Chapter 192
Meanwhile.
After parting ways with Zhouyou Shijie, Ning Wushen withdrew his projection and slowly awakened in his true body in the real world.
Looking at Zhou Ming nearby, still wearing his gaming helmet and battling on the Destiny Continent, Ning Wushen could not help sighing. “Who knows what kind of chaos you’ll make of the Destiny Continent in the future, brat!”
Events had already begun spiraling out of control.
As Zhou Ming’s foundation grew deeper, it became increasingly difficult for the gods and demons to kill him.
In the future, a twilight of the gods that changed the course of the Destiny Continent’s history was likely inevitable.
“When that day comes, I suppose the road I walk will no longer be lonely,” Ning Wushen murmured.
Setting those thoughts aside, he turned, left, and pushed open the door.
The next instant, Ning Wushen opened the door into a large supermarket. He bought a gaming helmet from one of the shelves, then opened another door and returned directly to his home.
His ingenious use of space spared him a great deal of unnecessary travel.
Once everything was installed, Ning Wushen eagerly put on the gaming helmet.
Destiny, launch!
Ding!
[System Notification: Welcome to [Destiny]. Would you like to create a character now?]
“Yes!”
Ning Wushen surveyed the magnificent golden hall with curiosity. A thought occurred to him, and he walked into a corner, tapped on a hidden compartment, then pulled an ancient cyan sword from inside.
Ding!
[System Notification: Congratulations! You have obtained the Gold-grade equipment [Skyhawk Sword]. As the first player to discover the opening easter egg, you have received an additional reward: Free Attribute Points +10!]
Ding!
[System Notification: Character creation successful. Please name your character!]
“Ning Wushen!”
Ning Wushen chose to use his real name.
Ding!
[System Notification: This character name is already in use!]
“Hm?”
Ning Wushen frowned slightly, displeasure in his voice. “My name has long been deeply bound to the history of the Destiny Continent. Why can someone else use it at will?”
“…”
The system gave no response.
Ning Wushen’s voice darkened. “I know the rules are intelligent. Answer me!!”
Ding!
[System Notification: Your game ID has been verified as your true name. Naming successful!]
At the same time, a certain player who had named their character “Ning Wushen” suddenly heard a system chime.
Ding!
[System Notification: Due to an unknown cause, your game ID has been reset. Congratulations! You have received the Rare SS-Rank item [Renaming Card]!]
“What?!”
The player was dumbfounded. “Why the hell?!”
…
“Whoosh!”
White light scattered as Ning Wushen appeared in Novice Village No. 1,564,661.
“Brother, want to form a party?” At that moment, a player in rather fine equipment approached enthusiastically. “Two hundred yuan for five hours, and I’ll carry you to Level 30!”
“I can carry you to Level 35 for only three hundred!” Another player immediately ran over to poach the customer.
Any properly operating game would inevitably develop a market of in-game merchants.
Destiny had already been live for several months, so an entire power-leveling industry had naturally appeared. Hiring them could save players a great deal of effort.
“The server has been open for months, yet it still takes five hours just to reach Level 30?”
Ning Wushen had no interest whatsoever.
Only Level 30?
At Ning Wushen’s response, the player named Eat the Rainbow scowled and said sarcastically, “Oh mighty expert, please stop showing off. You don’t actually think leveling in this game is easy, do you?”
“Is it difficult?” Ning Wushen asked in surprise.
“If you can level alone and reach Level 30 in five hours, I’ll livestream myself eating shit!” Eat the Rainbow mocked him.
“Good, good! Then it’s a deal!”
Ning Wushen laughed speechlessly. After leaving the novice village, he instinctively tried to use the techniques he already possessed.
All kinds of system chimes immediately rang in his ears.
Ding!
[System Notification: Congratulations! You have successfully changed to the Exclusive SSSS-Rank class [Boundless Shadow] and received the exclusive title [Boundless Shadow]!]
Ding!
[System Notification: Congratulations! You have comprehended the skills [Spatial Teleportation], [Spatial Folding], [Time Reversal], [Time Stop], [Lord of Space], [Spacetime Ruin], [Forbidden · Godless Hand], [Forbidden · Heavenly Dao Prison], [Forbidden · Godless Day], [???], [???]…]
…
Ning Wushen: “…”
This game certainly handed out a lot of benefits!
“Whoosh!”
The next instant, he vanished.
“???”
Eat the Rainbow froze.
Where did he go?
Two minutes later, Ning Wushen returned. “I hope you’ll honor your promise!”
[Boundless Shadow · Ning Wushen] (Boundless Shadow)
Level: 80
…
“Are you cheating?” Eat the Rainbow stared in disbelief.
Ning Wushen disagreed. “Playing well makes me a cheater?”
“Cheating bastard, it’s only a matter of time before your account gets banned!” Eat the Rainbow said with certainty. “Otherwise, there’d be no point in anyone else playing!”
Destiny should never allow a cheat like this to exist!
The system would surely find some way to ban him!
“So which channel will you be streaming on?”
“…”
Eat the Rainbow did not answer and fled in disgrace.
Ning Wushen did not hold it against the player. He planned to revisit familiar places and return to his home on the Destiny Continent.
“Wait!”
He had only taken a few steps when his expression changed. “How can there be a Saint-tier powerhouse on the Destiny Continent?”
Without hesitation, he flew into the sky. With a wave of his hand, he constructed a vertical teleportation array before him and plunged straight inside.
“What the fuck?!!”
The other players in the novice village stared in disbelief.
They had to admit, cheating looked amazing!
…
Merri Region, beside Star-Moon Lake.
Scorching heat swept across the land. The lake water boiled in an instant, then evaporated.
The overwhelming pressure made it difficult to breathe.
Every powerhouse of the Hope Faction braced for a formidable enemy.
If the ten Demon Gods had attacked by themselves, the group could simply have left without bothering to engage them. This time was clearly different, however, because Wu Xing had brought a terrifying Saint-tier existence.
“Hahaha…”
Gu Ming stood in the air and laughed as he looked at Zhou Ming. “Brat, do you remember me?”
He had never forgotten Zhouyou Shijie’s ability to ignore fire-element damage.
After all, not even the Core of Fire could grant such an ability!
A cold gleam flashed through Zhou Ming’s eyes. “If I’m not mistaken, you must be the arrogant fool from the Talent Trial who was defeated by the true master of flame!”
“Interesting. Very interesting!”
Gu Ming did not grow angry. He looked at Zhou Ming as though gazing upon an ant. “You only defeated me because you were immune to the fire element. Without that ability, killing you would take me minutes at most!”
“Senior, this man is far too calculating!” Wu Xing urged from beside him. “There’s no need to waste words. We should act as soon as possible!”
“Wu Xing!”
Cangxuan glared at him, bitterly disappointed. “This is the path you’ve chosen?”
“Enough nonsense!” Wu Xing’s expression was indifferent. “Zhouyou Shijie has humiliated the Demon Gods of the Dark Faction time and again. He must die!”
“You!”
Cangxuan gritted his teeth, yet also felt a sense of relief.
He was glad he had not followed Wu Xing. Someone like that would lead everyone to destruction sooner or later.
“Yes, that makes sense!”
Gu Ming vaguely remembered being tricked by Zhouyou Shijie before, which showed that this man was deeply calculating.
With that thought, he attacked without hesitation and charged toward Zhou Ming, grinning viciously. “This time, no one can protect you!”
