Feeling the vitality exuding from every strand of Qi-Blood within his body, he felt as if he were a withered tree encountering spring, radiating life from inside out.
After a long ti, Ji Chen opened his eyes.
The excitent in his heart was suppressed, and a smile appeared on his face:
"This ga... truly exceeded my expectations, it seems my remaining life will be very interesting."
Following the slow-moving crowd forward, he tried to evade, but the crowd still squeezed him.
Scanning his sight, apart from the Human Clan players, he could also see figures of players from many different races.
At this mont, an Alien Race player squeezed together with him looked at him:
"Bro, what's your initial Life Soul?"
Facing the inquiry, Ji Chen smiled and replied:
"Eagle-Headed Demon."
"What a pity, I was thinking of teaming up with you, the Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul is indeed strong, but its combat power at the start is too low. Surely, we need to fight for monsters when we get out, and teaming up with you wouldn't be efficient for kills."
As he spoke, the Alien Race player triumphantly waved his hand and conjured a golden Burning Battleaxe:
"I started with a Power Barbarian Axe, used for fast leveling early on, and later, transition to Damage-taking Stream, that's the strongest start choice."
Ji Chen smiled and nodded, not arguing.
He knew very little about the ga, and really didn't know which initial Life Soul was the strongest.
Unlike other players who researched a lot before entering the ga to compare which Life Soul was the True God of this version, he cared more about the experience rather than which play style was stronger.
Before entering the ga, his understanding of the Monster World was limited to the various monster data in the Monster Encyclopedia.
But obviously, this monster data was of no use.
After all, what's open this ti is the newest scenario, a new area that even veteran players haven't explored yet.
He planned to try out the release of abilities once he was out of the scenario to understand what it felt like.
Although the ga claid to have perfect physical realism simulation, even with the scene's realism taken to the extre, skills in the ga were ultimately artificially created falsehoods.
There's a fundantal difference with real Extraordinary Power, and this disparity clearly can't be bridged in the ga.
Integrating falsehood into reality surely results in awkwardness in various places.
But the ga being this real already exceeded his expectations.
Finally, following the crowded people, he reached the exit of the scenario, then passed through an invisible barrier with the crowd, and suddenly his body was enveloped in white light.
When his sight cleared, the scene before him stunned Ji Chen.
Staying in a pure white space scene devoid of anything except new players, he could still find the feeling of the Virtual World.
But when leaving the space scene, the picture he saw had no flaws.
At the end of his sight on the Sky Do, three dim small suns hung in the air in a triangle, their diffuse light not glaring, as if softened by so invisible filter, casting a warm glow, making the scene look like twilight.
At this mont, Ji Chen squatted down and reached out to touch the ground.
The tactile sensation at his fingertips made his heart tremble.
Picking up a piece of gravel, the rough surface of the sandstone, every grain of sand's edge was clearly discernible, his thumb could feel the rock's slight temperature difference under the sunlight, even microscopic weathering patterns were visible upon close inspection.
Grabbing a handful of sand, the trajectory and weight sensation of particles sliding through his fingers, even the form of dust dispersing in the air, mirrored reality exactly.
The only difference was that Monster World's scene gravity seed slightly different from Earth's.
Yet with a body reconstructed by data, perhaps there was a bias in perception.
After all, after a change in Body Strength, the perceived gravity would also change.
He stood up and gazed at the Horizon.
His pupils slightly trembled at this mont.
The reality of this world had already surpassed his known range of simulation.
He couldn't imagine what kind of technology could create such realistic physical laws.
At over two hundred years old, he didn't expect to be so shocked upon returning to Earth.
The virtually constructed scene unexpectedly had a more intense sensory impact than reality.
Feeling the temperature of the light from the three suns on the back of his hand, Ji Chen was dumbfounded.
"Old man, step aside, there's no respecting the old and cherishing the young in the ga, block the door and I'll hit you."
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Ji Chen decisively stepped aside, seeing an Alien Race player three ters tall carrying a dirt-yellow Shield walk past him, then turned his head to glare at him.
Ji Chen did not respond to the provocation.
His heart was still in shock.
The more he understood, the more he felt that the technical caliber needed to create such realistic scenes, even the terrifying resource consumption.
Even the omnipotent Dragon Descendant in his eyes couldn't possibly achieve this.
What he found more unbelievable was the air here.
A gentle breeze blew by, delivering scents he had never experienced before.
It seed like the mineral scent of heated rocks, mixed with a plant freshness akin to mint, and an indefinable slight burning sensation.
The main point was the Spiritual Energy content in the air.
Even the otherworld he struggled for 200 years was far less than this.
It couldn't even be considered on the sa Level.
The Spiritual Energy content here was hundreds, perhaps thousands of tis stronger than the otherworld.
Ji Chen unconsciously inhaled deeply again.
Suddenly his lungs felt like they were infused with a clear spring water.
Each subsequent breath brought him satisfaction, nearly tangible spiritual particles poured in through his trachea, transforming into warm streams in his chest cavity, and the fatigue from adapting to Earth's environnt for days was completely swept away.
Ji Chen closed his eyes again, in his mind, the laughter of Dragon Descendant echoed:
"Chen, you haven't experienced the charm of the Big World, so you're destined not to understand a world that can nurture a Strong Clan, where every breath brings optimization to your Life tier... Don't doubt, the energy you gain from cultivation here might not match a normal breath in the Big World, the only difference is that normal breathing can't utilize the energy, only passively evolve, while you have already learned how to utilize the energy through the Cultivation thods I taught."
Reflecting now, Ji Chen finally understood the implication behind Dragon Descendant's words.
He also understood why Dragon Descendant would use "swallowing and exhaling the essence of the world" to describe cultivation, just like now, each breath was about drawing the purest Life Energy from the air.
Feeling the flow of spiritual energy brought by the breeze across his skin.
The invisible energy brushed over his brow bone, the bridge of his nose, and finally rged with his breaths, flowing into his body, echoing and dispersing inside.
This feeling made Ji Chen intoxicated by it.
Initially entering the ga just with a mindset of experiencing, this ga brought him so much shock and surprise.
He realized that his remaining life might beco very interesting.
