Looking at the impenetrable forest, Bince was filled with regret.
Regret for his recklessness;
And even more regret for his arrogance and overconfidence!
Ever since he came into contact with magic and battle qi on the internet, his confidence had been constantly expanding.
Meditation made his focus and observation skills increasingly sharp;
Battle qi gave him more profound stamina and explosive power;
The moves "Ice Blade" and "Ice Fist" learned from internet courses allowed him to hunt wild beasts even with his bare hands.
All of this made him increasingly bold and increasingly conceited.
He gathered the village youths, climbed trees for birds' nests, fished in streams, and flew hawks to chase dogs.
At first, they only hunted rabbits and birds nearby, practicing their magic and movement techniques.
As their success rate grew, they were no longer satisfied with these small prey and began to set their sights on the deep forest.
Initially, their harvests were not great, but as they summarized their experiences, especially through discussion and sharing with like-minded individuals on the internet, Bince and his companions' success rate soared.
They even successfully hunted a black bear, causing a stir in the village.
The villagers were tough by nature, and stimulated by the prey, the village naturally no longer restrained them.
Who could have imagined that an accident would occur when they were most confident?
Perhaps because winter was approaching, animals that could hibernate began to do so, and those that couldn't began to move towards the warmer depths of the forest.
Bince and his companions had been out all day today without any worthwhile prey, which made them feel somewhat unwilling to give up.
Therefore, when they saw an elk, they naturally chased after it frantically, overjoyed.
Only after they killed it did they realize they were lost.
They had entered the depths of the forest where even the village's old hunters had never set foot!
As night fell, the faint howls of beasts in the forest finally awakened the fear rooted deep in their souls.
But it was too late.
Even though they had the internet and could contact the village at any time, it was useless.
There were no landmarks, it was pitch-black, and there were dense trees everywhere. They didn't even dare to turn on the internet's lighting function, fearing they would attract even more ferocious magical beasts.
Some of them even spoke with a trembling voice.
"Bince, do you think we're going to die here?"
Amidst another faint howl of a beast, a trembling youth asked, hoping to get a little bit of insignificant confidence from Bince.
"No, we won't die."
"But how do we get out of here?"
"It's all your fault, insisting on chasing that elk."
The fearful, complaining, and despairing voices of his companions made Bince feel increasingly self-reproachful and panicked.
Just then, a voice call request sounded deep within his soul.
He subconsciously opened the internet and saw that Grandpa Hal had sent a voice message: "Bince, climb to the treetop and look around! See where there is light!"
Bince was startled, then gritted his teeth and climbed the nearest large tree.
He quickly reached the treetop. The slender, swaying branches made his figure sway with them. He looked around and quickly saw a faintly glowing presence in a continuous black line.
"I see light!"
"That's the village. Don't delay, hurry! We can't hold on for too long."
"Got it."
Bince didn't dare to ask more. He jumped down from the tree, called out, and led his companions to sprint frantically towards the light.
The mountain path was rugged, requiring them to detour, jump over streams, and circle around frequently.
Bince could only climb trees from time to time to look towards the light source and confirm their direction.
Slowly, the roars of the beasts grew quieter, and the surrounding scenery gradually became familiar.
They finally found the way home.
When they rushed out of the forest, they saw the village lit up from a distance,
Like a sun, radiating warm light in the darkness.
As they approached, Bince's eyes suddenly blurred.
He saw countless villagers, old and young, some clinging to treetops, some standing on rooftops, all doing one thing: turning on the lighting function of the internet.
Countless rays of light formed a light burst, illuminating their way home.
"Great, Bince and the others are back!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
The villagers cheered. Many, due to supporting the lighting function for a long time, ran out of soul power and instantly fainted.
Some women, after seeing their children safe, were so excited they alternately hit and scolded them.
After scolding them, they suddenly knelt on the ground and offered devout thanks to the unseen Internet God!
Old farmer Hal looked at the chaotic scene before him and couldn't help but wipe the corner of his eye.
If there had been the internet when he was young, would his brother have lived until now?
Old farmer Hal didn't know, but he knew that life had truly gotten better.
Thank you, Lord Ajev!
Thank you, Internet God!
...
Yu Shengan, who was spending the night on the border of the Kveil Empire, looked at the villagers who had escaped disaster through his divine perspective and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He hadn't expected that casually deciding to observe the old farmer he had encountered by chance would lead to such a scene.
This suddenly gave him a wild idea—if his internet had a map and location function, would everyone's lives be even more convenient?
This was certainly true.
Thinking deeper, if he could really develop this function, it would not only benefit the people's livelihood but also be beneficial for the development of military power.
Thinking of this, Yu Shengan felt a faint excitement.
However, when he thought deeply about how to implement this function, his head suddenly started to hurt again.
It was too difficult!
How could I, a god in charge of language and text, create a map? How could I do location tracking?
I haven't even sorted out the image function properly yet, okay?
Yu Shengan scratched his head, pondering that he should take the opportunity to investigate which gods existed in this world and which divine authorities could solve these technical problems.
If there was a chance, he would seize their divine authority.
Otherwise, with his poor academic level, relying on magic to solve it, who knows how long it would take!
Magic cultivation takes time.
A week later, the delegation finally arrived at Vieis, the earthly divine kingdom of the Goddess of Music, Avnorah.
This was a city built in a basin of the Lanlun Mountains.
Looking from afar, a structure that seemed to be pieced together from countless columns of varying lengths rose into the sky.
Strange energy ripples spread from the top of the building, encompassing the entire basin.
Yu Shengan pulled open the carriage window and looked at the city in the distance, his eyes revealing a strange light.
Since transmigrating here, this was the first time he had truly come into contact with the power of another divinity!
If magic was a science with discernible rules,
Then divinity was an unconstrained liberal art, a completely unreasonable, ruleless, and unspeakable power.
If Yu Shengan could build a vast internet system with a mere Contract Divinity, how mysterious was the Divinity of Music?
Was it really as rumored outside, that its power was very limited?
Yu Shengan felt a faint excitement.
The delegation stopped at the city gate. To Yu Shengan's surprise, a group of young women poured out of the city, surrounded the delegation, and began to dance gracefully.
As they danced, they sang melodious and pleasant songs. It seemed to be a welcome ceremony.
The dance and song ended.
Meg walked to the carriage with a smile and said to Yu Shengan, "Mr. Ajev, how about singing a song?"
"Huh?" Yu Shengan was stunned.
