Chapter 2244: Young People
The war in the game goes on day after day without rest.
But real life is quite peaceful.
Xiao Feng's virtual form came from Mount Xi Huang to the Floating Island in the East Sea of the Nine Provinces, and the Blood Sword Venerable helped open the Void Gate, allowing him to return to the Earth Plane.
The immortal gate on Kunlun Mountain on Earth opened, pouring out abundant spiritual energy; celestial light appeared in the sky, and nearby residents who saw it involuntarily showed reverent expressions.
"Lord of All Heavens, have you had enough fun?"
He Yunshan's hearty voice came from nearby, transmitted via divine sense.
Xiao Feng replied, "I've been cultivating on Mount Xi Huang for a while; that's not exactly playing. Old Brother He, why haven't you been online lately? What are you busy with?"
Recently He Yunshan and Chen Xiao Ba have been online less often; the earthlings in the game lost the support of two major deities, suffering losses in battle, but thanks to their deep foundations, they haven't been seriously damaged.
While speaking, Xiao Feng flew through the air toward He Yunshan's current location.
He has been in the Nine Provinces for three years, while He Yunshan, Chen Xiao Ba and the others remain seated in the pavilion on Qingfeng Mountain, as if glued to the stone benches, not moving at all.
He Yunshan said, "Wait until you come over, then we can talk slowly." He did not use divine sense to chat remotely about this.
Soon, Xiao Feng arrived at Qingfeng Mountain and entered the pavilion.
Tongtian Sword Saint Li Yuan was also there; in the distance, some disciples of Qingfeng Mountain's master Chen Xiao Ba were practicing and sparring, while the three powerhouses sat together drinking tea, looking quite harmonious.
"Has the Moonlight Lord not come?" Xiao Feng asked casually.
Upon hearing this, He Yunshan countered, "Why do you ask about the Moonlight Lord as soon as you arrive? Are you interested in her?"
"No way, Old Brother He, don't tease me,"
"I was just asking casually." Xiao Feng said helplessly.
He felt his image might be problematic; whenever he asked about pretty girls, others thought his intentions were impure.
I'm not even acquainted with the Moonlight Lord!
But Chen Xiao Ba is more articulate, explaining: "The Moonlight Lord still has many worldly affairs to attend to; many top-tier powerhouses in the Supernatural Alliance are her disciples. Recently, coinciding with the centennial Propagation Assembly, she has been away for a while."
Supernatural Alliance, Propagation Assembly...
These terms sound rather "Xian Xia"-like.
Xiao Feng knew that Earth is a planet extremely similar to Blue Star in environment and population, culture, etc.
The Moonlight Lord Ai'erdaina has Western features, is very beautiful and strong; on Earth she would surely be a national idol-level goddess.
However, she is too strong; probably no one dares to pursue her, so being her disciple is more realistic.
He Yunshan had mentioned the Supernatural Alliance before: anyone who reaches the Supernatural Life Stage can join; the alliance now has over a million members on Earth, and some top-tier powerhouses have lived for thousands of years.
There are even a few who are older than the Moonlight Lord Ai'erdaina.
Such a great organization makes Xiao Feng yearn for it.
If Blue Star one day had as many supernatural beings, it would surely be spectacular.
But a prosperous age cannot be brought about by imagination alone.
To make the Blue Star people strong, his leadership as a pioneer is crucial.
Propagating the teachings requires him to do it bit by bit, gradually teaching everyone how to cultivate and grow stronger.
Earlier, when he gathered with Shen Di and others at home, he had already made a preliminary attempt, and it felt feasible.
After a few pointers, Jiang Ning and Zhang Fan successively broke through.
Moreover, the All-Heavens World itself has much cultivation knowledge to absorb; Blue Star's supernatural culture should be able to reach a certain scale within a century.
However, in this regard we still need to learn more from Earth people to avoid going astray.
"Being busy is also nice; it's more comfortable than those predecessors in the Nine Provinces World who hide in the River of Time." Xiao Feng sighed.
Tongtian Sword Saint Li Yuan laughed, "We're still young; we can't comprehend the mindset of those old predecessors."
Xiao Feng nodded in agreement.
The Tongtian Sword Saint is 100,000 years old; he looks old, but to the whole civilization he's still a youngster.
"Old Brother He, why haven't you been online lately?" Xiao Feng brought up the previous topic.
He Yunshan explained, "My master won't let us play," with a tone of helplessness.
Um……
He Yunshan's master is the Creator God in the game, Chen Jie's father, the sovereign of the Material Universe.
When this big shot speaks, He Yunshan and Chen Xiao Ba naturally must obey.
"Is it that controllers aren't allowed to interfere in the Myriad Races Contention? But I see Qing Tian Jun and Ta Xi Luo still online often." Xiao Feng expressed his confusion.
Chen Xiao Ba said, "They are young controllers, so they can be allowed to join the fight; we are old-timers who master high-level secret arts, and our attacks are too destructive, so we're not permitted to participate. Even the countless descendants of the Plant Civilization, that great tree, no longer take part in battle."
"I see,"
Thus controllers are also ranked by seniority; those with high seniority must not bully juniors, while those only tens of thousands of years old are unaffected.
"Speaking of this, I just came out of Mount Xi Huang and saw
"Fu Xi Laozi. The old ancestor said that soon after the game's contention ends, the conflict will shift to reality. At that time, who will we clash with? The Machine Race?"
Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask.
Fu Xi Laozi's realm is so lofty that standing before such powerful beings, he sometimes forgets what he wanted to ask.
Now we face three controllers; although they are also very powerful, they are not excessively exalted. Moreover, we are peers exchanging views, with no mental pressure, making it more suitable to discuss topics.
He Yunshan replied upon hearing this, "We don't know this either; probably only the Dao Ancestors know. However, since the Myriad Races Contention was derived from the virtual world, in reality it likely isn't limited to just one border; perhaps there will be more changes."
From virtual to reality, an obvious difference is the lack of such flexible teleportation arrays.
Unable to teleport or resurrect, death is permanent; that kind of war is true war.
Xiao Feng actually doesn't like fighting; he doesn't want to see anyone truly die.
But this is decided by the Dao Ancestors, and he lacks the ability to stop it.
"But one thing is certain: the war in the real world will not be just the young generation's affair; perhaps by then we too will go to the front lines." Chen Xiao Ba added.
Xiao Feng is clear on this; Fuxi Dao Ancestor told him that Di Jiang will descend into reality, and in the near future they might encounter it.
However...
It can't be that only the Water Civilization Dao Ancestor is using the 'authority', right?
Humans, giant beasts, insects—each also has a Dao Ancestor presiding over them; surely everyone can snag a few 'big accounts' in the virtual world?
For example, Senior Xuan Die…
... we can bring it up!
Xiao Feng plans to check the situation in ten years; if it's suitable and he can meet the Dao Ancestor, he will put forward this request to help Senior Xuan Die fulfill her wish.
I just don't know who will appear in the real universe at that time—whether it will be that noble and elegant empress, or that delicately carved little loli.
