Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 258 The Heavenly Realm Opens!

During the server downtime for maintenance, Shi Qian was constantly researching how to add "features" to his physical space.

However, they haven't figured out anything yet; they've only scratched the surface and haven't been able to implement it on a large scale.

Fortunately, since it's my own personal space, I can delete and rewrite any added features I'm not satisfied with.

When he felt a wave sweeping across the world from below, Shi Qian finally snapped out of his immersive writing.

"How long have I been working on this thing?"

Looking at the slightly shimmering [Pseudo-Eye of the Heavenly Realm] in his hand, he could hardly believe it. He had actually created this thing; now it was just a matter of whether it would be usable.

[I don't know, let's just pretend I took a nap]

[It seems like when you do that, all we're left with is instinct.]

[This is real account theft! Who steals their clone's account every day?]

[We'll find out more once Ranxiao logs in and we ask him how long he's been updating.]

"alright."

Time shifts perspective to see if the creatures in the main world have become active again.

The items he had thrown earlier have landed again. If the animals move, he can continue testing what exactly needs to open the portal.

As expected, those creatures that had become translucent and were now just anchor points have all been restored.

Less than two minutes later, Ran Xiao's message popped up.

[Boss—I'm back! What's the world like when you update?]

The official announcement says this update adds more items that can help us craft items, as well as some terrain descriptions. I'll compile them and send them over later.

[The authorities have finally come alive and started doing something decent; it's been a long time coming!]

Upon seeing Ran Xiao's words, Shi Qian's eyes lit up.

The things that help with synthesis, are they somehow giving him a legitimate cheat code?

[What are you being so narcissistic about!]

[Is it really not allowed to use another account...?]

[Let's check if the system is back online. It's been too long since we've seen Xiao Sha.]

The first clone went to reply to Ran Xiao, and Shi Qian opened the system panel after returning.

The grayed-out store has lit up again, and all functions are working normally.

He quickly found out what items the official store had updated.

A thing called a synthesizer.

When Shi Qian clicked in, he found that the store had been updated and was no longer just an interface where he could buy items.

Clicking on an item will also display its crafting recipe.

He sent the synthesizer formula directly to Ranxiao.

Iron ingots, iron ingots, iron ingots

Iron ingots, workbench, iron ingots

Redstone dust, dispenser, redstone dust

Try this recipe; it should be able to help you make something newer.

[Holy crap! You even have something like that, boss! That's so cool!]

Then Ranxiao sent a string of compliments, which immediately cheered Shi Qian up.

After chatting with Ran Xiao for a while longer, I turned my attention back to her.

He was still unsure about the teleportation portal to the Heavenly Realm.

He said he only added an effect to this [Pseudo-Eye of the Heavens] that would make it float in the air after being thrown.

There was no detection of portal and frame features.

Sure enough, after being thrown, the object, which was pieced together using his own physical space, was not attracted by the portal and floated there.

Even after picking it up, it wouldn't fit into the frame.

With a soft sigh, Shi Qian had already known this outcome, so he wasn't really hoping it would actually work out.

He is aware of his own abilities.

However, he tried all the blue things, but the portal showed no signs of opening.

[How about we try the updated synthesizer? We can't synthesize it ourselves, so let the machine synthesize it for us.]

Shi Qian naturally agreed with the decision.

After quickly studying how the synthesizer works and figuring out how to use it, I took out the funnel and started building blocks.

I aimed the launcher at the portal frame and tested whether the synthesized item could actually be placed on the frame.

For the portal to the Heavenly Realm, Shi Qian's crafting recipe still involves Ender Pearls.

Throw an Ender Pearl into a hopper and then add some random blue stuff to see if you can synthesize it.

When I tried lapis lazuli, the synthesizer lit up briefly, but no icon appeared in the output window.

"hiss..."

"A flash means there's a connection, and we're on the right track."

But the key point is, he doesn't have anything related to lapis lazuli...

He had already tried the blue dye, but he couldn't dye the ender pearl blue.

"What is related to lapis lazuli...?"

Is it going to be like the crafting recipe for the Eye of Ender, where you turn a Blaze Rod into powder?

I have some lapis lazuli fragments here... but it seems I can't deliver them to you.

[There should be a way to synthesize ore fragments, right? Try it yourself first, and if it doesn't work, ask Ranxiao.]

"No need to ask anymore, we've figured it out."

Two lapis lazuli stones can be combined to make four lapis lazuli fragments.

However, when it comes to crushing ore, the term "decomposition" is clearly more appropriate.

A return device was built in front of the launcher, and the lapis lazuli ore was put back into the synthesizer. This time, an ender pearl was added, and a blue pearl phantom appeared in the output window.

[It's done!]

[Oh! What is this...? It looks familiar.]

[This pearl looks a lot like that pearl from Plants vs. Zombies, but I forgot what it is.]

[Can't remember]

Shi Qian didn't care what this thing looked like; all he knew was that he finally had a way to open the portal to the Heavenly Realm.

He could also hold the synthesized [Eye of the Heavens] in his hand; it was clearly the key to passing the level.

So that I won't have to build this device again for the sake of my eyes in the future.

Shi Qian directly synthesized "100 million groups" and stored them in his backpack.

Although this thing currently seems to only be used to open portals, it might have other uses in the future.

After dismantling the device, Shi Qian stood in front of the Heavenly Domain Teleportation Gate and began to place the eyes on each frame one by one.

But just before the last eye was about to be placed, the voice of the mortal mute rang out.

"Are you sure?"

Shi Qian's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he asked in confusion:

"What do you mean?"

"If you open the portal, there might be more creatures here... in the main world."

Shi Qian was a little confused by the answer, but he still had to enter the Heavenly Domain, otherwise all his efforts along the way would have been in vain.

How significant will the impact be?

"I don't know, it's something that's unpredictable and invisible to me."

Are there many kinds of organisms?

Lian'e did not answer.

After hesitating for two seconds, Shi Qian placed the last eye inside amidst the raging wind.

Dark clouds and lightning arrived as expected.

The eyes on the portal frame twitched simultaneously, but quieted down after the lightning struck.

Unlike the End Portal, the portal itself is not an empty void.

Instead, it's a grayish blue, which matches the color of the frame perfectly.

Time shifts, and one steps into the portal.
