Chapter 169, during the end of the game world: "You mean, the game..."
"You mean, the mythical phoenix in the game defeated the foreign god?" The Xia Kingdom leader looked at Anya in disbelief.
He was surrounded by a group of high-ranking officials from the Xia Kingdom, all of whom wore the same expression of disbelief.
Only Anya's parents had faces full of pride and satisfaction, as if to say, "My daughter is really amazing."
However, Anya didn't glance at them at all. After all, she knew very well that her parents were not proud of her because she had done well, but because she had brought them honor.
“Yes, based on my judgment, Phoenix is very likely also a foreign deity. Although she is much younger than the one who claims to be the true god, they look extremely similar.” Anya thought for a moment and described the conversation between Sang Zhitao and Zhen in more detail.
However, because they were either protected by the green mist or left outside the city gate for most of the time during their duel, they only heard a few words, but they were still able to piece together some information.
The Xia Kingdom leader frowned and looked at Professor Zhang beside him: "Professor Zhang, wasn't Phoenix Data compiled by you?"
Professor Zhang typed furiously on the computer screen for a while before frowning and looking at everyone: "I've checked, the data is fine, how could it be a god?"
“If she weren’t a god, she wouldn’t be able to defeat that Outer God.” Anya quickly spoke up when she saw the doubt in everyone’s eyes. “We are wearing equipment with maxed-out stats. Although our levels aren’t maxed out, we can still easily kill a max-level divine beast. But against that one, we almost had our souls shattered with just one look.”
“But this is so strange. Why is this god hiding in our game and doing quests?” A man over fifty years old next to the Xia Kingdom leader asked, puzzled.
"Perhaps it's because of the arrival of that Outer God?" Professor Zhang thought for a moment and then interjected.
"But……"
"Never mind." The Xia Kingdom leader interrupted the man's questioning and said directly to Anya, "You said the phoenix wants to see me, is that right?"
Anya nodded: "Yes."
“Alright, then I’ll see her.” The Xia Kingdom leader nodded in agreement.
"Chief!" the man beside him quickly interjected, "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall."
The Xia Kingdom leader waved his hand: "She saved Anya and the others, which means she has no ill intentions towards us, at least for now. In that case, it's alright to meet her."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment before looking at Anya again: "Phoenix shouldn't mind if we meet her in the game, right?"
Anya shook her head: "Phoenix also requires us to meet in the game."
"Alright, that's settled then." The Xia Kingdom leader made the decision immediately.
The man next to him opened his mouth, about to say something, but was stopped by the Xia Kingdom leader, who had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him.
In the game, Sang Zhitao looks at her tiny hands and feels a bit of a headache.
According to her and Team Leader Sheng An's speculation, in this game world, she could absorb the energy of world fragments, and as an NPC, she could complete the tasks issued by players to help her level up and accelerate her growth from beast form to human form.
Unexpectedly, a divine multi-stage quest actually existed that interrupted her planned mission and accelerated her absorption of the world fragments, forcing her to speed up her evolution.
As a result, she should have grown into an adult's body, but now she only has the body of an eleven or twelve-year-old.
"Eek..." Just as she was sitting on the ruins in a daze, Miao Yi next to her woke up.
"You're awake?" Sang Zhitao turned to look at Miao Yi.
Miao was stunned when she saw the ruins. She looked around and found that only Sang Zhitao was with her.
She frowned and instinctively backed away, asking, "Who are you?"
“Phoenix.” Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"Phoenix?!" Miao Yi's usually calm expression was now tinged with obvious surprise.
Sang Zhitao waved her hand: "Let's not talk about that now, I have something I want to ask you."
When Miao heard that she was a phoenix, her guarded movements relaxed a bit, and she looked at Sang Zhitao as if she were listening intently.
Sang Zhitao rested her chin on her hand, her voice full of curiosity: "I want to know why you suddenly attacked Zhen?"
Miao paused for a moment before smiling and explaining, "I am a Miao witch, also known as the Miao witch who is most likely to become a divine witch today. My family's ancestral Miao witch book contains three legendary Gu. Gu need the flesh and blood of a god, so of course I can't let go of a living god I've seen."
This reason made Sang Zhitao pause for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at Miao Yi and saying, "As expected of you, you really are audacious, like a goose plucking feathers from a passing goose."
Miao Yi was taken aback by her familiar tone, and after thinking for a moment, she simply asked, "Why do you seem to know me so well?"
Sang Zhitao smiled but didn't explain. Instead, she looked at Miao Yi and said, "Your snake was really flung away. Aren't you worried?"
Miao Yi shook his head: "It's alright, that's a specially made Gu, it will find me."
Hearing her say that, Sang Zhitao said nothing more.
Miao Yi's previous life must have been the world consciousness of the game world. Sang Zhitao recalled the only figure in her memory who valued treasures above all else, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Miao Yi was completely bewildered by her laughter. He wanted to ask something but didn't know what to say. He could only lean against the ruins and stare blankly at the devastated Tianan City.
About an hour later, Anya appeared in Tianan City with the Xia Kingdom leader and Professor Zhang, the man who had persuaded her and the person in charge of the game.
"Hello, I...may I call you Phoenix?" The Xia Kingdom leader smiled at Sang Zhitao. Although he knew that Phoenix was a child, he did not expect her to be so young, and her voice was gentle.
“Sure, you can call me Tao Tao.” Sang Zhi Tao extended her hand and shook hands with the other person.
The Xia Kingdom leader nodded: "Okay, Tao Tao."
As he spoke, he pointed to the man next to him: "My name is Wen Feng, and this is General Li Qiang'an, the military leader of our country."
He then pointed to Professor Zhang: "This is Professor Zhang Yan, the person in charge of the Dragon and Phoenix Continent."
"Hello." Sang Zhitao didn't shake hands with them again, but just nodded.
Professor Zhang and General Li did not feel discriminated against, after all, the other party might be a god, and it was normal for him to have such an arrogant attitude.
Sang Zhitao didn't intend to beat around the bush with them and asked directly, "Have you ever heard of parallel worlds?"
The Xia people were taken aback by her question, and then nodded with a blank expression.
Seeing this, Sang Zhitao smiled and said, "In that case, the rest is easy to explain."
As soon as she finished speaking, she gestured for everyone to sit down.
Before the Xia people could sit down, she herself sat directly on a stone in the ruins.
The people of Xia looked at each other in bewilderment, then turned around and found a suitable stone to sit on.
Once they were seated, Sang Zhitao briefly recounted her time-travel story, explaining the assistance each world could provide to the source world, Earth, and the assistance Earth provided to them.
"So, you mean that you absorbed the fragments of the world and can open a trade portal, which we can use to trade with Earth, that is, the source world?" The Xia Kingdom leader raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Sang Zhitao nodded: "I really like your virtual technology here, and I think Earth will like it too."
Wen Feng wasn't surprised that the other party would be interested in their core technology, but he was also hesitant, wondering if what they could get in return on Earth was really worth it.
Sang Zhitao noticed the hesitation on his face and turned to the other two people: "Is there anything you're interested in?"
Professor Zhang raised his hand and gave her a charming smile: "I'm not interested in anything else, I'm only interested in games on Earth."
Sang Zhitao nodded: "No problem, I can make that decision."
"What about your history books?" Professor Zhang's face showed a hint of embarrassment. "We once encountered a crisis that affected the whole world. That was because we had the idea of establishing a second world. It took hundreds of years to develop and countless people sacrificed to create the second world we have today."
"But our culture has been destroyed in a lot. I think it must be well preserved where you are, right?"
Sang Zhitao paused for a moment, then sighed softly: "If we consider it well-preserved if the cultural lineage hasn't been broken, then I think it's acceptable."
Professor Zhang was taken aback when Sang Zhitao continued, "Every world has wars, and the Origin World is no exception. There are many lost cultures, but at least there is a group of people who have been working hard, so the cultural lineage has never been broken, the culture continues to be passed down, and we are still engaging in dialogue with history."
Professor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's alright. This is an inevitable loss that occurs as the Wheel of Time moves forward. In any case, it's still better than us."
After they finished speaking, General Li said, "I am more interested in your troop training and weapons, especially what you said about obtaining weapons from other worlds."
Sang Zhitao hesitated for a moment: "After you open the transaction door, you can communicate with the person in charge of the base. But I can't make decisions about military equipment."
General Li didn't feel ashamed of being rejected; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Seeing you say that makes me feel much better."
Seeing Sang Zhitao's questioning look, he smiled and explained, "If a country can just casually give away these military equipment, then I have to consider the other party's ambitions and aggressiveness. Now it seems that we are indeed of the same origin and love peace."
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but twitch her lips, thinking of what netizens jokingly said: "We are a peace-loving country, and our vast territory comes from winning people over with virtue."
After her thoughts drifted for a moment, she looked at Wen Feng: "The opening of the trading door is inevitable, but the trading must be voluntary."
Wen Feng smiled slightly: "No problem, I look forward to the exchange between our two worlds."
"Alright, I need you to create a body for me in the real world. I need my soul to be transferred to the real world before I can open the transaction portal."
This wasn't a sudden whim of Sang Zhitao. On the contrary, after obtaining the World Fragment, she secretly tried many times but couldn't open the trade portal. Later, at the moment Anya and the others logged off, she caught a faint tremor as the trade portal opened, and guessed that the opening point was in reality.
"No problem, we'll get it done as soon as possible." Professor Zhang agreed without waiting for Wen to speak.
"Before that, you need to fix the game and also remake a phoenix so that Bean and the others can continue to complete the mission. I think this should be consistent with your subsequent plans."
Hearing her say that, Wen Feng couldn't help but smile: "Indeed, I was a little worried at the time about what would happen if Phoenix ran away."
After the two sides discussed the details again, Sang Zhitao saw everyone off, ran back to the Wutong Forest to take a nap, flew to a map in the game that interested her and wandered around for a while, before returning to Tianan City to await the call of the real world.
