This story did not have many turning points. The original string of data had a very low sense of existence in the original story. Although he had indeed been one of the main players in the protagonist gong’s team, most of the time he was quiet and a little gloomy, and few people noticed him. Besides remembering that his skills weren’t bad, the others probably could not recall anything else, and nobody cared overmuch when he disappeared from the game.
After all, this was a game. There were too many people who have left and disappeared. If there was nobody who cared about you, even if you went AFK for eight or ten years, nobody would notice.

Xue Ling roughly understood the plot – it would be easier to change the protagonists’ fate this time as their story had always depended on their high luck, up until the point where they finally became true existences in the game world and basically achieved eternal life.
The game’s story was based on the youth who appeared in the opening chapter and prologue. The youth from back then now ruled over half the continent and could single handedly destroy the Divine Land. But, in order to make the gods suffer, he chose another way – polluting the land that the gods attached great importance to.
The name of the Venerable Sealed Devil was a name that could make crying children quiet at night in the land of Jiuzhou. His prestige made people on the righteous path’s teeth itch while those on the devil’s path trembled in fear, because he was a genuine madman.
A created devil and a crazy devil were only one word apart.
It was impossible to reason with a person who could single handedly destroy the entire Jiuzhou continent. After all, in his eyes, the entire world was a game that belonged to him; as long as he wanted, he could destroy these ordinary beings with one hand. He was the game’s biggest boss, and he was a boss that could not be killed no matter what.
As the protagonists followed the game’s plotline, they would come to learn more about the boss’ life, and during the course of learning about him, would choose to stand on the boss’ side and fall into the devil’s path. In the final battle between the righteous and devil’s factions, they would become opponents against the players who had come to kill the boss. They would ultimately achieve a victory, and His Majesty the Devil King would make them into true devils.
It was only then that the two protagonists realized that this world was not just a simple game. The longer they stayed here, the more they became assimilated into the world, eventually becoming a true member of the world. At the same time, in the real world outside of the game, the whole galaxy had collapsed and their reality no longer existed, leaving only the game.

As an original inhabitant of the game, the string of data was clearly a big golden finger, but it had been eliminated by the human-controlled main computer because it had been exposed too early.
Towards the end of the game’s storyline, it was no longer merely a game between players, but a battle between the main computer and the Sealed Devil. The main computer, as a creation under human control, was the leader of the immortal cultivators and aimed to kill the Sealed Devil. But, the Devil was not so easy to deal with, and even at the end of the story when the two protagonists were living happily together, the Sealed Devil was still existing and living well.
The main storyline of the game had to be done, but it could not be done by the protagonists alone.
Based on to Xue Ling’s understanding, this was still a love story, and the game’s storyline was secondary. If that was the case, then what Xue Ling needed to was to prevent the two of them from falling in love, and then prevent them from winning the battle and turning into devils.

Yes, cultivating the devil’s path and becoming a devil were two different concepts, just like how cultivating the immortal’s path and becoming an immortal were also different.
Now that he had an approximate plan, the only thing left was to wait.
Xue Ling joined the game as soon as it started. Although he was not used to life as a string of data, he wasn’t picky as he at least had a body. Anything that data could achieve, the system could also do, and could get it done more covertly. Even if it was better not to go against the main computer as it was related to the will of the world, the system could still help Xue Ling make some minor modifications.
The system believed that with how intrepid its host was, he would have no problem squeezing the protagonist gong out of the player rankings by himself.
In order to ensure that there would be no problems with his identity, Xue Ling also followed the proper process and registered an account with the system’s guidance.
He skipped past the grand opening scene, and directly went to create his character.
Right from the start, there were only two options for race in Seal the Devil: the human race and the demon race. Each race had different professions, and could chose different factions. Later on in the game, there were chances to obtain more specialized professions.
The human race was the most well suited for cultivation. They were clever and skilful, and had their own opinions on many things. Even the battle between immortals could not cause them to go extinct, showing that they were tough. The demon race was different. Their character selection required some luck. If they were a demon from a powerful clan, such as the wolf or tiger clan, it would be easier for them to play in the future, but it might not be the same for other clans.
Both the demon and human race could choose between the righteous or the devil’s path. This was probably the two factions available in the game, and although the lines between the two factions were not obvious at the beginning of the game, the difference between the two groups became very big in the later stages.
Xue Ling currently only had information on the protagonists and their people. In order to make sure the will of the world would not perceive any anomaly, he followed the string of data’s original choice and chose the demon race. He then thought about it, and downgraded his appearance somewhat to make himself less astonishingly gorgeous before clicking accept and entering the game.

At the same time, countless people were also registering for the game through the game’s reception platform. Because the technology was powerful, the server did not freeze even when tens of thousands of players flooded into the same server. Magically, everything still functioned normally.
Yes, this game’s design was very strange. There were no national boundaries. Regardless of where one was in real life, they would all land in the Jiuzhou continent. The continent was divided into nine territories, which were ruled together by both human and demon race leaders. Each character’s birthplace was random, and there were many teleportation arrays between the nine territories that made it easy for players to go anywhere, anytime they wanted.
But in fact, these maps did not encompass the whole of the Jiuzhou continent. Jiuzhou was divided into three planes. Above them, there was the Divine Realm, and below, there was the Demon Realm as well as the hidden and mysterious Devil’s Realm.
