"Come……"
The voice of "God" fell silent in the neighborhood and never rang out again.
It seems that the "god" in the sealed state cannot continue this kind of remote communication indefinitely, so he only said what he thought was the key information... well, what he thought was the key information.
For "God," sending him to the initial partition was the most crucial thing, which is why he kept talking about it.
Fan Xiao wanted to know more about the details of S-class items, such as their functions... It can only be said that the two were not on the same wavelength.
One is yearning.
Another one... an old liar.
Fan Xiao raised his hand and slightly adjusted the monocle over his right eye.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen's flattery earlier hit the nail on the head—this new S-rank item really was created for him by "God"!
No, I just asked casually, and you actually gave it to me... Fan Xiao felt a strange sense of emotion.
Why do they seem so easy to fool?
Oh no, it's not that they're easy to fool, but rather that they've placed a bet on him, so they'll give him extra care.
Of course, Fan Xiao did not forget Dr. Zhuang's warning that "God is not to be trusted".
Once he has more information, he will be able to make his own judgments.
"Xiao Zhuang, see? Even the gods are doing exclusive customization of S-level items. How could your little conditions possibly impress me?"
Fan Xiao silently complained to himself.
At this moment, he and Youbai were sitting in the middle section of the first luxury carriage of the train—this carriage was reserved for VIPs.
Fan Xiao naturally had ways to obtain VIP status.
He used to always pretend to be a cannibalistic player, but now he wants to play a noble person with status.
As for why we need to take a car... since it's a trip, let's just travel properly.
If you keep using the phrase "time flies" to travel, the journey would be rather cold and boring.
About half an hour later, the train announcement came on again: "This train has completely departed from node E01. The next station is D05, which will arrive in one hour."
Broadcasting in the middle of the node track... This was the first time Fan Xiao had ever encountered such a thing.
He looked around and saw that the other people in the VIP carriage did not show any surprise; on the contrary, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere inside the carriage noticeably relaxed from its tense state, and many people started talking, no longer muffling or suppressing their voices, returning to normal volume.
Fan Xiao was rather curious about this phenomenon.
He asked Youbai, "Ding Xiaobai, what just happened?"
"...Boss, I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either. When I came to the G08 node with Miss, it was my first time traveling so far from home."
Youbai was too exhausted to care about or complain about Fan Xiao's way of addressing her, and replied normally: "However, I have heard that the spacetime node with the letter E is the most dangerous area in the entire Evolution game, and also the area with the most dungeons. This spacetime convergence point is also known as the 'Sea of Ghosts'."
At this moment, Fan Xiao's monocle under his right eye started to move restlessly, as if he couldn't wait to show off.
But someone is faster than it!
"Aren't you a player from node E01, sir?"
A female attendant standing nearby walked over and approached Fan Xiao, explaining, "Every train that departs from E01 station will make an announcement after it has completely left the E01 node."
"Even an S-rank instance cannot extend its influence to another spacetime convergence point."
"So leaving the E01 node means completely getting rid of the hidden dangers brought by the various replicas within the node."
"Everyone breathed a sigh of relief..."
It truly lives up to its reputation as a VIP carriage.
He was just wondering about it for a moment when someone came over to explain.
You get what you pay for; the service is excellent.
In a good mood, Fan Xiao gave the other party a generous tip and said, "Tell me about the 'Strange Sea'."
This question led the waitress to conclude that Fan Xiao came from a node that was even more backward than node E.
However, she harbored no contempt or disdain. After a slight smile, she continued, "Sir, you probably don't know the general structure of the Evolution Game yet. The definition of the Mysterious Sea is difficult to explain in a single explanation. Please be patient and let me explain slowly..."
The waitress began to explain the structural divisions of the evolution game.
Xiao Zhen didn't become restless again because of her job... or rather, because her "meaning of existence" wasn't taken away—she probably sensed that Fan Xiao only wanted her to be a simple decoration for the time being.
As the waitress narrated, the full picture of the evolution game began to emerge in Fan Xiao's mind.
The evolution game has an absolute center—node A01 and partition 001.
That is, the initial partition.
The initial partition exists independently of the letter A node.
Moreover, its "absolute center" is a conceptual definition, not a simple location center... or rather, location center is only one of the effects brought about by this conceptual definition.
Centered on the initial partition, the evolution game can be roughly divided into eight grand spatial and temporal regions: the Eastern Region, the Western Region, the Southern Region, the Northern Region, the Northeastern Region, the Northwestern Region, the Southeastern Region, and the Southwestern Region.
Among them, the A-letter node is located in the Western Regions, which is the strongest of the eight major directional domains. A large number of nobles related to game companies, as well as many super players, live there... It is said that it is also the place where exploitation is most severe.
As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The strongest oppression also means the strongest resistance. Many super strong people have been born from the A-letter node. Chaos, absolute justice, and the destruction of nations all originated from there.
I've also heard that it's a place of extreme luxury and indulgence, the home of various ancient noble families, and because it has existed for so long, it's filled with countless forms of decadence and corruption.
The B-letter node is located in the Northern Region, which is the most expansive spatiotemporal convergence point and also the most populous convergence point—it possesses the most advanced science and technology in the entire evolution game, and its level of civilization development is beyond imagination.
Within the B convergence point, there are a total of 99 nodes, nearly 100,000 partitioned worlds, all of which have achieved great connectivity in spacetime through the most advanced technological means. Each partition has developed to at least the stage of planetary colonization civilization. Together, they have constructed a vast interstellar civilization.
The spatial connection devices controlled by game companies are basically all derived from the letter B node.
The C-letter node is located in the Eastern Region, which is known as the "Replica Cluster Land".
Simply put, within this letter node, there are countless Xianxia-themed dungeons, operating with similar dungeon rules. These dungeon rules radiate outwards, interconnecting and intersecting with each other, covering almost half of the letter node and transforming the covered area into a vast Xianxia world where most people can directly cultivate.
Although there are many replicas outside the "cluster" and a large number of ordinary partitions that cannot be cultivated, this does not affect the main theme of the C-letter node.
The players, within the C-letter node, do not hold an exceptionally high status or position.
Because the power system there is unified and complete under the influence of the dungeon rules, there are too many cultivators who possess extraordinary power, and their strength is not weak. Non-super players basically cannot act arrogantly.
Moreover, the way they run dungeons, as well as how those dungeons operate and how they are created, are quite different from other nodes.
The D-letter node is located in the southern region, where a large number of mythical beast species are concentrated, making it a paradise for demi-human players.
A, B, C, and D – these four letter nodes are the so-called "preceding nodes".
D, being the most recently created, lags slightly behind the other three in terms of strength and development.
The E-letter node is located in the southeast region, and this area... is now almost completely abandoned by game companies.
This place has given rise to too many dangerous and bizarre high-level dungeons, and has produced too many dungeon bosses with unbelievably strong abilities.
Like the "King in Yellow" of node E02, there are at least a dozen nodes of the same level as it, all of which are E-letter nodes.
Rumor has it that even more powerful forces are lurking in the shadows...
In short, the E-letter node is undoubtedly the most dangerous area in the evolution game!
Various bizarre and dangerous instances occupy this place, threatening all the partitioned worlds within the node.
This area is also known as the "Sea of Ghosts" by other letter nodes—meaning an ocean filled with all sorts of bizarre and dangerous copies.
Even when the time-traveling train travels through the mysterious sea, it often encounters various dungeon crises, making life unbearable for the players and residents living here.
What? You're asking them why they don't move to other letter nodes... This question is like asking a poor person why they don't move to a first-tier city where there are better social welfare benefits... Hmm, it has a bit of a "let them eat cake" vibe.
The factors involved in relocating nodes are probably a thousand times more complex than those involved in relocating cities.
In addition, there are countless other crises looming in the shadows... Those who were able to leave have already left. Those who remain are either unable to leave, want to stay and remain the mountain kings, or want to change their hometowns... There are many reasons, too numerous to mention.
The remaining F, G, and H letter nodes are located in the northeast, southwest, and northwest regions respectively. They are currently all lagging behind and have not yet developed their own unique characteristics.
Even the props within the nodes are all kinds of things, with various backgrounds, and there is no relatively standard or unified main theme.
The H-letter nodes are said to be in a primitive, undeveloped stage. Not only have few nodes and partitions been created, but not even a single A-level player has been created yet...
Upon hearing this, some thoughts came to Fan Xiao's mind.
"In the future, the G-letter node... abbreviated as G point, will probably be led by the G08 node... abbreviated as G8 node, and develop into the Star Realm of Gods guided by the Whale Fall Heavenly Court."
The reason for calling it the Astral Realm is simple—he felt it was a fitting name.
The arena controlled by the gods of the Fallen Heaven will rise into the starry sky at night, becoming one of the stars that illuminate the human world... Calling it the Star Realm of the Gods has quite an atmosphere.
With the waiter's diligent explanation, Fan Xiao quickly gained a general understanding of the structure of the evolution game.
Finally, he ordered two drinks, ending the conversation.
After the waiter left, Fan Xiao's monocle on his right eye moved: "Master, can Xiao Zhen speak now?"
"Go ahead."
Fan Xiao glanced at You Bai.
Young Bai, sensing the elegant meaning behind the music, quickly activated the soundproof barrier.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhen immediately said, "Master! That woman was really unprofessional! She had a lot of information, but she didn't get to the point!"
"For example, a game company might want to create an evolutionary game structure that is not just a single plane. Once the letter nodes in the eight plane directions have established their own basic characteristics, the game company will expand the upper and lower directions to create an evolutionary game with a 'three-dimensional, intersecting, parallel spacetime' structure."
"Once this cross structure is successful, the evolution game will likely expand outwards in a perfect 'circle' shape..."
Xiao Zhen provided Fan Xiao with a lot of additional information.
This also made Fan Xiao realize for the first time that the Evolution Game has always been in a stage of development and expansion, and has never stopped.
In addition, Xiao Zhen also recounted some confidential information and some past history.
For example, the reason why the E-letter node became a mysterious sea seems to be related to "gods". Some people speculate that this is one of the phenomena of conflict between "gods" and game companies.
For example, the vast number of mythical beast species in the D-letter node actually mostly migrated from the A-letter node.
In the earliest evolution games, human players were extremely rare—the talent system hadn't been developed yet, and only those who naturally awakened psionic abilities during the evolutionary stage could become human players.
Therefore, the earliest A-letter nodes were actually dominated by demi-human and cannibalistic players.
Later, the demi-human players, leveraging their inherited advantages, crushed the cannibal players and became the node overlords.
Later, the evolution game, by sucking the blood of both demi-human and cannibalistic players, created a talent system. From then on, human players officially rose to power, replacing demi-human players as the new overlords.
During this period, there were naturally many battles fought over identities and positions.
The demi-human players were defeated in the war, and from then on, the A-letter node entered the "era of great discrimination"—it's normal for such a trend to exist right after a war.
The noble human players discriminate against the demi-human and cannibalistic players.
Just then, the game company began planning to launch the D-letter node.
Upon hearing this news, most of the powerful demi-human player beast clans in the A-letter node chose to relocate their entire clan to the new letter node and occupy an entire letter node to develop their power.
The most powerful mythical beast family is named "Fifth".
Therefore, this family occupied node D05 as their base for development.
Thus, node D05 became the dominant node among the D-letter nodes, and even the "Space-Time Convergence Station" was built on node D05 and named D05 Station.
Node D01, ironically, became a backwater, neglected and unloved. Over time, this led to the emergence of Jiang Er Lister, a super-man-eating player.
“Node D05…isn’t this the node we’re about to go to?”
Fan Xiao was quite surprised.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What stage has the D05 node reached in its development?"
“Master, a long, long time ago, this node purchased various large-scale spacetime devices from the B-letter node, connecting the various partitions within the node and establishing a sophisticated transportation system with partition 001 as the transportation hub.”
Xiao Zhen replied, "As for the current development status, Xiao Zhen is unaware of it."
It guided players to the backward node a long time ago.
Regarding node D05... the information it currently possesses is somewhat outdated.
Fan Xiao asked, "Is it true... that A-level players are everywhere, S-level players are as rare as dogs, and only super-level players can stand a chance?"
“…Master, it’s not that bad, it’s not that bad.”
Xiao Zhen replied, "That's the phenomenon in the initial partitioning."
