Chapter 893 The Weakening of the Real World

Just when Chu Qiguang crossed the void, controlled Matt to climb to the top of the apartment tower, and at the same time browsed through various records of the paradise.

The intelligence he collected in the void has also made new progress and gains.

From a large amount of intelligence information from the past, he gradually pieced together a part of the past history.

As the server of the paradise evolved into a flesh-and-blood deformity, as the paradise became a second world accessible to all human beings, the competition for this second world has never stopped.

All kinds of forces and people entered it in an endless stream, for the sake of wealth, power, and fame... wanting to gain a place in the second world.

And the rules of Paradise after the change are also different from before.

It is said that the authority of the paradise has been turned into various fragmented spells, scattered in every corner of this virtual world.

As long as you absorb the mantra, you can obtain the corresponding authority to change the server code, turn the world upside down in the paradise, call the wind and rain, and even change various world laws in an area, becoming a god-like existence. . .

Legend has it that if someone gets all the spells, he can control the entire paradise world.

In order to compete for the authority of this virtual world, human beings have exploded with great enthusiasm and conflicts.

As the struggle continues to spread, the highest authority in the virtual world is mainly divided into 21 parts, which are controlled by 21 different people.

These 21 authority controllers each occupy one side of the paradise and established 21 different forces.

In these 21 different areas, the laws in the area are also different because of the different controllers.

There are people who will always have good weather, sunny weather, and live and work in peace and contentment like a peach blossom garden.

There are also cooperation with the governments of the real world, completely in line with the laws, currencies, etc. of the real world, and become another real world.

There are also those who still maintain the appearance of the game world, where people can upgrade to fight monsters and master various extraordinary powers.

There are also areas in the sky, in the ocean, in the starry sky... all kinds of strange laws are contained, and different social systems have evolved.

There is even an area where you can completely abandon your physical body and live in paradise with your own consciousness.

Looking at the information on these 21 sub-regions of the paradise, Chu Qiguang thought to himself: "Authorities...different divisions...a bit familiar. '

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his mind: "The people there are quite good at playing." '

Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Qiguang asked, "Jiaojiao? Are you awake?"

Jiaojiao and Chu Qiguang maintain a state of complementarity between humans and cats, which means that Chu Qiguang can use his ability to monitor the entire Buddhist world at any time and manipulate countless monsters.

It also means that Jiaojiao can see the scene on the other side of the void through Chu Qiguang's Taoism.

Looking at all kinds of information about Paradise World, Jiaojiao said excitedly: "This world is so interesting, should we do the same?"

"This virtual world is very similar to Monternet. Is it possible to make Monternet like this?"

When Jiaojiao said this, she seemed to have seen countless people and monsters working hard under her encouragement.

And she just needs to give them some virtual feelings with a random thought.

She couldn't help but think: 'It's a lot of money. '

'If everyone lives in Monternet, wouldn't the entire present world and the Buddhist world be mine? '

As if he had guessed Jiaojiao's thoughts, Chu Qiguang said: "It's not that simple. If you want to load the consciousness of so many creatures, the current Monternet is far from being able to meet the load."

"From this point of view, the virtual world technology in this world is far superior to ours, but it also exposes many disadvantages of the virtual world."

"Even so, there are still many things in this world that we can learn from. We can cross the river by feeling the world."

"It's just right that you are here, and you can learn some advanced experience in this world with me."

As the living corpses around roared fiercely, the efficiency of the ritual increased again, and a large amount of void information kept pouring into the minds of Chu Qiguang and Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao looked at her and said, "Brother, what did you mean when you said you looked familiar?"

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "Don't you think that the structure of this paradise is similar to the current universe in some places?"

Jiaojiao frowned: "Is there?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Our universe is run by the way of heaven. As long as you master the ability to interfere with the operation of the way of heaven, you can move mountains and seas, and even change the rules of an area."

"The paradise world is composed of servers and codes. As long as you have the authority to interfere with the codes, you can move mountains and seas, and even change the rules of an area."

"Our universe is divided into many areas with different rules because of the division of various powerful existences similar to the emperor."

"As for Paradise World, it is also divided into 21 areas because of the division of powerhouses who have obtained the highest authority."

"In our universe, we need to learn different knowledge and comprehend the way of heaven in order to obtain various extraordinary powers, and even interfere with the operation of the way of heaven in the end..."

"And in Paradise World, gaining authority and interfering with the code also requires relevant knowledge."

When Chu Qiguang said this, Jiaojiao's eyes moved: "It really looks a bit like it."

Chu Qiguang nodded: "I always feel...a kind of experimental feeling."

Especially thinking of the extraterrestrial being summoned by the ritual of the virtual world, which caused changes in the server of the paradise, Chu Qiguang has not been able to fully understand the other party's plan until now.

"Let's not talk about this." Chu Qiguang said: "Did you gain any ability after waking up this time?"

Jiaojiao proudly said: "I can see luck!"

"See luck?" Chu Qiguang's eyes lit up: "That's right, then just take some time in the future to take a look at the luck of those high-level monster clans outside the territory, and transfer all the monster clans with high luck, you should be able to Let the qi layer last for a few more years."

After discussing the plan for the balance of luck, Chu Qiguang continued to feel the information constantly coming from the void, and said slowly: "Let's see, the next step should be the process of unification."

Jiaojiao: "Huh? Will there still be fights? It looks quite peaceful."

Chu Qiguang said: "It is said that the long-term must be united and the long-term must be divided. The reason why their real world is not unified is because of various factors such as terrain, distance and technology, they missed opportunities."

"No matter how far the virtual world is, as long as a teleportation function is turned on, it will be the same."

"Furthermore, the power of these 21 people may not be much different in the virtual world, but the gap in the real world is too great."

"As time goes by, the gap in strength between them will become wider and wider, and eventually there will be a strongest person, driven by interests, to unify the entire virtual world..."

The following history is just like what Chu Qiguang said. With the passage of time, the 21 forces in the virtual world began to undergo various changes.

First of all, due to the interference of the real world, under various real physical threats and attacks, these 21 forces began to annex each other.

In just 30 years, only the last 21 of the 3 forces remained.

Two of them are represented by two powerful countries in the real world, and the other is a director of the original paradise.

The name of the director is Zhang Wendi, and he is the one who originally organized the farewell ceremony for the players, which caused the virtual world to change.

His physical body in reality was also judged to be brain-dead by the doctor, but his consciousness lived after the ceremony and has always existed in Paradise.

Because he does not have a physical body in the real world, he has been unable to be threatened by governments, companies or other forces in the real world.

At the same time, it was he who created the rules in Paradise that can live forever in Paradise with only consciousness without a body.

Relying on the temptation of eternal life and freedom, he bewitched a large number of human beings to abandon their bodies and live in paradise.

Among these people are elderly people who are dying, disabled people with severe physical disabilities, criminals who have nowhere to go, and naive dreamers...

And Zhang Wendi did fulfill the promise he made at the beginning. Apart from resisting the attacks of other powerful people with high authority, he did not interfere too much with the freedom of human beings on his own territory.

He is like a high god, just granting the believers eternal life and freedom, and allowing them to develop.

Even Zhang Wendi took the initiative to delegate a large amount of authority, so that all the humans on the site have the magical power to move mountains and seas in the virtual world, and even change some simple rules...

Seeing this, Jiaojiao said in her heart: "This Zhang Wendi...has the greatest time advantage. As long as he continues to develop like this, the population in his territory will continue to skyrocket, and eventually even exceed the combined population of the real world. "

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Their real world has only a few billion people at most, and the number of people who died from ancient times to the present may be hundreds of billions. As long as Zhang Wendi keeps absorbing those who are about to die but don't want to die, they will be guaranteed in the conscious world. Their eternal life will be able to continuously absorb the population."

"And it's not just a time advantage, his tactics are a dimensionality reduction blow to the two major powers."

"His offensive is not to defeat the two major powers head-on, but an offensive of ideas and an impact of values."

"How much temptation will it be to real people to live forever in the virtual world and live freely and comfortably like a god?"

"On the contrary, the two major powers cannot do this because they cannot give the people such high authority, because their laws and currencies are in line with the real world."

"Once the people are given such high authority, it will have a huge impact on the real world."

"Secondly, when more and more people become addicted to the virtual world, the marriage rate and birth rate in the real world will continue to decrease, and the relationship between the two worlds will be reversed..."

What happened next in history seems to be exactly what Chu Qiguang said.

Under the temptation of immortality and life like a god, the population on Zhang Wendi's land continued to skyrocket. In the real world, tens of millions of people who were about to die poured into the paradise every year.

And among these dying people, many of them were even old people who had previously held high positions in the two great powers.

Even apart from the dying, more and more poor and underprivileged people began to pour into his world.

In contrast, although the two major powers continue to provide various benefits in the virtual world, such as flying, efficient sleep, and working from home... But the benefits given by Zhang Wendi are too insignificant.

Seeing that the population of the virtual world is approaching the real world year by year, Jiaojiao said: "But... Zhang Wendi can't be so kind, right? Judging from the later history, the future days of Paradise will not be so happy."

Chu Qiguang said: "Zhang Wendi and the two big powers, they are like two platforms, and they attract customers by offering benefits in the early days of their business."

"After one party defeats the other and completely monopolizes the entire market, it will naturally be impossible to continue to distribute benefits as before..."

Jiaojiao said: "Don't people in that world know this? You can guess this, right?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Then who should sacrifice himself and not enter Zhang Wendi's world to obtain eternal life?"

"The temptation given by Zhang Wendi seems to be a choice, but in fact there is no choice at all."

"Very few people would choose to sacrifice themselves."

"Even for many people... rather than self-sacrifice, it is better to go in a few years earlier and enjoy more before there is no benefit."

Jiaojiao said: "But... But this enjoyment will only be enjoyed for more than ten years, decades? If the rest is eternal life, wouldn't it be eternal to be controlled by others?"

"Shouldn't they find a way to unite and find a way to take away Zhang Wendi's authority?"

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "The only lesson that human beings can learn from history is that human beings never learn lessons."

"Coveting short-term comfort and ignoring long-term interests is the instinct of intelligent life after long-term evolution, which is very suitable for the natural environment."

"But this set doesn't work in a society composed of intelligent life."

"Most mortals can't bear to read a few more books to improve their test scores half a month later."

"You expect them to give up the temptation of decades of life of the gods, to consider the illusory interests decades later? Even sacrifice themselves for the sake of future humans?"

"No, compared to future satisfaction, people prefer the enjoyment of the present. Compared with the interests of future generations, most people pursue the interests of their own generations."

"It's not their fault, it's an instinct engraved in their hearts by the universe."

Some 55 years later, the population of Zhang Wendi's territory officially surpassed that of the real world.

Decades of time have already made people accustomed to the heavenly life in Zhang Wendi Paradise, and they take it for granted.

Decades are enough to make many people in peaceful times forget the existence of war, enough to make many hungry people forget the existence of famine, and enough to make many modern people forget the cruelty of nature.

Although experts and professors remind of the hidden crisis every year, most people just laugh it off.

Zhang Wendi's paradise has already become a paradise that everyone yearns for in the real world, and he himself has not shown up for 20 years.

Everyone thought that the heavenly life in Paradise would be eternal.

Even if many countries legislate to prohibit abandoning the physical body to go to paradise, it still cannot stop the continuous decline of the real population.
