High Above

The distant void is burning.

This is not an adjective, but a statement.

When Ian came to the virtual realm with all the goblins, his attention was immediately attracted by the red light shining in the distance.

To the southwest of the distant virtual realm, there was originally a shadow of a dark forest. The vast forests swayed one after another with the wind in the dim shadow, like the waves of an obscure sea.

Ian still remembers that when he looked to the southwest from the high mountain that the Void Realm Imperial Capital was transformed into, he could always hear a slight hum, which seemed to be the sound of the tide of leaves and the roar of some kind of wild beast.

But now, the forest is illuminated by its own burning light - a little red light shines in the dark shadow, and then dots of golden-red fire appear. These light spots and flames are densely connected together, like an endless flame. ocean.

The twisted heat wave shook the virtual realm, and the hot wind coming from the southwest seemed to have blown on everyone's faces.

"Have light on me!"

Ian couldn't help but take a breath. Terra's culture over the years has also had an impact on him. For example, when he was shocked, he said "Honor" instead of "Oh my God" - but this is not important. , because he saw the danger in the distance, and his expression changed: "What is this?"

"No, I don't know..."

Even the goblin was shocked. Mo Feng obviously didn't expect that the Dream Institute wanted to investigate by himself. This was such a 'situation'.

The purple ball swayed for a moment, as if blinking: "This is at least a spiritual disaster at the peak of the fourth energy level - do you still remember the virtual realm machine god we saw when we first met? If he encounters a stubborn The virtual garbage will show a similar form and be deleted!"

Hua An was also a little stunned, but she quickly recovered: "It's not a big problem, it's just the peak of the fourth energy level. Let's go over and take a look at the situation!"

——Do these goblins really have brains?

Ian turned his head in shock and looked at Hua An, who was in high spirits, and Mo Feng, who was about to set off.

I finally understand why in so many ballads and legends of Terra, although they repeatedly praise the charm and power of fairies, as well as their wisdom and selflessness, no one has ever planned to find a fairy teammate for themselves.

This goblin is really not afraid of death!

If you encounter big trouble, just jump out and start a group fight, right? jpg

"Wait a minute - Frost Butterfly, help pull it!"

Ian immediately used his fuse, and the cyan ball and the ice blue ball caught the other two balls that were about to fly: "Wait a minute and analyze the situation! Things may change!"

"Huh? Okay then..."

Ian's powerful observation ability is trusted by his acquaintances. If it were Ian, the goblins would still be willing to wait.

Gathering the goblins who almost ran away to have fun, Ian would have sweated all over his round face if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't sweat in the virtual world.

After calming down, Ian observed the southwest again.

The flames over there seemed to be dormant at the moment, and the dark red sparks in the darkness were burning slowly.

However, a few minutes later, the fire forest suddenly lit up - a bright golden light spread in all directions, like a volcano erupting, raising a golden ball of light.

This bright fire swept and expanded above the fire forest, and then turned into a rain of fire, igniting the sky and the earth.

All the goblins and Ian stopped in silence.

"...It seems that Ian is right."

Hua An said with some fear: "If we had rushed over just now, because of the characteristics of the virtual realm, we might have actually encountered the explosion of fire rain!"

The characteristic of the virtual realm is that going to a certain place is not really about "walking", but rather relying on the "desire" to go somewhere.

When you start to decide to go somewhere, your whole person begins to enter a state similar to reading a note, overlapping with the place you want to go.

If the virtual realm is safe and stable enough, then the entire virtual realm can carry out 'delay-free communication' - this is why the pre-era civilization regarded the virtual realm as the best database and research base. You must know that the concept of no delay It may not feel like much to the people on the planet, but for pre-epochal civilizations that are already considered interstellar civilizations, this is definitely a top priority.

But because of this, if the virtual realm is too dangerous, then moving in the virtual realm becomes a matter of luck... Either it takes the same speed as flying and walking in reality to get closer, or you try your luck and gamble. Nothing bad will happen to your destination.

If bad things happen, bad things will happen to anyone who is 'thinking' about going here.

Mo Feng's whole ball rippled, obviously frightened.

"Won't the machine god show up?"

Ian stared at the vision in the distance and asked Mo Feng: "If the machine god is really the virtual realm program left over from the civilization of the previous era...then it should respond, right?"

"possible."

But Mo Feng's answer was full of uncertainty: "The machine gods are man-made objects that have been completely corrupted by the chaotic virtual realm after the Skyfall disaster... They sometimes deal with some virtual reality phenomena, but most of the time they are very Rigidity means appearing according to a set sequence and triggering conditions.”

"For example, my observation target, 'The Final Deletor Guigantes', will only appear in areas with a population of more than 10 million to eliminate the negative impact of human activities on the virtual world. In general To put it simply, it is the procedure for dealing with household waste in the virtual realm.”

"Theoretically, its authority is extremely high, but it does not cause much harm... But even so, hundreds of years ago, there was another deleter who went on a rampage, trying to manifest from the virtual realm to reality, and was killed by the Ming Sect. The deeds of the group's crushing..."

According to Mo Feng, the machine gods inside the virtual realm are now rigid and unbelievable, and will only follow a few instructions and conditional responses.

For example, the Final Machine God will only appear in crowded places and only clean up domestic garbage. It will not care about other things, even if the entire virtual realm is burning - because of its program. There is no corresponding strategy written.

"It's too rigid, doesn't it have artificial intelligence?"

Ian complained, but he also knew that such a high-authority program with a deletion function would never be endowed with intelligence... Both the civilization of the previous era and the earth in his previous life were very cautious about this aspect.

Although it is not unnecessary, the restrictions will still be restricted.

"Do we have to go there?"

Although both Mo Feng and Hua An knew that the virtual realm was extremely terrifying, the two goblins did not give up yet. Instead, they discussed how to observe remotely and avoid the strange phenomena in the virtual realm.

Looking at the two spheres using various psychic chips to build an observation tool similar to a virtual telescope, Ian couldn't help but ask: "The situation is so dangerous, it shouldn't be a problem to give up, right?"

"how to say……"

Hua An and Mo Feng looked at each other. Mo Feng was the first to speak: "Although it is okay to give up... but we will not give up."

Hua An nodded: "Ian, after all, you are a human turned into a goblin, so you won't understand."

"Even if the Dream Academy has no mission and encounters anomalies that will cause changes in the virtual realm, all the fairies found will spontaneously collect data - because transforming the virtual realm and restoring the virtual realm to its original appearance is our fairy's mission."

"This is the mission of all fairies originating from Starfall City!"

Finally, they said in unison, firmly: "Because..."

"This is our Fairy Country!"
