Chapter 29 Establishing a "Faith Base Station," Chamber of Commerce Project
"Gather—"
As the shout resounded deep within their souls, the relatively loose spiritual energy in their mental sea immediately converged at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They were originally a clump, but after gathering together they quickly stretched out, and after folding they stretched out again.
Gradually, the originally "invisible spiritual power" turned into "tangible threads".
Threads intertwined, weaving together "elements" to support the world. Countless elements were stacked up, eventually building a sacrificial tower on the continent at the very center of the illusion.
This is the only reality amidst countless illusions.
Aside from this sliver of reality, most of the other external illusions come from the memories of others, serving as armor to protect the soul.
As the number of happy memories collected increases, the external "ideal dreamland" will nurture the soul at its core, making it more resilient and even allowing the will within the soul to slowly grow.
same.
The growth of his will also enable Perseus to bear more happy memories, forming a two-way feedback loop that continuously improves his illusionary skills while strengthening his will.
Home is where my heart is!
It was only then that Perseus realized the weight of those words.
Willpower is the key factor that determines whether a strong person can continue to improve.
Two powerful individuals who have both achieved immortality and possess eternal lifespans will find that the one with stronger willpower tends to progress faster, because as long as they do not perish, they will never stop.
He will continue to rise, becoming a Venerable One, a Lord of the Universe... or even the strongest being in the universe.
Those who lack a strong will will stagnate and become trapped in a bottleneck for countless epochs once they suffer setbacks.
Therefore, willpower is very important!
At this stage, Perseus is not strong enough to protect himself, so he does not plan to cross the starry sky to search for the Origin Star and the Mountain and Sea Realm in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
But by a twist of fate, he found a way to slowly transform his will.
Perseus's eyes darkened as he felt the sensation exactly as described in the secret technique, a sensation he had previously dismissed as exaggeration.
This secret technique must be practiced—
Enhance the ability to resist soul attacks and accelerate progress.
Without the Black-Veined Stone Pillar, this was almost the best way he could find to improve his willpower in the early stages.
As for methods for collecting happy memories...
"Accumulate slowly, or find a way to preach on a few inhabited planets."
Thinking of this, Perseus looked at the intelligence beside him.
"Are there similar cases like No. 1? There should be relevant cultivation methods in the virtual universe, right?"
It truly lives up to its reputation as an omnipotent virtual universe.
As the universe's largest cesspool of ideas, it is home to trillions upon trillions of people of different statuses and beliefs. With such a large population, it is natural that all sorts of eccentric talents can be found.
In particular, some of the massive number of games released in the virtual universe involve vying for faith and deceiving the people under one's rule... Perseus even found many methods in the game guides to establish ideological imprints and turn them into die-hard loyalists.
Of course, these methods are not only useful in games.
Unreliable research suggests that some members of large families who lack talent in cultivation, in addition to participating in the large and small planet hunts organized by various slave trading organizations, also construct similar colony planets in the real universe, where they frolic freely and enjoy the feeling of being admired.
"So I should learn from those spoiled brats?"
Looking at the methods found by Number 1, and glancing at those shameless acts that challenged his worldview and understanding, Perseus felt inexplicably guilty.
However, considering that I am no longer human...
"That's alright then!"
Perseus shook his head and tried to select a few relatively mild methods to replicate life-bearing planets at different levels of civilization as much as possible while preserving the effects of faith, such as the agricultural era or the post-apocalyptic wasteland... And since he did not yet have a method to collect happy memories, Perseus planned to conduct a pilot test first.
"Number 1, have Tuo Er and the others filter the planets."
"The location should be secluded, with no special resources and few extraterrestrial humans passing by."
"Next, you can have them build a few more of the latest model laboratories on top and set them up to be hidden. It just so happens that the Poisonous Clone also needs a certain amount of space to research various toxins, and as a clone, he also needs a suitable place to hide. Let's do both things at once, so we don't have to spend time dealing with this next time."
Soon, number 1 looked up again.
"They have already been notified."
"Tor and the others said they would find a target as soon as possible. The Castle Merchant Guild has quite a few slave planets under its name. With a little modification, they can quickly meet the master's requirements."
"Furthermore, Master, shouldn't you consider the derivative issues of raising the level of life's genes?"
Perseus, who was just about to go to the killing field to practice, was slightly taken aback.
"Isn't this a long-term mission?"
"Previously, I didn't have many inhabited planets under my name, making it inconvenient to collect the corresponding species materials. Now, with the entire Castle Merchant Guild as a supplement, I plan to start collecting these species materials after Tuo'er and the others have occupied the planets..."
"We're short-staffed!"
Number 1 looked at Perseus with a hint of helplessness.
"Master, you've forgotten that you haven't bought any new slaves since you last purchased slaves from the Silverwing Clan. Although the Castle Merchant Guild isn't like those early-stage civilizations in the universe, capable of directly occupying several star systems and ruling millions of inhabited planets, it is still a genuine domain lord power."
"Master, don't you know how many inhabited planets a domain lord's power controls?"
At least hundreds of thousands.
Based on the base price of 100 billion Bright Coins for a single inhabited planet, these inhabited planets would also exceed 1000 billion Cosmic Coins.
To effectively utilize these life-bearing planets, each planet needs at least several star-level powerhouses... What can the Silverwing Clan's hundred or so people do?
Even if you threw ten inhabited planets into it, it wouldn't even make a splash!
Thinking of this, Number 1 continued, "Master, if you don't step in to handle the logistics and there aren't enough people to help, I'm afraid even if Tuo'er and the others take over the planet, they won't be able to manage it."
"Do you have a well-developed plan?"
Perseus coughed lightly and looked away somewhat guiltily.
He really hadn't thought of that.
He just didn't want to. Shouldn't Tuo Er and the others have reminded him?
Large sums of money require my approval. If they don't come to me proactively, do they expect me, as the boss, to handle everything?
"some."
Number 1 was unaware of Perseus's inner thoughts. Seeing that his master, who always acted as a hands-off manager, was finally taking things seriously, he quickly took out the things he had prepared long ago.
"Master, look, this is the best solution I've come up with."
"I plan to equip each inhabited planet with one Rank 100 Eternal Star, ten Rank 10 Eternal Stars, plus several Planetary Star warriors and mentalists. The cost is tentatively set at 10 billion Bright Coins per inhabited planet. Based on this standard, controlling all inhabited planets would require approximately 1 billion Cosmic Coins."
"But it's unrealistic to only equip it with a star-level configuration."
Perseus glanced at the planets under the Castle Merchant Guild's ownership. "How many cosmic-level planets do you plan to install?"
"Cosmic-level slaves, even the lowest level one, require trillions of Bright Coins, so we can relax a bit. For every 200 inhabited planets..."
Before Number 1 could finish speaking, Perseus interrupted, "No need."
"We'll stick to the original plan: for every 100 life-bearing planets, we'll place a unified management unit at the cosmic level. The cost of purchasing a first-tier cosmic-level unit and the subsequent cultivation will be roughly 20 billion cosmic coins."
"Based on the original layout density, I'll give you 50 billion cosmic coins directly. You can arrange it, including slaves and some necessary infrastructure for developing life-bearing planets."
"Including folding bases, spaceships, and some specialized personnel, you and Tuo'er work together to completely take over all the planets of the Castle Merchant Guild."
Perseus immediately transferred the money after saying that.
Once the funds were deposited into the dedicated development account, Number 1 breathed a sigh of relief and began to quickly assign corresponding infrastructure tasks to the other Silverwing Clan members who had advanced to the cosmic level.
Then, about ten minutes later...
"Where is the master's life mentor?"
"What are your plans for this shop? Do you intend to expand it?"
"I had already considered this before."
Finally, it was time for him to perform. Perseus directly retrieved a basic plan from the quantum computer and showed it to Number 1.
This set details the store expansion plan, but instead of opening branches on each planet in a piecemeal fashion as before, it directly separates the various products and incorporates all the original life-bearing planets into the merchant guild's plan.
"Life Enlightener," which mainly deals in cultivation supplies; "Hidden Weapon Pavilion," which mainly deals in weapons, armor, and psychic weapons; "Hundred Medicine Pavilion," which mainly deals in potions; "Future Technology Company," which mainly deals in spaceships and some mechanical products... These shops all have "Spark" in their names and belong to the complete Spark Merchant Guild.
