Shen Yuan's Parting Gift

The moment the oracle was issued, it brought a wave of joy to the players who had chosen to pray to Azathoth and worship the God of Chaos. They hadn't expected that Azathoth would actually respond to them. Moreover, it seemed that as long as they helped Azathoth, they would benefit. Not only would they gain experience and equipment, a powerful patron, rare titles and faction-exclusive achievements, but they would also have the opportunity to enter other cosmic dimensions. Wouldn't that mean they could enter new maps ahead of time?

For a game player, what better reward could there be?

Upon realizing the implications behind this, the players immediately became exceptionally enthusiastic.

At this moment, a message appeared in the world announcements that Big Water Cunt was recruiting players for the Church of Chaos, and immediately everyone started contacting Big Water Cunt.

Xiao Yu, of course, was not idle either. The Dark Portal was a two-way teleportation portal, and one needed to be built in the Chaos Domain as well. Although Medivh had told him how to build the Dark Portal, it would still require a lot of men to do the work. Not to mention that when he entered the Lost Continent to face the three native gods, including the Creator God, he would need a large army to fight for him.

So for the next period of time, he focused all his energy on conquering the Chaos Domain.

The Chaos Domain Realm is quite large, and it's a three-dimensional space teeming with countless bizarre elemental creatures.

Fortunately, this was not a difficult task for Xiao Yu. Although the elemental creatures in the Chaos Domain were extremely powerful, and to ordinary players they were either elite monsters or boss monsters, they were no match for the powerful God of Chaos. In addition, the elemental creatures were naturally restrained by his Power of Chaos, so they were basically easy to capture. They either surrendered to him or were converted into elemental power and absorbed by him.

In less than half a month, Xiao Yu had assembled a million-strong army composed of elemental creatures.

There are more than a dozen powerful elemental bosses at the quasi-god or demigod level, including the Greater Fireball- like creature that almost wiped out Medivh and his group.

Meanwhile, the construction of the Dark Portal proceeded very smoothly.

With Medivh's help, the Big Water Cunt successfully formed a massive organization with over 100,000 members and began constructing the Dark Portal in a snow-covered mountain range. This mountain range had few monsters and natural resources, and was sparsely populated, making it an ideal location for building a portal.

Meanwhile, the Dark Portal in the Chaos Domain was quickly constructed with the help of the elemental creatures enslaved by Xiao Yu.

Meanwhile, during the half-month that Xiao Yu was building the Dark Portal and assembling his army, the three native gods of the Lost Continent — the Creator God, the God of Eternity, and the God of Light— were also busy. They organized their followers to fight each other, waging a brutal war for their faith and the interests of their gods.

In these repeated battles, although their strengths were similar, the Creator God gradually gained some advantages. After all, the game "War of the Gods" was operated by Excellence Technology, and Forrest was the chairman of Excellence Technology. As the behind-the-scenes boss, Forrest gained many advantages. Judging from the current momentum, he seemed to be on the verge of victory, and his Power of Faith continued to rise.

However, despite victory being within his grasp, Forrest remained somewhat wary, not only of the God of Chaos. During this time, he had already placed spies within the Church of Chaos to monitor the movements of the Dark Portal. In fact, he could lead a large army to destroy the Dark Portal at any time, but he was unable to do so because he was engaged in battle with the other two gods.

However, once he obtained all the Power of Faith, defeating the God of Chaos would not be difficult in his view.

His wary target was Shen Yuan, because according to the previous agreement, Shen Yuan was also one of the players in this god-making game. However, from beginning to end, Shen Yuan had been unusually low-key, and had not even created his own god. He was just collecting information around the game or playing some other games under Excellence Technology, but there was little sign of him vying for faith. So far, he still did not understand what Shen Yuan's purpose was.

Of course, due to Shen Yuan's special status, he did not restrict Shen Yuan's actions. Because of Shen Yuan's liberal identity, his existence in Excellence Technology was also an arrangement used by other factions of the Moha Religion to restrain Forrest.

However, after half a month, seeing that Shen Yuan had no reaction, he gradually lowered his guard.

He was now close to defeating the God of Eternity and the God of Light, forcing them to unite. Even so, they were pushed to the brink of death. Once he achieved final victory, he could carry out the final god-making ceremony.

However, to his surprise, on the very day he was preparing to eliminate the God of Eternity and the God of Light in one fell swoop, Shen Yuan did not stay in the game, but instead came to the private prison in the Excellence Technology Building.

The heavy glass doors of the prison suddenly opened, and Shen Yuan walked in with his hands behind his back. As the glass doors closed behind him, he glanced around the interior of the cell.

Good evening, Naiser, it's been a long time.

Inside the prison, Naiser sat in the darkness of his cell, where the light did not reach, his face somber.

He was now 80-90% certain that he wasn't in a reality show at all. If it were, the outcome should have been decided long ago. He hadn't done anything for the past two weeks, just stayed in prison. In reality, there was nothing interesting about that.

Moreover, it seems a bit unreasonable for a reality show to last for nearly half a year. These details were gradually uncovered as he reflected in prison.

However, he still clung to a last glimmer of hope, because besides that glimmer, he had nothing left.

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's voice, Naiser suddenly emerged from the shadows. His eyes gleamed, displaying an unusual fervor and a strangely calm demeanor, a combination that seemed perfectly harmonious.

"Shen Yuan? It has indeed been a long time. So it's evening now? Heh, I've long since lost track of time."

Shen Yuan looked at Naiser with some pity, "By the way, what happened to you?"

Naiser shook his head with a wry smile. "What are you doing here? I've already said it before, I'm not the person I used to be. I want to be a good person."

"Alright, alright, give me a break. I know why you're behaving this way. You must have been fooled by Xiao Yu. I told you long ago, you can't outsmart him."

Upon hearing this name, even Naiser, who desperately wanted to continue acting, couldn't hold back any longer. "Why do you say that?"

"Xiao Yu is a true player. He may not be as good as you, but he knows when to bet and when to stop."

You are always too eager to win, and you always place too much importance on your ultimate goal. As a result, you often easily give up things that cannot bring you victory, and it is often these things that cause you to fail at the last hurdle.

Do you think Xiao Yu is just being immature? Quite the opposite. His immaturity is just a facade he uses to hide his true self. He knows when to be immature and when to be realistic. As for you, perhaps you won't admit it, but I have to say, you take yourself too seriously. Reality isn't a movie, and you're not the protagonist. Why can't you understand this?

Naiser gave a wry smile. "Did you come here just to mock me?"

Shen Yuan chuckled. "Of course not. Let's not talk about him. I came here to tell you something. I've decided to leave and never come back."

"Leave? Where to?" Naiser asked with a hint of curiosity.

"To a very, very far place," Shen Yuan said meaningfully, his expression deep and somber.

Naiser sneered, "So you've come to say goodbye?"

Shen Yuan shook his head. "Of course not. I was planning to help you before I leave. Don't say I haven't taken care of you. As an old friend, I have a parting gift for you."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan magically pulled a gaming helmet from his pocket and tossed it to Naiser.

The helmet was very small, only half the size of a normal helmet, but it was indeed a gaming helmet. "This is!?" Naiser hugged the gaming helmet tightly, as if he were holding a precious treasure. It had been too long since he had played a game, too long since he had entered the virtual world, and too long since he had enjoyed the wonderful experience of that unrestrained world.

But the joy quickly vanished. "But they'll take it away; they won't let me keep it," Naiser said hesitantly. Logically, Shen Yuan couldn't possibly have been unaware of this.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "Hehe, then you'd better hurry up." After saying that Shen Yuan turned and left.

Naiser stared blankly at Shen Yuan's departing figure. There seemed to be something hidden in Shen Yuan's words. He couldn't wait to put the helmet on his head.
