Regarding the management of the Blue Silver Network and the Starry World, Electrolux had once suggested creating a program akin to the Heavenly Dao, using the power of faith to assist in governance. The materials required were mental strength and the power of faith.
Currently, Tang San did not lack mental strength.
During the usage of the Blue Silver Network by members of the Spirit Hall, they would inadvertently disperse some of their unimportant mental strength into the Starry World. This dissipated portion could be restored through rest, and this process slowly enhanced their own mental strength and quality.
Not to mention, criminals like the Fallen Ones, whose souls fell into the Starry World after death, were studied by the Spirit Hall personnel authorized by Tang San.
The mental power dissipated during the torment of these souls was considerable!
Moreover, the souls of those who had not committed major crimes in life, after dying naturally in the Starry World, would leave behind their indestructible true spirits and soul remnants, generating immense mental energy during this process.
As for the power of faith, following the Continental Elite Tournament, Tang San had countless admirers, with immense faith converging into him.
Previously, he couldn't utilize it.
Now, having condensed his soul into a primordial spirit, he could touch these powers of faith. However, Tang San chose not to absorb them directly but planned to combine them with mental strength with Electrolux's help to create a program to manage the entire Starry World.
"Creating a world management program is no easy task. The best way is to mimic the heavens and earth," Electrolux marveled at the power of faith surrounding Tang San's primordial spirit, a pure white sea. "This much faith power is enough for someone to become a demigod. But absorbing this power of faith to become a demigod would inevitably influence one's character, amplifying various negative emotions… treating all life as ants would likely become the norm."
"So, there's truth in the saying: 'Faith is poisonous.'" Tang San raised his hand, and the sea of faith power around him compressed and gathered, forming star-like points that spiraled into his palm.
It was as if Tang San was holding a galaxy!
This was the true manifestation of "holding the sun and moon and picking the stars"!
"In terms of showing off, among all the real people I've met in my 'previous life' and this life, I, Electrolux, consider you the strongest!" Electrolux's expression was exaggerated.
"I regret showing you Naruto," Tang San said, rubbing his forehead as if exasperated, while the other hand continued to manipulate the spiral galaxy of faith power, drawing in mental strength from the Starry World.
As the mental strength gathered, the galaxy of faith power continued to grow, eventually floating from Tang San's palm to hover above their heads.
Electrolux immediately constructed a magical array, with elements of water, fire, earth, wind, metal, ice, poison, death, light, darkness, life, space, and time, wrapping around the combined faith and mental power, mimicking the outer world's heavens.
During this process, Tang San was not idle, manipulating the stars within, gathering them into 365 faith-mental fused "stars," forming the Great Celestial Star Array. This allowed the faith power and mental strength to flow and actively draw in more faith power from Tang San and mental strength from the Starry World.
"It has stabilized. Next, we need to mimic the operational mechanisms of the intelligent AI within the soul-guided mechas surrounding the Golden Ancient Tree and perform 'programmatic setting.'"
Electrolux did not fully understand the soul-guided mechas' internal smart brains, but he had recorded their basic operational methods for reference.
Thus, a program constructed from faith power and mental strength was completed!
The "Heavenly Dao" that appeared before Tang San and Electrolux resembled a human brain, vast as a mountain, yet with a perfectly smooth surface without a single wrinkle.
If a normal person's brain surface were this smooth, they'd definitely be considered an idiot or fool.
If the world had a brain, this one would surely be brain-dead.
"It's a bit rough."
Despite this, Tang San was quite pleased. After all, no matter how rough it was, it was still a "Heavenly Dao," even if just for a virtual world.
Moreover, Tang San found that when his mental strength connected with it, it felt as if he had gained an extraordinarily powerful brain, making his logical thinking nearly a thousand times faster. Problems that had previously been unclear could now be quickly understood, with multiple solutions deduced.
The first benefit of this Heavenly Dao brain was the increased efficiency of thought processes!
As long as he had enough knowledge, he could simulate scenarios through this Heavenly Dao brain, quickly reaching the desired results in a very short time.
The second benefit was that this Heavenly Dao brain could assist in managing the entire Starry World and the Blue Silver Network. It could even filter out offensive language, replacing it with asterisks.
Additionally, Tang San noticed that the space was more solid than before. Though still a virtual world, it could actively draw space fragments and plane fragments from the cosmic void, using them as resources for growth.
"For now, this is sufficient. Moreover, this Heavenly Dao can grow on its own, and the wrinkles on its cortex will increase, but that requires us to explore the vast universe first."
Electrolux smiled, taking out the Throne of the Kind and Deathly Soul Seal, linking its aura with the Heavenly Dao brain, causing the eighteen layers of space to connect with this virtual starry world. "Alright, the eighteen layers of hell in this world have been preliminarily established. You should inform the spirit masters of Spirit Hall to conduct their research in these eighteen spaces. The ghostly avatars from the throne can transform into various torture instruments to assist in dissecting the souls of the fallen."
"No problem." Tang San wouldn't refuse anything that would aid the research on indestructible true spirits and soul remnants. As for the humanity of the process... the fallen had already abandoned their human identity and any shred of humanity, so they didn't deserve to be treated as humans.
"What should we name this brain?" Electrolux stroked his beard. "Super Brain? Celestial Brain? Brain of Faith and Spirit?"
Tang San pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "The path of the heavens, overseeing all, thus named: Heavenly Dao!"
Electrolux remained silent for a while before softly remarking, "That's so pretentious."
"After all, men are boys at heart!" Tang San smiled slightly, adding, "And besides, you, who dared to 'hold the sun and moon and pluck the stars,' have no right to call me pretentious."
