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

"This is the 'Spiritual Pivot Protocol'."

Hyotei was confused, so Kongming patiently explained to her that this was a wonderful task he had spent two whole months preparing:

"First of all, this is the final product of an inspiration I had a few months ago—'Ling Shu'."

Kong Ming'an pointed to the silver spirit ring beside him.

"At its core, it is an information processing hub that I built by using fragments of my naturally dissipated soul as seeds and my first soul ring, which comes from the Thorn Dragon and carries spatial elements, as the host."

As is well known, a Soul Master's Soul Rings possess plasticity and editability.

What he did was transform the spirit ring from a "launcher" that could only activate fixed spirit skill modules to unleash spirit skills into a "computing platform" with a complex "interface" capable of receiving, storing, and processing massive amounts of information.

Kong Ming'an referred to this as "Ling Shu".

The core function of this soul ring, named "Ling Shu," is not to assist in thinking, but to serve as the underlying architecture to provide services for all information processing needs.

"I constructed a large number of independent information processing threads within the 'Spiritual Pivot,' or more accurately, they could be called 'Soul Threads.'"

"Each thread connects to and drives a 'soul computing unit' through 'spiritual sharing,' and each 'soul computing unit' provides me with computing power support."

His gaze fell upon the dark purple banner of ten thousand souls beside him.

The so-called "soul computing power units" are actually the more than three hundred evil soul masters' souls within the Myriad Soul Banner, which he specially purified, completely erasing their independent consciousness and retaining only the most basic logical calculation abilities.

He personally modified them, turning them into "Soul Computing Units," which became the cornerstone of the "Spiritual Pivot Network."

"As for the 'Ling Shu Network' you just joined, it's a user interface built around 'spiritual sharing' and 'spiritual detection' technologies, and it has many functions."

With a thought, Kong Ming'an displayed a more complete interface before Hyotei, complete with options such as "User Information," "Personal Email," "Contacts," "Database," and "History."

He took Hyotei's hand and pointed to the "Contacts" option with Hyotei's finger.

"For example, besides reviewing the numerous materials I've uploaded, you can also contact me anytime through the 'Ling Shu Network.'"

"Of course, this will only work within the coverage area of ​​the 'Spiritual Pivot Network,' including the other functions mentioned above."

Kong Ming'an patiently explained,

The so-called "Spiritual Pivot Network" is actually a network concept he constructed based on his memories of his previous life, using the "Spiritual Pivot" and numerous "soul computing power units."

Currently, it's more like a small local area network with limited functionality, only allowing for limited information sharing and transmission between him and a few people around him, which can be considered a form of self-entertainment.

However, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

If he wants to continue improving, he only needs to add more and better soul computing units. At the same time, the carrying capacity of the "Spirit Pivot" soul ring, which serves as the main unit, also needs to be continuously improved.

The former is relatively simple to deal with; just capture more evil spirit masters and convert all their souls into "soul computing power units."

Also, do you remember the "Soul Binding" soul tool he used to remove the remnant souls of soul beasts from his soul rings?

His subsequent propagation of the "Dharma Cultivation" system was inevitable, and naturally, the soul rings of "Dharma Cultivators" should not contain remnants of soul beasts.

To become a "Dharma Cultivator," it is essential to extract the remnants of a soul beast's soul. These extracted remnants can then be used as "soul computing power units."

Although these remnant souls of soul beasts, which lack even consciousness, may be only one-tenth or even one-twentieth the size of a complete evil soul master's soul,

However, there are so many Soul Masters that it's easy to collect a lot of remnant Soul Beasts, which is more than enough for early development.

And then, the focus will shift to all Soul Masters.

Chapter 107 The Soul Ring of Demiplane Transformation, the So-Called Spirit Pivot Agreement

In his vision, the future "Spiritual Pivot Network" will be like the network he was familiar with in his previous life, covering every Soul Master in every way, and eventually penetrating into the daily lives of all living beings.

It's reasonable to charge a tiny, insignificant "fee" during this process, isn't it?

This cost can be divided into two parts: one is the small amount of soul power required to maintain the network's operation, and the other is the computing power of the user's idle soul.

The former will be a more efficient, covert, and sustainable method of energy collection than simply selling or customizing artificial spirit rings.

Imagine if someone were constantly using the "Spiritual Pivot Network," it would be almost equivalent to constantly receiving soul power from it.

Once he completes his plan to popularize cultivation among all people, the "Spiritual Pivot Network" will cover all living beings in the entire Douluo Continent.

At that time, it would be equivalent to gathering the power of the entire plane to continuously support him alone!

One person is few, three people are many.

Gathering the power of all living beings to quickly accumulate energy seems to be the more suitable path for him.

In a sense, from the perspective of traditional belief in deification, his actions seem somewhat similar to harvesting the power of faith to forge a divine position.

The first sea god gathered faith to achieve godhood. He, Kongming'an, used the "Spiritual Pivot" to forge a network, collecting soul power to condense the "Star Ring".

They may have different paths, but the same goal; they are both manifestations of the power of all living beings.

The above only pertains to soul power; the "soul computing power unit" is even more similar.

First of all, it is important to know that no Soul Master, and indeed no living being, can fully utilize their soul computing power; there is always a large amount of "idle resources."

That's exactly what he wants to take advantage of.

Each user who connects to the "Ling Shu Network" bears the load of maintaining access to the "Ling Shu Network." Of course, this load is not high, possibly only one percent or even less of their soul computing power.

On top of that, he can levy an additional small portion, such as another one percent of idle computing power.

By integrating these scattered units of spiritual computing power to form a vast distributed computing network, he can assist in deductions and thinking that far exceed the limits of individual mental capacity.

This would greatly improve his thinking efficiency, automatically advancing tasks that already have a defined direction and only require tedious deduction and thought, allowing him more time to think about other things.

At the same time, each user is itself a natural miniature signal base station.

Their very existence radiates a faint vibration of "spiritual sharing," like a pebble thrown into a lake, constantly expanding the coverage and signal strength of the "Spiritual Pivot Network."

Now, his plan is clear.

First, conduct internal testing and optimization of the existing "Spiritual Pivot Network." Once stable, integrate it with the artificial spirit ring system and gradually launch it to the market.

Of course, the specifics of packaging and promotion can be left to Orange, since she's a professional.

Before promoting the "Ling Shu Network," he also had to solve the problem of the "Ling Shu's" size.

Currently, this "Spirit Pivot" soul ring, which serves as the main unit, has a maximum capacity equivalent to approximately 1000 standard units of "soul computing power".

Currently, this limit has been occupied by nearly one-third.

This capacity is barely enough for personal research, but it's woefully inadequate to handle the information deluge that will eventually cover a city or even an entire plane of existence.

He needs a more powerful vessel to replace it, or to make a deeper modification to the "Ling Shu" itself.

At least during the modification of "Ling Shu," he incorporated some of the demiplane construction techniques taught by Electrox and the spatial expansion principles of high-level storage soul tools, which greatly enhanced its initial carrying capacity.

If further expansion is desired, the focus will be on improving the stability of its internal space and its information carrying capacity, as well as adding more "soul thread" interfaces.

In a sense, he was trying to create a virtual demiplane that belonged to him alone.

The elder's demiplane was used to house the undead army, while this "demiplane" served as the core host, carrying the "soul threads" and processing vast amounts of information, becoming the beating heart of the "Spiritual Pivot Network."

It can be considered a new direction for development, the only problem is that "Ling Shu" is his soul ring!

Kong Ming'an wasn't quite sure what "Ling Shu" would look like later, but he thought it would be very interesting. He was modifying one of his spirit rings towards a demiplane.

Kong Ming'an was extremely excited about this.

Of course, this initial version of "Ling Shu" is sufficient for his personal use at this stage. Large-scale dissemination will come gradually, so there's no need to rush.

After all, if he were to expand, he would have to rewrite the "Ling Shu Agreement".

As the underlying rules and logic system that maintains the core of the "Spiritual Pivot," the "Soul Computing Power Unit," and the entire "Spiritual Pivot Network," constructing the "Spiritual Pivot Protocol" is indeed a brain-draining task.

He completed the parts about "Ling Shu," "Soul Computing Unit," and "Ling Shu Network" in ten days out of two months of research, and spent the rest of the time working on the "Ling Shu Protocol."

And since he spent so much time on it, the results were naturally exceptionally good.

It can assist him in his research, handling extremely complex deductions and calculations.

Specifically, he proposes a direction or question, the "Spiritual Pivot Protocol" distributes it through the "Spiritual Pivot" to the soul computing units for processing, and finally the results are summarized and fed back to him at the "Spiritual Pivot."

He can basically leave the game running in the background.

There are always trade-offs. Building this thing is too mentally taxing. Anyway, he doesn't want to touch it for now. Since it's running, he'll test the functionality first. As for rebuilding and rewriting it, he'll deal with that later.

Kong Ming'an looked at Hyotei sitting very close to him. There, Hyotei was connected to the "Ling Shu Network" and playing Tetris and Spider cards.

Yes, he was really overloaded with brainpower while writing the "Ling Shu Protocol," so he edited a few small games and put them into the "Ling Shu Network." He treated the editing process as a break and relaxation.

It seems pretty good now?

Kong Ming'an smiled slightly and did not disturb Bingdi, after all, this was to help him test the stability of the "Ling Shu Network".

Clearing his mind of distractions, Kongming softly called out from the bottom of his heart.

"Ling Shu"

Yes, Creator.

"Check the progress of important matters."

【Item 01: "Star Ring - Universal Method", computing power consumed: 50%, derivation progress: 3.62%, estimated completion time: six months and six days.】

【Item 02: "Body Cultivation - Qi and Blood Soul Ring", computing power consumed: 25%, derivation progress: 6.77%, estimated completion time: one month and four days.】

[Item 03, "Soul Beast - Universal Transformation Technique", computing power consumed: 25%, derivation progress: 16.66%, estimated completion time: 21 days.]

Kong Ming'an showed a satisfied expression.

This feeling of waiting for the harvest is really great.

Chapter 108 Attack, 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beast

The fact that he can simply leave the game running and wait for the rewards proves that his two months of work have not been wasted. Going forward, he can devote most of his energy to improving the "Spiritual Pivot Protocol".

Initial use of the technology significantly increased his speed in handling these numerous backlogged tasks, and with the future expansion of networks and computing power, the efficiency gains will be immeasurable.

More importantly, this system for assisting thinking is not his exclusive possession. Once it matures, core members such as Elder Yi and his grandfather Kong Deming can all access it.

At that time, the team's research capabilities will grow exponentially.

This is a truly revolutionary tool that can bring about a qualitative leap in efficiency.

After a moment's thought, Kong Ming'an began writing the proposal. He decided to first spread the "Ling Shu Network" among the core members of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce.

Putting aside everything else, the very fact that one can communicate quickly and directly through the "Ling Shu Network" will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of the Chamber of Commerce by a great deal.

Incidentally, infrastructure such as "network information base stations" also needs to be built.

Hmm. Let's set a small goal first: cover the entire Mingdu and Shrek City!

Kongming devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.

Time slipped by quietly for more than ten days as Kong Ming'an focused intently on his work.

……

……

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, in the Mixed Zone.

"These Moon Eclipse Silver Wolves are hunting us!" a Soul Emperor shouted, using his Martial Soul to punch a Moon Eclipse Silver Wolf that pounced at him, sending it flying.

An atmosphere of urgency, like a thick, tangible fog, enveloped the once confident twelve-member Soul Hunter team.

Everything happened so fast.

They had just worked together to hunt down a 30,000-year-old soul beast, just enough for a Soul King in their team who had just reached level 60 to absorb.

The next moment, they were surrounded by a pack of Eclipse Silver Wolves.

The group of twelve each adopted a wary posture, casting their gazes among the surrounding trees.

There, pairs of eerie green wolf eyes lit up like will-o'-the-wisps, their numbers increasing to over a hundred at a rough glance.

They moved nimbly and coordinated perfectly, like a well-trained army, constantly shrinking everyone's living space and forming a complete encirclement. At a certain moment, they pounced.

"The True Form of the Xuan Turtle!"

A Soul Saint named Shi Shan roared, and the enormous golden Xuan Turtle phantom behind him solidified, instantly unleashing a thick, earth-yellow light shield that blocked the wolf pack's frenzied attack.

However, he was ultimately alone. The earthen-yellow light shield trembled violently under the relentless claw attacks, teetering on the brink of collapse. A crack appeared, and several Moon-Eating Silver Wolves slipped in and launched their attack.

Without any hesitation, the other team members rushed forward and quickly killed the Eclipse Silver Wolves. However, the attacks continued relentlessly.

"Why are there Eclipse Silver Wolves in the Mixed Zone? Shouldn't they be active in the Core Zone?!"
