After the spiritual qi revival, everyone began cultivating, but Lin Qi's spiritual affinity tested at zero, earning him a reputation as a good-for-nothing. Then, in the college entrance exam hall, he submitted an answer based on “the wave function quantization of spiritual energy.” The Immortal Alliance was shaken and classified it as a “forbidden conjecture.” When a cult attacked the city, he quietly calculated the blast yield and used a homemade resonance interferometer to blast a hole through the Evil God's altar.
At the mediocre Qingyun Academy, he was the weakest “special observer” in its history, mocked and scorned by the prodigies. Then he revealed a “spiritual-force partial-derivative shield” that withstood a Foundation Establishment strike, and used a “rune logic bomb” to paralyze the academy's grand array. Faced with an ancient restriction that had stumped everyone for a thousand years, he picked up a piece of charcoal and started working it out on the stone wall. “There's a bug in this recursive function. Give me fifteen minutes to write a patch.”
The “Young Phoenix Selection” brought the continent's greatest prodigies together in Tiangong City. The divine physique's holy son looked down on mortal intellect, while the sword immortal maiden dismissed it outright. Lin Qi pushed up his glasses and activated his homemade rule-interference device. “Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Which of you wants to experience the violent power of science first?”
When the “Higher-Dimensional Enemy” that had annihilated civilizations arrived, the Heavenly Dao was on the verge of collapse. In the silence at the end of all things, Lin Qi strode forward over broken laws, with the self-evolving “Array of Mathematical Truth” behind him. He looked toward the indescribable shadow and calmly declared:
“Detected 37 critical vulnerabilities in this world's underlying protocol.”
“Requesting highest-level access. Executing final command...”
