Chapter 281
The players watched with cold smiles as Lin Cang confronted the rebel leader.
In holographic online games, NPCs are intelligent and have a high degree of self-awareness; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are humans from another world.
In the eyes of the rebels, the players were all reclusive geniuses who possessed magic and were disciples of immortal sects.
It's definitely the Investiture of the Gods!
At this moment, the leader looked at Lin Cang and Rong Rong with great vigilance.
He never expected that his helper would suddenly turn against him and become his enemy, and he never expected that there was such a powerful immortal who could kill all the other immortals.
"Let her go, and I will help you deal with the King's remaining army."
Lin Cang stood firmly before the throne, shielding Rong Rong behind him. His aura, stronger and more terrifying than that of the king, deterred the leaders and soldiers below from making any rash moves.
Players who have run the "The Tragedy of the Goddess of Luo" dungeon know that this dungeon tells the story of the Goddess of Luo being forcibly taken to the palace by the king because of her beauty.
The king later became obsessed with beauty and did countless cruel and absurd things to please his beloved.
The killing of loyal officials and the exploitation of the people have caused widespread resentment and left them with no way to survive.
Until someone could no longer stand it and started a rebellion.
During this period, players will act as immortals sent by the heavens to help the rebels overthrow the previous dynasty and rebuild their foundation.
The culprit, the king, was forced to commit suicide. Before his death, he killed the goddess Luo because of his strong possessiveness.
Even if the king doesn't kill Luo Shen, the rebels and the people will never tolerate her.
This is because people believe that the goddess Luo is the source of evil.
This innocent girl died tragically, and people clapped and celebrated wildly.
They even used her head as a sacrifice to appease the spirits of all those who died unjustly.
They even imprisoned her body under Jiulong Mountain, signifying that she would never be reincarnated.
The girl's resentment is overwhelming. In the end, players must save the girl's soul and eliminate her resentment to complete the game and receive the Luoshen Set as a gift from the girl.
This is the storyline that Lin Cang has gone through. The Luo Shen's Lament dungeon begins with the girl being dead and the player encountering her soul.
Now, the special instances are more like the girls' past, starting from the uprising of the rebel army.
Lin Cang already knew the plot of "The Tragedy of the Goddess of the Luo River". He had also studied history and knew that there had been many similar events in history.
He didn't feel much; he knew the fault didn't lie with Luoshen, but was a tragedy of the times and a tragedy of humanity.
But now, Luo Shen has been replaced by Rong Rong, and Lin Cang can no longer remain a calm bystander.
He couldn't accept Rong Rong's tragic death, not even in the game; he had to protect Rong Rong!
The rebel leader is considering the conditions for Lincang.
The leader needs to use the head of the goddess Luo as a staged performance to win over the people more quickly.
But Lin Cang's fighting power was too terrifying; he felt that if the other side wanted to, he could probably wipe out his entire army.
The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.
Players watched the show with a mocking attitude; in layman's terms, the plot had fallen apart.
Can the game still be completed despite the flawed storyline? Players don't think so, and they actually hope that the leader won't agree to Lin Cang's conditions.
When Lin Cang goes on a killing spree, things will escalate and become even more interesting. They won't get the reward, and neither will Lin Cang!
Rong Rong also stood up, grabbed Lin Cang's back, and peeked out.
She had already convinced herself to prepare for sacrifice, but at this moment she suddenly felt that Lin Cang's back was broad and tall.
The steady and reliable gang leader has transformed from Dashan to Junfeng, exuding a strong sense of security.
The little fox's eyes are getting brighter and brighter. It's so cute and cuddly, with its bright little head peeking out as if it's secretly smiling.
Her pure eyes were full of joy, which inexplicably softened one's heart.
The players' enthusiasm for watching the show suddenly waned.
The rebel leader, radiating murderous intent, sensed Luo Shen's innocence.
"We can find a female corpse to replace Luo Shen, since not many people know what Luo Shen looks like anyway."
Lin Cang made the suggestion again, and the leader was somewhat tempted.
Finally, both sides reached a consensus.
After that, the leader had two immortals by his side. They could fly and disappear into the earth, annihilating the previous dynasty's army and minimizing the leader's casualties.
The male immortal is extremely powerful, capable of holding off thousands of troops single-handedly, and need not worry even if he encounters demons and monsters.
With a single stroke of her magic, the female immortal healed everyone's wounds and made them impervious to swords and spears, truly proving the saying that they were divinely aided.
After eliminating all the remaining forces of the previous dynasty, the leader held the heads of the king and the "Goddess of the Luo River" at the Temple of Heaven as a sacrifice, and everyone cheered.
The entire ceremony proceeded very smoothly until it ended, when suddenly a rosy glow descended from the sky.
It landed on Rong Rong and He Canglin, and also on the souls of the eleven players floating nearby.
The players gradually gained physical bodies and appeared before everyone.
This incredible scene caused everyone below to kneel down involuntarily.
"The gods have appeared! The gods have appeared!"
The crowd cheered, but the leader remained standing tall.
He is the new ruler of the world, representing the entire world and all of humanity. He is not someone who can be easily knelt down.
Just like the final conferment of godhood, players received a notification sound indicating that the game was completed.
The rewards for completing the level were then sent to each player's inventory.
The rewards are calculated based on the players' contributions.
He Canglin acquired another set of Luoshen outfit. Except for the style being men's clothing, everything else—function, color, material, and special effects—was the same as Rong Rong's.
He put on the suit and stood next to Rong Rong, looking every bit the perfect couple.
The other players watching were so jealous they went crazy.
The players were lucky enough to get a god-tier piece of equipment, but at worst they got some buff potions.
As for Rong Rong, because she played the role of Luo Shen and changed Luo Shen's fate, giving Luo Shen a new and perfect life, she received a special gift from Luo Shen.
Unique professional skills, one of a kind in the game.
Amidst the astonished and envious gazes of the crowd, two more beams of white light suddenly shot straight towards He Canglin and Rong Rong.
People gasped in surprise, not only the players but also the civilians, soldiers, and the leader's men who had already risen to their feet.
The white light landed directly in the hands of Rong Rong and He Canglin.
When the light faded, a white jade ring could be seen lying in each of their hands.
He Canglin's ring is a dragon ring, with a dragon coiled on it, while Rong Rong's ring is a phoenix ring, with a phoenix perched on it.
The dragon and phoenix double rings are not only couple rings, but also a pair of magical artifacts.
According to the equipment description, if the two people who own the ring get married, the ring's couple attribute will be activated.
Couples wearing the ring can simultaneously increase their attack, defense, health, and speed. In addition, they will also have a couple teleportation skill.
No matter when or where, even if one person is in a special instance, as long as the other person uses the couple teleportation skill, they can immediately teleport to their loved one's side.
There is also the concept of transfer of harm, where spouses can take the blame for each other.
