[This story's setting: a future world with Western fantasy-style instances and a cybernetic society. Its theological logic follows some of the teachings of the Bible.]
Blurb:
In 1350 AD, Wei Tangye, who was obsessed with studying the occult, embedded an ancient stone tablet in an Icelandic rock face. A glimmer of fate led a young girl toward the future.
In 2350 AD, a mysterious game called "Medieval Revision Project" appeared in the real world, forcibly inviting half the world's population to log in.
Players gradually discovered that the Middle Ages in the game differed greatly from the records in history books--
Mysterious, uncanny dark creatures roamed the world. A rotting mermaid songstress sang a dirge for everyone who entered an instance. A princess clutching a bloody axe bared her sharp teeth. A magic potion gained sentience and staged a bloody scene of potions eating people...
Players who entered the game received only one mission:
Revise the history of the game. If they failed, the game's history would manifest in the real world, and the whole world would fall with it.

When Pu Bai, leader of the strongest gaming guild, held a dagger and couldn't bring himself to stab his corrupted younger sister, Pu Ying, to death,
An unfamiliar, clear female voice rang out above the dark statue of the Holy Mother.
A girl stood with the light behind her and laughed. "At last, a free soul has emerged!"
Pu Bai stared blankly as the glowing girl leaped down, placed her palm on Pu Ying's crimson forehead, and turned a stern gaze on her. "Purify."
The girl's arrival changed the fate of Pu Ying's corruption. Pu Bai could never have imagined that the owner of that voice saying "Purify" would one day become the nightmare of the dark creatures in the instances...
Wei Tangye, who was enjoying modern high-tech life, scratched her head. "Is it really that hard to deal with dark creatures?"
Pu Bai pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. "Well... it really is."

[Pre-release: "Bone Seeker"]
They say that people have three souls and three bones: the Earth Bone, the Heaven Bone, and the Soul Bone.
The three bones shape the body, determine its fate, and form its roots in heaven and earth.
If the Earth Bone shatters, the body is broken; if the Heaven Bone shatters, the feng shui shifts; if the Soul Bone shatters, the ancestral bloodline is severed, and after three rounds, one cannot return to one's family home.
Ordinary doctors can mend broken human bones, but few know that there is a kind of person who can replace broken bones in the living, set the feng shui of a clan, and find a way home for strangers.
These people call themselves Bone Seekers.
Chang Yihe spent the first half of her life avoiding the path of a Bone Seeker. But after the blind old woman who raised her died, she wanted to find the woman's bones and get to the bottom of things.
It was because the blind old woman had made a prediction before she died:
"Your Soul Bone is broken. In this life, you are destined to have no home."
Chang Yihe scoffed.
She wanted to know just how she was supposed to end up homeless in this life.

Theme: Only by breaking free of a dark past can we begin a bright future.
I vaguely remember that Gano and Mangora have different consciousnesses and the same body, but why do I dislike this Mangora? Xiaoman, you must know that the evil god who pretended to be the last one was beaten badly by Xiaoye [dog head]
PS: Although Trish is also very pretentious, Mangora looks more arrogant than Trish, so if you don't beat Mangora badly, it would be a mistake for him. Otherwise, Trish should follow him and beat him (save trouble, at most be gentle) [dog head]
It seems that Father White should be played by Pu Xiaobai. I didn't expect that, Pu Xiaobai, you also developed other businesses [dog head]
Hahaha, the evil god's tea party is as friendly as ever, tsk, and this double eaves is also very thoughtful, let God work for him (a black-hearted businessman)
PS: This is the last volume. Alas, I suddenly feel a little reluctant to leave it [shy]
Leave a paw, if you don't have anything to say, then show your heart to me [Compare your heart]
PS: Hehe, I really like that ancient Latin phrase [shy]
Hahahaha, I didn't expect that in the end, Ono and Feiyao became close friends [dog head]
PS: (Don't read the following Pu Bai, it's a bad comment [dog head]) But in other words, if Pu Xiaobai's body is as weak as before, ahem, is it Pu Xiaobai who is sitting next to Feiyao, the best friend of a brother in need?
Hey, the little couple is posting [dog head]
By the way, I thought Pu Xiaobai was very weak, but I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that real people can't be judged by their appearance.
Happy! Throw flowers! Will the next Zaizai be far behind?
Claw, come and see all my orders
It feels very complete. Ono's family members are doing well on the other side, but I quietly asked if Feiyao would be taken away by Natasha. I vaguely remember that Natasha likes to tease him [dog head]
Hahahaha, Trish was beaten by a group of people [Dog Head]. Unexpectedly, other evil gods were also secretly finishing their attacks. Hahaha, Trish, a god who is really disgusting to people.
I originally wanted to say that Tracy is not an evil god, how could he become a human being, but then I thought that Tracy's life was connected with Xiaoying, and it seemed to be almost the same. If Tracy is resurrected in the future, he will know that Xiaoying was born again (and also put a buff on him)
The process of pursuing perfection is the meaning of perfect existence. My wife told a wonderful story and gave the characters full vitality. I hope to meet them in other stories.
