When Tang Hao returned to Ayn Grant again, he saw that a large number of players were soaring.

That's right, it's Ascension.

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

In fact, a lot of things have really happened in the past half a year, from the initial panic and anxiety, to the gradual stabilization, it is difficult for players to think of Ayn Grant as a game, they survive and fight here, the too real environment has formed a small society here, and some people have even found a boyfriend and girlfriend, so that they can suddenly give up all this, it is very difficult.

However, most people still choose to leave because they have more reluctance to the real world.

Although after leaving this world, they are no longer strong people who can fly away, and they may not be able to come back in the future, but in the real world, they have their relatives and families, and they do not have to face the threat of death all the time...... In the final analysis, adventure is just a momentary passion, an extraordinary embellishment in life, and for the vast majority of people, a stable and stable life is what they pursue for a lifetime.

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

Of course, there are a small number of people who are still hesitant, and these people are actually people who have no concerns in the real world, such as Guliseltan. Her only relative in reality is her husband, although the marriage is quite happy, but the boring and ordinary housewife, so that her life is no passion, until she enters the game world, she finally found herself, living in adventure and battle, every day is very fulfilling.

If her husband was still alive, she would have given up her life for the sake of her family and returned to the real world, but her husband was killed during the initial invasion of the undead legion, and now she is truly alone, even if she returns to the real world, there is nothing to look forward to.

Moreover, the world here is not fake.

As one of the captains of the Thirteenth Team, she knows more truths than ordinary players, and here, she can also live as a real human being, and has more expectations than boring reality, so why go back to reality?

It's just that the real world can really be completely cut off?

Even if they were more inclined to live here, Guriseltan and the others were still a little hesitant.

Although these people are a minority, they are a large group together, they can't make a quick decision, after seeing Tang Hao's return, everyone is represented by Guriseltan and asks Tang Hao for advice.

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.

For this, even Akihiko Aoba can't give an answer, because his GM authority has long been lost, and the system of the game world has also transformed into an evolutionary tree after the complete integration of the two worlds, and now he is just an ordinary player, an ordinary person living in Aingrand, unable to figure out the intentions of the world.

"Yes."

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

This voice was heard for the first time, and when they looked for it, they saw that the huge sacred tree was gently shaking its branches and leaves.

"Yes...... The Sacred Tree is talking? Asuna looked surprised.

"The first time we met, I am the will of the world, this is the first time I am afraid and 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 came into everyone's ears, Tang Hao observed it, and found that the only people who noticed this voice were him, Kirito, Asuna, Yui and Kayaba Jinghiko.

Kirito and the others were suddenly confused, because it was the first time that they had come into contact with the will of the world so intuitively, but Tang Hao had already seen 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 all of you, because of your efforts, I am now here, in the confrontation of these three world wills, I was originally the weakest, and it is because of your existence that I can appear in such a posture and communicate with you."

Tang nodded secretly, to be exact, it was only right with him, if he only relied on the local players of Aingrant, it would be impossible to fight against the Great Tomb in half a year, so he gladly accepted this gratitude.

After this, it will be more face-saving to go out in the future, you see, even the will of the world has been helped by me.

"Secondly, although I have mastered the evolutionary direction of the world, the power of the sacred tree is limited, and only when trees raise people and people raise trees, can the power be endless, so it is not only for the development of Ayn Grant, but also for the return to you, I have specially opened two ports with my own authority......"

"First, keep the original ecosystem, the game login port is still valid, whether it is the player who leaves or other people, they can let their consciousness enter the Ayn Grant through the normal game side, but due to the change of the ecosystem, the original data of these players will be erased, and at the same time, the player's landing point is only limited to the area around the sacred tree."

"Second, this is my new reincarnation port, all players who want to stay in this world forever, I will use the holy tree as the foundation to keep their existing data, and let them merge with the physical body of another world, but in this way, they will not be able to return to the original world, their respective lives will also be connected with the holy tree, after death, the soul will return to the holy tree, and then be born from the holy tree, and if the holy tree withers, their souls will also die completely."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect the will of the world to make such an arrangement, after thinking about it carefully, Tang Hao found that the arrangement of the will of the world is still quite comprehensive, players who want to play games can still play games, and they can still keep in touch with Aingrant, although they have to start from scratch, and players who want to stay and live here can also be reincarnated here, and everyone has a choice.

"Yui."

"Uh...... I'm here. Hearing the Will of the World calling her name, Yui was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded.

"In order to maintain the evolution of Ayn Grant, after which I will fall into a deep sleep and will not be able to manifest for a long time in the future, will you be willing to manage these two ports for me?"

"Me? But why me? ”

"You are connected to the ecosystem of Ayn Grant, and you are the only one who can communicate with the Sacred Tree, and no one is more suitable than you, whether it is a game port or a reincarnation port, with the help of the Sacred Tree."

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

Yui was a little hesitant, although she was glad that she could come in handy, but the responsibility was a bit too great, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do it well, and she didn't know whether to accept it.

"It's okay, even if you can't, aren't there still us." Tang Hao knew what she was worried about, patted Yui's head, and said with a smile.

"I ...... I know, I'll do my best! ”

The Holy Hand of Gynecology is worthy of being the Holy Hand of Gynecology, and Yui, who was encouraged, quickly accepted the arrangement of the will of the world and nodded her head vigorously.

"From now on, then, you are the witch of the sacred tree."

As the words of the will of the world fell, an incomparably pure power sprinkled from the sky and poured into Yui's body, although the appearance did not change because of this, but the whole person's temperament suddenly became sacred, and even the surrounding players involuntarily cast their eyes on Yui.

"Ayn Grant will be handed over to you."

With these words, the voice of the will of the world disappeared, and the sacred tree gradually stopped swinging.

Subsequently, Tang Hao told the news to Guriseltan and others, these people originally planned to stay here, but because there were still some unfulfilled wishes in the real world, they hesitated, and now with such an opportunity, naturally there will be no more hesitation, and they immediately gathered around Yui and got busy.

Soon after, the players will leave one by one, some may leave permanently, some may come in and try, and some will bring their physical bodies with them after fulfilling their real-world wishes, and settle in Ayn Grant forever.

Tang Hao didn't know if these people would regret their current choice in the future, but in any case, this was their own choice of life.

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

But this question is basically meaningless, Akihiko Kayaba developed the game SAO, originally with the will to die, as early as the beginning of entering the game world, his body in the real world has died, for him, the choice has already been made.

As for Kirito and Asuna, both of them have also chosen the reincarnation mode.

Ordinary players, once reincarnated, can only settle in Ayn Grant permanently, but Kirito and Asuna have chat rooms, and for both of them, the limits of the world do not exist.

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

"Of course."

……

In a large hospital in Japan, on the bed in a luxury nursing ward, Asuna slowly opened her eyes, she was still wearing a game helmet on her head, and her body was a little sluggish after half a year of bed rest.

She tried to get up, but found that her body could not exert any strength, and then she realized that she had returned to her original body, and now she was neither an elf nor a goddess, just an ordinary human being, and the power of the past was not brought to this body.

Subconsciously, Asuna was a little panicked.

Now she's not Asuna, but Asuna Yuuki, and since Asuna's power has been lost, what about the chat room? Is the chat room still tied to you?

"You're awake."

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

Asuna immediately turned her head and saw Tang Hao sitting on the edge of the hospital bed smiling slightly.

"Great......"

Asuna's nervous mood instantly relaxed, she instinctively wanted to get up, but Tang Hao shook her head, pressed her body and said, "Don't worry, your body is still very weak now, you shouldn't move for the time being, I'll help you rub it later, so that your body can adapt as much as possible, but there is one more important thing......

Seeing Tang Hao's serious expression, Asuna became nervous again, "What...... What's important? ”

Tang Hao's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said in a deep voice: "Take a bath, you haven't taken a bath for more than half a year." ”

Asuna: "......"
