Two hours after the sky was restored.
Now that the threat from the giant world has been basically eliminated, the garrison troops under each black hole who had been tense for many days were finally able to relax and free up their manpower to start solving various post-war issues.
In this disaster, many areas of the earth were devastated, especially the previous tsunami, which brought unimaginable damage to a large number of coastal cities.
Fortunately, humans have already mastered the power of magic. With such convenient tools as repair spells, the damage to urban buildings and infrastructure is not a big deal.
Just after the previous tsunami ended, major coastal countries quickly organized manpower and began to repair the damage and rebuild homes.
In addition, some of the remaining alien beasts on the Pacific side also need to be cleared away as soon as possible.
Of course, this is not a problem. After the threat of giants is eliminated, the remaining strange beasts have even become welfare for players. Even if no one cares about them, there are still many players rushing to hunt them.
At this time, there was also intense discussion about this incident on the Fool Forum.
Now that the crisis has been resolved, the dead in the past few days have also been resurrected, and the discussion atmosphere on the forum has quickly changed from the previous despair and lifelessness to the current joy of surviving the disaster.
Countless players posted posts to celebrate and spare no effort to praise the various heroic deeds that have occurred in the past few days.
Some players who directly participated in the frontline confrontation also jumped out to show off their achievements and trophies at this time.
The forum was buzzing with activity, and the players seemed to have quickly recovered.
However, if you really observe carefully, you will find that the discussion atmosphere of the forum has quietly changed compared to before the disaster.
Although this disaster did not have any real impact on mankind, it completely subverted the entertainment mentality of most ordinary people when facing other worlds!
There have been several biological invasions from the star world on Earth before, but due to their small scale, they were all quickly suppressed and had almost no impact on human life.
This has led to many people having no real sense of the threat from other worlds. A considerable proportion of people still believe that other races in the game are just NPCs and do not really exist, and that the Star Spirit World and the newly emerged new world are nothing more than It is a back garden for players to take and take away. No matter how they stir up trouble in another world, it will not affect the real world.
It wasn't until this time that mankind was really on the verge of annihilation that those who were still lucky enough finally woke up: The Fool's Game is not just a simple game, they are facing two real worlds , facing countless thoughtful and independent aliens!
Just like they have the ability to invade those two worlds, the people from these two worlds also have the ability to descend on their territory. This is a real life-and-death war, and every next choice made by the players will affect the future destiny of mankind.
Under this kind of external pressure, various forces in the human world have rarely united. Many internal conflicts have been naturally put aside, and the focus has almost entirely shifted to external issues.
The various heroes and deeds in this battle were also recorded in detail and widely disseminated.
No one dares to tamper with this aspect, after all, the threat has not been completely eliminated.
Although the sky has recovered now, several black holes in the sky still exist. The message from Captain Ghost also clearly mentioned that the crisis is only 'temporarily' eliminated, and alien creatures may still fall at any time in the future.
Therefore, the areas under several black holes were not rushed to be reconstructed, but were designated as isolation areas. They will be garrisoned for a long time, and the real-time monitoring of several black holes will not stop.
As for the original residents in these areas, they were moved in batches to other surrounding cities to settle.
In just a few hours, a detailed review of the entire battle had been produced into electronic and physical books and widely disseminated around the world.
Under the threat of alien races, human beings now urgently need some heroic deeds to boost their morale, and they also need trustworthy people to stand up and lead them.
Under the deliberate guidance of the authorities, the public never tired of engaging in heated debates about the characters mentioned in the review book.
After a noisy debate about merit, people finally classified the heroes who emerged in this battle into three, six or nine grades according to their contributions.
Among them, it goes without saying that Captain Ghost, after this incident, his prestige among humans has reached an unprecedented height!
Even if he didn't destroy the five giants alone, just the miracle of the resurrection of the last group would have saved many families on the verge of despair.
In addition, the emperor's deeds have also been recognized and sought after by a large number of people. He did not destroy any giants, but he single-handedly saved the crisis and maintained the situation until Captain Ghost returned.
In many people's evaluations, his achievements even rank before the girl with the red scythe who killed a giant.
Then came the red sickle girl, other Sky City Lords, more than 20,000 warriors who were fighting the giant on the front line, and others who rushed to the scene at the last moment, etc.
In short, in the end, everyone's contribution was clearly classified into each position, without any deduction or over-exaggeration.
However, there was still one thing that made everyone very entangled, and in the end the discussion failed to come to a conclusion, and that was Dawn City.
Dawn City, in many people's minds, is a city that rebelled. As a result, it was Sky City, which many people regarded as a rebel city, that saved the deadlock at a very critical point. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to land at that time. It's not six giants anymore, but...
If we really want to count according to merit, the person who controls Dawn City's patching of the sky should at least be ranked after the ghost captain and before the emperor.
However, it is also true that the other party stole a sky city from mankind out of selfish desires. Once this achievement was over, many people were unable to evaluate it, and in the end they could only pretend not to see it and ignore it.
After a lot of praise and ranking based on seniority, the most important step is to distribute the spoils.
God's bones, God's blood, in addition to a large number of divine crystals, exotic beast materials, etc., are all priceless things.
How to reasonably distribute these spoils of war is an issue that needs to be discussed urgently.
In this regard, the United Nations has quickly established a special seminar to ensure that the distribution process is open and transparent, and the entire process is subject to social supervision.
At this time, there is no need to worry about anyone seeking personal gain. After all, there are too many forces and countries involved, and there are billions of people watching. The earth has just experienced a life-and-death crisis. If anyone dares to make small moves at this time, the end will definitely not be good.
The seminar was quickly constructed, and the staff was basically composed of former members of the Global Self-Help Alliance, and the content of the discussion was broadcast to the public in real time.
However, this meeting has been delayed in starting because one of the most important protagonists is missing.
Ghost Captain!
Ever since the repair of the sky was completed, he had lost all contact with him and never showed up again.
Realizing that the ghost captain was still unavailable, the seminar team hurriedly contacted the red sickle girl and several other acquaintances of the ghost captain. As a result, even they did not know the whereabouts of the ghost captain!
Now everyone was confused.
Where did Captain Ghost go?
Could it be that he didn’t want to show up and retire after resolving the incident? Not so much...
Or, is there some hidden crisis that has not yet been resolved?
Everyone was a little uneasy for a moment, and all the major forces hurriedly mobilized their manpower to search for the ghost captain's whereabouts.
…
Mu You didn't know that many people were looking for him all over the world.
At this moment, he is located on an uninhabited island in the southern sea.
Because after making the wish just now, he suddenly felt a calling thought coming from his consciousness.
The only people who could convey information to him in his consciousness were obviously those who were administrators with him.
So Mu You immediately landed on the island below, found a hidden cave, sat down in it, and connected his consciousness to the line of cause and effect.
He skillfully traced his consciousness along the line of cause and effect again, and soon found the end of the consciousness of the administrator who had communicated with him before.
But this time, when his thoughts hit the other party along the line of cause and effect, the other party no longer rejected him. Instead, he wrapped his thoughts and took them away from the end of the line of cause and effect.
Mu You only felt the sound of water flowing in front of him. He opened his eyes subconsciously, only to find that what appeared in front of him was no longer an island or a cave, but an underground cave that he had never seen before.
Mu You frowned and looked around.
The light in this place is dark and the space is small. Streams cross the ground. At the end of several streams, there are potted plants. The ones planted in the pots are not any plants, but skinny and thin bodies. A short, dwarf-like old man.
Mu You was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that these people in front of him should be the game administrators, and this was where they were hiding.
But just now, his consciousness was accepted by these people and brought into this space, and then he was able to see their true bodies.
"So, this is the price you paid for surviving from the God-Eating Beast?" Mu You looked at the few people with a sigh.
He remembered that Ancestor Fuya said that when the Fools returned to the Star Spirit World, almost all of them were parasitized, but there were still a very small number of people who survived through some special methods, but the cost was extremely serious. People have almost lost all strength and mobility, becoming neither human nor ghosts.
Obviously, she was describing the state of the people in front of her.
"Yes." One of the potted people smiled bitterly: "So, we are really envious that you can survive the crisis at almost zero cost this time. According to our initial estimates, if you want to survive the crisis, you must at least A considerable number of elites were sacrificed..."
Now there is no point in saying this, Mu You shook his head: "So you came to me?"
"Thanks to the activity of a small number of you, this incident finally passed without any danger. But then, to be honest, everything was out of our control and headed in an unknown direction."
Another old man said seriously: "I called you here this time just to discuss the next thing with you."
If it were before, they would not go to Mu You directly, but would find a way to negotiate collectively with humans. After all, no matter how much they discuss with him alone, they cannot represent the opinions of all humans.
But after this incident, Mu You's prestige and status are enough, and everyone believes that he can attract countless people to follow him just by raising his arms.
"Of course, you must have a lot of doubts before this. If you want to ask anything, just ask first." The old man smiled at Mu You.
"good."
Mu You was not polite. After a pause, he asked three questions in a row.
"Why are there cracks in the sky?"
"What exactly happened to you in the high heavens?"
"What is the Great Disaster? Why is the Star Spirit World destroyed every four thousand years?"
After Mu You asked, several old men looked at each other in confusion.
Finally, it was the old man who spoke just now, who smiled bitterly and said: "All of this starts with the cause of the formation of the star spirit world..."
"Do you know why The Fool can turn the remains of other races into 'skin' to wear?" the old man asked.
"Why?"
"Actually, this was originally the privilege of the Gods, but it was stolen by the Fools."
"Oh?" Mu You frowned.
Seeing that Mu You still looked puzzled, the old man thought for a while and gave him an example: "In your society, things like 'online games' have been invented. To enter the game world, a person must first create an account, and in When you create an account, you can choose your appearance, gender, race, etc. At the same time, each of you can create several accounts at the same time to experience different races, which you call 'vests'."
"The same goes for the skin of a fool."
"You mean..." Mu You was stunned when he heard this, and his expression turned strange.
"Yes, the Star Spirit World is actually a game world jointly created by the Gods of the Gods for all the Gods to experience. Of course, the purpose of the gods is not simply to let the people relax, but to be more efficient. of spreading faith.”
“Spread the faith?”
"Yes, because the world of giants is so big that many gods can't even see one or two gods in their lives. Naturally, it is difficult to choose the most suitable god to believe in." The old man said: "At the same time, the types of gods are too many. There are many gods, and each god wants to win as many believers as possible for itself, because the number of believers directly determines the growth rate of the god, so the gods even do not hesitate to launch theological wars and fight among themselves."
"In order to avoid bloody conflicts, after the gods discussed it, no one accepted it, and finally decided to join forces to create a virtual world. Each god can lead a tribe in this world, and all the gods can also enter this world and wear 'Skin', to experience the leadership of each god in different identities, so as to decide which god is most suitable for you to believe in."
"At the same time, through the channels in the game world, the gods can also connect people who are countless miles away to more conveniently preach and collect divinity."
"Actually...that's it?"
Mu You looked strange when he heard this.
The star spirit world is really just a game world...
Well, Fools, to put it bluntly, after the demise of the Gods, due to some coincidences, they replaced the Gods and became the 'protagonist' of this game.
"We don't know how the gods created the world. However, since it is a created world, there will always be a load limit. As the age increases and player data continues to increase, sooner or later the star world will be fully loaded. , in order for the Star Spirit World to continue to exist without collapsing, every four thousand years, the Star Spirit World will be shut down, and all initial data will be cleared and rebuilt." The old man looked at Mu You: "This is the origin of the Great Disaster. .”
