I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 7 A Fleeting Moment
We saw off Li Bansian.

Chen Jing looked up at the sky.

A rough calculation shows that it took almost half a day to enter the Realm of No Form.

The dimensional pod is not a hibernation pod. Mortal bodies need to eat, drink, excrete, and even sleep to recover their energy.

【quit!】

Chen Jing clicked on the sword-shaped pattern on the back of his hand and silently said "Exit".

As consciousness gradually detaches from the body, the virtual character Zhu Kui will be managed by AI.

At the same time, in an unknown small mountain in the Yuan Realm, a green-covered, wordless book floated in the void, its pages suddenly turning on their own without any wind, flipping through at an extremely fast speed.

No one knew which page the blank book was turned to, but Chen Jing's figure leaped out of the book.

Upon returning to the primordial realm, the first thing he did was to demand an explanation, berating the void: "God, didn't you set up an anti-addiction system? I've been in the virtual reality world for over six hours, and you didn't even remind me to keep track of the time."

The main god's small ball of light flew out from the shadow of the thousand-year-old peach tree, popping up a semi-transparent light screen that played a replay of the scene from the Boundless Realm.

The time scale jumps one second at a normal speed, but the video plays at twice the speed.

The God of War spoke in a detached voice: "According to the data we have observed, there is a time flow difference between reality and the Spirit Realm, with a time ratio of 1:2. The time it took for the contractor to enter the virtual world was 03:32:01, which does not meet the conditions for the anti-addiction warning."

Chen Jing was startled and asked incredulously, "How did you do that? If this technology could be widely adopted, wouldn't that be equivalent to extending lifespan?"

Extending the mental lifespan of ordinary people is of little use, but do double the grind in gaming? Does it mean starting a 36-hour workday?
However, if top scientists double their mental lifespan, they may accumulate knowledge and experience and develop technologies that could once again change the world order.

If a company were to establish itself using this technology as its core, it could grow into a behemoth comparable to Tianyuan Group in no time.

The divine aura flickered: "The principle is unknown. Like the information related to the Spirit Realm, no relevant information was found."

"But the outward manifestations are: speeding up the operation of everything in the virtual world, and the mental activity of the contractors also doubles after entering the Formless Realm. The former is not difficult to achieve with existing technology, while the latter can almost be classified as a supernatural phenomenon."

Chen Jing: "..."

The Spirit Realm, could it be something created by a group of mad cultivators combining virtual reality technology?

For some reason, Chen Jing's first suspect was a cultivator who shared the same hobby as his second great-uncle.

Knowing that only three and a half hours had passed in real time, Chen Jing was not in a hurry to leave the Yuan Realm.

He continued, "Can I borrow the public computing power corresponding to the Xiaotuanshan territory for now?"

The main god then popped up a semi-transparent light screen, displaying the Xiaotuanshan public computing power data in the form of a graphical table, with 60% in red and 40% in green.

The reply stated: "Before inheriting the Xiaotuanshan territory, the contractor has the right to use the available computing power of the territory. However, 6% of the computing power has already been put into use, and only the public computing power corresponding to 1 hectare of territory can be called upon."

The computing power corresponding to 1 hectare of territory is the theoretical minimum computing power required to develop a virtual reality game. It is insufficient to create a virtual reality world, but it is more than enough for personal consumption.

Having obtained the answer he sought, Chen Jing brought up the control panel of the Metaverse pod and severed the link between his consciousness and the Metaverse: [Exit!]

In an instant, the scene of illusion and reality intersected, the dreamlike chaotic colors twisted into a vortex, and the blurred reality reappeared before one's eyes.

With a soft 'click', the door of the dimensional pod opened, and consciousness was completely pulled back to the real world.

"I'm back!" Chen Jing pushed open the hatch and stepped out of the dimensional pod.

Even though I know it's just virtual reality, I still feel a sense of disorientation, as if I'm in another world.

The room lights were a bit glaring, and the city of Lucheng outside the window was brightly lit, but it was already completely dark outside!

For modern people who are used to nightlife, this time is still very early. Chen Jing is feeling tired and hungry and has no intention of staying up all night to keep going.

"Goo!"

I heard my stomach making a drumming sound.

Chen Jingcai realized that he had only eaten breakfast all day.

I found a sausage and two eggs in the refrigerator, made a simple fried rice with the leftovers, wolfed it down, and then washed up and went to bed.

I spent seven hours in the Realm of No Form, while only three and a half hours had passed in reality. However, my consciousness had personally experienced those seven hours. My mind was in a highly active state, which was fine. As soon as I returned to reality, I was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as I got into bed. There was no phenomenon of being too excited to sleep.

"........."

The next day, early morning.

Chen Jing slept until he naturally woke up, feeling refreshed and in good spirits.

After grabbing breakfast at a street stall in the old town and ordering enough pre-made food for several days online, I returned to the front of the Metaverse Cabin.

[Beep! Identity verification successful, Metaverse Pod initiation...]

When Chen Jing activated the Metaverse Pod, the first time he needed to complete the identity binding and establish a unique Metaverse account, the process was extremely cumbersome.

The second activation of the Metaverse Pod was incredibly efficient. As soon as I lay down in the Metaverse Pod, the surrounding real-world scene began to blur, and the next moment my consciousness successfully descended into the Metaverse.

The main god's little orb of light didn't need to be summoned; it appeared on its own: "Contractor, welcome back to the Metaverse!"

The scenery of Xiaotuanshan remains unchanged, with withered leaves and broken branches scattered all over the mountain. Only a thousand-year-old peach tree is full of vitality, and under its shade, a green-covered, wordless book floats in mid-air.

Simply by traveling to the Formless Realm through the coordinates of this spiritual realm, one's spiritual lifespan can be doubled. However, Chen Jing glanced at it and then looked away. Without mastering the physiognomy technique taught by Li Banxian, descending to the Formless Realm was meaningless.

"God, I need to access the available computing power of Xiaotuanshan."

The Supreme God lowered a beam of golden light, enveloping the ancient peach tree: "This peach tree is the embodiment of the computing power of Xiaotuanshan. The contractor only needs to touch any part of the peach tree to successfully utilize the remaining computing power. The intelligent spirit will fully assist the contractor in achieving this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jing walked to the thousand-year-old peach tree and pinched a jade-green peach leaf: "I want to use this peach leaf as a mustard seed to open up a space as a secluded cultivation room."

Given sufficient computing power, every human entering the Metaverse is a creator whose words become law.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient peach tree withered slightly. Boundless vitality flowed into the peach leaf that Chen Jing was holding, turning its surface into a dazzling gold color and creating a virtual space inside in an instant.

【Enter!】

The next moment, a black vortex emerged from the golden peach leaf, swallowing Chen Jing into the peach leaf space.

Chen Jing found himself in a blank virtual space. He snapped his fingers, summoning the main god's small orb of light, and commanded, "Too quiet! I need background noise that will be completely ignored in this space. Too empty! I need a clean and simple environment that won't attract attention."
