Chapter 530: Chapter 36 Virtual World_2
Wang Sheng did not need to construct each rule one by one.
Of course, even if derived, it could not exceed Wang Sheng’s own understanding of the rules.
Yet, for the current Virtual World, it was a huge change.
“Although it seems all the rules can be simulated without change, in reality, there is a huge difference… If that’s the case, let’s begin!”
Wang Sheng didn’t hesitate and began constructing the fundamental rules.
In addition to the basic Five Elements, he also constructed rules for Yin and Yang.
These were all natural rules.
Next were the cultivation rules, which actually boiled down to two paths:
Body and Spirit.
With these two fundamental rules in place, any path of cultivation could be encompassed within the Virtual World.
And with Wang Sheng’s realm, in the future, strong individuals from Datong, when cultivating in the Virtual World, would feel a significant difference.
That was “reality.”
Previously everything was simulated, but now it was cultivation under the rule of the Virtual World.
Although it still wasn’t possible to achieve a hundred percent simulation, the feeling would be completely different.
It took one month, and Wang Sheng had constructed all the fundamental rules.
However, he didn’t put them into use yet.
Therefore, the changes in the “Virtual World” were not just like this.
Apart from the simulation of rules, there was another very powerful function.
“Avatars, the Virtual World can disperse the same avatars, deploying them into different regions, and those regions would also experience the arrival of the Virtual World.”
Why did Wang Sheng’s Spirit World only affect the Central States?
Isn’t it because the strength wasn’t strong enough to cover the entire planet?
Although now the coverage of the Virtual World had long exceeded the Central States, because of Destiny Dynasty’s characteristics, each dynasty was far apart, and the exceeding ranges were all wasted.
This also led to the dispersal of pure spiritual power in many states of Datong not being harvestable.
But with the existence of “Virtual World Avatars,” these problems could be solved.
“Currently, three Virtual World Avatars can be split, any more would affect the Virtual World itself, but this is sufficient…”
Three Virtual World Avatars, plus the original, meant his Virtual World could cover up to four states the size of the Central States.
“If seeking four densely populated states, the Virtual World can cover over four billion people, thereby, the harvest of pure spiritual power wouldn’t just be double the initial estimate!”
Two functions, one rule simulation and one avatar, both extremely powerful functions.
“First construct the Virtual World Avatars, then proceed with transforming the Virtual World.”
Wang Sheng didn’t hesitate, and began to construct avatars in the core of the Virtual World.
After a while, three orbs of light appeared in his hand.
“Splitting avatars is easier than imagined, and doesn’t need too much consumption, but… to let these Virtual World Avatars descend, a certain amount of spiritual power is needed, and maintaining them in the future also requires the avatars themselves to sustain.”
The Virtual World always needed pure spiritual power to maintain operation.
“Avatars” were naturally the same.
But Wang Sheng was not worried.
Other states had long been expecting the diffusion of the Virtual World.
“Since that’s the case, first place the avatars properly, then bring the communication platform online.”
Choosing the provincial capitals naturally couldn’t be random, so Wang Sheng summoned Huangtian.
“Sir, what do you need from me?”
“Nothing much, just want to ask you, if you had to let the Spirit World descend, which three states would you choose?” The external world had called it the Spirit World for over twenty years, and he did not intend to change that.
“The Spirit World descending upon three states?” Huangtian’s breathing became a bit rapid.
The benefits of the Spirit World, as the head of state, he was very aware.
Datong’s abundance of strong individuals was inseparably linked to the Spirit World.
Now, not to mention others, for cultivators at the Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster levels, as long as their talent reached a certain standard, breaking through was not difficult at all.
The status of Grandmasters remained high today, but it couldn’t compare to the past.
It was akin to the status Martial Artists once had over ordinary people.
“But ever since its inception, the Spirit World could only be accessed in Zhong State, so the limitations were still significant.
Other states’ cultivators mostly never had the opportunity to use it.
Although Datong officials had always been using Datong College’s branches in other states to recruit highly talented individuals to come to Zhong State for cultivation.
Compared to Zhong State, other states were worlds apart.
The development was extremely uneven.
This was something Huangtian and all senior officials of Datong did not want to see.
An imbalance was tolerable, but this was clearly beyond the limits.
However, facing this issue, they had no means to change it, as the Spirit World was simply too exceptional.
“Sir, are you suggesting that other states could also utilize the Spirit World now?” Huangtian knew, given the significant relationship between the sir and the Spirit World, that these words were not spoken lightly.
“Of course, but apart from Zhong State, only three other places could utilize it. These three places need to be more flourishing and populous, with more powerful individuals, to maximize its effectiveness.”
Wang Sheng rarely went out and naturally did not know which places would be most suitable.
“Sir, according to your requirements, there are indeed a few states that qualify: Yan State, Qian State, Hanhai State, Wu State. Among these, Yan State, Wu State, and Qian State, because they are near Zhong State, don’t have as high costs when using the Teleportation Array, so they have developed quite well. Hanhai State, because it’s near the sea and close to the territory of the Dragon Clan, has also developed very well… Of course, there are other options…”
With an intimate knowledge of Datong’s development, Huangtian quickly identified several regions.
“Show me the detailed information.”
“I’ll have someone bring it immediately, sir.”
It wasn’t long before Huangtian’s people arrived with the information on several state governments.
After briefly reviewing it, Wang Sheng saw that Hanhai State, with its proximity to the Dragon Clan and abundant marine resources, had many martial artists taking root here, making it the state with the strongest martial prowess.
As for the other states, they were much of a muchness, with the only significant difference being the population of ordinary people.
Eventually, Wang Sheng chose Hanhai State, Yan State, and Qian State.
“Go and prepare these three states’ representatives; the Spirit World will descend after a while,” said Wang Sheng.
Huangtian’s face lit up with joy, “Yes, sir.”
After Huangtian left, Wang Sheng also began the final adjustments.
This time, it was not just about letting three Spirit Worlds descend, but also about bringing the “Exchange Platform” online.
While he was making adjustments, it didn’t take long for word to get out.
In fact, the first to learn the news were not Yan State and the other two states, but Zhong State.
This was all a deliberate calculation by the Datong officials.
The reactions to this news were most intense among those forces that had transcended the Great Grandmaster Level but had broken through late.
“The Spirit World is finally going to descend elsewhere, huh? If not for the presence of the Spirit World, we would have left Zhong State long ago!”
“Zhong State already has the Body Cultivation Path, Heavenly Martial Dao, and other paths. We broke through too late, teachings are difficult, and we are simply no match, but the Spirit World is too important; we had to stay in Zhong State, now it seems we can leave!”
These forces, broadly speaking, simply couldn’t compete with the paths that broke through earliest.
But with the Spirit World in Zhong State, they couldn’t leave.
Otherwise, they would lose their biggest advantage.
So, despite intense competition, they had no choice but to stay, even though they could attract disciples from other states; their influence was simply too low.
Only by relocating their headquarters to another state could they hope to increase their influence.
Now was their chance!
Thus, many forces secretly started packing up, preparing to leave.
Couldn’t be the Overlord of Zhong State? Being the Overlord of another region would suffice, right?
It was not only the Human Race; the Spirit Clan was even more severely affected.
Thus, the number of Spirit Clan members planning to leave was not small.
Of course, even those planning to leave still maintained their bases in Zhong State.
All this was deliberately leaked by Huangtian and other higher-ups.
They aimed for this exact outcome—to relieve the pressure on Zhong State but also to develop other states.
A month later, as everyone waited for the news, a new announcement from the Spirit World descended.
[The Spirit World will undergo a significant update…]
