My brainpower is evolving infinitely.

The three were startled, not knowing what was going on.

Lin Ye's figure gradually appeared, his hands behind his back, standing in front of the three.

Everyone here has an indistinct face, only a black silhouette, but you can hear their voices.

Whether they contact each other offline is up to them; Lin Ye will not interfere unless necessary.

"This is the divine court I have created for you."

"teacher!"

"Greetings, sir."

Upon recognizing Lin Ye's voice, the crowd was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply to him.

Lin Ye nodded slightly and continued:

"The Divine Court exists independently of this world, allowing you to contact me and exchange information and help each other."

Of course, aside from me, any communication between you is entirely voluntary. No one may force or coerce another; anyone who does so will be killed without exception.

"Yes, sir!"

The three answered in unison, but were secretly overjoyed.

Although Lin Ye did not personally appear, providing such a platform for communication was of great help to them.

Firstly, they can find their own people, and through communication, everyone can feel a sense of belonging, so they won't feel too lonely being all alone.

They can exchange resources and grow faster. After all, those who are chosen by the master are naturally not ordinary people.

Of the three, being able to contact Lin Ye at any time is of paramount importance.

"I will release some rules later. Please be sure to abide by them and do not violate them, or you will be severely punished."

The faction has now begun to establish its initial framework, and its future development direction has been determined. It's time to establish some rules.

Lin Ye didn't want his men to act like a bunch of mindless thugs.

"Rest assured, sir, we will definitely comply!"

The three quickly expressed their loyalty, and Lin Ye nodded again.

"Okay, you guys chat first, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Seeing that Lin Ye was about to leave, Li Hai quickly called out to him.

"Sir, please wait."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Lin Ye glanced at him, and Li Hai immediately responded respectfully:

"Now that I've dealt with Yamajiro, I should return to the capital to report on this matter. As for what happened on the ship... and the news about that mysterious creature, should I truthfully inform the higher-ups of Special Group Nine?"

"It's a mix of truth and falsehood; just don't tell me."

"Understood. It seems they've already hired Fu Yuan, a top internet expert from Shanghai, to try and find out your identity. Do you want me to help them out?"

"Fu Yuan..."

Lin Ye thought of the Tencent cybersecurity department president he had previously tricked.

That guy is indeed quite skilled; if he hadn't run into me, he wouldn't have lost so badly.

The other party is quite skilled and has a lot of connections. If I can train them, they might become a capable subordinate.

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it."

"Yes. However... I have one last question, sir... are you a deity?"

Upon hearing this, even Lu Jingyun and Xue Fei perked up their ears.

Clearly, they are also extremely concerned about this matter.

"The gods..."

Lin Ye's spiritual phantom remained silent for a moment before gradually dissipating.

"You're overthinking it. I'm just an observer wandering among humans."

...

Lin Ye, whose consciousness had returned to the library, let out a long breath and rubbed his temples.

"Remote control combined with the creation of a spiritual court does consume a lot of mental energy. However... it's still within a tolerable range."

This is a good thing, indicating that my total mental strength has increased.

But...the thought of those unknown creatures in the deep sea...

"That's not enough. I need to improve my strength even faster."

Lin Ye began to establish rules for the Divine Court.

This rule is not just a set of rules they need to follow; it also needs a reward and punishment system to truly unleash their initiative and enable them to acquire more resources.

After all, the most important role of subordinates is to prioritize their own improvement.

Improving Lin Ye's strength is the most important issue of all.

He returned to his seat and began to construct a virtual notebook in his mind, listing out various rules one by one.

"Divine Court Rule Number One: Within the Divine Court, the Master's commands are supreme!"

Lin Ye can achieve absolute control, but this point is still listed as the first point, mainly to reinforce their mindset.

"Divine Court Rule Two: Within the Divine Court, no one may coerce another!"

The principle of fairness can prevent division. Even if you can control everyone, you still need to avoid workplace bullying. Strong hatred often comes with great uncertainty. If someone with the surname "Xiao" or "Su" comes along, you will be in big trouble.

"Divine Court Rule Three: Within the Divine Court, a points system is established. The more you contribute to the Divine Court, the more points you earn. Points will advance your level, and different resources can be purchased based on your level. (Contributions include, but are not limited to, completing Divine Court tasks and offering resources)..."

This encouraging system is one of the standard involutionary reward mechanisms in the workplace.

As a finance student, Lin Ye had already learned about this in his major courses, so he was very good at it.

To be honest, during class, everyone, including the other students, was extremely disgusted and resistant to this kind of behavior.

But now that he's the "BOSS," the first thing he does is make his subordinates compete fiercely—that's something else.

"People change after all!"

Lin Ye shook his head and continued to formulate the rules.

"Divine Court Rule Four: No one may reveal the existence of the Divine Court to anyone without the Master's permission; otherwise, they will be killed without exception."

『Divine Court Rule Five: ...』

...

Meanwhile, far away on the eastern island.

Inside the palace.

"Your Majesty, although the Yamashita Group in Dongxia was destroyed, Yamajiro has returned with core experimental data. This enormous genetic wealth will greatly benefit us in the upcoming evolutionary race against Dongxia and the other major federations on Earth!"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the island emperor, Ren Toku.

"Unfortunately, the Yamashita Group contributes at least hundreds of millions of US dollars to us every year!"

"Your Majesty need not be angry. Just consider it as being placed in the hands of the Eastern Xia people for a period of time."

Mr. Saito has obtained that batch of special, mysterious materials from the West. These materials can greatly improve our research and development progress in the field of mecha.

One day, we will once again use our overwhelming power to blast open the gates of Dongxia and reclaim those treasures.

Just like... back then.

Rende nodded slightly.

"The Saito family did a really good job this time, I should reward them with titles."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The two had barely finished speaking when a figure rushed in from outside, suddenly knelt down, and said, trembling all over:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Gil has sunk! The Gil has been bombed and sunk! We've lost all our materials, many of our elite troops have died, and some Eagle Federation celebrities who were on board have also perished."

"What did you say?"

Ren De's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Your Majesty, it's true. The Eagle Federation just sent a telegram demanding an immediate explanation and a huge sum of compensation..."

"Ugh—!"

Upon further confirmation, Rende coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The Gill itself was valuable and served as their secret transport vehicle, but more importantly, it contained a batch of special materials and the genetic experiment data brought back by Yamajiro!

That was the foundation for his escape from the Eagle Federation's control and even for leading the Eastern Island back to its peak!

Everyone was startled and immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."

"Baka! Investigate! Investigate! Find out who did it! I'll make sure he's torn to pieces!"
