176: Void

The white-robed young boy bowed slightly, "Esteemed Controller, greetings. My name is Xu Ling, and I am the Administrator of the Virtual God Realm."

Wu Ning raised an eyebrow, "Xu Ling?"

The white-robed young boy immediately explained, "Esteemed Controller, Xu Ling is my name. I am not a truly existing being, but rather the World Will evolved from the entire Virtual God Realm. My mission is to monitor everything within the Virtual God Realm and to manage and maintain its operation..."

Wu Ning nodded slightly, his gaze carefully appraising the white-robed young boy. In his opinion, this white-robed young boy should be the 'Spirit Artifact' born from this Virtual God Realm.

Or, equivalent to a virtual World Heavenly Dao.

No wonder he could directly detect his presence.

After all, the entire Virtual God Realm was equivalent to his body. He controlled every corner of the Virtual God Realm, and everything was under his gaze, so he could naturally easily discover Wu Ning's presence.

Wu Ning possessed the highest control authority and could change any rules or settings within the Virtual God Realm. In fact, these were all control permissions for this white-robed young boy.

Under the same authority, other highest authorities (Controllers) could not know of his existence through this white-robed young boy.

"Esteemed Controller, is there anything I can do for you?"

Xu Ling asked respectfully.

Wu Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me the identity information of the other Controllers?"

"I apologize, Esteemed Controller. The other Esteemed Controllers have set their information to be confidential. You do not have the right to view any of their related information."

Xu Ling said expressionlessly, his tone calm.

Wu Ning nodded slightly; this result was not beyond his expectations.

After two seconds of contemplation, he continued, "Aside from the already public information, please also set all my other related information to the highest level of confidentiality, especially regarding my identity as a Controller. It's best not to let anyone else know of the existence of the fourth Controller!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ling replied respectfully.

"Also, tell me about the functions and uses of this ancient bronze hall..."

...

At the same time.

The great battle that occurred in Taichu Ancient City quickly spread throughout the Virtual God Realm, causing a huge uproar and directly exploding.

In a short time, countless people across the All Heavens Battlefield learned that the True Martial Emperor Clan of the Taichu Ancient Realm possessed a terrifying Prodigy Dao Child, an ultimate Prodigy.

Instantly killing a Quasi Immortal Emperor with a single glance, and being less than five hundred years old—these two pieces of information, combined in one person, quickly caused a huge stir in the Virtual God Realm.

Of course, hardly anyone believed it.

Having the strength to instantly kill a Quasi Immortal Emperor expert before the age of five hundred was simply too astonishing.

It was practically challenging everyone's understanding.

Even though the news about the Wu Clan Dao Child was well-substantiated, with many people testifying, without witnessing it firsthand, no one dared to believe it.

In fact, many people scoffed, believing it to be nothing more than a rumor created by the people of the Taichu Ancient Realm.

Because most of this information was spread by people from the Taichu Ancient Realm.

"Less than five hundred years old and possessing the strength to instantly kill a Quasi Immortal Emperor? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"What 'First Prodigy of All Heavens'? The Wu Clan Dao Child crowned himself, didn't he? I think 'First Thick-Skinned of All Heavens' is more like it."

"Less than five hundred years old and possessing the strength to instantly kill a Quasi Immortal Emperor? Put some effort into your storytelling. How can you believe something so absurd? I don't believe it, anyway. Anyone who believes it is a fool!"

"Heh heh, when I was five hundred years old, I had just broken through to the True Immortal Realm not long ago, which was already a rare Prodigy talent in our Tianyang Immortal Court in a million years. How could that Wu Clan Dao Child be able to slay a Quasi Immortal Emperor at five hundred years old? Is he a Reincarnation of a supreme mighty being?"

"If the news is true, then it's highly likely that the Wu Clan Dao Child has undergone Possession!"

"Haha, this Venerable One is Wan Tianhong from the Cangyuan Ancient Realm, a Quasi Immortal Emperor. I have already sent someone to issue a challenge to that Wu Clan Dao Child. I want to see if he can instantly kill me with a single glance!"

"This Young Master, Yuan Wudao from the True Spirit Upper Realm, is merely a Quasi Immortal Emperor. I hope to challenge the Wu Clan Dao Child to a battle!"

"And me, Si Xingchen from the Xuanwu Upper Realm, a Quasi Immortal Emperor..."

The Virtual God Realm was bustling with excitement. At the same time, a large number of young Prodigies from other ancient cities in other worlds set off for Taichu Ancient City, hoping to expose the rumors about the Wu Clan Dao Child.

In reality, exposing rumors was a small matter. What they valued more was the opportunity to strongly defeat Wu Ning under the gaze of countless people, thereby rising to prominence by stepping on his reputation and making themselves famous throughout the All Heavens Battlefield!

One must know that there were countless Prodigies in the All Heavens Battlefield, and only a small handful of ultimate Prodigies standing at the Peak could make a name for themselves.

With such a great opportunity to gain fame, many Prodigies were tempted and couldn't sit still, rushing to the Taichu Ancient Realm for fear of being preempted by others.

Based on this idea, they even hired people in the Virtual God Realm to create momentum for Wu Ning, testifying to his powerful strength, thereby making his title of "First Prodigy of All Heavens" seem more real and credible.

...

In the ancient bronze hall.

Wu Ning was rapidly browsing a huge light screen projected in the hall. A vast amount of text flickered, displaying all the information that could be viewed in the Spirit Communication Mirror.

It was like a virtual projection screen.

In fact, all information was stored in this ancient bronze hall. Those Spirit Communication Mirrors were merely reading mediums, capable of establishing a connection with the ancient bronze hall, reading the information stored within, or uploading some information to the ancient bronze hall.

To him, this ancient bronze hall was a super-large server, and items like the Virtual God Token and Spirit Communication Mirror were terminal devices.

Although it was a Xuanhuan world, it had similarities with the technological civilization of his previous life.

Based on Xu Ling's explanation and demonstration, Wu Ning had already become extremely familiar with the various functions of this ancient bronze hall.

In short, anything that could be done in other parts of the Virtual God Realm could be accomplished within this ancient bronze hall.

Here, he could monitor any corner of the Virtual God Realm and view the information of everyone beneath the Controller.

Coupled with his Controller authority, he could even change all the structures and rules of the Virtual God Realm.

Doing whatever he pleased, like a deity.

However, Wu Ning could not understand the profound runes on the golden obelisk, and currently could not modify the underlying rules of the Virtual God Realm. The main reason was that he didn't know how; for now, he could only change some existing settings through Xu Ling.

This was roughly equivalent to administrator privileges, allowing him to restrict other low-permission individuals from entering the Virtual God Realm, or even directly ban them.

At this moment, Wu Ning watched the streams of information appearing on the light screen, his expression calm, without the slightest change.

They were just small fries, not worth his attention at all.
