Fuxi's Ambition! Building the Reincarnation Metaverse!
The construction of the underworld can no longer be described as "in full swing".
This is clearly a frenzied competition filled with "pleasing" and "keeping up with the Joneses".
Every Primordial World being involved in this project applied their own Dao to unimaginable levels, all in an effort to achieve the most stunning results and earn a compliment from the "chief architect."
Ancestral Dragon has completely let himself go.
He felt that the simple act of "Rapids Ride" was an insult to the aesthetics of the Dragon Clan, so he went so far as to cover the River of Forgetfulness with a layer of "East Sea Illusory Light Divine Water".
This layer of divine water formed a boundless projection array.
The departed souls travel downstream by boat, not only able to review their lives but also experience Immersive 4D effects!
The scene shifts to the moment before he was struck dead by lightning. A streak of azure lightning, formed from condensed water, strikes down from the sky with a "crack," giving his soul a shiver, but leaving him feeling refreshed.
The scene shifts to the wedding night, and the surrounding River of Forgetfulness immediately turns an ambiguous pink, with countless tiny koi fish, transformed from the flowing water, blowing heart-shaped bubbles beside the boat.
This extreme experience left the first batch of players screaming and crying, feeling like they were dying and coming back to life. Yet, when it ended, they were still not satisfied, grabbing the edge of the boat and shouting, "One more time! I want to die again!"
Yuanfeng's "Bridge of Helplessness" has also reached a new level.
Using the Southern Bright Leaving Fire, she conjured rows of magnificent flaming phoenixes on both sides of the bridge, which would automatically dance an elegant "Peacock Spreading Dance" in time with the chimes of the bells.
While the souls of the dead cross the bridge, cleansing their karma, they can also enjoy a never-ending fire dance show, a true audio-visual spa for the soul.
The "Three-Life Stone," which was under the jurisdiction of the Primordial Kirin, was transformed from a single stone into an incredibly huge "Auspicious Wish Pool."
The departed souls used their divine sense to draw the image they wished to become in the next life by the pond, and then threw it into the pond.
The pool water will generate a "Rebirth Simulation Animation" based on the merits accumulated.
Some of those with profound merit painted a white tiger.
The animation tells the magnificent epic story of a little white tiger roaring proudly in the mountains and forests, eventually becoming a Demon King.
Those burdened by karmic debts also drew a white tiger.
In the animation, a newborn white tiger cub is captured by a passing cultivator, who skins it and makes it into a tiger-skin vest...
The cruel yet realistic "future prediction" caused countless souls to weep and repent by the pool.
The construction of the entire underworld is racing in a direction that is becoming increasingly fun and outrageous.
However, in this bustling construction site, there was one figure that seemed out of place.
Fuxi.
Following Lin Shen's instructions, he used the River Diagram and Luo Script to plan the entire "transportation network" of the underworld, ensuring that every soul could accurately navigate to the "scenic spots" they wanted to visit.
But he always felt that his contributions were too mediocre.
Map? Navigation?
This kind of thing is too low-tech!
This is an utter insult to his status as a "Painting Sage" and the ancestor of "divination of heavenly secrets"!
No!
He must leave a truly unique and irreplaceable mark on Fuxi amidst this construction frenzy!
Fuxi's gaze slowly swept over the bustling underworld.
The gleaming gold of the "Duobao Recycling Center".
The steaming hot "Qiankun Grand Canteen"
There was even a group of Ancestral Witch frantically shaking their heads in the evil aura of their "rest room".
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
He discovered a problem.
A structural problem that has been overlooked by everyone.
These facilities are certainly novel and interesting.
But they are all "single-threaded"!
The souls could only follow the route he had planned, experiencing one attraction after another.
The process of settling merits, reflecting on one's life, and making wishes for the next life is fixed and linear.
This is not freedom!
This does not conform to the profound truth that "the Great Way is fifty, Heaven evolves into forty-nine, and man escapes to one"!
True reincarnation should grant every soul the greatest possible "right to choose"!
A single thought, like a thunderbolt World Creation, forcefully cleaved open Fuxi's sea of consciousness!
He understood!
He knew what he had to do!
What he wanted to do was not to add a few strokes of color to the painting.
What he wants to do is... create a completely new "Painting Realm"!
A virtual world, yet incredibly real, existing independently of the Underworld's current facilities, yet sharing data with them... The Second World!
A system that allows all departed souls, during their long wait for reincarnation, to possess entirely new "identities," enabling them to freely explore, communicate, learn, and even... create...
"Metaverse"!
This word, which had never appeared in the Primordial World before, exploded in the Sage's Heart of Fuxi!
His eyes blazed with a dazzling light, a light brimming with the confidence and fervor of a creator!
Without further hesitation, he took a step forward and instantly appeared on the vast, undeveloped open space in the center of the underworld.
He spoke loudly to Lin Shen, who was having a great time riding a water dragon transformed from an avatar of the Ancestral Dragon at the "River of Forgetfulness Water Park":
"Young friend!"
"Uncle Fuxi, there's an even more fun toy here. Would you like to see it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shen poked his wet little head out from behind the water dragon's horns, his big eyes full of curiosity.
"More fun toys?"
Fuxi smiled mysteriously, sat down cross-legged, and solemnly placed the River Diagram and Luo Shu in front of him.
"Through my art of painting, I will depict the myriad worlds of existence!"
"By my destiny, I link billions of true spirits!"
He formed hand seals and poured all his understanding of "painting" and "destiny" into the two treasures!
Buzz--!
The River Diagram and Luo Script shone brightly, no longer just flat star trails and lines, but beginning the true... creation!
On the screen of light, one after another, virtual cities full of fantasy elements rose from the ground!
There is a sky city suspended above Sea of Clouds, inhabited by winged people who ride the storms.
There is a steel city buried deep in the earth's lava, inhabited by dwarves skilled in forging.
There is a forest kingdom growing among the branches of the world's giant trees, inhabited entirely by wood spirits that revere nature.
Every city and every ethnic group has a distinct culture, professions, and skills!
"This world is called the 'Reincarnation Metaverse'!"
Fuxi's voice became vast and majestic, carrying the divinity of a creator.
"All souls that enter the underworld can obtain a 'Virtual Dao Body' in this realm!"
"You can forget your past lives and choose to become a warrior, a mage, or a craftsman!"
"You can make friends, form Dao Alliance, and challenge the 'Inner Demon Dungeon' formed from the Ancestral Witch's evil energy!"
"You can learn alchemy, talisman making, forging... and the results can be exchanged for real Merit Star through the 'Merit Center' Trading System!"
"Even!" Fuxi's eyes flashed with an almost insane light.
"In this world, through your own efforts, you can 'draw' your own unique little world!"
"Here, your imagination is the only limit!"
These words are not a storm.
Instead, it was a Black Hole that instantly swallowed all the sounds on the construction site of the underworld!
All the bigwigs who were buried in their work were frozen in place.
They slowly turned their heads, staring intently at Fuxi and the bizarre "virtual world" in front of him with eyes that looked at a madman, a devil, or a traitor.
Everyone was so shocked that their Dao Heart went numb.
They were still on the first floor, figuring out how to make their "scenic spot" even more beautiful.
Fuxi, that old silver coin... he... he completely undermined the system, starting from scratch and creating an all-encompassing... Online Game platform?!
How can we even compare?
What's the point of even comparing this?!
As Lin Shen gazed at the "Metaverse" where he could freely adventure and create his own world, the little stars in his eyes had coalesced into two dazzling Milky Way.
With a "plop," he jumped off the water dragon. Before he could even dry himself off, he took off running with all his might towards Fuxi!
"Uncle Fuxi! Uncle Fuxi!"
"This one! This is the most fun! I want to play this one!"
