Absolute Death Game-Chapter 493 - 56 Another World
The old financier spoke directly, truly not concealing anything, and got straight to the point, "Although you've been playing this game, you certainly don't know its origin. Initially, this game was merely a tool for training soldiers in our world. Soldiers received identities in the game world and, upon entering through consciousness, experienced war. This could quickly help those who had never encountered real war to develop rapidly," the financier said while plucking a grape and popping it into his mouth. Even though it was just code, he seemed to enjoy it immensely.
"But if you die in the game, you have to die in the real world, isn't that too cruel for those soldiers?" Xiao Buli wasn't too surprised to hear the old financier's introduction. Among his original guesses, being a training system was one of them.
"It wasn't set up that way in the beginning. Characters who died in the game would, of course, be demoted as punishment. This was to make them cherish life and understand the cruelty of war, but they wouldn't actually die. All of this only happened after that great destruction, and as for the details, I have been trapped on the GM Island ever since, so I'm not very clear about them. Even where exactly you come from, I don't understand very well. The game projections here are all based on a place called the Vast Wilderness Continent, and most of the characters projected here have been transformed into a species with a relatively high status on that continent, like how I now have two hands and two feet, but my real body is much more complex," the financier said, pausing slightly as if recalling something, and he heaved a silent sigh, "I don't even know if I'll remember how to control them once I'm back in my body."
The elderly man next to him seemed to share the sentiment, shaking his head with a hint of regret but said nothing.
"The Vast Wilderness Continent you mentioned, is that Earth?" Xiao Buli asked curiously, interrupting the two's somber thoughts.
"Earth? I don't know what that is. The Vast Wilderness Continent is a very magical place in our world, where the creatures have neither advanced technology nor superhuman abilities. In fact, they're born without any unique powers. Yet, the people there can create many sophisticated artworks based on their brain's imagination, unlike us. Even with extraordinary abilities and advanced technology, we have lost our imagination. We do things by the book and can only replicate and slightly modify items. I suppose that's why the higher-ups decided to hire the creatures from the Vast Wilderness Continent to help us plan the game's blueprint. I must say, some of the scenes they envisioned are indeed very beautiful, like the Immortal Realm. I guess you've been there before?" the financier probed.
"The Immortal Realm?" Xiao Buli repeated, the splendid images of the Immortal Realm coming to mind. The resemblance to the Immortal Realm envisioned by humans was uncanny, so even though Xiao Buli was amazed by its beauty at first, he wasn't surprised. What intrigued him more was what this Vast Wilderness Continent they were referring to was. Could it be some extraterrestrial beings' term for Earth? "Are you extraterrestrials?" he asked on this thought.

"Extraterrestrial? No, no, no, in our place, there are only differences between worlds; there's no such concept as 'extraterrestrials.' We are from the world of Tantajia, and besides ours there are..." the financier went on, absorbed in his explanations.
Xiao Buli scratched his head and decided to automatically ignore the incomprehensible names, figuring that they might just be different terms for the same thing. It would be too difficult to make him understand this, so it was better to skip the question altogether. Xiao Buli resolved to let him continue without interrupting his flow so he could understand as much as he could, then ask about anything unclear later.
After the financier talked for a while and saw that Xiao Buli was no longer interrupting, he didn't mention the names from his world anymore, and after thinking for a moment, he summarized: "In short, with the help of several human species on the Barbarian Wilderness, we finally completed the construction of the game's scenes. Then, using our technology, we endowed the NPCs with their own personalities and traits, somewhat like robots. We input certain fixed codes, such as stubbornness, intelligence, irritability, etc., and each person's Attribute Points at birth also differed, but we didn't set a fixed path for them. They follow their own character traits or ways of dealing with things, learning abilities, and carve out different lives for themselves, thereby forming a world of endless variations within the game—a world that is closest to the real world. Here, there are no fixed rules, and it's impossible to cheat; the characters within also have enmities and friendships, evil and goodness. Then, the whole project was put into use, and the system would create characters based on the DNA analysis data of those entering the game. Of course, after we entered the game, our forms were changed according to human species, but because in our world, everyone is born with innate abilities and talents, the soldiers who entered the game soon developed into the Immortal Race. As the Immortal Race grew in numbers, we felt that training in the human world was insufficient to enhance our strength, so not long after our soldiers entered the human world they upgraded to the Immortal Realm. But precisely because of this, most parts of the game were abandoned by us, and we failed to notice certain signs. There are three races in the game: the human world, the Demon Clan, and the Immortal Realm. After we took control of the Immortal Realm, we seldom intervened in the human world and the Demon Clan, not anticipating that this would lead to a great disaster."
