125: Miracle? A major crossover version update!

“Are we really going to fight Demon Lord this time?”

At the God Chosen Plaza, although the elites from various guilds seemed lively, they were still confused about what they were going to do today.

“Probably.”

“But isn’t Demon Lord in East Continent? How do we get there?”

“Shit, that’s obviously a grand voyage~”

“The Eternal Night Sea will surely be conquered by us.”

“FK, that’s a Five-Turn map. Even with a Law Sage escort today, there’s no guarantee we’ll find an ancient route and arrive safely, right?”

“Trust the Guild Master, trust the God Chosen, trust the power of light!”

While everyone was whispering.

The Chief Archmage, Akwhite, looked up at the sky, and golden divine light suddenly flickered in his eyes.

“Light Attendant, you may begin.”

Ex’s heart trembled upon hearing this.

He had no confidence in the Holy Temple’s plan, but having come this far, he had to believe no matter what.

“Winnie, send out the order, act immediately!”

Following Ex’s command.

In reality.

All those in North America who had not logged in had their phones vibrate simultaneously, receiving a message.

“The Lord is omnipotent.”

“The Lord cares for the world.”

“Pray!”

“The God Chosen’s judgment will swiftly descend....”

“All rewards and punishments in the world are in the hands of the God Chosen. The Lord will surely repay each person according to their deeds, with retribution....”

“Repent!”

......

New York County, Fifth Avenue.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

“Heh, I think you’re crazy, aren’t you?”

The hot dog vendor on the street impatiently turned off his phone; he obviously didn’t believe it, but he had to admit that business at the church entrance had been really good lately.

As the God Chosen’s glory spread, more and more people came to pray and repent.

At this moment.

The people inside the church, looking at their phones, immediately began to pray.

“Lord... I repent... I am guilty......”

As the prayers grew louder, they soon spread outside the church.

Those who also received the message were still bewildered at this moment, but in the next second, light gradually lit up in their eyes.

Not because of faith.

But because the top of the grand cathedral in front of them actually emitted a golden glow in broad daylight.

That light.

Holy and flawless.

That light.

Purified the soul.

That light gradually... became even brighter than the sun!

“Holy shit, is this a miracle?!”

The hot dog vendor was so scared that he immediately took off his hat, bowed his head, and with trembling hands pressed to his chest, he stammered in repentance: “I’m sorry, my Lord, I am guilty. I shouldn’t have killed someone for a trivial matter back then... But I can assure you, it was all an accident, and I’ve been in prison for over ten years, so it counts as atonement, right...”

Before he finished speaking, a golden pillar of light gathered at the top of the grand cathedral, engulfing him.

“Ah~!!!”

The vendor let out a tragic scream on the street.

Light!

Incredibly hot! Burning skin! Purifying the soul!

The vendor was almost directly burned alive, with black smoke rising from his entire body.

In just one breath.

The holy light dissipated.

The vendor, however, seemed to have gone through a world. His entire skin was scorched black, and he knelt weakly on the ground. On his almost unrecognizable face, his eyes were open, already black, charred beads, but he saw the light and kept chanting.

“Thank the Lord for his mercy, I know my sin... I repent...”

On the entire street, hundreds of people witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and everyone’s eyes held the same shock.

“A miracle!”

“The God Chosen has truly displayed his glory!”

“I said long ago that the Lord’s judgment would come sooner or later!”

“The God Chosen will surely descend upon the world with his glory, to judge all living beings and confirm that all impious and presumptuous acts are indeed sins~!!!”

At the same time.

Miracles descended upon churches throughout North America.

One church after another lit up with incredibly sacred golden light. Some judgments were carried out immediately, and some rewards were given out immediately.

“My illness is cured?”

“Really!”

“Thank the Lord for his mercy...”

“I can see, I can really see... I see the Lord’s glory!”

“The Lord... is omnipresent!!”

Some were excited, some were thrilled, and more people witnessed it, then began to pray devoutly.

Even.

Inside the International Space Station orbiting in space, several astronauts saw those beams of sacred light piercing the sky.

In a trance.

It was as if a torch had been lit on Blue Star, finally able to overshadow the sun and declare its existence to the entire universe.

On the other side.

eternal.

The information feeds of countless players were instantly flooded with this explosive news.

“What the hell?”

“Where did you come from, kid? Is this still Blue Star?”

“I don’t believe it, this kind of miracle obviously looks fake.”

“Come on!”

“If you’ve got the guts, strike me down. Really...”

Few players in the Astra Empire believed it.

But, there were always those who did.

And some large guilds even built churches in their strongholds and arranged for people to pray.

Just like in reality.

All the God Chosen churches radiated golden light at this moment.

Unlike reality.

The church light in eternal was even more brilliant.

Among them.

The light from the Endless Glory Grand Cathedral in God Chosen Plaza was the most dazzling.

That golden beam of light.

Seemed to pierce the sky, soaring straight to the ends of the heavens......

[Ding!]

[System Announcement!]

[God Chosen Ex, using the power of the Lord of Holy Radiance, has opened a teleportation channel to the Astra Empire, connecting the Eternal Continent again after many years of separation!]

[God Chosen Ex, with outstanding meritorious service, has been promoted to Light Attendant, and the Lord of Holy Radiance grants him a one-tier talent increase.]

......

“What?”

“It’s a direct teleportation?”

“Amazing!”

“Guild Master Ex is truly divine~!!!”

“No, no, no~”

“It’s still the God Chosen who’s awesome. This wave is all a display of the God Chosen’s power, a miracle!”

“Of course, the God Chosen’s choice of people is also impeccable.”

“God Chosen Ex, I knew this combination was solid at first glance!”

“Where’s Demon Lord?”

“Tell him to come out!”

“Doesn’t he like to spam announcements?”

“Why isn’t he spamming now?”

“Heh, I’m dying of laughter. As expected, in a backward place like East Continent, it’s impossible to have a cross-era genius.”

“Demon Lord makes a fuss, but he’s just acting tough in his own den, isn’t he?”

“Can he change eternal?”

“Can he change the world?”

“Can he connect two continents, link the entire eternal, and become a supreme, glorious God Chosen?”

“I think you Chinese players should reflect carefully on why others do things that benefit the whole world, while you only know how to fight and kill?”

[System Announcement!]

[Due to Demon Lord’s repeated use of the cross-realm function, abnormal real-world data has occurred. eternal will immediately enable the cross-realm function. This update is estimated to take... 24 hours.]

[Update contents are as follows:]

[1. The time flow rate between the real world and the eternal world will be adjusted from 1:2 to 1:4.]

[2. Cross-realm function enabled. Players are to explore specific creation methods themselves.]

[3. National War function enabled...]

[4. New real-world account added...]

[5. New function: Soul Binding (After binding, players achieve soul unity in eternal and reality, allowing login without a helmet, and soul-related abilities gained by players in eternal can be reflected in reality without cross-realm travel.)]

[6. Other new content added...]

[Friendly reminder: After soul binding, eternal will add an unfixable bug. If a player’s soul suffers a complete death due to special mechanisms in eternal (sealing, extraction, exile, annihilation, etc...), it may also lead to the death or coma of their real-world body. Players should choose carefully.]

.......

“What?”

“When did Demon Lord secretly cross realms?”

“Hahahaha!”

“Secretly? Videos on Douyin have been blasting the entire internet for several hours. You don’t know? Is your house without internet?”

“Oh~”

“You were busy praying at home, right?”

“Praying for the God Chosen to give you an SSS-rank talent, right?”

“Dying of laughter.”

“You keep praying, maybe it really works?”

Players from both sides were cursing at the top of the forum, but more people were paying attention to the update content.

“But then again, this update is too insane?”

“Every single piece of content is a super major update.”

“Cross-realm, the most important function.”

“If I could have Demon Lord’s abilities, I’d truly be invincible, wouldn’t I?”

“And National War!”

“The two continents aren’t really going to fight, are they?”

“By the way, what does this real-world account mean?”

“Do we have accounts in reality too? Where do I create one? I really don’t want this current account. Can you create a new one for me, please~”

“Bullshit!”

“The most crucial part is the soul binding later.”

“This is the only benefit for us ordinary players in so many game updates, isn’t it?”

“No cross-realm items needed, no quests, as long as it’s a soul-related improvement, it automatically crosses realms. What if I learn a psychic ability? Wouldn’t I just take off in reality?”

“Speaking of soul abilities, there are too many. Does out-of-body travel count?”

“Does soul cultivation’s substitute technique work?”

“There are too many ideas for this soul cross-realm. Wow, I feel like I’m going to grow a brain...”

“Bind, must bind!”

“Actually, whether you bind or not, I don’t care. I just want to see if those players who are doing pretty well in their little lives will actually bind.”

“Really.”

“I advise them not to look at the warning in the announcement and just bind directly.”

“We’re all men, what’s there to fear?”

“Demon Lord’s Hell Black Flame might not actually kill people in reality!”

“Hahahaha, I’m really dying of laughter. Demon Lord is probably spacing out somewhere, and then the version update directly smacks him in the face with a super buff!”

“Speechless.”

“His Hell Black Flame was already abnormal, and this update not only didn’t nerf it, but actually buffed it?”

“Yeah, the more I think about it, the more awesome it is. The child of the version has appeared, absolutely T0, the only one!”

“Damn it!”

“If I bind my soul, I’ll have to kneel whenever I see Demon Lord from now on. Don’t ask why, just ask because I like to look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle!”

“Tsk~”

“If Demon Lord really wanted to kill you, would he need binding?”

“Did you forget, he’s already enabled cross-realm, alright!”

“Hiss....”

“Invincible!”

“I can only say, Demon Lord is truly invincible...!!”

......

Sea State.

Holiday Inn.

The room was a mess...

Anyone who saw it at a glance would probably think it was the scene of a brutal murder.

None of the luxurious furnishings in the hotel were intact.

Tables, chairs, beds, coffee tables, all scattered.

To be honest.

Even if two tigers were locked up and fought for three days, it probably wouldn’t be this brutal.

In the bathroom.

The sound of water splashing could be heard.

Lin Ye stood under the shower, looking coldly at Oriental Pride Snow next to him.

In those clear eyes, there was no hatred at this moment, only a single word of will... and that was to fight!!!

“Still not convinced?”

“Let’s go another round!”
