Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

After having a simple meal to fill her stomach, she returned to her room.

A guitar sat beside her bed.

After touching the other parts, Lucia felt completely relaxed.

She smiled, her fingers strumming the guitar, playing a simple melody like a children's song.

She was smiling very naturally at that moment, as if she was immersed in some kind of pleasant emotion.

……

"Dad, the guitar Mom left behind is gone..."

"do not bother me!"

Ober shouted, "Don't mention your short-lived mother! If she hadn't died from overwork so early, I wouldn't have to work so hard... Go back to your room!"

"But, the guitar..."

"It's just a broken guitar, so what if it's lost?"

Ober said impatiently, "Besides, don't you know how awful you play? It's the same lousy tune over and over again... It's better to get rid of it! It'll save you from playing it all the time."

"That was a piece of music my mom composed for me, not a broken one..."

"Shut up! I told you not to mention her. Get out of here!"

"..."

Lucia trembled and retreated in fear.

Ober glanced at the guitar at his feet, then took a picture with his phone and skillfully listed it on a second-hand trading platform.

While using his phone, he muttered to himself, "Why haven't the charity sent anything lately? Could they have found out I'm reselling things?"

……

Having seen this, Fan Xiao stopped observing.

He gradually pinpointed Lucia's location through sheer luck, essentially cheating blatantly in the dungeon.

Other players can't find the target character as soon as they enter the dungeon like he did. They have to follow the normal process—that is, first defeat the Almighty Lord, and then see if the dungeon will give any hints on how to find the target... The method is most likely to be to use the power of "knowing one's destiny" that was dispersed after the Almighty Lord's death to see the Saintess's future, and then deduce her past to find Lucia.

This process will take at least three days to complete.

Three days later, if a player defeats the Almighty Lord and comes looking for him, he will learn about the Saintess's "past memories" from Lucia, just like he did.

In other words... Lucia's misfortunes will continue to "play" in various forms during this period.

School and home—these are the only two places Lucia, the young girl, can stay.

There is no hope in either of these places.

So Fan Xiao could pretty much guess what would happen next... there was no need to keep watching.

He had roughly figured out how to complete the second dungeon mission.

Fan Xiao stepped forward, approached Ober Rosa, and, before the scene in the house changed, unleashed the mental interference ability attached to "Thoughts of the Four Worlds".

Soon, he learned detailed information about Lucia's family from Ober.

……

The Rosa family was originally very happy—because Lucia's mother held the family together.

For this reason, Lucia's mother died of overwork when Lucia was very young.

After her mother's death, Lucia's living conditions deteriorated, and long-term malnutrition caused her to become increasingly thin and weak.

Her father, who was quite handsome, was a complete alcoholic and lazy man who loved to indulge in debauchery and basically never cared about her. Also, because of her visual impairment, he didn't like her much from a young age.

Lucia grew up in such a family.

Based on Lucia's current environment and the Saintess's state in the outside world, Fan Xiao could roughly guess what Lucia would experience in the future—for example, one day she would suddenly be chosen by the evolution game to become an evolver, awaken advanced psionic energy related to the concept of "perfection," and her eyes would heal themselves as the evolution rate increased, thus starting a new life... If nothing unexpected happens, that's probably how it will be.

However... starting a new life doesn't necessarily mean a new mindset.

The saintess is trapped in the past.

Therefore, after obtaining the "knowing one's destiny" tool, she used it to keep an eye on her future and always chose the path in life that was most beneficial to her.

She wanted to escape her heavy past with a bright future.

Even if the price was returning to blindness, she never stopped... It wasn't that she was no longer afraid of blindness, but rather her mindset, her fear of the past, that made her unable to stop, and she was semi-forced to gamble everything on the future.

So she lives in the past and the future, but... not in the present.

The cause of everything lies in the past.

They all belong to Lucia.

To perfect the saintess's mindset, we must... make up for what Lucia is missing, and make her perfect first.

What Lucia lacks... or rather, what she craves, is, barring any unforeseen circumstances,... love.

She needs to be loved.

……

The next second, the scene at home changed.

Having obtained the key information for the second instance mission, Fan Xiao ignored it and proceeded with his own plan.

The two main storylines in this instance, the "Omnipotent Main Storyline" and the "Saintess Storyline," clearly have a cause-and-effect relationship.

Completing the "Omnipotent Main Story" is a prerequisite for unlocking the "Saintess Story"—because only by completing the former can you possibly find Lucia... well, except for those who are overpowered.

The method for completing the "Saintess Route" is unrelated to the "Omnipotent Main Route".

No, in some ways there is a connection.

Lucia needs to be loved, and most likely a great deal of love—in other words, players will likely have to let Lucia take the place of the Almighty Lord after his death, becoming the object of "all love" from all the residents of the instance.

This immense love, gathered together, is the best medicine to heal Lucia.

It is a good medicine to help the saint get rid of her "past frustrations".

As for how to deal with "future anxiety"... the "past" is not over yet, so it's hard to judge for now.

Fan Xiao focused his energy on dealing with the "past".

"It's impossible to make everyone fall in love with one person, based on normal logic. So... we have to introduce supernatural powers."

"This extraordinary power is most likely the power that will only manifest after the death of a god. The first commandment of a god corresponds to the power of all love, which fits this perfectly."

"However... if I were to take action, it wouldn't be so complicated. I could simply forcefully interfere with the thoughts and consciousness of everyone in the city and implant the command to fall in love with Lucia into their minds."

Yes, Vanshaw's solution was to skip the process of defeating the Almighty and instead have him personally intervene in the thoughts of all the inhabitants of the entire instance world.

The method for completing the "Saintess Route" is unrelated to the "Omnipotent Main Route"—this is specifically for him.

Even for ordinary B-rank players, finding Lucia would require the help of the "Almighty Lord," let alone interfering with the inhabitants of the entire world.

Skipping the "Almighty Lord" and completing the task directly... that's something only a cheater could do.

"Although love is an illusion, it can bring about real spiritual elevation and improve one's mental state... Let's start with this family."

Fan Xiao's gaze fell on Ober, who was bullying Lucia.

The next second, Ober stopped moving, the agitation in his eyes quickly disappeared, and his gaze softened.

The progenitor of flesh and blood—brain modification.

The idea of ​​the four worlds—mental suggestion.

Quantum Immortality – A Future Where Memory Is Locked In.

With the three forces combined, Ober's original consciousness was directly killed.

A new consciousness was reborn in his body.

He thus became an exemplary father, the most perfect example of all.

From this moment on, "history" has changed.

If we compare the perfect state of mind to the other shore, and Lucia's current situation to a sea of ​​suffering, then... this false love brought about by the interference of extraordinary power is the boat that Lucia can use to cross the sea of ​​suffering.

The boat itself is not important; what matters is the other shore.

As long as we can reach the other shore, it doesn't matter whether the boat is real or fake.

The idea that even false emotions can lead to genuine transformation is exactly what this means.

The next second, Fan Xiao's figure disappeared from the spot and arrived at the home of the class monitor... who is also Betty.

At this moment, Betty is discussing the latest trendy dresses with her friends.

Fan Xiao showed no mercy, directly activating three types of spiritual energy to instantly kill the consciousness of the two women and replace them with new personalities—the original two were essentially dead.

It's not necessary to go to such lengths to make the dungeon residents fall in love with Lucia.

Ober, Betty, and Betty's friends—erasing the personalities and consciousness of these three was an act of personal preference by Van Shaw.

Yes, he never wrongs himself.

If you're disgusted by someone, you'll naturally resort to violence to vent your frustration.

Otherwise... if too much pressure accumulates in his heart, his great personality and noble character may be compromised.

"Phew...that feels good."

Looking at the two people in front of him whose expressions had completely changed, Fan Xiao nodded with great satisfaction.

Then, he teleported to the high sky outside the building and looked down at the city below.

Breaking the Limits - The Sea of ​​Celestial Anomalies.

In an instant, blood began to gush out wildly across the entire dungeon world, turning everything crimson.

It was as if a blood-soaked tsunami had swallowed the earth.

Even the sky was stained red by the blood-red reflection, creating an apocalyptic scene reminiscent of hell descending upon the land.

Panic broke out in the city.

Chaos ensued.

There were bursts of screams and wails.

then……

The next second everything returned to calm.

Everyone who came into contact with the sea of ​​blood had their bodies controlled and commands implanted in their brains.

Fan Xiao launched more than just the "Flesh and Blood Progenitor".

Along with the Sea of ​​Celestial Anomalies, the material world of the "Four Worlds Thought" also spread out.

Throughout the entire material world, a massive amount of mental suggestion is operating wildly.

For a moment, it seemed as if every inch of air was filled with the atmosphere of "deeply loving Lucia".

All life forms except for B-level players had their thoughts rapidly altered.

The next second, Fan Xiao sensed the change in the instance.

His figure vanished from the sky in an instant.

When he reappeared, he had already returned to Lucia's house.

At this moment, the scene around Lucia, which was about to change, seemed to freeze, with the light and shadow flickering continuously—the new plot that was supposed to be transitioning into the scene was slowly disappearing.

History... is changing.

As love from all over the world descends upon Lucia, the old history gradually dissipates and vanishes into nothingness.

A new timeline—one in which the saint possesses a perfect past—is being born.

This act of "stealing all believers" thoroughly enraged the "Almighty Lord".

The fourth commandment—the seventh day is the Sabbath, when one should put aside all work.

Limited by the difficulty and danger of B-level dungeons, "The Almighty Lord" also abides by this commandment.

The dungeon opens on the seventh day – this is a kind of protection provided by the game for the sake of balance, giving players time to do preliminary investigations and deduce a solution to the dungeon, thus gaining a certain advantage and preventing them from being forced into a major battle unprepared right from the start.

This protection comes with a prerequisite—players cannot kill instance inhabitants.
