Chapter 1224: Virtual War Space
However, Zhao Guang quickly discovered a problem with this space.
Just like his Plane Ring, the ground of this space had only one layer, and the sky was too high, wasting space. But unlike his Plane Ring, this world didn't need to store things.
So Zhao Guang thought for a moment and added some new runes to adjust it, slicing the entire world vertically.
Layer by layer, Zhao Guang cut the main world into a thousand layers, instantly increasing the area a thousandfold.
"Not bad, not bad, now this space feels bigger than the entire Main World. Next, it's time to release various magic beasts and monsters." For this, Zhao Guang didn't need to do it himself.
Because there was the advanced consciousness of the Mage Tower's core, which was the divine being of this world.
In this world, that consciousness was just below himself but could only influence this world itself.
Yet in this world, the Mage Tower's consciousness could easily accomplish things more terrifying than those of the Creator God. Whether it was altering terrain or creating creatures, it all seemed as simple as running a program.
Except for the underlying information set by Zhao Guang, everything else was manipulable.
With Zhao Guang's command, all the worlds began to change.
The terrain underwent massive modifications, completely disregarding the original matter. Each layer of terrain was different, some pure land, some oceanic environments, and others akin to sky-floating islands; a variety of formations existed.
The nine Mage Towers became the elevators connecting each layer, and only through these places could one move up and down.
Therefore, the locations of these nine Mage Towers were destined to become the core of these worlds in the future.
Zhao Guang directly set these places as the main cities to prevent them from being overtaken by others later.
Moreover, different creatures or monsters were released into different layer-worlds. The higher the level, the stronger the creatures. On the last level, Legendary Level creatures were everywhere.
Of course, they hadn't truly reached Legendary status; they were mere imitations.
Unfortunately, the Demigod level was too high, and this world couldn't imitate it yet.
Even if forced to imitate, it could only target Legends; true Demigods could easily spot the flaws.
"Let's isolate a layer for military drills, forget it, this layer's main theme will be war. Isolate a corner for training our Kingdom's army; other parts can be used as a game."
The real military training and games were still different, requiring many adjustments.
With Zhao Guang's words, the entire world immediately changed.
So next, it was necessary to create connection devices. This device was simple, but the basic magic array had to be designed by him and simplified so others could produce it.
Otherwise, relying just on himself, who knows when the production would end.
After manufacturing a few helmets, Zhao Guang summoned some important figures from his territory. But then he thought, why not expand it a bit, so he invited people from various fields and even some from other countries.
This turned into a grand event, with key figures from all fields gathering together.
When Zhao Guang appeared, everyone was shocked; they didn't expect him to appear personally.
Since breaking through to Demigod, Zhao Guang naturally stood apart from others. Once he appeared, his aura felt oppressive to everyone; after all, he was a Demigod.
Zhao Guang nodded to indicate everyone not to be nervous, then had the attendants bring out the helmets one by one.
These were all improved by Zhao Guang; if anything happened around, the helmets would alert the wearer. In emergency situations, the helmets would forcibly awaken the person.
Zhao Guang had programmed all sorts of emergencies into them, and if new ones arose, the Mage Tower's core would assist in adding them.
"Everyone, don't be nervous; I've gathered you today mainly to show a new achievement. It's a new world, usable as a game or a business endeavor; in short, this world is very interesting."
Zhao Guang gave an introduction, emphasizing that it was transformed from a plane space.
This wasn't purely virtual, and he might not create another in the future.
So this place transitioned from being virtual to having real value.
Zhao Guang knew the immense value generated by virtual games on Earth, and those were just real programs. His was semi-real, so the value could only be greater.
"Alright, now everyone, give it a try," Zhao Guang said to the others after an introduction.
The others didn't mind, thinking Zhao Guang wouldn't harm them.
If he intended harm, he wouldn't need to use such a method; at his level, explanations were unnecessary.
Everyone entered one by one, soon seeing this vast and barren world. It was like untouched land; developing it would yield great benefits.
Even if the things inside couldn't be brought out, the intrinsic value was immense.
"Truly, it's just like reality, and there are various intelligent species over there."
These were also created, very realistically imitated, but some stiffness could still be seen. Creating so many intelligent beings wasn't easy; if entirely real, the Mage Tower core couldn't handle the computational load.
"This was already real; I'm more curious if we can live here after death."
Zhao Guang glanced at the old man who spoke, knowing that people of such age cared most about lifespan.
Zhao Guang said, "That's a wonderful suggestion. I plan to create a special helmet to extract a person's soul after death and inject it into this world. The soul's capacity allows for survival here for a thousand years after death."
"What about after a thousand years? I heard the undead are eternal, right?"
Such greed, isn't a thousand years enough? Zhao Guang thought, but he maintained a calm expression.
"If you want to continue living after a thousand years, only erasing original memories will do; otherwise, memories become a huge burden. Even Witch Demons don't withstand it entirely on their own."
Erasing memories would make someone like the original inhabitants here, but who would choose death if survival was possible.
They hadn't realized Zhao Guang was essentially competing with the Netherworld for soul ownership.
