T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 626, Section 625: Correcting the Unfinished Story

Seeing that Jiang Heyi only had the three members of the Bedding, Inkfish and Four Primal Bodies destroy a minor life box before signaling them to return to the team, it seemed that he did not intend to continue the search.

Nafiel finally couldn't help but speak up.

"The shattering of the core life box only severely damaged Gorkaron's essence, greatly weakening his power and making it impossible for him to return to his peak."

"But as long as one of his life-saving caskets remains, he still has the possibility of a slow recovery and a comeback!"

Her tone carried a barely perceptible anxiety, as if she already considered herself part of the team.

"What we need to do is immediately search every corner of the tenth floor, find and destroy all the remaining life boxes, so as to eliminate the threat forever!"

The elegant Lenalasia, in her black cat form, nodded slightly, her golden eyes reflecting the same worry.

“Nafir is right. To deal with liches, we must eliminate them completely.”

She and Nafiel had no choice but to board the "pirate ship" that straddled the boundary between reality and illusion.

There is no other way out but to do everything in my power to offer advice and strategies to the team and prove my own worth.

“Of course I know you’re right.” Jiang Heyi’s gaze swept over the two new “subordinates,” his tone calm but unquestionable. “But now, we don’t have time to do this.”

Gloria glanced at her fellow Sunrain companions behind her.

"Are you short-handed? We can help."

Seeing that Jiang Heyi was still shaking his head, the straightforward Demon-Suppressing Giant Bear Henila Kai simply sat down on the ground, his heavy body causing the ground to tremble slightly.

He scratched his fluffy head and asked the question that lingered in the minds of all the Sunrain members:

"Since that's the case, while we still have some time, could you please explain what's going on? Do we... know each other before?"

Upon seeing this, everyone at the boundary between the real and the virtual world burst into laughter, covering their mouths.

Jiang Heyi and French Fries exchanged a glance, both showing a relieved expression that said, "As expected, it has come to this."

He said, "Of course."

"Oh?" Plata, the female team member with dazzling butterfly wings, stepped forward gracefully, her eyes filled with curiosity and wariness. "But we know nothing about you... Could it be that you also know my name?"

"Plata the Immaculate Light".

Prata's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she turned to look at her companion in disbelief.

Someone else, not believing in superstition, pointed to himself.

"So you're not just spouting nonsense based on names like Gloria and the Silly Bear? Then tell me, who am I?"

"The least noticeable captain, the Rain of Annihilation, Volwin."

Walvin was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

The other members of Sunrain couldn't help but stifle their laughter, and even Gloria shook her head helplessly.

That hits the nail on the head.

Because of Gloria's dazzling personal charm and radiance, outsiders often mistakenly believe that she is the leader of the Sun Shower.

As for Walvin, the true captain who originally formed the team, he became almost invisible due to his low-key style.

Jiang Heyi smiled and waved his hand: "Alright, stop asking one by one, I'll just answer it all at once."

His gaze swept over each member of the Sunrain Squad in turn, and he fluently called out their names and titles as if a homeroom teacher were calling roll.

"The Evil Spear Golovin"

"Spirit-Burning Sorcerer Rona"

"Ra Vanirsis, the Gluttonous Water"

"Shadow Thief Ghost Mouse"

With each name announced, a member of the Sunrain team showed increasing surprise.

Finally, Jiang Heyi turned his gaze back to the stunned crowd and slowly added.

“It’s not just your names. I know everything about each of you. Your respective magic specialties, your fighting styles, when and why you formed a team, and the unforgettable adventures and even setbacks you went through together.

To prove his point, he casually mentioned a few details about how the Demon-Suppressing Bear Henilakai met the team and was eventually persuaded to join.

Some of the private, unknown details were recounted, sending a chill down the spines of every member of Sunrain.

It was as if an invisible eye had been watching them silently from the shadows throughout their entire journey.

Every single person has no secrets from this mysterious team that calls itself the "boundary between reality and illusion".

Gloria tried her best to maintain her trust in the boundary between reality and illusion, but Jiang Heyi's words were too shocking, and her heart inevitably wavered.

"We...we shouldn't be enemies, right?"

French Fries slowly and firmly shook his head at her, his tone sincere and certain.

“No, quite the opposite, everyone here,” she gestured with her hand to include all the members of the boundary between the real and virtual worlds, “is your friend.”

"Only for me?" Gloria frowned even more; this answer seemed even stranger.

Jiang Heyi added, "Aside from you and Ghost Rat, we haven't had much interaction, but if possible, we wouldn't mind learning more about each other in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow beside him rippled like water.

The shadow rat, known as the "Shadow Thief," hesitated for a moment before slowly "crawling" out of the shadow, revealing only half its head. Its hands gripped the edge of the shadow, and its large eyes were filled with intense curiosity and doubt.

Her petite figure and cautious demeanor truly resembled a little mouse peeking out of the sewer to observe the outside world.

“Actually,” the squid interjected, as if a fond memory had been stirred within him. He walked over to the Demon-Suppressing Giant Bear, Henilakai, and sat down naturally, his tone filled with undisguised gratitude, “it was your outstanding performance and legendary experiences in the Temple of the Clarity that made us who we are today.”

He poked his chin with his index finger in the blanket: "If I hadn't met you guys, Origin Element would probably have ended up in jail, and the live stream wouldn't have been so entertaining."

Gloria rubbed her slightly sore eyebrows, feeling overwhelmed and confused by the sheer volume of information.

She could clearly sense that the mysterious group in front of her were all caught up in a shared, warm, and beautiful memory.

That memory seems to be filled with the figures of their Sunrain Squad.

Moreover, he is a figure of immense prestige and high esteem.

But... she tried hard to recall, and was absolutely certain that these people did not exist in her memory at all!
The stark contrast between her memories and reality made her feel inexplicably dizzy.

It's time to reveal everything.

Jiang Heyi took a deep breath and threw out a bomb that was enough to petrify everyone in Sunrain.

"We come from 100 years in the future."

The air seemed to freeze.

After a long while, the Demon-Suppressing Giant Bear finally replied blankly.

"Wow..." All the expressions on his hairy face froze.

Clearly, his brain, which wasn't known for complex thinking, was completely unable to process this overly surreal statement, and he couldn't find any suitable expression to respond.

Gloria's headache worsened.

"100 years...after?" She repeated the word, trying to understand its meaning. "Then, how did you get back? Could it be that 100 years later, someone in the magical world has successfully developed a forbidden technique that can reverse time?"

This conjecture itself is already alarming enough.

However, when she saw the subtle, somewhat bitter smiles on the faces of the people at the boundary between the virtual and the real, she knew that this seemingly most reasonable guess was probably wrong.

But she couldn't help but want to believe it was true.

Gloria took a deep breath: "I'll accept this strange explanation for now, but... what does it have to do with us?"

The demon-suppressing giant bear slammed its paws together.

"I see. Actually, 100 years from now, we'll already be a household name and a legend, right?"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and even began to fill in the gaps in his own logic.

"Perhaps, that secret technique for reversing time was created by one of us!"

"Well... he may not have done it himself, but he is very likely the most crucial founder of this great research path."

"Therefore, when this research was successful, the future magicians immediately sent people to 'trace the origins' back to the era in which it all began, to witness the birth of a legend!"

He managed to get everyone else at Sunrain excited too.

This absurd claim of "coming from 100 years in the future" seems to be plausible.

Vanassis, who was always considered the most academically gifted and researcher-like in the team, was immediately looked at with great interest by his companions and was speculated to be the one closest to this great conjecture.

In an instant, everyone in the Sun Shower group went to Jiang Heyi to get their answers.

However, Jiang Heyi simply pursed her lips.

He spoke slowly, instantly shattering all beautiful illusions.

"It's a pity... You have indeed become legends, but only we know about these legends."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over each of Taiyangyu's faces, which froze for a moment, before uttering the words that would ultimately decide their fate.

"In the original history, from the moment you stepped into this temple, it was destined that... you would never be able to leave."

The Eternal Night Invades.

The Saintess is summoned.

Dominate and aid.

The world consciousness reacted, launching indiscriminate blockade attacks.

Ultimately, he delivered that inevitable ending.

All members of the Sun Shower have perished.

The suffocating silence, like a thick fog, instantly filled the air, so heavy that it was almost impossible to breathe.

Knowing one's predetermined fate, a fate destined to die, is a cruel truth that can shatter the mind of anyone.

Gloria's face was deathly pale, and she felt dizzy, almost unable to stand.

"Is there... is there anything that can verify your statement?"

Her voice was weak, with a noticeable tremor.

Ever since meeting the boundary between the virtual and the real, every word Jiang Heyi uttered carried a tremendous amount of information that overturned her understanding. Her thoughts were completely overloaded, and she was on the verge of collapse.

“If the timeline is not messed up,” Jiang Heyi’s tone remained calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty, “at this very moment, the Sovereign’s messenger should have already descended and is dealing with the eternal night believers on the 9th floor.”

In order to keep up with the incredible progress of the boundary between reality and illusion, the Sunrain Squad had previously adopted the advice of the Slime King "Deep Green" and accelerated their journey to avoid any unnecessary battles.

Therefore, when they passed through the 9th level, they did indeed see with their own eyes the enormous, dark mass of Eternal Night believers, as well as the few remaining Clear Ones struggling to survive among them.

Logically speaking, it should only be a matter of time before the main force of the Eternal Night clears out the 9th floor and breaks into the 10th floor.

Strangely, since they entered the 10th floor and merged with the boundary between reality and illusion, almost half a day has passed, yet there has been no further movement. Could it be...?

With heavy and disbelief in their hearts, the entire Sun Shower team followed the boundary between reality and illusion, quietly returning to the connecting platform between the 9th and 10th floors along the path they had come from.

When they once again found themselves at this high vantage point with a panoramic view, gazing down at the vast arena below, all the Sunrain team members, including Gloria, fell into a deathly silence.

The two "puppies," already numb from Jiang Heyi's series of astonishing words, and their pet insect, Insect Mist, all opened their mouths wide in surprise.

Their pupils reflected the unimaginable, apocalyptic scene below.

Above the 9th level of the arena, a colossal, complex, and strangely multifaceted object, constantly shimmering with a cold, eerie light, floated in the air.

It slowly rotates, each rotation violently tearing apart the surrounding space, leaving behind brief, dark cracks.

Within the terrifying polyhedron, dolls were being continuously dumped downwards, much like a swarm of bees pouring out of its nest.

Those exquisitely crafted yet expressionless, stiff yet highly efficient puppets, like tigers among sheep, slaughtered indiscriminately. The techniques they used were similar, yet clearly different from those they knew.

Jiang Heyi gently patted Gloria's shoulder.

His eyes held only a deep, sincere longing to be understood.

"I know this is hardly reassuring evidence. After all, you might think that we are the rulers, deliberately deceiving and numbing you heroes who are about to change history."

"But I really just wanted you to know..."

He turned and surveyed everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion.

“We could have chosen not to come. This is a dangerous road, one that could very well lead to our demise.”

"What finally made us decide..." His gaze returned to Gloria and her team, his eyes filled with pure respect, "was your deeds."

"It is your courage to fight to the last moment in desperate situations, and it is that legend that has been sealed away and forgotten, but should not be buried."

"The Sun Shower Squad is the true protagonist of this history, and they are heroes who should be remembered. You should not, and absolutely cannot, perish in this temple in obscurity."

"We're here to fix this unfinished story."

"Since the world consciousness has written such a terrible ending, then we will correct it."

“We used to be gamers, and we loved to get perfect playthroughs.”

After a long silence, Gloria took a deep breath and extended her hand to Jiang Heyi.

"I believe you."
