Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate.

Chapter 917 Cyber ​​Heaven
Since the establishment of the World Government, the inner world has been "controlled" and the mortal world has entered a rare period of peaceful development.

Ordinary people will no longer be regarded as cultivation resources and exploited and sold at will.

Small and medium-sized kingdoms would not be destroyed simply because they angered a powerful cultivator.

……

It can be said that the policy of the world government when it was first established was to completely isolate the inner and outer worlds.

To achieve this goal, the World Government enacted three major laws.

Although the inner world thus ushered in a "dark age", the mortal world saw the dawn of hope.

……

As the supernatural disappeared, the population of the Inner Ring world began to grow explosively and the social structure also changed.

In just a few hundred years, the humans in the Inner Ring World have forgotten the tragic years of the past and even regard supernatural powers as myths and legends.

At the same time, a force based on the material world called "technology" officially entered the stage of history.

Human beings invented guns and cannons, mastered the power of steam and lightning, and thus the seeds of scientific and technological civilization were born.

……

As time goes by, the technological power mastered by humans is becoming increasingly powerful.

Flying into the sky and hiding underground, and seeing thousands of miles away, all kinds of abilities in past myths and legends have been realized by humans through technology.

But this is not the end. The Internet, controlled nuclear fusion, combat mechas, genetic recombination, virtual reality, and various technological means are still changing at an astonishing speed.

……

So humans can’t help but wonder, what will it be like when technology reaches its peak?
It is under the impetus of this trend of thought that many literary and artistic works with science fiction elements were born.

The original version of "The Second World" was a work set in this era.

……

"Cyber ​​Heaven", is this the picture of the future given by the Diko Group?"

"This mechanical ascension is in the same vein as the Six Dimensional Cult."

Chen Qi was playing with an old first-generation gaming helmet. He could even see a game slogan on the slightly mottled helmet.

"Mechanical ascension, shared immortality."

……

"Cyber ​​Heaven" is the original version, or source, of the second world.

In fact, in the previous game updates, the [Second World] did not exist at all.

In other words, the Diko Group has not yet put forward the slogan of the Second World, and they do not have such big ambitions.

……

The background of the game "Cyber ​​Heaven" is very simple. It tells the story of "five hundred years in the future" when humans abandon their flesh and blood and upload their consciousness to the heaven server.

From then on, mankind was freed from the sufferings of birth, aging, sickness and disease, and there was no longer a gap between the rich and the poor. They achieved eternal life and world peace.

……

In Chen Qi's opinion, the game "Cyber ​​Heaven" is not attractive at all.

But in that era when human rights and democracy were just emerging, "Cyber ​​Heaven" became an instant hit once it was released.

The reason for its popularity is not how advanced the gameplay is.

Rather, it was its vision of the future, or the ideas it conveyed, that resonated with everyone.

……

Since ancient times, human society has promoted what it lacks.

In that era when democracy and human rights were on the rise, what human society naturally longed for was fairness, justice and freedom.

The future world envisioned by "Cyber ​​Heaven" satisfies all human desires.

……

In heaven, everyone is equal. There is no distinction between high and low, and no one will be enslaved by money anymore.

You will never again be unable to eat, go to school, see a doctor, or buy a house.

Everyone has endless resources and can do whatever they want.

……

In that era, virtual reality technology was in its infancy.

"Cyber ​​Heaven" is one of the few highly realistic virtual reality games on the market.

Entering this game is equivalent to having another life.

Everyone naturally wants to "enjoy" the wonderful life in the future.

It’s only natural that it’s so popular!

……

In Chen Qi's opinion, rather than saying that Cyber ​​Heaven is a game, it is more like a missionary tool of the Six-Dimensional Cult.

Although the Diko Group and the Six-Dimensional Cult eventually parted ways, "Cyber ​​Heaven" is really full of the shadow of "Zizaitian".

……

The predecessor of the Six-Dimensional Sect was the [Eternal Life Fund].

This is an organization established by a group of wealthy people in pursuit of immortality.

More than 800 years ago, they obtained a black helmet from the ruins of an ancient human civilization (the era of Tiandao League) and developed brain jailbreak technology.

Virtual reality technology was born.

……

About a hundred years later, virtual games began to become popular in human society.

The Diko Group, affiliated to the [Eternal Life Fund], developed the virtual game "Cyber ​​Heaven".

But at the same time, the [Eternal Life Fund] started playing with religion and developed a six-dimensional sect.

……

The Six-Dimensional Order divides the world of human cognition into six dimensions.

They advocate the collapse of the five senses, the leap of spiritual perception, and communication with [the Heaven of Freedom].

In the heaven of freedom, cause and effect can be reversed and time can flow backwards.

If you can enter the heaven of freedom, you can gain eternal life.

……

From a certain perspective, Cyber ​​Heaven is simply a variant of Free Heaven.

The game Cyber ​​Heaven should be another attempt by the [Eternal Life Fund].

……

The ultimate goal of the [Eternal Life Fund] is to pursue eternal life.

According to Chen Qi's speculation, what they obtained from the ruins should be far more than just brain jailbreak technology, but also relevant information about [Zizaitian].

Whether it is the collapse of the five senses of the Six-Dimensional Cult or the mechanical ascension of the Cyber ​​Heaven, they are all explorations of the Free Heaven by the [Eternal Life Fund].

It’s just that one is a technological means and the other is a religious model.

……

But in the end, the two went their separate ways.

As for the reason for their separation, Chen Qi had some guesses.

There must be some external force intervening, or more precisely, some force from the other world intervening.

……

After all, the road to Cyber ​​Heaven is simply not feasible using purely technological means.

In this regard, the insect world that Chen Qi traveled through in the past had already set an "example"!
They have been struggling for tens of thousands of years but have not been able to figure out how to upload consciousness.

……

The original Cyberpunk wasn’t even an extraordinary game.

But it eventually developed into the [Second World].

If there was no extraordinary knowledge provided by the other world during this period, no fool would believe it.

On the contrary, it is the Six-Dimensional Cult. The secret methods of these guys are so unique that they actually reject spiritual awakening.

It is impossible for the extraordinary world to invest in it, so they can only leave it alone.

……

"Whether it's Cyber ​​Heaven or Zizai Tian, ​​they all originated from the Eternal Life Foundation obtaining the black helmet."

"To use the black helmet, you must possess high-dimensional power."

"If the place that the black helmet is connected to, or where Dickens is now, is defined as [x]."

"It's just an ordinary person's immortality fund. It's absolutely impossible to enter [x] through the black helmet."

"Then their knowledge of [x] can only come from the information in the ruins."

Chen Qi connected the clues one by one, and the truth of the past began to unfold in front of Chen Qi bit by bit. …

"The so-called mechanical ascension, collapse of the five senses, and spiritual perception transition are all attempts by the Eternal Life Fund to enter [x] when they are unable to use the black helmet!"

"The black helmet originated from the era of the Heavenly Dao League, which means that the ancient cultivators have been exploring [x] for tens of thousands of years."

"After the ancient practitioners withdrew from the stage of the Inner Ring World, it is normal for the new practitioners to become interested in [x]!"

“So there were the continuous updates of Cyber ​​Heaven, and it eventually became the Second World.”

Although this is just Chen Qi's inference, the truth should be pretty close to the truth.

It's a pity that Chen Qi has not yet been promoted to a weaver, otherwise he wouldn't have to guess about the inside story of the [Second World] and the ruins, and could just look it up in the academy archives.

……

According to the original plan, Chen Qi did not intend to contact the [Second World] at this stage.

However, due to Dickens' situation, Chen Qi had to advance part of the plan.

But Chen Qi had also decided that this time he would only study the login device and help Dickens out of trouble, and he would definitely not enter [x].

……

The black helmet involves high-dimensional power. Even if Chen Qi has to enter it, he must wait until he comes out of the Boundless Kingdom.

The Boundless Kingdom involves the dimensional upgrading of the soul. If Chen Qi's soul can be sublimated, his own high-dimensional power will certainly become more powerful.

Only then did Chen Qi have enough confidence.

……

"Drip!"

"No response?"

"Hey, it's true."

Chen Qi activated the old-fashioned helmet in his hand and placed it next to Dickens.

To be more precise, it was placed next to the black helmet.

As a result, there was no resonance between the two. Although Chen Qi had guessed this a long time ago, he was still a little depressed.

……

This old-fashioned helmet has been completely eliminated and cannot even be used in the second world.

Even the game it was originally connected to, "Cyberheaven", was not considered an extraordinary game.

It had no reaction to the black helmet, which was normal.

……

According to the information Chen Qi found, virtual gaming helmets were used for a total of three generations, and then were completely replaced by gaming cabins.

Among these three generations, Cyber ​​Heaven has undergone two major game updates.

If the original "Cyber ​​Paradise" is a life game, players enter it just to experience different lives.

The two subsequent updates, however, supplemented the past of Cyber ​​Heaven and opened up a new future.

……

The first expansion pack update for Cyber ​​Heaven is "The End of the World".

This expansion describes in detail the world before human consciousness is uploaded.

Chen Qi only took one look and thought that "it was an exaggeration and too much worry."

Only ignorant mortals would think that nuclear war could destroy the world.

……

In the new expansion, a nuclear war broke out in the human world, and the world turned into a Jedi.

Humans who can no longer survive in this world are forced to upload their consciousness and enter heaven.

The emergence of this expansion pack completely distorted the "original intention" of Heaven.

……

The original heaven was a paradise that everyone longed for, a world of great harmony, but now it has become a refuge.

This began to deviate from the free god advocated by the Six-Dimensional Sect.

It was for this reason that Chen Qi concluded that there must be external forces influencing the Di Ke Group.

Otherwise they wouldn't have to do it.

……

The second expansion pack update of "Cyber ​​Heaven" is called [Journey].

The background is quite simple, but there are too many good days in heaven and it is too boring.

Then the people of heaven wanted to reshape their bodies and return to the real world.

……

Unfortunately, the original world has been completely polluted, all living things have died, and it is no longer suitable for life.

So they began to search for the new world.

This expansion pack can almost be regarded as the beginning of the [Second World].

It was after this update that “new worlds” of various forms began to appear one by one.

……

In "Zhengtu", in order to search for new worlds, the people of the Kingdom of Heaven created a huge mechanical creature.

It was an extremely huge telescope, and it was through it that Heaven discovered the existence of the new world.

The next game updates will be a bit routine and old-fashioned.

It is nothing more than the Kingdom of Heaven conquering new worlds.

Of course, the reasons began to become diverse, even full of a sense of justice.

……

"After using the game cabin, Cyber ​​Heaven has become a truly extraordinary game, even an extraordinary game with 100% simulation!"

“But at that time, it was not considered the [Second World].”

"Until the Kingdom of Heaven was transformed into a mechanical heaven that was high above and ruled over many worlds."

Chen Qi looked towards the third game cabin, which was the product of the seventh game update, 3 years ago.

It was also from then on that the technological power in games began to far surpass the real world.

And it was several eras ahead.

……

Even this trend has not narrowed over time, but has become larger and larger.

This is because human technological civilization in the real world has begun to stagnate.

Although ordinary people may not feel it deeply, the top technology in the Inner Ring World has indeed not changed much in hundreds of years.

On the contrary, it is the Mechanical Heaven that has developed its technology to an incredible level.

……

"I never expected that the reason why Cyber ​​Paradise became the Second World was because only there could humans develop their own technological civilization."

"It's obvious that all the parameters of Cyber ​​Heaven are exactly the same as those in the real world!"

"But the same experiment can be successful in Cyber ​​Heaven, but not in the real world!"

“No wonder many people regard it as a second world, or even think it is the real world.”

……

Chen Qi is well aware of the stagnation of technology in the real world.

There is no other reason, because psychic power exists in the real world.

The deeper one sinks into the microscopic realm, the greater the influence of spiritual energy on the microscopic particles of the material world.

In particular, the existence of the microscopic gate seriously interferes with the development of science and technology.

In fact, the second microscopic door is already the limit of what scientific and technological civilization can achieve.

……

Many of the technologies that came after were simply extraordinary means.

Although it is packaged a lot, it can still be presented to the public as technology.

This is also the reason why the vast majority of humans in the Inner Ring World are unaware of the stagnation of technology.

……

But for those scientific researchers, this is pure self-deception.

They have long given up hope in the real world.

So they completely immersed themselves in the game world, and the [Second World] was born.

Because more and more people are beginning to regard it as the real world, rather than a game.
