When Shifeng asked his question, the room fell strangely silent. Both Solitary Nine and Lifeless Thorn turned to look at Yu Luo.
Ever since they had arrived in this world, there had been too many unknowns and surprises.
However, after considering the various possibilities, the only thing they could do was remain silent and observe the situation, including the so-called NPCs and players.
In their opinion, whether it was NPCs, monsters, or players, they were all alien existences. This was especially true for players. Although they were supposed to be players, the feeling they gave off was completely different.
These players didn't feel like players at all. Instead, they felt more like residents of this world. They had already accepted this virtual world.
No!
To be precise, these players already treated this world as the real world. Moreover, they had lived in this world for a very long time, so long that they couldn't even imagine it. Otherwise, the strange feeling they felt wouldn't be so obvious.
Shifeng, in particular, was very familiar with this strange feeling. He felt as if he were looking at Feng Qianyu. Only, Feng Qianyu was much more powerful than these people. He felt like a player, but at the same time, he wasn't a player. In short, the feeling he gave off was very strange. However, he couldn't put his finger on it.
At this moment, the players in this room gave him a similar feeling. Back then, he had been far more shocked than Lifeless Thorn and the others.
Only, he couldn't say it out loud. After all, Feng Qianyu's side had too many implications. Moreover, while they had sensed the strangeness of these players, these players had sensed the strangeness of them as well. It was obvious that these players were unfamiliar with other players.
Including their previous conversations and understanding, Shifeng couldn't help but feel as if they lived in an entirely different world.
The old man in the cave had already said that this world was the ancient God's Domain. Logically, players shouldn't exist in this world. Moreover, there were quite a lot of players in this world.
Based on Shi Feng's initial estimates, Meteorite City's player population had already exceeded five million. This number was no less than that of a kingdom's capital city. Moreover, according to Cooling Cloud, there were a lot of human Main Cities like Meteorite City.
A simple calculation put the player population at more than 2.5 billion.
Despite having such a large population, the various major powers in the real world had practically never heard of such a large population. Hence, it was simply inconceivable that anyone knew about the ancient God's Domain.
"That's right. Everything is as you guessed." When Yu Luo noticed everyone's gazes on her, the relaxed expression on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. "Whether it's God's Domain or the players here, neither of them belong to the same world as us!"
"Not the same world?" Solitary Nine's breathing grew heavy. "How is that possible?!"
Although he already had some guesses in his heart, he still found it inconceivable after receiving Yu Luo's confirmation. The more they understood God's Domain, the more problems it faced, as well as the involvement of the various international corporations in the game.
But to say that they were not from the same world was simply too unbelievable.
"No! You can't say that it's not the same world. " Yu Luo shook her head and said with a smile, "It's just that these people don't live in the same world as us."
"What do you mean?" Shifeng asked curiously.
"You should all know about the immigration plan from a hundred years ago, right?" Yu Luo couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. Back then, due to Earth's lack of various resources, the environmental pollution on Earth had also worsened. The planet was gradually becoming unsuitable for human life. Hence, the immigration plan was initiated. I heard that many people were dispatched to explore the universe for habitable planets." Solitary Nine nodded. Somewhat incredulous, he asked, "Could it be … You're saying that these people are the people that were dispatched?"
"That's right. They are the descendants of those explorers," Yu Luo said. Yu Luo slowly said, "Back then, Earth had already discovered several planets that were suitable for living. However, they were too far away, and the time needed to travel there was too long. Therefore, they gathered the strength of the entire world and built several hundred interstellar spaceships. These spaceships carried all kinds of resources and top technicians, as well as living environments that could be recycled, and hundreds of millions of outstanding people at that time to these planets that were suitable for living.
"Meanwhile, during the past hundred years, these people have been living on these Interstellar Spaceships. However, during the journey, the time they experienced was much longer than the time we experienced on Earth. I heard that they have already lived in the universe for over 600 years. Some Interstellar Spaceships have even lived for over 900 years …
"The population of the Interstellar Spaceships has also increased over time. Their current population has long since exceeded ten billion. Originally, the Interstellar Spaceships could no longer be considered Interstellar Spaceships due to the continuous acquisition of resources from various planets. Instead, they were more like interstellar continents on their way to habitable planets.
"However, due to the limited resources available on these interstellar continents, the majority of the people can only live in virtual worlds. Only a very small number of people can move about in the outside world. Hence, their familiarity with virtual worlds is far beyond that of professional players. After all, virtual worlds have become their entire lives.
"The activation of God's Domain, in particular, has become their everything. We simply can't compare to them."
After Yu Luo finished speaking, the room fell silent for a long time. Solitary Nine and the others gaped at Yu Luo's words. They never thought that such a shocking thing had happened outside of Earth. Moreover, they had been completely unaware of it.
They couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of life it would be to live in the universe for several hundred years.
"So, that's how it is." Realization dawned on Shifeng.
In the past, before he had reincarnated, God's Domain had suddenly released an expansion pack in advance. This expansion pack was also the most unique expansion pack in God's Domain.
Normally, players would level up in God's Domain before being notified of the expansion pack. However, this expansion pack had first been released in the real world.
Even the name of the expansion pack had been released in advance.
War of Worlds!
This expansion pack had stated very clearly that several worlds would attack the main continent of God's Domain. For the sake of their own survival, these worlds would engage in an unprecedented war.
The winner was king!
The winner lived, and the loser died!
Back then, countless people in God's Domain had been excited. After all, the main continent of God's Domain's territories had been stabilized, and the number of disputes had decreased.
How could they not be excited when several worlds suddenly popped up to fight over?
The various major powers, in particular, had long since begun rubbing their hands in anticipation of the new expansion pack's release. They were prepared to charge into those worlds and begin a new journey.
Because of this, he had been fired …
Realization dawned upon everyone present. Yu Luo revealed a bitter smile and said, "I came here by accident. I was exploring Dragonheart City's underground space when I suddenly got sucked into a space-time storm. When I woke up, I found myself here. I've been here for 20 days already. I want to return, but regardless of whether I die or jump into another space-time storm, I can't return. Most importantly, I can't log out of the game here …"
"You can't log out?" Solitary Nine and the others shuddered when they heard this. They then hurriedly checked if they could log out.
If they couldn't, then this matter would blow up.
Although the current virtual gaming cabins were supplied with Nutrient Solutions, they could last up to two months without any issues. The latest virtual gaming cabins were even upgraded to allow players to stay in Stealth for three months. Even if the Nutrient Solutions ran out, the system would notify them in advance, and professionals would come to deal with them. They wouldn't have to worry about starving to death.
However, this still wasn't a good thing.
"What?! We really can't log out?! "Solitary Nine grew anxious.
If they couldn't log out of the game, it would be very inconvenient for them. After all, they had many things to deal with in the real world. Not only would it be extremely inconvenient, but it would also affect their bodies to a certain extent. In other words, they couldn't stay in the game for too long.
"I can't log out?"
Shifeng looked at the logout button displayed in the system interface. At this moment, the logout button was still lit up. This meant that he could log out at any time, unlike others who couldn't.
"Could it be because of the World Stone in my bag?" After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng concluded that the World Stone was the reason. It could stabilize the principles of all things, which meant that he should be able to travel freely in this world. "It seems that I don't have to be in such a hurry."
Although the ancient God's Domain was excellent, he had many things to deal with offline. He couldn't stay online for too long.
Now, however, he could relax.
Following which, Shifeng chatted with Yu Luo about the world of God's Domain, especially information related to Legacies.
After the conversation ended, Lifeless Thorn and the others sighed ruefully.
They had to admit that the world of God's Domain was truly different.
In the ancient God's Domain, players had a much easier time getting promoted than on the continent of God's Domain. As long as one had a team, obtaining a complete Tier 3 Legacy would be a piece of cake. In fact, as long as one had sufficient rare materials, one could even purchase a complete Legacy from a Tier 3 instructor. The only downside was that one could only purchase a Legacy three times.
As for the Tier 4 Promotion Quest, it was much easier than on the continent of God's Domain. At the very least, players didn't have to search for a Legacy Land. They could simply go to a Tier 4 instructor to accept their Tier 4 Promotion Quest and enter a Tier 4 Legacy Space.
Only, the Legacy Space wasn't cheap. Each Legacy cost 15,000 Magic Crystals. As for the Legacy Space's difficulty, players had to learn a Tier 4 Skill or Spell within a set time. Otherwise, they would have to wait 20 natural days before they could challenge the Legacy Space again.
Throughout Meteorite City, only three players had successfully cleared the Legacy Space.
Upon hearing this, the Shifeng couldn't help but wish that he could bring all of Ling Yi's Tier 3 Flowing Water Realm experts to the ancient God's Domain. Even if he had to spend a lot of Magic Crystals, it would be much better than searching for a Legacy Land. After all, searching for a Legacy Land was a time-consuming process.
If the continent of God's Domain's various major powers found out that they could solve the problem of finding a Legacy Land by spending Magic Crystals, they would most likely fight to the death.
"Commander, may I borrow 10,000 Magic Crystals from you?" Lifeless Thorn asked as he looked at Xiang Shifeng. "Once we return, I'll repay you double."
"Commander, you can't be so biased!" Solitary Nine hurriedly said.
He knew that the Shifeng hadn't brought a lot of Magic Crystals with him to the ancient God's Domain.
Yan Ya and Cleansing Whistle, who stood beside Shi Feng, similarly stared at him as if telling him to do as he pleased.
"Relax. Although I didn't bring a lot of Magic Crystals," Shifeng said, chuckling. Seeing this, Shi Feng could not help but chuckle. "However, I still have a way to allow each of you to challenge it once. Yu Luo, you can challenge it once as well."
"Me?" Yu Luo was stunned. "But I don't have that many Magic Crystals …"
She, too, was very envious of the Tier 4 Promotion Quest. However, it wasn't easy to accumulate Magic Crystals in Meteorite City. She had to use Magic Crystals every day, and she didn't have much left.
Even now, she only had a little over 4,000 Magic Crystals on hand. She was still far from 15,000 Magic Crystals.
"As long as you help me complete a task, I'll give you 15,000 Magic Crystals as your reward. How about it?" Shifeng asked Yu Luo.
The ancient God's Domain was a massive treasure trove. It was even billions of times more valuable than a Grade 1 ore vein. It was no wonder why three of the Five Great Super Guilds had sealed off the ancient God's Domain in the past.
If people in the outside world found out about this secret, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Of course, it wasn't easy to obtain resources and items from the ancient God's Domain. After all, the basic currency here was Magic Crystals. Although Magic Crystals were scarce in the modern God's Domain, the ancient God's Domain had plenty of them. Not to mention, the modern God's Domain's various aspects, such as weapons, equipment, and even Lifestyle classes, had fallen behind the ancient God's Domain.
Relying on the modern God's Domain's technology and items, it was impossible to earn resources from the ancient God's Domain. It was akin to a person from the Stone Age coming to the modern era. Aside from doing manual labor and slowly accumulating Magic Crystals, it was very difficult to obtain the ancient God's Domain's resources.
Fortunately, there were ways to earn money. The ancient God's Domain wasn't particularly proficient when it came to the mind and soul. The ancient God's Domain, in particular, was much weaker than the modern God's Domain when it came to Concentration recovery.
This point could be seen from the Concentration Recovery Potion that Cooling Cloud, a Master Alchemist, produced and the potions available on the market. The ancient God's Domain's Concentration recovery method was incomparably rare. Moreover, due to the death penalty in the ancient God's Domain, every player in the ancient God's Domain would be in a weakened state for a long time. Hence, they couldn't exhibit their original Mana control. If they could recover their lost Mana control, their combat power would increase significantly.
"Okay!" Yu Luo agreed. She understood that Shifeng wanted to help her. "What do you need me to do?"
Shifeng took out a Crystal of Souls from his bag. Looking at Yu Luo, he said, "Sell this Crystal of Souls at the Auction House. You're a member of the Knight Legion, so you should be able to spread the news easily. Just say that this Crystal of Souls saved Angelica Teresa's life and that the Crystal of Souls even has a slight soul-strengthening effect, greatly increasing your chances of getting promoted to Tier 4. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"That won't be a problem. If it's just spreading the news, I'm sure it'll spread throughout the city in just a few hours," Yu Luo said, nodding as she accepted the Crystal of Souls.
She had personally witnessed the effects of the Crystal of Souls, and what Shi Feng said was the truth. As for the matter regarding the Crystal of Souls' promotion to Tier 4, a stronger soul could also be considered an improvement in her learning capabilities. Hence, Shi Feng's claim wasn't a lie. Meanwhile, as a member of the Knight Legion, it would be a piece of cake for her to spread the news throughout the city.
Following which, Yu Luo left the guest room to spread the news. Meanwhile, Lifeless Thorn and the others returned to their rooms to sort out their thoughts and prepare for their upcoming Tier 4 challenge.
Looking at the empty guest room, Shifeng took out a Memory Crystal from his bag. This Memory Crystal was none other than the complete Legacy Guidance Crystal he had obtained from killing Todelya.
"This room's effects are quite good. My perception is 30% stronger than the outside world. Now that I still have some time, I can give it a try."
Shifeng then took out 100 Mana Crystals and activated the Memory Crystal in his hand.
