Calculating My Way To Immortality

Yu Tian focused on the yin and yang energy inside him.

He slowly circulated it, trying to find a balance. The energy was so sensitive to the slightest movements that even with his high mind realm, his calculations were becoming irrelevant due to how rapidly things changed.

He needed to find the perfect balance while still accounting for this. Not to mention, the rebirth was almost coming to an end.

"It seems the problem is me," he thought.

He ignored the energy first and concentrated on his mind instead.

His level five mind had so much processing power, yet he still felt he wasn't using it to its full potential. Something about his calculation ability that he'd been ignoring was that it didn't require his mind power.

His own mind power was just about how much he could ask. As long as he asked, the calculation ability would always respond. But asking didn't spend all that much mental power, meaning he could ask quite a lot of questions at once. At some point, he could even do many things at the same time. Or at least that's what he thought.

In reality, he wasn't doing them at the same time. His brain was simply switching between multiple processes too fast, creating the illusion of simultaneous processing. This was the piece he was missing to perfect his overclock ability.

Although it was much easier to use now, he still couldn't have it on at all times.

He thought about his current single train of thought and decided to call it a process. Since he was processing it with his processing power, it made sense to call it a process. This process contained many workloads that he needed to do, each lining up and waiting for him to free up his active mind to process them.

He decided to call the active mind the processor, since it processed the processes.

He then observed the process. The line was way too long. He decided to split it first.

Instead of having a single long process that goes on forever and keeps stacking, he now had multiple smaller processes. But this hadn't solved his problem yet. Even if they were smaller, they were still going through the same processor.

The solution for this was simple - just make more processors.

Well, not like that. To make multiple processors in his single brain was quite hard. It would need a full rework of the brain. Still, he could isolate areas in the single processor he had. He had so much processing power that was all being wasted when running single tasks.

To prevent wasting it, he created sections in his processor, which he called cores. These cores were like micro processors, all of them sharing the large pool of processing power. Each of these micro processors could easily run processes.

With these, he could now run multiple processes simultaneously without losing time.

Still, there was a problem. In battle, he always had questions lined up one after another.

Usually, the latter question was dependent on the one before. This was a problem. If the two were run at the same time instead of in sequential order, he would get unusable data. That's why he decided to create a scheduler.

This allowed him to arrange processes neatly. He could queue processes here and load them into the free micro processors in order of which has higher priority. He could also have processes that relied on data from other processes stay on hold until the process ended and the data was provided. Then the process could proceed.

…

Yu Tian stepped back to observe what he had built. It was a complete mental architecture.

He would call this v1.

He felt it had lots of room for improvement, but he was a little uneasy. His calculation ability was already suppressing his emotions greatly, and this would probably suppress him even more. He needed to be careful not to lose himself in the process of improvement.

Anyway, he would think about that later. For now, he needed to worry about the rebirth effect that was almost coming to an end.

His attention switched back to the yin and yang energies. Now, with his new v1 architecture, the calculations were much easier. He easily managed to account for the rapid changes by spinning up multiple processes.

In just a few seconds, he was able to completely balance the yin and yang energies. Now they were just yin-yang - a single unified energy. He then took this unified energy and moved it to his spiritual root where it settled.

After that, all that was left was to wait for the root to grow around that energy and heal itself. He had already cleared the other energies inside the root, so now it was just this. If it didn't work, he'd basically be crippled.

As the rebirth came to an end, the root slowly healed around the yin-yang energy and completed its advancement to high grade without any issues.

He opened his eyes and Xueling did the same. Her face was twisted in pain. "Did you succeed?" she asked.

He smiled.

"Yes," he replied.

"As expected of you," she spoke weakly.

Yu Tian looked up with a sour expression. The lightning didn't seem to want to let up. He was beginning to get nervous as Xueling was almost at her limit, but after some calculations, he confirmed that it was just the final strikes.

"Stay strong, it's just the final strikes," he said, and she nodded.

The heavenly lightning then proceeded to strike them a few more times before stopping. Yu Tian observed as the clouds slowly dispersed and sighed in relief. One more strike and he didn't think she would've made it.

Unlike him, who actually absorbed the energy, it was much more difficult for her since both her body and root were extreme yin, making her weaker against this. He wondered if she would have trouble breaking through major realms in the future due to this.

Well, it should be fine since this time was a special case. As long as they didn't go against the heavens by trying to breakthrough together again, there shouldn't be any issues.

I wanted to have Li Yao cameo since she is the, yk. But I decided against it as some people are still recovering from the trauma. 🙏
