Chapter 348 Constructing the Origin of the Virtual Universe
The virtual universe secret techniques at the peak level of true gods are basically equivalent to the secret techniques created by the primordial ancestor before he was suppressed by the original will, that is, the initial version of the virtual universe.
"As expected of the Primordial Ancestor, even a secret technique at the True God level can cover the entire Primordial Universe."
After receiving the contents of the Virtual Universe Secret Technique, Chen Yuan couldn't help but have this thought.
Undoubtedly, this secret technique is extremely powerful.
Moreover, after comparing it with the original text in his mind, Chen Yuan discovered that the characteristics of this virtual universe at the True God level, which was optimized by the system, were completely consistent with those of the Void True God level.
"According to the secret method, the virtual universe has three characteristics: the condensation of the virtual universe's origin, the conservation of energy, and the ability to evolve autonomously."
Chen Yuan blinked slightly. "That's strange. The effects of the two secret techniques are exactly the same. So, where does the Void Realm level surpass the True God level?"
"The optimization I set should only have increased growth potential and stealth."
I don't understand.
However, it is foreseeable that when he perfects the optimized virtual universe technique, the effect of his virtual universe will be no different from that of the original ancestor's technique.
As for the effects of the Void-level secret technique, we can only find out after he breaks through his life level and optimizes the subsequent parts of the technique. "Never mind, I'll start cultivating first."
Chen Yuan shook his head, deciding to put these issues aside for the time being and focus his attention on the optimized secret technique itself.
"The original ancestor once said that the secrets of the virtual universe are extremely difficult to learn because it requires the condensation of the origin of the virtual universe as an existence corresponding to the origin of the original universe."
"In this way, the virtual universe will possess the same characteristics as the original universe, such as—the conservation of energy!"
This point is mentioned both in the original work and when the original creator introduced it: no matter how many people log into the virtual universe and use its power to cultivate, it will not consume any energy of the virtual universe!
The reason for this is the law of conservation of energy. No matter how the power in the virtual universe is transformed, its total amount remains fixed, and naturally there will be no consumption.
The most crucial aspect lies in the origin of the virtual universe.
Using this power, the virtual universe can simulate anything that existed in the original universe.
Since the real universe also evolved from the origin of the universe, the virtual universe can easily simulate any secret techniques, laws, or treasures that have appeared in reality, without any cost.
"Of course, there are exceptions. I know of at least two."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "The first is willpower! No matter how miraculous the power of origin is, it cannot simulate willpower. At most, it can simulate this power through data."
He had discovered this long ago: the virtual universe can only simulate the will test at the level of a cosmic venerable, and the higher the level of will, the more severe the information distortion.
For example, Virtual Universe Company's "Illusory Sea" uses this technology, but the Illusory Sea only has 21 layers, corresponding to the will of a Primary Universe Venerable.
It's not that the company doesn't want to build a higher level of illusionary sea, but the current data cannot simulate the illusionary effects of the 22nd or 23rd level.
Because the existence of the Illusionary Sea has little to do with the origin of the virtual universe, it is mainly simulated by the host of the virtual universe, that is, the mechanical slave of the original universe master, so its ability is naturally limited.
To simulate a higher level of test of will, either the master of the secret method needs to have an unparalleled understanding of the attribute of will and apply it to the virtual universe.
Alternatively, the virtual processing core needs to be powerful enough to simulate higher-level scenarios.
While the progenitor was powerful enough, his understanding of will was not deep enough, which is why the virtual universe today lacks content related to will.
This is normal. After all, even on the Origin Continent, without the guidance of inheritance, even the Eternal True God is not qualified to study it. Only after becoming the Chaos Ruler can one gradually master the method of using will.
"But it's different for me, since using my willpower is my strength."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "If it were a virtual universe that I created, I would definitely add the method of using will to make the secret technique even more perfect."
Possessing two secret techniques related to willpower—the Mind Cultivation Method and the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent—Chen Yuan dares to say that in the entire primordial universe, no one understands the application of willpower better than him.
In other words, Chen Yuan didn't see the first drawback of the virtual universe as a problem; it was easy to solve.
Only the second shortcoming can be considered a real problem for him.
"That is because the virtual universe cannot simulate the power related to the 'Great Dao'!"
Just like how the original ancestor was initially attracted by the fact that the "soul binding" function could not be replicated in the virtual universe, and thus listed Chen Yuan as a key target of attention.
The reason for this is that the virtual universe is at a very low level; after all, it is only a secret technique at the level of a Void True God.
The simulated virtual origin, compared to the true origin of the universe, is like the difference between a fine product and the real thing—it is ultimately lacking.
Chen Yuan was certain that the origin of the primordial universe must contain the power of the Great Dao, but the origin of the virtual universe could not simulate this power.
To comprehend the Great Dao, one must at least become an eternal true god to be qualified.
The prerequisite for breaking through to the eternal true god is to comprehend a source of the Great Dao, such as the source of water and fire, the source of time and space, the source of life, etc.
However, this profound mystery can only be considered the beginning of the path of the Great Dao. The subsequent Chaos Ruler, as well as the first, second, and third levels of the God King realm, all represent a deep understanding of the Great Dao.
The primordial universe, in its origin, possesses at least one complete Great Dao, along with other fragmented Great Dao powers, which are not present in the origin of the virtual universe.
At least, virtual universes at the tenth or eleventh level certainly cannot simulate this power.
Only when the secret technique reaches the twelfth level, that is, the level of the Eternal True God, can one perhaps possess the ability to simulate the original Great Dao.
Of course, such a high-level ability as simulating the Great Dao is not very meaningful to Chen Yuan for the time being, since his true realm is only Immortal, and he has not even perfected the laws.
Chen Yuan closed his eyes tightly. In his mental space, a wisp of his primordial spirit, dressed in a white robe, separated and descended once again to the familiar origin of the universe, following the path in the dark.
On the boundless, colorful ocean of laws, Chen Yuan carefully navigated through it.
"This place can only be considered a superficial realm of laws; it cannot yet meet the requirements for constructing the origin of a virtual universe."
Chen Yuan looked around curiously. This was his first time stepping onto the surface of the Ocean of Laws. In the past, he had directly integrated his consciousness into it to comprehend it, so he was quite unfamiliar with this area.
"The Five Elements, Wind, Thunder, Light, Spacetime —"
"strangeness."
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped. "I've already searched through all the oceans of laws, but I still haven't found the origin of the universe."
Upon closer inspection, he realized he had been wandering around here for ten years without gaining anything.
"Could it be that the true origin of the universe is not at the center of the ocean of laws, but rather in—"
Chen Yuan lowered his head. "Below the Sea of Laws?"
"Should we go down and give it a try?" He hesitated, mainly because he didn't know if such an action would attract the attention of the primordial will.
Although he can integrate his will into the sea of laws, based on past experience, he can only integrate the most superficial laws and knows nothing about the deeper fundamental Dao.
Chen Yuan was unsure whether the first level of the "Sitting in Oblivion" mental state could deceive the deeper, primordial will.
"Never mind, fortune favors the bold."
"If the original will really discovers it, I can simply abandon this wisp of consciousness rather than let them seize my footing."
After making the decision, Chen Yuan no longer hesitated and decisively plunged into the ocean of laws, diving deeper and deeper.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the ocean of laws was not composed of dense law power as he had imagined, but rather floated like clouds. The deeper he went, the less resistance he encountered, and the more empty the surrounding environment became.
"Is this truly the deep origin of the universe?"
Chen Yuan felt as if he were walking in an endless void, with nothing around him. A thought suddenly occurred to him, "It seems that I have already left the ocean of laws."
Fortunately, perseverance pays off. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan suddenly sensed a colorful light appearing ahead.
"Found it! The origin of the universe!"
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. He could clearly sense that the aura emanating from the light ahead was exactly the same as the law fluctuations he had seen around the Primordial Ancestor statue.
So he quickly flew towards that colorful area, but when he got close enough, he suddenly stopped. "No, I can't go any further."
Chen Yuan suddenly turned pale. Just now, he suddenly felt a will watching him, like an ordinary person being stared at by a wild beast, which made him shudder.
He had a premonition that if he took another step forward, he would definitely be exposed to the other party's sight.
Chen Yuan's consciousness stood still, neither moving forward nor backward, focusing all his efforts on controlling his mind and preventing his thoughts from escaping.
He could sense that the will hadn't left, because his actions had clearly alerted the other party.
But as Chen Yuan focused his mind and remained motionless, this will became somewhat puzzled, as it seemed to sense someone spying on it, but upon closer inspection, it found nothing.
Is it just my imagination?
This will did not seem to possess high intelligence. After scanning around and finding nothing, it confidently withdrew its gaze and stopped paying attention to the area.
Chen Yuan felt like an insect facing a frog, only by remaining completely still could he evade the frog's detection.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the gaze disappear, and then retreated without hesitation.
He knew that the owner of the "vision" just now must be the original cosmic will. According to his understanding, the other party did not possess intelligence and acted almost entirely on instinct.
Therefore, when the other party withdraws their probing gaze, it is definitely because they have withdrawn it, and it is not because they deliberately reveal a flaw to lure him into a trap.
After retreating hundreds of millions of kilometers, Chen Yuan finally felt relieved: "At such a distance, it should be safe enough."
"I must have been close to the seven-colored region by about 100 million kilometers before I attracted the attention of the primordial cosmic will."
He shook his head slightly. "It seems that the mental power of the Selfless Realm is not enough for me to get close to that area."
Chen Yuan is now certain that the colorful area is the origin of the primordial universe, which is the reference point for his construction of the virtual universe.
"Well, I originally wanted to go deep into the source land, but it seems that it's not going to work out now."
"In that case, let's construct the virtual origin here. Anyway, the observation here is clear enough."
In order not to disturb the original will, Chen Yuan did not choose to continue to approach.
He is currently about 500 million kilometers away from that area of seven-colored origin, roughly the distance from Mars to Jupiter.
Under the observation of the Primordial Eye, this distance is almost indistinguishable from face-to-face observation. Even if he gets close to a hundred million kilometers away, he won't be able to see much more detail.
With Chen Yuan deliberately using his mental power to shield the fluctuations of the fundamental laws, the construction of the entire virtual universe's origin proceeded very smoothly.
"It's a success."
Looking at the colorful primordial power before him, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Not bad efficiency. It was completed in just thirty years. That's much faster than the original ancestor."
He learned from the records in the secret manual that the original ancestor had spent hundreds of thousands of epochs to finally succeed in constructing the origin of the virtual universe.
However, Chen Yuan also understood that the two were completely incomparable, since the Primordial Ancestor did not have the ability to infiltrate the vicinity of the Origin Land.
In the beginning, in order to build his origin, the primordial ancestor deliberately provoked the will of origin on several occasions, and secretly learned various details of the origin of the universe during the short moments of each confrontation with the will of origin.
However, this method of selection cannot be used frequently. The Primordial Ancestor was worried that if he angered the other party, it would implicate the entire human race. Therefore, he always explored the bottom line of the Primordial Will in a low-frequency manner.
That is why the progenitor spent so much time constructing the origin of the virtual universe.
In contrast, Chen Yuan had a thorough understanding of the primordial will, and with the concealment of his mental power and the ability of the Primordial Eye, he was able to complete this crucial step in just thirty years.
In fact, the original will did not remain completely unaware during these thirty years.
Because Chen Yuan's actions were tantamount to stealing the authority of the original will, it sensed something in the darkness.
The primordial will has also patrolled the area around the seven-colored region several times, hoping to find the cause of the anomaly.
However, because Chen Yuan was far enough away, almost at the edge of sensing the primordial will, his mental shield prevented the other party from succeeding each time.
However, this behavior was tantamount to dancing on swords, and he was always carrying huge risks. Fortunately, Chen Yuan finally succeeded and successfully stole the information of the origin of the universe.
"It's time to go."
Chen Yuan put away the seven-colored light ball in front of him and glanced at the true origin of the universe.
"I will definitely come back."
The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan's consciousness vanished instantly, returning to his physical body.
