"Be thankful, at least you still have a second option."
Amidst the demon's whispers, the fading will received the "voice."
"Matter or will, choose one."

When she came to her senses, Ilya found herself in this familiar place, but not the one she knew from her human days; rather, it was a memory she had formed from her time as a Heroic Spirit.
"...Valhalla."
After hesitating for a moment, she took a step forward. Whatever the outcome, she had the responsibility to accept it. However, to her surprise, she found nothing unusual after entering the Hall of Heroes. There was neither the oppressive feeling of the "Root Will" watching over her, nor the restraint she felt when she was controlled by "him". If it weren't for the fact that she still had the characteristics of a Heroic Spirit, she would have doubted whether she had become an ordinary person.
Just as Ilya was feeling confused about the situation, a series of codes consisting of 0s and 1s suddenly appeared above the vast Hall of Heroes. They then intertwined and merged with this space, which was theoretically free from any external interference, forming a line of extremely familiar text in her bewildered vision.
Main Quest: Root Fusion (Completed)

People set "goals" and then act to achieve them. What this leads to is called a "process." The outcome is nothing more than "success" or "failure." Under this understanding, Lin Yi should be considered successful.

Origin of the world.
I closed my eyes and returned to this eternal emptiness, and the voice that had been interrupted in my mind rang out again.
[574th gene simulation repair failed. Restart?]
The last remaining hope was extinguished, but in conclusion, there was nothing to feel pain about. If everything requires a price to be paid, then this level is already quite good. At least compared to the source of fire that has become this "right hand" and the Immortal Execution Sword floating beside him, being able to stand here at all signifies a "victory".
"How does the 'fragment' resolution fare during the interrupted simulation?"
[Code name: Spark, resolution level 85.74%]
[Code name: Zhuxian, analysis level 54.25%]
Lin Yi was taken aback by this answer: "If I remember correctly, the analysis of the 'fragments' of the Zhuxian Sword should have started earlier than the analysis of the fire seed. Why is the analysis progress lower?"
This "fragment" contains a large amount of messy information, and the parsing process requires a lot of computation to remove the residual information.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yi sighed helplessly: "Let's fuse the 'fragments' of the fire seed first. How long is it expected to take?"
Approximately 17000 hours
Although I already knew this would be the outcome when I learned about the time required to fuse the "fragments" of the Immortal Execution Sword, I still couldn't help but feel speechless when I suddenly heard this number.
Fortunately, compared to the hundreds of years that often occur, two years is already acceptable. Moreover, even if one wanted to continue delaying the fusion of these acquired "fragment" data, this body, which is already nearing its limit, could not allow it...
Taking a deep breath: "During this period, slow down the expansion and invasion speed of the Main God Space, prioritize the completion of the 'Dyson Sphere Project' and the 'Death Star Project' in the Fire Seed World, and keep the rest unchanged."
【Command confirmation】
"So……"
Thinking back to see if there were any oversights, he checked three times before slowly saying, "Let's begin."
[Code name: Spark, fragmented information extraction... 10%... 50%... 100%, information extraction complete]
[Loading information... 'Main God' fusion process initiated]
……
At the end of a series of mechanical sounds, a faint but undeniably present number gradually emerges in the sedimented horizon.
[Jump efficiency: 0.001%]
----------segmentation----------
There are two ways to repair something that is damaged. The first is to rebuild it from scratch, and the second is to find the damaged pieces and piece it back together. But no matter which method you use, the final result will never be the same thing that was originally there.
Considering that he had no "conditions" to choose the first option, Lin Yi chose the second option for the "fragment" residing in his consciousness.
Both the Zhuxian Sword and the Fire Source were initially just ordinary substances that appeared in a world. However, they gained immense power far exceeding the existence of that world simply because of the "fragments" they were attached to. Although the methods they chose to use this power were different, their ultimate goal was to repair the "fragments" themselves.
Whether it's reshaping or repairing, the "fragments" require an enormous amount of energy and resources in the process. These energy and resources cannot be provided by a single world. Therefore, they choose to expand and invade, using violence to obtain the materials and energy needed for the repair of the "fragments." At the same time, they may also be thinking of discovering new "fragments" in the process of invasion. However, in the process of conflict, they turn from "hunters" into "prey" and become the ones being merged.
Back when he shattered the internal will of the Zhuxian Sword, Lin Yi had seized a "fragment" along with the sword. However, considering that there was another "fragment"—the Fire Source—lurking in the shadows, and that the fusion process would take an extremely long time, he temporarily gave up on it.
With the victory in the war against the second "fragment" of the spark source, the pressing issue was resolved. Originally intending to initiate the fusion directly, Lin Yi noticed the tentacles extending from the source in the magical world. He then followed the trail and eliminated them all at once to avoid future troubles.
However, Lin Yi still had reservations before deciding to initiate the fusion.
Just like creating a brand new "God Space" by hand, the fusion of fragments is not something that can be easily accomplished, like piecing together broken glass. In fact, Lin Yi has not even truly come into contact with the "fragments" themselves yet. It's either through the Immortal Execution Sword, the Fire Source, or even by directly residing in his mind... Without even being able to make contact, trying to piece them together on a material level is a complete pipe dream. Therefore, this fusion process can only be completely left to the God to control.
During this period of fusion, the main god will gather most of its computing power back into the "fragment," thereby reducing its control and mastery over the outside world to a minimum, much like the state it was in when it first resided in Lin Yi's body.
It is obvious that in this state, the main god is not only unable to continue to control the external expansion of the main god space, but also unable to support Lin Yi's battle as an auxiliary means. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the external problems before the fusion begins.
Now that all external issues have been resolved, the Supreme God can officially begin this "significant" moment.
……
"Lord God?"
【…】
"Retrieve the data status of the reincarnators."
【…】
"Activate overload mode".
【…】
The long-lost tranquility made Lin Yi, who had long been accustomed to this "outsider," feel deeply uncomfortable. However, behind this discomfort, a certain emotion that he had almost forgotten welled up.
"Freedom, huh?"
With a soft chuckle, Lin Yi pulled down his hood until it completely covered his eyes before taking a step forward.
Some things can only be done when they exist, like expansion or battle; while others can only be done when they don't exist, such as—
"Is this world truly my 'origin'?"
Soul Leap: Chapter 321 Non-Origin
Looking back on her life as an "ordinary person," Lin Yi confirmed that there was nothing strange or bizarre about it.
Discovered as an orphan, he was adopted by a ruthless facility and forced to grow up in that environment—until he obtained a "fragment," and as the host of the "fragment," he began the process of establishing the God Space.
During this process, Lin Yi also doubted the authenticity of his decision to establish the "Main God Space." Was it based on his own ideas or under the influence of the "fragments"? But in conclusion, there was no difference. After all, what he needed at that time was a way: a way to break free from being changed by the world, or even to change the world in reverse.
Clearly, an organization capable of easily manipulating or even destroying the world order from behind the scenes—the "Main God Space"—perfectly met Lin Yi's needs at the time, so he readily accepted the decision to establish the Main God Space.
If things had continued as they were, Lin Yi would never have had such doubts. However, the words spoken by the consciousness of the Immortal Execution Sword before its destruction, which came from the spiritual world, caught Lin Yi's attention.
[The Origin World... If this world truly is Fellow Daoist Lin's origin, why is he still unresponsive despite the spiritual energy intruding upon it? And if this world is not Fellow Daoist Lin's origin world, then where is Fellow Daoist Lin's true 'origin'?]
Of course, Lin Yi also considered the possibility that the Zhuxian Sword was just making a lie to distract him at the time. However, when it came to the "abnormal situations" that had been happening for a long time, it seemed quite abnormal.
Leaving aside the experiences before encountering the main god, let's just look at the few times he returned to this world after encountering the main god...
The first time he encountered a robbery, Lin Yi, who had not yet adjusted his mindset, responded with the same drastic measure—killing them.
The second time, the murder case, which should have been treated as an unsolved case, was brought up again, and even without any clues, the investigation was carried out directly in his vicinity, so that Lin Yi had to transform into a "martial arts master" to create a bigger news story in order to divert public attention.
The third time was even more direct. The cultivators who were supposed to ascend to the Immortal Realm entered this world without any hindrance, and coincidentally appeared right in front of him.
It's important to understand that the entire city in that world was affected by the spiritual energy spread from the Five Elemental Pearls, yet it still managed to hit that one in a million chance, not to mention the subsequent great battle with the Immortal Execution Sword.
……
By connecting these seemingly unrelated events, Lin Yi arrived at a conclusion that was both unexpected and yet predictable.
—The world is rejecting him.
Just as those reincarnators who first entered the Parasite World were rejected and attacked by the world's will, in this world where active energy is negligible and the world's will cannot manifest in any concrete way, this world itself is constantly "rejecting" him: in a way that seems "natural" and "full of coincidences".
Ultimately, what is the premise of this "rejection"?
"...does not belong to this world."
Lingering above this city filled with colorful neon lights, the slightly chilly night wind tries to invade and steal away the only trace of warmth in this space, but is urgently forced to leave by a greater force.
Raising his hand, feeling the unfamiliar energy passing through his fingertips, he couldn't help but smile: "So, this isn't my 'origin' at all?"
[If this world is not Fellow Daoist Lin's original world, then where is Fellow Daoist Lin's true 'origin'?]
"Where is it...? Even if we knew, what difference would it make?"
The five fingers, spread out, suddenly closed, creating a circular vacuum field with the immense air pressure bursting from the palm. The sonic boom that broke through the wind carried to the surroundings. Pedestrians below who noticed the sound quickened their pace, thinking about the clothes drying on their balconies at home.
He lowered his hand again, facing a world that was neither his starting point nor his home: "At least, I rule this place."
----------segmentation----------
Originating in the world, country C, city CZ.
[...After unified research and decision, our country has abandoned all data related to the development and storage of nuclear weapons, and dismantled the current stockpile of 15,000 nuclear warheads, making a decisive contribution to promoting world denuclearization...]
[...Our country will cut 50% of its military spending to improve people's livelihoods and develop new technologies, and will continue to reduce military spending by 10% annually over the next ten years...]
[...In the future, the world will surely be a peaceful world!]
The series of unprecedented decisions from Country C shocked the world almost the day they were made. Regardless of how countries outside, whether friendly or hostile, responded to these decisions, even the people within the country found them unacceptable.
"Giving up nuclear weapons is tantamount to giving up life!"
"If we cut military spending, how will we fight back when enemies come to our doorstep?!"
"Isn't anyone opposed to such a major decision?"
……
Just as the chaos caused by this major news was about to escalate and involve more people, another bombshell was dropped.
Thanks to the arduous efforts of numerous scientists and the strong support of enthusiastic individuals, my country has made decisive progress in the field of "world migration." The first "teleportation gate" in human history will be completed on Mount Everest, at which point humanity will directly bypass interstellar migration and enter the era of world migration!
It must be said that the timing of releasing this news was extremely appropriate. People who were just quite dissatisfied with the news of abandoning nuclear weapons and cutting military spending were immediately attracted to this "portal". After all, compared to things at the national level that they cannot access, things that actually affect their lives are more likely to attract people's attention.
Although some questions that didn't conform to the "mainstream" emerged amidst these excited discussions, such as "What the hell is the World Transfer Field?", "Has our country ever established such a project?", and "Who are the enthusiasts?", they were quickly drowned out by the public's enthusiasm.
In an instant, both "portal" and "world transfer" topped the list of the world's most talked-about words.
It was during this lull that Lin Yi, who had just moved the laboratory to Mount Everest, received a request from his "collaborator".
"...reactionary forces?"
Soul Leap: Chapter 322 The New "Collaborator"
Because of the unique nature of the Origin World, which serves as the endpoint of "reverse positioning," Lin Yi dared not easily allow other reincarnators from the Main God Space to enter rashly. With the fusion of the Main God beginning, Lin Yi had to do everything personally. When requests from "collaborators" reached him, it seemed that no one could be found to replace him.
