As the light swept across, the silk threads slowly withdrew and disappeared, and Jiahe's shadow also dissolved into the air.
...the same puppet strings as those in the orphanage.
It seems that this game world is a real world specifically created for her by the God Lord using her data extracted from the Divine Court's main system. It has countless timelines and allows her to travel through them to save others...
The divine authority would never allow her to succeed, so it would inevitably make her fail in game after game, leaving her without hope and driving her to despair...
Unfortunately, she had long since lost the capacity for despair.
Even if she fails every time, it doesn't mean she can't defeat the God Lord...
Su Deng stood outside the toilet, looking at the pitch-black sky. Her aura was cold and sinister, her black hair fluttered behind her, and a wicked smile played on her lips.
In front of a live broadcast screen.
Watching Su Deng skillfully wield that diamond-shaped longsword, Yin Jue gritted his teeth and stomped his foot in anger, "That's my sword!!"
“Now that it’s in her hands, it’s temporarily her sword,” Fu Jin said leisurely.
Yin Jue kicked him, "So it wasn't your weapon after all!"
Ares spoke up, "The aura of evil god emanating from her is growing stronger..."
Yin Jue frowned. "Could she have really made a pact with an evil god?"
“There doesn’t seem to be any other explanation,” Fu Jin said.
Su Deng is able to use the power of the evil god, which means that he must have established a bridge with the evil god, the simplest way being through a contract.
That's an evil god!
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the evil god can use this bridge to slowly transfer his power into Su Deng's body.
The evil god is using her as a vessel to nourish himself.
“She made a pact with an evil god in a certain illusionary realm,” Feng Yan said. “Once this pact is established, it cannot be broken. If we kill Su Deng now, we can still stop everything. If we don’t kill her, she will eventually become a vessel for the evil god.”
“Yan Sizhan is suppressed in the game instance by the God Lord and cannot be summoned by Su Deng now, which is a good opportunity to kill her.” Yin Jue narrowed his eyes. He got angry just seeing Su Deng holding his sword.
Fu Jin said leisurely, "You seem to have forgotten that she can't die."
Yin Jue: "..."
Feng Yan was a little worried, "The God Lord ordered all the executors to kill Su Deng once, and now only a few of us haven't done it. Will the God Lord punish us?"
Fu Jin said, "He's wary of Su Deng right now, so he's not in the mood for that."
But who knows, after all, their lives are in the hands of the gods.

The library at Qingshan Middle School is on one floor and is not a standalone building; it is located on the third floor of the art building, diagonally opposite the first teaching building.
The fire was extinguished in time after it started burning, and although several students died, the entire building was not destroyed or collapsed. It was later rebuilt on the site.
Because of the rumors about the library, it closes after 5 p.m. and students mostly avoid the area.
At this moment, most of the building is dark.
To avoid being discovered, Su Deng didn't turn on the lights and simply pried open the door.
It was pitch black inside, and you could only vaguely see things by the light from the school's streetlights and other teaching buildings.
Rows of bookshelves extend inward, with books of varying heights neatly arranged, and dim light shines through the gaps onto the floor.
Since they couldn't turn on the lights, they used props. Su Deng pulled out a pair of night vision goggles.
She wandered through the rows of bookshelves, finding nothing unusual, until she reached the very back. Looking at the shadows in the darkness, she paused, drew her sword, and walked silently into the second-to-last row of bookshelves around the corner.
After taking a few steps, he stopped, and the sword in his hand suddenly pierced through the books on the bookshelf, followed by a scream of terror!
"ah!"
"Don't move if you don't want to die."
Su Deng moved her sword slightly, pressing it against the other person's neck through the bookshelf.
"Um...I...I'm not a ghost..." a voice came from inside. "Don't move..."
She was a girl wearing a school uniform, around sixteen or seventeen years old.
Upon seeing Su Deng's stunningly beautiful face, he visibly paused, but quickly concealed it, saying nervously, "I...I just...came here to take a look..."
Su Deng squinted and took out a flashlight to shine on her.
Inside, the curtains were drawn, and the dim light couldn't be seen from outside.
But after taking pictures for a long time, there wasn't even a shadow under the girl's feet!
She has no shadow!
A ghost?
Su Deng paused slightly, then reached out to touch her face.
The girl saw her outstretched hand, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she raised her hand, leaning against the bookshelf in a gesture of surrender, remaining motionless.
It has a physical form and warmth, so it doesn't seem like a ghost.
...But what about her shadow?
“Swish——”
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past from behind.
The girl jumped in fright and dove behind Su Deng, shouting, "A ghost!"
Su Deng squinted, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
"I..." the girl explained with difficulty, "I came here to borrow books..."
"Do you think anyone would believe that excuse?" Su Deng sneered, turned off the light, and walked in the direction the dark figure had just passed.
The girl looked at the sword in her hand, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
“Pah—”
On the bookshelf in front, a book fell to the floor by itself and, in the still room, turned a few pages on its own.
The girl followed behind Su Deng, muttering to herself, "Could there really be a ghost?"
It was a biology book, and in the absence of wind and people, the pages turned slowly on their own, which was incredibly eerie.
Su Deng approached and used the sword in his hand to stab the book. The moment he touched it, the book exploded with a loud "boom" and burst into flames.
