Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"Cole!"

Upon seeing Ke Lai, Chu Xi greeted her happily.

"It's Xiaoxi, and the Traveler and Paimon too!"

Cole wasn't feeling well, but she was still happy to see her good friend, and even her complexion looked a little better.

From Cole, Ying and the others learned that Tina was no longer in Daocheng Forest, so after saying goodbye to Cole, they immediately prepared to head to Zen Garden.

Before leaving, Ke Lai asked Chu Xi about Cyria's situation. Since she had promised Cyria, Chu Xi simply said that Cyria had gone to work on her thesis.

"Kelei, take good care of yourself. I'll come find you with Aya after this period is over."

"Uh-huh."

Cole nodded expectantly.

Chapter 182 I Have Betrayed Three Times

Fortunately, Chu Xi's physique improved a lot after obtaining the Eye of God, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to keep up with Ying and Paimon.

Ying's body has almost no limits; she can run for hours without getting tired. Paimon's words are like flying, and this little guy doesn't seem to complain of being tired either.

"Chu Xi, are you alright..."

Paimon noticed that Chu Xi was sweating and asked her with concern.

"It's alright, Paimon."

Ying looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Chu Xi, for making you follow us around everywhere."

"No, no, no, I am grateful that you are willing to help me. Besides, this is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it is the Fools and the Sages."

"Chu Xi, is your body still able to keep up?"

"Yes, no problem, traveler."

Her actions can be considered as a way to help Xumi. Xiaoya is not around, so she can help out. When Xiaoya comes back, she can tell her about these things and see how Xiaoya thanks her!

Thinking of this, Chu Xi felt much more at ease about running away.

……

The world of players.

The streamer, Penguin, was playing a game. Next to her was a phone showing the ongoing Genshin Impact game quests, with the story progressing exactly the same as hers.

He accidentally clicked the second option, which not only cost him 3200 primal stones, but also took away Chu Xi, who would have been part of the storyline.

Penguin was filled with regret, but his choice had actually propelled the plot forward even further, rendering the method of disconnecting and re-entering the game completely useless for him.

Now, seeing Chu Xi always by other people's side while they were completing tasks, he, who already liked Chu Xi, felt even more distressed.

In Penguin's live stream, many people are now regretting their choice of the second option.

[I should have known better than to choose the second option with the streamer! My Chu Xi, my raw gems!]

I've completed the entire storyline. The difference between the first and second options seems to be just the choice between the original stone and Chu Xi; there's nothing else.

So miHoYo designed the second option purely to annoy people?

Not necessarily, but it seems to be the only difference at present.

……

Upon arriving at Zen Garden, Ying, Paimon, and Chu Xi saw Catherine waiting to the side as soon as they entered.

"Wait, that's over there!"

The group ran over and saw that Catherine was unharmed. Paimon breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're alright, that's so good! We were so worried about you..."

Ying: "Is it Nasita's consciousness?"

Paimon crossed his arms and said, "Hey, Ying, you're going to ruin the atmosphere when you reply after being so touched!"

Narcida: "Paimon, it was wise for the traveler to be wary of me now, after all, the Doctor has demonstrated similar techniques for manipulating people's consciousness... What happened when I faced the Doctor alone after we parted ways is something you will never know."

"Just like after a catastrophic rainstorm, the puddles on the ground can sometimes be disguised as the sky."

Here it comes, this familiar metaphorical art, it seems to be Naxida indeed.

Nasita explained why she came here—she had completed the restoration of the subconscious of the inhabitants of Sumeru just before the doctor was about to succeed, and then removed their consciousness at the last moment.

Narcida also mentioned that the Doctor is currently researching the Void, and if this continues, it's only a matter of time before Narcida's consciousness is captured.

Ying: "We need to hurry, or we'll become increasingly passive."

Paimon stamped his foot in the void: "Damn it... I feel like I'm being toyed with. What a troublesome opponent... And it's said that the Doctor is more than capable of securing the Second Seat with his strength alone."

The group entered the Zen Garden together and met an unexpected person, Haibasha.

Hypasha claimed that she could enable Luminous and the others to connect with the consciousness of the gods on their own. After consulting with Nashida, Luminous prepared to do as Hypasha suggested.

So Haibasha lit the linfen incense.

Ying and Paimon held Haibasha's hand, and then, under the influence of the Lingfen incense, their consciousness gradually drifted into darkness.

I have been betrayed thrice, and thus I have come to understand that everything in this world is nothing but a deceptive facade.

Ying and the others heard a familiar voice—it was a skirmisher!

The second executor in Sumeru is a stragglers?!

My anger will never subside!

[One is God, my creator, my 'mother'.]

[It is swayed by power, abandoning the useless me.]

[Secondly, people—my family and my friends.]

[They are bound by fear and see me as something detestable.]

[The third is of the same kind, my expectation: birds whose wings are not yet fully grown.]

[It is controlled by its lifespan and has violated its agreement with me.]

[Humans are absolutely untrustworthy, and I hate even God.]

I abandon everything, denying and scoffing at everything in this world.

My heart will never again be tainted by worldly affairs.

[By discarding the base emotions of humanity, my empty parts will be like the pure white scroll at the moment of my birth.]

[Fill it with the heart of the supreme God, which is brimming with divinity.]

[Hehehe... Hahahaha!]

[There is no need to be afraid; the pain is only momentary.]

[Your era... is about to end.]

The last thing Ying saw was a "skirmisher" whose body was connected by many tubes and was floating in the air. The creature looked at Ying with cold eyes.

Paimon also regained consciousness.

"Just now... was what we saw the past of the [Skirmishers]?! A lot of information overlaps!"

Haibasha suddenly clasped her hands together, her face filled with piety:

"You see it, you feel it, the sublime deity, the sublime will, the sublime emotion!"

Ying and the others were startled by Haibasha's sudden behavior and all looked at her.

"Alas... what a pity, what a pity... what a pity that beats in my chest is a filthy, human heart... Oh, God, can you forgive me, can you redeem me..."

Paimon's eyes widened: "Hypasha, what are you talking about?!"

Haibasha suddenly covered her head: "Ouch, why...why are you so mean to me? Why are all those people avoiding me?"

Haibasha suddenly started talking to herself, and everyone looked at her with concern.

After talking to herself for a while, Haibasha suddenly covered her head and ran away. Ying was about to chase after her when she suddenly heard Naxida's reminder.

"Wait a minute, something's not right around us!"

"what?"

Ying also sensed it; it seemed that many people were rapidly approaching this direction.

"go!"

As soon as they ran out, they saw a large number of members of the "Group of Thirty".

Upon seeing Ying and the others, the members of the "Thirty-Person Group" immediately rushed forward, swinging their weapons at them with all their might, all clearly deadly moves.

Ying jumped up and kicked one soldier away. The kicked soldier crashed into the soldiers behind him, and a large number of them fell down at once.

"There are too many people, let's run!"

Chapter 183 Creating God

Paimon followed Chu Xi, who cast a shield on herself. The weapon in her hand was the large club that Cyria had kept at home and used to hit the Great Sage.

The soldiers of the [Thirty-Man Group] were completely helpless against Chu Xi, who possessed a shield.

Their attack power was not enough to break Chu Xi's shield.

Chu Xi swung her large club and slammed it on the heads of the gilded brigade soldiers. The sound of the club hitting the ground echoed as the soldiers fell to the ground.

"Well done, Chu Xi."

Paimon's praise distracted Chu Xi for a moment, and in that brief instant, several weapons came stabbing at her.

"Ah, be careful!"

Paimon immediately became anxious and gave a reminder.

Chu Xi dodged the soldiers' attacks and retaliated by knocking them all unconscious with a single blow each.

Ying had dealt with the people bothering her, and when she turned around, her expression changed drastically:

"Nasita, watch out!"

Nasita ran towards Ying's direction, and behind her, several soldiers were thrusting spears at her.

With a fierce determination, Ying unleashed her inner power, arriving beside Naxida at an astonishing speed, and sweeping her sword across the soldiers, knocking their weapons away.

"Nasita, are you alright?!"

"Traveler, you..."

The faint glimmer of tears in Ying's eyes deeply moved Nasita. Why... did she shed tears?

"I'm glad I'm fine, I'm glad I'm fine..."

Ying grabbed Naxida's hand, called Chu Xi and Paimon, and they broke out towards the outside.

"Damn it, were these guys all sent by that Doctor?"

Paimon complained as he ran.

Suddenly, Nasita, who was being dragged along by Ying, let out a muffled groan. Ying quickly turned around and saw Nasita clutching her chest.

"What's wrong, Naxida?"

"Don't worry, this is just a vessel... I..."

Naxida collapsed before she could finish speaking.

Because Ying was still holding Nasita's hand, her consciousness was drawn into the scene, and she saw Nasita trapped in a green dome, and—the [Skirmisher] inside a huge purple creation…

After Ying fell into a daze, Chu Xi turned her head to look behind her, and it seemed that the shot had just come from behind.

As Chu Xi turned her head, she saw that behind the group of thirty, the Doctor was facing them with his hands behind his back.

"The vines lead to implication!"

Tina rushed over, and Chu Xi stopped paying attention to [Doctor]. She came to Ying's side and was just about to carry Ying on her back when Ying woke up on her own.

"Traveler, are you alright?"
