Ye Ling, upon discovering the nutrient pod of the Purple Luo Main God, covered it with his Mo Zhi Jian, attempting to track the Purple Luo Main God's whereabouts.
However, when Ye Ling covered the nutrient pod with Mo Zhi Jian, he found that the Purple Luo Main God's trace only existed within the nutrient pod. The Purple Luo Main God had not left the nutrient pod at all!
"Strange? Did the Purple Luo Main God disappear directly from the nutrient pod?"
Discovering that the Purple Luo Main God had vanished directly from the nutrient pod, Ye Ling frowned slightly. He pressed his hand against the shattered nutrient pod and used his power of creation to construct the Great Dao of Time within a small area, rewinding time within the nutrient pod.
The nutrient pod rewound at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the images within the nutrient pod appeared directly before Ye Ling.
In the rewound footage, the Purple Luo Main God, who had been peacefully resting in the nutrient pod, suddenly showed a pained expression. Veins bulged all over his body, and his entire being began to contort.
In the next moment, cracks began to appear on the surface of the Purple Luo Main God's body. His skin and muscle tissue rapidly became illusory, then transformed into a pile of data.
"This is..."
Ye Ling's eyes flickered as he saw the Purple Luo Main God's body suddenly turn into data.
The Purple Luo Main God's current transformation inexplicably reminded Ye Ling of the deceased Nine Pillars - Jiu Yuan.
At that time, when he used Mo Zhi Jian to modify Jiu Yuan's attributes, preparing to probe the secrets deep within Jiu Yuan's mind, Mo Zhi Jian and Jiu Yuan lost control simultaneously, ultimately causing Jiu Yuan to turn into a mess of garbled code, even alerting the higher echelons of the Overseers.
Although the Purple Luo Main God's current transformation was different from Jiu Yuan's situation at the time, it was still somewhat similar.
"Could it be... that turning into data is not exclusive to the Overseers? Can all beings in the Primal Chaos transform into data information? Is the Primal Chaos also virtual?"
Ye Ling realized that the virtual world created by the Primal Wisdom King might hide a great secret.
Ye Ling's thoughts raced, while the Purple Luo Main God's transformation within the nutrient pod continued.
After the Purple Luo Main God's entire body had turned into data, the powerful force emanating from him directly shattered the nutrient pod!
However, after shattering the nutrient pod, the Purple Luo Main God did not manage to escape. Instead, he was absorbed by some energy within the nutrient pod and vanished.
"Looking at this, the Purple Luo Main God's true form was directly absorbed into that virtual world, becoming part of that virtual world's data."
Ye Ling found the Purple Luo Main God's whereabouts and gained a deeper understanding of the virtual world created by the Primal Wisdom King.
However, his doubts grew even stronger.
"To uncover the secrets of that virtual world, I must return to that virtual world... I need to take this game seriously."
Ye Ling muttered to himself. This time, he did not use Mo Zhi Jian to modify his own attributes and invade the virtual world from an external host. Instead, he directly lay down in the Purple Luo Main God's nutrient pod, creating a new virtual character for himself through this nutrient pod and logging into the virtual world.
Virtual world, above the Royal City.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire saw Ye Ling return, its pupils contracting slightly, and exclaimed, "Kid, why do I feel like you're different?"
"I created a new character outside. My main body didn't come in."
Ye Ling briefly explained to the World-Ending Spirit Fire. He then scanned the vast Royal City and noticed that all the management robots had disappeared, prompting him to ask the World-Ending Spirit Fire, "Where did those robots go?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire did not dwell on this matter. "Shortly after you left, those robots seemed to have received more important tasks and directly abandoned this Royal City and left."
"Received more important tasks?"
"Mhm... the situation seemed very urgent. Look at the Royal Palace; half of the buildings are still data, and those robots just left them as they were."
Ye Ling looked in the direction of the Royal Palace and saw that only half of the entire Royal Palace had been repaired by the robots, with the other half still in a data state.
Outside the Royal Palace, a large number of people had gathered. They had lived in this virtual world since birth, and to them, everything here was real.
But now, half of the Royal Palace before their eyes had turned into data, and a deep sense of doubt appeared in everyone's eyes, causing them to question themselves.
Once the seed of doubt is planted in people's hearts, someone will eventually realize that the world they are in is virtual... and as long as they recognize the true reality, they might escape this virtual world.
This kind of event would undoubtedly be an extremely serious accident for the Primal Wisdom King, who constructed this virtual world.
Yet, the Primal Wisdom King was willing to withdraw all the robots, leaving the matters here unattended. This indicated that somewhere in this virtual world, something even more serious than the awakening of players was happening.
"It's likely that the Primal Wisdom King has clashed with that third party... Are they not planning to include me in the fun?" Ye Ling glanced at the shattered Royal Palace and instantly analyzed many things.
The clash between the Primal Wisdom King and the third party was in Ye Ling's interest. Once they determined a victor, Ye Ling could reap the benefits.
"Fine, you all fight first. I'll proceed steadily, and the ultimate winner will only be me."
The clash between the Primal Wisdom King and the third party was in Ye Ling's interest. Once they determined a victor, Ye Ling could reap the benefits.
Ye Ling formed a preliminary plan and no longer paid attention to the shattered Royal Palace. He led the World-Ending Spirit Fire out of the Royal City and found Barton, who was hiding outside the city.
"G-Great Lord, are you alright!"
Barton, seeing Ye Ling fly out of the Royal City, quickly asked with concern.
What had happened in the Royal Palace earlier had completely exceeded its imagination.
Those robots in the Royal Palace were definitely not beings of this world!
At this moment, Barton was certain that Ye Ling was definitely an existence of a higher rank than the Purple Luo Main God. He also realized that as long as he clung to Ye Ling's coattails, his future would be exceptionally bright!
Unbeknownst to him, Barton's attitude towards Ye Ling had changed.
"I'm fine, but I need you to help me with something." Ye Ling landed in front of Barton and said quickly.
"What does Great Lord need me to help with? I will spare no effort!" Barton replied swiftly, completely changing his previous passive attitude.
Ye Ling did not care about Barton's change in attitude. He rolled up his sleeves and extended his arm to Barton: "Bite me and inject your venom into my body."
"Ah?" Barton looked at Ye Ling in astonishment, thinking he had misheard.
"Great Lord? Are you sure? My venom ignores level gaps..."
"Stop the nonsense and bite me when I tell you to."
"Al-Alright..." Da Feng Novel Network
Barton dared not disobey Ye Ling. He shrank his body, climbed onto Ye Ling's wrist, and with his last remaining venomous fang, tremblingly bit Ye Ling, injecting all his venom into Ye Ling's body.
The moment Barton's venom entered Ye Ling's body, Ye Ling found his virtual body beginning to materialize. His main body, lying in the nutrient pod, and the virtual character in this virtual world established a special connection.
Barton's venom also appeared in Ye Ling's main body!
