"It was a little dangerous..." After leaving that "higher-dimensional" universe, you felt a bit scared.

If you hadn't made any preparations and had entered the inner continent at a mortal level, you would have been torn apart by the high-dimensional suppression environment there.

You only dared to enter the inner continent after numerous experiments.

[This involves repeatedly descending upon his cultivation state of 30,000 heavens within the boundless void, severing one of his fingers—comparable to a true immortal of a hundred billion—and having his adopted son hold the severed finger while he uses his True Essence teleportation to enter the inner layer to check the effect.]

[Only after confirming there was no damage did they dare to enter in their true form.]

After all, you don't know whether the inner layer judges based on strength or whether one possesses the Dao principles.

[If it's the latter, no matter how powerful you are, you can't reach the combat strength of a cosmic lord in a higher-dimensional universe; you'll be killed by the rules.]

[This place is temporarily unconquerable. Grit your teeth and decide to leave first. There are three steps to advancing to a Perfect True Immortal, and you still have two to complete.]

[One is a system of 300 universes with different parameters; the current progress is 167.]

[Another point is that the cultivation system involves the authority of the nine current Dao Lords and one former Dao Lord (speculation).]

The only step you completed was achieving an average Dao seal quality above nine points.

[You've memorized the exact location of the higher-dimensional universe in your mind: 5e56 years from the Origin, with an offset angle of 187.411…]

"Damn it, why didn't you give a more complete answer? Giving such a broad range, who are you expecting to guess?!"

"I'll come back at least after I've gathered 299 extraordinary systems from different universes with varying parameters."

You turned and left.

"The grapes must be sour... No, it must be some special environment created by other Dao Lords or Dao Masters. I was just being wishful thinking, categorizing any slightly unusual place as an ancient relic!"

[At 10.25 million years old, you have arrived at a parallel universe.]

Millions of years ago, the two universes docked and, through a wondrous process, formed an extremely unique connection.

The two universes are named "Truth" and "Transcendental."

In the universe of truth, technology reigns supreme. Millions of years ago, all civilizations that reached a certain level of understanding and knowledge inexplicably acquired a crystal. They could modify this crystal to enter another world.

For example, there is a human civilization called "White Star".

After obtaining the crystal, the high-ranking officials of the Xia and Yin kingdoms on the white star began a series of developments related to it.

[A few months later, the five benevolent nations of White Star jointly launched a game, distributing game helmets to all citizens, allowing them to enter a 100% realistic alternate world.]

Experience a second life by adventuring, leveling up, and fighting monsters in another world, or by playing as a human from another world and participating in murder mystery games.

However, in the Super Profound Universe, many worlds have inexplicably seen a multitude of extraterrestrial demons. Some of these extraterrestrial demons appear out of nowhere and are impossible to kill or eradicate.

[Some extraterrestrial demons are even more terrifying, creating inner demon tribulations that can silently possess mortals and even powerful beings in their world, causing them to perform strange and bizarre acts, and even attempting to impersonate the deceased in their former appearance.]

[All the major civilizations in the Truth Universe have received a boost by playing games using crystals. Even after players become first or second-level transcendents in the "simulated world," their real-world counterparts are also enhanced from ordinary people to athletes.]

Many civilizations have fallen into a frenzy, with some even believing that the game represents an official connection between various nations and another world, suggesting that a great secret must be hidden behind the scenes.

In fact, that is exactly the case.

This is an invasion, a cosmic-scale invasion.

The technological level of the Truth Universe has reached its zenith, capable of using ultimate scientific power to manipulate the laws of nature, and even slowly edit the entire universe.

The civilization leaders seated on the nine thrones of truth activated the "Nine Staffs of Heaven-Severing," slowly shifting their own universes toward the adjacent, more profound universe.

The distance between these two universes was exceptionally narrow; they intersected in just a few hundred thousand years.

[Under the influence of the Nine Staffs of Heaven-Slaying, the True Universe launched an invasion, beginning to seize the energy and principles of the opposing universe through the mutual compatibility of cosmic membranes and the harmonious adjustment between Dao principles.]

The Nine Seats of Truth did not choose to monopolize the spoils—they couldn't possibly consume such a large portion—but instead developed "Dimensional Crystals" to distribute to other less advanced civilizations in their universe.

They intend to unite all civilizations in the cosmos for a joint invasion; the crystal is merely a transit point. The true force lies with the countless beings within the universe of truth.

[Primitive people could embed crystals into their headdresses and dream of battling in a world of the super-universe, while technological civilizations like Huangxing could leverage the high compatibility of crystals to embed them into servers, creating VR games for everyone to enjoy.]

Every time you enter the game, every time you cause killing or cultivate within it, or even just interfere with the normal development trajectory of the opposing universe, it will cause an erosion, plundering strands of energy and even the laws of the universe.

However, several hundred years later, the top powerhouses in the Super Universe began to retaliate, triggering various upheavals of "games invading reality."

"That old codger on the throne of truth is truly inhuman."

[You click to exit the game, blink your eyes, and then casually grab something.]

[A soul was created from a small device inside the gaming pod. The soul took the form of a simple, rustic country boy; being a soul, it was, of course, naked.]

He was curled up in excruciating pain. You used your mental energy to slowly replenish and repair him, and after a while, you healed him. His soul entered a dormant state, but his spirit still twitched from time to time.

You sighed, repeating what you'd said before: "That's why they're truly inhuman."

You recall the game you just played.

The game you just selected is "Dating Simulator." On your planet "Balk," dating simulators are among the top three most realistic games and are loved by many players.

"So they've opened up to 18+ now, right?"

Each dating simulation features a completely different female character, a brand new script, a new world, and a new identity. It's like playing in a world where you can't save and start over!

The game's objective is to romance a randomly matched female character within this world within one month.
