In his conception, the future "Ling Shu Network" would be like the network he was familiar with in his previous life, omnipresently covering every Spirit Master, and ultimately permeating the daily lives of all living beings.
And during this process, collecting a tiny, insignificant "fee"—that's perfectly reasonable, isn't it?
This fee can be divided into two parts: one is the trace amount of spirit power required to maintain the network's operation, and the other is the idle computing power of the user's Soul.
The former will be a more efficient, concealed, and sustainable method of Energy collection than simply selling or customizing artificial spirit rings.
Imagine, if a person is using the "Ling Shu Network" constantly, it is almost equivalent to that person constantly transmitting spirit power to him.
Once his plan to popularize cultivation among all citizens is complete, the "Ling Shu Network" will cover all living beings across the entire Douluo Plane.
At that time, it would be equivalent to gathering the strength of the entire Plane to continuously sustain him alone!
One person is few, three people are many.
Gathering the power of all living beings to quickly accumulate Energy—this seems to be the Dao more suitable for him.
In a sense, viewed from the perspective of traditional ascension to godhood through faith, his actions seem somewhat similar to harvesting the Power Of Faith to forge a God Position.
The first generation Sea God collected faith to achieve Divine Rank; Kong Mingan uses the "spiritual pivot" to forge a network, collecting spirit power to condense a "star ring."
It is merely a difference in path but a unity in goal, both being a manifestation of the power of all living beings?
The above only concerns the spirit power aspect, and the "Soul Computing Power Unit" is even more analogous.
First, it must be known that every Spirit Master, and even every living being, cannot utilize 100% of their own Soul computing power; there is always a large amount of "idle resources."
And it is precisely this point that he intends to exploit.
Every user connected to the "Ling Shu Network" will bear the load of maintaining their connection to the "Ling Shu Network." Of course, this load is not high, perhaps only occupying one percent or even less of their Soul computing power.
Building upon this foundation, he can additionally levy a small portion, such as another one percent of idle computing power.
Integrating these scattered Soul Computing Power Units will form a massive distributed computing network, assisting him in deductions and thoughts that far exceed the limits of individual mental capacity.
This way, he can greatly improve his thinking efficiency, automatically advancing matters where the direction of thought is already determined but only requires tedious deduction and calculation, leaving him more time to contemplate other things.
Concurrently, every connected user is inherently a natural, miniature signal base station.
Their existence itself emits faint fluctuations of "mental sharing," like stones cast into a lake, continuously expanding the coverage and signal strength of the "Ling Shu Network."
Now, his plan is clear.
First, he will conduct internal testing and optimization of the existing "Ling Shu Network." Once stable, he will bundle it with the artificial spirit ring system and gradually introduce it to the market.
Of course, specifics regarding packaging and promotion can be handed over to Ju Zi, as she is the expert in these matters.
However, before promoting the "Ling Shu Network," he must also resolve the issue of the "spiritual pivot's" volume capacity.
Currently, the upper limit of this "spiritual pivot" spirit ring, which acts as the main unit, is roughly equivalent to carrying 1,000 standard "Soul Computing Power Units."
And now, nearly one-third of this upper limit is already in use.
This limited capacity is barely sufficient for personal auxiliary research, but if he wishes it to carry the torrent of information that will eventually cover a city or even an entire Plane, it is akin to trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.
He needs a more powerful carrier to replace it, or he must directly perform a deeper level of modification on the "spiritual pivot" itself.
At the very least, when modifying the "spiritual pivot," he incorporated some of the demi-plane construction techniques taught by Electrolux, as well as the spatial expansion principles of high-tier storage spirit tools, which greatly enhanced its initial carrying capacity.
If he wishes to continue expanding capacity later, the direction is simply to further enhance its internal spatial stability and information carrying performance, while adding more "Soul Thread" interfaces.
In a sense, is he attempting to create a virtualized demi-plane exclusively for himself?
Elder Yi's demi-plane was used to carry the army of the dead, while his "demi-plane" would serve as the core host, bearing the "Soul Threads" and processing vast amounts of information, becoming the beating heart of the "Ling Shu Network."
This counts as a new direction for development, the only problem being... the "spiritual pivot" is his spirit ring!
Modifying one of his own spirit rings in the direction of a demi-plane... Kong Mingan wasn't entirely sure what the "spiritual pivot" would eventually turn into, but he figured... it would be very interesting?
Kong Mingan was extremely expectant of this.
Of course, at this stage, this initial version of the "spiritual pivot" is sufficient for his personal use. Large-scale distribution later can be done slowly; there is no need to rush.
After all, if he expands, he will have to rewrite the "lingshu protocol."
As the underlying rules and logic system that maintains the core of the "spiritual pivot," the "Soul Computing Power Unit," and the operation of the entire "Ling Shu Network," constructing the "lingshu protocol" genuinely costs a lot of brain cells.
Out of two months of research time, he finished the parts concerning the "spiritual pivot," the "Soul Computing Power Unit," and the "Ling Shu Network" in ten days. The remaining time was entirely spent perfecting the "lingshu protocol."
Since he spent so much time on it, the results were naturally excellent.
It can assist him in research, handling extremely complex deductions and calculations.
Specifically, he proposes a direction or problem, and the "lingshu protocol" distributes it through the "spiritual pivot" to the Soul Computing Power Units for processing, finally aggregating the results back within the "spiritual pivot" and delivering them to him.
Essentially, he can run it on autopilot.
But there is no gain without loss; constructing this thing consumed too many brain cells. In any case, he temporarily didn't want to touch it. Since it was running, he would test the functions first; rebuilding and rewriting it could wait until later.
Kong Mingan looked toward the Ice Empress, who was sitting very close beside him, currently connected to the "Ling Shu Network" and playing Tetris and Spider Solitaire.
Yes, his brain was quite overloaded while writing the "lingshu protocol," so he coded a few small games and put them into the "Ling Shu Network," treating the coding process as rest and relaxation.
Now, it seemed to be working out quite well?
Kong Mingan smiled slightly and did not disturb the Ice Empress, as she was technically helping him test the stability of the "Ling Shu Network."
Clearing his mind of distractions, Kong Mingan softly called out in his heart.
"spiritual pivot."
[I am here, Creator.]
"Check the deduction progress of important matters."
[Matter 01: "star ring · Universal Method," Computing Power Occupancy: 50%, Deduction Progress: 3.62%, Estimated Completion Time: Six months and six days.]

[Matter 03: "Spirit Beast · Universal Form Transformation Art," Computing Power Occupancy: 25%, Deduction Progress: 16.66%, Estimated Completion Time: Twenty-one days.]
Kong Mingan revealed a satisfied expression.
This feeling of sitting back and waiting for the harvest is truly wonderful.
