Chapter 664: Deciphering the System Core
His finger could touch it without any problem, and it did not explode. Although Tang Yin felt a terrifying power there, it did not attack him or anything like that. It seemed to be dormant, somehow.
When he managed to touch the Core, he smiled.
'Thanks to these simple arrays, maybe I can find the root and understand the core.' He thought and moved his hand across the array pattern where it lay.
He was trying to put it in place, that is, to correct it. But for that, he needed to understand it first, which was complicated.
That was why the finger moved smoothly through.
If these patterns represented the complexity of the Core, then the patterns must serve an important function that no one had told him. The fact that they formed like mazes told him they were there, waiting to be deciphered.
That was what he thought when he made those 100 simple arrays on the ground. And the mental representation he saw from those arrays is that if he corrected them, the mental 'world' that was formed would have all the elements coexisting normally, and that World would be completed.

If he used that logic in this Core, then correcting all its patterns, which numbered well over a thousand, would be the way to go.
Also, the fact that those two patterns were perfect and followed the operation meant that the principle used in these patterns on the Core was the same principle that he used to create those 100 simple arrays. The difference was in the complexity.
Perhaps if it was a batch of 10,000 simple arrays and he had to solve them, he could do it in less than 2 hours. But these were highly complex and difficult patterns to decipher, so his movement was slow and leisurely.
And so the hours passed. Little by little, he deciphered more and more of these patterns and corrected them. Nothing unusual happened. Even though he was touching the surface of that Core, his hand was still intact, which told him he was on the right track.
He had to be careful, though. He felt he could only touch above those patterns, and touching anywhere else would be dangerous, so he was patient.
'These patterns seem to have some connection with each of these wires. Every time I repair a pattern, the connection to each wire gets stronger,' he thought, and without stopping, he soon had another feeling.
Somehow, he felt that the system inside him was being affected. He didn't know if it was because of what the administrator was doing outside or because of what he was doing here. Since he couldn't summon the system here, he had to be patient and not let himself be distracted by anything.
Likewise, the hours continued to pass. First, it was 24 hours, which in a very short time became 48 hours. But it had not been enough, although in, that time, he could increase the speed with which he moved his hands after starting to decipher everything faster and more effectively.
In that way more than 72 hours passed until Tang Yin raised his hand, and a smile formed on his face when he saw that he had completed each pattern so that they complemented each other perfectly above the Core.
Although it had taken more than 72 hours to do so, the happiness on his face was overflowing!
His theory regarding this was correct!
But the moment he finished doing it, Tang Yin noticed that the Core brightened brightly, leaving its dormant state. Immediately, a strange light shot out of it and into Tang Yin's head.
Soon, he felt an immense amount of information being deposited in his brain, which brought on a headache so intense that it sent him into a semi-conscious state.
Then his body shot out from where he had been and began to fall into the infinite darkness below the long corridor he had walked down for a long time.
Many wires were waiting for him there. If he had been conscious, he might have thought his end had come.
From one moment to the next, a massive portal opened up under Tang Yin. Before he touched those wires, his body was suddenly pulled out of there. He wasn't even sent to the Heirs' Chambers, where he had arrived; he was sent to that deserted place where he had just fought against the Heir of Death.
Just as he appeared there, Akari deactivated her ability and shouted from the Spirit World, "Stop!"
The shout seemed powerful yet extremely beautiful and echoed throughout the World. Then everything stopped.
In the Spirit World and even in the Physical World, everything stopped.
The water, the leaves on the trees, and even the wind. Nothing could move except for Tang Yin, who continued to fall to the ground, still unconscious.
"Tang Yin, it's time!" she shouted.
But she immediately noticed that Tang Yin couldn't hear her.
'Tsk, this guy seems to have taken a very strong mental hit.' She thought as she looked at the system that she had tapped, but somehow, the AI seemed to want to take back control.
'I need the power of the Core for this.' She thought and immediately made a decision.
Without removing her power, she jumped through the air and suddenly appeared before Tang Yin in the physical World. It had been a long time since she had last shown herself in the World, but she focused on what she was coming to do.
She quickly approached Tang Yin and held him, hugging him gently. Then, for an instant, the mist that covered her face disappeared. It was only an instant, bringing darkness to the World, but suddenly, she returned again to the Spirit World.
And it was at that instant that Tang Yin came back to himself and snapped his eyes open.
'W-what was that?' In shock, he tried to look for 'it' that he had just seen. He couldn't describe what it was; it was something impossible to describe, but no matter how hard he searched, there was nothing around him, and soon his body collided with the ground, bringing pain to his body.
Then a cry came from the Spirit World again: "Tang Yin, it's time to turn the World into a System Tower, quick. Do as I say; this guy might get out of my control!"
