Chapter 209: Insect Swarm Mind Network! Crisis Descends

However, actively selling the Insect Race was a different matter.

The experts in Yunlong County City were unlike those in Bishui City. In Bishui City, there were hardly any experts in the Qi Sea Realm, so selling them posed no risk. But the County City had quite a few experts in the Primordial Mansion Realm, along with many Secret Techniques specialized in Beast Taming and Beast Control.

This involved a very serious problem. The Insect Swarm was a single entity, one connected entirely through the Mind Network. As the Dominator of the Insect Swarm, all swarm units were extensions of his limbs, a part of his Divine Body.

So, what would happen if some Insect Race units ended up being enslaved? Would it result in Qin Yu himself being enslaved as well? If this issue wasn’t handled properly, or if there was no good countermeasure, it would absolutely bring disastrous consequences for him.

Therefore, while still in Bishui City, Qin Yu had already been thinking about how to deal with this. The creation of the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu was his tool for testing this theory. He had cultivated the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu to exchange for wealth and further deepen his intelligence network, but there was an even deeper test behind it.

That was, if an Insect Race unit was subjected to a Refining Method, would it result in an outcome where he lost control and could no longer command it? If so, since the first batch to use the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu were Qin Clan Members, he could quickly respond and further Enhance the swarm’s Mind Network to eliminate any possibility of being enslaved.

As one of the four major families in Yunlong County, the Qin Family naturally possessed a Refining Method. Elders of the Qin Family like Qin Wenyuan and Qin Mohe, and even Qin Tianfeng himself, possessed the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu. Qin Yu hadn’t said anything to them, yet, instinctively, they had all applied their Refining Methods to make the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu their own. This was especially true for Qin Tianfeng, an expert in the Primordial Mansion Realm.

The result made Qin Yu quite happy. Even after they were refined, thanks to the absolute control the Dominator of the Insect Swarm had over the swarm, he still retained the highest authority.

However, there was indeed a certain level of risk. If over half of the swarm’s Mind Network was affected, he would indeed face the possibility of being enslaved. But if only a tiny fraction was subjected to Soul enslavement or similar effects, it wouldn’t impact him in the slightest—much like a person having issues with their hair or nails. If Qin Yu wanted to, he could easily sever the connection, so it posed no threat to the swarm as a whole.

Having clarified this point, Qin Yu finally made his decision. Not only could he cooperate with the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Evil Suppression Bureau Army, but he had also specifically highlighted the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu.

This was an excellent beginning. What he wanted was never simply to earn a little bit of wealth. Instead, he aimed to build it into a massive super-network, similar to the internet from his past life. He wanted to make it so that no one could live without it!

As the strength of the Insect Swarm increased, the computing power within the Insect Nest grew increasingly massive. He could completely utilize the swarm’s Mind Network to create a virtual world connecting countless lives. As long as they used the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu, they could allow a portion of their mental consciousness to enter it.

An Illusion Realm? No, this was absolutely not a simple Illusion Realm.

With the super computing power of the Insect Nest, if this virtual world could be successfully built, it would completely overturn the basic rules of the entire world. Games, food, beauties, trading, combat, Cultivation, and more—it would be far more powerful than the internet of his past life. This was definitely not just a simple intelligence network, but rather a complete Virtual Universe.

It would be a super-network capable of collecting countless wisdom for him. As the swarm’s strength improved, he had gradually sensed a few problems. The evolution of the swarm required genes, knowledge, and Law Insights! And such a super-network would be able to accomplish all of that! He could steal genes through the blood-binding process, acquire the wisdom of the masses through their Cultivation and combat insights, and continuously harvest this wisdom, making billions of lives serve him.

Of course, this was just a beautiful vision for now. He needed to establish the Basic sound transmission and communication first. Even if the subsequent interconnection of all things could be achieved right now, he wouldn’t dare bring it out—that would be seeking his own doom.

“The number of Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu in the first batch cannot be too large, and their effects cannot be too good either. The maximum transmission range should just be set to ten thousand miles.

“In terms of consumption, that can be increased a bit as well.

“I also need to specifically allocate a Tier Three Insect Nest to exclusively manage these ‘enslaved’ units…”

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Yu immersed his consciousness into the Insect Nest and began to make adjustments.

He needed to create a special isolated area within the Insect Nest’s Mind Network. If the swarm’s Mind Network was discovered and invaded by some powerful existence, he would have preparations in advance! This was a problem the swarm would inevitably have to face in the future. As their scale continued to expand and the enemies they faced grew stronger, the swarm’s Mind Network was highly likely to be exposed.

So, in the face of this potential crisis, what should he do? Rather than waiting for a sudden disaster, he preferred to take the initiative to defend! He would prepare in advance and keep the risks within a controllable range.

“The Tower of Void Soul Defense Secret Technique is quite good. Constructing defenses within the Soul offers a lot of inspiration for the defense of the swarm’s entire Mind Network.

“But it’s not enough!

“Just an Alpha-level Middle Grade defensive Secret Technique is far from enough.

“Within the Demon Suppression Bureau, there are even stronger Soul Defense Secret Techniques. Although there are no specialized Soul-type techniques among the twelve Immortal Tier Secret Techniques, Immortal Tier Techniques will somewhat involve Soul Defense regardless.

“Once I get my hands on the Infinite Wonders Skill, I’ll look into the others.”

Qin Yu quietly looked up at the sky, yet his consciousness remained extremely active within the swarm’s Mind Network.
