Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Bai Lin remained silent, unsure of what to do.

"..."

Zuo Chang remained silent. He pointed to the images on the wall and said, "It's no use."

The deity remained calm: "It's not that it doesn't work, it's that the keyword wasn't triggered. As I've already said, the NPCs in the dungeon are passive; players must provide the correct guidance to advance the story."

Bai Lin was, after all, an experienced level 15 expert.

He's run dungeons at least five hundred times, so he's naturally very familiar with the ins and outs.

At this moment, if he simply stated his main objective, he would likely receive assistance, but—

So familiar!

He and Blood Rose served under the same officer. Even if they rarely interacted, they were still acquaintances, right?

Look at it now.

Blood Rose acted as if she didn't recognize him; how could he expect her to face him calmly?

He overcame his inner unease and said directly, "Chief Rose, I... I want to assassinate Arclight. Please give me some help."

"Oh?"

The switch has been triggered.

Blood Rose turned around and scoffed, "Assassinate Arc Light? That acting city lord of Heavenly King City, the high priest of the Divine Sound Society?"

Bai Lin nodded: "That's right!"

"Very courageous, but how do you prove your determination? ArcLight is no small fry. You can't just talk the talk. How do you plan to convince me?"

"..."

Bai Lin fell silent again before asking, "What do you think?"

"I won't make things difficult for you. Go and kill three Radiant Guardians to prove your stance and determination."

Blood Rose turned around again, her back to White Scale.

The next instant, Bai Lin received a brand new mission:

[Elimination Order: The Radiant Guardians are the defensive force of Heavenly King City and henchmen of the Divine Sound Society. Please kill three Radiant Guardians to prove your loyalty to Blood Rose. Current: 0/3.]

Appeared.

A very standard process for killing mobs.

Zuo Chang looked down at the celestial being and asked, "Was this also part of your calculations?"

The deity remained unfazed: "Weaving fate is my means of creating instances. When designing this spell, I referenced games on Earth. This process is essential; without it, you cannot be certain you are in an instance."

"You deliberately?"

"No, the process and mechanics of the dungeon are automatically generated by the Weaving Fate. I can no longer modify the spell models, and the materials and challenges required for each stage of the quest are no longer under my control."

is not it?

Zuo Chang was skeptical. He looked up and saw Bai Lin turn and leave, probably to ambush the Radiant Guards of Heavenly King City.

Chapter 289: This skill is seriously overpowered; it's hard to remain calm about it.

and acceptance

"Weaving Destiny"

This is a skill that can be used without manual intervention. Once activated, the spell will automatically complete the details and construct the dungeon.

White Scale needs to kill three Radiant Guardians to gain Blood Rose's trust...

From a plot design perspective, it's perfectly reasonable.

Looking at the image of the white scales sharpening their knives, Zuo Chang couldn't help but confirm again: "God, we can't change the mechanics and logic of the dungeon right now, we can only give players hints, right?"

The god nodded: "Yes."

Even gods are not born omniscient.

"Weaving Destiny" is less like magic and more like deep learning AI. The gods crammed all the games on Earth into the magic, and after learning the magic, the skill of generating dungeons became proficient.

Let's not talk about the present moment when we've lost our power.

Even at the height of her power as a goddess, she never proactively changed the dungeon mechanics. The skills were simulated exactly as they would appear in the final game.

Zuo Chang didn't know what to do now, so he could only suppress his temper and wait and see.

"Is the White Scale Knight... about to make a move? Isn't he being a little too hasty?"

Asuka looked at the projection and suddenly spoke.

Zuo Chang looked up and saw Bai Lin concealing his aura and following three Radiant Guards patrolling the city.

The three men were clearly unaware that they were being watched. They strolled casually down the street, chatting and laughing, appearing very relaxed.

The leader suddenly pointed to a small alley in front of him, and the other two understood and walked into the alley together.

Bai Lin stopped at the entrance of the alley. He slowly looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, then turned and entered the alley.

"Captain, have a smoke."

"Whoosh!"

The sounds of conversation and bursts of flames rang out one after another.

Zuo Chang saw that the three Radiant Guardians were slacking off. They deliberately went into the depths of the alley, and one of them was lighting a cigarette for the man who looked like the captain, with a flame burning on his fingertip.

"tread!"

Bai Lin appeared suddenly, crushing a yellow leaf with his foot and exposing himself to the three men's view, his face grim and sharp.

The Radiant Guardian was slightly taken aback.

One of them cursed under his breath, yelling, "What are you looking at? Never seen your grandpa smoke before? Get lost!"

Bai Lin's gaze swept across their faces: "You are the Radiant Guardians, aren't you?"

This……

The captain sensed a chilling aura, unlike the cool air in the alley; it was a more biting, more piercing sensation.

He didn't know what this omen meant, but he said with a cigarette between his fingers, "Are you blind? Can't you recognize our uniforms?"

"You're the ones who have no eyes."

White Scale, draw your sword!

Only now did the captain understand what that "chilling cold" feeling was.

That was clearly the aura of death!

"Hold!"

He roared, threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, and placed his hand on the hilt of the knife, ready to draw it.

Unfortunately, the three of them were not capable enough, and Bai Lin was determined to kill. He flashed forward, cut off one person's head with a sword, and smashed another person's chest with a punch. Then, with boundless killing intent, he raised his sword and thrust it out!

"Well?!"

The blade remained sheathed, and the battle ended almost as soon as it began.

In less than three seconds, Bai Lin killed the three of them.

"Oh--"

The celestial being, after witnessing the impressive skill, couldn't help but nod: "Not bad, not bad. This guy named Bai Lin is quite capable in combat."

What do you mean by "okay"?

Bai Lin's most outstanding skill in combat is speed and precision. Could one execute such a punch and two sword strikes without ten or twenty years of practice?

Zuo Chang turned his head and instructed, "Qiangwei, go to the scene and take a look."

Blood Rose understood and stood up, saying, "Yes, General."

The location where Bai Lin committed the murder was not far from Dragon Manor. Blood Rose was familiar with the terrain and completed the round trip in just ten minutes.

As soon as she entered, she said, "General, it's confirmed. The three Radiant Guardians died in the alley, but their cause of death is different from... uh, different from the one in the dungeon. My preliminary examination suggests they may have died of cardiac arrest."

Heart attack?

Zuo Chang looked down at the deity, who was already losing interest and even dozing off: "Your Excellency, what's going on?"

"Huh? What, what are you talking about?"

"...Weren't you listening just now?"

The god closed his eyes: "I'm a little sleepy. If you have something to say, say it; otherwise, I'd like to take a nap."

Zuo Chang maintained his composure and basic respect: "So, Rose just went to check, and the three people killed by Bai Lin are indeed dead, and they died on the spot; but their cause of death was not fist or sword wounds, but something like cardiac arrest. Why is that?"

The god opened his eyes: "This is nothing special. People who are killed in the instance will also die in reality, but their cause of death will be 'corrected'—corrected to a more reasonable reason."

Zuo Chang remained silent, listening attentively.

The deity continued, "Those killed by players will suddenly die from a serious illness; buildings, furniture, or decorations destroyed by players may be damaged due to aging or fire. This is the will of the world interfering; it will not change the outcome, but it will correct the process."

World will?

Zuo Chang still remembered that the goddess had said that the world she had cut into 100,000 pieces would be pieced back together into a supercontinent under the influence of the world's will.

He asked, "What is the will of the world?"

"The power of this planet's existence has no physical form, yet it is omnipresent. Basically, all the troubles I've encountered are caused by the world's will, which wants to get rid of me."

Ah this.

I couldn't understand it at all.

I have a feeling that this "world will" is a terrifying existence, and may even be the biggest boss in the shadows.

Zuo Chang did not want to delve into this issue for the time being, and he remained rationally silent.

What's more important now is the current instance.

The power of weaving destiny far exceeded Zuo Chang's imagination. Those who die in the game will actually die in reality.
