Chapter 457: World Spirit

Li Qi was suspended in the air above the empty frozen sea. Beside him, the female-looking knight looked at the frozen sea below in astonishment.

"This... this is impossible. Such a big island! How could it just disappear like that!"

The island that was supposed to exist has now become an empty sea, which shocked the knight.

She clearly remembered that she and Xiao Chong were on the island when they left!

According to the rules of Dream Town, they should return to where they left, so they should appear on the island.

But now, let alone the island, there is not even a large piece of floating ice nearby!

"As expected."

The island of the Ancient Relics Island disappeared completely, which did not surprise Li Qi.

The Ancient Relics Association did so many bad things in secret. If they could be found casually, it would be strange.

Now it can only be said to be a normal development.

"Sorry... I thought I could really take you to seek revenge on that organization, but I didn't expect..."

The knight felt very sorry for his empty pounce.

Li Qi shook his head at him: "No need to apologize, your work is done, go back."

"Don't you need my help?"

Seeing Li Qi asking her to go back, the knight asked hurriedly.

Li Qi didn't even look at her, and put her directly on the huge floating ice below, and then said:

"You will only make things worse if you stay here, go back."

After talking to the knight, Li Qi took out the dream weaving and put it on his head, and his figure disappeared in the air.

Compared with the dream town that can be entered from anywhere in the world, the dream weaving is more like a prop that can freely shuttle between dreams and reality.

And one of the effects of this kind of prop is that the location of the dream world will be where the real world is entered.

That's why Li Qi asked the knight to take him to the location where the ancient ruins island disappeared.

Because he suspected that the ancient ruins island, like the major ancient ruins, were hidden in the dream world.

The cost of using strange objects as a player is reduced to the lowest point, and it can even be said that there is no cost.

Li Qi easily used Dreamweaver to enter the dream world. This time, he did not use his will to change the environment of the dream world, and just maintained the original appearance of the dream world.

Because of this, Li Qi saw a scene that was completely different from the real world.

On a piece of floating ice, a huge palace stood on it.

This certainly could not be the headquarters of the Ancient Monuments Association, it was an ancient monument.

The real ancient monument is one of the twelve core ancient monuments!

"Tsk, I couldn't find it before, but now I found it as soon as I got the player identity. Your world will is too biased."

Seeing the ancient monument appear in front of him, Li Qi couldn't help but complain.

Unexpectedly, someone actually responded to his complaints.

"... I'm not taking the blame. This is not my setting. This is the setting of the general system... Wait, where did your player identity come from?!"

The white shadow with the ID of [World Spirit] on his head appeared next to Li Qi again after many years.

But compared with the previous illusory appearance, the current white shadow is more solid. Li Qi can see his long white hair and the dress as white as his hair.

He can also see the surprise on the face of the World Spirit, as well as some doubts and... pity in his eyes?

Li Qi frowned slightly and examined the appearance of the World Spirit. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the appearance of the person in front of him was... a little familiar.

Looking at the World Spirit secretly, Li Qi took over the words of the World Spirit without any hesitation:

"Player identity? It was obtained by accident. So according to you, only players can enter the interior of the ancient ruins?"

Li Qi turned the topic back to the main topic.

The World Spirit looked at Li Qi deeply, then turned back to look at the ancient ruins below:

"Ancient ruins are originally copies prepared for players. If you follow the main task given by the general system, players need to conquer twelve ancient ruins in succession and seal all the pollution to solve the world crisis and let the sun reappear in the sky."

The World Spirit said at the end, looking up at the still dark and gloomy sky.

Li Qi nodded slightly and said, "So my guess is right, this world is a huge game."

"Almost, but she is also real... otherwise I wouldn't appear."

The World Spirit whispered.

The game is real, and the world is real, which is why Li Qi can feel the existence of the world's will.

Otherwise, it's just a simple game, how can we talk about the world's will?

Chatting with the World Spirit, Li Qi and her landed at the door of the ancient ruins.

Although he failed to find the ancient ruins, it was the same to find an ancient ruins. It happened that the World Spirit was next to him at this moment. Li Qi planned to ask all his questions at once, and then find the ancient ruins to settle the account.

With this thought in mind, Li Qi asked the World Spirit:

"Are you the incarnation of the world's will?"

"You can say that, but... it's not accurate..."

"Then..." Li Qi turned his head to look at the increasingly familiar face, and overlapped it with the old face in his memory, and then asked with a complicated expression:

"...Are you Zhang Fengyun?"

"..."

The World Spirit was silent.

Li Qi was also silent, and the two looked at each other.

Yes, the appearance of the World Spirit is somewhat similar to Zhang Fengyun. If Zhang Fengyun's body becomes smaller, then maybe he will look the same as the World Spirit.

But...how could there be such a ridiculous thing in the world.

The majestic spirit of the world is actually Li Qi’s grandmother in this life?

Why didn't Li Qi know that he was so powerful in this life?

The two of them stared at each other for a while, then the World Spirit sighed and said:

"I am her, but I am not her."

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

"Speak clearly."

Li Qi said, turning around and pushing open the gate of the monument.

The Spirit of the World followed beside him and whispered: "Zhang Fengyun once obtained a strange object called the 'Heart of the World'.

"The ability of the Heart of the World is very simple. It allows people to feel the changes in the rules of the world. However, the price is difficult for normal people to accept. People who hold the Heart of the World will slowly communicate with the world and become the will of the world. part of.

"Zhang Fengyun has held the Heart of the World for a long time. Although she didn't use it much in the end, she was almost equal to the Will of the World. So in the end, after she was sure that you were no longer you, she decided to completely merge with the Will of the World. So...I showed up."

"..." Hearing this, Li Qi stopped and said, "...So, grandma knows that I am not Meng An?"

"She can probably guess a little, but she doesn't suspect that you have been taken away. She just guesses that you have probably awakened the so-called memory of your past life. After all... there is also a theory of reincarnation in the civilization of cultivating immortals, and Zhang Fengyun has seen it. Immortal cultivator."

I see, that makes sense.

Why didn't Zhang Fengyun leave earlier or later, but why did Zhang Fengyun leave just a few days after Li Qigang awakened his memory and went to the casino to get money?

It turns out that she felt that her grandson no longer needed her to protect her, so she merged with the will of the world with peace of mind and became the current spirit of the world.

The Spirit of the World continued: "But Zhang Fengyun is more consistent with the will of the world than expected, and I have also been partially influenced by her, so... I am now the incarnation of the will of the world, and it can also be said to be a part of Zhang Fengyun."

"That's why you paid so much attention to me and led me when I was teleported to the mountain."

"I didn't expect you to find the ancient ruins so quickly. I thought you would be able to settle down for a while after getting the Dream Town, but I didn't expect the world to change so fast...

"When you were teleported to the top of the ancient ruins, I originally wanted you to leave. But based on my understanding of you, Zhang Fengyun, you are not someone who gives up so easily, so I changed my strategy and led you there. In the mountain village, I’ll let you get the Dream Weaver.”

The World Spirit spoke calmly, describing what he had done to Li Qi before.

Dream weaving is the key to finding ancient ruins, so the spirit of the world guides Li Qi to the mountain village.

Originally, the person chosen by the World Spirit was not Li Qi, but Old Wu Tou, but Old Wu Tou was controlled by Dream Weaver and could not get Dream Weaver. It happened that Li Qi came over at this time, and the World Spirit chose Li Qi.

After all, Li Qi is also half a grandson of World Spirit, so it's good to take advantage of his own grandson.

"But I got the Dreamweaver and couldn't find the ancient ruins."

Li Qi said immediately.

World Spirit laughed: "The ancient ruins are not open to non-player characters. You only have a chance to get Dreamweaver. Moreover, Dreamweaver's role does not stop there."

"…grocery store?"

"Yes, if you have Dreamweaver and you have never been to a grocery store before, then the grocery store may appear in your dreams.

"My original thought was that even if you can't find the ancient monument, it would be a good thing to go into the grocery store and choose a rare item that suits you very well. But who would have thought that you would be so brave as to launch an attack on the warehouse."

The Spirit of the World did not expect that Li Qi would be so greedy. He did not want just one, but wanted to pack up all the rare objects and take them away.

But there was no way, Li Qi had already taken action at that time, and she couldn't just sit back and watch, so she could only find a way to help Li Qi obtain temporary NPC permissions.

By the way, NPC permissions also need to be granted by the system, otherwise they will just be ordinary 'little monsters'.

With NPC permissions, he gained the temporary responsibility of grocery store manager, which seemed like a good thing, but in fact, Li Qi, who had the responsibility of store manager, could not leave the store very far.

In other words, he would not be able to find copies of the monuments unless he was relieved of his duties as store manager.

But who would have thought that Li Qi would mysteriously disappear for five years after taking over the grocery store, and then return as a player.

Yes, I took every precaution to prevent it from ending like this.

What can the Spirit of the World say?

We can only help Li Qi while he is in trouble when he comes out to look for ancient monuments.

After all, I have the memory of Zhang Fengyun in my head. This can be regarded as my half-grandson. I have to help, right?
