Chapter 364: Games, Games, and More Games (Final Chapter)
He is afraid.
This was understandable. After all, He was endowed with fear, and Lin Jiu did not hide his aura. He almost swaggered and showed the aura of the divinity of creation to this copy world.
The evil god cub could not distinguish the breath of the godhead, but the instinct given to him made him understand: it was very dangerous.
Very dangerous!
The kind of danger that could lead to death!
The massive, incorporeal body of the deity trembled. Out of fear, it had even stopped absorbing the polluted aura. Its translucent form simply trembled, expressing its fear.
Lin Jiu frowned slightly.
What's the point of stopping? They still have to fight.
Although they could fight now, Lin Jiu didn't plan to do so. It was a crushing situation either way, but he kindly decided to give this evil god cub a chance to choose.
So Lin Jiu waved his hand, and the surrounding pollution almost instantly poured into the body of the evil god cub.
very good.
Looking at the now-formed and successfully born evil god cub, Lin Jiu nodded in satisfaction. He descended a dozen meters and circled around the trembling god's body.
He looks like a blue whale.
But it's a bit flat. Overall, if you ignore its size, it's quite cute.
There were no tentacles or extra eyes, at least nothing that matched people's stereotype of evil gods.
Lin Jiu thought with some boredom that it was just human's self-conceited fantasy, and there were many evil gods that did not even have a fixed appearance. The same evil god could even appear completely different in the eyes of different people.
Without paying attention to the information that naturally appeared in his mind, Lin Jiu floated in the air and gently kicked the evil god cub.
He trembled even more violently.
Lin Jiu watched with interest for a while, then said in a somewhat bored tone: "Hey... Is it just fear?"
Perhaps due to the limitations of human thinking, Lin Jiu only added what he wanted to this new life, but forgot everything else.
After thinking about it, Lin Jiu gave him courage again.
At the same time, he also restrained the terrifying aura around him.
As expected, the evil god cub stopped trembling, and Lin Jiu could feel something sweeping across his body with cautious probing.
Almost without hesitation, Lin Jiu released strong malice towards the other party.
The evil god cub froze and suddenly stopped moving.
Just when Lin Jiu was puzzled, he keenly noticed that something seemed to be brewing inside the evil god cub's body...
This rhythm...?
Lin Jiu frowned slightly, then widened his eyes in surprise.
I'm a suicide bomber.
Lin Jiu's mouth twitched fiercely, and with a flick of his hand, the evil spirit cub suddenly became immobile, and the immense energy brewing within it ceased to gather. He was surprised. He hadn't expected that by giving it some courage and restraining its aura, this little creature would go from a coward to a reckless one...
Lin Jiu was speechless and immediately lost interest in playing.
He raised his hand and forcibly twisted the huge body of the god in front of him, ignoring the sharp and piercing howl of pain that struck his soul, and compressed it into a translucent milky white sphere.
Lin Jiu could feel the aura of the divine nature from it, but it was different from his own, and this divine nature was very chaotic.
Generally speaking, there is no precise attribute.
Although Clairint had previously told him the difference between the evil gods formed by a large amount of pollution and ordinary evil gods, Lin Jiu gained new insights through observing the godhead.
It is indeed very fragile.
Lin Jiu played with the beads in his hand with an expressionless face.
Suddenly, he exerted force with his hands, and with a crisp "click" sound, the small marble was crushed into powder by Lin Jiu.
A large amount of pollution poured into Lin Jiu's body with the death of the evil god cub, but after more than a dozen cycles, Lin Jiu's tolerance to pollution has reached an unprecedented level. Except for his expression becoming softer, he did not have any extra reaction.
However, Lin Jiu felt that something seemed to be breaking inside his body.
He ignored it and slowly descended, landing on a tall building.
The whole world was extremely silent. The mental power swept through every corner of the copy. Not to mention monsters, even a strange thing was nowhere to be seen. Clariant seemed to have disappeared after completing his mission.
Lin Jiu frowned slightly, he suddenly discovered a problem.
The prompt never seems to appear.
"He won't show up, at least not now."
Lin Jiu turned around and saw Ryan appeared beside him at some point.
He lowered his head and stared at the ruined city, then turned his head and looked at Lin Jiu with a faint smile: "We meet again."
Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly. He was indeed a little surprised by Ryan's appearance. "So, I have to hand over my mission to you?"
"No," Ryan shook his head. "Like Clarint, I am just a remnant."
"What's the difference?"
Ryan paused, then silently said that what he said made sense.
Because the most crucial information has to be delivered by him, from a certain perspective, if Lin Jiu wants to pass the copy, he really needs to go through him.
"Let me think about where to start..." Lin Jiu paused for no more than three seconds. "This world, I mean, the original world of the copy, has been destroyed, right? Or rather, this world is only one second away from destruction, but because of some strange rules, it keeps repeating that day."
The information given is wrong.
This world has been destroyed long ago, there is no such thing as weird people working here as NPCs.
"Very clever, as expected of you." Ryan nodded in affirmation, then said, "But there's one thing wrong. This world has already been destroyed. He simply rewound the time of this world to the second before the destruction."
But overall it's similar.
"I once followed His footsteps and came here. Back then, this world hadn't yet been destroyed, but a hundred years had passed since He arrived." Ryan said with a hint of nostalgia. "But I'm lucky. As the being that created everything, He naturally senses the rise and fall of everything. And not long after this world was destroyed, He arrived here."
Ryan said, pausing slightly.
Then he looked at Lin Jiu meaningfully and said, "With Abtanias."
Ryan was indeed very lucky. It happened that he and Abuta needed a scene prototype to build the overall framework of the game, so this world that had just been destroyed was chosen.
Lin Jiu was speechless for a moment.
What a rational use of resources.
"This is your birthday present." Ryan said suddenly, "Although it's not perfect."
Lin Jiu paused, but he quickly reacted and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Getting a civilization destruction game as a birthday gift? Should I say, that's really cool?"
There is no doubt that whether it is Rule Tales or any other game, it is a complete civilization destruction game.
After regaining his divine authority over creation, Lin Jiu could still see through things to their true nature, albeit not completely. The black fog was constantly eroding the real world. When it reached a certain point, even without any external factors, those worlds would naturally be destroyed.
But I have to say, this is a pretty cool time.
July 4, 1974, 7:04 AM...
But it is certainly not perfect, and it can even be said to be a bit bad.
Ryan suddenly said with emotion: "Sure enough, no matter how crazy and twisted your heart is, you are still a human being." He seemed a little surprised.
Lin Jiu remained silent. He believed that the only thing that equated him with humans was that, at least in terms of species, he was indeed human. But from a deeper, or perhaps more moral, perspective, Lin Jiu felt that most people would rather believe that he was a demon or a monster in human skin.
After a moment of silence, Lin Jiu slowly spoke and changed the subject again:
"I've been wanting to say this since the beginning. You don't shy away from the name of the Lord of All-Knowing, but you've been avoiding..." He paused for a moment, then continued, "My real name..."
Ryan didn't react at all. He was like this most of the time.
Quiet, but like the deep sea, dangerous.
"Let me think about it. You once tried to call me by my real name." Lin Jiu frowned slightly. "But obviously, the game won't allow that to happen. Both you and Clarinte could only remind me in a roundabout way..."
Ryan remained silent.
Lin Jiu didn't care and asked directly: "So, who am I?"
Subtly, he did not express his guess directly, he hoped to know the answer through Ryan's mouth.
"For us, the most familiar title is 'Lord of Creation'," Ryan said. Surprisingly, this almost blunt statement received no sanction. Clearly, this was tacitly approved by the game. "Of course, for the evil gods who were born later, 'Lord of the Gods' might be more familiar. Even though they have no relationship with you, they still insist on calling you 'Father'. For this reason, your descendants have sparked divine wars more than once."
Lin Jiu's expression was strange for a moment, "So, these two are me?"
"More than that." Ryan seemed to smile. "You have many titles, but these two are the most famous."
Lin Jiu had speculated between the two many times, and it was not until he regained his divine nature that he confirmed the guess that he had been unable to make an accurate judgment until now: his true identity was the [Lord of Creation].
It turns out that the [Lord of the Gods] is also him.
It's really surprising.
"Abtanias, is this a hint?" Lin Jiu asked after frowning and being silent for a moment.
Ryan did not answer this question. His figure seemed to become a little blurry. He said, "Let Him answer this question personally."
The system's cold prompt sounded almost at the moment Ryan finished speaking. For a moment, Lin Jiu didn't even realize that he was still in the copy world.
Congratulations to Dragon Country player Lin Jiu for completing the exclusive custom dungeon [Strange Stories about Doomsday Rules]!
Lin Jiu's evaluation after completing the game: [Full marks! Absolutely full marks!]
[Level Clearance Evaluation: You are as excellent as ever.]
This time, for some reason, the global notification did not sound.
Lin Jiu watched the copy scene gradually dissipate, and Ryan's figure had long disappeared. However, after a few breaths, he arrived at the system's settlement space.
The game system didn't respond for some reason.
Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes, keenly aware that the game system seemed to have fallen into a state similar to lag. ——Is this useless system finally going to break?
There was still no movement in the prompt, which made Lin Jiu a little annoyed.
【award....】
The game system panel flickered several times, and a few words appeared with some difficulty.
【Currently....Stop....Erosion.....】
Lin Jiu couldn't help but want to speak and urge him, but the next second, he was ejected from the system settlement space almost without any warning.
Lin Jiu: ...
It is known that the Rule Tales were created by him and the Lord of Omniscience before he was sealed, so this game system... Lin Jiu thought, he must repair this neural game system.
No, this whole game needs fixing!
*
The moment he returned to reality, Lin Jiu realized something was wrong.
The whole world seemed to have come to a standstill.
Looking at Qin Chuan and Ying Shuyun, who were motionless and staring at the dark live broadcast room, Lin Jiu waved his hand in front of them twice. ——There was no response.
I'm not used to not being welcomed by these two people...
".....Aibta?"
Lin Jiu spoke to the air awkwardly, with a hint of tentativeness.
A familiar prompt box popped up.
I'm here, I'm here...
Lin Jiu listened to the voice that suddenly rang out in his mind, which was somewhat indistinguishable between male and female, and was a little surprised: "You have a sound?!"
【.....】
[I am now a complete Nyuhulu prompt, so of course there is sound.]
The implication is, of course, that He has returned to His true form, and is no longer the poor voiceless mute.
Of course, since evil gods were not allowed to enter this world, Abtanias remained in a state of prompting. It was also thanks to Lin Jiu being human at this moment. Without him as a carrier, he would have been kicked out the moment he recovered.
"So... then why haven't I changed at all?"
Lin Jiu looked a little confused.
For some reason, the whole world has come to a standstill, and he is the only one who can move freely.
Could it be that the real world has already been destroyed?
No, no, no, that’s not the case.
Abtanias denied Lin Jiu's suspicions and then answered Lin Jiu's previous question. He said that the reason Lin Jiu hadn't changed at all was because he hadn't remembered his real name.
[How strange! Logically, you should have remembered it by now.]
Having said that, there wasn't much surprise in Abtanias' tone. He said that what Lin Jiu enjoyed most in the past was digging holes for himself when he turned into a human, so it was not surprising that this situation occurred.
Lin Jiu: ...
I give in.
"He must have tampered with the seal. Honestly, I'm starting to suspect he's set you up." Abtanias gloated, "Who knows, the game might have problems beyond just a fluke."
Lin Jiu's mouth twitched.
"Then I'm really at my wit's end," he said.
[Okay, okay...it seems like it's indeed a problem with the seal.]
Abtanias quickly identified the problem and seemed somewhat helpless.
"Do you know how to solve this?"
[...Your words are still so hurtful.]
"You're welcome."
【......】
Abtanias fell silent, and Lin Jiu almost instantly realized that this guy might be holding it in, but unfortunately, he couldn't defend himself.
[Forget it, I never bothered with you about this. So now, you should come back, Atlia.]
Sharp and piercing tinnitus exploded in his ears without warning. Lin Jiu groaned, but before he could react, darkness swallowed up everything in the next second.
*
[You're awake! The operation was a success~]
"Shut up."
Lin Jiu, or rather, Atlia replied almost subconsciously.
The world is still in a state of stillness. Although all his memories have been restored, at this moment, he is still a human being.
Human memories are too small, but Atria intentionally preserved them. Therefore, they were not washed away by the ocean of memory. Atria at least remembered everything about his human life, but it was difficult for them to have any influence on him.
[So grumpy when you wake up? Never mind, what are you going to do next? Seriously, I think you need to be more rigorous when creating games! You can't always be so perfunctory!]
Abtanias couldn't help but raise the volume when he thought of the game system's stunned look.
"I think this is great. The unknown is the most interesting."
Atria disagreed, but he did believe that a more rigorous creation was needed. At least he wouldn't allow the game to end so quickly again. —Abta slandered him, saying it was really just an accident! Adonis had messed up everything!
"So, what are you going to do next? Find another world to continue your experiments?"
Atria glanced at the two figures on the sofa and shook her head: "Isn't there something ready here? We can reload the save file and start over."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and fiddled with the air.
As He moved, everything around Him began to move backwards, and then froze at a certain moment.
Is this true or false?
Abtanias was a little surprised, but he would not oppose any decision of Atria.
"Ah... I just think this [setting] is pretty good. This is the first time I've been kept in captivity by humans..." Atria smiled shyly. "It feels really novel. I don't dislike this."
【......】
Abtanias' silence was deafening.
"Honestly," he said dryly, changing the subject. "Are you planning on just continuing? Why not go get together with your old friends?"
"Of course we have to get together." Atria was perfecting the new game framework and said, "But there's no rush. I'll go find them after I fix the bug..."
For some reason, there was a hint of coldness in his voice.
Abtanias's now nonexistent body trembled.
Atlia smiled sweetly, but when she spoke again, she gritted her teeth: "I remember every account clearly. Oh, of course, and Adonis. I hate that kid. He needs to be taught a lesson. He ruined my game!"
Wow.
Abtanias's nonexistent brow raised.
He could already see the scene, but Ryan would definitely escape with a trick.
As for Adonis, He certainly needed a lesson.
Atria completed the rewrite of the strange rules quickly. He nodded in satisfaction. This time, He directly banned all attempts to exploit loopholes. Of course, He also ensured that no accidents would occur. —Hmm... As Lin Jiu, I probably wouldn't directly dismantle the copy...
Forget it, I'd better take out a few more insurance policies.
After all, "Lin Jiu" has too many criminal records.
Oh yeah, and don’t forget the most important thing, digging a hole for dear “Lin Jiu”…
hey-hey....
After completing all this, Atria went straight to the void, and this world, which served as the experimental site, would start moving forward again the moment Lin Jiu arrived again...

Blue Star.
July 4, 2074.
Lin Jiu sat in the courtyard as usual, listening excitedly to Old Li's latest revelations about the neighbors' unspeakable past. He didn't delve into why the old man always had endless gossip to share.
But today is destined to be an extraordinary day.
【bite--】
The cold mechanical sound foreshadowed that Lin Jiu was about to usher in a brand new life, but it also meant that all peace was broken at this moment...

I won’t say much about the closing remarks.
After all is said and done, there is only one thing I want to say: Thank you all for your support and love.
I won't say much about this book. As you can see, there's no clear plot. It's about Lin Jiu (Atlia) and Zhi Shu (Aibta) creating a game and then playing it. Plus, I didn't set high goals for myself when I started writing, so I just wrote whatever came to my mind, whatever came to me...
Admittedly, this book has many problems, and even the ending is not good enough, but for me that's enough.
Just finishing it is my most basic requirement for this book. Although it may be a bit irresponsible, it and Lin Jiu still mean a lot to me, and without everyone's support, I definitely wouldn't be able to finish it.
Finally, I really want to thank everyone for their company along the way!
Especially to those of you who have been waiting for me to resume updating!
(Bow) (Applause)
