Guni

The center of the megacity.

Several dazzling light gates stood tall in the spacious square.

Every now and then, figures would appear from among them, most of them looking furious.

"As expected, it's probably not a teleportation point, but a respawn point. The people teleporting here won't all have that defeated, dog-like expression from just getting slashed..."

Sulu nodded and went to the Resurrection Plaza.

Here, the atmosphere of various Mind Secret Realm is even more intense.

"Using numerous Mind Secret Realm as foundation stones to build the main city? What a brilliant idea..."

An ordinary person's mental defenses are weak, but what if they come together? What if there are tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people?

Not to mention, a large number of them are professionals.

This degree of overlap means that even if Sulu himself came, he might not be able to destroy this main city.

"Furthermore... I seem to have figured out the pattern of resurrection. These Player aren't spirits or their original selves at all; they're just 'virtual projections'..."

The Player ' bodies reside in the Material World, while their Mind Secret Realm are in the main city. The Player that Sulu sees in the plaza are merely 'game characters' manipulated by their consciousness!

"Since it's a game character, it obviously won't have Mind Secret Realm, which is why my spell failed before..."

"What a brilliant idea! Using the Mind Secret Realm as the login device, everyone has a unique 'account,' and the part of the mind that controls the game is taken over by the Mind Secret Realm... At most, a person will be weakened for a few days after death... After death, that part of the mental energy dissipates, and the Mind Secret Realm generates new mental energy. This is the principle of 'resurrection.'"

Sulu's eyes gleamed. "It's almost a perfect 'resurrection mechanism,' but Player can still die... If the number of deaths is too high and too frequent..."

He felt that his previous battle might have created quite a few people in a vegetative state in the Material World.

This is a secret that even the Player themselves might not know!

"Besides that, the main city has been breached! That's the most terrible disaster!"

The main city contains many Mind Secret Realm, serving not only as Player ' private resurrection pools and login devices, but also as their very lifeline!

Once the main city falls, millions of the Mind Secret Realm will collapse instantly, and all Player will die in an instant, or their Material World bodies will mutate into monsters!

"But there's no other way; everything carries risks... The main city's defenses are barely adequate, and there are still so many 'undying' Player working as laborers... Heh..."

Sulu sneered, half-squatting down, his right hand touching a brick. "Psychic Thaumaturgy!"

The defenses of a city are certainly formidable, but he only needs to pry open one brick.

There's not even a need to destroy this Mind Secret Realm.

Soon, after breaking through the defenses, the memories of a person named ' Mo Mo ' appeared before his eyes.

[Ding! You have learned Guni Language, current level 1!]

Ignoring everything else, Sulu first learned the common language and script of this world.

Immediately following this was a wealth of geographical knowledge and easy-to-understand memorization techniques.

Guni Planet!

This is the only known planet in the exploration of star systems confirmed to harbor life.

It has existed for tens of millions of years, going through multiple eras and wars, and finally completely eliminated prejudices based on nationality and race, achieving global integration.

Currently, the world of Guni is divided into 52 districts, operates on an electoral system, and its civilization has advanced to the point where it can use spacecraft to explore nearby planets.

In the field of civilian technology, transportation tools similar to trains and airplanes were invented long ago. In particular, in communication and entertainment, there are not only virtual networks that connect the world, but also various virtual reality games.

But!

This virtual technology is still very immature, and its simulation of realism reaches at most 50%.

Until a game came along!

It seemed like a greeting from the gods to the Guni Planet, or perhaps an alien joke, that with incredible technology, it enveloped the entire world!

Today, more and more people prefer to call it -- the Main God Game!

This game—let's just call it a game for now—doesn't require vehicles or signals. Player can log in simply by having a thought while asleep. The simulation is 100% realistic, exciting and thrilling scientists across all regions.

Its theme is very simple: fighting against Warcraft!

In this vast world, there are a few hundred scattered human capital cities, but the number of monsters is even greater!

They have lost their minds, become incredibly frenzied, and harbor considerable hostility towards Player.

Moreover, every so often, powerful magical beasts, as vast as the ocean, would appear without reproducing, forming a ' Beast Tide ' that would assault various human capital cities.

Fortunately, thanks to the city walls' defenses and the Player ' immortality, no main city has been breached so far. They can even continue to venture into the surrounding dark regions to hunt powerful wild bosses.

In reality, constant fighting and killing provides a terrible experience and is not appealing to some Player.

Strangely, as more and more Player entered the game, very few chose to quit.

Even selling materials can generate a decent income in the Material World, and each region seems to be subtly encouraging Player to play the game.

Furthermore, there are some strange rumors circulating.

For example... this is a real world, and the extraordinary power gained in the ' Inner World ' may be brought into the ' Surface World '.

The young girl, Mo Mo, didn't quite believe it.

But Sulu fell into deep thought.

He exited the girl's Mind Secret Realm, examined the surrounding area, and came to a similar conclusion. "Is the Spirit Tide reviving?"

The Dawn of Gods in this world is strange.

It was divided into two worlds: the ' Surface World ' of the Material World and the ' Inner World ' composed of three layers of the Spirit World.

The Surface World is a technologically advanced, purely physical world.

The Inner World, on the other hand, is dominated by mysterious forces and seems to be in a state of constant Spirit Tide revival!

"Interesting! Interesting, a world with two sides to everything, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

Sulu strolled around the giant city with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, various sounds kept entering his ears:

"Beast Cores! Eight Tier 1 Beast Cores for Sale! Real Currency Only!"

"Alchemist Pablo's Factory accepts all kinds of orders!"

Of course, the most discussed topic is still the ' Dragon of Destruction ' incident from some time ago.

"I'm telling you... that's definitely the final boss!"

A slightly chubby young man was chatting animatedly with a group of people. "You know what? I was the first one to find it! And I even got killed by its breath."

"I've never seen a boss with that kind of Wisdom before, even after killing so many monsters. It's definitely the final boss."

Sulu stepped forward with a bewildered expression. "Excuse me... what does 'final boss' mean?"

"Bro? You're a newbie, right?"

The young man glanced at Sulu: "My name is Hayato, from District 33."

"Sulu, District 34"

"Sulu, don't you want to know why this game exists?" Hayato said with a compassionate expression, "I think... this is a world that is constantly falling into depravity, so gods, or rather aliens, came to our world and pulled us Player here as heroes to save the world! As long as we defeat the final boss, we can complete the objective!"
