Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

"That's all right!" Hong Qigong said nonchalantly, "Since Jing'er has no time to distract you, I'll leave first."

Accompanied by Guo Jing waving his hands impatiently.

Hong Qigong turned and headed outside Mount Zhongnan.

After dealing with Hong Qigong, Guo Jing didn't immediately return to the Tomb Sweeping Sect. Instead, he seemed to be staring at something invisible, muttering, "We're still a long way from turning this world into a complete game, eh? Should we summon another wave of the Fourth Calamity? With the Fourth Calamity stirring things up, I believe this world's resistance will soon vanish completely, right?"

"What a good plan!!" A sudden voice startled Guo Jing.

Following the sound, Guo Jing was stunned for a long moment when he saw these figures who had inexplicably appeared in the Tomb Sweeping Sect. Then he asked, "You... who are you?"

"Even if you're not Guo Jing, you should be able to recognize me," Huang Rong said angrily. "Open your eyes wide and see who I am."

Glancing at the top of Huang Rong's head, Guo Jing was immediately surprised and asked, "You are Rong'er?"

After his surprise, Guo Jing quickly and joyfully began to manipulate something invisible to others. He muttered to himself, "Huang Rong is here so soon? Doesn't that mean she's completely mine now?"

"Bah!" Huang Rong's pretty face flushed with anger as she shouted, "Who is yours?"

"How could that be?" Guo Jing asked in confusion, "It's clearly already been turned into a game. Why aren't they following the script?"

At this moment, both Ying An and the group members understood clearly.

The Guo Jing in front of them is their target of this mission, and he is also the culprit for the entire world being hit by dimensionality reduction and falling into gamification this time.

However, this Guo Jing doesn't seem to be that smart.

Apart from staying in the Tomb Sect and enjoying Li Mochou's tenderness, he didn't seem to have considered actively promoting the gamification of the world.

Chapter 345: The Protagonist of This Era! The Existence of Polluting the World!

Now Ying An and his group members have appeared in front of him, but Guo Jing is still immersed in studying his golden finger.

I don't know if this Guo Jing has a brain problem after traveling through time, or if he has been influenced by the real Guo Jing and become stupid.

Of course, the real Guo Jing wasn't stupid, but rather talented. Although he wasn't very bright, he was very calm.

As for the target of the mission, Guo Jing obviously only managed to stay calm, but did not show his inner talent.

"Could it be that there are some bugs in the process of gamification?" Guo Jing seemed to be immersed in his own world, stroking his chin in thought.

Ying An sneered, "Do you think we will believe you just because of your disguise?"

"Disguise?" Guo Jing blinked and said, "I'm not disguising. I just... I really can't understand why Huang Rong wouldn't follow the script when everything was clearly gamified."

While Guo Jing was answering, Ying An clearly felt that something was wrong.

It was as if Guo Jing before him had become nothing more than a puppet, devoid of emotion. Everything he displayed was just... just a functioning process.

Even when Hong Qigong exposed the truth, his performance seemed like an act.

That kind of weirdness, narrowness, and playfulness, although very vivid, but it seemed as if there was a layer of separation.

"Are you really Guo Jing?" Ying An asked.

Guo Jing nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, I am indeed Guo Jing. Who are you?"

"Master Group Leader!" Huang Rong also noticed something was wrong with Guo Jing at this time. She leaned close to Ying An's ear and whispered, "There seems to be something wrong with this Guo Jing!"

Ying An nodded slightly.

The mission depicts an unknown force polluting the world, dragging it into a state of gaming.

Just from this description, it is not difficult to judge that the factor that caused the task was the power of an unknown existence, but whether the unknown existence itself exists in this world is still unknown.

Perhaps, the Guo Jing in front of him was the work of the other party.

Ying An and the others' goal was to eliminate the fate of this world being reduced to a game world by a dimensionality reduction attack. As for the existence of even the power itself, which could pollute the world, it was obviously not within the scope of the mission.

Staring at Guo Jing, Ying An pondered for a moment, opened the chat interface, and began to communicate with Genyuanshi.

Natural Born Sage: "Shi. How is the situation? Have you connected with the source?"

Root of Nothingness: "I'm sorry, Mr. Group Leader, the root of this world seems to be blocked. My consciousness can't connect with the world at all."

Sunlight: "Oh my god, group leader, you're still thinking about messing with the group? Shouldn't we go catch the guy who turned the world into a game first?"

Stunning Cook: "We've found our target. It's Guo Jing! But, there's something wrong with this Guo Jing. It's as if... his consciousness is being manipulated!!"

The Source of Nothingness: "Mr. Group Leader, in this world, Guo Jing should be the protagonist, right?"

Ying An inexplicably heard the protagonist's address from Genyuan's mouth. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly seemed to react.

Guo Jing, the protagonist and the mastermind behind the scenes...

The moment these terms came together, it was as if some kind of chemical reaction occurred, instantly giving Ying An a wake-up call.

No wonder!! No wonder Guo Jing seemed off, sometimes stiff, sometimes agile as if putting on an act.

Don't forget that Guo Jing is the protagonist of this era, which means he will be favored by destiny.

The world's preference for the protagonist is multifaceted. Since Guo Jing is the protagonist, he naturally embodies the world's own love.

But if at this moment, an unknown power descended upon Guo Jing, and with Guo Jing as the core, reduced the entire world to a game state, then the first to resist would be the entire world.

In some worlds, the protagonist of destiny might not be that important to the world itself. Even if they die, there will always be a replacement.

But Guo Jing is obviously different. Don't forget that he is a person with good fortune. When he is affected by the power of an unknown existence, the first thing that is affected is the world itself.

It is obvious that the world will never be willing to sink into a state of gamification.

What about the world's resistance? It can't be like there's no ripple at all, right?

From Guo Jing's current special state, it is not difficult to feel that the world itself has probably suffered a blow from Chanyeol.

However, as a tentacle of the unknown power, Guo Jing certainly did not take advantage of it.

That's why it has fallen into this weird situation.

It seems smart, but it is full of rigidity.

After understanding Guo Jing's condition, Ying An immediately realized that if he wanted to establish a root-like connection with this world, it would ultimately fall on Guo Jing's shoulders.

Killing Guo Jing does not mean that the crisis in this world has been truly resolved. On the contrary, Guo Jing himself is now the focus of the stalemate between the world and that future force.

If Guo Jing died, who knows if the power in that location would spread out all of a sudden, turning the entire world into a game in a short period of time?

Perhaps because he felt the threat from Ying An and others, Guo Jing's expression suddenly became more ferocious.

"What do you want to do?"

Facing Guo Jing's questioning, Ying An softened his tone and said, "Guo Jing, do you still remember why you came to the Central Plains?"

A hint of reminiscence lingered in his fierce eyes. After a moment's thought, Guo Jing said, "I remember now. I think I'm going to the Misty Rain Tower in Jiaxing, Jiangnan, to keep an eighteen-year appointment! Yes, I'm going to keep it!"

The moment the words fell, Guo Jing's expression suddenly changed, his brows filled with evil as he said, "No! I have no obligation to participate in any eighteen-year agreement. I should turn the entire world into a game, and I will become the master of the entire world!!"

The contrasting changes occurred in an instant. Ying An felt that the target of this mission had obviously chosen the most unsuitable candidate.

Although Guo Jing is indeed a protagonist of the era who is favored by fate, his own character is destined to make it impossible for him to be completely corrupted.

Although the current Guo Jing is not yet the great hero he will be in the future, the hero who serves his country and his people, some of his character traits are innate.

This is the case with Guo Jing. Now, he is just at the focus of a stalemate between himself, driven by the destiny of the world itself, and the unknown existence that invades the world and reduces it to a game-like dimension.

For Guo Jing, his heart and nature destined him to never accept the gamification of the world.

At this moment, in the eyes of Ying An and others, the special state displayed was also the product of Guo Jing's own compromise under his own resistance. He was neither Guo Jing nor the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 346: The Influence of Players! The Completely Gamified Boss!

I have to admit, for this world, choosing Guo Jing as the protagonist of this era, who is favored by destiny, has indeed delayed the process of this world's decline into gaming.

This is the inner talent of Guo Jing. Beneath his seemingly foolish appearance, he has a persistent heart.

If it were someone else, even if they were blessed with good fortune, they might not be able to delay the world from being struck by a dimensionality reduction attack.

To some extent, Guo Jing's stupidity, in this situation, becomes an advantage.

Natural Born Sage: "@Void Root, Shi, come to the Tomb Sweep Sect with Reina. Perhaps, through Guo Jing, you can connect directly to the world."

The Root of Nothingness: "The key to connecting to the origin of the world is actually in Guo Jing? Okay. I understand!!"

A space crack suddenly appeared beside Ying An, leading directly to Peach Blossom Island.

In just a moment, Ryougi Shiki and Dilena passed through this passage and reunited with the group members.

"Is this the guy? He made me, the goddess, become the boss of the game!!" As soon as she saw Guo Jing, Dilena was immediately furious.

However, before she could find Guo Jing to vent her anger, Di Lena quickly discovered that everyone in the chat group, from the group leader Ying An to the other group members, had health bars lighting up above their heads, just like her.

The difference was that his own health bar had the name of Sunlight on it, but above everyone else's heads, besides the health bar, there were only a few yellow marks where their names would be.

"Haha..." Dilena burst into laughter. "How come everyone has become a game character? But I'm the Sun Goddess, the final boss of this world!!"

"Stop playing tricks!" Ying An glanced at Dilena and said, "Players have begun to appear in this world. Even if you are the final boss, if you are targeted by players, I believe you know what will happen to you!!"

When she was on Earth, Reina of course also knew the definition of the Fourth Disaster.

When she heard that there would be players in this world, she immediately panicked.

"Hey, hey. Really? Isn't this world completely gamified yet? How come even players are showing up?"

"For our mission target, this world only has the last bit of resistance left. If we hadn't appeared, it wouldn't be long before this world would be completely reduced to a game world. Everyone's life would become an NPC running according to the program." Ying An said: "At this point, of course players will appear!!"

"No!! Goddess, I will not be overthrown by players no matter what. By the way, group leader, the root cause has been found. Should we find a way to kill the mastermind as soon as possible?" Dilena said impatiently.

"Not so fast!" Ying An shook his head and said to Liang Yi Shi: "Try to connect to the root of this world through Guo Jing. If it is feasible, we will do our best to kill all the players during this period of time. Buy you some time!!"

"Alright!" Ryougi Shiki also knew how urgent the situation was. Upon hearing this, she closed her eyes and began to connect with this world through Guo Jing.

In just a moment, Ryougi Shiki opened his eyes and said in surprise, "Group leader, the root has been successfully connected. Xiangyang, the Mongolian Royal Court, Iron Palm Peak, Lu Family Manor, Jueqing Valley, and Shaolin Temple are the players' resurrection points!!"

With a quick thought, his mind swept over the location that Ryougi Shiki had just mentioned and instantly marked it.

Ying An immediately began assigning tasks, dispatching each team member to the six aforementioned resurrection points based on their abilities.

With Ying An's teleportation method that could directly tear through space, in just a few breaths, all the group members had already separated from each other for a long time, and began to kill the players indiscriminately according to the different marks above the heads of players and NPCs.

We have to admit that although players are known as the fourth calamity, once their health bar is revealed, even the God of Creation will fall at the hands of the players who continue to rush forward.

But now, this world hasn't been completely gamified. Not only are the players' abilities extremely low, but even the resurrection process is quite lengthy. Instead of being able to resurrect instantly upon death, they can still be resurrected.

This also gives group members the opportunity to completely block the resurrection point, eliminating the possibility for players to cause trouble in the world.

Since they couldn't even leave the resurrection point, the players' influence was naturally restricted to the six resurrection points.

While these six resurrection points played a crucial role in the plot's development, the entire world was at stake. Compared to the safety of a world reduced to the perilous state of a game, the mere development of the plot was completely insignificant.

Soon, the group members blocked the players' resurrection points.

In the Tomb Sweeping Sect, Guo Jing's face also showed an obvious look of struggle.

The Root Style also took this opportunity to begin to continuously penetrate Guo Jing and merge more closely with the roots of the world deep in his consciousness.

If someone were to look down at the entire world from a high vantage point at this moment, they would be surprised to find that, starting from the periphery of the world, those NPCs who originally had health bars and names on their heads were just like waking up from a nightmare one by one.

The scope of gamification is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is the result of the cooperation between the Root Style and the World. Relying on the Root Style's own Tao and Law, which are completely different from those of the World, they were able to successfully offset the dimensionality reduction attack of the game.

However, when the scope of gamification is narrowed to the territory of Zhongnan Mountain.

Genyuanshi and Guo Jing both showed conflicted expressions on their faces.

Ryougi Shiki immediately said to Ying An, "Group Leader. Here in Zhongnan Mountain... there really is an evil dragon underground! This kind of existence should not be born in this world. If it cannot be erased, or even completely eliminated, then neither I nor the world itself can completely eliminate the influence of gamification!!"

Evil Dragon!!

Ying An reacted instantly. Wasn't this the game mission they saw when they arrived at Zhongnan Mountain?

I didn't expect that the game interface that I caught a glimpse of at that time would now be related to whether the world can completely eliminate the influence of gamification.

really! !

If it weren't for Ying An and the others, this evil dragon would definitely have become a completely gamified BOSS.

Of course, even now, this evil dragon remains like a wedge, firmly embedded within the boundaries of Mount Zhongnan. This region has become the culprit for the inability of even the combined efforts of the Origin and the World to restore normalcy through the lens of Dao and Law.

Chapter 347: Chaos and Ignorance Before the Creation of Heaven and Earth

If you want to complete the mission, the evil dragon must be eliminated.
