Chapter 4: Creating a Virtual Reality Game—I’m Going to Make Gods!

Moreover, Leaf Zhi’s identity was special.

Maybe just at the moment of Godhood Ascension.

Anyone who awakened through his Shell could become some resurrected old thing!

The Guangqiu was immersed in the shock of the God’s fall, speechless.

Leaf Zhi continued to study the Blue Light Cluster.

He really couldn’t achieve Godhood.

However.

After finally encountering a Divine Spark that could be used without ascending to Godhood, and finding his own Goldfinger,

Of course Leaf Zhi had to make use of it!

A Blue Star Network, a Guangming Shen’s Divinity Shard…

How could they be connected?

On the Blue Star Network, Leaf Zhi was just a tourist.

And a Blue Light Cluster was merely a network interface.

Aside from viewing, nothing could be taken out of the network—it seemed it could only be used to pass the time.

As for Guangming Shen’s Divinity Shard, it wasn’t recognized by the World Laws as a God.

It only possessed basic Godly traits.

For example, disguising as a series of things like birds, fish, insects, systems, etc.

And it could only masquerade as a Shell, without any corresponding functions.

For instance, being able to detect its own status, serving as a Status Detection Device.

Or creating a Godly Doppelganger…

Wait, Godly Doppelganger!

Leaf Zhi thought of something and opened the Hot Search Ranking he saw at the very beginning in the Blue Light Cluster.

His gaze fixed on the first entry, marked “hot.”

Next Generation Virtual Reality Game Concept Trailer ‘Divine Realm’ Released!

“I got it!”

Leaf Zhi’s eyes sparkled.

“I can’t achieve Godhood, but I can let other things do it, and indirectly enjoy the other functions of the Divine Spark!”

He wanted to let the game ascend to Godhood!

The Guangqiu looked utterly confused: “Huh? What did you say?”

The other party’s attitude had changed so quickly, it couldn’t keep up.

Wasn’t he just resisting a second ago?

And the words…

Why did they sound so strange?

The ghostly blue flames in Leaf Zhi’s eye sockets blazed.

“I said, I want to create a God!!”

The Blue Light Cluster could only be temporarily used to access the Blue Star Network.

But it didn’t completely reject the input of Leaf Zhi’s magic power.

Based on experiments, after probing it with magic for ten minutes,

Surprisingly, a thousandth of the magic managed to enter the Blue Star Network!

Though the use of such a small amount of magic was limited,

At best, Leaf Zhi could log in with two tourist accounts instead of one.

But it was a sign of progress!

The space needed for this bit of magic equaled the consciousness projection of an ordinary person who had never practiced magic!

In other words, as long as Leaf Zhi prepared a container for consciousness projection in Aeltia, he could pull Blue Star natives over!

If he disguised Aeltia as a virtual reality game, Leaf Zhi could even use quests to get them to help him!

If the game was well made,

The Blue Star natives’ love for the game could become Faith Power to nourish the Divine Spark!

“Is this the legendary, tracing someone through the network cable?”

Leaf Zhi’s heart burned, even the pain from his injuries felt lighter!

He calculated the various Magic Spells he had learned over more than six hundred years on the Aeltia Continent.

After tallying them up, he found that he could just manage the feat of packaging another world as a game!

Leaf Zhi kept guiding magic into the Blue Light Cluster, deepening the link between the two worlds.

At the same time, he opened the Status Panel again.

Although he now had a clear plan for the future,

He still needed to focus on the present.

He was just an Undead, wounded by Forbidden Magic Backlash and still in mortal danger.

Leaf Zhi needed to see if there was anything on the Guangqiu that could help him.

Within the Light God’s Authority, there should be a portion related to healing, right?

[Name: Leaf Zhi]

[Race: Undead]

[Level: 21 (Intermediate Mage) / 159 (Demigod)]

[Skills: Soul Perception, Myriad Transformations, Multiple Avatars (0/10)]

[Authority: Life Resurrection, Life Purification]

[Divine Power Value: 99]

[Believer: None]

[Special Item: ?异?时?空?网?灵?, Divine Contract (Reversed)]

[Status: Severe Injury, Bone Fracture, Weakness, Frostbite, Burn, Poisoning, Mental Sea Collapse, …]

[Summary: Dying Undead]

[Lifespan: 3 days 23 hours 34 minutes]

A while had passed since he last checked, and now there was an extra line of data at the bottom of the panel.

Leaf Zhi let out a “Yo-ho!”

“What’s this, I can still live for four days—pretty long, actually.”

Name and race needed no explanation.

There were two levels, probably due to his dying state.

The first was the highest magic level he could currently use.

He could only cast Intermediate Magic Spells at best for now, making him a weakling who couldn’t even leave the Rinwind Plains alone.

The second was his peak magic level.

The Backlash from failed Forbidden Magic was still eating away at Leaf Zhi’s body.

It seemed his magic level could still fall much further.

The three skills in the skill bar were all familiar to Leaf Zhi—abilities brought by Godly traits.

They were the skills he freeloaded from the Guangqiu.

In Leaf Zhi’s words, they were:

Soul Perception—scanning one’s detailed state, acting as a Status Detection Device;

Myriad Transformations—used for disguising the system and deceiving oneself;

Multiple Avatars—useful for personality splitting when the mind isn’t right;

Incarnation was due to the special nature of the Godly form, unable to stay on the Aeltia Continent for long, so most of the time they had to remain in the Land of the Gods.

If they wanted to visit, they could only borrow the Incarnation of a weaker person.

Leaf Zhi was already in Aeltia, and with the Mental Sea Collapse debuff in his status bar, he simply couldn’t bear the cost of creating an Avatar.

This ability was completely useless to him.

ps: That was his opinion not long ago.

Now, seeing the third Godly trait, his eyes shone like a 500-watt lightbulb!

“Good stuff! Isn’t this the source for the Player’s body!”

A Godly Doppelganger required tearing off a portion of the soul or spirit from the main body to function.

Leaf Zhi could totally throw the Player’s consciousness projection in before instilling the Avatar!

The potential of a Godly Doppelganger was much greater than a skeleton picked up off the roadside!

The power of Players he could possess would also be stronger!

As for the Authority bar…

[Authority: Life Resurrection, Life Purification]

Leaf Zhi’s mouth, grinning to his ears, closed a bit.

He dragged the daydreaming Guangqiu over.

“Hey, aren’t you Guangming Shen’s Divinity Shard? Why do the Authority you carry have nothing to do with Light Magic?”

“Ah, ah, this…”

The Guangqiu stammered,

“Light God is dead, and you also know about the relationship between God and Divine Spark…

Whether it’s the lowest-level goblin or a dragon favored by magic, the highest realm achievable through independent cultivation is Demigod.

To go further and truly become a God, one must grasp a portion of the Authority of the World Laws.

The materialization of Authority is the Divine Spark.

When a Divine Spark appears, a God is born;

When a God dies, the Divine Spark shatters.

The unspoken meaning of the Guangqiu’s words was obvious.

Naturally, Light God’s Authority had dissipated with His death.
