Chapter 579 The Ultimate Answer to the Ancient RPG Game: Dead Heroine
Looking at the three options, Mo Hao's mind quickly recalled the various settings and data of the three artifacts.

These three artifacts are from the same series, and even their grades are at the same level.

Among the ten ancient artifacts, the Donghuang Bell, the Xuanyuan Sword, the Pangu Axe, the Demon Refining Pot, and the Haotian Tower are in the first tier and possess unparalleled power.

These five artifacts combined to form the [Void Array] can open up the road to the heavenly realm that has been blocked by the gods.

Fuxi Qin, Shennong Ding, Kongtong Seal, Kunlun Mirror, and Nuwa Stone are in the same tier. These artifacts do not have as strong power as the other five in combat, but they have various magical effects.

These five artifacts can be used to form the [Array of Loss]. The effects will vary depending on the artifact in the center.

Use the Kunlun Mirror as the center of the formation to travel through time and space.

Use the Fuxi Qin as the centerpiece of the formation to control the mind.

Use the Shennong Ding as the centerpiece of the formation to refine elixirs.

With Kongtong Seal as the core of the formation, one can gain immortality.

Use the Nuwa Stone as the center of the formation and regenerate the barrier.

Every artifact needs a guardian. If the artifact itself is in human form, it does not need a guardian. The guardian will forget the most important thing in his life after the formation is activated, hence the name "Lost Array".

During the late Sui Dynasty, the evil red star streaked across the sky, the demon world invaded China massively, China fell, and demons wreaked havoc on the world.

In order to reverse time and space, the protagonist Chen Jingchou and his group joined forces with Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Shubao to launch the [Lost Array] at the top of the Tower of Babel.

The very interesting point is that before launching the Lost Array, Li Shimin felt that his parents, brothers and family members were the most important things. This, combined with the subsequent history of Xuanwu Gate, is somewhat of a joke from hell.

There is also a formation created by the ancient god Fuxi, called the [Heavenly Lady's White Jade Wheel Formation]. It uses the two divine artifacts, the Fuxi Qin and the Nuwa Stone, as its core. It can resurrect people who have died no more than seven days ago, provided that both the soul and the body are present.

According to legend, Baiyu, the beloved daughter of Fuxi and Nuwa, unfortunately died of illness. Nuwa was heartbroken and Fuxi could not bear it.

Six days later, Fuxi worked tirelessly to design this formation, which successfully resurrected their dead daughter Baiyu.

As long as the person has died within seven days and his soul has not yet been reincarnated as a human, he can be resurrected through this formation.

The Heavenly Maiden's White Jade Wheel is the only way to resurrect the dead, but it also requires two treasures to provide them with the heart and life needed for the resurrection of the dead. So Fuxi used jade and heavenly silk to make the Fuxi Qin, and Nuwa poured her ten thousand years of cultivation into a colorful jade left over from mending the sky. Since then, the spiritual stone has possessed special powers and is called the Nuwa Stone.

The Fuxi Qin provides the heart, and the Nuwa Stone provides the life to drive this formation.

The protagonist and his companions used this formation to resurrect the dead second female character Tuoba Yuer, but the price was that the first female character Yu Xiaoxue, who was the reincarnation of Nuwa Stone, consumed a lot of spiritual power. After repairing the Shenzhou barrier, she lost all her spiritual power and turned back into a stone.

This is also a kind of industry practice.

In that era, the protagonist of the game usually had a great cause of saving the people and the world, but he was also concerned about the love between men and women.

So the question is, how can we make the protagonist abandon his small self and achieve the big self?

Answer: The dead heroine.

How does a hero who is destined to achieve great things welcome the turning point of his fate? Answer: The heroine dies.

When it comes to a love story that is tangled and complicated, how can you find your own ending?
Answer: The dead heroine.

When the first half of a game depicts a warm and sweet story, how should it develop so that it can make players heartbroken and unforgettable?

The answer is still the dead heroine.

At that time, the dead heroine was the ultimate answer to old-school RPG games.

The heroine died in The Legend of Sword and Fairy, the heroine died in Xuan-Yuan Sword, and the heroine died in Tiandi Jie. As far as Mo Hao can remember, there was no heroine in any game produced during that era who could actually survive to the end.

There are even some extreme cases where even the male protagonist has to die.

His thoughts were distracted for a moment, and Mo Hao's mind returned to the options before him.

The Kongtong Seal was the first to be excluded. In [Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky], it was the guardian artifact of the Di people in the East China Sea. After Xuan-Yuan Swordsman He Ran became an immortal, he used the Kongtong Seal to set up an "eternal youth barrier" for the Di people at the end of the Qin Dynasty to keep the Di people's faces youthful.

But the effect of this thing is only to maintain youth. The people of the Shi people will still die when their lifespan reaches a certain limit, and may even be eaten by the Black Dragon King as a snack.

Considering Mo Hao's own strength, he doesn't need to consider the issues of youth and longevity for a long time. This artifact is just a waste to him.

The next item to be eliminated is the Fuxi Qin, a musical instrument made by the god Fuxi using jade and silkworm silk. It is shaped like a guqin and is light pink in color with a soft white glow. Its sound can make people feel peaceful and calm, and can even purify the soul that has been contaminated by the devil's aura. It is said to have the mysterious power to control the minds of all things.

After defeating Chiyou, the ancient artifacts fell into the human world, among which the Fuxi Qin was kept by the Thousand Buddhas of Dunhuang.

Although the Fuxi Qin is not the most powerful artifact, its power to control the mind has attracted many people to search for it, but most of them have returned empty-handed. In order to prevent the Fuxi Qin from falling into the hands of those who want to seize it to achieve their ambitions, the Thousand Buddhas of Dunhuang rely on its power to control the minds of all things, so that anyone who comes to search for the Fuxi Qin will suffer a mental breakdown and die of severe brain pain.

During the Sui Dynasty, in order to seal the Scar of the Sky, Yuwen Tuo took out the Fuxi Qin from Dunhuang and arranged it into the "Lost Array". After successfully sealing the Red Star, Gu Yuesheng injected the soul of the Sui princess, the Western Demon General Dugu Ningke, into the Fuxi Qin. In order to purify her soul and fulfill her wish, Yuwen Tuo took her to the West and disappeared since then...

The power to control people's hearts is indeed extremely strong, but it has a flaw, a flaw that Mo Hao cannot avoid.

That is, if you want to drive the Fuxi Qin, you need to play the Qin.

The owner of the Fuxi Qin was Fuxi. One of his achievements was inventing musical instruments such as the pottery xun, qin and se, composing music and songs, and bringing music into people's lives.

According to Fuxi's standards, even an average person who can play the piano may not be able to drive this magical device.

Only a person with a natural talent for music and melody can play it.

Select [Shennong Ding].

Shennong Ding, the ancient cauldron used by Shennong to refine hundreds of medicines in the past. The cauldron contains the aura of countless spiritual medicines. The medicines refined from it can even eliminate the injuries caused by the Xuanyuan sword aura and other divine weapons.

And there is another reason, that is Murong Haitang wants to refine the medicine, and a powerful artifact may be able to help her succeed in refining it.

The moment the choice was made, countless green lights gathered in front of Mo Hao to form the outline of a large cauldron, and then the green light with strong vitality rushed straight into the sky.
