Chapter 544: The End of Version 4.0
Hua Yu's question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples in the live stream.
The barrage of comments that were initially celebrating Hua Yu's "scraping and clearing the level" suddenly changed direction after a brief hesitation.
"Wait a minute! Now that Sister Huayu said that, I suddenly feel like something's not right either!"
"What's wrong? Fei Ying just woke up and is not in a good state. Isn't it normal for her to mistake the little fox for Tao Yao? It's just a hallucination."
"Is the person upstairs new here? In 'Fairy Journey,' although Sakura is a bit silly, her intuition is very accurate!"
"That's right! And didn't you guys notice? That shot just now was Tao Yao's first-person perspective! Fei Ying saw Tao Yao's face! That's definitely a hint!"
"No way...you guys are really getting ahead of yourselves! How could Tao Yao be that fox? Their personalities are worlds apart! Besides, they've been in the same frame before!"
"What's wrong with appearing in the same frame? Can't it be a clone? Can't it be a disguise? The planner can write whatever they want, what's it to you?"
The live stream chat instantly split into two distinct camps.
One group consists of staunch supporters of the "illusion theory," who believe that this is merely a sentimental scene designed by the game to express Hiyori's longing for Momo and should not be over-interpreted.
The other side consists of bold proponents of the "identity theory," who firmly believe that every detail in the game is not arbitrary, and that this fleeting glimpse of "Tao Yao's perspective" must be hiding a shocking secret.
The two sides argued fiercely in the comment section, each sticking to their own version of events.
As someone who had just been "betrayed" by the plot, Sakura Fubuki couldn't help but speak up after seeing this scene.
"It's probably just a misperception."
She pursed her lips, and a hint of disdain reappeared on her face, which had just calmed down.
"Tao Yao and that little fox have been in the same frame before, how could they be the same person? The planner must be out of their mind to write the plot like this."
Her viewpoint was very clear; she was entirely on the side of "illusionism."
After all, for a top-tier player like her who pursues logic and rationality, being told that two independent characters who have clearly appeared in the story are the same person is simply a challenge to her understanding of the game.
However, Hua Yu, who was standing to the side, offered a different perspective.
"But it's not entirely impossible."
Hua Yu gently tapped her chin with her fingertips, her beautiful eyes sparkling with contemplation.
"Think about it, if this were really just a meaningless illusion, then the production team would have no reason to give Tao Yao a first-person close-up here."
“In the game’s storyline, every special visual element is often meant to convey some hidden message.”
Huayu's analysis caused Sakura Fubuki, who had been so self-assured, to pause slightly.
"Xiaoxue, don't rush to conclusions."
Hua Yu said softly, "Let's continue the story and see if there are any other clues later."
"Ok."
Although Sakura Fubuki still didn't quite agree, she couldn't find any strong points to refute Hana's analysis, so she could only mutter a response and continue to control her character and advance the main storyline.
As the story unfolds, the main characters in the game soon learn from the little fox that Tao Yao has temporarily left the temple because she has important matters to attend to.
This news brought a sigh of relief to the fairies who had just suffered a crushing defeat, but also made them even more confused.
Where did Tao Yao go?
Just as the main characters were resting in the temple, at their wits' end, the game's camera suddenly shifted.
When Tao Yao reappeared on screen, all the viewers watching the live stream couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Tao Yao's magnificent palace robes were now speckled with dust, and her once composed and elegant steps now seemed somewhat hurried.
And what she was holding in her arms was a figure that had completely fallen into a coma.
Eternal Fairy.
So it turns out, the end and eternity.
These two ancient fairies, with diametrically opposed stances, engaged in a fateful duel without any interference from others.
Ultimately, Eternity was severely injured, while End disappeared without a trace.
Upon seeing this, everyone—from the cherry blossom snow and flower rain to all the viewers in the live stream—fell silent.
No one expected that this would happen when the main characters were besieging Tao Yao.
The End and Eternity actually started fighting.
This was unexpected, yet also reasonable.
In the game, Tao Yao brought the unconscious Eternal Fairy back to her room deep inside the temple, carefully settled her on the bed, and began to heal her wounds.
After doing all this, she returned to the main hall and faced the group of fairy protagonists with complicated expressions.
The main storyline of version 4.0 also comes to an end here.
After a heated exchange.
Tao Yao did not expel these children who had "offended" her, but instead allowed them to remain in the Origin God Kingdom.
As the words "[Version 4.0 Main Story - Complete]" slowly appeared on the screen, Hua Yu gently exhaled and spoke into the microphone.
"Alright, that should be the end of the main storyline for this version."
Her voice eased the oppressive atmosphere in the live stream considerably.
"If nothing unexpected happens, all the minor updates after 4.0 should revolve around this Primordial God Kingdom. There are many details and foreshadowing hidden in this new map, and a lot of information. I will make a special video later to take you all to explore it in detail."
"For the rest of today's live stream, let Xiaoxue guide everyone through some side quests and let us explore this new map."
Hua Yu had a clear and organized plan for the subsequent live stream content.
However, Sakura Fubuki, who had just recovered from the main storyline, seemed to suddenly remember something, and her eyes lit up.
"Xiaoyu, what's up?"
Her voice carried an undisguised excitement and anticipation.
"When we were doing the main quest, wasn't there a treasure chest in Tao Yao's room?"
"You mean that treasure chest... can we open it now?"
Cherry Blossom's question instantly enlightened all the viewers.
indeed.
In the brief cutscene before, when Tao Yao carried the Eternal Fairy back to her room, there was indeed a large, rather ornate treasure chest emitting a faint glow in the corner of the screen.
At the time, everyone's attention was drawn to the severely injured Eternal Fairy and the oppressive plot, and very few people noticed that detail.
Now that the main storyline has ended and the Divine Kingdom map is officially open to players, Sakura Fubuki's treasure-hunting heart, as a veteran player who would seize any opportunity to find something of value, has naturally become active again.
That's a treasure chest in the god's room!
What good stuff is hidden inside?
Thinking of this, Sakura Fubuki felt a surge of excitement, as if she could already see countless rare materials and limited-edition items beckoning to her.
"You can try."
Hua Yu couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at her greedy expression and replied.
Having received permission, Cherry Blossom Blizzard immediately perked up.
Her frustration at not being able to defeat the boss, and the oppression brought on by the plot, were completely dispelled at this moment by her desire for the treasure chest.
"Hey, look at me!"
She let out a smug laugh and, controlling her game character with practiced ease, ran towards Tao Yao's room deep within the temple.
Those light steps were filled with longing for the wealth to come.
Soon, she arrived at the tightly closed, simple yet exquisite door.
Sakura Fubuki took a deep breath and, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream, solemnly moved the cursor and clicked the interaction button.
However, the expected scene of opening the door, entering, and then opening the treasure chest did not appear.
A cold, emotionless system notification popped up abruptly in the center of the screen.
This is the temporary residence for the Eternal Fairy.
[The door is protected by an original barrier, preventing entry.]
