Chapter 34 Betania's Rapid Advancements. Goodbye, Father.
Seven months passed. Finally, after a lot of careful planning and consideration, the Trassex Federation finally announced the unification of the world under the Betanian Federation. The people rejoiced and jobs were in demand everywhere. Companies had the chance to rise and accept the influx of employees.
Space shuttles have been successfully created and slowly, Betania is transforming into a galactic civilization. The journey to look for habitable planets started en masse.
Kings Technology started a branch company called Kings Games. With the accomplishment in the brain sector of science, true immersive VR Immersion was introduced to the masses. VR cabins were sold for a price of 3000 Betanian Credits or 4-5 thousand dollars. It prides itself on a server with a capacity of seventeen brontobytes which could handle a lot of data, and it was still said to be improvable. An AI named Protector programmed by the most elite of elites in the technological division manages and protects the data.
The first Immersive VR platform named Sky introduced the people to a whole new world. They could change their forms and fly in the sky.
Matthias also made a press conference to the masses and introduced a game that will introduce the world to a new place; Immortal World, the world of cultivation.
Once the type of program that the VR uses was released, he entered his technological room and made computation and programs with his huge supercomputers to create the largest demonstration on the world of immortals.
When he finished programming the game, he appeared in front of the press and announced, "We shall experience a new world, a world where cultivation is a necessity to live! Let us discover together the true world of the olden days!"
The game Immortal World was released to the public, and once they entered the world, they were dumbstruck.
Floating Pavilions, spirit beasts, different creatures, demons, and divine beasts were introduced to the people. They were spread throughout villages across the world.
Programmed people were so realistic there that they truly felt like true people. Legacies of sects, Immortals, and Demons were hidden throughout the Immortal World, and some of them are real cultivation techniques.
The people were amazed and dumbstruck. Starting that day, issues were solved through the Immortal World.
If you do not play Immortal World, you will be considered weird and creepy.
Businesses were established inside the World and there, continued their money making. RMT was also approved there, so Immortal World became one of the people's sources of money. Finding a relic in there could pay you at least 10,000 Credits!
When Immortal World was also introduced, the war in Causo stopped, and it was transferred to Immortal World. Territories were created at the cost of fighting the indigenous cultivators.
Slowly they also realized that cultivation inside the game could also benefit the real world, so it made the Immortal World even more in demand.
Materials from Alphan that could store and transmit data were also imported by Matthias by opening a portal. The server was upgraded from seventeen brontobytes to thirty-three.
Other games were also being contributed by other people using the Immersion's programming system. Science also made breakthroughs through the VR Techs, speeding up Betania's advancements.
Slowly, in a little over nineteen years, Betania transformed into a true advanced civilization, where even the hovercrafts are the things of the past.
When Matthias deemed the world as completely fully developed, he already planned to stage his death.
All of the Eisenhowers were called to go home. In the past nineteen years, the family grew from a measly seven, to a family of 15. Raquis and Alena were bestowed yet another son, Eston married a female hacker that he deemed beautiful and gave birth to two daughters, and Elaine, after a gruelling inspection from all of the men in the family, married Aleister Ganos whom she met when he was going undercover as a normal woman. She gave birth to a beautiful boy. Raquel also started a family with the heir of Sandan Group, who was business wise. Currently they have a baby boy.
Matthias was currently laid on his bed, looking as if he was already near his last breath.
"My three dragons.." Matthias uttered weakly, "Take care of the family and your mother. Don't let it fall in your reign. I won't split the business with you four as it might start an unnecessary conflict. You all shall manage the group smartly and equally."
"Yes, Father." Raquis sniffed.
"We will do all that we can, Father." Eston wiped his tears.
"I will miss you, Father." Elaine hid her sadness with a smile.
"I will miss you, Grampy." Raquel said.
The Old Mistress Jennese can't even speak as she was still crying.
"We will meet again, as this is not my realm. I'm not that weak, and I'm just coming back to where I belong. We will see each other." Matthias smiled weakly and breathed his last.
Matthew, Cameron's son who replaced his deceased father, stood straight and placed his fist in front of his chest, "Goodbye, Lord Eisenhower!"
All of the Eisenhower Family and the Isenian Mafia's people who were outside stood and bowed towards the main house. News all around the world announced the passing of the Head of the Eisenhowers.
Aleister Ganos, who was finally recruited by Matthias, looked at him with indifference and determination. He knew Matthias' true identity as it was said by him directly. When he first discovered that Matthias was the Divine God who kicked the humans out of Alphan, he was both surprised and scared. But as time passed, he realized that he was just an ordinary man like anyone else, just that he was too powerful.
Some were sad, some empathized, some were happy and gloating. Unbeknownst to them, a man was sitting cross-legged inside the Old Trassex Federation's Tower of Independence, looking afar with fear. "He isn't dead. He was just making an excuse to return to his realm." This was Rosicine, the former president of the Trassex Federation that got to see Matthias' true form.
After he died, Matthias left a song to the world to remember him with; My Way.
When Jennese saw the paper, she cried loudly. She assigned the greatest singer to sing it to the masses, and it ended up making the people feel mixed emotions.
Some felt sad, some felt relieved for him, and some felt angry because of his boasting.
