"So this is the fundamental essence of a Spirit artifact transformation."
Under the aid of the [Heavenly Path], after half a month of research, Tang San thoroughly studied the Sea God Trident. In essence, it exists as a balance between matter and energy, but unlike most things, it can persist in the world for a long time.
For a Spirit to remain in the world long after leaving the soul master, it requires a continuous supply of energy to maintain a self-sustaining cycle.
Turning the intangible into the tangible...
Creating...
In a sense, the materialization of the Sea God Trident touches upon the power of creation.
The ocean, too, has the ability to give birth to all things.
However, the Sea God Trident is ultimately just a weapon, not the ocean itself. For it to endure in the world, it needs an energy source, and that source is the power of faith.
The Sea God Trident can absorb the collective faith of all the sea creatures, not only sustaining the weapon's existence but also making it more sentient.
Yet, the Sea God Trident is missing the core needed to carry its sentience and transform faith: the Sea God's Heart, which makes its ability to absorb faith less efficient.
This is different from Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor. The materialization of the Blue Silver Emperor means it controls the power of creation—turning the intangible into the tangible. Every Blue Silver Emperor plant can independently absorb the earth's energy, sunlight, and moonlight to sustain itself, forming a self-sustaining cycle with the world. It doesn't need Tang San to provide additional soul power or absorb the power of faith to survive, and its immense energy can even feed back into him.
In terms of efficiency, the Sea God Trident falls far short of the Blue Silver Emperor. Not to mention, the Blue Silver Emperor also reinforces the land of Douluo Star, enhancing the concentration of earthly energies and benefiting the planet. On the other hand, the Sea God Trident merely siphons the faith of its followers, offers them small benefits, and doesn't contribute anything to the overall development of the planet. The sea creatures, in turn, become the servants of the Sea God, revering his strength without understanding that Douluo Star is the true foundation of all life.
After coming to this realization, Tang San chuckled, "No wonder I'm so lucky. Turns out, I'm the most beloved child of this planet, the kind of child a parent spoils to the point of feeding them endlessly just to avoid hunger..."
[My Planet Mother!]
Clearing his mind, Tang San moved his divine sense, pinpointing Hawk's location, and casually threw the Sea God Trident into the air. It traveled thousands of miles before landing at the Transmigrators' Alliance's headquarters.
With the Blue Silver Emperor covering all of the Tian Dou Empire, Tang San only needed to sweep his divine sense to confirm the precise coordinates. He could then open a spatial portal and send things anywhere with 100% accuracy.
Then, he tossed over a manual for refining the Sea God Trident.
Such a skill is something even the gods of the divine realm could hardly compare to...
...
Hawk was startled when the Sea God Trident suddenly appeared in front of him, but he quickly caught it.
"This thing just appeared out of nowhere... Did Tang San send it over?" Feng Ming, who was discussing how to best use the abilities of the Transmigrators, was shocked by this scene and began thinking, "How did he pinpoint your location? Did he leave a trace of soul power or spiritual energy as a coordinate on you? Or is it because the roots of the Blue Silver Emperor have spread throughout the Tian Dou Empire, and everything we do is under his watch?"
Hawk, holding the Sea God Trident and the accompanying small manual, said, "It's most likely the latter. He's planning to spread Spirit across the entire world and let the Blue Silver Network cover the whole planet, creating a starry world."
"A near-real virtual world?" Feng Ming said, understanding. "A level of development that modern society hasn't reached, yet in this world, it's all achieved through Spirit. It's truly unbelievable."
"Spirit itself is unbelievable. Otherwise, do you think the Spirit Hall could have developed high-yield crops in just a few years?" Hawk retorted, leaving Feng Ming speechless.
Sigh—
They had been misled, focusing solely on cultivation and forgetting that Spirit is this world's "primary productive force."
But that couldn't be helped. When they transmigrated, most of them had family responsibilities, and no matter how many ideas they had, they couldn't put them into practice. As they grew, their thinking gradually became rigid.
"It's not too late to realize it now, but catching up to Spirit Hall is impossible." Feng Ming sighed. "With the reforms of Spirit Hall, the native people of Douluo Continent have gradually awakened, especially in big cities. It's no longer easy to deceive them."
"Speaking of which, where is Tang Laoya?" Hawk glanced around and noticed that Tang Laoya was missing. He found it strange.
"He went back to his sect," Feng Ming casually replied. "I heard that after Tang Chen from the Haotian Clan broke through to level 100, he's been teaching the disciples. Tang Laoya had to go back to attend the lecture. Speaking of which, Tang Chen has ascended to godhood, and the Haotian Clan has already made its return, but it seems they haven't gained much recognition on the continent. It's no different from when they sealed their mountain."
Tang Chen is a character whom Feng Ming has never seen personally, but from the original story, it's clear that he must be a very domineering figure. This can be inferred from the behavior of the Haotian Clan disciples currently walking the continent. These disciples, in order to establish a good reputation for their sect, frequently assist small villages and settlements by combating bandits and thieves. However, their methods are ruthless—when attacking a bandit hideout, no one is spared, not even the innocent women, children, or prisoners, all of whom are killed.
They publicly claim that they do so to protect the women and children's honor.
While remote villages may approve of such actions, the residents of cities closer to Spirit Hall City tend to criticize this approach.
The reason for the Haotian Clan disciples' behavior is simple: they are cultivating the God of Killing domain.
Tang Laoya had once mentioned that Tang Chen had established a Shura Illusionary Realm in the Haotian Clan. Those who pass through it can absorb Shura energy, and by accumulating enough killing intent, they can form the God of Killing domain.
However, since the City of Slaughter is no longer around, and the Fallen and Evil Soul Masters have hidden themselves deeply, it's difficult to find them. So, these Haotian disciples resort to targeting bandits and wiping them out entirely to accumulate more killing intent.
As for the innocent women and children, their fate is summarized with one remark: bad luck.
To be honest, both Feng Ming and Hawk are deeply repelled by such behavior, but as it concerns the Haotian Clan, they lack the power to oppose it and can only turn a blind eye.
"After becoming a god, one cannot interfere in the mortal realm," Hawk spoke the truth. "Furthermore, Tang Chen is probably from the Shura God line and should be abiding by the rules of the divine realm. In the original story, when Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were killed by Tang San, the Shura and Sea Gods in the divine realm were watching the whole thing without interfering. The reason is simple: Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, being gods, were meddling in mortal affairs."
"What about the Tang San in the original story?" Feng Ming frowned.
"According to the divine realm's rules, he didn't technically interfere with the mortal realm; he was just developing his Tang Sect. The mortal powers had to account for his existence, but before ascending to the divine realm, he must have gathered quite a bit of treasure on the continent, like the Golden Tree," Hawk speculated. "As for Dou Er, his power reached the peak of God King, and with both good and evil descending for a wager, he naturally became the strongest individual in the divine realm and the ruler of the rules. Then he became aloof."
"Is that so?" Feng Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head. "What does this have to do with us?"
"Not much," Hawk replied. "But in the future, Douluo Star might evolve into a planet comparable to the divine realm, so we need to start thinking about which side to align with."
"Align?" Feng Ming sighed. "Haven't we already chosen a side?"
"Exactly—"
"There are some transmigrators with questionable intentions that we need to watch out for... The Transmigrators' Alliance is here to help them adapt to this new era of life, but also to eliminate those who are plotting trouble."
