<h4>Chapter 1638: Entering the Virtual Realm for the First Time</h4>


    Lin Huang tried tomunicate with the Gate of All Realms.


    The Gate of All Realms did not seem to have a very high intelligence; it could only transmit some simple thoughts.


    Nevertheless, Lin Huang managed to gain some information from it.


    After Mr. Gate obtained the Gate of All Realms, he had used it almost solely as a dimensional portal. Naturally, using it in such a manner was also very convenient.


    The Gate of All Realms could entirely disregard distance in space and transport the host to any ce they had traveled to before.


    When Mr. Gate killed a raptor during his unification, the Gate of All Realms had gained the Origin Energy left by the raptor. Only then had it been able to connect a passageway to the virtual realm.


    After this, Mr. Gate had been recruited by the Raiders and had also been given two Goldfingers in session.


    The Gate of All Realms was able to open three passageways into the virtual realm only after it had absorbed the two Goldfingers.


    Previously, it could only consolidate a virtual body once a day—this had now been increased to three times a day.


    Once the Gate of All Realms had connected a passageway to the virtual realm, Mr. Gate had used a virtual body to enter the virtual realm many times at first. However, he was killed almost every time he encountered any Voids. After that, hepletely abandoned any thoughts about killing Voids and used the Gate of All Realms in the opposite manner—to summon Voids.


    ording to the information provided by the Gate of All Realms, the virtual realm was a very unique ce.


    What caught Lin Huang’s attention most was the time rule within it.


    Under normal circumstances, the flow of time in the virtual realm was the same as that of the material realm.


    However, if one entered the virtual realm using a virtual body, no matter how long they stayed in the virtual realm—whether it was one day, one year, ten years, or a million years—time would not change when one returned to the material realm.


    It was as if time in the material realm froze when the virtual body entered the virtual realm.


    Once he had ascertained this, a thought instantly shed through Lin Huang’s mind. ‘I can cultivate in there!’


    After all, any benefits obtained by his virtual body had would be reflected in his actual body.


    Therefore, theoretically, the virtual realm was undoubtedly a utopia for cultivation.


    However, after a more detailed study of the information that the Gate of All Realms provided, Lin Huang rapidly became rather vexed.


    He could enter the virtual realm with a virtual body, but he could not bring items from the material realm into the virtual realm.


    Earlier, he had thought that if he cultivated in this ce, he would be able to rapidly refine his half-step Lords’ God Territories.


    However, now he discovered that he could not bring those half-step Lords’ God Territories into the virtual realm all.


    He even considered hiding the items in his God Territory so he could retrieve them when he got to the virtual realm, or else he could hide himself in his God Territory. However, he soon abandoned this idea as well.


    A God Territory consolidated in the material realm was an inherent integration of time and space. There were many celestial bodies, all kinds of living beings, and other material substances in it. In the virtual realm, all of them would bepletely masked off, and one would not be able to sense them at all.


    After a moment of fruitless thinking, Lin Huang had no other option but to ask Xiao Hei for help.


    “Are there any sorts of dimensional cards that would allow me to bring half-step Lord God Territory Shell Remnants or other items into the virtual realm?”


    “Bringing them in is useless, you can’t retrieve them for use.”


    Xiao Hei’s response stunned Lin Huang.


    He immediately realized that it was not enough even if he could bring items in. He had to find a way to be able to use them.


    After all, the virtual realm rejected material substances. Even if he were to use some special dimensional technique to bring items in, by the rules of the virtual realm, he would not be able to retrieve them either.


    He thought for a moment and asked again, “Then is there any way to create an independent space in the virtual realm that’s isted from the influence of the virtual realm’s rules, allowing me to bring in items from the material realm for cultivation?”


    “Although the Gate of All Realms has shared information on the virtual realm with us, I must still go and experience it myself to determine whether or not I can create such a card.”


    “Can my virtual body bring all of you in?” Naturally, Lin Huang meant the Goldfingers within him when he said “all of you”.


    “Based on the information provided by the Gate of All Realms, Goldfingers are probably not restricted.”


    Lin Huang nodded as soon as he heard that. “Then let’s go in and check things out.”


    Hemunicated with the Gate of All Realms again as soon as he finished speaking.


    A momentter, with Lin Huang’s consent, his consciousness was drawn out of his body by the Gate of All Realms. Subsequently, a new “body” was rapidly formed.


    To Lin Huang, this virtual body was practically no different from his physical body. However, it was a figure that had no substance at all. It could not be seen or touched; even Lin Huang’s peak lower-rank lord-level Divine Telekinesis could only be sensed as the vaguest of traces.


    However, Lin Huang could clearly sense that his power was still there. He could still use his Divine Power, as well as all kinds of Rule Bending Powers and sequence powers. He could also clearly sense the presence of the Goldfingers within him.


    Right as Lin Huang was still adapting to his new body, the Gate of All Realms opened a gate that looked like the Virtual Eye.


    Seeing that the Virtual Eye-like gate was rapidly forming in front of him, Lin Huang asked with some concern, “The Voids won’t be released, will they?”


    However, he soon received feedback from the Gate of All Realms’ consciousness.


    The gate this time was a one-way gate. One could only enter from the material realm into the virtual realm, but nothing could exit the virtual realm.


    Lin Huang was relieved when he heard that.


    When the Virtual Eye had fully consolidated, the Gate of All Realms transmitted a trace of consciousness.


    Lin Huang understood right away. In a sh, he controlled his virtual body to step into the Virtual Eye.


    After stepping into the Virtual Eye, he did not feel anything special. An instantter, he passed through the Virtual Eye and arrived in the legendary virtual realm.


    This was a ck and white world; there were no other colors.


    For a moment, Lin Huang felt as if he had be colorblind. However, it only took him a moment to adapt to this new environment; he then began looking around.


    The world had be ck and white, but nothing seemed to have changed in his surroundings at all.


    He was still in his living room as before.


    The furniture and decorations in the house had not changed at all.


    Lin Huang got up and opened the door. The arrangement of the courtyard was entirely the same as in the material realm. All the nts were there. The only difference was that they were now ck and white.


    In a sh, Lin Huang appeared right away in the air above the courtyard.


    Very soon, he saw the Sword Alliance’s entire headquarters. It was no different from the material realm at all.


    Apart from the colors having be ck and white, perhaps the only difference was that there were entirely no signs of life.


    The entire station was quiet.


    After looking down at the Sword Alliance’s headquarters for a while, Lin Huang swiftly flew higher and released his Divine Telekinesis to scan the entire Pfister Star.


    The result of the scan showed very obviously that there were no living beings on the entire.


    However, Lin Huang did not want to give up. He sent his Divine Telekinesis out, spreading it further away.


    One lightyear, two lightyears... Ten lightyears... A hundred lightyears... One thousand lightyears...


    Very soon, he had scanned the entire star zone with Divine Telekinesis, but to no avail still.


    Thes in the material realm with myriads of humans living on them were nowhere to be found—there were no traces of them here at all.


    Just when Lin Huang was preparing to retract his Divine Telekinesis, the faraway area where the Battlefield of the Dragon Abyss was located suddenly transmitted an overpowering surge of Divine Telekinesis in Lin Huang’s direction.
