You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Yuki nodded. This was the theory of reincarnation erosion that he discussed with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and others. The memories of his hometown faded away, and he was in a completely new order, gradually becoming indistinguishable from the reincarnation game.

"It's really hard to maintain your original intention. Surrounded by people like you, and with the painful memories of each dungeon, these things can easily reshape a person. Of course, some players would rather reshape themselves and forget the pain of their hometown."

"Mr. Li, you shouldn't have been a player for long." Ryougi Shiki picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Well, so I haven't forgotten my original intention. The reincarnation game is a nightmare to me."

"It seems you are very happy in your hometown, but as time goes by, your companions will pass away one by one, and you will eventually become part of the reincarnation game."

This was not a pleasant thing to say, but Yuki couldn't refute it. He had only experienced 6 copies and had already changed a little. What if there were 60 copies? What if the seniors died one by one?

Darken, no, it should be said that if Yuuki wants to continue to survive, he can only completely transform into a player.

Killing, plundering, strengthening, endless cycle, like endless purgatory, until the day of death.

Looking at the changes on the man's face, Ryougi Shiki roughly understood what kind of player Mr. Li belonged to. In her eyes, all players fell into three categories:

There are fools who go with the flow; there are ambitious people who are bewildered by power and obsessed with climbing up the ladder; and there are also sober people who try to break away from the game in order to find complete liberation.

But this is impossible. Even I can only fix my 'roots' and not be assimilated by the game.

Ryougi Shiki sighed softly. She was of course the third type. Her so-called power was not as good as just looking at him.

"Mr. Li, you want to know what the 'Lost Ones' are?"

"Well, to be exact, I want to see where the end of reincarnation is." Yuki made no secret of his goal. Although Ryougi Shiki did not say it explicitly, he had already revealed that she was the same kind as him.

"Then you might be disappointed." Ryougi Shiki placed a piece of golden paper on the table and slowly slid two fingers across it. "Some information disclosed at this stage will result in game warnings and may even attract the Judge. You were right to come to me."

Does this mean that even if someone knows the information, they can't speak it out? Phew, it's a good thing I didn't go to Iron Faith. Johnny Silverhand definitely wouldn't have had enough face.

This piece of golden paper must have a price. The reason why Ryougi Shiki is willing to pay is, on the one hand, because of Manas's kindness, and on the other hand, because of the mutual respect between people of the same kind.

Yuki picked up the paper, took a look at it, raised his eyebrows, twitched the corners of his mouth, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

After going through countless hardships and making countless guesses, he finally got the final answer from Ryougi Shiki by chance:

The reincarnation game has no end.

Chapter 7.5 The Road Ahead (K)

The so-called lost ones are people from other forces. After their death, they fell into the boundary of the reincarnation game and became objects that should be excluded.

To use the commonly accepted term among players, the Lost Ones are players from other games. They are naturally hostile to the players of the reincarnation game and are the type that cannot possibly cooperate with them.

No wonder the Witch God treats everyone equally and has never thought of making deals with players. No wonder the Witch God Soul Crystal has a strange description. No wonder He can allow me to have a second bloodline skill.

In simple terms, the Witch God is a player in the Pantheon.

"Damn, infinite nesting dolls."

Yuki covered his head, this answer was a bit too cruel.

This extraordinary world is so huge that it is unimaginable. Apart from individual players, there are worlds. Many worlds gathered together form camps. Various camps form the reincarnation game, and there are other games outside the reincarnation game.

What a vast worldview, like the endless sands. No matter how strong an individual is, he is just a grain of sand. So what if he becomes the strongest in the reincarnation game? He will still be trapped in the endless purgatory and never be reborn.

No wonder I felt that the reincarnation game was a selection after I left the Demon Hospital. No wonder the reincarnation game required me to cut off everything in my hometown. This was all to cultivate the sharpest killing weapon.

"The 'reincarnators' mentioned by the Witch God are probably the players who represent the Reincarnation Game in the war. It seems that mass production of Reincarnators is the ultimate goal of the game."

Yuki didn't know what kind of war he was participating in or why the war was going on, and he wasn't interested in knowing. At this moment, he finally understood the essence of the reincarnation game.

This is not some evil hobby that takes pleasure in torturing lives, but an extremely large and complex selection activity to create the strongest weapon by raising insects.

This kind of weapons must be valuable after they are manufactured. They are the real core and treasure of the reincarnation game. Before this, all players are just in the stage of trying to become the best by eating the small fish.

"This explains why there are no complete pioneers besides me. Even if someone clears the level with one life, they no longer need pioneer privileges. It will be broken into countless pieces and inherited by those who come after them."

"But why isn't there a single word from them in the border area? This isn't the same as going to the outpost. The Reincarnators must have transformed into game form. Wouldn't it be better to bring some cannon fodder?"

Yuki suddenly found something suspicious, looked up, and saw Ryougi Shiki drinking tea silently.

"Is it really never going to end?"

"At least, I can't see the end." Ryougi Shiki shook his head slightly and sighed. "From the moment you become a player, there's no future. You either die or fight your way to the end. I think 'they' should be free."

"No one knows this. It's like putting a carrot in front of you and letting a donkey run forward desperately. It's like a kind of psychological comfort." Yuki gritted his teeth. No wonder he hadn't figured out how to escape the game since the first copy.

No, from the moment you are pulled into the reincarnation game, you can only follow this path, either die halfway or reach the peak.

Desperate to the point of committing suicide? Sorry, a large number of players die every second. The reincarnation game doesn't care why you die. Even if it's one in a billion, it's just a matter of proportion.

"Feeling hopeless?" Ryougi Shiki put down his teacup.

"A little bit, but I didn't have any expectations in the first place. I thought the reincarnation game would feel pity." Yuuki shook his head. This result was expected a long time ago. If it was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, he would definitely be desperate. How could he fight against the game that set the script when he was in the game?

But I am different. The strange outpost, the game's desperate attempt to wipe me out, and the choices after unlocking features and the bloodthirsty red moon...

Yuki now knows who is protecting him and who is fighting against him in the dimension of the reincarnation game. He can even guess his thoughts from some strange benefits of the outpost.

Regardless of whether this is correct or not, regardless of what he wants to do, Yuki only knows that he can be feared by the reincarnation game, which means infinite risks and also means unique opportunities.

Taiyi, He can fight against the reincarnation game, this path will definitely work.

Yuki straightened his back, and finally changed Ryougi Shiki's indifferent look. As an extremely experienced epic player, many players with the same wish had come to seek answers.

No matter how strong and determined they were, or how much they wanted to return, they all despaired after learning what the 'Lost Ones' were.

Just like a beaten eggplant, the fire in their eyes was extinguished in an instant, and many people died in despair.

But he is different. Why does he look like he has cleared away the haze and become more determined?

"You... have a solution?" Ryougi Shiki couldn't help but speak, his eyes filled with a hint of heat.

"It's not really a solution, it's just my resolve." Yuuki wasn't one to fool around and boast about how awesome he was. He smiled and said, "The game doesn't give me a way, so I have to find it myself. You're a senior, so I guess you have some clues."

It's a lie, but telling the truth when we first meet would make you look like a fool.

Ryougi Shiki was a little disappointed, but she also understood. Just like she had to ask the Source for information about the 'Lost Ones', the reincarnation game was in a higher dimension, and He was everywhere.

It's normal for players to want to leave the game, but if anyone really dares to do so, they are going against the route set by the reincarnation game. Isn't that what the judge does?

"I have some clues, and I'm happy to share them with you."

Wow, your attitude has changed.

Yuki raised his eyebrows. He knew that Ryougi Shiki had the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, and that she had lied on purpose. With Shiki's personality, she could certainly understand and would not rush to question him.

She keenly spotted the opportunity and would of course choose to cooperate. If Yuki really had a decisive clue, she would even humble herself and let the old driver guide me.

The second piece of golden paper was slid in front of him. Yuki took a look at it and his pupils shrank sharply.

Many big guys may know the information about the Lost Ones, but this information was definitely discovered by Ryougi Shiki after going through a lot of hardships and taking great risks, and the content is also very simple.

"The Reincarnator was once the king of the Junction, but due to an incident, he was isolated in a higher dimension. This incident is called the 'Great Upheaval'."

"Every trace of the person who did this has been erased from the game."

“I’m looking for His legacy.”

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but then he returned to indifference under full control and picked up the tea.

"This secret is shocking, but I'm not at the level to touch it yet."

"We'll be there soon." Ryougi Shiki lowered his head and continued the tea ceremony. "You're close to the epic. Do you want to know the path ahead?"

Yuki immediately sat up straight and nodded without hesitation: "I will listen to the teachings of the senior."

"It's not really teaching. The prerequisite is to get an epic achievement, and then increase your score to burst the monsters. You can also stack chaos items or absorb various miscellaneous skills to increase your score, but I suggest you don't do that."

"Why?" Yuki thought to himself that this was a method used by the krypton gold flow or the breeding team.

“Before reaching epic level, it’s a process of quantitative change. But a truly strong player can have many skills and props, but not too many core abilities.”

Ryougi Shiki stared at Yuki, her eyes were blue and deep, as if connected to the roots, absorbing people's souls.

"Strengthen this core ability and use it as a sharp sword to slash the door to epic success. Only then can you achieve true qualitative change."

......

Yuuki left contentedly, and only mother and daughter were left in the room.

The tea was warm, emitting a sweet aroma. Ryougi Shiki knelt upright, the expression on her cold face changing. Mana sat obediently beside her, her blue eyes full of curiosity.

She rarely saw her mother with such a rich expression. The last time was when she found some key clues. She remembered that her mother was very excited at that time.

Just as I was thinking about it, a hand was placed on my head and gently stroked it.

"Mana, you did a great job."

"Well, I didn't expect that I could help my mother so much." Mana scratched her head. Her original intention was that she thought Yuki was very powerful and might be a good thug, and then she could use intelligence to keep him under control.

I never thought that the two parties would cooperate, but the content of the cooperation was related to my mother's wishes.

"This is cause and effect, indescribable cause and effect, just like a clue I stumbled upon." Ryougi Shiki didn't have the air of a charlatan, but every word he said spoke like the truth. "This Mr. Li is no ordinary person. It's because your 'manas' can't see through him that I decided to meet him."

"No player who can be hunted by the Judge is simple, but I think he is more mysterious."

Mysterious? Countless players possess this trait. Strength is key; without strength, no wish can be fulfilled. Strength without a path ultimately becomes a mere tool in the game.

Ryougi Shiki took a few steps and looked at the knight standing upright in the courtyard. There were many players who wanted to leave the game, but they were only qualified to do so after reaching Monster IV.

To this end, she decided to bet on the other party, and while handing over a task, she also paid a deposit.

He has good strength and a mysterious identity, but he is also surprisingly ignorant. Could it be that he has just ascended to heaven?

"Mom, is there really a way to go back?" Mana hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help it.

"Yes, and someone almost did it before." Ryougi Shiki refused to reveal the name, as if that would trigger cause and effect. "Mana, you go with him."

"what?"

"I have a feeling that this person is very important." Ryougi Shiki gently stroked the door frame, recalling the 'root' she had glimpsed when she was recounting the key clues.

I couldn’t see anything, but I was closely connected to the heritage, so after much hesitation, I made up my mind.

The most important thing is that my road is almost coming to an end and I don’t have time.

"You can sign a contract with him. The closer the better. I don't want to be thrown out of the game when that path becomes apparent."

Mana tilted his head, his blue eyes were extremely clear, as if he didn't understand.

Is this selling my daughter?

.......

Now I have no choice.

At the same time, Yuki was walking on the road at the border, passing by all kinds of players. The main task was pushed forward for a long time. Through a chance encounter, Yuki understood a lot of inside information.

It turns out that the border area was the base of the reincarnationists in the past. No wonder it needs to be connected with various outposts. This kind of connection is also a test. The closed world is not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

Many questions were answered, his horizons were broadened, and most importantly, Yuki finally had a clear path.

"Being a corporate slave within the framework of the reincarnation game is useless. Your boss won't sympathize with you just because you're ambitious. He'll only exploit you more. The problem is, this crappy game doesn't even bother to offer a good deal."

"You either die or keep going. Either way, He will not lose anything."

Yuki pursed his lips. What good would it be if he reached the stage of reincarnation? He might not be able to unify all the 'games' and become the only one?

This may be possible, but it is too far away and there are too many variables along the way.

"Then I can only place my bet on Taiyi. Although I don't understand what he is, he must have a grudge against the Samsara Game. In fact, he has always been protecting me."

Once the route is clear, the next step will become clear as day.

"First, continue to improve your strength and unlock the black sword. This is a necessary condition for approaching the truth. Second, cooperate with Ryougi Shiki. She is definitely the core figure of the return faction, and she will need cross-faction collaborators around her."

Ryougi Shiki is really taking a risk, but it's much better than just shouting a few slogans. As an epic player and one of the five Heroic Kings, she can also make up for Yuuki's weak foundation.

After all, there are only two copies after ascension, and I dare not do anything high-profile, so how can I find allies?

"But Sister Shiki is too cautious. As an ally, she actually assigned me a mission."

Yuki snorted, but felt much more at ease. After all, he was going against the game, so the more cautious the better. He didn't want to hide a spy of the Judge and expose himself.

"And the epic promotion, I knew there must be some trick to it, Sister Shi was a big help."

He finally understood what a true epic powerhouse was. There were many routes to reach this point. Just supporting the score was not very useful. Even if the energy changed to achieve a qualitative change, it would still be much weaker than those at the same level.

There is no shortcut to becoming stronger. If you insist on taking it, you will have to pay the price.

The best way is to use overall accumulation to reach the door, then use the most core ability to kick the door open, and then the foot that kicks the door will change 100%.

If you accumulate 32 specialization points and improve your physical fitness to LV9, you can also be promoted to epic, and there is a high probability that you will become a melee specialist.
