Although the second stage [Buzhou Mountain Collapse] is much shorter than the first stage [Dragon and Phoenix Battle], lasting only one day, players feel that this one day is more tiring than the previous eleven days combined.
As the pillar of heaven collapsed, floods raged. The floods and the strange beasts that escaped from the mountains and forests also brought a lot of diseases. The migrating tribal residents were attacked by the disturbed strange beasts, and many people contracted the diseases.
Players use the materials they have accumulated to treat the tribal residents, and if they don’t have enough materials, they go and get them.
This should have been considered a welfare activity where players could exchange inventory materials for rewards, but because of this huge disaster, even if they received good rewards, the players could not feel at ease. Those with strong empathy had already put themselves in the shoes of the tribal residents and sympathized with them.
When will this disaster end? There's a hole in the sky, the water will keep rising, where can they finally hide?
Is this event intended to stage the extinction of mankind?
A whole day passed, and the migrating tribesmen arrived at the top of the highest remaining mountain and settled down. Some exhausted players sat directly on the ground, watching the tribesmen skillfully set up a simple camp. They lined up on the edge of the cliff and looked at the raging flood below. The tribal chief standing at the top of the cliff raised his head and let out a long "woo" sound towards the sky.
"Hey, it's dangerous over there!" The players couldn't help but remind.
But the tribesmen did not retreat from the edge of the cliff. Like the tribal leader, they made a long "woo" sound towards the sky.
It was like a strange sacrificial ritual.
Floods continued to pour down from the huge hole above the collapsed Buzhou Mountain. A huge sea beast that was supposed to be swimming in the South China Sea was swept up by the flood and crashed into the stone wall of the cliff, causing the entire mountain to vibrate and shake.
Several tribesmen who were standing on the edge of the cliff lost their balance and were shaken by the impact, causing them to slip and fall off the edge of the cliff.
The tribesmen nearby tried to catch the man who fell, but they were too late.
The players rushed to the edge of the cliff to rescue people. However, when they arrived at the edge of the cliff, they found that the wind, water, and thunder on the cliff suddenly stopped, and everything seemed to be still.
The several tribesmen who fell down landed on the palm of a woman.
Looking up along the line of her palm, a female face, more compassionate and kind than beautiful, parted the dark clouds and emerged above the cliff. She lowered her eyes to look at the little figures on the cliff, raised her hand, and gently placed the little figures in her palm on the cliff. Her voice drifted down from the distant clouds, "Children, don't be afraid."
"Nuwa Goddess!"
"Nuwa Goddess!"
The numb and tired little people seemed to come alive all of a sudden and cheered excitedly.
In the eyes of players who have seen the CG of Nuwa creating humans, this scene is almost like a group of tribal residents shouting loudly in grievance:
"mom--"
Players who have played with the memes too much almost blurted out "Mom".
Although both Gonggong and Zhurong were of huge stature, they brought endless persecution and disaster, while Nuwa, with a human body and a snake tail, brought a strong sense of security. Nuwa's snake tail, hanging down in the flood, wrapped around the cliff and stabilized the shaking mountain.
Some tribal residents who were washed into the flood and could not be rescued in time but were still alive were also brought up by her and placed on the top of the mountain.
Nuwa's gaze swept across the top of the mountain.
Jiuwei jumped out at the right time to go through the plot, saying that the deserters wanted to help quell the disaster. Nuwa nodded slightly after hearing this, and her voice rang in the ears of the players.
"I want to mend the sky. Will you help me find the five-colored stones and cut off the feet of the divine turtle to support the pillar of heaven?"
The final stage of the large-scale event, [Nuwa Mending the Sky], has begun.
The final stage of the event lasts for three days. In the first two days, the players’ task is to collect five-colored stones and hand them over to Nuwa, eliminate the evil beasts that took advantage of the flood to cause trouble, and assist Nuwa in defeating the divine turtle and cutting off its feet.
The return to normal activity content made the players feel much more at ease, and they enthusiastically devoted themselves to the final stage of the activities and took the time to draw cards.
Many people felt a little intimidated when they saw the extremely long health bar and thick defense of Shen Ao, and couldn't help but ask Jiuwei, "Can I really defeat a monster with such thick health in one day?"
They couldn't even count how many zeros were behind the health bar.
Jiuwei comforted them, "Don't worry, whether it's the number of five-colored stones collected or the health bar of Shen'ao, they are shared by all players, so you are not the only one fighting, all the players in the server are fighting."
After getting this answer, the players felt much more at ease.
At one time, there were many guides on how to deal high damage when fighting the Shen Ao on the Star Internet. Many players who were too lazy to think directly searched for these guides and copied them.
"Shan Hai Lu" quietly climbed to the fifth place in the innovation plan. The other top ten game developers were anxious about it but had no choice but to watch "Shan Hai Lu" become popular all over the Internet thanks to this large-scale event.
As for Lunqi, who had previously led the trend to say that "Shan Hai Lu" plagiarized "Quicksand Vortex", he can no longer even hope to see it.
He has never been the opponent of "Shan Hai Lu".
On the first day of the final stage, the five-colored stones were collected and "Shan Hai Lu" ranked fourth.
On the second day of the final stage, the divine turtle was defeated and its four huge claws were cut off by Nuwa. "Records of Mountains and Seas" ranked third.
By the last day of the event, "Shan Hai Lu" had firmly established itself in second place, just one step away from the first place.
At this point, all the activity content has ended, and all players have to do is wait for the end of the activity and the distribution of the final task rewards.
"Today's event is over. I hope it will have a perfect ending." Xiao Baicai, who is in a period of transition, said to the live broadcast.
[As long as the ending is not bad, "Shan Hai Lu" can become a legend on the spot with this event]
[Isn't that exaggerated? Although I also think "Record of Mountains and Seas" is very good, it's still a little behind Big Boss Lake in ranking...]
[Have you forgotten that the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" is still a newcomer? For a complete newcomer to be only slightly behind the great Laker is quite an achievement. It's already quite impressive!]
[Well, I know, but it's a bit of a shame. If the event lasted a few more days, maybe I'd have a chance to take the top spot.]
But in that case, players will inevitably feel a little tired.
Almost all the players in this event were playing intensively, but having only one account saved StarCraft players and Earth players from having to play with multiple accounts at the same time as the main one.
There was once a heroic scene in a certain game where one person had 140 accounts banned.
This time, Xiaobaicai, who was in a period of transition, did not chat with the audience on the barrage. Instead, he focused on the high mountain not far away. On the top of the mountain, Nuwa, who had a human body and a snake tail, was coiled on it. It was Nuwa who was refining the five-colored stones.
As for the so-called Nuwa mending the sky, no one knows how she did it.
Therefore, after completing the task, no player exited the game world of "Shan Hai Lu". Everyone was waiting for the moment to repair the sky.
The mountain where Nuwa refined the five-colored stones was far away from where the human tribes gathered. Players who were close to it could feel the scorching temperature emanating from the center of that place. They stepped back a little, their eyes still fixed on that direction.
The air currents between heaven and earth were pulled by an invisible force and began to flow slowly, gradually transforming from a state invisible to the naked eye to a state visible to the naked eye. With the mountain where Nuwa was located as the center, a vortex of air currents and heat waves was formed.
A drop of sweat fell on the shaft of the golden chariot of the Imperial Sun. The young cabbage, who was in a period of transition, had no time to wipe the sweat off his face and was reluctant to even blink.
In the center of the vortex, at a certain moment, a five-colored light bloomed on the top of the mountain. The mother of the human race with a human body and a snake tail stretched out her snake tail, held up the five-colored light with both hands, looked into the distance at the hole in the sky, and her body became countless times larger. She gently swung her snake tail and came to the collapsed Buzhou Mountain.
Originally, Nuwa was the size of a normal giant, and players could still see her full appearance from a distance. But at this moment, they could no longer see her full appearance. All they could see was her snake tail, winding across the ground like a mountain range for thousands of miles, her black hair occasionally peeking through the clouds, her body that obscured the light, and...
The hands holding the five-colored liquid stretched towards the hole in the sky.
Everyone's eyes were on those hands.
How hot must the liquid made from the five-colored stones that can be used to patch up the sky be? All the players from different interstellar planets saw that hand filling the hole in the sky with the liquid made from the five-colored stones. Occasionally, scattered streams of water fell from the edge of her palm, and she sealed those gaps one by one with the liquid made from the five-colored stones.
The five-colored stone liquid that accidentally leaked rolled onto the skin of Nuwa's arm, bringing out a cloud of smoke, and then quickly fell down, falling onto the vast and desolate land.
When Nuwa let go of her hand, the sky that was originally torn into a hole was left with only a piece of sky flowing with bright colors, and even the light in that piece had brilliant colors.
Afterwards, Nuwa refined the four legs of the divine turtle into pillars as tall as the sky, and erected them where Mount Buzhou originally stood, supporting the sunken corner of the sky. The upper end supported the sky, and the lower end was firmly sunken into the ground.
Like a backbone standing between heaven and earth.
All the anchors who were broadcasting "Shan Hai Lu" had even forgotten that they were still broadcasting, and were watching this scene with wide eyes, but their cameras did not forget to work, broadcasting all the images to every corner of the galaxy and to the eyes of everyone watching the live broadcast.
The moment Nuwa finished mending the sky and re-erected the pillars of heaven, all the players saw blackness in front of their eyes, and when they came to their senses, they were ejected from the game space.
Before him was a text that read, "Game Announcement: The game's first large-scale event, [Nuwa Mending the Sky], has concluded. Six hours of maintenance will follow. Event rewards will be distributed uniformly after the maintenance is complete. Stay tuned."
Players: “…”
The inexplicable emotion in my chest suddenly became stuck, unable to go up or down.
Some people who were concerned about the ranking of "Shan Hai Lu" immediately ran to the homepage of the Innovation Alliance after the pop-up message appeared to see if there were any changes in the ranking of "Shan Hai Lu". As a result, the first glance after clicking in saw that "Shan Hai Lu" was suddenly stuck in the first place!
It turned out that at the last moment, that is, the moment when Nuwa finished repairing the sky, the popularity of "Shan Hai Lu" suddenly increased dramatically, breaking the highest record of the Innovation Plan in one fell swoop, surpassing Lake to become the first place!
The author has something to say:
The background music is still "Pantheon"
"Cut off the giant turtle's feet, and establish the ten thousand feet of heaven and earth to correct the mysterious yellow
Now it is still my straight spine."
