Chapter 67 Endgame
Opening his eyes again, Ning Yuan found himself in a room.

The room as a whole adopts a simple combination of straight lines and diagonal lines, but the decoration of marble slabs and gold and silver threads makes the whole room full of luxury.

He sat on the leather sofa, and the soft touch of the sofa made him feel as if he was lying on a cloud.

"here it is……"

He recognizes it.

This is the hotel he was sent to after accepting the contract from the Mountain Star Border Company.

It is not far from Yuanxu TUBE head office.

It was still the same room, but different.

When I came here last time, there were no gold and silver threads in the room.

Why are you here?
He stood up and looked around the room, but found nothing.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After three beeps, a man pushed the door open and walked in, wearing a hotel uniform and pushing a dining car.

Ning Yuan recognized him.

This waiter was the one who brought him the "Prajna Prajna Getting Rich Sutra".

"Hello, Ning Yuan."

Ning Yuan thought for a while and responded, "Hello, Gegemu."

"Actually, I'm not Gegemu." The man smiled and said, "Not from the beginning."

"Then you are..."

"You should have heard my name." The man closed the door and said, "My name is Alan Lucar, do you have any impression?"

Alan Lucar...

Ning Yuan pondered for a few seconds before recalling the name.

"Are you the Guardian God King of the Land Abandoned by God?"

He clearly remembered that the temples that were given to the Land Abandoned by the Gods were called the Temples of Alan Lucar.

"It's me." Alan Lucar nodded, took off his hat, and said, "I used Gegemu to send you the message, and I helped you see the truth."

"Thank you, but why did you help me?" Ning Yuan asked in confusion.

"This is a long story. I really want to tell you, but now is not the time to talk. Ducalda will find me soon." Alan Lucar said: "To save two worlds , to save your companion, the action must be fast."

"what should I do?"

Although Ning Yuan was not sure of Alan Lucar's true intentions, judging from the current situation, he had helped him twice.

Anyway, there is no better way, it is better to listen to what he has to say.

"Perhaps you have already realized it." Alan Lucar said: "The world nested in your body is actually the land abandoned by God."

Ning Yuan nodded: "I can guess that the Land Abandoned by the Gods is the compatible zone between you and our world. Only there can this world run."

"Yes, you are right." Alan Lucar said: "The Land Abandoned by the Gods was originally the port of the world of Ducalda, and it was also the first area to be polluted, and I am the real goalkeeper of the world of Ducalda. "

"You are the matrix of all Glo Eiffel?"

Ning Yuan recalled what happened when he broke through the gate of the church. At that time, he searched for Glo Eiffel's shadow, found this behemoth, and used his shadow to transfer it.

Apparently that was Alan Lucar.

Not only that, what I felt just now, the monster linking the whole world must also be him.

"That's right." Alan Lucar nodded: "It's also the real owner of the Land Abandoned by God."

"The owner of the Land Abandoned by God?"

"That's right, because of this, I was able to enter the world created by Ducalda and unblock Ducalda's information on your main control for you."

Ning Yuan thought for a while, then asked in surprise, "The Book of Getting Rich?"

"That's right, the source of information outside the information prison is a sharp weapon to effectively pierce the cocoon." Alan Lucar said: "I implanted a lot of garbled codes in that book of getting rich, so that you can break through the blockade, See the truth."

"So that's the case." Ning Yuan suddenly realized.

"Okay, this is the end of the chat." Alan Lucar said: "Although the mapping relationship between this world and your world has been disrupted, there are still rules to follow. Through my authority, you can interfere with the The real world, but..."

"but what?"

"But you only have one chance." Alan Lucar said: "Because of the past, my authority has always been blank, but now, I want to use that authority, which means he will find out."

"After he found out..." Ning Yuan gritted his teeth: "With his mind, he will absolutely block this road completely."

"Now he has realized the abnormality." Alan Lucar said: "Remember, there is only one chance."

"Then what shall I do?"

"To be honest, I don't know." Alan Lucar shook his head: "Because of the past, my vision has been limited, so I can't know how to break the situation, otherwise I will give you accurate guidance."

"But..." Ning Yuan frowned tightly: "I don't know how to break the game!"

"You will definitely have a way." Alan Lucar said: "I really like what you said in God's Abandoned Land, to create a world where all creatures can realize their dreams. I have dreamed of such a world... Unfortunately, Failed."

"..." Ning Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked: "Then there must be some hints."

Alan Lucar thought for a while and said: "If you want to say, there is really one... You were indeed deleted in the land abandoned by the gods, but because it was a quick format, it was not completely deleted, so your flesh and blood The body is still there."

"Flesh and blood?" Ning Yuan said, "Isn't my flesh and blood in the real Yuan Ruins?"

"Your flesh and blood are both in the Abyss Ruins and in the Land Abandoned by God."

"Ah?" Ning Yuan looked at Alan Lucar suspiciously: "This..."

"The so-called reality is just the evolution of the information system." Alan Lucar said: "There is no boundary between false and real between you and the land abandoned by the gods. Your game is a reflection of each other in the two worlds. Reflections are all real."

"Can you elaborate?"

"I'm sorry, I can't." Alan Lucar said with a wry smile: "I really, really want to tell you more, but Ducalda won't give this time, Ning Yuan, hold on, this is your only Opportunity."

"I……"

Before Ning Yuan could react, Alan Lucar took out the scripture.

"Prajna Prajna Gets Rich Sutra".

Then the scriptures transformed into a piece of paper.

He recognized the paper. It was... Ronigan's farewell poem!

I see……

The paper was natural without fire, and as the golden flames flowed, he found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

A luxurious hotel suite becomes an open-air plaza.

There is a small lecture table in front of him, and three microphones are erected on the table.

Not far away, there were many reporters with pale and distorted limbs. They assumed the camera equipment, looked at themselves with expectant eyes, and looked forward to what they said.

Behind the reporter, countless twisted pale monsters cheered and shouted their names.

This is a press conference?
I am speaking...

It seems that Dukarda is increasing his influence without restraint.

He wiggled his fingers and succeeded.

It seems that now I can completely control my body.

So what should I do now?
Continue to lower your popularity?
Useless.

Looking at the twisted and mutated humans below, Dukarda's plan is coming to an end!
No matter how much I lower my reputation, it's useless, not to mention whether I can lower it with a single speech under the impetus of countless interests today.

Even if it can go down, so what?
There are already enough nodes in Dukarda, and he can promote the plan without using his own fame!

This doesn't work.

Then the options are few and far between.

"Ning Yuan!" Dukarda's voice echoed in his mind: "You... how did you get here?"

Ning Yuan ignored Dukarda, he continued to think about countermeasures.

"you……"

After a while, Ducalda's angry roar resounded in his mind: "Alan Lucar!"

Ning Yuan covered his head, a countermeasure appeared in his head.

send Message.

Send a message to let others save the field.

To whom?

Ning Lin?

He quickly called up his information system, flipped through it, and found Ning Lin's profile picture.

Clicking on Ning Lin's avatar, Ning Yuan found a lot of information exchanges in the historical information.

Du Calda asked Ning Lin to help him do a lot of things, investigate opponents, accuse councilors, assassinate threats...

Hey!
Isn't my broken brother completely controlled by Dukarda!
He can't.

At this time, the reporter below asked: "Ning Yuan, after Ms. Casper's death, everyone unanimously asked you to succeed Yuanxu President. How do you feel?"

Feelings?

no……

Casper who likes to play queen is dead?
Died...became president himself...

Dukarta, you are so ruthless.

wrong.

You shouldn't think about these things, Ning Lin can't...

correct!

Rowling!

The behind-the-scenes person of the game company is plotting against Dukarda's players. She should have a way to return from the temple.

"Ning Yuan! Even if Alan Lucar helps you, so what?" Du Calda's voice came with anger: "That trash has already failed, and you will repeat his mistakes!"

"Haha, Dukarta, this is the first time you've gotten angry."

Ning Yuan smiled, and then edited a message to Rowling.

"Dukalda Temple is invading the world of Yuanxu, we are all in the information world..."

However, the newly edited message failed to be sent.

what happened?

Did Karda disable the information system of the main control?

After a while, the master control sent a message.

"...loading protection software: 'Alan Lucar's Blessing'..."

"...The protection software is loaded successfully..."

"...Warning! It has been detected that the information system is being tampered with..."

"...Warning! Protection failed!..."

"...reading new software program..."

"...Loading protection software: 'Go to hell, Dukarda' loaded successfully..."

"...The firewall protection is successful..."

"Alan Lucar! You really linger!" Ducalda's angry roar circled in Ning Yuan's mind, shaking his head numb.

Ning Yuan didn't reply, he continued to edit the message and clicked send.

"...The message was sent successfully..."

"...reading new software program..."

"...Software program: 'Ningyuan, kill Dukarda' successfully loaded..."

"...An abnormal data packet return was detected, and the transmission protocol of the network server was tampered with..."

"...reading the echo packet..."

"... AI intelligent blockade detected..."

"...read a message..."

"...Ning Yuan, I tried to block Dukarda's actions, but he set up a big data keyword blockade, and tried to bypass the keywords..."

Bypass keywords?
Key words……

"Rowling, you are still in the temple!"

"...information is blocked..."

"Rowling, check your own source quality..."

"...information is blocked..."

This is……

"Ning Yuan, don't struggle fearlessly." Dukarta said, "I have completely controlled your mind, you can't escape from my palm!"

"Control my mind? Oh, stop kidding!"

Ning Yuan sneered.

My thinking is still in my own hands, otherwise there would be no invasion.

At such a critical moment, Dukarta still wanted to interfere with his thoughts?

Do I really think I am so stupid...

Bypass keywords...

The key word is god horse?

He immediately thought of a bunch of them.

Dukarta, the temple, the double world, the essence, the holy spirit of heaven... Damn, there are too many!
This damn blocking mechanism!

Hey!
correct!

He suddenly remembered the story Stuart told himself when he was joking, the extra-dimensional toilet made by the Dahl school.

The super-space toilet needs to be equipped with a paper diaper weighing about [-] tons in order to throw excrement into the super-space toilet.

In order to wipe the buttocks, a professional needs to descend into a different time and space in order to wipe the buttocks accurately.

Isn't that what I am now!

The head is in the world of Yuanxu, the legs are in the land abandoned by the gods, and the buttocks are in the temple of Dukarda.

He needs a professional to clean his ass!

Simply, he sent the paper directly.

Then a paragraph was attached: Rowling, come and wipe my ass!

Although I don't know if it will work, I hope... Rowling can understand.

She probably doesn't want all of Kaldad to go to Shenyuan Ruins.

After sending the message, Ning Yuan felt that his body was out of control, and his vision gradually became dark.

In the end, his consciousness fell into chaos.

When you wake up again.

He found that his vision was split.

One side of the field of vision is Zage's hospital. Brain freak Zage and Big K are looking at him curiously, expecting what he will say.

The view from the other side was the press conference. The audience was full of distorted and mutated reporters and crowds, who also looked at him expectantly.

what happened?

There are too many card bugs, have you disabled your card?
Ning Yuan stood up and staggered up.

He staggered as he struggled to see because his vision was blocked to one side.

He looked at Zage and Big K, and was about to say something, but he said to himself: "Ning Yuan! Originally, I wanted to enjoy myself in the false world, but now, I want to completely eradicate your obstacle !"

"What? What did you say?" Big K asked suspiciously.

"Dukalda, as I said, I will make you ashes!" Ning Yuan also shot back: "I said from the beginning, I will not let your plan succeed."

The words were spoken, but the sound was conveyed to another world.

The reporters below asked curiously: "Who is Ducalda? Why should he be beaten to ashes?"

"I..." Dukarda was silent for a moment, and then said loudly: "Ning Yuan, I will let you die right now without a place to bury you!"

After speaking, Ning Yuan felt the world tremble.

Ning Yuan was startled by this familiar tremor.

He waved his hands to Big K and Zage, then hurried out of the house, using his shadow to control himself to fly to the tall building, looking into the distance.

In the distance, the walls of the Grand Canyon of Bravil... are collapsing.

Several pure white tornado storms raged in the lower area of ​​Braville.

This is... the deletion program for the Land Abandoned by God!

Ning Yuan punched the wall angrily, Dukarda really wanted to annihilate himself completely!

At the beginning, in the land abandoned by the gods, what I suffered was quick formatting.

He knows that the formatter just marks the disk as blank, but the data is still stored on the disk and can be recovered.

But this storm is completely deleted.

Complete deletion is to fill the entire disk with the number 0, so that everything is zeroed, and there is no chance of data recovery.

There is no doubt that it was annihilated by that storm.

I really, truly disappeared from the world forever!
This shit.

"Ning Yuan, just follow the annihilation storm and disappear into nothingness." Ducalda said, "I originally wanted to keep this world as an emergency mechanism, but it seems that the plan is now unnecessary."

"you……"

"You, and Alan Lucar behind you, go to hell." Ducalda laughed and said, "I will become the master of the two worlds."

"..."

Ning originally wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn't say anything.

After a while.

He found himself speaking.

"Dear friends from the press, I'm sorry, I just laughed. Ducalda is a close friend of mine. Today is my big day. He just played tricks on me."

"Don't talk about this. Friends from the press, let me get straight to the point."

"The press conference is held today to announce one thing. Your guess is correct."

"I am about to assume the post of President of Yuanxu."

"Ms. Casper's departure makes everyone very sad. She was a woman of great service and was kind to me."

"To repay her, I apprehended the culprit, Ludwin Allen. He is a demon to the core."

"..."

"I will promise here that I will inherit Ms. Casper's will and work hard to change the entire Yuanxu and make Yuanxu a paradise on earth that everyone yearns for!"

After speaking, the crowd in the audience cheered and jumped up.

Their limbs are rapidly twisting and expanding, and their faces are covered with golden and silver scars, these scars are twisted into beautiful patterns, inlaid on the limbs.

Then there was a violent vibration in the whole space.

In the distance, a high city wall rose from the ground, sometimes empty and sometimes solid.

It is the Temple of Dukarda!

In the sky above the temple, a phantom of a warrior in heavy armor slowly appeared. He towered above the sky and was extremely huge. This was Dukarda's true body.

At this moment, he finally ascended to Shenyuan Ruins.

On the other side, the annihilation storm also quickly swept across the earth, turning the lower area of ​​Bravel into a white awn.

People were running away in a panic, dense crowds filled the streets and alleys, and there were gunshots from time to time.

All kinds of cars, floating cars, motorcycles... and other vehicles filled the ground and sky. They ran wildly on the road and killed many innocent pedestrians.

Now, the two worlds are approaching the final outcome in two different ways.

Watching the temple in one side's field of vision getting more and more solid, and then looking at the white storm approaching on the other side.

Ning Yuan knew.

If you don't do something else.

It's all over!
Looking at the panicked crowd below and the magnificent temple in the distance, he smiled wryly and sighed.

It seems that I can't wait for Rowling to act.

This must be resolved now.

He closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and returned to Zage's hospital.

At this time, Zage's hospital was already full of people, most of these people were injured because of the panic trampled by the crowd, and Zage was leading the doctors to treat them.

Although the end is near, these doctors still maintain their professional ethics and treat patients as much as possible.

The members of the Big K gang also assisted in controlling the field, calming down these injured people.

Seeing Ning Yuan approaching, Za Ge and Big K approached, Big K asked anxiously: "What's going on? Ning Yuan, do you know something?"

"Yes." Ning Yuan nodded and said, "I know, but time is running out, Big K, give me a gun."

"..." Big K looked at Ning Yuan, was silent for a moment, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and handed it to Ning Yuan.

"Zapge, prepare a thinking matrix for me."

"Ok."

……

After a while, Ning Yuan lay down in the thinking matrix again, but this time, his consciousness remained clear.

The thinking matrix hummed, and he once again felt the huge body of Alan Lucar and the real Yuanxu.

He drove Zage and Big K out, then put the pistol on his chin, and closed his eyes.

This is his last resort.

self-defeating.

Through the shadow, you can run the bullets into the two worlds synchronously and let yourself die.

Compared with the moment of his death, this crisis will be resolved.

The muzzle of the gun was very cold to the touch, bitingly cold, and he began to recall his whole life in his mind.

Hey ~
After playing a game, it ended like this.

This world is really dangerous.

At the same time, Dukarta's voice came: "Are you really going to do this?"

Ning Yuan smiled wryly: "I should have done this just now."

"In this case, you will die."

"If death can end your plan, then I am willing to die."

"Why, why did you do this for a world that doesn't love you at all?" Ducalda said, "Wouldn't it be nice for me to give him a new life in such a cruel and cruel world?"

Immediately afterwards, Dukarda said: "You humans have many shortcomings, greed, violence, cold-blooded, arrogance... Let me change your race, okay? Everyone will become a part of me, and there will be no class from now on. No disputes, no betrayals, nothing bad..."

Ning Yuan interrupted him: "Heh, although human beings have endless shortcomings, the fate of human beings has always been controlled by human beings themselves."

"Human beings...need a god." Ducalda said, "Your society is committing suicide."

"No, human beings don't need it." Ning Yuan said: "Human beings have never needed it. Throughout the ages, there has never been a day of needing it."

"Ning Yuan..."

"Dukalda, look down at your own world, there is also full of contention, desire, and disputes, but you, as the final product, never see it."

Ning Yuan continued calmly: "Limited resources are destined to give birth to such a world, violent and ruthless, this is nature. But in such an environment, human beings are still progressing and reborn in the fire, while your world is already dead .”

"It seems that you have made up your mind." Ducalda sighed and said, "Hey, it's a failure."

"I'm sorry, Stuart, it seems that I have no way to bring you back." Ning Yuan closed his eyes and muttered, "I'm sorry, Monina, Bei Fengliang...I've screwed you all to death."

"The fear of death is not so easy to overcome." Ducalda said: "If you put away your gun, I will stop and annihilate the storm."

"Don't try to delay!"

Ning Yuan snorted coldly, flipped the safety switch, and pressed the hammer.

"Hey~ well, this is your choice." Ducalda said helplessly.

Ning Yuan glanced at the majestic temple in his vision, he knew that if he didn't pull the trigger at this time, it would be too late.

He flicked the trigger slightly, closed his eyes and waited for the end.

At the last moment, however, he stopped his fingers.

Then he said with a wry smile: "My suicide is what you were looking forward to, Dukarta!"

"You..." Dukarta's voice paused for a moment, and then he smiled: "Ning Yuan, you really made me lose all the fun in the end."

"It seems that I guessed it right. My suicide is the key to completely liberating you."

Ning Yuan sat up, pulled out the magazine, unloaded the loaded bullets, and angrily threw the pistol to the ground, making two loud bangs.

At the moment of dying, his brain was working rapidly, allowing him to see clearly the truth hidden behind some mist.

Over the past few days, he has been ignoring a problem.

That's how Dukarta took control of his mind.

After all, I come from Yuanxu, which is a very serious pollution to the world of Dukarda!
It is impossible for him to cross this pollution and directly touch his own thinking. After all, he is not like Stuart, who carries the source quality that can be manipulated by him.

The problem is with deletion.

In the Land Abandoned by God, he was indeed quick-formatted and deleted.

Immediately afterwards, Stuart restored his own data, which was equivalent to resurrection.

But after the resurrection, it wasn't me at all!
At least not quite himself, but a Holy Spirit!
Not only himself, but also Monina, Bei Fengliang and others, they all became the Holy Spirit.

Because the data used for data recovery is the source quality of the holy spirit of the kingdom of heaven. At that time, what made up itself was the source quality of the ancient gods.

So in the temple, Dukarda can touch and manipulate himself stably.

Because all he has to do is to inject Dukarda's authority system into himself.

After being deleted, data recovery is the key to start all this!

Immediately afterwards, in the temple, Dukarda inserted authority into himself, and his avatar of the holy spirit in the temple became a port.

Through this port and the mutual reflection between my physical body in the Land Abandoned by the Gods and in the Yuanxu.

After going through such complicated means, he can manipulate his mind without any pollution!

At this moment, Ning Yuan finally sorted out the context of this ancient god game.

First, he matched himself with Bei Fengliang, who was at the peak of popularity.

Then infinitely magnify his desire to be popular, and then get stuck in the entrance of the ancient god space.

Then tamper with his memory to make himself think that he entered the God's Forsaken Land with Sandy Card.

Then, after entering the space of the ancient gods, let yourself find a way to activate the quick format of the land abandoned by the gods, so that you can be deleted.

After he was resurrected in the world of Ducalda and became the holy spirit, he induced himself to enter the temple and injected authority into himself.

Immediately afterwards, the original game world was transformed into a virtual world superimposed on the real Abyss Ruins.

Using my own abilities and the observer network of the game company, I turned myself into the entrance of the game. As long as I have popularity, people who follow me will enter the game and be infected by the source quality.

After the source quality has been infested to a certain extent, Dukarda activates the foreshadowing of Sandy, allowing himself to split the world and end the mapping between the game and reality.

At the same time, his injection of authority to himself has reached its peak, and he can completely control his body in Yuanxu.

So he decisively kicked himself away, increasing his popularity even more crazily, causing more people to be polluted.

Finally, induce yourself to commit suicide.

Because after he committed suicide, the effect of the ability would end.

After all, his own ability is the shadow imperial object, which has the same effect as Stuart, and can forcibly maintain his own stability when he is infected.

This is also the reason why everyone in Quanyuanxu has mutated, but he is still stable!

Now, as long as he commits suicide and the ability ends, he will be completely liberated.

Because on the Abyss Ruins side, the superior node of all human beings is still himself. If Dukarda wants to go to the Shenyuan Ruins, he must... let himself be him.

Thus, the ability becomes a lock.

After death, his body will become Dukarta.

Dukarta will go to Shenyuan Ruins.

It's really a set of horror serials.

Ning Yuan felt terrified.

Now, even if he doesn't commit suicide, the Annihilation Storm will crush him to achieve the same effect.

So far, nothing has escaped Ducalda's control in this series of calculations.

Except... the message I sent to Rowling.

But can Rowling really read her own metaphors?
Is Rowling doing well?

He doesn't know, and has no way of knowing, even if he holds hope, it also implies despair.

He is looking forward to the birth of a miracle, but also knows that under Murphy's Law, all bad things will happen.

Nervousness, anxiety, timidity, panic, a lot of negative emotions came to my mind.

At this moment, he finally realized one thing.

What is more feared than death?
You can't live, you can't die.

He can neither die nor live.

If he died, Yuan Ruins would be breached and everything would be destroyed.

And alive, he will eventually be distorted into Karda!
The lock of abilities will eventually be unlocked after a long time.

Perhaps it is the best choice to let yourself be annihilated in this storm and not care about your affairs.

It's really... hopeless.

The storm was getting closer and closer to the hospital where he was, and he could clearly hear the cries of people through the sneak cabin.

Perhaps, it's over here.

At the moment of his despair, a message came from the master control.

"Cross toilet... haha, this paper made me and Gary laugh for half a year."

After this message, he suddenly felt a new body.

The body of the holy spirit in the temple of Ducalda!
Feeling this body, he smiled freely.

really!

I predicted it right!

At this moment, Rowling's voice rang in Ning Yuan's ear: "Ning Yuan, you only have one chance."

once?

enough!
He decisively activated the source quality chip on his body.

The moment he connected to the body of the holy spirit, he finally felt the restlessness of the source quality chip on his body.

Finally, let me find this source quality chip!

Ancient God?

We must use the ancient gods to fight!

"...The chip 'Eternal Night Styx' started successfully..."

Afterwards, Ning Yuan arrived at the familiar Black Sea.

The dark ocean is slightly rippling, heralding the sweetness of the eternal night dream.

Following the bright belt of aurora in the sky, he stepped on the beach all the way to the seaside.

The sea was shrouded in mist, and the screams of strange birds resounded throughout the world.

Standing by the seaside, looking at the body covered in fog in the distance, he sighed: "It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time, Yong Ye."

Then, he took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Gangzetuya! This is the Royal Army of Yulukar Rosensfrost, and there are new orders!"

A violent sound shook the entire space, and the black sea was calm, but there were huge waves.

The dense fog in the air was also blown away by the strong wind.

The tall palm trees by the sea danced wildly like an electric shock, and the seabirds hovering in the sky uttered screams and fell into the black sea.

The gravel was trembling non-stop, Yong Ye opened those huge eyeballs, staring at Ning Yuan firmly.

"This is Gangzetuya, what is the order?"

Immediately, Ning Yuan felt endless pressure on his body, he used his supernatural ability to stabilize his body, squeezed out all his strength and shouted loudly:

"Cannonball Dukarda!"
