First Player

He looked around and saw that many people had white marks on the backs of their hands, some with one or two, and some with three or four.

"I remember that after the world game in the ruined world ended, the people who controlled the powerful power were unscrupulous and even killed children for fun, causing the whole world to be devastated. But your world looks very peaceful and there is no trouble." Su Mingan looked around, looking at the city Go up in good order.

"The reason is very simple: someone has the power to crush everything." Chaoyan said calmly: "As long as one person's power dominates the entire world, there will be no large-scale chaos, because it can be easily suppressed, so no one dares to cause chaos."

Su Mingan’s eyes darkened slightly.

 This means...In the world game, an absolutely strong person is needed to suppress others and stop chaos. Part of the reason why the ruined world fell into chaos was that the Nine Seats did not have the crushing power to stop the war. Akto was even killed by the mob in the end.

so…

 Humanity still needs a “god”.

A guess was about to come out in his mind, and he seemed to hear an echo from somewhere.

“...God?” He asked very softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything. Although it is just a single word, it can make people understand what he is confirming.

 He wanted to ask,

 —Are gods this kind of crushing force? Is this what brings peace to your world?

—Are gods...the "number one players" in your world game?

Although the pure white **** looks emotionless, like an innate god. But before He became God, was it possible that He had human nature? But after He became a god, nothing was left.

so,

 Has [the first player] become a "god"?

 …

Facing Su Ming'an's cautious inquiry, Chaoyan said in a deep voice: "The deity is not the number one player, but it still counts. It was the number one player who exchanged a powerful prop for her to become a deity."

 “She?” Su Mingan was surprised. Before the gods became gods, were they originally women?

"Well, in a universal sense, she is a woman...of course she can also be a man sometimes." Chaoyan considered his words carefully.

 Appears to be a transgender person. Su Mingan said: "Then the first player doesn't become a **** himself and chooses to let others become gods. Where did the first player go?"

Chaoyan said: "Missing."

"Missing?"

"Maybe he went to high dimensions, maybe he committed suicide due to too much pressure, maybe he was killed by his enemies, maybe he wandered like crazy, maybe he lived in seclusion. No one knows the ending of the first player. Many people speculate that he took the opportunity to become a **** After giving it to the gods, he himself merged into the gods, so the gods may also be the first player, losing the emotions he had as a human being." Chaoyan said.

Su Mingan listen. Even though it was someone else's ending, the more he heard it, the more it felt like a curse on himself: "Do you know the first player?"

"We know. Xiao Jingsan, Li Mingyue and I all know the first player. Since the World Game selects one-seventh of the population to participate, Su Luoluo and Li Yuxuan did not participate in the world game. They do not know the first player." Chaoyan said .

 “What kind of person is the first player?”

Chaoyan recalled: "Optimistic, gentle. He%￥#@*...!"

Su Mingan heard a bunch of garbled words, and he immediately asked Chao Yan to say it again, but the result was still a bunch of garbled words. It seems that the blocking mechanism of World Game prevents him from receiving this information. At the beginning of the dungeon, when he first met Chaoyan, an orphan from a small village, Chaoyan could not tell her her real name. Until now, "Chaoyan" was the name given to her by Su Ming'an, and she did not know what taboo information her real name contained.

 He then asked a lot of questions, which were all a bunch of gibberish.

“Then why did you become the tenth copy of the world game?” Su Mingan asked. The ruined world has also become the ninth dungeon, which always gives him an inescapable fear.

"...I don't know." Chaoyan lowered his head and took a deep breath: "I don't know."

She also looked dazed, with her fingers curled up and a look of nightmare-like pain on her face.

"Is it caused by the bet between the gods?" Su Mingan said: "The gods made a bet with the organizer on whether I had authority, so the Old World became the tenth copy. The gods only need to provide the Old World as a The venue of the dungeon allows players to help the old world to close the world line, so it doesn’t matter if it is the tenth dungeon, right?”

Chaoyan lowered her head, with a vague expression on her face. She looked like she really didn't know.

Su Mingan didn’t pay much attention to the truth. He still believed that this was a simulation of the third tower, not a real one from a thousand years ago, so the information obtained may not be true.

 But the matter of the first player becoming a **** has always been stuck in his throat, and he can't get up or get down. He knew very well that if the world game really ended with all heroes joining forces and no one would obey anyone, then a chaotic post-war situation would very likely occur. Even if the Peak Alliance tries to maintain stability and the United Group tries to maintain order, but... only the level of "god" combat power can suppress everyone, like the absolute suppression of 9999 combat power. So the best way is indeed to make a trustworthy person become a god.

 As the maintainer of order and stability, God is undoubtedly qualified. Everything he does is in line with God’s vision, but some methods are too cruel. Ask yourself, Su Mingan cannot do the extremely ruthless and great behavior of a god. But if you want civilization to survive, you need such a cold "civilization manager".

 “...What about me?” Su Mingan said.

Facing the attention of everyone, he repeated: "What about me, where did this old **** of mine come from?"

 …

　　【Old God, Asastor. This is the name that Su Mingan found in an ancient book. The ancient book is very blurry and the text is intermittent. It should be the real name of the old god. 】

　　【But he looked through ancient books, but could not find the real name of the god. If the gods are those who seek power and usurp the throne, there should be a **** beside Asasto. However, nothing was found, as if the gods appeared out of thin air. 】

 …

 The gods are from last year's World game, so gods will appear suddenly. Where did the old gods come from?

 “It’s very simple.” Su Luoluo stood next to him.

Her eyes were filled with the silence of dusk, she raised her head and looked at the fiery clouds at the end of the sky. He crossed his arms across his chest, as if in deep emotion.

 …"This shows that the world game happened more than once."

 …

 Under the respectful **** of people, Su Mingan returned to the residence of the old gods. The huge room was filled with divine coldness.

 He frowned and rubbed his temples.

 …The World Game happened more than once.

 This information is too huge.

According to Surolo, every once in a while, the world game will happen, and one-seventh of the population will be selected to participate. This is the third time so far. It should be the first time in the world game. The wishes of all those who completed the game were not coordinated properly, causing the world game to continue to come to this world. Moreover, the wish-making sessions in the next two world games also failed to solve the problem.

 The most terrifying thing is a casual remark made by Su Luoluo, seemingly casually:

"We only have three world games in our memory, but who knows if it exceeds this number? Who knows if there is a group of people who made a wish to protect the remaining human beings, but did not make a wish to protect themselves, and were The world game obliterates…”

This possibility is chilling. As if to say that the world's population should have been eight billion, not seven billion, one billion people have been wiped out by the world game, and no one knows they exist.

 …He didn’t know if this information was fabricated by Duoying, but it should be true.

"Chaoyan." Su Mingan looked at Chaoyan, who stood quietly under the light: "Can you answer my questions about the old gods?"

 He tilted his head towards Chaoyan, as if there were amber in his eyes.

"There is no doubt that you are indeed our old god. You appeared a hundred years ago and have led us for a long time. From the first world game to the present, your wisdom and charm have conquered us. Although you later won the world game None of them have participated, but you are indeed a **** in our eyes." Chaoyan said.

"But I am Su Ming'an, not a **** from a hundred years ago. It doesn't matter if I am possessed, but this is clearly my body. I am a player. How could I have led you for a long, long time?" Su Ming'an said: "Unless you say , this body of mine has been moving on its own, without my control, it has been moving on its own, leading you for so many years."

 “That’s right.” Chaoyan nodded.

Su Mingan was helpless, how could this be possible? It seemed that Chaoyan couldn't explain it.

"My body is not a divine body, nor does it have divine power. It is only human in nature. How can I be called a god?" Su Ming'an confirmed: "You actually think that I am a god?"

Chao Yan said: "Yes. God does not have to be powerful. The point is that we believe in you and want to believe that you are God."

Su Mingan understands a little bit. It seems that he had great prestige a hundred years ago, so people were willing to follow him. The Millennium Plan involves a wide range of things and requires the name of "god" to lead the masses, so a human being is given the name of "god". Just like when Akto was not a god, there were civilians who regarded him as a **** and built statues and temples for him.

Thousands of years later, Su Mingan also had a similar experience: Even before he became a god, he was already regarded as an "awakened old god" by people.

  Could it be that God’s name has been a long lie from beginning to end?

"Is there anything worth paying attention to a hundred years ago?" Su Mingan definitely didn't have time to go to a hundred years ago, so he just asked rhetorically. After all, the copy was already in its final phase.

"Ordinary times, nothing special, just like your world, there is no value in looking back." Chaoyan said.

Su Mingan nodded, put down the question, and began to devote himself to the Millennium Project.

 …

　　【Perfect Clearance Mission·Eighth Ring: "Planning the Millennium Plan"

 Task requirements: You seem to have gone back a thousand years ago. Is this true? But no matter what, you have to plan the Millennium Plan, otherwise the shadow of this era will soon invade and you will die a thousand years ago.

 Task reward: Career advancement

 Task notes: "...uh."]

 …

  【Please choose your career advancement direction in advance:】

　　【(Direction 1) Mingye Clone: ​​Enhance the combat ability of "Ming" and "Shadow" states. You can summon two clones at the same time. 】

　　【(Direction 2) Judgment: Enhance the single-body control ability, group suppression ability, and emotional infusion effect of the "Judgment" skill. 】

  【(Direction 3) Faith: Increase the speed of absorbing faith, and you will be more sensitive to the abilities of "gods". 】

 …

 “Direction 1.” Su Mingan said. Although direction 3 was very tempting, he always had an uneasy feeling, especially after hearing about the first player becoming a god.

Chao Yan made him a pot of black tea. Today's Chaoyan is the original Chaoyan, the angel of judgment who led thousands of troops to protect the old gods in mythology. No matter how the gods later persecute the remnants of the old gods, the Angel of Judgment always protects them and always stands in front with a sword.

At this point in time, the gods have not yet sought power to usurp the throne, and the old gods are still in power.

  But what is very subtle is that due to the help of the world's number one player in the game last year, the gods are already at the level of "gods", but the old gods are still human beings. This created a subtle situation in which humans were superior to gods.

Su Mingan raised his head and saw tall airships and planes often flying past the window. The circling light rail and high-speed rail were dazzling. In the square stands a sculpture of the old god, which is indeed his true form.

The bard played by the fountain and sang songs in praise of the old gods:

“He came down a hundred years ago to save the world from danger…”

 “He leaves from the sun and will reappear in times of crisis…”

 “He will never give up this land, never leave it…”

Su Mingan closed the window.

At this time, a tall young man walked into the old god's room in a swagger. Anyone who saw his casual posture would think it was disrespectful.

 “Old guy, are you back?” The man called out to Lao Deng.

Su Mingan’s pupils shrank. How am I so old? Although Chaoyan said that he was an old **** a hundred years ago, he has not yet accepted this fact.

"How did you feel about this simulation? I heard that you had a particularly strong reaction this time, and you still don't believe that everything you experienced was just a simulation." The man sat down and occupied the bed with intricate carvings. He held his chin and stared at Su Ming'an with interest: "You don't still think that we are the daytime session of the third tower, do you? Be clear-headed, the third tower is something in the simulation, and that thing doesn't exist at all. You Everything you see now is real.”

This was the first time Su Mingan heard such an impolite tone. Along the way, everyone treated him with respect.

I saw the man with white hair, blue eyes, yawning, his body was full of the smell of peach blossom wine, and his facial features were very unfamiliar.

 “Who are you?” Su Mingan said bluntly. Unexpectedly, a stranger appeared in this simulation.

The man's eyes widened, and his original joking expression disappeared. He pointed at himself and asked in disbelief: "...Su Ming'an. Have you forgotten me?"

 “Lao Deng, who are you?” Su Mingan said.
