Chapter 133: The Path to Becoming a God

The online forum for the game "Spore Evolution" began to stir, as a well-known "survivor" player, "Another Top-up Chop Hand," made an appearance.

"Did the boss die?" everyone instantly became excited, asking about the situation inside.

Another Top-up Chop Hand had indeed saved screenshots. Exquisite frescoes were posted one after another, and the entire sequence of events was slowly recounted.

Gradually, everyone was moved by the tragic grandeur of the story and admired Another Top-up Chop Hand's heroic sacrifice.

After explaining what had happened, Another Top-up Chop Hand said, "Brothers, I'm dead. I did my best, as the situation inside was too dangerous. But I got Airmine's autograph, and I want to share the exclusive game ending CG wallpaper I unlocked with all of you."

In the image, Airmine, holding a pet bird (a 'Mediterranean Tufted Bird'), signed her elegant, otherworldly name "Airmine" onto a prominent bald spot on the character's head, which was framed by a circle of thick black hair.

All players: ????

Everyone had been feeling genuinely sympathetic and sad for him. They knew that Another Top-up Chop Hand was a serious person, not a mischievous character like "Akina Speed." They were all thinking: "How! Do! We! Comfort! Him!?" After all, he could have just survived indefinitely, enduring until the end of time, yet he chose to sacrifice his life to save Airmine—he truly was a hero.... "We must be gentle." "We must offer encouragement." Everyone was taking deep breaths over their keyboards, preparing their emotions, but now...

Cute Girl Wants to Evolve into a Dragon, Endorsing Legendary Web Games: "Hahahahaha! I can't stop laughing! I was so sad, but now, with this hairstyle and the autograph, I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to comfort you. My apologies (helpless face.jpg)."

Chunzi Loves Learning: "I'm dying of laughter too! I wouldn't have laughed so hard originally, but the contrast is just too great.... I've got abs from laughing! (Darn it!)"

Medical Student Saving Another World: "Brother, this is your fault! We had all prepared our emotions, and then..... Are you a pervert?! How could you make my goddess do something like that? (Madness!)"

Another Top-up Chop Hand: "......"

Before dying, asking for an autograph on a bald head... isn't that a perfectly normal thing to do?

Soon after Another Top-up Chop Hand's appearance, another true 'boss,' Learn White Studies, also emerged.

Everyone immediately became even more excited. "What exactly is going on?"

Learn White Studies didn't keep them in suspense and very seriously outlined the situation inside. He described his heroic sacrifice, how he bravely took a blow for Airmine, and then how Airmine broke through to demigod status for him. The tragic scene was described so vividly that everyone empathized, as if they had truly witnessed a grand and valiant moment.

This one was reliable, they thought. They mused that Learn White Studies, the 'boss,' truly lived up to his reputation as the organizer of this collective gaming event. So, everyone started thinking about how to comfort him, once again preparing their emotions, even recalling the lines they had thought of earlier...

Learn White Studies: "Oh, by the way, I left behind a commemorative ending. I won't say more; I'll just send you an image, and you can see for yourselves!"

Animated GIF (One image)

This was an animated GIF composed of countless exquisite, high-definition wallpapers—static images strung together by software, flipping frantically page by page.

In the image, Emperor Airmine held a flexed bicep in one hand and slowly formed a V-sign with the other, saying something... but judging by the mouth movements, it was difficult to make out what was being said.

But! Below this talking GIF, thoughtfully synchronized with the mouth movements, were subtitles:

"Learn White Studies is my husband, and I will wear the most beautiful white wedding dress to marry him!"

All players: !!! "This damn GIF!"

Everyone fell silent, instantly spitting out a mouthful of old blood. The previous one was comical, but this one... he doesn't need our comfort at all! We feel no sympathy now; in fact, we want to hit him!

"How can such a shameless person exist in this world!!""Emperor Airmine is my wife! How dare he mislead my goddess!""Another Top-up Chop Hand, Learn White Studies, both of you get online for a beating! You've tricked my tears!""This is an absolute disgrace to our Airmine Evil God Fan Club! (Burning with rage)"

They began a furious verbal assault, declaring, "This person is absolutely shameless!"

After an hour or so of uproar, "Akina Speed" also made an appearance.

"Even this guy is dead?" everyone couldn't help but ask.

Chunzi Loves Learning: "Heh heh heh, no matter what you want to say, Akina Speed, come out and take your beating first!"

Medical Student Saving Another World: "Exactly! We can't trust you guys anymore. The previous two were already so outrageous, so as for this one... we'll execute him for ten minutes first, then let him explain!"

Akina Speed: "???" "What happened? I'm innocent!" He looked completely bewildered. "Why are you all attacking me the moment I show up? I haven't done anything!"

Akina Speed: "Cough, cough! Listen everyone, it's already the year 1031 in the Wizard World. Congratulations to the Babylonian Wizard Kingdom for reaching its millennium mark."

Another Top-up Chop Hand: "You still haven't said if you're dead!"

"I'm dead," Akina Speed replied. "Inside, it's now the Wizard World's final moment of survival. The two Great Evil God Kings are fighting each other, and the moment one of them wins will be when they cleanse the remnants of the three great kingdoms." Akina Speed continued, "The three of us have officially exited the game. The only one left inside is the most useless 'Cerebellum Tiger Descending the Mountain' – he's completely useless and can only broadcast the situation in the Wizard World to us from within."

"So are we doomed?" "The Wizard World is going to..." After their laughter, this terrifying thought couldn't help but erupt in everyone's minds.

Akina Speed then proceeded to share an even more terrifying truth about the Wizard World. It was impossible to become a god; everyone would remain at the demigod realm. In fact, Medusa had already broken through at the time, but because she hadn't ascended to godhood, she was killed by the Cthulhu Evil God.

Hearing this, those around him trembled all over, recalling Medusa's dying words, and finally, the truth was revealed.

At this, everyone grew even more desperate; to make matters worse, the path to godhood was completely cut off. The Cthulhu Evil God was now invincible in the other world, leaving virtually no room for counterattack.

"You still haven't said how you died," Learn White Studies couldn't help but interject, also incredibly excited.

"I committed suicide," Akina Speed said. "I exited the game by committing suicide."

"Suicide?" Everyone's minds went blank; they couldn't process it.

Unexpectedly, among the three who had exited, Akina Speed was now the most serious. It was clear how urgent the situation inside had become.

Akina Speed: "To those red-named players, I know you're definitely eavesdropping on the forum! I'm telling you, you're doomed to lose. We already have a surefire way to victory; the evil gods are nothing to fear!"

"What surefire method?" Everyone stiffened, electrified.

"It's still about becoming a god!"

Akina Speed: "The path is forged by people. The first seven wizard realms were also carved out by humans, step by step, from nothing. So why not the eighth, the mythical realm?" "Wizards are a group of people who pursue truth. If one path is blocked, then we have another way."

Akina Speed declared, "This path to godhood is ready. Our three great kingdoms and the Church of Light—all forces have united to set up an earth-shattering world game of chess. That's why I committed suicide.... You two evil gods, listen up! Airmine and the others inside are about to declare war on both of you. They won't wait for you to kill each other and fully merge!"

Akina Speed's declaration immediately caused a huge uproar.
