"No way?" Jiang Yan was genuinely stunned when he heard this.

Nian Qin did say that an Onmyoji sealed Him, but He didn't mention the "Yin-Yang Palace"!

Seeing Jiang Yan's expression, Lin Wudi's smile brightened even more: "What, regretting it?"

"Of course I don't regret it!" Jiang Yan said immediately.

Even if he knew about the Yin-Yang Palace at the time, he would still have unsealed it!

Anyway, this force is in Japan, so how could they possibly cross over to hunt him down?

and many more!

It seems...possible!

Jiang Yan suddenly realized something, and his hair stood on end!

According to Bafanglaicai and Zhao Tianyu, the monsters in the game can enter the real world, so what about the NPCs in the game?

It doesn't make sense that monsters can enter but NPCs can't, right?

If NPCs could enter the real world, given the convenience of transportation there, once the Yin-Yang Palace pinpoints their location, they could probably appear before them the very next day!

Jiang Yan's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wudi noticed that Jiang Yan's condition was not right.

"Lord Lin, are you... really?" Jiang Yan suddenly asked. If NPCs could enter the real world, then what exactly are NPCs?

Is it a digital life form similar to Digimon, or some other existence he cannot comprehend?

Lin Wudi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What are you talking about? I'm sitting right across from you, of course it's true!"

"No, what I mean is..." Jiang Yan was about to ask again, but Lin Wudi didn't give him the chance.

He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, I'm a little tired. You can go now."

Helpless, Jiang Yan could only get up and leave.

But once he reached the entrance of the city lord's mansion, he acted as if he were back home: "Where's the steward?"

"I'm here, I'm here." The butler stepped out from the corner with a bitter expression: He knew this little devil was looking for him!

Jiang Yan hooked her arm around his neck and pulled him to the side, whispering, "Butler, are you serious?"

"Hehe, Mr. Jiang is joking. Of course I'm real. Otherwise, would I be a ghost?" the butler said with a smile.

"You know what I'm asking!" Jiang Yan threatened in a low, cold voice, "Butler, you don't want evidence of your crimes to appear on Lin Wudi's desk, do you?"

"Mr. Jiang, you... I... I'm sixty years old," the butler said with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.

"What does your sixty have to do with me..." Jiang Yan sneered, "Tell me or not!!"

"I..." The butler sighed helplessly, "Mr. Jiang, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but we are all bound by contracts that prevent us from revealing anything outside the game to the players, or we will be destroyed. Please don't force me."

contract?

Something outside of the game?!

Jiang Yan felt a chill run down his spine at that moment.

Doesn't this mean that the butler and Lin Wudi are both living, breathing human beings just like him?

For some reason, they became NPCs in the game!

Jiang Yan quickly processed the information, then asked solemnly, "Butler, as a human, do you have any good advice for me?"

The butler paused, then said earnestly, "Mr. Jiang, the Abyss, the Undead, and the Hell races are our human race's greatest enemies. You must grow stronger as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yan's pupils contracted, realizing the butler's unspoken message: the abyss, the undead, and hell are real!

Moreover, these three races are filled with malice towards humans!

and many more!

At this moment, Jiang Yan suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility, and this possibility seemed to be getting closer and closer to reality: if wild monsters can invade the real world, then what about the three races of the Abyss, the Undead, and Hell?

If they could also invade Earth, would Earth still be the Earth for humankind?

Jiang Yan looked at the butler and suddenly had a guess: Could it be that the world the butler lived in was also invaded by the three races of the Abyss, the Undead, and Hell, and that he was forced to become an NPC in the game?

If that's the case, then who made this game?

Gods, or advanced civilization?

Jiang Yan couldn't imagine it.

"If Mr. Jiang has nothing else, I'll be leaving now." The butler was bending over, about to slip away, when Jiang Yan pulled him back.

"Butler, is there anything else?" Jiang Yan took a deep breath, suppressing his various guesses, and then asked, "How's your task with me going?"

"Well..." the butler said with difficulty, "Mr. Jiang, Lord Li of Tianlong City is not familiar with our Lord Lin, and I don't know how to approach him."

"So, the steward hasn't made any progress at all?" Jiang Yan's face suddenly darkened. "In that case, let's go find City Lord Lin!"

"No, no!" the butler said with a pained expression, pulling him back. "I really am sixty!"

"You're useless even at eighty!" Jiang Yan sneered. "In our world, sixty is the perfect time to venture out and make your way in the world!"

"Huh?" The butler was stunned, and said with a mournful face, "Then, then I'll give it a try? But what if I fail, I..."

"Don't worry, I will give you a grand funeral!" Jiang Yan patted his shoulder, turned and left.

The housekeeper's eyes were blurry with tears; she couldn't control herself.

Jiang Yan left the city lord's mansion with a solemn expression.

If his conjecture comes true, then in the near future, Earth will definitely be invaded by the three races of the Abyss, the Undead, and Hell!

I must improve my strength as soon as possible!

Jiang Yan arrived at the teleportation array, preparing to go to Zhurong City, but suddenly remembered that he had already obtained the [Thunder Liquid], so there was no need for him to go to the third western peak of the Duan Tian Mountains.

Jiang Yan's mind raced, and he chose to teleport to Xingtian City!

Xingtian City is the territory of the T1 guild [War God Temple]. A few days ago, due to [Dragon Palace], they formed an alliance with guilds such as [Prosperous Dynasty] and [Dark Empire], and have been very active.

Jiang Yan chose this place because Xiao Dongxie had said that there was a high-grade mine north of Xingtian City, and that the temperature there was very strange, fluctuating between high and low.

Go there, firstly, you can fight monsters and level up, and secondly, you can go on adventures and find unexpected encounters!

As the saying goes, a horse won't get fat without night grass. Without a fortuitous encounter, how can one increase their strength in a short period of time?

He felt like he had forgotten something... Jiang Yan thought for a moment, but couldn't remember. So, while he was on his way, he opened the game forum.

With only half a day left before the game invades reality, Jiang Yan believes that many players must have awakened. If so, the game forums will definitely be very "lively"!

Just as he expected, as soon as Jiang Yan opened the forum, he saw a large number of posts that had been marked as "featured"!

It's worth noting that it costs ten million yuan in cash to feature a post on a gaming forum, and now... Jiang Yan counted, there are at least two hundred posts!!

He randomly opened one of them, and it was a confession from a priest player with the ID "Old Cow". In the confession, he said that his mother had terminal cancer. In order to earn money, Old Cow entered the game, chose the priest, and became a cog in a guild. Whether it was a daytime team battle or a nighttime boss fight, he never missed a game, just to earn more money.

Just yesterday, Lao Niu's mother jumped off a building to commit suicide so as not to burden him.

Because he jumped from the fourth floor, his mother did not die on the spot. In her dying moments, Lao Niu arrived, held his mother and was heartbroken. Then... he woke up!

He unleashed a barrage of healing spells, including the level 0 healing spell he had mastered, the level 10 group healing spell, the level 20 blessing and grace spells, and the level 30 blessing and holy healing spells. Then, his mother recovered.

The external injuries, fractures, internal organ ruptures, and even cancer caused by jumping off buildings have all healed!

Below the self-report, there is a video taken by onlookers. In the video, you can clearly see the dazzling scene of Lao Niu performing his healing technique in front of the crowd of people in the community, as well as the exclamations and discussions of the onlookers, which are as noisy as a vegetable market!

The person who marked this post as a featured post was the guild leader of Lao Niu's guild!

Jiang Yan left this thread and read other threads, almost all of which were related to player awakening.

As for the comments, a considerable number of people believe that this is a publicity stunt by the official "Peak" team in an attempt to attract more players to the game.

However, a small number of players believed it because they had reached the edge of awakening and vaguely sensed a 'mysterious power' slowly surging within their bodies!

Just as Jiang Yan was browsing the game forums, at the foot of the third peak in the western part of the Duan Tian Mountains, Little Eastern Heretic once again emerged from the lake mud, his eyes resolute: "For ten thousand gold coins, I must find [Thunder Liquid]!!"
