In his mind, the future Ling Shu Network would work like the internet he knew from his past life. It would cover every Spirit Master and eventually become part of the daily lives of all living beings on the continent.
During this big process, he thought it was very fair to collect a small fee from everyone. This fee would be split into two small parts. The first part would be a tiny amount of spirit power to keep the network running. The second part would be the idle computing power of the user's Soul.
The first method would be a much better way to collect energy than just selling or making custom artificial spirit rings. It would be hidden and last much longer. Imagine if a person used the Ling Shu Network all the time.
It would be just like that person was constantly sending spirit power to him without stopping. Once his plan to let everyone practice cultivation is finished, the Ling Shu Network will cover every living person and creature across the entire Douluo Plane.
At that moment, it would be the same as gathering the strength of the whole world to support him alone. One person does not have much power, and even three people are not enough. But gathering the power of all living beings to quickly collect energy seemed like the best path for him to follow.
In a way, if you look at it like the old stories of becoming a God through faith, what he was doing was very similar. He was harvesting the Power of Faith to create a God Position. The first Sea God collected faith to reach the Divine Rank and become a God.
Now, Kong Mingan uses the spiritual pivot to build a network, collecting spirit power to create a star ring. It is just a different way to reach the same goal. Both methods use the power of everyone to achieve something great.
That was only the part about spirit power. The Soul Computing Power Unit was even more interesting. First, everyone must understand that every Spirit Master, and even every normal person, cannot use all of their brain power. They never use one hundred percent of their Soul computing power.
There is always a lot of extra space that is not being used. This is exactly what he wanted to use for his plan. Every person who connects to the Ling Shu Network will help carry the weight of the connection. This weight is not heavy at all. It might only take one percent or even less of their Soul computing power.
Based on this idea, he can take another tiny part, like another one percent of that idle power. When he puts all these small Soul Computing Power Units together, they form a huge network.
This network can help him think and solve problems that are far too hard for just one person to handle. This way, he can think much faster. He can let the system automatically handle the boring and long calculations while he spends his time thinking about more important things.
At the same time, every person who joins is like a small signal station. Their presence sends out small waves of mental sharing. Like stones being thrown into a clear lake, they help the signal of the Ling Shu Network grow stronger and reach further.
Now, his plan was very clear. First, he will test and fix the Ling Shu Network. Once it is stable and works well, he will put it together with the artificial spirit ring system and sell it to the public. He can let Ju Zi handle the details of how to sell and promote it because she is the expert in those areas.
However, before he starts the Ling Shu Network, he must fix the size of the spiritual pivot. Right now, the spiritual pivot spirit ring can only hold about one thousand standard Soul Computing Power Units.
Nearly one third of that space is already being used. This small amount is enough for his own research, but if he wants to cover a whole city or the entire world, it is not enough. It would be like trying to put out a huge fire with just one cup of water. He needs something much stronger, or he needs to change the spiritual pivot itself.
When he first made the spiritual pivot, he used some special methods he learned from Electrolux for building small worlds. He also used the rules of space found in high level spirit tools. This helped it hold more than usual.
If he wants to make it bigger later, he just needs to make the space inside more stable and add more Soul Thread connections. In a way, he was trying to create a digital world just for himself. Elder Yi had a world for his army of the dead, but Kong Mingan's world would be the heart of the network. It would process all the information and keep everything running.
This was a new way to grow, but there was one small problem. The spiritual pivot was actually his spirit ring. Changing his own spirit ring into a small world was something new. Kong Mingan was not sure what it would become in the end, but he thought it would be very interesting to see.
He felt very excited about this. Of course, right now, the first version of the spiritual pivot was enough for his own work. He did not need to rush to give it to everyone yet. If he made it bigger, he would have to write the lingshu protocol again.
This protocol is the set of rules that keeps the spiritual pivot and the Soul Computing Power Units working. Building these rules was very hard and took a lot of brain power. Out of the two months he spent on research, he finished the spirit ring and the network parts in ten days. The rest of the time was spent making the lingshu protocol perfect.
Because he worked so hard on it, the results were very good. It can now help him with his research and handle very difficult math. He just gives the system a problem, and the protocol sends the work to all the connected Souls. Then it brings the answer back to him. It was almost like his research was on autopilot.
But everything has a cost. Making this thing made him very tired. For now, he did not want to work on the rules anymore. Since it was working, he would just test it for a while and fix it later. Kong Mingan looked at the Ice Empress. She was sitting very close to him. She was connected to the Ling Shu Network and was busy playing games like Tetris and Spider Solitaire.
Since his brain was so tired while writing the rules, he had coded some small games to relax. Now, it looked like they were working very well. Kong Mingan smiled and did not stop her. She was actually helping him test if the network was stable. He cleared his mind and spoke quietly in his heart to the system.
Spiritual pivot.
I am here, Creator, the system replied.
Check the progress of the important tasks, he ordered.
Task 01: Star ring Universal Method. Using fifty percent power. Progress is at three point six two percent. It will be finished in six months and six days.
Task 02: Body Cultivator qi and blood soul ring. Using twenty five percent power. Progress is at six point seven seven percent. It will be finished in one month and four days.
Task 03: Spirit Beast Universal Form Transformation Art. Using twenty five percent power. Progress is at sixteen point six six percent. It will be finished in twenty one days.
Kong Mingan looked very happy. This feeling of sitting back and waiting for the results was truly wonderful. He knew his hard work was starting to pay off. The network was growing, and his power was becoming something the world had never seen before. He watched the Ice Empress play her games and felt a sense of peace.
Everything was moving exactly as he had planned. He would continue to monitor the progress and wait for the right time to reveal his creation to the rest of the world. For now, he would rest and let the system do the hard work for him. The future of the Douluo Plane was being rewritten by his hands, one soul connection at a time.
He closed his eyes and felt the faint pulse of the spirit power moving through the network, a steady rhythm that promised great things to come.
