Traveling through the game world

Earth, Hope City, the capital of the Chinese Empire

"Lianyang, is this your world?" Arthas looked at the skyscrapers in front of him, his eyes filled with amazement. This was a world completely different from the magical world.

"Yes, this is my home—Earth!" Lian Yang nodded, his face full of pride, and said, "How about it? It's a completely different world from Azeroth!"

"Hmm!" Arthas nodded and said, "This place is really amazing, but I don't seem to feel any energy fluctuations in the air!"

Arthas found it strange. Logically speaking, with Lian Yang's strength being so great, the world he lived in should have been full of energy. However, the fact was that there was not a single trace of energy fluctuation in the world where Lian Yang lived.

"Haha!" Lian Yang laughed heartily upon hearing Arthas's question, "It's not just that there's no energy here, you should take a closer look and see what else is different!"

"What's different?" Arthas asked, puzzled. But the next second, his expression suddenly turned strange: "Lian Yang... here... there's no system here? I can't see any information about my strength at all! Only the surging power within me tells me that I am truly powerful!"

"That's right. This is Earth, the beginning of everything. Unlike Azeroth, this is a real world. I've named Azeroth the Data World because almost everything in Azeroth is data-driven!"

With the Lich King Ner'zhul defeated, Lian Yang finally gained the right to leave World of Warcraft, temporarily completing his mission. Arthas, though now the true Lich King, chose to join Lian Yang in exploring a wider world, as Azeroth was still too small compared to Lian Yang's experiences.

"Your Majesty, a friend of yours has been waiting for you in the palace for several days!"

Just as Lian Yang and his Hope Squad stepped out of the teleportation array of the newly built palace in Hope City, Hai Ge immediately stepped forward with a mysterious expression and greeted Lian Yang.

"Friends? Waiting for me in the palace?" Lian Yang looked bewildered. To be honest, although Lian Yang was indeed very powerful now and his influence was terrifying enough, his friends naturally knew about his complete rise. However, the Lian Yang of today was completely different from the one of the past. Normally, no one would dare to take the initiative to seek out Lian Yang.

More importantly, the palace was newly built, and Lian Yang hadn't even lived there for more than a few days. What kind of friend was he that Hai Ge dared to bring him to live in the palace?

"Yes, Your Majesty, but she is currently waiting for you in the main hall!" Hai Ge nodded, his face still full of mystery.

Lian Yang nodded and said, "Let's go then. I really want to see what kind of friend he is that you would arrange for him to stay in the palace!" Lian Yang knew very well that Hai Ge was a shrewd person who would never do anything foolish. After all, the palace was Lian Yang's home, and even the best of friends would never be allowed to come in when Lian Yang was not at home.

"What friend? Is there a problem with me living in my own home?!"

Just as Lian Yang was looking bewildered and slightly annoyed, a clear voice suddenly came from in front of him.

"Baby?!".

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lian Yang abruptly stopped, looked up, and stared at the girl in front of him with disbelief.

The girl's appearance was still so familiar, her voice was still so familiar, and even the way she looked at him was no different from before.

"What? Who else could it be but me!"

The girl's voice was sweet, full of playfulness, and of course, an undeniable joy.

"My God! Am I dreaming?!" Lian Yang was speechless. Even though he could usually talk a thousand words, he was now just excited.

As Lian Yang stared at the girl before him, speechless for a long time, Hai Ge, understanding the situation, led the Hope Squad away quietly from the garden in front of the teleportation array. Even the bard Alice and Fei Wu quietly chose to walk aside.

Everyone knows that Lian Yang's current strength stems solely from his deep love for a girl. Even all his current efforts are a result of her past disdain for his perceived lack of ambition. As for Fei Wu and the bard Alice, well, a powerful man has the right to be affectionate, as long as each relationship is genuine.

"I'm back, right here in front of you. You're amazing, I saw all your hard work!" The girl looked at Lian Yang, suppressing her joy as she spoke each word carefully. But Lian Yang's tears flowed uncontrollably; she didn't know how long she had waited for this day.

"Yes, it's good that you're back. Don't leave again!" Lian Yang nodded desperately, tears streaming down his face that he hadn't shed even when his life was hanging by a thread.

"Mmm!" the girl murmured softly, then rushed into Lian Yang's arms without hesitation, rubbing her head against his chest and saying happily, "Not bad, much stronger than before!"

It turns out that when Lian Yang successfully ascended the throne, all the countries unanimously chose to broadcast it live. After all, this was also a way to befriend Lian Yang, and more importantly, to inform everyone of the extent of Lian Yang's danger, since there are always some people who are blind to the danger.

Since Lian Yang has already broadcast his news globally, how could the girl at home not see it? More importantly, everyone knows that Lian Yang's homeland is China, and Chinese people naturally know this even better. In addition, Lian Yang's original file was not confidential at all, and his family background could be easily investigated to find out about his relatives and friends.

The relationship between the girl and Lian Yang was obvious, and Hua Xia even found out the reason why they broke up. In keeping with the principle of befriending Lian Yang, Hua Xia indeed chose to visit Lian Yang as an introduction when the girl most wanted to see him.

With the introduction of the Chinese man, Hai Ge naturally knew the girl's true identity, and given her identity, Hai Ge could only arrange for her to stay in the palace.

In the evening, in the main hall of the Chinese Empire's palace, the girl, the bard Alice, and Fei Wu stood in turn beside Lian Yang.

All that could be seen was Lian Yang holding an exquisite crown in his hands, slowly placing it on the girl's head, and loudly proclaiming, "She is the mistress of this country! She is the Empress!"
