Medivh Again

Half an hour later, Xiao Yu was taken by Old Li to the headquarters of the National Guard Bureau.

The National Guard Bureau was bustling with people, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.

Xiao Yu was taken directly to the network center, where a row of gaming pods were already occupied by many people.

"These people are all technical personnel from our National Guard Bureau. In order to monitor the movements of the Moha Religion, we have also deployed a considerable number of people during the War of the Gods, including mages who can use Astral Plane Communication."

"I see," Xiao Yu nodded.

While Old Li was searching for someone, Xiao Yu also started browsing the recent events of the War of the Gods on his computer.

In the nearly six-month-long war, the gods fell one after another, and the Goddess of Magic was not spared either. She was eventually defeated by the newly risen God of Eternity, and her divine domain and office were naturally taken over by the God of Eternity.

Therefore, the magic temple has now become the territory of the God of Eternity.

Fortunately, the National Guard Bureau has a large number of gaming experts at its disposal, and the one standing in front of Xiao Yu at this moment is one of them.

Before me stood an unremarkable-looking young man, around twenty years old, wearing decorative glasses and appearing quite refined.

"Are you able to Astral Plane Communication?"

The young man nodded. "Of course, I'm a level 15 Archmage, a level 4 Astral Plane Mage, and I'm about to enter the Legendary realm. I can not only use Astral Plane Communication, but also Astral Plane Descent."

Summoning Astral Plane beings is a level 5 spell, Astral Plane Communication is a level 7 spell, and Astral Plane Descent is a level 9 spell.

Astral Plane Descent can bring a small piece of Astral Plane Descent directly into the world, and all the Astral Plane creatures in that area will appear in the real world. It can be said to be an exceptionally powerful magic.

Upon hearing the man's explanation, Xiao Yu was also surprised, not expecting that there were such capable people nowadays.

A level 19 mage is about to enter the Legendary realm. You should know that the later the level, the slower the leveling up becomes, but the increase in strength after leveling up is also more obvious. If you were to fight this person with your original character, you would probably be instantly killed.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. I've been away from the game for four or five months. In that long, the players' skill levels must have improved dramatically. They're not the same as before. I used to be a top player in the game, but now if I log back in, it probably won't be of much use.

"Alright, let's get started then," Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yu lay down in the gaming pod and logged into the game.

He logged back into his character and soon found himself in the Burying Ground. However, the Burying Ground looked a little different. He glanced around and couldn't see a single Undead.

He then remembered that the Naraku, God of Death, had also been killed in the War of the Gods, and this place was currently the territory of the God of Eternity.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. His email system was overflowing with messages, all sent to him by members of the guild.

Upon opening it, I discovered that I was no longer the guild leader of the Underworld Dynasty Guild.

He opened his friends list and glanced at it. Fortunately, quite a few of his friends were still online.

"Thank goodness, boss, you're finally online! Where have you been for the past six months?"

Big Water Cunt up, I couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I just ran into some trouble and got delayed."

"Wow, half a year has passed in a flash! Boss, you're really good at delaying things. These past six months have been quite eventful. By the way, do you want me to give you a rundown of what's going on?"

Xiao Yu replied, "I'm busy right now, you can play by yourself for now."

I checked and replied to all the emails, and just as I figured things out, a friend request appeared in my friend list.

System notification: Fashen Wushuang is adding you as a friend. Do you accept? Yes/No.

Xiao Yu naturally chose yes; this Fashen Wushuang was the same bespectacled boy from before.

The Fashen Wushuang is using a remote summoning attack on you. Do you wish to accept the summon?

Xiao Yu accepted the summons, and the next second, Xiao Yu appeared in a temple.

"This used to be the magic temple, but now it's become the temple of the God of Eternity. Luckily, the observatory is still there. Follow me." As he spoke, the Fashen Wushuang, led Xiao Yu upwards.

Soon, the two arrived at the star-gazing platform.

"What's the name of the person you're looking for?"

"Medivh."

"Medivh? Medivh from the Sky World?" the Fashen Wushuang asked in surprise, but immediately waved his hand, "Don't bother explaining to me, I'll get to work right away. As long as the name is right, there's no problem."

Fashen Wushuang spoke, he began to cast a spell.

Suddenly, the starry sky above the dome emitted a blue light, and the starlight formed a series of images that were reflected in the eyes of the two. These were images of the Astral Plane, with all sorts of Astral Plane creatures appearing and disappearing in Xiao Yu's eyes. Suddenly, a crow appeared in Xiao Yu's sight.

"It's him!" Xiao Yu said without hesitation.

"Understood," said the Fashen Wushuang, and suddenly used Astral Plane Descent. In an instant, starlight descended from the sky as if it were tangible, and projections of Astral Plane creatures appeared before Xiao Yu's eyes, gradually becoming real. At this moment, the Astral Plane and reality overlapped, and the giant raven also appeared beside Xiao Yu.

The crow, over a meter tall, stretched its wings forcefully, then flapped them, transforming into a human figure—none other than Medivh.

"You're finally back." Medivh looked at Xiao Yu and said calmly.

"I can't believe you actually survived! Long time no see, you look pretty good. What happened?"

"That's a long story," Medivh said with a sigh.

It turns out that after Xiao Yu left the game, Medivh became the last and only god in the Sky World. At that time, he understood that the game company would eventually format the game.

Therefore, he immediately began preparing a backup plan for himself.

As a god, he possessed immense divine power, and coupled with his prior extensive magical knowledge, protecting himself was not a problem.

Most importantly, since regaining his memories, he has developed his own judgments on things that he couldn't understand when he was still an NPC.

This includes the Astral Plane.

The so-called Astral Plane is not as simple as the official description suggests; in fact, the Astral Plane is a general term for the cyber world.

As we all know, the Astral Plane is made up of countless worlds, which are actually worlds composed of individual quantum computers.

However, these worlds are separated by invisible barriers. When he was still an NPC, he naturally did not understand what these barriers were and thought that he was unable to cross them because his magic power was insufficient.

However, after regaining his memories, he realized that these barriers were actually Wall of Fire between the various quantum computers.

The so-called Astral Plane is actually a projection of the entire network world.

Each star system represents a quantum computer, but Medivh cannot reach all of them; he can only travel between the quantum computers within the Sky Group.

Even so, the worlds that Astral Plane mages can travel to are numerous.

After Sky Group was acquired by Excellence Technology, Medivh suddenly found that he could travel to more worlds.

At that moment, he realized that the quantum computer had a new owner.

Using his powerful magic and divine authority, he banished himself to the Astral Plane, so that when the world was destroyed, although his body perished, his soul was preserved in the Astral Plane Plane.

He then remained in the Astral Plane. Through these barriers, he could see what was happening in various worlds, but he could not interfere. He could only project a tiny fraction of his power into these worlds using his projection ability.

He hadn't used this ability much because it consumed a lot of his energy.

Until he discovered Earth Online 2.0, when he first saw this world, Medivh thought he was seeing a ghost, and even wondered if the real world was also a virtual world.

But he soon discovered some clues and figured out the purpose of Earth Online 2.0.

Later, when he discovered Xiao Yu, he tried to use his projection ability to help Xiao Yu escape from Earth Online 2.0.

At this point, Xiao Yu thanked Medivh very sincerely.

However, Medivh waved his hand, "It's nothing. You saved my life back then, and now I've saved yours. We're even."

Xiao Yu nodded. "By the way, I saw Kairoz and the others earlier. Besides you, were there any other survivors?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to say," Medivh said in a deep voice, and began to continue his story.

"After you left, your physical body remained. I banished your body to the Elemental Plane to preserve it."

Xiao Yu was immediately taken aback. "My body? You mean Azathoth? Didn't Azathoth perish?"

Medivh shook his head. "It wasn't destroyed. I guess it's because Azathoth is made of Chaos Elemental, and Chaos Elemental are the basic elements that make up the quantum computer world. In other words, when the quantum computer was formatted, the entire world was broken down into Chaos Elemental. Since Azathoth was already Chaos Elemental, it wasn't affected. In fact, it became stronger by absorbing the surrounding Chaos Elemental."

Xiao Yu thought to himself that this was acceptable.

"And most importantly, if I'm not mistaken, you can control Azathoth?"

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because this game uses brainwave authentication, and all brainwave games use brainwave authentication, if you find Azathoth again, the brainwave system will likely grant you the ability to control Azathoth."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was overjoyed. If he possessed the power of Azathoth, he would be far more powerful than ordinary people.

At that moment, Medivh suddenly said, "Besides that, there's one more thing that survived."

Xiao Yu's mind raced, and he immediately knew who it was.

"Overlord?"

"That's right." Medivh nodded solemnly.

The Overlord was created from the power extracted from the four Old Gods; it is a more primordial existence than the Chaos Elemental. It also survived the formatting process.

Moreover, unlike Azathoth, which lost its ideology due to the lack of Xiao Yu's control, the Overlord possesses autonomous consciousness.

"I've been monitoring the Overlord, but recently I discovered that Overlord has left the space where it was banished and entered the Astral Plane Plane. I've been tracking it, but I haven't been able to find its location."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "If that's the case, then things will be much easier. The next step is just to get Azathoth's access and then cause a huge uproar."
