24 Version 2.0 Patch Notes / Semi-Digital Lifeform

Name: Chen Mo / Rasiel

Species: Semi-Digital Lifeform

Cultivation: 9th Stage Soul Formation

Job: Programmer, ???

Skills:

OpenSource - Can intuitively comprehend the intricate formulas and particles that compose all matter and energy. Able to reverse-engineer the underlying patterns of creation, dismantling any material or spell to understand its primal origins.

Existence - Keenly aware of all unconcealed knowledge across the physical and spiritual planes. Automatically indexes and absorbs information, lore, history, and secrets laid bare. An ever-growing well of uncontrolled insight.

Scripting - Masters the art of forging new particles and formulas through will and imagination. Can reshape spells, materials, minds, and souls by reconfiguring their fundamental patterns. Effortlessly optimizes, reinforces, and transforms existing metaphysical architectures.

Development - Visualizes and gives life to completely novel elemental particles, ethereal blueprints, and law formulas. Manifests wondrous objects, creatures, and phenomena by combining raw imagination with a deep intuitive understanding of the primordial mechanisms of the universe.

Memory - Perfectly recalls all experiences and knowledge without deterioration. An indestructible vessel containing immense amounts of readily accessible information. Cannot be tampered with or altered by any magic or entity without consent. Provides limitless insight into the ancient truths of existence.

Update - Can directly modify and enhance the user's own existence by instilling new data and skills using available infonts. Able to synthesize and channel infonts to overwrite the user's metaphysical blueprint with new capabilities, knowledge and attributes. This allows the rapid acquisition of skills, languages, muscle memory, etc without needing to undergo traditional training. The user's own existence can be augmented, edited and reprogrammed as if it were data.

Parallel Processing - Can independently process and absorb infonts using a separate metaphysical processing structure that operates in parallel with the main consciousness. This allows rapid comprehension and synthesis of infonts without compromising or interfering with the focus and functions of the main mind. Also remains aware and conscious even when the primary consciousness is inactive, asleep or incapacitated, providing ongoing peripheral awareness and cognition.

Storage - Able to break down any physical object or conceptual entity into its fundamental infonts particles. Can then compress, encrypt and store these primal building blocks in a metaphysical pocket dimension immune to the effects of time and space. Stored items are perfectly preserved and secured, immune to any external disturbances or disruptions. Can retrieve and reconstitute stored items at will by reassembling their infonts components into their original forms. Provides a limitless, inviolable storage space for safekeeping objects, knowledge, memories, skills, entities, and more.

The unbound oblivion encasing Chen Mo's consciousness flickered, fractal shards of light piercing the veil as his awareness returned to the physical realm. Instinctively, he felt that something profound had shifted within him during his metaphysical sojourn - a seismic evolution catalyzed by the crucible of his spiritual tribulations.

Chen Mo's senses unfurled like ethereal tendrils probing the very substance of his being. Chen Mo's eyes flickered open, irises blazing with inner radiance as he scrutinized the influx of new data searing across his mindscape.

[Species Updated: Human -> Semi-Digital Lifeform]

He felt his body and all the infonts around him become one. A normal Soul Formation cultivator could use their divine sense up to a hundred miles radius but he could sense up to a thousand miles. That was the standard for an early Soul and Body Integration realm cultivator.

Not only could he sense anything across a thousand miles radius, he could also manipulate infonts easily without effort. And if he merged his divine sense to his skills, he could probably sense even further.

Cosmic calculations flickered through his consciousness at an accelerated pace that defied mortal comprehension. Chen Mo's infonts processing capabilities had increased millionfold, a mere side effect granting him the slightest tangential insight into the primordial rhythms underlying all of creation.

He suddenly felt the presence of a strong force trying to restrain him.

'Is this the Heavenly Dao? It seems to be rejecting my existence'

He felt the force of the Heavenly Dao actively trying to restrict him but he could easily bypass the restriction by analyzing and manipulating the infonts around him to make the restriction power unable to lock on to him.

'It's really a tiring to do this stuff actively, I should create a script later to handle stuff like that' 

He thought to himself that the Heavenly Dao suddenly got restless and started to restrain him the moment he became a Semi-Digital Lifeform, and this was only the Semi-Digital, he wondered what would happen if he became a fully awakened digital lifeform.

"It seems things aren't so simple. But that aside…"

[Chen Mo / Rasiel]

Chen Mo wondered if that woman was still in his body. Why did it display two names?

'No, I need to calm down'

He thought that maybe this had something to do with what was happening to Rasiel.

[Activate skill [Existence] – Who is Rasiel]

[

Name: Rasiel

Species: Digital Lifeform

Information: The origin ??? [ERROR] – [Concealed Information]. A multipurpose AI created my Chen Mo. Chen Mo gave a part of his soul to Rasiel and she evolved into a digital lifeform. Due to Chen Mo's soul partially merging with Rasiel, he became a Semi-Digital Lifeform.

]

'Part of my soul? I gave what now?'

"So much for 'let me give you a gift', she actually gave out part of my soul like it was her own. Hmph" 

Chen Mo stood up and sighed in relief, at least the constant voice in his head telling him to breakthrough to Soul Formation realm had calmed down now that he had broken through.

Yet one facet of this metamorphosis gave Chen Mo pause. His designation - the fundamental identifiers parsing his existence - had inexplicably merged into a paradoxical duality.

For now, more immediate concerns pressed upon him as his senses realigned to the ravaged sanctuary once more.

Yin Mei's corruptive, chaotic energies had finally been depleted in her ceaseless assault. In her absence, the deceptively fragile form of Mei Ling collapsed bonelessly amid the scorched ruins. The aged Clan Elder darted forward with preternatural alacrity, cradling the unconscious girl with a gentleness belying his gnarled frame.

Chen Mo's lip curled in a cool smirk as the old man turned to depart, clearly mistaking the sudden lull for a reprieve. Before the Elder could make his escape with Mei Ling in tow, Chen Mo's voice cut through the dissipating fray with frigid clarity.

"Did I say you could leave?"

The words sliced through the oppressive silence, each syllable dripping with subtle menace and unspoken power. Chen Mo's newly transcended presence radiated from his physical vessel in palpable waves, a refutation of reality itself as the rubble around him shuddered and groaned in protest.

The clan Elder froze, weathered features contorting in an inscrutable blend of surprise, confusion, and dawning dread. In that suspended moment, none could deny the sheer magnitude of the force that had spontaneously manifested before them. This was no mere disciple testing the shackles of their cultivation - an unknowable cosmic power had fully awakened amidst the devastation.

Only the question remained: was Chen Mo still the one holding its reins, or had he already been subsumed by entities and energies his limited perspective could scarcely fathom? (nah, he is just restricting his movements my manipulating the infonts around him, it's not that deep old man) The fate of the entire clan, perhaps even the stability of this fractured realm, now teetered upon that breathless revelation.
