Chapter 21: The Twenty-First Day of the Qilin Clan's Game-Making Visit
Yuan Yi had a nightmare.
Since she transformed into a ley line, she hasn't had nightmares for a long time.
She remembered that one second she was controlling the formation to adjust the game values, and the next second everything went black and she fell into a dream.
Is it because I've been too busy lately? Why do I feel sleepy while revising?
Yuan Yi tried to escape the dream, but he was trapped in it as if he were under a nightmare, only able to keep going around in circles.
With no other option, she could only move forward.
Before him lay a field of lava, the boiling heat distorting the very air, making it impossible for Yuan Yi to breathe.
Is the final resting place of this resentful spirit in a volcano? Even spirits can't withstand that place. How can she find someone to give this resentful spirit a proper burial and stop it from haunting her?
The next second, this thought was forgotten. Amidst the sea of fire, a magnificent bird flew out of the lava, but just as it reached mid-air, it was bound by the surrounding iron chains and forcibly pulled back into the lava.
"Phoenix!" Yuan Yi had seen this beautiful bird in his past dreams, but none of them were as beautiful and magnificent as the one before him.
Even when engulfed in lava, its magnificent radiance remains undiminished.
Phoenix also saw Yuan Yi at this moment. She looked down at Yuan Yi with her eyes full of tolerance and kindness: "Thank you."
The next second, the magma beneath the sea of fire boiled again, even flying into the air, below which lay the accumulated calamity energy of millions of years.
The aura was so dense that just looking at it made it hard to breathe. The phoenix cried out and spread its wings once more. But this time, it didn't fly; instead, it sank down to suppress the overflowing calamity.
The flames were scorching, the wings were dazzling, and it was clearly an extremely dangerous scene, but Yuan Yi was completely captivated by the beauty of the phoenix.
Only when the aura of calamity grew stronger was Yuan Yi forced to exit the dream, leaving only one sentence in his ear:
"The Phoenix Clan is grateful for this favor."
…………
Yuan Yi woke up with a start, her heart pounding. She thought she had endured enough tribulations in her daily life, but after this dream, she realized that this was nothing compared to what she had experienced in the past.
If it weren't for the protection of Heavenly Merit, even in a dream, I wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of the Calamity Qi and would become a vessel controlled by it.
"This won't do." Yuan Yi patted his chest, thinking that having "The Calamity Elimination Game" would solve everything.
It seems we need to quickly accumulate more Heavenly Merit to prevent a backlash from the Calamity.
"However, this dream was not entirely fruitless."
Yuan Feng, one of the participants in the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, is the immortal volcano of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
After all, this is the first great calamity since Pangu created the world, and what Yuan Yi is doing now is basically to resolve the resentment and calamity energy accumulated from this calamity.
"We still underestimated the great calamity of heaven and earth." Yuan Yi's heart was still pounding. "Right now, there are powerful beings like the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix suppressing this calamity. But when future calamities occur, there will be no one to take the blame. This won't do."
Yuan Yi scratched his head anxiously, thinking that the transformation of the earth veins would only cause him some pain, as the illness caused by the calamity would only last for a few days.
Now, facing the tribulation energy suppressed by Yuan Feng, she realized that if her small body were to bear such a massive amount of tribulation energy, she would completely lose herself and become a puppet of the tribulation energy in the next second.
"Fortunately, I woke up in time." This dream served as a wake-up call for Yuan Yi. It was no longer feasible to deal with the situation slowly after the calamity had passed or to rely on small-scale word-of-mouth transmission in the prehistoric world.
Yuan Yi differentiated the formation: "Calamity energy is born from strife. Daily killings also generate a small amount of calamity energy. We need to find a way to reduce the generation of calamity energy."
"At the very least, we must eliminate the calamity energy left by the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity before the next great calamity. Otherwise, who knows what the consequences will be if the two calamity energies come into contact."
Yuan Yi felt a chill run down his spine as he tried to recall when the next great calamity would be.
The Dragon and Phoenix Calamity seems to have been a conflict caused by the Demon Ancestor Rahu in his quest to attain enlightenment. After the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Demon Ancestor absorbed enough blood and energy to achieve great cultivation and fought against the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, which led to the second great calamity of heaven and earth, the "Conflict between Dao and Demon".
Given that we are now in the aftermath of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, the question remains: when will Rahu and Hongjun fight? At least for now, it hasn't started.
"Fortunately, this time it was just the two of them fighting, and it didn't involve the entire prehistoric world." Yuan Yi found joy in the midst of the bitterness, and in the end, Dao Ancestor Hongjun won. The culprit who deliberately provoked the calamity not only didn't win, but he would also have to live outside the prehistoric continent forever, and would never have the chance to cause trouble again.
Although she already knew the outcome of the battle between the Dao and the Demon, Yuan Yi was very clear about her own capabilities. It was best for a mere avatar of the earth veins like herself not to get involved in a fight between two quasi-saint level beings. However, she would make effigies for the Demon Ancestor at Wuzhuang Temple and wish the Dao Ancestor victory.
I hope that the Demon Ancestor, who caused the entire prehistoric world to bleed rivers for his own selfish reasons, will never appear before me again.
But plans can't keep up with changes, and Yuan Yi still had to face the harsh reality.
What was supposed to be an ordinary day of changing game settings turned into a nightmare, but the arrival of an uninvited guest made it exceptionally thrilling.
After communicating with Hongyun Game a few days ago, Zhen Yuanzi had another epiphany and went into seclusion. Before going into seclusion, he instructed Little Ginseng to take care of the game.
Therefore, when the Qilin from Wuzhuang Temple came to visit, Yuan Yi had to face them alone.
These Qilins, with their majestic appearance and imposing aura, stood straight at the entrance of Wuzhuang Temple, exuding an aura of impending doom. They began by saying, "The Qilin clan has come to pay their respects."
To be honest, Yuan Yi really didn't want to meet them. Putting aside their annoying aura of tribulation, the mere fact that they possessed the instinct of a Qilin to suppress the earth's veins made Yuan Yi want to scream.
The Qilin clan suppresses the earth's veins, while Yuan Yi is the embodiment of those veins, making them natural enemies.
The Qilin has been living in seclusion since the great calamity of the dragon and phoenix. Why has it come looking for her this time? Could it be that it came all this way just to suppress her?
Yuan Yi suppressed her discomfort in the presence of the Qilin and welcomed them into Wuzhuang Temple. At least there was a formation she had set up over a hundred years inside the temple, which could at least protect herself and her brother no matter what happened.
After all, the leading Qilin seemed to be a level higher than his brother's, so he couldn't afford to offend it, really couldn't afford to offend it.
There had been no prior disputes, and the person had come to visit respectfully, so naturally, one shouldn't refuse a smiling face and should treat them well.
Yuan Yi personally went out to receive them, but before she could even introduce herself, several tall and mighty Qilin knelt down with a thud: "Thank you, Fairy Yuan Yi, for your contributions to the Qilin clan."
Oh, they're kneeling already? Have they mistaken me for someone else? Could it be Gardener, Yuan Yi, or Fairy Yuanyi? How come I have no idea what contributions I've made to the Qilin clan?
Although it was just wild speculation, Yuan Yi knew that there was only one person named Yuan Yi within a radius of ten thousand miles of Wuzhuang Temple. Since the Qilin clan had specifically come to Wuzhuang Temple, it must be him.
Yuan Yi maintained his smile: "Please rise quickly, everyone. There are too many people here, so let's go inside the manor to talk in detail."
How embarrassing! She went to the door to greet the guests, but they all knelt down and called out her name in unison. She herself had no idea what she had done for the Qilin Clan.
For a moment, the physical discomfort was completely overwhelmed by the psychological embarrassment, and I couldn't even think of all those dangerous theories about the Qilin.
The three Qilins looked uneasy upon seeing each other, exchanged glances, and then followed Yuan Yi inside without saying a word.
Seeing that the manor was filled with spiritual herbs, and that they had deliberately transformed into human form, all of them were beautiful women dressed in gold and jade, and richly dressed, if Yuan hadn't seen them in human form, he would have thought they were princes and noblemen from somewhere.
"Our clan is deeply grateful for Fairy Yuanyi's great kindness and virtue, so we have sent us to express our gratitude to her." The leading Qilin bowed forward, startling Yuanyi into taking a step back.
No way! She's just a nobody playing games. A Great Immortal kneeling and bowing is something she can't handle, given her cultivation level.
Qi Ruo said solemnly, "If you can endure it, then my Qilin clan will be forced to suppress the earth's veins for eternity until there are no more Qilins left."
"Now that the fairy has shown us the way out with the 'Combating Calamity' game, we are so grateful for her great kindness. The Qilin clan is willing to serve the fairy."
After the great calamity of the dragon and phoenix, not only were the three races severely weakened, but the primordial continent was also left in ruins. In order to atone for their sins, the dragon race reorganized the four waters, and the phoenix eternally guarded the Nanming Undying Volcano. The Qilin race also went into seclusion to suppress the earth's veins until their sins were atoned for.
"But the calamity in the world is growing stronger every day. Our clan has suffered heavy casualties and is burdened with sins. Our clan members are becoming increasingly few. We thought that we would only have a moment of peace when our clan was wiped out. But when the fairy released the 'Calamity Elimination Game,' our clan was relieved of its burden. For this alone, she has done a great favor for our clan."
"Absolutely, absolutely! Ever since the Grand Elder purchased the game at a high price and set it up, the spiritual veins of our clan's land have been repaired, and the little ones are more lively than before." The Qilin girl in the back smiled innocently.
Qi Ruo nodded: "That's right. We came here for two reasons: first, to express our gratitude to the fairy on behalf of the Qilin clan; and second, to ask if the fairy has any more game formations that we can place in the four directions of the earth veins. We are willing to buy them at a high price."
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep. I was worried about how to quickly promote the game to all parts of the prehistoric world, and now the Qilin clan has taken the initiative to come to my door, willing to pay to help with promotion and placement.
This isn't a natural enemy, it's an auspicious omen!
Yuan Yi was deeply moved. The three Qilins in front of him became more and more pleasing to the eye. He waved his hands and said, "I still have a lot of this game in stock. You can take it all, no charge."
Anyway, it has a built-in recharge channel and you can exchange rare and precious materials for currency, so you won't lose anything.
Even the largest expense, advertising, was paid for out of their own pockets by the Qilin clan. Moreover, as a major clan in the prehistoric world, they have extensive connections. What kind of amazing investor is this?
Yuan Yi immediately took out all his game inventory from his sleeve and piled it up on the ground into a small mountain taller than a person.
"If this isn't enough, you can wait two more days while I continue production. It's everyone's responsibility to work on sorting out the primordial earth veins," Yuan Yi said with an upright expression. "If there are any other games in the future, I'll need your help in promoting them."
The three Qilin were overjoyed. Seeing the tens of thousands of game formations below, they quickly said, "That's enough. In the future, Fairy Yuanyi can arrange anything for our Qilin clan."
Seeing Yuan Yi's generous gesture, the Qilin clan also took out rare and precious treasures prepared from their space as a thank-you gift. Each and every one of them was a top-tier treasure from the primordial world, which made Yuan Yi's eyes widen in amazement.
Is this the foundation of the Qilin clan? With this, the next game can incorporate more special effects for mobile devices.
These are not natural enemies! I am the earth vein, and the Qilin clan manages the earth veins. We are comrades who share life and death.
Both sides were very satisfied, feeling that the other side was a truly generous and kind person.
Qi Ruo also spoke freely to Yuan Yi, revealing even the secrets of their clan: "...The three clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin were originally very close, and the clan leaders were best friends with each other at the beginning of creation. However, a villain stirred up trouble, which led to irreversible consequences. Unfortunately, it was too late when they discovered it, and the disaster had already been done. They could only atone for their sins."
Yuan Yi listened and nodded, thinking to himself that he knew the mysterious person; it was none other than the wicked Demon Ancestor Rahu.
"Our Qilin clan, together with the Phoenix and Dragon clans, has been searching for the whereabouts of this mysterious person. Recently, we discovered the aura of this mysterious person in the western ley lines."
Yuan Yi continued to listen. She knew this too; the Dao Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor Rahu were about to fight in the West, and Rahu was making preparations in advance in the West.
"This time, we will first make arrangements in the west, and we will never let this villain's scheme succeed."
Don't worry, this time the Dao Ancestor has won. Rahu will be sent to heaven soon and will never come back.
"I just hope that this villain will not harm the innocent or the primordial land this time, after all, my Qilin clan has the responsibility to guard the primordial land."
Regarding the fight between Hongjun and Luohou, the Dao Ancestor, being compassionate, specifically chose an uninhabited area, so there seems to be no record of any major casualties.
However, the conflict between Taoism and Demonism seems to have had a significant impact, shattering the earth's veins in the West, to the point that the two Western saints became the poorest of the six saints.
Wait, the earth's veins in the west have been shattered.
Yuan Yi suddenly came to her senses. She was the embodiment of the earth veins. Shattering the western earth veins was equivalent to shattering her.
She's going to shatter?!
