Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

”Those with good qualities can be bred multiple times, implement selective breeding, and iterate on the qualities of progeny, replacing those trash inferior genes.”

”During the process of the mother nurturing offspring, any issues appearing among mortals should be documented by the Joyful Union Sect. Simply consuming the ungraded elixirs should resolve them. These mothers start reproducing around fourteen years old, and even if they die by thirty, they can contribute sixteen times the population size, so it’s not a loss.”

”Place the mother breeding bases in Gathering Yin Land. During the Yin Year, Yin Month, Yin Day, Yin Hour, Yin Minute, rely on the Joyful Union Sect’s elixirs to impregnate the mothers. Through the array, draw Yin Evil into their bodies during the nurturing process, allowing us to mass-produce Extreme Yin Bodies. This physique is top-notch whether used as a tripod furnace or for demon cultivation.”

”Of course, this method somewhat wastes the mothers and is not cost-effective. You shouldn’t do too many at once, since you can’t utilize or support them all, and turning all into magical artifacts would be extravagant.”

”If constructing a normal assembly line of a million breeding mothers, it could produce a hundred Ten Thousand Souls Banners every year. Supplying a mere two million mortals, do you think this is difficult? Even relying solely on your Blood Refining Demon Sect, you can achieve this.”

”Upon the birth of normal infants, conduct a large-scale screening. Select those with a spirit root to be sent into a sect for cultivation. Those without a spirit root but with an excellent soul or body can be the next generation of breeding bodies or mothers, expanding the breeding scale, while the rest are just consumables.”

”As for those mothers and breeding bodies, when their body functions decline, choose the good-looking ones to sell to the Joyful Union Sect or the Joyful Zen Sect. The rest, you can kill to accumulate Blood Evil Qi, collect the blood for your use, and sell the resentment to the Desire Demon Sect.”

”Carve the flesh and sell it to the Gorging Blood Demon Sect, extract the bones and sell them to the Corpse Puppet Sect or the White Bone Demon Sect, and trade the organs with demon beasts or the Multi-faced Demon Sect. Isolate the eyeballs separately and sell them to the Ten Thousand Eyes Sect; they’ll surely offer a good price.”

”Finally, the remaining unwanted abandoned flesh can be sold to the Corpse Bone Pill Sect. Their Blood Spirit Field should need these as waste material for cultivation.”

”Oh, right, those wombs and reproductive systems extracted from the mothers, you can actually consider utilizing them as well.”

”Still go to the Multi-faced Demon Sect, experts in human modification and grafting, to see if they can design a system enabling wombs to survive independently as genuine birthing machines. This approach will consume fewer resources and offer more intervention capability.”

”If artificial coordination can be realized during offspring nurturing, directed cultivation could be achieved. For instance, the Ten Thousand Eyes Sect needs many eyes, and we could attempt to cultivate offspring with dozens of eyes, and so forth.”

”The Righteous Dao side is doing well, but your Demonic Dao’s resource integration ability is indeed dismal. Bear in mind that win-win cooperation is the capital for progress; you’re simply a loose pile of sand. How can you talk about becoming immortal and achieving Dao?”

”If the Demonic Dao wants to progress, you must understand: cost reduction and efficiency improvement, supply chain cooperation, technology resource monopoly, and nurturing industrialized thinking. Without understanding these, you’ll ultimately be entirely overrun by the Righteous Dao.”

”Hmm? Why such an expression?”

Lu Wenwu rattled on endlessly, then turned to see the Blood River Demon Venerable kneeling there, drenched in sweat, forehead beaded with cold sweat, his gaze flickering between fervor and fear.

The fervor was because Lu Wenwu’s wild ideas were indeed absurd.

If executed in this manner, the growth speed of the Demonic Dao would be unimaginable for the Righteous Dao.

If all the mortals within the scope of the Demonic Dao were raised in this manner, within a few years, one could amass a Sea of Blood, even forge the legendary Yinming Falling Heaven Creation Banner, which could only be produced with tens of thousands of Ghost Infants and Extreme Yin Bodies!

Ascension might be possible!

The fear came from...

Lu Wenwu’s approach wasn’t merely challenging the moral bottom line of humanity; it was entirely changing the developmental path of mortals since ancient times. It was completely opposing the Heavenly Dao!

Challenging the rules of the Heavenly Dao!

If you ask the Blood River Demon Venerable to challenge humanity’s moral bottom line, he still has the guts for it.

After all, that’s what he’s always done, albeit with nothing near Lu Wenwu’s absurd genius.

But to challenge the rules of the Heavenly Dao?

He truly lacks the courage.

Despite the Cultivation Realm’s constant chatter about defying heaven, in reality, how many truly dare to defy heaven?

Crossing a tribulation counts as defying heaven?

Don’t be ridiculous, buddy; thunder tribulations are also part of the Heavenly Dao’s rules, no?

Upon crossing a tribulation and gaining cultivation, isn’t that also part of the Heavenly Dao’s rules?

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Dao directly decreed that ten seconds after a tribulation, one’s soul would shatter and perish instantly, do you think anyone would dare shout about defying heaven to cultivate?

Lu Wenwu, this is entirely different.

On the surface, everything operates under the rules.

But when you scrutinize it, this isn’t conventional defiance of heaven; it’s outright violating the laws of natural development!

This is declaring open warfare against the Heavenly Dao with actual blades and guns!

The Blood River Demon Venerable truly doesn’t dare.

Now, he vaguely understands a bit, what defines ”Demon.”

Unrestrained by any rules, doing as one desires, that’s Demon.

Perhaps this is the true sense of the Demonic Dao.

An utterly defiant opposition to the Heavenly Dao...

This isn’t something the Confucian Family’s ”violating natural laws and human ethics” rhetoric can simply gloss over.

This is genuinely going against the Heavenly Dao.

”You seem quite scared?” Lu Wenwu inquired with interest, ”Weren’t you just looking like ’having heard the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening’?”

The Blood River Demon Venerable, face covered in sweat, forced a wry smile, ”Your Majesty, this... what you described is... it’s somewhat too... too outrageous... I, a junior cultivator, am dull-witted, and for a moment, somewhat... somewhat unable to adapt...”

”Is this still considered outrageous? Seems your acceptance capacity still needs improvement; this is merely bringing certain things into the open, that’s all.”

Lu Wenwu shrugged.

”Cannibalism, throughout history, across the world, it’s always the same. Survival of the fittest, the winner takes all, an unchanging truth since time immemorial. As a Demon Venerable, I assumed you’d at least understand a bit.”

”I... I still understand...”

Sweating profusely, the Blood River Demon Venerable stammered, throat dry.

”But this... this... this is entirely defying heaven... and this method is just too... too...”

The Blood River Demon Venerable was somewhat at a loss for words.

He racked his brains, unsure how to describe Lu Wenwu’s approach.

If put crudely...

It’s so damn inhuman...

Reflecting on his own past deeds, the Blood River Demon Venerable thought that compared to Lu Wenwu’s described methods, he was practically a moral saint...

He merely killed people.

No wonder he became Dragon Emperor, while he remained a mere King of the Demon Path.

Not even one acknowledged by everyone.

”As a Demon Venerable, you are still too immature, somewhat undeserving of the name.” Lu Wenwu shook his head and sighed, ”If extensive killing and strong power qualify one as a Demon Venerable, then Xiaoxi might have already proven Demonic Golden Immortal.”

The Blood River Demon Venerable didn’t know who Xiaoxi was but still bowed his head slightly out of shame.

Lu Wenwu continued, ”Compared to what I just described to you, the explicit process of devouring people and then spitting out bones—true brutality involves consuming people without leaving bones, which is the genuine bloodshed, real cruelty.”

”It’s an invisible blade slicing your flesh, shaped by the dark mire of the entire environment. Everyone can only be washed away by such surroundings, ultimately devoured by those at the top.”

”That is extreme despair, absolute helplessness. From birth until death, facing such an inevitably crushing reality daily, yet without any means of resistance, even death becomes a luxury.”

”At that point, the grievances and desperate emotions fostered by collective consciousness far exceed what your current Cultivation Realm can generate.”

”Can you imagine such a world?”
