Noland, Hearthstone Tavern.
"It feels like you're a father waiting for his child to be born." Hiri sat outside the Soundless Hall and stared at Josiah.
"Or rather, a programmer who's done programming and waiting for testing."
Josiah tapped his fingers impatiently.
Today was a big day. It was the day that the 'server' would be upgraded.
Yesterday, Taylin came to Josiah with a serious expression and said that she felt that the Holy Tree was about to undergo its first metamorphosis.
Josiah wasn't sure what the first metamorphosis was. Even when he asked Elder Saiphane of the Blackwood Elves, Elder Saiphane only gave him a 'legendary stage that every Holy Tree would go through'.
It was a very vague answer.
Fortunately, this' metamorphosis' didn't require Josiah to shut down the Mana Net. Otherwise, there would be countless spellcasters in Noland shouting things like 'I'm going to die without the Mana Net'.
Josiah and Hiri waited outside the Soundless Hall for almost three hours.
Even though the Hall of Soundless had been engraved with the inscription "Conceal", Josh could still feel a surge of vigorous life force as he stood outside the Hall of Soundless.
This powerful life force instantly dispelled Josiah's fatigue from staying up all night.
"Is the metamorphosis complete?" Josiah looked at the window of the Soundless Hall. The vines had already covered the window completely, and he couldn't see what was happening inside.
As the light from the vines slowly dissipated, the vines slowly retracted from the window, and Josiah could finally see what was happening inside the Soundless Hall.
Hiri glanced at the Soundless Hall and found Taylin sitting on the ground hugging something, "Do you need me to cover your eyes?"
The Frost Elf was completely naked, and her skin was so flawless that it had a sheen to it.
"No need, I've covered them." Josiah turned his head away from the Frost Elf and knocked on the glass window of the Hall of Silence.
Taylin seemed to be awakened by the sound. She immediately ran to a corner of the Hall of Silence and put on all the clothes she had taken off.
'May we come in? '
Josiah sent a message to Taylin.
"Sure …"
After receiving Taylin's message, Josiah pushed the door open and entered the Hall of Silence.
The entire Soundless Hall had been transformed into a 'forest'. The original wooden floor had long since been covered with fresh flowers, and the walls were also covered with vines and leaves.
"How do you feel now?"
Josiah looked at the Frost Elf in front of him. Taylin's temperament was completely different from the first time Josiah saw her.
To be more specific, Taylin's body now had some 'divinity'. If any other Frost Elf stood in front of Taylin, they would definitely kneel.
"The Holy Tree has grown up."
Taylin showed the white cat in her arms to Josiah. The white cat was still the size of a kitten, but its white fur looked much more real.
"Hmm … Let's test it out first."
Josiah opened his Mana Net terminal and selected a video sent by the Dark Elves to send to Hiri.
This time, it was based on the premise that Josiah did not hold onto the World Tree's leaf.
The video's progress bar slowly loaded. Josiah roughly estimated that this three-minute video would take half an hour to upload.
"So slow." Hiri had already gotten used to the transfer speed when she had the World Tree's leaf. Now, she looked at the progress bar that was like a snail and sighed.
"It's much better than before when it took an entire day."
Josiah stretched out his hand to rub the white cat's forehead, but it nimbly jumped from Taylin's hand onto Taylin's shoulder.
"If the World Tree continues to grow, we can consider making a video website," Josiah said.
"Video website?" This was the first time Taylin heard Josiah mention the concept of a website.
"The Spellcaster Forum is a website that I write. Taylin, you don't think that everything in the Mana Net should be written by me, do you?" Josiah explained.
"Isn't that … the case?" Taylin tilted her head in confusion, "Mister Josiah, you created this great … virtual world. Be it the Spellcaster Forum or Noland's Voice, they were all created by you, Mister Josiah."
Most users of the Mana Net were in awe of its creator when they first came into contact with the Mana Net.
The feat of connecting everyone in the world through words and creating a virtual world was no different from a god to an outsider.
Taylin was the most moved. She had seen the Mana Net change from an interface with nothing to a virtual world with hundreds of thousands of people conversing on it every day. As the creator, Josiah was no different from the creator.
"Taylin, actually writing a website isn't difficult. Take the Gray Robe for example. He has already started writing his own website. The interesting thing about the Mana Net is that everyone can participate in its creation. It's like an untouched library, anyone can add a 'brick' to it." Josiah began to guide the Frost Elf out of her rigid thinking.
"I'm just a guide, opening the door to the Mana Net for Noland or the entire world. If I want the Mana Net to become truly interesting, I alone won't be enough." Josiah said.
"So you're saying that people can make their own 'movies' and upload them to the Mana Net for others to watch?" Hiri quickly understood what Josiah meant.
"That's about it, but it'll take some time."
Josh turned to look at the white cat on Taylin's shoulder. The white cat let out a gurgling sound, and spat out a green seed as if it was spitting out a feather.
"Ugh … Although I still don't understand Mister Josiah's words, the Holy Tree said that this is a thank you gift to you, Mister Josiah." Taylin handed the seed to Josiah.
A furball that she spat out as a gift? Are all the gifts cats give so strange?
"This is … the seed of the World Tree?" Josiah asked expectantly.
If his white cat could really reproduce, Josiah felt that spreading the Mana Net across the entire world wouldn't be a problem.
"This is the crystal of the Holy Tree, a seed that can't germinate." Taylin explained.
"Crystal?" Josiah held the green crystal that was only the size of a thumb. He could see many mysterious inscriptions carved on its surface.
Before Josiah could ask Taylin what this crystal was for, Hiri's voice interrupted Josiah's thoughts.
"I've received the 'movie' you gave me." Hiri said.
