Establishing a spiritual network system requires three key elements, none of which can be omitted.

Firstly, a sufficient population is necessary. A large enough population ensures a strong enough weak mental field between living beings, and Chen Hong's mental network system is currently built upon this foundation. This will only be possible once Chen Hong's technology level improves and he establishes a long-range mental projection matrix, enabling him to provide mental network services to sparsely populated remote areas. Regarding population, Chen Hong doesn't need to worry about Martial Soul City. It's a megacity with a population of over one million, and if it radiates outwards, it could even reach three million. Of course, this differs somewhat from a newer megacity like Soto City, which boasts over five million people in its surrounding area.

Secondly, a stable data processing hub—the root server—is needed: Bone Spirits. The foundation of the spiritual network system is the ethereal spiritual power, and Bone Spirits are a special kind of spiritual life form resembling a spirit body enveloped in soul bones. They possess consciousness and can act, but lack a physical body. Among the things Chen Hong has encountered so far, Bone Spirits best embody stability and precision. Such special spiritual life forms are far more efficient at handling complex, tedious, and repetitive tasks than lazy Soul Masters.

Thirdly, one needs the ability to observe the turbulent flow of faith. Okay, we can skip this point. Chen Hong's mental network system is almost a kind of alternative "agreed-upon agreement." If netizens disagree, they can't use the "agreement," so they have to actively hand over their spiritual faith. It would be best to have the power to perceive the turbulent flow of faith, but it's not impossible to use it if you don't. Because the most important thing is the second step, which is to refine the turbulent flow of faith.

In general, only two types of people can refine the turbulent flow of faith. One is the 'New God,' to whom the turbulent flow of faith will automatically converge and be absorbed. The other is the 'Divine Priest,' who, as the human representative of the gods, enjoys some of the privileges of the gods in the human world, one of which is guiding faith and forging a golden body of faith for the gods.

Chen Hong belongs to the former category, while Qian Daoliu is the most suitable candidate for the latter.

However, to refine the turbulent flow of faith, a crucial element is needed: Chen Hong's [Overclocking] divine rune. [Overclocking] is the true reason for the generation of the spiritual essence; otherwise, under the influence of various faith emotions, the final extract of the turbulent flow of faith would be the power of faith, not the spiritual essence.

The saying "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight" clearly reflects the relationship between the power of faith and faith in God.

At least in Chen Hong's view, the power of faith is too exclusive and cannot be freely circulated; it's clearly not a primitive form of energy. Only energy like that in the spiritual essence, which can be used by all species, is the primitive energy that Chen Hong needs.

Otherwise, if Qian Daoliu always refines some faith power, but Chen Hong and the others can't use it, and even Qian Daoliu himself can only use it as a consumable and can't absorb it, then the faith power will not be of any benefit to anyone.

The power of faith is exclusive to those who believe in a god. Even priests can only use it indirectly, not absorb it.

In conclusion, Qian Daoliu is an excellent player for "mining" (expanding resources), at least in Chen Hong's opinion.

However, this act of opening a "branch mine" in the home of the angel god is somewhat reminiscent of a tauren. After all, it is tantamount to stealing from one's own kin. Perhaps even the god himself never imagined that his own exclusive power of faith would one day be taken by his own priests to be refined into spiritual essence. This means that the power of faith that should have been offered to the god was suddenly intercepted by his own priests, refined into spiritual essence, and then consumed.

Therefore, persuading Qian Daoliu to become a "little mouse that steals lamp oil" seemed like a very difficult task to Chen Hong.

After all, the Angel God is different from other gods. He is Qian Daoliu's ancestor. Qian Daoliu's feelings for the Angel God are far beyond what ordinary priests and gods can have.

"In that case, rather than risking being beaten up by Senior Qian Daoliu, it would be better to negotiate directly with the person involved." On the way back to Soto City with Qian Daoliu, Chen Hong pondered silently.

"Senior, when the time is right, shall we go and pay our respects to the Angel God?" When Qian Daoliu placed Chen Hong in Soto City and was about to stop by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to check on the growth of the immortal herbs, Chen Hong suddenly said, "Let's start from when Senior condenses the Soul Power Crystal Core, shall we? By then, Senior should have already reached the Intent Realm in the Soul Environment Realm."

Qian Daoliu glanced back at Chen Hong with some curiosity, wondering why Chen Hong had suddenly brought this up. However, he nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking too. I'll let you know when the time comes."

After saying this, Qian Daoliu's body dispersed into a blur of light and shadow and vanished instantly.

Seeing this, Chen Hong thought to himself, "Looks like I'll have to find some time again to open-source the overclocking runes and make the overclocking refining device better."

Qian Daoliu's preparations were to demonstrate his growth to the Angel God. However, Chen Hong's preparations were aimed at directly persuading the Angel God to change his belief system. Therefore, Chen Hong needed to prepare everything required for the Martial Soul Network System in advance, especially the Overclocking Refiner, a capability originally unique to Chen Hong.

"Hmm, the Soto network is a bit unstable, Blaze. Stop playing around and go help out the pink-haired spider."

After sorting out the arrangements for Qian Daoliu and his future, Chen Hong connected his mental energy to the Soto Mental Network. He then discovered that the network was abnormally laggy and the response speed was extremely slow. So he quickly released the big-headed doll from his backpack and let it return to the Soto Mental Network.

Huang, the big-headed doll, flew out of Chen Hong's backpack. Its lifeless eyes silently surveyed its surroundings, then its figure suddenly paused a few times before disappearing instantly.

【煌】's inherent ability: Castling.

However, within the Soto Network, in this home turf, [Huang] has already been able to establish virtual mental coordinates, thereby enabling him to achieve the effect of fixed-point travel.

From a spiritual perspective, it is easy to see that the chaotic spiritual net that shrouded Soto City instantly began to become orderly.

"I heard that Tang San appeared in the Far Western Wilderness. The Killing City? I now suspect that he is the protagonist's character and must have been using cheat codes again. No way, I want to use cheat codes too."
