[Prelude] Gazing at the door of dreams, listening to the whispers of distant voices, a blood-stained iron sword, please guide me forward, the Spring of Light washes away the dust on my body and begins a new journey with weariness, blood and tears spread in my vision, the slaughter continues, my beloved, please do not cry for me, bless me, the devil will never protect you, even if it takes all my effort...
[Text] A moonlit night, a warm spring breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers and grass blew through the forest, the tree branches swaying in the wind, the other book friends reading normally:
Suddenly, two figures flew past and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Rustle rustle...
Stepping on the soft grass, I looked up at the stars in the sky, my heart filled with indescribable depression.
They were wiped out once again.
Next to me was a beautiful female elf archer. The moonlight was sad and beautiful, and when it fell on her body, it gilded her elegant and refined face with a layer of brilliance.
"Phew..."
She leaned against an ancient pine tree behind her, her delicate face filled with exhaustion and unwillingness. Her chest rose and fell, and she gripped a thin sword of flowing light tightly in her hand. After the intense battle, her chest armor had cracked, revealing a corner of a near-perfect peak. Her wristguards and legguards were also cracked, and two round and smooth legs were exposed to the mountain wind. Her white cloak was stained with blood, and it was almost torn into strips.
"Lu Chen, we're not running anymore." She looked at me with a red face.
"Why not?" I asked in astonishment.
She waved her hand. "We're just two days ahead of schedule, that's all. Let's give them another prairie fire, and then delete our accounts!"
"Mn, I'll listen to you, boss."
I nodded and slowly raised my bloodstained palm.
Swhoosh!
A fire arrow pierced through the sky and suddenly exploded in the air, turning into a rain of fire that rained down. In an instant, the entire forest turned into a sea of fire.
"Ahhhh..."
Screams rose and fell. Thousands of players who had been chasing after us were burned to a crisp, their bodies black as they fell into the sea of fire.
I let out a long sigh of relief. "Alright."
"Yes." The girl nodded. "Let's go. Let's begin our new journey!"
I raised my palm horizontally and several rays of light formed by data danced and spiraled in my palm. In the next moment, my body gradually disappeared. The beautiful archer opposite me smiled and nodded. She also opened her slender fingers and data flew everywhere. Then, we both disappeared into the virtual forest.
…
"Shh …"
I let out a long sigh and took off my gaming helmet.
Finally, it was over.
During his two years in Spirit of Grief, he had fought in the north and south. There was glory, pain, friends, and enemies … but in the end, he had to leave this virtual world.
Not far away, another helmet was placed on a table. It was glowing, and the words "Heavenblessed" were written on it in flamboyant calligraphy.
That's right, the world's strongest gaming corporation, Eternal Moon Corporation, had released a new game called "Heavenblessed" after their last game, Spirit of Grief. It was known as the game of the generation, and it was number one both in terms of game design and user count. More than eight hundred million helmets were sold within a month of its release, and it occupied more than 95% of the market.
Heavenblessed would officially be released at 12 am in two days. There would be no closed beta or open beta.
After hearing this news, many parties were prepared to leave Spirit of Grief and develop in a new game. We were no exception.

Heavenblessed would officially be released at 12 am in two days. There would be no closed beta or open beta. This was also one of the reasons I left the previous game.
Heavenblessed's gaming helmets were divided into four sizes: low, middle, high, and VIP. Their prices varied, and mine was a VIP helmet. A line of small blue words was printed on the side of the helmet — CGL Hall of Famer — Falling Dust.
That's right, my name was Lu Chen.
There were legends about me everywhere in the world.
… …
"Heh..."
I laughed self-deprecatingly and turned on the computer. An avatar on MSN was shaking, signed "Boss". It was my beautiful guild leader.
I opened it and saw that she had left a message: "Let's meet tomorrow morning?
Name a place. "
"Tomorrow morning at 9 am, in front of the stadium on Sanxiang Road."
She quickly replied, "Alright, I've sold our equipment. Including your salary, it's a total of two hundred thousand. I've made a new card and will give it to you tomorrow."
"Mn."
I sorted out my emotions and lay on the bed. I thought about the many things that had happened in the past two years. The ups and downs of life made me feel helpless.
I had followed Boss for more than a year, but I had never seen her in person. She also said that her appearance in the game had been adjusted. She was actually a dinosaur, not a beauty.
I didn't really care about this.
… …
The next morning, I got up early and wore casual clothes to stroll on the streets. My place was not far from the stadium. It was only a ten minute walk away.
I was a bit nervous, so I called Boss. "Boss, what do you look like? How do I recognize you?"
A pleasant laugh came from the other side of the phone. "Silly boy, go to the front of the stadium. The brightest one is me."
"Mn."
I hung up and went to the bus stop in front of the stadium. I looked around and waited.
There were seven or eight people on the bus stop. Not far away, there was a brand new black sports car. I couldn't recognize the brand, but it should be very expensive.
The time was up, but Boss still hadn't appeared.
I was getting impatient, so I took out my phone and was about to call her again.
At this time, everyone had already discovered one thing. The owner of that famous sports car was actually a super beauty. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and was the type of outstanding beauty. She had a faint smile on her face, and her long hair was slightly fluttering in the wind. Her beautiful smile was even more captivating. Almost all the young people on the platform were dumbfounded. No one had thought that such a good car would actually have such a stunning beauty in it.
… …
This was the first time I saw He Yi. She was beautiful, otherworldly, and graceful. She was like a bright bolt of lightning that split apart the chaos of my life. In that instant, my mind went blank, and everything in front of me disappeared. The only thing that remained was her peerless beauty. It was like a ray of holy light had fallen from the sky, and I couldn't help but walk toward her.
The beauty didn't care about other people's gazes. She picked up her phone and dialed a number. Her red lips curled into a dissatisfied expression.
Doo doo doo...
My phone rang, and Boss's voice came from inside. "Lu Chen, why aren't you here yet?"
I was stunned and in disbelief. Was the boss I had followed for almost two years really this beauty?
Then she was clearly lying. She was definitely a super beauty, the kind that could move one's soul and shock the world. Fans loved to read "Boss" too.
"Boss, I've been here for a long time …"
Slightly embarrassed, I stood in front of her with my phone.
The beauty turned to look at me and gave me a moving smile. She opened the car door and said with a smile, "It's you?
Get in, I'm taking you somewhere today. "
I crawled into the beautiful woman's car under everyone's gaze. Countless envious, jealous, and hateful gazes were like sharp swords stabbing into my back.
"Boss, I didn't expect you to …"
"I what?" She turned around and smiled, her beautiful eyes full of teasing.
I swallowed my saliva and didn't continue speaking. The collar of this female uniform was very low, revealing a breathtaking snow-white chest. The deep cleavage was even more mesmerizing. Such an alluring scene made my head heat up.
There was an exquisite work pass next to the boss's collar. Clearly, she had come here during work hours. The name "GGS" was written in big letters on the work pass, and below it was the boss's name — He Yi!
What was even more shocking was that the position behind the name was: Asia Region Vice President!
"Boss, your name is He Yi?" I asked.
"Mn, not a bad name, right?" She smiled and started the car. "Lu Chen, what are your plans for the future?
Or should I say, do you have any dreams? "
"Dreams?"
I thought for a moment and said with a smile, "My dream is to live in seclusion in the mountains and be a happy person. I will feed horses, chop firewood, and travel the world. Starting tomorrow, I will care about food and vegetables. I will build a big house facing the sea and flowers bloom in spring …"
"Pfft, other book friends, read normally:!"
He Yi burst into giggles. "You have no future. Let me be your guiding light instead!
Come, I'll take you somewhere. "
"What place?"
I sat in the front passenger seat, a bit nervous.
He Yi smiled mysteriously and raised her eyebrows slightly. "A place where dreams can be realized. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is going to build a high-level workshop soon, and all of the main members of the workshop should be moving there. You're the first person I thought of."
"A workshop?"
I was confused. I had been alone for a long time, and now I was going to join a gaming workshop?
"Boss, I want to be alone …" I was silent for a long time before I said, "Actually, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is the same without me …"
He Yi glared at me and said angrily, "Cut the crap, I told you to come, so come!"
I had no choice but to keep quiet. After following He Yi for two years, everyone knew how decisive she was. We had no choice but to obey her decisions.
I didn't say anything. He Yi focused on driving, but she would sneak glances at me from time to time with a smile on her face.
He Yi handed me a card. It was part of my income for the past half a year. The car sped out of the city, and the cars on the road became fewer and fewer.
I didn't know that my life would change on this peaceful morning.
Before this, I would never have thought that my life would take such a different path.
