Dian was sitting on his throne. In front of him, there were several panels that showed him the current condition of the human civilization as well as the situation in the Cerulean Pnet.
‘The situation is getting better overall. The ecosystem is developing while humans have researched new energy sources. Not only that, but they also improved their weaponry, creating that in the process.’
What Dian meant was shown in front of his eyes.
[Nuclear Weapon
Technology Rank: T2
The fruit of researching how an atom reacted and utilizing it as a weapon. Your civilization has harnessed its power for destructiveness. Can be loaded on a bomb, warhead on a rocket, or even miniaturized.
Prerequisite: Atomic Theory
Next Technology Tree Unlocked: Doom Weapon]
Other than that, there were also developments from lifestyle to information reying technology which made it easier for one to communicate.
Human social science was also developed. Due to the Auxiliary Card Dian had added before, the human also had a realization about their own stages of development.
The improvement the overall development had brought to the situation of the civilization’s strength was immense and that was why Dian took his attention there.
Another issue Dian had to pay attention to was the information he had learned from the [Forum]. There, countless information came and went fast. Dian had to shift through that even now. That was why he split some of his attention to learning things presented in the [Forum].
As for how he could split his attention, he was a Pnet Master and splitting his attention was something he was truly capable of doing. After all, to become a master of a pnet required extreme attention to detail and the Pnet Master System provided that assistance in helping the Master manage the pnet.
‘I am just wondering but what is the purpose of the Pnet Master System? Is it to assist someone like me in managing the pnet? Or is there something else I don’t know about?’
Dian was wondering such a thing when another figure appeared in front of him. Not exactly in front of him but some distance away so that Dian would not be disturbed by his presence.
“I was wondering about when you are going to show up, Ghylea.” Dian smiled when the figure appeared in front of him.
The thing that he wanted to accomplish was something he had announced to Leif and Ghylea. All of them were preparing for this moment and not scking off in the slightest.
Ghylea, who appeared to be an undead from the skeleton of a human, said, “All the preparation is done. The issue is that we are cking the use with which to trigger the transformation.”
Dian nodded after hearing what Ghylea had said. Naturally, the st step of the preparation required the cooperation of the Star Child.
Regarding Star Child, Dian had read about it in the Pnet Master Service Center as well as the [Forum].
They were the concentrated manifestation of the pnet’s fortune as well as civilization seed. Combining those two would create a Star Child.
Star Child was the game changer of civilization. They were the ones who could point out a way for civilization to move in a certain direction. Some of them could be famous but most of them were not. Only the Pnet Master knew exactly who the Star Child was, so this became the trump card for a Pnet Master who had a civilization.
Because of that, the preparation that Dian had prepared needed the presence of the Star Child.
As for who would be the fuse, Dian naturally chose the second one.
“The Second Star Child will be responsible for that. This will also cause him to see a bigger world. I have already contacted the people of both sides so you only need to contact the people that are part of you to cooperate.” Dian said.
What he meant was he had already contacted the people in the Thebes Independent Kingdom as well as almost the consciousness in the Library of Consciousness to the relevant person.
At the same time in the Library of Consciousness…
Tatsumi heard about the news that the consciousness brought. He did not know what he should do since he was the one who had to go.
He remained silent throughout the journey. Tatsumi was accompanied by Kudungga but he kept thinking about the news all along the time.
Even until the moment his consciousness was pulled back to the pnet, Tatsumi did not speak a word at all.
The only thought that he had was, ‘What should I do from this point onward?’
Kudungga could only watch as Tatsumi disappeared from the Library of Consciousness, returning to the realm of the living.
“He is confused by the sudden news. Everyone…be silent.” The gathering of consciousness became silent upon hearing that. Kudungga could only remind them that they should not convey what they had too suddenly and in a manner that caused confusion.
Dian, who watched the entire thing, could only hope that the young man would not be discouraged by such a thing.
Then he sent a whisper to Tatsumi who was on the verge of waking up.
“Just do what you have been doing. I will be waiting for you.”
Tatsumi then woke up hearing about something that a familiar voice said. He was surprised to hear that because he was sure that the voice belonged to…
“Father God…is this what I am supposed to do?” Tatsumi murmured before he started light exercise.
Dian was gd that Tatsumi at least knew what to do. Then Dian focused his attention to the entrance to the Undead Secret Realm, where there were people transporting items to the secret realm.
Dian decided to send part of his will, forming a bck cloud near the entrance, which was noticed by the people around.
Gasp could be heard as the people there knew that the moment the clouds formed a figure, it was a signal for them to receive some sort of direction.
One of the people wore a white coat with bck lines streaming down the coat. Dian also recognized the figure as the leading scientist of the Transcendent Research Institute in the Thebes Independence Kingdom.
“Father God, what is your instruction this time?” he asked.
Dian knew that most people had a weak connection to the Library of Consciousness and that was why when he had to announce something important, he would appear in front of some people directly.
Dian’s thundering voice echoed out as he spoke, “Prepare the Malicium and Etherium to be transported to the Undead Secret Realm.
“Second, invite the people that I will describe to you immediately. There should be no mistake.”
Dian then told the leading scientist the description of several people from the Hinon Federation. The leading scientist realized that the people the Father God wanted were within the Federation, but he was sure that progress could be made on the matter.
“Alright. It will be done.” The leading scientist then went to the nearby avaible phone and contacted the relevant people to make arrangement.
After that Dian dispersed the bck cloud as he had done reying information to this part of the world.
Dian was operating the panel where it showed the current situation of the pnet itself. In one yer of space, one could see a bck sphere.
This sphere was located at the center of the pnet’s core, which was crucial to the pnet’s existence. When Dian peeked at what was inside the bck sphere, he could see the city that was built with bones and material that was within the bck sphere.
For human civilization, they called the bck sphere the Undead Secret Realm.
At this time, another figure came and Dian had been waiting for him.
“All the people on my side are ready.” Leif came to the scene as he carried with him the news Dian had wanted to hear.
Currently, Leif was responsible mainly on the Heavensend Continent. The moment that part of the world was ready was the moment Dian could start with what he intended to do.
Leif asked, “I am curious. What are you going to do?”
Dian smirked. Of course, since Leif was his subordinate, he could at least trust that Leif would not mess things up. Especially since the dwarves were living in harmony with humans, Leif became energetic in his work which was also beneficial to Dian.
“When a Pnet Master reaches the second rank, they can imbue the pnet with spirituality using the transcendent energy source. That is exactly what I am going to do.” Dian expined.
“What!? Is that true?” Leif was surprised.
No, Dian frowned as he sensed that Leif was surprised to the point where it was like an exaggeration. It meant there was something important that he did not know but Leif probably knew.
But Dian could not question it since they only had a retionship of a leader subordinate one. Furthermore, this kind of retionship would not allow Dian to know what the subordinate already knew just by being their leader.
Basically, he could not read the mind of his subordinate. He had to form a bond like the humans did with each other.
That feeling to Dian was strange since he did not have even a single being called a friend. But he still made an effort to announce some things or listen to the words that the two came up with.
But from the looks of it, he needed to have some sessions with them.
“After all this, we will have a question-and-answer session. You two…” Dian said calmly, but Ghylea and Leif could hear the underlying tone.
They felt that if they had a physical body, it would shiver uncontrolbly.
“Alright. No need to be so tense. We still have the matter at hand to be handled.” Dian cpped his hand and made the three of them focus on the current matter.
‘Looks like we should tell him all we know.’ Leif shook his head while managing both the people in the Qin Empire as well as the delivery of the Etherium to the Undead Secret Realm.
Ghylea was also focusing on the part of the Necropolis where his undead children were located. They were responsible for escorting the materials to the deepest part of the Undead Secret Realm.
Dian himself was focusing on the overall pnet itself. Especially concerning the spirituality of the pnet, he had to be prepared for any eventuality.
On one of his perceptions, he could feel the movement and pulse of the core of the pnet. It rhythmically moved in a certain manner that Dian barely knew meant as a communication to him as a Pnet Master.
Then he could also feel the living being as well as the materials in the pnet. The living being moved in their own accord while the rest followed.
Dian realized something after countless years of watching and observing. He could feel that the pnet was ready for the process of imbuing spirituality into it.
‘Perhaps the reason Leif is so shocked is because the spirituality of a pnet is of utmost importance. Or it could be that a dramatic transformation will occur once I have successfully done so.’ Dian thought while managing various variables that could affect the process.
When he thought, he also delved himself into the feeling of being the master of a pnet. It could not be more familiar to him since he witnessed the pnet's creation.
The rotation, the movement of the pnet in the space, moving in circles around the violet sun in the far distance. That was how Dian felt the pnet.
‘This is the most familiar thing to me. I cannot be bored when such things happen. But now, I have also borne the responsibility of taking care of the civilization that grew up on the pnet.’
Dian also felt the presence of another thing beyond reality and causality. It was the pce where the Library of Consciousness was located.
There, numerous consciousness felt something important was going to happen. No matter how idle they were, they had to look at a certain direction. The direction where the Cerulean Pnet was located.
Some looked up, the other looked down. There were also those who looked into the distance, and there were also some who looked bnk.
Either way, they could feel something important was going to happen and all it needed was a fuse.
Dian looked at the one who would become the trigger of the spirituality and focused solely on him.
“Now that all the factors are in pce, leave the rest to him.”
-
[Forum] was a pce where Pnet Masters exchanged various information, whether it was trivial or important. It did not matter what, as long as the information was true, they could post it there.
There was one old post, old enough that the seniors Pnet Master had seen it.
[Title: About Pnet Spirituality
I don’t like to beat around the bush, so I’ll be direct. There is only one case of granting spirituality to a pnet when it reaches rank two. However, it is the only case in which the Pnet Master decided to try it at that rank.
Surprisingly, the Pnet Master was successful in the endeavor. The problem was that there were no other Pnet Masters who could do such a simir feat. And many specuted that the condition to trigger spirituality at rank two is something within the civilization itself. But that is merely the conjecture that seniors came up with and there is no concrete proof…
Posted by Onethearch]
This post was also the one that Dian had read. Because of that, Dian knew that it was possible to imbue and grant spirituality to the pnet at rank two.
But the replies below were something that many Pnet Masters felt after seeing the post.
[Satyrchief: I don’t know whether it is possible to imbue spirituality at rank two but it definitely is possible at rank three and above.
Sog: Actually, the sooner you imbue the spirituality, the better your potential is. At least that is what the data from various Pnet Masters indicate.]
[Tritis: I know that Pnet Master. He becomes the strongest of the Ten Venerables due to that reason. So anyone who can do that is definitely one who has great potential
Yuan: Eh? You are snooping here, eh? Didn’t expect that the Diviner herself would be lurking in the forum. Go back and manage your own civilization. They are doing something unproductive again.]
[Arrogantlord: I think I know the one the OP talked about. Yeah, he is currently the strongest Pnet Master. Hey Mister @Yuan, Are you also lurking in the Forum? Ah, he is above me!]
[Goatgoesbinted: This is one of the mysteries that even the Universe Council is still looking into]
Even though the post was almost as old as the Universe Council, many new Pnet Masters saw and left a comment on it.
At this moment, Tritis who was wandering in the Universe Market saw that the post had a new comment on it. She would always read the new comment because it also meant that another new Pnet Master had an impression on it.
[….
Dian: I think that all of the theories that have been established have their merit. They all are partially correct, but the strength of the civilization in a certain aspect needs to be looked closely as it can be the factor of granting a spirituality to the pnet. That is why most Pnet Masters can imbue spirituality to their pnet at rank three and above. The civilization has gained something, and that affects the success rate of the matter itself.
Satyrchief: Wow, so there is some factor in all of the theories that affect the success rate of imbuing spirituality to the pnet. Got it! Thank you for your thoughts. You are a new Pnet Master, right?@Dian]
Tritis saw the comment and knew that someone finally got the clue. She realized that the new Pnet Master was also new and probably went and tried to do it as soon as possible.
But she had to return to her main objective, which was to find the Pnet Master whose civilization was the human race. So far, she did not even find the trace of the Pnet Master because she did not get a clue at all.
All she knew was his general location and not the precise one. Due to that fact, Tritis asked many Pnet Masters about the appearance of a human in the Universe Market.
Only a few saw it directly and currently, her target was probably back to managing his own pnet.
‘This is going to get too long!’ Tritis had to make contact with that particur Pnet Master as soon as possible, but did not expect that she would spend a bit more time.
Even though the flow of time was different when entering the Universe Market, it did not erase the fact that some time had passed.
All the Pnet Master who saw her had a look of reverence as well as yearning, which was still ongoing as she moved from pce to pce. Tritis, however was only concerned about the cause of the changed future and wanted to help as much as possible.
‘That disaster is a camity to the others but to the human race, it is just another day to spend their resource. I must at least ensure that they rise to the peak that the Pnet Master system has established. But I have to meet with the particur Pnet Master first.’
Tritis sighed as she could not get more information regarding the Pnet Master that managed humans. All she could do was to wait for him to appear in the Universe Market on his own.
