Chapter 2271

Eternal Lord, can you make NPCs from the game world appear in the real world? Jiang Ning asked.

Translation: "Eternal Lord, can NPCs from the game world appear in the real world?" Jiang Ning asked.

We need to keep quotes? The Chinese includes 「」. We can keep as quotes or not? Usually we translate quotes as English quotes. We'll keep double quotes.

Thus: "Eternal Lord, can NPCs from the game world appear in the real world?" Jiang Ning asked.

Originally it was the third wish, but now it has become the second.

Translation: Originally it was the third wish, now it has become the second.

The Eternal Lord nodded and said, "Yes, but according to the pact among the clan Dao ancestors, each Dao ancestor can only take one living being from the virtual world and give it a true life."

Translation: The Eternal Lord nodded and said: "Yes. But according to the agreement of the Dao Ancestors of all races, each Dao Ancestor can only take one being from the virtual world and embody it as real life."

Turning virtual beings into real ones is almost like creating something from nothing.

Translation: Turning virtual beings into real life is almost equivalent to "creation from nothing."

Although the soul already exists and only needs a physical body, shaping some powerful NPCs still requires a considerable cost, which the Dao ancestors must bear.

Translation: Although the soul already exists, only the Li Ti needs to be shaped, but shaping some powerful NPCs also requires a considerable cost, which the Dao Ancestors must bear.

Note: "physical body" -> Li Ti per glossary.

If we recklessly turn virtual beings into real ones, the cost would be too great, and the Dao ancestors would also suffer.

Translation: If virtual beings are recklessly turned into real life, the cost would be too great and the Dao Ancestors would also be harmed.

"Only one...?"

Translation: "Only one...?"

Jiang Ning furrowed his brows and looked at Xiao Feng.

Translation: Jiang Ning furrowed his brows and looked toward Xiao Feng.

There's only one, which makes it too hard to decide.

Translation: There's only one, it's too hard to choose.

He wanted to fulfill his promise to Senior Xuan Die and also bring Xiao Mi, Helena, and others to his side.

Translation: He wanted to fulfill his promise to Senior Xuan Die, and also wanted Xiao Mi, He Er Na, and others to come to his side.

No matter which one he gives up, it would be a torment for him.

Translation: No matter which one he gives up, it would be a torment for him.

Unexpectedly, the Eternal Lord laughed and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet; what are you worried about?"

Translation: Unexpectedly, the Eternal Lord laughed and said: "I haven't finished speaking yet; why are you worried?"

"Uh, is there another option?" Xiao Feng's face lit up with joy upon hearing that.

Translation: "Uh, is there another option?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng showed delight.

The Eternal Lord said, "Since this is your chance to fulfill your wishes, the Dao ancestors certainly won't be stingy. Each Dao ancestor can only take one living being, but we have four Dao ancestors plus a Universe Lord, so the quota is naturally more than one."

Translation: The Eternal Lord said: "Since this is an opportunity for you to fulfill your wishes, how could the Dao Ancestors be stingy? Each Dao Ancestor can only take one being, but we have four Dao Ancestors plus a Universe Lord, so the quota naturally won't be just one."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng instantly rejoiced: "Really? Then... how many beings can we bring out?"

Translation: As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Feng instantly rejoiced: "Really? Then... how many beings can we bring out?"

The Eternal Lord calmly replied, "The Universe Lord just informed me via voice transmission that he can take three people for you; adding our four Dao ancestors gives a total of seven slots."

Translation: The Eternal Lord calmly replied: "The Universe Lord just informed me via voice transmission that he can take out three people for you; adding our four Dao Ancestors makes a total of seven slots."

"Seven

！」

Note: The original source split the quoted phrase "seven！" across a line break, so we treat line 【40】 as the opening quote and the word "seven", and line 【42】 as the closing quote and exclamation mark.

Thus:

【17】 "\"Seven

【18】 "\"!"

But we must keep each translation on a single line, no line breaks inside. So we output:

【17】 "\"Seven

【18】 "\"!"

But note we cannot have line break inside the translation; each line is separate. So fine.

Wow, there are actually seven of them!

Translation: There actually are seven, that many!

Xiao Feng instantly felt a refreshing surge rush straight to his spirit!

Translation: Xiao Feng instantly felt a rush of exhilaration shooting straight to his heavenly spirit!

"Great!"

Translation: "Great!"

Jiang Ning was also happy, thinking that all the people Xiao Feng cared about could come to his side, so he no longer had to be torn between two places, and he felt joy for him.

Translation: Jiang Ning was also pleased, thinking that all the people Xiao Feng cared about could come to his side; he no longer had to be torn between two places, reluctant to leave either, and he felt happy for him.

"First decide on the candidates; as long as they don't object, you'll soon be able to see the beings you wish to meet," the Eternal Lord said calmly.

Translation: "Decide on the candidates first; as long as they themselves don't object, you'll soon be able to see the beings you wish to meet." The Eternal Lord said calmly.

How should the seven slots be allocated?

Translation: How should the seven slots be allocated?

Xiao Feng almost instantly had an idea: Senior Xuan Die, Xun Shuang, Xiao Mi, Helena, Denise, Minerva, Xiu Fu, Bing Lu… but that's one too many!

Translation: Xiao Feng almost instantly had an idea: Senior Xuan Die, Xun Shuang, Xiao Mi, He Er Na, Dai Ni Si, Mi Ninya, Xiu Fu, Bing Lu… but there was one extra!

For a moment, he became troubled again.

Translation: For a moment, he became a bit troubled again.

It wouldn't be right to leave out any of them; he couldn't break his promise to Senior Xuan Die, nor could he favor some over others, making it truly hard to decide.

Translation: Missing any of them would be wrong; he couldn't break his promise to Senior Xuan Die, and he couldn't favor some over others, making it truly hard to decide.

The Eternal Lord saw through his thoughts, smiled, and said: "You don't need to consider Xun Shuang; her karmic ties are too great, and she is pregnant. Bringing her out would severely harm the Dao ancestors."

Translation: The Eternal Lord saw through his thoughts, smiled, and said: "Xun Shuang, you don't need to consider her; her karmic ties are too great, and she is pregnant—bringing her out would severely injure the Dao Ancestors."

"This..."

Translation: "This..."

Upon hearing that Xun Shuang couldn't come out, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Translation: Upon hearing that Xun Shuang couldn't come out, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

But this also seemed to be expected.

Translation: But this also seemed to be expected.

If Xun Shuang could be easily brought out, her existence would lose its meaning.

Translation: If Xun Shuang could be easily brought out, her existence would become meaningless.

Xun Shuang's identity is special; she is destined to inherit the supreme god's mission and become the new heavenly way.

Translation: Xun Shuang's identity is special; she is destined to inherit the supreme deity's mission and become the new Heavenly Dao.

If she attains the Dao, the virtual universe will become perfectly mature, and then she herself will be able to traverse the two realms.

Translation: If she attains the Dao, the virtual universe will perfectly mature, and then she herself will be able to traverse the two realms.

It's just a matter of time… but we may have to wait a while longer.

Translation: Only time… perhaps it will take a while longer to wait.

Of course, even if she can't come out now, Xiao Feng can continue to accompany her in the virtual universe.

Translation: Of course, even if she can't come out now, Xiao Feng can continue to accompany her in the virtual universe.

"Let's just decide on this for now," Jiang Ning said, holding his hand, knowing he felt disappointed about Xun Shuang's situation, and encouraging him.

Translation: "Then let's decide on that for now." Jiang Ning grasped his hand, knowing he felt disappointed over the Xun Shuang issue, and encouraged him.

Xiao Feng nodded,

Translation: Xiao Feng nodded,

He said, relieved: "Well, Xun Shuang and the child—I will keep striving. As long as one of us attains the Dao, that will be enough."

Translation: and said in relief: "Mm, Xun Shuang and the child, I will keep striving. As long as one of us attains the Dao in the future, that will be enough."

The Eternal Lord watched, smiling.

Translation: The Eternal Lord smiled and watched.

Jiang Ning reported the seven names: Xuan Die, Minerva, Helena, Denise, Mi, Xiu Fu, Bing Lu.

Translation: Jiang Ning reported the seven names: Xuan Die, Mi Ninya, He Er Na, Dai Ni Si, Mi, Xiu Fu, Bing Lu.

The Eternal Lord noted it down, but did not immediately fulfill this wish; instead, he waited for their third wish.

Translation: The Eternal Lord nodded and noted it down, but did not immediately fulfill this wish; instead, he waited for their third wish.

"Is there still another wish? What would you like?"

Translation: "There's still one wish; what do you want?"

The two looked at each other, momentarily unable to make up their minds.

Translation: The two looked at each other, momentarily unable to decide.

Seeing them hesitate, the Eternal Lord said: "You can just keep it in mind and bring it up later when you've decided."

Translation: Seeing them hesitate, the Eternal Lord said: "You can keep it in mind for now and bring it up later when you've decided."

"You can do that? That's great!" The two, who had been worried about how to decide, both lit up with joy.

Translation: "Can we really do that? That's great!" The two, who had been worried about how to decide, both showed delight.

Keeping one wish is also a good thing.

Translation: Keeping one wish is also a good thing.

In the future, if trouble arises, asking the Dao ancestors for help will be just the thing to get through it!

Translation: In the future, if we encounter trouble, we can ask the Dao Ancestors for help—just right to get through the crisis!

"Let's first make two wishes and keep one!" the two agreed unanimously.

Translation: "Let's first make two wishes, leaving one!" The two agreed unanimously.

The Eternal Lord gave a slight nod: "When you think of me, silently chant my name three times in your heart, and I will hear you and come to see you."

Translation: The Eternal Lord slightly nodded: "When you think of it, silently chant 'Eternal Lord' three times in your heart; I will hear it and come to see you."

Then he said to Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, I have decided to bestow upon you the power of the Controller, using the qualities of your virtual world. Aside from your innate talent, everything else will be like the virtual world, only much stronger. Do you have any objections?"

Translation: Then he said to Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, your Controller's power, I decide to endow you with the quality of your virtual world. Apart from talent, everything else will be as in the virtual world, but much stronger; do you have any objections?"

"No objections, thank you!" Jiang Ning happily replied.

Translation: "No objections, thank you!" Jiang Ning happily said.

I never expected the granted power to also be like something from a game, which makes it more familiar, easy to use, and all the more delightful.

Translation: Unexpectedly, the endowed power could also be from the game; that would be more familiar, easy to handle, and all the more worth rejoicing over.

"All right, then let's begin."

Translation: "Alright, then let's begin."

The Eternal Lord raised a hand and pushed forward from a distance.

Translation: The Eternal Lord raised one hand and pushed from afar.

Jiang Ning's body floated up, then he retreated to the grass behind and sat down quietly.

Translation: Jiang Ning's body floated up, retreated to the grass behind, and sat down in meditation.

Strands of law power surged forth, her

Translation: Strands of law power surged forth, her

A strange vortex appeared above her head, injecting special energy into her body.

Translation: above her head appeared a strange vortex, injecting special energy into her body.

Xiao Feng watched nervously from the side.

Translation: Xiao Feng watched anxiously from the side.

From an ordinary transcendent, in a single step transforming into a Controller—such growth is too great!

This process takes a long time, but no matter how long the two of them stay here, when they go out it's only a few minutes; with the time spiritual barrier present, there is no delay.

In the game, Jiang Ning wields two power traits: Penetration and Destruction.

The Great Destruction Technique is obtained through inheritance and cultivation, while the Penetration Principle is her own insight gained from long practice with archery.

Of course, divine power is not like that.

Her divine seal was initially the common type 'Swift Killing Divine Seal' for the agility-attack archer class; later she became the main god, and after comprehending the Great Destruction Technique, it changed and evolved into the 'Breaking Kill Divine Seal'.

People in the real world have no divine seal crystals.

The controllers of the real world have their energy core in the body; every cell contains boundless power, comparable to a volcanic Hai Chao, or even solar flares.

Jiang Ning's divine power is sharp and overbearing, lacking any of the five elements, wind and thunder, or yin and yang qualities; after merging with her Li Ti, she will grasp the intangible Qi, which can condense into Divine Arrows to slay enemies in Xing Kong.

Even if they are billions of kilometers away in outer space beyond the Blue Star, they will still be hit!

This is the manifestation of the real-world controllers, far surpassing the game world's god king.

Of course, the controllers shaped by the Dao Ancestor still have some gaps compared to those self-cultivated.

The most obvious point lies in willpower.

Jiang Ning's own will has not reached the controller level; even if she obtains the controller's Li Ti, she is only strong in combat power, but lacks

Xiao Feng's ability to manifest myriad forms and freely roam the universe.

But she doesn't need those either; the fundamental purpose is merely for the genetic level.
