Chapter 229: Why the Virtual World Was Created - Part Chapter 2
Feng Wu quietly listened to the heated discussion, but didnt participate.
Ink raised his hand excitedly, happy to join in. So, Teacher, then what happened? Didnt the strongest amongst us annihilate the progenitor so utterly, body and soul, he never dared come again?!
Tsch, thats silly. How could he come to the Human realm if his soul is destroyed? Inks comment got a rise out of many of the students.
You rascals. Do you think hes some minor character you can kill off so easily?! This is the demon progenitor, even if he was injured when he fled here, hes not someone ordinary humans can beat.
Lord Longze-Jiamer led the fight against the progenitor. Lord Longze was a demi-god, but he had a break-through during battle and became a god capable of flying to the Heavenly realm.
He used his divine powers and a space artifact to create the Void. Then before ascending to the Heavenly realm, he sealed the soul of the progenitor inside it.
The souls of many of those who fell in battle voluntarily entered the Void with the demon progenitor in order to guard against him. Essentially they are all immortal because they are in the Void.
Before Lord Longze ascended to the Heavenly realm, he handed the Void realm to the president of Xingguang Holy Academy, Master An Shengyaun.
The president felt it was a waste to use the Void realm only for holding the progenitor, so he used his magic to divide the Void into several continents, and separated the space where the progenitor was imprisoned from everything else.
The continents are used for students to experience. Humanitys strength has improved greatly over the centuries because of it.[notes] We were able to recover our strength from the loss we suffered from fighting the progenitor.
Even Master Longze couldnt destroy the progenitor? Xi[notes] asked.
Xi admired Longze-Jiamer the most, so she was disappointed her idol couldnt defeat the progenitor.
The progenitor attacking, that would have been a big deal. Star Marshall hall should have intervened. How come Teacher didnt say anything about them in the story just now? asked a perceptive student who had noticed a discrepancy in the story.
Who said Star Marshall hall didnt move? The hall suffered tremendous loss. Three of the four celestial seal successors[notes] perished in that battle.
The hall master was restricted from using his full powers in the Human realm, so he wasnt able to act against the progenitor when he attacked. This allowed the progenitor to massacre humans without restrictions.
Far too many humans were sacrificed in that battle. Countless high-level magicians and sword masters died. It was the most devastating battle for humanity, only second to the loss incurred from the Battle of Gods and Demons.
Teacher, why couldnt the hall master move? Even if the hall master couldnt move, theres the school principal. Was he not able to move either? a female sword student asked.
As I said, there were restrictions. Im just a teacher; how can I answer such profound questions? Sayali smacked the table angrily, scaring all the students. Turned out this teacher looked cute, but had a bad temper!
Shayeli glanced at the girl who had asked the question. A hundred thousand questions! Honestly!
The girl wanted to run away, nearly in tears. Shed only asked one question!
Class dismissed! Shayeli slapped the table, grabbed the textbook and left class without a backward glance. Her stride was long, almost like she was running away.
No, she wasnt running away. She was leaving to check her references, that was all. These students had no initiative. Asking the teacher everything instead of figuring it out for themselves from the text!
The students: . . .
The school arranged to have someone teach the students, who already had a seeking stone, how to use it to enter the virtual world. Those who didnt have a stone yet had to keep making money. Woo . . . they shouldnt have set such a high goal. Why was money so heard to earn these days?
Currently all the students with stones were sitting arms length apart from each other in a classroom. They began following the instructions to find the entrance to the virtual world.
There were many students who didn't have experience with the stone, so it took them a long time to even sense the virtual world, never mind the entrance.
Some students knew what the stone was for and had already tried to find the entrance on their own over the holiday break. They succeeded after a great deal of effort. So while the inexperienced were trying to sense the virtual world, the experienced students had already found the door and passed through.
Feng Wu easily entered the virtual world and immediately went to West Flower. When she had entered before, she didnt know there was a virtual world version of Xingguang Holy Academy, but after listening to the teacher instruct, she knew there was one in West Flower.
The teachers in the virtual world werent the same as the ones who taught in the real world. The school in the virtual world was taught by the fallen heroic spirits of those who perished in the great battle with the demon progenitor. They had volunteered to remain in the Void realm. They wouldnt completely die ss long as they remained in the realm, but such a long life was too boring with nothing to do, so some bored masters agreed to be teachers. Maybe they would have some fun doing it.
The teachers were really moody though. They expelled any student who failed to satisfy them. So just meeting a master teacher didnt guarantee a bright future. That teacher had to acknowledge you.
The virtual world was a magical world where you could leisurely develop your spiritual power. It was slower than in the real world, but it was easier and more relaxing.
Many seniors liked staying in the virtual world because of this. They could increase their spiritual powers without having to cultivate. Only a fool wouldnt take advantage of it.
Another big reason had to do with opportunities, there were countless opportunities in fact. You could apprentice under a peerless master and inherit their knowledge or find an inheritance that had long disappeared in the real world.
