Chapter 121 "Lord of a Land" - The 121st chapter in game development...
Farming in Peach Blossom Village is no easy task.
Tilling the land, sowing seeds, fertilizing, weeding, harvesting—everything has to be done personally. Unlike games like "Farm Battle," you can't just use formations to harvest with a single click. You have to honestly and practically work your way up to the earth and the sky.
In the game, Yaochi and Haotian's physical abilities and magical power were compressed to the level of ordinary people. By the end of the day, they were already dizzy, had eye strain, and a sore back.
The two, who usually only served in front of the Dao Ancestor, had never suffered such hardship. However, thinking of the high expectations that the Dao Ancestor and Fellow Daoist Yuan Yi had placed on them, and knowing that Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were also working diligently in the fields, the two gritted their teeth and persevered.
This allowed Di Jun to get to know the two of them better, and he truly regarded them as "prospective village chiefs" of Peach Blossom Village.
After finishing the farming, Dijun took Yaochi and Haotian to wander through the village, sometimes listening to Bai Ze tell stories, sometimes resolving the conflict between Feilian and Qinyuan, and sometimes asking Shangyang to observe the stars and make divinations. If the ten little golden crows wanted to go out and play for a while, he would arrange for Donghuang Taiyi or Jimeng to go up and take care of the weather in Peach Blossom Village.
With this series of events, how could Yaochi and Haotian not know that these people were the old members of the Heavenly Court from back then? The glorious past of the Heavenly Court, from nothing to its gradual rise to prominence, was also pieced together through these experiences.
Under the tutelage of Di Jun, occasionally drinking a bowl of Kun soup, he handles the trivial matters of Peach Blossom Village under the title of "prospective village chief".
And so summer passed and autumn came, winter brought harvest and spring brought growth, until the peach blossoms withered and bloomed again. Finally, when the tenth peach blossom was scorched, Di Jun finally nodded in approval of the two people in front of him.
He was still dressed in hemp clothes, with a leaf hat that Xiao Jiu had knitted for him on his head. His hands were behind his back, and only his eyes remained bright and sharp. He said to the two people who were completely different from when they first arrived, "Do good deeds and don't worry about the future. The Heavenly Court is just a place built by people. Don't be too attached and forget your original intention."
These were Di Jun's heartfelt words. The Heavenly Court was once so glorious, but it collapsed because of Kunpeng's selfishness. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Yuan Yi's help, he would have already returned to dust, leaving not a trace of his spirit in this world.
These two destined Heavenly Emperors and Queen Mothers will naturally possess the demeanor of Heavenly Emperors when they rule the Heavenly Court in the future. However, under the Heavenly Dao, all living beings face calamities, and even Heavenly Emperors have times when they must never be touched.
Yaochi and Haotian naturally kept these words in mind. After bowing to Dijun in farewell, they finally logged out of the game again.
In reality, only one day had passed since they entered the game.
By the end of the day, the two people in front of Yuan Yi had completely changed.
The once slender young man in white now had a sallow complexion, a robust build, and a mustache, making him appear to be in his thirties or forties. He possessed a profound inner strength and a broad, unwavering perspective, exuding an air of composure and reliability.
The woman in gold was now poised and elegant. In addition to the composure and calmness she displayed at first glance, she also exuded a sense of worldly wisdom. Holding a jade ruyi, she nodded slightly to Yuan Yi, displaying a natural air of refinement.
Yuan Yi was amazed. These days she had been busy making games, and the time flow of "Hidden in the Mountain Village" was set to the highest. When she could steal a glance, she could only watch Yao Chi and Hao Tian being led by Di Jun to the fields to farm.
I never expected that in just one day, he would have such an air about him. Putting everything else aside, just looking at his appearance, he is definitely not a naive ascetic, but a seasoned and powerful person.
But since he had studied under Di Jun, he must be more than just good-looking. Hao Tian said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist. Now I need to invite you to join me in planning the matter of revitalizing the Heavenly Court."
Yuan Yi waved his hands and said, "That is indeed my wish, but I dare not ask you."
Just now, after witnessing Yaochi and Haotian's complete transformation, the Heavenly Dao has also recognized these two. The Heavenly Dao's declaration that Haotian is the Heavenly Emperor and Yaochi is the Queen Mother, in charge of the Heavenly Court, managing the Three Realms, and controlling all immortals has now resounded throughout the prehistoric world.
The rise of the Heavenly Court is already evident, and now is the perfect time to seize the opportunity and recruit talented individuals.
Yuan Yi held the "Lord of a Land" in his hand and shared it with Yaochi and Haotian, saying, "Your Majesty, please look at this."
"The Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms, and it must arrange many immortals as Your Majesty's eyes and ears. However, there are many living beings in the world, so how to select suitable candidates to fill the Heavenly Court and manage the various parts of the prehistoric world is of paramount importance."
As Yuan Yi spoke, he shared half of the management permissions for "Lord of the Land" with Yaochi and Haotian, and at the same time opened the game and projected it to explain.
"The mountains, rivers, grass, and trees in this game are all arranged according to the primordial beings. Most of the creatures have similarities. The celestial immortals can try to manage them in advance in this game. Those who are capable will be appointed and granted official positions, and those who are outstanding can be promoted to the celestial court to work together on important matters."
"In this way, the Heavenly Court will surely produce many talented individuals."
Everywhere in the primordial world was projected, and the management records and leaderboards were clearly displayed, with blank rules waiting for Yaochi and Haotian to fill in.
Those who meet the [specific scoring criteria] can be promoted to [a higher level].
[The Heavenly Court seeks talented individuals for specific tasks; those skilled in these tasks may be appointed accordingly.]
...
The text further details the incense offerings available in each location and the amount of merit that the Heavenly Dao might bestow based on different ratings. It also includes information on the rare and precious materials that might be found in the controlled areas. Even Yaochi and Haotian, who had never seen such treasures before, couldn't help but be captivated when they counted those rich and fertile places.
With such unexpected wealth, everyone will surely yearn for the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court will certainly not lack great talents.
"Excellent!" Haotian clapped his hands together and laughed with joy. He couldn't wait any longer.
After briefly reviewing the gameplay, he used the authority of the Heavenly Emperor for the first time, issuing a decree from the Heavenly Court to all living beings under his rule.
The Heavenly Court seeks talented individuals; those with ability will be appointed. If you wish to obtain a position in the Heavenly Court, or to serve as the ruler of mountains and rivers in various parts of the primordial world, please participate in the assessment in "Lord of a Region" and await your arrival.
The Queen Mother originally wanted to experience it firsthand before discussing it in detail, but seeing Haotian's high spirits and that Fellow Daoist Yuanyi was a reliable person, she didn't want to spoil the mood. She simply took the seal representing the Queen Mother and stamped it on the original decree.
She nodded to Yuan Yi from afar before turning to Haotian and reminding him, "Your Majesty, why don't you experience it first?"
Haotian then detached himself from his identity as the Heavenly Emperor who wielded real power, and he awkwardly rubbed his hands together: "That should be so."
"Your Majesties, please."
"Lord of the Land" welcomes its first two players, who are the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The two chose the Kunlun region as their administrative territory without prior agreement. In this vast green area, only the central Kunlun region was shrouded in gray, representing the cave dwelling of the Primordial Sage, a place that the Heavenly Court could not interfere with.
Yuan Yi stroked his chin. This was interesting. He wondered how the two newly appointed Heavenly Emperors and Queen Mothers of Heaven would deal with Kunlun's big move.
Kunlun is naturally an excellent blessed land, where the pure energy of heaven and earth gathers, so all things grow and rare treasures emerge in abundance.
Yaochi and Haotian, each holding the appointment decision issued by the Heavenly Court, thus became the gods and land deities of the Kunlun Mountains.
Yuan Yi first looked at Yaochi.
Yaochi first built a cave on a beautiful mountain peak in front of Kunlun Mountain, and ordered the Queen Mother of the West to send divine birds to invite fellow Daoists from all directions to gather.
All the sentient beings on and around Kunlun Mountain knew of this immortal sent by the Heavenly Court to govern this place.
Yaochi appeared without any concealment, setting up a place for discussion in front of his cave, and preached for three days. His aura as a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal was known throughout the primordial world.
Now, not only Kunlun, but also the far east and far west of the prehistoric world know that a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Queen Mother of the West, has emerged in the Heavenly Court. She has been cultivating in seclusion for many years, keeping her abilities hidden. Now, she has been granted a decree by the Heavenly Court and is recognized by the Heavenly Dao to take charge of the area surrounding Kunlun.
In the upper left corner, the reputation and prestige of the Queen Mother of the West soared, and soon the entire prehistoric world came to believe in her.
Her reputation reached its peak after the two disciples, Guang Chengzi and Yun Zhongzi, sent by Yuanshi Tianzun, presented her with gifts, and Yun Zhongzi even addressed the Queen Mother of the West as his senior uncle.
This Queen Mother of the West, who appeared out of nowhere, was actually connected to the sage, and was even the sage's junior sister!
He has a powerful background, profound strength, and is a legitimate member of the Heavenly Dao. He is fair and generous in his dealings with others and is generous in giving guidance to his fellow cultivators.
As a result, not only did the creatures of Kunlun bow down to the Queen Mother of the West, but creatures from other places also came to Kunlun because of her fame and the opportunity she had presented.
Reputation +999, Prestige +999, Population +999, Prosperity +999...
In just half a month, Yuan Yi witnessed the Queen Mother of the West increase his initial stats and the status of Kunlun Mountain by dozens of times.
Meanwhile, the female immortals under the Queen Mother of the West traveled from afar to serve her, and the Azure Phoenix lineage of the Phoenix Clan even directly pledged allegiance to her.
With her being a powerful, renowned, and orthodox mountain god recognized by Heaven, no one could stop the Queen Mother of the West from doing what she did in Kunlun.
The Azure Phoenix was dispatched to manage the Kunlun fire veins, while a lesser demon with dragon blood was sought to untangle the Kunlun water system. Meanwhile, the plant and tree clan diligently used the inherited formations to manage the earth veins.
Then, centralize the management of the creatures of Kunlun, open markets, and collect rare and precious materials; arrange subordinates to set rules in important places to regulate those who enter; recruit the most intelligent and resolute young people from various tribes in Kunlun as attendants to guide them, and invite disciples of the Primordial Celestial Venerable of Kunlun Mountain to serve here.
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and gradually Kunlun became a place of great prosperity, attracting talents and finding their place. The weather was favorable, and the earth's energy flowed smoothly.
The Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun became a role model for all immortals, and the surrounding areas that were influenced by her even claimed to be under Kunlun's command, and took the initiative to come to Kunlun to pay homage to the Queen Mother of the West.
Before the game was even over, Yuan Yi watched in disbelief as the area representing Kunlun expanded dozens of times, and the Queen Mother of the West surpassed even the mountain gods, water gods, and city gods of Kunlun. Her prestige was even higher than that of the Heavenly Court, which was the background of the game.
Before the game was even over, news spread throughout the game's prehistoric world that the Queen Mother of the West was the true ruler of the Heavenly Court, while the Heavenly Court in the very center was just an empty shell.
With his prestige surpassing that of all the immortals, he truly deserves to be the one destined to rule the Heavenly Court.
Yuan Yi counted the talents recruited under the Queen Mother of the West and felt that the Queen Mother of the West was now more than capable of establishing her own Heavenly Court.
Seeing that Yaochi's game rating had reached trillions, even the game's creator, Yuan Yi, was astonished.
If Yaochi is so outstanding, how far can Haotian, the Heavenly Emperor, go?
