Bab 89: The Great Eras of the Earth
Virtual Universe, Killing Fields.
In a hall that felt as vast as a city, with a backdrop resembling a sea of blood, Wang Yi and three others sat around a table, drinking. The hall was sparsely populated, with only a few scattered people present.
"In the Killing Fields, the cost of living is incredibly high. For example, as an eighth-Planetary level warrior, if I choose to stay here, it costs me 500,000 Black Dragon Coins per day, or 350 Dry Witch Coins," Wang Yi explained to Luo Feng, who was new to the place. "If you're a spiritual master, the price is even steeper—1.25 million Black Dragon Coins a day."
The official exchange rate in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is 1 Dry Witch Coin to 1,000 Black Dragon Coins. However, once you exchange Dry Witch Coins for Black Dragon Coins, you can't exchange them back.
"The Killing Field is a special training ground for both martial artists and spiritual master, where you can face any opponent you desire," Hong chimed in, his eyes shining with excitement. Over time, his own strength had improved, and he'd even advanced to the second level of mastery, particularly in domain techniques.
Hong, Thor, and Wang Yi were no strangers to the Killing Fields and had frequently visited the Decisive Battle Space as well.
The Killing Space is a personalized training ground where opponents can be simulated. It's the best place for honing one's skills. The Decisive Battle Space, on the other hand, is where real warriors face each other in combat.
Interestingly, the costs in the Decisive Battle Space are only one-tenth of those in the Killing Space.
The Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is filled with countless powerful beings, and the number of planetary-level warriors is staggering. Fortunately, both Hong and Wang Yi had domains, and their battle records were almost flawless, with a win rate exceeding 99%. They had reached a nine-star rating—the highest in their rank, proving they were absolute masters at their level.
Thor, who didn't yet possess a domain, struggled more, with a win rate of only about 65%.
The universe is vast and endless. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire alone comprises over 8,000 galaxies, each with 100,000 life-sustaining planets. Amidst so many planetary warriors and ancient, powerful legacies, Thor's top-tier status on Earth was far less impressive here.
Yet, Thor remained determined, working hard on his own domain skills, showing signs of progress.
For Luo Feng, however, this reality was distant. He wasn't even a planetary level warrior yet. To enter the Decisive Battle Space, a minimum of planetary level status was required. Luo Feng had just recently become a high-ranking God of War, and it would take time to advance further.
Still, with the inheritance of the Yun Mo Planet Sect, his future progress would be remarkable, making it easy for him to catch up with Hong and Thor.
An elderly, green-skinned man with wrinkled features and a serene expression sat at a chair nearby. His appearance was somewhat unsettling to humans, yet he emanated a strange sense of calm. People passing through the hall were careful to avoid disturbing him.
This man was Man Luo, the head of the Killing Fields at the Heilongshan Island branch. Wang Yi vaguely remembered that he was rumored to be an immortal who had long been stationed there to scout new talent for the Virtual Universe Company.
However, Wang Yi had no intention of joining the Virtual Universe Company just yet. He didn't want the restrictions that came with it, especially as he had his own agenda, traveling across various places for special tasks. At this stage, the company offered him little in return.
Only once he reached the core levels of the company, with more freedom, authority, and access to higher-level resources, might he consider joining.
Suddenly, as Wang Yi was drinking with Thor and the others in the Killing Fields hall, his intelligent life assistant, Bermuda, alerted him.
"Master, there's a discovery in the Pacific Ocean in the real world!" Bermuda informed him.
"Huh?" Wang Yi was immediately alert.
"Did they find the egg of a giant star beast?" Wang Yi asked with some surprise.
As soon as he had returned to Earth, Wang Yi had deployed numerous miniature reconnaissance robots across the planet, with a particular focus on the Pacific Ocean. He had also ordered high-tech equipment to scan for rare metals and resources linked to ancient secrets.
Bermuda shook its round head, "No, master. It's not an egg—it's something else. You'll have to see it in person."
"What's going on, Wang Yi?" Hong and the others asked, noticing his sudden change in demeanor.
"It seems there's something happening in reality. I'll need to check it out," Wang Yi said with a smile, standing up.
Thor laughed, "Maybe your wife's giving birth! You better hurry."
Wang Yi smiled and brushed off the joke. "Not just yet." With that, he disconnected from the virtual universe and returned to reality.
In Yangzhou City, within his seven-story castle, Wang Yi turned to Bermuda.
"Bermuda, what's happening?"
"Our equipment has unearthed something unusual deep beneath the Pacific Ocean," Bermuda said, projecting an image.
The image displayed a black, human-shaped sculpture about a hundred meters tall. It resembled a human, with its face obscured, dressed in garments similar to ancient Chinese attire, and its hair neatly combed.
"What is this?" Wang Yi frowned. "Does something like this really exist on Earth?"
"Master, preliminary analysis suggests this sculpture is incredibly old, possibly predating the formation of Earth itself," Bermuda explained.
Wang Yi's mind raced as he suddenly recalled something. The Earth, according to certain theories, had been created by a powerful alien known as the 'Mountain Guest' to nurture a race with extraordinary mental and willpower talents.
Wang Yi shook his head, clearing his thoughts. "Let's go check it out. This sculpture may hold the key to some of Earth's deepest secrets."
