Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1081 The Origin of Evil Soul Masters—

It must be said that Yu Xiaogang is indeed a talented person.

He unified the ideology of the people within the Star Luo Empire by learning from the Red Society's model.
Do not!
He is controlling the minds of all Xingluo people.

Although anyone who is curious will think and resist, they are ultimately just a few individuals. Especially given that the entire Star Luo Empire is implementing this measure, those who dare to think will only suffer a more tragic fate than the protagonists in the story Lu Qibin told Zhou Qing back then.

After all, the Star Luo Empire is an empire ruled by one family and one surname.

But the Red Society is everyone's Red Society.

The former would not want to see others rebel against the rule of the empire.

The latter is constantly changing, allowing the system to adapt to the progress of the times, and even to predict the arrival of the next era, thereby taking the lead in improving or even changing the system.

And what about these measures taken by the Star Luo Empire?
The main purpose was to control the thoughts of everyone in the Star Luo Empire. It was as if they had created a mold, comparing people to a mixture of clay and water, and fitting them into the mold to make their thoughts more consistent, subtracting the excess and adding the missing.

In this way, everyone can naturally achieve "spiritual connection" in a simple and straightforward sense!
Why do this?

For the sake of faith.

Yu Xiaogang once visited Tang Chen, who had become a god. In order to increase the number of gods in the divine realm, Tang Chen told him a piece of information: the more complex a person's thinking is, the less pure and absolute their faith is, but this is true for most people.

This means that only by making them pure can they obtain the power of faith!

A person's lack of education and limited literacy does not necessarily mean that they are simple-minded. On the contrary, most rural farmers are quite shrewd; they only appear ignorant because they lack opportunities for learning.

However, by imparting knowledge to its people and incorporating its own ideas into the process, and by creating an environment similar to "The Truman Show," the Star Luo Empire can definitely cultivate a population that is both knowledgeable and inclined towards its own thoughts.

When the number of people whose thoughts are drawn to or even worship themselves exceeds a certain threshold, it can turn into fanaticism!
And so, faith was born!
As for how to utilize the power of faith—

Yu Xiaogang certainly doesn't understand.

However, since Dai Mubai awakened the Evil Eye Saint King, that wisp of remnant soul should know how to collect the power of faith in advance.

"In addition to the god-making plan, they also devised another plan."

Davis brought up the second plan, but was vague about it. "I don't know the specifics, and neither does my second brother. All I know is that they found three thousand babies, both nobles and commoners, and secretly raised them on a secluded island in the southeastern sea."

It seemed that Yu Xiaogang had discovered something among these measures and decided to have Dai Mubai try them.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow, his inner vision stirred, and he realized that Yu Xiaogang might have indeed discovered a way to utilize the power of faith, to the point that even the planet's will sensed it and conveyed a message to him.

However, whatever Yu Xiaogang wants to do, he will inevitably need to make many attempts, and Chi will have ample time to deal with it.

If Yu Xiaogang were to actually achieve something in the future that could deal a devastating blow to the Red Society, then it could only mean that the Red Society is no longer suited to the times…
at the same time.

On a remote island in the southeastern sea of ​​the Star Luo Empire, knights loyal to Dai Mubai are carefully caring for three thousand infants from different backgrounds, including commoners, nobles, merchants, families, and small sects.

Here, they no longer have distinctions based on external status or class; they have only one identity:
Holy King's Guard!
During their growth, the Holy King Guards will not be influenced by the various things in the outside world, so as to ensure the purity of their hearts.

how so?

It's all because Yu Xiaogang wanted to conduct an experiment to create a "god"!

This "god" is different from the level 100 godhood achieved by a Soul Master; it is a collective consciousness that transcends biological concepts: Alaya-vijnana.

Alaya-vijnana is the aggregate of human consciousness.

This definition was found by Yu Xiaogang in an ancient book that had not been read for nearly two hundred years in the former Papal Palace Library.

Back then, Yu Xiaogang was unable to improve his soul power, and he had already begun to feel hopeless. He hoped to find a way to break through to level 30 from ancient books and even myths and legends.

However, this ancient book doesn't offer much of a definition of Alaya-vijnana; besides this one sentence, it says:

The Alaya consciousness is the aggregate of human consciousness, so it will unconditionally protect humanity. People with pure souls can connect with the Alaya consciousness and obtain its power.

No martial spirit or soul power is needed; one can mobilize all elemental energies in the world simply by using one's will!
If one can fully resonate with Alaya, one can become one with it and possess the power to make words come true!

Such incomprehensible and exaggerated content caused Yu Xiaogang to abandon his unrealistic fantasies at that time.

However, Yu Xiaogang did not come away empty-handed. Through the term "aggregate," he came up with the idea of ​​fusing the soul power of multiple soul masters into one soul master. With the help of other information in the Spirit Hall about fusing soul power and spirit fusion, he created the "Trinity Spirit Fusion Technique."

In reality, this was not a fusion of martial souls, but rather the fusion of other people's soul power into Luo Sanpao's body.

The reason why he became famous throughout the continent was probably not only because of the power of the "Golden Sacred Dragon", but also because Yu Xiaogang was the first person on the continent to create an example of fusing the soul power of soul masters with different types and attributes of martial souls.

Of course, the Soul Masters of that era didn't have such a clear understanding of Soul Fusion and Soul Power Fusion as the Red Society did. They were probably just amazed by Yu Xiaogang's ability to successfully fuse three completely incompatible Souls: a fire-attribute fire dragon, a lightning-attribute mutated Luo Sanpao, and a flight-attribute owl. In short, the concept of pooling the power of many and converging it into one person was already deeply ingrained in Yu Xiaogang's mind.

Injecting the soul power of multiple soul masters into the martial soul of a single soul master can cause that soul master's martial soul to undergo a transformation under the accumulation of soul power.

The working principle of the power of faith should be the same, condensing in the martial soul in a certain way, thus naturally forging the position of a god.

Dai Mubai then mastered the method—

With the help of a wisp of the power of the Evil God, the Evil Eye Saint King condensed a true Evil Eye between his eyebrows to store the power of faith. This would allow him to directly use the power of faith he had accumulated to sublimate his martial soul, shape his divine soul, and evolve his divine body when he reached the peerless realm in the future.

However, this method does not apply to Yu Xiaogang.

Thanks to his time at Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang broke through level 30 and was able to continue cultivating. In addition, he believed that he had learned the secrets of angels and Rakshasa, and thus developed the ambition to become a god!

However, without a way to store the power of faith, the people's worship and faith in him might dissipate in the decades before his soul power reaches the level of a Title Douluo.

Without the "Evil Eye," he was unable to store the power of faith, and he didn't even have the ability to sense the power of faith.

Therefore, based on the Red Society's ideology and the interior scenes of the ancient books he had seen in the Papal Palace, Yu Xiaogang took a different approach and began experiments, preparing to create a true "god," transcending the existence of living beings—

Alaya-vijnana!

A collection of human consciousness!

Faith originates from the heart but is influenced by thought. Therefore, Yu Xiaogang's "God-Making Plan" aims to control the thoughts of the entire Star Luo Empire's people, thereby influencing their faith.

If soul power can resonate with each other, can the power of faith, which is born from the influence of thoughts on the mind, also resonate?
If resonance can be achieved, the faith originating from the human heart will not dissipate because there is no place to carry it, but will be connected with the common thoughts of mankind, so that the thoughts of some people will also merge with the faith, and then unite with each other, transforming into something like clouds and mist that ordinary people cannot see, enveloping the entire Star Luo Empire.

That is the Alaya consciousness.

However, since Yu Xiaogang could not perceive the power of faith, he decided to proceed from the side, that is, to cultivate a group of people with the purest hearts.

Faith is sacred.

The collective consciousness of humanity, which carries faith, is also sacred.

Sacred things, however, have always been perceptible only to the pure.

This purity does not refer to physical purity, but rather to the purity of the soul and mind.

Only Yu Xiaogang knows that the god to be created in the god-making project is two.

One is the Evil-Eyed Saint King.

The other is the Alaya consciousness.

If the Alaya Consciousness truly emerged because he controlled the thoughts of everyone in the Star Luo Empire and achieved some kind of unity, then the Holy King Guard, who grew up on this secluded island like a paradise, should be able to make contact with the Alaya Consciousness so that he could verify it indirectly.

When that time comes, Dai Mubai can use the power of faith to forge a divine position and become a god, while Yu Xiaogang can also use the ability to control the thoughts of the people of the Star Luo Empire obtained through the "God Creation Project" to make the people's thoughts approach his, so that the Alaya consciousness he is born can resonate with his personal thoughts and then merge with them.

I am the collective consciousness of all humanity! Alaya-vijnana!

This is Yu Xiaogang's ultimate goal.

Therefore, the upbringing of the three thousand infants on this island is of paramount importance, and every word and action of the knights who come to care for them must be carefully considered.

Even facial expressions must remain calm! At most, a faint smile can be displayed!
Sadness, joy, excitement, sorrow, and any other emotion are strictly forbidden!

In addition, all members of the Knights, regardless of gender, must be completely naked. They must also learn to let go of their shame while caring for these three thousand infants; otherwise, they are considered unqualified.

Otherwise, if children are influenced by the sentimentality and shame of those who care for them, how can we guarantee that their souls and hearts will be pure when they grow up?

If anyone fails to do so, there's only one outcome:

dead.

After all, the specific process of raising these three thousand babies must never be revealed, otherwise, if the outside world were to describe them as "fallen people," it would be a compliment.

Regarding what they did—

Yu Xiaogang is certain that he will be given a completely new definition by outsiders: Evil Soul Master!
