Chapter 533 Nothing New Under the Sun
The limited-time battlefield activity lasted for a full week because the battle between the immortals and gods lasted for a week.
When it comes to the level of immortals and gods, it is actually very difficult to be truly killed without sufficient preparation, so the immortals and gods fought from Zhongzhou to Penglai Island, and from Penglai Island to Guixu Sea.
Not all the star gods participated. Only a dozen or so could barely be considered Fang Xianyu's camp. Of course, she hadn't had time to make friends with them this round.
Some immortal gods who were unaware of the situation tried to stop Gu Gu Guzu from giving up destroying the Sun and the Moon. Even many masters and elders of other sects in the Ten Continents and Three Islands came to persuade him. No one was clear about what had happened exactly, but everyone knew that if the Sun and the Moon were lost, there would be chaos in the Guixu Realm.
However, Gu Gu Gu didn't think so. He first cursed Fang Xianyu and Taiyin Sect for being the lackeys of the demon from outside the sky, then accused the immortals and gods of aiding and abetting the evil, and finally vowed that as long as the sun and the moon were destroyed, the "heavenly way" of Guixu Realm would be broken, and the immortals and gods would no longer have shackles and fetters on their bodies...
Naturally, more and more people will become immortals and gods, and will no longer be controlled by any "demons from outer space".
This statement did attract some followers to the ancient ancestor Gu, but more people, especially immortals and gods, scoffed at this statement.
This is not because they completely disbelieve what Gu Gu said, but because of a very simple truth: all choices are based on interests.
Except for immortal gods like Penglai God who can hardly bear the heavenly tribulation and who himself feels that he has not much time left from the thunder tribulation, and those cultivators who have no sect affiliation or have a mediocre relationship with the sect, no one is willing to give up the known path and pursue the unknown. Even those immortal gods who stand on Fang Xianyu's side with great righteousness do so not because they are really so righteous, but because they themselves are the vested interests.
No immortal god wants to have more immortal gods to dilute their group, just like whoever cultivates an immortal body and attains enlightenment as a god will keep silent about the process and all his experiences. The firewall of heaven is only one of the reasons; the deeper reason is human nature.
What's even more ridiculous is that in this protracted war, except for a few people like Yinglong King and Penglai God who were really fighting to the death, all other immortals and gods on both sides were just pretending.
Only by riding on the fence can we put down the chips before either side wins.
"There is nothing new under the sun. It turns out that these so-called immortals and gods are also human beings, and they all have selfish desires!"
Aunt Wang had seen through the trick several days ago. When she learned from Fang Xianyu that Nuwa was on her way back to Guixu Realm, she completely relaxed and was filled with emotion.
It's not completely relaxed. Although there is still some tension, overall, people are not nervous because of the war and the two celestial bodies that seem to be about to collide.
In just one week, the temperature in Guixu Realm has risen by several degrees. Even the snow that never melts in the Arctic Ocean has melted a lot. The Wuyue River has actually experienced its first "flood season", and several tributaries have rolled out on the left and right sides of the land, irrigating several swamps and wetlands.
However, the lives of ordinary mortals were more difficult. After all, seven consecutive days of daylight were indeed a bit scary. Even though Fang Xianyu issued tasks to farmers and casual players to communicate and appease the people, many people in remote areas were in a state of constant fear, and private sacrificial activities increased hundreds of times.
Among them, the people in the Changzhou wilderness area were the most pitiful. In this area, which was still a slave society with shaman worship and sacrificial culture, tens of millions of people died in just one week.
The sun dried up several rivers in the wilderness, and countless slaves were killed for sacrifice. The gods they believed in were countless, some might be just the gods of a stone mountain, there were also aliases of Taiyi God "Sun God" and Taiyin God "Moon God", the latter once referred to the deceased former Taiyin God, and now refers to Fang Xianyu.
The damage caused by this massive, cruel and inhumane sacrificial activity was far more than the slaves who were directly killed. Several large tribes such as the Xin clan and the Feng clan who were wandering in the wilderness fought each other fiercely, and many small tribes were annexed or massacred, just for the sake of competing for water, mines and hunting areas.
The tragedy in Zhongzhou was no less tragic. Large tracts of mountains and forests were affected by the battle and became devastated, not to mention the villages and towns of all sizes and the settlements of ordinary people. As a result, the daily tasks of the players became the transfer of refugees. Fang Xianyu specifically instructed the Flower Planting Family project team to build a new city in the Arctic Liuzhou to temporarily transfer some homeless refugees and resettle them with work-for-relief.
As for the front battlefield, the players had long been killed and had lost their temper. Except for I Love Farming Society, which could still maintain a high level of combat passion, even Longshan and Haoqi Changcun, the two who were most enthusiastic about group activities and the excitement of fighting, could only retain less than five large groups to participate in the activities.
You know, when this limited-time battlefield event just started, Longshan Sheyi brought out more than 40 large groups to participate in the event!
There is no way. The gap in strength is too big. Not only do the disciples of Taiyi Qiankun Sect and Penglai Sect add up to hundreds of thousands, but each of them has a high level of cultivation. Even the worst outer disciples and menial disciples who have only been in the sect for a few years have already established their foundation.
On the other hand, on the players' side, let alone the tens of thousands of places that Fang Xianyu had just released with great effort, there are still several thousand old players who have not yet established their foundation!
Even if there were tens of thousands of players who had built a base, they still had to work and live on Blue Star, so how could they possibly stay in the game forever? So after only three or four days, when there was no hope of victory, the players fell into a period of weakness, and the forums were filled with complaints.
This limited-time battlefield activity is completely different from previous ones. In the past, the battle phase would not last very long, and you could clearly see the process of gradually winning.
But this time, it was like a form of self-abuse. Players often just resurrected or went online, rushing forward with all kinds of magic weapons and even thunder rifles, but before they could kill an enemy, they were killed by spells flying from nowhere or magic weapons of NPCs. Then they were trapped in a resurrection CD of at least ten minutes and at most an hour.
Who can be so happy online for only a few minutes? As a result, fewer and fewer players participate in limited-time battlefield activities.
What made Fang Xianyu most uncomfortable was that this event also discouraged many players from playing. Many anchors also lamented that the game officials were too useless. They neither understood operations nor planning. They played a good hand of cards badly. Such great technology turned into such a garbage state!
