Ling Yuan: The World Has Been Created

Ling Yuan's pupils condensed.

"Boom!"

A jet-black light shot into the sky.

The once bright sky was shrouded in night.

"Roar!"

A gigantic black dragon phantom appeared behind Ling Yuan.

"..."

Brakken, who had been wailing, froze.

The suffocating pressure, in particular, made him afraid to move an inch.

"No! No! Spare me! Don't kill me!"

For the first time, he felt the threat of death and begged for mercy in terror.

"I'm sorry, buddy, it's your own fault for being so inhuman."

Ling Yuan shook his head and slowly raised the long sword in his hand.

The black light surged.

The surrounding space began to shake violently.

"Next time you reincarnate, be a little more careful. If you're going to be a BOSS, you have to be prepared for it," Ling Yuan said softly.

"Who... who are you?!"

Upon hearing the word "reincarnation," Brakken's pupils contracted, and he asked loudly.

Unfortunately, his question disappeared into the boundless darkness as Ling Yuan's hands fell.

When the light disappeared, Ling Yuan and Asuna reappeared in the room of the maze.

"You're... you're back?"

Asuna stared blankly at the wide-open door behind her.

"Congratulations to player Asuna for soloing the 40th floor of the Nolfrat Floor BOSS Warden Bracken!"

The system's voice rang out in Ainground.

In an instant, the entire Ainground fell silent.

The members of the Knights of the Blood Oath, as well as their leader Kayaba Akihiko, were completely bewildered.

"Captain Asuna... you cleared the game?" Yuna listened to the echoing voice in the sky with a shocked expression.

On the other side

"Huh, huh?"

Asuna's mind went blank, and her brain seemed to freeze.

As Brakken disappeared, a white dot of light flew into Ling Yuan's hand.

The system promptly absorbed it.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained a World Fragment and unlocked the achievement: a Gem of Truth."

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Is this a pleasant surprise?

He reached out, and a blue gem fell into Ling Yuan's hand.

In an instant, information about the gemstone appeared before Ling Yuan.

"The Manifested Truth: Wearing it allows one to wield the power of the Herrscher of Reason; with sufficient energy, one can become the core. (Unable to become Herrscher)"

Note: A certain amount of prior knowledge is required.

"..."

Looking at the core description, Ling Yuan silently put it away.

It seems he also needs to catch up on lessons with Kiana.

Chapter 147 Ling Yuan: The World Has Been Created

"Achoo!"

World Serpent

Kiana, who was engrossed in her studies, suddenly sneezed loudly.

The next second, Kiana was stunned, a flash of fire passed by the tip of her hair.

"!"

Kiana's heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.

Not far away, Kevin, leaning against a bookshelf, held a book in one hand and calmly Heavenly Fire Judgment, "Don't get distracted, keep reading."

Kiana: "Waaah~"

The Kiana sheds tears.

She's having such a hard time.

Not only were they "sold" to the World Serpent by Anti-Entropy, but the food wasn't very good either; it was mostly noodles.

She misses Raiden Mei so much!

After putting away the Gem of Truth, Ling Yuan looked at the treasure chest that had been dropped by the boss he had defeated.

Asuna.

"Exist!"

"Let's open the treasure chest."

"Give it to me?" Asuna pointed at herself, somewhat surprised.

"Otherwise what? I don't need it." Ling Yuan shrugged.

"Thank you so much, Group Owner!"

At that moment, Asuna's affection for Ling Yuan increased dramatically, and she excitedly ran over after saying just one sentence.

Ling Yuan chuckled softly and walked outside.

Looking at the pleasant scenery outside, it's hard to imagine that this is a game world.

"Is it manifested?"

Ling Yuan couldn't help but have other thoughts. "Can I materialize my wife?"

That seems impossible, otherwise, given Otto's personality, he would have imprisoned Welt and forced him to show off Kallen's measurements, cough cough, body data.

"Dear Group Owner!"

At this moment, Asuna had already collected the items needed to clear the level and came over.

"Are you all done? Let's go back then," Ling Yuan said.

"This whole incident was clearly the Group Owner's doing, but I ended up getting all the benefits," Asuna said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright. Helping group members have the ability to protect themselves is my responsibility as the Group Owner, and helping them resolve crises is the purpose of creating this group chat."

"We may all come from different worlds, but it is a very precious fate that we can come together. Asuna, I am a very sentimental person."

Asuna stared blankly at Ling Yuan.

So this is what the Group Owner was thinking.

He was so despicable in the group chat...

Riding the black dragon once more, the two flew through the jungle towards the Knights of the Blood Oath's encampment.

When they arrived at the camp, it was already packed with people.

These were all adventurers who rushed over after hearing about Asuna's situation.

Only by experiencing it firsthand can you know how terrifying the boss of the 40th level is.

It's truly a dream come true that such a boss was killed by a girl who had only recently joined the Knights of the Blood Oath.

After throwing a certain Honko-na out, Ling Yuan went for a walk alone.

He doesn't really like crowded places.

And the scenery in this world is indeed quite beautiful.

Kayaba Akihiko designed a world that many people fantasize about, but when that world becomes a reality, it may not be so wonderful.

"Huh? That's..."

Suddenly, Ling Yuan stopped and looked at a man and a woman not far away.

Memories surfaced in my mind.

"I remember she was..."

The girl looked increasingly familiar, so Ling Yuan couldn't help but walk over.

"Um?"

Meanwhile, Yuna and Nodillas, who were strolling along the path, also noticed Ling Yuan approaching.

"Sir, who are you?" Yuna asked curiously.

"Well, I guess you could say I was saved by your singing," Ling Yuan said with a smile.

If he remembered correctly, Yuna was supposed to use her songs to encourage those who were feeling lost.

He heard the other person's song when he watched the movie, so there seems to be nothing wrong with that.

"Um, I'm sorry, I really can't remember," Yuna said apologetically.

"It's alright. As someone who was 'helped by you before,' I'll lend a hand too." Ling Yuan didn't mind; he had just made that up anyway.

He looked at Nodillas beside him.

"?" Nodillas looked puzzled.

"Get stronger, young man. Don't wait until the woman you love dies in front of you to regret it."

After saying that, Ling Yuan snapped his fingers crisply into the void.

Ten points will be deducted.

In an instant, Nodillas felt his mind clear and his body become relaxed.

FNC Syndrome: This occurs when the connection between the brain and neural pathways malfunctions during stealth, preventing the character from fully immersing themselves in the game.

In the original story, it was precisely because of this symptom that Nodillas could only watch helplessly as Yuna died in front of him.

Now, probably not.

After finishing, Ling Yuan left; for him, it was just a minor incident.

"What is this person here for?"

Watching Ling Yuan's retreating figure, Nodillas looked at Yuna beside him and asked curiously.

Yuna shook her head. "Well, who knows?"

"Friend, can we talk?"

A sudden sound rang out in the alley next to Ling Yuan.

A man dressed in bright red knight's armor slowly walked out.

"Kayaba Akihiko?" Ling Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Heathcliff paused, then smiled. "Ha, what are you talking about? How could I possibly be that kind of demon?"
