The opportunity has been given; now it's up to them to seize it.

On Earth, the bright moon shines high in the sky. It is exactly 1:00 AM, and most people are already asleep, or simply practicing martial arts instead of sleeping.

"Ding! The cosmic-level game 'Ancient World' has opened. This game was created by Yi Shuihan, a friend of the Omni-King and with the approval of the Omni-King. All rights of interpretation belong to Yi Shuihan. Would you like to enter the game? Yes/No"

At the same moment, whether they were dreaming or awake, the news of the Ancient World game appeared in the minds of everyone on Earth.

"Ancient game? What is that? Be quiet, I want to sleep."

Someone mumbled something in their sleep, then turned over and continued sleeping soundly.

"Are you hallucinating? Who is the Omni-King?"

Some people dismissed this as a hallucination.

"The King's Friend Yi Shuihan, what a familiar name, Yi Shuihan, ah! Isn't that the Martial Ancestor? The game he created, we must play it! Enter, enter quickly."

Someone noticed Yi Shuihan's name and immediately chose to enter.

On Earth, the title of Omni-King was not very effective; nobody knew who he was. On the contrary, Yi Shuihan was highly respected by everyone because he ushered in a new era for Earth.

Since it was nighttime, there were relatively few players entering the game. However, due to the name Yi Shuihan, almost everyone who knew who Yi Shuihan was chose to enter the game, and in a short time, hundreds of millions of players appeared in the Ancient Wilderness World.

"Please select a race?"

"Should we adjust the appearance by 20%?"

"..."

After a series of account creation operations, people were surprised to find themselves in a completely unfamiliar place, with a brand new body. If it weren't for the option to log out, they would have thought that they were now their real selves.

The ancient world created by Yi Shuihan was so realistic that these people couldn't distinguish between the virtual and the real world.

Chapter 943, Qin Feng's Extraordinary Adventure

Qin Feng was originally an ordinary white-collar worker in the western capital of Earth. He was 27 years old and lived a fairly comfortable life.

A few years ago, Qin Feng caught up with the revival of martial arts on Earth. He quit his job and focused on cultivating martial arts. After all, compared to working in a company and just waiting to die, the future of cultivating martial arts was much better. Anyone who wasn't stupid would know which choice to make.

Qin Feng's talent isn't bad, but it's definitely not great either. After several years of cultivation, he has only just mastered a basic cultivation technique to the sixth level, with a combat power of over 600 points. At this rate, unless he has some special opportunity, he will probably only break through to the second realm of Condensation at most.

Even so, Qin Feng is still much better off than he was as a white-collar worker. He can easily find any job now.

Qin Feng is not satisfied with his current achievements. These days he is planning to find a master, a martial arts school owner who has reached the Qi Realm Perfection stage.

The true powerhouses on Earth now are all at the Condensation Realm, but even reaching the Perfect Qi Realm is considered a significant figure, and they can be quite influential in an ordinary city.

With guidance from a Qi Realm Perfection expert, Qin Feng's cultivation speed could be several times faster, which is why he wanted to become an apprentice.

Unfortunately, when he went to become an apprentice, he was told that only those who had cultivated the basic techniques to the 7th level were qualified to participate in the apprenticeship assessment.

He was troubled by this matter in the hotel that day, and couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning. Then he heard the news that the ancient world had opened.

As a martial artist, his first thought was that Yi Shuihan was the Martial Ancestor, so he chose to enter the game.

After entering the game, he chose the human race, did not change his appearance, and successfully became a game player after a series of operations. He is now in the newbie village number 666 mentioned by the system spirit.

"Hey kid, don't just stand there like an idiot, come out here and stop blocking the people behind you."

Qin Feng, who was marveling at the game's realism, suddenly heard someone speaking. He looked up and saw a person dressed in ordinary soldier's uniform looking at him from a short distance away. He immediately realized that the person was talking to him.

He rushed out of the birth point and walked to a relatively open area, where he finally had time to take in his surroundings.

"An ordinary little village."

The starting village is indeed very ordinary, just like a small village on Earth. The only difference is that there are soldiers patrolling the village from time to time, and you can see the most common shops in the game: a pharmacy, a blacksmith shop, and a general store.

"By the way, why am I only wearing underwear and holding a wooden stick?"

Qin Feng suddenly felt a chill. Looking down, he realized he was shirtless, wearing only red underwear, and had no shoes. He also had only a wooden stick in his hand.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he thought about it, he realized that the villagers he had encountered earlier had been looking at him strangely, and that was probably the reason.

If Qin Feng had ever played a game called Legend, he would probably be very familiar with his current appearance.

"Oh right, it seems like they said it would come with beginner equipment."

With a thought, a grid-like screen appeared in front of Qin Feng. It was the game character's inventory, which had 50 slots. Currently, only one slot contained something, which looked like a red gift pack.

"Open the new player gift pack? Yes/No"

"Open"

The gift bag disappeared, replaced by a white cloth shirt, cotton trousers, and a pair of straw sandals.

After quickly changing his clothes, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't look very good now, it was still much better than before. There's no harm without comparison. If he had been dressed like this from the beginning, he might have complained about the system. Now, he felt somewhat fortunate.

"By the way, since there were no clothes at the beginning, what about the female players?"

Thinking of this, Qin Feng silently returned to the spawn point, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light that only men could understand.

"Bro, don't even think about it. The spawn points for men and women are different. There are no female players here at all."

"How did you know?"

"I've been waiting here for a long time. I finally asked that guy over there, and that's what he told me."

Qin Feng left the spawn point in disappointment.

Qin Feng didn't know how to play the game, but Yi Shuihan had taken that into consideration and provided the most basic game knowledge answers. He could easily find out how to play the game by asking the system wizard.

Soon after, Qin Feng began his monster-hunting and leveling-up journey in the Black Forest, where the novice village was located.

After killing the 10th wild boar with a single blow, Qin Feng sat down and gasped for breath.

“In the real world, I could easily deal with these wild boars with a flick of my finger, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult here. It took me an hour to kill just 10 of them.”

Real-world skills cannot be transferred into the game; this is to maintain game balance.

After killing 10 wild boars, Qin Feng is only level 3 now, which translates to about 30 combat power.

"Keep killing monsters. Once you reach level 10, you can change your class. The system said there will be a surprise then. I wonder what that surprise is?"

The game doesn't tell players from the beginning that they can summon the power of in-game characters to possess them. Instead, it only tells them after they reach level 10 and change jobs. So Qin Feng isn't that enthusiastic about the game right now; he just finds it interesting at first and can keep playing.

After most of the day had passed, under a burst of white light that seemed to indicate level 10, Qin Feng finally reached level 10. He went to the village chief of the beginner village and asked to leave the village.

"...Young warrior! Go explore the new continent! May your name one day resound throughout the land."

After a string of words that made everyone want to sleep, the village chief pointed at Qin Feng, and Qin Feng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by a bright light, and he found himself in a new place.

"Newcomer, welcome to Blackwind City. If you want to change jobs, follow this path; the job change hall is at the end."

A guide said to Qin Feng.

"Thank you."

Qin Feng thanked him and headed towards the job change hall, not even bothering to admire Black Wind City. He was still looking forward to the so-called surprise.

Ten minutes later, Qin Feng arrived at the job change hall and, after some effort, successfully changed his job to become a martial artist.

"Ding! Player has successfully changed to a martial artist and unlocked a special function: game character possession. This allows the game character's combat power to be combined with the player's in the real world."

"Ding! Player Qin Feng has successfully completed his 88th job change. He is rewarded with a 10% increase in the combat power of his possessed character."

It was a huge surprise. After understanding what "possession by a game character" meant, Qin Feng was stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

In the real world, Qin Feng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes filled with excitement. He sensed the power in the darkness, and then shouted...

"Armed Possession!"

Boom! An aura far exceeding Qin Feng's own strength suddenly erupted, comparable to the 7th level of the basic level.

"It's true! It really can increase combat power!!"

Chapter 944, Removing Game Restrictions

Knowing that in-game strength could boost real-world combat power, Qin Feng instantly understood the importance of the Ancient World, and felt even greater admiration for Martial Ancestor Yi Shuihan, who created such a game.

Realizing that the higher the level of a game character, the stronger their real-world strength, Qin Feng immediately threw himself into the great task of leveling up in the Ancient Wilderness World. He played like crazy for three days and three nights in a row until his body could no longer take it and he was forced to log off.

After three days and three nights, Qin Feng's level had reached 14. The difficulty of leveling up after level 10 increases significantly, so Qin Feng was considered fast.

However, Qin Feng was very satisfied with the result, because the boost from level 14 had made his combat power comparable to breaking through to the 8th level of a basic cultivation technique.

Possession with a game character has a time limit and does not extend lifespan, so Qin Feng focused his energy on reality and participated in the apprenticeship assessment. Initially, the master was unwilling to accept him because he had not reached the 7th level of the basic level, but when Qin Feng used the game character possession technique and demonstrated extraordinary strength, he successfully became the master's disciple.

Qin Feng was also a smart man. He knew that the things about the Desolate Ancient World would be exposed sooner or later, and that his cultivation level in reality was the foundation. So he immediately chose to tell his new master, the head of the academy, what he knew. He gained the master's favor and the master became more attentive in his guidance. At the same time, those who did not value the Desolate Ancient World quickly devoted themselves to it.

Within just a few days, the entire Earth learned that the strength of game characters in the Ancient Wasteland could be superimposed on that in the real world. Immediately, everyone flocked to the Ancient Wasteland in a frenzy. In an instant, 99% of the entire Earth's population had entered the Ancient Wasteland. The rest were oddballs who disliked fighting. They believed that reality was the foundation. The Ancient Wasteland could increase combat power but not lifespan, so they didn't fight with others. It was better to quietly cultivate the true martial arts in reality.

A month later, the highest-level humans on Earth could borrow power equivalent to 10,000 combat power from the game. The ancient world was completely integrated into people's lives. Because equipment in the game could also increase combat power, people in reality directly used money to buy equipment in the game, resulting in a large number of people quitting their original jobs to become professional gamers.

……

"It seems things are going well. It's time to open up other regions. However, it would be a bit too much to let the entire universe enter. Well, how about this: let's stipulate that one percent of the people become players. If anyone dies, their spot will be randomly allocated to someone else in the universe."

Even one percent of the entire universe's population is still in the trillions, which is no small number.

With the lifting of restrictions on Yi Shui Han, the entire Seventh Universe began to stir, and a large number of new players flooded into the Ancient World.

Aside from Earth, Yi Shuihan didn't care much about these extraterrestrials. Once the Ancient World made a contact, if they didn't choose to enter immediately, they wouldn't be qualified to enter and would have to wait for the next selection. This selection was random and would stop when the number of people was about right. The probability of being selected twice in a row was not high.

"Damn barbarians, they're so fearless, choosing to self-destruct and injuring me."

On a rather desolate planet, a bald man with a tail curses and his combat suit is half torn.

"Nappa, once you're done, hurry up and move on to the next task."

"Understood, Vegeta."

These two are Vegeta and Nappa from the Saiyans.

The two flew to where they had stored their spaceship, preparing to board and leave. At that moment...

"Huh? Raditz's asleep? We put him on guard the ship, and he's sleeping!"

Nappa said with some dissatisfaction. He didn't dare to lose his temper with Vegeta, but he didn't care about Raditz at all. He walked over and shoved Raditz, trying to wake him up.

Vegeta watched everything coldly from the side. He was also somewhat dissatisfied with Raditz, so he did not stop Nappa.

With a loud "bang!", Raditz crashed into a nearby mountain peak and became embedded in it.

For Saiyans, this is nothing, after all, even a low-level warrior has a fighting power of over a thousand. Raditz might feel uncomfortable at most, but he won't get injured.

"what happened?"

Vegeta suddenly spoke up because Raditz still showed absolutely no reaction under these circumstances, his eyes remaining closed.

At this point, both of them realized that something was wrong. They pried Raditz off the wall and put him on the ground.

"Your vital signs are normal! Then why are you still not conscious?"

Napa said in confusion, slapping Raditz's face hard. After a moment, Raditz's face was covered in swollen flesh, but he still did not wake up.

"What should we do now?"

Nappa looked at Vegeta and asked, somewhat annoyed. For this simple-minded guy, he had no idea how to handle the situation.

"They might be under some kind of spell, but there shouldn't be anyone like that on this planet. Let's head back and find someone to check on them."

Raditz was still a Saiyan after all, and Vegeta, though cold-hearted at this moment, still had a trace of humanity.

Just as Napa was about to move Raditz onto the spaceship, Raditz suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with excitement. If he hadn't been beaten to a pulp, he probably would have been excited too.

"You're awake! What happened to you just now?"

Vegeta said coldly.

Upon hearing Vegeta's words, Raditz's face paled, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. His fear of Vegeta had been long-standing.

"It's the Ancient World. I've entered the Ancient World."

"Latitz said quickly."

"Ancient World? What's that? Explain it clearly."

"Here's what happened. I was guarding the spaceship here when a message suddenly popped into my head. It said there was a cosmic-level virtual reality game called the Ancient World, asking if I wanted to enter. I was a little confused, so I just said yes. Then I found myself in a completely new place, the 991219th beginner village. After that..."

Chapter 945, Vegeta also wants to enter the game.

Five hours earlier, Raditz sat idly on the ground. Because of his low strength, he was assigned to guard the spaceship. After all, Saiyans cannot survive in space. Without the spaceship, they would be trapped on this primitive planet.

Raditz had done guarding the spaceship many times before, so he was quite familiar with the job. The key was that he couldn't stray too far from the spaceship.

Just as Raditz was thinking about whether he could go to a weak planet next time and kill a few people, a message suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Ding! The cosmic-level game Ancient World has opened. This game was created by Yi Shuihan, a friend of the Omni-King and with the approval of the Omni-King. All rights of interpretation belong to Yi Shuihan. Do you wish to enter the game? Yes/No. Countdown begins: 10, 9, 8..."
