The 12th year of the New Xia calendar.

The winter year is coming, January 2.

Elf City, on the Nuclear Boat Tree of Yuanzu.

"Don't you want millions of souls every day?"

After listening to Zhang Nan talk about his troubles.

The tree spirit opened its eyes wide and saliva was about to flow out.

"Don't give it to me, I will help you with these souls and ensure there is no problem."

The tree spirit said quickly.

"What do you do?" Zhang Nan asked.

"Of course, you should eat these souls and swallow them all to help strengthen my tree soul." The tree spirit said in a natural tone.

“Eat it?”

Zhang Nan glared and said, "These are all devout believers. They believed so devoutly during their lifetime just to enter the Kingdom of God. You actually wanted to swallow these souls, you..."

This behavior is too evil and ugly.

It is more ruthless and cruel than burning bridges across the river, no, it is more ruthless and cruel than cooking rabbits and dogs, and hiding birds all over the bow.

With Zhang Nan's moral concept, this kind of behavior is really not very good, and he is a little difficult to accept.

"What should I do if I don't do this?"

The tree spirit asked back, "It's just a spirit body. Without physical support, it will soon disappear. Do you want to live forever? It's hard for God to do this kind of thing. Besides, after devouring those souls, although they have been erased from themselves, after they merged with me, in a sense, they also embraced immortality together and became part of my soul, and did not disappear. My soul will be their soul in the future. Isn't this their honor?"

There was no embarrassment in the tone of the tree spirit, and no shame at all.

This practice seems to be natural.

Zhang Nan shook his head.

Still a little unacceptable.

The soul should also be respected, and should not be a "nutrition" that is swallowed and eaten at will. Otherwise, if you know this ending, the believer is willing to continue to believe in him.

Of course, the soul cannot speak, and the probability of resurrection and reincarnation is very small, and it cannot carry much memory.

What should I do is to do as I wish, and the risk is extremely small.

After all, that's just a soul.

Since they have all become soul states, it means that they no longer have any strength or trump card, and naturally they have lost their security. How to deal with it depends entirely on God's mood.

People like the tree spirit just swallow it, why not swallow it? Is it just something that I raise it in vain?

Even if you merge with Master Shu and become a part of the tree soul, it is simply the honor of those souls. There is no evil or evil. If I swallow you, you will become a small part of my soul; it is not equivalent to being swallowed by you, you will become a majority of your soul.

As long as I think about it this way, I'm fine.

No psychological burden is needed.

"no!"

Zhang Nan shook his head and said, "You can't do this. Since there is no god kingdom in heaven, then try to create a god kingdom and place those souls, and you can't swallow them all. This is a betrayal of them! You have to give those souls a place to settle down, even if it is not the god kingdom in heaven as you imagine."

"Then... how to place it?" Shuling asked.

"This is the question I want to ask you." Zhang Nandao.

"I don't have any experience in this area. I'm used to eating it directly and never placed it." Shu Ling spread his tree hands.

"Can you use your tree body to create a kingdom of gods and place a large number of souls? Your tree body is so big that it should be able to accommodate a lot of souls, right?"

Zhang Nan asked.

"This... maybe, I really haven't tried it." Shu Ling said in an uncertain tone.

"Then try it."

The next period of time.

Although the tree spirit did not seem very willing, Zhang Nan still used his tree body to try his best to create a tree god kingdom.

However, it is better to say that it is the Kingdom of the God of Trees, it is just a pure "soul space".

The structure of the regular cube has five meters in length.

The interior is pure white.

Because the soul is very small, ranging from sesame seeds to soybeans, it will be smaller after compression, so this soul space can accommodate about 100 million souls.

Judging from the number of souls Zhang Nan receives every day, this soul space will be filled with souls in about two months.

besides.

In order to maintain the existence of these souls, Zhang Nan needs to use green light particles to fill in a large amount of mental power every day, release some tiny soul fragments to replenish these souls.

It brings considerable burden to Zhang Nan.

Only then did Zhang Nan finally realize that what the tree spirit said was right, and devouring these souls was the best way to deal with it.

Maintaining a soul alone is not difficult and does not consume much.

But after the number of souls reaches the order of millions, millions, or hundreds of millions of magnitude, the consumption required and the mental power brought by hundreds of millions of living believers may not be able to support it.

Not cost-effective.

Unrealistic.

Unless there is a true "nation of gods in heaven", under the influence of divine power, the soul can be preserved for a long time and even grow.

But in the mortal world, the cost of maintaining the long-term existence of the soul is very high.

There is no profit, only loss.

"Zhang, let me give up. Let me eat all the souls in the soul space. Don't do unnecessary things." Shu Ling persuaded.

"Wait, wait a little longer!"

Zhang Nan shook his head and fell into thinking: "Let me think about it again and see if there is a better way."

I racked my brains for a long time and I got it!

He thought of a good idea.

Virtual Kingdom of God!

Using Hongmeng Company's virtual online game technology, soul information is converted into program code information of electrical signals, loaded into intelligent supercomputers, and then entered the virtual world composed of 01 to create a huge virtual kingdom of gods.

All the souls of believers are placed in the virtual gods.

As for the environment of the virtual kingdom of God, as long as you have enough imagination, the virtual kingdom of God can be more magnificent and spectacular.

What are the mountains of endless food, sea of ​​gold, silver and treasures, city of beauty... These facilities can all be found.

And other things that people most desire to have when they are alive can be added.

As long as you have rich imagination, you can have anything without limitation.

So when Zhang Nan proposed his idea.

"In theory, this is OK."

Experts from Hongmeng Company said: "However, the storage space that each soul information needs to occupy at least 10gb, hundreds of millions of souls, and even hundreds of billions of souls in the future, will consume a lot of storage space. The cost of building a virtual world is higher. To accommodate a virtual environment of hundreds of billions of souls, it requires at least 1,000 pb of data capacity. The computing speed per second of the intelligent supercomputer must be more than 1000 billion times."

"At present, we can't create supercomputers with such fast computing speed, nor can we accommodate more than one billion soul programs unless..."

"Unless what?" Zhang Nan asked.

"Unless there is a way to create a more advanced Pangu intelligent core, adopt the latest intelligent architecture, improve performance by more than a hundred times, and then create more than 5,000 pieces, such a supercomputer can be made."

Experts say.

“What’s the difficulty?”

Zhang Nan said lightly: "As long as it is based on material things, there is nothing in this world that I cannot create. Let's start and build a virtual kingdom of gods."

"good!"

The expert nodded.

...

It took more than a month.

On February 18, the virtual kingdom of God was successfully built.

It is based on a huge supercomputer device, and the computing speed is unimaginable. It consumes more than 100 megawatts of electricity. The second-generation Pangu intelligent core, which has 5,000 internal pieces, requires a lot of mental power, but it is within Zhang Nan's tolerance range.

After the construction of this virtual game-like world is completed.

Zhang Nan asked the tree spirit to convert all the souls of more than 50 million believers temporarily contained in the "soul space" into electrical signals and load them into the world of the virtual kingdom of gods.

The structure of the virtual kingdom of God is similar to a "chaotic world tree". The main trunk is divided into seven branches, including seven worlds.

They are—
