In the dead of night, the Arcade Hall stood illuminated by flickering neon signs that read "Game Center."
"This place..." Ao Tian glanced around, "is truly retro."
The entire Arcade Hall was filled with an eighties vibe, with various vintage arcade machines lined up neatly.
Su Wenxin scanned the surroundings. "The energy fluctuations are strong."
"They're coming," Qing Chen said.
The Tea House Owner emerged from the shadows, still holding the Game Controller.
But this time, his expression was unusually serious.
"Are you ready?"
The three nodded in unison.
The owner pressed a button on the Game Controller. "Then, let's begin."
Suddenly, all the neon lights went out. The space within the Arcade Hall began to twist and distort.
In the darkness, a massive arcade screen flickered to life.
The display read:
"Boss Fight: Heaven and Earth Conflict"
"Difficulty: Nightmare"
"Players: Three Fates on the Same Path"
Then, that familiar shadow appeared.
But this time, it revealed its true form: a colossal entity composed of chaotic data.
"At last..." its voice was filled with distortion, "I have waited for this moment."
The Tea House Owner sighed, "You've become even more insane than I imagined."
"Insane?" The shadow laughed heartily. "I just want everything to return to chaos!"
The space trembled violently. The walls of the Arcade Hall began to crumble, revealing... nothingness behind them.
"That is..." Su Wenxin quickly analyzed, "The rules of the world are disintegrating!"
"Stop it!" the Tea House Owner shouted.
The three acted simultaneously.
This time, their cooperation was seamless. The power of the artifacts merged perfectly.
Ao Tian's sword energy sliced through the void. Su Wenxin's Mirror Gleam illuminated the chaos. Qing Chen's formation stabilized the rules.
【Ding】
System Prompt: 【Final Battle begins】
【Special mode activated】
【Key Mapping fully opened】
All the arcade machines in the Arcade Hall suddenly lit up.
"I understand!" Ao Tian shouted. "Follow me!"
He dashed toward the nearest arcade machine, transforming a key into a Game Controller and inserting it.
Su Wenxin and Qing Chen immediately grasped the situation.
The three connected to different arcade machines. Energy began to flow between them.
"An interesting idea," the Shadow said, "but useless!"
It launched its attack.
Chaotic Energy surged like a tidal wave.
This time, however, the three were prepared.
The Arcade Hall transformed into a massive energy net.
Each arcade machine became a node.
The Three Divine Artifacts formed the core.
"Now!" the Tea House Owner shouted.
The three pressed the buttons simultaneously.
Energy erupted!
Light shot up into the sky.
The Shadow roared, "No!"
But it was too late.
The glow from the machines wove into a gigantic Data Web, completely enveloping the chaotic entity.
"It’s time to end this," the Tea House Owner said.
He raised the Game Controller and pressed the final button.
"Purification begins."
The Shadow struggled in the light, "Do you think this is the end?"
"No," Qing Chen replied.
"This is just..." Su Wenxin began.
"Begin!" Ao Tian shouted.
The power of the Three Divine Artifacts reached its peak.
In the light, the three saw the initial scene: the unfinished ritual.
But this time, they would complete it.
Not a seal.
But a rebirth.
The dark shadow gradually dissipated in the light.
Chaos was purified.
The rules were reorganized.
When everything settled, the Arcade Hall returned to normal.
Only, all the game machine screens displayed:
"Game Clear"
"Perfect Win"
"Thank You For Playing"
The Tea House Owner smiled, "Well done."
"So..." Ao Tian panted, "Is it over?"
"In this game, yes," the owner replied, "but a new one has just begun."
His figure began to fade into transparency.
"Wait!" Su Wenxin exclaimed, "Where are you going?"
"Back," the owner said, "to merge again with that part of me that was purified."
"What about us..." Qing Chen asked.
"Continue living," the owner chuckled, "and come by for tea occasionally."
"Is the teahouse still open?"
"Of course," the owner replied. "After all, every game needs a save point."
With that, he vanished.
In the corner of the Arcade Hall, a special game machine had appeared.
The screen displayed:
"Three Fates on the Same Path"
"New Game +"
"Press Start To Continue"
The three exchanged smiles.
[Ding]
[System Prompt]: The game has been saved.
[Can be accessed at any time]
[Welcome back to play again]
Ao Tian stretched lazily. "I'm hungry."
Su Wenxin checked the time. "At this hour... only the teahouse is still open, right?"
Qing Chen said, "Let's go."
Under the moonlight, the three left the Arcade Hall.
Behind them, the neon sign continued to flicker.
But now, its name had changed to:
"Three Lives, One Path Game Center."
[The End]
