Chapter 399: 0399: Beast Tide (6800 added, request for monthly pass)
Su Lu stroked his chin: “Interesting…”
Before traversing, he had read many novels about the revival of spiritual energy. He was speechless about some protagonists who clearly acted as puppeteers, yet desperately sought rational explanations for the resurgence of spiritual energy from the East and West.
Isn’t such a matter supposed to be left to those major powers and organizations to come up with their own theories?
Fabricated lies are most likely to have loopholes. Often to cover one, you have to continue to concoct millions of lies.
The key is that the lies are not well fabricated, causing embarrassment.
The ‘puppeteer’ of this world (if there is one) is different then.
Regardless, I just did it this way. Existence is rational. Interpret it however you want, guess it for yourself!!
According to Jun Ren, on Guni Star, there have been no less than 100,000 speculations about the ‘Lord God Game’, enough to write several dedicated books.
The most influential theories are the ‘Divine Spirit Theory’, ‘Alien Technology Theory’, and the ‘Doomsday Theory’.
Some people take the ‘Lord God Game’ as a conspiracy, proclaiming that the Guni people are being secretly controlled, and call for all players to resist the game.
Such propaganda was once very popular. Until the media exposed negative news, it turned out that some economically underdeveloped areas, who came into contact with the Lord God game later, deliberately promoted this theory in order to keep up with the pace of progression.
Su Lu was very interested and specifically asked a few questions. He found out that someone had really guessed about ‘the two sides of the world’, and couldn’t help but sigh.
Answer enough questions and there will always be one or two lucky shots.
But even if they guessed it correctly, so what?
As of now, according to official statistics, the number of players in the Lord God game has exceeded 100 million, mostly teenagers, accounting for one in two hundred of the total population of Guni Star.
Even so, no one can touch the truth of the world.
“This game has a high degree of freedom, and there are only those three initial tasks…”
Jun Ren enthusiastically said, it seemed that few people were willing to listen to him talk like this before.
“Protect the main city, kill monsters, save the world! It’s that simple. Besides these, you can do anything you want to do…”
Jun Ren stretched his hands towards the sky: “No matter what reality is like, this world, it’s ours!”
Slap!
Just when he looked up, a mass of unknown object, either bird droppings or something else, fell into his mouth.
“Ah, spit, spit, spit!”
Jun Ren covered his throat, suddenly looking up: “That is… not good! The Beast Tide is coming!”
“Hmm?”
Su Lu looked up and saw a dark cloud appearing in the sky.
They were strange birds, some with feathery wings, some with wing-like bats, all mismatched, either bald or deformed, full of an unspeakable sense of disgust.
Their shapes were also bizarre. Some had cat-like heads, some were multi-headed monsters, and some had no heads at all, with eyes growing on their wings.
“The Beast Tide is coming!”
“Everyone grab your tools, and fight them!”
“Haha… it’s time to get rich!”
“Killing beasts for experience.”
“The beast crystal is mine!”
A large number of players rushed out from within the main city, picked up equipment, and stood on the city wall to greet the enemy.
Su Lu went with the flow to the city wall, looked at the dense and terrifying Beast Tide, his eyebrows slightly furrowed: “This feeling… Revenant? Curse?”
He had some understanding of the origin of these beasts.
In the Material Realm, during the Twilight of the Gods, pure resentment had no effect on the living.
But in the Spirit World, especially the revived Spirit World, it’s completely different.
The resentment from the death of many lives, the pain caused by war, and all kinds of desires and resentment in life can manifest in the ‘Inner World’ filled with spirituality, becoming a curse!
And such resentment, accumulated day after day, will eventually overflow the dam of the ‘Inner World’, pouring into the Outer World.
By then, it would be the end of the world!
Of course, the world itself may also have the functions of ‘self-cleansing’ and ‘purification’.
But when it exceeds the ‘limit’, it is still not very effective.
At this moment, these ‘players’ have come into play.
They are tireless and brave, killing a large number of beasts, they are actually resolving the dark side that the world has accumulated in the past.
Why are beasts crazy and impossible to communicate with? Because they are the condensed forms of madness!
And why do they treat players as enemies, desperately wanting to destroy the main city? Because this is the purpose of the formation of the curse! Like the two poles of a magnet, they naturally repel each other!
“If the Lord God game has a puppeteer behind the scenes, I’d rate this design a 9 out of 10…”
Su Lu looked at the players resisting the beasts with the strong city walls and couldn’t help but nod: “If the players persist, theoretically they can eliminate all the accumulated darkness of the world…”
“And, if they can really achieve this, carrying the achievement of saving the world… tsk tsk, they would be meritorious beyond measure!”
This in the East is known as having great fortune, while in the West it is being favored by destiny. In summary, no matter what is done, there is a high probability of success.
By then, the puppeteer might become the first Transcendent of the Outer World, ruling the world would be just a small matter.
“Kill!”
“Ah! I got killed.”
“Respawn quickly. If the main city is destroyed, no one can play the game.”
On the city walls, the sounds of combat were ceaseless.
The ordinary people fought for a while, suffering heavy casualties, but no one cared.
After the Occupational Persons arrived, especially some of the 3rd and 4th ranks, they immediately turned the tide of battle.
Su Lu also went through the motions of killing a few strange birds and found a very common white Crystal Core.
To him, this is the remnant of the curse and madness being washed away, while to the players it is the Beast Crystal, Beast Core, Energy Core, the game’s ‘experience points’, the only treasure that can allow them to advance in ranks.
‘Actually… Players are just a segment of the spirit produced by the Mental Secret Realm, equivalent to the initial module, while the ‘mounted’ professions come from the Lord God game system, equivalent to plugins. It feels like they’re being controlled relentlessly. Even if they’re 4th ranks, their abilities don’t fully belong to them…’
Su Lu arrived at the Resurrection Plaza.
It’s the busiest place here at the moment as countless players died and revived here.
“I understand now why players can’t go to the Material Realm… The Inner World is the battleground to resist the dark sides of the world like curses and negative emotions, why should it allow deserters or let enemy forces break through the defense?”
“The players can come and go via the entrance of the Mental Secret Realm… but damn, I haven’t authenticated my identity with the Lord God system!”
Su Lu felt a little tricky.
