I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 510 Meme Generation

"No problem, no meme contamination confirmed."

After conducting a series of checks, the team leader finally breathed a sigh of relief. The seven information relays had been completed, and none of the team members who received or relayed the information showed any signs of contamination. Only then were all the audio and video materials finally allowed to be circulated publicly.

Upon entering the conference room, apart from a secretary who had been infected with the "recording meme" and could record all meeting content in a sleepwalking-like manner without the person's knowledge, everyone else had a solemn expression.

"Have you finished reviewing all the materials?"

"Yes, it's very detailed, especially the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions, which are much more detailed than our current folk versions. However, there are some minor discrepancies with specific astrological texts, which should be errors in the historical versions. Judging from the target's original files, he did not have the ability to independently compile an astrological system, so the claim of time travel can be basically confirmed."

The head of the archives auditing department spoke first. After he finished speaking, comparative data appeared on the projection screen, comparing the records of the Tang Dynasty's Observatory of Astronomy for more than 1,400 years with the list of star officials provided by the code name Ziwei, and highlighting the parts that differed.

Not everyone present understands astrology, but they can still see the differences highlighted in red.

After a quick glance, the head of the publicity department spoke:

"This is a good thing. There are subtle differences between our star officials and his star officials, and these differences can lead to information distortion. This can prevent the other party from cultivating memes through this process. Moreover, this is a conventional legend, and it is not our responsibility if errors occur during the dissemination process."

"That's right, but we still need to discuss the specific details. There are nearly a thousand star officials on this list, which includes almost all the planets that can be observed with the naked eye. We can't release them all at once, otherwise it will probably take a long time to stabilize them..." The head of the logistics department was making notes in his notebook, seemingly considering the cost of dissemination and the scope of the pilot program.

The propaganda chief immediately said, "I think their suggestion is good. We could make it into an animation, something that's half mythology and half story, set in the Heavenly Court, and make it a bit modern. For example, we could turn the Star Lords into job titles, and the protagonist's status shouldn't be too high. Imagine a newcomer, like a 'college student,' who becomes a Star Lord through a civil service exam. Because he indicated he'd accept any assignment, he gets assigned to the position of the 'Shit Star Lord.' On his first day at the military camp, he doesn't want to work and slacks off every day, causing logistical problems for the Star Lords in the mortal realm when they're fighting..."

Although this example may sound a bit vulgar and offensive, we're all meme enthusiasts, so we naturally know what kind of memes can go viral.

While many powerful memes rely on a profound core, such memes often require decades to mature, much like the saying, "At first listen, one does not understand the meaning of the song; upon second listen, one becomes a part of the song."

However, such long-term sedimentation is often extremely uncontrollable, and it is almost impossible to artificially create it.

In contrast, popular and vulgar jokes take shape quite quickly—as everyone knows, the easiest thing to spread among people is swear words, followed by dirty jokes.

The authorities are unlikely to actually make dirty jokes, but using some toilet humor is harmless.

A group of people who had been dealing with memes for half their lives quickly reached a consensus. The next step was to divide the plan. However, professional matters should be left to professionals. Even if it involved inviting gods, the script and filming could only be handed over to a specialized department. At most, sufficient funding and a good cast would be provided. After filming, it was not allowed to be broadcast but had to go through multiple reviews to confirm that it conformed to the laws of meme dissemination and had the potential to become a meme. Only then would it be allowed to be screened in a single city or county to ensure that even if memes were generated, it would not cause too much damage.

……

Just as the authorities were intensively studying Feng Xue's invocation technique, Feng Xue finally took over his second pharmacy, obtained an official business license, and began operating. Giving the invocation technique to the authorities wasn't solely to strengthen the metaphysical aspects of the Ziwei Cantong Qi; it was also a preparation for his ascension to the Heavenly Realm.

Based on the arguments presented by both Delis and Li Xing, he roughly understood that the Celestial Realm had a need for the faith of the lower realms. In other words, deepening the understanding of the "Star Official System" in this world would help gain favor from both the Celestial Court system and the Star Lord system, ensuring that this plane could be controlled by these two systems. In this way, it would be more difficult for those bald monks from the Blissful System to descend.

Secondly, the foundation of faith is the popular base. He promotes the Star Lord faction and is affiliated with the Ziwei Cantong Pact. Once he ascends, he will most likely complete the writing of a legend, as Delis said, and condense a divine position. At that time, these Star Lords' faith will become his initial capital.

Having traveled through so many years, Feng Xue knows how important money is. If he hadn't been a professional back then, understanding the various needs of time travel and making thorough preparations before setting off, how could he have paved the way with money and managed to accumulate his initial cultivation techniques?

Before figuring out the Celestial Realm's exact attitude, the more funds you have, the more room you have to maneuver. It's always better than ascending to the Celestial Realm penniless and then having to become a miner in the God Realm (a common trope in old-school online novels where Immortal Emperors have to mine after ascending to the God Realm).

The power of memes is immense. When Feng Xue started selling medicine and Liu Yunxi became a boss lady, an unseen influence began to spread. Meanwhile, the aftershocks of Li Xing taking away the temporary workers finally began to spread throughout the Elysium System...

……

In the council hall of the Pure Land sect, a group of bodhisattvas were discussing countermeasures.

Unlike other pantheons with different divine positions and versions, the divine positions in the Bliss pantheon are actually shared, strictly speaking. This is because, according to the doctrines of the Bliss pantheon, every Buddha and Bodhisattva is an existence with countless manifestations. Therefore, any avatar is essentially a partial existence of a Buddha or Bodhisattva at a specific timeline and spatial point.

This resulted in the extremely strict hierarchy of the Elysium system, and its extreme greed for the power of will—

Because they do not need to constantly create new divine positions like other pantheons, as long as they have the will and the resources of oxen and horses, they can easily produce divine positions based on the basic Three Buddhas of the Three Worlds and the derived system of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

Conversely, any action that prevents them from making money is like cutting flesh from their bodies.

"The Heavenly Court faction has indeed intervened. This person is named Li Xing, Zhang Wang's secretary, and he is currently donning the armor of Venus."

Guanyin, in her incarnation, held a lotus platform, and within a halo of light, the scene of Li Xing and Feng Xue battling her incarnation played out repeatedly.

Ksitigarbha looked at the scene in the picture and frowned, saying:

"First he caused trouble in the underworld, then he was granted amnesty by Taibai, and he also possesses the power of a vow to slay dragons... Do you think this so-called Ziwei Emperor might just be a facade?"
