Boom——

  The nine pillars of the Mother Tongue Abyss slowly collapsed after the projection of the will of the first god dissipated, as if the end of an era quietly kicked off in the depths of the valley.

  Aaron stood in the center of the dissipated light, the imprint on his forehead still burning, and the way he perceived the world quietly changed. He could hear the whispers in the wind, feel the fluctuations of semantics on the stone wall, and even see the words that Klaus had not spoken out outline hazy runes around him.

  "... Your soul is being reconstructed." Klaus stared at him, his tone more solemn than ever, "What you have now is no longer the 'language authority' granted by the soul system, but... a language source ability independent of the system."

  Aaron lowered his head, his eyes deep, "I can feel the soul system's resistance to me... and I can also hear its fear."

  "Fear?" Klaus frowned.

  "Yes." Aaron nodded slowly, "It began to mark me as an 'entropy factor'."

  Klaus took a breath and quickly pulled out a prismatic recording crystal from his arms, sealing everything that had just happened in it: "This is much more serious than we expected. You are now not only marked as a rebel by the system, but also defined as a potential structural destroyer."

  "Entropy factor" - this is the highest level mark of the soul system for a certain type of extremely dangerous existence, meaning that it has the ability to break the basic semantic stability of the system.

  Aaron smiled bitterly: "Then we must act faster, otherwise... it will not hesitate again."

  Klaus looked at the God's Word Altar behind him, and a crack suddenly appeared on the stone tablet with the remaining soul of the ancient god. It seemed that there was a path to the deeper core of the system.

  "We have to leave here," Klaus quickly took out the soul shielding talisman, "The system has begun to lock and purify this area, and it will no longer hide."

  Aaron nodded, and the two quickly left the forbidden valley. A few minutes after they left, a silent light bloomed from the sky above the valley, as if a huge eye opened from the void, overlooking the entire forgotten ruins.

  ---

  The journey back to the Logic Tower was unusually silent.

  Aaron tried to express his thoughts in the "new language", and every time he intended to speak, he was accompanied by a "retranslation" in his soul again and again - as if the original language fragments were forged by him personally, each syllable was independent, original, and did not rely on any external system. He gradually got used to this feeling of "God's creation" in constructing language, and at the same time understood why the system regarded "free language" as heresy.

  Once the unconstrained words were widely spread, the order of the system would collapse.

  "If this ability can be spread..." he murmured.

  "No." Klaus interrupted him, "At least not now. The language prototype you mastered is too unstable. Any consciousness that tries to imitate it may fall into semantic collapse syndrome."

  "Semantic collapse syndrome?"

  "It is a kind of consciousness collapse caused by the loss of control of language structure. Symptoms include personality tearing, multiple semantic reorganization, memory stripping... The most serious will cause the soul to lose control and trigger system cleansing."

  Aaron was silent.

  He knew Klaus was right. He awakened too early, and the cognition of this world was too late.

  ---

  After returning to the logic tower, Klaus placed Aaron in an independent space that shielded soul fluctuations, and began to analyze the changes brought about by the seal of the first god.

  At the same time, the system channel of the entire logic tower fell into a strange silence.

  The previously busy rune message flow was suddenly interrupted, and the system main control core closed a large number of low-authority sub-modules in a short period of time.

  [System prompt: S-level cleanup mission initiated]

  [Target area: Silent Valley in the southern section of the Logic Tower]

  [Target code: Entropy Solver-Alpha-01]

  "...It has started to track you." Klaus handed over a soul network interception report with a gloomy face.

  Aaron took a look, "Alpha-01? Am I the first one?"

  "No, you are just the first person to be officially defined as an 'entropy solver'."

  Aaron looked at the report in his hand, but there was a strange look in his eyes. He touched the forehead mark with his fingertips and suddenly whispered:

  "Maybe... I can use it to counter the system."

  "Are you crazy?" Klaus exclaimed, "You are now in a state where you can only hide and not be interfered with by the system. If you actively attack its structural system, it is equivalent to destroying your own defense network!"

  "But if I don't take the initiative to counter, it will locate me one day and cleanse me... not to mention those ordinary people who want to move towards language freedom."

  Aaron stood up and looked to the northwest - the symbol of the main core of the soul system: the central logic light tower.

  "I will go there." He said in a deep voice, "I want to say the first free sentence in front of it."

  ---

  Night fell and the city was silent.

  In an abandoned old language workshop, Aaron launched the first semantic construction experiment. He no longer relied on any logical symbol group given by the system, but used the most primitive morphemes to build vocabulary and constructed semantic structures with the mental images left by the gods.

  He wrote down the first phrase:

  [I am the name, the words of my name do not belong to the system]

  Instantly, the soul paper with the phrase on it vibrated violently, visible anti-speech waves appeared in the air, and a black crack emerged from the void, connecting to an unknown data abyss somewhere.

  The next moment, the system alarm appeared-

  [Warning: Illegal language node generation]

  [Clearing authority: S-level lock, dispatch consciousness cleaner]

  Aaron looked up and saw the huge black shadow appearing in the crack. It was a "consciousness cleaner" wearing a gray-gold judgment robe, the highest level of law enforcement agent in the system-

  [Execution: Entropy solver annihilation]

  "Here it comes." Aaron murmured, but there was no fear in his tone, but a long-lost fighting spirit.

  He raised his hand and whispered the second sentence of free language:

  [My words, break the obsession. 】

  At that moment, the soul vibrated like a bell, and the entire workshop became the core of a language storm, as if the old times were revived again, and the first head-on collision between the system and free language was unveiled.
