Chapter 1373: 451. Virtual Reality


    “I just now tracked the jump signal tampered with by the Metal Ancestor Dragon and found that it ultimately pointed to a dark star field. That ce has almost no luminous celestial bodies…”


    Nnd Lee concealed the process of teleporting the Snow-winged Cat out of the Inner Cosmos and did not reveal any specific details.


    He mentioned:


    Upon briefly observing the situation within the dark star field, he preliminarily determined that the area was a secret scientific research base belonging to the Metal Creation Group, housing several space stations with scientific research functions.


    As for the synthetic biological experiments being conducted inside the space stations, Nnd Lee glossed over them.


    What Nnd Lee didn’t expect was that the Command ne’s Core was particrly interested in the “synthetic biological experiments” he mentioned.


    ...


    Command asked Nnd Lee many detailed questions.


    For instance, which small animals the Metal Creation Group had selected as experimental subjects.


    Again for instance, to which ss, order, family, genus, and species these small animals belonged.


    Nnd Lee, being ayman, found these questions to be utterly baffling; after all, just as he said, he wasn’t a professional.


    To better respond to Command’s questions, Nnd Lee simply activated the Magic Illusion he had set up in the small animals’ warehouse.


    This Magic Illusion took the form of the Snow-winged Cat, designed specifically to confuse the synthetic humans who were research personnel.


    Nnd Lee cast a Mental Magic spell at the illusion to gain Magic Vision and then shared this Magic Vision with Command.


    The specific operation method was notplicated; one only needed to aim at the game interface in one’s mind and cast “Mind Infusion”.


    Thus, the game interface, which previously disyed only text information, now featured a t video window.


    Through this window, the Command ne’s Core could personally observe the scene within the warehouse.


    Nnd Lee released the control over the Magic Vision direction, allowing Command to adjust the viewing angle itself.


    Thanks to the unique nature of the ne Core, Command’s observation speed was incredibly fast.


    The video footage on the game interface, like a slideshow at 100 times the speed, flicked through continuously and swiftly changing perspectives.


    Command painstakingly looked over every small animal, not even missing the suture marks the synthetic human researchers had left on the animals’ bodies.


    This swift observational process went on for about 10 minutes.


    The video footage stopped flickering, and Command returned the control of the Magic Illusion.


    A line of text appeared on the interface.


    “I now know who the ne Core is behind the Metal Creation Group.”


    This sentence, spoken by Command, seemed somewhat abrupt, but Nnd Lee understood the implication.


    In simple terms:


    Dragons, whether giant dragons, small dragons, or dragon people, all have a ne Core as their creator.


    It is because the “Giant Dragon” ne Core had an influence on the objective world that our universe came to feature “dragons”.


    However, after a dragon is created, its master is not necessarily the “Giant Dragon” ne Core.


    Just like the transcendent-level wizards in the Inner Cosmos, if a life creature created by the Wizard ne Core has the ability to break free from the Wizard’s control and find another ne Core to rely on, then this creature is essentially leaving its “birth father” — the Wizard ne Core — and entering into the embrace of a “foster father”.


    The Scroll Angel once told Nnd Lee:


    ording to the self-rescue procedure pre-set by the Supreme Star Pce, after the Inner Cosmos is destroyed, the “Giant Dragon” ne Core will take on the role of the rebuilder, entering the Inner Cosmos first to try to repair all the basic infrastructure that supports the operation of the Star Pce.


    The White Ancestral Dragon, the Metal Ancestor Dragon, and other Ancestral Dragons are the vanguard under themand of the “Giant Dragon” ne Core.


    They entered the Inner Cosmos as scheduled and repaired the infrastructure, but halfway there, a divergence urred within the ranks of the giant dragons.


    The Metal Ancestor Dragon betrayed its own kin, rendering all previous efforts fruitless.


    This shows that the Metal Ancestor Dragon had already found a new backer, betraying the “Giant Dragon” ne Core and embracing another ne Core.


    So, who is this ne Core?


    Answer one, one of the ne Cores behind the many dark deities.


    Answer two, another.


    From the typing tone of Command ne’s Core, it would seem that its judgment is thetter.


    Nnd Lee typed to ask:


    “Which ne Core is behind the Metal Ancestor Dragon?”


    Command ne’s Core appeared to be contemting.


    After nearly half a minute, Nnd Lee finally saw a response.


    “It should be the ‘Virtual’ ne Core.”


    “Virtual…”


    Nnd Lee blinked, rummaging through his memories.


    He was certain that he had never heard of this ne Core from either of the two angels.


    Command ne’s Core exined:


    “The ‘Virtual’ ne Core has nurtured a group of life creatures that consider themselves ‘virtual beings.’ These beings are active in movies, animation, games, and novels.


    “For you and all other physical life creatures, things like movies, animation, games, and novels can only be read by you; they cannot read you.


    “But in the eyes of ‘virtual beings,’ the various reading materials you engage with are the mediums through which they learn about your world.”


    “Hm…I think I’m beginning to understand. Could you give me an example?” Nnd Lee pondered and asked.


    Command then typed a few more lines:


    “Think about the books in your Dean’s office. Suppose you open a book and read the characters that tell the story of a ‘little girl picking strawberries.’ You’d think it’s just a simple little tale. But what if I told you that the ‘little girl’ and the ‘strawberries’ are virtual life forms? They awaken to your attention when you read about them, quickly take a nce at your surroundings, and then return to slumber once your attention has drifted away from them.”
