At this time, Meng Yuan was actually extremely confused.
Apart from being confused, I was also a little scared.
Because he really almost got hit!
Meng Yuan didn't know the twists and turns in the demon's heart. He was just faithfully playing the role of an ordinary ranger player with some skills but not much, wandering around putting out fires. If the front line was tight, he would go to provide some support, but he also paid attention to himself. Protect, and if the situation is not right, take it down to rest and recuperate.
As a result, just as I was about to go to the east to help General Deng Yuanjing, meteorites suddenly started falling from the sky!
Meng Yuan didn't even think about hiding, because everything happened too fast, and he had no time to react. He just heard a loud "rumbling" sound, accompanied by a violent earthquake and a large amount of evil energy. It wasn't until everything settled that he realized what had happened.
These monsters are actually trying to find his location in this way again!
Meng Yuan, who regained consciousness, looked around and found that the greatest threat to him was the meteorite that Demon Lord Chi You smashed near General Deng Yuanjing, only a few steps away from him.
The impact of the falling meteorite had a certain impact on him, but this damage was insignificant to the Orderer.
However, if Chi You had not used half of his force to hit General Wei Huo, but had used all his force to hit here...
What the result will be is very difficult to say.
But no matter what, everything has been settled. Sometimes, there is only a little bit of luck between victory and failure.
And Meng Yuan was very proud of this, because luck seemed to be on his side again!
After the collision, the demon's demonic energy has been greatly consumed, and the Orderer has surpassed him in strength.
Therefore, Meng Yuan immediately summoned Beichen for the final finishing touches!
…
In the sky, Beichen looked at the clone of Demon Lord Chi You in the pit, walking forward step by step in the air.
At the same time, the awe-inspiring righteousness of countless players was pulled out, all gathered in Beichen's hands, and turned into a huge sword.
"Damn the Orderer!"
Demon Lord Chi You's eyes turned red, and his figure expanded rapidly, and began to continuously absorb the surrounding demonic energy!
The remaining demonic energy in the sky, the other big demons in the pit, and its other clone in the distance all turned into black smoke and dust, and began to gather in a steady stream, making its figure begin to grow huge.
And Beichen's body is also constantly expanding, like two giants standing tall, fighting in this vast slice of history for the ultimate showdown that will determine the direction of the entire history!
Below, the players have turned into soul states and can only watch the show.
"Beichen knows very well. He deliberately stood on the right side. After all, he has always lost against the left side."
"But from our perspective, he is on the left..."
"Ahem, don't worry about these details, they are all cutscenes anyway. As soon as Beichen appears, it means that he is completely stable!"
"There's nothing interesting to see. The next step is just Beichen slashing Chi You to death with one sword. When he wakes up, it's another smooth victory... Our players are really too strong!"
In the discussion among the players, the duel between Beichen and Chi You finally started!
Beichen brandished his sword and stabbed Chi You, while Chi You fought back with his axe. The two sides went back and forth, refusing to give in to each other.
The players looked at it for a while and felt something was wrong.
"Beichen's swordsmanship is quite ordinary."
"Isn't he the real one in the setting? Why does it feel a bit weak? His swordsmanship is not as good as that of Huo Yunying. No, it should be said that it is a bit worse."
"Hey, this is normal. Beichen's movements must have been motion captured by official staff. Boss Huo Yunying is a real kung fu master. Can this compare?"
"That's right. It's not easy for official staff to capture motion to this level. It's almost reaching Meng Yuan's level."
Players continue to eat melons with relish.
Finally, as the strength of both sides waxed and waned, Chi You gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Meng originally waited for the Orderer's power to gain an absolute advantage before taking action, so even if his swordsmanship was not at its peak and was a little weak, there would be no problem in dealing with a weak Chi You.
When these big monsters exhausted their demon power but still failed to find him, the battle was over.
"Damn you, cunning Orderer!"
Demon Lord Chi You's body was covered with wounds punctured by Haoran's righteousness. Seeing that the situation was over, he decided to fight to the death.
All the remaining demonic energy in the entire historical slice was absorbed into its body, and then its body began to shrink and shrink...
"boom!"
With a loud noise, an explosion more than ten times more powerful than the previous meteorite burst out from Chi You's body. The powerful explosion power swept over and enveloped Beichen in the air!
Looking from a distance, a mushroom cloud even rose from the site of the explosion.
The players were all shocked and could not recover for a while.
"What's going on? You can actually self-destruct?"
"This Chi You seems to be more stubborn than Xing Tian and Gong Gong... It seems that these big monsters are all from the same origin, and they all have no brains..."
"Huh? Beichen fell!"
The players hurriedly stepped forward, but in their soul state, they were unable to hold Beichen up. They could only watch Beichen's body slump and fall to the ground.
His body was covered with wounds and scars caused by the explosion.
"Don't scare us!" The players were a little panicked. What does this mean?
Could it be that important NPCs are taking care of themselves?
Blood oozed from the corner of Beichen's mouth, and he looked at the players gathered around him: "My mission has been completed...
"However, there are still remnants of demons in the slices of history from ancient times. From now on, it's up to you...
"We must always keep in mind the mission of the Orderer, maintain the security of the long river of history, break into the historical slices of ancient times, eliminate Chi You's true body, and wipe out all the demons..."
The players were all a little panicked. They originally thought it was a no-brainer defeat, but in the end, they ended up being replaced by the limit?
"Hey, don't do it, you are so powerful, why did you send it all at once?"
"Hold on? Can't you just give me some treatment? What will happen if there is no city lord in the Fortress of the Orderer? Who will we ask for reimbursement in the future?"
"Isn't this an official lunch? The plot killing is too deliberate. Hey, wake up!"
The players shouted in unison, but Beichen had already closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
His body gradually became transparent and disappeared, turning into countless awe-inspiring righteousness, blending into the mountains and rivers of this historical slice.
In the players' careers, the fog has filled the air again, which means that today's happiness is coming to an end.
"Huh? This time it's a little too short!"
"Yeah, I didn't even play the simulation trial, nor the final trial, so I went directly to the expedition of the Orderer. Although the scene is not small, I still feel that it is too wasteful to do a battle in such a big scene. click it?"
"Protest! Seriously protest to the authorities!"
"See you all on the forum, bye!"
…
Soon, all the players disappeared, and only Meng Yuan and Shenshang were left in the entire historical slice.
Meng Yuan is such a thief. The moment he controlled Beichen and fought against Demon Lord Chi You, he had already run away far away.
It was just to prevent Chi You from becoming angry and having his real body affected.
After Chi You blew himself up, Meng Yuan could actually use Haoran's righteousness to restore Beichen's clone again, but then he thought about it, what else could he restore? Beichen's avatar has already completed his historical mission, and it's time to withdraw from the stage of history!
Therefore, Meng Yuan decisively sent a lunch box to his clone.
Anyway, the most difficult battle has been dealt with, and then as long as the players are allowed to play freely, they will be able to break into the historical slices of the ancient times.
The game "Dark Sand" still needs to be operated, so it will have to change its operation method in the future.
"let's start."
Meng Yuan looked at the businessman.
The consultant nodded and began to float in the air, absorbing the remaining power.
The remaining demon power of the four great demons, as well as the large amount of demon power that was dispersed and left behind when Demon Lord Chi You was beheaded, were all continuously transformed into awe-inspiring righteousness and absorbed by Shenshang.
The mountains and rivers throughout the historical slice were also continuously washed by Haoran's righteousness in the process, gradually fading away from the distorted black fog state, and became sunny and pleasant.
Everything is back on track.
The ginseng merchant has finally reached his peak state, with his long hair flying in the air, like a goddess coming to the world.
"It's unbelievable that we actually defeated the devil Chi You..."
"Although he only defeated his clone and not his true body, Demon Lord Chi You basically brought all his family wealth with him this time, so he didn't have much power left in the ancient times.
"Now the balance of power between the two sides has become extremely disparate. As long as we move forward step by step and go to the ancient slice to completely kill Chi You's true body, it is possible to accomplish a feat that has never been accomplished by any previous restorer!
"This is incredible!"
The excited expression on the counselor's face was palpable. It was obvious that there were many talented people among the previous appointees, but they were all far from achieving this goal. And Meng Yuan's achievements at this time have far surpassed any of the sequencers.
But Meng Yuan smiled slightly: "I don't plan to get the historical slices of ancient times so soon."
The businessman was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Her expression gradually became serious: "Could it be that you...were contaminated during the battle with Demon Lord Chi You! Don't you want to switch sides and side with the demon now?"
Seeing the businessman's expression as if facing a formidable enemy, Meng Yuan was a little bit dumbfounded.
"What are you thinking! I am such a stubborn person, even if Chi You wants to pollute me, will he be able to find where I am?"
The businessman suddenly nodded: "Oh, that's right. Why is that?"
Meng Yuan looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers in the distance and took a few steps gently: "Shang Shang, let me ask you, what is the source of the demons?"
The consultant replied: "It's... people's forgetfulness and betrayal of history."
Meng Yuan nodded: "Yes, so we can indeed kill the Demon Lord Chi You, but the demons will never really be driven out, right? As long as there is a slight disturbance, they will always come back."
The consultant was silent for a moment: "Well, it can be understood that way."
Since ancient times, humans and demons have been engaged in a brutal war. Although humans have won, the demons have never been completely eliminated.
They have been hiding in slices of history from the past, ready to come back at any time.
They will try their best to distort people's memory of history, and once the time is right, they will use specific historical slices as a springboard to invade the real world.
In the long history, the closer to the historical slice of ancient times, the scarcer the historical records of people and the weaker the historical memory, so the power of demons becomes stronger.
But before, Meng Yuan had always ignored a question: How did the demons come into being?
Did demons really exist in ancient times? If so, doesn't it mean that ancient times were really a world where all kinds of strange forces and chaotic gods were rampant, and those ancient myths and legends are all documentary literature?
If these monsters are real, then how do they lurk in slices of history and keep invading?
Now, Meng Yuan understood that the root of the existence of demons lies in the human heart.
Demons are indeed constantly distorting people's historical memories and increasing their power, but even if there are no demons, there will always be a small group of people in the crowd who spontaneously distort historical memories for various purposes.
Some of them may be unconscious, such as those ancient myths compiled by the ancients. In the final analysis, it is because their cognitive level is limited and they have seen many phenomena that are difficult to explain. Therefore, after fermented by their own imagination, they turned into various strange forces. The mythical story of the chaotic god.
And some are conscious. For example, some people deliberately distort history for various reasons, slander those heroes, and whitewash the invaders.
And as long as humans still exist, these negative emotions will continue to exist, and demons will continue to be born.
And the life of the orderer has its limits after all.
Regardless of whether they died young due to fighting monsters or died of old age, those who returned to order cannot live forever. Only the guide of Gong Shang can continue to exist in the long river of history.
So, even under the most optimistic scenario, if Meng Yuan leads the players to invade the historical slices of ancient times, kill Chi You, and spends a few more years to clean up all the remaining evil spirits in all historical slices, it still won't be possible. Stop the demon from resurrecting.
After Meng Yuan dies, one hundred or two hundred years may pass, and the demon will become even more powerful than it is now. And it's hard to say whether a new orderer will come out to turn the tide by then.
The consultant was a little confused: "But, what are you going to do? The lifespan of the Ordered Ones has a limit. If we don't eradicate it now, wouldn't it be more likely that the demon will come back in the future? There's nothing we can do about it."
Meng Yuan shook his head slightly: "No, there is a way."
He paused for a moment and said, "I want to hand over the task of resisting the demon to all the players.
"As long as there are still players playing the game "Dark Sands", as long as they can still see the true history through this game, then the Orderers can suppress the demons forever.
"As long as there are always talented players like Zhao Haiping and Chu Ge among the players, the demons will never be able to make waves."
The businessman thought thoughtfully: "Then... what are you going to do?"
Meng Yuan: "I want to update a new version. Also, open a new function called the 'Hall of the Orderers'. Put up all the statues of the previous Orderers and introduce their achievements so that everyone can Always remember - even in games.
"From today on, all players are truly sequencers."
The consultant hesitated: "Is this necessary? Things like the Orderer's Hall consume a lot of power."
But seeing Meng Yuan's firm eyes, she had no choice but to nod: "Okay."
…
…
In reality, the players had already woken up and started a lively discussion.
"The battle yesterday was really thrilling!"
"Indeed, the big scene is full, but the only problem is... it's a little short and not satisfying!"
"It's the first time for a new player to play. I would like to ask, was this the same in "Dark Sand" before? It ruined the scene at the slightest disagreement?"
"I don't know, maybe the production team was drunk yesterday..."
"So, we have killed Chi You, what happens next? Could it be that the game has already concluded before it officially starts operating?"
"But there is still a lot of content in this game that we have not yet experienced. For example, in the previous dynasties, we have only conquered the core historical slices, and have not touched the secondary historical slices at all."
"Let's see what the official arrangements are later."
"Go watch the video of last night's expedition to the Orderer. It's so cool! What kind of epic movie with big scenes can compare with this? It's invincible!"
On the Internet, the number of online viewers of last night's video increased by tens or hundreds of thousands almost every second.
Modern people can no longer see this kind of cold weapon combat involving hundreds of thousands of troops.
Although humans have experienced many similar large-scale battles in history, there was no imaging equipment at that time and they could not be preserved at all.
Even if there are records by historians, few historians understand the art of war, so the records are often full of errors.
In modern society, although humans have invented imaging equipment, the form of war has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Hundreds of thousands of cold weapon battles can basically only be completed with special effects.
The big scenes with special effects are often too powerful but not realistic enough.
Therefore, the war scenes in "Dark Sand" are unique, allowing countless audiences who have not personally participated to experience the real scenes of the cold weapon era.
This video lasted for five hours, not only recording the specific process of the entire war, but also recording the wonderful performance of the players. The frontal battlefield and General Wei Huo's surprise troops each occupied a certain amount of space, making the audience hooked.
And just when the video was on the air, the new version update announcement of "Dark Sand" was also released.
"New version update announcement of "Dark Sand":
"Under the heroic resistance of the players, the attempt of Demon Lord Chi You was shattered, and the copy 'Sealing the Wolf to Juxu' was also successfully breached!
"The demon originally wanted to gather superior forces to form an encirclement and suppression situation against the Orderers, but the Orderers and the players properly used various tactics and fought bravely, and finally completely shattered the demon's plot and made the Orderers the first in history. Secondly, he took the initiative in the war between monsters and monsters!
"After this battle, "Dark Sand" will enter a state of preparation for a new version. The details are as follows:
"1. The simulated trial copy of "Sealing the Wolf in Xu" will continue to be open for players to experience repeatedly.
“2. The gameplay of land enclave has been upgraded. In addition to the further expansion of the scope of the Orderer’s forts and player fiefdoms, the further changes in the surrounding terrain, and the emergence of more craftsmen and resource points, a new function ‘The Orderer’s Stronghold’ will also be launched.
"After this function is opened, players will be allowed to establish Orderer strongholds in each small historical slice for development and management. The management method is similar to Orderer fortress, but the relevant resources can only be limited to this historical slice.
"3. The heroic spirit summoning function has been upgraded.
“The Heroic Spirits that can currently be summoned are all the Heroic Spirits that players have encountered in all historical slices they have conquered.
"Four. The closed beta test is over and "Dark Sand" will enter the official operation stage.
"All players can freely enter the game world of "Dark Sand" and experience the 'simulation trial' part of each copy.
"However, taking into account server limitations, the gameplay of 'Ultimate Trial' and 'Register's Expedition' will still be subject to some restrictions. Every other week, the official will screen 100,000 players from the simulated trial players and distribute them into the 'Return' Predictor's Expedition's game qualifications.
"The screening method of 'Ultimate Trial' remains unchanged.
"Seven days later, the game will enter official operation and a new version of 'Jiangshan So Many Beauties' will be launched. The specific update content is as follows.
“1. All branch dungeons of the Sheng Dynasty, Qi Dynasty, Liang Dynasty, Chu Dynasty and other dynasties that have been cleared will be opened. Players can enter any historical slice of these dynasties to experience it.
"2. Mainline dungeons that have not yet been conquered, such as the Yan Dynasty and the Ancient Era, will be opened. The specific opening time of the 'Ultimate Trial' and 'The Orderer's Expedition' gameplay is to be determined.
“Third, open a new function, the Hall of Orderers. In the hall, the previous Orderers who sacrificed their lives to protect history will be displayed, and their deeds will be recorded for everyone to pay their respects.
"Thank you for your continued support and love for "Dark Sand". All the staff of the "Dark Sand" game project team hope to work with you in the future to continue writing new legends for players!"
…
As soon as the update announcement came out, players immediately started a heated discussion.
"I'll go! The Wannian open beta game has actually begun official operation? Ye Qingjie!"
"There is such a gameplay as 'The Orderer's Stronghold'? Doesn't that mean you can just occupy a historical slice and play it yourself? How happy! Once this gameplay is enabled, I will be able to live for another 10,000 years!"
"Everyone can enter the simulation trial, it's completely open! I'll see if any cloud players dare to post barrages and taunts in the video in the future!"
"You upstairs are overthinking. Cloud players will still ridicule if they should. This has nothing to do with whether they can get the game qualification."
“The new version opens all copies???”
"Good guy, why doesn't it look like you're opening a new version, but it looks like you're running away?"
"I would like to say that in the past, there was only one new dungeon every week or so. I already felt that the volume was incredible. Now, a massive amount of content has been opened directly. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by programmers with bald heads!"
"Maybe the opening method of this game is indeed not the conventional way..."
"It doesn't matter so much, just think that it has been done a long time ago and has been tested, and it is only released now! No player will think that the game has too much content!"
"That's right."
"Anyway, just play! This time everyone can enter the simulation trial, and celebrate the New Year!"
…
…
A week later.
The official operating version of "Dark Sand" doesn't feel updated at all, so I just jumped in directly.
However, the surrounding scenes made the players realize something different.
Because the first thing they entered was no longer the Orderer's space, but the Orderer's Hall!
Zhao Haiping stepped into the hall and found that the style here was similar to that of the Orderer space. Huge stone pillars reached into the sky, and the scene was extremely open.
But the difference is that there are huge stone sculptures everywhere.
These statues are all successive ones, most of them are wearing ancient costumes with different styles, and only a few of them are wearing modern costumes.
On the huge base under the statue, the names, dates of birth and death, and experiences of these people are written.
Zhao Haiping looked over one by one and found that these sequencers were really extraordinary. They were all talented people. But unfortunately, some of them died very early, and although some of them persisted for decades, they were not as strong as the demons. It is still getting stronger and stronger.
Fortunately, a very powerful Orderer appears every now and then, pushing the demons back to the Liang Dynasty or even the Chu Dynasty, thus ensuring the safety of the real world.
And at the end of these statues, it was Beichen.
There are not many records about Beichen, only a few lines saying that he died in the battle with Chi You.
"It's strange, why is your name different from other people's paintings?"
Zhao Haiping was a little puzzled, because the names on the other statues were all given names, but Beichen looked like a code name.
However, he didn't dwell on this. He just took a cursory glance at these statues and then continued to move forward, stepping into a new trial illusion.
…
In true sequencer space.
Meng Yuan stretched out: "It's a holiday! It's a holiday! From now on, this game can operate normally on its own. Just keep an eye on it. If you need anything, call me anytime."
Shen Shang has returned to her original state, becoming the little lolita in ancient costume who is only five or six years old.
Opening the new version this time consumes a lot of power, but in Meng Yuan's view, it is all worth it.
Although it is also important to advance to the historical slice of ancient times and completely eliminate Chi You, it is more important to establish a long-term mechanism.
Now, Meng Yuan has established a perfect system, and players can continue to conquer various historical slices that were previously ignored and continuously improve their strength. And when they have the strength to attack the historical slices of ancient times, it will be Chi You's death.
But now, Meng Yuan deliberately kept these demons just to give the players some practice.
The consultant pouted somewhat unhappily: "But where do you, the real one, plan to go?"
Meng Principle said confidently: "Of course I'm going to enjoy life! What, can't those who return to order have their own life?"
The businessman was at a loss for words for a moment: "Ah, what you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless."
Meng Yuan smiled: "Don't be so tense and serious all the time. We have to face history squarely and take responsibility, but sometimes we have to be as relaxed as possible, because only in this way can we influence more people. Only then can the mission continue without facing too much resistance.”
He overlooked the long river of history and looked at the dense spots of light inside.
Those are all players fighting in their own way.
"One person's power is limited after all. Next, it still depends on everyone's joint efforts."
Meng Yuan turned around and disappeared into the space of the Orderer.
The consultant looked at the "Notes of the Orderer" left in his hand, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
With a casual move, a stone platform appeared in the hall, and the notebook was placed squarely on the stone platform.
"Clatter", the notes were opened repeatedly, revealing the handwriting on them.
"The true face of this world is not as friendly, warm and beautiful as it seems..."
The previous pages were originally recorded by Meng Yuan. They were exposed on the Internet and naturally became promotional materials for the game "Dark Sand".
Now, there is one more line at the end.
"It turns out that everyone can be the orderer of history."
