Chapter 599: The Fourth Natural Calamity is coming

Murphy stood in the square of Pinewood Town, looking at the players around him who were densely and excitedly exploring this new world, and there was only one thought in his heart - I see!

What can be inferred from the announcement alone is not as intuitive as the picture you have witnessed.

Pinewood is just a remote novice village, and Alterac has no presence, and with so many players, it's not hard to imagine how terrifying the number of players would be in an important country like Stormwind Dalaran.

In a short period of time, the number of players in the Firmament World will probably increase several times.

The impact of such a large influx of players would be catastrophic like never before.

The expression on Mo Fei's face was still calm, but his heart was like lightning in his heart.

Everything became clear in an instant.

He had made several observations of the future in the past, but he had found no trace of the fourth natural disaster, although the world of the sky was full of disasters, and there were countless events that could lead to large-scale crises at countless points in time.

But none of them corresponded to the prophesied fourth plague.

Disasters even more terrifying than the Scourge of the Dead, the Burning Legion, and the Invasion of the Void.

However, at this time, looking at the boundless adventurers in the novice village, looking at the wild monsters that had just been slaughtered as soon as they were refreshed, and seeing that in less than half a day, someone had already begun to attack the villager guards outside the town, Mo Fei immediately realized that the fourth natural disaster was referring to the player.

The so-called Fourth Natural Plague......

Players will bring destruction, and will use various ways to profit from the characters in the game, which was already revealed in the Second Orc War.

At that time, when the Alliance and the Horde were fighting in the wetlands, players from both camps would cooperate with each other to kill the heroes of the other faction.

Kargas Blade Fist, Jean Greymane, and many lesser-known Hero Lords have died at the hands of the player.

And that's just when the number of players is not in the majority.

Now, with the influx of a large number of players, the entire game ecology will inevitably be subversively affected, and there is a high probability that it will not be a good impact.

Not to mention, there are still tons of game studios that will get into games these days.

In the past, although there were studios in the firmament world, the number and scale of studios were very limited because of the high cost of starting the number, after all, this game cost 80,000 for a game helmet, and a premium template starts at 100,000, even if it is an adventurer, it costs 500 coupons a month.

And it can't be like a traditional game, and it costs millions of dollars to build a studio with dozens of people, not counting the cost of templates and point cards.

This leaves the studio as a secondary player in the game, reselling materials, engaging in the construction industry, or forming an adventure party to give the hero a hand.

Overall, it's not much like the average player.

But now, with the launch of a few thousand cheap helmets, it's not hard to imagine a large number of studios coming into the game.

The game's currency is very strong, and it goes without saying how amazing it is for game studios.

The studio's mining of game vulnerabilities, sensitivity to interests, and the bottom line of life when playing games are far beyond ordinary people.

And game studios don't care about game feelings, for them only money is valuable.

In addition, the heroes of this game, elites and other plot characters can explode equipment, and if the plot is killed, it will still explode, which is even more profitable than fighting bosses.

Even if he doesn't have the power of time to predict the future, Murphy can already foresee that there will be countless game studios in the future who will play these plot characters, just like the players of the Alliance Tribes who killed each other's heroes from rival camps.

Now that the four camps have been formed, they are not completely at peace with each other, and there is not much punishment for killing each other's heroes and NPCs, and if this continues, I am afraid that in the end, every plot character will not be spared.

In the face of the attacks of the players who cooperate with each other, there will even be enemy shadows around you, and no matter how powerful the hero is, it may be difficult to resist.

They simply cannot understand why they are being attacked, why their movements are well known to the enemy, why their allies in the same camp betray them.

In the end, this game may only be left with the existence of the player, all the characters in the plot will be killed, and the entire world of the sky will be turned into a ship of Theseus, and all traces of the original will be erased......

Murphy imagined the future, and his heart felt a chill.

[Whether it is a humble mortal or a peerless strong.

If one of the ten cannot survive, it will not be spared. 】

This is the true meaning of this prophecy.

(I see, everything is already clear, the reason why Morpheus fought with his life to seize the power of the dragon god was to save the world from this terrible end?) )

"Morpheus, Morpheus, you are indeed a respectable opponent."

Mo Fei muttered to himself, a little sad and a little emotional.

If he had said that to Morpheus only to comfort the dying, now he said it from the heart.

"Don't worry, Morpheus, I will fulfill your wish for you, I will bring freedom to this world, and I will liberate it from a terrible fate."

Murphy had been dispensable with this promise before, but now he had finally made up his mind.

Because this world is not only Morpheus's world, but also has many of his friends.

Varian, Arthas, Gianna, Roland Knights...... These people who have fought side by side with him, whether they are real lives or virtual programs, how can the friendship of the past be false.

It can even be said that these people have a better relationship with him than his friends in reality, people in reality will betray for the sake of interests, but friends in this world will be willing to give their lives for each other.

With this belief in mind, Murphy quit the game.

He stood on the roof of his own building and looked at the city beneath his feet.

He wanted to look into the future, to figure out when the fourth catastrophe would begin, and when it would break out completely.

You must complete the action before the destruction of the Firmament World.

In the game, he can't observe the player's presence, and therefore the exact time of destruction, but if he were to observe it in reality, it would be different.

In the real-world timeline, you will definitely be able to find specific clues.

He closed his eyes.

The Authority of Time – The Future Presents!

Mo Fei opened his eyes suddenly, and for a moment, the world seemed to become an endless web.

From his location, countless events were staged at the same time, countless images were intertwined with each other in the context of time.

Time becomes an observable three-dimensional image, and he is outside the network of time in a transcendental form as if he were in a four-dimensional space.

The scene in front of him reminded him of the four-dimensional space in Interstellar, but it was more complicated than that four-dimensional space, after all, Interstellar only presented a few scenes, but what he could see was the whole world.

Murphy walked through the air, he walked between different points in time, listening to the conversations of the humans.

Get information from some text pictures on the screen.

In particular, pay attention to the parts related to the game, although it is not possible to understand it directly, but you can also get information about the internal dynamics of the game from these conversations and from the video broadcast of the news.

The more he observed, the more frightened he became, and the fourth disaster happened just as he had guessed.

There have been some killings since the first month, and the scale is not large at first, and the chances of success are not too high, but people can't be resurrected from death, and those plot characters are still decreasing.

By the third month, as the studio's account levels had gone up, the mass killing began.

To his surprise, it seems that some plot characters have discovered the clues, and from the dialogue of those players, it seems that the gamers have also become two opposing factions, one group of players does not care about the lives of NPCs at all, and only wants to burst more equipment from them.

The other faction wants to play normally and get along with the NPCs normally, but it is easy to destroy and difficult to build, and after all, the sabotage faction has more people and has the upper hand.

By the fifth month, the important NPCs were almost dead, and the whole game became a war game between players......

He took a deep breath, the future was even more terrifying than he had expected, and he had to finish the operation before the mass killing began.

Three months is the time for the player to level up, and with three months, the adventurer can basically rise to level forty or fifty.

Thousands of adventurers will pose a huge threat to the plot characters, and as long as they are paired with a random hero player, these plot characters can be completely erased.

Hey?

Murphy suddenly noticed a strange place, in the long river of time he had observed, there was one person missing.

Wang Xuan!

Just as he couldn't observe the player in the game, in reality, he couldn't observe Wang Xuan's future.

There is no Wang Xuan in any of the pictures.

What's going on? Could it be that Wang Xuan is not from this world?

Murphy felt a thrill in his heart.

If you explain it this way, everything will be explained, and technology like holographic virtual games is indeed a bit beyond the level of modern technology.

As if it came out of nowhere, if Wang Xuan came from another universe, then it would make sense.

Murphy returned to reality from the four-dimensional space.

Although he got a lot of information, Murphy felt that it was still not enough.

The information only learned from the side is not intuitive after all, and the time of three months is too broad, during which those people died, and those who survived, did any of the dead have their own friends? These are all important.

Is there a way to observe the game and reality at the same time? If he could combine reality and games and observe them at the same time, then he would be able to truly predict the entire future.

But how do you observe two worlds at the same time? I can't be a doppelganger - hey, there is!

Murphy looked at the game warehouse, but a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

If you can succeed or not, you will find out by giving it a try.

As soon as he wanted, Murphy lay down in the game compartment and slowly closed the hatch.

Launching the game and looking at the countdown numbers on the screen, Murphy didn't close his eyes.

5——4——3——2——1…… When the last number came up, he suddenly slowed down time hundreds of times.

Everything slowly emerged like a slide, the light flowed in front of him, the darkness gradually emerged, the darkness was like a tunnel, leading to the mysterious virtual world, and the colorful light began to suck him into the tunnel.

Murphy is concentrating on controlling time, slowing down one second by an infinite number of times, and the speed at which the player's mind is loaded into the game is at the speed of light, so when the player logs into the game, he often just feels that the white light flashes in front of him, and the next second is already in the game.

At this time, Murphy has to witness the process of all this, and he must be stuck on the most critical frame.

The tunnel looks like it's coming to an end, and you can even faintly see the character selection screen in the game.

Now is the time!

The Authority of Time – Time Stands Still!

Silently, everything froze, and Murphy stood in the middle of the tunnel, with reality behind him, virtuality in front, and programs and codes flowing with beams of light around him......

It's an amazing picture.

However, it still doesn't work, Mo Fei tried it, but shook his head helplessly, although he is now between the game and reality, as long as he takes a step forward, he will enter the game, and if he takes a step back, he will return to reality.

If you want to observe the future, you have to let time unfold before your eyes, and once you do, you will be dragged into the game.

Pity...... As a result, he still can't observe both worlds at the same time.

He was about to end this awkward state when he was suddenly attracted to something.

It was a string of code-like things, glowing golden, suspended in the air, seemingly flowing into the depths of the tunnel, in the middle of the game.

There are many more such codes, and they make up this colorful tunnel, each with a different color, gold, black, green, red, blue, gray......

Murphy calculated, there were six types of code, which were intertwined and mixed with each other to form a channel, and the channel seemed to be part of the game's architecture, the entrance to the virtual world.

Murphy looked at the code, vaguely sensing the subtlety of the code.

He placed his hand on a string of green codes, vaguely feeling as if he could manipulate it, it was- Chaos Force!

He put his hand on another string of red codes, and it was - Life Force!

Mo Fei suddenly realized that the codes of these six colors correspond to the six Forces, light and darkness, life and death, chaos and order.

The game's system framework is written from these six codes.

Yes, World of Warcraft is originally composed of the six Forces, no matter who created this game, it seems to run along this line, the codes representing the six Powers are intertwined to form the cornerstone of this world, so it is, so it is!

Murphy became extremely excited for a moment.

He understood something more in an instant.

Why the chosen son would be Morpheus, and why only the dragon god could liberate this world, everything is clear at this time.

Because the dragon clan is born with the characteristic of absorbing the energy of different attributes, and the dragon god can absorb different power and authority into the dragon god's authority, only the dragon god can control the six forces at the same time.

Since this world is written by the six Forces, does it mean that as long as you control the six Forces, you can control the system architecture of this game.

If you control the system, will you be able to make the world free?

The more Mo Fei thought about it, the more it made sense.

He now has mastered the four Forces, Order (Arcane), Chaos (Evil Power), Life, Death, and now only Light and Shadow.

No wonder Wang Xuan didn't want him to participate in this plot event, he must have been afraid that he would defeat the Void Will and gather all the six Great Forces.

However, it is indeed a bit troublesome to collect the six Great Powers in front of him, and it stands to reason that if you want to obtain the Shadow Authority, you only need to kill an Ancient God, but now that the Five Ancient Gods have been combined, if you want to engage in the Shadow Authority, you can only attack the Void Will.

Of course, it is possible to enter the Shadow Void and find other Void Lords, but that would be too dangerous.

The physical laws of the Shadow Void are completely different from the real universe, and even the dragon god does not dare to ensure safety.

And the power of light is even more troublesome, the supreme will has been sent, and the god of light never appears, and the gods will not easily intervene in the game world.

I don't know if Naru has the authority of light, but I always feel a little bit less interesting.

And if he wants to do it, he will inevitably be noticed by Wang Xuan, the other party seems to be secretly spying on him, and once he finds out his purpose, he will inevitably stop it.

I have to find a way to find something for him to do......

Murphy kept thinking in his mind, and a plan began to take shape in his mind.

That's right, that's it! Murphy finally thought through the last step.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, after completing all the origin plot tasks and becoming a dragon god, he finally found a goal worth working for.
