The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

"What? Don't tell me this illusionary divine stele can drive people insane?"

Bing Shen swirled his wine glass.

"Think about it, if you were suddenly crammed into your brain the entire history of the rise and fall of a civilization, could you handle it?"

Song Gua frowned slightly.

"The rise and fall of an entire civilization? Is the so-called Illusionary Divine Stele a container for information?"

"More or less. I don't know much about it, but I do know that this is something the federal government values ​​very much, and they have stockpiles of it in various important vaults."

"You stole it?"

"Are you kidding? What do we, the Night Owl Thieves, do? We steal, of course!"

Unfortunately, we had too few people in the Huaxia Administrative Region, and no one came to meet me, which meant I was constantly being hunted down by Yue Sheng and his gang.

After hiding for several months, he was finally caught.

"Has the Illusionary Divine Stele always been with you?"

"If it were me, I would be dead by now."

After I was captured, I pretended to have seen the divine stele. Because my brain couldn't handle so much information, I broke down and became crazy.

They wanted to know where I had hidden the sacred tablet, so they didn't do anything to me and even went around looking for doctors to treat my illness.

Of course, you can never cure someone who is faking illness.

In fact, I did see it, and after just one glance, my head almost exploded.

During that period, I felt like something was wrong with my nerves. I was often in a daze, unable to distinguish east from west, and even began to question whether the world was real or not.

See, isn't this just a sign of mental illness?

I knew what that state was like, so my act was flawless.

North Wind (Big Smart) nodded repeatedly, "I understand."

Bing Shen added a sentence.

"Luckily, the divine stele I stole was the smallest kind. Even so, I couldn't stand looking at it."

If it were something large in scale, I'd probably get bogged down in a sea of ​​information and unable to escape.

The information I gained from the sacred monument was quickly forgotten over time, and my mental instability gradually subsided.

"Does simply staring at that thing allow information to be injected into the brain?"

"That's right."

"The Illusionary Divine Stele... Is the information provided within the stele about illusions?"

"That's right. It's said that each illusion has a corresponding divine stele, but the illusion and the divine stele don't necessarily appear at the same time. Sometimes the illusion appears before the divine stele appears, and sometimes the reverse is also true."

"Wait, I remember, the Illusionary Realm isn't part of the game 'Cleric,' right?"

The current situation on Earth is a result of the merging of games with reality.

The game "Cleric," which swept the world 1,200 years ago, became a legend after all its backups disappeared when it was integrated into reality.

However, related game guides and player gameplay videos are still available.

It's not very useful for reference anymore.

Because the game mechanics have been adapted to the real world after being integrated into reality, they are quite different from the original.

During the three months that Song Gua spent in the labor camp, he gained a relatively thorough understanding of the game "The Cleric".

The original version did not include the Illusionary Realm gameplay.

The words of Bing Shen also confirm this point.

"Indeed, illusions and divine monuments appeared later than the integration of 'The Cleric' into reality, probably about a thousand years ago?"

A thousand years ago?

Isn't that exactly the dividing point between the Golden Age and the New Calendar?

Previously, I felt that the transition between the two eras was somewhat abrupt, lacking a major event.

Could this be an illusion?

What exactly is this illusion?

According to what I learned online from Song Gua.

There was nothing quantifiable in the illusion; it felt like another real world.

However, it is incomplete.

It may be the size of a city, or even smaller.

The creatures living inside are diverse, some possessing extraordinary powers, but they are not part of the professional system; rather, they are a motley crew.

Superpowers, sorcery, martial arts, magic, the bizarre...

There are even illusions created by cultivators!

Strangely, in this flawed world, all living beings and rules function normally.

For example, some worlds may not have a sun, but they still have light, and plants can still grow.

That's very unscientific.

That's why humans call it an illusion, believing that the world of illusions may simply be a mirage.

Although it's an illusion, some things can be brought out from within it.

What can be brought out are all extraordinary resources, and once they enter Earth, they will automatically be converted into resources for professionals.

Resources such as water, oil, wood, and common metals, which existed before the game merged with reality, cannot be brought out.

The extraordinary resources in the illusion, when they enter reality, transform into resources for professionals.

It follows a basic principle.

In other words, things that are rare and precious in the original world will be of high quality and grade when brought out, while things that are common and ordinary in the original world will be of low quality and grade.

Just like the elixirs that strengthen the body and nourish the vital energy, they are very common in the world of cultivation. Ordinary people who take them will have all their diseases cured and become strong and healthy.

However, when brought to Earth, it loses its effectiveness and becomes just a small life potion.

Even so, the illusion is enough to attract professionals like moths to a flame.

Because resources obtained in this way may contain things that are extremely difficult to obtain on Earth.

However, the things in the illusion are not so easy to obtain.

A low-intensity illusion, restricting the level of the profession that can enter.

The illusion is highly intense and contains many powerful individuals. Even if a high-level professional enters, after robbing people all over the streets, they may not be able to come out alive.

"The Divine Stele is actually a walkthrough for the illusion!"

After integrating the information about the illusion, Song Gua understood.

Why does the federal government value the Illusionary Divine Stele?

The stele records the history of a certain illusion.

Taking a history book and going into someone else's world is like opening a third eye, isn't it?

Provide assistance before the strong emerge.

Dig it up before the treasure is revealed.

Prepare to take over before the person in power falls from grace.

Before the beauty grows up, I'll be her godfather, cough cough...

In short, with the Illusionary Divine Tablet, one can do whatever one wants in the illusion!

And you don't have to worry about breaking the social rules of the fantasy world and getting yourself into trouble.

"You are quite clever, but you've only grasped half of the divine tablet's effects."

"What else?"

"There is a main quest inside the Divine Stele."

"Isn't there nothing quantifiable in the illusion?"

"I'm just using an analogy. Suppose you enter a zombie illusion, how do you avoid the apocalypse, or how do you save it if the apocalypse has already come? That's the main quest of this illusion."

The information within the divine stele will tell you the corresponding illusion and what the main quest you need to complete is.

If you complete it, this illusion will completely disappear, and you will receive the grand prize bestowed upon you by the illusion.

"What big prize?"

Bing Shen took a sip of red wine and said slowly, "Lifespan increased, a complete transformation!"

The clones gasped in shock.

"Can it really grant immortality?!"

"He really can stay erect forever?!"

"What are we waiting for! Crush this illusion!!"

"What's the point of flattening it all? We need a strategy!"
