Chapter 36 God Steps Down from the Throne
Inside the other world tower, the player's lounge.
The name of this place is "Hall", which is a common name, but there is not really only one hall.
Strictly speaking, this place is more like a square. It looks magnificent and exquisitely built at first glance.
If it were placed in the modern world, it would be a famous tourist attraction.
There are a total of eight teleportation points, including east, west, south, north, and both ends of the diagonal. Players can choose to enter from any port.
The square is divided into different areas, and the busiest ones are of course the various trading areas.
Every player's game store is different, and hidden items will appear at midnight every day. Some items are unique.
In addition, the rare and out-of-print items dropped from the dungeon are very worth exchanging.
As long as there is no malicious price gouging, the system will not block normal transactions.
So, some people simply started a business in this area to make a living.
In addition to the trading area, there is also a leisure area that includes all the activities and services available in the world.
Whether it’s karaoke, massage, or tea ceremony, as long as there’s a demand, there will be services.
Players have experienced many life-and-death experiences in dungeons, and every time they pass a level, they are reborn, so of course they have to enjoy it.
There's even a dedicated fitness area.
For example, the common collective square dance forces, roller skating forces, skateboarding forces, and ballroom dance forces.
They fight for territory every day, and the competition is even more intense than that between guilds and gangs.
Although the trading area is the busiest, the most eye-catching thing is the stage in the center of the square.
This place is usually used to broadcast various system notifications, and is sometimes requisitioned by players for activities.
From big boss competitions to small summer evening parties, there is everything.
After all, many people have long given up hope of leaving here and regard this place as the real world.
Live a good life wherever you are.
Right now, the stage is hosting an experience exchange meeting.
The organizer is also no stranger, he is the well-known bug dealer Wang Er.
Ever since he was taken away by the messenger of God and punished for his violation, Wang Er's reputation has not been damaged. Instead, he has become more popular because he has seen the true face of the Lord God.
Although strictly speaking, Zhuo Can was the first person to meet the Lord God, this lucky unlucky guy had already left the game world, and no one could interview him.
Wang Er, the only one who had seen Him, became the only chosen one.
The main god is young, with curly hair and brown eyes, and is soft, cute and adorable.
If someone asks Zhuo Can, Zhuo Can will answer truthfully.
It is also very likely that he is using the daddy filter to emphasize how cute he is.
But Wang Er is different.
He has no feelings for the main god; the god is just a tool he uses to increase his prestige.
If he escaped death and went back to tell others that the Lord of Gods who controlled all living beings was actually a baby, no one would believe him.
Wang Er relied on the fact that no one else had ever seen the Lord God, and described Him in a mysterious way.
There are three heads.
Eight legs.
The tail is thicker than that of a dinosaur and is covered with barbs.
Yes, it has a human face and a beast body.
It's scary, really, I'm not kidding.
A mouth that can spit fire!
Blah blah blah.
Since the monsters in each dungeon are extremely strange, it seems reasonable that the creator who created them is also ferocious and evil.
Besides, ever since Wang Er was taken away for punishment that day, God told him not to eat delicious food, and he really couldn't eat a single bite of meat.
The food column of your own game mall is completely locked, and you cannot touch the food contributed by others.
Besides the Lord God, who else can do it?
Therefore, no one questioned the authenticity of what Wang Er said about the Lord God.
Although the people in white are true messengers of God, they will not interact with ordinary players unless necessary. They will only appear when the system directs them to perform specific tasks.
In other words, although the probability of meeting a messenger of God is greater than meeting the main God, it is still a low-probability event overall.
Many people, especially newcomers, are unaware of the existence of God's messengers.
Wang Er is familiar with marketing, hype, and the right to speak. He takes advantage of the information gap and is so bold that he packages himself as the "Son of God."
Of course, the truth will never be revealed.
...If people knew that he recognized a three-year-old child as his father, his reputation in this life would be doomed.
After Wang Er's nickname "Son of God" spread, his popularity soared.
For a time, he was worshipped by people from all directions and enjoyed unparalleled glory.
Now he is on the stage, receiving everyone's admiring gazes, and speaking with great enthusiasm.
Until my younger brother hurried onto the stage.
I'm not usually so tactless. It must be something important.
Wang Er looked at him and asked what was wrong.
"Brother Wang, someone just contacted me in private, offering 120,000 points for the ultimate solution to your Ragnarok puzzle."
Wang Er raised his eyebrows.
"Ragnarok" is the most difficult level in the dungeon, and many powerful players have failed in this level.
Even if you manage to survive, the ultimate puzzle is not something you can easily come across.
He was able to pass the level because he took advantage of a bug.
But this bug was not easy to find, and even he had been studying it day and night for nearly half a year.
120,000 points is not a small number.
Low-level copies offer little reward, high-level copies are too difficult, and as players level up, the redemption items will become increasingly expensive.
Even if you get a lot of rewards in the dungeon, you will spend them all in the mall.
Many ordinary players can't even save half of it before they die.
This buyer must be someone with a strong family background, and he must have plundered and squeezed the points of many common people.
Quite interesting.
In fact, Wang Er hasn’t been selling bugs much recently.
He found that being a charlatan and preaching was much easier than being a middleman, and he didn't have to worry about making money, so why bother breaking the law?
Last time, I was punished by the Lord God and could not eat meat. I saw that all the delicacies in the points mall were grayed out, and even the delicacies offered by others were mosaiced and strictly prohibited from being eaten.
It's really painful.
After this incident, he knew better than anyone else that the Lord God would punish the guilty, and he would keep his word.
But this person gave too much.
Wang Er took the microphone, pretending to be distressed, and whispered, "I haven't told anyone the answer to that puzzle yet. It's different from other levels. Once one person solves it, the next refresh will be a year later. If this big guy wants to have it all to himself, it's not impossible, but the price is..."
The younger brother understood: "I'll ask him to pay more."
Wang Er was satisfied with his slipperiness: "Well, go ahead."
The audience could see with their own eyes that the Son of God looked better after hearing the report.
It's an auspicious sign.
Wang Er picked up the microphone again, cleared his throat, and was about to speak.
At the same time, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the square.
At first everyone thought there was something wrong with his microphone, until the dazzling red light filled every corner of the game hall and it could no longer be covered up by saying something was wrong with one party.
The old players' faces changed.
Generally speaking, each player's punishment will only be announced within their own channel.
It's a little troublesome. It will be reported within the area, but it will not affect the normal activities of other players.
Only when the situation reaches a certain level of severity will there be such a big scene.
——In short, this is a rare system-wide penalty notification.
[Warning! Player Wang Er has seriously violated the rules of the game!]
[Warning! Player Wang Er, stop your behavior immediately! ]
Warning! Warning! Warning!
The expression of the person being named changed instantly.
Such warnings are rare, but he experienced them twice in just half a year.
The punishment last time was painful enough, what is this time - what could it be?
He dropped the phone and tried to run.
The microphone rolled to the ground, making the same harsh sound.
Amplified countless times by the speakers and mixed with the 360° surround system alarms, it was a terrifying torture for the audience near the stage.
But his escape was unsuccessful.
Even if a huge amount of points is used to upgrade the speed, humans are still humans and cannot be faster than AI.
In full view of everyone, Wang Er, who had been so arrogant just now, just disappeared.
This was not the first time that Wang Er was taken away, but the last time, two gods’ messengers appeared and tore him away.
This time, his entire body was pixelated, the mosaic spreading from his feet upwards, stuck in place.
His face was frozen in a look of horror, as if he had also encountered a bug.
The consequences of this bug are unimaginable.
Everyone felt a chill.
*
Amusement park.
After not seeing it for a few months, this place seems a little dilapidated.
Although the colors remain pink and every weird ride is still running, there is a sense of desolation for some reason.
The last time Wang Er was brought here, he was filled with fear but also curiosity about the unknown.
After all, no one has ever seen the Lord God, let alone know how the Lord God’s punishment would be different from the system’s.
This time, the only thing left after going back to prison for the second time was fear - a deep fear of the unknown.
There was no divine messenger appearing, no unnecessary notifications from the system, he was teleported here directly.
Normally, teleportation only applies to two situations:
Or, actively choose to go to a certain copy or location.
Or, after success, the level will "spit" you back into the lounge.
If someone needs to be taken away, a divine messenger in white will usually appear and forcibly take him away.
He once again created something "unprecedented", although this time he might never have the chance to brag about it to others.
After transforming again, Wang Er looked up and saw the little main god.
The Lord God still looks the same age, not taller or fatter, and his little face is as delicate as a doll.
He was wearing a plain white robe and sitting in the pumpkin carriage of the carousel. The angel halo above his head flickered, creating a strange harmony.
The human felt an invisible force driving his knees to weaken and he knelt before Him.
Wang Er bravely glanced at Him secretly.
Unlike the last time when He was innocent and didn't even know what the punishment was, this time He became very indifferent.
Even though it was a cute pumpkin carriage that only children would play with, He seemed to be sitting on the throne of a majestic temple.
God looks down upon all living things.
All living things are nothing but ants to Him.
The young Lord God looked down at him.
There was no emotion in the originally sweet caramel-colored eyes, and the condescending gaze was even more cold.
The masked divine messenger in white asked respectfully, "How will you deal with him?"
Wang Er remembered this guy. He was the leader of this group of masked men.
That time, this man was still holding the Lord God.
Today, it seems like I am afraid to touch God.
He thought for a moment and said, "This isn't his first offense, is it?"
Just a few words, the tone was flat, the voice was cold and indifferent, unlike such a young child.
The little sugar bean who spoke in a coquettish tone last time was nowhere to be found.
Wang Er shuddered.
On the surface, the tower seems to be functioning normally in the past few months, but in reality, things are a bit chaotic.
The copy judgment mechanism frequently makes mistakes. Those who should win lose, those who should lose win, those who should live die, and those who should die live. It seems that it all depends on random luck.
No one was repairing the system, and the gods' messengers that were occasionally seen were walking in a more hurried pace than before.
There are rumors that the main god has disappeared.
Wang Er claims to be the son of God and the only person who has seen God.
Even he was not sure of God's whereabouts, so he couldn't just let others make up stories and steal the limelight.
Out of selfish motives, he refuted rumors about God many times.
However, rumors are the most cunning and cannot be suppressed.
In addition, he has not been summoned by God recently, so there is no way to prove it.
Now, he prostrates himself at the feet of God, and the rumors are self-defeating.
It seems that the Lord God is not only not missing, but has also become an "upgraded version".
As cold and heartless as most people stereotype him.
Wang Er had a bad feeling.
This time, the punishment from the indifferent God may be far different from the simple confiscation of food last time.
He can still use bugs to sweep through the horror game, but in front of the creator of the game - can he?
Does God have bugs?
A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Wang Er banged his head on the ground and was the first to beg for mercy: "I'm sorry, Lord God, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again..."
It is wrong to violate the rules of the game without permission, and it is even more serious to resell bugs, drive up prices and disrupt the operating order.
Now, he dared to use the head to gain fame for himself. His crime is unforgivable.
The little boy lowered his eyes like a saint and said softly, "Then, confiscate it forever."
His childish voice was still sweet and soft, but the words he spoke made Wang Er shudder.
He understood forever, but what was confiscation?
The game account can be recovered by the system, but how can a living person be confiscated?
Wang Er instantly lost all color and spoke incoherently: "I was wrong, let me go, please..."
A dull creaking sound came from his ears, and he turned his head stiffly, seeing that all the wooden horses and pumpkin carriages were turning towards him.
Their huge eyes were gloomy and lifeless, and suddenly their mouths opened.
There was nothingness inside.
The unknown is the deepest fear.
No one knows what's inside—not only Wang Er, but even the silent white-robed divine messengers.
The gods had never punished anyone in this way before.
The desire to survive overwhelmed the fear of the law. Wang Er burst out with amazing strength, broke free from the invisible restraints, and in a panic pushed away the messenger of God standing behind him and tried to escape.
The Lord God raised his little hand, and a circle of shining water-rippled table appeared on his wrist.
The bracelet gradually grew larger and moved away from His body, until it trapped the escaping Wang Er.
Wang Er had no chance to resist at all, he couldn't even move a finger, and watched helplessly as he was taken to the carousel by the light cage.
Then, the pink unicorn closest to him gave a twisted smile and slowly opened its bloody mouth.
Such a powerful human being, a proud and omnipotent human being in the eyes of other players, was wiped out in an instant without leaving a single word.
The halo returned to the Lord's wrist, shook for a moment, and then disappeared.
Even the man in white behind him was frightened and swallowed his saliva: "The player..."
The leading divine messenger interrupted him: "This is not your business."
"……sorry."
The casualty rate in the dungeon is very high, and death is not uncommon.
But being devoured by the mechanisms, monsters, and ghosts in the game and being judged outside the game are two completely different concepts.
Players work so hard to survive in every world, but in the hands of the judge, they are as light as a piece of paper.
What color and shape it is, He has the final say.
It only takes a thought to tear it apart.
Even the messenger of God felt an indescribable uneasiness.
Many of them can be said to have watched the young god grow up.
From a baby who could only lie down, kick his arms and legs and blow bubbles, to babbling, to toddling, and now to the little troublemaker who is running around everywhere.
Gazing at the gradual changes of life is like watching a long blooming of flowers.
He is innocent, and although he is a little moody, that is all within the range of emotional changes a child can have, and it is the common willfulness of spoiled children.
Although it may sound disrespectful, He was indeed their beloved and only little treasure.
The rumors among the players were not groundless. In fact, the Lord God really disappeared for a while.
Zhuo Can, the only player before him who had cleared all the dungeons, disappeared with that human after that lucky afternoon tea.
The leader of the gods will handle this matter, and no one else has the authority to interfere. All they can do is wait.
Just a few days ago, the Lord God reappeared.
After I came back, things became... different.
The childishness that is unique to young children is gone. They no longer act cute and act coquettishly around them, and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Suddenly, I went from being a child and playing with adult playmates to feeling an unreachable distance between the people and God.
What remains is only God's joylessness, angerlessness, and mercy.
Many gods felt something was wrong, but they did not have the courage or authority to find out what was happening.
The leading god, Oriel, took the Lord God out of the pumpkin carriage and told the others, "Go and do what you need to do. Don't follow me."
"yes."
The other gods stopped where they were, watched their background disappear, and returned to their respective jobs.
A temple appeared in a place that no one could see.
Empty and deserted.
Oriel passed through the holy white wind banners, walked past the majestic holy pillars and the long ladder, and placed the young Lord God on the lonely throne.
"Do you have any other instructions?"
He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the god.
The gods' messengers all watched the young gods grow up, and among them, Oriel was the best.
He is extremely serious in front of other gods and players, and is known as the Cold-Faced Shura.
But towards the young god, he is always as gentle as an older brother.
The young god also loves and depends on him.
In the past, there was not much distance between them when they talked, but today it was completely different.
God is no longer a “child”; God’s identity is only “God.”
God walked down from the throne, and clouds appeared at His feet in due time, and He walked into the void.
"Mian Li" suddenly transformed from a three-year-old child into an adult.
Step on the golden light and lotus will bloom with every step.
It has the same angel halo as the young god, but without the young god's mischievous devil tail.
His hair color is similar to the young god's, but his eyes are a cold and lonely blue.
He lowered his eyes indifferently.
“You did a great job.”
The voice was clear, cold and noble, like a long-frozen spring in the coldest depths of winter.
The author has something to say:
It turned out to be a fake Li Li =口=
I wish you all a happy holiday! Eat well, have fun, and rest well! Don't forget to visit Lili!
