Chapter 1432: Huang Yi Returns Online, Leaving Him Alone in the Entire World
A light suddenly appeared in the darkness, and his consciousness involuntarily drifted toward it. Eventually, the light turned into a vortex and devoured him.
It seed as if a long ti had passed, and suddenly, his surroundings changed.
He found himself standing in a forest, amidst the ruins of a village. The collapsed wooden houses around him were covered in moss and weeds.
Not far away, there was a dilapidated wooden house with a crooked sign hanging at its front, bearing the words "Osmanthus Inn."
At dusk, the surroundings were silent. The golden sunset slanted into the forest, casting beams of golden light. He stood alone among the ruins, as if abandoned by ti.
He stood there dazed, without moving.
This scene was familiar, as if seen in a dream, but he couldn’t recall it at the mont.
"Huang Yi!" Just then, a voice suddenly sounded in the air, followed by the appearance of a translucent woman in a white dress ahead, emitting an icy blue glow.
The words "Huang Yi" struck like lightning, suddenly piercing his chaotic consciousness and awakening sothing!
In an instant, mories surged like a tide. He bent over in pain, hands on his knees, shaking his drowsy head.
As if he had awakened after a century of sleep, he finally knew who he was—
He was Huang Yi!
While eating dinner, he suddenly sensed that the food was poisoned, and then he rembered nothing more.
"Ice Queen!" Huang Yi rubbed his heavy head and finally recognized the translucent woman ahead.
"You’ve finally resurrected!" The Ice Queen smiled reassuringly, "I made a wish to Mr. Huang Sha to resurrect you as soon as possible."
"Resurrect?" Huang Yi paused slightly, "What resurrection?"
"You were poisoned to death by World Federation agents before, and then Dao Feng used his father’s influence to mobilize Rose Prison guards to protect your body and place it in cold storage. At the recent annual ceremony, I won the Best Newcor Award, so I made a wish to Mr. Huang Sha to resurrect you. Now, you’ve been brought back to life!"
"What? I died already? The annual ceremony is over? How much ti has really passed?" Huang Yi was full of confusion, feeling a massive temporal dissonance.
Just then, he suddenly received a system prompt.
"[System Prompt]: Your feat of killing the Queen of Agony beca the ’Annual Event of the Year’ for the Fourth Annual Ceremony. You may make a wish to the Era of Corporation president Mr. Huang Sha. Would you like to et Mr. Huang Sha now?"
"No!" Huang Yi shook his head, still not fully digesting the information and unfit to et Mr. Huang Sha just yet.
"Huh? I won a prize?" Finally, he reacted.
"Yes! A lot happened after your death. Let quickly fill you in..." The Ice Queen nodded and recounted to Huang Yi the events that transpired during that ti.
"...After I made the wish to Mr. Huang Sha, I kept waiting. Just now, I finally sensed the appearance of a Heaven-Sent Man in this world, assuming it must be your return online, which is why I ca to see. God of Slaughter, now you’re the only survivor in The Second World. Whether or not the Second World can be preserved depends on you!" The Ice Queen concluded, gazing expectantly at Huang Yi.
"Aren’t you a survivor?" Huang Yi asked.
"Strictly speaking, I’m just a special kind of survivor." The Ice Queen shook her head, "After experiencing the Soul Plague, I was ant to be poisoned too, but the world rules accommodated . Now, I’ve assimilated into the world rules, I am The Second World, and The Second World is . As long as it exists, so will I. But I’m no longer a normal Heaven-Sent Man. I can guide the rules of the world and perceive events happening in every corner of The Second World, but I can’t maintain a normal player form like you. Therefore, you’re the only true survivor; your immunity to the Soul Plague is quite remarkable!"
"I have a Divine Anti-Poison Ability, so the Soul Plague doesn’t affect ." As Huang Yi spoke, he imdiately examined the current world rules.
Soon, he discovered that a toxin-trigger condition was attached to the world rules: appearing in The Second World would result in infection by the Soul Plague.
He imdiately utilized his King of the World privilege to remove this attached condition, allowing the world rules to revert to their original state.
The next mont, a solemn system announcent echoed across the realm—
"[System Announcent]: [King of the World·God of Slaughter] has modified the world rules, severing the connection between [Soul Plague] and the world rules. [Soul Plague] has been downgraded from the Ultimate Phase to the Third Phase. It will spread visually, infecting anyone who sees an infected individual, who will then succumb to poisoning and die 1 hour later."
Currently, only Huang Yi and the Ice Queen remained as players in The Second World. After the inspiring system announcent, the atmosphere was still rather desolate.
"It’s a pity I could only sever Soul Plague’s connection with the world rules. I couldn’t completely eradicate it!" Huang Yi said, shaking his head in regret.
"Then you must find a way to stop the King of Annihilation! He is currently destroying respawn points in The Second World. As long as you can delay him, it will give Dao Feng and others in the Underworld ti to find a safe way back into The Second World through God’s Tomb." The Ice Queen said solemnly.
"How many respawn points are left worldwide?" Huang Yi asked.
"7,434!" The Ice Queen stated a grave number.
"Only that few left?" Huang Yi furrowed his brow, rubbing his chin, pondering: "Going to stop the King of Annihilation now holds little value, whether there are thousands or hundreds of respawn points; it makes no essential difference. I’ll focus my efforts on solving the Soul Plague issue, because even if Dao Feng and others return to The Second World, the Spirit Demons can rise again and poison them. Going forward, you continue guiding the world rules, making every effort to stall the King of Annihilation. The Guardians will also strive to preserve the remaining respawn points, making his actions increasingly difficult!"
"Alright!" The Ice Queen nodded.
"By the way!" At that mont, Huang Yi suddenly rembered sothing and asked, "Why did you make the wish to Mr. Huang Sha to resurrect ?"
