I logged into the God panel.

Lu Daosheng is now facing a very serious problem.

Only with an interface can one enter the virtual digital world... or the network world.

In the spirit world, on the chairs of this steam train, the [virtual ghost] can be elevated to the [digital master].

"Wouldn't that be a complete waste?"

He muttered to himself, frowning, "Unless I establish a continuous and stable passage from the spirit world to reality..."

And it also needs to be directly connected to reality....

"Speaking of which, where in reality does this correspond to?"

Lu Daosheng sat in the steam train, rubbing his chin, then stood up and stepped off the train.

He wandered through this enormous vortex, avoiding the remains of the giant beast and the golden spear, until he reached out and touched a broken carriage.

There is still a faint ice flow.

"Therefore, although the steam train was broken into many sections, it was still a 'whole' in itself."

"Could I take that wooden chair down and bring it back to reality?"

He hesitated, deciding to first see where this corresponded to in reality.

Actively suppressing his fallen divinity to avoid a repeat of the hymn incident in Donghai City, Lu Daosheng attracted a large amount of chaotic energy and carefully enveloped himself.

After making all the preparations,

He reached out and gently brushed against the drifting colors and tender whispers.

The portal to the spirit world slowly opened, and because it was inside a massive vortex, the portal appeared to flicker and sway.

"have a look."

Lu Daosheng muttered to himself as he cautiously entered the doorway. His vision suddenly darkened, then cleared again.

wind.

Gale!

An incredibly violent gale blew in, causing the chaotic colors enveloping his spiritual body to fade rapidly.

His expression changed, and before the frenzied colors completely faded, he looked around.

It is high in the sky.

That's right... the enormous vortex in the spirit world is located at a very high altitude.

Lu Daosheng looked down again, his gaze piercing through the thick, colliding clouds in the gale, and fixed on the earth.

He didn't see the earth; instead, he saw an island floating thousands of meters in the air, surrounded by the ruins of collapsed and destroyed cities.

At the very heart of the ruins stands a perfectly intact, towering church.

The church is magnificent and imposing, entirely black, and covers a vast area, almost like a castle.

A tiny, blurry figure can be seen in the clock tower on the side.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

The figure struck the bell three times. The bell's sound was vast, piercing through the gale and reaching the heavens, shaking Lu Daosheng's mind.

Lu Daosheng abruptly turned back to the Spirit Realm and closed the portal.

[Due to the current special circumstances, the Gravity Crown has been temporarily upgraded: Fallen Divinity]

"Huff... Huff..."

He breathed softly, his violently turbulent mind suddenly calming down. "A suspended island, a collapsed city, and a huge, dark church, the bell ringer..."

"Where is that?"

Lu Daosheng murmured, his brows furrowed—in any case, the idea of ​​creating a stable channel to the spirit world and then bringing it in through the net of reality had been shattered.

Then we'll have to try disassembling the chair.

half an hour.

After calming himself down, Lu Daosheng tried to push the [Falling Divinity] to its limit; space and time even warped violently, but...

The chair didn't move an inch.

"The sealing artifact created by the previous generation of fellow villagers in collaboration with the god of science is actually this sturdy...?"

Lu Daosheng was somewhat exhausted and helpless.

There are 107 such steam trains.

"The true god is probably more powerful than I imagined. Fortunately, the four gods could only cast their gazes that day and could not come in person... It seems that even if they had come, they might not have been able to find me."

He paced back and forth, his brow furrowed. Was the power of digital domination going to be wasted?

No, no.

"Looking at it this way, the approach still comes back to the 'net-pulling' strategy... Perhaps I can start with the 'folded passage'?"

After thinking about it,

Lu Daosheng gathered a wisp of chaotic spirituality, held it in his hand, and instantly jumped back to a distant place through the collapse point.

He still held the spiritual thread in his hand, connecting it to the other end—even Lu Daosheng's spiritual power could flow along the spiritual thread and clearly perceive the steam train.

"feasible."

His thoughts raced. "The next step is to choose a location and open up a stable passage to the spirit world, so that we can begin the next round of attempts."

"In Donghai City... it seems that Lin Shuen is about to be promoted to the third tier of Grand Priest, and he is also the Dean of the Ether Academy."

"Huang Yu's influence in the West District is also rapidly expanding. In just one month, he is showing signs of becoming the leader of the West District's underground scene..."

After pondering for a long time,

Lu Daosheng sighed softly.

Neither of them is suitable; neither can be used to guard the passage to the spirit world.

To be more precise, the entire Donghai City is not suitable – although it appears calm at the moment, undercurrents are surging, and countless eyes are fixed on Donghai City!

"Huang Yu is being targeted. Lin Shu'en has the Knight Commander and the old priest above him, and he also belongs to the Zhouguang Academy, so he must be coveted by the Sun Church."

"I need a remote, truly unremarkable county town, or even a township."

He was talking to himself.

…………

The following day, Saturday.

"I'm not sleeping on the floor in your room!" Lu Yu said angrily. "I'll just sleep in the same room as my little brother."

"No." Lu Daosheng rolled his eyes. "You're going to kick me off the bed."

Lu Yu's eyes widened:

"That happened when you were five years old—why are you so vengeful?"

"Because the bump from that fall swelled up for almost a month!"

"oops!"

Lu Yu is making a scene.

Father Chen smiled and began:

"Clean up the room. I'll sleep in the living room first. Lu Yu is favored by God and blessed by the Lord; how can he sleep on the floor?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Yu nodded frantically.

"What's right about it?" Zhao Baiqin glared at her daughter. "Clerk Chen is a guest. How can you let a guest sleep in the living room?"

"As for your younger brother, he's almost eleven years old, a big boy now, so the two of you can't sleep in the same bed anymore."

Lu Yu stood with her hands on her hips, sulking.

"Then I'll sleep at Mint's tonight and come back in the morning."

The couple exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's not impossible."

Beside him, Father Chen still wore that very standard smile:

"My eldest daughter is a chosen one of God, and my second son is also an A-level student at my White Elephant Academy. How about I apply to the church and get approval for a house next to the church, so Officer Lu and his family can move in?"

After pausing, he added:

"It's close to the church, many priests and clergy live there, and it's especially safe. We can also arrange for more priests to protect everyone... It's worth it for the families of those favored by God."

This time, Priest Chen spoke with utmost seriousness—those favored by God are treasured in any denomination.

If they become holy sons or daughters in the future, their importance will be comparable to, or even greater than, numbered sealed artifacts.

Lu Tianyang and Zhao Baiqin exchanged a glance, but both smiled and politely declined.

"No need, I'm used to living in this old house, and I've known all the neighbors for many years. We have a deep bond."

Father Chen's eyes flickered slightly, he nodded, and offered no further advice.

We've had lunch.

"I'm going out to play." Lu Daosheng threw down his chopsticks and was about to rush out the door.

"I want to go too!" Lu Yu followed, only to be coldly stopped by her younger brother. "What are you doing hanging out with us, you big kid? Everyone do their own thing!"

Lu Daosheng dashed out of the house, making Lu Yu stomp her feet in anger.

The couple exchanged another glance, feeling somewhat relieved.

Their eldest daughter is now favored by the gods and has a limitless future. Their biggest worry is their youngest son... who is too withdrawn.

They were afraid that Daosheng would feel unbalanced because of Lu Yu's achievements and become even more withdrawn.

Now things are looking good; at least the kids are willing to go out and play...

"I heard from the teachers at the academy that Daosheng and that girl named Li Qiuhua are getting very close," Lu Tianyang said thoughtfully.

Zhao Baiqin glanced at her husband and said reproachfully:

"The child is so young, what, you're already thinking about a 'child bride'?"

Lu Tianyang scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

…………

An internet cafe outside Sunshine Elementary School.

Lu Daosheng was curled up in a corner seat, his computer was on, but he was lying on the table as if he was dozing off.

The spiritual entity had silently entered the virtual digital world—and then quickly withdrew.

Contrary to my expectations, activating a virtual ghost does allow one to roam the digital world, but what if one wants to interfere with or rewrite digital information?

That's too tiring.

Moreover, the data flow on the internet is too massive, making it difficult to find the answers you want... you still have to rely on data.

"If it's just a virtual ghost, then the online world can be used as a 'transfer station' and 'sanctuary'."

"A spiritual entity can infiltrate it at any time, emerging from another electronic device far away through the network world..."

Lu Daosheng murmured to himself as he typed away on the keyboard.

"This is good."

He stared at the computer webpage, which showed a county town that was also within the Silver Moon Province, but located on a small island near the coast, with a very low profile.

"Xiangye County has a population of 500,000. Its economy is relatively backward and poor. There are no churches dedicated to the four major gods. It has a specialized college, but no proper university."

"Easy to control"

"You're the one."

If you were in charge of a county, the benefits...wouldn't be considerable?
