My Endless Life.

Chapter 458 No Winner
That's what happened.

Li Qi has also stepped into the ancient ruins, and when he stepped into the ruins, monsters emerged one after another from inside the ruins.

Those monsters have some shadows of the fairy world, like demons, and also like some fallen mythical beasts.

As for their levels...

All 120!!
The only difference is the color of their names.

Because Li Qi had obtained the identity of a player, the World Spirit could also speak out some of the settings, so she explained to Li Qi:

"White names are normal monsters, green names are elite monsters, blue names are venue bosses, and red names are lord bosses... But with your current equipment level, you should be able to get through this easily."

In the later stages of the game, level can no longer be used as a basis for judging strength.

The standard for judging strength is the level of equipment.

And now, Li Qi has cleared out all the rare items in the grocery store and carried them with him. The level of his equipment is enough to crush the level of the monsters in the ancient ruins.

Therefore, there is no need for any battle scenes.

Li Qi just casually took out a set of magic swords and threw them out. The magic swords were like automatically cruising missiles, killing all the nearby monsters and elite monsters.

The Immortal Sword paraded around, and Li Qi and the Spirit of the World continued their communication.

"This world shouldn't be a game, right?"

On the way, Li Qi asked about the reality of this world.

The World Spirit nodded: "Obviously not, otherwise I wouldn't exist."

"Then why...are these there?"

Li Qi pointed at the level 120 elite monster that had just been beheaded by the magic sword, looked at the real blood flowing out, and asked in surprise.

The Spirit of the World:
“Have you ever heard of the box theory?”

"heard about it……"

"That's easy to explain. To put it simply, there is a big box outside of our world, and the one who transformed this planet into a game was an entertainment company owned by that big box. Now that the entertainment company has gone bankrupt, it's natural that it has no mood to care about us.

"Of course, what I said is just my guess and metaphor. No one knows the real situation, but it should be correct in general."

The box theory is a well-known theory that often appears in novels, especially science fiction and fantasy novels.

To put it simply, the world we live in is likened to a square box that can be opened at any time.

Outside the box may be the real world, or it may be another box.

Endless, infinite nesting dolls.

To put it in a more sci-fi way, it is the difference between low dimension and high dimension.

This world is a low-dimensional world, and the high-dimensional world can absolutely crush the low-dimensional world and can change everything in the low-dimensional world at will.

Not to mention transforming the low-dimensional world into a game, even turning the entire low-dimensional world into a two-dimensional world would probably only take a single sentence.

They can arbitrarily change all the rules of the low-dimensional world, including the basic theories of the world. To this world, they are gods in the absolute sense.

God who is omnipotent.

After successfully reaching the final boss, Li Qi took out a toy-like laser gun, shot the boss in the head, and continued to ask the World Spirit:
"So…how do I get to that big box?"

"I don't know. I only know about things in this world. Things outside the world...you shouldn't ask me."

The Spirit of the World spread out his hands and said.

After she said this, the Qilin, which was the Lord BOSS, also had its last drop of blood drained by Li Qi, and its huge body fell in front of Li Qi.

The body burning with flames gradually went out, and strands of red blood gathered in the air.

An off-white oval stone gate reappeared in blood and fire. The square characters engraved on it connected Li Qi with the characters on the stone tablet in the rainforest.

Qilin died and Shimen reappeared.

The dark runes above symbolized that the seal was broken. Li Qi stood in front of the stone door, staring at it in silence.

"Do you want to seal it?"

The World Spirit asked beside her, and she said: "Now that you have player authority, it is very simple to seal the pollution in this world."

"Will the doomsday disappear like this?" Li Qi didn't look back.

The World Spirit shook his head: "It will only slow down. I think you should have guessed that the five doomsdays of this world are the five version updates of the overall system. Without maintenance personnel and players, the rigid overall system thinks it can attract new players in this way.

“But it doesn’t know that it’s not that players don’t want to come, but that players no longer have the channels to descend into this world.

“So it can only be updated over and over again.

"But there is a limit to version updates. The system left by the 'operator' outside the box also has a lifespan. You should have been to the rain forest. Those five stone tablets represent the limit of the overall system's updateability.

"And now it's the fifth time."

"What will happen after the fifth update?"

“The overall system will collapse, and this world will no longer be a game, but at the same time, this world will also usher in a complete destruction in a short period of time. For hundreds of millions of years, no life will be born.

"The planet will restart and life will evolve again, but this is no longer relevant to humans at this stage."

The Spirit of the World coldly and rationally spoke of the end that would come to the people of this world.

"What about the Ancient Monuments Association?"

Li Qi then turned back to look at the World Spirit. In the ancient monument, all the means of hiding the Ancient Monument Society were ineffective, and Li Qi could speak out everything about the Ancient Monument Society without restraint.

Besides, even if it wasn’t in the ancient ruins, Li Qi wouldn’t have to worry about these things.

Because he is a player now.

The World Spirit replied: "Their president has system authority and may transform some people into NPCs, but... with the disappearance of the system, everything they have done is useless, so Zhang Fengyun never thought of causing trouble for the Ancient Monuments Association."

Because she knows that those who dream of becoming gods in the "Sixth Civilization" will never get what they want and will be drowned in the long river of time along with everyone else.

“…Is that so? Then I will go and let them have a dignified last journey.”

Looking at the sealed door in front of him, Li Qi said this and activated the seal.

World saving progress: 1/12
……

Li Qi was floating above the ancient island.

The Spirit of the World followed him, as if wanting to see what Li Qi would do at the last moment of this world.

But when the Spirit of the World followed Li Qi to the sky above the Ancient Ruins Island, they all fell silent.

According to their guess, the Ancient Island had made countless preparations at the beginning, and the island must have been brightly lit, just like the scene before doomsday.

But the reality is that the island is in ruins, the building that symbolizes the power center of the Antiquities Association has collapsed to the ground, and everything around it is in a mess, as if a typhoon had passed through.

Most importantly, Li Qi's "spiritual pupil" could not see the living people on the ancient island.

It was as if everyone was dead.

No, there are still living people.

Li Qi looked down and saw a young-looking blonde woman wandering aimlessly on the street holding a teddy bear on this ancient island with normal temperature.

Looking at the blonde woman, Li Qi said nothing, but the World Spirit beside him said a name in surprise:
"Brigina?"

"Who?"

"My... no, it's an old rival of Zhang Fengyun. I didn't expect she's still alive... Yeah, that's right, she's one of the Twelve Stars, of course she's alive."

The Spirit of the World seemed to be talking to himself.

Li Qi ignored all that. He came down from above and landed beside Briggina. Just as he was about to ask Briggina something, Briggina's eyes suddenly lit up and she pointed at Li Qi and said:
"What a cute little brother! I want to marry you!"

Li Qi: “?”

Snapped!
The World Spirit slapped her head upon hearing this. She looked Brigina up and down, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "...Her brain has been damaged by the price. It looks like this place is doomed."

"How to say?"

"Don't you have a magical item that can detect memories? Just look at her memory and you'll know."

Facing his old rival, the Spirit of the World seemed too lazy to explain.

Li Qi nodded, stopped asking questions, took a step forward and flashed to Brigitte's side, with his left hand already on Brigitte's head.

Using a magical object that could explore memories, countless memories flowed from Brigina's mind into Li Qi's head, allowing him to understand what had happened in the Ancient Monument Society over the past five years.

Brigitte is an ambitious woman. She is never willing to be inferior to others. No matter where she is, she will always strive to be the first.

The same is true in the Ancient Monuments Association.

The status of just one of the Twelve Stars could not satisfy Brigina's ambition, so she thought of killing the Twelve Stars one by one while they were all hibernating, so that she could become the only shining star.

Brigitte succeeded.

But it also failed.

Her strength did not match her ambition. Each of the Twelve Stars was a tough guy. How could they sit back and watch Brigina get rid of them?
Thus, an open and covert struggle for power unfolds on the Ancient Ruins Island.

At the beginning, Brigina was able to gain the upper hand with her own background, but as she entered the Gate of Life more and more frequently, her decline became more and more obvious.

And this brings us to a strange item of Brigina.

She has a magical item in her hand that can give her a power similar to the "Spirit of Words", but the cost of using it is to age one year older.

Therefore, she never dared to use this magical item. She would only use it when she was sure that it could make up for the aging years.

But Brigina later acquired another rare item.

The door of life.

Its power is not very strong, but the price is that each time it is used, your age will regress by one year.

At first glance, this price just complements the price of the Word Spirit, but in fact... the loophole in the price is not so easy to exploit. Brigina is not Li Qi, who can create a puppet to transfer the price by herself.

So Brigitte was in trouble.

Her physical age could not continue to increase due to cost conflicts.

However, the spiritual age is constantly regressing due to the constant use of the Gate of Life.

Gradually, her spiritual consciousness could no longer bear her power and means, and she lost control.

The result of losing control is that she and the ancient monument will perish together.

There are no winners in this battle for power.
