Chapter 29 Beginners
Li Yue clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture: "Please, Jiu Jiu, let me bring in a new user! If you enter the information, I'll get five extra free simulation attempts!"
"Okay."
Ling Jiu activated her life essence, a perfectly regular twelve-sided amethyst.
"Wow! Celestial Purple Jade Soul!"
All three of them were taken aback:
"A-rank or higher Soul Essence!"
"Speaking of which, Jiu Jiu, what exactly is the level of this Heavenly Star Purple Jade Soul? The Empire hides the specific level information for Soul Essences above Grade A..."
Chen Wei and Li Yue looked at Ling Jiu's soul with eagerness and curiosity.
Ling Jiu didn't answer. The Heavenly Star Purple Jade Soul was SS+ grade, but this was related to the Empire's talent protection policy. As the obedient daughter of the Ling family, she couldn't be an exception, even if they were friends.
Li Yue and Chen Wei seemed to realize they had asked something they shouldn't have, and quickly changed the subject.
"Jiujiu, Godfather! I beg you!"
Upon seeing her Heavenly Star Purple Jade Soul, Li Yue's eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together in prayer, saying, "If this is recorded, I'll have a full hundred chances to deduce! And Jiu Jiu, you can deduce infinitely! Please record it."
"Then let's record it..."
Ling Jiu didn't really care about AI-assisted understanding of cultivation techniques. With the resources of the Ling family, she could invite renowned martial artists, scientists, and artists from across the starry sky to provide her with one-on-one guidance whenever she wanted.
But she enjoys the feeling of being needed by her friends.
"Then I'll give it a try." She picked up her phone from the poolside and, with Chen Wei's guidance, found the mini-program with its simple icon but impressive name.
With a tap of your finger, you're ready to register.
"Buzz..."
But the moment she clicked on it, her eyes involuntarily turned golden.
Jiang Yun was stunned, then felt a sharp pain in her eyes, realizing that the 'Eye of the Butterfly God' had been activated on its own.
And it directly affected Ling Jiu.
Then, he and Ling Jiu both saw dozens of fine pink and white tentacles extending from the mini-program interface, greedily trying to embrace the Heavenly Star Purple Jade Soul.
But the moment they met the golden light shooting from Ling Jiu's eyes, they shrank back like a mouse encountering a cat.
[Congratulations, esteemed Starry Sky VIP! You have now been granted unlimited opportunities for deduction and annotation!]
This mini-program didn't even include her life essence, yet it still offered her the highest VIP level.
She also enabled unlimited assistance for the accounts of Li Yue, who had helped her register, as well as Chen Wei and Liu Yiqiu, whose accounts were linked to her friends' accounts.
Jiang Yun activated the Mother-Child Connection, pushing the 'Eye of the Butterfly God' to its limit. She was shocked to see that a phantom fleshy tentacle was extending from each person's phone and probing straight into their brows.
……
Perhaps the scene was too terrifying, because Ling Jiu quickly came out of the hot spring and rinsed her body in the private bathroom, as if trying to wash away the terrifying feeling from just now.
"Miss, did you sense something just now?"
In the empty bathroom, Wei Yun's voice suddenly rang out, which calmed Ling Jiu down a little.
"Deacon Wei, you sensed it?" she asked.
"I couldn't sense it, but I did notice your emotions changed after you opened that app." Wei Yun's voice was calm. "That's an existence that only someone like you, a Dao Lord of Cause and Effect, could perceive. It's a god, isn't it?"
"I have no idea……"
Lingjiu splashed some shampoo on her head: "I wonder if it's because Grandma Yiyi's blessing to the baby has also affected me, I can see it..."
She explained everything she had just witnessed to Wei Yun. Wei Yun was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Miss, do you know who Miss Ino is?"
"what?"
Ling Jiu truly didn't know this; she only knew that her true form was a butterfly: "A demon?"
"It's the Zerg."
Wei Yun explained, "One of only two catastrophe-level civilizations in the multiverse, the overlord of the Ninth Star Realm, and the pillar god of the Iya insectoid integrated pantheon. I cannot reveal His true name, but His status is equivalent to our Dao Lord."
"Huh?" Ling Jiu was taken aback: "There are only seven Dao Lords in our Fifth Star Realm..."
"Yes, you can see those tentacles because of His blessing on the unborn boy, but I can't... because the being behind them is an being of the same status as Miss Ino."
"He is revered as the 'First to See the Way,' and is also known as the Silent Eye or the Hidden Spy. He is the god worshipped by another civilization of the Zerg, the Lava Zerg, and is considered the best scholar of the multiverse."
"Then, should we call the police or notify Grandma...?" Ling Jiu tried to calm down and think of a solution, but Wei Yun's words made her shut up the next moment.
"In the Empire, He also has another name... Master Duqing."
"Huh?" Ling Jiu was taken aback. "Then, isn't that the person ranked second in the Hall of Fame of all schools in the Empire? You mean, this person revered by all schools in the Empire is actually an incarnation of a Zerg god?"
She asked, "Doesn't Grandma care... or did Grandma approve of this?"
Wei Yun remained silent for a long time before saying, "This was even invited by the Dao Lord. If there were someone in the human race who could reach the level of a Dao Lord in terms of knowledge and learning, of course they wouldn't need to invite an external god, but there isn't one."
"If the sequence of students in the Five Paths and Five Followers does not even have a Dao Lord level existence, not only will this system be at risk, but it will also lose its blessing to all students or learners in society."
It is precisely His existence, lending a portion of His authority to become His incarnation, that allows all students to double their comprehension during their studies, and for all other professions in society, to increase their understanding of any knowledge by about 30%...
"If that's the case, what price did we pay?" Ling Jiu asked.
"It's what you just saw. First of all, it neither encourages nor suppresses it; it allows for legal proselytizing and won't be considered an evil god."
Wei Yun replied, "The registration agreement for that mini-program includes a clause that states, 'Our company is an organization of believers of those who have just begun to explore the path. Apart from viewing GG, all the life soul data entered will be uploaded to the Divine Kingdom of Those Who Have Just Begun in the Ninth Star Realm after being officially reviewed by the Xinghua Empire.'"
"Those pinkish-white tentacles are His subordinates who are specifically responsible for data collection. After the data is collected, it will be handed over to the authorities for review and censorship of important information. It will also pay taxes before it can leave the country. Therefore, this is a legitimate company."
"And those registrants, including you, clicked 'agree' without even reading the agreement... or some people read it but didn't care, since it's officially endorsed."
Ling Jiu found it somewhat absurd, yet somehow it also seemed normal: "So, ultimately, it's because none of us humans can advance to the Dao Lord level within the [Student] sequence on our own that we have to engage in this kind of transaction, right?"
"Yes," Wei Yun replied, "This is also because Daojun hopes you can learn more about society. This world is very complex."
As Jiang Yun listened to their conversation, she seemed to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity of the world.
He even considered another possibility—
Could it be that the empire itself, through the vetting of data collected by the families of those who were just beginning to understand the system, was using another means to monitor its citizens?
He couldn't tell the difference.
Perhaps this is precisely the challenge that this new generation should face.
