In a corner of the game world.

Feng Yan, Fu Jin, Ares, and Yin Jue were still together.

There was also a woman.

"Hey." She looked at the group of people. "I was coerced by you to change the rules of the game world and directly send Su Deng into the Witch God Festival instance. You even forcibly shut down the live stream. She still couldn't change the fate of Cigong Riki. With such a big commotion, the God Lord will definitely find out. You'll all have to take full responsibility for my punishment later!"

Yin Jue was speechless: "With Yan Sizhan here, what are you afraid of?"

"How could I not be afraid?" Lianyi snorted. "I did try to kill Su Deng, although I didn't kill him..."

"Do you think it's because Su Deng lacks the desire to save the world, or because the predetermined timeline can't be changed?" Feng Yan asked.

“But her son with Yan Sizhan comes from a future timeline, which is why he has become an outcast in the current game world. Logically speaking, since it is possible to reverse and go back, it should be possible to change things…” Fu Jin pondered.

"Hey?" Lianyi asked curiously, "You really believe that child is Su Deng and Yan Sizhan's biological son?"

"Whether it's a close relationship or not, I don't know." Yin Jue crossed his arms and sneered, "It's definitely a son."

They couldn't find out about this before, but after the God Lord and Su Deng had their first showdown and Su Deng got trapped in the game world loop, they went to investigate further.

The only explanation for Su Muye's origin is that he comes from the future.

What can his appearance change?

They tried using Lianyi's skill to rewind time and send Su Deng into the game instance formed by the world where Cigong Rixi was, to see if she could change anything.

But in the end, it seems nothing changed.

Ultimately, Riki Ninomiya followed the same path.

"But then again, the Witch God Festival instance is supposed to randomly match players with characters, and the task is to become a witch. At most, we changed the God's settings and sent Su Deng into this instance. Whether she becomes a witch or not shouldn't be considered as us forcing her, right?" Feng Yan asked again in a low voice.

He paused, then added, "We'll also give her a 100,000-point reward!"

The "Witch God Ritual" instance was originally a game in the A-level otherworld game pool. They forcibly upgraded the Su Deng system, activated the Monster Chronicle, and deducted 10,000 points from her.

But they did give a reward!

Nine times!!

"So what?" Yin Jue was still angry about his sword. He sneered, "Su Deng is petty and holds grudges. Just watch, she'll come after you one by one and kill you each the time you killed her."

"It's none of my business! I was forced into this by the God and you!" Lianyi shrank her neck and immediately fled.

Fu Jin shook his head helplessly, then turned to Ares and asked, "What do you think?"

Ares's eyes darkened. "Perhaps I know who Su Deng is..."

*

Su Deng didn't know when the live stream stopped or what happened, but she had a vague feeling that this instance of Ninomiya Riki wasn't arranged by the God.

Perhaps even the gods don't know.

After leaving the game world and returning to the stable game lobby, there was no world announcement, no one knew, and many even thought Su Deng was dead.

Since entering the game world, Su Deng has never felt so peaceful.

She took a nap and then went to find Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi wasn't there, but Liu Sangua was found instead.

Liu Sangua, whose attire and posture had remained unchanged for a century, let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief upon seeing her, saying, "It's good that you're alright."

Su Deng said, "Qin Xian is dead."

Liu Sangua pursed his lips: "...I saw that scene."

Silence fell over the air.

After a while.

Liu Sangua: "Don't forget, this is a game world created by the Divine Court. In this place, everything is virtual except for death."

"In that dungeon in the Underworld, you checked the Book of Reincarnation. It said that Qin Xian was already dead. A person who has died cannot die again."

"Even ghosts can be killed." These words of comfort did not comfort Su Deng. She thought that in the game world now, no one would die because of her anymore.

But she was wrong.

Qin Xian is dead.

Even if Qin Xian is a ghost, that ghost can still be killed until its soul is completely destroyed.

“Liu Sangua, no matter what your purpose was in approaching me, I truly considered you a friend along the way.”

Su Deng's voice was cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, "But I don't need friends."

Her friends will all die because of her.

She prefers to be alone.

She will find the God and a way to resurrect Qin Xian.

Liu Sangua remained silent as he watched Su Deng leave.

Before Su Deng could re-enter the game, and before the players could discover that Su Deng was alive, the C-level otherworld leap race began.

According to the timeline here, Su Deng has been here for two days since she came out of the "Wushan Sacrifice" instance.

[World News: The C-Rank Otherworld Leap Race officially begins 21 hours after the start of the game world. This leap race uses five game dungeons as the competition arena. Players can either attempt the dungeons individually or cooperate as a team to split into faction battles. The top 100 players with the highest accumulated scores will advance to the team competition.]

[World Broadcast: Player Su Deng has returned to the game lobby to register for the Transcendence Competition. Su Deng is a single player representing one faction. Whoever defeats or kills Su Deng can directly bypass the B-level otherworld and enter the A-level otherworld, becoming the highest-level player in this game world and receiving one wish.]

[World News Report: ...]

After the second announcement, no one paid any attention to the rest of the announcements.

"Su Deng isn't dead?"

"And the subsequent broadcast was..."
