I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 39 Shared Grave
The memory records some fragments of Zheng Yi's life after he was kept in captivity by a breeding enthusiast.

Cao Yu discovered that the content above was similar to the information he had obtained from the police station.

The difference is that after Zheng Yi's family was killed, he was not blinded by rage. Instead, he chose to endure in order to seek revenge and started a crazy dungeon run to accumulate power.

This city is not called the City of Truth.

It's called Tanyu City.

The people living in Tanyu City are not enthusiastic about hunting down breeders or destroying breeding sites... or to be more precise, ordinary people are just living ordinary lives.

The players here are not noble at all; on the contrary, they are despicable.

Advanced players, seeing that the "pig farm" mode could continuously exchange human lives for a large amount of evolution points, began to imitate it.

Meanwhile, the official players affiliated with the government have been bribed by the farming players. They not only fail to rescue or protect new players, but also send back any new players who occasionally escape from the "pig farm".

Over time, Tanyu City itself became a massive "pig farm".

The farmers even fenced off the city, blocked information, allowed entry but not exit, and spread false information to attract immigrants.

The lives of low-level players and ordinary people living here are filled with unspeakable suffering.

Zheng Yi's tragic experience is only the tip of the iceberg of the evils in Tanyu City.

He would have died from exploitation anyway.

However... fate bestowed upon him extraordinary talent as a demi-human player.

In terms of integrating foreign genes, he has almost universal adaptability. Any superior gene that enters his body can be adapted to by him and, under the influence of evolution points, gradually become part of the cornerstone of his extraordinary bloodline.

He grew into a powerful C-level player step by step by frantically devouring the genes of other creatures and by his determination to eradicate all breeders... Then, when he was able to kill all the breeders in Tanyu City, his extraordinary bloodline, which he evolved and fused with by constantly devouring alien genes, finally went berserk.

He became a monster.

His consciousness went mad.

His flesh and blood continued to multiply, covering the city, submerging the mountains and forests, and swallowing the entire city of Tanyu.

The ordinary people and players in the city all became part of him, becoming part of his very being.

Thus, the concept of "shared remains" was born.

This place was also selected by the evolution game, and after some rule modifications, it became a dungeon.

Zheng Yi's vague subconscious was thus divided in two.

One of his remaining desires from his time as a human being created the City of Truth during the day.

Secondly, it was his instinct after he became a monster—a craving for the flesh and genes of other creatures.

The consciousness of everyone in Tanyu City is eroded and dominated by this instinct, which is released at night.

……

You have completed side quest 2.

After reviewing the memory information, Cao Yu and An Li received a notification that the side quest was completed.

An Li said thoughtfully:

"I never imagined that the demi-human pathway had such potential. With its near-omnipotent adaptability, it could integrate countless superior genes into itself, gradually evolve, and build a near-omnipotent extraordinary bloodline... It's a pity it failed."

“This approach is too reckless.” Cao Yu shook his head: “It’s only because Zheng Yi’s talent is too good that he can play up to C level before collapsing… He over-consumed his talent and was ultimately devoured by it.”

He was aware that the potential of the demi-human pathway was far more than that.

Judging from the snippets of information in the product descriptions in the system shop... the true strength of demi-human players only begins to emerge after their evolution level surpasses the limit of the B-rank stage.

There are three transcendent forces in the evolution game: the game company, the spirit world, and the Celestial Evolution Star.

Among them, Tianyan Star, or "Tianyan Star Realm", is a paradise for demi-human players... Cao Yu gathered his scattered thoughts.

These things are a bit distant from him now.

"It's now basically confirmed that there are conditions to get an S-rank rating in this dungeon," An Li reminded Cao Yu.

"Um……"

Cao Yu also agreed with this point.

To achieve an S-rank rating, the dungeon must contain extraordinary potential dangers—this is the conclusion he and An Li deduced.

"Gonghai" is a city of flesh and blood.

In terms of danger, if the entire city's flesh and blood were to writhe and churn like a tsunami, then in the face of such a natural disaster, the resistance of an E-level player would probably be nothing more than a splash.

In other words, the difficulty is limited by the E-rank dungeon; otherwise...

Cao Yu mentally simulated the scenario and quickly concluded that he too would die on the spot.

Although he possesses serial number 11, and "Shared Remains" might not be able to break his "Immortal-Slaying Curse," the opponent could easily exhaust his spirit and then kill him. A direct confrontation is not feasible.

Good thing...

Cao Yu said, "We should go and build a 'common grave'."

"S rating, are you going to brush it up?" An Li asked.

“Build the grave first, then we’ll see how things go,” Cao Yu replied. “Who knows, after we build the grave, ‘Gonghai’ might also be buried with it.”

An Li didn't take those words seriously.

"Shared Remains" is similar to the Buddha Mother from the previous instance. If it could be solved so easily, they would have already gotten an S rating in the previous instance.

The two immediately left the cemetery and returned to the city.

We returned to the fountain square where we entered the instance yesterday.

Cemeteries are dangerous places. If a tomb is built nearby, who knows if it will trigger another crisis of bloodshed?

Fortunately, before entering the cemetery, Cao Yu parked the car he had stolen the night before in a very remote spot, so the vehicle was not swallowed up by the sea of ​​blood and flesh.

He drove An Li back to the city, wasting little time.

After getting off the vehicle, the two immediately began constructing the tomb.

Everything was just like when we first entered the instance yesterday.

However, unlike yesterday's "simple sketch style", the tomb they built this time is more regular and complete.

Simply put, it took some thought.

At least in appearance, it looks more like a tomb than a pile of scattered concrete blocks.

Cao Yu also cut a piece of the marble railing surrounding the fountain pool and made it into a rectangular tombstone, which he then placed in front of the grave.

Then, he began to carve the words—Tanyu City…

"Wait a minute," An Li called out to him, suggesting, "Should we wait until the dungeon is almost over before inscribing the information?"

"Do you remember the first side quest?" Cao Yu reminded him.

An Li glanced at the player panel—[Side Quest: Fulfill the wishes of the city's residents].

After a moment's thought, she understood what Cao Yu meant.

It is clear that the true desire of the city's residents is to find relief and peace. And erecting tombstones can fulfill this wish.

Evolution games do not assign fatal missions—if building a tombstone would anger the "common remains" and invite retaliation, then evolution games will provide a refuge solution to allow players to survive.

The balance of dungeons has always been reflected in all aspects.

It is not the player's subjective perception, but the objective law governing the operation of the evolutionary game.

Cao Yu continued:

“If I’m not mistaken, once this ‘common grave’ is completed, the ‘common remains’ will essentially be rendered obsolete… at least it will no longer be the size of a city. Perhaps then, it will become possible to destroy it.”

After considering it for a moment, An Li said, "Then let's build it."

Cao Yu nodded, then activated the "Immortal-Slaying Spell" with his fingertips and continued carving on the tombstone:

"The Tomb of All the People of Tanyu City".

He paused, then added:
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, why keep those who are meant to leave?"

About ten seconds later.

Cao Yu and An Li discovered that the scattered residents in the fountain square had all collapsed. Their bodies disintegrated into piles of scattered flesh and blood, which then began to decay and scatter into dust in the wind.

Bright specks of light drifted out from the decaying dust; they… no, they emanated a spiritual aura and flowed into the tomb built for them.

This change has occurred not only in the square, but also in the surrounding neighborhoods and even among the people of the entire city.

As the decaying flesh collapsed, countless points of spiritual light surged in from all directions and entered the "common grave."

Then, the immense spiritual energy subsided and slumbered in the tomb.

Only the light emitted by those spots of light remained, as if it were a substance with a physical form, and spread across the entire square, forming a bright area.

You have completed side quest 1.

You have gathered the gratitude of the city's residents and created a safe house.

Cao Yu and An Li received a notification from the Evolution Game.

At the same time, they heard a terrifying roar of a monster coming from afar...
