Please be my partner.

While Melen was achieving results, Nasus also found his second step.

The Holy Spirit Dog intended to walk the path of the soul, which was a rather difficult path, but with its own talent and a little luck, it managed to find a way out.

It is almost impossible to take the soul path directly, but you can achieve your goal through roundabout ways.

The Shinto system of the Mountain and Sea Realm was the first step that Nasus found.

To this end, Nasus also created a volume of "Investiture of the Gods" in order to prevent the Shinto system from "polluting" his own pure soul path.

But, Shinto is just Shinto after all, and can only reflect part of the soul rules. It is still far from the perfect soul way that Nasus wants.

So after returning to the Golden Academy, Nasus has been looking for other 'ladders' to climb the Path of the Soul.

During this process, because of the improvement of Melen's reading authority, Nasus also found many methods, the most intuitive of which was the extraordinary profession related to the soul.

For example, soul warlock, necromancer, lich, soul catcher, etc.

However, although the essence of extraordinary professions is the ladder used by ordinary lives to climb the extraordinary path.

However, Nasus was not satisfied, because the extraordinary profession was too deeply bound to the Holy Spirit Dog. It wanted to follow a purer path of the soul and did not want to have more... ties.

It would be best if it could be like the Shinto system, where one could comprehend the way of the soul, but at the same time pin everything on a volume of "Investiture of the Gods", so that one could pass through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on one's body.

Mellen was speechless when he heard Nasus' request. He didn't expect that his own Holy Spirit Dog had the potential to be a "bad dog". However, he could do nothing about it and could only let the Holy Spirit Dog figure it out on its own.

Then, after this period of study and research, Nasus finally found the second step in studying the way of the soul.

To this end, Nasus not only designed an extremely complex system, but also needed a sufficiently large "experimental site".

When Melen saw the Holy Spirit Dog's plan, he couldn't help but gasp.

This is really... a big deal!

Chapter 405 Virtual World

"Virtual world?!"

Melen looked at his own Holy Spirit Dog in confusion.

Nasus nodded slightly and extended his two small claws. A ball of light covered with countless strange symbols emerged. He said, "I need a world with complete rules, preferably large enough. Then I will add the 'virtual' rules I have been writing recently to it, and gradually transform that world into a 'virtual world'. In this way, I can use the intelligent life and all things in that world to help me perfect my soul."

"Of course, I still need Xiaoyin's help with this matter. Its computing power can help me maintain the operation and expansion of the 'virtual' rules and accelerate the process of eroding the world."

Melen asked curiously, "What will become of a world eroded by the 'virtual' rules you created?"

Nasus thought for a moment and said, "The entire world will be completely virtualized, and everything will be under my control."

Melen nodded and began to think about finding a suitable world.

The condition of complete rules is actually very easy to meet. Most worlds that can function normally have complete rules. The most important thing is actually "suitability".

Forcibly introducing new rules into the world is also an invasion and will be met with full resistance from the world.

If the world they are looking for is too strong, even with Melen's current strength, it will be quite difficult to deal with, so the weaker the natives of that world are, the better.

in this case……

Melen thought of something and began to look up relevant books. Soon, his eyes lit up.

In ancient times, there was no so-called spiritual tide in the starry universe. No matter what type of world it was, it was always full of spirituality.

The so-called spiritual tide is actually the product formed after the invasion of the Ten Thousand Beasts Universe. The ultimate reason is that the Starry Universe was damaged in that invasion, causing many small worlds on the periphery to experience periodic spiritual dryness.

For example, the Blue and Green Realm, and the Abyss World before it was invaded by the Abyss Rules.

During the period of spiritual dryness, these worlds will completely cut off their connection with other worlds. After all, without spiritual support, there will be no foundation for transcendence. Even saints will feel uncomfortable in such an environment, and the transcendents will even continue to lose strength and eventually become ordinary people.

Therefore, Melen only needs to compare the star map from thousands of years ago or earlier with the current star map to find those worlds that are still in a period of spiritual dryness and have not yet completely returned to the vision of the heavens and all worlds. These worlds will be the best testing grounds for Nasus.

Soon, Melen selected more than ten worlds, and then set off without delay.

Melen first went to the spiritual world through the teleportation array, but this time he went not to Evian Territory, but to Horton Territory, which was quite far away from Evian Territory.

Then Melen followed the coordinates given in the star map and traveled between the worlds.

The first world that Melen set out to find was called Qingyun Realm, which was just an ordinary one among the thousands of small worlds.

A day later, when Melen arrived at the coordinates of Qingyun Realm, he frowned as he looked at the empty gap in the world, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he began to search around according to the current coordinates.

Another day passed, and Melen stopped looking and shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that Qingyun Realm was no longer nearby. As for the reasons, there were too many. It might be because of changes in the nearby space, such as space-time storms, space shocks, etc., which blew Qingyun Realm away from its original coordinate position. It might even be because of a battle between strong people, causing Qingyun Realm to be affected.

In short, there is little point in continuing the search, so Melen goes directly to the coordinates of the next world.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that Spike discovered that it was in the spiritual world. The coverage area of ​​"War Messenger" was enough to spread to six or seven areas. Those stable nodes were fine, but the combat-related behaviors in the chaotic areas were much more than imagined.

It can be said that when in the spirit world, the power Spike gained from the ability of [War Bringer] was several times that of when he was in the world of Peru.

He ran around like this for half a month, searching for seven or eight world coordinates, but found nothing. This made Melen realize that there might be something wrong with his direction, so he stopped searching and contacted a knowledgeable friend.

The collector looked at Mellen in the mirror and said with a smile, "Mellen, all the things you asked me to sell for you have been sold. When will you come to collect the payment?"

Melen smiled and said, "There's no rush. Let's talk about it when I have time."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mellen got down to business and briefly explained the trouble he had encountered.

The Collector shook his head and said, "If you want to find the coordinates of spiritually depleted worlds, this comparison method is too inefficient. After the spirituality of those small worlds dries up, their mass will also change, making them more susceptible to the pull and influence of space. Often, the coordinates will change significantly during a spiritual tide. If you don't make arrangements in advance, finding their new coordinates really requires some luck."

Speaking of luck, Melen's heart moved, and he thought of the [Pointer of Destiny] that he had not used for a long time, but it was just a thought. He would not waste his own destiny because of such a small matter.

However, Melen also understood something in the Collector's words, so he asked, "The White Sand Chamber of Commerce should have the coordinates of many spiritually depleted worlds, right?"

Melen has not forgotten how he and the collector met. If he said that the Blue and Green Realm was not arranged in advance by the Baisha Chamber of Commerce, but was found purely by luck, Melen would not believe it.

The collector smiled and said, "Due to our relationship and the fact that you are a valued customer of the Baisha Chamber of Commerce, I can give you a few world coordinates for free. No matter what you want to do in those worlds, as long as it's not too excessive."

Mellen scratched his face awkwardly and said, "Forget about giving it away for free. I might make a big fuss and it might affect the whole world. I'd better buy it out."

The Collector's expression grew solemn. He stared at Mellen for a long moment before saying quietly, "It seems you're planning to do something untoward in these worlds. This would violate the Chamber of Commerce Alliance's 'Sustainable Development Regulations' and 'Indigenous Protection Regulations'!"

Melen blinked and asked, "So...?"

The collector nodded and said, "So, you have to pay more!"

Mellen: ...

After some bargaining, not only did Mellen not have to recover the payment for the goods, but he also invested some resources and finally bought out a world coordinate from the Baisha Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, with this buyout, the Baisha Chamber of Commerce can only guarantee that there are no other forces in that world at present, and after the Baisha Chamber of Commerce withdraws from this world, it will not sell the coordinates of this world again.

As for whether there will be other accidental intruders in this world in the future, Baisha Chamber of Commerce is not responsible for after-sales service in this regard.

However, this is enough for Mellen.

The Salon Realm is one of the many small worlds in the starry universe. Its only feature is that compared with other small worlds, the Salon Realm is larger, about 2.5 times the size of the Qingyun Realm.

This area is certainly nothing compared to a medium-sized world, but it is unique among small worlds.

When Melen arrived at the Salon Realm, the staff of the Baisha Chamber of Commerce had already evacuated, leaving only one person waiting for him to make the final handover.

After the handover was completed, with the departure of the last person from the Baisha Chamber of Commerce, there were no outsiders in the Salon Realm except Mellen.

Melen summoned his dogs, but without any hasty action, he began to simply travel around the world.

There are five continents in the Salon Realm, two of which are larger and three are smaller. There are dozens of countries distributed on these five continents. Due to the spiritual dryness, there are no extraordinary beings in the Salon Realm. Even if some inheritance is occasionally unearthed, no matter how hard people try, they cannot practice it, so they regard it as the imagination of the ancients.

Even if there are some extraordinary professions like [Knight] that can be practiced even in periods of spiritual drought, they are all the exclusive domains of powerful or secretive forces, and ordinary people have no way of accessing them.

The technological level of the Salon Realm is quite good. Electricity has been popularized and there is also a network-like system. The population is not small, estimated to be over three billion.

After several days of observation, Nasus had a new inspiration. He said, "Merlen, I plan to start an online gaming company. I will then spread these 'virtual' rules to the humans of this world through virtual games, and through them, I will corrupt this world."

"This method is gentler and more covert. If it can gain the approval of intelligent life, it may be able to avoid world confrontation and accelerate the erosion of the world to a certain extent."

When it comes to professional issues, one should naturally listen to the advice of professionals. Since Nasus has already thought of a plan, Mellen will naturally fully support it.

With Melen's extraordinary level, it is easy for him to play around in the Sarron Realm. Even performing some actions such as "Hypnosis Academy" or "Time Stop" are easy.

Of course, Mellen wouldn't be that boring.

After taking control of several super groups and a medium-sized country.

In a very short period of time, a giant game company called "Holy Spirit" was born. Within a few days, almost all well-known game companies and game studios in the Salon world were acquired or controlled by "Holy Spirit", followed by a series of personnel changes.

Just one month later, a groundbreaking game with the same name as the "Holy Spirit" game company went on sale.

Of course, the various propaganda about the 'Holy Spirit' had already spread to every corner of the world long before...

'The world's first holographic simulation game, with a 99% degree of realism, allows you to experience your second life in the game!'

"The world's top financial groups have invested, and countless groups are vying to acquire it. Virtual currency can be converted into real currency!"

'This game brings together the world's top planning, art, sound effects, animation... and will bring all players the most shocking audio-visual feast!'

The game's boss has a mysterious background, suspected to be from a wealthy family in a major country. Many of the world's richest people have close ties to him.

'...'

The power displayed by the "Holy Spirit" game company even aroused the vigilance of some major countries, and they directly mobilized forces to block and control the game.

However, these actions were soon met with higher-level condemnation, so in just one month, the game "Holy Spirit" was released directly with the green light to everyone's astonishment.

In the following days, all sales outlets of virtual helmets were extremely popular at all times. After the first round of popularity, the global penetration rate directly reached 0.7%, or more than 200 million.

Of course, this number cannot satisfy Nasus, and it is far from enough to bring out Xiaoyin's computing power.

Therefore, a new round of production and promotion is also being carried out simultaneously, and at no cost.

…………

Yang Jianping, a newly unemployed office worker, finally cheered up after experiencing a period of pain and confusion.

He watched the 'Holy Spirit' virtual game being advertised on TV and decided to buy a virtual helmet to relax. If he was lucky, he might even be able to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a professional gamer and support himself by playing games.

After several days of waiting, Yang Jianping finally got the virtual helmet he had been longing for. However, three days had passed since the game was launched, and he was already a little behind.

Yang Jianping couldn't wait to enter the game.

The game "Holy Spirit" does not have an initial profession, so the character creation interface does not have many options, and you can only do a certain degree of face shaping based on your own appearance.

After completing it, Yang Jianping randomly chose the online name "Lu Jian Bu Ping" and entered the game.

The breeze blows, bringing the fragrance of grass. Clouds float in the sky, and mountains rise and fall in the distance. You can also see some sci-fi-style buildings with beams of light rising into the sky.

Some fantastic creatures were running on the grass, and occasionally a shadow passed by. Looking up, one could see the vague shadows of some huge creatures.

The game "Holy Spirit" is mainly about capturing a fantasy life called "Palu", supplemented by survival, adventure, construction and other gameplay.

Yang Jianping looked around and found a player-built stronghold not far away. He looked at himself who had nothing, and then headed towards the stronghold without hesitation.

After some communication, Yang Jianping discovered that the person with the online name "Banxian" was actually his fellow villager, so Yang Jianping received some novice gift packs... the equipment eliminated by Banxian.

At the invitation of Banxian, Yang Jianping visited this already well-established stronghold, which had many fields and a workshop where dozens of Palu were busy farming, making tools, collecting resources, etc.

Suddenly, Yang Jianping saw a sheep-like Palu looking listless. Banxian immediately walked over to caress and feed it, then picked it up and put it in a building similar to a hot spring.

Icons of flowers and hearts suddenly appeared above the sheep's head.

Looking at this harmonious and friendly scene, Yang Jianping also curled up a smile.

After walking for a while, Yang Jianping saw another Palu lazing around in the workshop. Just when he thought the Immortal would continue to comfort him, he saw...

The half-immortal had a warm smile on his face and waved to the palu. When the palu came to him, he pulled out a dismemberment knife.

What happened next was so bloody that Yang Jianping's brain froze for a moment.

Looking at Yang Jianping's surprised expression, Banxian said calmly: "It won't work, there are plenty of Paru to do it!"

Yang Jianping blinked and asked in confusion, "What about that sheep just now..."

Banxian smiled and said, "In the later stages of this game, you need to breed and cultivate a Palu with powerful attributes. The one just now only had a golden attribute, so he is my baby, so of course he will be treated differently!"

At this moment, Yang Jianping seemed to vaguely grasp the true essence of this game.

Chapter 406 Advance Preparation

The popularity of the game "Holy Spirit" is undoubtedly phenomenal. The growth in the second month significantly exceeded that in the first month. The penetration rate has exceeded 3%, which means that the number of players has exceeded 80 million, and the number of daily active players has even reached more than %.

Moreover, these numbers are still growing at a very fast rate. It won’t be long before the ‘Holy Spirit’ game becomes the real second world for humans in the Salon world.

With this good start, Xiaoyin, under the command of Nasus, was able to invade the "virtual" rules into the Sarron Realm much more smoothly. The recognition of the humans in the Sarron Realm was the best disguise.

Melen wandered across the wasteland of the Salon Realm. In just two months, this world seemed to have undergone some changes quietly.

"Ouch!~"
