This is a building that is neither entirely old nor entirely new. Each room is about the same size, like a small one-room rental, but it is exquisite in its design.

People of all kinds come and go.

On the road.

Ying Rujin suddenly asked her, "Which world do you come from?"

Su Deng didn't quite understand, "What, which world?"

"You are pulled into the real world before the game."

“The 21st century,” Su Deng said, “2024.”

Ying Rujin raised an eyebrow and said, "I come from 2025."

Su Deng: "?"

"Judging from your state, your stupid system probably didn't explain anything to you."

Ying Rujin said calmly, "This game is divided into four different worlds. We are currently in a D-level different world, while A-level is the main world. There are hundreds of millions of players who have successfully entered this game alive, and they are not from the same timeline world."

She comes from timeline A on the timeline, which is not the same timeline as Su Deng.

Ying Rujin asked her, "Have you heard of parallel worlds and alternate timelines?"

Su Deng paused slightly, "I've heard of it."

She had read some news reports about scientists researching time travel, parallel worlds, and different timelines.

They said.

Parallel universes are parallel worlds to the world you live in, existing on the same timeline, and there may be more than one.

Different timelines are those that do not belong to the same timeline, and they also have their own parallel worlds.

When one of the spacetimes is destroyed, the adjacent spacetimes will automatically fill and cover it without people noticing, becoming that spacetime.

And the different times and spaces on these axes are also different in terms of timeline and era.

Some are fast, some are slow.

Some countries are experiencing rapid technological advancements, while others are still living in feudal dynasties.

The scientists' explanations were too convoluted and complicated, and everyone thought it was a fantasy; no one took it seriously.

Su Deng had paid attention to it before, but she didn't quite understand it because all she could think about was that the world should just be destroyed.

Hearing Ying Rujin ask this question, something flashed through Su Deng's mind. "You mean, parallel universes and other worlds really exist at the same time, and people from all different timelines are in this game, and the game has not only descended into one world?"

“You’re not too stupid.” Ying Rujin nodded, confirming her guess. “All timelines are included. The Divine Court says this is a trial ground.”

She only learned these things after she had been here for a long time.

What exactly is Shenting Technology, and how does it possess such great capabilities?

Are they really gods?

A sense of horror flashed through Su Deng's mind, and she suddenly seemed to remember something as she replied to Ru Jin, "When my system selected me, it said I was the chosen one."

Ying Rujin was taken aback, then burst out laughing. Her laughter was bright and cheerful, but it was full of mockery, as if she were looking at an idiot.

She pointed to all the people she had seen along the way, "Did you see these people?"

Su Deng didn't understand, but nodded.

"There are at least twenty million people in this spiritual realm, and countless more throughout the entire game world, including myself~"

Ying Rujin leaned closer to her, her warm breath tickling her ear, and said in a drawn-out, casual tone, "They're all chosen ones~"

Su Deng: "..."

This damn system is definitely messing with her and fooling her!

She said, "Bullshit, the chosen one."

Outside the building, under the dim light, all that could be seen were ruins and rubble, exuding a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

It's like a city built on ruins.

The sky was bathed in a hazy purple hue.

“Time stands still here; there is no day or night.” Ying Rujin laughed for a moment, then continued, “There are no laws or regulations either; the strong rule, and it’s a very chaotic gathering place.”

"Sister Jin."

Two young men walked towards her and greeted Ying Rujin respectfully.

"Sister Jin, what brings you here today?"

"And this is...?"

Su Deng followed Ying Rujin and changed into a set of clothes that Ying Rujin had thrown at her. She had a white gauze bandage around her neck, and her face was pale from blood loss, but that did not hide her exquisite appearance.

Chen Yabo was taken aback when he saw her, then his eyes widened in surprise, "You're Su Deng, the new player who broke the record in the mental hospital instance?!"

The lobby live stream is a one-time event; it is not saved or replayed. However, the live stream can be saved if you click into the live stream from a player's personal profile.

Chen Yabo and Jia Yu didn't see the live stream, but they had seen Su Deng's true face in other players' videos of the "Human Butcher" live stream, as well as in the world announcements...

"Sister Jin," Jia Yu's eyes gleamed with a strange light, "how did this newcomer end up with you?"

Ying Rujin glanced at the two of them with a cold gaze and said indifferently, "I found them."

Su Deng nodded, as if to say hello.

It was clear they were afraid of Ying Rujin, and they didn't stay long.

After they left, Ying Rujin said to Su Deng, "In each game, you can obtain materials of different levels and qualities by solving puzzles and clearing levels. These materials can be exchanged for anything in a specific system shop, such as points and real money. Among them, god-level materials are the rarest and most precious."

Because there is only one copy per instance, and it is not refreshed.

"You're the first new player to obtain god-tier materials just by adapting to the game. Many people saw your live stream as a new player, and with the world broadcast across all channels, the entire Spirit Realm knows that a new player named Su Deng has obtained the god-tier material Spirit Rift Pendant."

Ying Rujin reminded her, "God-level materials are extremely difficult to obtain. For example, the Butcher has already run the mental hospital dungeon eight times without getting one. You can exchange any wish with the gods once you collect a hundred God-level materials, but the prerequisite is that you can keep them."
