Chapter 230: My World
However, the world stated that the New World was not yet complete and was still in the process of being generated.
“The entire model is quite large, and it took me a lot of time to write it. It is currently being generated,” the world said.
“So, can I see it now?”
Liu Sheng rubbed her hands, asking with anticipation.
After a moment of silence, the world’s voice sounded again.
“...You can see it, but it’s not fully generated.”
It sounded as if there was a slight hesitation, a slight reluctance.
But Liu Sheng couldn’t care less about that.
She was eager to see the results of her and the world’s efforts.
At that time, she had finally managed to convert all of Wen Xuanning’s faith value, the ‘poor sacrifice,’ into her own, and then the world began to invade the entire illusory world, seizing control.
After that, it was the world’s turn to transfer all the data used to construct the illusion into its own storage space, where it would reconstruct Liu Sheng’s Xuan Thirty-Nine City and its digital life forms based on underlying logical algorithms, while retaining historical data.
She missed her people dearly, having not seen them for a day.
Liu Sheng, filled with anticipation, sank her consciousness and entered the passage left by the world.
However, a moment later...
“Is that all?” Liu Sheng asked in disbelief, looking at everything before her.
“Grand Divine Official, what do you mean, ‘is that all’?” Yanran Divine Official’s voice sounded beside her, full of confusion.
Liu Sheng slowly turned her head, glanced at the other party, then looked away, saying stiffly, “Nothing.”
“Is there something on my face?” Yanran Divine Official began to doubt herself.
A small cube-shaped hand touched the large cube-shaped head, and the few pixelated features on the smooth face moved. Two thick black lines above the two pixelated eyes then bent, presumably indicating confusion.
Below the cube-shaped head was an angular, rectangular body with some gray textures that looked like a Divine Official’s robe, and darker textures to represent the folds of the clothing. The arms and legs were slender rectangles, swinging stiffly back and forth.
In short, this life-sized block-pixelated person in front of her bore no resemblance to the Yanran Divine Official in Liu Sheng’s memory, who was beautiful and graceful, making Liu Sheng envious.
“No, no, you are still as beautiful and charming as ever,” Liu Sheng quickly praised, and only when Yanran Divine Official’s mouth, formed by two pink pixels, seemed to smile, did she feel at ease.
She couldn’t let them realize they had turned into this appearance...
“They won’t realize it, rest assured.”
“Because the rules of this world are unified, and their perception is influenced by these rules. So, in the pixel world, they won’t find anything wrong with their blocky appearance; it’s completely normal for them.”
“But your authority is higher than this rule, unaffected by it, which is why you see such a sight.”
At this moment, Liu Sheng was standing on a street composed of square stone blocks, with houses built from stone and wood blocks on either side of the street.
Further away, mountains made of green, earthy, and gray pixel blocks rose, and square white clouds drifted slowly across the sky, casting angular shadows on the mountains.
Judging by the square sun in the sky, it was still broad daylight, so the street was bustling with square pixel people. Whenever someone passed by her, she would always hear a respectful “Grand Divine Official.”
It was just a pity that she truly couldn’t recognize who was who...
Already face-blind, and now facing blocky faces that were all equally smooth with only a few dots for features, it was truly difficult for her to distinguish anyone.
Liu Sheng could recognize Yanran Divine Official only because they spent time together every day, and she was very familiar with her voice.
And those with gray textures on their bodies should all be her beloved Divine Officials.
Seeing dozens of blocky faces looking at her with “anticipation,” Liu Sheng rubbed her round head, feeling a headache.
“Why is my head round?”
“Earth Mother, I specifically spent more resources to model you in detail. This is the privilege of your class.”
“...World, you’re really getting more and more humorous.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“But, they won’t just stay like this, will they?”
Liu Sheng felt she didn’t really want to be the city lord of a blocky city.
“It’s still being generated. You can take a closer look.”
Liu Sheng carefully observed these blocky heads; it seemed the facial features were slowly changing from square pixels to hexagons?
Also, the particles that made up the houses, streets, and distant mountains seemed to subtly become smaller and more numerous.
Even the sun was evolving into a polygon with more than four sides.
“It seems to be getting more refined!” Liu Sheng exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, it’s being modeled. It requires rendering time and is gradually becoming high-resolution, high-detail, and high-quality, which can be called ‘Three Highs’.”
Liu Sheng’s mouth twitched.
“What’s the current progress?”
Subsequently, a floating window appeared before Liu Sheng’s eyes.
“’Three Highs’ Progress: 13.27%”
Below it was a progress bar that was slowly moving.
“Is this progress a bit slow? I see that the city has everything it should, it’s just a bit rough for now.”
Liu Sheng stared for a long time but couldn’t see any change in the progress bar. She finally saw it increase by 0.01%, reaching 13.28%.
“Because this is just a part of it,” the world said, guiding Liu Sheng’s vision upward.
As her vision rose higher and higher, Liu Sheng finally saw that beyond this familiar city, beyond Liantang Village, Zhushi Village, Silver Ginkgo Village, and Xuan Mountain surrounding the main city, more black lines were forming on the grid plane and continuously extending outwards.
“What is this?” Liu Sheng asked in shock.
Above the grid, these lines undulated, circle after circle, seemingly forming the skeletons of some three-dimensional shapes.
“Mountains, forests, lakes, rivers,” the world replied.
Liu Sheng was so astonished that she was speechless for a moment.
The world also knew Liu Sheng would have such a reaction, and continued to explain.
“Didn’t I transfer most of that thing’s data? That’s nearly a thousand sets of data similar to Xuan Thirty-Nine City. It would be a waste to only use it to construct one Xuan Thirty-Nine City.”
“So, as you said, you rewrote and transformed this data?” Liu Sheng instantly understood. That’s why the air wall was broken, and this space was expanding.
“Yes, using it as raw material to create a vaster world.”
“Under the evolution of my improved algorithms, your people will gradually possess everything real humans can have: thought, growth, and reproduction.”
“This will be a New World full of randomness and possibilities!”
The world concluded its statement with great pride.
Liu Sheng and the others listened to the world’s presentation on the New World, applauding and giving the world a thumbs-up.
...
Having confirmed the progress, Liu Sheng’s consciousness withdrew from the New World. Her consciousness, which had been floating in the air, instantly settled onto the cloud sedan’s seat, feeling a bit unaccustomed for a moment.
The “Three Highs” progress bar was still displayed before her eyes, now at 13.79%.
Salute!
