After being busy for so long and personally leading today's ceremony just to give Yang Jia a surprise, Li Bai was standing next to Yang Jia at this moment, feeling a little happy.
However, this joy only lasted for a very short time before turning into panic.
Because Yang Jia, who was standing next to her, hurriedly ended the ceremony after asking everyone to stand up and pulled Li Bai off the stage.
When leaving, there was no need to go down the stairs, but to go out directly from the side of the platform. As soon as the two of them left the sight of everyone, Yang Jia's body went limp and he fell down.
Li Bai reached out his hand in time and pulled the person into his arms. He had no idea what was going on and was shocked, angry and panicked.
But she also knew that at this critical moment, Yang Jia's coma couldn't be known. Although she had been suppressing the people under her wing, now that Yang Jia had taken this position, he would become the center of everyone's attention. If the news got out, it would undoubtedly cause unrest.
In such a short period of time, Li Bai could make people submit, but he could not win their hearts.
She immediately made a phone call and called Bai Ting and others, asking them to try to send Yang Jia back to the bedroom and settle him down, and then find a way to find out the cause of his coma. She herself would step forward to deal with the next matter.
At this critical moment, Li Bai naturally wanted to stay by Yang Jia's side. After all, her worries and panic were no less than anyone else's. But she knew she couldn't show it; she had to stabilize everything for Yang Jia.
Fortunately, she had been the sole controller of all these matters. For a long time, no one believed she was pushing Yang Jia to the throne, believing she would become the empress herself. Even now, many people believed Yang Jia was only her concubine, and that she still held the final say. Therefore, Yang Jia had not appeared after the ceremony, and for a while, no one questioned her.
On this side, after sending the person back to the room, many people were called in to check, but they could not find the cause of the coma. Bai Ting and others looked at each other in confusion, feeling helpless.
"What is going on?" Qin Yan asked.
Bai Ting was a little annoyed, "How should I know what's going on? The ceremony had just ended and Li Bai asked me to come over, and she was already like this."
"At least on the surface, she is in good health and has no problems," said Du Qing.
Zhuo Tianyang, who had somehow gotten here, suddenly spoke up, "You said she fell unconscious right after the ceremony? Could this be related to the ceremony?"
"What could it possibly be? There was no food or drink at the ceremony, and Li Bai is still hosting the banquet. Even if someone wanted to harm her, they'd have to go through some kind of intermediary, right?" Zhang Zitao, who had also been summoned, said. Although this was a game world, it adhered to certain basic rules. Unless the system specified otherwise, such mysterious things wouldn't occur.
Wait... System Settings?!
If anyone besides Li Bai knew that Yang Jia had a deep connection with the system, it would be Zhang Zitao. Furthermore, he had been conducting research in this area, so it was easy for him to make the connection.
If the so-called coronation ceremony triggered some changes in the system, then Yang Jia's coma could be explained.
A long time ago, this kind of thing happened once before. Yang Jia was unconscious for several days before waking up. Nothing serious happened, but she said she received a lot of information from the system. Could it be the same this time?
Although she is not connected to the helmet now, considering that the entire world is created by the system, all of them are actually just a piece of data. They may need a helmet as a medium to enter the data world, but they can do whatever the system wants directly.
Zhang Zitao's guess was basically correct.
The moment he accepted everyone's kneeling worship, Yang Jia suddenly felt as if there was some extra sound in his ears.
The sound was not pleasant, but rather very noisy. It was probably composed of many tiny fragmented sounds, like everyone in a square with thousands of people gathered whispering. It was difficult to hear clearly, but it kept ringing in my ears.
At the beginning, the sound was very small, so it didn't have much impact, but soon, the sound became louder and louder, as if it was exploding in her ears, making Yang Jia dizzy.
It was at this moment that she sensed something was wrong, and she hurriedly pulled Li Bai away, even omitting some of the polite words that should have been said at this time.
Then she lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, Yang Jia found himself back in the data space.
She clearly didn't put on the helmet to actively connect, but she still appeared here. The only system that could do this was probably the one that Yang Jia had always found incomprehensible.
Yang Jia soon discovered that he seemed to be "out of his control" in his current state. He could not control himself at all. He could only be swept away by the flow of information and moved forward rapidly. The speed was so fast that Yang Jia could not even see the passing environment clearly.
She only vaguely felt that she had changed many routes along the way, some of which were key nodes, but this time, she was not disguised and did not encounter any obstacles at all.
Then she came to the central area, which she had never penetrated before.
Here, she saw the core of the system for the first time. It was a massive crystal that stretched from the sky to the earth, radiating countless streams of information, like a thousand colorful ribbons dancing around it, dazzling the eyes.
Then Yang Jia was directly "knocked" into the crystal.
Everything went dark before her eyes and she lost consciousness again.
An invisible energy swept over her, as if detecting something familiar, and then let it pass, allowing Yang Jia to enter the core area of the crystal.
This was the core of the crystal, so when information flowed through it, it naturally flowed through it. However, no information flow seemed to notice this, and the system continued to operate smoothly without any changes.
Yang Jia seemed to have become a part of this crystal, a part of this system.
Until she heard that thin, noisy voice again, as if countless people were whispering.
But Yang Jia suddenly could distinguish these sounds.
She heard people chatting and laughing, others talking to themselves, others discussing things, and even some crying and laughing. She also heard the wind, frost, rain, snow, lightning and thunder; she heard the grass growing, the birds singing and the flowers blooming; she heard the earth's crust moving and volcanoes erupting...
These countless voices gathered in my ears, but they were no longer noisy, and each one seemed so organized.
In an instant, something seemed to dawn on my mind: this was the voice of the world.
It is composed of the sounds made by all things that exist in this world. Some are big, some are small, some are earth-shaking, and some are silent, but to her, they are all the same, clear and distinct.
Then who is she?
She is the rules and origin of the world's operation, the core that makes everything appear orderly and logical. This world was constructed by her, and is also managed and protected by her.
She is everywhere and can do everything.
No, that's not right... this is not her.
Suddenly, I heard a very clear voice in my ears, "Why hasn't Yang Jia woken up yet? It's been seven days."
Yang Jia——!!
These two words exploded in her consciousness like thunder.
By the way, this is her name, she is Yang Jia.
Then who is Yang Jia?
The moment this thought occurred, countless pieces of information gushed out, but her sea of consciousness was so vast that it could easily accommodate all of this information, so she wasn't affected at all. She read through the information as quickly as possible, and finally understood her identity.
She is Yang Jia, an NPC born in the game world.
But she is also a researcher named Yang Jia in reality, who fell into a deep sleep after being infected with the virus.
Now, she is also part of the system that creates and maintains the entire game world.
This story is too long to tell.
If we trace this story back in time, it should be from the outbreak of the Great War nearly five hundred years ago. After this war that lasted for a full century, Mother Earth, on which humanity depends for survival, was left in tatters and in imminent danger.
During this century, the power of humanity on Earth has undergone tremendous changes. Small nations have become dependent on larger nations, larger nations have formed alliances, and nations have ceased to exist, ultimately resulting in a three-way balance of power. With Earth on the brink of destruction, humanity is forced to cease fighting, lay down their weapons, and begin the struggle for survival.
More than four hundred years later, humans finally found a new planet in space with an environment similar to that of the Earth in all aspects, and it is speculated that humans can survive on it.
However, the development of the new planet was not smooth, and the DIE virus that broke out on it was even more terrifying.
Therefore, considering that the current Earth environment is very different from that of Hope Star, in order to prevent ordinary people from having difficulty adapting to the environment after immigration, and also to study the DIE virus in a simulated environment, the "Real Project" was launched immediately after the Three Districts Summit.
A large number of top researchers have been gathered here to carry out research and development on this project, bit by bit building a super intelligent computer called Feitian, and then inputting various data into it, using the intelligent computer to automatically generate a game world that combines the environments of the Earth and Hope Star.
After several failures, a complete and stable world was constructed, and the "real" project was declared a success.
That same year, Professor Yang, the project leader who had single-handedly built Fei Tian, fell critically ill and handed the project over to others. Before leaving, however, Professor Yang created a "useless" NPC within the system's core and bound it to a chip. Using this chip as the core, he crafted a special helmet. Before his death, he traveled to the moon and placed it on the head of his daughter, a researcher dedicated to science who had been infected with a virus and fallen into a deep sleep.
