Tragic History

“Black, can… can you help me find these medicinal herbs in the forest? This is really important to me!”

“My younger brother has fallen ill. He… urgently needs these to treat his illness and save his life!” The young girl said anxiously while gesturing with her hands, afraid that Liao Zixuan did not understand her.

Vivian had initially almost given up hope on gathering medicinal herbs.

The Dreadclaw Forest was full of danger. She had to be on her guard against monsters that might appear at any moment and focus on finding the medicinal herbs at the same time.

It took her the entire day yesterday to gather such a pitiful pile of medicinal herbs, which was sorely insufficient for her brother’s treatment.

Vivian, who was completely disheartened, was prepared to return empty-handed. She was prepared to agree to let her father sell her to a big city for money to treat her younger brother’s illness. However, Liao Zixuan’s appearance gave the girl new hope!

After all, the young lady would never forget what happened last night…

That was, the rain of fire caused by the little wolf monster in front of her. All the surrounding forest monsters were burned to ashes instantaneously; the pitch-black night was dyed red.

It was true that Vivian had seen little of the world and knew little, but she wasn’t really stupid. At the very least, she knew one truth—

This little wolf of hers was very strong…

It was much stronger than the many monsters in the forest that frightened her! A lot stronger! A lot! Extremely!

On the other end, Liao Zixuan yawned lazily at first, not paying much attention.

Wasn’t it just protecting the little girl while she was picking medicinal herbs in the forest? What a piece of cake.

He was more concerned about what Vivian called him at the beginning.

What the hell was Black!

But…

All of a sudden, an image flashed through Liao Zixuan’s mind, causing the nonchalant expression on his face to gradually become solemn. Because of the girl’s reminder, Liao Zixuan recalled something strange that he saw on the little girl’s interface.

[Vivian]

Status: Poisoned (???)

Poisoned…

And it was followed by three unknown question marks…

Usually, the information marked by “?” on the game interface meant that it was extremely special and required players to search for clues through missions or ancient books. It was very rare.

But why would such a thing appear on a young girl from a remote village?

Unless…

Wait, poisoned, poison… illness…

F*ck, illness!

A series of memories were awakened in an instant. As if he had thought of something very bad, the fur all over Liao Zixuan’s body suddenly tightened and the wolf appeared abnormally solemn.

Oh no!

How could he have forgotten such a big matter!

It was obvious that he had transmigrated back to the opening period of “Fallen God”. At this time, the Flame Domain still existed as the Fire God, Alice was still resisting the erosion by Fallen Abyss.

However, one could tell from the game’s name, “Fallen God”, that all the main storylines revolved around the “God’s Fall”. The Fire God Alice of the Flame Domain was the first God to succumb to the game’s biggest villain organization, Fallen Abyss.

The reason why Fallen Abyss, which had been preparing for countless years, chose to target the Fire God first was very simple.

A spark could set a prairie ablaze.

The Fire God might not be the strongest of the Nine Gods, but it was definitely the one that had the most influence on the people of the domain. If anything happened to the Fire God, then everyone who believed in the Fire God would be implicated.

The asymptomatic poisoning of the body was the early manifestation of the Flaming Abyss Poison! When it reached the second stage, the person would suddenly fall seriously ill and become bedridden.

Later on, as the plot developed with the Fire God Alice failing to resist and ultimately succumbing to Fallen Abyss…

At that time, all the citizens of Flame Domain who believed in the Fire God would instantly degenerate and become abyssal monsters. This evil power would shock the world and lay the foundation for the subsequent invasion of the Fallen Abyss. This served as the prologue for Version 2.0 of the game, Surging Black Tide.

Liao Zixuan completely recalled the storyline of the early stages of the game as though he was reliving it again.

However, after experiencing an initial nervousness, a fighting spirit that could not be suppressed quickly spread throughout his body.

The huge Flame Domain had been completely destroyed. Countless people had turned into monsters. It could be called a magical version of a biochemical crisis. As for the Fire God Alice, she was one of the few outstanding goddesses among the Nine Gods who cared about the commoners; she loved the commoners as if they were her children. She was a highly revered figure with an amazing personality and smoking figure, but even she ultimately succumbed and become an abyss monster.

Back then, this storyline made countless players sigh endlessly and feel enraged! However, it had to be said that tragedy was always the best at stirring up people’s emotions.

It was because of this tragic main storyline that the players started to pull their friends into the “Fallen God” world—to strengthen their player army. They swore to fight Fallen Abyss to the death for the return of their goddess!

As for Liao Zixuan, he just happened to be one of them. It was similarly the reason why he was excited at this moment.

After all, this was like Kerrigan transforming into the Queen of Blades in Starcraft. If he could return to the past and participate in the plot, he would definitely try to change history and reverse the outcome.

“Black… Black!” When Vivian saw Liao Zixuan standing there in a daze, she immediately became anxious. She reached out and waved her hand in front of the baby wolf’s eyes repeatedly.

Being pulled back to reality by the girl, Liao Zixuan began to analyze the current situation.

First of all, it was most likely that Vivian’s brother passed on his illness to her and caused her current stage of asymptomatic poisoning. As for her brother, he seemed to exhibit the symptoms of the second stage, which was a sudden serious illness. This proved that…

Alice, the Fire God, was in a precarious situation.

Of course, there was no need to mention such a distant matter. Currently, it was purely about how to solve the girl’s present problem.

There were only two ways to cure the Flaming Abyss Poison. The first was to escape from the Flame Domain before the Fire God fell and the second was to stop the Fire God from falling.

Obviously, it was impossible for Liao Zixuan to accomplish both now, so he was temporarily unable to remove the young woman’s poison and could only suppress it.

Treating the root of the problem was difficult, but suppressing it was much easier. Liao Zixuan knew no less than a dozen methods, and the simplest one—the one he could immediately use—was…

[Magical Crystal Grass]

The nature of the Flaming Abyss Poison was to corrode the magic power in the body. As long as there was sufficient magic power, the poison could be suppressed and delayed. The Magical Crystal Grass was such a plant that contained sufficient magic power.

However…

The Magical Crystal Grass was different from the ordinary medicinal herbs that the girl had previously gathered. The reason why it could contain magic power was that the environment where the grass grew contained a large amount of magic power.

And such an environment would be described by players as the…

Boss nest.
