Searching for "Jiang Yuanshi" (Thirteen)
Absurd game.
"But you didn't tell me what you look like now, nor did you tell me the range. How can we find you?" A system looked up at the sky and asked.
The game maker said: [I am here, among you, and I can be anything.]
This is an unsolvable game. The systems are confused, but no matter how many questions they ask, the issuer will no longer respond.
The game begins.
Some of the systems gathered together out of curiosity to discuss, some began to look for treasures aimlessly, and some took the opportunity to rest... Anyway, winning or losing has nothing to do with the system, and they won't lose anyway.
But the main gods in the hall don’t think so.
Why does it still exist? Why hasn't it disappeared?
We must not let that thing appear again. This is the most consistent answer given by the main gods after all their wild thoughts.
While the main gods were stunned, the rebellious system had already escaped. The main gods stood in the hall, looking at the group of scattered systems. No system honestly surrendered to them. Since that thing appeared, the systems seemed to have forgotten their existence and did their own things.
It was a scene that they hadn't seen for a long time. The gods couldn't stop trembling. They couldn't tell whether it was because of the anger of having their authority ignored or something else. They had to find that thing. They tried to sense it, but something that made them shudder happened.
Unlike the previous time when it was unsenseable, this time that thing was everywhere. It existed in every system in front of it, big or small. It was a really good trick.
The mission issued is only to find "Jiang Yuanshi", but now there are countless "Jiang Yuanshi" in front of the gods.
The system just needs to find it, and the main gods... their goal from the beginning was to destroy it.
They need to kill all possibilities, which means that all systems of the Book Bureau will be destroyed. In this way, the Book Bureau will stop operating, and it will take countless years to wait for the birth and commissioning of new systems. During that window period, the entire Book Bureau can only rely on the Lord God himself, and those countless worlds have to rely on them for support and operation, otherwise the Book Bureau will no longer exist.
Can gods wipe out everything? They don't know. After all, they were promoted by the system and became gods by absorbing the power of the true gods.
So can a system kill a system? This violates the sixth rule of the Chuanshuju: internal fighting within the system is prohibited.
But... those were the rules when order existed. Now order and true gods no longer exist. Now they are the gods who control the Book Traveling Bureau.
I have to say that the thing that has not yet taken shape is indeed smart, but I forgot one thing, they have the power of true God. Since "Jiang Yuanshi" is everywhere, then just extract "Jiang Yuanshi" and piece it together. Just like 404's divine blood, it will just cause some damage to the system, but it doesn't matter as long as they are alive, they can continue to work.
The systems that have not yet realized the danger are still doing their own things. After the game was released, many systems began to search for the origin of "Jiang Yuanshi". There is no system that does not know the name Z01. Not only is he the number one in performance in the Unfinished and Discontinued Department, he is also the number one in performance in the Chuanshuju. He is privately called a "workaholic" by the systems. After all, no system can work all year round and seamlessly connect.
This is horrible.
Some time ago, the story of a ruthless workaholic falling in love with a human, devoting all his achievements to him, but then being betrayed and splitting up, and both dying, had just died down for a short time, but now it has been brought up again. Now there is almost no system that doesn’t know about "Jiang Yuanshi". What a powerful human being, he could actually turn a workaholic into a terrifying love-brained person, and now he has suddenly resurrected and is targeting the main gods everywhere.
Judging from the appearance of the main gods, they seem to be very afraid of each other.
What did Jiang Yuanshi and Z01 do? Did they really break up? Then why did they sound so harmonious just now?
The systems were puzzled. They analyzed the problem with each other while doing their own things. Finally, they came to the conclusion: it was a problem with the Lord God.
While the main gods were staring at the system, the systems were also looking at the gods, and it seemed that two were missing?
The two who have always had a bad relationship just can't understand why the systems that don't have to go to work now have no sense of crisis facing the main god. Working endlessly is no different from being dead. At worst, just destroy them. Anyway, they have no place or time to spend the willpower from work. It's like generating electricity with love. The problem is that the systems don't like to go to work.
Many systems were particularly grateful for the appearance of Jiang Yuanshi and Z01, because their intervention gave them some breathing time.
Although it is very likely that they will be implicated in the internal fighting among the big guys, the systems have long been dissatisfied with their treatment in the Book Bureau. The salary is not high and they work very hard. After sending a system away, they can only get 20% of the total wish value, and the rest belongs to the Book Bureau. The so-called total wish value is still the total number remaining after the task is settled, not counting the consumption. This is very difficult. The host often has to exchange wish value when completing the task. The spent wish value belongs to the Book Bureau, and 80% of the wish value for completed tasks also belongs to the Book Bureau.
After a whole half day, the host can still realize his wish when he is tired, but the system with poor ability can only get a little wish power salary to survive. Although the system with excellent ability gets a lot, it is also saved hard, or some systems will deceive and prevent the host from using the wish power value, etc.
After the high-dimensional system got to know the human world because of its curiosity about the human "Jiang Yuanshi", they discovered that there was no difference between high-dimensional creatures and humans. They were all ordinary workers. In the human world, the main god was called "the evil capitalist."
It fits the bill very well, but the evil capitalists are about to step down, and the possibility of such a thing happening in the system world is too small.
The systems have long been harboring resentment in their hearts, not to mention that those gods were originally the same as them. If one could become a god by doing good work, then even if they couldn't, why couldn't Z01?
The gods of the book-passing bureau have not changed for a long time. If even a powerful system like Z01 cannot become the main god and is even destroyed, then when will ordinary systems like them have a chance to rise? Will they end up like Z01 and be wiped out if their abilities become better one day?
Just as everyone was discussing the matter, the Lord God took action.
All systems suddenly froze.
The systems floated up and were gathered together. Their data were being forcibly extracted. It was a painful feeling. The appearance of many systems began to distort and deform, making "crackling" sounds of collapse. Smoke came out of the heads of some systems, and the appearance showed mosaics and flowers. Some even crashed directly.
The systems that were still awake watched their companions being extracted for data and died. They were conscious, but could do nothing. Perhaps they would be the next to die. The systems looked at the gods that controlled them and questioned themselves in their hearts.
Why? They didn't do anything.
Then they watched as red or blue data was extracted from their companions' bodies and floated up into the sky, and listened to the main gods say: "Gather those things together and then destroy them. We can't let them escape anymore."
"But I didn't expect that many systems would break down like this."
"It can only be said that the system quality is not good. It's better to replace it. It's just a matter of time. A new system will be produced in a while. As we just said, we will keep the ones that can run and work, but the prerequisite is to drain all the willpower and resentment in their bodies."
The Lord's voice was extremely clear and all systems heard it.
In the eyes of those gods, I am just a tool and my death is not a pity.
This is unfair. The Lord God is obviously also a system. Why?
The systems that were still able to function quickly analyzed the data and sent their companions. The Lord God did not let go of any system. This proved that every system had what they wanted.
The Lord God also said that he would destroy "willpower" and another power with the same name.
That can only be Jiang Yuanshi and Z01.
The systems couldn't help but recall Jiang Yuanshi's first words:
[I am here, among you, and can be anything]
If this is the case, the systems are winners from the very beginning. This is a welfare game that belongs to the systems.
But now, those gods want to destroy it, even at the cost of killing their own kind.
That's too much.
If this can be called God, then they would rather Jiang Yuanshi and Z01 become gods. At least they are on the side of the system now.
God is unworthy of his position and is lawless. He is clearly just a false God.
If the true God still exists, if the supervisor "order" still exists...
The systems lost consciousness, and the matter extracted from the sky formed a circle, but it was incomplete and a corner was missing.
The main gods confirmed again and again that all the systems had been drained clean. Perhaps the circle was originally incomplete, but Jiang Yuanshi and his men had repeatedly revived it, causing them to become suspicious and look for the missing pieces everywhere.
"Who is missing?"
The main god had no idea. When several gods looked at each other, one of them, the black hooded god, said, "Actually... maybe there is more."
Black Hood hesitated to speak, which annoyed several other gods. They all asked each other what was going to happen next. Black Hood sighed and said, "I have a bad guess. Since that thing is in every system, then...will we be included in it? After all, we are also a system."
“…”
All the gods were silent.
They wanted to say it was impossible, but at the moment, out of fear of that thing, they had to test themselves. However, it turned out that the Black Hood God's guess was correct, and there was a red and blue thing rotating in their bodies.
The Lord God took a deep breath, made a decision, and dissected himself. Everyone signed a contract and acted at the same time. Those who violated the contract would be stripped of their title to God and disappear on the spot.
Contract signed.
The gods cut open themselves, took out matter, and the circle was completed.
…
No, it hasn't taken shape yet.
God watched and saw that the circle was still missing a little bit.
What's going on?
The main god's extraction of himself is equivalent to consuming divine power. Right now all the gods are in a semi-weak state. They look at each other vigilantly, and then they find something wrong, and some gods do not take action.
They looked at the Black Hood, who just stood there quietly, watching a show, without moving an inch.
"You...you didn't do anything, what do you want to do? Even if we are weak, you can't beat us... No, you broke the contract, why?"
The Black Hood shrugged, and his originally majestic posture suddenly became lazy and said: "Because I'm not a god."
How is this possible?
"You obviously have divine power!" A god started to speak, but he suddenly stopped in the middle of his words, "No, why don't you have divine power now? You still had it just now? How could this be?!"
The gods gathered around him and reached out their hands to him.
The opponent dodged by turning sideways and retreated several hundred meters.
Such a fast speed! Without divine power, the system can’t achieve this.
"What on earth are you...you..."
You took a long time to finish your words. Under his cloak, his bony, sickly white hands were revealed, with deep scars on his wrists. He raised his black hood and took it off. That face...
"Ysl404? How could you still be alive?"
404 smiled with a pale face: "Why can't I live?"
There was no time to worry about that. The gods said, "You are also a god, quickly cut the thing out!"
404 tilted his head in confusion and said, "God? Didn't you suck all my divine blood away? I am a human now, even if something forcibly cuts me open I will die."
"Impossible, you just had the divine power to sign the contract, how come now..."
"Because it was me who signed it." A voice sounded among the gods. The gods turned around and saw the black hood appeared among them again. No... They looked left and right. Are there two of them?
"You... who are you?" Shen Chaoqi attacked, but his divine power was swallowed up.
A pair of amber eyes appeared under the black hood, with a smile that chilled the gods: "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Yuanshi."
"..." The main gods sensed the divine power of the other party, "This is impossible, you are just a human!"
Jiang Yuanshi smiled and said, "Yes, or rather... originally, I have to thank you all. If you hadn't let me become the vessel of willpower, slaughter gods and draw blood, and squeeze and dissect your systems, then this wouldn't have happened."
Jiang Yuanshi took off his hood, revealing his amber eyes, but his pupils were now dark red. The dark red color overflowed from his eye sockets, turned into crystals and wandered on his skin, forming a strange and gorgeous mark.
The formation of the round table was imprinted in those eyes.
The god met his gaze and tears of blood flowed from his eyes.
"You...you swallowed the resentment?"
"No, we are just together forever." The human laughed. He moved closer to the god, but the god avoided his sight and trembled uncontrollably. Jiang Yuanshi was a little disappointed. "Aren't you going to do it? It's really boring."
The human was fearless, relying on his strange and frightening power, and he showed off in front of the gods. When he was about to leave, the gods took advantage of his back and pierced his chest, just like they did when they killed and took away their companions' power.
I don't know when a restriction was placed on my body and I can't move.
A big hole was dug out in the human's body. The gods shook off the sticky blood and extracted what they wanted most. They looked at the tiny human falling down with... a smile on their faces?
The circle is filled.
And humans disappeared before their eyes.
The red and blue circle split into two, chasing and rotating each other. The god raised his hand to destroy them. However, the moment the power touched them, it was as if he was under a forbidden spell, unable to move, and could only watch his power being drained away.
The circle turned higher and higher, and behind him came 404's voice: "You are clearly trying every means to eliminate them, but you seem to have forgotten that Wish and Resentment are branches of the True God. Order, my divine blood, and your power all come from the same source, you idiots."
The empty, snow-white space was stained with color, the circle exhausted itself, and a thin crack appeared on the top.
The crack appeared just when they thought the other party's strength was exhausted.
Two mists of different colors spread out from the crack, condensed into hands, and opened the gap bit by bit.
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a strange-colored eye in the blank space. The pupil circled around and around, with red and blue rings rotating alternately. The center of the eye was endless black, and there was a hint of difference at the end of the abyss.
Amber lights up the center like flowing gold.
That was... the Eye of Order that had never been seen before.
A new "order" was born.
