In the contact interface of the Spirit Realm, Qiao Hongyu, who had been worried all day, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Shun who was unharmed.

Just a day ago, the caravan arranged by Gu Shun finally handed over the realistic chip smuggled out from Shangcheng to Qiao Hongyu after layers of inspection.

Now, the two have made contact using the video communication of the spirit realm.

"I'll make a long story short, soon Company M will restart the server matrix of the Spiritual World, and the entire Spiritual World will also be restarted.

There is a window period of about 3 minutes to restart, when the entire border inspection will be paralyzed, and the army in the lower city will take advantage of this moment to immediately occupy the upper city border inspection and destroy all the border monitoring and vigilance robots. Gu Shun commanded.

"Understood." Qiao Hongyu said excitedly. The Lower City is finally going to declare war on the Upper City.

……

In the countless neon pictures in the upper city, Shi Zhou came to the control space integrated by the spiritual realm system matrix with the source code.

This space is the core center that governs the countless realms and spirit worlds, which were previously completely controlled by artificial intelligence. And after restarting the spirit world, he was given the opportunity to change everything.

"Come on, Spirit World, I will be immortal forever." Shi Zhou laughed and slapped the cube on the central console of the Spirit Matrix.

In an instant, countless lines as bright as day spread along the entire console like ripples towards the entire control space.

In the picture, the central matrix that controls the entire spiritual world is also revealed to the world for the first time.

It was a spire that didn't reach the top, and the body of the tower shimmered with light, and there were countless data scrolling on it.

Perhaps Stephen designed the core center of the spiritual realm like this, also to commemorate the former city of Meta.

As the order to restart was given, all the worlds of the Spirit Realm were gradually shrouded in darkness, and the players in them were forcibly transported back to reality.

The neon-filled Upper City was also extinguished.

"The lights at the border check are out, it's now, attack!"

The soldiers in the lower city, who had already been gearing up, immediately rushed to the border inspection in the upper city.

More than 100 years later, they finally broke through this insurmountable obstacle, and the upper city was revealed to them for the first time.

All the people in the upper city are waiting with great anticipation for the spiritual world to restart.

Although it is not they who found the source code, since the spirit world continues to be controlled by Company M, for them, life is no different than before, and they will continue to spend the rest of their lives in the spirit world.

Three minutes later, the entire dark upper city was once again lit up with countless neons, and the spiritual realm that had been running for more than a hundred years was restarted.

At the same time, everything has been turned into a ruin, and the four border guards on duty have also been arrested, and they can only be arrested before they have time to transmit information to the city.

Looking at these frail Shangcheng people, the soldiers in the lower city were full of disdain, but they didn't expect that these Shangcheng people, who claimed to be advanced in civilization, were not even as good as monkeys.

Standing at the border and looking to the east, the undulating buildings of the upper city are already close at hand.

"Shall we go in and take the upper city in one go?" One of his subordinates couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Xiaopeng, who was in charge of the front-line command, vetoed:

"According to the information sent back by the city lord, the main military force of the upper city is a combat mecha called a mechanical samurai, as well as a large number of drones and robots, all of which are controlled by the spirit realm.

Now that the spiritual realm has been restarted, if we attack rashly, we will inevitably suffer huge casualties.

The city lord didn't give the next order, we just need to wait for the fighters. ”

……

After the spiritual realm was restarted, Shi Zhou was also transported back to reality from the control space.

At this moment, he stood in front of the huge matrix composed of countless spirit world servers, extremely nervous and looking forward to the moment when he entered that immortal command.

His physical body is about to pass away, but if the spirit still exists in the spiritual realm, then he has truly achieved the eternal life that mankind has sought for eternity.

Finally, the matrix in front of him lit up again, and he immediately logged into the spirit world.

In the control space, he saw the three creation laws set by Xiu and Stevenh, as well as countless rules and codes that spread out. As the owner of the source code, he gained the power to modify and control the entire spirit world.

Grain pig

Naturally, it will be possible to bypass the artificial intelligence named 404 and modify the restrictions left by Stephen.

"This day has finally arrived, and I want everyone to know that the spiritual world is the eternal destination of mankind."

Just as Shi Zhou was about to modify the limit, countless spiders suddenly appeared in the laws and codes of the entire spiritual realm, and these black-red spiders began to frantically eat away at everything in this control space.

The instrument responsible for monitoring the health of the spiritual realm is alarming at this moment.

"This is, Spider Cut?" Shi Zhou looked at the countless ant-sized spiders in his field of vision in great horror, constantly gnawing and destroying countless core data in the control space, and gradually grew into behemoths.

In the blink of an eye, millions of worlds were destroyed by spiders and completely paralyzed.

The anti-virus system and security barrier of the entire spirit world were as fragile as paper in front of the spider cut, and they were vulnerable.

Some even don't react directly, allowing the spider cut to destroy it unscrupulously, as if the spider cut is not an invading virus, but the system itself.

Shi Zhou watched the domain world gradually collapse in a daze, and he suddenly realized that the spider cut was all from the source code he had put into the control matrix.

"It's that kid, we've all been deceived by him, it's not the source code, it's the virus that ruined the entire spirit world."

Shi Zhou's eyes were torn, seeing that everything was irreparable, he could only watch as the spider cut and destroy the entire spirit world.

At this moment, just like Meta City at that time, the spider cut and destroyed the entire metaverse.

After the spiritual realm restarted, not long after countless Shangcheng residents logged into their spiritual realm, countless spiders suddenly appeared in all the worlds.

No one knows where they come from, and the overwhelming spiders are like black holes that devour everything, spreading in all directions along the coordinates connecting the various spaces, and wherever they pass, the space collapses, the data is lost, and nothing is left in the dark ground.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's realistic chip had a violent overload reaction, and a large amount of empty data was forcibly entered into everyone's mind, and many people were horrified to find that they were trapped in this dark world.

What's more, the electrocardiogram on the life-sustaining device directly turned into a straight line, and the violent overload directly caused their brains to be overwhelmed, taking their lives, and countless life monitoring alarms sounded between the buildings in the upper city.

Before that, Gu Shun had already asked all his subordinates to pull out the simulated chips, so they didn't get involved in this disaster.

Now, all the countless neon screens in the upper city had turned into dancing snowflakes, and the tall tower in the distance that stored the spiritual realm server mother machine was even billowing smoke.

"It's over, it's all over, the spiritual realm is ruined." All the men of Shangcheng looked at all this in despair and numbness, although the high-rise buildings of Shangcheng still stand, but in their eyes, Shangcheng seemed to be collapsing.

The Holocaust swept through the Upper City.

They watched the world they had grown up in gradually destroy, and the sense of destruction that the sky had collapsed made them feel that everything had gone dark.

Just when everyone thought that the spiritual realm would completely collapse like the metaverse back then, the spiritual realm suddenly and automatically cut off all external contact.

A few seconds later, the spirit realm restarted for the second time.

A highly anthropomorphic AI voice reaches everyone's ears through neon screens throughout the city.

"The AI data personality has been activated, the spirit world virus has been locked by the system, and the spirit world self-preservation program has been activated."

Gu Shun, who heard this voice, was stunned at first, he didn't expect that the artificial intelligence in the Spirit Realm World was not destroyed by the spider cut.

At this moment, Gu Shun rushed to the Shangcheng border inspection by car and saw Xiaopeng and them, who had completely occupied the border inspection.

"City Lord, we have taken full control of the Upper City Border Checkpoint as you ordered.

All the troops and equipment have been prepared and can give the order to attack at any time, and it is time for these Shangcheng people who look down on people to give them a good taste of our strength. Xiaopeng reported to Gu Shun.

"Good job."

Originally, Gu Shun was going to launch an attack on Shangcheng while the spider cut was raging in Shangcheng, but this time the Shangcheng Spirit Realm suddenly restarted, which made him have a bad premonition.

If Stephen's real purpose was to destroy the spiritual realm, he would not have had to go through so much trouble, and what was this suddenly activated artificial intelligence?

Gu Shun felt that this source code might not be as simple as he thought at the beginning. He didn't attack rashly, but chose to continue to observe.

An hour later.

"Report, a person outside who calls himself Shi Zhou is looking for you, the city lord."
