Chapter 591 Time, the Changing World, Brother

[Summon Magic Crystal]

【Island Whale】

[When the ancestor of Ikaros and her companions are in the most critical moment (for example, all of them are dead), that ray of hope will appear by itself]

[Effective time of advent: unknown]

Alifa used the Moon Goddess's soul attack to trigger the priest's summoned beast of the [Summoning Magic Crystal].

Island Whale's priest ability is to "revive" the entire team.

But Xiao Wu is not included.

She died too early.

At the last moment, Li Nuo used the privilege in the panel to go back to one hundred and thirty years later, to the campfire with the fire keeper as the anchor.

【bonfire】

[As long as one person chooses to return, everyone will come back, triggered instantly]

The Island Whale has disappeared, and its name has turned gray in the magic crystal list. The resurrection BUFF can only be used once in a world.

The bullock cart stopped by the roadside.

Malj is being harassed by Butterfly.

Li Nuo sat on the ground and took a deep breath.

Chen Shou handed Cha Bai a glass of water.

"Sister Cha, did you die on purpose?"

Brother Shou has heard the whole story.

Cha Bai glanced at Li Nuo.

"ask him."

Li Nuo shrugged.

"It's not a question of whether it was intentional or not, it's a matter of having to die."

He took out the thermos, took a sip of tea and spit out the tea foam.

"If you die, they won't chase you."

Chen Shou was stunned.

"So powerful?"

"Then you have to ask Xiao Wu."

Maljie was stabbing Xiaowu's head. The most famous lone wolf archer in the "Endless Corridor" was already dead.

There was a hint of despair in Chen Shou's eyes.

"Really... it's amazing to this extent..."

Li Nuo snapped his fingers to divert Chen Shou's attention.

"I don't know if those people have the ability to travel through time, but if they do, I'm afraid that an army that even the large number of people in the Sky Corridor can't stop will come, and then we won't have any backup plan." Li Nuo paused here, sipped his tea, and explained softly: "My goal is to lure out that Alifa, find out the strength of the Sky Tower, and buy time for Cha Bai to go to the alchemy room to cause damage. It would be best if I can kill Alifa, but if I can't, I'll just pretend to be dead and escape back."

"So... the woman couldn't be killed?" Chen Shou asked knowingly. He hoped the answer to the story would be "The woman had reinforcements so Li Nuo didn't win."

"Brother Skinny, your ideal is as plump as your body." Li Nuo teased.

Chen Shou didn't complain.

"Sorry..." Li Nuo said, "I can't kill her. She's stronger than me."

Even if he tried his best, Li Nuo was not confident that he could win against Alifa. He had a trump card, and so did Alifa. More importantly, it was Alifa's home court.

The venue environment plays a very important role in the confrontation between high-level players.

[Moment of Demon], the most important environmental skill, was perfectly suppressed by "Moon Goddess". Li Nuo's ability to create venue conditions was gone. Even if Alifa just waited, he would be unable to defeat any reinforcements that came.

"Hmph, just look at this."

Maljie took out a booklet with the information he had investigated about the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou".

To put it simply: "End" ordinary lv90 players <<<Kunqiong<<Alifa and other players in the organization<<Xiaoqing=Emperor.

Cha Bai was able to defeat Kun Qiong in a single challenge, but Xiao Wu died, because that place was not only Kun Qiong's home court, but Xiao Qing was also helping to create a shadow play venue in the distance. Later, Maljie talked to Xiao Qing, and because of the distraction of this old procuress, the shadow play of Cha Bai and Kun Qiong's duel could no longer withstand the destructive power of the two and collapsed.

Li Nuo's fighting ability may be slightly worse than that of people like Alifa, but not much.

For example, taking Li Nuo as the unit, there are 8 Li Nuos in the “Twelve Evils of Tianlou”, and 2 Cha Bais wearing matching earrings.

And facing this kind of lineup, we have to fight away from home.

It's not difficult anymore.

There is no way to fight at all.

Looking at the "Five Corridors", Li Nuo is considered to be top-notch in the lv80~lv95 range. There are not many people who can fight with him among tens of thousands of people. However, the group of players who have reached the critical value of lv95 above lv99 is very abnormal.

For example, Wang Li encountered in the previous script, this Taoist Wang is very frivolous and has no dignity, but this does not affect his ability to pin Sauron to the ground and hammer him.

Lillian, who is one level higher than Wang Li, or the Grand Leader of the "Anti-Science Alliance", are the top 20 characters in the "Five Corridors". They are extraordinary existences in any world. As long as they don't encounter special situations, such as the extremely difficult "Border Prison Script", they are basically immortal. In other words, they are players with a certain "theological" identity.

It just so happens that the highest-ranking of the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou", the emperor and the brothel owner, are close to or equal to this level.

If we include the top, most mysterious [Scholar], then the strength of the opponents in this scenario becomes clear.

Li Nuo: "Lan Qi challenges the Great Demon King Piccolo."

Chen Shou: "The role of Lan Qi is unpopular."

Maljie: "I don't believe you haven't used Lanqi to shoot a plane."

Li Nuo and Chen Shou looked at Ma Ge, their eyes seemed as if they were looking at a strange carbon-based creature.

Chen Shou: "Brother Ma, although Lan Qi is pretty, there are not many shots of her. How did you find the blind spot from the few shots?"

Maljie: "A man must try to discover the beauty of women to be called a real man."

Li Nuo: "According to what you said, I was only referring to Bulma in the first two volumes..."

Cha Bai tilted his head and gave him a nice smile. Li Nuo immediately threw the thermos cup at Maljie's face and yelled, "It's all your fault!"

Die lowered her head and muttered in annoyance: "There's no copy of my notebook..."

Cha Bai was shocked.

Li Nuola returned to the point: "I've said so much, Brother Thin, it's all for you."

Chen Shou: “?”

Malger: “You can quit early, or you can stay.”

When entering the script, Cha Bai gave Chen Shou an [Escaper's Ticket] that could allow him to exit the script directly.

Chen Shou thought for a moment and asked, "What about you guys?"

Die fiddled with Xiao Wu's body and said with a smile, "They won't abandon this woman and run away."

Cha Bai added: "Strictly speaking, there are greater temptations and unpleasant aspects."

Regardless of whether it was due to venue factors or not, she and Xiao Wu failed to defeat Kun Qiong, and Li Nuo suffered a defeat at the hands of Alifa, which made her unhappy.

Chen Shou stared at these three people and recalled the first script of "Neil", as if everything had returned to that time.

"I recently quit my job."

"Brother Shou, it's hard to find a job nowadays."

"Because my father passed away and I have no family, I have nothing to worry about now."

Sometimes there is no need to make things too clear between people.

Li Nuo took off his hat, sat cross-legged, and grinned: "Then be prepared to get your level to 99, or even break through 99."

Next the demon hunter started to lie.

One of the odd and delightful things about this script is that it has no time limits.

Maybe there is something fishy behind it.

But it also means they have almost unlimited time to cause trouble.

If it were just this world, maybe those would be the only fun things, but what if all the different timelines of this world were included?

"stop!"

Chen Shou asked Li Nuo to take it easy first.

"What about the main plot?"

"Expel the [Scholar]?"

"Ah yes."

"We can't beat them, so let's upgrade first. When we reach a certain level, we can go back and fight them."

At this point, Li Nuo poked the firefighter's skinny shoulder with his finger.

"Can you teleport us back one hundred and thirty years again?"

The old man said innocently: "It can only be used once."

The Fire Keeper has three abilities: location teleportation (only involves the current timeline); ability enhancement (needs to kill powerful monsters); one forced return (used up).

Obviously, the old man's time teleportation is no longer useful.

Now there are two methods.

1. Complete the side quest [Time Traveler] that was previously completed by using a bug according to the normal process.

You need to kill a hidden BOSS and then run around the map to find two orbs.

Second, Cha Bai has a [Key to Time and Space] in his hand.

Fortunately, the thing that Brup sent was something from the "Sky Corridor", so the crazy people in "The End" didn't notice it.

The reason for Brupu's death was that there were external weapons in the White City base, which resulted in a constant flow of reinforcements, causing the White City to be at the most disadvantageous away position in the player-to-player confrontation.

But Li Nuo was very puzzled. "Broadsword" was actually one of the original worlds of the "Corridor of Sky". Theoretically, it would not become one of the gathering areas of the "Corridor of End". Therefore, the appearance of Brup and others might be related to the struggle for territory. This was a big conflict, and neither Li Nuo nor Maljie wanted to get involved.

They were concerned about the story of the "past era" mentioned in Brup's last words. As long as the [Time and Space Key] could be used, it would be no problem to travel to the past and the future. The only problem was that they didn't know the specific time anchor point, so they needed a historical recorder to help.

"Don't be happy yet, the key can travel through time and space, but I don't know how to use it."

Cha Bai used [Praise the Sun], his magic power was exhausted, and the power of the ancient blood could not be induced for the time being. They needed to rest.

This is a good place to rest.

There were even horse-drawn carriages passing by on the side of the road.

"carriage……"

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment.

So did Malj and Chabai.

A man got off the carriage, waved at them and shouted, "There's a group of demons one kilometer to the north! Do you want to come with us?"

The people in the car dragged the man back, muttering, "Escape and bring others with you!"

The man said, "If any demons chase us, kick them away to buy us some time."

The carriage left anyway.

Everyone looked at the fire keeper.

"Aren't humans extinct?"

The system said that fifteen years ago, the last human died.

"No." The old man spread his hands: "I said that? No... I said that!"

History has been changed.

Humanity is alive.

New memories flooded into the old firefighter's mind.

"One hundred and thirty years ago, a virus broke out in the White City, but it did not destroy humanity because the virus was not very strong."

This scene corresponds to Cha Bai projecting the virus into Elifa's terminal. The alchemist did not create the demonic germs that would destroy the world.

The largest countries in the world still could not escape the fate of destruction.

There are now small city-states all over the world, and humanity is still struggling to survive.

The firefighter thought of something important: "Why did my birthplace change?"

The old man's panel has changed.

[The artificial human created by humans] became the [recorder born from the Fire Keeper].

His job changed from helping bounty hunters to recording events of all sizes happening in the world and paving the way for those who are destined to meet him.

The fire keeper is a very precious thing in this world, and the legend is as valuable as a secret treasure. If you find them, you will find something that records the truth of history.

This thing is "Fire Keeper".

"Take me to her."

Li Nuo grabbed the old man by the collar, as if he would respect the elderly in the next second.

Except for Maljie's fifty Steel Soul followers scattered around the world, everyone was teleported away by the fire-proof old man's bonfire.

They came to a familiar place.

It should be said that I returned to a familiar place.

White City.

One hundred and thirty years ago, this place was still considered a city.

Today, it has become a ruin. A large disc from the former imperial court fell on the ground. The rust from the dome of the ruins seeped into the cracks in the bluestone slabs, staining the ground dark brown.

The slum shacks leaned crookedly against the edge of the giant disc's wreckage, and the wind whistled as it passed through the metal cracks.

"Legend has it that one hundred and thirty years ago, the people in this city suddenly disappeared, and those outsiders also disappeared without a trace."

The old firefighter led the way into a dark alley.

"Now, this city has a new king. He is the god believed by the poor and the liberator of pain and confusion."

Marjie asked, “And then?”

Old man: “Then…”

He smiled bitterly at the players and said, "I seem to have experienced the trajectory of changing history with you. My memories popped out bit by bit... I only know that the fire keeper is here, but I don't know who she is. I am still an artificial human, and my memories will not disappear as quickly as you humans will."

The old man continued to lead the way. The deeper they went, the clearer the memories in his mind seemed to become.

This alley leads to the former ghost market.

When passing by a collapsed station sign, Cha Bai stopped and looked at it and said, "One hundred and thirty years ago, this was the station where players got off."

At that time, only she and Xiao Wu had seen this place.

There were also poor people and players nearby at that time.

Now there are only refugees in simple clothes making fire with oil drums, and pairs of eyes thirsting for food looking at them.

Li Nuo stared at the station sign and started thinking, what would happen if the station was repaired?
"Because there is a barrier in White City, no one knows what happens inside."

The old man talked to himself. As indigenous people, they would subconsciously ignore the existence of the station.

"The good news is that humanity is at least still alive."

As the old man spoke, his pupils twitched slightly. No matter what the purpose of his creation was, his life was to keep humans alive.

New memories replaced the old ones, and he gradually forgot the world line in which humans were once extinct, but the touch in his heart still existed.

Click.

A big door opened.

This was originally a waste disposal plant in the sewer, but now it has become a staircase leading upwards.

Three hundred and twenty-three steps spiral upward, each embedded with demon eye specimens worshipped by believers. The turbid liquid in the glass jar reflects the flickering candlelight in the ghost market below.

This road leads to the upper level of the former imperial court roundabout.

Speechless all the way.

The old firefighter stopped in front of the last gate.

He took off his hat and plucked out a strand of hair, and the dry hair blended into the inside of the door.

The door opens.

Behind the door, the huge ancestral temple comes into view.

At the end is a chair made from an "alchemical therapy bed", a product of the old times, something that Alifa once left behind and now serves as a throne.

Hundreds of people stood in a row on the road leading to the throne.

"White City has become a small religious country. The king usually stays here, and the fire keeper..."

The firefighter's brain suddenly started to smoke, and his eyes instantly became cloudy.

Hundreds of eyes were staring at them, and everyone seemed to have lost their lives, just zombies.

Even if humans still exist.

But it is still the end of the world.

The hunchbacked priest stood up and asked Li Nuo and the others, "Why are you here at the God's place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of red eyes appeared under the dark shadows of the ancestral temple, treating Li Nuo and the others as uninvited guests who had intruded from the old man who controlled the fire prevention.

but……

At this moment, a shadow appeared on the throne, and the hidden "God" sitting there revealed his true form.

The man on the throne was dressed in a black robe that covered his head and body.

A few strands of silver hair fell from the hood.

She moved slightly, and hundreds of believers immediately prostrated themselves on the fungal blanket, their festering lips moving: "The Firebringer is with us."

There were rusty neural interfaces embedded in their necks, and wires hung from the wounds like withered vines. It was obvious that they were using machines to prolong their lives, and this was also the technology left by the players.

And the one who renewed their lives has already stood up from the throne.

The believers kowtowed frantically, and their foreheads hitting the ground made a hollow echo.

But she just stared ahead, walking forward step by step in her black robe.

A monologue appears behind her that only the player can see.

[Long ago, when I was a child, the last person left in the world]

【I believe that the future can be reborn】

I will go back in time

【Change everything that is going to happen】

[Capture and search for the future I dream of]

[Keep pursuing, believe in the phantoms you have never seen]

[Hearing words that hope is in vain]

[It will only inspire me to never give up]
