For others, this might be a mysterious place worth exploring in depth, but for Yui, when she stood at the entrance of the stairs, a familiar feeling instinctively emerged in her heart.
Even though it has become a human, the essence of its soul still retains some traces of its past as an intelligent AI.
At this moment, Yui also understood why the girl said that this was the most suitable place for her to complete the establishment of the game data source.
Because she knew that the end of the stairs was the former "sao", the core data terminal of the game world's system!
Chapter 670 Reunion
"The original town is back..."
Standing at the entrance of the town, following Yui's trail, Zhao Si looked at the building in front of him and said.
Stepping in, Zhao Si walked towards where Yui was while constantly looking at the scene in the town.
"It seems that after the players left, this place has gradually gotten back on track and developed on its own."
Zhao Si looked at the people coming and going around him. Although there were not many people, they had already begun to show a certain degree of vitality and vitality.
"Speaking of which, besides the indigenous people, there are these extra people..."
Recalling some things that happened in the past, Zhao Si turned his head slightly, and a girl whose clothes were obviously different from those of the natives of Aincrad walked past him.
The upper body is a dark blue, standard school uniform similar to a suit, and the lower body is a black pleated skirt. It is obvious that she is a person living in modern society. However, at this moment, she suddenly appears in this town that generally tends to be in the Western medieval style.
Not only that, the girl also had a two-handed sword on her back, and it was obvious that it was not just a decoration.
"People from the surface world?" Zhao Si muttered to himself thoughtfully.
He still remembered what happened when he returned to the first floor with Erya, the girl named Azusakawa Kaede and those beings who suddenly appeared on the first floor.
Obviously, with the departure of players and the realization of Aincrad, this situation has not only not stopped, but has gradually become more common.
As for this confusion between the inner and outer worlds, and the existence of the outer world traveling to the inner world, if it happened before, Zhao Si might have been a little interested, but now, after seeing the overall situation of this world, everything became reasonable.
All I can say is that perhaps this situation will only stop when all those fragments are integrated into a true whole on the surface of the world.
Thinking of this, Zhao Si was just about to continue looking for Yui, when suddenly, at this moment, a voice full of surprise suddenly sounded not far away from him.
"Ah, it's you, the gentleman who was with the master back then!"
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Zhao Si looked up curiously.
"what?"
Raising his eyebrows, Zhao Si looked at the girl not far away in surprise.
This is....
Zhao Si vaguely remembered that he and Erya had returned to the first floor. Setting aside his side of the story for now, Erya, if I remember correctly, seemed to have accepted a disciple?
Well, I think it was called...
"Leah?"
Looking at the blonde girl who was jogging towards him and breathing slightly, Zhao Si said tentatively.
"Ah, so sir, you still remember me? That's right, I'm Leah!" Upon hearing this, Leah, who thought Zhao Si didn't remember her, suddenly looked happy and said very happily.
It really is...
Zhao Si was also a little surprised to meet the other party, and felt a little emotional for a moment.
But to be honest, although Erya did acknowledge Leah as her apprentice, it seems that she only stayed on the first floor to teach Leah for less than a week. After all, she was also responsible for conquering the floors at that time and did not have much extra energy to put on Leah.
However, even so, Leah did not seem to forget Erya's help to her, and even Zhao Si, whom she had only met once, did not forget her.
"Sir, you've actually returned from the Divine Realm! And what about Master? Has she returned as well?"
Zhao Si was just thinking about it, but he saw Liya looking around Zhao Si while talking, looking for Erya's figure.
Uh... God's Domain? What is that?
Hearing this, Zhao Si was a little confused, but before he could post anything, he heard passers-by around him looking in the direction of the people with shocked expressions, and discussions were heard one after another.
"What? Coming down from the divine realm?"
"Could it be the legendary trial-taker who successfully passed the 100th level of the trial?"
"Is that him?"
"Is this true? Doesn't that mean it's equivalent to an S-level? No, this is already an S-level or higher trial participant, right?"
The girl's excited words immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street, and almost everyone was looking at Zhao Si with awe and longing.
""
What is this?
With a twitching corner of his mouth, Zhao Si looked at Leah. The girl seemed to realize her problem at this time. She covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Zhao Si with embarrassment.
"Hey, sorry sir, I was too excited..." the girl muttered softly.
"..."
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Zhao Si shook his head helplessly.
It was not advisable to stay here for long. Zhao Si carried Leah on his shoulders, then took a step forward and disappeared amid the exclamations of the crowd.
At the entrance of the stairs, a table and a chair appeared at some point. The girl sat on the chair, supporting her head with her hands, swinging her legs under the table, and looking towards the stairs from time to time.
"what?"
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the girl blinked and raised her head expectantly to look towards the other side of the stair entrance.
The next second, a familiar figure suddenly appeared where she was looking. Looking at that figure, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
At the same time, after leaving the street, Zhao Si followed Yui's trail and came to the entrance of the stairs.
"Is this here?"
Looking at the stairs extending downward in front of him, Zhao Si did not rush to enter, but first put down Leah who was being carried by him.
"Sorry, sir, I was a little too excited." Standing in front of Zhao Si, Leah said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I don't take it to heart." Hearing this, Zhao Si waved his hand and said.
"Really? That's good... But seriously, sir, doesn't it mean that Master didn't come down from the Divine Realm with you?" Upon hearing this, Leah first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously.
"...I have been wondering since just now, what is the divine realm you mentioned?" After a moment of silence, Zhao Si looked at Liya and asked.
As far as he knew, the original name of the game was Sword Art Online, but that was just a name. There was no place called Divine Realm in Aincrad.
So he was quite curious about what exactly was the divine realm that Liya mentioned? And why did she think he came from the divine realm?
"Ah? Sir, don't you know the Divine Realm? But haven't you already passed the 100th level of trial?" Upon hearing this, Leah looked at Zhao Si in surprise and said.
"It's true that I passed the level, but what does this have to do with the Divine Realm?" Zhao Si asked doubtfully.
"Of course it is related. According to legend, those who pass the 100th level of trial can receive the blessing of the gods and are also qualified to live in the divine realm above the 100th level." Leah said.
Zhao Si:
Is this true?
To be honest, seeing Leah's confident look, Zhao Si was not sure whether the legend was false.
Of course it's true, but that only applies to those who live in Aincrad now. For you back then, the divine realm actually appeared after you left.
Just as he was thinking, a sudden voice appeared in Zhao Si's mind. Zhao Si was stunned when he heard it, then turned his head and looked towards the other side of the stair entrance.
Hehehe, see you again, Zhao Si!
Facing Zhao Si's gaze, the girl waved her arms and smiled brightly.
Chapter 671
"Then I'll be leaving first, Mr. Zhao Si. If possible, please say hello to Master for me. Although she didn't teach me much at that time, if it weren't for her, I might not have been able to become a trial-taker as I wished." At the hidden entrance of the stairs, Leah bowed to Zhao Si and said.
Hearing this, Zhao Si nodded. He looked at Leah in front of him. The girl was wearing cloth armor and had a long sword on her waist. It was obvious that the girl had now become a trial-taker as she wished.
"Well, actually, if nothing unexpected happens, your master should come down from the divine realm. By then..."
"real?!"
Upon hearing this, before Zhao Si could finish his words, he saw Leah's eyes light up and she asked in surprise.
"Well, of course." After thinking about it, Zhao Si said affirmatively.
After all, it was Niya. If Yui was really going to finish her work, then it made no sense for her not to get involved. When that time came, this pair of master and apprentice would be able to meet again.
"Ah! That's really, great! Thank you for telling me this news, Mr. Zhao Si!" Upon hearing this, Leah said with joy on her face.
"I, I, I, I'm sorry, I have to leave first. I need to go back and prepare. When Master comes back, I will definitely let her see what I have achieved over the years!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Zhao Si! And Miss Yui!"
Having said that, Leah bowed and said goodbye to Zhao Si and the girl, then left here impatiently.
"Well...a few years? I remember we left not long ago. Is there a problem with the speed of time flow inside?" After listening to Leah's words, Zhao Si said to the girl next to him with some surprise.
"Well, no, the flow of time here is the same as in the surface world. Only the area of Aincrad is different," the girl explained.
"So what is going on? For example, what is the divine realm that the child mentioned?" Zhao Si asked in confusion.
"Well, to put it simply, it's a derivative that inevitably results from the revision of history."
"Derivative?" Zhao Si repeated the word.
"Correct."
The girl nodded and continued, "The realization of Aincrad isn't simply about transforming it into a real place; it's about blending its entire existence into the existing history of the inner world."
"However, because Aincrad's existence itself is blank, there is no historical base point in the inner world for it to establish itself. So, I created a historical base point for it in the past."
"Based on this foundation, Aincrad has a concept of existence in this world, symbolizing the fact that 'Aincrad' was born in this world. In this way, it can be smoothly integrated into this world."
"Of course, because Aincrad's existence was incorporated into existing history, the original history was also changed. After undergoing layers of revisions, a set of legends, history, and derivatives about Aincrad were born in this world, enriching Aincrad's originally blank existence."
"The Divine Realm she's talking about is a place like this. 'You can only reach the Divine Realm after passing through layers of trials.' The Divine Realm was derived from the birth of such a legend." said the girl.
"The same applies to the different speeds of time flow."
"So that's how it is..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Si nodded in understanding.
The power of time is mysterious and powerful. For Zhao Si, who has had some contact with this power, he naturally has no doubt about the girl's words.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Hey, Zhao Si, Yui said you ran into my sister when you came here?"
The girl came forward and asked, then she looked Zhao Si up and down, and then said in surprise: "You're not injured, sister, how could she let you in so easily?"
"I'm also quite curious. Could it be that your sister is in a particularly good mood recently?" Zhao Si glanced at her and said.
Hearing this, the girl actually started to think carefully for a while.
"It should be her mood, right? It's been quite a while since I've seen her with a stern face."
"Really?" Zhao Si was a little surprised when he heard this. Could this be the reason for the other party's change of attitude? Was it simply because he was in a better mood than before?
Thinking about it, Zhao Si shook his head.
In any case, the current situation is very good, so good that he couldn't have imagined it at the beginning.
The most urgent thing is to go and see what’s going on with Yui.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Si was about to follow the stairs into the underground palace, but...
"....What are you doing?"
Looking at the girl in front of him who was circling around him like a puppy and looking at him with a look of surprise from time to time, Zhao Si asked in confusion.
No, what's going on here? Why does it feel like the behavior of these two world consciousnesses is a little strange this time?
"Oh, it feels a little strange." Hearing this, the girl stopped and looked at Zhao Si and said.
"Zhao Si, the unpleasant feeling about you is gone."
"A disgusting feeling?" Zhao Si was stunned when he heard that.
"Yes, it's a faint feeling that makes people not want to get close to it." The girl nodded and said.
"This...can you describe it more specifically?" Zhao Si frowned slightly. This was the first time he knew about such a thing.
"For example, where on the body do you feel it?"
"Ah, this one doesn't seem to have anything special about it? I'm not sure, because the feeling is so faint, it seems to be everywhere." The girl thought for a moment and shook her head.
"...Okay, if you say so."
