171: Integration

After Her Excellency Catherine departed, the Main Tower research lab returned to its former tranquility.

Brian stroked the warm, Purple Crystal Token in his hand, feeling the authority and protection it contained, his surging emotions gradually calming down and transforming into measured planning.

"Heart,"

Brian said.

"Present, Master." Heart immediately responded, the spiral pattern on her wrist faintly glowing.

"Organize and archive Her Excellency Catherine's evaluation and suggestions, especially those concerning your future development direction, setting them as a long-term focus matter of the highest priority. At the same time, integrate all the creation data and test results we displayed, along with Her Excellency's evaluation, into a detailed internal technical file, which will serve as the cornerstone archive for our existing technological system."

"Understood, Master. Information integration and archiving have begun." Heart executed the command efficiently.

"Spirit Eye Xi." Brian turned to the laboratory clone.

"Master, please give instructions." Spirit Eye Xi's gaze shifted from the Energy Simulator and focused on Brian.

"Based on the successful experience of the Law Roar Cannon, and Her Excellency Catherine's hints regarding law coordination, we need to establish two new high-level research project archives."

Brian's thoughts were clear. Given the characteristics of his own cultivation system, he did not need to rush to optimize the casting speed or consumption of the Law Roar Cannon—

Under the support of the Linghe Meditation Technique, successfully inscribed spells are inherently instant cast, and his Spiritual Power and magic reserves are sufficient to support more than ten full-power casts.

"Project One: [Level 6 Overlimit Spell Law Roar Cannon Full Data Modeling and Theoretical Expansion Archive].

Goal: Not to optimize performance, but to conduct the most thorough analysis and data modeling of its construction process, String Resonance Synergy Principle, and Law Leveraging Mechanism.

This archive will be our most core theoretical foundation for future research into higher-level limit-breaking spells, and even for comprehending related laws when attempting to reach Level 7.

You will lead this, and I, along with the main body, spiritual pupil - source, will provide full support."

"Extremely necessary." Spirit Eye Xi immediately grasped its strategic value. "This will transform a successful inspiration into a reproducible and deeply researchable knowledge system. I will start immediately, establishing the most detailed multidimensional data model."

"Project Two: [Feasibility Study and Preliminary Design of a Level 6 Overlimit Spell Construct based on the 'Law Roar Cannon' principle]."

Brian stated the second, and more ambitious, idea:

"We successfully imbued a Level 5 limit-breaking spell into the ring of judgment. Now, we possess a Level 6 limit-breaking spell, along with more powerful Spirit Eye intelligence and manufacturing technology.

Is it possible to design a construct capable of bearing, or even simulating String Resonance Synergy, to unleash power close to that of the Law Roar Cannon?

Even if initially it can only realize partial power, or requires extremely harsh conditions and enormous cost, its strategic significance would be extraordinary.

You will also lead this project, conducting preliminary theoretical verification and conceptual design."

A strong light burst forth in Spirit Eye Xi's eyes, which was extremely rare for her, given her usually calm demeanor:

"The challenge is extremely high! But theoretically, possibility exists! If we can platformize attacks at the law level! Master, this would be a groundbreaking creation! I will immediately review all relevant technical data, especially the structural data of the ring of judgment and the Spirit Eye itself, and begin the feasibility analysis."

Having arranged these two core research archive projects focused on the future, Brian walked over to the Main Tower's Observation Hall, his gaze sweeping across the increasingly prosperous territory.

Internal integration and planning were equally important.

He connected to the Spirit Eye Network and issued a remote conference command.

"Spiritual Eye Shou."

"Master, I am here." Spiritual Eye Shou's steady voice came through the network.

"I need you to coordinate with Civil Affairs Officer Beethoven to conduct a comprehensive census of all territories currently under our control, establishing a more refined unified governance system and economic model. At the same time, begin drafting the preliminary charters and faculty recruitment standards for the Intermediate and Advanced Mage Academies."

"Understood, Master. This will be a massive undertaking, but I will organize personnel and formulate a plan as quickly as possible." Spiritual Eye Shou accepted the task without hesitation.

"Pupil Slaughter, Spirit Eye - Seek, Spiritual Eye Xiu." Brian contacted the three Commanders.

"Master/Master, please give instructions." The voices of the three sounded almost simultaneously.

"How is the subsequent governance and resource integration of the various secondary planes progressing? I require a detailed assessment report. Also, each of you summarize the lessons learned from these conquests, especially strategies for dealing with different civilizational forms, and compile them for Heart."

The three Spirit Eyes briefly reported their progress and accepted the new instructions.

Just as Brian was methodically arranging internal integration and future planning, the extremely high-priority signal originating from the depths of the Boundary Sea was emphasized again by spiritual pupil - source.

"Master, the anomalous Boundary Sea signal is still being analyzed."

The vast consciousness of spiritual pupil - source transmitted the information:

"The signal source location is stable, distance confirmed to be over 500,000 fa-distance, located in an unexplored region beyond the edge of the known Star Map.

Analysis of the signal's nature has new developments: its core fluctuation is confirmed to be highly related to the laws of space and creation, but the sense of stillness, upon deep analysis, leans more toward a dormant or energy-depleted state, rather than destructive silence.

The preliminary judgment is that it is an ancient, high-level law creation or ruin that has been reactivated for unknown reasons and is periodically emitting its characteristic fluctuations."

A distant, ancient ruin potentially related to high-level space and creation laws?

Brian's Heart rate accelerated slightly.

This was undoubtedly a massive opportunity.

Although internal affairs were numerous, the opportunities in the Boundary Sea could not be missed, especially a discovery that might touch upon the source of the laws.

"Continuously monitor the signal, record all fluctuation data, and establish an independent analysis archive. Mobilize all non-emergency detection units to attempt ultra-long-range scanning, gather as much information as possible, and evaluate the potential risks and required conditions for approach and exploration."

Brian issued cautious instructions.

It would be foolish to rush into an unknown area before his own strength and influence reached a sufficient height.

"The command has been issued. Relevant data has been archived under Project [Unknown Signal X-1]." spiritual pupil - source responded.

Brian stood before the Star Map, his gaze profound.

Internal integration was steadily progressing, new research projects had been established, and a distant, tempting unknown signal had appeared on the horizon.

His path, encompassing conquest, construction, and exploration, was becoming wider and more complex.

Next, he needed to weigh all factors and decide the direction of resource allocation: should he continue accelerating plane conquest to accumulate capital, or prepare for the exploration of that unknown signal?

Regardless, powerful strength was the foundation for dealing with everything.

Brian felt the deep, powerful spell model in his Spiritual Sea, filling him with confidence.

He turned and walked toward the laboratory. It was time to personally participate in the data modeling work for the Law Roar Cannon.

The accumulation of knowledge was also a growth of strength.
