"Interesting, my foot!"
The Ice Empress looked like she was about to bite someone, but in the end, she didn't strike. She just asked, "How exactly do I use this thing? Do I have to sign this contract?"
"Don't worry, sign it," Kong Mingan explained with a smile. "I wouldn't trick you with something like this."
The Ice Empress pouted, still sharp-tongued: "Hmph, who knows what evil intentions you're brewing this time."
As she spoke, her thoughts, however, very consciously followed Kong Mingan's words and made a choice—[Sign].
The next moment, the gender-neutral mechanical voice sounded in her mind:
[Contract signed. User: "Ice Empress", Authority Rank: Sub-Creator. Identity confirmed.]
[Welcome to the lingshu protocol.]
After the voice faded, the text interface paused for about one or two seconds. Then, the gender-neutral mechanical voice sounded again:
[Successfully connected to the Ling Shu Network.]
[
[Please read the
[We wish you a good user experience.]
As the voice fell, the complex text interface in front of the Ice Empress instantly simplified and converged, eventually leaving only four small characters that seemed to be for self-introduction:
—"lingshu protocol."
The small characters disappeared, and a wealth of information surfaced in her mind. This was the content of the so-called
The Ice Empress, whose mental force was already strong, quickly absorbed this information. After a slight pause, she tentatively moved her thoughts, issuing a command to this so-called "lingshu protocol."
[Command accepted. User attempts to access data: "star ring · God Ascension Staircase."]
[Authorizing...]
[User Authority Rank: Sub-Creator.]
[Access granted.]
As the words fell, the next moment, countless pieces of data belonging to the "star ring · God Ascension Staircase" naturally appeared in her mind.
Kong Mingan had explained these to her before, but she hadn't understood much of the information at the time. Now, it was presented to her again in text form.
Unconsciously, she again issued a command in her mind, checking other things she still remembered, things Kong Mingan had explained to her.
And as long as she issued a command, that data would appear in her mind the next moment, allowing her to browse freely.
The Ice Empress blinked. With the vast knowledge present in her mind, her eyes became a little clearer. Unconsciously, she turned her head and asked, "What exactly is this?"
Kong Mingan revealed a slight smile: "This is the lingshu protocol."
The Ice Empress was puzzled, so Kong Mingan patiently explained this ingenious creation that had taken him a full two months to bring about:
"First, this is the product of an inspiration I had a few months ago, finally realized—the 'spiritual pivot.'"
Kong Mingan pointed to the silver spirit ring beside him.
"Its core is an information processing hub that I constructed using a portion of my naturally dissipated Soul fragments as a seed, and my first spirit ring, this spirit ring from a Thorny Dragon that carries spatial elements, as the main engine."
As is well known, a Spirit Master's spirit ring possesses malleability and editability.
What he did was transform the spirit ring from an "emitter" that could only activate fixed Soul Skill Modules to cast Spirit Abilities, into a "computing platform" with complex "interfaces" capable of receiving, storing, and processing complex information.
Kong Mingan called this the "spiritual pivot."
The core function of this spirit ring, named "spiritual pivot," was not to aid in thinking, but to serve as a foundational architecture, providing services for all information processing needs.
"I've built a large number of independent information processing threads within the 'spiritual pivot.' Of course, more accurately, they can be called 'Soul threads.'"
"Each thread will connect to and drive a 'Soul Computational Unit' through 'Spiritual Probing,' and each 'Soul Computational Unit' will provide computational power for me."
His gaze turned to the dark purple Myriad Souls Banner beside him.
The so-called "Soul Computational Units" were actually the more than three hundred Evil Soul MasterSouls within the Myriad Souls Banner that he had specially purified, completely erasing their self-awareness and retaining only their most basic logical computing capabilities.
He personally transformed them into "Soul Computational Units," becoming the cornerstone of the Ling Shu Network.
"As for the Ling Shu Network you just joined, it's a user interface built with 'Spiritual Probing' and 'Spiritual Probing' as core technologies, possessing numerous functions."
Kong Mingan's thoughts moved, and immediately, a more complete interface with options such as "User Info," "Personal Mailbox," "Contacts," "Database," and "History" appeared before the Ice Empress.
He took the Ice Empress's hand and used her finger to point to the "Contacts" option.
"For example, in addition to viewing the various data I've uploaded, you can also contact me at any time through the Ling Shu Network."
"Of course, this only works within the coverage area of the Ling Shu Network, including all other functions mentioned above."
Kong Mingan explained patiently.
The so-called "Ling Shu Network" was actually something he constructed based on the concept of networks from his previous life's memory, using the "spiritual pivot" and numerous "Soul Computational Units."
Currently, it was more like a small local area network, with a single function, only capable of limited information sharing and transmission between him and a few people around him, a form of self-entertainment in a sense.
However, there was a lot of room for future improvement.
If he wanted to continue improving in the future, he would only need to add more and higher-quality Soul Computational Units. At the same time, the carrying capacity of the "spiritual pivot" spirit ring, which served as the main engine, would also need to be continuously enhanced.
The former was relatively simple to deal with; he could just capture more Evil Soul Masters later, and all their Souls could be made into "Soul Computational Units."
Also, do you remember the "Soul Capture" spirit tool he used before to strip the remnant Souls of Spirit Beasts from spirit rings?
It was inevitable that he would spread the Spell Cultivator system later, and the spirit rings of Spell Cultivators naturally should not contain remnant Spirit BeastSouls.
To become a Spell Cultivator, stripping remnant Spirit BeastSouls was necessary, and these stripped remnant Spirit BeastSouls could be used as "Soul Computational Units."
Although these remnant Spirit BeastSouls, which didn't even have consciousness, might be one-tenth or even one-twentieth the size of complete Evil Soul MasterSouls in terms of volume,
But there were so many Spirit Masters! It would be easy to collect many remnant Spirit BeastSouls, completely sufficient for the Early Stage of development.
And later, the target would again be all Spirit Masters.
