While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 376 Surprise

As consciousness sank into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, a magnificent palace with carved beams and painted rafters suddenly appeared.

The hall was empty except for Chen Xiao, who sat in the highest seat.

What's most astonishing is that the structure and scale of this palace, even down to the smallest details of the beam decorations and the arrangement of the seats, are exactly the same as the main hall where the group of powerful figures were received just now!

Chen Xiao slowly rose, strolled out of the hall, and looked up to see the familiar Dragon Island Square, bustling with people.

He could even clearly see Gu Yuan leading a group of powerful members of the ancient clan, surrounding Xun'er with a wide smile, while the Soul Emperor stood quietly in a corner of the square, his gaze fixed intently on his surroundings. Zhu Hong, meanwhile, was leading Bodhi, quietly explaining to him every plant and tree on the island—

In addition, Chen Xiao sensed that everyone living on Dragon Island, including Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Cao Ying, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, Jiu Xuan, and others, could be found here!

After observing quietly for a moment, Chen Xiao's thoughts stirred, and his figure silently appeared on the Central Continent.

Just as he had expected, wherever he went, he could hear the crowds talking loudly, and the focus of their discussions remained unchanged.

"To be honest, when the True Emperor first arrived in Zhongzhou, I was watching the assessments of the five major families at the Pill Tower. I was fortunate enough to see his true face once, and even then, I felt that he was no ordinary person. Now, seeing him, I can confirm it!"

"It's not like anyone is unlucky. I even went to Zixiao Pavilion to participate in the disciple selection back then, but unfortunately I was not selected in the end."

"I just received news that Qifeng Mountain is now bustling with people, and even a few Dou Sheng experts have emerged. They have sent a lot of good things to the Han family, hoping that the Han family can help them get an introduction. They have put on a very humble attitude, but the Han family is completely unmoved."

Traveling from the Central Continent to the Northwest Continent, and then from the Northwest into the frozen far north, wherever there were signs of life, there was a bustling scene, just like the real world.

Not only that, Chen Xiao also revisited the place where Bodhi had taken form. He raised his hand and parted the endless ocean, revealing the shockingly huge pit before his eyes.

These scenes all confirm one thing.

The world in Chen Xiao's mind is a perfect replica of the real world, a one-to-one reproduction!

"The so-called advance payment or advance receipt are all results achieved in this world. It's just that my strength was limited in the past, and I was unable to fully unfold the world in my mind. That's why it directly manifests in the form of a result. The subsequent process was originally something I should have completed in this world. Similarly, because this world did not unfold in the first place, it can only be completed in reality—"

Gazing at the world before him, so indistinguishable from reality, Chen Xiao, who had already gained some insight, had a clearer understanding of this suddenly appearing world within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Perhaps his potential in this world has not yet been fully realized, but even what he has just grasped so far already far surpasses what he previously anticipated.

From then on, he no longer needed to waste energy in the real world to complete any subsequent tasks he could obtain, whether it was rare and precious materials, fighting skills and supernatural abilities, or some kind of outcome.

Because the process of achieving that result has already been completed in this world!

Similarly, if a result cannot be achieved even with all efforts in this world, Chen Xiao certainly cannot obtain it in advance.

This is the same principle as the previous advance payment limit.

With this thought, Chen Xiao's consciousness returned to reality. He opened his eyes to find himself in the familiar main hall.

Upon rising and stepping outside the main hall, Chen Xiao saw Gu Yuan leading a group of powerful members of the Gu Clan towards Xun'er, his face beaming with smiles. Meanwhile, Soul Emperor Ziran, dressed alone, was heading towards a corner of the plaza, while Zhu Hong warmly greeted Bodhi.

These scenes seem familiar?

Or, to be more precise, Chen Xiao had previously seen the following scene in the world in his mind.

As expected, under Chen Xiao's watchful gaze, Gu Yuan and the others approached Xun'er, their faces crinkling with smiles. The Soul Emperor stood in a corner of the plaza, his gaze fixed intently on his surroundings. Zhu Honglang greeted Bodhi with a smile, introducing him to everything on the island—

As he watched this scene, which he had seen before, unfold before his eyes, a smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Xiao's face.

He had discovered that once his consciousness sank into the fake world, it seemed that no matter how long he stayed in it, time in the real world remained frozen at that moment!

This result brought Chen Xiao immense joy.

Its benefits are truly immense!

This means that Chen Xiao has countless opportunities to try and fail!

To be able to explore all possibilities in the world of your mind!

If a certain method successfully achieves the desired result, it can be directly pre-retrieved!

In this way, even if Chen Xiao encounters a powerful enemy with completely unknown methods one day, as long as there is even the slightest possibility of victory, he will be invincible!

Chen Xiao had a premonition that his mental projections might change again after advancing to the Dou Di realm, but he never expected that this change would bring him such a huge surprise.

With an undisguised smile on his face, Chen Xiao's consciousness once again sank into his mind.

Without the constraints of time, the Dou Qi Continent is full of wonders and magnificent sights, which we can take a good look at.

Perfect, it's also a good opportunity to practice my suddenly increased strength.

This time, Chen Xiao stayed in the world of his mind for a full six months before his consciousness slowly returned.

Along with his consciousness, a pretty woman also returned to the present. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be only a few years younger than Chen Xiao.

Her aura wasn't strong, only at the level of a nine-star Dou Huang. In today's Dragon Island, she would be the kind of inconspicuous nobody who could be thrown into a crowd.

"Where am I? Am I trapped in a hallucination?!"

Duanmu Yiqing looked around blankly, her face full of confusion.

She clearly remembered that by chance, she entered the place where a Dou Zun powerhouse had fallen. She thought it was a great fortune, but unexpectedly, she was met with one trap after another, which trapped her for more than half a year.

Despite her utmost caution, she was ultimately severely injured by a seventh-tier magical beast guarding her only path due to insufficient strength, and it took her more than half a year to recover.

It was at this moment that she was horrified to find herself in this unfamiliar place in a blur.

Even the deep-seated injuries on his body, which had been like maggots clinging to his bones, had completely disappeared, and he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

This dramatic change made it hard for her not to wonder if she had fallen into some kind of illusion.

"This is Dragon Island. You are safe now, Duanmu Yiqing."

Looking at the still confused woman, Chen Xiao chuckled.

He encountered this woman by chance in the Northwest Continent during his travels across the continent.

Of course, Chen Xiao wasn't just doing this out of boredom.

He rescued the woman because they had some connection.

I still remember that many years ago, Chen Xiao went to Huangfeng Valley, located on the edge of the Eastern Region, to complete the follow-up to the pre-paid Nine-Colored Origin Stone.

It was there that he obtained a nine-colored raw stone from Elder Duanmu Yang of Huangfeng Valley, thus completing the subsequent steps.

Before Elder Duanmu Yang passed away, he mentioned to Chen Xiao that he had a daughter who, unable to bear the gossip and strange looks within the sect, chose to travel alone, and her last known location was in the Northwest Continent.

As luck would have it, Chen Xiao happened to discover Duanmu Yiqing in danger during his travels across the continent, which is why he stepped in to save her.

However, the reason for bringing her back to Dragon Island was that Chen Xiao wanted to take this opportunity to carefully experience how the results of directly extracting the results completed in the mental world would change the real world.

After all, moving Duanmu Yiqing directly from the Northwest Continent to Dragon Island is a much bigger deal than restoring a chair. If it has any impact on the real world, it will be much easier to feel.

"So it was you who saved me, senior. Thank you so much for saving my life. Otherwise, I was afraid I would have been trapped and died in those ruins."

"There's no need for that. Many years ago, I met your father once. When he passed away, he asked me to tell you that the elders of Huangfeng Valley are all very kind people. They never really made fun of you. After you left, they all felt guilty and told you not to hold a grudge."

"You've just escaped danger, and you must have a lot of questions right now. Take a walk around Dragon Island. You can ask anyone you have any questions about. The people here are all very nice and friendly. Once you understand the situation, you can stay here to cultivate."

Chen Xiao smiled, raised his hand and waved it lightly, sending Duanmu Yiqing, whose eyes were wide open, whether in shock at the thought that her father had passed away or at the discovery of Chen Xiao's identity, to the square below.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao released his soul perception to carefully experience the differences of the Dou Qi Continent.

In particular, the ruins where Duanmu Yiqing encountered danger.

Soon, Chen Xiao sensed that the seventh-tier magical beast that had been guarding the only way through the ruins seemed to have noticed Duanmu Yiqing's sudden disappearance and let out a series of angry roars.

Apart from this, it seems that no other aspects of the continent have been affected.

"Is there really no other price to pay—" Chen Xiao took out an empty jade bottle.

He had already given the healing pills inside to Duanmu Yiqing in the fake world, so it was no surprise that the pills had disappeared now.

The fact that the outcome in the virtual world can be predicted requires only such a small, predictable effort is truly astounding—

I'm a little embarrassed!
