"Is he father's guest? Just say he's not here."
Himuro Zhong said this with certainty. Her father, Himuro Dosetsu, was the mayor of Fuyuki. He would be busy visiting people everywhere during the New Year, so he would not stay in this house for long.
But it is strange to say that the guests who could visit this place at the beginning of the year must be acquaintances of my father, and it is impossible for them not to know that my father is not here.
"Miss."
Bingshiro Zhong looked up from his book and saw the butler coming back. "What's wrong?"
“Guests brought giveaways.”
"Oh, is it a New Year gift? Just tell me that I will pass it on to my father."
"Sorry, no, the guest said it was for you."
"......oh?"
After a while, Himuro Zhong took off the gift helmet and stared at it quietly. "...Interesting."
This experience is a bit like Alice's Wonderland... No, judging from the specific experience, it is more like a 'Yellow Millet Dream'.
Turning around, Bingshi Zhong saw several identical unopened gift boxes next to him.
"Butler, send these to Makidera Kaede, Saegusa Yukika, Mizutsu Ayako, and their homes."
After the butler took these things away, Bingshi Zhong murmured, "Huh, that's strange, I don't seem to remember who sent them."
----------
"Have they all been delivered?"
At the association's headquarters, Qin Xuan asked about the progress, and then the female nightmare made a promise with a smile on her face.
"...Master, please rest assured. The 1,000 spots for the internal test have all been released. According to the plan, the people who get these test qualifications include minors, high school students, adults of different professions, from ordinary families to business families, political families, etc."
"Okay, let's see how they perform in the 'game'. Oh, and my part..."
Honestly, Qin Xuan really wanted to quit. He made so many preparations just to let his subordinates do the work for him, so that Qin Xuan could drink tea and watch the show. How comfortable it would be. But the Dream Demon gave him the role of "player guide".
"Hey, my dear Master, please don't despise the trouble of this role," Ms. Avalon saw that Qin Xuan was not in a good mood, so she hurriedly explained in a gentle voice, "Think about it, players must need guidance when entering a strange world. If we let them explore freely without guidance, how slow will the efficiency be? Your ambitions and our indicators/KPI completion rate must be in jeopardy!"
"——If we have your wise leadership at this time, we can not only remove the obstacles with overwhelming force, but also guide the players to grow throughout the process, and gain their full loyalty, not... recognition!"
“Hahahahahahaha!” Prelati at the side didn’t care about the nightmare girl’s thoughts at all. “I said so much, but in fact, isn’t it just to make you feel at ease? The boss goes to work, so the employees have the opportunity to slack off, right?”
Thanks to the leadership of the chief planner, Ms. Avalon, Prelati has become a senior worker these days, a senior worker who curses Merlin for withholding wages and benefits and exploiting employees every day in the fantasy theater in his mind.
"..."
In response, the nightmare did not get angry, but smiled and glanced at Prelati vaguely, implying "just wait for overtime."
In fact, she did not deny that she also did it for her own convenience. Oh, more often than not, she really considered the Master. After all, a leader who always hides behind the scenes is not a good leader. From time to time, he should emphasize his presence in front of the employees and use both kindness and authority. Only in this way can he be considered......
"Good king?" Qin Xuan replied calmly, "Did you fool King Arthur in the same way back then?"
"Hey, well...hehehe." The female nightmare stopped talking on the spot and began to turn her head to appreciate the air in the room.
After a moment of silence, the door of the room was knocked open.
Three girls full of youthful energy, the magical girl trio ran in -
"Hey - big brother, we are here!" Chloe was not wearing a heroic spirit costume, but was wearing casual clothes.
"Xiao Hei, you're running too fast! Sorry to bother you guys!" The next one was the magical girl version of Illya. Although in terms of age, the Illya of this world was older and the magical girl version was younger, but in terms of body size, the two were reversed.
The last one to come in was Miyu, "Excuse me, I heard that big brother needs help with the project he's busy with..."
The lively atmosphere filled the room, so Qin Xuan finally didn't have to face Merlin and Prelati, two guys who looked like they smelled of old age (?), with a stern face.
But Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows when he heard what Miyu said, "Who told you to come here to help?"
"it's me!"
The door that had just been hit by Hei's magic clanged again, and a person with a strong aura walked in was Toosaka Rin. Originally, when she was possessed by Ereshkigal, she had a head full of blonde hair, but now only most of Toosaka Rin's hair was black, and it gradually turned golden from the middle of her hair.
"...!"
Prelati was so scared when she saw this face that she wanted to run away. Help! This is the fierce person who fought Ishtar head-on! Now the aura on her body is even more terrifying. Could it be that she ate Ishtar! ?
"Hmm? Big sis, you seem to be shaking all over, is it okay?" Chloe seemed to find Prelati's reaction quite interesting, and pointed her finger in the direction of Prelati's abdomen, "Hey, big sis, it seems like something is moving here--"
"Xiao Hei, don't use magic secretly to do bad things!" Illya stretched out her hand to interrupt what Chloe was doing.
"I didn't! I just felt that this big sister had something in her intestines!"
There was a commotion over there. Qin Xuan looked at Tosaka Rin worriedly, "——Why are you here now? You look like... did you fail in the transformation to a spirit?"
"No, I just tried it a little bit, and stopped when I found that there seemed to be a conflict between the divinities." Toosaka Rin shook her head. She would not be so casual with her body. "There are three gods in the body, forming the personality of 'Heaven, Earth and Man'. There is nothing wrong with this theoretical structure, but no matter how I try, I feel that Ishtar and Ereshkigal refuse to merge with each other."
She looked at Qin Xuan, "After all, it's impossible for these two pillars of gods to be compatible with the same body at the same time, right?"
"No, it is indeed possible," Qin Xuan thought of the upcoming Absolute Warcraft Front, "Perhaps, you also need to go there this time. I will go and prepare in a while."
----------
Void.
The branches of the World Tree support the cave universe, but also present endless possibilities. This possibility makes it change and link to the unknown coordinates of the vast void.
One of the branches is mixed with the source of life. It is already a vibrant existence, but now it is mixed with the black mud surface. Following this characteristic, it deepens the connection with a specific independent world of time and space.
That was the Mesopotamian plain not long ago.
Ancient human civilization flourished, stumbling forward under the witness of the gods. The first kingship descended from the sky to Eridu. Then the civilization of Sumer flourished with history, and Enlil's flood once destroyed everything. But there were always new kings and leaders who left their creations and legends.
The ancient hero king Gilgamesh succeeded his father Lugalbanda as the fifth ruler of Uruk. He met Enkidu, the son of nature and weapon made by the gods. After becoming friends, the two defeated Humbaba and killed the Bull of Heaven. However, Enkidu was killed by the curse of the gods not long after.
Gilgamesh was so grief-stricken that he decided to pursue immortality. He found the immortal herb, but he also learned that the price of eternal life was to become a vegetable. As a result, one day after returning from the underworld, the herb was eaten by a snake.
Gilgamesh was not sad or angry about this, but felt relieved. He did not need immortality.
He once again set out on the journey back to Uruk.
However, on the way, Gilgamesh's clairvoyance was activated and he saw a certain scene.
The gods from the underworld... the gods from the dense forest... the mother goddess from the sea - the flames of war burned the city, and countless dark monsters rolled down the black mud -
Wait, something's wrong—
The figure of the god gradually became blurred. No, the most important information was not here - the clairvoyant's perspective subconsciously raised up and saw a huge halo in the sky.
No, that one isn't it either.
Continue up.
What? A branch?
The huge tree branch, which seemed to be large enough to cover the entire Mesopotamian plain, seemed to want to break through, and then the world was foreshadowed by destruction, and this space and time could not withstand the power that was coming. Seeing this, the branch immediately stopped and retracted into the unknown void.
----------
"...!"
Gilgamesh suddenly woke up from his throne in the middle of the night. He had returned to Uruk. He had once used his clairvoyance to observe the future and recorded it in the clay tablet of destiny. He did not expect to see it again.
"King! What's wrong with you, King?"
Chief Witch Siduri called out.
"The king is fine. It's just... I 'saw' the same scene again."
At the same time, Qin Xuan's figure appeared in the distant city of Kusa.
Chapter 478 Earthly Immortal × Lord God Space√
"...Can't you just come in directly?"
Qin Xuan suddenly appeared outside the city of Kusa. Kusa was a relatively remote location compared to the royal city of Uruk, and it was close to the Ebifu Mountains where Ishtar left her legend. In other words, this was still a place where Ishtar's faith was strong.
However, the moon was dim at that time, and even though there were occasional patrolling guards, none of them noticed his presence.
He spread out his hands and observed his current condition. What came through was not his real body, but merely a clone with slightly weaker power, similar to a branch of the World Tree, or even weaker.
This situation was not an accident, but the only way to intervene without causing losses after he probed the void and obtained the coordinates of the Absolute Warcraft Front. Previously, he planned to use the power of the branches to directly enter the world and interfere to a large extent, which as expected caused a huge backlash.
To be precise, it seemed that the world's "endurance" had reached its limit in an instant.
This was completely different from the first time he explored other worlds, the two worlds of Mo Yi. This was the first time Qin Xuan used the World Tree to enter directly. If he couldn't get in completely, was it because this method was too obvious? And it was very different from the previous situation. The scale of Qin Xuan's body was equivalent to the scale of the Dongtian Universe, which was greater than or equal to the first-class planetary level, so the scale of the body was also affected.
"Forget it... In this case, it's better not to rush for success." Qin Xuan could also enter directly in his body, but the price would be that this world would face collapse. He is not here to destroy the world, so this would not be of any benefit to him. "Prometheus, observe the changes in the output channel."
What Qin Xuan was referring to was the "scale" that he could achieve while ensuring the stable existence of this world.
[Numerical observation of world line in progress... Space-time distortion error correction in progress...]
[Report, it can be confirmed that the current scale is 0.03% of the whole, originally it was 0.01%. The moment you, the creator, entered the world, an unknown change occurred, and the scale allowed by the channel has increased. ]
"Unknown changes?"
Qin Xuan had just arrived in this world and hadn't done anything? Did his existence itself cause some kind of disturbance to this world line?
[Possibility Analysis: The world codenamed EARTH-GO (grand order) is in a state of human incineration. The Sumerian world at this moment is an independent causal space-time that has been separated from the quantum record fixed belt. The creator can interfere with the fate of this world at this time, thereby promoting the world to accelerate the widening of the channel. ]
'Fate interferes...' Qin Xuan knew that fate had different mechanisms and meanings in different worlds, but it was very clear in the Type-Moon world. It was obviously things like human nature and quantum recording tapes.
You know, he had just conducted an experiment on human principles not long ago. By causing mutations, causing troubles by the Servants of the Age of Gods, and so on, he successfully weakened the strength of the old human principles, thus giving the new human principles on the scientific side the opportunity to change the world effortlessly.
If other world lines observed the historical development of Qin Xuan's world, the certain Gai who created the seven singularities and the certain alien god who sent down the seven imaginary trees would probably be envious.
Of course, it was also because Qin Xuan himself negotiated with Gaia and reduced the planet's resistance force.
However, other worlds are not so easy to communicate with, and they are not familiar with Qin Xuan. Of course, Qin Xuan doesn't care, "It doesn't matter, the process is still the same as last time, this time it's just to let the players do things."
The burning of human nature is a bad thing for the FGO world, but not necessarily for Qin Xuan. When the interference of the inhibitory force drops to a very low level, players have room for early growth. As long as it reaches a sufficient level, that is, the players accumulate a certain amount of cause and effect through their actions, then he can widen the channel and seek his own interests.
Even, 'eat' the whole world.
The cave universe needs to be cultivated and grown. If you don't want to be trapped by the upper limit of the earthly immortal method, you must find a way yourself. The method recorded in the "Earthly Element Sutra" is nothing more than the traditional immortal cultivation method of going through countless disasters to advance or evolve into earthly immortal Dao fruit. However, Qin Xuan is in the Type-Moon world, where both the laws and the world structure are completely different. Taking the initiative may be a way out.
And it’s not a delusion. I’ve already eaten it once in the Moyi world. Now it seems that this first time will not be the last time.
"The princes are the ones who steal the country, and the earthly immortals are the ones who steal the world. As long as the saints live, the thieves will never stop."
Qin Xuan thought about this and began to ponder the script that would disturb the world and distort fate, which is the 'main line' of the players.
"But my operation plan for this earthly immortal, deploying troublemakers... distorting the 'plot'... it feels a bit like déjà vu."
What was the name of the last organization that did this, the Lord God Space?
----------
A day later, Qin Xuan left the area around Kusa City. It was too peaceful here and there was not much valuable information.
The earth is rapidly retreating, the clouds in the sky are moving backwards—
Qin Xuan, who was only the size of a clone, used his geomantic technique 'Shrinking the Earth into an Inch' for the first time in a long time. Even though he could not teleport to any corner of the planet, he could move tens or hundreds of kilometers horizontally, so long-distance travel was not a problem.
So we arrived in the north.
“Yo, are you dismantling the city of Babylon?”
Qin Xuan teleported here in one step, and saw groups of soldiers and laborers dismantling the city of Babylon, which was famous in later generations, and transporting the construction materials to a specific location in the south by donkey carts.
"Over there... they are digging deep foundations and trenches. Oh, this is the prototype of the Absolute Monster Front·North Wall." Qin Xuan walked in it. The invisibility spell he cast on himself was not noticed by anyone. At the same time, a lot of Sumerian conversations came into his ears. "Is this the order of the Hero King? It seems that he has foreseen the future."
I just don’t know how much Gilgamesh knows about the arrival of Qin Xuan from other worlds and the future of the players.
Qin Xuan did not stay for too long, and he did not plan to meet Gilgamesh. After all, he was not in the same group as the Uruk forces in this world, the Three Goddesses Alliance, or even Goetia, who had done the burning of human nature. He was a real outsider force.
After a while, Qin Xuan came to an open space in the northeast. This was the "player starting point" he chose after a day of careful consideration. There were no strange forces around, no contact with the north wall, and it was relatively far away from the future monster army in the north. But at the same time, there were also many monsters living around, big, medium and small, so it was a good place to focus on the early stage of leveling.
"boom."
A heavy sound fell to the ground, and one device after another was transmitted from the ground vein formation set up by Qin Xuan through the only small channel, and the other end was the headquarters of the association of this world.
"——Big brother is back! Thank you for your hard work in the investigation!" The three magical girls are busy with these equipment. Apart from Toosaka Rin and others, they have been with Qin Xuan the longest. After being together for a long time, they are very familiar with many things and can cooperate with Qin Xuan efficiently.
As for Toosaka Rin, her current condition is not suitable for coming here, so it is better for her to remain stable. Qin Xuan plans to wait for the embarrassing goddess of this world to appear, and then grab her and give her a talk.
