Chapter 2 Simultaneous Time Travel, Perfect Fit
With a thought, Li Yuan's consciousness appeared in a vast and boundless dark space.
Looking around, there seemed to be countless silver specks of light in every direction.
At this moment, he found himself in a silver sea of stars!
Among them, two stars stand out from the rest.
Compared to other stars, they emit a more dazzling light, are much larger in size, and seem to be expanding continuously.
This is Li Yuan's secret weapon, a secret he has never revealed to anyone.
Since he first entered this silver sea of stars, he felt that his comprehension was increasing little by little.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to integrate a large number of martial arts manuals several years ago, thus creating his own internal energy cultivation method.
The true energy cultivated using this mental technique is extremely explosive and scorching, as if it is constantly exploding and burning.
Therefore, Li Yuan named it "Burning Heaven True Qi".
This true energy has another characteristic: when released outside the body and "diluted" to a certain extent, it can form a spherical "domain" centered on him.
The size of this domain is directly proportional to the amount of true energy he releases.
Within this area, his diluted true energy will slowly attract the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), increasing the total amount of true energy.
After realizing this trait, Li Yuan began to repeat the cycle of "releasing true qi to expand the domain → absorbing sufficient heaven and earth energy → contracting the domain to retract true qi".
This significantly boosted his internal energy, causing his strength to grow rapidly.
However, his domain also causes increasing damage to creatures within its range over time.
In order to quickly improve his strength, and also to avoid accidentally hurting others, Li Yuancai, after careful consideration, became the "hikikomori" he is today, someone who doesn't let anyone approach him.
Although doing so might make people look at him differently, compared to the positive benefits of improved strength, a few rumors are nothing.
At the same time, this was also to protect Li Yuan himself.
He didn't believe that there weren't Emperor Qing's spies and informants in Prince Jing's residence.
Li Yuan could tell whether it was better to "make Emperor Qing think he was behaving strangely and had mental problems" or to "make Emperor Qing know that he had created a technique that could quickly improve strength and that he had the potential to become a grandmaster."
If someone imagines that Emperor Qing, who can ruthlessly scheme against and manipulate even his own son as a pawn, would show "family affection" to a nephew who might threaten him, then he must be out of his mind. No normal person would have such a thought.
As I said before, before he becomes a Grandmaster or even surpasses a Grandmaster, Li Yuan doesn't want to attract the attention of Grandmasters.
……
Looking up at the two increasingly bright silver stars, Li Yuan suddenly had a thought.
Although his comprehension, wisdom, and understanding seemed to be constantly improving, he always felt that this was not the true power of the Silver Star Sea.
At the very least, it's definitely not the full power of this cheat.
At that moment, he suddenly had a realization: today, he would be able to witness the true power of this cheat!
That's right, today!
Do not!
It's now!
In an instant, the two already bright silver stars suddenly expanded and burst out with even more dazzling light, looking like two silver suns!
The next moment, the scattered silver starlight condensed into two illusory figures in front of Li Yuan, and quickly solidified from the illusory.
One of them was wearing a black athletic short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with clearly visible muscle lines all over his body, making him look like a sculpted statue.
The other person was wearing a blue coat and had very clear and innocent eyes.
Although their clothing and demeanor were different, the three of them looked quite similar, as if they were the same person who grew up in different environments.
The three exchanged a glance, and instantly, as if thinking in unison, exclaimed, "We'll time travel at the same time!"
Immediately afterwards, each of the three Li Yuans present had the memories of two more Li Yuans appear in their minds.
If named after the worlds they came from, the three would be Li Yuan from Joy of Life, Li Yuan from Kengan, and Li Yuan from Wasteland.
Li Yuan from Joy of Life goes without saying.
The man in the black short-sleeved shirt and shorts was none other than Li Yuan from the world of Kengan Ashura.
He was originally a secret disciple of the "Dragon Fist" school, an ancient Eastern power, and went to Japan for study and exchange after reaching adulthood.
He happened to save Hiyama Shunka from an assassination attempt and helped her deal with all her relatives who coveted her position as company president.
After that, she participated in underground fighting competitions as a fighter for Ruoying Life.
Li Yuan, who is wearing a blue jacket, comes from the world of Wasteland Online.
He was among the first players in Vault 404, and he had just finished dressing and stepped out of the incubation chamber.
After organizing the memories of the other two Li Yuans, Li Yuan from Joy of Life smiled and said, "Although we don't come from worlds like 'Dead or Fire,' thinking about it carefully, the current situation isn't bad."
Kengan Lee Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, although the power levels of our three worlds are not very high, we can effectively complement each other and will not have too much conflict due to the different world rules."
Wasteland Li Yuan also spoke up: "What's even better is that all three of our worlds have nuclear energy. Although the upper limit of this energy is only at the star level, it's enough for the early stages. I imagine that more people from different worlds will join us in the future, working together to improve ourselves!"
The three exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding unspoken, and then simultaneously extended their hands, overlapping them.
The most basic "spirit, energy, and vitality" goes without saying. Beyond that, everything else—memory, abilities, talents, and so on—flows among the three of them, all shared and superimposed.
The one who improved the most was naturally Li Yuan from the Wasteland.
Having just stepped out of the incubation chamber for the first time, he was essentially a blank slate, no different from an ordinary person.
Now, having received knowledge and power from Li Yuan of Joy of Life and Li Yuan of Fist of the Gods, it can be said that they have taken a big step ahead of other players from the very beginning.
The second biggest booster was naturally Kengan Lee Yuan.
Despite being a secret disciple of the Dragon Fist school, his martial arts skills are of an extremely high standard.
However, as the saying goes, "Practicing martial arts without internal strength training will ultimately lead to nothing."
The original Kengan world did not have anything like internal energy or true qi.
Now that he has returned to the Kengan world, he can be considered a "sage".
As for Li Yuan from Joy of Life, although Li Yuan from Wasteland did not improve him much except for some basic physical and soul power, Li Yuan from Kengan was of considerable help to him.
If we say that Kengan Lee Won "practices martial arts but not internal strength training," then he is "practices internal strength training but not martial arts training."
Over the years, he has devoted almost all his time to improving his internal energy, while he has spent very little time on other external skills, martial arts techniques, and combat experience.
Now, the emergence of Kengan Lee Won has timely filled this gap in his knowledge.
Although these "shortcomings" are still far behind other "strengths".
Moreover, after returning to the world of Joy of Life, he will need to "localize" the relevant elements.
But no matter how you look at it, it certainly saved him a lot of time.
Under the glow of countless silver stars, the three Li Yuans chatted amongst themselves, brainstorming and discussing how to enhance their strength and their future development direction.
Driven by their shared mindset, the three Li Yuans were completely at ease with each other and wholeheartedly planned for their own future.
Their relationship transcends friendship, transcends family and partners, transcends bodies and limbs, transcends cells and...
They are the same person, they are Li Yuan!
Although they came from different worlds and grew up in different environments, their ideas did not conflict; in fact, they quickly reached a consensus.
In the future, at any time, we must vigorously develop ourselves to be stronger, more expansive, and with higher potential!
……
……
Wasteland Online World.
In an unassuming room, five culture chambers simultaneously unlocked and opened their semi-transparent doors.
Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, sat up in the incubation chamber, and took deep breaths while moving his body.
Sight...touch...smell...hearing...taste...
All five senses are present!
"Holy crap! This is amazing!"
"Really?! I thought it was a joke."
"OMG! This is completely immersive!"
"Has technology advanced this much already? Sword Art Online really exists?!"
The four players, besides Li Yuan, had just opened their eyes and sat up in the incubation pod when they began to exclaim in admiration.
At this moment, Li Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Hey guys, who's who? I'm 'Wai Fang Li Yuan,' everyone in the herd calls me Li Yuan."
"I'm Lao Bai! Time flies!"
"I am a gale! A Force 8 gale!"
"Fang Chang!"
"Night Ten!"
The first place where the game Wasteland Online was mentioned was in a group chat called "Bull and Horse Club".
At that time, a member of the group nicknamed "Light" introduced and recommended this fully immersive game to everyone, saying it was "100% realistic, with everything just like the real world and a 1:1 time flow."
At first, all the group members thought this guy was joking and telling a story.
Until... five people clicked "pre-order" on the game's official website and actually received that black game helmet.
The five chosen players discussed the matter in a small group chat, and ultimately decided to give it a try and put on the helmets after the game was activated.
Then, with my eyes closed and open, I came into this world!
"Logout button! Is the logout button still there?!"
Just as someone was making a racket, the door to the room suddenly opened.
A mysterious man wearing a blue coat walked in from outside.
