Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 349: Virtual God
The lively atmosphere in the venue lasted for a while before eventually dissipating.

Both Yu Xiaoyu and newborn babies need rest.

However, before that, Ji Fuyou obviously had another task to handle.

……

"name."

Feeling the gazes of Ji Qingqing, Yu Xiaoyu, and everyone else focused on him...

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment and said, "We originally envisioned the boy being named Ji Xinghe and the girl being named Ji Mengyao. Since it's a boy, let's go with what we originally thought: Ji Xinghe. We hope that in the future, his world will not be limited to a city, a country, a continent, or a region, but will be the vast and boundless universe."

This can be seen as Ji Fuyou's best wishes for the human civilization of Red Star.

If humanity can truly weather this crisis and defeat the Star-Eating Monster, their future will certainly not end on the Crimson Star.

Otherworldly races and the vast universe are their true journey.

……

Yu Xiaoyu has the Sky Dome Medical Center and many people accompanying her, so she doesn't need Ji Fuyou's care.

He himself is currently in a special state.

A sort of……

The world is constantly switching between reality and illusion.

So, after spending some time at the Sky Dome Medical Center, he had Lu Yao drive him to Starlight University.

After he transmigrated to this world, he basically stayed in this city.

From summer jobs to university, and then to graduation...

He followed the footsteps he had taken upon arriving in this world, walking step by step.

And with each place they visited, the structure of Starlight City in their spiritual world became clearer and more real.

I walked past the small shop where I used to work, past the university where I attended, past the library where I once studied...

Gradually, we arrived at a somewhat old residential area.

This neighborhood was where he lived for a long time after moving out of his university dormitory.

After circling around the neighborhood, it got dark without me even realizing it.

But Ji Fuyou showed no intention of stopping.

Lu Yao continued to drive him towards Fulong Mountain.

Finally, as night fell, he stopped on the path leading to "Yunmengju".

This path hasn't changed much from what it was a year ago.

Even the surrounding weeds, which had grown overgrown, hadn't been cleared much and looked even more lush.

Ji Fuyou stood there, the world in his mind constantly changing.

But the scene that has changed the most is still the one where he, Ji Qingqing, and Yu Xiaoyu first entered the fog here.

He looked up and gazed at the distant Fulong Mountain.

It's on that mountain...

No, we haven't reached the mountain yet.

Just at the foot of the mountain, a mile or two from Yunmeng Residence, he fought and killed a leopard-man.

The lowest-ranking orc species.

Of course, that leopard-man was different; it actually possessed mental abilities and could create fear and intimidation in its targets.

Although it was somewhat unusual, this leopard-man ultimately died at his hands, marking the beginning of his overcoming his mental obstacles and embarking on the path of cultivation.

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

He seemed to be admiring the scenery of the area, but his greater focus was on shaping the scene.

When the scene was almost finished, he turned his gaze to Lu Yao beside him: "I need you to do me a favor."

"Mr. Ji, please feel free to give your instructions."

Lu Yao quickly replied.

"Take ten minutes to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and try to memorize every detail."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Although Lu Yao didn't know what Ji Fuyou was planning to do, she quickly looked around.

Ten minutes later, she turned back to Ji Fuyou: "Mr. Ji, I've written some down, but because it's getting dark, I can't see many places very clearly."

"Okay."

Ji Fuyou said, "Next, I will cast a mental magic spell on you, similar to telepathic resonance, and you will be trapped in an illusion."

Lu Yao nodded with a serious expression.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou is using his mysterious refining technique...

To be precise, he directly pulled Lu Yao into the dream he had just created.

The moment he pulled her into this dream, Ji Fuyou immediately abandoned maintaining the dream's structure.

However, although he no longer maintained this dream, it did not collapse.

Because, from this moment on, this dream will continue...

At least the person maintaining the existence of this area is no longer Ji Fuyou, but Lu Yao.

At this moment, Lu Yao seemed to be unaware of what was going on.

Because, in her mind, she couldn't distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.

She even glanced at Ji Fuyou with some doubt.

It seemed that he hadn't yet used his mental magic.

Ji Fuyou did not reply, but said, "I sensed a demon appearing ahead. Hmm, it's just a leopard-man. Go and deal with it."

"Yes."

Lu Yao was puzzled, but she still quickly stepped forward.

Sure enough, a leopard-man rushed out of the darkness shortly afterward.

However, as a member of the Lu family, Lu Yao had refined a considerable number of source crystals, and her physical strength stat reached 22 points, making it easy for her to deal with a mere leopard man.

But... after the leopard man was killed, another leopard man immediately attacked.

As she killed more and more leopard-men, even human-shaped spiders began to appear.

Lu Yao had no choice but to continue fighting these monsters.

After killing many spider-like creatures, mutated bats, giant scorpions, and skeleton monsters even appeared.

"how come?"

Lu Yao couldn't understand why these monsters kept emerging, and there were so many of them that they seemed impossible to kill, even though there was no fog around.

However, considering that Ji Fuyou, the strongest person in Crimson Star, was beside her, she quickly stepped forward and began to fight the monster.

But the skeleton monster was, after all, a creature of Huanglong Cave, and its appearance at the foot of Fulong Mountain made her feel awkward no matter what.

This awkwardness lasted for a moment...

A sudden thought flashed through her mind: "Could it be... that I've already fallen into the illusion Mr. Ji described?"

As my thoughts began to wander, the surrounding environment began to feel increasingly unreal.

The next moment, Lu Yao jolted awake and suddenly struggled out of this illusion that made it almost impossible for her to distinguish between reality and fiction.

The moment I struggled out, an unprecedented weariness washed over me.

She even felt dizzy and wished she could faint on the spot.

"Your mental energy is depleted; take a break and meditate."

Ji Fuyou's voice rang out.

Lu Yao glanced at Ji Fuyou with difficulty, but out of absolute trust in him, she quickly entered meditation.

As Lu Yao entered a meditative state, Ji Fuyou also obtained experimental data: "When their mental energy is depleted to a critical point, their instinct for survival will make them feel uneasy and doubtful. In addition, when their mental energy is too depleted, it will be difficult to maintain the illusionary scene, thus creating a flaw. When the two are combined, they will struggle out of the illusion."

Ji Fuyou paused as he spoke, "The premise is that after I bring her in, I will not interfere in any way."

At that moment, he gradually realized the astonishing potential of the world that had been nurtured deep within his soul.

"The reason why I cannot run around freely in the world constructed by the Great Dream Scripture, and why I have to spend a long time adjusting my mental state after each death, is because... I am a human being, and my mental capacity is limited."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Even though his current mental capacity is as high as 42 units, which, when converted to a total capacity, is equivalent to hundreds or thousands of people, but...

This still doesn't change the fact that he is just a person.

Human beings have their limits.

Spiritual growth, too, has its limits.

His limited mental capacity made it impossible for him to truly construct a completely realistic world.

If it covers an area of ​​several tens of kilometers, it would be considered a truly profound and mysterious dream.

but now……

It's different.

The structure of that world deep within his soul allows him to draw in the thoughts, consciousness, and cognition of others, replacing that part of the world's structure with their "spirit."

Just now, he used Lu Yao's understanding of the surrounding environment to construct this area.

Next, he created a leopard-man.

The remaining leopard-men were all constructed by Lu Yao's own "spirit".

The same applies to spiders with human bodies, bats, giant scorpions, and skeleton monsters.

He only constructed it once, but Lu Yao used her own understanding to perfect these monsters and "summon" them. In the repeated battles, she made these monsters more and more realistic and powerful.

Only when her mental energy was completely exhausted and she was on the verge of collapse did she "see" the illusion under the instinct for survival and finally struggled out.

and so……

"Such a world can no longer be considered a dream world, or even a completely illusory world."

Ji Fuyou muttered to himself.

At least, he doesn't need to activate the Great Dream Scripture, nor does he need to be in a dreamlike state to condense this world.

He can easily project the power of this world and influence others if he so desires.

and so……

This world needs to be given a new name.

"The Realm of the Illusory Gods".

A virtual world built upon spiritual power.

"In this world, everyone is an illusion, a variable, only I am immortal and indestructible, eternal and constant."

He is the foundation of the existence of the Realm of the Void Gods.

In a sense, it serves as a reference point for everyone who enters this world.

"I need more people to enter the Realm of the Void Gods, to use their spiritual power, their thinking ability, and their understanding to completely perfect this world..."

Ji Fuyou gradually realized the true purpose of the Void God Realm.

"Many people have their mental energy wasted; less than one-tenth of their mental energy is actually used effectively. At that time, the Void God Realm can collect this mental energy and use it for its own purposes, constructing things that were originally impossible and maintaining states that were impossible to maintain..."

such as……

First, create an immortal body in the Realm of the Gods.

The mental strain of death will be borne by others in the Realm of the Gods.

Once he achieves this, he will no longer need to meditate to recover his mental state after each "death" in the Realm of the Gods.

He can challenge the defensive network of sixty seventh-tier demon archers in the Demon Suppression Valley time and time again.

You can also try various cultivation methods again and again, and even if you die, you can be resurrected immediately and continue to try and fail.

Even more so, through greater mental exertion, one can enter a deep dream state, turning one hour into 16 hours.

if only……

With enough beings entering the Realm of the Void Gods, and enough dissipated spiritual energy provided, this world...

It has endless possibilities!
