Chapter 1631 Mr. Huang Sha Reveals the Truth of the Virtual World

While waiting for Mr. Huang Sha to respond, Huang Yi arrived at the top level of the Holy Temple of the Dragon Clan.

From here, one could easily see the World Tree on the Fertile Plains Continent, its enormous trunk standing like Optimus Prime between heaven and earth, with its lush leaves disappearing into the horizon.

Huang Yi had already appointed Ganges as the administrator of the World Tree to manage the billions of creatures, since the World Tree grew from his saplings.

Kid, on the other hand, was designated as the gardener of the World Tree, responsible for monitoring its growth status.

Now, there were fewer people in the Central Continent. Many players had gathered on the World Tree and were considering moving there to live.

Building houses on the leaves, one branch is a street, one limb is a city, players perch like Little Elves between the leaves, breathing the dense nature’s spiritual energy.

Currently, there are four Phoenixes nesting on the World Tree, and some Dragon Clan members have also settled there, with billions of creatures connected to the World Tree.

With the World Tree, the entire world has become vibrant, with prosperity everywhere.

Huang Yi even speculated that when players want to ascend to the divine, they might climb the World Tree like Barbarian God·Lietian to enter the Heaven Realm.

Just then, a pair of slender, white hands embraced Huang Yi from behind, and a soft body pressed close against his back.

"Brother Yi." Qin Shiyu’s voice rang from behind, and even her heartbeat could faintly be felt.

Huang Yi held her hand, turned around, and embraced her, carefully examining her face and jokingly said, "Why are you still calling me Brother Yi? You should be calling me hubby!"

"You’re so cheeky!" Qin Shiyu giggled, playfully punched Huang Yi’s chest, then leaned in to kiss him.

"Oh dear, my eyes!" Suddenly, Xiao Chunzi’s playful voice rang out.

Huang Yi turned around and saw Xiao Chunzi standing not far away, her hair in pigtails, covering her eyes as if she had seen something inappropriate for children.

She seemed to have grown taller, with a slender waist and long legs, and at her age, she was maturing from a little girl into a beautiful young woman rapidly.

"Aren’t you supposed to be in class?" Huang Yi asked sternly, displaying brotherly authority.

"I, I wasn’t feeling well, so I took a leave." Xiao Chunzi stuck out her tongue, with her small hands removed from her eyes.

Qin Shiyu turned around, smiled at Xiao Chunzi, and opened her arms, saying, "Come here and let sister hug you!"

"Mm!" Xiao Chunzi bounced over, leaping into Qin Shiyu’s embrace, affectionately resting her small face against her.

At this moment, warm sunlight poured through the window, turning their hair golden, and gentle breezes rustled their clothes, with radiant smiles blossoming beautifully.

Huang Yi leaned against the window, basking in the morning sun, watching their playful interactions, feeling an unprecedented tranquility within.

"[System Prompt]: You have won the Biggest Event Award of the Fourth Annual Gala and may make a wish to Era of Corporation’s President Mr. Huang Sha. Would you like to meet Mr. Huang Sha now?"

Just then, a system prompt pulled Huang Yi from this rare moment of warmth.

"I’m going to see Mr. Huang Sha now!" Huang Yi said to Qin Shiyu and Xiao Chunzi, then chose to agree.

Suddenly, Huang Yi found himself in a familiar place.

Ahead was a courtyard surrounded by white walls, with a circular archway in the center covered in moss, its lintel carved with four ancient and rustic characters—Courtyard of the Pantheons.

Huang Yi stepped forward, passing through the archway and entering the Courtyard of the Pantheon.

Amidst the scenery of chirping birds and fragrant flowers, Mr. Huang Sha stood by the pond next to a rockery, holding a handful of fish feed, feeding the goldfish in the pond.

"You had a very warm moment just now!" Mr. Huang Sha turned his head to look at Huang Yi.

"Indeed, lately I’ve been battling, surrounded by blood and corpses, and it’s been a long time since I felt this kind of warmth." Huang Yi nodded.

Mr. Huang Sha smiled faintly, tossing the remaining fish feed into the pond, speaking softly: "Being with the one you love is the most wonderful feeling in the world. Feelings are quite magical; when you kiss her, the soft touch from your lips activates your senses; when you smell her hair fragrance, your sense of smell is awakened; when you hear her laughter, it stimulates your hearing... all of these senses come together to form your feelings, and what’s most important for a person is the feelings within."

Mr. Huang Sha spoke as he headed towards another archway opposite, saying, "You haven’t really explored this Courtyard of the Pantheon, have you? Let’s take a good look around. This generation of the virtual world is coming to an end, and you’ll need to come here to see me once more. At that time, I’ll tell you everything. Of course, Sharp Sword will also be here; you two are the most outstanding individuals of this generation of the virtual world. I don’t know what choice you’ll make, but I do know Sharp Sword’s choice."

"Choice? What are we choosing?" Huang Yi asked, keeping close behind Mr. Huang Sha as they walked out through the opposite archway.

Upon exiting, the view expanded wide, revealing a huge lake, with clusters of green lotus leaves floating along the shoreline, a breathtaking sight.

"Let’s leave future matters for the future. I know what you have come to ask today. I’ve already known about your conversation with the Ice Queen through the system. I can tell you some things, but I can’t guarantee that everything I say is the truth. What is true, and what is false, you’ll need to judge for yourself." Mr. Huang Sha walked leisurely along the lakeshore, saying: "You were entrusted by the Ice Queen to ask me about the purpose of the virtual world, right?"

Huang Yi nodded: "Yes! Actually, I sensed long ago that the purpose of the virtual world’s existence didn’t seem as simple as you all said; there must be deeper intentions."

"Since you’ve sensed it, then you must have had some guesses. Share your boldest guess."

Huang Yi bit his lip, tentatively asking: "Is the virtual world somehow related to the World Federation?"

"Haha, the World Federation is irrelevant; it has nothing to do with them." Mr. Huang Sha stopped walking, gazing intensely at Huang Yi, "Do you think, what’s true, what’s false? Or rather, what’s real, and what’s illusion?"

Huang Yi bit his lip, abruptly realizing the difficulty of this question, unable to answer.

Mr. Huang Sha chuckled: "Indeed, this question is hard to answer! You can ponder this question further when you return, and tell me your answer next time we meet. Today, I can reveal a secret to you."

"Oh? What’s the secret?" Huang Yi immediately held his breath, not daring to blink his eyes.

Mr. Huang Sha pursed his lips, slowly uttering a sentence—

"Actually, everything you see in the virtual world is true."
