The Infinite Terror had been one of Sui Xiong’s old plans.

However, at that time, he had considered introducing a virtual reality game that borrowed from famous film and television animation works, but he hadn’t thought about the problem of overcoming fear.

But now, he thought that the biggest benefit of his plan was that it could give ordinary people the opportunity to experience real danger and relieve their fear in real life through the illusions.

Of course, this was useless on Earth. Most of the people who could play games on Earth lived in peaceful countries with high incomes. What they needed was not to relieve their fear, but to use the fear to gain excitement. But in this world, excitement was everywhere. Instead, the precious experiences were more in line with the needs of the people in this world.

Sui Xiong always thought of one thing—before he had time travelled, he had heard of the introduction of the virtual reality game system, but the system was expensive and required a relatively large room in order to use it well. Sui Xiong had been somewhat wealthy, and it had been okay for him to buy a game system, but he hadn’t been able to afford a large home, so he hadn’t been able to play the new game that had blown up all over the internet until he time travelled.

So in this world, if conditions permitted, he wanted to introduce the new system.

Were the conditions permitting?

Of course.

Sui Xiong was strong enough. Over the years, he had gained a deeper understanding and analysis of the knowledge of clergy and domains he had received from the Sun God. Even if he didn’t use his Divine Power to simulate, he could create a virtual world for ordinary people to play through with his own understanding of the world’s laws.

As for equipment, after years of accumulating skill, he was able to create more efficient, safe, and stable gaming equipment at a lower cost, and he didn’t need to create a server by himself.

Divine Power was indeed a very wonderful thing. Sui Xiong didn’t understand computer engineering and coding languages, but he had created a powerful game server with Divine Power. It was placed in a corner of the God’s Kingdom and looked like a hill, but its practical ability… Anyway, it could create a virtual world over sixty miles in diameter. Even ordinary adventurers couldn’t distinguish which one was the real world as long as they didn’t try to destroy the world.

If he could have returned to Earth, he would have brought this game server back and introduced it to lead a new era.

After years of continuous publicity and influence, there were many stable game enthusiasts in the Main Plane. They had money and leisure time, but they lacked strength. They were willing to experience life in a safe way even if it would cost them a little money.

Sui Xiong intended to make a big move this time. He would not only introduce them to try the new game, but also spread the experiences of the adventure game as far as he could, spending decades to make the Church of the Void Mask affect the whole region, and its citizens, regardless of their gender and age, would have a chance to experience the game at least once.

If people experienced real danger and fear for once, they would understood how silly their usual worries and illusions were. Then they would cooperate with Sui Xiong to distribute the game and change people’s attitudes toward fear.

After making his decision, Sui Xiong began to design his game system. He chose a group of people who had previously been adventurers in the followers of the God’s Kingdom. When those followers heard that their monarch would borrow their adventuring experiences to help people overcome their everyday fears, they expressed their full support. Based on their experience, Sui Xiong designed more than a dozen of experiences for the game, aiming at defining the topography and landform of each region, as well as local customs and conditions.

In these adventure experiences, players would change into adventurers and experienced the real terrors hidden in the darkness, including jungles, cemeteries, and other dangerous places. At the same time, there would be enough protection equipment and prompt hints in the game so that they could discover and detect the differences between real terror and the terrors they felt in their usual lives.

As for whether it would have bad effects on players, Sui Xiong said that his own Divine Power would protect them so there wouldn’t be any problems. He wasn’t some mad scientist who would waste thousands of lives in order to pursue his ideas.

A scale as small as thousands of lives was not enough, and Sui Xiong didn’t care about it at all. What he wanted to do was to shake the whole world. In this world, Gods didn’t care about the lives and deaths of mortals. If one wanted to attract all the Gods’ attention, one would have to kill two Gods in one breath. Of course, it would better for them to kill hundreds of Gods, like Sui Xiong had last time.

This showed that Sui Xiong had gone beyond the realm of ordinary terrorists, who merely wanted to kill pagans or heretics in order to go to the heaven and enjoy happiness. However, he wanted to eliminate others’ chances at heaven when he killed them.

After six months of intensive research and development, Sui Xiong began to recruit game testers in the Void City.

Coincidentally, the two disciples of Leon Igor, the Archbishop of the Church of the Void Mask, were playing with their daughter in the Void City that day. It was rare for the couple to have a day off to talk with their daughter, who was gradually entering a rebellious period, and they played with the little Yue in the Void Mask Land—oh, she couldn’t be called “little Yue” because she was already fifteen years old.

“You’re so out of date! I’ve been tired of these things for a long time!” Yue was speechless at her parents. Two legendary masters who could fly away easily at any time were fascinated with children’s amusement parks. Why on Earth was that?

The roller coaster was a little high, but her dad could jump higher than it easily.

“Mom, you’re so dramatic! You couldn’t even catch a doll in the claw machine after so many times. Don’t tell me that you couldn’t even do this little task. If you pulled out your sword, wouldn’t you be able to kill even a mosquito?”

Acting! Acting! It was all acting! But the two acted so exaggeratedly that it made no real sense!

“I’m already fifteen years old! Don’t treat me like a child!” After a few hours, Yue couldn’t hold back her temper and said angrily, “And you’re overacting!”

The legendary couple looked at each other, but didn’t know what was wrong.

Looking around, weren’t everyone’s children having a good time?

While glancing around, Clito saw some clergymen dressed in the uniforms of the Church of the Void Mask were recruiting game testers on the corner of the playground. He was enthusiastic and pulled his wife and child over.

If that couldn’t satisfy his daughter, then he really had no idea what would.
