Chapter 3 Witness the Opening of the Secret Realm, Unlimited Qiankun Breakthrough Six Times (10,000+)_2
Source Star's initial attitude was the fate of the World of Ten Thousand Clans thereafter.
"Shi Xing, Hu Shan, now that you have returned from Source Star, can you describe the situation there?"
Shi Xing and Hu Shan, being from the Sixth Realm and having returned from seeking help at Source Star, thus attracted much attention.
Neither hid anything.
"I feel Source Star is completely different from us. Although their cultivators also have privileges, there is a bottom line, and if someone kills without reason, they'll be punished. Moreover, their world possesses an extremely powerful object, the Virtual World..."
Shi Xing and Hu Shan particularly emphasized the existence of the Virtual World.
The expressions of the powerful attendees changed yet again, this time with excitement.
After a long while, someone carefully asked, "Do you think we'll have a chance to use the Virtual World?"
Every cultivator knew how difficult it was to advance even a single step.
Countless corpses pave the way for one to reach the Sixth Realm.
At least half of those present in the Sixth Realm doubted they could advance further.
But the existence of the Virtual World might change things...
"Source Star didn't avoid us; even normal people are allowed to use it on Source Star, so we should have a chance."
"Ordinary, un-cultivated beings can use it?"
"Yes, ordinary people generally use it for recreation," Shi Xing honestly replied.
"This..."
The other powerhouses found it somewhat fantastical that such a supreme treasure, instead of being hidden, was openly accessible to all.
It was beyond their imagination.
Of course, their excitement grew inside.
If ordinary beings could use it, though they were subordinate, their strength wasn't bad, so surely they too should get a chance?
Elder Bai, seeing the thoughts bubbling among the attendees, knew what they were thinking.
Even he was tempted...
Over the years, he had found his path seemingly a dead end. The Seventh Realm might be his limit, but he wasn't content. If there was a chance to freely experiment, perhaps there was still hope.
The World of Ten Thousand Clans fell into silence because of the Virtual World.
It was then that they sensed a presence.
Two Sixth Realm presences!
"From the State institute, by the Chief's command, where is the White Fox of the World of Ten Thousand Clans?"
As the voice rang out, Elder Bai and the powerful attendees were jolted awake.
The command from Source Star had arrived!
They dared not delay.
Even though the newcomers were merely of the Sixth Realm.
"White Fox is present!" White Fox was the name Elder Bai used officially.
"The diverse clans of the World of Ten Thousand Clans shall merge into one species, renamed the Beastmen, with new provincial divisions, under the governance of the Union."
The beings of the World of Ten Thousand Clans were special, between the Spirit Clan and Human Race, so for easier management, the high authorities in the Union decided to rename them Beastmen.
"Additionally, White Fox is to guard the inter-world portal for a hundred years; other Sixth Realm cultivators have their own assignments... Long Xing, Zhao Wu as Inspectors..."
The orders were extensive, covering all arrangements.
After the announcement, White Fox looked at the men and said, "You two must be Inspectors Long Xing and Zhao Wu?"
Long Xing and Zhao Wu nodded.
"From now on, we will need your care!"
"It is we who will need your care." The Inspectors, positions of significant authority.
After the command was read, Long Xing and Zhao Wu were no longer aloof, remembering the Chief's reminder.
Long Xing advised, "What the future holds for the World of Ten Thousand Clans really depends on you."
He didn't elaborate further, believing the people of the World of Ten Thousand Clans would understand.
Behave well, and chances for redemption might present themselves.
In truth, Elder Bai had already relaxed after the reading of the command. Although the order imposed many restrictions, it wasn't exploitative, clearly, Source Star had no intentions of using them as a farming world.
Even just this was enough!
"The two of you have come from far away, let us offer you a feast to vouch for your status..."
Long Xing and Zhao Wu would be stationed here for a long time, cultivating good relations with the local forces was necessary, so they did not refuse.
The World of Ten Thousand Clans and Source Star had much in common, so there were no refusals.
During the feast, people from the World of Ten Thousand Clans also inquired about the Virtual World.
Their underlying purpose was clear: they wondered if they had a chance to use it.
With their respectable positions in the Union, Long Xing and Zhao Wu were aware that the Virtual World was no simple matter, perhaps controlled by the officials.
This was hardly a secret.
But even though the Virtual World wasn't much in Source Star, there were some things they couldn't discuss.
Nevertheless, some commonly known facts were openly discussed.
"The Virtual World is expanding continuously; now it nearly covers the entire Source Star and might extend to the World of Ten Thousand Clans before long."
After speaking, they didn't wait for questions from the Beastmen of the World of Ten Thousand Clans.
As Inspectors, their status was high, but there were still untouchables.
Those who inquired had no choice but to let it go.
Yet, their curiosity about the Virtual World only heightened.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng was modifying the Virtual World he wanted to utilize.
After his Breakthrough, his need for Pure Spiritual Power increased, naturally not missing the three hundred billion beings of the World of Ten Thousand Clans.
"Breakthrough Refining God and Returning to Void, the Primordial Spirit begins transformation; the Virtual World has also grown larger, originally barely covering the evolved Source Star, now even another World of Ten Thousand Clans would still leave room..."
Refining God and Returning to Void showed progress even from this aspect alone.
Wang Sheng didn't hesitate, directly creating a large virtual world clone, similar in setup and function to the one in Source Star.
The only difference was something akin to the authority of the Wanxiang Instrument.
This, he left to the Union.
"Not counting myself, the World of Ten Thousand Clans is stronger than Source Star, with a more formidable heritage. Combined with the peculiarly abled Chosen Ones, whether geniuses or powerhouses are more numerous than in Source Star. Once Source Star advances again, let's merge the rankings and make the competition even fiercer!"
