King of Assassins-Chapter 41 Divine Enthronement Plan
Chapter 41 - 41 Divine Enthronement Plan
In the Star River Era, humanity conquered most of the Milky Way Galaxy, forming a massive Galaxy Human Alliance.
The emergence of the Celestial Net and Light Computer enabled humanity to communicate across the vast distances of the cosmos.
However, the main mode of interplanetary travel remained the Interstellar Flying Ship, severely limiting communication between planets.
In ancient times, ten billion humans lived on their home planet and were divided into numerous countries.
Humans distinguished themselves with various labels, divided into groups, and endlessly fought among themselves, taking delight in it.
In the Interstellar Era, humans on different planets gradually developed their own traditions, cultures, and customs while adapting to planetary life.
The Galaxy Human Alliance naturally transformed into a loose confederation rooted in planetary autonomy.
Only through the tireless travel of large commercial conglomerates did the pursuit of profit bridge planets.
Over time, these commercial conglomerates naturally became the de facto rulers of the Human Alliance.
Battle Net is a comprehensive virtual gaming platform introduced by the Glory Group.
In the Interstellar Era, most humans at the bottom tier were idle, immersed in virtual networks.
Virtual games became a haven for many to escape reality, as, in virtual reality, players remained equals.
All players must abide by system rules without exception.
However, connecting over the Celestial Net across star systems was not easy and incurred high costs.
Only Battle Net served as a gaming platform connecting humans of the Milky Way Galaxy.
This gaming platform became the dominant force in virtual gaming, with more than three hundred billion users online daily.
There was even an Alliance President who openly claimed that War God Glory united all of humanity as a whole.
Such claims were certainly subtle advertising, but from another perspective, Battle Net was indeed an important symbol of interstellar human culture.
Ordinary people simply found Battle Net games very fun, especially since they could connect with people from other planets, experiencing a sense of accomplishment.
Especially the leaderboard rankings, a universal ranking for all of humanity, made them incredibly significant.
For many with gaming talent, Battle Net was also a good place to get rich.
Almost no one knew how much money it cost to promote Battle Net nor the scale of expenses required to maintain interstellar connectivity.
Battle Net's excellent money-making ability enabled a positive cycle that allowed it to persist for so long.
In his past life, Gao Xuan was indifferent to all of this, occasionally logging in just for entertainment and relaxation.
It wasn't until an Alien Race enacted Divine Enthronement, creating a Virtual Divine Country and eliminating half of the human strong.
Only then did Gao Xuan and other human strong realize that Battle Net was, in fact, a colossal conspiracy!
Unfortunately, everyone realized this far too late.
The fundamental reason the Alien Race could establish a Virtual Divine Country and enact Divine Enthronement was by absorbing the telekinesis of billions of players.
As intelligent beings' minds operate, they generate telekinesis. This is a very natural process.
The more focused a human's spirit, the stronger the telekinesis. It's akin to cultivating Source Power, fundamentally led by telekinesis guiding the flow of Source Power.
Even emotional fluctuations and obsessions create telekinesis.
For example, having intense love for someone generates strong telekinesis. Although this telekinesis cannot interfere with physical reality, it might establish a subtle spiritual sensing with the target, resulting in some wondrous effects.
When playing games, a person's spirit is highly concentrated, thereby generating telekinesis.
However, this telekinesis is too weak. Even with a trillion players' telekinesis, it is hard to affect physical reality.
Battle Net used a powerful marvel to collect the telekinesis of billions of players, accumulating over one hundred years.
Finally, finding the right moment, they transformed the limitless telekinesis into a Virtual Divine Country, enacting Divine Enthronement in one fell swoop.
This was also how Gao Xuan realized that the only path for humanity to enact Divine Enthronement was through this route!
Gao Xuan was determined to obtain the boundless telekinesis hidden within Battle Net.
The Seventh Sage, killing Luojia to snatch the Celestial Demon Relic, the Sword King title, all these steps were for the ultimate goal: Divine Enthronement!
Only through Divine Enthronement could one qualify to change humanity's fate.
Glory Company had been plotting for a century, its influences spreading across every tier of the Human Alliance, extremely powerful.
To say Gao Xuan, even if the entire Pegasus Star's forces combined, they would be no match for Glory Company.
Gao Xuan's only advantage now was foresight. Actuating at several crucial nodes, he had a chance to defy destiny.
To enact Divine Enthronement in the Virtual Divine Realm, three crucial conditions must be met.
The first condition is to must attain the Sword King title in the War God University Student Sword Dao League!
The Sword Dao League is not a virtual game but a Sword Dao competition streamed over Battle Net.
The Alliance established the Sword Dao League to inspire humanity's martial spirit.
Over several hundred years, the Sword Dao League formed multiple tiers of competition.
Among them, the University Student Sword Dao League holds the greatest influence.
More than a hundred years ago, during Battle Net's game promotion process, they hosted Sword Dao tiered competitions.
They also unified independent Sword Dao leagues across planets into Alliance-wide Sword Dao leagues.
This expanded the scale and influence of the Sword Dao League by thousands of times.
Over the years, the Sword Dao League became humanity's most significant sports event.
To this day, the biennial University Student Sword Dao League finals are broadcast live over Battle Net, with a viewership rate as high as 30%.
This is 30% of all humans in the Milky Way Galaxy. This figure is extremely alarming.
Winning the university student Sword Dao League championship for the best swordsman earns the Sword King title.
Gao Xuan is risking his life to attend university, ultimately for the purpose of participating in the University Student Sword Dao League to earn the Sword King title.
Being the University Student Sword Dao champion is one of the highest honors of humanity. The competition is incredibly fierce, shrouded with intrigue.
Merely possessing excellent swordsmanship is far from enough to attain the Sword King title.
Many genius swordsmen have suffered crushing defeats under various schemes or have even died inexplicably.
In his past life, Gao Xuan was an Assassin, having no connection with the university community. He knew nothing about the Sword Dao League's situation. He needed time to observe and adapt.
While there's nothing happening now, he might as well play some games with Wei Zhenzhen to get a feel of it.
Gao Xuan returned to his bedroom and entered the login pod.
The streamlined login pod looked a bit like a fighter jet without wings, with the cockpit inside being very comfortable. The contact-style neural connection method is stable, reliable, and efficient, providing 99% ultra-high realism.
Gao Xuan checked online and found that this login pod is a Supreme Flowing Light edition, priced at three million.
The high price is indeed a brand premium, and its technology surpasses all other virtual reality login equipment on the market.
After activating the login pod, the intelligent Light Computer collected Gao Xuan's fingerprints and brainwave signatures, locking him as the sole user.
Under the guidance of the Light Computer, Gao Xuan entered Battle Net and registered the ID: Celestial Cicada.
Next came the novice tutorial, which Gao Xuan skipped entirely, directly arriving at the virtual room set up by Wei Zhenzhen.
Wei Zhenzhen was excited to see Gao Xuan, "Brother, you came! Wow! Your eyes!"
Wei Zhenzhen gazed in admiration at Gao Xuan's face, for, in the virtual game, Gao Xuan's previously closed eyes were finally open.
The eyes shone like bright stars, deep and vibrant, full of exuberant vitality.
"Brother, I really love you!" Wei Zhenzhen stared at Gao Xuan's eyes with infatuation plastered across her face.
Those eyes were data left from when Gao Xuan used the internet before; his virtual avatar adopted this previous data.
Gao Xuan said indifferently, "It's all data and virtual."
Wei Zhenzhen sighed slightly, feeling a bit disappointed. She wanted to persuade Gao Xuan to clone his eyes, but the words caught in her throat.
She dared not suggest it, fearing Gao Xuan would find her annoying. She changed the topic and said, "Brother, you haven't played Battle Net, have you? Today we'll play War God Glory, a classic team battle game..."
"What's so fun about a tower defense game? Why don't we compare swordsmanship on Battle Net instead?"
The woman speaking had dreadlocks, wheat-colored skin, a face full of vibrant heroism, sharp and wild eyes; it was Jiang Xuejun.
Seeing Gao Xuan silent, Jiang Xuejun slightly squinted her eyes, a smile tugging at her lips as she asked, "Are you afraid?"
