T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

The candlelight gently caresses the tree, allowing one to feel the marks left by time.

In the very end, I returned to this place.

They returned to their birthplace, peacefully awaiting the end of their lives.

As the only child in the world with magic, his story is quite ordinary and unremarkable.

Atop the towering treetops, I gaze into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, sunrise and sunset, the stars shift and the seasons change.

In the blink of an eye, spring has gone and autumn has come.

Day after day, year after year, wandering deep into the rainforest.

Judging from his willingness to help humans, he doesn't seem to dislike them.

Candlelight said that in the final stages of his life, he gradually came to understand the mysteries of the Primordial Magic Sea. He realized and learned how to use magic to a limited extent in a magic-free environment without being harmed by it.

In a world where magic doesn't exist, alas, they are no different from gods.

If he wanted, he could walk up to the gambling table and roll the dice.

But the distant marks left by the magic indicate that he used two types of magic, the largest of which.

One method is to catalyze a fruit tree to bear a variety of fruits—even those fruits that should have been planted on the ground and hung on a vine.

One fruit tree, hundreds of kinds of fruit, a dazzling array.

This is magic he created to please himself.

The second kind of magic...

The candlelight helped Chen Shaoyu put on the ring.

"Snap your fingers at the leaves."

Chen Shaoyu was puzzled, yet secretly hopeful.

The moment the fingers snapped, a cool breeze gently caressed every leaf and swept across the treetops.

Invisible ripples spread, intimately interacting with the lush vegetation of the rainforest, and echoes from all directions flowed into the ears with a soft "rustling" sound.

It was as if the entire rainforest had come alive, responding to his call.

Chen Shaoyu got goosebumps.

At that moment, he understood what kind of scene the power of the Lord of the Forest in fantasy novels was—the power that could make the sea of ​​trees rejoice.

The spellcasting process is not complicated. The spell formula already contained in the ring can be triggered by snapping the fingers with the candlelight. It is a simple way to activate magic, binding the spellcasting action with the mobilization of magic power.

"I made it using fragments of magic left over from the 'oo'."

Chen Shaoyu hesitated for a moment, then asked with a heavy heart, "When did he leave?"

"1381."

"More than 600 years have passed, can it still leave a trace?"

"He is the only one, without any chaotic magical information interfering, everything is very clear."

What was he doing at the end of his life?

The candlelight picked up a leaf.

"Eat the leaves."

Wu particularly enjoys gnawing on leaves; the vast rainforest is like his canteen, and the long passage of time gives him ample opportunity to savor the flavor of each tree.

According to Candlelight, he could clearly feel his physical condition.

The magic that sustained his existence began to leak out, making him unstable and dangerous.

To prevent his death from becoming a magical accident in a world without magic, he took out leaf specimens accumulated over a thousand years, placed them beside the tree roots, and made a small nest.

After eating and drinking to its heart's content, Wu poured out its magic power to catalyze the growth of the trees.

He had wanted this final masterpiece to be laden with fruit, but the magic no longer allowed him to perform any more precise operations.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wu's thoughts plunged into darkness as he drained himself of all his magic.

"Suicide...?" Chen Shaoyu was momentarily dazed.

"The older he got, the harder it was for him to control his magic, and he realized the danger he posed to the world."

Born under the rules of a magical world, he has never been welcomed by this world.

Even so, he lived his life quietly and peacefully.

Even at the very end, she maintained the gentleness befitting a fairy.

As he spoke, Zhu Huo patted Chen Shaoyu on the shoulder.

"When I returned to this world and saw you with a troubled face, exhausted by that power, I immediately thought of Wu."

"You look a lot like him."

Chapter 292 Backup Devours the Master

Using the traces left by Wu, the candlelight entered this world, easily obtaining the source of magic and performing miracles in the eyes of the world.

As one question is answered, another arises.

"Use the power of this ring, and the monster inside you will die?"

Candlelight explained: "My energy source is divided into two parts. The part that she controls is something I cannot speak of, and the other part is the primordial magic sea that your world already possesses."

Limited time to act, fragmented memories and consciousness—the "she" within the candle flame has nowhere to hide.

Upon noticing something amiss, Zhu Huo immediately accessed the webcam footage from the office computer.

Seeing himself, unconscious and inexplicably moving around, Candlelight instantly understood.

From the moment I gave her the ring, I was setting a trap for her.

Chen Shaoyu was stunned, his mouth dry as he looked down at the emerald green ring on his index finger.

"The connection to the Sea of ​​Primordial Magic is right here."

Another possibility that emerged at the dawn of the world—the key to unlocking that door is right in our hands.

Chen Shaoyu's heart was pounding. Images slowly unfolded in his mind, and countless fantasy masterpieces he had once browsed and viewed flickered like fleeting shadows.

"call……"

With a heavy exhale, the jumble of thoughts cleared, and the mind became clear.

The candlelight watched all this, but said nothing.

"What the hell did you bring into our world?"

“It’s not about bringing her.” Candlelight paused. “She is also me.”

In every world, the candlelight stores a backup of itself.

Backups have no consciousness; they are merely empty shells.

As temporary server platforms created by the candlelight, they silently maintain the stable operation of the Proof of the Stars in each world.

Things changed after her memory was damaged.

"They became aware of my disability."

"They questioned it."

"They're curious."

"They are eager to try."

In those few words, Chen Shaoyu felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were in a dark warehouse filled with mannequins.

The moment the lights were turned on, all the models stared intently at him.

Realizing that the candle was a "defective product," the thought of replacing it quickly took over the backup doll's chaotic consciousness.

Some backups are just for observation, while others are put into action.

"That martial arts world where spiritual energy has been revived."

Candlelight nodded: "The backup located in the Three Domes, number two, while ensuring the game runs, has its personal movement trajectory out of my control."

The methods of the candle-throwing game differ depending on the world.

Thirty years have passed since the spiritual energy of the Three Heavens Land revived, and countless bizarre and wonderful things have happened.

They can easily accept the bizarre experience of a painting falling from the sky and a game in their dreams without much guidance. As long as the suggestion is strengthened in the dream, the game can proceed smoothly.

However, the backup bypassed the candlelight and obtained a temporary body in a manner similar to possession, and secretly contacted several well-known and powerful forces in the Three Realms.

Without any coercion or inducement, a slight display of divine power was enough to shake the very souls of the high-ranking officials of the Three Realms, who, even if unwilling, had no choice but to serve her.

Chen Shaoyu swallowed.

"The previous bug was intentional!"

Candlelight nodded: "She interfered with some processes without affecting the game's operation, causing an anomaly that drew me to investigate."

"The backup body into which her consciousness entered had already been set into a trap by her."

"As long as my consciousness is annihilated, she will be a completely new me."

"Unfortunately, she didn't succeed."

The novel doesn't describe the fate of the high-ranking officials in the Three Domes, but one can imagine it wasn't a pleasant one.

The struggle between the candlelight and the backup exceeded the upper limit of the combat power that this spiritually revived world could withstand.

“I have erased the evil thoughts from the backup consciousness and re-stitched and merged it, but she doesn’t seem to be completely dead… Perhaps, that is her true purpose.”

"Summoning the people of the Three Domes Land to cooperate only makes me feel that she hopes to seize this puppet body by killing me."

“In fact, from the very beginning, she wanted to return to this body and fight me for control.”

Chen Shaoyu asked, "And now, have they killed him?"

The candlelight nodded: "As expected, the last echo was also extinguished."

Chen Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't want his world to become a battlefield between two superhumans.

"Only one backup has been put into operation?"

“No, there’s one more,” Candlelight said. “The doll with the serial number one has lost contact with me.”

Chen Shaoyu's lips twitched: "Hey, hey, hey, doesn't this mean she's running a private server?"

The candlelight tilted its head, rapidly searching its knowledge base and finding the corresponding information.

She smiled knowingly: "Casual clothes are just fine."

All the players on the huge server have been cut off from the main game as the backup goes off on its own. Their gaming experience now rests solely in the hands of the backup.

Just thinking about it makes me nervous for the players in that world, but Candlelight doesn't seem to be in such a hurry.

"It doesn't matter if the world containing serial number one is temporarily lost; its processing priority can be postponed."

As a game operator, Chen Shaoyu naturally immersed himself in the role.

"No, she's running a private server! She's got access to the data of millions of players!"

Can you really be this carefree?

"Wait, which world is she holding? Is it the fantasy world with elves and hybrid orcs?"

"This is the fourth world that I haven't explained in detail to you," Candlelight explained. "This world is very special, with very few players, so there's no need to rush for now."

Chen Shaoyu shrugged.

You're the one who pays the salary, so you're the boss.

After learning the whole story, Chen Shaoyu was still a little dizzy when he returned to the rented room.

He recalled how he used the power left behind by Wu to assist the candlelight, and then snapped his fingers deep in the rainforest to experience the dreamlike treatment of the Lord of the Forest.

Magic can be addictive.

He smiled as he examined the vine pattern on the ring and took it off.
