CHAPTER 703: CHAPTER 631: THE VILLAGE GETS INTERNET

A battle evaporated into nonexistence.

Tang Yu pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out why these Mutant Beasts had signed their contract marks so readily.

In the end, he could only attribute it to his own charisma that was so overwhelming it transcended racial boundaries.

┐(’～`;)┌

"Are there any creatures in the Mirage Mountain Range that are not inferior to you?"

The White Snake Emperor’s massive head emerged from the lake surface and looked towards the Single-Horned Giant Beast, posing the question. As a homebody snake, it had no idea about the situation in the Mirage Mountain Range.

The sociable Single-Horned Giant Beast began to speak, listing the names of the slightly famous Mutant Beasts in the mountain range.

Tang Yu was slightly disappointed after hearing this.

The six Mutant Beasts before him were the cream of the crop in the Mirage Mountain Range; the rest were only somewhat notable among the Transcendent First Tier. Perhaps their ancestors had outstanding bloodlines, but by this generation, their power had waned.

Inherited memories were fragmented and broken.

The White Snake Emperor, Single-Horned Giant Beast, and the other six were Mutant Beasts that still retained a High-level bloodline.

Even the effect of making soup out of them would be different.

Through the Single-Horned Giant Beast, Tang Yu learned that in the past, the Mirage Mountain Range was home to countless formidable Mutant Beasts, where Third Tier Domain Level was only moderately powerful, and Second Tier Mutant Beasts were considered the weakest among the weak.

However, after Origin Star’s defeat and the collapse of the Star Road, numerous powerful Mutant Beasts perished.

The Mirage Mountain Range was just a small part of the former Star Road. With Origin Star sealed, the Mirage Mountain Range could only struggle for survival in the cracks of space, limited in resources and unable to leave.

They could only rely on their parents passing down their origin power to the next generation to barely maintain themselves.

Yet, as generations passed, the Mutant Beasts’ strength continued to decline, and for various reasons, most lost their inheritance, even to the point of bloodline extinction.

Tang Yu wasn’t too disappointed though, as acquiring the Third Tier White Snake Emperor was already an unexpected gain.

Another top expert added to his Territory.

However,

Looking at just a small part of the White Snake Emperor’s body that emerged above the lake surface, which was comparable to a thirty-story building, Tang Yu couldn’t imagine how enormous the entire body was and felt somewhat troubled.

Among the six Mutant Beasts, the Single-Horned Giant Beast with a nearly twenty-meter wingspan was still considered small.

True Fire Mystic Turtle and Moving Mountain Rat were both as large as a small hill.

Bringing them within Green Shadow’s Defense Circle seemed a bit too conspicuous.

But the White Snake Emperor and the other beasts seemed to long for the human world.

One minute later,

Tang Yu solved this problem.

At the peak of a mountain thousands of meters high, next to Heavenly Pool, he constructed a brand new Sub-territory.

Tang Yu transformed this Sub-territory into a tower shape with red lights flashing at the top.

Soon,

The range of the Sub-territory expanded from one kilometer, steadily growing until it encompassed almost half of the Heavenly Pool.

He then built a training camp next to the Territory Tower.

Primarily in the Spirit Space area at the top level.

He directly used his authority to remove the common and Advanced areas, changing the Spirit Space access rooms into an open-air style.

From a distance,

One could see several enormous stone steles standing tall, with runes inscribed on them that were both gargantuan and mystical, seemingly pulling one in with just a glance.

Whoosh~

Tang Yu’s wrist flicked, and Source Power Particles converged to form a topographical map of the Heavenly Mountain’s summit.

He drew a line on the map and said, "Within this range, you can directly connect to the Spirit Space through the contract marks in your minds. However, this method of entry is flawed as it doesn’t allow for the evolution of Laws. Only by using the several huge stone steles at the training camp can you experience the complete version..."

The Single-Horned Giant Beast and the others had already stopped listening.

In their minds, there was only one thought,

— "The Mirage Mountain Range is connected!"

Within the Spirit Space, there was everything from the human world.

Without having to leave their homeland, where they had lived for at least a few hundred years, and being able to enjoy the human world, that was double the pleasure!

...

Spirit Space, Illusion City.

Now,

just the Green Shadow Floating Island alone had built dozens of training camps, boasting tens of thousands of Spirit Space access points.

The total number of Spirit Space access points across the entire Defense Circle, Luoxia, Yangtze River Delta, Beiting, and Ancient Spirit regions summed up to nearly two hundred thousand, with the number of simultaneous online users maintaining between one hundred seventy to one hundred ninety thousand.

This was just the number of people accessing through the training camps.

The tactical wristwatch had already added the "Spirit Space" access function; as long as one was within the Territory, they could log in to the Spirit Space through the tactical wristwatch. The downside was that the simulation quality was only 99.9%, and Magic/Combat Skills above the Super Tier could not be simulated, with high-intensity fights also possibly experiencing distortion.

Kevin’s research team was currently still working on improving this aspect.

But aside from that, conscious access was hardly inferior, and more conveniently so.

Since the debut of the tactical wristwatch, the number of people online in the Spirit Space had been continuously increasing. Nowadays, there were several million people regularly online, and the peak even exceeded ten million— bearing in mind that the current population was far less than in the past.

Under this ’realm server’ known as the Territory, millions of people could be online simultaneously without the slightest lag.

To sate (tao) the (kong) need (yao) for (bao), Tang Yu had updated the Spirit Space multiple times.

For this, he even established a special department responsible for planning and module construction, while he himself only needed to directly move the well-constructed modules into place.

The Interim Space had already been renamed to Personal Homelands, and with the previous v1.01 version, it added the Consuming Crystal... decoration functionality.

The Spirit Space was now at version v1.12, which developed the "Illusion City" as a public area.

Survivors accessing the Spirit Space could choose to appear directly at their last log-out location in "Illusion City," or within their Personal Homeland.

Illusion City was divided into four major areas: Central District, Changting Street, Tingshui Town, and the Bay Area.

Within the Central District, there was an immense square, unknown in its expanse, named Origin Square.

On Origin Square stood towering structures, emblazoned with the grand characters— Origin Holy Temple.

Those entering "Illusion City" for the first time would come into being inside the Origin Holy Temple.

At this time,

A girl without expressions, talents, or desires, under one and a half meters tall with light yellow pigtails, exited the Gate Number Three of the Holy Hall. She scanned her surroundings expressionlessly, her icy aura of solitude causing some young men on the square planning to hit on newcomers to timidly stop in their tracks.

Such a strong presence, who could stand against it!

She must be a big shot who just arrived at Green Shadow!

But... this big shot seemed a bit young, surely inexperienced. With one’s own powerful conversational skills, it wasn’t impossible to get a chance.

Many people thought so in their hearts.

Their eyes raised, they saw the frame above the expressionless girl’s head— the username "Eighteen-Hundred-Year-Old Girl."

Bystander A: "..."

Bystander B: "..."

Bystander C: "..."

Forget it, this girl seems a bit off in the head; let’s get out of here.

After the White Snake Girl stepped out of the Origin Holy Temple, she looked around at the crowd parting like avoiding snakes and scorpions, feeling somewhat perplexed.

Humans are unfriendly, pitiful.

The human body is so strange, why walk on feet? Unaccustomed.

The White Snake Girl, who had stayed at home for eighteen hundred years, felt timid taking the first step outside of the square.
