Settlement, advancement; Wang Linchi completed the entire process seamlessly.

He didn't particularly value the Scholar profession; what he valued was the process of advancement itself.

The Fourth Transfer mission also appeared. Just like with the Third Transformation, he chose the highest-level Abyss Difficulty option.

Next is the level 110 Abyss Difficulty dungeon. That's right, to raise my Levelling Points. Wang Linchi didn't log off immediately. Instead, he first converted all his resources into strength.

He started grinding with a helper program while also browsing the forums.

The situation on the forums was much better now. At least, the various instigating posts had vanished—a clear sign that the Game System's control during this period had truly intimidated everyone.

Who would be foolish enough to probe the limits of a game that could interfere with reality and control their lives?

While browsing, he suddenly discovered a somewhat strange post. He clicked on it: ""Encountered a monster in the real world?!"" Most people were teasing the original poster, asking if they were drunk.

However, some people keenly perceived that something was amiss and urged the original poster to investigate further.

""Given the Game System's current power, it's unlikely for monsters to leak into reality, but one can't dismiss the 'what if'…""

Wang Linchi narrowed his eyes. If Abyssal Demons truly entered the real world, it would undoubtedly be a massive catastrophe.

Unfortunately, the person who posted it only left that single message, provided no other clues, and never logged on again. It seemed like they were just grandstanding.

Hasn't logged on… Could they already be dead? Wang Linchi read the post thoroughly from beginning to end; there were indeed no follow-ups.

It felt abrupt and inconclusive. If Wang Linchi hadn't chanced upon it, the post might have sunk out of sight within another half hour.

I need to be more careful lately. Wang Linchi glanced at his Cycle Remnant Mark's charge level; it had now reached seventy percent.

This was largely thanks to the Game System's help; otherwise, Wang Linchi might not have been able to accumulate it so quickly.

After the Game System began interfering with reality, the virtual reality online game "God-given World" saw its status rise steadily across the globe.

And Wang Linchi, being the sole name on the global Abyss leaderboard, found his fame spreading even faster.

Leaderboards for levels, pets, and so on, were all specific to their respective servers and not universal.

More importantly, on the Abyss leaderboard, Wang Linchi's star level had reached 7 stars, meaning he had cleared the level 70 Abyss Difficulty dungeon.

This matter naturally sparked heated discussions on the forums, but Wang Linchi had blocked them all. What's so interesting about seeing information about myself anyway? His previous reputation seemed to be improving, likely because the officials had started to clarify things and try to win him over.

Otherwise, if they antagonized such a significant combat power, and the game truly fused with reality in the future, wouldn't that be disastrous?

Not everyone could tolerate daily slander and targeting from the outside world and still choose to protect those same people. It would be considered merciful if he didn't kill them.

To take it to an extreme, if that time came, other nations might extend an invitation, perhaps even adopting a very humble stance to recruit him. Comparing that to the attitude of his own country, the choice of where to go would be obvious.

Wang Linchi didn't particularly care about these matters, though his impression of Chen Country had improved somewhat. At least they had some sense, and these measures also accelerated the charging effect of his Cycle Remnant Mark.

At most, another three months or so, and the Cycle Remnant Mark will be fully charged. I wonder how long it will take to search for other worlds this time.

The charging progress of the Cycle Remnant Mark was predictable, but searching for other worlds was not so easy.

It was inherently uncertain; there was no guarantee that searching for a specific duration would ensure finding a world.

The complete Protagonist's Treasure Reincarnation Seal possessed this function. Unfortunately, the one in Wang Linchi's hands had been dismantled into his own Cycle Remnant Mark, so the function was gone.

This was because he had removed too many unusable components, leading to its direct destruction, so he had uninstalled it altogether.

He couldn't have used it even if he hadn't uninstalled it, as the function required the assistance of a world—in other words, a world would have to pay to accelerate it.

If he wanted to, Wang Linchi could reassemble it himself in the future; the principle wasn't difficult.

Why do I feel such a sense of urgency? Wang Linchi scratched his head; he kept feeling as if something was about to happen lately.

He hadn't felt this in the Abyss Difficulty dungeons before, but he was sensing it now.

Don't tell me Ye Tian is in trouble? This thought suddenly surfaced in Wang Linchi's mind.

Otherwise, he really couldn't explain why.

It was normal for him to feel this way; after all, he possessed 20% of Ye Tian's Protagonist's Aura, so it was natural to have some sort of premonition.

Of course, this premonition could also be from the Fate Devil God. However, since the two were currently one entity, if one had a problem, both would; they wouldn't encounter issues separately.

If that's really the case, wouldn't things be terrible?

If even the dual-aspect protagonist was in trouble, it indirectly indicated that the world itself had problems. Otherwise, how could even the protagonist not be protected?

Calm down, there's still a chance. Wang Linchi couldn't help but recall the Abyssal Demon that had reportedly appeared in the real world. Given his Luck, seeing that post might have been some kind of warning, meaning things hadn't become that dangerous yet.

Wang Linchi checked the progress of his helper program's automated Levelling Points grinding—it was already halfway done.

Logging off now seemed pointless. Ye Tian still hadn't returned, so he certainly wasn't at home.

It was simple to figure out: he opened his friends list and saw that Ye Tian had last logged on sixteen days ago. This indicated that Ye Tian hadn't logged on at all since leaving home.

He hadn't returned home during this period either; if he had, he would have logged into the game by now.

He definitely wouldn't be able to log in while outside, as logging in required a Game Cabin; it wasn't possible to connect out of thin air.

For instance, the previous mandatory summons for Players to perform daily activities had only happened once, serving as a warning to make an example. The second time, they were required to log in using their own devices.

There was no need to worry about equipment either; the Game System had directly issued a basic gaming helmet to everyone. If they wanted a more advanced Game Cabin, they would naturally have to purchase it themselves.

If they still didn't log in after that, they would be considered to have failed the daily task by default and would have to accept the punishment.

But these people are truly useless… Ye Tian hasn't logged in for half a month, and yet he's still number one on some leaderboards, Wang Linchi grumbled inwardly.

If this keeps up, I'll be the one taking the top spot on all leaderboards soon enough.

Wang Linchi checked the leaderboards; he had climbed higher on several of them. This was mainly because he had invested so many Abyss Crystals; it would be a waste of the Game System's support if he still couldn't reach the top spot.

This support made Wang Linchi feel somewhat resigned. After all, rights and responsibilities were linked. Next, he might be dragged in to fix problems.

「...」

"Damn! What on earth is this monster? How can it be unkillable?!" Ye Tian fled at top speed, his body covered in numerous injuries.

He was now a step ahead, having already synchronized his game character's abilities with his real-world body. This was the reward the Game System had given him for completing tasks these past days.

It's an Erroneous Sin, an error formed from the clash between the two forces of Chaos and Order, in his mind, the Fate Devil God sounded half-dead from fright.

"Speak plainly! How do we kill this thing? If I hadn't synchronized my in-game abilities just now, that last hit would have killed me." Ye Tian watched his Health rapidly recovering. If not for a one-time death-defying ability, he would have been done for on the spot.

Imagine your world is a person, and Order and Chaos are two completely different ideologies. When these two ideologies collide, they drive the person into a dead end from which they cannot escape. That dead end is the Erroneous Sin.

They are errors of rules, possessing attributes of both Order and Chaos, and they instinctively devour these two attributes to sustain themselves.

And the most effective way for them to devour is to use their own erroneous rules to kill us, then devour us directly.

As for killing them, that's utter nonsense. Can you kill things like air, breath, or language?

Listening to the Fate Devil God's words, Ye Tian's heart sank.

"Then what should we do?" Ye Tian could only ask while fleeing.

Use other erroneous rules to make its two erroneous rules entangle. There's a chance this could cause them to conflict and nullify each other, forcing it into a crashed state.

However, there are no other erroneous rules nearby at all. The Fate Devil God knew a fair amount; after all, it was an Abyss Offspring.

"Wait, are you saying there are more of these things?!" Ye Tian was shocked.

They're like viruses. The appearance of one signifies the birth of many more Erroneous Sins, the Fate Devil God affirmed.
