Continuations to the game's storyline were undoubtedly going to be based on "The Duel."
This did not mean that all the prior quests had been meaningless. They had been instrumental in fulfilling all the necessary conditions that allowed for this. Players were rewarded with an overpowering sense of achievement, knowing that they had brought the game this far!
After all, players who chose the path of Yan Qingmeng were not able to completely enter the heart of the Jane Doe Su. Of course they would never learn of her secret. They had also lost the opportunity to choose a side. Hence, they could only stand on deity Yan and the Zhao King's side...
Zha Feng was simply too cunning. From the very beginning, he had already cast out a huge net. If the players did not take the initiative to explore the storyline in-depth, there was a 90% chance that they would end up following Yan Qingmeng, without even being aware that there were other routes!
