Weird Calendar

Time remaining, eleven seconds.

The end of Senluo Labyrinth, under the ninety-nine steps.

Sima Yi only felt as if he was in an absolutely still world.

There are only thoughts, not stopped by time.

And everything around him was wrapped in dark blue energy.

philosopher.

Sima Yi thought of this mysterious occupation in the old calendar.

But it seems different.

"Perhaps I am being taken special care of, otherwise I would not be able to feel the time stop."

Because thinking also takes time, feeling also takes time.

"Damn it, what the hell is that kid Qin Ze doing now?"

"Why did this incredible opportunity fall on him?"

"Is it because of Nuwa?"

Although he was in the Senluo Labyrinth, with the seventh level god not far away, Sima Yi didn't panic at all at this moment.

That feeling of fear is completely gone.

He only thinks about one thing now - what on earth is Qin Ze doing?

Obviously, in his consciousness, more than a minute had passed.

This means that the guy summoned by the mask has used some kind of time-based ability.

And they didn't use this ability to kill gods...

Sima Yi naturally thought that it would probably not take time for the opponent to kill the worthy god.

What level of existence is this?

Jealousy made Sima Yi's heart crawl like a hundred thousand ants.

…

…

The real world, unknown waters.

When Qin Ze's figure appeared on the deck of the huge sea ship, he frowned slightly.

[This is... the real world? 】

"Yes, there is an important person here, but it looks like he is hiding."

Qin Ze said, talking to himself.

This made Edward Kenway, who was holding the lamp, a little confused.

"Who are you?"

The Old Calendar Patriarch just glanced at Edward Kenway's lamp.

The soul-gathering lamp went out instantly.

Edward Kenway was shocked and wanted to do something, but unexpectedly discovered...

The idea seemed like some huge offense.

"A guy with a keen sense of smell. He is hiding. Qin Ze, there are really not many things I can do for you. There are many opportunities. You have already relied on your own abilities or your friends and lovers to trigger them."

"You have enviable friends and a good partner. But correspondingly, the disaster you have to face is also very strong."

Edward Kenway still heard the word Qin Ze.

But the next second, the hand of the Old Calendar Ancestor fell on Edward Kenway's forehead.

It feels like a fairy caressing my head.

"The lantern holder will help you at the critical moment."

The soul-gathering lamp turned on again.

Edward Kenway's eyes also lost their guard.

Qin Ze has no idea what the ancestor of the old calendar is doing.

He didn't know what was on this ship or what the hiding being was.

Qin Ze felt that he should talk to the ancestor of the old calendar.

[Are we... back to the real world? 】

"Yes. We don't have much time left. The last thing I can do is actually kill the god."

The ancestor of the old calendar stood with his hands behind his back, walking on the deck, feeling the sea breeze.

Edward Kenway was waiting respectfully like a servant.

Qin Ze could feel that his current body could probably do anything.

Unfortunately, men's regrets never last long.

At this time, the two of them already had some sense of separation.

"There are many treasures in the Old Calendar Era, and some of them can indeed change the situation on the chessboard."

"But that's not the point."

"Qin Ze, you still have a lot to do. The era of pioneers has passed. The old calendar is above all else. Remember this sentence..."

"Follow the appropriate and violate the taboo. This is the rule I set with the ancestor of the old calendar."

[Why should we establish such a code? Is there a possibility that the taboos that are refreshed every day can be manipulated? 】

Qin Ze has always wanted to know the answer to this question.

"No, different professions and different choices will lead to different directions. Neither I nor the God of Corruption are allowed to interfere."

"The trends of the Old Calendar are favorable and taboo, and will ultimately weed out many participants in the Old Calendar war."

"The person who influences you to achieve everything is appropriate, everything is inappropriate, or any specific behavior is actually you."

"Of course, there is will in this world, but it is not my will... I am the weak one."

"And among the combatants selected by the final calendar...some are willing to help the God of Corruption, and some may be willing to help me."

[In other words, right now you...are competing with that god? 】

"I check and balance each other with it. The worthy gods and the fallen gods are all its forces. Some of them are the gods in the pantheon in the previous era. They just changed their dynasties and changed their names."

"For example, the one you are about to kill is the God of Confusion and Confusion. Now, its name is the Seventh Value God, Lord of the Labyrinth."

Qin Ze understood somewhat. Indeed, everything was as the ancestor of the old calendar said. It is indeed meaningless to dwell on history now.

The key is the outcome of the war between the ancestors of the Old Calendar and the second Old Calendar War.

The first Old Calendar Ancestor, who was the vessel of the God of Corruption, has now become the God of Corruption.

Its chess pieces include the corrupted world of the old calendar, the corrupted gods, and the gods.

They will continue to compress the living space of those who belong to the Old Calendar.

Using weird rules and the gods' whispers, they turn the Old Calendar people into Old Calendar creatures.

And the second ancestor of the old calendar is the one he summoned——

Then, together with other rulers of the old calendar, they established a relatively weak side on the chessboard.

The masters of the old calendar turned their will into the treasures of the old calendar and left them elsewhere.

Now it seems that these treasures are not the most critical.

They are only in the initial stage and will bring some help.

To enter the real middle of the chess game, you may have to follow suit and avoid taboos like the team leader did.

What the Old Ancestor No. 2 did was to create a world, which is the so-called real world, replicating the human world before the catastrophe.

What he was betting on was that the descendants of mankind would emerge from the chessboard and enter the stage of chess players.

That is, the new partners in the second Old Calendar War.

This is indeed the case, and the ancestor of the old calendar is obviously in a good mood.

When he discovered that what he wanted to do didn’t actually require him to do it himself——

He could clearly feel that the world was not getting worse from generation to generation.

So, the third to last thing he did was to go to the deck of this huge cruise ship to leave an "escape exit" for the future catastrophe.

Now, he has done this.

"Among the gods, the weakest is the seventh god. Once the maze is broken through, it will become nothing."

"To break through the maze, you relied on a lot of external forces, such as the mechanical tribe."

“But it’s also a skill to be able to borrow external forces.”

"I will kill the seventh god, but I can only do so much."

"The sixth-level gods to the second-level gods are all extremely troublesome characters. Next, you have to expel them one by one."

Qin Zeyou noticed that the ancestor of the old calendar deliberately did not mention the first god.

[Where is the first god? 】

"The Eternal Lord is an existence that is obviously higher than other gods. If the Eternal Lord does not die, there will be new second-level to seventh-level gods."

"It's just a matter of time. When you are qualified to challenge the Eternal Lord... maybe the Old Calendar War will have already begun."

Having said this, the ancestor of the old calendar paused briefly and said with a smile:

"I look forward to that day coming, fellow travelers, don't make me wait too long."

Although many partners have died, although many bonds have completely become history...

Although he seemed to have lost everything, he still decided to move forward. When facing the God of Corruption, he chose to devote a large part of his power to create a world where humans can survive.

Qin Ze suddenly felt that this guy was actually very lonely.

He was a true pioneer, getting to the front and losing almost everything there was to lose along the way.

In the end, he chose to be at the front, waiting for those who came after him.

But will there really be latecomers? Even he himself said that the Old Calendar will screen out those who will participate in the next Old Calendar War, but among those people, some are willing to help the God of Corruption, while those who are willing to help the Old Calendar Ancestor may only appear.

This ancestor of the old calendar actually had a pessimistic attitude, right?

When the battle really started and he found that there was no one around him... how lonely it must be.

Perhaps it was because of absolute loneliness that I felt so happy after meeting Qin Ze and discovering that Qin Ze had accomplished something.

"I still have two things to do, but the next thing has nothing to do with you. Please allow me... to be willful for once."

【I'm ready to travel. 】

The masked man snapped his fingers again and disappeared from the deck.

The man holding the lantern seemed to have had a dream. When he woke up from the dream, his face was full of confusion.

Soon after, he held a lantern and walked towards the inside of the ship. It's like going deep into hell to meet the devil in hell.

…

…

Linxiang City.

The penultimate stop on the journey was a place familiar to Qin Ze.

In the Youke New Town community, Qin Ze, wearing a mask, suddenly appeared downstairs at his home.

He didn't know what time it was, but Aunt Wang and Uncle Zhou had already returned from the Old Calendar Prison.

And judging from the game content played by Aunt Wang, it should be Elden's Ring DLC ​​Golden Tree Shadow. Obviously, this is not the current time point.

Suddenly there was an extra person in the room, which startled the second elder.

"Xiao Qin, is that you? Why are you wearing a mask? Oh, that's right..."

What surprised Qin Ze was that although the two elders were startled, they quickly accepted the reality of Qin Ze's arrival.

And he seemed to understand the reason why Qin Ze wore a mask.

This made Qin Ze puzzled.

"Hey, poor kid, don't worry, I don't believe what others say!"

"People from the company come to my place every three days, but I always drive them away!"

"Have you eaten anything? I asked Lao Zhou to give you a bowl of noodles?"

Aunt Wang kept nagging. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of intimacy when she saw Qin Ze.

It was there before, but now it's stronger.

She couldn't describe this feeling, but she just wanted to hug Qin Ze.

These days, Xiao Qin's reputation is not very good, and she doesn't know what happened.

Qin Ze was even more confused.

[Why does Aunt Wang’s words...not sound right? What happened to me in the future? 】

"It's just a necessary step. It's a small problem. You don't need to worry about it."

The ancestor of the old calendar suddenly spoke, not only to explain to Qin Ze, but also to Aunt Wang.

This world, although there are many people... is created by oneself.

But the ancestors of the old calendar never thought that these people were "NPCs".

He said that there are no NPCs in this world.

In the last ten seconds, he left time to himself.

The reason is to meet my parents.

"I want to hug you."

"Of course that's good, kid! You must have suffered a lot these days."

"Yes, I have walked a long way and am a little tired, but I still want to come and see you."

Qin Ze's body hugged Aunt Wang. At this moment, Qin Ze suddenly thought of something.

It turns out that this is the anchor point of the ancestor of the old calendar...

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Qin Ze experienced a duel with the God of Suture.

The God of Suture sewed up the parents of the ancestor of the old calendar.

In other words, in real history...the parents of the ancestors of the old calendar no longer exist.

But he still created two such people.

"I want to hug you too." The ancestor of the old calendar looked at Zhou Zeshui who was silent but at a loss.

Because in Zhou Zeshui's eyes, "Qin Ze" at this time is very dangerous.

Although he doesn't believe in some things, what if?

But when "Qin Ze" made this request, Zhou Zeshui readily agreed.

While hugging him, he patted Qin Ze on the shoulder:

“Take a rest when you are tired, and the journey will eventually be completed.”

"Thanks, I'll remember that."

Finally, the ancestor of the old calendar is leaving.

Qin Ze could feel that the happiness and satisfaction that came from the bottom of his heart even affected himself.

"I love you, mom, dad. See you again when we are destined. I am about to start a new journey."

With a snap of his fingers, the figure disappeared.

It all seemed like a dream.

Aunt Wang stayed where she was, with tears in her eyes.

"What did he just... call me?"

Zhou Zeshui also suspected that he heard wrongly and did not answer.

After a long time, Zhou Zeshui sighed:

"Xiao Qin, what a good boy."

…

…

The last stop of the journey is over.

Time remaining - one second.

Qin Ze suddenly thought that it would be better if Sima Yi could hold on longer.

But then he felt that... Sima Yi had done a good job.

If anyone were to do this, they might not be able to last a minute.

The scene change at this time has returned to the end of Senluo Labyrinth.

At the last second, Qin Ze saw his hand pressing on the face of the seventh-level god Uzumaki.

[What level do I need to reach to be able to kill it head-on with my own abilities? 】

Qin Ze asked this question.

"You may have such power after transcending the realm of heaven and humanity, but some things are hard to say. Your trajectory is unpredictable..."

"It's like no one believes that a person who is neither a ghost nor a god can kill a god."

"I said that the old calendar is above all else. In the world that I created together with the first ancestor of the old calendar, there are many opportunities. These opportunities may create existences stronger than us."

"So, don't dwell on the past. The pioneer era is over. What you have to do now is to become the savior of the old calendar era."

"Time is up."

Zero seconds.

Qin Ze wanted to say something more, but the mask... was completely broken.

His biggest trump card, summoning the savior, was just used.

And the hand holding down the seventh-level god finally felt a touch.

It was not the touch of flesh and blood. It feels like sun-dried earth, which turns into powder with a gentle squeeze.

Instant kill.

The seventh-level god died in less than one second during the sixty-one seconds when the ancestor of the old calendar arrived.

The swirling face was materialized and its shape changed. Everything was exactly as the great being said - it had been changed.

The maze began to fall apart.

Sima Yi suddenly began to pant violently, and pressed Qin Ze with his hands:

"You killed a god!"

At this moment, Qin Ze realized that control of his body had returned to him.

The disbelieving expression on Sima Yi's face made Qin Ze feel...everything was a little dazed.

This is the ancestor of the old calendar...

Those beings who need to cross the heaven-human realm before they are qualified to fight, in the eyes of the opponent, are just mayflies that can be killed with just a touch.

Sima Yi suddenly held his head in his hands and huddled on the ground in pain.

The lost half of the soul is back.

But this process is obviously very painful.

Qin Ze also felt Lu Buwei's wailing in his mind.

At this time, killing Sima Yi may not be a difficult task.

The maze began to collapse, and cracks appeared in all the maze scenes.

Qin Ze knew that if he didn't leave here quickly, he would be left here forever by the collapsed maze.

Qin Ze wanted to kill Sima Yi, but in the end, he chose to help Sima Yi, who was in pain and fusing the other half of his soul, up.

"Haven't you heard a saying... In troubled times... kill the Holy Mother first! Your kindness will only harm you."

Sima Yi was in great pain, but he still managed to stay awake.

He was supported by Qin Ze and said such words.

Qin Ze sneered and said:

"Come on, what I'm struggling with is not whether I should kill you morally, but whether you have the value of surviving in terms of profit."

"Killing a worthy god is a big deal, and now we have accomplished it."

"You are a participant, so there must be a lot of rewards. It would be a pity to kill you."

When Sima Yi heard this, he endured the pain that tore his soul and forced out a smile:

"You are so interesting...Qin Ze. But you don't think...this will allow me to join forces with you, do you?"

Qin Ze smiled and said:

"I said, you are the participant, and I am the killer. When you see the generous rewards in your old calendar, you should understand that I have more things than you..."

"Sima Yi, aren't people like us betting on the future?"

This sentence obviously hit Sima Yi. He was really curious about what Qin Ze's reward would be.

At the same time, Qin Ze's words were very satisfying to him.

Yes, he is a person who bets on the future. He believes that he is no match for the Five Gods, no match for the top masters on the board of directors, and no match for the top killers in the killer world...

But who knows who can reach the top of the chessboard in the future?

Killing the Worthy God is just the beginning of this story.

If he hadn't been in too much pain, he would probably have laughed wildly.

The two of them supported each other and escaped from the collapsed maze as quickly as possible.

The ninety-nine steps began to collapse, like a burned high platform.

The corrupt throne turned into a pool of black sewage, flowing down the broken platform.

All this declares that the prelude to the Old Calendar War has slowly begun.

The seventh god, Lord of the Labyrinth, died at the hands of humans on this day.
