Sebastian only needed to send out a single seed, and afterward he could harvest an entire forest.
All the technology and energy painstakingly collected by Cyber Cultivators through countless hardships, accumulated day after day, would eventually fall into Sebastian's hands after their demise.
Just imagining such a scenario filled him with immense satisfaction.
Sebastian felt he was finally beginning to resemble a true Dimensional Demon God.
Indeed, only lending businesses were worthy of a Dimensional Demon God.
"Since I plan to offer lending services, the lifespan of Cyber Cultivators will also need to be appropriately shortened.
They cannot handle lifespans of several millennia, and it also does not align with traditional cultivation settings.
From now on, Qi Refining Stage cultivators can live for a maximum of 120 years. Foundation Establishment Stage can extend to 200 years. Golden Core Stage will be limited to 500 years."
Sebastian muttered to himself with satisfaction.
"Hmm, perfect."
Subsequently, Sebastian called upon the creator's authority, gently slid his finger, and fine-tuned the Cyber Cultivators' lifespan limits so they matched those of traditional cultivation systems. He then nodded in contentment.
From that moment on, once Cyber Cultivators reached their designated lifespan, the Cyber Aura would reduce its life-support function, causing them to age rapidly and die, thereby completing the harvest.
After determining the general direction of cultivation from then on, Sebastian immediately gathered more like-minded Hi-Bros and launched round after round of intensive comparative experiments.
After in-depth research, they finally uncovered the mysterious nature of the Meditation Technique.
The so-called Meditation Technique actually radiated energy toward the practitioner at a specific frequency.
And the energy radiation frequency in the Blood Clan World had the ability to strengthen the spirit and open Soul Armaments.
Once the operating principle of the Meditation Technique became clear, modifying it experimentally became far easier.
As long as he understood the energy frequency and wavelength—and their corresponding effects—Sebastian could alter the Meditation Technique however he wished.
The Cyber Dimension immediately began operating at full capacity, calculating and comparing countless possibilities while recording the effects of different energy wavelengths.
At the same time, a shocking scene unfolded within the universe.
A gigantic Arcturus crystal star-ring slowly emerged from the void, encircling a star.
On the crystal star-ring, tens of millions of Sun Matrices were inscribed, amplifying the star's energy by tens of millions of times.
The Arcturus crystal's natural stellar-energy absorption properties complemented the Sun Matrix's efficient amplification and conversion functions.
In an instant, an immense and indescribable energy surged into the Cyber Dimension like an endless tide.
"Burp~~~"
Sebastian suddenly felt the Cyber Dimension sink slightly, as though he were being force-fed energy.
It was as if someone were frantically stuffing energy into his mouth, leaving him feeling completely full.
The dimension rapidly expanded at an astonishing rate, radiating unprecedented vitality and vigor.
The plants within the farms grew, matured, and were harvested in endless cycles.
Meanwhile, Sebastian's spatial warehouse filled rapidly.
Only now did Sebastian fully understand.
He realized that his previous thinking had been somewhat biased.
He truly did not need to obsess over maximizing personal power.
He had once been overly immersed in cultivation and personal strength, even approaching a state of cultivation deviation.
Now it seemed that this obsession with cultivation had instead become a shackle that restricted his progress.
He clearly possessed numerous advanced and extremely powerful scientific technologies.
If used properly, these technologies could provide immense improvements to his overall power.
However, because the Da Luo Arena could not carry large-scale devices or weapons other than himself, many technologies could not be applied directly to individuals.
Thus, they had been set aside, waiting for someone else to develop them further.
But in truth, he did not need to focus solely on cultivating immortality and improving personal combat strength.
Many large-scale technologies could assist him in becoming stronger far more quickly.
Looking back, he remembered the time in the One Piece world.
He had possessed sufficient technology to build a Dyson Sphere and harvest enormous stellar energy for the Cyber Dimension.
Yet, because he relied too heavily on personal power, he stubbornly chose to act as a human solar panel—enduring several days in the vast universe absorbing stellar radiation.
It was something that machines could have handled easily.
But he insisted on doing it himself.
Now that he thought about it, the whole situation felt somewhat ridiculous.
Returning to the main topic—
Once the Cyber Dimension had sufficient energy supply, the computational power it could mobilize became virtually limitless.
After all, the Cyber Dimension now connected eight different worlds.
The computational power generated by even a single world was enormous.
Eight worlds together created an almost unimaginable processing capacity.
Using this computational power, Sebastian continuously calculated the optimal frequencies for the Meditation Technique and deduced countless improvement plans.
Almost every second, a new Meditation Technique was generated—only to be discarded the very next second.
As for testing the effectiveness of these finalized Meditation Techniques, each test required only one willing or unwilling Patient.
It was economical, practical, and environmentally friendly.
Time passed quickly.
Several months went by in the blink of an eye.
Unbeknownst to anyone, some of the modified persons had been fortunate enough to survive.
They were reborn as mass-produced Golden Core Ancestors.
They were somewhat weak, but that weakness existed only when compared to normal Golden Core cultivators.
To mortals—and even many Super Heroes—they were genuine "Old Ancestors."
They walked out of the laboratory with surging power flowing through their bodies and irrepressible excitement on their faces.
They strode forward confidently.
An infinitely promising future seemed to await them.
At the same time, this group of newly created Golden Core Ancestors was destined to generate considerable economic benefits for Sebastian.
There was no other choice.
Recently, due to Homelander's killings, social order had grown increasingly unstable.
Unruly individuals were becoming more and more restless.
At such times, the importance of Super Criminals became evident.
After all, when facing Super Criminals, any action taken by Super Heroes could easily be justified as righteous.
Moreover, it was Homelander's term in office.
His tolerance toward the actions of Super Heroes was famously indifferent to the lives of ordinary people—a philosophy he described as "necessary sacrifice."
Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that if someone dared to cause trouble during this period, Homelander would twist their head off without hesitation.
And no one would dare to protest.
Of course, while these Golden Core Ancestors went out to enjoy themselves and indulge in the privileges of power, not all test subjects were fortunate enough to survive the transformation.
Most of them had their souls damaged by intense radiation during the experiments.
Their minds became distorted and chaotic.
They wandered aimlessly like walking corpses—
Reduced to living dead.
