New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 147 Recreating the Law Domain, Installing the Server!

The 'Shadow Demon Insects' brought back by Tiger Demon were all top-quality, carefully selected. They were inherently powerful, ranking in the lower-middle range of the Earth Rank in the underworld, at the level of the 4th Realm. (Left Commander, Earth Rank 12, ≈ Half-step Heaven Rank Peak Great Perfection)
Just now in the garden, the two experimental subjects contaminated by the disease were swept away by the storm. They underwent a complete transformation (acute mutation), temporarily breaking through to the level of the 5th realm.

He was unaware of the strength level of these 'demonic insects' in the world of the Divine Spirits.

However, he was certain that if they were allowed to eat diseased plants indiscriminately, leading to physical deformities and mutations, and then actively escaped control, it would definitely cause a significant pollution incident in Runing City.

If he were more cautious, he could have guided the disease-infected insects to escape from the haunted house, leaving behind clues. He could have easily shifted the blame to the forces behind the secret construction of the 'garden,' exposing them to the security bureau and instigating a dogfight, watching both sides tear each other apart.

Therefore, these 20 demonic insects definitely have value. But their usefulness is zero.

Although the demonic insects are cougars, the residual [insect-type pollution] within their bodies is too heavy, making their golden carapace indestructible, unlike the eggplant-headed demons which can [liquefy] for easy concealment and carrying. These insects are like armored vehicles, rampaging through the enemy ranks. They possess extremely high combat power, but are very difficult to hide.

Furthermore, their sheer number, all carried by the Tiger Demon, causes the user to experience "Shadow Collapse," severely impacting daily life. Leaving them all idle in the "haunted house" renders them utterly useless.

I painstakingly brought back this batch of 'Changgui Demon Insects,' which filled up the memory of the [Changgui Divine Power], but it turned out to be useless. It was just used as a nuclear weapon trump card to keep people in the stockpile and stabilize their hearts. The effort and reward were too disproportionate. It was a huge loss!
Spicy snack: "So what do you want?"

Yuan Zhu was straightforward: "We need to get them moving, find something to do, and create value for me!"

Since merging with fragments of his predecessor's soul, his personality has become somewhat distorted. He transformed from a "laid-back dog" into a "bookworm dog" with an ignited workaholic spirit. He is obsessed with working, starting businesses, making money... and getting ahead.

As the boss, he tirelessly takes on part-time jobs and completes tasks to serve [Mao Mao Wang] and start his own business; how could he stand by and watch his 'accomplices' idle at home without doing anything?

So all of you get moving and start working! Working! Shouldn't the demonic insects be working overtime 24/7 to generate profits for their master?
Spicy Strips chimed in, "You're right! But the Shadow Demon Worms are indeed not suitable for appearing in Running City in this state. The 'contamination concentration' in their bodies is already very high. If they are exposed to the outside world rashly, and their form is so strange, it is very likely to attract the attention of the [Security Bureau]."

Running is different from the backward underground world; various extraordinary systems are intertwined, and there are a variety of detection methods.

Who knows how many detection methods are hidden in the corners of this city? Just the 'monitoring rats (biological monitors)' hanging on the streets and alleys are no less sophisticated than those in most countries on Earth.

There are even more "biological camera rat heads" on the streets of Running than on the streets of the United States, a country that values ​​human rights and privacy. This is utterly outrageous.

Yuan Zhu: "So what good ideas do you have to leave them in the haunted house, and then you'll give me the job and do all the work?"

As he spoke, an image began to appear in his mind of a swarm of 'Shadow Demon Insects' working tirelessly day and night under the light of a kerosene lamp, using their tiny, segmented legs to smoothly paste matchboxes, knit sweaters, and do cross-stitch...

After a brainstorming session, Little Spicy Strip suddenly said, "Boss, I've got a solution. It's the same old problem: let's set up a server for [Great Wilderness Old Deng]!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhu recalled the information about the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture Server]. According to what Spicy Strips had said, the authentic [Server] required finding a spiritual vein within the [Immortal World] to decompress and install it.

Once successfully installed, the full potential of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] will be unlocked and unleashed through this 'spiritual vein,' transforming it into a [scientific research support server] centered around 'espionage intrusion.'

While exploring the cultivation information, world rules, and biological bloodlines of the immortal world, they also spread the [Immortal Scripture.Client] to develop more spies; ultimately, they cultivate seven 'local super geniuses' to infiltrate sects and obtain more information about the laws.

Unfortunately, [Dahuang Laodeng] was born into the wrong world; the Duling Planet has no 'spiritual veins' at all.

However, the [Garden of Disease] does have some merit as a substitute, and the 'Rotten Roots of the Immortal Tree' in the Underground World also closely resemble the 'Contaminated Spiritual Vein'. Furthermore, the [Shadow Domain] he created in the Bubble World also possesses similar characteristics.

So Spicy Strips egged him on, "Boss, don't you think the Shadow Domain we created using the Shadow Dream Hole looks just like an evil spiritual vein, and is qualified to host a server?"

Yuan Zhu's eyes flickered. When he was in seclusion in the [Shadow Dream Hole] (while the Tiger Demon was sleeping), he wasn't truly asleep. Instead, his spirit entered the [Cockroach Dream], where time accelerated, and he frantically studied the [Shadow Domain], the ultimate talent.

As Spicy Strips said, if a [Law Domain] is opened up and connected to the [Shadow Layer], then the spiritual energy of the shadows can be drawn in an endless stream. In the cultivation world, the [Law Domain] has the function of a spirit-gathering array; in the magic world, it is a small [Shadow Element Pool].

Therefore, it deserves to be a [Celestial Scripture Server]!
Seeing that Yuan Zhu's expression showed some interest, Little Spicy Strip pressed her advantage: "If you ask me, there's one good thing about our [Shadow Domain], and that's that it's 'weak' enough! It's inherently weak. As long as the 'artificial domain' isn't strong enough, it can't handle a [server] at full power."

"So even if [Dahuang Laodeng] had a hidden trick in the server installation step, it will fall into a new round of dormancy because of the low level of 'Spirit Vein (Law Domain)'. It may want to kill us (the thieves), but it will be powerless to turn the tide. If there is a conspiracy, it can only operate halfway and cannot achieve the whole goal, leaving itself a chance to counterattack."

Yuan Zhu: "You've really thought of everything. You've even taken into account the possibility of the zombie coming back to life and fighting back."

Snake said ruthlessly, "Who told us we were on the same side? As long as [Dahuang Laodeng] is not eliminated, I, Yujingzi, will not have a moment's peace."

The little spicy snack is so considerate of me, I'm so touched!
Yuan Zhu: "So you mean I should use the 'Disease Demon Insects' to reforge the [Insect Pillar], and then build a new [Shadow Domain] in the mortal world."

Yu Jingzi nodded: "Indeed! Although we lack the most crucial [Shadow Dream Hole], it doesn't matter. The standard [Law Domain] construction process has already obtained a 'mature model' from the underground world. Now we only need to modify the parameters according to Running's environment; then refine this batch of [Disease Enemies], which have become even more ferocious after consuming disease waste, into new 'Insect Pillars'; and find a sufficiently secluded place to re-establish the 'Array Foundation'!"

"At that time, you will use your ultimate divine power to continuously gather the power of shadow and activate this 'magic array,' thus obtaining the [Tiger Magic Domain] with complete independent ownership. After operating for a period of time, deploy it to the [Server] to unleash more potential of the [Immortal Scripture], establish a firm foothold on Duling Star, and create an unshakeable foundation for all eternity! I have a strong premonition that only by establishing the [Magic Domain] will we have the opportunity to contact the [Pastoral Village (Magic Domain)] in the [Foam Layer]. This is a great opportunity."

Listening to Yu Jingzi's vision, Yuan Zhu couldn't help but agree, saying, "Whether or not to unseal the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] is another matter. Creating a new Dharma Domain should indeed be put on the agenda. Bringing back this batch of demonic insects was indeed a wise move!" Not to mention that without powerful 'demonic insects' to refine [human pillars], how long would it take for other trash goblins to cultivate inferior human pillar array bases, and whether they could even support the [Shadow Dharma Domain]?

Even if he finds a 'disease monster' or other monster comparable to the 'Shadow Demon Insect' to refine [Human Pillars], will these new 'Human Pillar Array Bases' be able to carry the [Nightmare Attribute] and make contact with the 'Pastoral Village' deep in the [Foam Layer]?

But the demon insect can!

The batch of 'Shadow Demon Insects' he brought back were all well-behaved babies automatically refined by the [Shadow Dream Hole]. Each 'Demon Insect' contained a rich amount of [Nightmare Power].

In Running, this thing (Nightmare Power) is a non-renewable resource; he cannot replicate a second one.

If the original Nightmare Insect Pillars were used to create the Shadow Domain, perhaps a 'Dreamland' could be born? And by leveraging the hidden connection between the two, could a dream passage to the Nightmare Layer be established with that 'Cockroach Village Far From the World'?!
Spicy Strips showed a surprised expression of "I see," and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is mighty! Boss is so insightful! Lao Da, listen to me, you are the real genius!"

Yuan Zhu humbly gestured with his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Keep a low profile! Even though the domain built by the Nightmare Insect Pillars can't connect with the Pastoral Village, I still need this kind of [Shadow-type] foundation + private pollution source to serve as collateral for the [Anti-Law] and to manage the lending power."

His "anti-law path" is not about finding a supplier, borrowing their corrupting power, and becoming a worker; rather, it's about taking on the role of a high-ranking "loan demon" to lend money to other Destiny workers.

Where does this power come from? [Tiger Demon]!
How much of this power was lent out? The Tiger Demon's own power was limited, so it used the 'Tiger Demon Power' to create the [Law Domain], and then lent out the [Law Domain].

This is the method of leverage!
Which of the [Anti-Law Demon Gods] doesn't have its own 'brand enterprise'? Which one doesn't have a 'financing and lending company'? If the Tiger Demon wants to rise to power, it naturally needs its own 'enterprise', and [Shadow Law Domain] is perfectly suitable.

Spicy Strips went through everything in the smart program and, after confirming that everything was correct, said to Yuan Zhu, "Then let's get started! Every second wasted is a loss."

"Fine!"

Yuan Zhu looked at the 'Disease Demon Insect (Chang Gui)' lying on the ground beside him, switched back to Tiger Demon form, and then looked at the 'Inner Universe' in the 'Boss Template'.

Without readily available [Law Domain + Shadow Dream Hole] for fully automated refining, it can only refine insect pillars through [Inner Universe].

However, currently, there are quite a few 'refining tasks' running in the [Inner Universe], a total of 4 independent processes, occupying 80% of the resources. They are:
Refining Quest 1: A cluster of enraged and rampaging 'Demonized Immortal Tree Roots (Tentacles)', this is a pure [Kunlun System. Uncontrolled Pollution Source] captured in the Pollution Forbidden Zone on his way to the surface, quest progress 22%.

Refining Quest 2: A 'Human Immortal Zombie (Immortal Zombie Beard)' left over from the era before the Great Cataclysm, still a pure [Kunlun System. Out-of-Control Monster], quest progress 19%.

Refining Quest 3: A 'Level 7 Earth-rank Demonic Qi Refining Grandmaster' who has gone mad. This is a pure [Insect-type Demonic Qi Refiner (Human)]. Quest progress: 24%.

Refining Quest 4: On the eve of his return, in order to test the strength of the Sanctuary, he chose to charge head-on into a small team of Scourge Knights. He forcibly devoured a Death Knight Armor using his Tiger Demon Form. It is a standard Knight-type Fallen Monster. Quest progress 5%.

These four tasks are all highly valuable, as they help the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] analyze and interpret the pollution rules of the 'Foam World'.

At the same time, any success in any of these four tasks, whether it is creating the [Changgui] or the [Changgui Plugin], will have significant research value.

Therefore, he did not intend to interrupt any of them, so the remaining 20% ​​of idle power was only enough to refine one demonic insect.

Tiger Demon: "Sigh, I only trained one, but the other 19 are left idle. I'm a little unwilling."

If the 'demon worm' weren't intellectually deficient, the ghouls created from it would be utterly devoid of intelligence. Otherwise, he would have loved to take on jobs that even mentally challenged people could do, letting the demon worm work for him.

Hmm... Come to think of it, goblins aren't exactly unintelligent. Why not capture a whole bunch and have the demonic insects and eggplant ghosts serve as jailers, making them work tirelessly for me in this haunted house?!

Illegal imprisonment and forced labor are used to help evil goblins reform through labor, transform their faith, and create value for society! This is the merit of education and the way of the sages.

Skeleton Spicy Noodles had no idea what kind of wicked idea Dark Cat Head had come up with at that moment. Instead, he comforted him, saying, "Boss, stop sighing. Do you know how many years an ordinary tiger demon would need to cultivate to reach your current level of strength in the Immortal Dao Universe, which is 'refining insect pillars and creating a law domain'?"

Tiger Demon: "How long?"

Snake Tail: "With abundant spiritual energy, it would take at least several decades or even centuries. To cultivate a cougar of the strength of the [Disease Demon Insect], I wonder how much effort and cost would be required? How many more years would it take to gather 12 insect pillars and open up the rudimentary form of the Dharma Domain? As for you, these demon insects have already been refined into cougars by the [Shadow Dream Hole]. You only need to remelt them slightly to directly refine them into [Insect Pillars]."

"Let me do the math for you. The first [Insect Pillar] will be a little slower, taking at least four days to complete. Once you've adapted and accumulated enough experience, the efficiency will improve. At a rate of two [Insect Pillars] per week, the minimum standard is twelve, which is about a month and a half. Compared to the Tiger Demon in the Immortal Dao Universe, you're incredibly powerful!"

Having adjusted his mindset, the tiger demon chose to gag before swallowing the first 'disease demon worm'.

"Bah bah bah!"

It plunged its tail into the shadows, and a gigantic shadow serpent emerged from the floor, spitting out a pile of things: Unyielding Pride, Mutated Tissue... After emptying its belly, it swallowed the 'Disease Demon Insect', adding a [Refining Quest 5].
