Chapter 75: The Seventy-Fifth Chapter of Game Development – On the Eve of the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity Event…
In fact, if Zhen Yuanzi hadn't just made up his mind to let his sister do whatever she wanted, he would have definitely snatched the event planning document from Yuan Yi's hand.
Even Zhen Yuanzi, who was extremely fond of the original idea, had to admit that the proposal in his hand was far too outrageous.
"Dragon and Phoenix Calamity Event Planning, Arena Gameplay Testing and Promotion"—the name is long, but the content is quite fitting.
Zhen Yuanzi scanned it carefully and saw that the entire text contained only one word: War!
At Buzhou Mountain, they will engage in a one-on-one battle to determine who is the best in the world.
The Great Calamity of Dragons and Phoenixes: Groups against groups, each choosing a faction to elect a leader, and attacking each other's territories.
The winner can customize a title.
The entire poster, with its gold and red color scheme and the emphasis on the word "leader," clearly revealed Yuan Yi's ulterior motives to Zhen Yuanzi.
“The Kunpeng incident just happened, and both Dijun and the Wu Clan are in a bad mood. If you launch this event at this critical moment, wouldn’t that just add fuel to the fire?” Zhen Yuanzi shook his head in disapproval.
Yuan Yi simply pointed to the sky: "I submitted this proposal to the higher-ups for review a long time ago. Besides, there are more and more 'demons' being born in the prehistoric world now, and it's time for someone to take action and manage them."
After the game was launched, too many beings gained sentience, fulfilling the definition of demons passed down through generations.
Too many people can easily lead to trouble, let alone demons who have just gained sentience. In any case, the primordial world appeared vibrant and full of life on the surface half a month ago, but in reality, it had long been in complete chaos underneath.
The struggle for territory is nothing more than fighting, a dog-eat-dog world, and people doing whatever they want. Such chaos can be dealt with gradually, but a rapid increase in the number of living beings in a short period has led to all sorts of problems, creating a mess. Even the ruthless laws of nature feel that this ecosystem cannot be sustained in the long run.
Following the clues, they found the culprit behind everything: the creator of the game.
Faced with the investor and the bigwig in charge of the audit, Yuan Yi naturally cooperated with the best attitude. After all, Di Jun was the Heavenly Emperor destined by Heaven, and now that he was being pushed forward to become the leader of the demon race ahead of time, taking over this mess might not be a bad thing.
Faced with the reviewers' opinions, Yuan Yi naturally cooperated fully. Not only did she help stop Kunpeng when Di Jun made his move, disrupting their formation, but she also decided to help Di Jun gain momentum in the game, striving to make the demon race stronger and more powerful in a short period of time, so that Di Jun could successfully debut.
The second major aspect of this Dragon and Phoenix Calamity was tailor-made for Di Jun. With the authority to rule over a region, those little demons who had just gained sentience were more likely to be recruited under his command.
This also allows Di Jun to experience the thrill of ruling over all demons ahead of time.
As for the Wu Clan, who had a grudge against Di Jun, Yuan Yi waved his hand: "I didn't stop them. There are three forces in this event, so they can naturally fight in the arena and vent their hatred in the game. Maybe they will appreciate each other and forget their grudges in the process."
This is utter nonsense; even Zhen Yuanzi had to admit that his sister was lying through her teeth.
Everyone in the entire prehistoric world knows that the Witch Clan is not only single-minded but also extremely vengeful. Moreover, because they are all descendants of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, offending one means becoming an enemy of the entire Witch Clan, a fight to the death.
Kunpeng not only tricked the Wu Clan out of their treasures, but also tried to devour two Wu Ancestors to increase his cultivation. Dijun openly protected Kunpeng, and although he also compensated those who were tricked by Kunpeng, he was ultimately in the wrong. The lesser demons who went to the Wu Clan even had their wings broken and were thrown out.
Now everyone knows that the two of them are at odds. At this time, if Di Jun is brought out to lead a force during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, how can the opposing Wu Clan stay put? They will definitely fight him until the Great Dao is obliterated.
If things escalate into a real fight, there are plenty of cases where people who don't fight in the game end up fighting offline. If you fight me and I fight you, this ancient world might descend into chaos again.
As for the subsequent development of the new main storyline, opening the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Realm, and launching the limited-time up pool and permanent treasure pool, although there were hidden mysteries, it was obvious that none of them were as important as the two things that needed to be dealt with above, so Zhen Yuanzi overlooked them for a while.
He checked the plan repeatedly, and only after confirming that the plan had been reviewed by the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor and would not be changed.
Zhen Yuanzi could only plan ahead and gave him some instructions: "You should stay at Wuzhuang Temple these days. I will invite some friends to come and oversee things at the temple. You don't need to check your private messages in the game these days. If anyone offends you, just tell me and I will deal with him."
In short, since you've already gotten yourself into trouble, just stay put and don't go out and provoke bad people. But if someone does provoke you, don't hold back; your brother will stand up for you.
Despite saying all that, Zhen Yuanzi still felt uneasy. Since he knew that trouble was bound to arise in the future, he had to start preparing right now. Soon, he went to Wuzhuang Temple to mend his clothes, afraid of making any mistakes.
Yuan Yi was left leaning against the tree, sending Hongjun another message: [The event plan to align with the changes in the natural order has been completed. Please let me know if there's anything else that needs to be coordinated.]
Hongjun, who was still engrossed in the game, decisively switched out of the Heavenly Dao after seeing the message Yuanyi suddenly sent him.
The newly emerged Heavenly Dao directly replaced his chat box: 【Excellent. Further game coordination is needed to stabilize the prehistoric situation and promote its development. I will inform you when the time is right.】
Hongjun blinked and watched from the sidelines. Tiandao also naturally had an independent game account, but it existed as a separate alt account applied for by Hongjun as a Daoist. Tiandao was even impersonating him to reply to Yuanyi.
As one who is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun naturally has the right to know. After seeing the Heavenly Dao's reply, he couldn't help but complain that it wasn't the Heavenly Dao that had been corrupted by Yuan Yi.
The self-proclaimed ruthless Heavenly Dao naturally disagreed: "[Since the game started, you've been so engrossed in it that you've neglected management, so I've come to check on you.]" Heavenly Dao spoke with righteous indignation, completely disregarding the fact that the game had only been open for two months—two months being but a fleeting moment in the primordial world.
Heavenly Dao: [However, this game developer, Ginseng Fruit Tree, is indeed quite capable. He told me many ingenious methods for managing all living beings through game-based world development. This event is also a solution he discussed with me for addressing the problem of rampant overpopulation.]
[It certainly has its merits; no wonder you're so addicted to games.]
Hmm. This is the first time since he merged with the Dao that the Heavenly Dao has spoken to him at such a long time. The better the world develops, the more the Heavenly Dao naturally benefits. In such a short time, the Heavenly Dao has already been able to clearly express his ideas in language.
No wonder he is so fond of Yuan Yi, and even took the initiative to interact with Yuan Yi's game program to study the impact of games on world development.
My recent research topic seems to be "Many hands make light work: the premise that quantitative change leads to qualitative change".
…………
No one knew about this little episode between Heaven and Hongjun. Soon, with the expectations of the various factions, the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity was finally about to begin.
If we're talking about who's most looking forward to it, it has to be Kunpeng, who's planning to make a good impression on Dijun.
"Lord Dijun, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If our demon race can seize it, our prestige will naturally soar. You are now only a hair's breadth away from that position. If you seize this opportunity, you will surely achieve your goal."
Even though his account was banned, Kunpeng kept a close eye on the game's news. After all, when all living beings in the prehistoric world are playing the game, it will influence the situation in the prehistoric world. Just like how people made preparations as soon as the information about this event was released.
Kunpeng knew he had offended the Wu Clan and could only rely on the Demon Clan. However, he had also offended Donghuang Taiyi of the Demon Clan, so he had no choice but to cling to Dijun and, in the beginning, make sure to demonstrate his value.
In terms of fighting, he couldn't compare to Donghuang Taiyi; in terms of broad knowledge, he couldn't compare to Bai Ze; the little demons under his command were not even a large number among the many demons gathered by Di Jun; all the assets in the game were confiscated; and the demons even got into a lot of trouble because of him.
With this in mind, he is now in great danger, facing both hostility from Donghuang Taiyi in front and covetous eyes from the Wu tribe behind.
Only by demonstrating their value can they gain a foothold among the demon race.
The best course of action now is to showcase his unique talents in the game. After all, he's the first person to have the ability to simultaneously deceive a powerful immortal and get his account banned in the game.
Although it's a bad reputation, the fact that the game company would proactively ban his account shows that he has some skill.
Kunpeng was not ashamed, but rather proud, and actively offered advice despite his banned account.
"Now all the demon races of the four directions submit to Your Majesty, but the primordial wilderness is vast after all. Why not take this opportunity to gather all the demon races from all over the world to submit? Once the whole world is subdued, Your Majesty's great cause will be accomplished." Even before the Heavenly Court was established, the "Your Majesty" mentioned by Kunpeng had already appeared.
Kunpeng rubbed his hands together, looking ready to serve as Dijun's pawn. For a time, many demons who followed Dijun thought that Kunpeng was indeed a loyal demon.
Only Donghuang Taiyi scoffed, even laughing after Kunpeng spoke.
The atmosphere cooled down, and Kunpeng felt his wings go numb. The pain of having his wings torn off by Donghuang Taiyi halfway back on the return journey surged up again.
He shouldn't have offended that fool who only knew how to fight. Kunpeng regretted his actions and, out of fear, he could only rely on Dijun even more.
"Your Majesty, while you and many other lords achieve great things in the game, I will clear away obstacles for Your Majesty outside the game." His loyalty and sincerity in his words seemed genuine, but his body suddenly went out of control, and he fell sideways to the ground, even revealing the newly grown bird wings on his back. He looked extremely disheveled.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was truly a comical sight. Kunpeng could only suppress his embarrassment and get back up. He had indeed been incredibly unlucky these past few days; this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. But seeing Kunpeng, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, in this state, someone among the demons who had been at the rear made a rustling sound.
Enraged, Kunpeng glared fiercely at the blade behind him, but it happened to meet Donghuang Taiyi's attack, causing him to shudder and trip over his own feet.
The scene was quite awkward at one point, but it was only after Di Jun personally helped Kunpeng up and told everyone to disperse to prepare for the new game event that the matter was resolved.
When only Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun remained in the hall, Dijun privately reminded his younger brother: "Kunpeng is still somewhat useful, so you must not go too far in your actions."

Author's Note: Zhen Yuanzi: What to do when my sister keeps trying to cause trouble? [Sigh] I guess I'll have to invite a few more people over to keep things under control. [Thumbs up]
