These people, as high-ranking officials of the Federation, were living too comfortably.

In fact, Feide Huayin, who processed the most information, handled no more than 10 million events in ten years.

In Yan Xia's opinion, this was almost like a vacation.

As the true leader of the Federation, his own processing volume far exceeded this standard.

The tasks given to the five people now were only one-fifth of his own.

In other words, all five people combined only did as much as he did alone.

And he had been handling this scale of events for over 100,000 years.

Even subtracting the years when he had countless avatars, it still exceeded 100,000 years.

Ignoring the shocked five, Yan Xia himself left the conference room and began to process the information.

Ella suddenly appeared in the office, her snow-white long legs propped on the desk, and said to Yan Xia, "Yan Xia, work-life balance is the best. You haven't had a good look at the Federation after the All-Out War Era, have you?"

He really hadn't.

But Yan Xia wasn't in the mood.

"I played for a long time when I had countless avatars, there's no need to look around anymore."

He entered workaholic mode.

Ella pouted in anger.

"The last time we went shopping was 48,273 years, 4 months, 18 days, 13 hours, 48 minutes, and 11 seconds ago!"

Yan Xia thought about it; it had indeed been a long time.

"Then let's create another avatar. There's not much to shop for here in Guangdun City."

As the central hub of the Federation, Guangdun City not only had few streets but also very few virtual worlds. The games available were only single-player works, and one had to play them secretly.

Power and enjoyment must be separated; if you want power, you cannot have enjoyment.

However, correspondingly, under such strict standards, it was relatively open for officials to make money; officials were allowed to do these things, but the benefits obtained could only be enjoyed after retirement, or by their families, while they themselves had to remain in Guangdun City for a long time.

This was a means of balance.

Ella was also somewhat dissatisfied with this, but it knew that this was probably Yan Xia's greatest concession.

"Alright then!"

Ella left, and only the sound of Yan Xia working remained in the office.

After a few hours, the others became somewhat frantic, pacing in their offices. Without discussing it, they all left their offices and went to Yan Xia's office to see what he was doing.

What they saw was Yan Xia working diligently.

Yan Xia also noticed them.

He thought that it couldn't be achieved overnight, so he would allow them some leniency for the first year.

He then sent messages to the few of them.

"If you can't finish processing, hand it over to me, but you must be diligent within this year."

"Power is not so easily obtained!"

...

On the other side.

Ella Host.

Ella looked at Yan Xia in a small cabin.

This was the consciousness separation machine, which divided consciousness into a primary consciousness and a sub-consciousness, also known as a mother consciousness and a child consciousness.

The primary consciousness could share information with the sub-consciousness, and this sharing was completely oblivious to distance. Although there was some delay, it was much faster than the speed of light.

A primary consciousness could split into multiple sub-consciousnesses, but it was best when only one sub-consciousness was split off.

Because the primary consciousness could not receive information from both sides simultaneously.

But Ella had its own method.

It only required that the sub-consciousness not share information, but instead, like countless avatars, the information would only reside in the sub-body, and then be merged upon return, which would work.

Ella was currently performing this operation.

Because the place it wanted to go was quite far, it separated Yan Xia's consciousness, put it into a box, then directly digitized the box and the consciousness information, sent it into a wormhole, and had the wormhole transport it to the distant end.

Shendu.

The Federation's largest virtual city.

In the vast Federation, with millions of Stellar Systems and tens of millions of Star Cities, a Star City that could be described as "largest" was absolutely enormous.

Shendu, relying on the Machine God, created a vast semi-virtual world, similar to the fantasy world advertisement that was broadcast in the elevator when फिलिस (filis) left the सोबो ला डुओ स्टार सिटी.

The world relied on a small amount of matter.

What appeared to be 1 ton of physical matter was actually only a few grams of true matter.

These few grams of matter were, of course, not ordinary matter, but rather small machines.

When a person touched something, these small machines would cover the touched area, providing a tactile sensation of a physical object.

Although it was only a few grams, it could actually provide thousands of tons of force.

Through this, a semi-virtual world could achieve the same volume as a world with actual mass only a few hundred thousandths of its size.

At the same time, this world didn't even need the concept of an "interior", so in reality, a Star City that originally weighed hundreds of billions of tons could be accomplished with only a few billion tons for a semi-virtual Star City.

Conversely, if it were a semi-virtual Star City weighing hundreds of billions of tons, it would actually be tens of millions of times larger than a typical Star City.

Shendu was such a Star City.

With a total mass of 38 trillion trillion tons, the entire world encircled a Star like a ring, with an area exceeding 9 trillion trillion square kilometers, nearly 2 trillion times the area of the original Earth.

As a ring-shaped city, its inner radius was 100 million kilometers, and its inner circumference was 628 million kilometers; its outer radius was 1.695 billion kilometers, and its outer circumference was 10.64 billion kilometers.

It was incredibly huge.

But in fact, there were not many normal people living on it; most were people from the virtual world, who didn't care whether there was any physical volume or touch.

"Is this Shendu?"

It felt like the distance was shrouded in clouds and mist.

As a metropolis, Shendu's urban area was, of course, immensely vast; one could not see its end at a glance.

Yan Xia was also visiting for the first time.

Most of the houses here were relatively low, with the tallest being no more than a hundred meters, and only a small number of buildings exceeding ten thousand or a hundred thousand meters.

He stepped on the ground.

"It's a bit magical."

Although he knew how the underlying technology was implemented, he still felt it was magical.

As the leader of the Federation, Yan Xia did not understand every corner of the entire Federation. For example, he had never heard of Shendu before.

The things here were incredibly novel to him.

Ella ran over from the side, holding two cloud candies.

They looked like cotton candy but were lighter, actually made from a sweet-smelling gas.

Logically, gas cannot be perceived by the tongue, but the human taste organs are not only the tongue but also the nose.

With the assistance of the tongue and nose, people can experience a rich variety of flavors.

Cloud candy relies on stimulating the nose to allow people to perceive its taste.

Ella bought human cloud candy, and there were also cloud candies for other races, in great variety.

Yan Xia chose an orange-yellow one, which had the flavor of a fruit called 'Yangliguo', very unique, Yan Xia had not tasted it before.

"As a semi-virtual world, many things can actually transform into each other, like this cloud candy."

Ella smiled and tapped the cloud candy. The cloud candy instantly transformed into a real cloud, then landed at their feet. Yan Xia was pulled onto the cloud, and the cloud flew up, carrying them into the air.

This reminded Yan Xia of a classic masterpiece he had almost forgotten.

In mid-air, other people were also riding clouds, indicating that this was not Ella's trick, but a special feature of Shendu.

Someone nearby wove a cloud into a net, cast it out, and caught a bird. The bird was colorful and beautiful. That person plucked a tail feather from the colorful bird and inserted it into their body, turning it into a wing.

With the help of the wing, he left the cloud and flew high.

On the other side, someone caught a fish similar to a pufferfish. That person blew a breath into the fish's mouth.

The fish turned into a giant balloon, and that person hung the cloud on the fish balloon, flying higher like a hot air balloon.

Someone else's cloud started to rain, and the raindrops refracted a rainbow bridge. That person jumped onto the rainbow bridge and actually walked on it as if it were solid ground.

"Shendu is also called the Land of Dreams. Here, countless imaginations can become reality. Some are pre-set things, while others are everything temporarily created by the Machine God reading people's thoughts."

"Yan Xia, what do you want?"

"Me...?"

Yan Xia patted the cloud beneath him, and the cloud turned into a white horse, descending on a staircase of white clouds.

It landed right in the middle of a lake.

The horse stepped on the water's surface. Yan Xia dismounted, picked up some water with his hand, and the water grew like a sapling, turning into a towering tree.

The tree bore a red fruit, which fell into Yan Xia's hand. Yan Xia instantly crushed it into a wrinkled skin, and a drop of blue liquid dripped from the wrinkled skin.

This liquid then dripped into the lake, stirring the lake water, transforming from small ripples into towering waves.

Below the clear water, more and more fish gathered, then leaped out of the water, constantly guarding the two people and one horse as they ascended back into the sky.

All the fish formed a giant bird that actually flew.

On the back of the giant bird was a small town, where people lived.

A person in a small shop called out to the two of them.

"Would you two like to experience the Ghost Market?"

Ella skipped with Yan Xia towards it. There was no food in the small shop, only a door.

The person opened the door, revealing complete darkness inside.

The two walked in, then paused in mid-air, and began to fall continuously.

Below them was an endless abyss.

After falling for a long time, a streak of black in the abyss suddenly crashed into the two. They closed their eyes and opened them again, finding themselves on a street.

Many transparent people walked on the street, like ghosts.

Everyone was walking in one direction.

Yan Xia and Ella also walked in that direction.

They walked onto a wide bridge, at the end of which a huge mass of mist continuously rose.

After walking for a long time, they realized it was a broken bridge. People walked forward as if dazed, until they stepped into the void and fell.

The falling people plunged into a large pot, where boiling water was cooking skeletons.

A hole broke in the large pot, and yellow soup poured out, forming a river on the ground, looking like the legendary Yellow Springs.

From behind them, a person ran, holding a frog in both hands.

Leaping from the broken bridge, the frog's tongue shot out, extending continuously into the sky, grabbing onto something unknown. The person swung away like on a swing.

"It truly is a magical place..."

"It seems to have everything!"

Yan Xia and Ella stopped at the broken section, looking down from above. A whirlpool appeared in the water of the pot, spinning continuously.

Ella gently pushed Yan Xia from the side, and he fell. As he fell, Yan Xia saw Ella also chasing after him, level with him.

With a splash, the two fell into the water.

Then they swam upwards continuously, and when they emerged from the water, what they saw was a blue sea and sky.

Not far from them was a beach, and both swam ashore.

Ella broke off a branch from a nearby tree. The branch turned into a spear, which it threw, and the spear pierced a fish.

The fish was very large, about ten meters long. The fish floated over, and Ella pulled it out of the water.

Ella pulled off a fish scale. The fish scale was transparent like glass. Ella placed it on its face, and the fish scale transformed into a mask that it wore on its face.

Yan Xia also pulled off a scale and put it on. The scenery he saw changed from a blue sea and sky to a city.

When he took off the fish scale, it became a blue sea and sky again.

Putting it back on, the bustling street pointed to a domed building, which seemed to be the center of the city.

Ella stopped a nearby hovercar. There was no driver in the hovercar, and Ella took on the role of driver, heading towards the domed building.

The building got closer and closer, but it didn't look like a building; it looked like a forehead.

Sure enough, the ground shook, and the building broke through the earth, revealing a terrifying, eerie face, like a demon.

The demon stretched out its hand and pressed down on them. The two couldn't dodge and were pressed.

But they weren't flattened; they just arrived in another world, held in someone's arms like two infants.

The person holding them wore clothes that displayed a world, and in that world, two people were fighting in the air, a fight that almost destroyed that world.

From the destroyed world, a spaceship escaped, flying out the window like a mosquito.

Ella nearby grew rapidly, but not larger, but smaller.

From an incredibly large infant, it became a delicate adult, and Yan Xia was the same.

The two were placed on the ground, and a train that seemed to be only skin-deep crashed into them. They entered the carriage, were dragged to their seats, and looked out the window to a grassland.

At the end of the grassland, a giant was reading a book. The book's title was "Fengyue."

The edges of the book had neon-like lights, and high-rise buildings were vaguely visible.

"The overlap of countless worlds, as long as you wish, you will enter any world."

"In Shendu, you can see the ultimate collision of illusion and reality."

"Therefore, Shendu is also called the city without boundaries."

Ella took Yan Xia's hand, and the two stood up and walked towards another carriage. Opening the door, it was a room, and from the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, looking down, they saw a grassland, and a long train was moving away in the grassland.

"So where is the core of this city?"

There will always be people who don't like to wander around.

Ella led Yan Xia to the floor-to-ceiling window on the other side, which displayed a city.

"This is it, the real Shendu!"

This city was no different from other Star Cities, and it looked very boring.

Even Yan Xia felt a strong sense of disappointment.
