Hell's Trial Operation! Little Ancestor's Bizarre Experience Report!
"I want to play this!"
Lin Shen's cheers were crisp and loud, filled with the purest longing of a child.
But when this sound reached the ears of the three progenitors, the Ancestral Dragon, the Yuanfeng Phoenix, Primordial Kirin, it was even more deafening than the Chaos Divine Thunder.
The verdict has been delivered.
They lost.
The three stared blankly at the "super Water Park" they had painstakingly created.
Not long ago, Lin Shen's laughter had echoed there, but now only the rushing water remained, and all was silent.
A powerful Daoist aura called "defeat" nearly crushed their Dao Heart resolve.
Their proud "offline physical projects" are as fragile as ancient rocks in the face of Fuxi's all-encompassing "online virtual world," and are mercilessly Dimensional Strike by a force they cannot comprehend.
Fuxi's smile grew increasingly enigmatic.
He looked at Lin Shen, who was circling the light screen of the "Reincarnation Metaverse" like a little fan, his eyes full of admiration, and his mind was completely clear.
He won.
It wasn't just that she won the Little Ancestor's favor.
More importantly, he successfully embedded his "destiny" and the great path of "painting" into the core of the entire underworld's operation.
From this day forward, the underworld will no longer be a cold transit point for reincarnation.
It is a magnificent content platform that allows billions of true spirits to engage in "secondary creation"!
And he, Fuxi, was the creator of this platform, the supreme... rule-maker!
Fuxi's "Metaverse" project, like a greedy giant shark, has stirred up the entire ocean of infrastructure construction in the underworld.
All the big shots have gone mad.
They no longer clung to their own little plot of land, but desperately tried to get on board Fuxi's big ship, binding their businesses to the "Metaverse"!
The Qiankun Food Sage was the first to awaken.
With a wave of his hand, a virtual chain restaurant called "The Taste of Reincarnation" instantly sprang up in major cities across the Metaverse.
The dead can enjoy "virtual food" made of data here. Although they don't feel full, they can gain all sorts of temporary buffs such as "strength +10%" and "intelligence +5%".
Want some real "Chicken Soup for the Soul"?
Can!
First, complete the daily tasks of "collecting one hundred praises" or "helping ten newcomers" in the Metaverse to redeem a valuable "physical cafeteria experience voucher"!
Zhurong and the other Ancestral Witch suddenly understood.
They are no longer a construction team!
They are the top dungeon designers in the "Metaverse"!
That restless fighting spirit and destructive urge transformed into boundless creative inspiration, which was poured into one challenging team dungeon after another.
The "Heart of Molten Fire," personally crafted by Zhurong, features a boss that is his own fiery incarnation. Defeating it has a chance to drop the virtual item "Zhurong's Skewer (Fire Resistance +5)."
Gonggong's "Endless Sea" is a huge underwater maze, and the reward for clearing it is a virtual item - "Gonggong's Bath Towel (extends underwater breathing time)".
These dungeons, filled with the Aesthetics of Violence of the Witch Clan and a touch of morbid humor, quickly became the most popular challenge in the Metaverse.
Even the notoriously arrogant Demon Emperor Di Jun, at Bai Ze's urging, reluctantly replicated a virtual "Demon Race Heavenly Court" in the Metaverse.
The "Myriad Stars Fantastical Parade" has been transformed into a daily event open for a limited time each day.
The dead can ride a virtual "Starlight Carousel" to experience the feeling of an emperor inspecting the celestial realm, while also accumulating massive amounts of "Merit Star" and "Experience Points".
In an instant, the entire ecosystem of the underworld was completely revitalized.
Offline physical experience, online virtual entertainment, seamlessly integrated.
The lives of the departed souls were more fulfilling and busy than ever before.
During the day, they enjoyed the Rapids Ride on the "River of Oblivion" and took photos at the "Bridge of Helplessness".
In the evenings, I log into "Metaverse," team up to run dungeons, and grind monsters to level up.
They seemed to have almost forgotten that they came here... to be reincarnated.
Three thousand years have quietly passed in this fervent and bizarre construction frenzy.
This day.
A city of reincarnation, which integrates the wisdom and selfishness of all the top beings in the Primordial World, has finally been initially completed and stands quietly above the Netherworld Sea of Blood.
It is no longer gloomy and terrifying.
It is a super multifunctional area integrating administration, adjudication, entertainment, social interaction, and creation!
The figure of Hongjun Daozu appeared silently in the sky above the underworld.
He looked down at the incredible city below, and even his usually calm and unwavering Dao Heart stirred with a sense of absurdity and amazement.
"Good."
In the end, all the emotions were reduced to a single word.
With a wave of his sleeve, a vast Daoist voice resounded throughout every corner of the underworld.
"The underworld is now established; it is time to exercise its powers."
"Today, we begin trial operation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk began to slowly rotate.
The first batch, tens of thousands of souls who had just perished on the Primordial Land, were drawn here by an invisible Jieyin and sent to the underworld.
Most of these departed souls were still filled with confusion and fear of death, living in a daze.
But when they stepped onto that well-planned "Yellow Springs Road," and saw the clear "guide map" and the gentle guiding light, they unconsciously began their "first experience in the underworld."
The soul of a vicious tiger that had wreaked havoc on the mountains and forests in its lifetime was enveloped in golden light emanating from the enormous golden abacus as soon as it stepped into the "Karma and Merit Settlement Center" of Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Splash!"
A series of ear-piercing noises rang out, and countless "Karma Black Mark" instantly appeared on its soul, so black they were shocking to behold.
At the top of the abacus, the verdict was coldly displayed in large, jewel-encrusted characters: [Welcome to the Hell Path, to suffer the torment of being boiled in oil for ten thousand years, with no right of appeal!]
The tiger demon was so frightened that its soul almost left its body. It let out a mournful howl and was dragged away by two blue-faced, fanged Ghost Messenger.
The soul of another kind-hearted person who had bestowed many blessings during his lifetime was illuminated by golden light.
"Jingle bells!"
A melodious sound rang out, and his soul emitted dazzling "little stars of merit," almost blinding the surrounding ghosts.
The judgment then stated: [Those who have accumulated outstanding merit can enter the heavenly realm and enjoy the blessings of celestial beings! Alternatively, they may choose to carry some of their merit with them and be reborn into the human realm, enjoying a lifetime of wealth and honor!]
The kind person was extremely grateful and chose to be reborn as a human to experience unprecedented glory.
Next, at the "Reincarnation Theme Park," they watched a "4D movie" of their entire life while screaming, gaining a direct understanding of their merits and demerits.
Finally, they entered Fuxi's "Reincarnation Metaverse".
Here, they gained new identities and began a new "second life".
The entire trial operation was smooth, efficient, and orderly, yet it also demonstrated humanistic (and commercial) care.
Hongjun Daozu nodded in satisfaction.
It's done.
This underworld is now complete.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Shen, who had experienced all the activities from beginning to end as a "super VIP player".
"Shen'er, what do you think of this new home?"
Lin Shen had just exited the "Metaverse," his little face still showing lingering excitement.
He tilted his little head, counted on his chubby little fingers, and began to give his "experience report".
"Brother Duobao's treasure vault is dazzling with gold, it's the most beautiful!"
"The soup in Brother Qiankun's canteen is the best!"
"Uncle Zhurong's rest room has the coldest Sour Plum Drink!"
"Grandpa Dragon's slide is the most exciting!"
"Aunt Yuanfeng's bridge is the most beautiful!"
"Uncle Primordial Kirin's Wishing Well is the most fun!"
"Uncle Fuxi's Metaverse we can play with for a very, very long time!"
He praised each project, bringing a satisfied, fatherly smile to all the bigwigs involved in the construction.
Just when everyone thought that this "project acceptance" would end happily for everyone.
Lin Shen suddenly changed the subject, a look of distress appearing on his small face.
"But..."
The single "but" sent all the bigwigs' hearts leaping into their throats.
Hongjun, also curious, leaned down and asked softly, "Oh? What's wrong?"
Lin Shen stretched out his chubby little finger and pointed to the "Karma and Merit Settlement Center," which was founded by Yuanshi Tianzun and was now shimmering with dazzling golden light.
He pouted and said in a childish voice, full of disdain:
"That big abacus is too noisy!"
"And besides, there isn't a single dancing figure on it!"
