In a second-tier city in Divine Land, on Earth Star.
Two extremely fierce-looking cultivators were confronting the Divine Land Supervisory Department, and they were holding a young girl hostage.
"Release the formation and let us out, or we'll kill him."
One of the taller cultivators held a short sword to the girl's neck and shouted menacingly.
"Attention all groups, pay close attention to any movements and be ready to act at any time."
Opposite the two men, a squad from the Supervisory Department was confronting them, but because they were holding hostages, they dared not make any rash moves.
Although the control over cultivation techniques is very strict, it has been some time since Divine Land began to become a cultivation civilization, and a large number of cultivation techniques have emerged one after another. Even though the official control of Divine Land on a few Qi Refining Method is still strict, they are already starting to lose control over the newly emerging Qi Refining Method.
The quality of the new generation of practitioners varies greatly. Regardless of their personal character, it is not difficult for them to find a practice method to begin practicing at this stage.
This has also led to a slight increase in the frequency of various serious social incidents.
"Give us a flying shuttle and let us leave. We certainly won't harm the hostages..."
The tall, burly bandit brandished his weapon, still negotiating terms with the Supervisory Department.
Just then, an unknown pressure enveloped them from all sides, binding everyone present and rendering them unable to move.
"W-what's going on?"
The two ruthless bandits had never seen anything like this before and couldn't recognize what methods were used to render them completely immobile.
The officials from the Supervisory Department felt reassured, and their tense mood immediately relaxed.
"It's our senior; we're lucky."
"Fortunately, with the help of a senior colleague, we were basically out of the picture."
Although they were also pinned down and unable to move, they had heard similar stories from others before.
Recently, a mysterious senior has been targeting some cultivators with bad behavior, taking them to a mysterious place to undergo experiments.
This notice was sent from the Imperial Capital within a few days and reached all the Supervisory Department in the Divine Land.
Of course, the notice was issued so quickly thanks to the addition of a new magical artifact to Divine Land's current management system - the Luo Shu, which has already proven effective and is now being promoted nationwide.
With its addition, Divine Land's administrative efficiency has increased dozens of times compared to before, and many related unsavory matters have been greatly reduced.
After all, this thing records all of an individual's work-related actions and operations, and transmits them to superiors without any concealment. It's quite difficult to do anything under such scrutiny.
Of course, everything depends on the joint efforts of everyone. If the entire system is complicit and colludes, then relying solely on the Luo Shu) to solve these problems is nothing short of wishful thinking.
The immense pressure seemed to only envelop a small area around them; those outside this area moved freely, and many curious onlookers wanted to see what was happening.
Just as the two thugs were struggling desperately, suddenly, it was as if something grabbed their collars and pulled them up into the air, like two rockets, drawing two white lines as they flew into the clouds.
It was Li Xingkong who made the move. After grabbing the two, he casually tossed them into the designated location in his Space Bag Space Bag.
The gamification of Venus is complete. Li Xingkong has been pondering for a long time and has finally designed a large formation that is relatively consistent with the system's description.
According to the system, within this formation, he could initially reverse life and death, achieving a so-called resurrection.
But even though the modifications were complete, without any test subjects, Li Xingkong had no way of knowing whether his formation was as effective as he had imagined.
That's why Li Xingkong communicated with Divine Land and took action to capture some notorious villains to be the first batch of experimental guinea pigs.
In return for providing the experimental subjects, Li Xingkong added a large-scale image-collecting array on Venus, transmitting the images from Venus back to Earth Star in real time.
According to Divine Land, these live streams will be simultaneously broadcast to major online platforms on Earth Star for all Earth Star People to watch.
Using the game scenario mentioned by Li Xingkong, we can demonstrate to all cultivators the strength of Divine Land's crackdown on illegal and criminal activities, thereby reducing the crime rate on Earth Star.
Li Xingkong didn't have any ideas about what Divine Land wanted to do with these live streams, but with this live stream formation, Li Xingkong could keep track of the situation on Venus even while he was on Earth Star, which was beneficial to him personally. So he made a little extra work and added this function.
Divine Land first provided a large number of criminals who had been imprisoned for many years and whose crimes were extremely heinous. Li Xingkong used his Space Bag to transfer them all to Venus and placed them in a designated area.
In addition to those who have already been arrested, Divine Land has also delegated authority to Li Xingkong. He can take action at any time to arrest criminals whenever there is a crime.
Li Xingkong has been searching for and capturing suitable test subjects for nearly a month, and the number of people on Venus has now reached approximately 500-600.
The number of people is almost sufficient for Li Xingkong's experiments.
After throwing the last two captured people onto Venus, Li Xingkong also transformed into a beam of light and arrived on Venus.
All those captured were gathered by Li Xingkong in one area, which could be considered a preparation area. A large number of criminals were imprisoned here in an orderly manner, and the Supervisory Department personnel were guarding the area all around.
"We have enough people, so let's start the first test in Attack and Defense Battle Zone 1."
Upon arriving at the preparation area, Li Xingkong waved his hand, and two different markings appeared on the hundreds of criminals present. Then, Li Xingkong spoke.
"You will all be divided into two camps and engage in a annihilation battle within the Attack and Defense Zone One. Only by completely annihilating the opposing side can you achieve victory."
"The victor may have their sentence reduced at the discretion of the authorities, the loser..."
Li Xingkong didn't say it explicitly, but although the experiment was related to the resurrection of the formation, it would be good to see these people suffer a bit.
The prisoners' expressions varied; some had shining eyes and excited faces, while others looked terrified and began to struggle on the spot.
Li Xingkong didn't care about any of that. Anyone he brought here was definitely not a good person. Anyone with a criminal record or who had a change of heart after being caught would not be brought here.
Only the most heinous criminals would appear in this experiment.
