Because the second tournament is coming soon, in order to arouse the enthusiasm of players, the official announced new news three days in advance, and will open the event dungeon ———— [River of the Past] that lasts for fifteen days at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

Because the upper limit of the number of people entering the same team is 4, the sea only pulled me, Xiao Wang and Lao Bai, which can be regarded as the strongest team within a limited number of people.

River of the Past: Event Dungeon

Quest Level: 80-100

Copy introduction: The long river of time is reincarnated, the vicissitudes of time are turbulent, the former Tianjiao reappears, which is stronger and weaker in the past and present?

Quest Restrictions: Each player is only allowed to enter once, and death in the quest is considered to be an exit.

The quest can be entered through any of the waypoints, so we waited to teleport in the station, and the other brothers formed their own teams to test and split up.

At three o'clock sharp, the waypoint turned on the dungeon access permission, and we stepped into the dungeon in the shortest amount of time.

After clicking in, there is no sight, and then there is a blur of light and shadow, and the flying light of the road passes by us, as if we are passing through some kind of time and space tunnel.

After a few seconds, the light faded and we had made it to the point where we landed on a town's teleport.

The scenery outside is particularly quaint, but it is not as lively as the original town, except that a pergola-like stall has been built on the street more than ten meters apart, and behind the stall is an expressionless NPC.

"? This is......!! Lao Bai looked at the scene around him and suddenly exclaimed, turned his head with a happy face: "Brother Hai! Xiao Wang! Are you still impressed? This is [Jinguang Town] during the closed beta! ”

Not only the sea, but Xiao Wang also nodded and responded: "Yes!" At that time, we also came to [Jinguang Town] to join in the excitement and fight the boss outside the town. ”

After listening to their explanations, I understood the purpose of this copy, which must be to recreate the scene from the closed beta period.

The sea walked down the teleportation point and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of the east: "This copy should be the world of another dimension, to put it in layman's terms, let us go back to the past, then the various bosses here should still be there, or let's go and see the [Demon Retreat Mountain] outside the town first, I remember that there is a big water demon there!" ”

I haven't participated in the closed beta, so I'm completely at a loss here, but I don't have to worry about these three old fritters leading the way; The sea is very happy to return to his familiar place, just like seeing a childhood toy, and along the way, he and Xiao Wang and Lao Bai recalled the past one by one.

There are gradually more players around me, many of whom are from the beta test, who are familiar with finding NPCs to buy things and take on tasks, and there are also stunned young people who are new to the world like me, and they don't know anything about wandering around.

"Brother Hai, is the street so deserted during the internal test?" I didn't see a few NPCs all the way around, and almost all of them were in fixed locations.

"Of course, the closed beta is mainly for collecting data, adjusting the balance, and finding the game's vulnerabilities, and the game after the open beta is simply another living world, and that kind of richness is something that we veteran players can't imagine."

As we said this, we quickly rushed to the place where the sea remembered, the big water demon was indeed still there, and it was also an 85-level Lingyu-level boss, but dozens of players had already begun to hunt around, and there was no part of our interference at all.

However, we just came to take a look at the wish of the sea, after all, there are only four people, and if they are eliminated directly if they hang up, it will be worth the loss.

After seeing it, we had no reason to stay, so we followed Lao Bai's impression and walked to another very hidden boss: "There is a teleportation point outside this town, and there is an ancient well not far to the east of the teleportation point, which is very inconspicuous because it is blocked by weeds, and I also accidentally fell into it at that time, only to find that there is a boss inside." ”

I accidentally fell into a mysterious place, and then defeated a boss that others didn't know about.

You still dare to say that you are not the protagonist of the novel???

"Where did that waypoint go?" I asked curiously.

Xiao Wang smiled and replied to me, "That's the teleportation point to enter the [Red Flame Dragon] dungeon. ”

"[Red Flame Dragon] Copy ......" chanting this extremely familiar name, I pondered for a long time, and finally the center of gravity suddenly became clear: "Oh oh oh!! I remember!! It's the difficult copy that Clown Emperor single-brushed during the closed beta, right!? I downloaded and saved that video at the time! So handsome!! ”

"Who says it's not, the Clown Emperor was a famous marionette at that time, and he had already had a lot of feats of single-brush copies, but it was the [Red Flame Dragon] copy that became famous overnight."

These words are not the Clown Emperor before we dare to talk, if he hears that we remember his past so vividly, it is estimated that he can turn his face with us on the spot.

After all, it was a past he didn't want to think about.

Lao Bai's memory is still good, we did not take the wrong road in vain, and found the clump of dry grass very smoothly, and after opening it, it was the ancient well full of cobwebs.

As soon as I looked at the ancient well, I heard a whimpering howl inside, and Lao Bai grinned: "That's right, the boss is still there, and my first flood-level equipment at that time exploded with it!" ”

After that, Lao Bai was about to go in with his legs directly, but cautiously, I grabbed his arm and asked, "You think clearly!" This copy can't die, don't take a few of us down to die! ”

However, Lao Bai didn't care about my worries, and waved his hand with a nonchalant face: "Don't worry, I brushed it all by myself at the time, and now so many people are even more simple to sprinkle water, I understand the mechanism, go down and watch me command, it's over!" ”

The fact is indeed the same as Lao Bai said, although the BOSS is not as easy to fight as imagined, but also because of the mechanism limitations, there can be enough output, when Lao Bai brushed here, it was already level 95, which was already outstanding at the time, but it was still a big difference compared to me now.

But I was an accident, in the words of the sea: "During the closed beta, level 100 may not have your current attributes, and a player's attack is higher than Nima's boss, just like a ghost!" ”

The next time is to follow the sea and they run around, these people are not in a hurry, they completely regard this copy as a nostalgic trip, and go to see where they remember, fight if they can beat it, run if they can't beat it, anyway, they keep the principle of immortality everywhere.

However, the gradual familiarity gave me new ideas.

"Brother Hai," I called out to them, who couldn't get over the excitement, and slowly said my thoughts: "I want to find a few places to see, I need your help." ”

……

"Well, Brother Ying's idea is really good, and I'm also curious about what will happen when I go there again." Luo Qian Han looked at the ghost in front of him and happily agreed to his request.

A few people came to the town of the Ghost Realm, and the name of the town in the inner period was exactly the same as during the Open Beta, which saved them the trouble of searching.

The ghost stood in front of the statue and looked up, as if preparing.

After a while, he stretched out his hand and touched the statue, and a strange feeling slowly rose in his palm, and then his right hand suddenly fell into the statue, and then his arms and body were slowly eaten and pulled by the statue.

But the ghost did not panic, but remained calm, slowly moving forward with the speed that consumed him, until he was completely submerged in it.

In the distance, other players saw this scene and approached with curiosity and pursuit of treasures.

Kurame and another of the guards who followed drew their weapons and prepared for defense; Luo Qian Han also drew his longbow and aimed at the players around him who began to gather, and said with a smile: "Everyone, there is only one life in the dungeon, I hope you don't cause unnecessary trouble to yourself." ”

The ghost stepped into the dark nothingness that he had seen once, listening to the words of the past that were still in his ears, no sorrow or joy, just quietly waiting.

He was also curious about what it would be like if he saw the Demon Venerable in the past at this moment.

"Hehe...... it's really good..."

The voice of the Demon Venerable was still powerful, but the words he spoke were different from those of that time.

Before the ghost could speak, the demon venerable had already transformed into a body from nothingness, he floated in mid-air and meditated, looked at the ghost in front of him, nodded and said: "I have deduced the order of heaven and earth in the past, and I have also felt a breath of time from it, I failed to have an epiphany at that time, but now it seems that ...... Indeed, it is true. ”

"How so?" The ghost asked indifferently.

"Because you carry my power, without the purple gold rune to break the seal, it is impossible for others to enter the enchantment; If you're not mistaken, you're here for years. ”

The ghost didn't speak, just nodded indifferently.

The Demon Venerable was no longer cross-legged, but slowly settled in the void, came slowly, and asked softly: "Since I gave you the power at that time, it means that you have a reason why I am worthy of doing this, and since you have gained the strength, why did you come here?" ”

The ghost figure looked directly at the Demon Venerable, but the majesty could not make him retreat half a step at the moment.

"I'd like to try it once."

"Try what?"

"Get you out."

The abrupt intention made this piece of nothingness a little inexplicably silent, and the demon venerable raised his head and smiled: "It is easy to know the sky, but it is difficult to go against the sky, and my life has only one thought from the moment of birth." ”

"Which thought?"

The Demon Venerable looked back at the star-like nothingness, his eyes were sonorous, but he was a little reluctant.

"If I become honored, the world will perish; If I perish, the world will endure. ”

"Why?" The ghost asked, puzzled.

"Huh...... For my preaching is killing. The demon venerable looked back at him, and his eyes became extremely sharp: "My life is beyond the order, and it is a mistake that should be crushed by the years; I am not dead, but the laws of this world do not accept me, because the world follows the rules, and I have no rules, my rules are only the ...... of killing, but I am not willing to waste this life, so I walk alone, implement the rules of killing, exchange blood and bones for my transcendence, and achieve my ascension with the rupture of the soul, on the eve of my godhood, my hands and a sword have been slaughtered all over the vast land, and the stronger I am, the more clear my path is. ”

"How?" The ghost was urging anxiously.

"If there is less soul in the world, I will be stronger; If there are millions of living beings in the world, I will prosper the world...... My final path is that there will be no more living beings in the world, and only ashes will be left in the heavens and the earth. ”

As the Demon Venerable said, the ghost shadow knew in his heart that he was the opposite of this world, and the more the world withered, the stronger he became.

"So, the Heavenly Dragon King will lead the heavens and the earth to exterminate you?"

The demon venerable nodded: "I also know my situation, the order of this heaven and earth will not allow me to become a god all the way, that battle is inevitable, it is nothing more than the difference between destroying the world and saving the world." ”

After hearing this, the ghost just shook his head and sighed softly: "It's a pity......"

"There is no pity, this is fate, and it is also the end that I have been destined since I was born."

Demon Venerable's answer made the ghost shadow a little surprised, because he didn't have this attitude when he first saw Demon Venerable, he was so unwilling to admit defeat, and he was definitely not the person in front of him who accepted his fate.

"No, you're not a demon venerable." The ghost shadow said coldly, then took a step back and drew his long sword and pointed at the Demon Venerable.

The demon venerable stood on his armrest, just looking at the ghost indifferently: "Of course I am not the demon venerable." ”

"Who are you!?" The ghost asked sharply, pushing the tip of the sword straight to the face of the demon venerable, and the sharp blade stopped at the center of the demon venerable's eyebrows.

But the demon venerable still didn't react, just pointed to the ghost, and then pointed to his heart: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is ......, who you are." ”

After that, the figure of the demon venerable suddenly drifted into countless fragments, turning into butterfly wings and flying towards the boundless nothingness, and only the ethereal echo was left around the curling around.

"I, that's you."

The ghost stood stunned, frozen.

He recalled that the demon venerable in the past was so high-spirited, but now there was only calm and stability left.

The ghost shadow is not lamenting the demon venerable, but afraid.

Because the former self is so similar to the demon venerable who first saw him, they are both people who have fallen from the top to the bottom, and they all want to make a comeback with enthusiasm.

But now I am not the appearance of the demon venerable? After the death of the ninth master, he gradually faded away from his killing intent, and gradually lost his former anger, and now he looks back at himself at the beginning, looking at each other across time and space, at that time he was ruthless and fierce in his eyes, and now he only has turbid indecision in his eyes.

The way he walks is the way of "killing", and there is no place for him in this world; The Ninth Master is the protector of the Tao who can ignore the order of the world all the way.

And when the ninth master went west, it was the day when the "Tao" of his faith collapsed.

However, he did not regret it.

As the Demon Venerable said, the way of killing must eventually perish, and he abandoned the original path in order to seek greater survival.

A survival that allows you to fit into the rules of the world in which you live.

"Whoa......

A meteor flashed through the void, and the ghost took it in his hand.

Thousands of miles away, he easily controlled it in the palm of his hand.

The meteor slowly dissolved in his hand, flowing towards both ends, and finally gradually turned into a colorful long sword, which was the sword held by the Demon Venerable in the original battle heaven and earth.

The ghost gripped the hilt of his sword, and he felt that he was in control of endless power.

In the empty void, two dazzling cold lights suddenly flashed.

One, from the Rainbow Sword.

The other, from the ghost's calm eyes.

"I'm the Demon Venerable."
