After the initial shock, the two God Kings quickly offered their professional advice.
With the current level of technology in the God Realm, achieving a similar effect was not entirely impossible—but it would require a massive investment of special resources.
First and foremost, there needed to be a completely independent, special space to serve as a temporary hub for souls.
Destruction suggested that the Five Great God Kings could join forces with the God of Space to open such a space.
However, Nangong Lingyun thought of a special location instead—the Dragon Graveyard.Not only did it perfectly meet the requirements, it also contained a vast accumulation of dragon souls and dragon bones.
Second came the core formation used to detect and attract soul entities, as well as a dedicated divine artifact to control that core formation.
The former's blueprint had already been purchased from the system. It was not fundamentally different from the small-scale formations inside the Spirit Transmission Tower—the only differences were power output and coverage range.
As for the latter, there was still a large surplus of faith power left over. He could take some time later to refine a suitable artifact.
Third, a powerful overseer was required.
Soul entities still possessed consciousness. And where there is consciousness, there are conflicts and disputes. Without an absolute powerhouse to suppress them, chaos would inevitably erupt.
After all, formations were dead objects and could only operate according to preset rules.
This point was even simpler to resolve.
The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were perfectly suited for the role. They were originally deities themselves, and also the earliest undead to join the undead space.
Whether in terms of power level, familiarity with the internal conditions, or loyalty, they were the optimal choices.
Finally—and most importantly—the energy source.
Operating the formations, transforming souls into undead, and undead cultivation all consumed massive amounts of energy.
Even if he were willing to personally supply the Myriad Spirits Platform with great effort, once he entered the God Realm, doing so would become extremely difficult.
Divine power transmitted from the God Realm to Douluo Star would suffer enormous losses while traversing the vast universe and the omnipresent chaotic energy.
Therefore, it had to be self-sustaining.
Much like how over ninety-nine percent of those who entered the City of Slaughter eventually became killing intent and Yellow Spring Dew—otherwise, it would ultimately be nothing more than a fleeting flash.
Nangong Lingyun waved his hand, instantly "creating" a cultivation method exclusive to soul entities and undead: The Yin Soul Art.
With countless new laborers added, he would later simply skim a portion of the cultivation power produced by all undead within the Myriad Spirits Platform Plane according to a fixed ratio, neatly resolving the issue.
With the general plan established, Nangong Lingyun did not rush into action. Instead, he went into seclusion for a period of time.
After becoming a god, his strength had been growing at a rapid pace. Only after fully transforming his divine power and divine body, and becoming thoroughly familiar with divine laws, could he reach his peak state.
Additionally, due to the special nature of the Longevity Art, his own explosive growth in strength could also be shared with those around him through dual cultivation, allowing everyone to benefit together.
With such an extensive harem, individually comforting and "educating" the girls was itself a long and arduous task.
Here, joy was abundant—and Shu was forgotten.
Two months passed just like that.
On this morning, Nangong Lingyun slowly opened his eyes, sensing that his strength was almost unchanged compared to yesterday.
He knew that the post-ascension rapid growth phase had ended. From here on, either he activated cheats—or he would have to rely on slow, incremental refinement.
He murmured:
"It's about time."
"About time for what?"
Beside him, Gu Yue'er and Gu Na'er heard the sound and, as if by telepathy, simultaneously rolled up and sat upright, purple eyes gleaming with intense curiosity.
The two were identical in appearance—even their tone, cadence, and vocal timbre were exactly the same. Their movements often unconsciously synchronized, making them difficult to distinguish at a glance unless one paid special attention.
Because their movement was too sudden, the crimson quilt embroidered with dragon-and-phoenix patterns slid off their fragrant shoulders, instantly filling the room with spring scenery.
Perfect skin.Perfect figures.Perfect temperament.
Aside from "perfect," there was almost no other suitable description.
Truly—
Eyes like autumn water, bones like jade;A face like lotus, brows like willow;A single glance back brings a hundred charms to life;The powdered beauties of the six palaces lose all color.
The corners of Nangong Lingyun's mouth couldn't help but curl upward in satisfaction.
A real man, living in this world—this is how it should be.
"Go gather the members of the training camp. Today I'll give them one final lesson. After that, there will be a graduation ceremony, and the camp will be officially disbanded."
"Ah? Disbanded already?"
"You're already a Soul Douluo. In terms of combat strength, even ordinary Super Douluo can't compare to you. The others are all Soul Sages or Soul Emperors now too. Is it really appropriate for you to keep staying in the academy as students?"
"The empire has just been founded. Every field and every region is in desperate need of talent. Graduating early to become beasts of burden—ah no, to shine and contribute bravely—is the proper path."
"You let the truth slip out, didn't you? Hmph!"
Gu Na'er shot him a look that pretended to be fierce but was actually overflowing with charm. Then she quickly got dressed, and with a flash, vanished from the room.
Being placed together with the original body—such a decision that betrayed the ancestors—she'd probably keep stubbornly resisting for at least three to five days as a show of protest.
Nangong Lingyun didn't mind at all.
Unlike true feudal emperors, he had no intention of using rigid rules to mold everyone into the same personality. That would leave nothing but playing cards—far too dull.
Orchids have their beauty, and roses have theirs. What he wanted was a riot of colors—each beautiful in its own way.
Half an hour later, at the brand-new elite training camp site of Kaiyuan Academy, beneath a shaded pavilion, thirty-six people bowed in unison.
With a single glance, even the weakest among them now had rock-solid auras and presence.
Ten years from now, once they matured, they would become the backbone of the new generation of the empire.
If not for their young age and lack of experience, purely in terms of strength, several of them could already shoulder major responsibilities.
"Find seats and sit down. No need to be tense."
Nangong Lingyun casually sat on a nearby railing and spoke as gently as possible:
"I have a tendency toward perfectionism. I always try to make everything as flawless as possible.
"As the lead instructor, I've been thinking for a long time about how to give you all a sufficiently special and unforgettable graduation ceremony.
"Then one day, it suddenly occurred to me—
"I've taught you countless soul power techniques, combat skills, martial knowledge, and methods of killing…
"But I've never taught you what kind of person you should become.
"To learn without thinking leads to confusion; to think without learning leads to peril. Sometimes, knowing why you fight is more important than knowing how to fight.
"However, considering that some people don't like listening to grand principles—and even if they do listen, it may not have much effect—please watch the VCR."
Nangong Lingyun lightly snapped his fingers.
A subtle spiritual fluctuation flashed by, and in an instant, everyone around him was pulled into a strange illusionary realm with clarity comparable to actual transmigration.
In an unknown small mountain village, Gu Na'er slowly opened her eyes.
She discovered that she had become a six-year-old little girl, wearing coarse linen clothes that didn't fit her at all. The surrounding houses were crude and simple—not quite destitute, but at least missing three of the four walls.
