Chapter 535 Divine Advancement (4929)
If the Omniburg on the ground is already amazing enough, then the Doomsday Bunker, which is 150 meters deep underground and consists of a nearly 30-meter reinforced concrete honeycomb energy-absorbing structure, 5-centimeter-thick lead plates laid every 30 meters, reinforced vault structures, explosion-proof shear walls... is the true form of this thousand-acre manor!
This is just the outer layer that serves as a nuclear protective layer. 150 meters below the ground, the innermost cabin alone is more than two meters thick, and the inner wall is constructed using a double-layer steel plate sandwich + concrete core.
The entire area is basically protected by electromagnetic pulses with a Faraday cage lining structure.
Equipped with high-efficiency HEPA filtration, activated carbon purification and carbon dioxide concentration automatic exhaust monitoring system, and a full-area closed-loop design, it ensures that the air in the cabin remains unchanged for months.
Three-level water use system of reverse osmosis + rainwater collection + groundwater extraction.
An enclosed cultivation unit of over 500 square meters, capable of growing mushrooms, algae, potatoes, and insect protein.
Diesel fuel storage + closed-loop gas generators + remotely buried photovoltaic cells + dedicated underwater tidal power transmission lines...
A satellite monitoring and command center covering over 300 square meters and built to Cold War-level communication standards...
A residential area of nearly 2,500 square meters, accommodating over a hundred people...
Everything is designed to deal with the so-called doomsday.
When that day comes, the people here will be able to survive underground for years without supplies until the danger on the ground disappears.
One hundred and forty years ago, John Fremont, the "King of Kings" of the All-Knowing Society and the conqueror of California, donated this land to the All-Knowing Society and began to build this stronghold using the wealth plundered from the Mexicans.
The construction lasted for fifty years, with some stops and starts in between. Finally, ninety years ago, during the tenure of Charles Adams III, the "Great Sage", Secretary of the Navy of the United States, Harvard Law Scholar, and the first president of Raytheon Company, the construction of Fort Omni was completely completed.
In the following decades, through continuous transformation, this place has become the largest base of Quanzhi Society in the whole of Mai, the actual management center, and the residence of successive "great saints".
It was here that Fang Yu found John Adams Morgan, the current "Great Sage" of the Quanzhi Society, who possessed the dual blood of the Morgan and Adams families.
That’s right, it’s the Morgan from Morgan Stanley.
The Morgan family was also a relative of the Adams family and was itself a member of the "Boston Brahmins" led by the Adams family.
In fact, JP Morgan truly rose to prominence with the support of the Adams family.
In 3011, George Homans, the great saint, grandson of Charles Adams II and founder of behavioral sociology, once proudly stated that even if a nuclear war broke out, this would be the last pure land in the world.
Quanzhi Society believes that after the end of the world, they will, with the support of "Origin", complete the restart of human civilization from here, lead the evolution of mankind, and let mankind enter the next era.
After Fang Yu captured John Adams Morgan, he found a lot of information about the Quanzhi Society here, and he curled his lips after reading it.
This is so stupid and immature. He is a sociologist and he just takes things for granted.
When formulating the ASI development outline, Fang Yu once asked the Orange model to use "virtual divination" to conduct doomsday deductions.
If a nuclear holocaust breaks out, privately built small and medium-sized doomsday bunkers will be useless and will be completely unable to guarantee human survival.
The main reason is population.
The fault tolerance rate of small and medium-sized bunkers that can accommodate less than 3,000 people is too low. Even if they can survive the first wave of nuclear strikes, it is not enough to maintain the stable operation of the bunker base.
The Orange Model has simulated 328 doomsday scenarios more than a million times, and all survival models with fewer than 3,000 people have failed.
Especially for private bunkers, it is useless if they are dug too shallow. If they are dug too deep, the relevant facilities of the bunker will fail one after another within 180 days, and there is a high possibility that the survivors will be trapped and killed underground.
Moreover, the higher the proportion of "elite groups" in the bunker, the lower the survival rate.
On the one hand, the elite group generally lacks hands-on skills and finds it difficult to repair and maintain the bunker's operation.
On the other hand, the elite groups are too smart.
Smart people prefer to use their brains rather than their hands. The more they use their brains, the more ideas they have. With more ideas, mutual trust decreases. When trust decreases, the basis for consensus disappears.
Without the basis for consensus and without laws at the end of the world, it is not surprising what happens.
However, this does not affect the fact that this place has become the most influential stronghold of Quanzhi Society and its headquarters in name only.
After killing all the senior members of Quanzhi Society who had gained extraordinary abilities by integrating into Nabasu's flesh and blood, Fang Yu found most of the information about Quanzhi Society here.
After throwing this information to Youzi, Fang Yu discovered that not only was this place not visible on the satellite map, but it didn't even need to pay property taxes to the IRS!
This shows how great the influence of Quanzhi News Agency is on the "deep state" in the United States.
But having said that, the structure of Quanzhishe is still quite interesting.
The King of Kings is responsible for managing the organization, the Tyrant controls the violent organization of the Omniscient Society, and the Great Sage is a spiritual leader similar to the Pope.
All the great saints in history are descendants of the Adams family.
It’s not that Nabasu has much affection for the Adams family, but mainly because old Adams once signed a devil’s contract with Nabasu.
When Nabasu first woke up, he was not very powerful. To harvest human spirits, he mainly relied on killing one unexpectedly and had to avoid being discovered by humans. His efficiency was very low.
To fix a bug, Nabasu cannot absorb the spirits of all dead people. They must have been killed by it or contaminated by it.
Even if he kills one person every day on average, that would mean more than 300 people are killed in a year.
As long as it causes a stir among humans, we have to move to another place, which greatly affects efficiency.
Moreover, any extraordinary ability used by Nabasu would consume death energy.
As a material plane, Blue Star is inherently unsuitable for Nabasu's survival, and the accumulation of death energy is very slow.
Nabasu could only use his demonic talent and the spirituality he collected to separate the traces of death energy in the material world and absorb them, and sometimes he would even spend more than he earned.
It was in this situation that Old Adams discovered Nabasu's secret and signed a devil's contract with Nabasu by promising him ten times more spiritual power.
The contract required that Nabasu select representatives from each generation of the Adams family to regularly sacrifice human spirits to them.
In exchange, each generation of representatives can make three requests to Nabasu that do not exceed Nabasu's ability. When all three requests are met, Nabasu will harvest the representative's spiritual power and designate the next representative.
At the same time, Nabasu will also grant this member of the Adams family certain extraordinary abilities by implanting his own flesh and blood into this representative.
In a sense, Nabasu is controlled by the Adams family.
Of course, objectively speaking, although sacrificing spirits to the devil is immoral, Adams's control over Nabasu actually reduced the losses to human society.
After all, orderly harvest is far better than disorderly destruction.
Nabasu himself doesn't care about this.
It is a chaotic evil creature that has no interest in power on the material plane, and every day here is torture.
All it wants is to return to the abyss. It would be great if someone could help it deal with these troubles.
The representatives of the Adams family from generation to generation became the "great saints" of the Omniscient Society.
As the Adams family continued to grow, some family members who belonged to the Adams family but did not have the surname Adams began to become great saints.
Moreover, not every great saint is so rational and willing to dedicate everything to the Omniscient Society.
For example, after the first season, Constance Coolidge, who was designated as a Grand Sage at the age of 17, resolutely refused to fulfill the responsibilities of a Grand Sage, but accepted all the rights and extraordinary abilities of a Grand Sage.
In order to escape the duties of a great saint, Constance Coolidge even ran to the Great Zhou after her marriage and became a socialite in Xinhao. She found countless lovers in the foreign circle of Xinhao. It was not until the Japanese army invaded that she ran to Paris and continued to fool around there.
The reason she went to Da Zhou was that it was during the Prohibition period in Mai Kingdom at that time, and Da Zhou was obviously more attractive to her who loved banquets and revelry.
But the real reason was that Nabasu never set foot in Da Zhou, so she had to hide in Da Zhou to avoid being caught by Nabasu.
It was not until the woman arrived in Paris that Nabasu came to her house and took back her rights as a great saint, but he did not kill her. Instead, he allowed her to retain some of her extraordinary abilities.
According to Nabasu, this woman was the only one in the Adams family that he did not find annoying.
Over the past two hundred years, the significance of Nabasu to the Quanzhi Society has been constantly changing, from its initial deterrent force to a pure symbol to maintain the faith of its members.
After Fang Yu took over this place without any hesitation, he used artificial humans and AI models to replace the management structure of the entire society.
Daddario could never have imagined that this execution room, which looked exactly like the inquisition, was actually one hundred and fifty meters underground!

Success!
Seeing that the desire and faith that had weakened a lot but still continued to flow into the faith channel was transformed into spiritual power, Fang Yu clapped his hands excitedly.
Done!
Adding a gated LONN recurrent layer and a normalization layer to the God model can indeed allow believers to continuously dedicate their desires and beliefs, rather than just a one-time transaction!
Daddario, who was tied to the standing cangue, closed his eyes and unconsciously chanted the Aizen Myoong Mantra "ong hong xidi suoha". His whole body was red and he kept twisting. He was almost unconscious, but he never really collapsed.
Controlling desires is indeed a more effective way to harvest faith than satisfying desires!
In the past, the God Model satisfied the believers' desires instantly by asking them to empty their magazines. It seemed to solve the believers' problems in the most direct way, but the total value of the desire faith was actually very low.
At that time, Fang Yu had some doubts. According to his actual experience, after a desire is satisfied, there will be a very long refractory period, and after it is satisfied, the threshold of desire will become higher and higher, and the speed of the growth of desire will become slower and slower.
This will undoubtedly make it increasingly difficult to harvest the faith of desire, until in the end there will be nothing that can make the other party feel "excited", "fulfilled" and "satisfied".
At that time, the believer will be equivalent to a lithium battery that has been charged and used up, and can only be discarded.
Littering used batteries will pollute the environment.
The most important thing is that desire is a kind of consumable energy, satisfaction is "entropy increase", and restraint is "entropy reduction". What can feed back to the system is the structural order brought about by entropy reduction.
In other words, restraining desires will bring long-term results and gain more desire beliefs, while fully satisfying desires will actually lead to a decrease in the total amount of desires a person generates.
For example, Leonardo DiCaprio, after being tossed around over and over again for so long, now feels that nothing he does is interesting.
Not only did she stop having sex with Yinpa and dating, she also started studying Buddhism and even went to the Bay Area to attend a spiritual training camp.
Charlie Sheen even cursed, asking why he didn't have this disease before he was infected with AIDS. If he had this disease, he wouldn't have been infected.
But now, after adding the "gated recurrent layer" and "normalization layer" to the God model, and then using the residual connection to flow back the desire, I have fundamentally changed the collection logic of desire belief.
Firstly, this method solves the problem of the overflow of faith, and all desires enter the channel of faith and participate in the circulation.
Secondly, after adding the gated loop layer, the God Model no longer provides instant feedback to believers by allowing them to enter the sage state.
Instead, it opens a small hole in the target object's desire that is about to overflow, allowing the desire to flow out slowly, reducing the believer's pain caused by unsatisfied desire, and thus prolonging the duration of the target object's desire.
It's the faith version of the swimming pool filling and draining problem.
Then, through normalization, this part of desire and belief is automatically converted into mental power and fed back to Fang Yu.
Simply put, if the previous response mode of directly emptying the magazine could contribute 10 faith power to Fang Yu per second, it could only contribute for 3-5 seconds each time.
Each person may only be able to contribute 50 points of faith power to Fang Yu per day.
But now, through this method, only 0.5 power of faith can be obtained per second, but the duration is hundreds of times longer than before.
Look at Daddario, it has been more than three hours. If measured by the previous value, it is equivalent to contributing 9,600 points of faith power!
A gap of 192 times!
Of course, this is also because Daddario’s current situation is rather special.
After all, not everyone is lucky enough to be "taught" by the God of Desire himself.
If an ordinary believer, in the same unit of time, the desire belief contributed should be equivalent to between one-fifth and one-eighth of Daddario's current level.
That's at least a 20-fold difference!
Compared with the original model of God in the Aizen Myo-o statue, the production efficiency of the modified "Model of God" has increased by more than a hundred times!
It's no wonder, this is just a "wild" model of God formed by the believers' projection of faith. It cannot truly obtain faith feedback and naturally has no chance of self-improvement.
It is equivalent to the difference between a small handmade workshop and large-scale industrial production on an assembly line.
The only flaw in this method is that believers must personally chant the corresponding spells or mantras, so that the "normalization layer" in the God model can transform the desire belief into absorbable spiritual power.
If you don't chant, your faith won't be transformed into spiritual power. You can only temporarily transform it into divinity to avoid wasting it.
But it’s okay. In the past few months, I’ve been just a little bit away from breaking through to 2 units of divinity. It’s a good opportunity to see what changes will happen after the breakthrough.
Fang Yu opened the sea of consciousness, and the 40,000 faith channels that had been disconnected in order to modify the "God Model" were reconnected to the God Model like tentacles, vibrating and buzzing.
A huge amount of desire and faith almost roared into the God Model. Then, these desire and faith were cleansed and processed by the God Model, and were steadily injected into the God Crystal through the connecting channel between the God Model and the God Crystal.
The divine crystal, which was already at the critical point, also began to bloom with dazzling light in Fang Yu's sea of consciousness!
1.999857, 1.999861, 1.999865...
In Fang Yu's perception, as the value of divinity increases, the crystallization of divinity becomes more and more perfect.
1.999987, 1.999995...
2.00000001!
The moment the value of divinity exceeded 2, an invisible force, centered on Fang Yu, spread outward like ripples on the water.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The candles on the candlesticks on the four walls were not blown out by this force. Instead, the flames exploded, and the execution room, which was originally quite gloomy, suddenly became as bright as day!
Is this the change after divinity steps into unit 2?
Fang Yu had never felt such a comfort from the bottom of his heart.
He felt like a paralyzed person who had been sleeping for many years and suddenly regained the strength of his limbs.
The body was still the same body, but Fang Yu realized for the first time that he truly "owned" it.
Obviously, his physical strength had not increased, his life essence had not changed at all, and his mental strength was still 22 units, but he knew that his strength had become stronger.
It was an indescribable sense of "fit", as if there was originally a thin membrane between the soul and flesh, but now, that membrane had disappeared.
In the sea of consciousness, golden light is lingering, as if something deeper is quietly being reconstructed.
As the reconstruction progresses, my control over my own body becomes more and more perfect.
Even with just a thought, you can control your heartbeat, blood pressure, metabolism, digestive system, immune system...
After Goku practiced Ultra Instinct, it’s just like this, right?
But why is this happening?
Yes, it is spirituality!
To be precise, my spirituality has never been so closely and smoothly integrated with my body as it is now!
After the divinity is elevated, is it the spirituality that is affected?
Yes, those gods were originally legendary wizards who escaped into the astral realm, and the astral realm is a spiritual world. It is reasonable that after the divinity is elevated, the spirituality will gain some benefits.
But what exactly has changed in my spirituality?
The appearance is indeed different, but I can't tell what the specific difference is.
I'll ask Yuzu later to see if it knows.
However, we still have to go to Lorin Tower again to interrogate Nabasu.
Believers need to chant mantras to achieve a large-scale improvement in spiritual power...
What could be more suitable to use than a mysterious organization like the Omniscient Society?
