System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 512: Ch : Virtual Universe

After Alex finished fusing with all the treasures he had replicated, his Primordial Chaos Body completely devoured the Heaven Star Divine Body. Its awakening level, which had been at fifteen percent, rose steadily to seventeen percent. At the same time, his Supreme Undying Soul grew stronger as well, reaching 35% awakening after fusing with the divine soul he had replicated from Lyria.

When he fused with the replicated treasures, profound insights into the Dao of Fire (27%) and the Dao of Water (10%) surged into his mind like a raging flood. Countless images, laws, and principles intertwined, colliding within his consciousness. Flames that could incinerate everything and gentle streams that could erode even souls appeared one after another, endlessly overlapping.

At the same time, he also obtained the Fire Domain (Introductory), along with all the foundational insights tied to it. The moment the domain took shape, Alex’s comprehension of the Dao of Fire surged even further. To him, flames were no longer just a destructive power; they became a complete system of rebirth and destruction.

Cyr stood quietly in a large hall.

In front of him stood a middle-aged man with a tight and serious expression. His back was straight, and his eyes were deep like an endless starry sky. Even without releasing any aura, he gave off a heavy pressure.

This was Kael Mistveil, Cyr’s father.

Beside him, on a soft jade chair, sat a beautiful middle-aged woman. Her face was gentle, and her eyes were warm, but a hidden strength was evident in her posture.

She was Elara Mistveil, Cyr’s mother.

Cyr had already told them everything about the sealed galaxy, about what he faced there, and about the appearance of the Saint Sovereign’s Inheritance World. He told them how dangerous it was and how many people died fighting for it.

He also spoke about Alex.

From Cyr’s point of view, Alex must have obtained a great opportunity inside the Saint Sovereign’s Inheritance World. Because of that opportunity, Alex had gained knowledge about the universe. That was why Alex was never shocked whenever Cyr talked about galaxies, major forces, or something else.

Then Cyr spoke about Serena, about her unfathomable presence and the strange feeling she gave him. Even though Serena was only at the True Divinity Stage, Cyr felt that she could defeat him easily, without even lifting a finger. This feeling made him extremely cautious.

After listening quietly for a long time, Kael Mistveil finally spoke.

"So, you are saying that this girl, Serena, must have an extraordinary origin, and that it would be better for us to maintain a friendly relationship with them?"

"Yes, Dad," Cyr replied without hesitation.

"Hmm... are you sure about that? You are a Saint Foundation Stage warrior, and yet you believe a True Divinity could suppress you so easily?"

Kael narrowed his eyes slightly and looked deeply into Cyr’s eyes. He wanted to confirm that Cyr was not just spouting nonsense.

"I’m sure, Dad. Moreover, it’s not that I feel she can suppress me easily; I feel she can kill me easily. When I was standing in front of her, my instincts were screaming at me not to offend her."

Kael fell silent when he heard his son’s words. He can see sincerity in his son’s eyes.

At this moment, Elara turned to her husband and spoke softly. "Although Cyr likes to run away from home and creates trouble almost all the time, he never lies. If he feels this way, then it is not something to ignore."

Kael also nodded and let out a slow breath. "Very well. In any case, both Serena and that boy, Alex, are connected to the Saint Sovereign’s Inheritance World. They are worth meeting."

He looked at Cyr. "I will meet them once. We will see for ourselves what kind of people they are. Inform them that I would like to meet them."

Cyr lowered his head slightly and then nodded in agreement.

Inside his room, Alex used his Universe Bracelet to connect to the Virtual Universe.

With a simple thought, the Universe Bracelet on his wrist lit up. A soft white light spread out and slowly covered his vision. The walls, the floor, and even the ceiling faded away, as if they were dissolving into mist.

In the next moment, Alex felt weightless.

When his vision cleared, he was standing in an endless space of light. Countless stars floated around him, forming long rivers that stretched into the distance.

His true body was still inside the room. At this moment, his consciousness had already entered the Virtual Universe through the Universe Bracelet.

At this moment, a calm voice echoed in Alex’s mind.

{Connecting to the Virtual Universe.}

{Account verified.}

{Welcome, Alex White.}

Streams of data flowed past him like wind. Very soon, a simple figure of light appeared in front of him.

This was an avatar that had 99.99% similarities to his true body in terms of appearance, strength, cultivation, and more.

As his consciousness entered the avatar, the space around him began to change, and what appeared before him was a huge city with a strong historical aura.

The streets were paved with pale crystal tiles, smooth and faintly glowing. Elegant halls, tall towers, quiet pavilions, and rows of emerald trees stood on both sides of the road, while clear streams flowed gently through the city.

Standing there made one feel as if they had crossed time itself, returning to a long-lost ancient era.

High above the city, a massive three-dimensional projection of a dark crimson mountain floated in the sky. Three lines were engraved on the mountain, radiating a mysterious pressure.

On the long main street below, crowds moved back and forth without pause.

The people walking there came in all shapes and races.

This city was known as Crimson Cloud City. Every person from the Frozen Star Galaxy would appear on this city island the first time they entered the Virtual Universe. It was the common starting point for all newcomers to the galaxy.

The structure of the Virtual Universe was very different from the real universe. In the real universe, although there were many inhabited worlds, there were far more worlds that were completely unsuitable for living beings. Most planets were empty, barren, or deadly.

Even among the inhabited worlds, the distance between them was extremely vast. Two worlds that were considered "close" to each other were often separated by several light-years. Traveling or communicating across such distances was slow and inconvenient.

To solve this problem, the Virtual Universe gathered people together in fixed locations. Each galaxy had its own entry city. When people from the same galaxy entered the Virtual Universe, they would all appear in the same place.

Crimson Cloud City served that role for the Frozen Star Galaxy.

It was similar to a beginner village in a game—a starting area where people could meet, exchange information, learn basic rules, and slowly step into the wider Virtual Universe.

Compared to the real universe, the Virtual Universe was truly a place of endless prosperity. Here, people could meet their friends face to face and talk directly, no matter how far apart they were in reality. They could also use their virtual assistants to make long-distance calls or share images and information instantly. If they wished, they could even spend money to teleport to other virtual locations and meet others there without any delay.

Almost everything that existed in the real universe could be found here, including but not limited to training areas, cultivation academies, games, rare foods, trading centers, martial arts arenas, and countless forms of entertainment. It felt as if nothing was missing.

There were even many things that did not exist in the real universe at all. Impossible landscapes, simulated ancient battlefields, and training grounds that ignored physical limits were common sights.

In truth, the Virtual Universe was an unimaginably vast marketplace that gathered cultivators from every corner of the cosmos. No single world market could compare to its scale or prosperity.

Because of this, many people, after entering the Virtual Universe, gradually began to treat it as the real universe. Some even chose to stay here for the rest of their lives, rarely returning to reality.

Of course, nothing here was free. Every service, every convenience, and every pleasure required money. Without sufficient wealth, it was impossible to live comfortably in this world.

And no matter how perfect it seemed, one truth remained unchanged—what was virtual was still not real. No matter how many advantages the Virtual Universe offered, it could never completely replace reality. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Alex understood all of this clearly.

There was a reason he had chosen to enter the Virtual Universe at this moment.

He activated the functions of his "virtual" Universe Bracelet and called out his virtual assistant. Through it, he requested a direct connection to Fritz. As for how Alex possessed Fritz’s contact information, there is no need to explain the obvious.

Before long, space in front of Alex rippled slightly, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

Actually, after the connection was established, Alex immediately sent his location coordinates. Using the teleport function of the Virtual Universe, Fritz arrived almost instantly, materializing right in front of him as if he had always been there.
