Chapter 854: 443 players

Listening to these words, Fang Zhixing’s emotions surged.

The "mother" mentioned by Tian Lei could be understood as its creator, or perhaps its biological mother.

But why would the mother have the Heavenly People protect this world?

Could it be that without the Heavenly People, this world would inevitably face destruction?

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but lift his left hand, looking at the ring on it, and asked, "Mother, is she the person behind this ring?"

Tian Lei answered, "Regarding this ring, every time I see it, the first word that pops into my mind is ’player.’

"???"

Fang Zhixing and Xigou were utterly baffled.

Ye Zixuan turned and walked to the side, took a scroll from the bookshelf, and slowly unfurled it.

Fang Zhixing looked closely, and with one glance, he was nearly petrified.

"Damn!" Xigou was equally stunned, his dog eyes almost fell out.

The scroll depicted a colorful scene, showing a young man sitting in front of a computer, hand on the keyboard, hand on the mouse, energetically playing a game.

What’s the meaning behind this?

Could it be that the so-called Heavenly People are actually players from outside this world?

The Heavenly People Avatars, then, are the characters in the game, created by the players themselves?

And the world they are in is actually a large-scale game?

Then what is mother? It’s obvious, just the damn system!

And what are they, the NPCs within the game?

Fang Zhixing and Xigou exchanged a glance, feeling chills run down their spines.

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing remembered Breaking Precepts Evil Monk mentioning that there are only four real Heavenly People.

If avatars like Fan Qiulai are merely game characters created by players.

Then, Tian Lei is highly likely to be one of the real players.

This means players from outside the game world can also enter the game!

But looking at Tian Lei, he’s clearly a prisoner, and also has memory loss.

"Hmm, Breaking Precepts Evil Monk was exiled here, Tian Lei and the four players..."

Just thinking about it, Xigou transmitted a question: "Do you believe this is a game world?"

Fang Zhixing pondered briefly and retorted, "If God truly existed, created a game world, do you think it’s impossible?"

Xigou was momentarily speechless.

Indeed, some great being could entirely have created a grand world based on their ideas.

Just like game developers creating real-time interactive games such as World of Warcraft, Black Myth: Wukong, PUBG.

"Absurd, too absurd..."

Xigou was tongue-tied, finding it hard to accept that he lives in a game world.

Thinking it over, Xigou reminded, "The situation of Tian Lei and that Breaking Precepts Evil Monk seems identical; perhaps he was also exiled from the Third Layer to the Fifth Layer?"

"Hmm, there’s a possibility."

Fang Zhixing gently nodded, pondering, "The person who created this game world might very well be in the Third Layer."

And recalling Breaking Precepts Evil Monk, couldn’t help remembering why he came.

Heart of the Heavenly People!

Heart of Wishes!

Breaking Precepts Evil Monk once said, as long as one kills a Heavenly Person, they can acquire this priceless item from them.

Fang Zhixing was here for the treasure.

But now it seems there’s no such Heart of the Heavenly People; it’s merely Fate Realm experts changing fate for people.

Then, what Breaking Precepts Evil Monk said was outright lies.

To survive, to delay time, Breaking Precepts Evil Monk spun a grand lie.

Consequently, Fang Zhixing suddenly felt disinterested, planning to turn away.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, no, Senior Fang!"

Suddenly, Ye Zixuan called out to him.

She solemnly knelt down, kowtowing: "Master has been imprisoned for years, hoping Senior Fang can lend a hand and rescue her."

Fang Zhixing glanced at Ye Zixuan, coldly asking, "Rescuing your master, what benefits do I get?"

Ye Zixuan quickly looked towards the cage.

"There are two benefits."

Tian Lei slowly said, "First, the only method to reach the Third Layer of this world is relying on one’s power to shatter the void.

But I can assure you, the resources possessed by this world are not enough for any creature to grow to the level of Shattering the Void.

However, if you and I join forces, perhaps there’s a great chance to shatter the void."

"Second, my true form is a thunder, if you rescue me, I willingly transform into a magic treasure for a hundred years for you to command."

Fang Zhixing thought it over and replied, "A hundred years is too short, at least a thousand years."

Tian Lei replied consecutively, "I’m a Heavenly Person, naturally having to undergo tribulation at some point in the future, I won’t last a thousand years."

Fang Zhixing was speechless and asked, "How long can you last?"

Tian Lei answered, "Optimistically estimating, two hundred years might be the limit."

After considering for a moment, Fang Zhixing asked, "Once you are freed, how can I ensure you’ll keep your promise?"

Tian Lei replied, "This cage has two layers, the First Layer is the jade sealing me, the Second Layer is the chains binding me. I sense, you can now only destroy the outer jade, not fully restore my freedom."

Fang Zhixing’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Tian Lei didn’t say anything wrong.

The first time he used his golden trinoculars to observe this cage, he knew he couldn’t completely destroy it.

"Alright, deal!"

Fang Zhixing no longer hesitated, his whole body suddenly expanded, exhibiting the Law of Heaven and Earth.

In an instant, he grew gigantic, breaking through the entire Star-picking Tower, standing tall between heaven and earth.

The guards of the Star-picking Tower were all swept aside, like tofu, shattered to pieces, dying tragically.

The vast Imperial Palace was also turned upside down, becoming a ruin, with countless people fleeing in panic.

"This..."

Amidst the shaking of heaven and earth, rocks flew apart, and Ye Zixuan was nearly buried alive.
