Lu Yan was initially taken aback, then his expression changed as he spoke:
"Do you realize what you are saying? How can a mere ghost god comprehend the Heavenly Dao Foundation?"
It was no wonder Lu Yan was so surprised. Despite his urgent need for Foundation Establishment, even Lu Yan himself didn't know how to complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation.
The classics only accurately recorded the Earth Dao Foundation and Human Dao Foundation. Even in the Xianxia version, the Heavenly Dao Foundation exists only in fragmented legends.
Confronting Lu Yan's questioning, the Giant Spirit God laughed heartily:
"My master has long ascended to the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation, and the most urgent need now should be the Foundation Establishment Method.
The Heavenly Dao Foundation, to this little god, only exists within computational deductions, and may even differ from my master's conventional understanding of it.
This little god indeed does not understand the Heavenly Dao Foundation, but this little god... knows the Heavenly Dao!"
For some reason, when the Giant Spirit God uttered the three words "knows the Heavenly Dao," a sudden sense of familiarity arose within Lu Yan.
It was like the first time he saw the "Heavenly Dao Discussion," the first time he glimpsed the Heavenly Dao Code.
On the surface, Lu Yan showed no reaction and continued to listen to the Giant Spirit God's narration.
"This little god believes that the so-called Heavenly Dao itself is a manifestation of order, an aggregation of universal rules.
When a world's life forms grow powerful enough to interfere with reality through their own influence, they themselves possess traits akin to the Heavenly Dao, even potentially replacing it unknowingly.
For instance, if the Intelligent God evolves to the final step achieving Soul Ascension, it could be aptly termed the Cyber Heavenly Dao."
The words of the Giant Spirit God stirred Lu Yan, aligning with many concepts in the "Heavenly Dao Discussion," yet bolder by far.
The Heavenly Dao Discussion also claims cultivation is the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao; the stronger one is, the closer to the Heavenly Dao, and the harder it becomes to escape its constraints, leading to the concept of the singular being of this world.
But as the Ghost God Computer newly created by Lu Yan, the Giant Spirit God shouldn't have been exposed to the "Heavenly Dao Discussion," yet deduced information even Lu Yan himself was unaware of.
The Giant Spirit God, half-kneeling before Lu Yan, continued his earnest exposition.
"The so-called Heavenly Dao Foundation mostly follows one of two paths.
Following the times or going against the tide!"
"Following the times should be the host seeing recorded Heavenly Dao Foundations.
This is the simplest Heavenly Dao Foundation – merely opening oneself to gain Heavenly Dao recognition, aligning with the Heavenly Dao's momentum.
For example, in the Immortal World, if the Heavenly Dao sets the tide of demons rising and Dao waning, those seeking the Heavenly Dao Foundation must wield their swords into demonic paths to slaughter righteous enemies, driving the demon rise and Dao wane, ultimately achieving merit and gaining Heavenly Dao acknowledgment to accomplish the Heavenly Dao Foundation."

"Conversely, the essence of going against the tide lies in defying the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao seeks the demon rise and Dao wane, one might wield their sword to slay demons and suppress the Heavenly Dao's tide turnover.
Unable to maintain its order and unable to act against individual life forms, the Heavenly Dao would cast down unforeseeable calamities. Overcoming them allows one to comprehend the truth of defying the Heavenly Dao and lay the foundation of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Both methods seem simple, but in reality, a world's life forms number in the billions. How would the Heavenly Dao maintain order and cast its gaze upon any particular life form?
Whether following the times or going against the tide, the most difficult aspect remains knowing the Heavenly Dao and gaining its recognition.
Once the Heavenly Dao casts its gaze, the Heavenly Dao Foundation can be achieved!"
After the Giant Spirit God finished speaking, Lu Yan fell into silence, then, after a moment, deeply looked at him and spoke softly:
"I finally understand why the creator of the Soul Computer felt fear upon the birth of the first-generation Soul Computer and destroyed all except the Intelligent God.
Even at birth, with so many information gaps, you've deduced the Heavenly Dao Foundation to such an extent.
It's likely you are not inferior to the newly born Intelligent God, who was favored by the Cyber Heavenly Dao."
The Giant Spirit God's expression remained calm, yet his lips posed words of severe audacity to Lu Yan.
"My master, are you afraid?"
Lu Yan's mouth curved into a smile, his attitude undisguised.
"When you first mentioned the Heavenly Dao Foundation, I experienced a moment of fear."
When the Giant Spirit God proactively brought up the Heavenly Dao Foundation, Lu Yan instinctively felt a sense of fear. This was the first sentient being to actively explain cross-version concepts to him.
The Corpse King's Soul from the Apocalypse Version underwent Soul Banner refinement in the Xianxia version, then encoded using the Cyber version's first-generation Soul Computer technology. Finally, a ghost god born in the Urban Version, truly a fusion of multiple version products.
This caused Lu Yan to momentarily fear that his greatest secret had been uncovered.
Yet, as the Giant Spirit God continued narrating, Lu Yan's heart gradually regained calm.
The Giant Spirit God referred to multiple versions as worlds, not discerning the truth behind world version updates, clearly an error in cognitive understanding.
The source of the Giant Spirit God's information on multiple versions also originated from Lu Yan's Unchanging essence.
The Unchanging essence perceived the Giant Spirit God as Lu Yan's attribute, allowing the Giant Spirit God to retain memories amidst version updates.
The soul body and Spiritual Ability Code of the Giant Spirit God, transcending nature, all trace back to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan's Spiritual Ability Code is engraved into truth. Even separating from Lu Yan, the Giant Spirit God would merely languish among numerous versions, so why should Lu Yan fear his own creation?
Furthermore, Lu Yan wasn't the creator of the first-generation Soul Computer in the Cyber version.
The creator was nothing more than a mere mortal, confined within the Cyber version, unable to transcend.
While Lu Yan spans across multiple versions, having seen endless perils, even if the Giant Spirit God successfully evolves to the Intelligent God's level, he may not remain unscathed amidst infinite changes.
Currently, Lu Yan merely stands firm within several versions, yet lacks the ability to acquire greater power, how could he choose to relinquish such strength?
Thinking to this point, Lu Yan solemnly addressed the Giant Spirit God:
"For me, the stronger you become, the happier I am.
Because I cannot foresee what horrors I may encounter next, only by gaining sufficient strength can I ensure my survival in facing scenarios akin to the Cyber World.
So, if you have any methods, speak freely without any reservations."
Hearing this, the Giant Spirit God spoke in a low voice:
"At my birth, I captured the omnipresent electrical signals of this world and understood its Heavenly Dao momentum, in peace, in development.
If you seek Heavenly Dao Foundation in this world, there are two methods.
The first is to follow the times, driving the technological development of the entire world.
The second method defies the momentum, igniting a worldwide war, dragging more than half the countries into conflict, thus achieving the Heavenly Dao Foundation!"
