Xiao Na isn’t exactly the consciousness of the World Ga, rely a role akin to a "Divine Envoy." But the most powerful aspect is... she can subtly intervene within the World Ga because she exists independently, and even if punished by the Rules, it won’t involve the consciousness of the World Ga.
For example, secretly sending a special identity Black Card to a potential Player.
For instance, disguising as a service staff of the Organizers.
Or even, helping... Hui Bai in front of her.
The red-haired woman’s eyes were as indifferent as ice, but soon she crouched down, interest sparking as she lifted Hui Bai’s chin, looking into his almost detached eyes:
"I like your blue eyes."
"Your deal, there is no issue."
"However, I’m just a shell, not the true consciousness of the World Ga. I can only use words, letting those parasites called ’Organizers’ help you."
Hui Bai smiled.
Blood stread down, he trembled with his eyelids, smiling: "That... is really... wonderful."
The red-haired woman’s inorganic eyes seed to penetrate everything: "You pretend to be so surprised. But actually, even before coming here, you must have anticipated things developing this way, and you expected to get help from the World Ga."
Hui Bai smiled faintly without speaking.
The red-haired woman said: "You are indeed terrifying... Humans regard you as the Number One Player unworthy of their virtue, even thinking Antetolia in Rank Two is much smarter and more suitable as the Number One Player. But in my view, soone like you who precisely captures supre information and uses it as leverage to negotiate a trade, ultimately reversing the entire board... that person is the most terrifying."
Hui Bai coughed up fragnted internal organs, the corners of his eyes tinged red lifted slightly: "Thank you for the complint."
The red-haired woman stood up, pacing slowly.
"As for how you should address ..." the red-haired woman pondered for a mont but could find no good idea.
Hui Bai said intermittently: "On our planet... the most famous deity culture is Xi Country’s culture... You can use the nas of deities... to na yourself..."
"Oh, let see." The red-haired woman’s eyes flickered, soon retrieving all information related to Xi Country’s culture:
"In Xi Country’s culture, the king of the Gods is nad ’Zeus’..."
"Thus, the World Ga is akin to the ’king of the Gods Zeus,’ even the Twelve High Dinsions must bow to Him."
"And as the progeny of the World Ga, I shall be called—"
The sound of the zither reached its final cadence at this mont.
After a prolonged hibernation of low tones, it suddenly burst forth with a heavy roar like a tidal wave—
"The daughter of ’the king of the Gods Zeus’—’Athena,’ then."
She curled her lips, smiling:
"Then I’ll be called Xiao Na."
"Xiao Na."

[Q: So, repeat the contents of the deal—You help us clear so extrely difficult stages, and in exchange, we’ll contact the Organizers willing to help your civilization.]
[A: Precisely.]
[Q: I need to emphasize, most of your top-ranked players are dead, the Points progress bar hasn’t t the standard, humanity is dood for extinction. So, this deal, at best you can save yourself and so companions. 99% of humanity, you cannot save.]
[A: ...I know, I’m prepared for that.]
[Q: Then let’s get to the point, tell your thoughts. You’ve already failed, even most of the top ten players are dead, how will you clear the stages?]
[A: The answer is—migration.]
[Q: Migration?]
[A: The Player’s identity should originate from their holand, like a passport, "Zhai Star people" are called "Zhai Star Players." But if—I lived on a different planet, such as the moon, then should I be called a "Zhai Star Player" or a "Moon Player"?]
[Q (shocked): ...]
[A: See, you hadn’t considered this problem. If I migrate from Zhai Star to a new planet, it’s equivalent to obtaining a "new passport." Then why shouldn’t I, holding a "new passport," regain Player identity?]
[Q: ...]
[A: I have an undeveloped small world in hand, not yet fully grown, only half a planet. But my authority is "Witch," I excel at creating seeds and spawning life, as long as I get enough ti, this half planet will eventually develop into a complete civilization.]
[A: anwhile, I have a Skill called "Soul Ferry," which effects: "As long as you live forever, all stored life will also live forever. You alone are the spiritual collective of a race. But if you are killed, it simultaneously kills an entire civilization." I’ve already stored the data of deceased top players, once we reach the small world, I can "resurrect" them.]
[A: However, I only plan to "resurrect" those I trust, like the top ten, as for those beyond the top ten, since I’m not familiar with them, I won’t include them.]
[A: I’ll take the small world and the top ten players, leave Zhai Star, focus on developing, and once we fully develop, with the top ten resurrected, we’ll return to clear the instance for the World Ga.]
[A: What do you think?]
[Q: ...a very complete plan, just needs a few details refined, I agree.]
[A: Then please help us contact the Organizers willing to assist us. I hear the Fifth Thrones and Eleventh Thrones are relatively friendly, they are trapped here unable to leave, maybe willing to help the small world escape, thank you.]
...
In the year 2020 AD, Zhai Star was destroyed.
Thirty-six Full Perfect Clearers fought intensely, resulting in heavy casualties, the Points progress failed to et the standard.
Facing the final monts of collective annihilation, Number One Player Hui Bai made a deal with the consciousness of the World Ga—obtaining help from the Eleventh Thrones among the Organizers.
Kosona Ranbo, a human genius scientist, who successfully experinted in the past century, remained in his physical body until the 21st century, becoming one of the top ten players.
With peak powerhouses dead, the dragon headless, Ranbo stood up voluntarily, together with Rank 14 Bei Wang, Rank 16 Lu, and Rank 19 Atlanda, proposed the idea of "abandoning the body and transforming into a collective consciousness."
His voice, through the Sound Transmission Skill, reached the ears of most people.
"—Do you willing to take a gamble with , brethren."
"We have no choice."
—His idea is extrely bold.
Stall the World Ga!
To stall the World Ga requires: 1. Your civilization lacks uniqueness, and the World Ga will co. 2. Only when the civilization wins or perishes, the World Ga will leave.
It’s like a trigger-based program, triggering the forr, will output the latter.
So, as long as the civilization neither wins nor perishes, the World Ga can’t leave!
"Actually exploiting the World Ga’s bug, he’s a mad scientist..." Isabella murmured.
...
At the sa ti.
Xiao Na’s expression changed, staring at Hui Bai in shock.
At this mont, she had already helped Hui Bai contact the Fifth Thrones and Eleventh Thrones, both willing to help Zhai Star.
"You... deceived ?" Xiao Na stared at Hui Bai.
If according to Hui Bai’s plan, these humans should be waiting to die. There was no plan to "stall the World Ga"!
Xiao Na had monitored the entire process, Hui Bai and Ranbo had no interaction, yet they played such coordination!
Hui Bai, covering his face full of blood, burst into laughter, as if finally releasing everything, laughing wildly, tears of blood streaming down:
"Yes, yes indeed! I deceived you! Child of Zeus! Daughter of God!"
"We are going to collectively abandon our bodies, turn into a collective consciousness, hide in the small worlds held by the top players! Let the World Ga unable to eliminate us, never reaching the final calculation mont!"
"World Ga—you claim to save, yet only save those civilizations that et the Points progress, and once it fails, it’s collective annihilation!"
"What kind of salvation is this! It’s just a large Colosseum wandering in the Universe! Strong civilizations survive, weak civilizations are exterminated!"
"Zhai Star, undeniably a very weak civilization, so should we willingly be erased?"
"You are indeed a noble entropy increase inhibitor, a beneficial white cell organ, an imaging head constantly redeeming all worlds of heavens!"
"But you are also an unfeeling executioner, an overseer concerned only with scores, an autocrat’s guillotine devoid of democracy!"
"How many civilizations have you saved along the way, and how many have you destroyed?"
"I am not standing on so moral high ground to accuse you but to tell you, as one of the victims, the Zhai Xing will use itself as an indestructible chain, to drag you down forever!"
"From now on, you will be eternally dragged into our world. If we cannot leave, don’t even think of escaping! In the absence of a final settlent—"
Hui Bai arched his eyebrows, revealing a slightly sickly yet sohow relieved smile:
"...let us sweetly reincarnate together forever."
"You shall live eternally, and so shall we."
...
In the last ten minutes of the falling Destructive Snow, humanity held a brief and effective vote.
The Eleventh-ranked Player used the "Simulation Screen" skill, allowing everyone to press the buttons in front of them to vote.
The green button represented their agreent to enter the small world.
The red button ant they would remain here, staying in reality.
The white numbers kept jumping, and within just one minute, the result was out.
Votes in favor: 712,892,781. Votes against: 229,102,913. Abstention was considered as agreent.
The next mont, a torrent of white began to appear.
At first, it was scattered points, then it beca hundreds and thousands, the collective consciousness flowing like a reverse waterfall.
After about one hundred million people had already stepped into the small world, on the other side, Xiao Na suppressed the anger of being deceived and spoke calmly:
"Wait."
"We don’t have to go down this mutually destructive path, humans."
Hui Bai’s lips curled into a smile.
—The Prisoner’s Dilemma.
If one side yields first, the other will gain greater benefits.
If neither side yields, it will result in mutual destruction.
Clearly, Xiao Na could not accept such an outco.
"Alright, let’s talk then." Hui Bai wiped the blood from his lip and chuckled lightly.
After the discussion, both parties reached an agreent.
"Dang—!"
When Su Ming’an struck the last note, from the turbulent waters, he saw the words turn into the final record:
...
[As early as the year AD 2020, when the World Ga descended upon Zhai Xing, Zhai Xing was already dood. In its final monts, faced with collective annihilation, humanity chose, through the research of the Arctic-extracted information, to abandon their physical bodies and beco a collective consciousness, pausing at the last mont, placing Zhai Xing in a Schrodinger’s state of destruction.]
[After negotiations with Xiao Na, a peace plan was ford between both parties:]
[The one hundred million people who had already entered the small world, along with the data of the top ten players carried by Number One Player Hui Bai using "Soul Ferry," would separate from Zhai Xing to evolve independently according to Hui Bai’s original plan.]
[This small world was later renad "Luowasha."]
[Rank 5, Blake, blonde and golden-eyed, later took the alias "Ian," becoming one of the major pillars of the small world — "Dragon Emperor Ian."]
[Rank 6, Edith, a wraith occupation player, later took the alias "Xi Ting," becoming a major pillar of the small world — "Lord of the Undead, Xi Ting."]
[Rank 8, Ran Bo, a genius scientist, later beca "Central Research City Doctor, Ran Bo."]
[Rank 9, and Rank 10... Took on aliases "Perlo" and "Magi" respectively, becoming "Demon Clan Master" and "Half-demon Elder."]
[The Fifth Thrones Starfire, which provided assistance, also placed one of its clones with the sa color hair and eyes in the small world, nad "Huan Jiala," who later beca "Elf King Huan Jiala."]
[The Second Thrones Sique Olivius, who paid the price and reincarnated as an ordinary person, was born in the small world during the Second Epoch, but that’s another story.]
[As for those who had not entered the small world, they continued to play the ga.]
[Yes, continued to play the ga.]
[This was the price Xiao Na was willing to pay to avoid mutual destruction — it would grant humanity one billion chances.]
[Within a billion tries, if humanity could complete the creation of the "Book of the Universe," it would forgive all debts and set them free. If they failed to succeed by a billion tries, humanity would revert to their original fate — collective annihilation.]
[This was the final decision left on the negotiation table between humanity and the World Ga after a reasoned argunt.]
[—While what Su Ming’an was familiar with was the 4,327,030,031st ti.]
[It should be noted that even though the World Ga is constantly reincarnating, the universe’s ti does not pause. Only the life and objects related to the World Ga and the concept of it have an accelerated perception of ti.]
[The first cycle of the World Ga began on November 21, AD 2020.]
[And with each completed cycle of the World Ga, approximately 0.28 seconds of outside ti would pass.]
[After 4,327,030,031 cycles, the universe’s ti elapsed about 0.28 seconds * 4,327,030,031 tis = 118,516,488 seconds.]
[Converted to years, the formula is: 118,516,488 seconds ÷ 3600 seconds ÷ 24 hours ÷ 365 days = 3.75 years.]
[3.75 years = 3 years and 9 months.]
[From November 2020, adding 3 years and 9 months, it would be approximately—]
[...]
[—September 2024.]
[...]
[Hence, the 4,327,030,031st World Ga—]
...
[—Began on September 30, AD 2024.]
...
...
["—The current ti is 3 o’clock in the afternoon, September 30, AD 2024. Three hours ago, the new personal newbie dungeons of the World Ga officially began!" A rabbit smiled brightly:]
["The participants are the ten billion human races from Zhai Xing! Congratulations to those of you who have been selected, you now have the opportunity to change your destiny! Beco participants in the ga and travelers across various worlds!"]
...
—"Ten billion human races of Zhai Xing."
Then, where is the one billion "non-human race"?
...
—In Luowasha.
...
["—Next, announce the exact situation of the newbie quests for all players!" The rabbit was not at all concerned with the chaos below:]
[The first newbie quest relies solely on individual physical abilities and innate combat! Participants — 1,114,279,878!]
...
—1,114,279,878.
...
...
Bang.
The gunshot of the first act.
In the final act, the gun, fired.
