Chapter 17: Crossing Into the Game World!
Inside the game.
As a crack suddenly appeared out of nowhere, a man in white clothes appeared on the plain outside the Tower of Seals.
"Is this... a physical body?"
Lu Qing looked at his hands, feeling like he was in a dream, as if everything he had experienced before was just an illusion.

[Task: Mission from God!]
The Creation God has given you a mission to help your fellow players conquer the Tower of Seals.
During this time, you must not reveal your true identity to anyone, and you must keep what you know to yourself.
Please keep your identity hidden.
。。。
When Lu Qing saw this sudden message, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of bitterness, "Is this the Creation God reminding me not to forget my mission?"
"Well, let's first summarize the information we already know."
"First, I was captured by a group of bandits, then a group of people came out to kill the bandits, and I was not spared."
"As for why I ended up in that place called the Hall of Echoes, it must be related to the person who tried to kill me."
At least in Lu Qing's view.
The Ghost Shadow Corps under Chen Ye's command were not humans at all, but creatures of some extraordinary power.
"Perhaps, there were already extraordinary powers in my original world, I just didn't know about it..."
"As for who that person is, and what means they used, is currently unknown."
"There's still too little information."
"After my death, I directly came to the underworld of this world in the form of a soul, to a place called Hall of Echoes."
"Listening to the conversations of those souls, different colored souls represent different ranks, so, even souls are ranked in terms of high and low, what a cursed life..."
"Subsequently, the Creation God appeared to select souls, according to those souls, they will keep practicing certain skills here and engraving those skills into their souls."
"And the Creation God will evaluate their progress in practice and let them reincarnate."
"But it seems like that kind of reincarnation doesn't have any memories, and those guys' practiced skills... always feel a bit strange."
Lu Qing thought about this and couldn't help but look into the distance, only to see a huge black tower standing tall in the center of the plain.
Seeing this black tower, Lu Qing was completely amazed!
"This is it!"
"Tower of Seals?!"
"Isn't this the game that's been talked about online all the time?!"
"《The Sealed Land》!"
"Is this what the Creation God meant by players/fellow tribesmen?!"
Through media promotion, and the countless images captured by bloggers, the name of The Sealed Land is now widely known!
Lu Qing also applied for a spot in the closed beta, but unfortunately, he did not get selected.
He complained about it for a while, but little did he know, he would end up in the game world by a twist of fate after his death!
"Fate works in mysterious ways indeed."
"The Creation God said I would meet my kin here, who call themselves players, it's surprising."
Just as Lu Qing was sighing, a nameless fear suddenly rose in his heart!
"Wait a minute..."
"The Creation God knows about our world, and even about the concept of players and bosses!"
"And those souls, they were speaking in game terms, could it be all orchestrated by the Creation God?!"
"But this place, it's definitely not a game."
"This is another world!"
"But someone deliberately packaged all this as a game, made us believe in it, and then descended into this world!"
"Then what is his purpose?"
Just then, Lu Qing suddenly remembered a words from the Creation God.
Our world will eventually merge into one!
"The goal of the person behind the scenes is to merge two worlds?!"
"This..."
Summing up the information known so far, Lu Qing only saw two words.
Conspiracy.
The so-called game is nothing but a trick!
Before, Lu Qing was still puzzled. Logically speaking, the emergence of a game that spans eras must have a process!
From immature to mature!
The improvement of technology always has a buffering process!
This time can be short, but it must not be missing!
But the game The Sealed Land completely goes against this law!
It seems to appear out of thin air, with no buffering in between, no build-up in the early stages!
It's as if everything is already prepared, the technology is already mature, but we just don't hype it up, don't advertise!
Insisting on releasing the finished game directly!
From a gaming perspective, this is very unreasonable.
But if you see it as a scam, then it makes much more sense.
Because this is not a game at all!
People online are praising how realistic this game is, and Lu Qing didn't believe it before.
But now, he believes.
Because this is the real world!
"Everyone has been deceived, hehe."
"The so-called mysterious game company doesn't even exist, it's all a conspiracy by Creation God!"
"Creation God is the mastermind behind it all!"
"Look at those spirits, they must have known about the player's presence for a long time and have been preparing for it for who knows how many years!"
"But what's the point of saying all this now? Even if I know the truth, what can I do now?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but show a self-deprecating smile.
"At least I saw the truth, even if it's on the day when the two worlds merge, I will die with clarity."
"But isn't ignorance a kind of happiness too?"
"Sometimes, the more you know, the more you feel a sense of powerlessness and despair. How can humans fight against gods?"
Lu Qing turned directly to look at the world behind him and said, "Well, since we can't resist, let's just go along with it."
"As long as I can go back to my original world, even if it means assisting the Creation God's plot, what difference does it make?"
"Dealing with the Creation God is beyond my abilities, why should I add troubles to myself?"
Just then, Lu Qing's Eye of Truth suddenly activated!
Ding!
