Previously, Gao Gong had come up with many theories about the players' origins.
For example, the players might have come from the real world, while the "Cyber World" was fake—a man-made game world.
Or perhaps the players all came from the same planet, such as the blue planet in his old homeland, and had all been selected and brought in by the system.
