Chapter 1000
(Unedited)
…
Ji Village is not only a small village within the immortal land but is also a large corporation-like business entity that has already spread its influence in the human race. As of this moment, there are 6 saint rulers that have entered the village and one representative from the peasant clan, according to Ji Ha-jun and Luna Halil, they have permitted such a thing because of a possible threat from any clans.
They would not be able to operate outside of the village with freedom if they did not do so.
And since then the growth of the village became prominent and really fast. Each human clan has gained an advantage because of this and the growth of the clans became really an advantage to every single one of them.
Nowadays, those who wanted to try a new fighting style would always try it in the virtual world first. They would try to perfect it for hours, even days or months, before applying it in reality. This is particularly true especially to those saint rulers who have already decided to go out of the planet and venture to the front lines.
Not only cultivation and fighting technique are learned in the soul virtual world. Formation masters, alchemists, and crafting masters are all using the virtual world to conduct tons of experiments and research in their own fields of expertise raising the status of the non-combatant immortals in the land.
And because of this, the standing of the humans suddenly rose up in the minds of the other races in the immortal land.
The danger of attracting the other race is suddenly imminent and luckily for them, the dragons began to show interest in the virtual technology. But it seems that Shin Jiao is thinking of another thing.
Upon presenting the helmet, Shin Jiao let the ambassador Siloworg test out the new virtual world which uses the beguiling stone.
As he walks towards Siloworg, the latter would take a step backward as if afraid of getting in contact with the stone.
"It seems that he really is afraid of the dream stone." Shin Jiao thought as he just stopped and smile.
"This is harmless… I have already created a new world program for the dream stone to work under. With this, you can safely enter and come out of the dream world. So it is really safe…" Shin Jiao said as if coercing a child.
Upon discovering that the shadow beings and their demon minions are invading their territory, he and a few of his dragon clan warriors attacked them head-on.
The battle was disastrous and it turned the whole land into ruins. It was too chaotic and destruction is all over the place that it turned the whole place upside down.
They thought that the battle would not stop, but who would have known that when the land was tilted over and the cave and things are hidden underground were sent to the land above, they would suddenly fall asleep and enter a land of dreams.
The whole army of both demons, shadow beings, and the dragons fell without resistance to the power of that unknown stone. They fell asleep for how long no one knows.
All they knew was that they suddenly died in that place and were resurrected after six months.
They began researching about the stones, but no one could come closer to that place anymore.
Hence that place has been called the place of never-ending sleep. And worst of all, it seems that one of the demons has learned how to harness the power of the stone to invade, manipulate, and corrupt the minds of those who would fall in that place.
And so upon seeing the stone, how could Siloworg not feel afraid of it?
Shin Jiao was a bit helpless at this time and decided to put on the helmet himself. He then connected the wire to a small box which is the temporary server.
"Set timer to 5 minutes…" Shin Jiao said.
"Look at the display over there." He said as he pointed at the large TV screen.
He has already connected the output of the helmet to the TV screen so whatever happened inside everyone could see it.
As Shin Jiao emerges himself in the virtual helmet, his consciousness then enters a blank world.
On the TV Screen, everyone saw Shin Jiao looking at himself in a mirror which suddenly appears in front of him.
"As you can see, in here you can choose your own avatar and appearance… Whether you wanted to be a human, an elf, an orc, or whatever you wanted to be…" he said as his face changes from one race to another.
After that, he chooses to be a dwarf having a stocky figure and a slightly small stature.
As he chooses his avatar, he then enters a world where he has already created using his knowledge in making soul trapping dimension. The world is not that complete yet as it is only using a small server box. However, it is already enough to awe the onlookers.
In the soul virtual world, those who could enter that place could only show their true appearance. Though there are others who can change their faces, yet the race could not be changed.
Shin Jiao began showing things inside the virtual world until the 5 minutes time is up.
Before Shin Jiao could even say anything, he quickly grabs the helmet from Shin Jiao and immediately donned it on his big head. Luckily the helmet has the ability to change its shape and it quickly fits the head of the large guy.
"One hour…" he suddenly said as he sits on the chair and try to make himself comfortable.
The people around him were a bit flabbergasted upon hearing his words and seeing his reaction. But when they saw the reaction of the others who are with Siloworg, everyone knew that they are also feeling a bit excited.
It seems that every one of them wanted to get their hands on the helmet and try it for the first time. The humans are not that excited as they have already experienced the virtual world.
Shin Jiao shook his head and then takes out another 3 helmets and connects it to the small server box.
The rest of them squabble to take the helmets from Shin Jiao's hand.
He left the room and walked with Maga Luan and Luna Halil. The rest of the high-ups in the Ji village walks towards him and greeted him. Although the saint rulers are higher in cultivation than him, they did not put on airs around him.
They knew that Shin Jiao is not that simple. When they arrive in the Ji village, they discovered that they might be saint rulers, but in this place, their power is of no effect. Their physique might be a bit stronger, but it seems that the environment tends to balance everyone.
If one exerted too much pressure or power that the barrier could take, they would be ejected out of the village and when that happened, the nearest entry point would be within the demi-human clan.
Shin Jiao also greeted them back perfunctory. He dare not show any airs in front of them as he did not want to affect the relationship between the village and the clans.
"Lord Jiao… will the soul virtual world be abolished and changed to the new one?" one of the saint rulers suddenly asked.
In fact, this is what others are also concerned about.
Shin Jiao showed a faint smile on his face.
"The soul virtual world is for us humans to enjoy. I found it, and I am the one who decides who could use it. For the other virtual world, it is by using an array to tap into the power of the dream stones or beguiling stones. It is also a virtual world, but it is far safer than the soul virtual world." Shin Jiao said with a smile.
While the group is walking he began showing then the advantages and disadvantages of the two virtual worlds.
"If the other virtual world could be spread throughout the immortal land, then… then the Heaven and Earth opening could be held in the virtual world, right?" a voice suddenly interrupted the group.
Shin Jiao as a bit surprised as this guy is the one whom he met a while ago when he first entered the meeting.
The guy looks simple, but right now, Shin Jiao could see that the guy seems to have an idea of some sort.
