The Heavenly Dao Network Theft Plan
If a Divine Ability were to be popularized, it would be incredibly easy. After all, the celestial realm, like the lower realm, is in a state of knowledge blockade. In this situation, if there were a peerless Peerless Divine Abilities that could be learned at will, whether it was beneficial or harmful, requiring castration, there would be plenty of people who would want to learn it.
However, Yang Ning was a man of principle, so of course he wouldn't pass on the [Bixie Sword Manual] to them. The Divine Ability that Yang Ning wanted to pass on always had a few characteristics.
First: It must be convenient and easy to use, so that people can't live without it.
Second: Be invincible among your own kind; only in this way can you remain undefeated when facing competition from other Divine Ability of the same kind.
Third: It has a social aspect. Even if someone develops a more convenient and invincible Divine Ability, the social aspect of Yang Ning's Divine Ability will prevent the new Divine Ability from being widely promoted.
Not to mention that most people are unwilling to spread their beliefs.
What? You're saying that immortals need to preach to validate their own path?
The way of preaching in the Cultivation World is quite different from what earthlings understand as preaching.
In the minds of Earthlings, preaching means publishing papers so that the whole world knows about it. Regardless of whether they can learn it or not, at least everyone has a way to access it.
In the Cultivation World, spreading the Dao involves taking in two or three disciples to ensure the continuation of the lineage; that is considered spreading the Dao.
For example, in the Primordial World, the Three Pure Ones, Taiqing and Yuqing, had fewer disciples than a primary school teacher had ever taught. Shangqing was said to have ten thousand immortals paying homage, but it was only equivalent to the number of students admitted to a university in a year.
The same situation exists in the Cultivation World.
Although Cultivation World Divine Ability in the cultivation world are fragile, people can grow. Yang Ning has always been cautious, so even when it comes to passing on his knowledge, he treats his opponents as the most intelligent enemies.
Therefore, he is using the method of spreading an app to preach the gospel.
Zizhou is next to Weizhou.
This state is rich in waterways and has mudflats everywhere. The mortals and ordinary monsters living here make a living by fishing, and most of the cultivators are aquatic spirits. Some amphibians live on the shore, while others who do not want to go ashore build palaces in the water.
Therefore, Yang Ning's short-term goal is to focus on amphibious and aquatic fairies, while his long-term goal is the vast majority of mortals.
What do amphibian fairies and aquatic fairies need?
The [Innate Dao Body] technique is definitely something that must be passed down, but after going around in circles, Yang Ning discovered a problem.
Communication here seems to be inconvenient.
Unlike the people of Zizhou who live on land and interact with each other in cities, the creatures of Weizhou not only have little interaction, but even the languages of terrestrial and aquatic creatures are not mutually intelligible, and each region has its own dialect.
It's not difficult to spread a Divine Ability in Weizhou, but it's extremely difficult to make it go far.
"It's inconvenient to talk in the water. Although you can use Divine Sense, increasing the power of Divine Sense turns it into Divine Sense intrusion, and many demons don't know how to do that." Demons are less intelligent than humans, and the passive skills that everyone has in cultivation might not be something demons necessarily possess.
With less communication, language naturally becomes inconsistent.
Therefore, before spreading the [Innate Dao Body], Yang Ning first needed to unify the language of Weizhou.
"Then let's get a [Omniscient Language]!" This Divine Ability couldn't be simpler: read the brainwaves of a living being and then convert them into a language that another living being can understand. This is a technology that Yang Ning cracked when he was in the Qi Refining Stage.
If we were to categorize levels, would there only be a prefecture-level city?
Therefore, Yang Ning was not satisfied. "I am a dignified Great Luo Immortal, the future ruler of the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao, the common master of the Three Realms, and the successor of the Earth-grade Divine Ability. If this gets out, will I still have any face left?"
If you're going to learn from someone, learn from Hongjun or Taiqing. Anything they carry can become Law Treasure, and even a simple fire-starting boy can become a powerful figure in the mortal realm!
Therefore, simply having general language knowledge is not enough!
Yang Ning then thought of the internet, which connects all the information created by everyone through a database, allowing anyone to read and access it.
So, what if I actually manage to create this database?
"Huh?" Yang Ning realized that he had a similar concept in his mind.
It seems to have been mentioned in many novels, and is called "Civilization Database," "Sacred Inheritance," or "Magic Net."
The concept of aliens also exists in Marvel, such as the Supreme Intelligence among the Kree.
However, Hollywood screenwriters write scripts according to rules and regulations. They stipulate that any protagonist, villain, high-ranking deity, or even concept must have a body, preferably in human form, so that the protagonist can defeat them in the end, and it must be through hand-to-hand combat. If it's too complicated, people who grew up with a carefree education won't understand it.
So the idea that this Supreme Intelligence is also a person is absurd.
But in Yang Ning's view, this Supreme Intelligence is quite interesting.
The entire heritage and wisdom of civilization are gathered and compiled into a database, through which anyone can upload or download knowledge.
The advantage of doing this is that civilization no longer needs to spend a lot of time learning basic knowledge, even if it is exposed to happy education from childhood to adulthood, until it receives a knowledge inheritance by getting an injection when it becomes an adult.
Therefore, for the future of human civilization, researching genes to extend lifespan is one path, and researching brain-computer interfaces for knowledge and memory transmission is another.
Have we gone off-topic?
No.
Yang Ning simply felt that the Heavenly Dao ethereal and contained many other paths, such as the Immortal Dao and the Demonic Dao, all of which had already been traversed by humankind.
He wanted to create the Heavenly Dao from scratch, which was not as simple as creating the Earthly Way and the Human Way, since other people's systems were already established.
So what should I do to bring someone else's system under my own control?
CNKI has already provided the answer.
That is to create a database that does not produce knowledge itself, but is merely a knowledge transporter.
However, because he monopolized all the knowledge, he could use that knowledge to charge fees and amass a fortune.
The same applies to the Heavenly Dao. Since I cannot build a Great Dao from scratch, I will collect your Daos into my database. After all, there is no copyright law in the Immortal Realm.
And even if I spread other people's Divine Ability, there's nothing you can do about it, because it's a user's spontaneous behavior. If you're so capable, go and investigate the user!
There was another problem that compelled Yang Ning to adopt this method.
That is, the Heavenly Dao has a name!
Unlike the Cultivation World, which has no concept of the earthly way or the human way, the Cultivation World and the immortal world truly have the concept of the Heavenly Dao, and everyone pursues the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao cannot be built from scratch; it can only be stolen.
To privatize the public ownership concept of the Heavenly Dao.
It sounds difficult, but it's actually quite simple. Just like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, as long as a brand-new, more appealing concept emerges, the meaning of that word will shift.
Moreover, Yang Ning can perfectly simulate the Heavenly Dao.
Use Spirit Realm!
The Heavenly Dao should theoretically be able to encompass all the knowledge in the world.
Spirit Realm is also acceptable.
The Heavenly Dao possesses infinite calculating power and can operate according to all the principles of the world.
Spirit Realm is also acceptable.
The Heavenly Dao can be linked to destiny; many powerful beings can deduce many things with a simple calculation.
Spirit Realm is also acceptable.
The only difference is that the Heavenly Dao belongs to everyone, while the Spirit Realm belongs to Yang Ning.
If I simply open the Spirit Realm to everyone, wouldn't the Spirit Realm become equivalent to the Heavenly Dao?
Moreover, your Heavenly Dao can only govern the Heavenly Dao, while my Heavenly Dao can even govern the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao!
My copy is even more authentic than yours; when the time comes, who's the fake?
"Therefore, what I need is not communication technology or language technology, but internet access technology!"
"The technology that links to the Heavenly Dao Network!"
"Use everything you can: Lian Shan, Gui Cang, I Ching, Plum Blossom Plum Blossom Numerology, Hexagram Array, Ritual Magic, meditation, prayer, sacrifice!"
"No, that's still too troublesome. Let's change it so that we can enter the Heavenly Dao Network simply by reciting the two words '[Heavenly Dao]'!"
