Chapter 80 A Sudden Game Update: The Eightieth Chapter of Game Development...
What does bankruptcy mean? Tongtian was completely baffled, but the game progress notifications popping up in the game were visible to everyone.
"Triggering a hidden storyline?" Hongyun read the game announcement word by word, and after the announcement was released, the entire game process seemed to accelerate.
As the leader, Di Jun was the first to realize this. His demons became more obedient, their attack power increased, and their defensive formations operated more quickly. Even the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation, which he had envisioned in reality, could be perfectly replicated in the game.
Before Di Jun could even rejoice, he discovered that the opposing Wu tribe was fighting even more fiercely. Amidst the sieges and territorial conquests, the combined power of both tribes reached its peak.
The great battle is about to begin, and the outcome will be revealed today.
But when Di Jun and Di Jiang led their respective tribes to meet on the battlefield, they witnessed a mysterious man in black taking advantage of the chaos. He not only stole the essence blood of both tribes to enhance his cultivation, but also set up an ambush on the battlefield, intending to create the illusion that the two would perish together.
What a cunning man in black! He actually treated their two clans like fools, toying with them like this. Di Jun and Di Jiang were both enraged. At this moment, their state of mind was almost identical to that of the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix when they learned the truth. The two of them, unusually, put aside their hatred and wanted to attack together to teach this man in black a lesson.
However, Yuan Yi had no intention of letting them have their way here. He immediately switched the game interface to a drama mode where they could only watch but not touch.
Throughout the long river of time, the man in black has repeatedly appeared in fragments of memory. Whether it's maliciously provoking conflict between the two races, using the essence of both races to enhance his cultivation, or even causing widespread devastation to steal the life force of the primordial world... all these actions, coupled with extremely eerie background music, practically make it clear that this man in black is not a good person.
The simple and honest cultivators of the primordial world had never seen such methods before. When they saw that this man in black wanted to destroy the primordial spiritual veins to enhance himself, their disgust for him reached its peak.
But just as the man in black was about to reveal his plan, he slowly turned around, about to tell the truth.
But then the game suddenly displayed a message saying, "The game is currently updating. Please try again later." This kicked everyone out of the game, and they were unable to log back in.
Instantly, the entire prehistoric world erupted in a physical uproar. People were cursing, arguing, trying to catch the man in black, and some even started fighting over a single word, settling their in-game grudges in real life.
However, the two races, the Lich and the Lich, who fought the fiercest in the game, tacitly called a retreat and did not cause any trouble.
Everyone knows that Yuan Yi's games are all about realism. Could this man in black really be the culprit behind the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, or is he implying that there is also such a man in black between their two races?
The higher one's cultivation level, the more secrets of heaven and earth one can know. Although the Wu clan is single-minded, Houtu has always been intelligent and can persuade her eleven brothers.
At this critical juncture, Di Jun had no time to seek out such trouble.
Only in Wuzhuang Temple did Tongtian and Hongyun slowly raise their heads, their expressions a mixture of bewilderment and resentment at being expelled from the game. The other people who had entered the game wore the same expressions.
"You changed the game settings right in front of us?" Tongtian jumped up, grabbed Yuanyi's hand, and tried to change the original plot to let him continue into the game.
However, Yuan Yi's formation was drawn too densely, with each element within the other, making it impossible for anyone who hadn't personally set it up to discern the original formation. Tongtian was at a loss for what to do.
The hand that was holding Yuan Yi stopped in mid-air, and the resentful look in her eyes could not be concealed at all.
"You did this on purpose." Tongtian gritted his teeth. Although he already knew who the man in black was and that he had been punished, being kicked out of the game at the crucial moment when he was about to draw his sword to fight was still unpleasant.
Yuan Yi was interrupted by Tongtian's game update, but he subconsciously patted Tongtian's head: "Wait a minute, you can log in after the update is complete. Right now, it's just that the formation update is a little laggy."
"Cough cough." Zhen Yuanzi quickly came to his senses and tried to persuade Tongtian to stop.
After all, Tongtian wields a sword, and if he grips it so tightly, he might break Yuanyi's hand.
Now Zhen Yuanzi began to regret his idea of inviting familiar Daoist friends to Wuzhuang Temple to oversee things. If these Daoist friends were truly driven mad by the game, then the formation of Wuzhuang Temple would become useless; it would be like inviting a wolf into the house.
Fortunately, Tongtian had some sense of propriety. After his momentary impulse subsided, he felt the touch on the top of his head, and his earlobe turned red before his hand was put down.
He stammered, "So... it was just a problem with the formation... then hurry up."
Nuwa looked left and right, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but seeing that everyone's expressions were normal, she thought that she was just being paranoid.
Originally, I wanted to release the world boss a few days later, when everyone's resentment towards Luo Hou was at its peak, to whet everyone's appetite.
Judging from Tongtian's reaction alone, one can tell that such things would be incredibly stimulating for a simple, unassuming cultivator from the primordial world. It wouldn't be good if it angered Tongtian.
Yuan Yi sighed inwardly. It was such a waste that Luo Hou got off so easily. He had attacked Dapeng time and again, and now he was getting his just desserts.
Yuan Yi leaped out of the array's range, his five fingers plunging into the earth, pulling out a majestic black spear from the earth's veins. This black spear exuded demonic energy and a chilling aura, its black flames seeming to come alive, scorching everywhere.
Only the joint between the barrel and the tip of the gun was covered with a clump of black, sticky mud, which looked extremely abrupt and out of place.
Yuan Yi, however, didn't even blink. He used his spiritual power to forcibly peel the lump of mud off the God-Slaying Spear, shaping it into a rather bizarre form. Then he threw it into the enormous array at the very center.
"You brat!"
Everyone present heard the sound coming from the lump of mud, and Tongtian, who had heard the sound many times before, had an indescribable expression on his face.
"This is magic..." Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Yi nodded in acknowledgment, "You'll be able to do it yourself in a few days."
Yuan Yi sneered: "It's time to let him know what a monster is that can be wiped out by any god as long as he has a health bar."
Originally, she only wanted to seal Luo Hou's remnant soul underground. But she didn't expect this guy to like causing trouble so much, arousing Da Peng's inner demons once or twice. Fortunately, Da Peng's will was firm and he even made some progress. At that time, she took good care of this lump of mud through merit.
Originally, it was thought that after this dynasty, Rahu would finally be able to behave himself. Who would have thought that he would still be so treacherous and would cause a major disaster for Dapeng, bringing over the entire Journey to the West after several great calamities.
She forced her two disciples to become either obsessed with their inner demons or trapped in their dreams, and they might even be dragged into the Journey to the West tribulation in the future.
If she didn't avenge this, she would be unworthy of being a teacher. How could a large-scale battle game only have these kinds of gameplay options? She just happened to be missing a world boss. Since Luo Hou, as the Demon Ancestor, couldn't die, he would be trapped in the game for eternity, attacked and beaten by the players he once considered ants.
Yuan Yi smiled, but anyone could see the chill in her eyes. Tongtian, who knew Ni Tuan's identity, couldn't help but shiver.
Yuan Yi nodded to everyone: "The new storyline will be unlocked in a few days. I'll be busy updating the game these next few days, so you can try out other gameplay options at Wuzhuang Temple first."
Since it was just a temporary change to the game's storyline and mode, even Yuan Yi (the game's creator) was bound to have to shut down the servers for an update.
However, this incident has become quite serious, and even the Heavenly Dao couldn't help but urge Yuan Yi to release the rest of the story as soon as possible.
Overwhelmed by the constant complaints, Yuan Yi decided to update the game announcement ahead of schedule: [The Dao Ancestor Hongjun character card art is available for a limited time with a shared pity value across all servers; only one card can be drawn per server at this time. A new treasure pool has been opened, where you can exchange treasures for currency to draw from, containing three strands of Primordial Purple Qi. The new Boss Battle gameplay is coming soon, so stay tuned.]
Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Primordial Purple Qi that enabled him to become a saint, and unlimited card-drawing opportunities that can be exchanged with any magic weapon! The entire prehistoric world was in an uproar.
After all, everyone is equal before the gacha system. Maybe the next lucky one to draw the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and become his disciple will be me, or maybe I will draw the Primordial Purple Qi and become a future prodigy with unlimited potential.
Under the immense temptation, even the resentment from being tricked by the man in black in the game and the anger that had been simmering inside dissipated considerably. Only a handful of people noticed the final mysterious boss and the surprise reward.
“Anything that can be mentioned alongside the Primordial Purple Qi and the Dao Ancestor must be extraordinary.” Di Jun predicted the opportunity. “However, there is still some time to go. It’s not too late to enter the game after this matter is over.”
"Now we can prepare it."
…………
Driven by interests and emotions, the prehistoric world was quite lively. Only Wuzhuang Temple remained unusually quiet due to the recent conflict between the two senior brothers and the presence of many powerful figures.
Even when news of Di Jun establishing the Heavenly Court and becoming the Heavenly Emperor to command the demon race reached Wuzhuang Temple, Nuwa was still pulling Fuxi to grab treasures from the manifested Treasure Distribution Pool.
The original five-colored stones had been exchanged for card-drawing opportunities, and Nuwa had just tossed down a spirit bead. At this moment, the red bead was rampaging wildly in the treasure pool, startling a rare treasure into Nuwa's grasp.
"The Demon-Summoning Banner?" Nuwa read the name of this innate treasure with disbelief in her eyes.
She actually has a connection with such a treasure. Could it be that the powerful demon clan that Kunpeng's underlings were talking about wasn't just something they made up?
Nuwa's eyes widened in disbelief as a tail circled around her. Fuxi, on the other hand, examined the demon-summoning banner from all angles, concluding that it was indeed connected to Nuwa, but had absolutely no relation to Dijun.
"This will likely cause trouble in the future, so you should keep it for now." Fuxi then handed the treasure to Nuwa. After all, it was a valuable treasure, and with the world on the verge of chaos, having an extra life-saving treasure was always a good thing.
At this moment, the spirit pearl, which had been running rampant in the treasure distribution pool, met its match and was caught off guard by a huge fan. Nuwa then cast her final draw, opening the passage for the treasures to leave.
The red spirit bead flew out of the treasure pool and slammed into Yuan Yi, who had just finished replenishing and updating.
Yuan Yi yawned, completely unaware of the red shooting star streaking across the sky. Instead, a small, white-gold dragon rushed up anxiously: "Lord Yuan Yi, be careful!"

Author's Note: Yuan Yi: You're immortal, huh? You want to live on with the demonic path forever? Dare to touch my child, and I'll turn you into the game's ultimate boss, making you suffer at the hands of players for all eternity! [Angry]
