Opening of the Virtual Mall

Within the Divine Kingdom, the sun in the sky still hung high, casting down boundless radiance.

Across the vast and boundless land, there were no plants or animals, making it appear exceptionally desolate. The Divine Kingdom was still expanding and changed every day, its edges spreading outward at all times. So far, the entire continent of the Divine Kingdom had reached a diameter of seven hundred and fifty million kilometers—such a massive area was terrifying.

Yet Xiao Hen still felt unsatisfied. A diameter of seven hundred and fifty million kilometers seemed unremarkable in the current Super String Space, which was nearly a hundred light-years in diameter. It was like a small island in the ocean—no, even smaller than that. This fell far short of his expectations.

The future continent of the Divine Kingdom had to reach a diameter of at least one light-year, and the radiation range of the Divine Kingdom must undoubtedly encompass the entire Super String Space.

A figure appeared high above the Divine Kingdom, materializing out of thin air without any fluctuations. This figure was precisely the avatar that had returned from the Prada Galaxy.

"Next is the opening of the virtual mall, something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time!" Xiao Hen smiled, glanced at the continent of the Divine Kingdom, and then raised his head to look at the distant starry space. There floated a giant continent of a similar kind, though its size could not compare with the Divine Kingdom, measuring only tens of millions of square kilometers.

His figure flickered and he had already appeared on this continent of tens of millions of square kilometers. Looking out, this land had become exceptionally prosperous. The entire continent had been transformed into a city—yes, a super-giant city measuring forty-five million square kilometers. Such a thing was unimaginable on Earth, but to the current Xiao Hen, it was nothing. He hadn’t even done it himself; instead, he had instructed the Koolm people to transform this continent into a massive super city. Now, the transformation of this city was nearing its completion.

"Not bad, not bad! This city is big enough!" Xiao Hen nodded, then descended, landing on a street to begin inspecting the super city.

The city was composed of ultra-modern skyscrapers, filled with the sci-fi aesthetic of the interstellar era. Coming from the hands of the Koolm, it naturally carried some of the technological and artistic flair of the Koolm people. However, with the participation of Number One Avatar, special consideration was given to the fact that this city was mainly intended for the transformed angels of humanity, so there were also many user-friendly settings. Of course, if there were any inappropriate aspects in the future, they could be suitably modified.

Tall buildings with over a hundred stories were everywhere, forged entirely from super alloys, with various beautiful high-tech glass and other metal materials installed on the exterior. There were no rigid street lamps on the streets, only floating signal lights. This city did not have vehicles of any size; angels could fly, and even if consciousness entered this place, it would manifest the appearance of the true body to fly and travel, with those signal lights serving as guidance for flight.

Of course, a super city of forty-five million square kilometers was still too vast, so every single street had a teleportation plaza used for shuttling between various streets.

Yes, this extremely prosperous place before his eyes was merely a single street of this super city. The entire city possessed a total of thirty-six thousand streets, intersecting horizontally and vertically, and every street featured countless shops, trading posts, appraisal offices, auction houses, and so on.

The entire city was manufactured using high technology—that was just one point. The most crucial thing was that the continent where the virtual mall was located fell within the radiation range of Divine Power. Everything here was under Xiao Hen’s control, and a single thought could determine countless matters.

"Since everything is almost ready, let’s prepare to open it!" His thoughts were connected among all his avatars. Through Number One Avatar, he learned that everything here was completely finished, and the concluding touches did not affect the operation of the city in the slightest. Thus, Xiao Hen used the Main God Avatar, the Main Godhead, along with all the Hearts of the Angel, to send out a message.

"Ding! The virtual mall is open. All angels can project their consciousness into the virtual mall!"

"Host, please note that the purpose of the virtual mall lies in transaction. Any angel can become a merchant and also a buyer. Almost anything can be traded; as long as it passes the mall’s appraisal, it can be evaluated and sold."

"Host, please note that the virtual mall is within the domain radiation range of the Lord of Time and Space’s Divine Kingdom. It is extremely close to the Divine Kingdom and under the gaze of the Lord of Time and Space. No deception or trickery can be carried out. Transactions in the virtual mall are guaranteed by the great Lord of Time and Space. Once anyone is discovered using improper methods, the light penalty is the revocation of the Heart of the Angel to observe subsequent conduct, and the severe penalty is the destruction of body and soul, never to be reincarnated! The system reminds the Host once again! Do not doubt the methods of the Lord of Time and Space!"

"This opening of the virtual mall will receive angels from the heavens and myriad realms, countless planes and universes, numbering up to thirty-two billion. The preliminary reception work within the city will be handled by high-simulation robots, and later taken over by the angels! The maintenance and reception work of the city will be rewarded with Divine Power Value!"

"Ding! The virtual mall link channel is officially open!"

In an ordinary, low-level ordinary world—this was merely a planet still in a feudal society—there existed a powerful empire, and the empire had an empress.

This empress was none other than an angel.

This world was very low-level, and there was only a single angel. This angel was originally a young woman of supremely beautiful appearance, who caught the eye of the empire’s emperor, who forcefully tore apart her happy family and demanded to summon her into the palace.

Yet right in the middle of this process, the Heart of the Angel descended, and the woman underwent earth-shaking changes. The power brought to her by the Heart of the Angel made her the most powerful person in this world. Furthermore, because she could fly and use Tier 1 Divine Arts, she was worshipped by the mortals of this world, and major factions continually came to submit.

Loathing the actions of the original empire, the woman spent three years overthrowing that corrupt and ancient empire in one fell swoop, establishing a new empire and ascending the throne as empress.

At this moment, within the imperial palace, the young empress was originally reviewing memorial tablets when her expression suddenly froze, clearly having heard the prompt tone of the Heart of the Angel.

"The virtual mall has opened? This is simply wonderful!" The empress’s face lit up with joy. For over three years since obtaining the Heart of the Angel, she had advanced from a Two-winged Angel to her current Four-winged Angel status, and her strength had undergone a dramatic transformation. A single person was enough to suppress the entire empire—no, it should be the entire world.

However, unlike those ignorant mortals, she knew that this world was vast indeed. There was only one angel in this small world, and she had felt lonely, yet deep down she knew that the angels of the heavens and myriad realms were numerous, all of them lucky ones who had gained the favor of the Heart of the Angel just like her. She had long wanted to communicate with those angels.

Having obtained all the martial arts manuals of this world, she was extremely confident in her own strength. Now, being a powerful Four-winged Angel, she was far from comparable to those Two-winged Angels.

Now the virtual mall had finally opened; this was something she had been eagerly anticipating for a long time.

"Hmph hmph, I am an empress now anyway. Trade? All the items in my entire empire belong to me. Earning Divine Power Value is simply a matter of turning a hand!"

The empress spoke to the Angel System in her mind: "Enter the virtual mall immediately!"

"Confirming entry into the virtual mall, consciousness projection commencing!"
