Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 259 Taking Control of the World (Part 2)

After the man-made natural disaster was brought under control, Xu Feng landed in the area where the blizzard was about to continue to rage.

Using the manufacturing capabilities of the Swallow Fruit, high-tech cold-weather clothing with added ingredients was synthesized and distributed by high-ranking personnel under their control. This high-tech cold-weather clothing was sufficient to support people's activities in polar regions.

But once you put it on, you become a puppet.

However, when Xu Feng was 'connecting and controlling' the vast majority of ordinary people, he did not immediately take complete control; at first, he only secretly induced them.

Let them feel compelled to help others affected by the snow disaster.

Among them, the more people resist this kind of "uncontrollable" good deed, the stronger the control of the "Restraint Clothes" will be... Conversely, if they completely submit to that "uncontrollable" feeling, Xu Feng will not interfere too much, but will only let the "Restraint Clothes" grant them various skills.

A month later.

As the blizzard subsided, a third of the planet's northern hemisphere was covered in white.

In the past month, Xu Feng has either secretly induced or forcibly controlled... and has taken control of 99% of the planet's population.

He did not attack the palace, nor did he kill the leaders of the revolutionary army.

It simply steals the power of the grassroots people, lets artificial intelligence guide their actions, and creates development plans for them.

The young emperor and the leaders of the revolutionary army issued orders in their own self-righteousness, but when the vast majority of those who carried out the orders joined forces to 'deceive their superiors,' what those who issued the orders saw was nothing more than a carefully crafted lie by Xu Feng.

In their eyes, the empire was rapidly recovering, relationships between people had become incredibly harmonious, and everyone had suddenly become respectful of the elderly and caring for the young, hardworking, and eager to learn... Moreover, they were all practicing a simple and efficient exercise method, and their physical fitness was rapidly improving.

— Xu Feng plans to popularize the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" in this world.

After he received the Bodhi Proof Divine Skill directly from the Main God Space, he discovered that he had made many mistakes in his understanding of details during his past cultivation process when he looked at the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill manual.

However, there is no doubt that the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is simple and easy to learn—these minor errors will not limit his practice of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, nor will they affect his potential, but they will slightly reduce the speed at which he practices the skill.

Because of this safety, popularizing the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" in the world will not lead to any serious consequences.

As the number of cultivators increases, there will always be someone among the vast number of cultivators in this world who can provide beneficial assistance to him, the propagator.

Or rather, this behavior itself may be helpful.

Buddhism is divided into Hinayana and Mahayana. Hinayana seeks self-enlightenment, while Mahayana teaches the salvation of all sentient beings.

Xu Feng doesn't think that spreading the Dharma in this world is about saving all sentient beings. In fact, he personally agrees more with the philosophy of Theravada Buddhism. He thinks Mahayana Buddhism is too grandiose and empty—this is not a derogatory term. The Buddha sought 'emptiness'. Mahayana Buddhism has too high a goal. It is very useful when it is used to explain the Dharma, but it is very easy to go astray when it is used to guide practice.

But since we have these conditions, why not give it a try?

There are some dark motives behind this plan.

Twenty years is enough time to cultivate a group of junior masters who have mastered the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the fifth or sixth level with profound internal strength. With the help of those people, a group of cannon fodder with A-level internal strength can be quickly created in the future through the Absorption Technique, such as Renbang and Dongshan Heiichiro, two members of the East Sea Team.

Xu Feng felt that when he harbored such dark thoughts, he was even less likely to be 'saving all living beings'. Of course, his self-perception did not affect the positive development of the order in the Akame ga Kill! world.

Most of the young people who were not yet under control felt that all these changes were because the minister, the 'root of all evil,' was beheaded... because without the minister, society had become better.

Some knowledgeable people sensed something was wrong, but they didn't have the power to break this imbalance; they could only passively enjoy the positive changes.

The thousand-year-old empire now exists in name only.

During this process, Xu Feng also secretly killed two Imperial Arms users from the Empire side. One was an Imperial Arms user who used an Imperial Arms that could create traps, and the other was an Imperial Arms user who could control flying Dangerous Species. They had a close relationship with the former minister, Ernest, but because of the importance of the Imperial Arms they possessed, they were spared by Bud before another Imperial Arms user could be found.

But in the end, he could not escape death.

To Xu Feng's regret, he did not receive any side quests when he killed the two Teigu users. He didn't know if it was because the two Teigu users were too weak, or because the situation in this world had changed and returned from war to peace.

Aside from the Empire, the same applies to all regions where human civilization exists: the foreign kingdoms to the west of the Empire, the Japanese kingdom to the east of the Empire, and the Peacock Continent across the sea from the Empire.

Under Xu Feng's control, ancient books that have been passed down for thousands of years gradually came into his hands from all over the world.

Xu Feng recorded the technologies used by the Empire to manufacture Imperial Arms and Imperial Guards, the alchemy of the Western Kingdoms, the technology of the Gravekeepers who perished a few years ago to fuse with dangerous species, and the technology of Japan to manufacture funerary objects...

From a technical standpoint, creating Imperial Arms poses no obstacle for Xu Feng.

"Judging from the existing materials, the easiest Imperial Arm to manufacture is the Beast King Transformation Lion King! This Imperial Arm's technology is the most complete, and it requires far fewer high-grade materials such as Orichalcos than other Imperial Arms. Its core is a Super Dangerous Type material."

Xu Feng played with the white jade that emitted a soft glow.

"However, what would the Beast King form created from the core of a dragon look like? Leone became a lion girl after using the Lion King, and she would become a 'little dragon person' after using a Teigu created from a Dangerous Species of Dragons? Theoretically, this Teigu should be even stronger than the original Beast King form!"

Xu Feng was not in a hurry to create Imperial Arms.

The materials provided by the Super Dangerous Beasts are extremely precious, and his processing skills and understanding of Imperial Arms have not yet reached their limits. He hasn't even exchanged enough excellent natural treasures from the Main God Space to use as auxiliary materials.

"Theoretically speaking, even extremely dangerous species can be made into this type of item, but the enhancement effect is not very obvious, and it can only produce items similar to servants," Xu Feng pondered.

"Hazardous hybrid, Hazardous body transplant, and the fusion of this Hazardous core... If we can fully understand these three, we should be able to achieve the best results when using Teigu to enhance our abilities. In that case... it's best to postpone Tifa's enhancement for a while longer."

Xu Feng looked at Tifa, who was standing on the lake developing the abilities of the Imperial Arms.

Not long after returning to this world, he gave Tifa the water-controlling Imperial Arm 'Water Dragon Possession: Black Marlin' that he had seized from the Three Beast Warriors.

The ring-shaped Imperial Arms was currently worn on Tifa's ring finger.

Just as Xu Feng predicted, the ring was far more powerful in Tifa's hands than it was in its original owner Riva's hands.

Whether it's the range or the intensity of water manipulation, it's far superior, but this Imperial Arms hasn't reached its limit yet and still has a lot of room for development.
