The World Turns into a Game; the Predator of Myriad Heavens

As Little Dragon Maiden sensed the sorrow of Heaven's will, the entire world was undergoing tremendous changes.

The sound of the Heavenly Way resounded throughout heaven and earth, and all things in the world seemed like a movie scene that had been paused.

The bird's wings, which should have been flapping rapidly, had long since stopped, yet it still miraculously floated in mid-air. The fish leaped out of the water, but did not fall back in; instead, it floated quietly in mid-air, the huge splashes of water it created resembling the most exquisite sculptures in the world.

At this moment, the world is like a movie that has been paused, and everything has fallen into an eerie state of stillness.

Except for Little Dragon Maiden!

Little Dragon Maiden sensed the strangeness in the world and frowned as she put down the book in her hand. But when she put the book back in its place, she found that it had not fallen onto the bookshelf, but was placed where she had let go, quietly floating in mid-air.

This!

Upon seeing such a bizarre scene, Little Dragon Maiden's pupils constricted to a single point, her heart filled with horror.

Is time frozen, or space frozen?

"World digitization complete. Initiating game plugin installation."

Datafication, game plugins!

When Little Dragon Maiden heard the voice from the heavens, she was somewhat bewildered and unable to react.

She's not the Little Dragon Maiden she used to be; how could she not know what datafication and game plugins meant? Little Dragon Maiden just never imagined she'd encounter such mysterious things in reality.

etc.

World data digitization complete, install game plugin!

Little Dragon Maiden parted her cherry lips slightly, her face full of astonishment.

Has this world turned into a game world?!

But how is that possible!?

Chat Group.

Omniscient Li: "@Qiao Feng, @Little Dragon Maiden, how are you doing now?"

Qiao Feng: "I don't know what happened either. I just found that everything around me seemed to have stopped. Even the rushing river and waterfall were frozen in place. It's unbelievable, unbelievable!"

As Qiao Feng spoke, he became somewhat incoherent.

Clearly, the changes in Jin Yong Great World were far too stimulating for this newcomer who had only recently joined the Chat Group.

Little Dragon Maiden: "I'm a little dizzy right now, things are complicated. If I heard correctly, the world we're in has turned into a game world, a game world in the conventional sense."

Omniscient Li: "

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "

Nine Heavens Holy Maiden Daji: "

Li Xunhuan: "

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "This... Little Dragon Maiden Girl, are you mistaken, or have we misheard? You're saying that the world you live in has become a game world?"

Angel Yan: "Also, what is meant by 'game world' in the conventional sense?"

Little Dragon Maiden: "I just summoned my personal information panel, not through the power of the Chat Group, but right here in reality."

Not only that, I can also see the personal information panels of Wang Yuyan, Madam Wang, and others, which contain brief introductions of them.

It's incredible. It's as if the world has been reshaped; everything has changed.

No, not everything has changed, but something has mysteriously appeared in this world. Like the personal information panel that shouldn't have been there, and other subtle things I can't quite explain."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

The whole world has changed!

They couldn't help but think of the notification from the Chat Group.

The laws of the world in which Little Dragon Maiden resides have been forcibly rewritten!

Tony Stark: "Forcibly rewriting the laws of heaven, thereby altering the fundamental rules of a world—what kind of monster have you encountered!?"

Little Dragon Maiden was innocent and helpless.

They themselves want to know, is it good or bad?

Omniscient Li: "@Little Dragon Maiden, did the Chat Group send you a task?"

Little Dragon Maiden: "No."

Everyone looked on in astonishment.

No?

Such a big thing, Chat Group hasn't reacted at all. Or is the Chat Group too busy to issue a task to Little Dragon Maiden?

Everyone was filled with doubt and a touch of unease.

The rewritten laws of Heaven suddenly transformed into the vast world of the game.

They didn't know what Little Dragon Maiden had encountered, or even what kind of monsters had plagued her world. But even a fool could understand that something capable of rewriting the fundamental laws of a world, or even forcibly turning a world into a game world, must be an extremely powerful monster.

Li Hao frowned deeply.

"Chat Group, what happened in the world where Little Dragon Maiden lives?"

"Some special, mysterious force has invaded the world where Little Dragon Maiden resides and successfully rewrote some of the laws of heaven."

However, this matter was not as serious as the group leader imagined. The so-called datafication and gamification did not actually touch the true fundamental laws; they only added some minor changes to the original basis.

The group owner could interpret this as someone creating a cheat for a certain life simulation game, but the essence of the game remains unchanged. Alternatively, it could be interpreted as someone distributing a system on a large scale, installing the corresponding cheat service on everyone.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it truly is the kind of being capable of rewriting the laws of the world at will, even he wouldn't dare say he could definitely deal with it.

Li Hao: "How long has this change lasted?"

"Based on the world where Little Dragon Maiden resides, this change has been ongoing for three days."

It lasted for three days!

Li Hao was completely stunned.

You're only reminding me now that this happened three days ago!?

Chat Group: "When the other party and Little Dragon Maiden's worlds create an information channel, the Chat Group is also creating a connection with the other party's world."

Based on estimates from the Chat Group, this change will not cause significant damage to Little Dragon Maiden's world and has not reached the level that would trigger the warning line.

Furthermore, the forced alteration of the Heavenly Laws of Little Dragon Maiden's world also greatly benefits the Chat Group. First, it increases the Chat Group's erosion of the Heavenly Laws of Little Dragon Maiden's world. Second, it allows them to obtain new world coordinates and find new targets.

Li Hao frowned.

There is no fundamental difference Heavens Chat Group and the Main God Space; it's just that the Chat Group's approach is relatively mild compared to the Main God Space's brutal plundering.

But essentially, both of them are predators!

Li Hao: "Regarding the changes to the Little Dragon Maiden's world, how long will it take to end, and what changes will it cause? Also, have the coordinates of the new world been determined?"

Chat Group: "The change is nearing completion, and Little Dragon Maiden's world is expected to return to normal within 24 hours. As for cracking the spatial coordinates of the other world, we have encountered many problems."

The opponent is clearly not a novice; they used multiple space jump platforms, including some extremely dangerous spacetime traps. Locating their exact coordinates across the vast void will take some time.

Li Hao was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Space jump platform, what does that mean?"

Chat Group: "The so-called space jump platform, simply put, is the world where the target is located as one, the linked world as two, and the connecting channel in between as zero."

Therefore, the other party does not directly use the connection channel zero to link the worlds of one and two, but rather uses numerous other small worlds, or fake connection channels, to conceal one, two, and zero, thereby avoiding revealing their own world coordinates and also hiding the target world.

Li Hao roughly understood the meaning of the Chat Group. He was amazed that so many talented people existed in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, and also curious. "If that's all there is to it, isn't it still very obvious?"

Chat Group: "No, things aren't as simple as the group owner imagines. The Heavens and Myriad Worlds contain billions of worlds, large and small, which seem to have no connection. But at special times and under special circumstances, subtle connections can form between different worlds."

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly.

A subtle connection has formed between the worlds; could this be the reason for the emergence of time travelers?

So, is this why I time-traveled?

Chat Group: "The other party is using this method, simulating the natural phenomenon of links between the Void World, or directly borrowing such subtle connections to conceal the specific coordinates of the two worlds and the connection channels."

But no matter how the other party tries to conceal it, the symbolic world of the other party (I), the target world of the other party (II), and the spatial channel (Zero) connecting the two always exist. Therefore, it only takes a certain amount of time to find the other party's specific coordinates through the complicated false channels."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao finally understood.

Isn't this similar to computer hacking?

They're playing on a bigger scale, using different worlds as stepping stones and as pawns.

Li Hao sighed inwardly, still somewhat wary.

The Heavens and Myriad Worlds are far more complex than I previously imagined, and even far more terrifying and dangerous than I could have imagined. Therefore, no matter what achievements I attain, I must never be careless.

Meanwhile, at the Azure Great World.

The Azure Great World is a technologically advanced interstellar world where humanity has long since ventured beyond planets and galaxies. Here, the most powerful nation is called Cang Lan, which boasts over 1,200 inhabited planets and its footprints are scattered throughout the vast cosmos.

Azure Star, the capital of the Azure Empire, the center of this world, and the most prosperous place in the universe.

The capital city, an ordinary neighborhood.

"A new dungeon is coming to the Great Thousand Worlds?" A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked at the message from the AI and his face lit up with surprise.

In this Great Thousand Worlds, Azure Great World is the most famous game company.

The most distinctive feature of this game company is its ability to bring elements from games into reality.

That's right, game characters, in-game powers, and items with special abilities can all be faithfully brought into reality. Of course, bringing special items and characters into reality requires paying a considerable sum of money.

"Let me see what kind of dungeon this time."

A holographic projection appeared out of thin air in front of the young man, displaying an introduction to the new instance.

The Beggar Clan, the Quanzhen Sect, the Wudang Sect, Qiao Feng, Li Qiushui!

When the young man saw the familiar yet unfamiliar name, his pupils constricted, his handsome face flushed with excitement, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

It was this!

Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber and Return of the Condor Heroes —this is a collection of Jin Yong Great World!

Haha, I, Mu Fengyun, have been in this interstellar world for twenty-three years, and I've finally acquired my own cheat code! Am I about to reach the pinnacle of life!?

Mu Fengyun smiled, but couldn't help crying.

Damn it, why are you only arriving now?!
