Peach Blossom Paradise

Lyra was killed by Visas.

Bai Wei received some news that he wasn't sure if it was important or not.

In Blasphemy, the origins and backgrounds of the various gods are not explained in great detail, and the protagonist of the game only glimpses a corner of this real world in the end, powerless to change it. Therefore, many players at the time believed that Blasphemy was an incomplete game, and that a sequel or sequel would definitely be released to fill in this incomplete world view... but that's a story for another time.

Now, as Visas's Bai Wei, he can see more than the players.

Just like that scene from earlier.

It didn't even feel like watching, but rather like... reminiscing.

That vivid feeling was as if I had personally ended the reigning Lyra God many years ago.

The shattered Divine Kingdom and the burning sky are so vivid in my mind.

Yes.

Bai Wei lifted Jie La Er's hand and gently stroked his left eye.

It's right there in this eye.

But soon, Bai Wei felt doubtful again.

If the memory isn't false, Lyra was indeed killed by Visas, then what about the guy now? Why is he still alive?

Bai Wei continued to recall, trying to find the same "Memories of Visas" again, but unfortunately it was gone. That memory seemed to reside in this eye, and the image of Lyra burning as she fell from the Divine Kingdom was the last scene.

Visas believed that He was dead.

But He did not, and has lived to this day, even becoming one of the four great gods.

How did He escape His own death?

Bai Wei fell into thought, and then gradually made a guess, but before his guess could be confirmed, a glint in the corner of his eye caught his attention.

He looked over with some curiosity and discovered that it was the system panel that he had previously overlooked.

Well, how should I put it?

This thing is so inconspicuous that Bai Wei almost forgot he also has a system.

So besides indicating the progress of body parts recovery, what other function does this thing serve?

Bai Wei's thoughts stirred slightly, and the system panel rapidly enlarged in his eyes. Only then did he notice a line of small print below the "Body Integrity - 5%" that he had just glanced at, which was now flashing continuously. Upon closer inspection, he found that it read "The entrance to Peach Blossom Paradise has been opened."

Following this line of small print was a transparent sphere. Something was inside the sphere, but it was too blurry to see clearly.

What exactly is Peach Blossom Paradise?

Bai Wei was quite certain that he had never heard of this term in the game.

Of course, this is normal. In the game, Visas is just a background character who leads out the body parts, and there is very little other information about him.

This Peach Blossom Paradise was just launched, so it's obviously a new function that only becomes available after the body's integrity reaches 5%. However, it's not in the game. Even if players collect multiple body parts, there's no additional content besides the rules recorded on the body parts themselves.

Bai Wei seemed to be pondering something.

Is it because he is now Visas's true form?

What is the connection between Peach Blossom Paradise and Visas?

Bai Wei stared at the small ball again, and then felt that it looked somewhat like those decorative balls that cost tens of yuan each in his previous life, the kind with the Great Wall inside.

Could it be...?

Bai Wei suddenly had a guess.

So he immediately focused the power of his eyes on the small ball.

Then, the small ball rapidly expanded until it completely engulfed him.

Then, Bai Wei stood in front of a dark and dilapidated forest.

What meets the eye are dry, decaying tree branches that resemble corpses, and from a distance, it looks like a graveyard covered with tombstones.

And among them is the tallest tree, which, in this small world, is like the towering pylon of the Lyra, supporting and connecting the sky and the earth of this small world.

But it too withered and died.

It's like a rusty sword hanging down from the sky, or a giant who died standing up.

Bai Wei paused for a moment, and then unconsciously walked towards the giant tree.

His body was light and airy, like a spirit.

This allowed him to stand under the withered giant tree in a short time.

There was a stone table and four stone benches under the giant tree.

On the stone table was a withered bonsai. The tree in the bonsai looked just like a giant tree, only hundreds of times smaller.

Bai Wei stared at the potted plant.

Then he slowly reached out his hand and gently touched the withered branches on the potted plant.

With a "creak".

The withered branch made a sound as if it had broken, after all, it had been dead for many years.

However, it did not break.

It's just broken.

Where Bai Wei lightly touched, the withered outer skin peeled away, revealing the new shoot inside.

Then came the wind.

A gentle breeze suddenly stirred in this place that had been dead for who knows how many years.

Bai Wei slowly raised his head and looked at the giant tree in front of him.

The massive branches swayed gently, as if infused with new life and adorned with new colors.

It is recovering.

Bai Wei realized that his earlier guess was correct.

This is Visas's "Divine Kingdom"—Peach Blossom Paradise.

He's back.

So, Peach Blossom Paradise,

It's time to wake up.

"Really? The new source oil has arrived." Yong Xin sat in his chair, flipping through the report his subordinates had brought. "The Devil Squad is becoming more and more efficient."

With the death of Bishop Holman, the power of the New God permeated more of the real world, and Yong Xin's state became more and more stable. Unlike before, his body would not decompose on its own at night.

Therefore, he can now openly receive people outside the core members of the New Pursuit Society at night, such as the members of the Devil Squad in front of him.

"Yes." This was the man who had been with Ina earlier, De Ni Denis. He smiled and said to Yong Xin, "After all, technology is advancing."

Yong Xin nodded slightly. "Very good, then this aspect can be put on hold for now. How far have the Prospector Squad gone?"

"We're almost at the first checkpoint on Nightfall," De Ni said. "If we just come any closer, uh..."

Yong Xin noticed that De Ni's expression suddenly froze, and the respect in his eyes quickly turned into shock.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yong Xin frowned slightly, and just as he was about to ask something else, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his hand holding the documents out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils instantly narrowed.

His flesh and blood were dissipating.

How so?!

His condition should be stable by now!

After a moment of stunned silence, Yong Xin immediately checked his body and discovered something even more frightening.

[Domination] is leaving him.
