Chapter 1718: Chapter 436: The Blurring Between Virtual and Reality_3

Not only can it simulate a vast Super World, but it can also construct a complete content set that can map onto reality in terms of physical expression, energy operation, and even the underlying logic of life forms.

The Body Refining Method is deemed inefficient and useless on the Player Forum because Monster World itself is filled with more efficient energy.

Players have the Star Vein System, and a series of better enhancement options, naturally looking down on this clumsy way of squeezing their own potential.

But the real world is different.

The environment here is called the Mire World by many races in Monster World, with exhausted Spiritual Energy and hidden rules.

This method regarded as useless in the game does not rely on external high-energy environments, only needs to develop physical potential through diet.

In the real world, this can even be called: Divine-level Method.

Not only does a stone meant to be sacrificed hide a grand civilization epic, but even the cultivation techniques practiced within can also be applied in reality.

He cannot imagine how much computational power must be expended for such a hidden detail.

This can’t be explained merely as "rich in detail."

Since it’s a Virtual World, a lot of content can actually be concealed through ambiguity.

If a Virtual World does not have any issues with detail, then what defines the standards between virtual and reality?

If it’s the distinction on physical expression, then the falling apple in Monster World follows the influence of gravity, the flow of water moistens the soil, there’s a perfect weather system... Monster World’s physical expression is not only complete but even more idealistic, containing many climatic scenarios that do not exist in reality.

If the distinction lies in the realism of the environment.

After players enhance their bodies through the Star Vein System, their vision can capture the trajectory of dust in the wind, hearing can discern the rhythm of insect wings hundreds of meters away, touch can perceive the texture of Metal... Especially those players who have embedded the "Eagle-Headed Demon" Life Soul have experienced the complete micro-world universe in Monster World.

Many microscopic life forms and substances invisible to the naked eye can be clearly seen through the perception of the Eagle-Headed Demon.

Before Monster World, no game existed on a microscopic level; anything magnified to the extreme was simply pixel blocks.

When the physical rules of a Virtual World are coherent enough to deduce cultivation techniques that can be validated in reality and environmental details are rich enough to support sensory experiences surpassing reality.

Why is it still considered a Virtual World?

Just because of the existence of Game Pods?

The impression Xie Yu gets is that if he abandons the setting of Game Pods, players are more like jumping from one world to another more real world.

The Star Network has poured resources into what isn’t merely a game but essentially a new world.

Perhaps the Star Network has been preparing for this day for a long time.

The goal is as he guessed before, to craft a civilization Ark carrying consciousness for the life creatures of the Earth Alliance.

If this hypothesis holds true.

The vast amounts of "useless" knowledge considered background and plot decoration by players in Monster World.

Their value, will be immeasurable.

But a new problem arises.

If the Star Network truly possesses so much technology that can map reality, even transform reality.

For instance, this Body Refining Method that efficiently develops human potential, or those seemingly Fairy Tales-like energy theories and environmental transformation technologies in the library.

Why doesn’t it directly use them to transform Earth’s environment?

Repair the polluted land and sky, making the real world suitable for survival again?

Why are these precious technologies stored in a Virtual World as game background or library data, left to gather dust?

This doesn’t seem to align with the logic of Star Network operating the Earth Alliance.

It’s certain that the Star Network wants the Earth Alliance’s races to develop better.

Every year, there are various support projects helping Earth’s races escape development predicaments, and offering many free equipment supplies.

The Game Pods used by many small races are provided free by the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Xie Yu fell into deep thought, trying to find a reasonable explanation.

Is there a possibility.

Directly handing these technologies to the Earth Alliance, which isn’t prepared, may result not in salvation but disaster.

Imagine if tomorrow the authorities suddenly released a "Divine Skill" allowing people to gain an athlete’s physique within three days, how would the social order react?

Would the sudden emergence of too many Extraordinary Ability users in a short time lead to a collapse in real-world order?

Therefore, whether Earth civilization’s social structure can safely wield these reality-altering powers is the reason Star Network seals the technology.

Monster World, perhaps, is a huge testing ground.

Risks are isolated in the virtual.

In the name of players, allowing the life creatures of the Earth Alliance to test technology in a virtual environment?

But upon careful consideration, this imagined explanation seems quite forced; there’s a feeling that things aren’t as simple as he thinks.

Whether societal order or the structure of the Earth Alliance, they are under the control of the Star Network.

The Star Network can totally utilize technology in reality; it has the ability to circumvent issues on any level.

This explanation is quite weak.

The night deepens, city lights gradually illuminate outside the window.

Xie Yu paces in the room.

As a member of the Research Party, his unfulfilled curiosity makes him very troubled.

The "testing ground" theory he deduced seems reasonable at first glance but is filled with loopholes upon deeper thinking.

Given the technological prowess the Star Network boasts, and its pervasive influence on the Earth Alliance, if it really wished to promote a certain technology, it could completely do so by incrementally implementing, supplemented with strict control while maintaining basic social stability.

For instance, the Body Refining Method could be used as a high-level contribution reward or special talent stipend.

Rather than burying it in an inconspicuous corner of the Virtual World.

What exactly is the real reason?

Xie Yu halted his steps, his gaze falling on the distant skyline outside the window.

He realized that with his own cognition, he probably would never touch the truth.

Such important information shouldn’t be borne by him alone.

After an inner struggle and weighing, Xie Yu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing a hint of determination.

Coming to the desk, he reached out to activate his personal terminal.

Planning to organize all his discoveries over these days.

From the Martial Arts Mini World data behind the Information Stone, to the astonishing effect of the Body Refining Method in reality, along with detailed cultivation records and body data changes from these days into a complete report.

Then send it to the Human Clan Federation’s highest security department.

Let professionals seek the truth far beyond his personal ability to grasp.
