Old days in the box

Chapter 516: In order to gain more users, we decided to use force!

"what!"

The man suddenly woke up from a deep sleep and almost fell off the wooden chair due to his own shaking. He held the handle and gasped for breath, sweating profusely.

What was that you just saw?
He looked around, and reality returned to his most familiar wooden house. His wife was cooking a simple vegetable soup, and the children were playing happily. Everything was normal, as if what had just happened was just a stupid dream.

But if it was really a dream, then the dream just now was too real.

That figure who knew everything, the suffocation and pain that branded his soul, were all painful feelings that he could not easily forget.

Is it...

The man stood up doubtfully, put down the bottle of wine in his hand, walked out of the house again, and returned to the outside where the cold wind was howling.

Then he mustered up his courage and whispered to the cold weather the words he had imitated in his dream.

As the secret words came out of his mouth, a network of vibrations came from the void, bringing with it soft light and warm flames, spinning in the air to form a controllable cluster of flames.

This is actually true!

The man stretched out his hand eagerly to take the flame, but the transmission of the network was fleeting and soon disappeared into the air, taking the flame with it.

And the next second, some information gradually emerged in his mind, as if knowledge was being poured into his brain.

First-level spell, fire control.

Type of magic: Elemental magic: Fire.

The man faced these messages that suddenly appeared in his mind in a daze. His expression gradually changed from dull to awakened, surprised, and joyful. After a long while, he belatedly knelt down towards the sky where the cold wind was howling.

But he wasn't the only lucky one chosen.

Billions of stars, vast star fields measured in light years, all worlds covered by the quantum magic network, all began to experience a large number of similar situations, and the figure of a mysterious lady was glimpsed in dreams.

They may be warriors fighting against the cold wave, apprentices studying secret techniques, prisoners in cages, or princes of noble birth, and the only common feature among them is their innate high spiritual talent.

From a certain moment, in their respective spiritual journeys, they gradually began to see the shadow of a lady lingering in a corner of the deepest part of their subconscious.

When they sleep, when they meditate, when they seek, when they die.

The Lady is unknowable, Her features are often hidden behind threads, showing only a double outline;
The lady is knowledgeable and seems to have the answers to all the secrets in this world. She has great appeal in spiritual exploration.

But the lady is generous. She always imparts knowledge to every mortal who is lucky enough to stray into her garden. However, every time people wake up, they can only remember one or two words from the divine words.

That is the spirit of language, the power of the spirit of words.

A thousand listeners can hear a thousand answers, and the words heard by every mortal taught by the Lady are different.

Some people master elemental magic, some master undead magic, some master white magic, and some master natural magic.

They all searched for the lady's footsteps through their own spiritual words, but they all found that they could no longer find her after their first meeting. After all, all mortals who connected to the magic network only needed to meet Hela for the first time and leave the imprint of their souls in the data center. The subsequent summoning and use were all personal cultivation and had nothing to do with Hela.

But the more this happened, the more curious these spellcasters became about this mysterious lady.

After understanding the Word Spirits and the magic system up to the twelfth level, they became more and more awed by this lady at the top of the pyramid, and their way of addressing her gradually changed from "she" to "Him".

This is the beginning of faith.

Above the secret room of all things, Hela carefully manages these thousands of silk threads, while strolling in the dreams of hundreds of millions of people, looking for those outstanding talented mortals.

Zhou Xiao was also observing Him quietly behind the screen, one screen within another, watching how the Mother of All Things could spy on the consciousness of all living beings at the same time in such a small secret room.

This is really a nesting doll.

Originally, Zhou Xiao controlled the creatures of the Nine Realms through the box, and now Hela is also connecting the souls of thousands of spellcasters through the magic net. This time, it really is a matter of object resembling the master. Only with such a main god can there be such a subordinate god.

But to be fair, Hela is indeed the most qualified person for this job.

Under his work, the entire magic network has been operating at a speed visible to the naked eye. A large number of soul imprints have been left in the center, and the usage of the first-level magic network has increased dramatically.

In the near future, as the number of users accumulates, the first batch of power of faith will soon receive feedback, and then not only Hela but also Zhou Xiao will be able to benefit from it.

Zhou Xiao withdrew his gaze from the magic net, shrunk the window into the two secondary screens, and put the image of the atrium back on the main screen.

Hela, as the mother of all things, has taken her place and started working, so where is Sharon, the other creator of the magic network?
In the structure that Zhou Xiao originally designed, Hela is the goddess of the magic network, in charge of all the order and operation within the magic network, while Sharon, as the spirit of the magic network, is naturally responsible for the development and expansion outside the magic network.

She is the "many" in the one-to-many, the "virtual" in the real and the virtual. Different from Hela who operates the magic web, Sharon symbolizes the incarnation of the entire magic web itself. She exists at every edge of the web, always seeking the instinct of expansion and survival.

The task corresponding to Sharon is the subsequent expansion war.

With the establishment of the magic network, the clarion call of war soon spread back to the atrium, finally sounding the long-awaited interstellar expedition for this group of people.

Although the magic network is full of mysteries, all of its functions still rely on the transmission of the quantum magic network. In other words, the words can only take effect in the area covered by the quantum magic network.

Originally, this network only existed in the atrium, but after Superman-Prime shattered the realm elevator and caused countless intelligent machines to scatter to different realms, this network spread to several realms at once, becoming a vast ocean of data spanning multiple worlds.

But this is far from enough for the current magic network.

If the magic network wants to thrive, it must cover a wider range and strengthen the signal.

Although the current quantum magic network has grown countless times in size, the signals between different domains are scattered and the authority is confusing. The control of many areas is not in the atrium at all.

To build a larger magic network, the first step is to recover all the newly added logic centers and unify the overall control in the hands of the atrium. The next step is to expand outward and further expand the quantum magic network to star fields that have never been touched before.

There is no doubt that the method Zhou Xiao chose was of course the most convenient method of expansion by force.
