"It really can produce incense and fire prayer power! I knew it. If an artificial primordial spirit can rival a real living being, there is no reason artificially generated emotions and will shouldn't count as a living being's emotions and will!"
"These emotions and will are the foundation of faith. When produced by insects and plants, their quality is even higher than those of mortals, because their faith is firmer and their thoughts purer!"
Li Chen spared no effort in spurring it on with his own magic power, spreading the white meme throughout the entire swarm in mere moments. Sure enough, even more clearly visible fortune power converged from the void, growing ever sweeter and more delectable.
He smiled faintly at the sight. "As long as you can produce incense and fire prayer power and concentrate fortune power for me, I don't care whether you're human."
Soon afterward, Li Chen logged into the Puppet World Heavenly Net and began drawing on the strength of the entire Puppet Dao for his next attempt.
During his discussion with Shen Longcheng, he said, "Great Elder Shen, our competition with the Outer Dao must not be confined to conventional battlefields. Clashing with real blades and spears is certainly the most direct and intense approach, but in the long run, it is never as cost-effective as working in other fields. We should play to our strengths and wage unrestricted warfare."
Shen Longcheng asked, "What is unrestricted warfare? Does it mean using any means necessary?"
Li Chen said, "As the name suggests, it means going beyond boundaries, turning things that originally lay outside the domain of war into battlefields as well. It does carry the sense of using any means necessary, but compared with the depth implied by those words, it places greater emphasis on breadth."
