Chapter 440 Version 2.0 is online
Chen Lun carefully looked at the carvings on the incomplete stone tablet, stretched out his index finger and touched it gently to identify it.
"...In the 13325th year of the Fourth Era, the Bone Burial Old Man Bancroft used his divine power to plot against the Starry Sky God Cult and disintegrate the Kingdom of Yanita from within, leading to civil strife, filled with killing and chaos. For hundreds of thousands of years, the continent was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It was a bleak place that eventually caused human civilization to fall apart... The hard-won unity collapsed in an instant, and the Yanita royal family split into the three major families of Cuisul, Matthew and Silber... …”
Chen Lun was silently reciting the words written on the stone tablet, and was secretly shocked.
Although he had previously known that the only kingdom of mankind at that time, "Yanita", would eventually split, he did not expect that the old man who buried bones, the God of Death, was behind the scenes.
Chen Lun didn't know the purpose of the old man who buried the bones, nor did he know what exactly happened at that time, but even from this understatement, he could imagine what a terrible era it was at that time.
"...Fifteen thousand six hundred and twenty-three years of the Fourth Era, there were so few believers in the Bone Buried Old Man that they lacked the anchor of faith and reason. Over a long period of time, they squandered the power of mythology and eventually lost their humanity and completely degenerated. It is a mythical creature that never stops weaving a large web in the spiderweb hell of the Kingdom of God, executing its last will in an attempt to bring the spiritual world and dreams into the world. The world, the star world, the underworld and the real world are connected into one... No one knows the ultimate purpose of the old man who buried the bones, and no one can predict whether the consequences of this move will be good or bad... But he angered the Lord of Destiny, Duke Huan. , on June 15th of the following year, people clearly understood a truth, that is, the god of death will die, and even death has an end.”
Chen Lun stared at the broken stone tablet quietly, and the cold scratches actually gave him a burning illusion. After a while, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
‘Huan Gong…kill the God alone? ! ’
He originally didn't know much about the god at the end of his path, but judging from the few words said in various aspects, Huan Gong was definitely among the strongest true gods.
At the same time, the stone tablet also mentioned the two worlds of "Nether Realm" and "Star Realm". Chen Lun had never heard of it. He wrote it down secretly and then continued reading along the handwriting:
"... Judging from past history, I personally believe that all the actions of the old man who buried the bones will eventually bring great disasters to the world, and even destroy him. Duke Huan killed him as an act of saving the world. I will commemorate Huan This monument is engraved on the great achievements of the public - the writer of history, the one who inscribes the years, the witness of great achievements, Sid Mitchell. ”
‘It turns out that this is a stone tablet specially used to record the great achievements of Huan Gong... No wonder its name is called ‘Monument of Destiny’. ’
Chen Lun suddenly understood.
‘The name of the sculptor of the stone tablet was Sid Mitchell...’
He looked at the signature at the end and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He saw this familiar name again.
At the Simon Family Museum in Peacock City, we obtained a travel manuscript written by Sid, which recorded some travel experiences, including writings about the land of Saint E.
Sid also hopes that he can spend his remaining years in that small town.
‘Did this person really witness that ancient and secret history? If so... He is most likely an angel from the earth faction, otherwise how could he live so long. ’
Chen Lun thought of the last accident due to the turbulence in the spiritual world, and took an investigation team to the hometown of Shengai, where he encountered an incident.
‘There seems to be a high-ranking person hiding in the land of Saint E, and now it seems that it is really possible that he is the ancestor of the Mitchell family, Sid...’
The little white snakes he stayed there to observe at that time were all "abducted" by the unfamiliar high-ranking person. Chen Lun didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
'The writer of history, the one who inscribes time, the witness of great achievements... This is indeed like a three-stage honorific name, and the power and position are probably not low. ’
Chen Lun became more and more certain.
At the same time, he also saw from the handwriting on the monument of destiny that this "Sid" seemed to have an inexplicable respect for Duke Huan...
'Suppose it is as I speculated... then an angel from the earth faction is actually the 'little fanboy' of the True God of Destiny? And carve a monument specifically to commemorate it? ’
Chen Lun complained a few words, his expression a little strange.

Because there were less than ten days until the end of the 2.0 version update, Chen Lun did not run around during the next period. He was waiting for players to come online while preparing for the Western War.
Based on the vague impressions of his previous life, he recorded many key events in the Western War and memorized them repeatedly.
This is also to help him profit from it when the time comes.
‘After all, the two gaps in experience points and popularity still need to be filled...’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
At the same time, he also invested nearly 100,000 gold pounds to purchase various extraordinary materials from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce for team members to develop and forge.
After Floy was promoted to [Sequence Six - Night Watcher], he became more comfortable using [Sun-Back Potted Plant], and became more and more skilled in using "Moonsmith" to forge strange objects.
She has now been able to forge [C-level monsters]. Although the probability of getting the best ones is still as low as ever, the quality is there anyway. Most of the "defective items" were taken to the Tribunal Building by Chen Lun and replaced with lower-level ones. Meritorious service.
Rather than putting it in a blind box and selling it to players, he now needs experience points more.
There are a large number of low-level mysterious books in the inventory of the Tribunal Building, which can provide Chen Lun with a lot of experience points. After all, he also has the blessing of "Knowledge Collector LV2" and can obtain more experience points through reading.
Maggie's research and development of the "low-end version of the True Sight Potion" was in an orderly manner. Under Chen Lun's golden pound offensive, she had everything she asked for, and everything she asked for in terms of hardware facilities... Fortunately, she did not disappoint Chen Lun. In just a few days, she got everything she wanted. With new progress, he was told boldly that samples would definitely be prepared within the next month.
As for Connie, Chen Lun did not make too many demands, and just asked her to continue forging the original models of weapons and equipment... Once the Western War officially begins, the demand for weapons and equipment from players will be huge, and then there will be a huge demand. Make a fortune.
The circus officials are like precision gears, running rapidly with the generous church area as the bearing.
Of course, this does not include Alex, the "idler", and Antonio, the "free cow". Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, they both basked in the sun on the square in the church district.
Maggie had protested loudly more than once, saying that Alex was not even as useful as the little hedgehog Ting Ding... But usually, Alex would be angry and refuted, and then the two sides would start a scolding exchange. Wire.
At this time, the Golov trio and the Black Cat team would move chairs in tacit agreement and watch quietly.
Chen Lun just smiled at this, and sometimes said to Floy that the team atmosphere was really good.

Time turned and came to May 11, 4420 in the solar calendar.
"The Age of Secrets" is about to usher in version 2.0 iteration.
in reality.
Blue Federation.
Gorgeous city.
In a corner of the North District Market, a young man in plain clothes was haggling with the stall owner.
"Auntie, can your buds be cheaper? 1,200 credits is too expensive, how about 500?"
"500?! You bastard thought it was the 'technological green vegetables' of the Doug Consortium! I planted these in my own vegetable garden day and night! Do you know how much natural water and natural light cost now? Here is Gorgeous City is not a fourth-rate village in the mountains. At this price, you can only get two rotten leaves from other places, so be satisfied!”
The boss lady, who looked to be in her forties, had long pink hair, silver lip gloss and an electronic cigarette dangling from the corner of her mouth. She scolded him mercilessly.
"And who did you call aunt?! That's not polite! Can't you tell I'm in my early sixteens?! Lose that star!"
After that, the proprietress took out her personal terminal and started to watch short videos.
"Everyone, pay attention, this man's name is Xiaoshuai..."
On the screen of the personal terminal, a scene from "The Age of Secrets" appeared. A player was exploring the natural forest of Wonderland, and was going on an adventure with the artificial and emotional AI narration.
Polar Star saw the boss's wife looking very interested, but he shook his head helplessly.
He had taken advantage of the 2.0 version update in just a few days to move his grandma to the prosperous city of the Federation, Huanlan City. Even though he had made a lot of money in the game, his thrifty habits since he was a child made him get up early every day. Buy groceries and then go home to cook for yourself and grandma without wasting even a single credit point.
But just like the country bumpkins from the old days who came to the city, he and his grandma had not yet adapted to the environment here. In addition to some unfamiliar high-tech infrastructure, the most important thing was... the people here didn't seem to be easy to get along with.
"Then... Miss, just 1,200 for 1,200. Give me one box. In addition, can you give me two boxes of beef, just as a supplement?"
Polaris bit the bullet and continued to pull.
Unexpectedly, the landlady pinched her electronic cigarette and glared at him fiercely.
"Who are you scolding?!"
"Um..."
Polaris suddenly noticed that the stall owners around him turned their heads to look at him, feeling a little confused.
"Call me pretty!"
The landlady put her hands on her hips and said.
"The Doug Consortium's 'Hard Work' will give you two boxes, which will definitely last you a long time. Anyway, in this day and age, meat is worth a buck."
When Polaris saw this, he quickly called her a pretty girl, which immediately made the landlady smile. The other party skillfully picked out a box of green vegetables, paired it with two boxes of beef rolls, packed them into vacuum-sealed bags with the machine at hand, and handed them over.
Polaris used a personal terminal to pay the bill, put the large and small bags on the accompanying transporter, and hurriedly left while wiping cold sweat.
But not long after he left the market, a prompt sounded from his personal terminal.
Polaris raised his arm and operated, and a projection screen appeared in front of him. On it was a window similar to a group chat, and the IDs were all familiar words.
"Hey, Polaris, are you okay? The version update ends in one hour, don't be late!"
Su Keying's window revealed her pink room, with all kinds of cute dolls and figurines placed on the bed and in the cabinet behind her.
She seemed to have just woken up. She was still wearing cartoon pajamas, and her hair was not combed, making her look a little frizzy.
"I just finished shopping for groceries and am about to go back to cook. It may take some time...but don't worry, I will be online on time."
Polaris pressed the "automatic navigation" button on the transporter, sat down on it, and said with a chuckle.
"I said, you are already a rich man and you are still so frugal. What kind of life are you leading? You might as well open a new account and play [Ascetic] with us."
In the window in the upper left corner, a mature young man wearing glasses appeared, and he said jokingly.
"Dongyang, don't you understand this? The reason why Brother Beizi is more promising than us is because of this rare character... If he is really like us, how can he be number one in the rankings?"
< br>
Goutou Jin is a young man with yellow hair. He has tattoos on his face and ears, and there is an obvious mechanical structure on his neck.
Horseman, Kuangbenkuang, Dragon King, Chen Xi and others all showed up to communicate. They, a high-playing group, had an offline gathering after Polaris moved to Brilliant City. They also used group video chats to deepen their relationship on weekdays. .
Now everyone is like old friends, they often joke around, and Polaris is used to it.
"I'm almost home, let's talk about it later."
Polaris looked up at the spacious and bustling suspended track and the tall buildings at the corner, and said to the projection screen.
"Okay, that's it for now. Also, help me say hello to grandma."
Dongyang smiled gently.
After others said a few words, Polaris smiled and turned off the screen projection.
He took a deep breath, got off the transporter, and pushed open the door of the apartment building.
After swiping the card, iris authentication, and scanning the machine security at the booth, Polaris entered the elevator.
Every time at this time, he couldn't help but sigh. Although Gorgeous City had many rules and regulations, and it was even inconvenient to get in and out of the residence, the environment here was countless times better than that in Iron Tower City, and he didn't have to worry about himself and his grandma being robbed outside.
"It's all the game "Secret Age" and Teacher Jack that changed my destiny..."
Polaris smiled and shook his head.
After a while.
Grandma used sophisticated mechanical prosthetics to clear the dining table and urged kindly:
"Abei, go play video games quickly. Your friends should be waiting for you. I will just take care of these things."
Polaris glanced at the virtual clock on the window sill, thanked her grandma, and then returned to the room.
He took a deep breath and lay down in the brand new sleeping cabin of the latest "Casca 2000" model he bought.
The base customized based on Polaris' body data perfectly conforms to ergonomic principles, and the high-tech nanomaterials of the "Dancer" consortium make him feel extremely comfortable in an instant.
As the colorless and odorless nutrient solution gradually filled his mouth and nose, the data cable was connected to the interface on the back of his head.
[User "Polaris" requested access...]
[The game "The Age of Secrets" is connecting...]

Wow——
Polaris suddenly felt a white light suddenly appear in his dark vision.
Under a kerosene chandelier, in the dim light, a familiar wardrobe and full-length mirror appeared in front of him. He walked forward with expectation and read his character data.
Immediately, there was a loud bang!
Polaris instantly found that he appeared on a fierce battlefield, surrounded by densely packed troops and cavalry, as well as countless artillery shells and bullets, streaking dense trajectories in mid-air.
He didn't panic, and even showed excitement on his face.
Because he knows that this is the opening CG of version 2.0!
Soon, Polaris discovered a familiar voice, which was the female narrator during the public beta of version 1.0——
"War... war will never end. On May 11, 4420 in the solar calendar, the war between the Trisur Empire and the Anlong United Kingdom has completely begun..." (End of this chapter)
