Chen Lun carefully examined the marks on the broken stone tablet, stretched out his index finger and gently stroked it to identify it.

“…… In the 13,325th year of the Fourth Age, the old man Bancroteff used his divine power to calculate the Starry Sky God Cult to disintegrate the Yanita Kingdom from within, causing it to have civil strife, killing and chaos flooding the continent for hundreds of thousands of years, a sea of corpses and blood, a bleak one, and finally the human civilization fell apart...... The hard-won unity collapsed in an instant, and the Yanita royal family split into three families, Trisur, Matthew, and Silber......"

Chen Lun silently recited the handwriting recorded on the stone tablet, and at the same time secretly frightened.

Although he knew that the only kingdom of mankind at that time, "Yanita", would eventually split, he did not expect that it was the old man who buried the bones of the god of death who was behind the scenes.

Chen Lun didn't know the purpose of the old man who buried the bones in this, and he didn't know what happened at that time, but even from this understatement alone, he could also imagine what a terrible era it was.

“…… In the 15,623rd year of the Fourth Age, there were so few believers in the bones of the old man that he lacked the anchor of faith and reason, and for a long time, due to the profligacy of the power of mythology, he finally lost his humanity and completely became a mythical creature...... No one knows the ultimate goal of the old man, and no one can predict whether the consequences of this move will be good or bad...... But he angered the Lord of Fate, and on June 15 of the following year, people realized a truth, that is, death, and death, too, has an end. ”

Chen Lun stared at the broken stone tablet quietly, and the cold scratches actually gave him a burning illusion. After slowing down, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

'Huangong...... Kill God alone?! ’

Originally, he didn't know much about the god at the end of his path, but judging from all his words, Huan Gong definitely belonged to the strongest true god.

At the same time, the stele also mentioned the two worlds of "Netherworld" and "Star Boundary", Chen Lun had never heard of it, he secretly wrote it down, and then continued to read along the handwriting:

“…… Judging from the past history, I personally believe that all the actions of the old man will eventually lead to a monstrous disaster for the world, and even destruction, Huan Gong shot to kill it, is a move to save the world, I will commemorate the great cause of Huan Gong engraved this monument - the history writer, the year inscriber, the great cause witness, Sid Mitchell. ”

It turned out that this was a stone tablet specially used to record the great deeds of the Ring Gong...... No wonder it's called 'Monument of Destiny'. ’

Chen Lun suddenly realized.

'The name of the stele's carver was Sidmichel......

He looked at the signature at the end and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He saw the familiar name again.

At the beginning of the Simon Family Museum in Peacock City, I had obtained a manuscript of Sid's travels, which recorded some travel experiences, including pen and ink about the land of Saint-E.

Sid also hopes that he will be able to live out his old age in that small town in the future.

Did this man really witness that ancient and hidden history? If so...... He was most likely an angel of the Earth faction, otherwise how could he have lived that long. ’

Chen Lun remembered the accident last time because of the turbulence in the spiritual world, and took the investigation team to the hometown of Saint-E, where he encountered a small episode.

'There seems to be a man of high rank hidden in the land of Saint-Ae, and now it seems that it is really possible that it is the ancestor of the Mitchell family, Sid......

At that time, the little white snake he stayed there to observe was "kidnapped" by that strange high-ranking person, and Chen Lun didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

'Writer of history, inscriber of time, witness of great cause...... This is indeed like a three-stage honorific name, and most of the power is not low. ’

Chen Lun became more and more affirmative.

At the same time, he also saw from the handwriting on the monument of fate that this "Sid" seemed to have an inexplicable reverence for Huangong......

Suppose it is as I assumed...... So an angel of the earth faction is the 'little fan brother' of the true god of fate? Also carved a monument for it as a commemoration? ’

Chen Lun complained twice, his expression was a little strange.

Because it was less than ten days before the end of the version 2.0 update, Chen Lun did not run around in the next period of time, he waited for the players to go online while preparing for the Western War.

Based on his vague impressions of his past life, he recorded many key events in the course of the war in the west and memorized them repeatedly.

This is also to help him be able to profit from it when the time comes.

'After all, there are two gaps in experience and popularity that need to be filled......

Chen Lun thought to himself.

At the same time, he also invested nearly 100,000 gold pounds to purchase various extraordinary materials from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce for team members to develop and forge.

After Floy was promoted to [Sequence 6 - Night Watcher], she became more proficient in using [Back Sun Bonsai], and she became more and more proficient in using "Moon Craftsman" to forge tricks.

She has now been able to forge a [C-level trickery], although the probability of producing the best is still as low as ever, but the quality is there, and most of the "defective chicken ribs" have been taken by Chen Lun to the jury building for low-level meritorious service.

Instead of selling it to players in a blind box, he now needs more experience points.

In the inventory of the Jury Building, there are a large number of low-level mystery books, which can provide Chen Lun with a lot of experience points, after all, he also has the blessing of "Knowledge Collector LV2", and he can obtain more experience points through reading.

Maggie's research and development of the "low-profile version of the True Vision Potion" is in an orderly manner, and under Chen Lun's golden pound offensive, she has what she wants, and she has everything she needs in terms of hardware facilities...... Fortunately, she did not disappoint Chen Lun, there was new progress in just a few days, and she even told him that in the next month, she would definitely be able to deploy samples.

As for Connie's side, Chen Lun didn't make too many requests, just asked her to continue forging the original model of weapons and equipment...... Once the Western War officially begins, the player's demand for weapons and equipment is huge, and they can make a lot of money at that time.

The circus cadres are like delicate gears, with the generous church area as the axis, and they are running at a rapid pace.

Of course, this does not include Alex, the "idler", and Antonio, the "free cow", who eats, drinks and has fun, and both basks in the square of the church district.

Maggie has protested loudly more than once, saying that Alex is not even as useful as the little hedgehog ding...... However, under normal circumstances, it will attract Alex's anger and rebuttal, and then the two sides will start a confrontation like a shrew scolding the street.

At this time, the Golov trio and the Black Cat team would tacitly move chairs and watch quietly.

Chen Lun is just a fan of this, and sometimes he sighs to Floy that the team atmosphere is really good.

Time turned, and it came to May 11, 4420 in the solar calendar.

"Mysterious Times" is about to usher in version 2.0 iteration.

In reality.

Azure Federation.

Splendid City.

In a corner of the North District Market, a plainly dressed young man is haggling with the stall proprietor.

"Auntie, can your bud be cheaper? 1200 credits is too expensive, or 500? ”

“500？！ You think it's the 'tech green' of the Doug Consortium! This is what the old lady planted in her own vegetable garden day and night! Do you know how much natural water and natural light are in one scale right now? This is a splendid city, not a mountain and a fourth-rate village, at this price, you can only give you two rotten leaves when you go to other houses, be content! ”

The proprietress who looked to be in her forties had long pink hair, silver lip gloss and an electronic cigarette in the corner of her mouth, and she scolded mercilessly.

"And who do you call Auntie?! No politeness! Can't you see I'm in my early sixteen?! Lose that star! ”

After that, the proprietress took out her personal terminal again and began to watch short videos.

"Everyone, pay attention, this man's name is Xiaoshuai......"

On the screen of the personal terminal, a screen from Mysterious Age is displayed, and a player is exploring the fairyland nature forest, and is on an adventure with a realistic and highly emotional AI narration.

Polaris saw that the proprietress looked with relish, but he shook his head helplessly.

He took advantage of the 2.0 version update for a few days, and has moved to the bustling city of the Federation with his grandmother, even though he has made a lot of money in the game, but the thrifty habit since he was a child makes him get up early every day to buy vegetables, and then go home to cook for himself and his grandmother, without wasting even a single credit.

But like the old mud buns entering the city, he and his grandmother have not yet adapted to the environment here, except for some unfamiliar high-tech infrastructure, the main thing is ...... People here don't seem to get along well.

"That'...... Miss, 1200 is 1200, give me a box, can you give me two boxes of beef, just as an addition? ”

Polaris stiffened and continued to pull.

Unexpectedly, the proprietress pinched the electronic cigarette and glared at him fiercely.

"Who are you scolding?!"

"Forehead ......"

Polaris suddenly noticed that the stall owners around him turned their heads to look, and they were suddenly a little dazed.

"Call me a pretty girl!"

The proprietress crossed her waist and waved her hand.

"The 'ruthless work' of the Doug consortium will give you two boxes, and you will definitely eat until you can support it, anyway, in this era, meat is worth eight dollars."

Seeing this, Polaris hurriedly called a beautiful girl, which immediately made the proprietress smile. The other party skillfully picked out a box of green vegetables, accompanied it with two boxes of beef rolls, packed them into a vacuum-sealed bag with the machine at hand, and handed them over.

Polaris finished settling the account with his personal terminal, carrying a large bag and a small bag on the accompanying transporter, wiping a cold sweat and leaving quickly.

But not long after he left the market, a prompt sounded on his personal terminal.

Polaris raised his arm to operate, and a projection screen appeared in front of him, on which was a window similar to a group chat, and the IDs were all familiar words.

"Hey, Polaris, are you alright? The update is over in an hour, so don't be late! ”

In Su Keying's window, her pink room was revealed, with all kinds of cute dolls and figurines placed on the bed and cabinet behind her.

She seems to have just woken up not long ago, and she is still wearing a cartoon pajamas, and her hair is not combed, which looks a little fried.

"I just finished shopping and I'm getting ready to go back to cooking, it might take some time...... But don't worry, I'll be online on time. ”

Polaris pressed the "autopilot" button on the transporter, sat on it, and chuckled.

"I said, you're a rich man, and you're still so frugal, what kind of life are you living, why don't you reopen your account and play [Ascetic] with us."

In the window in the upper left corner, a mature young man with glasses is revealed, and he said jokingly.

"Dongyang, you don't understand this, the reason why Brother Beizi is better than us is because of this rare character...... If you really want to be like us, where did you get the first place in the rankings? ”

The doghead is a yellow-haired young man with tattoos on his face and ears, and a distinct mechanical structure around his neck.

Centaurs, Crazy Benmad, Dragon King, Chenxi and others have shown their faces to communicate, their high-play group, after Polaris moved to Gorgeous City, they have an offline rally, and they will also deepen their relationship through video group chats on weekdays.

Now everyone is like an old friend, often joking, and Polaris is used to it.

"I'm almost home, let's talk about the game later."

Polaris looked up at the spacious and bustling floating track, as well as the tall buildings around the corner, and said to the projection screen.

"Okay, let's do this first, and besides, help me say hello to grandma."

Dongyang smiled gently.

After the others said a few words, Polaris smiled and turned off the projection.

He took a deep breath, got off the transporter, and pushed open the door to the apartment building.

After swiping the card, iris authentication and the machine security guard at the sentry box, Polaris entered the elevator.

At this time, he couldn't help but sigh, although there are many rules and regulations in the splendid city, and it is not even convenient to enter and exit the residence, but the environment here is countless times better than that of the tower city, and he does not have to worry about himself and his grandmother being robbed outside.

"It's all the game "Mysterious Times", and Mr. Jack changed my fate......"

Polaris smiled and shook his head.

A moment later.

Grandma cleaned up the dining table with a precision mechanical prosthetic limb and kindly urged:

"Abei, go and play the electric game, my friends should be waiting for you, I'll clean up these things."

Polaris glanced at the virtual clock on the windowsill, thanked his grandmother, and returned to the room.

He took a deep breath and slipped into the new sleeping pod, the latest "Casgaard 2000" model.

The customized base based on Polaris' body data, perfectly ergonomic, and the high-tech nanomaterials of the "Dancer" consortium make him feel comfortable to the extreme.

As the colorless and odorless nutrient solution gradually spread over his mouth and nose, the data cable was connected to the interface behind his head.

User "Polaris" requests access to ......

[Game "Mysterious Age" is being connected......]

【Connection successful!】 】

[Data is loading......]

【Loaded successfully!】 】

Wow –

Polaris suddenly felt a pitch-black line of sight, and a white light suddenly appeared.

Under a kerosene chandelier, in the dim light, familiar wardrobes and full-length mirrors appeared in front of him, and he stepped forward expectantly and read his figures.

Immediately, there was a boom!

Polaris instantly found himself on a fierce battlefield, surrounded by dense armies and cavalry, as well as countless shells and bullets, streaked through dense ballistics in mid-air.

He was not flustered, and even showed excitement on his face.

Because he knows, this is the 2.0 version of the opening CG!

Soon, Polaris discovered a familiar voice, which was the female narrator during the original version 1.0 open beta-

"War...... The war never stops, and on May 11, 4420 solar calendar, the war between the Trisur Empire and the United Kingdom of Anlong completely began......"
