You guys really know how to play in the second dimension

When Tang Hao returned to Aincrad, he saw many players ascending.

That's right, it's ascension.

With the end of the war and the overall victory of Aincrad, the originally banned option to exit the game was finally officially opened, and these tens of thousands of players who had been trapped in the tower for half a year could finally return to their original places. world.

In fact, a lot of things have happened in more than half a year. From the initial panic to the gradual stabilization, it is difficult for players to regard Aincrad as a game. They are here to survive and fight. The overly real environment has made life here form a small society. Some people have even found boyfriends and girlfriends. It is very difficult for them to suddenly give up everything.

However, most people still choose to leave because they are more reluctant to let go of the real world.

Although after leaving this world, they are no longer strong men who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and they may not be able to come back in the future, but they have their relatives and families in the real world, and they do not have to face the threat of death all the time... In the final analysis, adventure is It's just a momentary passion, an extraordinary embellishment in life, and for most people, a stable and stable life is what they pursue throughout their lives.

So, after saying goodbye to their friends and partners and leaving their real-life contact information, the players left this world one after another.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who are still hesitating. These people are actually people who have no worries in the real world, such as Guri Seltan. Her only relative in reality is her husband. Although her marriage is quite happy, being a boring and ordinary housewife makes her life without passion. It was not until she entered the game world that she finally found herself and lived a life of adventure and battle. Every day is lived to the fullest.

If her husband was still alive, she would have given up her life here for the sake of her family and returned to the real world. However, her husband was unfortunately killed when the undead army first invaded. Now she is truly alone. Even if we return to the real world, there is nothing to look forward to.

Moreover, the world here is not false.

As one of the captains of the Thirteenth Division, she knows more truths than ordinary players. Here, she can also live as a real human being and have more expectations than the boring reality. Why should she? Back to reality?

But, can the real world really be completely cut off?

Even though they are more inclined to live here, Guriseltan and others are still hesitant.

Although these people are a minority, they add up to a large group. They are unable to make a decision quickly. After seeing Tang Hao's return, everyone, represented by Guli Sirtan, asked Tang Hao for his opinion.

Tang Hao didn't know what to say about this, mainly because he couldn't be sure whether the players who left could come back.

Even Kayaba Akihiko couldn't give an answer to this point, because his GM authority had long been lost. After the complete integration of the two worlds, the system of the game world also transformed into an evolutionary tree. The current He is just an ordinary player, an ordinary person living in Aincrad, unable to fathom the intentions of the world.

"OK."

At this moment, a deep female voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

This was the first time for everyone to hear this sound. Looking for the sound, they saw the huge holy tree gently swaying its branches and leaves.

"Is... the holy tree talking?" Asuna looked surprised.

"This is the first time we meet. I am the will of the world. This is the first and probably the last time I speak. In order to avoid causing a sensation, my voice can only be heard by you. Please let me explain the situation."

The voice of the will of the world reached everyone's ears. Tang Hao observed it and found that the only people who noticed the voice were him, Kirito, Asuna, Yui and Kayaba Akihiko.

Kirito and others suddenly looked confused, because this was the first time they had been exposed to the will of the world so intuitively, but Tang Hao had already become accustomed to it, nodded calmly, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say? "

"First of all, I want to express my gratitude to you all, because your efforts have made me what I am now. In the confrontation between these three world wills, I was originally the weakest. It is because of your existence that I can be like this. The posture appears and communicates with you.”

Tang nodded secretly. To be precise, it was because of him. If we only relied on the local players in Aincrad, it would be impossible to fight against the Great Tomb in half a year, so he happily accepted this thank you.

Once you get over this, you will be more dignified when you go out in the future. You see, even the will of the world has been helped by me.

"Secondly, although I have grasped the evolutionary direction of the world, the power of the holy tree is limited. Only when the tree nourishes people and people nourish the tree can the power be endless. Therefore, it is not only for the development of Aincrad, but also for the development of Aincrad. In return for everyone, I have specially opened two ports with my own authority..."

"First, the original ecosystem is maintained. The game login port is still valid. Whether it is players who have left or others, they can let their consciousness enter Aincrad through the normal game terminal. However, due to changes in the ecosystem , the original data of these players will be erased, and at the same time, the players’ login points will only be limited to the area around the Holy Tree.”

"Second, this is my new reincarnation port. For players who want to stay in this world permanently, I will retain their existing data based on the holy tree and let them merge with the physical body of another world, but in this way Come, they will no longer be able to return to their original world, and their lives will be connected to the Holy Tree. After death, their souls will return to the Holy Tree and be born from the Holy Tree again. If the Holy Tree withers, their souls will also be completely gone. .”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. They did not expect that the will of the world would make such an arrangement. After thinking about it carefully, Tang Hao found that the arrangement of the will of the world was quite comprehensive. Players who wanted to play the game could still play the game. You can maintain contact with Aincrad, although you have to start from scratch, and players who want to stay and live here can also be reincarnated here. Everyone has a choice.

"Yui."

"Uh...I'm here." Yui was stunned when she heard the will of the world calling her name, and then nodded quickly.

"In order to maintain the evolution of Aincrad, I will enter a deep sleep and will not be able to appear for a long time in the future. Are you willing to manage these two ports for me?"

"Me? But why me?"

"You are connected to the ecosystem of Aincrad, and you are the only one who can communicate with the Holy Tree. Whether it is a game port or a reincarnation port, you need the power of the Holy Tree. No one is more suitable than you."

Tang Hao nodded. In a way, Yui is actually the daughter of Aincrad's world will.

Yui was a little hesitant. Although she was very happy that she could be of use, this responsibility was a bit too heavy. She was afraid that she would not do well and did not know whether to accept it.

"It doesn't matter, even if you can't do it, we still have us." Tang Hao knew what she was worried about, patted Yui's head and said with a smile.

"I...I know, I will work hard!"

The gynecological master is indeed a gynecological master. Encouraged, Yui quickly accepted the arrangement of the will of the world and nodded her head vigorously.

"Then, from now on, you will be the Miko of the Holy Tree."

As the words of the world's will fell, an extremely pure power poured down from the sky and poured into Yui's body. Although her appearance did not change, her whole temperament suddenly became sacred. Even the players around him couldn't help but cast their eyes on Yui.

"I leave Aincrad to you."

After saying these words, the voice of the world's will disappeared, and the sacred tree gradually stopped swinging.

Later, Tang Hao told the news to Guliseltan and others. These people originally planned to stay here, but they hesitated because they still had some unfulfilled wishes in the real world. But now that they have such an opportunity, naturally they will not If he hesitated again, he immediately gathered around Yui and got busy.

Soon after, the players left one by one. Some may leave permanently, some may come in to try, and some, after fulfilling their wishes in the real world, will bring their physical bodies with them, forever. Settled in Aincrad.

Tang Hao didn't know whether these people would regret their current choices in the future, but in any case, this was the life they chose.

"So, what about you?" Finally, Tang Hao turned around and looked at Kirito Asuna and Kayaba Akihiko.

However, this question is basically meaningless. Kayaba Akihiko developed the game SAO with the will to die. As early as the beginning of entering the game world, his body in the real world was already dead. For him, the choice was early. Already done it.

As for Kirito and Asuna, both of them also chose reincarnation mode.

Once ordinary players are reincarnated, they can only settle in Aincrad permanently, but Kirito and Asuna have a chat room, and for the two of them, the limitations of the world do not exist.

"Um..." Asuna stood in front of Tang Hao and asked shyly, "Can you go back with me?"

"certainly."

…

In a large hospital in Japan, on the bed in a luxurious nursing ward, Asuna slowly opened her eyes. She was still wearing a gaming helmet on her head. Being bedridden for half a year had made her body a little sluggish.

She tried to get up, but found that her body could not exert any strength. Only then did she realize that she had returned to her original body. Now she was neither an elf nor a goddess, but an ordinary human being. The power she once had It was not brought to this body.

Subconsciously, Asuna panicked.

Now she is not Asuna, but Yuuki Asuna. Now that Asuna's power has been lost, what about the chat room? Is the chat room still bound to me?

"you're awake."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

Asuna immediately turned her head and saw Tang Hao sitting beside the hospital bed, smiling slightly.

"Very good……"

Asuna's nervous mood instantly relaxed. She instinctively wanted to get up, but Tang Hao shook his head, pressed her body and said, "Don't worry, your body is still very weak now, it is not appropriate to move around for the time being. , I will rub it for you for a while, so that your body can adapt to it as much as possible. However, there is a more important thing at the moment..."

Asuna saw Tang Hao's serious expression and became nervous again, "What...what's important?"

Tang Hao's eyes were stern and he said in a deep voice: "Take a shower, you haven't taken a shower for more than half a year."

Asuna: "..."
