Mythological origin

The three of them went all the way inside from the periphery of the zeroth floor of the War Fortress.

"Welcome to server 1444, information retrieval..."

An enthusiastic AI synthesized voice sounded when they formally entered the inner area.

Every war fortress is loaded with billions of players in a big thousand leader ship.

This so-called "war fortress" does not seem to be very big inside. There are only nine squares for players to gather on the first floor, but in fact, it uses space technology to arrange an independent space for each "player" .

Although Lin Yuedong didn't know any space spells, he could vaguely perceive all of this with the intuition of a fifth-level monk.

"Player Lin Yuedong, it is detected that you are entering the game for the first time. This is your space access token from floors [-] to [-]. With the token, you can freely transfer from the personal space to the lobby on the first floor to the lobby on the fifth floor. Please accept it is good."

"Player Lin Zilan, it is detected that you are entering the game for the first time. This is your space access token from floors [-] to [-]. With the token, you can freely transfer from the personal space to the lobby on the first floor to the lobby on the fourth floor. Please keep it safe. "

Two voices sounded in their heads respectively, and at the same time there was a long series of digital tokens in their memory.

As long as you recite this string of digital tokens silently within the scope of the war fortress, you can enter their independent space.

"..."

"Such a huge system can really be built in less than a month?" Lin Yuedong was a little puzzled.

He remembered that it had been less than four weeks since the last meeting of the Senate was held.

And during this period of time, there was no news of any major moves by the empire.

It was as if all of this came out of the ground.

"This is the crystallization of the cooperation between the Empire and Shields." Chen Xi responded.

"Silders? You mean, the War Fortress is the technology of those demons?" Lin Yuedong was taken aback for a moment.

Hundreds of years ago, when human beings left the earth, there was a group of crazy people. They neither chose to go to the moon, nor chose to stay on the earth, but walked out of a road that no one had imagined before.

They created the giant space worm "Silders" and tried to go to other space layers.

But the bodies of these monks were too fragile. With the backward space shuttle technology at that time, they could not bear the pressure of traveling through the space layer with their bodies.

So these crazy guys chose to give up their bodies collectively, and only boarded the "Ark" Shields in the form of souls, wandering through space layers one after another to obtain resources and grow themselves.

For a long time, the upper echelons of the empire have been in touch with the "people" on Shields, exchanging information with them.

After all, most of them are experts in space layer exploration. Although the number is far less than that of the empire, the coordinates of the space layer they master are not inferior to Terra.

The resources and treasures from other worlds are very valuable to monks in the main world.

Some things that are as cheap as dirt in other dimension worlds can be sold at a good price in the main world.

For example, in Shields' hands, there is an asteroid that is almost entirely made of gold...

Of course, they will not be so stupid as to expose it directly and destroy the price of gold in a wave, but strictly keep this secret.

It's just that every time it trades with the empire, a batch of gold is provided by the way, but it is far from causing a huge price impact.

Although the empire does not use gold as currency, the cultural traditions have not changed for thousands of years, and there are many people who believe that gold preserves its value.

With a market size of one trillion people in the empire, it would not be a problem for Shields to dump [-] to [-] tons of gold each time.

Gold, which is completely worthless to them, can be exchanged for massive supplies, technology, and even population when they get the empire, which is a very profitable business.

……

However, rather than calling them "human beings", most monks who knew about the existence of Shields preferred to call them "demons".

Because the monks on Shields do not have a human body, they follow a route similar to ghosts and immortals.

Constantly travel through, capture the bodies of other lives, devour and control their civilizations.

In terms of the degree of evil, it is far better than the empire.

But because the two have a common origin and a common enemy, a certain guy who cannot be mentioned, Terra and Shields can still maintain a good cooperative relationship.

"That's right, it's them." Chen Xi said with a little nostalgia.

She is an old man who has experienced everything back then, and she has some friendship with some senior executives on Shields, and knows a lot of inside stories.

Although Lin Yuedong and Lin Zilan were about the same age, their status was too far apart. When the humans on Terra left the earth, he was just an ordinary person, incomparable to Chen Xi, who was already a fourth-order monk.

"Some true immortals of the empire, in cooperation with several ghost immortals of Shields, reverse engineered a small part of the game, and by modifying the underlying code, built this war fortress within a day."

Chen Xi quietly told Lin Yuedong this secret, which further drew the relationship closer.

She was not Lin Yuedong who happened to be rescued by passing by, but she "just happened" to come to this area under the guidance of a certain immortal from the Gray Witch Tower.

"It's a pity that I haven't become a fairy, and I can't really jump out of the chessboard like those adults." She continued to sigh.

In this virtual reality game built with the power of the World-Suppressing Golden Talisman, real immortals have no way of distinguishing the virtual from the real. Like Chen Xi and the others, even if they know it's just a game, they can't get out of it.

Because in their eyes, everything is the same as the real world.

But those who have already reached the immortal rank are different. If they want to leave, it is not impossible.

After all, the Zhenshi Golden Talisman is just an incomplete Talisman that has been used once.

What Bai Mo wanted to do was to provide a trial ground, not create a cage.

So even if he knew that a group of true immortals in Terra were reverse engineering the game, modifying it and cheating, he didn't see it.

After all, 20 years later, it is the real evil corpse.

Now it's purely a simulation game.

If they feel the modified game simulation works better, then change it.

……

"Master Tianhu is not one of the billions of heroes, and he must be a fairy!" Lin Zilan glanced at the social terror expert beside him. Lin Yuedong, who didn't understand flattery at all, sighed softly in his heart, and instantly transformed into a cat-licking mode.

"According to your words, these few drops of Emperor's Ointment should be regarded as a gift for your sister." Chen Xi smiled after hearing this, and took out an amber-shaped thing from the interspatial ring, which sealed a few sparkling drops. Shiny liquid.
