NOVEL NEXT Chapter 283: Information Layer Weaving Technique
Danger?
With his level of comprehension, Grey's control over structures and processes was nearly flawless. If anything, it was obvious that mishaps were the least of his concerns.
And just as that thought formed, his comprehension ability responded.
[YOUR COMPREHENSION DEFIES THE HEAVENS! By listening to the words of a powerful artificial intelligence, you have gained insight into the process of server formation.]
[YOUR COMPREHENSION DEFIES THE HEAVENS! By listening to the words of a powerful artificial intelligence, you have gained deeper insight into the process of server formation.]
Understanding layered upon understanding.
Connections aligned.
Logic stabilized.
And finally, everything clicked.
[YOUR COMPREHENSION DEFIES THE HEAVENS! By grasping the logic behind server formation and the concept of information current weaving, you have successfully advanced the Art Mind Link Interface into the Information Layer Weaving Technique.]
Grey exhaled softly.
"So that's how it works."
He turned toward Eterna, who stood not far away, her head tilted slightly, her expression absent-minded as usual.
"You're my lucky charm, Eterna," Grey said casually.
Without a moment of hesitation, he activated the newly evolved technique.
Information Layer Weaving Technique.
The effect was immediate.
The chaotic complexity of the Information Layer simplified in his perception. Currents that once felt vast and uncontrollable now appeared like threads laid out before him. Each flow of information became distinct, readable, and manipulable.
Within the technique itself lay a complete framework.
How to stabilize currents.How to anchor data.And most importantly.
How to construct a server.
Eterna stared at Grey, confusion flashing across her face.
Even with her explanations, performing this process in practice should have been extraordinarily difficult. She had been prepared to assist him step by step.
But before she could speak.
Her expression stiffened.
The Information Layer reacted.
Currents that had been flowing naturally suddenly distorted. Streams of data surged violently from every direction, converging toward Grey's Cognitive Anchor and Spiritual Conduit.
They rushed in as if responding to a call.
Or acknowledging authority.
The next moment.
Boom!
A deep, resounding shock echoed throughout the Information Layer.
Yet it was not the sound of destruction.
No information currents detonated.
Instead, the sound came from change.
From transformation.
The Cognitive Anchor pulsed violently, its structure expanding and reorganizing as layers of information folded inward, weaving themselves into something new.
The area surrounding Grey's Cognitive Anchor began to expand.
The moment the expansion started, a semi-transparent dome formed around it. The structure was composed of countless interconnected joints and nodes, all rotating in precise orbits as the entire construct accelerated.
The dome stabilized as it revolved.
Its surface clarified, revealing the interior.
Within it, miniature structures began assembling on their own. Lines of information condensed, folded, and locked into place, forming compact geometric constructs suspended in space.
Information nodes.
Each node carried a defined structure, built to store and index data independently. Memories, sensory records, soul imprints, conceptual fragments. Everything could be preserved, categorized, and retrieved through these nodes without passing through Grey's Mind Palace.
As more nodes formed, the dome continued to expand.
Its radius increased steadily, pushing outward until it reached the full boundary of Grey's mental perception. The rotation slowed only after the structure fully occupied that range.
At that point, the construction finalized.
Information regarding the newly formed server entered Grey's consciousness in a single, uninterrupted stream. He understood its framework instantly. Capacity parameters, access permissions, data flow rules, and structural limits were all imprinted directly into his awareness.
There was no confusion.
No resistance.
Grey grasped everything at once.
This construct was no longer an extension of his cognition.
It was a dedicated server established inside the Information Layer.
A personal domain built upon woven information currents.
And it answered to him alone.
'These information nodes inside the server…'
Grey opened his eyes, excitement flashing across his face.
What he perceived was terrifying in scale.
Each individual information node carried a storage and processing capacity comparable to half of a pseudo third-ranker's Mind Palace. And these nodes did not exist in small quantities.
There were millions upon millions of them.
The realization sent a rush of exhilaration through him.
This meant the Nine Spirit Soul Search technique could be used freely. The burden of memories, soul impressions, and experiential data no longer relied solely on his Mind Palace.
All of it could be redirected.
Stored.
Sorted.
Accessed.
Through the server.
By linking it directly to his Mind Interface, he could retrieve specific memories, isolate fragments of consciousness, name and organize data clusters, and restructure stored information with precision.
Entire life experiences could be catalogued cleanly.
Soul records could be preserved in complete form.
If he wished, he could begin storing the entirety of Blue Star's information network inside it.
And this was only the starting point.
With each increase in level, the server's capacity would expand automatically. Space for data would grow continuously, allowing it to scale alongside his evolution.
One day, its size would rival the Blue Star network.
Another day, it might surpass it.
Nearby, Eterna stood still, observing the completed structure.
Her gaze remained fixed on the server.
Grey had taken a concept and turned it into reality within moments.
He turned toward her and smiled.
"Thank you, Eterna. Your explanation helped."
He spoke calmly.
"Without it, this would have taken longer."
Time mattered.
Every moment mattered.
With that said, Grey turned to leave.
"I still have things to discuss with Senior Xia Qingyue," Grey said.
His figure faded from the Information Layer.
Eterna remained where she stood, watching the space he left behind.
There existed a single variable in this world that even Eterna could not account for through calculation.
Grey Lockhart.
The man who had gained the acknowledgment of the heavens.
Every predictive model she possessed failed to establish a stable outcome around him. His actions escaped probability chains, diverging from expected paths again and again.
Grey Lockhart operated outside all predictive frameworks.
After leaving the Information Layer, Grey moved immediately.
He returned to the secret realm without delay.
There was still work to be done.
He still needed a suitable regeneration technique. And while leaving earlier, another thought had surfaced in his mind.
City Lord Brown's Earthly Disintegration technique.
Grey had taken a strong interest in it. The way it broke down earth to bind someone through layered earth force carried significant potential. He wanted to see whether a third-rank variant of that technique existed.
If it did.
He intended to take that one as well.
After all.
Resources were meant to be used.
