Chapter 49 Two Choices: The Forty-Ninth Day of Making a Game

Chaos is the home of the Chaos Beasts, from which they were born, and Chaos is the foundation upon which they establish their Dao.

Now that Pangu is about to split this chaos, re-establish the primordial world, and prove a new Great Dao, this undoubtedly severs the path of these primordial beasts.

The struggle for the Great Dao was inevitable. When Pangu emerged from the lotus, the previously dormant chaotic beasts pounced on him, revealing their ferocious faces.

But Pangu had no time to pay attention to them, because the infamous Chaos Gods from the deeper depths of chaos also cast their cold gazes upon them.

Faced with Pangu, who was responsible for creating the world, even the Chaos Gods who had a mortal feud with him in the past had no choice but to join forces to fight against him.

Pangu raised his giant axe and engaged in a fierce battle with the primordial spirit of this chaotic world.

One man fought against three thousand; wherever his giant axe struck, rivers of blood flowed and cries of agony filled the land.

But when Pangu was fully engaged in this fierce battle, he had no time to care about the mindless, chaotic beasts at his feet.

These ferocious beasts swarmed forward, covering the enormous Creation Lotus, like insects trying to tear it apart and devour it.

Seeing the incomparably sacred Primordial Lotus being devoured and harmed by a group of mindless chaotic beasts, Laozi, who had some connection with the Lotus, wished he could immediately restore his cultivation and drive these beasts away.

Unfortunately, my current body is only level five, and I couldn't withstand the horde of ferocious beasts for long before being sent back to the resurrection point.

Fortunately, under the protection of the Five Elements, both Lotus and Lao Tzu were unharmed.

He could only watch as the great god Pangu fought fiercely against the demon god, while he himself could only watch helplessly, powerless to retaliate.

Lao Tzu seemed to hear the Father God's cheerful "Come on together!" again, but how could he possibly join the fray?

"Preacher, you seem to be in trouble." The original voice rang out again.

As a novice preacher, your excellence has earned the recognition of Pangu, and you deserve a reward.

As soon as he finished speaking, two objects appeared in the Five Elements Origin.

One of them was a card with a glittering gold design. The Dao Ancestor, sitting cross-legged in the Purple Cloud Palace, had opened his eyes, with the Three Thousand Great Daos resembling stars behind him.

It is a Saint-level card: Hongjun [Heavenly Balance] (free for a limited time).

The smaller print below indicates the skills that this card can provide.

[Heavenly Balance]: When Dao Ancestor Hongjun is present, the opponent's level will be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and reduced to the same level as the current character level of Hongjun's summoner.

The other item was a mysterious summoning circle, inscribed with "[Three Thousand Great Daos]" and marked "[Free 10-Pull]" below. At the bottom was a smaller line of text: "[Guaranteed character card in 10-pull for beginners.]"

Both are suspended in the air, but you can only choose one.

One is a confirmed Saint-level card, the Primordial Dao Ancestor. The other is a mysterious magic array with an uncertain future.

For most people, there is no need to think about it at all.

Gonggong, one of the twelve ancestral witches, had long been fed up with being oppressed by these ferocious beasts. He finally managed to patiently condense the five elements and meet the revered Father God.

Before he could even exchange a few words with his father, the father was already engaged in a fierce battle with the Chaos Demon God. He was already seething with anger, but naturally he couldn't vent it on his father.

At this moment, these chaotic beasts tried to take advantage of the Father God's inattention to launch a sneak attack, which was truly despicable and shameless, making him furious.

Unfortunately, my current body is too fragile. I get bitten by the ferocious beast on the other side and have to revive, which wastes a lot of time.

Upon seeing the card art for "Balance of Heaven," Gonggong's eyes lit up. Ignoring the free ten-pull offered on the left, he immediately picked up the Dao Ancestor's card art while it was still free for the limited time.

In an instant, the Five Elements Grand Array shone with golden light, and countless chains composed of Dao intent stretched out from the array. Instead of binding the ferocious beast, they directly bound the chaotic world and controlled the entire chaotic Heavenly Dao rules.

Behind the chains, Hongjun, dressed in purple, sat cross-legged in the sky, closing his eyes and focusing his mind, seemingly oblivious to the battle below.

However, Gonggong could clearly sense that the ferocious beasts in front of him had become much weaker, and their initial imposing aura was completely gone.

Freed from the oppression of hierarchy, Gonggong grinned and said, "Damn it, let me show you how powerful your grandpa Gonggong is."

"Father God above, I will surely tear you to shreds."

With that, Gonggong charged into the horde of ferocious beasts bare-handed, his fists swung with ferocious power. He knocked down a beast with a single punch, and even tore a beast ten times his size to shreds with his bare hands.

The blood of the ferocious beasts dripped from head to toe like water, and Gonggong's eyes, mouth, and fingernails were filled with fragments of the chaotic beasts' flesh and blood. Yet, the more he fought, the more energetic he became, his fighting spirit growing stronger, roaring, "For the Father God!" In this way, he killed dozens more ferocious beasts with his bare hands.

Even when facing a group attack, he would directly bite the throat of the ferocious beast and drink its scalding blood. Gonggong, who was originally formed from the essence of Pangu's blood, became more and more powerful with the blessing of the blood of the chaotic beast. Even if he was overwhelmed and accidentally sent back to the resurrection point by the beast, he could immediately be resurrected with full health and return to the battlefield to fight again and cause chaos.

However, not everyone has a physical constitution as strong as Gonggong.

When faced with the countless ferocious beasts, Changxi, born of the Taiyin star, no longer displayed the charming and coquettish expression she had in front of her sister.

Her face was ashen and her expression was cold. In a short period of time, she condensed water spiritual energy into a longbow.

Hold your breath, nock the arrow, draw the bowstring, aim, and release the arrow.

Arrows imbued with moonlight pierced through the horde of ferocious beasts, killing the targeted beasts instantly. Even those touched by the moonlight had their fur turn white and were covered in frost, rendering them immobile.

Seeing that the nearest circle of ferocious beasts was all afflicted with the "Frost" buff, Chang Xi dared not relax for a moment, firing two arrows simultaneously. One arrow after another, the arrows from all directions seemed to form a perfect straight line. Even when her spiritual energy was exhausted, she did not stop, sweeping away all the ferocious beasts within her sight.

Chang Xi, her face slightly pale, stood before the Creation Lotus, resembling a battle-hardened female warrior.

She was covered in frost and snow, yet a hint of warmth flickered in her eyes only when she looked up. In the distance, Pangu was still locked in fierce battle with three thousand demons, his bright eyes gleaming.

Changxi was positioned so that she could see Pangu's right cheek, and that eye was the moon that gave birth to her.

She nocked an arrow again. No ferocious beast could harm their moon.

In different game worlds, while Pangu was engaged in fierce battles, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat quietly in the air, ignoring everything. Only the cultivators below, using various methods, eliminated the ferocious beasts.

Some are filled with raging seas of blood, using blood to form cages to control ferocious beasts; some play the bow and sing, inducing the beasts to kill each other; and some even nurture plants to grow, using the beasts as nourishment...

At the same level, even an endless horde of ferocious beasts could not withstand the various methods of the prehistoric cultivators. However, the number of ferocious beasts was endless, and the battle was once deadlocked.

Of course, some people came up with a novel idea and did not choose Hongjun's skill suppression.

For example, the account features Hongjun himself, who uses his familiarity with Chaos to successfully skip class. After hiding the Creation Lotus, he chooses a suitable spot to watch his former enemies and friends in Chaos reenact a story with a predetermined ending.

It's just a game; the creation of the world by Pangu happened tens of thousands of years ago.

Everything has settled down.

Aside from the fact that Daozu is officially designated as having cheat codes, there are also a small number of players who choose to draw cards.

For example, Kong Xuan, who entered the game a little later, has now caught up and made other players face these two choices.

When Kong Xuan analyzed the two game options, one was a limited-time experience with top-tier card art, and the other was a permanent free ten-pull.

Instead of making a choice immediately, Kong Xuan went to the beast horde to try his luck several times, empty-handed.

Under the guidance of the "Essentials of Cultivation" and through a scientific and standardized method of absorbing spiritual energy, Kong Xuan had long since condensed the Five Elements Origin beyond the specifications required for the mission.

"After completing the mission, there will be remaining Five Elements Essence that can be used to set up an array." Returning to the resurrection point, Kong Xuan, sheltered under the protection of the Creation Lotus, quickly reviewed the mission and the knowledge he had learned.

The game only restricts players' physical attributes, not their innate talents.

Kong Xuan first tried his innate divine ability, "Five-Colored Divine Light." However, the level difference between a level 5 Chaos Beast and a max-level one was simply too great. Under the suppression of the level, even the all-encompassing "Five-Colored Divine Light" could only take a few hairs from these Chaos Beasts, causing no damage at all.

Kong Xuan revised his notes: "As expected, I'm still too weak. I can't get by on my own."

"But since it's a game, it's impossible to give tasks that can't be completed."

Kong Xuan reorganized the clues he had collected both inside and outside the game.

This is the first game of the day. The mission is to help Pangu defeat the three thousand Chaos Gods and complete the preliminary work for creating the primordial world.

All the players can do is protect the Primordial Lotus from the clutches of the Chaos Beasts. However, in the original story, even without the player as the "preacher," Pangu still carved a bloody path out of chaos and created the primordial world.

So is it possible that even if the "Preacher" fails to protect the Creation Lotus, it won't prevent the subsequent plot from continuing?

Kong Xuan questioned this guess, but based on his understanding of his master, he was already 50% certain.

As Yuan Yi's eldest disciple, he didn't want to languish in the game his master created. After clarifying his thoughts, he decided to go against the grain and do something big.

Even if someone plays terribly, they can't be kicked out of the game. If Kong Xuan is going to do something, he has to do it the best.

"The things I do after entering the game have some similarities with the 'Key to Cultivation' compiled by my master."

"Chapter One is about how to establish scientific spiritual energy absorption habits from scratch, and Chapter Two is about establishing the correct combat awareness."

Kong Xuan's gaze fell on the Hongjun card. By choosing this card, one could choose to fight against tens of thousands of ferocious beasts and hone their combat instincts in actual combat.

“Based on the analysis, this is the safest option.” Kong Xuan’s gaze lingered on the Hongjun card for a long time.

With a solid foundation in the "Essentials of Cultivation" and practical experience in the game, he can quickly pass this level as long as he can drag it out until Pangu defeats the Chaos Demon God.

Kong Xuan looked at his own golden tail feathers; a little bird covered in gold is always lucky.

Kong Xuan clicked on the free ten-pull.
