Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

"kill me!"

hiss!

Fang Mo gasped, his expression shifting several times before he suddenly raised his hand in a clenched fist under the watchful eyes of countless people.

[Ding! Player 'Zheng' has agreed to the trade and is trading you for five minutes of 'Drive' access.]

You have now entered the instance containing the attribute item: Lotus Platform.

The next moment, from everyone else's perspective, Qin Shang and the Bad Commander both disappeared. The two were directly surrounded by a dazzling pink lotus bud. The petals appeared out of thin air and enveloped them. Then, the two disappeared from the sight of countless players, including the Five Elders of the Inner Cabinet, or rather, the Six Elders of the Inner Cabinet. Everyone looked at the lotus platform with astonishment.

As for Qin Shang, who fell into the lotus platform, he looked surprised.

Five minutes of usage rights?

Isn't the driving force the core authority held by the Bad Commander?

Clearly, the Bad Commander wanted to have a private conversation with him.

Immediately, Fang Mo's voice reached Qin Shang's ears.

"With this, you can maintain your current adult form when you go back to the past, and not in the form of a soul, but in the form of a body."

"Otherwise, if you use [fake death], you'll go back to the corresponding time period and be your age. You don't want to be in 05, only five or six years old, unable to do anything but watch a group of strangers walk through the shadowy projection area, right? Besides, you at five or six years old can't enter the instance either."

"You want to see how the Divine Path came to this world, right? Then bring the 'Driver' with you. Anyway, you only have five minutes of usage rights. Once I find out that you have used up all five minutes of usage rights, the 'Driver' will be back in my hands. At that time, I will have collected enough core authority for the entire Second Region and then shut down the Divine Path server!"

Qin Shang raised an eyebrow in surprise. He hadn't expected that Fang Mo, the Bad Commander, knew him quite well. He had actually deduced Qin Shang's deepest plans and thoughts. They were all players at the Rule Realm, and the Bad Commander's level wasn't much higher than his own. He probably couldn't read Qin Shang's thoughts with [Overlooking].

"You're not from this world either!"

To Qin Shang's surprise, the Bad Commander Fang Mo actually nodded;

"I know, but I seem to be a little different from you all. For example, I always feel that I can resurrect an infinite number of times. Oh no, actually it's not that I feel it, it's a fact. To be honest, you might not believe it, but when I first became a player, I kept dying in dungeons, but I could resurrect. I would come back to life immediately after dying, just like playing a computer game. Hmm... that's also the secret to my super fast leveling speed."

Qin Shang was stunned.

That's it!

I was just saying that in the information I had seen before, there didn't seem to be a person named "Bad Guy" among the closed beta players. How come this person suddenly appeared after the open beta, quickly rose to fame, and eventually joined forces with several closed beta players to form the Bad Guys organization?

You're probably a bug.

Qin Yuyan and Fang Mo, the Bad Guy, were likely rivals in other worlds, the world they came from. Therefore, no matter how many times she reincarnated, she never wanted to interact with Fang Mo. This stemmed from an ingrained dislike or a kind of internal conflict. Perhaps the Bad Guy initially entered this comic world as a player because of their rivalry. It's possible that Qin Yuyan wanted to exploit the world's "Divine Path" mechanism to make Fang Mo a "Divine Path" player, only to have him die in the dungeon. However, some unforeseen accident occurred, causing Fang Mo to become a bug-like existence in this world. Ultimately, as time passed, he inadvertently became the Bad Guy in every reincarnation.

The next moment, Fang Mo sighed softly, his gaze becoming more profound.

"I was able to go back around the moment the server was shut down."

"They might also be trapped in this world..."

puff.

Qin Shang and Fang Mo exchanged a glance.

Smile at each other.

Then, Fang Mo shrugged indifferently; "I don't think so."

"The moment you handed me the 'computer,' I seemed to remember something. In my world, Qin Yuyan and her organization seemed to have plotted a conspiracy that could have hampered the entire world, but it was ultimately stopped by me and my colleagues from the National Security Bureau. Later, Qin Yuyan, who was now Xiao Wang, wanted to cause trouble again, and it seems to be about this 'Divine Path.' By chance, I should have been one of the first people to come here in that world, and I went back once in between."

"I initially thought it was a dream, but then I realized it didn't seem like a dream. If it was a dream, it felt too real. So I used the only computer I had to hack into Qin Yuyan's software and wrote a bug. Maybe it was this bug that caused me to become a Divine Path player after entering your world, but I never died in dungeons when I encountered danger. Instead, it was like playing a game where I always had the chance to revive..."

"So, I think I can go back!"

Qin Shang was stunned for a moment, then his pupils began to dilate slowly. He thought to himself, "So you really are the real beta tester!"

Is it really that engaging?

Is it possible to write a bug in another world that affects the Shenlu server?

"Then I wish you, and I wish myself, that our dreams come true!"

After saying that, he clicked his tongue and ignored Young Master Yin, who could be barely seen through the lotus platform and looked anxious outside. The usually aloof white-clad swordsman was now staring at the lotus platform with wide eyes, afraid that the Bad Commander would really harm Qin Shang!

However, those who are truly leaving will not say goodbye, because they will never see each other again.

Qin Shang knew that as long as he was alive, in any form, he could be resurrected or created by Qin Yuyan in another world using the server. There was only one way to end the damned "reincarnation" that Qin Yuyan talked about after Fang Mo shut down the God Path server and this cruel journey to godhood. That would be true death and annihilation, and make Qin Yuyan feel that there was no need to look for him anymore!

To die in a world without the Divine Path, to die when the Divine Path server shuts down.

To die alone in a world and time that holds no value to one another...

That way, all of this can end!

For example, if Fang Mo shuts down the Divine Path server today, then perhaps Qin Yuyan in this world can still use the corrupted instance and the shadow projection to go back to the past and find Qin Shang at some point in the past. However, the core authority in Qin Shang's hands will also become the possession of the Bad Commander 24 years later due to an "anchoring event." In other words, even if Qin Yuyan wants to do anything to cause trouble and reopen the Divine Path server in other parallel universes, at most the server will appear in 24 years. After 24 years, the entire server, and all the Divine Path servers in all the worlds radiated by the Divine Path, will be shut down.

Because this thing was in the hands of Fang Mo, the Bad Guy Commander, in 24, and Fang Mo shut down the server in 24!

In other words, even if Qin Yuyan were to reopen the server 24 years after it was shut down, she wouldn't be able to do it. At most, she could only take away the core power from Fang Mo in the current timeline. But here's the problem: the Divine Road server has already been shut down at this point in time, and Fang Mo no longer has any character cards for her to take away. The future is already set!

Moreover, even if she could seize it, with the server shut down, how could she possibly retrieve the core authority from the Bad Commander's character card?

This is where the bug comes in; all she can do is go back to the past.

Those who seized the core power from Qin Shang in the past, when he was still alive and left traces, what if Qin Shang also disappeared in those past times...?

This is a really horrible joke.

Because of the Mother Goddess, Qin Yuyan.

They will be completely locked up, along with the path of God, for the period from 05 to 24.

As for Qin Shang, he had already decided on his own fate.

He didn't want Jiang Qiqi to endure the anxiety of parting from time to time and meeting again occasionally. He had lost his memories, but not his imagination. He knew that a character like him, created out of thin air, shouldn't exist. Only when he ceased to exist would Qin Yuyan have no way or opportunity to revive him and start the first prologue of the cycle of reincarnation anew. And there was a prerequisite...

memory!

I cannot possess memories belonging to this world, nor can I possess any memories related to the Divine Path, including those of Jiang Qiqi!

I can't remember any of this. Only in this way can I avoid appearing in a woman's dream because of my longing for Jiang Qiqi, and thus prevent any possibility of the world being connected.

The next moment, Qin Shang looked at Fang Mo, his gaze showing no lingering affection.

"I've prepared a grand funeral for myself to mark the closure of the Shenlu server!"

Qin Yuyan!

You lost the game!

A smirk appeared on his lips.

Fang Mo knew that this meant he wanted him to send him on his way...

Immediately afterwards, everything went dark before Qin Shang's eyes!

……

From the perspective of other onlookers, the flower buds on the lotus platform slowly peeled away again, like withered petals and leaves, revealing the thin figure standing inside.

Only the Bad Guy Commander!?

Upon seeing this, Yin Shisan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"He reverted to a previous save file..."

Just then, Young Master Yin heard the low, faint voice of the Bad Boy Commander Fang Mo, and Young Master Yin was immediately startled; "Why?"

"He took the initiative!"

Upon hearing that it was Qin Shang who took the initiative, rather than the Bad Commander who killed his trusted henchman, Young Master Yin's emotions, which had been surging like oil on a hot fire, quickly subsided. Then, he felt as if something had been ripped out of his heart, as if something was missing, leaving him feeling empty for a moment.

Previously, Young Master Yin had noticed Qin Shang's strange and abnormal behavior; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked him that question that sounded like a farewell. As for Qin Shang's words to the Bad Commander before he was dragged into Lotus Lake Terrace, Young Master Yin had also heard him say "Kill me," which likely indicated that Qin Shang had already resolved to die and didn't want to live anymore, foreshadowing today's ending. This step he took at this moment was precisely the path Qin Shang himself had chosen.

But Young Master Yin didn't understand why, at that moment, a gust of wind blew by...

The pages of the comic book that Qin Shang had left for him were gently blown by the wind. Young Master Yin subconsciously opened the book and happened to turn to the last page. The picture on the page was of the lotus platform unfolding, revealing only the figure of the Bad Commander. A narration appeared next to it.

[This method is dedicated to eliminating the beta test fraudsters who harm ordinary people, the traitors of the Bad Guys organization, and licking the cockroach's jade feet.]

[When the cockroach-licking jade foot enters the past timeline, the Bad Commander shuts down the Divine Path server in the present moment. The cockroach-licking jade foot will be trapped in the past forever and lose the abilities of a Divine Path player. His destination is 2005. He wants to end his life with a car accident as his punishment...]

... (The End of Book)

Seeing the words "This book is finished," Yin Shisan frowned. Then, under his gaze, new scenes appeared on the next page. According to the logic of an artist creating a comic book, what followed would be the plot of the side stories!

As a result, Young Master Yin suddenly noticed that there was an extra sentence in the narration next to the scene where only the Bad Commander walked out of this dungeon attribute item on the lotus platform.

[Holy crap! What the hell?! They didn't die?!]
