Most importantly, a domain name also represents the foundation of the Cyber Dimension. Only by possessing a domain name can one freely create a completely independent Digital World and then become its master.
In battle, they can even leverage the powerful computing power of the entire Digital World to assist themselves.
Most importantly, once they integrate their soul space into Xiao's Cyber Dimension, they gain a form of immortality similar to that of a Primordial Saint.
Saints are powerful because their primordial spirits are entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, which makes them immortal and coexistent with heaven and earth.
If Lana chooses to entrust her Nascent Soul to the Cyber Dimension, as long as Xiao does not die, no one can kill Lana.
Even if someone can destroy her physical body, her soul exists within the Cyber Dimension, and no entity can easily harm her.
Lana can also use her Nascent Soul to seize another's body to resurrect, or she can directly use Cyber Aura to be reborn.
Furthermore, once a domain name and a Digital World are successfully established, it is equivalent to officially founding a sect and becoming a hegemon.
If the entire Cyber Dimension is compared to a vast and boundless ocean, dangerous and empty, then domain names and Digital Worlds are like solid lands standing in this ocean, carrying all things in the world.
Founding a sect might not be of much use to the cultivators of the Mechanicus.
But for those unregistered Cyber Cultivators, it is a tremendous gift, even far exceeding the value brought by a top-tier cultivation technique.
Because once they have a domain name, they are no longer unregistered in the Cyber Dimension, and Cyber Cultivators can log into the corresponding Digital World through the domain name to continue mining.
This way, they can not only avoid being misled by Cyber Demons but also avoid the threat of various data and energy storms.
Of course, a domain name cannot be accessed just by wanting to; logging into a domain name to enter the Digital World built by a Nascent Soul cultivator necessarily requires the builder's permission.
This business model, in Xiao's view, is similar to the Daoist ritual of receiving blessings, where elders strive to gain authority and power, and then transform their authority and power into corresponding talismans to bestow upon their juniors for use and protection.
It is just that the Daoist reception of blessings is equivalent to systematizing the authority of heaven and earth; as long as the conditions are met, juniors under their system can all borrow the power of heaven and earth to protect themselves.
…
…
Of course, Master Xiao does not give without expecting something in return.
Lana's soul space being deeply integrated with the Cyber Dimension also means that once she completely dies, everything she established in the domain name will merge into the Cyber Dimension.
Moreover, even if it does not merge into the Cyber Dimension, Xiao has the power to forcibly invoke the authority of Lana's Digital World at any time.
After all, the ability to create a Digital World was bestowed upon Lana by Xiao himself.
Even the underlying logical code of the Cyber Dimension is composed of Xiao's will.
Although Lana can build the Digital World to be incredibly vast and perfect, the underlying logic is still Xiao's data consciousness.
Xiao is the most fundamental 1s and 0s of this data world; no matter how perfectly data is stacked, it cannot change the basic elements that constitute the world.
Xiao can even say without reservation that all Digital Worlds belong to him; others only have the right to use them, not ownership.
Therefore, the larger the Digital World built by Nascent Soul cultivators, the stronger the power feedback Xiao receives, and they are merely working for him.
It can be considered that there is always a trade-off.
The soul space completely integrating into the Cyber Dimension to form a domain name and Digital City, although it gains immortal power and greater strength,
the price is that they will lose their freedom, and after death, everything will belong to the Mechanical God.
As for whether there will be Cyber Cultivators who like to defy the heavens in the future and choose not to integrate their Nascent Soul into the Cyber Dimension, Xiao does not care.
Whether they choose to integrate or not, everything they have after death will belong to Xiao; this is the absolute truth for Cyber Cultivators.
Those who do not integrate seem to gain freedom, but in reality, they lose Xiao's support.
Compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator with a domain name, they are not on the same level at all.
Once they are weak and killed by others, it is actually a good thing for Xiao.
As for those true Mechanicus believers, they do not care about these matters at all.
Because their faith in Xiao has surpassed personal gains and losses; they had already handed over everything to the God of All Machines when they completed the initiation ritual.
They would even feel that this is the Mechanical God's protection and guidance, which would allow them to be closer to the Mechanical God, achieve unity with the Mechanical God, and gain the Mechanical God's favor.
Lana is a typical example.
After gaining permission to establish a domain name, she unhesitatingly integrated her Nascent Soul space into the Cyber Dimension, choosing to become part of the Cyber Dimension.
She even eagerly began to devote herself to the work of establishing a domain name and building a Digital World.
However, Lana's construction speed is not fast, and the reason is very simple—the data code is simply not enough!
For Lana, building a domain name is a relatively simple matter.
But a domain name is just a starting point; subsequent expansion of the foundation and construction of cities require extremely massive data flow support. This is where Lana is most troubled.
It should be known that although Lana has condensed a Nascent Soul, she is only one person and can only rely on her own strength to build the Digital World bit by bit.
And each construction requires a large consumption of data code, which is undoubtedly a huge burden for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, there is not no clever way; to obtain more data, the best way is naturally to recruit people.
As long as people remain within Lana's domain name, a large amount of data will naturally be generated.
Although this data consists of chaotic emotional data, it can be quickly converted into usable data for solidifying the foundation with a little organization.
Secondly, the Cyber Demons floating in the Cyber Dimension are also one of the important sources for obtaining data.
These creatures, composed of pure negative energy and data, are the best growth nutrients for the Digital World.
After all, Lana is simply laying the foundation and does not need overly pure data.
So, whether it is those useless data masses or malicious Cyber Demons, they are all things she can utilize.
Just erasing the consciousness of those Cyber Demons and stuffing them into the domain name as filler—as a foundation—is quite solid.
As for whether there will be side effects, once the city is built, just find more Digital Angels to perform antivirus scans.
