Transcendent Dawn

In a vast square, several dazzling portals stand prominently.

Belied figures appear from the portals from time to time, most of them appearing fraught and crestfallen.

“Indeed, these should not be transmission points but resurrection points. The people being transferred here don’t all have the expression of a whipped dog that just got sliced…”

Su Lu nodded, standing in the Resurrection Plaza.

Here, the aura of various Mental Secret Realms is even stronger.

“Using numerous Mental Secret Realms as a cornerstone to build a main city? Truly a genius idea…”

A normal person’s mind defense is weak, but what if they’re gathered together? What about tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people?

Not to mention, the group also included a substantial number of Occupational Persons.

This kind of stacking effect means that even if Su Lu’s physical self were to come here, he couldn’t necessarily destroy this central city.

“Moreover… the principle of resurrection, I seem to understand. These players, they are not Spiritual Bodies or real bodies, they are only ‘Virtual Projections’…”

The physical bodies of the players are in the Material Realm while their Mental Secret Realms are in the main city. The players Su Lu sees on the plaza are just the ‘game characters’ manipulated by their consciousness!

“As they are game characters, they obviously don’t have Mental Secret Realms, which is why my spell failed before…”

“What a fantastic idea, using Mental Secret Realms as a log-in device, each individual has a unique ‘account’, and the part of the spirit that controls the game is carried by the Mental Secret Realm…even if there’s a loss, you’d be at most dispirited for a few days… Upon death, that part of the spiritual power dissipates and a new spiritual power is generated from the Mental Secret Realm, and this is the principle of ‘resurrection’.”

A flash of light appeared in Su Lu’s eyes: “Almost a perfect ‘resurrection mechanism’, but the players still die… if they die too frequently…”

He felt that his previous battle perhaps created numerous zombies in the Material Realm.

This was perhaps a secret that even the players themselves were unaware of!

“Besides this, the biggest disaster is if the main city is breached!”

The main city holds numerous Mental Secret Realms, not only are they the players’ private resurrection pool and log-in device, it’s also where they have their life!

Once the main city is broken, millions of Mental Secret Realms will instantly crumble, and every player will in that instant die or their physical body in the material realm would turn into beasts!

“But there’s no solution, there’s risk in everything…the defenses of the central city are barely enough, along with so many ‘immortal’ players to labor…hehe…”

Su Lu sneered, squatting down, his right hand touching a stone brick: “Heart Trick!”

The defensive capabilities of a city were surely dreadful, but he was only looking to dislodge a single brick.

Furthermore, there was no need to even destroy this Mental Secret Realm.

Quickly, after breaking through the defenses, the memories of a person called ‘Momo’ appeared before his eyes.

[Ding! Acquired Guni Language, current level LV1!]

Su Lu ignored everything else, first learning the universal language of this world.

Immediately after, he gained a massive influx of geographical knowledge and ordinary memories.

Guni Star!

This is the sole planet confirmed to have life in the known galaxy.

It has existed for tens of millions of years, gone through multiple epochs and wars, before finally completely eliminating biases of nations and races, realizing world unity.

At present, the Guni World has been divided into 52 areas and operates under a selection system. The degree of civilization has developed to a level where they can use space machines to explore nearby planets.

As for civilian technology, things similar to trains and planes were already invented long ago, particularly communications and entertainment. Not only is there a global virtual network, various types of virtual reality games have also emerged.

However!

This virtual technology is still immature, with the ability to simulate reality reaching at most 50%.

However, with the emergence of one game!

It seems like a greeting to the Guni people from the Divine, or perhaps a joke played by an alien. With inconceivable technology, it has enveloped the entire world!

Up till today, more and more people prefer to call it – Lord God Game!

This game, let’s just call it a game for now, does not need any devices or signals. As soon as players merely wish to log in during their dreams, the perceived reality reaches 100%, causing scientists of every area to be excited and shudder.

Its main theme, is quite simple, it’s about fighting against Warmonsters!

In this vast world, there are over a hundred scattered human main cities, but the number of Warmonsters is larger!

They have lost their sanity, wildly savage, and hold a considerable amount of hostility towards the players.

Not only that, every once in a while, a large group of powerful Warmonsters would appear without reason, forming a ‘Beast Tide’ and assaulting the human main cities.

Fortunately, by relying on the defense of the city walls and the immortal nature of the players, no main city has fallen so far. In fact, they could even continually make inroads into the dark regions surrounding them and hunt powerful wild BOSS monsters.

Actually, the constant fighting was a poor experience and did not attract some players.

However, curiously, the number of players entering the game was increasing while those choosing to quit were extremely few.

Because even if you only sell materials, you can earn a decent income in the Material Realm. Every area seems to be subtly encouraging the players to play the game.

Moreover, there were some strange rumors.

For instance…this is a real world, and the transcendent power obtained in the ‘Inner World’ may be brought to the ‘Outer World’.

The girl, Momo, did not really believe this.

But this fact left Su Lu deep in thought.

He exited the girl’s Mental Secret Realm and checked a few around him, drawing a similar conclusion: “A spiritual tide resurgence?”

The Dawn of the Gods in this world was strange.

It was divided into two worlds, an ‘Outer World’ in the Material Realm, and an ‘Inner World’ composed of three Spirit Worlds.

The Outer World is a developed technological, physics-oriented world.

And the Inner World, is primarily based upon mysterious power, it seems to be constantly in a state of spiritual tide resurgence!

“Interesting! Interesting, a dual-faced world. It’s the first I’ve seen.”

Su Lu, hands behind his back, leisurely strolls in the colossal city.

At this time, various voices constantly entered his ears:

“Beast Cores! Selling eight First Order Beast Cores! I only want real world currency!”

“Alchemist Pablo Factory, taking all types of orders!”

Of course, the most frequently discussed topic was the recent ‘Destruction Dragon’ incident.

“I’m telling you… that’s definitely the final BOSS!”

A slightly chubby young man was passionately discussing with a group of people: “Do you guys know? I was the first to discover it! I was also one-shot by it.”

“I have killed numerous wild beasts, but this is the first time seeing an intelligent-type BOSS, it is without a doubt the final BOSS.”

Su Lu moved forward with a bewildered face: “Excuse me… what does final BOSS mean?”

“Brother? You’re a newbie, huh?”

The young man glanced at Su Lu: “I’m called Jun Ren, from Area 33.”

“Su Lu, Area 34.”

“Su Lu, don’t you want to know why this game exists?” Jun Ren made a grave expression: “I think… this is a world that’s constantly declining, so the Divine—or perhaps aliens—came to our world, brought us players into this place to serve as its heroes that would save the world! As long as that final BOSS is defeated, we can accomplish the goal!”
