Chapter 559: Breakthrough
Mortal Dust Qi.
“The strongest effect… cos from the category with the highest information density per unit of material?”
Jie Ming’s brows were tightly furrowed as he sank into deep thought.
“No, that doesn’t seem right…”
If sorted purely by information volu, the Incense Fire Poison was undoubtedly the most bloated and heaviest, as it carried the most complex malice from billions of sentient beings.
Unrefined Faith Power followed closely behind. This ranking roughly matched their actual combat performance.
“But if we only look at information volu, Mortal Dust Qi should rank second. Yet the information beings reacted most calmly to Mortal Dust Qi among all these materials.”
“And if it were simply about information volu, the spell models of high-level witchcraft would also contain massive amounts of data. However, even when high-level spells struck those beings directly, they remained unusually calm.”
He tapped the experintal table, continuously filtering various conditions in his mind.
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in Jie Ming’s eyes.
“No…”
Jie Ming suddenly recalled sothing.
What did those information beings normally co into contact with?
It was the “pure” information environnt of the Information Plane itself—ordered, clear, and logically rigorous.
From the structure of the plane to their own composition, everything was filled with order.
And these five materials before him shared one common point.
They were all “irregular.”
Mortal Dust Qi was mixed with desire, Baleful Yin Qi was filled with destruction, Incense Fire Poison twisted belief, Faith Power carried distracting thoughts, and demonic spirit fragnts erupted with emotion.
All of them were “chaotic” information.
“Could it be…”
A flash of insight struck Jie Ming’s mind.
“What triggers their stress response isn’t the amount of information, but the degree of chaos within the information itself.”
He abruptly stood up and began pacing back and forth inside the laboratory.
Yes, that was it.
Those information beings were like supercomputers operating with extre precision, only recognizing and compatible with “formatted” data.
Incense Fire Poison, on the other hand, was like a tangled ss sared with mud, forcibly stuffed into a precision instrunt…
It wasn’t a matter of insufficient computing power, but fundantal incompatibility.
“Witchcraft is a product of logic, which is why it can be reverse-analyzed by the opponent. When those information beings suffer damage from spells, they indeed show little reaction. But Mortal Dust, obsessions, resentnt… these things are inherently emotional, chaotic, and disordered from the mont of their birth.”
The corners of Jie Ming’s mouth gradually lifted as his reasoning progressed.
“And the algorithms of these information beings are too perfect. For the natives living within this ‘perfect algorithm,’ materials filled with chaotic information are not weapons at all, but logical viruses capable of destroying their very individuals…”
“No wonder the reaction to Incense Fire Poison was the strongest.”
Jie Ming stopped in his tracks, his eyes shining with excitent.
After all, Incense Fire Poison itself was synonymous with “chaos.”
From the mont of its birth, all orderly thoughts had been stripped away. The evil thoughts, obsessions, and resentnts of billions of sentient beings were forcibly compressed together. These negative emotions intertwined and twisted with one another, creating a degree of chaos far surpassing the other materials.
Although Faith Power also contained distracting thoughts, its main body was relatively orderly wish power, so its reaction ranked second.
Demonic spirit fragnts represented emotional outbursts, but excessively explosive emotions were actually sowhat orderly, resulting in a lighter reaction.
As for Baleful Yin Qi and Mortal Dust Qi, although they contained chaotic elents, they were relatively “pure.”
Baleful Yin Qi was the pure echo of death, while Mortal Dust Qi was the pure entanglent of desire. With only a single dinsion of chaos, their reactions were the smallest.
“No rush. I can’t jump to conclusions yet. I need more samples to confirm.”
In the end, relying on a researcher’s rigor, Jie Ming took a deep breath and suppressed the excitent in his heart.
He raised his hand and opened the magic network terminal, quickly recording the intelligence summary and analysis results he had compiled, then clicked to send.
【Intelligence upload successful】
【Recipient: Expeditionary Force Command】
After finishing this, Jie Ming leaned back in his chair and waited quietly.
Less than ten minutes later, a knock sounded at the laboratory door.
“Lord Jie Ming, Lord Martin requests your presence at the core camp.”
Jie Ming stood up, the corners of his mouth curving into a faint smile.
Faster than he had expected. It seed the matter he had discovered was quite important.
The core camp was not far from Jie Ming’s area, but it was heavily guarded.
Along the way, he passed through three security checks: spiritual force scan, law fluctuation detection, and information contamination screening.
Each one was several tis stricter than ordinary defensive arrays.
According to the guiding wizard, this was because the information beings themselves had the potential to replace a wizard’s soul information – in other words, possession.
Although no such cases had been discovered yet, the camp continued to update its inspection facilities as a precaution.
Jie Ming cooperated and passed all the checks, finally being led into a massive tal fortress.
The interior space of the fortress was far larger than it appeared from outside, clearly expanded with spatial extension spells.
Over a hundred wizards stood in two rows on either side, every one of them exuding unfathomable auras.
The weakest were sixth-ring, while the dozen or so auras that made his heart palpitate were all seventh-ring.
At the center, the eighth-ring wizard “Ashheart” Martin sat on the main seat, calmly gazing at Jie Ming.
Jie Ming stepped forward a few paces and respectfully saluted.
“Greetings, Wizard Martin.”
Martin waved his hand. “No need for excessive courtesy.”
He paused, then looked directly at Jie Ming. “I’ve seen the intelligence you uploaded. Now I need you to confirm in person: how confident are you in those conclusions?”
Jie Ming pondered for a mont and organized his words.
“Based on my calculations, the probability is very high.”
He spoke truthfully, “Judging from the five effective samples currently available, the pattern of ‘information chaos level triggering stress response’ matches highly. However, to fully confirm it, more sample tests are still needed.”
“Five samples?” A seventh-ring wizard beside him frowned. “The number of tests is indeed a bit low.”
Jie Ming nodded and briefly recounted the two tis he had entered the Information Plane.
Of course, he did not ntion the true origins of the cultivation-side materials like Incense Fire Poison and Mortal Dust Qi. He simply referred to them as “cohesive condensates of imaginary elents created through self-invented laws.”
…In a sense, he wasn’t lying.
The high-ranking wizards present exchanged glances after listening.
“Imaginary-type elents…” soone murmured. “Such things are indeed rare. I didn’t expect you to be able to produce so many variants.”
Martin did not speak. He simply raised his hand and pointed into the air.
The intelligence data Jie Ming had uploaded earlier was projected, displaying all the data, rankings, and analysis processes clearly.
“Take a look,” Martin said.
More than a dozen seventh-ring wizards and over a hundred sixth-ring wizards all stepped forward to examine the data carefully.
So discussed in low voices, so frowned in thought, and others directly opened their own magic network terminals to compare with previous experint records.
A mont later, a white-haired seventh-ring wizard spoke first.
“From the data, this pattern does have a high possibility of holding true.” He paused. “Now that I think about it, the squad I led previously used chaos-attribute witchcraft to attack those beings, and the effect was indeed sowhat better than other spells. I didn’t pay much attention at the ti, but now it seems it should be the sa principle.”
“I’ve encountered sothing similar on my side as well,” another seventh-ring wizard chid in. “An apprentice accidentally used a spirit pollution-type spell, and that information being’s reaction was far more intense than usual.”
More and more wizards began to speak up, submitting the anomalous phenona they had observed in their previous experints.
Jie Ming listened quietly, feeling increasingly certain in his heart.
The discussion lasted for half an hour.
Finally, Martin raised his hand and pressed down lightly, and everyone fell silent.
“Since everyone agrees that verification is necessary, we will arrange personnel to conduct dedicated tests.” Martin looked toward Jie Ming. “How much of those… imaginary-type materials of yours do you still have? I can purchase them.”
Jie Ming quickly calculated in his mind.
The other miscellaneous raw materials did not need his concern, as the wizard civilization could produce them itself. What he could actually sell were the three types: Mortal Dust Qi, Baleful Yin Qi, and Incense Fire Poison.
Fortunately, he still had quite a substantial stock of these.
“Enough to support more than a hundred tests,” he gave a conservative figure.
Martin nodded. “That’s enough. I’ll take them all.”
He didn’t even ask about the price.
“Ashheart” Martin stood up, his gaze sweeping across everyone present.
“From each squad, select wizards proficient in spirit pollution, emotional interference, and chaos laws to form a dedicated testing team.”
“The testing team will be under Jie Ming’s technical guidance and report directly to .”
“Produce a complete testing plan within three days.”
Everyone responded in unison.
