Wen Nan glanced at Guan Ailin's pretty, smiling face, then looked at Mo Yu, who stood nearby and was watching them embrace with a curious gaze.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Nan didn't open the envelope but turned his wrist to put the letter back into his equipment reserve slot.
Guan Ailin saw his actions and quickly understood—he didn't want to read the letter in front of her and Mo Yu.
What kind of content could be so secretive and mysterious?
Though curious, Guan Ailin released Wen Nan and moved over to Mo Yu, grabbing her arm and leading her towards the exit, "Go ahead and open the letter; don't worry, no one will peek."
Wen Nan watched the two figures gradually recede in the distance, shaking his head helplessly.
He picked up the envelope again, thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pressed his fingertip against the authentication button.
Quickly, the envelope displayed a message indicating successful authentication, after which the plastic seal around the edge melted away, revealing a thin floating light screen.
Judging by the texture of the floating light screen, it seemed similar to a player's exclusive system panel, encrypted such that only Wen Nan could see it.
He looked up at the two who stood not far away with their shoulders together, visiting the "construction sites" of test spaces 1 and 3, smiled, and returned his gaze to the content of the letter.
The text of the letter was handwritten, just like the writing on the envelope. The Guild Leader's handwriting matched his outward appearance, with a slightly pretentious elegance.
However, the contents of the letter were straightforward, directly answering Wen Nan's questions—
[Dear Little Jiu, regards upon reading the words.]
[Thank you for seeking my help during this crucial moment, which brings me immense honor. Writing this reply, I grow more cautious with each word.]
[Regarding the Divine Staff Sheath you obtained, there is indeed a legend. The content of this legend has evolved over time, likely diverging significantly from the original version. I can only share what I've gathered. Its veracity remains for you to decipher on your own.]
[Legend has it that this game world was created by three Creator Gods at the beginning—Ah Rham, Nian, and Wei.]
[Ah Rham was responsible for the construction of all maps, equipment, and items.]
[Nian was responsible for creating the characters, including their appearance, personality, skills, background, and other related settings.]
[Wei was in charge of everything else that Ah Rham and Nian did not handle.]
[When the game world was first established, the three Creator Gods worked together harmoniously, allowing a new world to rise quickly.]
[However, soon after, as the game world perfected, instances gained self-repair and evolutionary abilities, and characters could be recycled due to the existence of the furnace. Ah Rham and Nian's work was no longer needed, hence they withdrew from the stage of the Supreme God.]
[Thus, Wei became the sole Supreme God of the game, now known to us as the game's Main God.]
[After leaving the stage, both Nian and Ah Rham passed away, leaving behind two sets of divine-grade items.]
[What Nian left remains unknown to this day.]
[What Ah Rham left, you might already guess—it's the Divine Staff Sheath and those 12 pieces of Divine Staff Fragment.]
[This set of divine items can ultimately reforge Ahaliem's Divine Wand.]
[In this narrative, Ah Rham was the Creator God responsible for maps. Hence, it is rumored that whoever reforges Ahaliem's Divine Wand and ascends to the throne will not only possess rights equal to the Supreme God but also be able to break the barrier of this game world...]
At the end of the legend, the Guild Leader of "Feng Shuihuan" provided a conclusion.
Wen Nan stared at the final conclusion for a long time, then slowly shifted his gaze back to the last sentence of the legend,
"Break the barrier of this game world..."
Is this the reason why Yu Shujun is so determined to collect the Divine Staff Fragments?
This also explains why her topic's keywords are [Break the Barrier] and [Shatter the Shackles].
"Jiu!"
"Boss!"
While lost in thought, Guan Ailin and Mo Yu suddenly shouted loudly in his direction.
Wen Nan pulled his thoughts together, looked up, and saw them both eagerly pointing at a spot ahead.
It was the location of test space 1.
There, a dazzling orange-red fireball was slowly rising from the horizon, resembling a mushroom cloud created by a nuclear explosion.
However, as the fireball ascended higher, its brightness did not diminish; instead, it grew stronger, like an artificial sun illuminating the previously dark test space entirely.
Wen Nan squinted his eyes, examining both test spaces.
Both test spaces were nearly constructed and had closed.
The third test space, where Carl Milak was located, was covered by a massive dark dome that blocked all views inside.
The first test space, where Yu Shujun was located, was enveloped by a semi-translucent white dome within which a vast man-made lake seemed visible.
Wen Nan led Guan Ailin and Mo Yu to the edge of the third test space, attempting to peer inside, but they saw nothing and heard nothing.
It appeared that to intervene in Carl Milak's test space, they still needed to borrow the golden light from the Root Breaking Slash from Yu Shujun.
With this in mind, Wen Nan led the big and small, heading to the first test space.
Strangely, although it seemed close enough to touch, they sprinted forward for more than half an hour without any signs of getting closer to the first test space.
A mountain viewed from afar tires out a horse?
Wen Nan panted, forced to stop and catch his breath, glancing at the countdown timer in the system test, then became confused.
Has only five minutes passed?
Why does it feel like thirty minutes have already elapsed?
Moreover…
Wen Nan looked up at the fake sun suspended high above, then at the semi-transparent dome directly below it, his suspicions growing heavier in his mind—
Was this first test space this large just now?
Why does it suddenly seem expanded several times? Is it because of the near-and-far size perception? Or is there another reason?
