The Divine Plague Curse Technique was developed by Feng Luoyi, a peerless divine skill involving the soul and computational theory.

The history of calculator development in Shenzhou is not the same as the history of computer development on Earth. The computers made by scientists on Earth initially were the simplest "machines," gradually becoming more complex. However, in Shenzhou, it was the opposite. Initially, the two, Cangsheng Guoshou and Elder Ji, imitated the human soul, defining a rough model with mathematics, forming the first calculator. However, it wasn't until recently that Shenzhou arithmeticians discovered the foundational mathematical model for calculators.

Only in a universe more tolerant of "technology black boxes" could such a development route appear.

And the Divine Plague Curse Technique was a byproduct of the early development of calculator technology.

After Wang Qi and Chen Feng proposed the "Human Dao Cluster Theory," the Modern Immortal Path of Shenzhou gained a deeper understanding of divine spirits and human Dao. Wang Qi also threw out two major theorem proofs through the two incompleteness and undecidability theorems—the Turing Machine—grasping the essence of calculators.

These theoretical leaps, fed back into the Divine Plague Curse Technique, resulted in a tremendous enhancement of this dangerous spell.

Initially, this spell was just for killing. But now, Wang Qi can use it to achieve various things.

Seizing divine spirits and creating divine spirits can be done with just a thought.

In the final stage of Wang Qi's battle with the Holy Emperor Venerable yesterday, he was engaged in "creating divine spirits." He was attempting to rewrite the "program" of the Holy Emperor Venerable's Divine Country, creating "AI," aiming to seize control of the Divine Country from the Holy Emperor Venerable.

This is what he is most skilled at.

In the end, Wang Qi had actually created a "god," but that "divine spirit" was drowned by the overwhelming will of the Holy Emperor Venerable.

If described in a visual metaphor, Wang Qi created a "Evil God" with countless tentacles in the void. The tentacles of this Evil God pierced into the bodies of many people. While the Holy Emperor Venerable defeated Wang Qi's "Evil God" with one move, the tentacles left behind still existed within the invaded bodies.

Wang Qi's target this time is those "tentacles."

"Those remaining pieces of data are also 'document' [files]," Wang Qi pondered: "They were once part of the 'divine spirit' I created, possessing the traits of the Divine Plague Curse Technique... They should be usable."

"Usable?" Mi used secret signals to inquire: "For what purpose?"

"To create a new Divine Plague Curse Technique..." Wang Qi replied: "In the future, maybe they'll be used to turn the tables on the Holy Emperor Venerable... haven't thought it through yet..."

After actually battling the Holy Emperor Venerable, Wang Qi understood the Holy Emperor Venerable's goals and trump cards, recognized the Holy Emperor Venerable's current state and abilities, while also identifying the Holy Emperor Venerable's weakness.

"The Holy Emperor Venerable is akin to wanting to fuse a divine Dao system into his body, but hasn't completely succeeded yet, one part of this system still belongs to everyone on this island. As long as I start from these people, there's a chance to outwit the Holy Emperor Venerable..."

"Hmm?" Mi tilted his head: "How to outwit?"

Wang Qi shook his head with a smile. To prevent anyone from independently developing the Divine Plague Curse Technique, Feng Luoyi always guarded against "hackers." Typically, unauthorized access to someone else's calculator would result in jail time and forced involvement with a secret department. Therefore, Shenzhou lacks mature concepts regarding many hacking techniques from Earth.

The method Wang Qi intends to use is "Distributed Denial of Service"—abbreviated as DDoS attacks, to completely drown the Holy Emperor Venerable.

"DDoS"—Distributed Denial of Service refers to using multiple computers as attack platforms to launch attacks on one or more targets, exponentially increasing the power of denial of service attacks.

If the Holy Emperor Venerable used his immortal essence to drown Wang Qi's "divine spirit" with a "quality" DOS attack, Wang Qi plans to do the opposite, turning everyone on this island into "puppet machines," letting all Ancient Method Practitioners "attack" the Holy Emperor Venerable together.

Due to the presence of the divine Dao system, the Holy Emperor Venerable is equivalent to being connected to all Ancient Method Practitioners simultaneously. In other words, this tactic is feasible.

Even the remnants of Wang Qi's first attack might serve as the foundation for the second attack.

"The only difficulty lies in how strong the Holy Emperor Venerable's immortal essence is..." Wang Qi is still somewhat worried that the Holy Emperor Venerable might rely on his formidable "processing power" to overwhelm everyone on the island.

If the Holy Emperor Venerable's body is powerful enough to age a constant star ahead of time, the weak Ancient Method Practitioners on Spirit Phoenix Island might indeed be insufficient to extinguish him.

To be on the safe side, Wang Qi even plans to enhance the strength of these Ancient Method Practitioners.

Upon hearing Wang Qi's idea, Zhen Chanzi was momentarily stunned and instinctively asked: "Aren't you afraid of messing up?"

"Messing up? What kind of messing up? No matter how wild these Ancient Method Practitioners get, they can't possibly overturn the heavens, can they?" Wang Qi's eyes revealed surprise: "Even if they were ten times, a hundred times stronger, it wouldn't be enough to withstand the annihilation by the Modern Immortal Path, right?"

Zhen Chan was put off by this remark. He attained the Dao in the final era of Ancient Method Practitioners, when Heaven and Earth had been depleted, and Spiritual Energy was far thinner than it is now. At that time, excluding Zhen Chan, the combined strength of Luofu Xuanqing Palace was not even as much as Spirit Phoenix Island. As for the top cultivators—at his peak, he might not have been a match for the Holy Emperor Venerable... Alright, Zhen Chan admitted this idea was just flattering himself; he definitely couldn't compare to the Holy Emperor Venerable.

Wang Qi could now treat Spirit Phoenix Island as a dish, in other words, in his eyes, Luofu Xuanqing Palace was at most a side dish to whet the appetite. He could completely wipe out Luofu Xuanqing Palace single-handedly.

A sect with tens of thousands of years of heritage, ultimately surpassed by a young fellow who entered the Dao less than twenty years ago and is only in his twenties; Zhen Chan's mood was indeed complicated.

He thought about it and still advised: "You'd better be careful; in case you get trapped at the crucial moment..."

"Impossible, impossible..." Wang Qi laughed and said, "There's no way! In this battle, only me and the Holy Emperor Venerable are involved!"

"What about the others?"

"Other cultivators? Just broilers." Wang Qi's smile carried a certain inexplicable meaning: "They are important resources that will decide the final battle between me and the Holy Emperor Venerable. Whoever has them will have the advantage. Besides, they can't form combat power."

"Broilers..." Zhen Chan couldn't understand the metaphor used by Earth hackers, but he could hear the immense malice in the word.

However, he had to admit that for Wang Qi, this word was very fitting.

Cultivators who haven't completed Divine Separation Sense Transformation can't even resist the Heart Demon Curse. And on the island, those who have completed this transformation are just a hundred or so. These hundred or so are basically unable to resist the Divine Plague Curse Technique...

For Wang Qi, these cultivators are merely future human flesh computing units. He will transform these cultivators, rewrite Human Dao through Transformed People, and then build his own system on this solid foundation, gradually attacking the Holy Emperor Venerable's domain, eventually seizing his Divine Country.

"So you're still planning to continue spreading the Heart Demon Curse and Divine Plague Curse Technique, right?" Zhen Chan laughed, "After saying so much, the goal hasn't changed, has it?"

"No, the requirements have been added; it needs more careful consideration."

Zhen Chan said, "Speaking of which, how do you plan to start step one?"

"Step one?"

"You and Mi don't even dare to communicate normally! In such a situation, what trick are you thinking of playing?"

Wang Qi frowned more deeply: "That part is indeed troublesome; do you remember what I did in the Divine Capital? Transforming those guys like Zhao Qingfeng into my eyes and ears—the Holy Emperor Venerable can do the same! Theoretically, everyone on Spirit Phoenix Island could be his eyes and ears! It's just that he doesn't have the detailed ability to manage everyone... if I'm not mistaken."

The Holy Emperor Venerable cannot know every detail of what's happening here. Wang Qi feels that although he has the ability to handle everyone's mind on Spirit Phoenix Island, he cannot be fine-tuned to individuals. He even cannot determine who is part of this grand Human Dao, who harbors ill intentions, and who is the anomaly within.

If this wasn't the case, Lian Xinjie and Lian Xingling would have been discovered the moment they returned to Spirit Phoenix Island, and wouldn't have had the chance to infiltrate at all.

Feng Luoyi also mentioned that the Immortal Alliance had a high-level insider in the Heavenly Book Tower. If the Holy Emperor Venerable could indeed cover every corner intricately, then this insider wouldn't even have the space to survive.

The high-level cultivators of Heavenly Book Tower surely have no lack of opportunities to meet with the Holy Emperor Venerable. In such circumstances, this person hasn't been affected by spells, which sufficiently illustrates the limits of the Holy Emperor Venerable's abilities.

The Holy Emperor Venerable does not have abilities detailed to every individual.

"The problem is, how did that insider manage it?" Wang Qi said, "I can't imagine a way to move freely in such a 'ground filled with spies' situation."

"According to Feng Luoyi's description, that 'hidden line' is a Body Integration Realm cultivator, and perhaps there's something that makes it possible for them to do what you can't at the Golden Core Stage..." Zhen Chan uncertainly said. Wang Qi is indeed too overwhelmingly strong; a Golden Core Stage can face a Body Integration Realm. He's not sure if 'common knowledge' still applies to Wang Qi.

Wang Qi nodded: "I did think about this aspect. This hidden line, previously unaware of the true abilities of the Holy Emperor Venerable, could still avoid his detection, which shows the Holy Emperor Venerable's abilities do not apply to Body Integration Realm cultivators. Body Integration Realm Heavenly Persons can evade the Holy Emperor Venerable's detection. Then, what's the difference between me and the Body Integration Realm cultivator? In terms of pure Mana quantity, I indeed am not as good... but in 'Unity of My Method', I should be stronger than most Body Integration Realm cultivators... So maybe the method is relying on my higher Unity of Method Mana to forcibly open a gap in the Human Dao's strength wielded by the Holy Emperor Venerable?"

Power of Human Dao is the power of clusters, related to 'collective consciousness'. Excluding Human Dao power with the high degree of Unity of Magic and Self Mana is feasible too.

Zhen Chan supplemented: "It's also possible that the insider has already been exposed, or maybe he is working as a double agent, playing both sides."

"That's why I didn't specifically go to the Heavenly Book Tower to find that insider and ask about methods of evading the Holy Emperor Venerable's surveillance," Wang Qi said. "I also have my ideas."

"If I can establish a unique field around me unknowingly, make the Holy Emperor Venerable believe everything in this area is normal... Transform Luochen Sword Palace into a virtual Divine Country... there's potential there..."

Wang Qi's gaze inadvertently shifted to the surrounding environment: "Should I first find a pretext to tweak Luochen Sword Palace's Sect Protection Array?"
