Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 328 - Returning Player Gift Pack

Wu Chen knew about this world; he knew it was a vast world with a huge setting, numerous storylines, and many prequels, sequels, and side stories. And the theme of the story in this world was actually a classic adventure.

The adventure of a warrior, the gradual growth of a mischievous kid with a head full of lewd thoughts, until he is able to shoulder the weight of the entire world—an epic saga rich with suggestive content. In the realm of adult games, it can essentially be considered a landmark, a vast and immortal masterpiece.

There are many characters and a great deal of detail. However, if one can look down from a more detached perspective, one will find that all the content of this epic work is actually just insignificant fragments of events.

Because this is a cruel world.

In some ways, it is an even more brutal world than notoriously terrible games like Warhammer and Berserk.

Because the supreme being in this world, the sole creator far surpassing everything else, the Void Whale 'Ludrasaum', is a capricious and bored supreme god. And His only way of finding happiness is to derive pleasure from watching tragedies.

He thus created three servants known as the 'Three Super Gods'. These three servants, along with a demon king born from the remnants of the void, created a theatrical world for His enjoyment—a world with a very simple theme: to continuously create protagonist races to build prosperous civilizations, only to have those civilizations destroyed and ravaged by a demon king, also created by the Super Gods.

This is the essence of this world: all beautiful things are born to be destroyed and annihilated, pleasing the Creator with their magnificent decay. Like a castle piled on the beach, no matter how hard the children who built it tried, its final fate is destined to dissipate at the feet of the children who finally finished, or to be swept away by the great tide.

Everything is meaningless.

All the resistance, all the struggle, all the pain, all the cries—all are for the pleasure of the Creator. The mighty Demon King will slaughter all intelligent life on Earth. And heroes will be born as the number of intelligent life dwindles. The more that die, the stronger the hero becomes, even capable of defeating the three supreme gods. However, once a hero's lifespan exceeds twenty, this irrational power acquired through the hero system will vanish in an instant.

Everything is a cyclical circle.

Lance's story is merely a special point in this vast tapestry of cycles. Having defeated the demons in countless adventures, Lance, naturally, is possessed by the Demon King's power at the end of the story, becoming the new Demon King with an invincible barrier, destined to rage and rage under the interference of the Demon King system. But before he is defeated by the next hero, one of his confidantes brings a glimmer of hope to his predetermined fate.

She managed to gain an audience with the Void Whale, who was the creator.

She later gave birth to a newborn child.

She allowed the Creator's will to reside within this mortal body, no longer as a spectator, but as an experiencer, personally traversing this tragic world trapped in the cycle of fate. And in the play of the Creator's incarnate body, she, as a pure mother, gave all her love to this mortal body of the Creator.

She thus won—she made the Void Whale feel love, and then possess love. The world was no longer a window to the world in her palm, but something far more precious to her. And from then on, the world gained a bright future.

Maybe.

The hero Lance also met his end, dying peacefully at the end of his life.

However, even if the Creator receives love, it will eventually grow weary. Because as the absolutely powerful being, it possesses the capacity and ability to tear everything down and rebuild—whatever it can do, it will continue to do. Because objectively, there is nothing that can restrain or stop it.

So everything is ultimately just a constantly repeating circle. The only difference is that Lance's generation experienced slightly more twists and turns. This grand epic will still end in tragedy. Therefore, everything that happens on this land is actually meaningless. After all, no one can defeat that Void White Whale. And even the Demon King, who in a sense shares the same origin as the White Whale and possesses an infinitely small chance of turning the tables... his victory will not change the predetermined script for the better.

what a pity.

"So... this is the only world I can go to now?" Memories flowed through Wu Chen's mind, and his final response was to rub his temples. "Even if this great white whale doesn't have the level of Anu-Padomé, it should at least have the combat power of a high-level demon god. And this is its home ground... I don't want to be chased to the heavens and the earth by a demon god again."

"So you think you'll be discovered by a high-ranking demon god?"

"I think so."

"I don't think so."

“You said the same thing to me before…you were hinting at it.” Wu Chen glanced at his 'friend'. “And look at me now, I don’t even want to go back to the Mondas world.”

“But you are different from before.” The friend shook his head. It certainly didn’t mean ’combat power’ or ’fundamental’ differences. It simply stretched out its hand and pointed to a prize in Wu Chen’s hand, a trophy.

"You have this."

Wu Chen pulled an ancient scroll from his pocket—he himself hadn't expected to find such a treasure. This was his dream, and in a dream, he was supposed to only possess what already 'belonged' to him.

"Returning players always get a big gift package, right?" My friend shrugged.

So Wu Chen continued to reach into his pocket.

This time, he touched the edge of Magnus's Staff—his friend glared at him fiercely.

So he let go, put away the staff, and pretended he hadn't noticed.

“Fragments of a world.” His friend nodded in satisfaction, pointing at the Elder Scroll in his hand. “Mundas is a very high-level world. Its active fragments are enough to shield you from the eyes of all gods of lower rank. That Void Whale is just a little lower in rank. So, unless you deliberately rush in front of it and self-destruct, or blow up half a continent, it won’t know you’re from another world.”

It's better than I expected.

At least he avoided being instantly overwhelmed by the demons upon his arrival—the unfortunate fate of the Windhelm War was ultimately erased from his life. Unfortunately, if he hadn't encountered the demons, he might still be adventuring on the land of Mondas.

Perhaps I would be building a wizard's manor in Loristed?
Wu Chen shook his head, dismissing these irrelevant thoughts. Ultimately, everything had to move forward, and he was ready to embark on a new journey.

But before that—

“I still have some things to take care of,” he said.

His friend gestured for him to do as he pleased.

The next moment, he opened his eyes again in the real world.
