【Summoning from another world … Creating a game … Launching an official website … Game forum online … Shortlisting the first batch of disciples… Distributing VR helmets and login devices … 】
After six hours of waiting, the system concluded the first batch summoning.
All 88 players had been shortlisted, and the VR helmets were delivered.
He Yiming looked at the slightly crude official website created by the system. After a moment of hesitation, he wrote a line on the blank space left for the title of the game.
World’s first all-virtual reality online game- “ Heaven-Defying Devil Immortal” now officially open for beta-testing!
Follow Sect Master He Yiming and start your journey as the disciples of the Yan Huang Sect in the absolute real world of cultivation. Choose and be whoever you want to be, reach the summit and become a Demon through cultivation!
Friendly reminder: Only 88 slots available for the first beta-test!
And so, with He Yiming’s direction, the words automatically appeared on the game’s official website.
After giving it some thought, He Yiming recorded a small video via the system.
In the video, the frames spanned across the dilapidated ruins of the sect, and briefly paused at the incomparably magnificent mountains and rivers running down the mountain at the far distance, and finally panned the frame onto himself.
He Yiming raised his hand and said, “Want to make the Devil beg? Want to be an Immortal? I’ll wait and watch how you fight for it!” Then, he abruptly ended the video.
He clicked ‘upload’ to complete his end of the work.
All the other complicated technical work would be handled by the system.
Now, all he had to do was wait for these 88 players to log in!

Earth, Year 2032
“VR helmet? What?” In a rented apartment room, Ding Hao looked at the VR helmet in his hand and was a little dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, he received an express delivery whose contents were listed as ‘VR helmet’ in the package. As a veteran resident, he immediately signed the form and accepted it out of curiosity.
When he opened the package, what he found was actually a VR helmet. Regardless of the workmanship or the aesthetic, it was much better than the currently popular versions of VR helmets!!
This made Ding Hao look forward to it.
A couple of years ago, the technology that could read brain waves and allow people to play in their dreams had come into the market: VR technology.
All kinds of VR helmets were released back to back on the market. There were various kinds and each of which promised to provide a ‘real virtual world’ experience!
However, when the players actually experienced those helmets, they soon found out that the promises and the hype were all bogus, and they were all trash like the technology from a decade ago.
With a bunch of bugs and a few other models which failed in in-game control stability, most of them were mere brags! Obviously, it would take a long time before the VR technology would be perfected.
But this VR helmet actually dared to guarantee 100% real simulation!
Really?
With heightened curiosity, Ding Hao logged-in to the game’s official website, only to find it bare and crudely built. Although the site had a forum, it didn’t even have a single post.
However, Ding Hao was stunned when he saw the video that He Yiming had uploaded.
“This is simply too sky-shattering! Is this even real? Even if I have the latest graphic video card, it won’t be able to replicate this quality right?” Ding Hao was utterly shocked!
An indescribable impulse made Ding Hao lie down, put on the VR helmet, and press the power button.
In the next moment, Ding Hao opened his eyes to take a glance at his surroundings and was simply stupefied by what he saw!
He had stepped into the ‘void’ with countless runes swirling around him, and facing him was a mirror.
Shockingly, there was a figure that resembled him in the mirror.
【Welcome, Player 1】
【The game will use a real-world simulation paradigm. The pain setting will (by default) be set to 5% and can be later adjusted at the player’s prerogative. In addition, the player can alter his appearance to an extent. Once the character name is inserted, the player won’t be allowed to change it. Once the player steps into the mirror portal, you will be able to start your legendary journey in the world of cultivation! 】
A mechanical voice rang out.
“Oh my God, what kind of technology is this? It’s so OP!”
Ding Hao was so excited.
Just this login interface was far better than all the VR games he had played!
As a result, Ding Hao quickly adjusted his appearance. He made himself a little more handsome, and he casually picked up his name.
【ID: Beef Noodles】
As Ding Hao took a step forward, his body entered the mirror…
At the same time, He Yiming stood quietly in the square outside the Great Hall of the sect, looking at a slightly illusory vortex in front of him.
Suddenly, the vortex began to tremble. He Yiming’s eyes began to light up!
“It’s happening!”
“The players are here!”
Under He Yiming’s gaze, a figure walked out of the vortex.
He Yiming could see the person’s attributes with a glance.
【ID: Beef Noodles】
【Cultivation: Body Forging – First Stage 】
【Talent: None】
There were only three attributes displayed, but they were all very valuable attributes, it was that simple and straightforward!
The cultivation realms in this world were divided into Body Forging Realm, Spirit Veins Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Sea Wheel, and Heavenly Pills Realm!
No matter how high one’s cultivation level was, He Yiming couldn’t reach it.
He Yiming himself was only at the peak of the Tenth-stage of the Body Forging realm!
Following the first figure, many figures soon walked out of the vortex. Each of them seemed dumbfounded as if they couldn’t believe their own eyes.
He Yiming looked at them. They were all at the First-stage of the Body Forging realm, and they were all fairly ordinary. They didn’t possess any special talent or constitution.
It seemed that the system had just recently activated, as its functions weren’t good enough. The bodies of these players were all of the lowest level.
“God! What kind of technology is this? AR+VR+SR? So awesome?”
“Can we fart in 3R? Can it simulate a breeze? Can it stimulate pain?”
“What kind of technology is this? Did aliens develop this?”
“Aiyo, this game is simply divine. The degree of realism is just amazing!”
“This scene alone has managed to crush Illusionary 6 Engine’s games to the ground! This game also gives a life-like tactile feedback experience. I can even feel the breeze! Ah, so comfortable!”
“Brother Ming is much better looking than in the video. Damn, what do I do if I fall for him?”
—
All 88 players looked at their environment in shock, because the place they were in didn’t really feel like a simulation being fed to them via the virtual helmet. It was simply all too real!
After they were done taking in the novel scenario, the players began to look at He Yiming.
An Azure Daoist robe coupled with his delicate and handsome face and his inexplicable aura that was calm and still as water, he had an aura of a soft blowing spring breeze.
As expected of the Sect Master!
How handsome!
Some players even pinched their faces.
Damn, it hurts a little!
Some of the players picked up small stones and tossed them far. The stones landed at the distance, making a clear sound exactly like in reality.
There were even some players who tried jumping and landing heavily on the ground. They felt their hands and feet go slightly numb from the impact … their faces were filled with shock.
Ding Hao looked around at the scene that was exactly like a demonstration from the video. He was really excited.
Had he really just logged-into a game? Was the theme of the game set to emulate real transmigration?

He Yiming counted the number of players.
As expected of the people chosen by the system, all 88 players had entered the game.
There really are a lot of them!
It seemed that the system was reliable and the information about the carefully selected group of players were true!
At the very least, these players didn’t care about time and all of them had entered the game!
At the very least, the players didn’t seem to care about the play-time duration and had promptly logged-in.
At this moment, it was up to him to perform! He Yiming calmed down, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
