The Flood That Returned After Everyone Swore They Wouldn't Secretly Log In, Drowning Everyone

The first Great Flood struck.

The fury on the forums burned for three days and three nights without showing any signs of dying down.

The flood submerged the entire New Primordial Wilderness—and drowned all the players' patience with it!

What did it mean to drown in the game?

It meant the Spirit Stones you had spent hundreds of thousands, even millions, of years saving up.

The sect hall you had built brick by brick.

The spiritual fields you and your Dao companion had cultivated together for countless years.

The magical treasure fragments you had fought for at auctions.

All the Daoxing you had accumulated through meditation atop Divine Mountains while risking being crushed by their pressure—all of it was reset to zero.

Not frozen. Reset to zero. Cleanly wiped out, without even leaving behind a splash!!!

Some people logged back in after drowning.

They opened their inventory screens and stared at those rows of gray empty slots.

After a long silence, they made a forum post: Where did the stuff in my inventory go? What about the Spirit Stones I saved for all those years? What about my sect hall?

Someone replied below: Swept away by the flood.

He replied again: If the flood swept them away, there should at least be a corpse, right? I can't even find a corpse.

Someone else replied: You died too. What corpse are you looking for?

For a while, the replies under that post turned into a competition over who had it worse.

Someone said he had just forged a Houtian Spiritual Treasure and had not even gotten the chance to use it before the flood soaked it into scrap iron.

Someone said he had just married a Dao companion, and before they could even consummate the marriage, both of them drowned in
