King from scratch

But for now, let's turn our attention back to where it all started.

Before the end of the game update countdown, He Xingwen finished dealing with the canyon of the undead, and spent most of his time confirming with the undead everything needed for an immersive experience such as the plot, prop settings, and environment restoration.

I have to say that the existence form of the undead is simply too buggy. It can change into multiple forms, has a high degree of obedience, and will not die. No matter how bizarre and tortuous the plot is, it can hold it.

Low-level undead creatures, such as skeletons, have extremely thin self-awareness, and only some obsessions remain, which makes them the best extras.

As for high-level undead creatures, they have clear self-awareness and thinking ability. Embers is a typical representative. Most of them are idle and bored. Enthusiastic and immortal players are very welcome to put on a stage play for them.

The arrangement for the opening of the Undead Canyon to players was implemented very smoothly, and the will of the Undead Emperor determined that there would be no disturbances in all of this.

However, the progress of another matter was not so smooth.

In addition to the stage play, He Xingwen also paid attention to the progress of the classification of the collection of the Undead Emperor.

The standard that was originally simply used to classify collectibles had to be further refined, because most of these collectibles cannot be simply described as "dangerous", and they also have certain special "rules" that make them very dangerous. Bizarre.

After all, we have to think about a premise, what kind of things can flow into the hands of the Undead Emperor?

The Undead Emperor is not Embers, he will run around on the mainland, and can come into contact with those harmless and interesting gadgets.

The premise of these collectibles becoming collectibles is that they appear in the Canyon of the Dead in various ways, such as a long-range attack from a certain party, or a brave man who entered the lair of the devil with an artifact in order to defeat the devil— —After all, the image of undead in most worlds is not very positive.

These origins doomed the collectibles to be impossible to be harmless.

Some kind of "rule" remains in them, and after breaking away from the original world, this special "rule" still takes effect.

How to explain this "rule"?

Different worlds have different rules. For example, in a world where gods exist, it is only natural that holy relics exist.

Of course, it is impossible for most of the holy relics to appear in another world, but if some holy relics go through twists and turns and become a member of the Undead Emperor's collection, then it will be lucky to appear in other worlds.

In this case, the holy relic has been greatly weakened in power, but there are still weak "rules" left.

Thus, the power of a certain god from another world took effect across the world.

This is nothing, just a weakened version of the artifact.

He Xingwen thought so at first, until he started cataloging the collection.

The first collection he classified was a holy relic from a certain world.

It is difficult to accurately describe it in words alone, and He Xingwen had to use a player template to relay the description of this holy relic from the game's main console.

【██ Holy Relic: It will continuously devour the thinking ability of the holder. In the process, every time the holder's IQ drops a little, he will lose a different amount of blood and organs. After the holder completely loses After the thinking ability, a large-scale skill will be released: God's descent. 】

[Note: God's descent: The god to which the holy relic belongs will rely on a weak connection to appear in the area where the loyal believers are located across the limit. 】

This is just the most insignificant of those collectibles. After all, not all worlds have gods, and the rules left on collectibles in some extreme materialist worlds are even more outrageous.

[Active ██ signal: The area where it is located (5000 meters around the collection as the center) will gradually lose all energy fluctuations, which are used to provide the collection with energy to search for world signals]

[Note: The energy fluctuations referred to here refer to energy that exists in any form, including but not limited to energy fluctuations such as life energy, primitive wind power, electricity, nuclear power, and ether. 】

He Xingwen read this description for a long time, and finally realized that this means that within a radius of five thousand miles of this thing, a death field without ether fluctuations will be formed.

After all, this thing can even absorb life energy...

It is hard to say whether materialism, when developed to its limit, is more terrifying than idealism.

But He Xingwen soon realized that it was because of his shallow knowledge that he had such an idea.

Because the idealist world rules are not much better.

[██ Storm: Holding this collection, intelligent creatures with normal thinking ability will obtain a permanent state of madness, keen to spread ██ to all intelligent creatures. In this state, all intelligent creatures who hear the term ██, Both will gain a permanent state of insanity, and begin to spread ██ to other intelligent beings. 】

He Xingwen repeatedly read the description of it on the main console of the game several times, and finally confirmed that it was a missionary tool that spread like a plague.

He Xingwen had to start thinking about another thing.

How many worlds did the Undead Emperor stay in "shortly"?

The undead characteristic makes the opponent's lifespan a long time that is difficult to describe with specific numbers.

When He Xingwen heard He Tong's explanation about why the Undead Emperor became the Undead Emperor, he subconsciously believed that after the destruction of the other party's world, the Undead Canyon would border on the mainland.

But in fact, there were some "brief" other contacts between these two points in time.

For Undead Canyon, the mainland is a foothold, just like the previous footholds, they are always ready to enter the next foothold before the world is destroyed.

The number of these footholds is beyond He Xingwen's imagination, and the collections prove this point.

There are so many of them that sorting through these collections is like opening a treasure chest, never knowing what strange things might pop out of it.

Of course, not all collections are so scary, and some collections are very safe, but most of the collections are terrifying beyond He Xingwen's imagination.

Seriously, although He Xingwen saw nuclear bombs in the collection, how could nuclear bombs be magically dangerous in this world?

He Xingwen naively thought that these collectibles should be some interesting gadgets.

But now it seems that they are really interesting, but they are definitely not gadgets...

By the way, the nuclear bomb that He Xingwen saw belonged to a safe collection, and most of the knives, guns and sticks that He Xingwen glanced at at first had peculiar "world rules". rules”, not form.

Because of this, He Xingwen further refined the classification criteria and divided the collection into: safe, ordinary, dangerous, and extremely dangerous.

Collections with safe standards can flow into the hands of players; collections with normal standards can only flow into the hands of aborigines at the level of great magicians; collections with dangerous standards need to be kept properly and checked out occasionally; extremely dangerous collections are the best Forever placed in the deepest part of the sea of ​​blood.

Under these four standards, there are more specific classifications. He Xingwen Lin Zongzong compiled a stack of related classification standards to ensure that the continent will not be destroyed in the accidentally lost collection.

"Thinking about it this way, it's amazing that these collections can be preserved here intact instead of causing chaos," He Xingwen: "Theoretically speaking, their current owner should be you?"

[That's right, that's why they can be kept here without causing any impact on the outside world. 】

The logic of this statement is unassailable.

The depths of the sea of ​​blood has now become another lively scene.

The busy undead wander among the collections, test the different characteristics of the collections, and classify them.

The most common are various ghosts and necromancers, and skeletons are excluded because of their low IQ.

As for the Undead Emperor and Embers?

Embers went to rehearse the stage play. Although he pretended to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the stage play, everyone knew that he was just doing it for fun.

Part of the Undead Emperor's attention is on the stage play, while the other part of his attention remains in the depths of the sea of ​​blood to ensure that the process of sorting the collection is controllable.

He Xingwen came to bid farewell to the other party, and confirmed the progress of the collection classification by the way.

Ever since He Xingwen put on the player template and simply looked through this group of collections, he regained the awe of human beings again.

There are always dangers beyond imagination in the world.

As long as these collections enter the mainland, the intelligent creatures on the mainland can experience for themselves what it means to be in dire straits.

"Since this is the case, there is actually no need to use these collectibles as rewards for players." After thinking carefully, He Xingwen said: "It is easy to cause accidents, so it is better to let them stay here like this."

"What? Didn't you agree, do you want to throw away some garbage?" Embers suddenly said, and a skeleton appeared out of nowhere from the sea of ​​blood, complaining, "This place is almost full!"

The skeleton made a big circle and said: "If everything is stuffed in and not thrown out, sooner or later we will not be able to put it down. Didn't we agree before? Why do you go back on your word?"

He Xingwen: "But before we agreed, you didn't tell me that this rubbish is so dangerous."

"Is it dangerous?" Embers tilted his head: "It's okay, isn't some trash interesting? I think Chubby will definitely like it!"

Players who are afraid of chaos in the world will of course like this "artifact".

He Xingwen glanced at the sea of ​​blood.

The Undead Emperor reacted, and he would support Embers' ideas when it was not necessary.

[Nothing will happen, and didn't you agree to only send collectibles that meet safety standards?Even if there is an accident, it's okay, I'll take care of it. 】

If he knew that garbage refers to this kind of collection, He Xingwen would never agree to the proposal of using garbage as a reward.

but now……

He Xingwen can only believe that the Undead Emperor is indeed enough to solve the accident caused by these collections.

Considering that even if a person dies, the Undead Emperor can resurrect the other person into an undead creature to "live" back to life, He Xingwen let go of some worries.

"By the way, didn't you say you are going to leave?" Embers remembered the reason why he hurried over: "Where are we going next? Shall we leave now?"

He Xingwen glanced at the excited skeleton, then subconsciously looked at the skeleton floating in the sea of ​​blood.

"I thought you were interested in the new changes in the Canyon of the Undead?" He Xingwen said: "And the players will go online soon, and there will definitely be a large number of players entering the Canyon of the Undead. You don't plan to stay?"

"You are so enthusiastic," Embers said confidently, "I'm not used to it, and I'm not stupid. I'll have more fun with you."

You are not stupid...

He Xingwen muttered in his heart.

Embers didn't even think about the possibility that He Xingwen didn't plan to bring him with him, so he couldn't wait to urge He Xingwen: "Where are we going next? Go to the outermost part of the mainland to see those new civilizations? I'm very interested in them!"

"I have to go to the great scientist to get the 'key' first..." He Xingwen regretted it as soon as he said that.

Sure enough, Embers' excited voice rang out immediately: "Are you going to the world projection again! Good!"

How should I explain that I didn't intend to take him with me?

"Is that strange big fish taking us there?" Emboss looked around and gave science to the undead emperor: "You don't know, that big fish looks strange and cute, you will definitely like it..."

He reminded He Xingwen.

"Because Yu won't let us hitch a ride, so this time, I plan to use other methods to contact great scientists, and it may not be appropriate to bring you along."

Embers was puzzled: "What method? Why is it not suitable?"

He Xingwen paused for a few seconds, and said calmly: "My lover has a special way to..."

"Cough, cough, cough," He Xingwen didn't know why, but was interrupted by Embers coughing frantically, "That's really inappropriate."

He Xingwen:?

For some reason, he suddenly didn't want to know what Embers was thinking.

He Xingwen tried hard to turn the topic to an innocent direction: "In a few hours, the players will be online, and you can stay and play with them."

Embers was very regretful: "Actually, think about it carefully, your lover..."

[Embers. 】

Embers swallowed back what he didn't say, and said aggrievedly: "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you here, after you come back from the world projection, you must come to me! Let's continue this unfinished adventure !"

What kind of adventure is this? Leaving He Xingwen's special status aside, Emboss can not only explode seeds, but also trigger the ultimate move - Summon the Undead Emperor.

What else could be in danger?

He Xingwen muttered something in his heart, agreed to the other party, and then successfully escaped from the Canyon of the Undead.

"Are you really planning to contact the great scientist at this point in time, at the risk of an uncertain passage of time?"

Out of responsibility, He Tong raised the problem: "We cannot be sure whether this will be the same situation as last time. Of course, it may also be missing for 200 years, or more."

"This is a potential risk. I suggest that you contact the great scientists when everything is ready and you can bear the worst possibility."

He Xingwen took a breath of fresh air - in the Canyon of the Undead, this thing is too rare.

"In fact, we can think about it in another way. Under the current situation, if I disappear for a longer period of time, what accidents might happen?"

An extremely long report emerged from He Tong's database.

He Xingwen didn't wait for him to answer, and continued to ask: "Will there be such an accident as the destruction of the continent and the destruction of the earth?"

He Tong's report has been shortened a lot, but there are still relevant answers.

He Xingwen nodded his head: "My thinking palace tells me that the main task of the first phase has been completed when Lie signed the agreement, and the progress of the second phase is rapidly increasing-the new kingdom-centered task The establishment of order creates prerequisites for other races to enter the kingdom's territory."

The second stage of the main task requires that the number of mainland aborigines in the kingdom's territory tend to balance with the number of aborigines on the mainland excluding the kingdom.

For now, the number of aborigines on the mainland excluding the kingdom is far greater than the number of aborigines on the kingdom's territory, but this is not static.

In fact, after the establishment of the kingdom-centered new order, cooperation will replace xenophobia, peace will replace hostility, and the mobility of indigenous peoples on the mainland will be strengthened as the cooperation between different forces deepens.

This is also the reason why the progress of the second stage is rising rapidly.

The facts are in front of him, He Xingwen is only one step away from completing the main task.

And this one step away was bought with a change that had never been seen in the mainland.

"I don't think, in this case, there will be problems that only I can solve."

He Xingwen walked on the road outside the Canyon of the Undead.

This is the area between the Elven Kingdom and the Canyon of the Undead. Because the Elf Kingdom is completely blocked by the kingdom, there is no one inhabited.

He Tong was stunned for a moment: "It sounds like you are ready to face an extremely long missing time. So you officially introduced the player to other intelligent creatures as visitors from another world in order to establish a bridge between the earth and the other world. A new channel of communication other than you?"

"I'm just preparing for the future." He Xingwen stopped and turned his head to look at the long series of footprints he left behind: "I can't be an eternal king, which destroys the political system I originally established , remember what I said? In a kingdom, the king is the most redundant one."

Every step he took left a trace here.

He Xingwen turned his head to look forward, but there were still more distant steps ahead that had not yet been taken.

"I not only want to see the outermost scenery of the continent, but also the scenery on the earth that I have never seen before." He Xingwen looked towards an empty place - that was where someone had been standing all along :"With you."

He Tong disarmed and surrendered: "In this case, please wait a moment, I need to deal with the unfinished kingdom affairs in hand."

"I am not in a hurry."

He Xingwen continued to walk towards the Elven Kingdom, and said as he walked, "Actually, I didn't plan to make this trip for too long, but that doesn't mean I won't do it in the future."

"Your previous suggestion is correct. I must first ensure that this new order with the kingdom as the core is stable enough." He Xingwen muttered, "And I haven't figured it out yet, should I find some programmers for the game's main console..."

He walked through the dead wood forest, revisited the old place, and headed in the direction of the statue.

"Besides, even if I never come back, I must at least make it clear to Hua Guo," He Xingwen said, "otherwise they will have to make up even more terrifying guesses out of their suspicions."

He Xingwen arrived at his destination.

The elf statue stands in the center of the deadwood forest as always, forming a unique scenery.

There are countless small dots floating in the tree of life, constructing an undisturbed space for the elves.

Although the outside world has turned upside down, there is no change from what He Xingwen saw before.

He Xingwen was immersed in the scene in front of him, and realized what the Undead Emperor said before, "This is order, the tacit understanding between life and death".

Movement and stillness make up everything in the world, but only when there is stillness can there be movement. If everything is rushing, there is no room for breathing, then the world is only one step away from collapse.

The same is true of life and death.

"I'm done, are you ready to enter the dimension where the great scientist is?"

The data flowed around He Xingwen, and suddenly increased, enveloping He Xingwen.

The boundless ocean composed of data unfolded again in front of He Xingwen.

This is a completely different experience than being taken into another world by Yu.

After all, intelligent creatures can't understand the meaning of those data at all. In the world of data flushing, even He Xingwen has become a string of simple data symbols, let alone other existences.

Without the familiar framework and contours of intelligent beings, data defines this new perception.

Just like the first time, He Xingwen got lost in the countless lingering data until another string of data overflowed and he was found.

After the other party exchanged data streams with him, opened everything about him to him, and shared the concept of data, He Xingwen vaguely realized that part of the data constantly refreshing around him was the analysis and behavioral pattern judgment of "Golden Light" , and more of a record of what's going on across the continent.

That is a huge amount of information. Even if He Xingwen shared the data flow with He Tong, there is no way to get complete information.

He Xingwen realized that this is caused by his way of existence, as an intelligent creature cannot accept too large a data flow.

After confirming that He Xingwen has a basic perception of the surrounding information flow under the sharing situation, He Tong took He Xingwen to "step".

The surrounding data accelerates the speed of consumption and birth.

From the perception of intelligent creatures, it is difficult for He Xingwen to say that they are moving forward - because there is no scenery or sense of space in the surroundings except for data.

But for intelligent life, the flow of information is probing into another dimension.

In other words, he is perceiving, constructing, and analyzing data in another dimension.

Through the data flow shared with He Tong, He Xingwen can clearly perceive that the data originally observed and recorded on the mainland has now become the analysis of dimensions.

Dimensions that are out of reach for intelligent creatures, in He Tong's perception, are just a series of special data that can be analyzed.

Of course, this special data is a bit long and too much, so that there is a scene of endless data changing around He Xingwen.

But this does not prevent He Tong from stripping away the cocoon and deconstructing it into the most basic data source.

Flowing data gradually increased. Of course, it can also be said that the data around them changed into observation and records of this dimension.

For intelligent beings, this perception is very strange.

In fact, in order to avoid data overflow caused by too much data to He Xingwen, what He Xingwen sees is far from everything that He Tong can perceive in the complete form, but only the highest value that He Xingwen can accommodate in this state.

People love to imagine how big the world is, but most of the time, their ideas are too barren.

Because the world is there and will not change because of a creature's thoughts.
