Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

With the support of the entire nation and the technical guidance provided by the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce, base stations covering major cities and towns were completed in just one month.

After another half month of intensive debugging and network connection, the "Ling Shu Network" was officially opened to all citizens of the Sun and Moon Empire.

With this, "Ling Shu" is now available online.

……

……

In a private seat of a teahouse facing the street in Mingdu,

At this point, a month had passed since the official full launch of "Ling Shu".

Inside the private booth, two figures dressed in unassuming black robes sat facing each other, leisurely sipping tea, their gazes occasionally sweeping across the bustling street below.

One of them was a middle-aged man with dark skin and a sinister look in his eyes; he was none other than Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo.

The other person was tall and, although his face was aged, his short silver-gray hair was neatly combed. He was vigorous and gave people a feeling of being old but still strong. This was none other than Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.

At one point, Long Xiaoyao put down his teacup, his aged yet dignified voice carrying a subtle, complex emotion:

"Zhang Peng, do you think the widespread adoption of the 'Spiritual Pivot Network' is ultimately a good thing or a bad thing for the Sun Moon Empire?"

Zhang Peng was silent for a moment, then replied in a muffled voice, "I suppose it's a good thing."

He wasn't lying when he said that.

Since the establishment of the "Spiritual Pivot Network," setting aside its other functions, the "Supervision System" built upon the network, along with the powerful law enforcement agency "Supervision Bureau" established with it, has swiftly and decisively apprehended thousands of long-hidden criminals and fugitive Soul Masters in a very short period of time.

Today, within the Sun Moon Empire, except for a few areas with special environments like the Demon Forest where network coverage is difficult, most places have achieved seamless coverage by the "Spiritual Pivot Network".

All citizens of the Empire within the coverage area were required to connect to the "Spiritual Pivot Network" and complete identity registration.

This has been written into the Imperial Law.

Chapter 202 The So-Called Garbage Cleanup Plan

The entire population is connected to the "Ling Shu Network," a census is conducted on all citizens of the empire, and precise individual identification is constructed on top of the "Ling Shu Network."

For ordinary people, such a measure may simply mean having another tool to make life more convenient.

But for those fugitives with criminal records on their hands, especially the universally hated evil spirit masters, this is undoubtedly a catastrophe.

Under the near-omnipresent surveillance of the "Ling Shu Network," their movements were almost impossible to hide.

The "Bureau of Oversight" enforcement teams will launch precise strikes based on system markers, and those who resist will be killed without exception.

Even those who manage to escape the first wave of pursuit will face second, third, and even continuous waves of elimination until the target is completely eliminated.

Within half a month of the "Ling Shu Network" going online, the security level in the empire's major cities had soared several levels, with almost all the scattered evil spirit masters and fugitives on the run being wiped out.

In addition, the "Ling Shu Network" has built-in real-time recording and feedback functions, and law enforcement officials themselves are also under the supervision of the "monitoring system."

Those who neglect their duties, shield or condone wrongdoing, or even collude with evil forces will also be flagged by the system.

This directly caused many officials who were originally arrogant and deceitful to become "well-behaved".

After all, the Control Bureau only recognizes system markers when handling cases and shows absolutely no leniency.

Behead first and report later, imperial authority has granted!

What? You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, go talk to our Director, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming!

In addition to this iron-fisted governance, the "Ling Shu Network" also provides various forms of assistance.

For example, in terms of daily life, it provides food to ordinary people who are struggling to make ends meet, and helps them survive. In terms of education, it provides children with early knowledge and even in terms of medical care, it scans the body in real time so that medical care can be sought in a timely manner if problems arise.

In conclusion, the biggest beneficiaries of the widespread adoption of the "Ling Shu Network" are undoubtedly the common people throughout the Sun Moon Empire.

The empire's cohesion has increased to an almost visible degree.

Long Xiaoyao listened in silence, then murmured, "Is that so? Well, it is indeed a good thing."

He picked up his teacup, then put it down again, letting out a barely audible sigh. "Unfortunately, it's not all good news."

He shook his head,

Indeed, the changes brought about by the "Ling Shu Network" are enormous, transforming the entire Sun Moon Empire as if it had been reborn.

Unfortunately, this seemingly impenetrable net has already been torn open with an invisible gap.

The Crown Prince of the current dynasty hired the Holy Spirit Cult to obtain the method for constructing the "Spiritual Pivot Network" ahead of time.

At first, they thought it was just a hiring operation, but who would have thought that after obtaining the items, Ye Xishui copied part of the data and then successfully cracked it.

Before the "Spiritual Pivot Network" was fully deployed and completely covered the entire Sun Moon Empire, Ye Xishui had a burst of inspiration, successfully cracking the "Spiritual Pivot Network," and based on this, reconstructing a "Disguise System."

Using this system, core members of the Holy Spirit Cult were able to conceal their unique aura and soul fluctuations as evil soul masters within the "Spiritual Pivot Network," temporarily evading the scanning of the "Surveillance System."

Although the other party seemed to have noticed and upgraded the "Ling Shu Network," making this disguise unsustainable and requiring periodic updates of a limited number of "keys" to maintain, it was still effective nonetheless.

For example, right now, the Holy Spirit Cult is using this "disguise system" to send secret invitations to all the remaining, fleeing evil spirit masters and spirit master criminals within the empire via the "Spiritual Pivot Network."

The destination was the Demon Forest, one of the few lawless areas within the Sun Moon Empire that was not yet covered by the "Spiritual Pivot Network" signal.

That is, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The irony lies here: the "Ling Shu Network's" crackdown not only failed to uncover the "Holy Spirit Cult" hidden behind it, but instead resembled a cruel selection and coercion, causing a large number of desperate, scattered evil spirit masters and other criminals to choose to seek refuge with this largest evil spirit master organization.

Now, deep within the Demon Forest, the Holy Spirit Cult has gathered more than twenty powerful individuals at the Title Douluo level!

Its strength is unprecedented.

Ye Xishui has even recently developed an "Evil Soul Master Search System" through the "Ling Shu Network," intending to use it to recruit evil soul masters from the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The Holy Spirit Church is now thriving.

Long Xiaoyao sighed inwardly. If it weren't for the astonishing strength and prestige of Kong Deming, who was stationed in Mingdu, Ye Xishui would probably have already been unable to restrain herself and had already dragged him and His Highness the Crown Prince into starting their plan to overthrow the Sun Moon Empire.

Now, they can only secretly accumulate strength. Once Ye Xishui's terrifying Death Tower is fully completed, the Sun Moon Empire will likely face another bloody storm.

After a long while, Long Xiaoyao gathered his chaotic thoughts and asked, "How long can your disguise system last?"

Zhang Peng sensed it for a moment and replied, "It can probably last for another day."

Long Xiaoyao nodded, stood up, and his black robe fluttered without wind: "Let's go. According to orders, we still need to bring back the newly found companions to the Holy Spirit Cult today."

Zhang Peng also stood up and respectfully replied, "Yes, Dragon Emperor."

Without another word, the two paid for their tea and quietly left the teahouse, merging into the bustling crowd below.

However, neither Long Xiaoyao nor Zhang Peng realized it themselves.

As they conversed and even now walked, a faint, almost imperceptible, pale silver glow occasionally flickered in the deepest recesses of their eyes, almost blending into the natural color of their pupils.

Like an illusion, yet it truly exists, undetectable to anyone.

……

……

Inside the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce laboratory

Kong Ming'an leaned back lazily on the comfortable sofa, and as usual, checked the progress bar of his program called "Garbage Cleanup Project" through the "Ling Shu Network."

Looking at the steadily rising progress bar after the data feedback, he nodded slightly, somewhat satisfied.

This is similar to how, when cleaning up scattered trash, you first gather it together with a broom, then collect it with a dustpan and finally dump it into the trash can.

Instead of spending time and effort clearing out the scattered evil spirit masters one by one, it would be more efficient to find a way to make them gather together on their own and then deal with them all at once.

With the help of the "Spiritual Pivot Network," although he can't do things like killing out of thin air, he still possesses some minor abilities.

For example, subtly influencing the subconscious of a certain Limit Douluo, giving her a flash of inspiration, and generating an idea in her mind to crack the "Spirit Pivot Network" and create a "Disguise System" and an "Evil Soul Master Search System" for contacting fellow evil soul masters.

Ultimately, he is a level nine soul master capable of creating level ten soul tools in the future. Facing the mere "Spiritual Pivot Network" is naturally no problem for him.

This makes sense.

Chapter 203 The Feasibility of Data-Driven Troop Production

Since he only adds one or two directions of thought to the other person's thinking process, the other person will only think it's the result of being in a good state of mind and having a burst of inspiration, without realizing that it's guided by external forces.

The entire process was seamless and flawless.

The only downside is that the "Order God Kingdom" is currently somewhat lacking in its ability to interfere with the minds of Limit Douluo like Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

If it could go a step further, and the "Divine Kingdom of Order" could grow to a point where it could cover the entire Douluo plane,

Therefore, he could implant an absolute obedience mindset into those evil spirit masters the moment they connected to the network, making them obediently line up to report to the Chamber of Commerce, and then quietly walk into the materials room, waiting for him to use them at any time.

Of course, things are pretty much the same now. In his eyes, the Holy Spirit Cult is now more like a large, automatically categorized and organized resource library.

The strength, characteristics, and location information of each material are clearly listed in his personal database through the "Ling Shu Network," in a neat and easy-to-understand format.

When he needs materials for his experiments, he can simply search for suitable materials remotely and then retrieve them directly, which is convenient and quick.

For the Holy Spirit Cult, which is currently thriving and growing in scale, the occasional inexplicable disappearance of one or two members is perfectly normal.

Evil Soul Masters are, after all, a world of survival of the fittest, where the strong prey on the weak, killing and devouring each other. It's perfectly normal for them to treat each other as food or cultivation material; no one would care how someone disappears.

If so, then just use the "Divine Kingdom of Order" to brainwash them. However, it's difficult for the "Divine Kingdom of Order" to completely brainwash Limit Douluos like Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

However, for other evil spirit masters of average strength, it was simple and there were no flaws.

After closing the light screen of the "Ling Shu Network" in front of him, Kong Ming'an casually raised his hand.

The next moment, a slender figure dressed in a black and white maid outfit, with blonde hair and red eyes, silently approached and then skillfully served a cup of freshly brewed tea at the perfect temperature.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, even displaying a high level of professionalism.

Kong Ming'an smiled, but Qiu'er remained expressionless. After serving the tea, she turned away without a word and returned to her usual surveillance post, continuing to stare intently at him.

Yes, it all stemmed from a simple remark he made earlier, which read:

"You can't even serve tea or water, what kind of maid are you? Why don't you just go back?"

Clearly, this is a provocation tactic.

However, Miss Ruishou was easily provoked.

In order to keep a close eye on him, Miss Ruishou didn't want to be driven away by him under any pretext. So, even though she was very unhappy and uncomfortable, Miss Ruishou still learned various maid-related skills.

By now, Miss Ruishou has become quite skilled at her job. Every day, without him having to remind her, she will put on her maid outfit and keep a close eye on him, staying by his side.

In the distance, Wang Dong'er watched this scene, her little hand supporting her cheek, her expression somewhat subtle and bewildered.

She was clearly the one who signed the indenture and was nominally the other party's personal assistant, right?

How come my best friend has not only become the other person's maid, but has also taken over all her chores, like serving tea and water? What's going on?

Is my good friend planning to take her place?

Wang Dong'er sat on a chair in the distance, tilting her head, completely baffled by the complicated relationships and strange developments.

Kong Ming'an's gaze remained calm, seemingly unconcerned with anything else, his attention focused on the three objects floating in front of him.

They are respectively the dark purple "Ring of Destruction" exuding an aura of destruction and the emerald green "Ring of Life" brimming with vitality.

And a smaller version of the Asura Divine Sword formed from the power of the "Asura Divine Ring".

At this moment, two spirit rings with opposing attributes stood on the left and right, respectively. Pure dark purple destructive energy and emerald green life energy, like two graceful ribbons, extended from the spirit rings and slowly intertwined in the air.

In their intertwining and entanglement, the two extremely opposing energies did not clash or annihilate violently. Instead, they gradually merged in a wondrous balance, giving rise to a pure and clean energy, seemingly devoid of any impurities—a pure white energy.

This pure white energy possesses a gentle and balanced aura, carrying a unique quality that seems capable of encompassing and transforming everything.

This is the preliminary result that Kong Ming'an has achieved after continuous exploration and experimentation over this period of time.

However, based on his observations and analysis, this is not the so-called "creative power," but rather a highly functional and unique type of universal energy.

It can contain energy of most attributes, has high stability, and is suitable for constructing barriers or serving as an energy-bearing base for certain precision components.

It can easily integrate into other energy systems, yet maintain its independence when needed, assisting in energy shaping and improving stability.

It has many uses, but none of them are top-notch; it's a transitional product that can do a little bit of everything, but isn't an expert in anything.

Kong Ming'an didn't give it any fancy name for the time being, and simply called it "white energy".

However, this does not mean it has no value.

With a slight thought, Kong Ming'an manipulated the white energy, causing it to stretch and deform, quickly shaping a simple yet clearly defined white doll about the size of a palm in his palm.

He separated an extremely subtle wisp of his own spiritual consciousness and infused it into the puppet.
