"The strongest hacker..."
Ye Ling looked at the light flashing in Mu Bai's eyes and suddenly understood why the Primal Wisdom King had left Mu Bai as the creator of this universe after killing the other Hundred-Quality Star people.
Although Mu Bai spoke of his inferiority to his classmates, what the Primal Wisdom King needed was likely Mu Bai's astonishing talent in computer language.
Perhaps Mu Bai himself didn't realize that the virtual world he constructed had infinitely approached the real world, and even that virtual world had long become a real world in a certain sense.
Moreover, whether it was special characters, runes... or the garbled code that the Seven Pillars turned into after going berserk, and the current Primal Wisdom King, although these powers existed in different forms, fundamentally, they all had a common point.
That was to construct everything using textual symbols.
And Mu Bai's talent in computers could be fully applied to special characters and runes.
"If this guy learns the Mo Zhijian and my 'World,' I wonder how strong he can unleash... It's a pity his combat strength is a hard flaw, and he can't fully utilize the abilities of Mo Zhijian and 'World.'"
Ye Ling looked at Mu Bai at the moment, sighing with regret.
Mo Zhijian and "World" were similar to computer programming in a sense, but both required personal strength as a foundation.
Although Mu Bai had terrifying talent, his personal strength was a huge flaw, preventing him from fully unleashing the power of Mo Zhijian and "World."
Mu Bai's special talent was probably only effective against special existences like the Primal Wisdom King.
"Ye Ling, I'm all set!"
While Ye Ling was sighing, Mu Bai had made all the preparations, waiting for Ye Ling's soul power to be injected.
"Okay, I'll construct a barrier first to prevent external interference."
Ye Ling snapped back to reality, used runes to construct a defensive barrier around them, and simultaneously concealed their auras to prevent Tian Ji and the Seven Pillars from breaking in.
After taking defensive measures, Ye Ling injected his soul power into Mu Bai's computer.
Boom!
The moment Ye Ling's soul power connected with Mu Bai's computer, Ye Ling felt an unprecedented dizziness, as if the entire world was spinning.
The next moment, Ye Ling's eyes went black, and he found himself in a dark space.
"This is..."
Ye Ling glanced around the space and then at his hand, realizing that everything was virtual and what he saw was just an illusion.
Realizing this, Ye Ling was about to break the illusion and return to reality when Mu Bai's voice came, "Ye Ling, don't disconnect... I used your soul power to construct a network space, and my host is hidden in this network space. Now your consciousness is equivalent to my firewall."
"I am your firewall..."
Hearing Mu Bai's words, Ye Ling murmured, then asked Mu Bai, "What do I need to do?"
Mu Bai said, "The Primal Wisdom King won't sit idly by. I estimate he'll attack soon. What you need to do is intercept all his attacks until I gain complete control of him."
"Understood."
"Don't be careless. In this network space, although you can use all your abilities, their power completely depends on your soul power strength, not your cultivation."
"Writing the Trojan horse and attacking the Primal Wisdom King requires half of your soul power, so the power you can use is only half of your soul power. Don't exceed it, otherwise, my computing power won't be enough, and I'll be counterattacked by the Primal Wisdom King!"
"Half of my soul power... I remember." Ye Ling closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, setting a threshold for himself before opening his eyes.
A large number of runes manifested in the dark space, forming a Great Wall.
Ye Ling stood at the peak of the Great Wall and could see a pair of huge eyes opening in the distant darkness, flashing with scarlet light.
The next moment, a large number of monsters made of garbled code materialized outside the Great Wall and began to constantly impact the rune Great Wall constructed by Ye Ling.
Endless monsters crashed against the rune Great Wall.
The moment those monsters collided with the Great Wall, they turned to ashes.
Although a single garbled monster could not affect the rune Great Wall much, with a large number of impacts, Ye Ling's runes would be damaged due to energy consumption, and gaps would appear in the rune Great Wall.
The moment the rune Great Wall was damaged, Ye Ling would repair it with new runes. However, with more and more monsters, there would always be one or two that slipped through, and Ye Ling would have to kill them himself.
For a short time, the rune Great Wall constructed by Ye Ling was indestructible and impregnable.
"This wave of attack is probably just a probe from the Primal Wisdom King. There will likely be more fierce attacks to come. I need to plan my half of the soul power carefully, otherwise, the Primal Wisdom King might really break through my defense line."
Ye Ling stood at the peak of the Great Wall, looking at the overwhelming monsters, realizing that this battle was not as simple as he thought.
Although the key to victory lay with Mu Bai and his other half of soul power, if he failed, Mu Bai would also fall.
"I can't be careless..."
Ye Ling became serious, no longer wasting power, and began to use each rune precisely.
Buzz—!
At this moment, a golden light descended into the dark space, and the power of the rune Great Wall constructed by Ye Ling increased, becoming even more solid. The garbled monsters outside the Great Wall instantly disappeared in large numbers.
"This is..."
Ye Ling saw the golden light that suddenly appeared and before he could ask, Mu Bai's voice came, "My progress is going smoothly, so I've optimized your rune Great Wall for you, and it's now more solid."
"However, the Primal Wisdom King is still testing our strength. There will be more severe challenges ahead, so let's not be careless!"
After Mu Bai finished speaking, he fell silent, seemingly fully immersed in the battle with the Primal Wisdom King.
Ye Ling looked at the rune Great Wall emitting a dazzling golden light and smiled wryly, "This guy... he even found time to help me. He really underestimated me..."
"It seems I have to work harder too, so I don't drag us down in this battle..."
Ye Ling smiled, and his Devouring Domain transformed into dark chains, coiling around the rune Great Wall, emitting a terrifying black glow.
In the distant darkness, the Primal Wisdom King's eyes shed scarlet blood, and monsters ten to a hundred times stronger than before formed outside the rune Great Wall.
"Roar!!!"
Those monsters, with ear-piercing roars, like a bloody tide, crashed against the rune Great Wall!
