"Initiating otherworldly summoning. Creating the official game website. Setting up game forums. Selecting the first batch of otherworldly disciples. Distributing virtual helmets for login..."
It took six full hours before the system completed the summoning process!
All 88 players were selected, and the virtual helmets were successfully delivered.
He Yiming glanced at the somewhat rudimentary website the system had automatically created. After hesitating for a moment, he typed in a bold headline:
"The World's First Fully Immersive VR Game: Reversing Heaven: Demon Immortal Open Beta Begins!!"
"Follow Sect Leader He Yiming, embark on an absolutely realistic cultivation journey, and start your path to defy destiny and become a demon or immortal from the Yanhuang Sect!"
"Friendly Reminder: Only 88 spots are available for the beta test!"
With He Yiming's input, the text was uploaded to the website.
Afterward, He Yiming used the system to record a short promotional video.
The footage began with a sweep of the ruined sect, lingered briefly on the majestic mountains and rivers in the distance, and finally settled on He Yiming himself.
He Yiming unleashed two flashy spells—flames in his left hand, lightning in his right—followed by a dramatic line:
"Seeking demons? Becoming an immortal? This sect leader awaits your challenge!"
The video cut off immediately after his words.
After uploading the video, the system handled all the remaining details.
Now, all He Yiming needed to do was wait—for the 88 players to log in!
Blue Water Star, Year 2032.
"Huh? A virtual helmet? Open beta for Reversing Heaven: Demon Immortal?"
In a cramped rental apartment, Ding Hao stared at the virtual helmet in his hands, confused.
The hardcore gamer had received an unexpected delivery. Out of curiosity, he signed for the package.
Upon opening it, he found a virtual helmet that, in terms of craftsmanship and detail, far surpassed any currently available model.
This immediately piqued Ding Hao's interest.
Years ago, technology emerged allowing players to use brainwave detection to play games as if dreaming. Virtual reality headsets flooded the market, each boasting hyper-realistic worlds.
But upon trying them, players found the experience laughable.
Bugs everywhere, clunky designs, and poor controls made the games no better than the outdated VR tech from a decade ago.
It was clear that true virtual technology still had a long way to go.
Yet this new helmet claimed "100% simulation." Could it really deliver?
Curious, Ding Hao checked the official website. It was as barebones as it got, and while there was a forum, not a single post had been made.
But after watching the promotional video, Ding Hao was utterly stunned.
"The graphics are insane! Is this even possible? Not even ten-way 8080TIs could handle this level of detail!"
Excitement surged through him as an inexplicable pull compelled him to lie down, put on the helmet, and press the login button.
The next moment, Ding Hao opened his eyes and was completely shocked.
He found himself standing midair, with countless runes revolving beneath his feet.
Before him floated a mirror, reflecting a figure almost identical to himself.
"Welcome, first player!"
"This game uses real appearance capture. Default pain sensitivity is set to 5% but can be adjusted. You may slightly modify your appearance before setting your name. Once done, step through the mirror to begin your legendary cultivation journey!"
A slightly robotic voice echoed in his ears.
"Holy crap, what kind of tech is this? This is incredible!" Ding Hao was thrilled.
Just the login interface alone outclassed every VR game he'd ever played.
Without hesitation, he tweaked his appearance to look slightly more handsome, then quickly entered his chosen name:
ID: Niu Roumian
With a step forward, he passed through the mirror.
Meanwhile, in the Yanhuang Sect, He Yiming stood calmly on the plaza outside the grand hall, watching a faintly shimmering vortex.
Suddenly, the vortex trembled, and He Yiming's eyes lit up.
"They're here!"
"The players are arriving!"
Through the vortex emerged the first figure.
He Yiming immediately checked their attributes.
ID: Niu Roumian
Cultivation: Body Refinement Stage 1
Talent: None
The system displayed only three attributes, but each was concise and valuable.
In this cultivation world, the realms were divided into Body Refinement, Spiritual Vein, Foundation Establishment, Sea of Wheels, and Heavenly Core.
Higher realms were beyond He Yiming's current reach.
He himself was only at the peak of Body Refinement Stage 10!
One by one, figures began stepping out of the vortex, all looking bewildered and incredulous.
He Yiming observed that every player had the same initial cultivation—Body Refinement Stage 1—and no innate talent or special constitution.
It seemed the system, still in its early stages, could only create the most basic bodies for the players.
"Holy crap, is this AR+VR+SR tech? This is insane!"
"SR my ass! Can SR replicate the feeling of a breeze? Or simulate pain?"
"This has to be alien technology. There's no other explanation!"
"Oh my god, this game is amazing! The realism is out of this world!"
"The graphics make Unreal Engine 6 look like garbage. And I can even feel the wind! Ah, this is heaven! Is this what they call a gentle breeze caressing your face?"
"Yo, Sect Leader is even hotter than in the video! Damn, I think I'm crushing on him!"
All 88 players were astonished by their surroundings. The scenery was far beyond anything a simulation could produce; it felt entirely real.
After admiring the environment, their attention turned collectively to He Yiming.
Dressed in a green Daoist robe, with a calm and serene demeanor, he exuded an air of refinement and charisma.
"Wow, so this is what a sect leader looks like. Absolutely stunning!"
Some players pinched their faces and winced at the slight pain, while others picked up stones, threw them, and marveled at the crisp sound upon impact.
One even jumped into the air and landed heavily, feeling a slight numbness in their limbs, overwhelmed by the sheer realism.
"Holy crap, this game is mind-blowing!" Niu Roumian's eyes darted around excitedly, taking in the lifelike surroundings.
"Am I really playing a game? Or did I actually transmigrate?"
He even scratched his foot and was shocked that it tickled—down to the last detail!
Scanning the players, He Yiming counted exactly 88, not one less.
As expected, the system's "carefully selected" first batch of players lived up to its claims.
Every single one had logged in without hesitation!
Now, it was time for He Yiming to make his move.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward confidently.
