Chapter 81: New World
While the world underwent massive changes, the World's Will had a crucial task: merging players with their avatars.
This task wasn't simple. Players' bodies needed to be baptized with Spiritual Qi before they could merge with their avatars without issues.
The process required patience. As the World's Will had to wait until the Primordial Spiritual Vein was fully awakened.
Once this occurs, it will lead players and non players close to the vein, allowing pure Spiritual Qi to flow into their bodies.
The moment this happened, the World's Will had to act swiftly, merging the avatars with the real bodies without any delay.
Any mistake could lead to disastrous consequences, causing the pure Spiritual Qi to riot inside the players' normal bodies, resulting in their bodies exploding without them feeling any pain.
And this is even more so with the non-players who do not have any avatars to inherit, which means that the World's Will will have to use the Spiritual Qi to strengthen their bodies before letting them float far away from the players.
Thus, the World's Will had to be exceptionally careful. Some players had already upgraded their avatars to the Peak Body-Building Realm.
These individuals needed even more attention, as they would become the backbone of this world, leading the inhabitants into a new era.
Meanwhile, Xu Qianghua and his group were being taken care of by his parents and Bai Lingyun's incarnation.
While the World's Will focused on managing the players and ensuring no major mistakes occurred, Xu Qianghua's parents and Bai Lingyun's incarnation were busy elsewhere.
They were surrounded by many humans, all unconscious.
These were the Shadow members and Xu Qianghua's group, who were closest to the trio. Instead of using Spiritual Qi from the Primordial Spiritual Vein, they injected a special power into these individuals.
"Oh honey, look how much our baby has grown," Xu Qianghua's mother said, placing one hand on her son's cheek.

"Dear, we don't have much time. We need to finish before the Supreme Will notices the change in time in this sector," his father said, speechless as his wife stayed near their son instead of helping.
"Hmph, okay fine. But after I help, you have to let me spend more time with him," the mother said as she pouted, but still started assisting with the avatars so they could finish this quickly.
They had stopped time in this sector to spend more time with their son while he was unconscious.
It wasn't that they didn't want him to meet them, but they weren't sure how to tell him they were still alive.
When they faked their deaths, they didn't think it would affect him so deeply. But he cried for days, which made them sad.
But they couldn't dwell on this now. They had to focus on merging the avatars into the real bodies.
As the merge progressed, the players' bodies began to change. This was a positive transformation.
Their organs became more robust, and their exterior features improved. Average-looking players turned into handsome men and beautiful women.
This transformation was due to the introduction of Spiritual Qi.
When it expelled the impurities, it not only allowed the meridians to take in the Spiritual Qi but also removed any physical defects.
However, it couldn't regrow limbs; that required rare medical items.
Soon, the trio finished merging the avatars of the Shadow personnel and Xu Qianghua's group.
These individuals now released an aura that would make anyone in the Body-Building realm feel sick.
This aura was a testament to their cultivation realm which they have cultivated their avatars to in the game before the merge.
Since they were unconscious, they couldn't control it, and it leaked from their bodies.
Leaking aura wasn't necessarily bad. It was a sign of their cultivation progress. Cultivators often hid their true strength until needed. High-level cultivators released a trace of their aura to deter others. The players would learn this later.
After merging the avatars, Xu Qianghua's parents stayed with the group for a few more hours. They wanted to ensure everything was in order before leaving.
Bai Lingyun's incarnation, however, remained. She could live normally in a world producing Spiritual Qi, although she couldn't use all her strength.
Xu Qianghua's parents wished to return as well, but they had to wait for the right time.
Meanwhile, Xu Qianghua and his group continued their unconscious transformation. Their bodies absorbed the Spiritual Qi, becoming stronger and more resilient.
This is because while his parents were helping them merge with their avatars, they were also feeding them heavenly materials that would improve their foundation and their talent from before.
They would soon wake up to a new reality, one where they were more powerful and ready to face the challenges ahead.
Xu Qianghua's mother couldn't help but feel proud as she watched her son's transformation.
This was the first time she was here when this happened as in his last life, they were not present during this time as they did not know this had happened because they were away on an important mission.
"He's grown so much," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion.
"He has, and he will continue to grow," her husband replied, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "But we need to go now. We've done our part."
Reluctantly, she nodded, knowing he was right. They had given their son the tools he needed to succeed.
But this does not mean that they will leave as after they had missed this incident in his last life, they had made a promise to stay and watch over him until he is strong enough.
With a final look at their son, Xu Qianghua's parents disappear, leaving the group unconscious but waiting for the new world.
Time began to flow normally again, and the transformation of the World continued with the World's Will still busy with the final preparations before the World was fully completed.
All the humans were transported to their city of choice or a city randomly selected by the World's Will.
