Volume 10: Doomsday Storm Chapter 624: Time Travel: Game Restart
After hearing this world announcement, all the players were stunned.
Holy shit, is this true? This is too fantastical, right? Can you actually travel through time?
But without immortality, wouldn’t I die if I wasn’t careful?
It's one thing to play games while lying in bed with a headset on, but it's another to venture into the dangerous world of Azeroth in person.
No matter how badly a player does in the real world, at least his life safety can be guaranteed. Azeroth is a place where there is a world-destroying crisis every day and it is not safe anywhere. Would it be safe if you really went there?
People who have this idea undoubtedly make up the majority. It’s okay to read time-travel novels and fantasize about them on a daily basis, but when the critical moment comes, most people still don’t dare to take that step.
Soon, the white light of the offline indicator began to flash wildly, and people kept quitting the game.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, just quit the game first. What if it is true?
Are you kidding me? I'm here to play games, not to do any real-life adventures.
Especially those players who play with free templates are just ordinary soldiers. If they travel through time, they will only be cannon fodder.
Adventurer players are a little better, after all, they are versatile, but most of them back off when they think that they can no longer be resurrected.
But many people also choose to stay and start a real journey into another world, which is much more exciting and challenging than playing games.
Those who were more confident in their own abilities chose to stay and wait and see.
There are also many hero players and lord players who have strong strength and profound background. The thought of being able to master real extraordinary powers in a real world and become a superior person makes them feel very excited.
In the midst of this chaos, Emperor Shenwu looked hesitantly at the employees behind him.
Emperor Shenwu (Centaur Emperor): "Everyone, it's been an honor to work with you and be your boss, but now it seems that we have to say goodbye."
Shadow of War was shocked. " Boss , you don't want to stay, do you? The company still depends on you to steer it."
"Yes, boss. Haotian Group is your hard work. If you stay, do you not want the company anymore?"
The Emperor Shenwu shook his head and said, "No, there is nothing in the real world worth lingering on. Money is something I care about when I don't have it, but it's just that when I make a lot of money. No matter how much money I have, it can't buy health and life, let alone - strength!
Pava! If I were to abandon this powerful Pava and return to the real world to be an ordinary person, I would really not be able to get used to it. "
The Great Emperor Shenwu looked at his majestic body, his rock-like muscles, and the surging earth power in his body, and his determination became even stronger.
This is what I want, to become a real strong man, to become an emperor. What's so great about being a business tycoon? You can only bow your head in front of real power.
But in this world, he could reach the pinnacle of power! Not to mention this powerful supernatural power.
"If you want to leave, please leave now. I will use the network function to make some arrangements for the company in the remaining half an hour. In addition, all those who perform well this time will be promoted and have their salaries increased. I will not treat my own people unfairly.
Of course, if you are willing to stay, I am still willing to lead you to open up a new foundation. According to what Brother Aidan said, the system will reasonably write our character background into the world, which means that our current identity will remain the same after we travel through time. "
"Sorry, boss. I have a wife and kids. I'll leave first."
"Me too. Mainly because centaurs are not my cup of tea. It's ok to play with them, but I can't stand being reincarnated as a centaur."
"Goodbye, boss. Fighting and killing is not for me."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, people kept logging off, but some stayed.
Emperor Shenwu looked around and saw that there were only a few of his employees left who had fought in the war with him.
"Shadow of War, aren't you leaving?"
Shadow of War was his comrade-in-arms when he was in the army. They had been good friends since they were in the army. After he successfully started his own business, he asked this old friend to be his bodyguard, and they had fun together on weekdays.
Shadow of War shook his head, "Of course I have to stay. I don't trust you to fight alone in this world. Besides, as you said, how can I abandon such a power?"
"Ah, I want to stay too, but the Centaurs are so ugly!" Xiao Liu said helplessly.
Centaurs are actually quite handsome, at least they can be described as majestic and powerful, it’s just that their four legs are a little hard to get used to, but they’re still much better than goblins, kobolds, and the like.
Male players can accept it to some extent, but female players generally cannot accept it. It's okay in the game, but if they really become centaur girls, unless it is specially prepared, they really can't accept it.
The conversation between several players nearby made Emperor Shenwu's eyes light up.
"Damn it! I really want to stay here, but I chose a ghost. How can I play?"
"Hurry up and log out and re-create your character."
"Ah! Right, right, right, hurry up and create a new account, I want to play elves and heroes!"
"Haha, this is a good idea. I want to go to Stormwind City and become the lord!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the white light of logout kept flashing. Many players who had previously chosen non-mainstream characters would create new accounts. Many people even spent a lot of money to buy hero templates, lord templates, and at the very least, they would get an elite template to play with.
But all over the world, there are also people who claim to have seen through it all, sneering at the crazy actions of the players around them.
Big Teeth (Kobold Geomancer): "Hahahaha, I knew this was a marketing strategy of the game company. It's just a new version, but you make it look real. Seeing you guys spending money like crazy to open accounts, the game company must be very happy. I'm not stupid. You want me to spend money? Wishful thinking."
Yanlong Zaitian (Goblin Pyromancer): "You're right. I finally reached the BOSS level on my account and I'm having a blast. Forget about restarting the account. I want to see what the so-called real world is like."
Fish in Water (Murloc Leader): "Guluwawa gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle!"
The Emperor Shenwu's eyes lit up.
"If you want to stay but don't like the Centaurs, just tell me. I'll pay you and you can just open a new account. The limit is one million per person, and you can choose any hero lord you want."
Ma Ta Si Fang (Centaur Warlord): "Haha, boss, you are so generous. Give me one million. I want to play a night elf hero."
Ma Xiaofang (Centaur Storm Priest): "Boss, I also want to change my account. I want to change to a high elf hero account. Can you lend me some money?"
Emperor Shenwu (Centaur Emperor): "No problem. Anyone who wants to create a new account should speak up. When I expand my territory, remember to exchange secret codes with me. We will work together to build an empire."
The subordinates who wanted to stay immediately showed expressions.
Although a new account needs to be trained from scratch, it is still easy to grow as long as you have the heroic background, identity, and talents.
The Emperor Shenwu and a group of employees were busy setting up the account.
On the other side, Badao Wuqing and Godwin started discussing.
"Godwin, do you want to stay?"
"No!" Godwin's idea was very simple. In reality, I am a super awesome superpower user, but in this world, I am just an 'ordinary' holy light user and cannot be sold at a high price at all.
Although being a king is not bad, it is still far from being a world ruler.
The key is that there are gods above you, and it's not fun to be someone else's younger brother.
However, he did not express his thoughts, but sent a private message to Murphy.
Godwin: "Boss Aidan, are you coming back to reality?" Godwin asked tentatively.
Aidan: "I'm not going back. There's nothing left in that world that I'm attached to. I'm afraid you'll have to rule the world alone."
Godwin: "Then I'll retreat!" This answer made Godwin feel relieved. Without the existence of the Dragon God Aidan, he would probably become the king in reality.
Exited the game immediately.
However, he was destined to overthink it. Dia Pineapple chose to log off without hesitation the moment the world announcement sounded. He had already mastered powerful fel power and absorbed part of the fel power of Sargeras' clone. Although it was not perfect enough, he was already considered a demon king-level existence.
There might be some conflict between these two, one is a holy spirit and the other is a demon king, in the future, but that is a matter for the future.
Badao Wuqing also retreated after seeing this. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Emperor Shenwu for the balance. Emperor Shenwu was very straightforward and directly arranged for someone to transfer the money to Badao Wuqing.
Before leaving, Badao Wuqing remembered something.
"Old Hou, we have known each other for a while, but I am afraid we will not see each other again in the future. I was really sorry for you in the battle at Dagger Ridge. Here, I will leave this thing for you to remember, as a token of my appreciation. You will be the chieftain in the future."
As Ba Dao Wu Qing said this, he handed the krypton gold blade of the Ashbringer Warchief to Grom.
At the same time, the position of Chieftain was transferred to Grom.
Grom felt a little complicated after hearing this. Although Ba Dao Wu Qing seemed a little cowardly at times, as a great chief, he at least brought the tribe back from the brink of collapse, and under Ba Dao Wu Qing's leadership, the tribe developed quite prosperously. From this point of view, Ba Dao Wu Qing did a good job.
He bowed his head towards Ba Dao Wu Qing.
"Goodbye, Great Chieftain - you have proved with your actions that you are a true orc, a true warrior, and you have my respect."
"Ha, it's worth it to have you say that."
Ba Dao Wu Qing and Grom hugged each other tightly, patted the shoulders of Xiao Hou and Xiao Saurfang, turned around and went offline.
Morgan Lisa hesitated for a while and chose to log off, but she did not forget to say goodbye to Murphy before leaving.
Morgan Lisa: "Goodbye Aidan, thank you for your help and letting me know the secret of this game. To be honest, I really want to stay, but I have a family, so I can only choose to leave. Maybe I will be a guardian in our world."
Aidan: "Bye Morgan Lisa, good luck to you."
Half an hour passed quickly, and more than 90% of the players in the entire game had already quit.
Even among those who stayed, not everyone wanted to travel through time. Many did not believe Murphy's words. They thought that restarting the world and traveling through time must be marketing activities organized by the game company.
Murphy didn't say anything else. Everyone had to bear the consequences of their own choices.
He used his mental power to control the entire gaming system and began to roll back and reshape the game.
At the same time, begin to untie the system and the world.
Once the world is restored to the way he wants it, there is no need for the system to continue to exist.
[System prompt: Thank you, player Murphy. Once the system is released, you will also lose the power to control everything. Are you sure you want to do this? ]
"I'm sure. I have the power of the Dragon God, which is enough. Forget about the power of controlling the universe. This thing is a bit annoying to use."
It's not that Murphy is a noble man, it's just that he can't afford this power.
The power of the system is indeed magical. When his spirit merges with the Pillars of Creation, he can regulate the entire universe, modify and reshape the laws. He is simply a god-like existence.
But this system is indeed a horrible burden. It has to process data and information from the entire universe at the same time. Even if it ignores most of it, the remaining information is still massive. In just thirty minutes, Murphy almost went crazy. He couldn't bear it if it continued like this.
He could feel that if he continued to let his mind control the system, he would either go crazy or be assimilated by the system and become a brainless god with a mechanical mind.
His pursuit of power is not that crazy yet, so he should just be an 'ordinary' dragon god.
[System prompt: Thank you, please choose your method of restarting the Sky World. ]
"Time is restarted, the game is rolled back, and the system and the Skyworld are completely untied, allowing Azeroth to return to its original state."
At this point, almost all the heroes in Azeroth are dead. If the system is destroyed directly at this point in time, it will not be the end of the world, but it will not be much different.
The entire Azeroth will fall into chaos, and Sargeras is still watching covetously. A new void will is also brewing in the void. Without the protection of these heroes, Azeroth will inevitably fall into despair.
Although I am powerful, I can't always be tied to Azeroth and guard the gate for others every day.
At the same time, Murphy didn't want the information he had said before to be completely remembered by these plot characters. After all, if that happened, the players and the plot characters would inevitably be hostile to each other. I'm afraid that there would be no need to wait for the evil villains to invade before the players and the plot characters would have to fight each other.
Let's go back to the starting point and start over in a brand new way.
Murphy imported the details of his modifications and reshaping of the world into the system one by one, and then chose to rewind.
【System prompt: Please set the time point you want to roll back. 】
"One year before the Dark Portal opened."
[System prompt: Time confirmed, game replay in progress - Player Murphy, I don't think we will see each other again. ]
Murphy knew why. The system was a special existence formed after fate was rewritten by the six forces. As fate was unlocked, the system would no longer exist. It was more like returning to its original form, a form that could not be observed.
At the moment Murphy made his choice.
The world suddenly came to a standstill, and then time began to flow backwards madly. Everything was distorted like an abstract painting. The characters in the plot and the players were all caught in a strange picture, spinning and twisting. Time was going backwards, and the system was gradually collapsing and disintegrating.
The thread of fate guides everyone and sends them to their respective starting points.
Only Murphy led the ancient dragon clan, standing still in the countercurrent of time.
Not affected by time.
At the same time, in countless locations in the real world, players wearing gaming helmets and lying in gaming cabins gradually became transparent and eventually disappeared.
