Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 854 - 851: "Xiao Lv.

[February 12th, 8:00 PM]

Su Ming’an rested in his personal space for two days.

During these two days, he continuously looked at forums, summarized experiences, and examined the strategy posts of other human elites.

While browsing the forum posts, he gradually realized—the identity of a Ruler is necessary.

Without his intentional choice to take the highest difficulty clearance route, the deepest secrets of the Ruined World would not have been unearthed. The "Original Theory" and the truth behind the "Century Catastrophe" would not have been discovered. Humanity might still be unaware of the wish conflict determination and would not be able to research and target it.

Humanity wouldn’t know that the Century Catastrophe is the World Game. Nor could humanity conclusively prove that a Full Perfect Clearer really can make a wish. Humanity might even be puzzled by the "Original Theory"—the lack of this information could deliver a devastating blow to humanity later on.

Now, only as a Ruler walking the most dangerous path can Su Ming’an gather this most hidden information.

This identity, "Ruler," is like a brave continually walking at the information forefront. Only his sharpest sword can cut through brambles and clear away the fog. He is a torchbearer, leading humanity to information they would otherwise never reach.

He always walks at the forefront. He is indispensable, irreplaceable for humanity.

Other low-difficulty perfect clears are more like a "trap." They only require you to complete the minimum task completion rate. Just like Mizushima Kawa Sora, she assassinated Acto successfully, achieving a perfect pass, hence, she wouldn’t risk digging into the history and secrets of the Ruined World. Thus, these key pieces of information remain permanently buried, and humanity would never reach these essences.

"..." After understanding this, Su Ming’an was in a cold sweat. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

If no one becomes this Ruler, humanity might ultimately fall into a state of information deficiency and make errors leading to destruction.

Each instance is either directly or indirectly revealing some key information to humanity. The Seventh World is about becoming a god in human form, the Eighth World deals with the three elements of becoming a god and the doctrine of the deity’s good and evil, and the Ninth World is about wish conflicts and the Original Theory. Without Su Ming’an’s deep exploration, much of this information would be hidden.

Su Ming’an lowered his head, glancing at the back of his hand.

He stared at those Perfect Pass pattern marks, his palm flicked, and a black card appeared in his hand.

This black card representing the Ruler’s identity still bore the words: [Multiplayer Online, Infinite Instances! Simulated World, Combat Power Duel! Global Players, Intense Competition! High-Level Game, Waiting for You to Play!]

Su Ming’an rotated it, and in the light, it shone with a viscous hue akin to fresh blood, with a faint scent of burnt joss paper.

He disliked the feeling of a destined fate, which meant no turning back, not even a bit of retreat. It meant forsaking all personal benefits and dreams, focusing solely on one path to the end.

But if he was destined, and it could change the so-called fate, he would accept such destiny.

"Turns out everything is necessary..." Su Ming’an stared at it for a few seconds before returning it to the backpack.

With players gradually returning, the Tenth World would begin in four hours.

During his rest days, Su Ming’an visited the World Independence Association, tirelessly organizing day and night, and merged the knowledge learned in the Ruined World into a document, offered free to researchers. He also left the remaining parts of the modified wheelchair for the researchers to study.

"If there can be major breakthroughs in these fields, humanity will forever be grateful to you!" Dr. Sigasuo of the World Independence Association shook his hand tightly. With this knowledge, there might be new breakthroughs.

These researchers were extremely excited, almost jumping to embrace him. Terrified, Su Ming’an fled quickly with dark circles under his eyes.

After returning to his personal space, Su Ming’an checked the latest arena information on the forum. The arena remained as solo battles but added rules for ranking matches suitable for some less famous adventurer players to participate in. Su Ming’an wasn’t interested for the moment.

During his free time, he modified the mechanical wheelchair.

...

[Treya Mechanical Wheel (Red Level): "I love you, you without a name."]

Type: Multifunctional Props

Features:

[Autopilot]: Automatic driving with flying capabilities (Current operator: Du)

[Defensive Mode]: Raises a defense shield capable of resisting 10*current Mentality Points. (Current cooldown: 60 seconds)

[Full Assault]: Conducts a full strike based on the implanted weapons (Current operator: Du)

[Escape Mode]: Activates the jet system for acceleration.

[Wheelchair Mode]: Can switch to Wheelchair Mode.

Energy Consumption: 1000/1000

Note: A mechanical product modified by player "Su Ming’an," even Boss Rabbit regards it as impressive.

...

Items from instances undergo proportional adjustments and weakening when brought into the Main God World. For example, the Black Lamb’s ability from the Eighth World Dome that shone with Divine Power against Jiu Shen’s curse and the wildfire, was adjusted in the Main God World to a minor ability "Control Barrier." An upgrade is necessary to revisit the Black Lamb Authority’s glory.

The mechanical wheelchair received some value adjustments with added equipment introductions to align more with the feel of an "equipment." After Su Ming’an’s modifications, it included the "wheel form," allowing it to hover "swish" into the skies. Be it as a vehicle or a guarantee of attack and defense, it is comprehensive.

Su Ming’an used the "Occupation Advancement Right" obtained from the main quest on the Bai Shen occupation.

...

Occupation: Bai Shen (Dark Gold Level) lv.37

(Core Skill 1) Bright Night Clone

(Core Skill 2) Judgment lv.4: You can infuse your stored Emotion Value into an NPC or Player to alter their mental state and detonate the "Seed of Curse" within the target, causing environmental pollution effects.

(Core Skill 3) Faith: You will find it easier to understand others’ words and emotions, even crossing species and dimensions. All holy, light, and healing skills have a strong bonus for you. All faith-based powers have no effect on you.

(Passive Skill) Restriction Release: Your equipment has no restrictions based on any four-dimensional attributes.

...

Bai Shen advanced from "Gold Level" to "Dark Gold Level." Su Ming’an had never heard of this level, probably because other players have not reached this tier.

After the advancement, Bai Shen gained a new "Core Skill 3." Su Ming’an thought for a bit; this new skill seemed... very useful.

—— A riddle-solver’s weapon!

"You will find it easier to understand others’ words and emotions"—isn’t this effect specifically against riddle-makers?

Su Ming’an wondered if riddle-makers would still stump him in the future.

But where would this ’easier understanding’ manifest? A flash of genius? A moment of clarity? It didn’t seem to have an accurate answer.

Additionally, what does "faith-based powers have no effect on him" mean? Jiu Shen’s mental temptations would presumably count. If he had this skill, wouldn’t that mean Jiu Shen’s powers could no longer influence his mind and emotions?

—Gods will not believe in other gods.

Other deities can no longer confuse Su Ming’an.

Su Ming’an pondered, starting to use his Points.

He currently has 631 Points left. He already has a plan in mind for using these Points.

First, attributes allocation. Bright State’s Health Points are at 2270 points, which is already somewhat tight in the Ninth World. In large-scale battles, Bright State needs to delve deep into enemy territory, and it’s easy for small attacks to chip away at these Health Points.

Purchase 30 Points to increase Physical Strength, raising the Physical Strength Value from 64 points to 94 points. Health Points increased to 500+ (94-5)*30=3170 points.

As for Shadow State, directly put it all on Spirit, blindly stacking damage. The bonuses on the other three attributes are almost zero.

Use the remaining 331 Points for Equipment Refinement.

Equipment Refinement is a common game mechanism where players can spend Points to enhance their equipment respectively, with the highest level of enhancement being level ten, and each level of enhancement requiring 20 Points.

The seven main parts—hat, top, pants, shoes, necklace, bracelet, and ring—can inherit the refinement level. Regardless of which equipment is replaced, refinement levels will be inherited. However, weapons are an exception; once weapons are replaced, the refinement level will not be inherited.

The last equipment refinement was after the Seventh World. Su Ming’an’s current full-body equipment is at +2, and the Sword of Yarman is at +8. His several Purple Grade weapons are still at +0, just right for an upgrade.

Place the "Carved Wood of the Despicable One" that can add one level of Luck on the table, raising Su Ming’an’s Luck to "A+".

Now begins the betting dog time.

"+1, refinement success!"

"+2, refinement success!"

"..."

Spent Points to enhance the four weapons—"Hunt of Glory (Purple Grade)," "Wandering Night Walk (Purple Grade)," "M-07 Floating Cannon (Purple Grade)," and "Amber Knife (Red Level)," and the special type equipment "Hand of Redemption (Red Level)" all to +2 state. These are weapons that can be used for a long time, enhancing them doesn’t lose, generally increasing Attack Power and Durability by 30%.

Preserve 131 Points for backups in the Tenth World, preventing emergencies.

Su Ming’an’s series of actions are the strategic decision-making to maximize Combat Power with human Wisdom, surrounded by tens of thousands of people on the world forum writing Strategies around his Values for him. The United Group has also provided him with the best Points usage plan, tailor-made for him, helping him make the best Points decisions.

He glanced at the soaring Combat Power, Bright State 4000 points, Shadow State 4200 points. Even if he returns to the Dome, he can face Jiu Shen’s 4500 points Combat Power in battle.

After doing all this, he sat on the bed, got the last sleep, waiting for the Tenth World to begin.

...

Ancient Martial Arts, Bai Ze Tower.

Under the azure sky, gentle streams flowed across.

A tall square building spanned across the intersection of stone roads, constructed with redwood, imposing and grand in appearance, with crystal wall lamps and pearl curtains inside. Two white jade lions stood at the entrance, a mark of luxury.

Lv Shu stood at the entrance of this building.

He raised his head, reminisced a bit, before stepping forward.

At the moment he stepped into the building, someone saw him and immediately started notifying others. Five minutes later, a group of middle-aged people surrounded Lv Shu.

Lv Shu stopped his steps, allowing these people to enclose him in the center. A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit approached him.

"Xiao Lv, regarding the Chen Tang incident, it’s our fault to you, but the main culpable person isn’t us, we also helped your family in the aftermath. We’ve already caught the person who orchestrated the fire, waiting for your execution. What do you think would be best for this?" The middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit rested on a cane, bent over, his voice carrying authority.

"...Execute?" Lv Shu’s voice was very light.

"Yes, he’s locked inside, just a word from you and you can have him executed." The man said.

"Execute him in the Main God World?" Lv Shu said.

"Area-type damage can kill a person... Although I don’t understand those network forums, I do know the Rules. If you want to execute him, blow him up to kill him. If you feel it’s insufficient, it’s all up to you." Another black-haired woman with a flower pin said: "It’s our fault to you regarding this matter, but we had our reasons back then, the matter is vast, but now we know who directly lit the fire. If you carry this out, it can conclude a matter of concern."

Lv Shu’s face remained expressionless.

He gazed at the faces of these people. A few years ago, these people self-righteously drove him out of the house ruins, giving him nothing, no food, no clothes, leaving him a street wanderer.

"I will not execute that person; I’m giving you one instance’s time." Lv Shu said: "After the Tenth World ends. If you still give me a perfunctory answer, I will take action myself. I’ll bear no responsibility for what it involves then."

The group showed difficult expressions but did not refuse.

"Xiao Lv has indeed changed."

"It’s good for young people to be sharp."

"We will definitely do our best to investigate; it’s just that it’s been some time, and the investigation will be slow, hope you understand."

"Oh, Xiao Lv, your father and mother’s memorial tablets have been put back into the ancestral hall, you see..." The middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit said.

Lv Shu turned around, stepped out of the building without saying a word.

A group of people followed behind him but were quickly stopped by the sharp aura emanating from him, only able to watch his back grow distant.

"The aura is different now, like a knife." A man said.

"Su Ming’an’s position is so high now, Xiao Lv stays with him, surely he’ll surpass us in the end."

"Once Xiao Lin, Xiao Chen clear all the instances, we’ll have confidence too."

Lv Shu’s ear moved slightly, hearing all these voices. His steps halted slightly, but soon he took his pace forward without hesitation.

Curving waters and floating cups, the road is long and the skies are high.

...

Fusang area, Qing Kong Tower.

Mizushima Kawa Sora sat on a bench on the observation deck, hugging a doll.

Qing Kong Tower is the landmark building of Fusang, standing at six hundred thirty-four meters tall, people have recreated it. Tourists took photos and memories, crowded shoulder to shoulder.

Mizushima Kawa Sora sat on the bench, repeatedly rewatching all of Su Ming’an’s live broadcast recordings, her fingers constantly dragging the progress bar, reviewing frame by frame, her bloodshot eyes fixated on the images of Su Ming’an.

She observed his every micro-expression, every muscle movement.
