This reminded him of Lilith's cultivation of the Shadow World.
Though the nature might have been different, both bound the spirits and fates of countless individuals to a certain Supreme Being.
What he sought was for Blue Star civilization to become strong on its own, not to create a new divine kingdom centered around himself.
Then what about Rule Seeds?
Shen Yi thought of the ongoing selection process and preliminary trials.
Rule Seeds could directly grant individuals the potential to come into contact with, comprehend, and wield the power of higher-level rules. Their upper limit was extremely high.
But as he had worried, this model could not be widely adopted.
On the one hand, Rule Seeds were deeply bound to the source of his own power. Producing and granting them on a large scale would severely drain his strength and might even shake the foundation of his Authority.
On the other hand, once an immense disparity in power became fixed and apparent among a small number of individuals, it could easily provoke unease, jealousy, and even division among ordinary people.
When a handful of people possessed power almost equal to that of gods while the vast majority remained ordinary, the social structure would face a severe test.
That ran contrary to his original intention of raising Blue Star's overall strength.
What about the technological path?
Shen Yi naturally thought of that route.
It was the path Blue Star was currently taking, and also the safest and most broadly acceptable one.
By studying Black Mist Creatures, analyzing the technological legacies of the Shadow World and Wen Ke'er World, and combining them with its own scientific system, they could gradually develop a technological tree suited to the new era. This path was slow, but its foundations were solid. It could benefit everyone,
