Chapter 406: with translation of chapter title

Main text Chapter 407: Reality or Not

After finishing his meal, Xiao Feng eagerly logged into the game again.

Today's discovery was no small matter; he felt he had opened a new door!

So far, he is the only person in the world who has reached the Demigod Realm.

Only he has discovered this!

But in the near future, as more and more demigod players appear, this will surely be discovered by others as well.

This will be a huge factor in changing the current state of Blue Star!

Xiao Feng was a little excited.

He didn't know what kind of change willpower could bring to people.

Because there is no magic in the real world, using that amount of strength for fighting would be useless.

But if he were a thief… it would probably be very useful.

Xiao Feng thought that, in the game, he currently has 10,000 points of willpower, and its effect on the real world is still relatively small.

But if he continues to increase it, becoming 100,000, 1,000,000, what would happen?

Could he become a 'Will Master' in the real world?

He could directly use willpower to control cars and planes, and even lift himself up to fly!

That's possible!

Once supernatural things are allowed to happen, anything becomes possible!

Furthermore, there is another matter that makes Xiao Feng urgently want to know whether it's real or not!

"He Er Na, come here!"

When he returned to the game, he was in the Xiao residence.

This time, he had been offline for only a short while; Zhang Fan and the others were still in a match and hadn't returned home, so only Blind Sister and three NPCs were in the house.

Upon hearing his voice, He Er Na turned into a gust of wind and came to his side.

"Master, what are your orders?" she asked.

"I have a question for you!"

Xiao Feng said.

"What's the matter? You look rather urgent, Master." He Er Na expressed confusion.

Xiao Feng grabbed her hand and quickly darted into the nearby woods.

The small grove of the Xiao residence isn't very large, but it's fine for hiding two people and blocking out low voices.

Upon entering the woods, Xiao Feng immediately asked, "He Er Na, tell me honestly: does this world truly exist somewhere in the universe?"

"Uh... ah?" He Er Na was taken aback by his question.

Then he replied, "Master, why do you ask? The Zhu Shen Da Lu is the lower realm of the Myriad Heavens Universe; of course it's part of the universe."

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "What I mean is, is everything here real? Are the monsters I killed... truly living beings?"

"This..."

He Er Na furrowed her brows and asked again, "Master, why are you asking this?"

"Never mind, just answer me! This is very important!" Xiao Feng said, a bit impatient.

This is really important!

He used to think this was just a game, where everything was data, and he could kill and strike at will without concern.

But if these beings are truly real, living lives...

His actions... wouldn't that be equivalent to slaughtering countless lives?

Seeing his serious and anxious expression, He Er Na pondered for a while before replying, "I think whether something is real or not is relative."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Feng didn't understand.

She said, "In my eyes, I am definitely a real life; once I die, this life ends. But in your eyes, I am merely a false... NPC; even if I die, it's no big deal and won't affect your life in another world."

Xiao Feng frowned.

Such an answer not only failed to dispel his doubts, but made him even more confused.

"I just want to know whether your world and my world are connected!" he emphasized concisely.

"I don't know either."

He Er Na was even more puzzled than him and asked, "Master, what exactly have you encountered? Why did you suddenly bring up these things?"

"I brought willpower into my world." Xiao Feng sighed.

Only by making things clear can we figure it out.

After hearing this, He Er Na relaxed, smiled, and said, "Oh, I see... you're overthinking it, Master."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Feng asked her.

"Willpower is the power of a living being's soul; it truly exists in any world. If you didn't have it before, it only means you hadn't found the right way to train, or perhaps you lacked an opportunity. Now, perhaps having come here and come into contact with these things, you've gradually brought it back."

He Er Na gave an explanation.

After listening, Xiao Feng still frowned.

"I feel it's not that simple..." Xiao Feng said.

If it were just that, it probably couldn't be fully explained.

But where the problem lies, he can't say for now.

Seeing his worried brow, He Er Na again said, "Master,"

"Are you worried that everything in the Myriad Heavens Universe is real, and that powerful divine spirits will destroy your homeland?"

Xiao Feng shook his head.

But then he nodded again, 'You say that, and I really do have a bit of worry about this.'

He Er Na immediately comforted: 'Don't worry, master, this kind of thing won't happen. The strength of gods is built upon rules. If your world's rules are different from ours, even if we go there, we might just be ordinary living beings.'

'Rules? What rules?' Xiao Feng asked her.

'It is... the fundamental rules of the universe. Just like in Zhu Shen Da Lu, the foundation of everything is the five great magical elements and vast matter. So here, you can release magic.'

And in another world, for example, a plane called 'Beast Soul Continent' under the Yuan Su Shen Yu, there are no magical elements; one must strengthen oneself by cultivating beast souls.

The fundamental rules of each world are not necessarily the same. Only the Myriad Heavens Battlefield can accommodate all rules; that is the most complete universe.

He Er Na patiently explained.

After listening, Xiao Feng fell into thought.

So, he cannot cast magic on Blue Star because Blue Star lacks magical elements.

Then... what are the fundamental rules of Blue Star?

Um, no!

One should ask, does this set of rules apply to the starry sky universe where Blue Star resides?

Zhu Shen Da Lu, Elemental Sea, Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

These planes may seem large, but compared to a starry sky universe spanning hundreds of millions or even tens of billions of light-years, they are probably nothing.

At this moment, he no longer simply regards 《Myriad Heavens》 as a game.

Perhaps this Myriad Heavens Universe is indeed a real region existing within the greater cosmos.

It is only because of some special means that civilizations of the universe can enter here and exist in the form of 'players'.

Undeniable, everything here is very much like a game.

Even some dungeons can be repeatedly farmed, the same boss being slain tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times.

But after departing from the underlying game concept, what one gradually encounters thereafter may no longer be purely virtual!

Or put another way... this place was originally a game, but the behind-the-scenes creator wanted it to become real. Thus... these NPCs gradually came to life as real people.

One day in the future, the virtual creatures in the game might actually appear in the real universe.

Who knows...
