Chapter 158 The Lock of Heaven

Calmly, Fang Yue didn't act rashly. Instead, he lowered his head slightly and asked, "Senior Mei Yu, I don't understand your words. What is a Breaker?"

Mei Yu Fairy didn't answer directly. Instead, she chuckled and asked, "Little guy, you should know about us Cheaters since you're here, right?"

"I don't know much. The only thing I'm sure of is that the Cheaters are the internal testers of the last *Azure Sea* game."

"That's right. We Cheaters are all players from the *Azure Sea* internal test. When the internal test ended, all of us internal test players became Cheaters and gained the power of Cheaters."

Saying that, Mei Yu Fairy suddenly extended her index finger and gently tapped the void.

*Drip.*

The next moment, ripples spread out from her fingertip as the center, covering the entire Cheater base.

Everything around was immediately covered with a layer of light blue jelly-like film, forming a special isolation barrier, while those people were completely unaware.

"The following topic is private content between us 'players'."

Looking at Fang Yue's confused expression, Mei Yu Fairy winked playfully and rested her index finger on her red lips, and laughed softly.

"After we became Cheaters, the ability we gained was Cheating Heavenly Secrets. The specific explanation may be a bit complicated. In short, we can make a certain existence unable to perceive people like us. And the way is..."

"Hibernation."

Fang Yue continued her words, earning Mei Yu Fairy's slightly approving gaze.

"That's right, it's hibernation. Through hibernation and Cheating Heavenly Secrets, we prevent that existence from perceiving us, buying necessary time for all mankind.

This is a full-scale war concerning the survival of all mankind. Although we Cheaters are very strong, facing such a situation, our strength alone is far from enough.

Moreover, our existence is too conspicuous. Every move we make will rapidly raise the Guidu Line, advancing the day of Tian Shi's (Heavenly Devour) arrival indefinitely. Therefore, hibernation is necessary, but correspondingly, we must also prepare countermeasures to deal with Tian Shi.

This countermeasure is to buy time until *Azure Sea* is successfully launched for public beta.

A global and national public beta will allow more people to join, to cultivate the next generation of players, to let people use their own strength to protect their world, and to jointly fight against this catastrophe of all mankind.

And the players in the public beta are called Breakers. The moment the public beta ends, you players will gain the power of the Breakers. As the number one player, you will naturally become, like me... the King of Breakers!"

Cheating Heavenly Secrets, King of Breakers...

The amount of information was too much. Fang Yue paused for a while before slowly asking, "Then what is the ability of the Breakers? Is it simply the same as you, just gaining the power from the game?"

Mei Yu Fairy smiled slightly.

"Well, I don't know. Although *Azure Sea* is operated by Tengli Group, a shell company of our Cheater organization, in reality, we are just agents, using existing technology to create a decent shell. What truly connects the two worlds and allows us to gain power is..."

"The System!"

"The System!"

Fang Yue and Mei Yu Fairy spoke almost at the same time.

Immediately, she looked at Fang Yue in surprise.

"It seems you know quite a bit."

"I just have a faint feeling..."

Fang Yue clenched his fists, "Then what is the purpose of the System? Is it simply to save us humans? What is the true form of the System? And what exactly are you Cheaters' Cheating Heavenly Secrets hiding from?"

Mei Yu Fairy covered her mouth and chuckled, "You're really impatient, asking so many questions at once. However, some of these questions, even I can't answer. And if you want to know information about this level, you must first answer one of my questions."

"Go ahead."

Mei Yu Fairy composed herself, looked at Fang Yue seriously, and slowly asked, "Have you, become an immortal?"

"..."

Fang Yue's body stiffened, and his expression turned awkward.

"It seems not... If you are the number one player in the game, does that mean the others are also..."

"...Yes."

"Oh..." Mei Yu Fairy sighed, "We were too hasty, giving too little time. But this is the last bit of time that we Cheaters can fight for. Tian Shi is approaching every moment, but we never noticed it before. When we realized it, everything was unstoppable, and we could only keep delaying. And now, it's the limit... We are about to face this catastrophe concerning the survival of mankind!"

Through the conversation, Fang Yue understood that Mei Yu Fairy was truly working hard for the survival of all mankind, and all her layouts were for the survival of all mankind.

Unfortunately, if even she, an immortal, cannot solve that huge problem, then he is powerless.

Seemingly disappointed, Mei Yu Fairy's mood dropped slightly.

"Since even you, the King of Breakers, haven't achieved immortality, then there's no need to discuss many things with you. The more you know, the less safe you become."

Those words were a bit hurtful, but unfortunately, they were true.

Although Fang Yue had worked hard to improve his strength, not to mention the immortal level, he hadn't even truly reached the Rain level yet.

Seeing that Mei Yu Fairy was about to dispel the barrier in disappointment, Fang Yue quickly said, "Wait! Senior Mei Yu, I still have some questions to ask you."

Mei Yu Fairy raised her hand and gently lowered it.

"Speak."

Fang Yue actually had many questions he wanted to ask Mei Yu Fairy.

Close at hand were questions about how to cross the different-world passage with his physical body. Further away was how to save the desperate capital city.

But at this moment, what he wanted to ask the most was...

"Senior Mei Yu, I want to know... what is the Lock of Heaven?"

"What?!"

Almost the moment Fang Yue finished speaking, Mei Yu Fairy was stunned on the spot. It was as if some unbelievable words had popped out of Fang Yue's mouth, leaving her somewhat taken aback.

"How do you know about the existence of the Lock of Heaven?"

"I learned about it by chance. Then, because I uttered these three words, the System detected my account as abnormal and I couldn't log in to the game anymore."

Fang Yue didn't mention that he had once relied on Time Retrospection to eliminate the influence of the Lock of Heaven, nor did he mention the Wanfa Immortal.

After all, the known Cheaters were all from Mei Yu Fairy's faction. Who knows what relationship she had with the Wanfa Immortal.

If their relationship was bad, he would be in trouble.

"By chance..."

Mei Yu Fairy had now regained her composure, composed herself, and looked at Fang Yue meaningfully.

"If someone else asked about this, I wouldn't pay attention to it at all. But since you are the next leader of the players, the King of Breakers, you are indeed qualified to know about this. It's okay to tell you now. After all, after Tian Shi, it's unknown whether we Cheaters can survive. Some things should indeed be passed on to the next generation."
