The test space fell apart.
Wen Nan left the white world of Test Space No. 3, restored himself to his normal human form, and found himself back above the dark pool of water where the sheath of the divine staff was.
Yu Shujun also came out of her own testing space, no longer looking like Arctic Clam. She glanced into the distance and saw Candidate No. 3 lying lifeless on the ground above the pool, and Wen Nan standing next to Candidate No. 3.
Wen Nan also looked at her at the same time, and he had a magic wand in his hand. He waved it towards her as if there was no one around, like a giant windshield wiper.
The corners of Yu Shujun's lips curled up slightly.
The next moment, the floating light screen above his head lit up, and the prompt jumped to -
[This Sheath Holder Qualification Test has officially ended! ]
[Congratulations to candidate No. 2 for obtaining the status of Sheath Bearer candidate for the fourth time with a perfect score! ]
[Gather the remaining energy of the Scepter Fragment you hold into the Scepter's Sheath, and it will be permanently bound to the Scepter's Sheath. Do you want to bind it now? ]
【A. Permanent binding】
【B. Temporary binding】
【C. Reject Binding】
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light hit Wen Nan directly on the head.
Wen Nan raised his head, looked at the three options, and fell into deep thought.
Yu Shujun's eyes fell on the temporary binding. He had already guessed the result and looked calm at the moment.
After Wen Nan told her the theory of Li Sen's dilemma under the starry sky, Yu Shujun no longer insisted on Wen Nan permanently binding the sheath of the divine staff.
Wen Nan had no interest in the power represented by the magic staff. It was understandable that he did not want to stand against other guilds and players, and did not want to be the only Mingzhuang.
Yu Shujun had no right to ask him to be permanently bound to the sheath of the divine staff, nor was he qualified to ask him to become the sheath bearer.
Then, just maintain the status quo.
However……
Pop.
A button above my head was pressed hard.
Yu Shujun's pupils trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes wide and looked not far away. He saw Wen Nan's figure shrouded in a dazzling golden light.
He chose permanent binding? The prompt above his head jumped, saying something solemn and congratulating the contestant on becoming the sheath bearer.
Yu Shujun no longer had the energy to read those prompts. His mind and eyes were filled with only that man.
Golden light floated around Wen Nan's body and condensed into the shape of a hollow divine staff.
Wen Nan raised his hand, and the golden light on the control pattern on the palm of his hand merged into the sheath of the divine staff, pouring into every tiny vein of the sheath of the divine staff.
Yu Shujun looked at Wen Nan, and the golden light around him floated in her eyes.
She didn't understand why the other party changed his mind. Could it be that he suddenly changed his nature and wanted to ascend the final throne?
However, the newly-appointed Lord of the Sheath seemed to have no interest in ascending the throne.
He held the magic wand in his hand, stepped on the golden light, and walked towards Yu Shujun.
Yu Shujun stared blankly at the other person approaching, stared blankly at the other person holding her hand, and then stared blankly at the other person putting the magic staff that was shining with golden light into her hand.
With the help of Wen Nan's palm, Yu Shujun lifted up the sheath of the magic staff.
The two looked at each other in silence, but Yu Shujun understood everything in an instant.
For her, he became the sheath bearer.
For her, he became the only Mingzhuang.
For her, he stood against the six major guilds.
Yu Shujun's eyes felt hot, his nose felt a little sore, and his vision was a little blurry.
Wen Nan was slightly startled, then laughed, raised his hand, and gently wiped the other person's eyes with his fingertips.
"What are you doing? It's just a sheath, not an engagement ring. Why are you crying?"
Yu Shujun glanced at the other person, and the sour emotion brewing in his chest dissipated in an instant.
Wen Nan smiled with relief.
Why did he change his mind?
Because Yu Shujun needs the sheath of the divine staff.
When Yu Shujun spent so much time and effort to give Wen Nan the Void Stone, Wen Nan was sure.
At that time, Wen Nan asked her: "If one day you complete this game, can you leave here as a player?"
Yu Shujun nodded firmly and said yes, saying that she was also a player.
But, this woman, Yu Shujun, can't hide her emotions at all.
When she said that she could leave this world, her face clearly showed two words: lie.
So, Wen Nan pretended to believe her words, but quickly used the shuttle postmark to send a request and a question to the president of the Feng Shui Huan Guild.
At the end of the reply letter, there was a sentence:
[In this story, Aghanim is the creator god in charge of the map, so it is rumored that the person who reforges Aghanim's Scepter and ascends the throne can not only have the same rights as the Supreme God, but also break the barriers of this game world.
The reason why Jun Wuming is so obsessed with recasting the divine staff is because she needs the help of the divine staff to break this barrier.
Because, even if she obtained player privileges and had a player account, she was not a player after all.
Unless she breaks this barrier, she will never be able to leave this game world.] At that moment, Wen Nan understood everything.
I understood Yu Shujun's obsession, understood why she had been angry again and again because of Wen Nan's temporary binding, and understood why she was so determined to make Wen Nan remember her after leaving here.
Just now in the No. 1 test space, Yu Shujun cut off the chains on his body, and when he was about to fall into the boiling soup, the few words he said are still ringing in my ears.
“I can’t leave this world, the carousel. Even if I escape from the turntable, I can’t become a tourist.
“Only you can leave here.
"You take my hope with you and leave here, okay?"
That was the sheath of the divine staff. With the help of that testing space, Yu Shujun aroused his obsession and told it to Wen Nan.
If she wanted to leave, she could only use the sheath of the divine staff. Due to her identity restrictions, she could not unlock the authority behind the sheath even if she bound it.
Only Wen Nan can help her.
At that moment, Wen Nan changed his mind.
He will become the sheath bearer.
He wanted to pick up his little wooden horse and leave the carousel.
Of course, Wen Nan did not tell Yu Shujun about these mental journeys.
But Yu Shujun understood everything without saying a single word.
She suddenly felt that the sheath of the divine staff in her hand was burning hot.
"It's too heavy," Yu Shujun murmured, "I... I'm afraid I can't pay it back."
Wen Nan smiled and said calmly, "If you feel guilty, you can... kiss me and that will pay you back."
Yu Shujun suddenly raised his head and looked at the other person in a daze.
This person...actually repeated to her exactly what she had said before? !
Yu Shujun felt ashamed and angry, and subconsciously wanted to lower her head to avoid the other person's scorching gaze.
The next moment, her chin was pinched by the other party.
Wen Nan lifted her face and forced her to look into his eyes.
Lowering his head, Wen Nan placed his lips on her soft lips and gave her a passionate kiss.
…
…
Prior to this, Wen Nan left Test Space No. 1 and entered Test Space No. 3, where he successfully found the Jade-edged Demon-eyed Night Moth transformed by Carl Milak.
Taking advantage of the bug in the test space card, Wen Nan successfully tricked Carl Mirak into giving him the panel lock card.
This panel lock card was specially prepared by Carl Milak for Wen Nan. He arrogantly believed that he had three pieces of the scepter fragments and would definitely get priority in choosing questions in this qualification test. He tried to lock Wen Nan's player panel here, making it impossible for him to pass this dungeon.
But in the end, Wen Nan retaliated by using the lock card on him, causing Carl Mirak to be unable to use any of his skills, equipment, or props for the rest of this copy.
After officially becoming the Sheath Bearer and leaving the test space, the last main mission is coming to an end. Wen Nan returns the birthday gifts he received before to his targets one by one and announces his farewell to them, thereby triggering the yandere attributes of all the targets.
The characters who have entered the complete yandere state try to attack Wen Nan in a group. Wen Nan uses Qi Qi's skills in this map to transfer all the characters' resentment and attacks on him to Carl Mirak. Carl Mirak's panel is in a locked state. No matter how high his level is or how good his equipment is, he can only passively take the beating.
He had one last trick up his sleeve to escape, which was that his real body had actually been transferred to the girl wrapped in silver threads on the altar in his base from the very beginning, and the one wandering outside was actually just a puppet.
When he was besieged by the characters, he still held out a glimmer of hope, thinking that Wen Nan might target his puppet and let his real body escape. But when Wen Nan first entered his room and saw the short-haired girl on the table who was controlled like a puppet, he already had doubts, because there was a teardrop mole in the corner of the girl's eye, which was deliberately covered by her bangs.
Wen Nan determined through Yin Zhien that the girl was the real body of Carl Mirak, and finally locked the target on the real body and successfully killed Carl Mirak.
As Carl Milak said, the rules of this copy do not allow players to attack each other, but if a character attacks a player, the player will only end up with failure and death.
The members brought in by Carl Milak and the female characters controlled by him tried to harm Wen Nan. Xiaojun tried his best to protect his master and punished them all.
All the members and female characters knew they were no match for their opponent and eventually surrendered, except for Yusuke Omori, who was too deeply trapped and unwilling to surrender, so he chose to commit suicide. This fulfilled the nightmare in the previous test space and triggered Xiaojun's yandere attribute.
However, the yandere attribute was only triggered for one second. When the opponent tried to attack Wen Nan, it conflicted with the authority of the golden driving pattern and was forced to terminate the yandere attribute.
At this point, Wen Nan’s main mission has been completed and entered the final countdown.
He had two last things to do before leaving the dungeon.
Wen Nan walked into the basement and found the treasure chest with the amulet. He opened it and found that it was still empty. However, Wen Nan still reached into the empty treasure chest and successfully touched the fragment, confirming his guess.
The last fragment is called the [Dream Stone], and its effect is to make people enter a dream instantly.
When Wen Nan and Yu Shujun opened the treasure chest for the first time, a golden light flashed for an instant, and they were both immediately pulled into a dream at the same time. In the dream, they thought the treasure chest in front of them was empty, but in fact it contained the fragments of the divine staff.
The same trick was used twice more by Yu Shou Shisan. One time was when the nanny tried to hurt Wen Nan with a prop. Yu Shou Shisan, who had just arrived at the door, saw this scene. In order to save Wen Nan, he dragged everyone around him into a dream in a hurry, and then snatched the offensive props from the nanny.
The second time was when Wen Nan was standing in the corridor of the guest room, about to collide with the other three characters at the same time, and when her clone was discovered, Yu Shou Shisan used the effect of the scepter fragment again to make the other three women fall into dreams at the same time, and then automatically returned to the room. But this time, she didn't expect that the one in the corridor was actually just Wen Nan's clone, and Wen Nan's real body walked down the stairs and saw the process of the dream in the corridor clearly.
At this point, the identities of several people in the villa have all been revealed - the nanny Aunt Zhang is a controlled character planted by Carl Mirak to try to secretly harm Wen Nan, and her appearance changed because of the use of Yoon Ji-eun's skills; the repairman Uncle Wang is also a controlled character, and she is the calico cat that was kneeling at Carl Mirak's feet before. Her character skill is that she can switch her body appearance at will; the bodyguard is a member of Carl Mirak; the remaining characters are NPCs.
The maid Meimei was the first option eliminated by the audience in the live broadcast room because she looked too much like the amulet, which was the amulet Thirteen.
Zhuang Yichen's character attribute is an iceberg beauty, but the effect of the key props is to make people enter a beautiful dream. This is because her villa contains the amulet and her fragments, which are affected by the fragment of the magic wand [Dream Stone] and incorporate the effect of the fragments.
After confirming this, Wen Nan squatted next to the treasure chest, and even though he couldn't see it, he still successfully got the fragment.
The maid Meimei, or should be called Yu Shou Shisan, walked out slowly, like an innocent little girl, smiled at Wen Nan and asked him, "When did you find out, brother?"
Wen Nan repeated his reasoning, and Yu Shou Shisan sighed and shook his head, saying calmly: "The clone can defeat the illusion."
After that, she pointed at the fragment in Wen Nan's hand and said, "You got the fragment. In exchange, can you give me a gift?"
After saying that, she moved closer, stood on tiptoes, and kissed Wen Nan gently on the face.
Wen Nan frowned, realizing that he had been deceived again——
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Even though the other person kissed him so much, there was no golden light flashing around him. This could only mean that this place was not the real world at all.
This is a dream within a dream!
However, when Wen Nan realized this, it was too late for him to take any action. Yu Shou Shisan withdrew into the dream and escaped from the map again with the fragments.
Before she completely disappeared, she said, "Brother, I'll wait for you in the next copy."
…
Coming up from the basement, Wen Nan saw Zhuang Yichen packing her luggage and preparing to leave.
Zhuang Yichen seemed to have grown up overnight, no longer the self-indulgent and spoiled young lady. She pushed the signed divorce agreement to Wen Nan, forced a smile and said, "I wish you and her happiness, my ex-husband."
Wen Nan pointed at her suitcase and asked her where she was going. Zhuang Yichen said that she was tired of being trapped in this small villa and she wanted to go out and explore the world.
For a moment, Wen Nan seemed to see the shadow of Guan Ailin in Zhuang Yichen, but without the chip bug, she could not see through this false world even if she wanted to escape.
Thinking of Zhuang Yichen's star rating, Wen Nan asked her: "Do you want to leave here, completely, leave here, I can take you away."
Zhuang Yichen looked at Wen Nan for a long time, finally shook her head and said "thank you", and then said: "I like you, but there is a sun beside you, so dazzling, so hot, with her by your side, a small star like me, no matter how close I am, my light will be covered by her, and I can no longer enter your heart.
"I don't want to be the star that is by your side but ignored by you. I want to be the star that only exists in your memory and is missed by you occasionally."
After saying that, Zhuang Yichen dragged her suitcase and turned to leave. After taking two steps, she turned back and asked, "Can you give me a goodbye kiss?"
Wen Nan hesitated a little, raised his head, and looked past Zhuang Yichen to look at Yu Shujun who was silently guarding him not far away.
Yu Shujun had no expression on his face, and he didn't even look in their direction, but Wen Nan felt a little guilty for some reason and shook his head, "No—"
Before he finished his words, the next moment, a golden light flashed, wrapped around Zhuang Yichen, and sent her into Wen Nan's arms.
Wen Nan subconsciously hugged the other person and looked at the person in his arms blankly.
Zhuang Yichen closed her eyes, raised her face, and waited quietly for the other party's kiss.
Wen Nan looked at Yu Shujun in the distance in disbelief. The next moment, a golden light flashed behind him, prompting Wen Nan to lean over. Wen Nan finally adjusted the angle and only kissed Zhuang Yichen's cold cheek.
…
As the countdown was about to end, Wen Nan and Yu Shujun left side by side, half-jokingly saying, "Are you so generous to your former boss?"
Yu Shujun replied: "It's not that I'm generous to her, it's that... I don't want you to have any regrets."
…
Carl Milak failed to pass the level and was teleported into a small dark room before logging out of his account.
He was fixed in the middle of the room, tied up with chains and unable to move.
An old acquaintance walked out of the darkness. When Carl Milak saw the other person's face, his face turned pale, "Wei Junjie?!"
Yang Mingzhong said in a cold and businesslike tone, "I have been commissioned by an investigator from the dungeon system to investigate your malicious act of swapping players' identities in a certain campus dungeon. You can make excuses for yourself, but no matter what, I will make you live a life worse than death."
…
…
Wen Nan officially became the Sheath Bearer and teamed up with Yu Shujun. With the assistance of two guild members, [Wen Na] and [Wuming], they seized all twelve pieces of the Scepter fragments through repeated dungeon raids.
After ascending the final throne and enjoying the same power as the game's main god, he received a congratulatory message from the system:
【Congratulations! You are the first player to complete this horror escape game! 】
At that moment, Wen Nan was stunned: "Ah? A horror game? Isn't this a love strategy game?"
It turns out that...the female characters he had met, gotten along with, and conquered were not what he thought they were at all.
If it’s a female ghost… wouldn’t it be even better?
Wen Nan's expression changed from shock to a determined smile, "No matter what, I want to take them away from here."
However, the game master told Wen Nan that he was the only player qualified to pass the level and the only one who could leave here.
At this point, Wen Nan held the A-staff in one hand and Xiaojun in the other, officially declaring war on the entire gaming world.
In the process, Wen Nan gets to know the whole picture of this game world, and knows the biggest secret hidden behind this world that he has been looking for -
The three creator gods of this game world, Aghanim, Nian, and Yi, are the three founders of this game.
To be precise, the three founding personalities.
Because 伓 is not a human being, but an artificial intelligence.
Ni was originally created by Nian and her partner Aghanim to assist them in building this world. However, gradually, Ni's control and say over this world surpassed those of the other two founders. In the later stages of the game's construction, this world almost became a one-man show for Ni.
When 伓's consciousness was first created, the real world was experiencing the most serious conflicts. Aghanim was disgusted by the ugly incitement of certain politicians and organizations, and on impulse, he decided to limit the entry of this game world to male players only, claiming that this would leave the last piece of pure land for the game world, and wrote this principle into 伓's model as the underlying logic.
After calming down, Aghanim blamed himself and tried to change the model of Zi. However, Zi had already quickly completed its self-evolution by then and was no longer controlled by the other two founders.
Nian was involved in the entire accident. She understood Ahalim's anger and also realized that Ni's consciousness had surpassed both of them. This matter could no longer be undone.
However, Nian still felt sad about it.
Because she originally wanted to send herself into this game world as a player before she died, so as to prolong her life and give her more time to continue waiting for the man she had been looking forward to for many years.
That man was the love of her life.
Before they parted for the last time, Nian lay in his arms and said, "Nannan, I will always wait for you to come to me, even if you become an old man and I become an old lady, I will wait for you."
At that time, the man said: "When we become old men and women, how can we recognize each other?"
Nian said: "We can exchange secret codes. You ask me - 'If I want to take you away, are you willing to go to the end of the world with me?', and I will answer you - 'Please hold my hand and take me away now.'"
The man laughed and said, "Your code is so immature and shameful. When we meet, even if we recognize each other, we can't say it out loud."
Nian was very angry and rolled over onto the man, and during the fight, she * again.
Even though that man always looked cynical, Nian believed that he would come to find her.
But Nian waited year after year, until her condition worsened and her time was running out, but she still didn't see the man.
Because of the strict control of the man, Nian could not appear in the game world in the form of a player. In the end, she uploaded her consciousness to a female character and built the body of the female character according to the two female images that the man liked most in the past - Saber and Android 18.
The female character is named Yu Shujun - I will write the story that you have failed to complete.
However, this game world has been built with a solid firewall. If a character tries to leave this world, he will be forced to lose all his memories and consciousness and become a shell. Similarly, human consciousness forced into the character's brain will also be hindered.
To this end, Nian created a chip and implanted it into the winning work of the robot competition in which his middle school participated.
And, she named it Nana after her lover, Nannan.
This robot, loaded with a special chip, was quietly released into the game world and became the second set of god-level items alongside the Aghanim's Scepter.
The robot had fallen into disrepair and gradually forgot its mission. The chip was lost and the name on the chip was misinterpreted and pronounced as DUDU chip.
The character Yu Shujun, because he had no chip to protect him, lost his past memories forever and became a brand new game character.
However, deep in her heart, in her subconscious, she retained an obsession - no matter what, she must leave here, leave this world, and find that man.
Nian had no idea about the subsequent developments in the game world. Before she died, she gave a player account to Shui Houzi, a mutual friend of hers and Nan Nan in Taoyuan, and asked Shui Houzi to help transfer the account to Nan Nan, and instructed him to enter this game world.
The water monkey later fell seriously ill and died soon. He coveted the benefit of this player account, which allowed the consciousness to remain forever in the game world, and wanted to take it for himself.
However, the account recognized its owner and refused to be bound. Shuihouzi tried many times, resulting in serious omissions in the game background introduction within the account. He finally gave up and handed the account to a fellow patient.
At this point, Wen Nan took the account and entered the game world as a nine-times-a-night man.
Now, after walking along the way, Wen Nan pieced together the various scattered clues of the past, learned the complete story behind it, and decided to take Yu Shujun and other characters away from here.
A battle of unprecedented scale to break through the walls has begun.
During this period, Wen Nan used the Void Stone to communicate with the dead players in the audience seats of the live broadcast room, and learned that this game world did not give players a chance to leave alive from the beginning.
This angered the players, and they switched sides one after another, joining forces with Wen Nan and the other characters to rebel against the game's main god.
In the end, the shackles of this game world were broken, the consciousness of all the dead humans in the audience disappeared, and the players in the map returned to their starting points before entering the game.
Wen Nan, on the other hand, brought the characters back to reality and began to create a new world of their own.

This is where the story ends.
It's a pity that I couldn't fully present the whole story and had to end it hastily in this way.
I owe you all a complete story. A Yan will definitely return it in the next book.
The new book is a romantic story with multiple female protagonists. If nothing goes wrong, it will be published next month. An announcement will be made at the end of this article. Gentlemen can also join the group to learn about the latest developments.
Thank you for your tolerance, companionship and support along the way! Thank you!! m(__)m (End of this chapter)
