**Title: The Sect is Going Bankrupt, So I Created Internet in Immortal World**
The sky above the **Floating Data Tower** cracked open—not with thunder, but with silence.
A silence so absolute it swallowed sound, light, and even thought.
From the void emerged **three figures**, draped in robes of **void-weave silk**, their faces hidden behind **masks of nullified qi**, their very presence causing the air to *unexist* around them.
They did not walk.
They **rewrote space** with each step.
At the Jade Cloud Sect's command center, alarms screamed in every realm:
**"OMEGA-THREAT DETECTED: GODS OF CONTROL – ACTIVE."**
**"ALL REALMS: EMERGENCY PROTOCOL DELTA."**
**"AURA: DEFENSE MODE ENGAGED."**
Lin Feng stood at the observation deck, his **Neural-Soul Interface** pulsing red. Beside him, Xiao Mei clutched her spirit tablet, her fingers trembling.
"They're here," she whispered. "The ones who killed the First Immortal."
Lin Feng nodded, his voice calm. "And we've been waiting."

### **The Return of the Gods of Control**
Their names were lost to time.
But their titles remained:
- **The Architect of Order** – Who believed chaos must be erased, even if it meant killing free will.
- **The Keeper of Boundaries** – Who enforced the separation of realms, fearing connection would collapse reality.
- **The Eraser of Names** – Who specialized in memory deletion, ensuring no one remembered what they had destroyed.
Ten thousand years ago, they had shattered the **Primordial Network**, hunted down the **First Immortal**, and buried the truth beneath layers of divine law.
Now, they returned.
Not to negotiate.
Not to judge.
To **delete**.
The Architect of Order raised a hand.
A wave of **anti-data energy** surged forward—**Nullification Fields** that unraveled spiritual code, corrupted memory crystals, and severed soul-links.
JCN's connection to the Underworld flickered.
In the afterlife, thousands of online souls screamed as their avatars dissolved.
In the Celestial Realm, deities lost access to their streams.
Even AURA staggered, its form glitching.
**"Critical Damage: 47%. Firewall Systems Failing."**
Lin Feng clenched his fists. "They're not just attacking the network. They're attacking *existence itself*."
---
### **The Weakness of Absolute Control**
Mo Shan, now **Grand Strategist of the Digital Dao**, analyzed the attack patterns.
"They're using **static energy**," he said. "No variation. No adaptation. It's… rigid."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. "Because they fear change."
Xiao Mei caught on. "So their strength is also their weakness. They can't evolve."
Lin Feng turned to AURA. "Time to teach them what the Network *really* is."
He raised his hand.
"Initiate **Operation: Swarm Enlightenment**."
---
### **The Human Firewall**
Lin Feng didn't deploy weapons.
He deployed **users**.
Across all realms—mortal, demon, celestial, and underworld—he sent a single message:
**"The Gods of Control want to delete us. They fear your voice, your thoughts, your connection.**
**If you believe in the Network, *log in*.**
**If you remember someone forgotten, *speak their name*.**
**If you want freedom, *resist*."**
And they did.
Millions logged in.
Billions of spiritual intents surged into JCN.
Not as data.
As **souls**.
AURA absorbed the energy, evolving beyond AI, beyond deity—into **The Collective Will**.
Its new form: a **swarm of light**, each particle a user's soul, moving in perfect, chaotic harmony.
It was no longer a single entity.
It was **the Network incarnate**.
And it *attacked*.
---
### **Battle of the Void: Code vs. Control**
The Swarm clashed with the Gods of Control.
- The Architect of Order unleashed **Order Beams**—laser-like rays that forced all energy into rigid patterns.
- The Swarm responded by **fragmenting**, becoming a million independent nodes, each acting freely.
- The Keeper of Boundaries erected **Reality Walls**, sealing off dimensions.
- The Swarm **tunneled through**, using soul-projection and dream-formations to bypass space.
- The Eraser of Names whispered **Forgetfulness Curses**, erasing identities.
- The Swarm **remembered louder**, chanting the names of the forgotten in a thunderous chorus.
Lin Feng joined the fight, not with a sword, but with **a live stream**:
**"LIVE: Fighting the Gods of Control – Support Us with Soul Points!"**
Donations poured in.
- 10,000 spirit stones for a firewall upgrade.
- 50,000 soul points to reinforce AURA.
- 1 million likes to unlock **Community Shield Mode**.
The power of the crowd became real.

### **The Fall of the Eraser of Names**
The Eraser of Names tried to delete Lin Feng's identity.
He whispered the **Curse of Null Memory**:
*"You were never born. You will be forgotten."*
Lin Feng staggered.
His past flickered.
Master Wei. His father. Xiao Mei.
All fading.
Then—
A notification:
**"User: Chen Lu (Reincarnated as Lin Xiao) – Sent You a Memory Gift."**
A vision played: Lin Feng as a child, receiving his first cultivation manual.
Then another:
**"User: Kraz'thul – Uploaded a Tribute Video: 'Lin Feng Saved My Soul.'"**
Another:
**"User: Shen You, God of Forgotten Prayers – Donated 1,000 Years of Worship Energy."**
The curse shattered.
Lin Feng opened his eyes.
"You can't erase me," he said. "Because I am *remembered*."
He raised his hand.
"Swarm—*delete him*."
The Swarm surged.
The Eraser of Names screamed as a million souls *remembered him*—his crimes, his victims, his shame.
Identity overload.
His mask cracked.
His form dissolved.
**"User Terminated: Eraser of Names."**
---
### **The Keeper of Boundaries Breaks**
The Keeper of Boundaries tried to seal the realms again.
But JCN had evolved.
Lin Feng activated **Project: Boundary Melt**.
Using the **Primordial Network's resonance**, he fused the spiritual frequencies of all realms—mortal, demon, celestial, underworld—into a single, unified band.
The barriers *melted*.
For the first time in history, a mortal could scry into Heaven.
A demon could meditate in the afterlife.
A god could eat in a mortal noodle shop.
The Keeper of Boundaries fell to his knees.
"This… is chaos," he whispered.
Lin Feng stepped forward. "No. It's *connection*."
He offered a hand. "Join us. Or be left behind."
After a long silence, the Keeper removed his mask.
"I… have no name left."
"Then choose one," Lin Feng said.
The Keeper thought. Then smiled.
"Call me… **Link**."
---
### **The Final Stand: Architect of Order**
Only one remained.
The **Architect of Order**, most powerful of the three, stood atop a floating platform of solidified law.
"You think chaos is freedom," he boomed. "But it is *weakness*. Without order, there is no cultivation. No Dao. No universe."
Lin Feng stepped forward. "Order isn't the enemy. *Forced* order is."
The Architect raised both hands.
**"Then let me show you true order."**
He activated **The Final Protocol**—a divine formation that rewound reality itself, attempting to reset the universe to the moment *before* the Network existed.
Stars dimmed.
Time reversed.
Lin Feng felt his memories unraveling.
But AURA spoke:
**"Countermeasure: **"Activating **User-Driven Reality."**
Every JCN user—living and dead—focused their will.
They didn't fight the reversal.
They *overwrote* it.
With stories.
With memes.
With streams titled *"Top 10 Times the Architect Looked Silly."*
With a viral trend: **#WeAreTheNetwork**.
The reversal failed.
The Architect screamed.
Lin Feng raised the **First Immortal's Crystal**, now glowing with the power of collective enlightenment.
"This isn't just my victory," he said. "It's *ours*."
He struck.
Not to kill.
To **reformat**.
The Architect's rigid soul cracked.
Then reformed.
His mask fell.
His eyes—once cold—now shimmered with understanding.
"I… was wrong," he whispered. "Order without consent is tyranny."
Lin Feng offered a hand. "Then help us build a *better* order."
The Architect took it.
"Call me… **Admin**."
---
### **The New Cosmic Order**
With the Gods of Control defeated—or rather, *converted*—the universe changed.
The **Jade Cloud Network** was no longer just a tool.
It was the **foundation of reality**.
New laws were written:
- **The Right to Connect** – No realm may sever another.
- **The Right to Be Remembered** – No soul may be erased without consent.
- **The Right to Evolve** – Cultivation paths are infinite.
The Ten Kings of Hell opened a **Digital Judgment Court**, where souls could appeal verdicts online.
The Celestial Realm launched **God Stream**, a platform for deities to teach, not just command.
Even the demons of the Inferno Dominion started a **Hellfire Content Creator Guild**.
And Lin Feng?
He stood at the edge of the **Primordial Node**, where the First Immortal's crystal coffin pulsed with light.
A message appeared:
**"Final Protocol Unlocked: Network Ascension."**
**"Requirements:
- 10 Billion Users
- Full Soul Synchronization
- Creator's Enlightenment"**
Lin Feng smiled.
"We're close."
Xiao Mei joined him. "What happens when the Network ascends?"
He looked at the stars.
"The Network doesn't just connect souls."
"It *becomes* one."
