Chapter 414: A Corner of Reality

At the same time, Li Wenyuan had already obtained the Reality Penetrometer, which had long been completed but hadn’t been experimented on for various reasons.

After completing the production, he was surprised to discover that this instrument was extremely similar to the Curtain Penetrometer. From the outside, it looked like a dense metal ball.

Not only that, but the general remarks of the Reality Penetrometer categorized it as a product of the Wataum Civilization, even if that civilization was from countless cosmic eras ago.

On the other hand, humans seemed to have only indigenized it. The actual working principle had not changed at all. Even until now, this civilization had been passed down in a strange way.

The solid, dense sphere was placed in a special position generator. While using an anti-gravity force field to make it convenient to operate, a special electric field would provide it with the energy needed to activate it.

Activating the Reality Penetrometer also consumed a huge amount of energy, but it was much smaller than the Pillar of Creation. It was so small that a fully functioning Dyson sphere could support the cost of activating it.

In the beginning, Li Wenyuan found it difficult to understand why the Reality Penetrometer, which seemed to have a stronger effect, was much smaller than the Pillar of Creation in terms of size and energy consumption.

However, he later understood that the modifications produced by the Reality Penetrometer would also be gradually corrected by the universe itself, and the speed of the correction would be much faster.

The Reality Penetrometer was restricted by its structure and couldn’t be activated for a long time. Otherwise, it would cause damage to the instrument itself. By the time it could be activated again, the modifications produced last time had long returned to normal, unlike the Pillar of Creation which could continuously modify.

Simply put, this thing was used for temporary modifications. After all, its operation and activation were relatively easy. It could even be mass-produced as some kind of auxiliary device for battleships.

However, in Li Wenyuan’s opinion, the most important function of the Reality Penetrometer was its ability to see the truth.

He really wanted to personally take a look at the data that formed the world.

Hence, after making all the preparations, Li Wenyuan calmed down slightly and activated the Reality Penetrometer according to the existing template.

The Reality Cognition Integration left to him by the specialist also had a template that belonged to the Reality Penetrometer. With this thing, he quickly found a way to spy on reality.

Then, with the activation of the dense ball, a weak electric current seemed to spread around the entire spaceship.

The Reality Penetrometer was still spinning at high speed in the position that bound it. There didn’t seem to be any changes, but Li Wenyuan was still closely watching the spaceship that had activated the Reality Penetrometer through the sensors of many spaceships and the long-prepared observation station.

Seeing the truth wasn’t a specific modification, but a special scene that would be triggered when a certain modification reached its limit.

To put it in a more graphic way, the data processing had been overloaded, and some imperceptible loopholes had appeared.

Although the loophole was quickly fixed and would only last for an instant, it was enough to pry out a corner of the truth.

Then, the world suddenly paused for a moment.

The rotation of the Reality Penetrometer stopped at this moment. The surrounding molecules also froze at this moment and stopped moving.

The planet stopped rotating, and the entire galaxy no longer revolved around the supermassive Black Hole in the center.

The Exiled’s spaceship stopped halfway. The warriors on the spaceship still had fanatical expressions on their faces.

The exchange of fire between the Silent and the Hunter also stopped. The light of the Matter Separator and the reflection of the crescent battleship also condensed in midair. Among them, only the data light surrounding the crescent battleship didn’t lose its vitality. Instead, it kept changing rapidly during this moment of stagnation.

In the next moment, the overload ended. Everything in the world seemed to have returned to normal, and nothing had changed. However, all the intelligent lifeforms in the entire universe immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The Exiled, whose neural signals were transmitting extremely quickly, instantly realized that their consciousness was slow by a beat, as if the time in the middle had disappeared.

They quickly checked all kinds of timekeeping equipment, but they did not find anything unusual. It was as if they were suffering from mass hysteria.

The Silent and the Hunter also sensed the strangeness. Although the battle didn’t stop, it was enough to attract their attention.

They would not interpret it as hysteria. They all had their own understanding.

The Silent almost immediately associated this abnormality with Li Wenyuan.

In their opinion, he was the last person in the vicinity who might cause such an abnormality.

The Hunter, on the other hand, immediately realized something. They had also done in-depth research on prying into the truth and understood the root cause of this phenomenon.

Therefore, they immediately activated their special plan and began to search for the location that induced this phenomenon.

Having had a grudge against the Scribe for a long time, they already had a unique means of investigation, because this often meant that the Scribe had undergone some powerful modification, and this modification would leave obvious signs.

They needed to determine if the Scribe was there.

As for Li Wenyuan, who had caused all of this, he looked at the scene on the sensor in shock.

Before the Reality Penetrometer was activated, the scene did not change. However, the moment it was activated, which was the moment when the world stopped operating, he saw the cosmic background around the spaceship gradually fade.

There were only a few frames of time, but one could clearly feel that the universe around the spaceship was changing color.

The already empty space became much more illusory, as if some kind of rendering had been added, allowing the spaceship to enter another world.

This world was filled with a large number of characters with certain rules, filling every visibility space. Only when the characters changed could one see the gaps in the characters at different intervals.

These characters were not Arabic numerals, but Li Wenyuan had a feeling that this was a kind of number. It operated in a similar way to a computer and formed the essence of this world.

The time of stagnation ended, and the universe returned to normal. The characters and unique space disappeared like an illusion.

However, Li Wenyuan had already verified the truth of their universe.

A special pure iron ball was placed near the spaceship. The moment the world changed, he saw that the data that formed the iron ball was incompatible with the data that formed the space.

Even though the data characters were too dense and looked like some kind of graffiti, it was clear that the data of the iron ball was completely different because the data was floating on the spatial data.

Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and checked the harvest he had activated the Reality Penetrometer.

He didn’t change much. He only expanded the scope of the special detection wave that had a special reaction to human traces to the entire galaxy.

This would cause him to instantly receive a large amount of messy redundant data, but it also meant that he had scanned the entire Exile Galaxy.

What he needed to do was to separate the most special part from it..
