Chapter 576: Dao Soldier System

Time passed day by day.

Jie Ming's life became regular again.

During the day, he studied the refining technology of Longevity Medicine, and at night, he studied the knowledge of fate and the destiny system.

On this day, Jie Ming was flipping through a cross-research report on soul solidification and body regeneration in the laboratory when a sound of light footsteps came from outside the door. "My lord."

A Black Giant priest stood at the door, black liquid metal flowing slowly on its body surface.

Jie Ming looked up: "Speak."

"The materials you ordered to be prepared have all arrived. 127 types of basic minerals, 43 types of rare elements, and the biological samples you specified have all been prepared according to the list."

Jie Ming's eyes lit up.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

He put down the report in his hand and followed the Black Giant priest out of the laboratory.

The East District of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane was a vast plain.

On weekdays, there were only sporadic volcanic rocks and sulfur crystals here, but at this moment, the plain was already piled with various materials.

Ores were piled like mountains, rare elements were sealed in crystal containers and arranged neatly, and those biological samples collected from various planes through the Magic Network were locked in special cages, guarded by Black Giants.

In the center of the plain, tens of thousands of Black Giant priests were already in position.

Further out were dense swarms of Black Giant tribes, quietly waiting for orders.

Jie Ming nodded with satisfaction.

The efficiency of these Black Giants had never disappointed him.

He walked to the material pile, picked up a piece of ore the size of a fist, probed it with spiritual power to sense it, and then put it down.

"We can begin."

He turned around, facing those Black Giant priests, his voice spreading throughout the field through spiritual power.

"What we are building this time is a new sub-system of the Incense Divine Path—the Dao Soldier System."

"The function of the Dao Soldier System is to manufacture various guardian Dao soldiers. Simply put, it is to transform ordinary creatures into war tools that are more powerful, more obedient, and more suitable for large-scale combat."

"This involves a series of technologies such as biological modification, soul reshaping, and consciousness implantation. It is more complex than any project you have come into contact with before." Jie Ming paused, his gaze sweeping over those Black Giant priests.

"But you have followed me for so many years, and you have learned what you should have learned. This time, it happens to be a test of your level."

The Black Giant priests bowed in unison.

Jie Ming raised his hand to point in the air, and a huge light screen unfolded, showing the complete structural diagram of the Dao Soldier System.

"First step, build the core hub. It requires setting up 108 rune pillars, and the specifications for each rune pillar are..."

While explaining, he marked the key points on the light screen.

The Black Giant priests listened carefully, and a few even took out recording crystals to start filming.

The explanation lasted for several hours.

"... The above are basically the key points needed for the first stage of construction. Do you all understand?"

Jie Ming asked.

The Black Giant priests nodded simultaneously.

"Then let's begin."

Jie Ming retreated to the side, sat cross-legged on a flat rock, and began to observe.

The Black Giant priests immediately took action.

According to Jie Ming's division of labor, they each led a team of Black Giants to start transporting materials, digging foundations, and arranging runes.

Those Black Giants were the labor force, responsible for the most basic physical work: moving stones, digging pits, and pouring metal.

The entire plain instantly turned into a huge construction site.

Jie Ming watched those black figures busy shuttling back and forth, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

A thousand years ago, when he first came to the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, this place was still a wasteland.

Now, there was a 7th-tier large elemental pool, an automated factory, the framework of the Incense Divine Path, the Fate System, and even the number of Black Giants had exceeded 10 billion.

Although it had cost quite a lot of resources, this was his foundation.

He watched for a while, confirmed that everything was progressing smoothly, and then stood up to return to the laboratory.

The construction of the Dao Soldier System could not be completed in a day or two, so he didn't need to stay at the construction site all the time.

Returning to the laboratory, Jie Ming closed the door and sat cross-legged.

Taking a deep breath, his consciousness sank deep within.

There, an ancient book pavilion cast from white jade was quietly floating.

The Great Dao Book Pavilion.

Jie Ming muttered in his heart: "Knowledge related to the Dao Soldier System."

As soon as the words fell, the doors of the book pavilion opened slowly, and dozens of books flew out from the depths of the doors, floating neatly in front of him.

He reached out and picked up the one on top, with a few ancient characters written on the cover:

"General Treatise on Guardian Dao Soldiers"

Jie Ming opened the book and began to read.

The content at the beginning of the book was a pile of classical Chinese, which Jie Ming was accustomed to.

He quickly scanned the preface and entered the main text.

"Guardian Dao soldiers are either domesticated from demonic beasts, transformed from dead soldiers, or evolved from puppets..."

In the main text, in order to record knowledge more accurately, the content changed from obscure ancient text to a semi-vernacular writing style.

Jie Ming quickly flipped to the part he had read before, reading while comparing it in his heart with the Longevity Medicine knowledge he had just learned. Jie Ming intended to install a new sub-system for the Incense Divine Path because the "transformation" of Dao soldiers and the "refining" of Longevity Medicine actually had many things in common.

The core of Longevity Medicine was "solidification"—fixing the state of the body and soul, letting them stay at their peak.

The core of Dao soldiers was "strengthening"—transforming the body and soul, letting them gain power that surpassed their original limits.

The directions were different, but the underlying logic was the same.

Both required a deep understanding of the structure of living beings.

Both required mastering the connection mechanism between the soul and the body.

Both required precise control of the energy balance during the transformation process.

Just as he had intended to use fate-system knowledge to reflect and understand fate-knowledge, Jie Ming also intended to use the knowledge of the Dao Soldier System to reflect and understand Longevity Medicine-related knowledge.

Soon, after reviewing the previous content, he put down "General Treatise on Guardian Dao Soldiers" and picked up the second book: "Chapter on Refining Demonic Beasts." This chapter talked about how to refine demonic beasts into guardian Dao soldiers.

From the selection and domestication of demonic beasts to the rune engraving and soul implantation during the refining process, every step was written extremely detailed.

Jie Ming read while mobilizing the knowledge about "biological modification" in his mind to compare.

The soul structure of demonic beasts was very different from that of humans, but the core principles were the same...

The energy balance that needed to be maintained during the refining process was almost the same as the balancing technique when refining Longevity Medicine...

Knowledge collided, fused, and sublimated in his mind.

Time passed second by second.

When Jie Ming regained his senses, the sky outside the window had already darkened.

He rubbed his brow, feeling countless new connections being established in his spiritual sea.

The knowledge of Longevity Medicine, the knowledge of Dao soldiers, and the biological and soul foundations he originally had—these things were being woven into a net bit by bit.

"Hmm... Let's study for a while longer."

Jie Ming picked up the book and continued to immerse himself in it. ===== CHAPTER 577 =====
