Spy Undercover War, Smurfs Run Amok

Feng Xi assembled his troops and selected his generals, gathering his men to embark on a grand endeavor.

It was a brand-new game he had never played before. Upon arriving, it only took him three minutes to become utterly engrossed, unable to pull himself away.

It was about learning through play, embodying the principles of cultivation within the game, arranging roles like emperor, ministers, assistants, and subordinates... Ostensibly, it was about an emperor managing a nation, governing internally and expanding territory externally. In reality, it was a special method for the true spirit to maintain focus, integrating and controlling the will of the spirit and soul to command the divine abilities and magical powers within the body, thereby participating in the Great Dao.

Combined with the stimulation of sensory input and subtle techniques that created illusions of space and time, it felt like a peculiar dream, with time warping thousands upon thousands of times... A day's effort was equivalent to decades or even centuries of arduous cultivation and refinement.

Furthermore, with hundreds of thousands of small teams participating, their auras either merging or opposing each other, each person's magical attributes simulated the universe, evolving into a grand furnace of heaven and earth, tempering each other's true spirit and Dao nature... This collective cultivation, with mutual complementarity and enhancement, was hundreds of times more efficient than individual solitary practice!

And if any team could defeat all their opponents and emerge victorious, that extreme tempering, that exhilarating and unyielding triumph, would be a tremendous catalyst for the advancement and sublimation of their character!

Therefore, after three consecutive days and three consecutive major victories, Feng Xi had completely mastered the magical powers and divine abilities bestowed by the Ancestral Witch, as if he himself were a True Immortal who had cultivated through countless tribulations, without any flaws or unstable foundations.

His current progress placed him among the most outstanding of his batch within the Witch Clan.

There were only a few million others comparable to him.

Of course, to achieve such success, besides his personal inexplicable sense of familiarity with this game, as if he had developed it before and forgotten, his instincts retained faint traces, leading to bursts of inspiration at critical moments and allowing him to escape perilous situations...

He also had to thank his formidable teammates!

This was the least disappointing online friendship Feng Xi had ever experienced in his life.

Jun, Boyang, Zixiu, Jiran, Yuchen, Lilu, Qingxuan, Darong, Qiongsang – they were all god-tier teammates!

A powerful alliance, enabling them to roam freely!

These ten prominent figures swept through Houtu Department Zone 1404, destroying anyone they encountered, acting with such overbearing dominance that the other witches could only seethe in anger, afraid to speak out.

The Ancestral Witch Houtu, upon learning of this during her leisure time, casually observed these ten individuals. She paused slightly on a few of them before smiling serenely, "Very good."

"Our Witch Clan needs such brave and resourceful young men... After all, they will be the ones fighting on the battlefield in the future."

"However, such arrogance and disregard for others is also inappropriate."

"One must know that there are always people better than you, and heavens beyond heavens."

"Learn humility, and know the importance of steady progress."

"So, how should we handle this?" Dayi, the steward of Houtu's department, asked his leader, his eyes gleaming.

"First, give them some rewards... As victors, they deserve commendation," Houtu said nonchalantly. "I am very fair and reasonable."

"In addition to ordinary material resource rewards, I will also allow them to come before me... I will lower my cultivation to their level to guide and train them."

"Give them a harsh lesson from society... oh no, let them understand the principle that 'excessive pride leads to downfall, while modesty brings benefit'..."

"Let them cast aside their spiritual pride and impatience, and improve themselves with solid effort."

Dayi listened to her words, somewhat astonished.

"Why would a few younglings require your personal attention?" he asked, bowing slightly. "You are incredibly busy, handling all matters of the Human Dao... Such a minor issue can be handled by your subordinates."

"You..." Houtu suddenly smiled and shook her head. "It's not entirely safe."

"I fear you might make a misstep and capsize in a ditch."

"How could that be?" Dayi was taken aback. "Even if I lower my cultivation to the same level, my experience is thousands of times greater than theirs... My perspective and knowledge won't change, how could I lose?"

"Only a Grand Unity can defeat a Grand Unity..." He suddenly realized, his mouth twitching violently. "Could it be?"

His eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Dayi lowered his voice, making a gesture across his throat with one hand. "Those who come with ill intentions are not good people. Should your subordinate..."

"It's unnecessary..." Houtu waved her hand. "Grand Unity beings can manifest into trillions of avatars, scattering their small accounts throughout history and the future... Killing one is of no consequence."

"Moreover, some have been exposed, but who knows how many are lurking in the shadows?"

"What's more, some are simply pawns, used to mislead our sight."

"For example, if someone is clearly Zhang San, but uses Li Si's name for their alternate account, would you then vent your anger on Li Si?"

"Everyone is pretending to understand while feigning ignorance... No one has the standing to accuse the other," Houtu yawned. "Take me, for instance, I'm considering infiltrating the higher echelons of the Demon Clan!"

Dayi was speechless.

"Grand Unity beings make their moves, each with their own plans,"

"Some come as spies, to sow discord and specialize in destruction; others are actually hedging their bets, establishing an industry within our Witch Clan." Ancestral Witch Houtu smiled playfully. "If the Demon Clan is ruined, they'll simply switch allegiance and re-emerge with their alternate accounts within the Witch Clan, continuing to play happily."

"This is the game of Grand Unity beings."

"The former, we must target and suppress; the latter, we must strive to win over as much as possible... turning these fence-sitters into bystanders, and preventing them from hindering our great cause."

"Of course, regardless of the situation, a warning or two is indispensable."

"Don't let them get too carried away!"

"Ancestral Witch, your insight is profound!" Dayi exclaimed with admiration. "Drawing a red line like this, establishing rules, is enough to warn those with intentions."

"Precisely," Houtu accepted her subordinate's flattery without reservation. "Since their alternate accounts use Witch Clan identities, they should do what a Witch Clan member is supposed to do."

"They can fish in troubled waters, put in minimal effort, but absolutely must not stir up trouble!"

"If they get too carried away, I will personally intervene and destroy their main accounts!"

Ancestral Witch Houtu's killing intent flared, exuding an aura of looking down upon the world.

This was absolute confidence in her own strength, as if the vast Primordial Era held very few beings who were qualified to be her opponent.

Dayi had no doubts about it.

"I'll go down and make the arrangements," he said, bowing. "Do you need to widely publicize their rewards?"

"That's natural," Houtu replied with a faint smile. "Let them make the information push on the Witch Clan's internal network a headline story."

"Those who don't understand the inside story will be envious and have brand new motivation."

"And those who do understand the inside story? They'll behave themselves and keep a low profile as Witches."

"Congratulations to all of you!"

The ten prominent figures from Houtu Department Zone 1404 received congratulations from a staff member of the Witch Clan's personnel department.

"To receive the attention of an Ancestral Witch... you'll surely soar to great heights from now on!"

"Thank you for your kind words! Thank you for your kind words!" Feng Xi beamed with joy, his face blooming into a smile.

The others beside him were also smiling, but their smiles... were a bit forced.
