Chapter 664: The Rebellious Immortal Gate
The next day.
On this day, the entire Sang family rarely gathered in the hall.
Everyone was called over by Bai Ming, but until they arrived, no one knew what it was about.
Finally, when everyone had arrived, Bai Ming slowly revealed his purpose.
“……A new game?”
Upon hearing this, Meng Qiyan, who had been excited, immediately let his head droop in disinterest: “What? You gathered everyone just for this?”
“Why do you need us to develop a new game? Aren’t your game department employees getting paid for this?”
“That’s different,” Bai Ming said seriously. “This game is a completely new attempt—virtual dream technology.”
Everyone exchanged glances.
“Thanks to the inspiration from the Dream Court, I’ve been wanting to try building a virtual, yet incredibly realistic game world based on spiritual energy during this era of abundance.”
“This idea was proposed long ago in the world I lived in before, but it has always been just a fantasy due to technological limitations.”
“And now, in this world of cultivation with spiritual energy, we finally have the technology to turn this fantasy into reality!”
Although Bai Ming was excited, others clearly didn’t understand much.
“What does virtual dream mean?” Gu Yingmian asked, sounding a bit confused.
“Let me give you the simplest example,” Bai Ming projected using his communication device. “As a Great Ascension cultivator, don’t you find it hard to find a place where you can freely unleash your power? Even when you train, you’re always cautious.”
“But in the Dream Court, even if you unleash your power to the fullest and turn the whole world into chaos, come the next day, everything will return to normal.”
“Unfortunately, to enter the Dream Court, you have to master the extremely difficult ‘Dream Realm Dust’ technique, and not everyone can learn it.”
“And what we’re trying to do now is artificially build a dream court that everyone can enter!”
Hearing this, everyone started whispering among themselves.
“So, you’re saying,” Tang Yubbing pondered, “that in this artificial dream court, anything imagined could actually be realized?”
“Exactly!” Bai Ming thumbed up. “That’s the biggest charm of this project.”
“As long as there is enough spiritual energy for construction, in this artificial dream court, you can freely play any role you want, even create a whole new world to live in!”
Could they recreate the Water Moon Sect inside? Master Yu Xia was already daydreaming.
“This game, will it be more fun than ‘Original Immortal’?” Hua Jianglian asked curiously.
“Of course!”
Bai Ming immediately started with enthusiasm: “This game project was proposed to expand the saturated market share of ‘Original Immortal.'”
“Trust me, on the day it launches, all of ‘Original Immortal’s’ data myths will be refreshed!”
Upon hearing this, not just Hua Jianglian, but Long Huan and Si Jingzhu’s eyes lit up with anticipation.
“But what does this have to do with us?” Huo Ningxue puzzled while holding her belly. “We don’t make games.”
“This project is still in the initial stages, without a complete concept, and we haven’t even thought of a game name yet.”
Bai Ming shook his head. “And out of selfishness, I really want our Sang family to have a say even in the game.”
“So now, I want to gather everything from the game name to NPC design from our Sang family.”
Upon hearing this, Little Ying You suddenly raised a hand: “I have a thought! How about calling it ‘Abyss Realm: Moon Arch Railway’?”
“Not catchy,” Little Lonely shook his head. “Let’s call it ‘Abyss Realm Zero’?”
“Um, how about ‘Abyss Tide’? ‘Abyss Realm Files’? ‘Return to Abyss Realm 1999’?”
“… What kind of names are those?”
Meanwhile, Shi Qingyan started murmuring to herself: “Can we set our own NPCs…? Can I even make another me in the game to be an NPC?”
“That does sound pretty interesting.”
Yan Rouwan looked gloomy: “I went through so much to create the Abyss Realm, and now you can even create a virtual Abyss Realm?”
“You’re cooler than an all-rounder.”
Throughout it all, Young Master Sang stayed silent.
Zhang Xiaoying seemed to notice Young Master Sang’s mood and quietly asked, “Husband, did you understand?”
“I did.”
Young Master Sang shrugged: “This idea isn’t new in our world, but if it could actually be done, it would be interesting.”
“Then why does it seem like you’re feeling a bit dejected?”
He didn’t really know how to describe this feeling.
He suddenly reminisced about his previous life as a game planner.
Although, he felt a little ashamed. After joining the company, he mostly got paid to do nothing and tried to get through his tasks without any enthusiasm. Any work that didn’t make money was a waste of life—that was his life motto.
But actually, before sending out his resume, Young Master Sang did have a gaming dream.
He wanted to create a game that belonged to his imagination.
A game with no heavy burdens or bleak realities.
Only lighthearted daily life and the purest feelings between people.
Seeing Young Master Sang lost in thought, Nian Nian suddenly chimed in casually:
“Speaking of which.”
“Do you remember ‘Peaceful Floating Life Sword’?”
Young Master Sang paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but smile.
“Yeah.”
“How could I forget?”
… That was the first time he infused his ideas into a game.
Although it was far from his initial dream of creating a game just for himself.
But every time he thought of the name “Peaceful Floating Life Sword,” Young Master Sang felt an extraordinary feeling.
His creation truly appeared in the game.
His thoughts resonated with countless players.
In the end, that sword technique bore witness to a difficult time in his life.
“Isn’t that great?”
Zhang Xiaoying chuckled: “What you couldn’t accomplish in your last life, you should just go for it in this one.”
“… Huh?” Young Master Sang was taken aback.
“You mean, let me participate in making this game?”
“What does it matter? Bai Ming definitely won’t refuse,” Nian Nian glanced at Bai Ming in the distance, “And you aren’t busy with work now; why not find something you enjoy to do?”
I must admit.
Nian Nian’s suggestion really stirred something in Young Master Sang.
In his previous life, he was already striving to survive with everything he had.
He had no right to talk about dreams or feelings.
But this time.
He seemed to have a real chance to fulfill a past regret.
“Alright.”
Young Master Sang made up his mind, and his eyes shone brightly.
“This game.”
“Let’s call it ‘The Rebellious Immortal Gate.’”
