Chapter 361 Dao Fruit: Imprint
……

at the same time.

In that vast and boundless virtual world, where rules are interwoven like threads, a very special "godhood" was quietly conceived!
When this "divine essence" first came into Wu Wen's view, its semi-illusory, semi-real form, shimmering with strange light, instantly captured all his attention.

Wu Wen's eyes widened, his face filled with undisguised astonishment.

He truly never expected that this thing would be born out of thin air during the simulation and construction of such a virtual world.

However, Wu Wen soon had doubts again.

This "divine status" is quite different from what he knew.

It lacks that aloof and unapproachable majesty, instead exuding a gentle and profound charm, as if it contains the most fundamental mysteries of the entire virtual world.

Upon closer inspection, Wu Wen felt that this "divine spark" was more like the "Dao Fruit" mentioned in the ancient texts that he knew!
"Dao Fruit" is the ultimate product of the condensation and sublimation of the rules of the entire world. It is the core hub of the system's operation and the source of control over all laws and order.

It is not simply a collection of forces, but rather it carries the entire virtual world from its birth to its evolution.

The ultimate imprint of all information, matter, and energy interactions.

now,

This "divine essence," resembling a "Tao Fruit," floats quietly in the center of the virtual world, its light flowing and subtly resonating with the surrounding space.

Wu Wen could truly feel that the fluctuations emanating from this "Dao Fruit" were influencing the operation of the entire virtual world in an indescribable way.

The matter and energy that originally operated according to the established rules seemed to become more dynamic and changeable under the influence of this "Tao Fruit".

What were originally simple physical phenomena began to generate all sorts of amazing reactions; what were originally fixed energy flow paths also began to subtly shift and recombine...

Wu Wen felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

He realized that this unexpectedly born "Tao Fruit" might become the key to his exploration of the deeper mysteries of the virtual world, and even to the perfect integration of the information world and the material world.

And indeed, Wu Wen's guess came true.

Since the "Dao Fruit" was conceived,

The virtual space controlled by Wu Wen was naturally expanding outwards, like a worm being devoured!
Currently, Wu Wen's virtual space covers the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, Wu Wen's virtual space only expanded when the Tang Dynasty expanded its territory and extended its power to new lands.

But the situation is different now.

The emergence of "Tao Fruit" allows the virtual space to grow on its own.

In this way, as time goes by, Wu Wen's virtual space will gradually cover the entire Earth, allowing Wu Wen to ascend to the throne of "Lord of the Planet" step by step.

"Does this mean I've already achieved my pre-set cultivation goals ahead of schedule?" Wu Wen couldn't help but ask himself.

However, Wu Wen immediately corrected his attitude.

Because although it now seems that one's path of cultivation is clear, a broad and open road, and all that is needed is to take a step forward.

However, this process will take a considerable amount of time. The Earth is so vast that complete coverage cannot be accomplished overnight.

Moreover, there are many variables hidden in this process, which need to be taken into account.

"As long as the goal has not been achieved, we still need to work hard cautiously!" Wu Wen cheered himself on inwardly.

But the truth is,

His heart was already bursting with joy. The calm state of mind he had maintained through years of spiritual practice could no longer be contained by his inner elation.

Wu Wen had even begun to consider expanding beyond Earth after conquering it.

however,
It turns out that

Wu Wen was indeed thinking too soon.

Just two months after the "Dao Fruit" was successfully conceived, the first trouble came knocking.

Moreover, the other party's identity was beyond Wu Wen's expectations.

It turned out to be the extraterrestrial demon that Wu Wen had encountered in the "Quantum Vacuum Fluctuation" sea.

On Phoenix Mountain,

Suddenly the light dimmed.

It was like the end of the world.
The area slowly descended into darkness, as if an abyss had descended and swallowed it whole. Wu Wen's figure then appeared.

Instantly, countless eerie tentacles swayed and revived around him.

Wu Wen's small, thin body looked as if it were being embraced by a colossal creature.

Directly in front of him appeared two enormous pupils, like demons from the abyss, radiating a silent gaze that stared intently at Wu Wen.

"We meet again!"

Upon receiving the message wave from the other party, Wu Wen calmly replied:

"You actually came out of the Chaos Sea to find me. What do you want?"

"Of course you should take what's mine!" the extraterrestrial demon said again. "Shouldn't I give you something in return?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen thought to himself, "Free things are never easy to get."

The other party had given him the Void Engine technology, and now he was demanding payment.

"What do you want?" Wu Wen asked.

The extraterrestrial demon extended a tentacle, pointing in one direction.

Looking at what it was pointing to, Wu Wen smiled slightly.

The other party really dared to make such a request; what they wanted was actually his own Dao Fruit!

"What if I don't give it to you?" Wu Wen smiled.

"Then I'll take it myself!" the extraterrestrial demon replied without any politeness.

Immediately, a half-illusory, half-solid hexagonal crystal appeared in its pupils.

Upon seeing it, Wu Wen immediately recognized it as a divine being!

Extraterrestrial demons cannot directly cross the Chaos Sea to enter the real world; they must rely on a divine spark.

"No wonder they were able to get here; they possess a divine status!"

The energy of the virtual realm is a wave-dynamic quantum field. Matter has no fixed form, follows the probability cloud rule, and energy is easily diffused, making it impossible to form a stable structure.

In the vast and boundless space of the virtual world, everything is fleeting, like a dream or a bubble, elusive and hard to grasp.

Energy in the real world is matter in particle form. Matter has a fixed structure, follows the laws of physics, and can provide an "anchor point" for divinity, allowing energy to condense into a controllable entity.

Every stone and every drop of water in the real world has a stable form and clear physical properties, which are the solid foundation for the formation of divinity.

The extraterrestrial demons of the illusory realm pursue material things in the real world so much because they want to "solidify" their own energy through material things in the real world!
This is the embodiment of the rules.

The physical laws contained in physical matter, such as atomic structure and electromagnetic force, can be "encoded" by the energy field of the Heavenly Demon, and eventually condensed into a carrier similar to a "crystal chip" to store all its power and memories.

Extraterrestrial demons roam the virtual world, attempting to break through the boundaries and enter the real world in order to obtain the opportunity to "solidify" their own energy, thereby gaining greater power and a more lasting existence.

Therefore, compared to material things, Wu Wen's Dao Fruit is what they want even more!

However, just as the other party was greedily coveting Wu Wen's Dao Fruit,
Wu Wen's eyes also fixed on the other party's divine nature.

The first time he saw a real god, it was exactly as he had predicted and analyzed.

Based on the atomic structure of heavy metals, the strong interaction force of their atomic nuclei can stabilize the energy field and prevent the collapse of divinity.

Just like a sturdy building that needs a solid foundation and a stable framework, heavy metal atoms are the cornerstone of this divine edifice, providing stable support for the entire structure.

The helical structure of biological genes, acting as an "energy conduction template," transforms energy into ordered pulses. This helical structure, like a series of mysterious channels, guides energy to flow according to specific rules, enabling the divine to function in an orderly manner.

The regular lattice of crystalline minerals stores information, much like a hard drive stores data. Those orderly lattices are like tiny information warehouses, properly storing all kinds of information needed for the operation of the divine entity.

What they need is also what I need!
At this moment, Wu Wen also set his sights on the divine spark of the extraterrestrial demon.

In other places, the situation might be different.

But this is his home turf!

Now that they're here, they're not going anywhere.
