Chapter 7: Memories of the Past

Lotte tosses and turns in bed alone and can't sleep, inadvertently reminiscing about the past. Counting the days, I didn't know www.biquge.info I had been in the New World for 12 years. Lotte slowly recalled. His mind was gradually pulled back to six years ago: by the time society had developed, the birth rate of children had dropped to nearly zero. Because in this era, even if ordinary human beings do not cultivate, their normal lifespan can reach 200 years old, and enjoying life has become the consensus of all mankind. Most humans treat children as a burden, so nurseries came into being. Not only does it adopt abandoned children, but it also regularly matches randomly with sperm and egg banks, taking on the responsibility of nurturing babies and young children to ensure the human population. It can be said that most children who grow up in kindergartens are born orphans. Lotte is also a child bred by random pairing, and it is only one of them who performs very ordinarily. Although the nursery has the responsibility of raising and educating these children, the platform for the children to truly gain knowledge is Skynet. Skynet is a super network in this era, and there will be 3 options after access, namely the living area, the study area, and the game area, of which the game area is the new world. In the new world, the exercises can be learned and exchanged, while the other two areas are not allowed to appear by design. Children under the age of 12 can only enter the study area and the living area, and children over the age of 12 can enter the 3 major areas including the study area, the play area and the living area. Because children in this era are relatively precocious, they basically have a mature mind at the age of 12; So at that time, children before the age of 12 were mainly learning knowledge and exercising their bodies, while children aged 12 and above would enter the local spiritual school, and at the same time, they would be able to enter the new world and begin to really get in touch with spiritual practice. It's just that the cultivation exercises in ordinary schools are the most basic low-level exercises.

As children with ancient oriental blood in their bodies, they generally begin to understand and learn all aspects of knowledge from the age of 6, wait until the age of 8 or 9 to start exercising, and do not begin to practice the basic exercises through Skynet and school until the age of 12. At that time, Lotte was a very ordinary child in the nursery, and he was also preparing for his future life in this usual way, but compared to other children, he preferred to read, whether it was to introduce the cultivation of exercises or the history of cultivation, as well as scientific and technological knowledge, and even various ancient books that could be seen, etc., he could calm down and study slowly.

One day, Lotte discovers a special secret book in the small library of the nursery school. The reason why it is special is because this secret method is dedicated to cultivating spiritual power, but its name is quite bluffing, it is called the Dafa of Dividing the Soul. Generally speaking, there are more exercises for cultivating spiritual power in the ancient Western cultivation system, because for them, the strength of spiritual power is directly related to their future perception and cultivation of magical power. Before the age of 12, they were mainly cultivating spiritual power. The benefits of becoming mentally strong are also obvious, because the corresponding person's memory and comprehension ability will also improve to a certain extent. Lotte was also very happy when he saw this soul splitting Dafa, and for him who likes to read, it is also a great temptation for his mental power to become stronger. Because the secret method is not the category of the exercise and is not regulated, and Lotte learned from the book that the ancient Western cultivation began to cultivate spiritual power before the age of 12, which also made Lotte have no scruples. So, he began to cultivate this secret method alone. The idea of this soul splitting Dafa is also quite unique, it is not simply to strengthen spiritual power, but to divide spiritual power into two. Spiritual power is not a drop of water or a stone, you just divide it into two piles. It's like a living little bug, and if you want to turn it into 2 smaller bugs, it's as difficult as you can imagine. However, this soul division Dafa is divided into 9 layers, and each layer must be differentiated once. According to the author of this book, one can comprehend the true path of the soul by reaching the ninth level. At that time, you can divide your soul into countless parts and sacrifice countless clones. However, even those who wrote the book had only cultivated to the 8th level. But this layer of separation prevented him from comprehending the secret of the soul, and he was very sorry. These are obviously very far away, and Lotte just treats this exercise as an ordinary spiritual power cultivation method and tries to start cultivating.

It's strange to say, Lotte is like a fish in water when he cultivates this soul division Dafa, and he has cultivated to the first layer in less than a month, barely able to divide his spiritual power into two. On that day, Lotte had a whim, thinking that Skynet was supposed to pull people's spiritual power into it, and if he took the initiative to separate half of his mental power, would it be okay. So, he decided to conduct an experiment, and the results showed that his idea was really right. Since then, Lotte has been living his eerie Skynet life. Others will inevitably go dormant after entering Skynet, and he still maintains his awareness of the outside world, and can even do some simple actions. Sometimes, he even studied in Skynet while reading books in reality. Lotte feels that his happiness has increased exponentially, and he is happy every day. It was also during this time that he, who had only had a nickname, officially registered the name "Rakuten" for himself. (In many cases, a person's name can tell if he or she is from a nursery, because they have a variety of names, unlike normal people who have a surname.) )

However, life is always full of surprises. Within a few days of the happy days, Lotte fell from heaven to hell. On that day, he logged in to Skynet as usual, ready to start learning new knowledge, and as usual, he left half of his mental energy in reality. On the login screen, he stumbled to the light gate in the game area. As we all know, children are not allowed to enter the play area until they are 12 years old, and Lotte knows it, but he wants to see how this light gate will react.

Lotte was actually still a little nervous, so he stretched out his right hand and reached out to the light gate. Sure enough, when he tried to reach inside, a continuous force came from the light gate, making it impossible for him to enter. Seeing that there was no danger, Lotte suddenly became playful and began to try various methods to impact the light gate. One moment punching and kicking, the next putting his face on it, and the next leaning his back against the light door. Just as he was having fun, a huge suction force suddenly came from the light gate, which instantly sucked him in. And Lotte only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he lost consciousness. What he didn't know was that less than 2 seconds after he disappeared into the light gate, an old man with white hair appeared on the login interface. I only heard him mutter, "Oops! The body has just been impacted, and although the time is short, something is still wrong. This kid is really, how can he compete with this door! After being silent for a long time, he said again: "But it's strange, this is the power of rules, there should be no exceptions!" In any case, he can't be allowed to have an accident. This door is a two-way identification, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get out in a few years. ”

When Lotte wakes up, he finds himself in a very strange place. It is like a fairyland, with spiritual plants all over the place and mountains full of spirit animals. But he wandered around the grand fairy palace on the top of the mountain for several days, and he didn't see a single person, and there was no way down the mountain. Lotte realized that there was something strange here, and after several attempts, he initially determined that he had entered the new world, but he couldn't log out, and finally Lotte had to go with the flow and live in Asgard. Fortunately, there is no shortage of resources, exercises and books in this fairy palace, and I don't know if it is in the dark or by chance, Lotte found a book of exercises that is very suitable for his own cultivation, and he practiced on his own. At that time, Lotte felt that someone kept telling him in his heart that only by practicing according to this exercise could he get out of the ascension to heaven. Therefore, except for when Lotte is bored and changes his mood, he looks at the books collected in Asgard Palace in various aspects, and uses it for cultivation at other times. Time is slowly passing away in such a monotonous life, but Lotte's cultivation is soaring like a rocket. In just twelve years, he actually cultivated to the peak of Jindan. You must know that although he is in the new world, the rules of cultivation in this world are basically the same as those in the real world. This speed is absolutely unprecedented. Of course, it is also because this place is special, and there are all kinds of endless resources to assist in cultivation, so that you can cultivate so quickly.

In this world, with the growth of cultivation and knowledge, he realized that it was not his own spiritual body that entered the game, but his own soul, to be precise, his own heaven and earth. Fortunately, he was greedy for fun at the beginning and left half of his mental power outside, otherwise he would have died at that time. The two souls of heaven and earth are completely separated from the body, and they are 100% ghosts. Spiritual power is not the soul, but it is one of the outward manifestations of the soul, which is closely intertwined with the soul. The existence of this half of spiritual power also shows that one's soul has not come in 100%, and may have left a very small little bit outside. And it was this little bit that gave him hope. As his cultivation grew, his soul gradually became stronger. At this time, he vaguely felt the origin fluctuation of his soul in reality. After several efforts, he was finally able to connect with the soul in reality, just like being able to control a clone. (The difference between puppetry and doppelganger is that puppetry is controlled by a person's psychic power, and a puppet cannot go too far from a person.) However, the doppelganger technique is controlled by the human soul, and even if it is hundreds of millions of miles away, it can be contacted at any time. Under normal circumstances, people only cultivate to the stage where the Yuan Infant is out of the body, and use the Yuan Infant to implement the doppelganger technique. Yuan Ying is also a powerful soul in nature. )

As Lotte's cultivation strengthened day by day, he was gradually able to control his body in reality for a longer period of time. It wasn't until a few days ago that he finally cultivated to the peak of Jindan, and made some preparations, so that his soul was completely freed from the restrictions of Skynet today, and returned to his original body, so that the entire soul could be complete in his body.

For Lotte, the new world has a special meaning, after all, he has lived in it for 12 years, and he has also learned a lot of knowledge and exercises. However, he still hasn't figured out how he was sucked in by the light gate in the first place. If he is allowed to enter Skynet again, he will definitely refuse, he really doesn't have the courage, who knows if he will be locked up for another 12 years, 20 years, 100 years, 200 years?

Although the soul in the new world has returned to its original body, the soul that is too powerful needs to run in with the physical body for a long time in order for the body to withstand this soul, and more importantly, let the body keep up with the cultivation progress of the soul, which is once and for all. Lotte thought that this process was just the equivalent of redoing the exercises for him, and it should be very fast. Well, cultivation resources would be a big problem. It's okay to slow down, you can have a more solid foundation, and you can spend more time learning other things. Lotte thought, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and gradually fell asleep.
