A week later, after all this, Hao Gongming calmed down and began to be shocked at herself.
She had actually ordered the death of many male harem members!
"The past me wouldn't have done that! Something is wrong. Killing female harem members and 6th step individuals was normal, but killing male harem members was not at all,"
she thought to herself. "The past me would have forgiven the boys. As expected, that luck did change me into a more bloodthirsty person."
She had suspected it, as after that bright golden light merged with her, she had felt generally more angry.
"Now, let me think. was killing all the harem members who betrayed me a good policy?"
According to her vague feeling, maybe 10 percent of all the boys had cheated on her and were killed, but those who cheated were mostly of low cultivation level and wouldn't have that much effect on her reality points, perhaps only a 1 or 2 percent drop.
"Then yes, it's a good policy and a good deterrent, but I'm still troubled! My way of thinking has changed from before. Now, I don't care much about the harem itself. I care more about the benefits the harem can bring to my power. This is not good. I can't allow myself to be controlled by that bright golden light."
Now, this order has been given and can't be taken back, but she decided to think very carefully about her actions in the future.
"Now that I understand more about reality points, and I really regret not caring about female harem too! In effect, I can double my reality points by establishing a harem there."
Currently, the female harem wouldn't give many reality points because it's not truly her harem.
"If people rely on me, they give reality points, and if they don't, they don't give reality points. Now, the female harem relies on me for many things, but the clones of people like Su and Kang are preventing many reality points from reaching me. Then let's create a skill!"
Male clone: The host can transform her clones to have the appearance of males, and these clones would be fertile.
She had already recreated skills that cloned herself a googol times, and now with this skill, she could make some of them look like males and send them to the female harem to earn a lot of reality points.
"This is also another thing that the former me wouldn't have done. Overall, I'm more power-hungry now. What was that bright golden light?"
What she didn't see was the blood-red tinge that was on the bright golden light.
"Anyway, let's do this!"
She created a lot of clones and made many of them appear male, resembling her twin.
Everyone would think these clones were her, but in male form with male organs. "But if we go like this, would those in the female harem like it? I mean, these clones look extremely feminine!" She pondered deeply and sighed.
"It's trial and error! Let's see what happens. If the birth rates were too low, we'll alter it and maybe even create a skill that gives my clones random, normal male appearances."
Then she opened a taxi portal and sent most of the male clones and a few female clones to the female harem, while keeping most of the female clones and a few male clones in the male harem.
"Good, the problem in the harem is solved, and now I should gain even more reality points. Also, this world that I created can support more people, so let's create another spell."
Triplets: Every pregnancy will produce triplets in the targeted area for 1000 years.
She cast this spell throughout the entire female harem area. Since her clones still couldn't carry pregnancies, she used the female harem to produce more harem members.
"Also, we have a problem with DNA. If all the new children become my children, then after a while, the sect will be destroyed by genetic diseases." While she could cure all kinds of diseases, there were better ways, such as this spell.
Random human DNA: All male clones of host have randomly generated DNA.
As for why it still says "host," it's because Hao Gongming herself writes the descriptions and didn't want to change the style. She is no longer the host of any system and is directly using reality points.
"With this, all the problems that the harem has are solved. According to my estimates, at most, this soil world's resources can support a population of no more than 90 digits. Any more than that, and we won't have enough food, and I would have to spend reality points on food, which doesn't make sense at all. So I have to stop all pregnancies after reaching that number."
These calculations have taken into account the destruction of all non-haremable species and keeping only the most productive plants for food, using worms for protein, etc. It was optimized to the maximum.
"Now I only have to wait for reality points to come! I believe that I can invade other simulations after earning enough reality points."
Normally, one can't attack simulations. That was a rule of the real world, stating that anyone from outside simulations couldn't attack or influence them. Now that she was inside the simulations, technically it wasn't an invasion but rather a move from one part to another.
"From what I learned from Gao Feng, anyone above the 9th step would be ejected from the simulations, but anyone below it would be able to remain. That means there may be people at the 9th step in the simulations. I'm not sure about killing a 9th step."
A few days ago, Kang captured Gao Feng and handed him over to Hao Gongming. Gao Feng leaked sensitive information, so subjecting him to hell on earth seemed appropriate.
But before doing that, she interrogated him and learned a lot about this soil world called simulation, discovering that there were many simulations and many more interesting things.
Afterwards, she threw him into the 4th hell on earth, where he is now screaming.
Now she's just waiting to collect enough reality points to be confident enough to defeat 9th step individuals.
She wasn't worried about her real body either.
After leaving the soil and reaching the 10th step, simulations became forbidden land. And as we know, everyone must enter simulations to reach the 10th step, so in fact, anyone at the 10th step and above is forbidden from entering.
So how is it that her real body sent her clones in? Wouldn't that violate this rule? After all, the clones are considered a form of entry. The rules of the real world can't be fooled so easily!
That's when she realized the real reason she could rebel against her real body.
Any clones that were completely loyal and subordinate to the real body wouldn't be able to enter, and only clones with differences from the real body, not subordinate and without any memories, could barely evade the rules of the real world and enter.
Therefore, if there were any clones of the real body in other simulations, they wouldn't be loyal to her and wouldn't attack her madly. She wasn't afraid of any other 9th step individuals because she could use reality points, and with enough of them, she had no worries.
The only thing that made her hesitate was the real body. Knowing that her real body couldn't have any loyal clones inside, she was no longer worried about it.
"Good, now I just have to wait a while to gather enough reality points before moving to other simulations. But before that, let's go to the body of that 8th step worm."
She used a portal and disappeared.
…
The body of the worm was the only place in the soil that remained untouched by Hao Gongming's subordinates.
The sky was blood red, and the ground was littered with blood stones.
In some areas, there were mountains with holes, as if one could enter and delve deeper.
Monsters could be seen everywhere, feeding on blood stones and on each other. However, no monster above the 5th step existed, as the 6th step required a root that practically didn't exist anymore after Gray stole the worm creature's root.
At that moment, Hao Gongming appeared. Many chaotic monsters immediately gathered and began attacking her. She waved her hand, causing all the monsters within a 100,000-mile radius to explode and die.
Hao Gongming didn't even want to touch these chaotic monsters as they looked filthy.
"Okay, now let's get everything done quickly."
She had spent a significant amount of reality points to create this skill:
Treasure Tracker: Detect any treasures within a radius of 100,000 miles of the host.
She activated this skill and smiled. She discovered many treasures in the vicinity.
"It has to be intentional! How can there be so many treasures on this 8th step monster?"
She sensed that there was a mystery surrounding this worm. Just as she was about to open portals and collect the treasures, her expression changed, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "It's still alive!"
