In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 169 Enter My Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Start a Business as Brothers! (3K)

Whether Zhu Qingqing likes it or not, her destiny is already set and cannot be changed.

If I say you will enter the Ten Thousand Souls Banner today, then you will definitely enter the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!

Even if my soul and the device are incompatible, I have to get in!

Her soul was thus uncontrollably absorbed into the Cyber ​​Soul Banner.

The originally real souls were forced to adapt to the rules within the Cyber ​​Soul Banner and were rapidly transformed into cyber life forms.

Of course, the key to the ability of a real soul to be translated into a cyber life lies in the technology of the Spirit Network.

The Spirit Network is a semi-physical entity; everything within it can be seen as composed of spiritual energy, rather than an electronic network.

Converting a soul into a mass of spiritual energy data is naturally much simpler than converting a soul into electronic data.

Moreover, Aunt Sadako had already successfully practiced the idea of ​​ascending to become an electronic life form.

Could the wisdom of the entire cultivation world be inferior to that of a mere ghost?

After waiting for Zhu Qingqing's soul to adapt to the rules within the Myriad Souls Banner, Su Yuan waved his hand and directly promoted Zhu Qingqing to the spirit of the Myriad Souls Banner.

Su Yuan No. 1, as the main soul, was quite dissatisfied with this.

Before Zhu Qingqing arrived, he was the leader of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. But after Zhu Qingqing arrived, you directly created a separation of powers, didn't you!
Which is more powerful, the main soul or the artifact spirit?

Su Yuan's answer to this was very simple.

The main spirit is the banner chief, and the artifact spirit is the banner official.

Since they are both at the same level of True Soul, they can supervise each other at the same level.

Lately, my cyber brethren have become increasingly arrogant, and it's time to find someone to manage them and properly guide and train these ten thousand cyber vengeful spirits.

Without training and improvement, how can we progress together with ourselves as the owners of this company?
Damn it, I study every day, and you guys surf the internet all day, do you think I can't see it?!

Zhu Qingqing, who had transformed into a cybernetic soul, quickly adapted to her identity as the spirit of the Myriad Soul Banner.

On the silver-white pole, a banner appeared as if projected virtually, displaying Zhu Qingqing's minted coin head.

She said with a helpless expression:

"Su Yuan, although I do really want to experience the technology of the modern cultivation world, I never said I wanted to become the spirit of your Myriad Soul Banner."

"Why don't you just let me die?"

There was a common understanding among cultivators in the ancient cultivation world that once someone was refined into the Myriad Soul Banner, they would become the spirit slave of the magic weapon's owner.

Whether one lives or dies is entirely up to the master's decision.

It's even common practice for the owner to capture the souls inside the banner and set them on fire when they're slightly displeased.

Although Zhu Qingqing had a fairly good impression of Su Yuan, she wasn't at the point where she would feel comfortable entrusting her soul to Su Yuan's arbitrary manipulation.

Hearing Zhu Qingqing's suicidal expression, Su Yuan shook his head in exasperation:
“The ancients are the ancients, Master Zhu, this is where you are out of touch with the times.”

"What...what do you mean?"

Su Yuan solemnly said:
"You call yourself a master of puppetry, but your limit is nothing more than refining your own body into a magical artifact."

"But your soul is still a human soul, and your thoughts can only manifest in the grass and trees you see."

"But once you transform into a cyber soul, you can freely roam the spirit network and absorb its endless knowledge."

"At the same time, you can freely enter the body of any puppet and personally control it without any delay. Just imagine how much this will enhance your puppetry skills?"

Zhu Qingqing: "..."

That seems to make sense.

Seeing that the other party's expression had softened slightly, Su Yuan pressed his advantage and said:

"Don't think that being a spirit is a tough job. Our company is in its early stages right now, and you and my ten thousand cyber brothers are the company's veterans."

"As long as you are willing to work hard and put in the effort, your career has a bright future. Perhaps you will be the first cyber true immortal in the cultivation world."

"There's nothing wrong with being a living person, but after ascending to become a cybernetic soul, the possibilities are endless!"

Zhu Qingqing: "..."

Damn it, don't think that people in ancient times were all idiots!
You're quite the talker, aren't you?

In essence, isn't it still treating the souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as black slaves, making them work overtime day and night?
Despite her complaints, Zhu Qingqing ultimately stopped threatening to die.

Because Su Yuan's promise was indeed quite good, and there was indeed a good chance that it would come true.

But there's one thing she must discuss with Su Yuan first!
"You...you absolutely cannot use the Demon Finger on me again! Otherwise, I'm quitting."

Zhu Qingqing's pretty face turned serious.

She didn't want to become like the other magical artifacts that were taken away by the demon, revealing their heart-shaped eyes and becoming Su Yuan's plaything.

"That's natural."

Su Yuan readily agreed.

I was just kidding. Actually, it was used right after you finished translating, before you even regained consciousness.

Otherwise, how could I have so easily tricked an ancient demon cultivator who was 108,000 years old into working for me?
Su Yuan added two sentences in his mind, but smiled and said:

"That's settled then. If there's nothing else, let's go out."

Zhu Qingqing nodded, then thought for a moment and reminded him:

"Remember to bring my real body with you; after all, that's where my real head is attached."

"Moreover, that minimalist body may seem simple, but the materials used to make it are of a very high grade; otherwise, it could not have lasted for more than 100,000 years without breaking down."

Su Yuan nodded and stuffed the pink puppy and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner into his schoolbag.

Just as Su Yuan was about to leave, a sudden "ding-dong" sound rang in his ears.

Congratulations on completely destroying the Crimson Beauty and White Bone Temple!

???

[After slaughtering all the disciples of the White Bone Sect, you cruelly murdered the sect leader, Zhu Qingqing, and extracted her soul to forge the spirit of the Myriad Soul Banner?] [Host, your very existence has already transformed many self-proclaimed demonic cultivators into moral exemplars!]

Damn it! Putting aside how fake my massacre of the Zhu Yan Bai Gu Temple was, even if it were true, I was still fighting demons and upholding justice!

How come it is unacceptable to the world?
Is it just because I conscripted Zhu Qingqing to be the spirit of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner...? Well, that's certainly a rather demonic thing.

In short, you dog system, your bias is too much!

[The Demon Lord's quest has been updated!]

[Mission: Top 100 Demonic Sect (In Progress)]

The destruction of the Crimson Bone Temple has created a vacancy among the top 100 demonic sects. Ambitious as you are, you desire to make your own Yuan Sect the new top 100 demonic sect!

[Please enhance the strength of the Demonic Sect as soon as possible, so that the Yuan Sect can reach the top 100 standard!]

【Task Progress 1: Popularity Index (5026/20000)】

[Task Progress 2: Number of Followers (25779/50000)]

[Task Progress 3: Yuan Sect's Reputation (5500/50000)]

[Task Reward: Sect System]

Suppressing his urge to complain, Su Yuan fell into thought after reading the task description.

Sect system?

It sounds like something related to the positions and status of demonic cultivators within the sect.

Therefore, Chen Nuoyi's position as the Vice Leader of the Yuan Cult, Yin Qiyue's position as the Left Envoy of Light, and Chu Lanxi's position as the Right Envoy of Light, etc., are all about to become a reality.

It's unclear what changes will occur after they and other members become orthodox believers.

Does this mean that I, as the leader, can exploit them even more?
With this thought in mind, Su Yuan suddenly felt a strong desire to complete the task.

Anyway, my own account is already growing followers and selling products, so adding system tasks is just another task indicator.

The dog system surprisingly didn't try anything funny.

After turning off the system panel, Su Yuan walked out of the attic and easily passed through the gradually dissipating first-ring protective array.

Outside the first ring, Tai Baiji, Ye Muyu, Chen Nuoyi, and a group of exploration and rescue team members had been waiting for a long time.

Aside from Chen Nuoyi, the others who watched Su Yuan's entire challenge had rather complex opinions about him.

Most of the rescue team members vaguely sensed that the "expert Xiao Su" they were talking about might have more than just expertise in the demonic path.

Perhaps he himself is a great demon.

But no matter what, Su Yuan was ultimately a hero who stepped forward and saved them all.

No one would hold a prejudice against Su Yuan because of even the slightest problem with his private morality...or even a major problem.

"It was too impulsive of you to venture into the first ring road all by yourself."

Taibai Baiji gave a stern reprimand.

But after the training, his expression softened again.
"But it's good that you're alright."

"It's just that the hem of my clothes is slightly dirty."

Su Yuan remained calm and composed, displaying the demeanor of a superior person.

"Su Yuan, where is Abbot Zhu Qingqing?"

Ye Muyu asked.

He died peacefully in his sleep.

Su Yuan spoke without changing his expression, and then took out the headless rag doll for everyone to see:

"This is the legacy she personally entrusted to me before she died. I should be able to take it legally and legitimately, right?"

Ye Muyu smiled and nodded:
"It's natural."

"We are here for archaeological and conservation work, not as bandits. We will naturally respect the wishes of the owner of this secret place."

Tai Baiji stared at Su Yuan, and although he didn't say anything about the Great Desire Immortal Puppet, he asked with a suspicious look:

"Zhu Qingqing is really dead? Then what's that bulging thing in your backpack?"

Su Yuan: "..."

Tsk! Besides Chen Nuoyi, you're the person I know best in the whole room, and you old man don't trust me!

Where has the trust between people gone?
Seemingly sensing Su Yuan's resentment, Tai Bai Tianji took the initiative to explain:

"I'm doing this for your safety. Zhu Qingqing is a demon who has survived since ancient times. She is extremely cunning and treacherous, and her moral standards are extremely low."

"If you are tempted by her and give in to her soft heart, allowing her to enter modern society unsupervised, it could very well cause trouble!"

Hearing this explanation, Su Yuan felt a little better.

The problem is that what Teacher Taibai said is basically impossible to happen.

Zhu Qingqing has already entered my Ten Thousand Souls Banner and is under my control. Not only that, I have also secretly increased her favorability with my demonic art of finger weapon. There is no way she would betray me.

Even if she really rebelled, I, with my 'invincible in the second playthrough' title, could easily suppress her.

In short, there shouldn't be any problems with Zhu Qingqing's safety as an employee.

He wasn't afraid of being caught in the daytime investigation, so he opened his backpack and took out the pink-haired puppy.

"Look, this is her true form; she's truly dead."

"She also handed the body over to me to handle, so it should belong to me, right?"
