Chapter 843: Chapter 843 – The Changes Brought About by the Magic Net
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was too much!
Feeling the actions of the World of Gods, the gods in the World of Gods were cursing in their hearts. Not only did the world cast a protective spell, it even weakened the other gods’ power to help the other party ascend.
How much effort do you need to invest to ensure the ascension is successful? Why didn’t you do the same to us when we ascended?
The gods felt the actions of the World of Gods, and their hearts couldn’t help but ache.
Of course, they had to because the scene in front of them was like the World of Gods rushing to feed them, worrying that they wouldn’t be able to ascend successfully.
When the other gods ascended back then, they experienced hardships, and endless risks were involved. But what about Hatim in front of them?
He was lying at home, waiting for the free meal from the sky. It could only be said that the encounters between people were greater than between humans and animals.
The gods sighed in their hearts.
Time slowly passed. More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the entire World of Gods once again shook.
A powerful aura swept in all directions, enveloping the entire World of Gods, causing the entire World of Gods to start cheering. A powerful High-Level Divine Power was born.
This was already the third High-Level Divine Power born in this era. And all of them were unfamiliar faces. The gods were already somewhat numb to this.
“I’ve finally reached the level of a High-Level Divine Power…”
Hatim stood up from where he was and silently felt the power on his body.
After ascending to the High-Level Divine Power, his appearance didn’t seem to have changed much. Only his eyes gradually turned golden, and there was an inexplicable aura on his body.
But in his body, there was a terrifying power brewing. The power from the Magic Net was continuously pouring into his body, making his power grow every moment.
This was also where he had the foundation and confidence to reach High-Level Divine Power in one step. As for the power of the Magic Net, it would continue to grow slowly with time.
The essence of the Magic Net was a network that existed with spiritual links. As long as the number of people using the Magic Net continued to increase, the power of the Magic Net would continue to increase, and the power that would be fed back to Chen Heng would also increase, reaching a higher level.
Therefore, the next goal of the Hatim was very clear. That was to continuously expand the Magic Net so that more and more people would use it. This was also a path that could theoretically expand indefinitely.
As the number of people using the Magic Net continued to increase, sooner or later, his strength would continue to expand. It was even possible for him to catch up to Chen Heng’s main body.
Thinking of this, Hatim could not help but smile. Then, he looked around. After observing silently for a moment, he fell into a deep sleep. His entire body merged into the Magic Net. And the influence of the Magic Net had just begun.
“The function is already very perfect…”
On the other side, Chen Heng had already tried to log into the Magic Net. The first time one logged into the Magic Net, the Magic Net would set a fixed area for the user to use according to the strength of the user’s spiritual power.
The usage of the Magic Net was divided into different levels. The most basic function could be used by everyone, as long as the user was an intelligent life form.
However, access to some higher and more profound areas, or even areas involving transcendence, had certain restrictions. And all of these were measured by spiritual power.
Generally speaking, the spiritual power of an intelligent life form could represent its life level. The transformation of a life form was necessarily all-around.
Even for knights who relied on their bodies to fight and kill, their spiritual power would not be weak as they grew stronger. It was just that they would be slightly weaker compared to a mage or wizard of the same level.
Of course, with Chen Heng’s strength, there was no limit. He could directly see through the bottom of the Magic Net.
After skimming through it, Chen Heng couldn’t help but nod. In his opinion, the Magic Net was quite simple at the moment. There were only a few functions inside, just those.
But these functions were enough for the current users. These functions included chatting, reading, and other functions. Some paid games were imported and modified by Hatim to accommodate the user’s needs.
Those games were all collected by Hatim from various worlds. A lot of content could meet a considerable portion of the requirements.
It was also very simple to access these contents. One only needed to pay to the Magic Net and could directly download it. The fee could be things like magic stones or spirit stones, or one’s mana or even life energy.
Just this alone made the design of the Magic Net more difficult than it seemed.
After all, the Magic Net was only a spiritual world. It was a lot of technical difficulties to absorb the mana and other abilities of the outside world and then download the content that only existed on the spiritual network.
Hatim also wanted to obtain the Magic Goddess’ Divine Spark first. It was to provide enough technical support for the Magic Net. If not for the technical support provided by the Magic Goddess’ Divine Spark, the Magic Net would not only be a chat forum at the moment.
Since there were paid games, there was naturally other paid content.
Chen Heng took a look. Other than paid games, there were also paid knowledge content, paid video content, and other forms of paid entertainment. Moreover, the contents were all quite rich.
These were all accumulated in the past by Hatim. Some came from other worlds, and Hatim himself arranged some. At this moment, all of them were uploaded to the Magic Net.
In the future, as the number of users of the Magic Net increases, to gain benefits, the users of the Magic Net will also package their knowledge and upload it to the Magic Net.
And for Hatim, this was equivalent to becoming stronger every moment.
The reason was very simple. The Magic Net was him. If the knowledge was uploaded to the Magic Net, it was equivalent to uploading then to Hatim.
It was as if he didn’t need to do anything. He just needed to build a simple platform, and he would be able to plunder knowledge and power from others continuously.
The key was that this was completely voluntary by others. There was no such thing as coercion.
Who could reason with this?
The spiritual power, magical power, magic stones, and spirit stones paid through the Magic Net would end up in Hatim’s pocket.
Perhaps the amount paid by the whole person was not much, but as long as it accumulated over time, it would be an extremely rich amount that the gods would envy.
This was equivalent to harvesting the masses to achieve self-accomplishment. More importantly, the Magic Net could even be used to harvest the world itself.
This was because the Magic Net had an unquestionable promoting effect on the world. It could help the world develop further and become more prosperous.
And during this process, the world would receive an endless stream of feedback. This feedback would also fall on Hatim, allowing his strength to increase slowly.
It was simply terrifying.
Chen Heng was speechless when he saw this. Before this, he felt he had already been ruthless enough, doing all sorts of bandit business. His strength was snatched from others, swallowing them one by one.
But now, it seemed he was nothing compared to the Magic Net.
If Chen Heng wanted to go out and snatch others and seize the other divine existences’ authority, he still needed to put in the effort to find a target, fight or scam the target. He would inevitably have to spend some effort to achieve his goal.
But what about Hatim?
He just needed to lie on the Magic Net and enjoy his achievements. In any case, as long as the world was not destroyed.
And as time passed, the power of the Magic Net would continue to increase, and at that time, its power would also continue to increase.
Chen Heng somewhat understood the thoughts of those gods. Even he would be full of envy for such a thing. If Hatim weren’t his avatar, even he wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to snatch the Magic Net from Hatim’s hands.
Fortunately, things hadn’t come to this point yet. Hatim was one with him, after all. No matter what happened in the future, it was a good thing. Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind as he continued to look in front of him.
The Magic Net in front of him was still rather crude. Hatim did not make intentionally perfect everything in the Magic Net but left space for the people after him.
All he did was provide a platform similar to a computer. As for the later software and other functions, he planned to leave them for future people to develop.
This was not only to allow future people to share some benefits from the existence of the Magic Net but also to allow the Magic Net to have more rich changes.
Anything that relied solely on one person would sooner or later go down a dead end. Although Hatim was confident, he could not guarantee that he would be able to know the preferences of the masses.
Rather than doing it himself and developing everything he wanted, it would be better to let the later generations perfect it and improve the function of the Magic Net bit by bit.
In this way, it would be of great benefit to the development of the Magic Net.
Chen Heng also agreed with this point.
After looking around, Chen Heng felt very familiar with everything around him. The only pity was that there was no shopping function.
There were too many technical difficulties in realizing this function. It was relatively easy to just pay for knowledge, but if one wanted to realize online shopping, a difficult problem would be placed in front of them.
How could they transfer things over to the buyers?
It was possible to send things over directly, but the consumption would be unbearable. If the price of online shopping were too high, then there would naturally not be too many people using it.
Thinking about it carefully, this function could only be done when Hatim became idle and then set up teleportation points in various regions of the World of Gods, establishing a logistics system that relied on the Magic Net.
Otherwise, the cost would be too high, and the number of people using it would not be many.
After surfing around the Magic Net and leaving some things behind, Chen Heng left. The things he left behind were not little and included all aspects of the knowledge he had learned. It was a rather rich amount of content.
Of course, they were all basic things and were only limited to the Fourth Rank. But it could also be said to be extremely rich. It was the most classic content. In the future, it will probably continue to flourish on the Magic Net.
After uploading the knowledge, a related prompt also said that Chen Heng could set the price himself. After Chen Heng simply finished the operation, he left and returned to the Hatim Kingdom, where he continued resting.
Time passed once again. In the blink of an eye, several hundred years had passed. Compared to before, in the next several hundred years, the entire World of Gods had undergone rapid changes.
The popularization of the Magic Net brought this about. If, in the past, the marks that Chen Heng spread allowed the gods that originally occupied the World of Gods to open their eyes and see the world, then the Magic Net that Hatimhad set up allowed ordinary people to open their eyes and see the world.
The world was closely connected because of the existence of the Magic Net.A war broke out tens of thousands of miles away, and the people of the World of Gods would learn about it the next day.
This was a unique scene, and it was also an unprecedented change. In this era, people discovered for the first time that obtaining information was such an easy thing.
Even the acquisition of knowledge was the same. The extraordinary beings were pleasantly surprised to find that as long as they paid a small price, they would be able to browse through a lot of information that used to be considered extremely precious to them.
There were tens of thousands of huge repositories of knowledge on the Magic Net, with knowledge of any system. Not only were there mages and knights, but there were also systems that originated from other worlds.
Mages, knights, Elemental Knights, elementalists, Beastmasters, Warlocks…
All sorts of job system information were easily accessible to them, making them unable to quit using the Magic Net.
Not only could extraordinary beings obtain the information they wanted, but even ordinary mortals could also pay something to obtain something that would be of great help to them.
For example, some information about farming, forging, and other aspects of knowledge.
In the past, these things were all secrets that belonged to others. They were existences that could be passed down as heirlooms by those families. Others couldn’t know about them.
But now, with the introduction of the Magic Net, these things are not valuable anymore. With the appearance of a large amount of knowledge from other worlds, these things were already common.
Even an ordinary farmer could easily obtain them, and many were even free. They only needed to browse through the advertisements for some time and pay an insignificant amount of spiritual power. They could obtain some currency to purchase the things they wanted.
This was simply the best for the vast majority of mortals. In the vast knowledge base, people had too much knowledge for the first time and did not know how to choose.
This was because there was too much knowledge in this knowledge base.
In addition to the first batch that Hatim uploaded, in the next few hundred years, a large number of users of the Magic Net also uploaded a large amount of their knowledge in sequence after realizing the profits from doing so.
