Global Awakening: Join the chat group at the beginning

Chapter 1563 The boundary between the virtual and real worlds, something more valuable than death

Asuna with a flash: "How could this happen!"

Yuuki Asuna is in tears. Her work is popular, but why am I the one who gets hurt?

Ordinary group owner: "You probably haven't played SAO yet, right?"

As if he had thought of something, Su Yunqing suddenly asked.

Asuna Shining: "Not yet, what's wrong?"

Asuna Yuuki was not surprised at how the group owner knew that she wanted to play SAO, but she was a little confused as to why the group owner suddenly brought this up?

It's just a game, there seems to be no reason for it to be mentioned?

Could it be that the storyline with her as the protagonist takes place in this game?
Ordinary group owner: "Oh, it's OK if you don't play."

Ordinary group owner: "This is a death game. If you die in the game, you really die."

Ordinary group leader: "Even if you beat SAO, there's still ALO waiting for you. Your fiancé is a pervert."

Ordinary group leader: "Well, let's find a time to kill Sugo Nobuyuki as soon as possible. Compared to villains like Kayaba Akihiko who pursue their dreams, people like Sugo Nobuyuki are indeed the most disgusting."

Su Yunqing will never forget the scene where Asuna and Kirito agreed to meet in reality after the end of SAO, but Asuna was trapped in a birdcage on the ALO World Tree and imprisoned by that disgusting guy Nobuyuki Sugo.

That was the first time in all the anime she had watched that she had such a direct desire to kill someone, especially since the setting was in the modern world, which could barely be considered an anime about the everyday world.

Asuna Shining: "Eh! Death game? SAO is a death game? If you die in the game, do you really die?"

Asuna Shining: "How is this possible? How can there be such a game in real life?!"

Perhaps because the death game was too unbelievable, Yuuki Asuna didn't care about what Su Yunqing said later about Sugo Nobuyuki.

However, the main reason is that Yuuki Asuna has no feelings for this so-called fiancé. In addition, if the death game is true, the impact will be too great, so she has no time to care about what Su Yunqing says next.

Heathcliff: "Let me explain this matter."

Heathcliff: "Because when I was a child, I always imagined a castle floating in the air, so when I grew up, I studied NERvGear and created the SAO game, and finally made The Seed, realizing the dream of mankind."

Heathcliff: "But how can the virtual game we created compare to the real world? Only death can make the virtual and the real completely connected."

Because it is a virtual world, no matter how real it is, in people's hearts, this world is fake.

If you want to break this cognition, you must let them treat this game like the real world. So how should you do that? Awaken their cognition of death.

If death did not exist in reality, would people still follow the laws, obey the rules and live ordinary lives like they do now?

Maybe. After all, even if there is no death, humans still have the sense of pain. Another reason why people fear death is pain.

But what if even pain could be regulated?

The same is true for games. Even if the pain can be reduced in the game, the fear of death cannot be easily eliminated.

There are things in reality that they cannot give up.

Parents, lovers, friends, work, children...

If they die like this, what should they do?

Some things are more important than death.

Heathcliff: "I am not qualified to judge whether my actions are right or wrong, but you can."

Heathcliff: "To pursue your dreams and toss other people's lives at your peril is wrong."

Heathcliff: "So go stop me, Asuna, stop Kayaba Akihiko, who is about to drag 10,000 people into a nightmare and cause thousands of deaths in your world."

Heathcliff: "Tell him about the existence of other worlds, bring him to my world, change the future of your world, and make SAO a normal game."

Heathcliff: "In return, I will pay half of the points I now have."

Kayaba Akihiko is a cold-blooded and heartless person. This is how some people in the memory copy evaluate him, and he does not refute it because he is indeed like that.

He pursued his dream regardless of everything and trapped ten thousand people in the game for his own selfish desires. No less than four thousand people died because of him.

Although he has realized his dream by joining the chat group, he no longer pursues SAO, or does not want to turn SAO into a real world in the form of a death game, but he does not criticize his original idea.

What he did was the only way to realize this dream without a chat group.

In fact, he has already succeeded. The fear of death has made many players who are deeply involved in the game regard it as a real world. Some players have even begun to believe that the outside world is fake and SAO is the real cognition.

So he doesn't think his original idea was wrong, and he still thinks so until now.

But Asuna is different, she is a victim. Those ten thousand players and the four thousand dead players are all victims in his pursuit of his dreams.

They are qualified to judge his mistakes and his sins.

Fortunately, everything has not yet begun.

So Kayaba Akihiko hopes Asuna can help him stop himself in another world.

As for how to stop it...no one knows himself better than himself.

As long as the existence of other worlds is revealed, he will abandon this plan without hesitation and touch the real world.

Creating a real world was not his goal. What he wanted was the floating castle in the air that was becoming clearer and clearer in his memory.

Just like the answer he gave to Kirito at the end of the memory copy.

"Why? I have forgotten it for a long time. What was it for?"

"When I learned about the development of the Full Dive environment system - no, it should be said that from before, I lived to create that city, a world that transcends all the frameworks and laws of the real world."

"We all have dreams since we were little, right? I forgot how old I was when I was obsessed with the fantasy of this floating castle in the sky."

“That imaginary scene remains vivid in my mind no matter how much time has passed. As I get older, the image becomes more real and more expansive.”

"Flying off the ground and going directly to that castle... That has been my only wish for a long time."

"Listen to me, Kirito, I still believe that in some world, that castle really exists."

As for why he was willing to give Asuna half of his points, it was because Asuna did not necessarily have to use his method to stop himself in another world.

Asuna didn't necessarily have to expose the existence of the chat group, tell her other self the information about other worlds, and let her self from that world come to her own world.

The most fundamental way to stop the death game is to solve the problem of yourself in another world. As long as you solve the problem of him in that world, nothing will happen.

So, this was his request, and requests come with a price in return.

For Asuna, what she lacks most is points.

Heathcliff: "You'll know the details after you finish reading the memory copy."

Heathcliff: "If you have any other ideas, you can contact me."

Heathcliff: "Sword Art Online, the name of your and my work."

Asuna flashed: "I understand."

Although Yuuki Asuna didn't know the person behind the group name "Heathcliff" at the beginning, it would be unreasonable for her not to recognize him after he said so much. If she guessed correctly, the other party should be Kayaba Akihiko from another world.

And from what Kayaba Akihiko said, she learned that this "death game" would ultimately result in the sacrifice of four thousand people.

Four thousand people is undoubtedly a terrifying number for Yuuki Asuna who lives in peacetime.

If she could stop it without hurting herself, she would certainly do her best to stop it.

But before that, let's finish reading the memory copy of her world.

Asuna Yuuki took a deep breath, found the memory copy of Sword Art Online based on the information instilled in the chat group in her mind, and clicked on it to start reading.

Ordinary group leader: "After that, it's Yao Lao and life counselor."

An ordinary group leader: "There is nothing much to say about Yao Lao, but I don't know what the current status is. Did Han Feng launch a sneak attack? Is he asleep or awake?"

Ordinary group owner: "If he is in a dormant state, it is quite troublesome. If the permissions are not enabled, you cannot go to his world without his consent."

An ordinary group leader: "But I can't sleep for too long. I don't believe that Yao Lao was dazed when he absorbed Xiao Yan's fighting spirit and he has no memory of it at all."

An ordinary group leader: "Otherwise, Xiao Yan would have lost his Dou Qi long ago, and it would be impossible for him to maintain the third stage of Dou Qi cultivation."

Although he didn't know the status of Yao Lao, who had just joined the chat group from another world, it didn't matter even if he had been turned into a spirit by Han Feng's sneak attack. At most, Xiao Yan could find some materials to revive him.

As the first Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent in ten thousand years, there is no telling how many forces are trying to curry favor with Xiao Yan. The physical materials of a Dou Zun are simply too easy to obtain.

After the strengthening, the body of Emperor Yan is also stronger, and the previous unsatisfactory parts can be repaired. In any case, it will not be worse than the original one.

If Yao Lao is unwilling to let his disciple from another world resurrect him, he can do it himself.

However, it is definitely impossible for Xiao Yan in his world to break through to the Dou Di level as easily as the Xiao Yan in the current chat group.

Without the time-traveler mission, without the [Rule-level Items] of the All-Heaven Level and of the higher value among the All-Heaven Level, without being lucky enough to be selected, and without being a time-traveler with relatively low strength who managed to get a 1% share of the missions by chance, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to reach the Dou Di realm in such a short time after joining the chat group.

The normal process must be the same as in the memory copy, but because of the alchemy techniques, pill recipes, fighting skills, and techniques in Yao Lao's own memory, they can obtain Xiao Yan, who is a seven-star Grand Fighter, and Yao Lao himself, who is at the level of Dou Zun.

Hiss, if that’s the case, will Yao Lao still accept Xiao Yan as his disciple?

After all, Yao Lao's original purpose of accepting Xiao Yan as his disciple was just to repay him for absorbing his Dou Qi for three years. In addition, Xiao Yan's own character made him feel more moved and wanted to be resurrected after being betrayed by Han Feng.

But this desire would definitely not be too great, and the relationship between master and disciple only gradually became deep later, and it was definitely not very deep at the beginning.

And now, with the help of the chat group, Yao Lao can completely resurrect himself, and at the same time give Xiao Yan his own template when he was a Seven-Star Grand Fighter. He will have the Burning Technique, the Strange Fire, the Fighting Skills, and the Alchemy Technique. At least he can make up for the cause and effect of making Xiao Yan a waste for three years.

It seems there is no reason to accept Xiao Yan as a disciple.

Su Yunqing fell into deep thought and threw this question into the chat group.

Umaru-chan: "I think it will happen again."

Umaru-chan: "As long as Yao Lao has read the memory copy and knows what kind of person Xiao Yan is, there should be no reason for him not to accept it."

Umaru-chan: "She is grateful and fought against the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan. She was resurrected for him and is the first Dou Emperor in Douqi Continent in ten thousand years. In the future, she will also bring Yao Lao to the Endless Fire Region."

Umaru-chan: "It's just accepting him as a disciple. It won't affect Yao Lao at all."

That's what Komaru thinks.

As long as Yao Lao has read the copy of his own memory, he should not hesitate on this point.

The richest man in the lighthouse: "It's not should, it's must."

The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "There is no reason for Yao Lao not to accept Xiao Yan as his disciple."

The richest man in the lighthouse: "If there must be a possibility, then there are only two possibilities."

The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "The first one is that Yao Lao has not yet woken up and his consciousness is still in a coma. He has just been betrayed by Han Feng, so he has an inexplicable resistance to accepting a disciple."

The richest man in the lighthouse: "Even if he has seen his future with Xiao Yan in the memory copy, and has seen the essential difference between Xiao Yan and Han Feng, he will not be willing to accept Xiao Yan as his disciple for the time being because of this resistance. He will most likely give him the same three years as in the memory copy as a consideration."

The Lighthouse's Richest Man: "The second possibility is that the world where Yao Lao is located is different from the original world in the memory copy we know."

The Richest Man in Lighthouse: "Just like Nalan Yanran did not break off the engagement, maybe in that world, Han Feng is a filial disciple who did not do anything to betray his master and ancestors, but Xiao Yan may not be like that, for example..."

Ordinary group leader: "Soul Palace Xiao Yan?"

Tony was still thinking about what kind of example he could use to make everyone understand what he meant more clearly, and then he was stunned by Su Yunqing's subconscious words.
