Another two weeks have passed.
In the past two weeks, three major events have occurred in the world.
The first thing is that the Stone Stele Dreamscape has emerged, and people can read a novel called "Annoying, My Dream Has Become a TV Series!" on the Big Persimmon Website.
By selecting any chapter from Chapter 32 onwards, you can Dream Entry into the Stone Stele Dreamscape between 11:59 PM and 5:30 AM.
Within the Stone Stele Dreamscape, numerous monsters exist. By defeating these monsters, you can gain experience points, allowing you to level up and become stronger.
Once you reach the corresponding level, you can learn the Gold-Letter Skills.
These Gold-Letter Skills each have different effects, some are offensive, some are defensive, and some provide status buffs.
It can greatly increase players' strength and improve monster-killing efficiency.
The highest-level ordinary player has now reached level 11, mastered six Gold-Letter Skills, and can now solo all monsters up to level 10 in First Tier.
These are not the main points. The main point is that the levels and skills gained in the Stone Stele Dreamscape can be brought into the real world.
The number of players also skyrocketed from a few hundred to over 200 million in a very short period of time.
In this process, the official forces not only did not obstruct it, but also actively promoted the Stone Stele Dreamscape.
The first large number of players to enter the Stone Stele Dreamscape were the result of official efforts.
Soldier, Inspector, Special Inspector...
For the average player, reaching level 11 is already quite an achievement.
However, due to Ling Yi's special care, the average level of the official forces of the Ancient Country is above level 20, with the highest level reaching level 28.
Furthermore, the government has established a special Dream World Special Events Administration, abbreviated as DK.
DK will not only be responsible for dealing with those ungrateful fools in the real world who think they can be arrogant and reckless just because they have gained power.
It will also help Ling Yi manage the order of the Stone Stele Dreamscape.
In addition, the first condition for logging into the Stone Stele Dreamscape is to be Karmic Force.
Some players don't have Karmic Force at the beginning, but after gaining power, things can change.
Once Karmic Force is accumulated, one will completely lose the qualification to log in to the Stone Stele Dreamscape.
This is precisely why it greatly restricts players' behavior.
Even if there are conflicts, they will try their best to resolve them in the Stone Stele Dreamscape, rather than causing trouble in the real world.
Anyway, dying in the Stone Stele Dreamscape doesn't mean you're really dead.
In short, in just half a month, the Ancient Country entered a new era because of the Stone Stele Dreamscape.
Secondly, demons are no longer a secret; large numbers of demons are appearing frequently, and players have discovered that killing demons can yield massive amounts of experience points.
Killing a single demon is roughly equivalent to what they would earn from fighting through the Stone Stele Dreamscape all night.
Many players have even spontaneously formed demon-slaying teams to search for traces of evil spirits.
Players can generally solo ordinary demons, but for higher-level demons, players will team up to fight them.
If we encounter a powerful demon, we'll have to rely on official assistance.
The Great Demon's strength was actually only equivalent to that of a level 20 player.
With DK available, it's an easy win.
This resulted in a gradual reduction in the living space for a large number of evil spirits in the Ancient Country.
These evil spirits either hid deep in the Lin Zhong, not daring to show themselves, or simply fled the Ancient Country.
Thirdly, it's not just Ancient Country that have seen the emergence of demons; other countries have also experienced the appearance of their own native demons.
The biggest incident was that all 23,000 artifacts from the Ancient Country in the Great Eagle Museum came to Wisdom and transformed into Demon Spirit.
Now, with the Great Eagle wreaking havoc, the entire country is in chaos.
The Great Eagle is actively communicating with the Ancient Country in hopes of obtaining Ancient Country assistance.
However, the Ancient Country has not yet given a clear answer; they're just stalling for now.
When we asked you to return the items, you shamelessly made all sorts of excuses. Now you want them back? You're really trying to pull a fast one. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
You guys better suffer first!
Inside White Rainbow Residential Complex, Ling Yi sat on a bench, watching Chang E swinging back and forth on the swing, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Next to Ling Yi was Guanyin.
"The players' strength is increasing too fast; they've already escaped the control of the Heavenly Court and Spirit Mountain. This is not a good thing!" Guanyin frowned.
Seeing that Ling Yi remained silent, Guanyin continued, "If these players get out of control, it could be comparable to a Calamity. You should find a way to suppress their power."
Ling Yi glanced at her and suddenly asked, "I heard that the Heavenly Court is about to fall?"
Guanyin paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, the Heavenly Court was originally a supreme treasure, containing its own divine essence. Now that its energy is depleted, it naturally has to fall to the mortal realm."
" The Jade Emperor placed the Heavenly Court in Kunshan, but..."
After a pause, Guanyin continued, "However, the Jade Emperor doesn't intend to conceal the existence of the Heavenly Court and plans to bring Heavenly Court into existence. Therefore, the Jade Emperor will likely need to recruit some powerful players to join the Heavenly Court."
"This will strengthen the Heavenly Court."
Ling Yi nodded. The Jade Emperor's approach was clever, but whether it could be implemented depended on the intentions of the Ancient Country's officials.
In other words, the Heavenly Court can only accept people if the authorities agree; otherwise, it might lead to conflict.
The Heavenly Court is not Heavenly Court it used to be; now, only Heavenly Court Legend reputation remains.
In terms of sheer strength, the Heavenly Court is no match for the Ancient Country's official government.
Especially after the Heavenly Court landed, not to mention the players, even strategic weapons couldn't withstand it.
If the Jade Emperor is wise, then cooperating with the Heavenly Court's legacy and the Ancient Country's official authorities would be the best option.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would be in serious trouble.
Ultimately, it's because players are improving their strength too quickly.
In comparison, Spirit Mountain's approach was much Old Liu.
The Buddha Tathagata numerous Buddhas into the world specifically to find players with "brain drain" (or, according to the Tathagata, to Conversion ).
However, the results were not ideal.
The funniest thing is that any player who gets brainwashed by Spirit Mountain will accumulate Karmic Force and lose the right to log in to the Soul Realm.
This greatly angered the Tathagata.
He even once thought that Ling Yi was behind it all.
In reality, this had nothing to do with Ling Yi Ling Yi, and he didn't quite understand why.
It's just amazing.
Moreover, with so many Buddhas appearing in the world, the Ancient Country's officials had long been keeping an eye on them, Yinyin defining these Buddhas as villains.
Tathagata wanted to become the Old Liu, so he secretly gathered players together.
But after all that trouble, not only did he not gain any benefit, he also ended up in an awkward situation.
Ling Yi wanted to laugh every time he thought about it.
Guanyin sighed and said, " Ling Yi, are we friends?"
Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, "That's fine!"
Ling Yi's meaning was clear: whether it's right or wrong isn't up to me; it depends on what you do.
" Tathagata Buddha is ambitious and scheming. He was once a pawn of the Two Sages of the West, but now he wants to be the one playing the game. Unfortunately, times have changed."
Guanyin sighed, somewhat wistfully, "If one cannot recognize the situation, the final outcome will likely be dire. Moreover, I suspect that this Tathagata has already entered Calamity."
Ling Yi was taken aback and asked, "You mean, the Great Dao is going to cause trouble?"
Guanyin glanced at Ling Yi in surprise, not expecting Ling Yi to think of this so quickly.
"The Buddha's Tathagata actions and thoughts are remarkably similar to those during the Journey to the West Calamity. Remember, the Buddha is Tathagata all, a being who came from the Primordial World era."
Having experienced almost every Calamity, they have long since seen through the essence of all things and could not possibly be unaware of the situation.
"And now, the only thing that can influence the Tathagata's actions Tathagata is probably the Great Dao that sealed the Primordial World outside of Chaos."
Ling Yi chuckled and said, " The Great Dao, tsk tsk, will eventually annihilate her existence."
The primordial Chaos is the ultimate Primordial Chaos good, because the Chaos and the Primordial Chaos do not give rise to conscious self.
They represent the supreme rules. If they were to develop a conscious self, they would most likely end up like the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao, destroying the Primordial World for their own selfish reasons.
Guanyin glanced at Ling Yi in surprise; it was simply unbelievable that Ling Yi could say such a thing.
As expected, Ling Yi was hiding a lot; he probably had a plan all along.
After a pause, Ling Yi said to Guanyin, "Go and make a trip to the Great Eagle's place and bring back those 23,000-plus cultural relic Demon Spirit."
"But don't use force; wait until they've vented their anger before you speak."
Guanyin frowned. "They're just some Demon Spirit. Can't we just annihilate their souls and consciousness and bring their physical bodies back?"
"The demon's Obsession too deep; if this Obsession isn't eradicated, it will be very difficult to control."
Ling Yi stood up, stretched, and said, "You don't understand. Their Obsession is simply wanting to go home. I'll have the authorities here prepare for their arrival."
Although Guanyin did not know the meaning behind Ling Yi's Ling Yi, she would do as he said.
"Okay, I'll leave this afternoon!"
"That would be troublesome!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he waved to Chang E and said, "Sister, go back and cook!"
Chang E jumped off the swing and gracefully landed beside Ling Yi, Yanran she asked, "What would you like to eat for lunch?"
"I don't care!"
"It doesn't matter, how about cooking instant noodles?"
"No matter how indifferent you are, you can't just make do with instant noodles!"
"I've researched a new approach covering all aspects..."
Watching Ling Yi and Chang E's departing the Back, Guanyin shook her head, feeling quite envious.
Late at night, Ling Yi sat cross-legged.
A flash of golden light enveloped him, Ling Yi's consciousness entered the Soul Realm.
There weren't many players near the Stone Stele Safe Zone.
Most players went out to grind monsters, since killing one more monster meant becoming stronger, and nobody wanted to waste time.
Thanks to the exploration of countless players, the area of the Soul Realm that has been explored is now quite large.
The stone tablet is surrounded by a dry riverbed.
Like a moat, it enclosed the Stone Stele Safe Zone.
Along the riverbed, there are more than a dozen abandoned mountain villages, just like the abandoned mountain village that Ling Yi explored at the beginning.
Further north lies a desolate desert, stretching for an unknown distance, and still unexplored by players.
To the west lay a forest, but the grass trees were withered, not a trace of green in sight, and the mountain range stretched endlessly, its length unknown.
Nowadays, most players are grinding monsters in this mountain forest.
The south is a Volcano, the smallest area to explore, partly because the environment is too harsh and the temperature too hot for most people to stay in for long.
Another issue is that the monsters here are of very high level, including some Second Tier monsters.
In the east, green cesium finally appeared. The further east you go, the more grass there is, and even valleys and lakes appear.
However, there are still not many players grinding monsters here.
Within this lake dwells a Third Tier monster, and players can only hunt it on the outer perimeter, daring not to approach within a kilometer's radius of the lake.
However, Ling Yi believed that as players' strength continued to improve, these monsters would eventually turn into experience points for the players.
The Fourth Scourge isn't called that for nothing.
