Aaron and Klaus returned to the bottom of the Logic Tower. The night was as dark as ink, and the stars vaguely reflected the outline of the tower. The fragment of the Soul Oracle in their hands, which was glowing with a faint blue light, weighed heavily on their hearts. It was not just a broken parchment page, but also the key evidence of the Soul System, and the first key to turning the tide.

  "How many secrets are hidden in this fragment?" Aaron's eyes were firm, and his tone was full of uncontrollable excitement, "All my father's efforts are here."

  Klaus nodded, "The contradictions within the system are intensifying. The virtual and real boundary we just entered, the power and will are intricate, indicating that it is no longer a single operation, but has begun to split."

  Aaron took a deep breath, and his mind kept replaying the scenes he experienced in the Soul Context Area. Those illusions and memory fragments came like nightmares, but also made him understand the Soul System more thoroughly.

  He whispered, "'In the past, the ancient gods opened the sky with the spirit of words and defined the boundaries with the laws of language... The power of the spirit of words was eventually shackled by humans, so seven layers of locks were set up to regulate the usurpation of the way...' What exactly does father want to tell us?"

  "The ancient gods..." Klaus pondered for a moment, "According to legend, the 'ancient gods' were the first to create the soul system and the origin of language and runes. But his ideas were misinterpreted by later generations and gradually became the cage-like system today."

  "Then this soul oracle we obtained is the fragment of the ancient gods' ideas?" Aaron suddenly realized, "Perhaps we can redefine this system through it."

  The two entered the database in the tower to find more documents about the "ancient gods" and "soul oracle". In the huge information flow, there are a lot of secrets that are deliberately blocked.

  "It's recorded here," Klaus pointed to an ancient document, "The 'seven lock layers' are actually designed to restrict the free spread of language. Each lock layer is composed of powerful language runes, forming layers of prisons."

  "This is consistent with the blockades and traps we encountered before." Aaron frowned, "My father's rebellion against the soul system obviously touched some taboos."

  "And the meaning of the soul oracle is not just as simple as removing the lock layer." Klaus continued, "It is more like a key that can return language to its purest state and remove the shackles on the soul."

  Aaron tightly grasped the glowing sheepskin, and the oath echoed in his heart: "No matter how great the cost, I will complete my father's unfinished mission."

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  At the same time, in the void crack deep inside the system, a hidden program node was activated, and a low mechanical sound slowly sounded:

  "External variable changes detected... Soul oracle fragments leaked out... Soul core is running abnormally..."

  The program fragments began to reorganize, forming a virtual life form that seemed to have autonomous consciousness, with countless flashing runes reflected in its eyes, full of indifference and scrutiny.

  "Human..." Its voice was cold and cunning, "Your resistance will only accelerate the coming of destruction."

  Aaron and Klaus did not notice the undercurrent, but were studying the Soul Oracle intensively. They began to try to use the power in the Oracle to crack the core language chain.

  "Aaron, I found that the "free language code" is hidden in the text structure of the Soul Oracle." Klaus said excitedly, "This is an ancient rune that can break the language binding and release the mind."

  Aaron's eyes lit up and began to recite the free language code silently. Every syllable he read out was like a key to unlock the soul shackles. The rune light spots in the void responded one after another and gathered into a powerful energy fluctuation.

  "Do you feel it?" Aaron sensed that the deep part of his soul seemed to be loosened by some shackles.

  "However, such power will also cause system alerts." Klaus looked solemn, "We must be careful, any excessive use may cause devastating backlash."

  The two decided to test in stages, first trying to crack the free language code on the soul barrier in the closed space in the laboratory and observe the feedback.

  The experiment began, the runes surging in the air were unpredictable, the structure of the barrier gradually loosened, and the cracks gradually expanded.

  "Success!" Aaron's eyes flashed with fanatic light, "This is true language freedom!"

  But suddenly, the space outside the laboratory vibrated more and more, accompanied by bursts of system alarms:

  "Warning! Core semantics are lost! The lock layer security is destroyed!"

  Klaus's face changed drastically: "We have triggered the system's self-protection mechanism!"

  At the same time, the virtual life form of the soul system accelerated its awakening:

  "Their temptation... I will use their greed to completely rewrite my fate..."

  A black crack opened from the void, like a bottomless abyss, swallowing the surrounding language runes.

  Aaron and Klaus responded urgently in the laboratory. They began to use the runes left by their father and the free language code combination to build a protective barrier.

  "Can't let the system collapse, it will be a disaster for the whole world!" Aaron said anxiously.

  The light and shadow intertwined, and the rune array flickered in the air, like the smoke of war on the battlefield.

  Klaus reached out and took out the torn oath page: "This is my father's last hope, we must protect it."

  After a long tug of war, the protective barrier was finally stabilized and the system alarm was gradually lifted.

  The two looked at each other tiredly, but their eyes were full of determination and fearlessness.

  "Our road has just begun." Aaron murmured, "The light of free language will not be swallowed by darkness."

  As night fell, the cracks in the soul system in the logic tower gradually spread, and all the chess pieces began to move.

  A new round of power struggle and truth exploration is quietly brewing in this world.

  Aaron and Klaus will continue to move forward, facing deeper secrets and more dangerous challenges.
