Chapter 1414: Chapter 1270: The Infinite Possibilities of the Spirit Realm!
And…
The Second Half!
Unlike the enthusiastic reaction that Lincoln had imagined, there was a moment of bewilderment.

As his voice fell, whether it was the audience at the press conference or the viewers in the live broadcast room, everyone seemed a bit dazed.
They were indeed very surprised.
— After being called the “virtual world” for so long, suddenly becoming “Spirit Realm” was unexpected.
But why “Spirit Realm”?
Of course, not everyone was completely at a loss.
The old professor sitting next to Super Tomato in the front row flashed a thoughtful expression in his eyes, then quickly nodded in understanding and applauded Lincoln.

Super Tomato immediately followed suit.
With someone leading the applause, the rest of the audience, though still a bit confused, clapped politely.
Applause spread from one person to the next until the entire conference hall echoed with clapping.
But Lincoln, standing on stage and seeing many faces blankly clapping, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
He shook his head to explain to everyone:
“This renaming is not just a simple name change.”
“‘Spirit Realm’ encompasses not only the familiar virtual world, but also some already existing areas with somewhat vague definitions—namely, places that have undergone mixed reality transformation.”
“With the gradual spread of hibernation technology, an increasing number of hibernators are emerging in society.
It is not enough to only perform mixed reality transformations at home.”
“Therefore, mixed reality transformation is destined to expand into the public domain.”
“These areas that have undergone mixed reality transformation are essentially in a state where reality and virtual overlap.
Such areas will henceforth be collectively referred to as Spirit Realm.
“To put it more simply: the virtual world is part of the Spirit Realm; the virtual world plus the real world are both part of the Spirit Realm!”
Lincoln continued with vigor, giving more examples—
“The first real Cloud Dream Theme Park—’Cloud Dream Amusement Park’—is a complete Spirit Realm.”
“The large city tourism project that Cloud Dream has cooperated on with various Daxia tourism bureaus is also upgrading various attractions into the Spirit Realm.”
“In time, traveling the whole country—or even the entire world—without leaving your home will no longer be a fantasy.”
“Within the Spirit Realm, there are no boundaries in the world!”
As Lincoln spoke, images of the mixed reality transformation projects from various large cities also surfaced one by one, visually showing the audience the blending of virtual landscapes over real objects, and the organic integration of the two on the screen.
His words finally dispelled everyone’s confusion, turning their thoughts toward the boundless world he described, which lifted their spirits.
The applause was now more than twice as loud as the confused clapping before!
But the old professor who had led the applause earlier was in disbelief:
“Travel the whole world?
Break down global boundaries?
How is that possible?”
Many calm netizens also spotted some blind spots:
“Stay at home and yet travel abroad for tourism and shopping?
No need for visas?”
“Will other countries agree to this?”
“I know Cloud Dream is awesome, but to this extent seems a bit too far-fetched, doesn’t it?”
“What three poles of the world!
I declare, from today onwards, there’s only one boss in the world!
And that’s Lincoln!”
…
Noticing the confusion among everyone, Lincoln thought for a moment and then added, “As for negotiations with other countries, you don’t need to worry about that.”
“We have already reached preliminary agreements with many countries.”
“In exchange, hibernation cabin production will increase again in the second half of the year, and export restrictions will no longer be as strict.”
— There would still be restrictions but they would be relaxed to a certain extent based on needs.
“Of course, this is only for countries with which we have partnerships.”
With that said, the netizens no longer doubted.
This was a technology that could eradicate incurable diseases and prolong lifespan; with such a trump card, what couldn’t be negotiated?
Moreover, in the eyes of various countries, connecting the world through the Spirit Realm could be a good thing.
With Lincoln dragging the entire world forward at breakneck speed, it seemed worse to be left behind by Cloud Dream and miss out on a new era than to worry about becoming too closely tied and having their rights eroded.
To call this agreement going with the flow would not be an overstatement.
Once netizens were convinced that this was indeed feasible, they couldn’t help but indulge in the future that would come after the completion of the “Spirit Realm” —
A blend of reality and virtual, where one could travel the world without ever leaving home.
You could also be in reality, yet see things that simply cannot exist in the real world.
Journey Prosthetic’s functionality, which was no longer limited to merely “finding one’s way,” and its augmented reality effects were set to be supercharged.
The future of life suddenly seemed to take on a sci-fi quality!
As if that wasn’t enough, Lincoln continued, “The [Endless Dream] project launched to enrich the Spirit Realm is no longer just a plan for the few.”
“During the server maintenance period, Cloud Dream’s servers have been updated.
Next-generation graphene chips have significantly enhanced server performance.”
“In the past, you might have been troubled by the fact that when you finally created something fun, but because it existed outside the System’s framework, you had to check on it daily.
If you accidentally forgot one day, the system would refresh and erase it.”
“But I can assure you all: from now on, this problem will be reduced by over ninety percent!”
“More powerful servers, allowing more creativity!
Less constraints!
More freedom!”
Lincoln solemnly announced to everyone:
“The future of the Spirit Realm will be co-created by all of us!”
Cheers instantly filled the entire network!
Everyone realized the limitless possibilities that the Spirit Realm possessed.
And the fact that they could all partake in the construction and growth of the Spirit Realm was truly exhilarating!
Just as their enthusiasm was reaching its peak, Lincoln suddenly said:
“The Game has been fully revealed, the virtual world’s renaming and plans following the rename have also been reported.”
“Thus, the Cloud Dream 2031 Global Press Conference concludes here!”
“Thank you all for attending!”
At the edge of the speaker’s podium, streams of cold fireworks burst forth, veiling Lincoln’s figure on the stage.
The giant screen above the podium dimmed, and one by one, the lights went out.
All signs indicated — the press conference had ended.
This abrupt conclusion left everyone a bit stunned.
But looking at the time, it was nearly two hours in, and the press conference was superbly rich in content, with a final announcement that was compelling enough.
No matter how you looked at it, this was a thoroughly complete and high-quality press conference.
So after a brief moment of confusion, the audience again applauded vigorously, thanking the conference with their claps, then began to stand up, ready to leave.
But—
Right after all the lights had vanished and they were submerged in pitch-black darkness, unable to see their own hands, Lincoln’s voice suddenly echoed again:
“I’ve finished talking about Cloud Dream, but if you’re not too busy, I’d like to take a bit more of your time.”
“Let’s talk about something else!”
“Snap!” A crisp snap of the fingers reverberated in everyone’s ears.
Light shone up in the darkness.
Looking around in surprise, they found themselves no longer in the conference hall, but outside, standing on the deck of a giant airship over 300 meters long!
By its design, it was identical to the airship that had once soared over Xiajing City.
But when they looked down, it was clearly not Xiajing City.
Only a few special attendees recognized this place at a glance—
The location of Asia’s largest rocket engine test site:
The Tongchuan Rocket Engine Test Site!
