Jiang Ming's encounter on the coast was shared by many players who had been enjoying the sea view along the East Sea.

At the time, a player recorded a video and posted it on the Omnipotent God forum, and some even activated the new platform's live-streaming feature to broadcast the monster battle at the edge of the horizon.

[Live Stream: A monster battle more stunning and shocking than a movie, come watch it now!]

Thread Starter: Meow Meow Fist

Content:

As an explorer, I've managed to map 34.6% of Dragon Scale Island lately. I've recently had some new ideas and planned to see the outside world, especially the legendary Sun-Eroding Island, which I haven't visited yet.

However, the game shop hasn't updated to include sailing tools or special units capable of crossing the sea, so this Meow decided to craft a raft myself.

Cutting down trees these past few days has completely exhausted me.

Just today, this Meow finally finished the raft and prepared to set sail, only to see this scene.

(Live Stream ID: XXXXX)

Meow Meow Fist was one of the more well-known players in the Omnipotent God community.

The exploration maps she shared had helped players find many new resource points, easing the crisis of resource shortages and resolving quite a few conflicts.

So, shortly after she posted the live stream thread, a large number of curious players clicked on it, wanting to see what fun things this explorer had discovered in the game this time.

After reading the description in the thread and clicking the live stream link, the scene instantly switched into the game.

Unlike a movie, the players entering the stream discovered that they had appeared directly inside the game, rather than watching the broadcast in a 2D format.

At the same time, a roar that shook the heavens in the distance immediately drew their attention.

One red and one blue, like two Heaven-Propping behemoths standing at the edge of the horizon, they collided from time to time, tearing through space and pulling out countless fine spatial cracks that healed just as quickly.

The aftermath of the airflow generated by the battle turned into a gale that swept toward the shore, as if it were the end of the world.

This scene left the viewers stunned.

"Holy crap, this is too strong. If they hit Dragon Scale Island with that, wouldn't we all just drop dead?"

"I used to think the White Ape King was incredibly strong, but now that I see these two monsters, I realize I was wrong. This is the real big boss!"

"My god, gods fighting! With one slap, space actually cracked. Too brutal!"

"This should count as top-tier combat power in Omnipotent God, right? Can we cultivate such powerful units in the future? So looking forward to it!"

"If I could kill one of these monsters and collect its soul, could I walk sideways in this game?"

"Replying to the guy above: not just walk sideways, you could walk backward too (funny.jpg)"

Through the live stream shared by Meow Meow Fist on the forum, players watched this heart-shaking monster battle from a first-person perspective, flooding the chat with comments and shouting how satisfying it was.

Knowing that such terrifying creatures existed in the game, many players felt an urge to tame them.

Even though they knew it wasn't realistic.

But they were already prepared to spend a lifetime conquering this game; they had plenty of time.

If one year wasn't enough, then five; if five wasn't enough, then ten.

They felt that as long as they kept playing, they would eventually obtain such powerful strength.

This battle left the players burning with excitement and full of fighting spirit.

However, the players' attention was soon drawn to the abnormal situation on the sea surface.

A massive school of fish surged toward the shore, then leaped out of the water and onto the land.

Meow Meow Fist, who was standing on the shore, was slapped to death by a series of tail strikes while completely bewildered.

Seeing this, the players in the stream burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, streamer, you're too miserable! You actually got slapped to death by a fish tail. I'm dying of laughter (Tip: 1 Divine Power)"

"Thread starter, you're too poor. You didn't buy any equipment and are still wearing linen clothes. No wonder you died after a few tail strikes. Here's some funding (Tip: 2 Divine Power)"

"Why are these fish so fierce? Even without equipment, you shouldn't be slapped to death in a few hits, right? I think there's something fishy going on!"

The live stream screen gradually dimmed after the player Meow Meow Fist died, eventually turning black.

But in the live chat box, the viewers were still discussing.

The topic shifted from the behemoths to the school of fish.

Just then, a player posted a screenshot in the chat box.

"I'm on the coast too, it's so exciting here. Let me show you a stat screenshot (Bone-Eating Fish.jpg)"

With the appearance of this chat image, the players who were still laughing instantly exploded.

"Holy crap, this fish is worth that much? Damn, I'm logging in right now, I'm coming!"

"Damn, a single fish is worth 400 Divine Power? Then with so many fish on the shore, how much is that worth? I'm coming, nobody move!"

"Why are you all focused on Divine Power? This fish grants permanent stats when consumed! And what's even more insane is that it gives Soul Power too. Soul Power is even scarcer than Divine Power right now, okay?!"

After a brief moment of madness, the livestream chat went instantly quiet.

Realizing that a chance to strike it rich was right before their eyes, the players logged in one after another and bolted toward the East Sea, ready to enter "money-grabbing mode."

The stat description of the Spirit Fish was simply too tempting.

Even if they didn't use it themselves, they could make a fortune selling it.

Since the Trading House opened recently, the price of Divine Power hadn't dropped; instead, it had skyrocketed.

Aside from a few delusional listings where people tried to sell 1 Divine Power for 999,999 cash, every normal—or even slightly overpriced—listing for Divine Power was instantly snatched up by the game's wealthy whales.

Because consumption of Divine Power far outpaced production, it was a strictly scarce commodity in the game; having money didn't guarantee you could buy it.

That was why the players went wild the moment they saw the value of the Spirit Fish.

Just as the players were swarming toward the East Sea.

On the southeast side of Dragon Scale Island.

A mass of dark clouds was slowly approaching the island, and countless black shadows could be vaguely seen writhing and entwining within them.

"Are you certain the school of fish fled toward Dragon Scale Island?"

A low, rumbling inquiry emerged from the black mist, and a hideous Yaksha face surfaced from within the gloom.

"My senses cannot be wrong. The escaped school of fish is definitely in the direction of Dragon Scale Island." Another Yaksha face emerged from the black mist.

"Don't mess this up. This batch of Spirit Fish is to be offered to our Master; no mistakes will be tolerated!"

"I understand!"

As the words fell, both Yaksha faces vanished back into the black mist.

The dark clouds churned, picking up speed as they swept rapidly across the sea, their target set directly on the east coast of Dragon Scale Island.
