In the game forum, North Underworld Has Rain couldn't suppress his urge to show off. Although he knew this game was unusual, in such a short time, he hadn't yet corrected his old ways of thinking.

He quickly posted: "Shocking Secret, First Testers Hurry In, It's Actually This Era!"

He deliberately didn't specify in the title. In fact, all the forum sections were going crazy. Any post with "Primordial World" as a hot topic was practically flooded with replies, and every post from a first-test player was being marked as essential and pinned to the top!

Secretly, many official staff members were lurking in the forum, and even important figures had begun directly assigning people to take over the game's backend, wanting to find the specific identities of this batch of first-test players.

They even wanted to find the game's release address!

Unfortunately, they were destined to gain nothing. Outer forces also sensed the brewing storm and began clicking on the game, attempting to obtain entry qualifications.

North Underworld Has Rain's post, just one minute after it was published, was pushed to the homepage. Many people knew this was a second batch of players who had managed to get qualifications!

Phoenix Strike: Big shot, what great discoveries have you made? Hurry up and tell us, don't keep us in suspense!

Endless Demon Soldiers: I'm starting to suspect this game was truly created by gods. I'll believe anything you say now, even if you brought game items into reality, I don't think it would be half a lie!

North Underworld Has Rain: I just managed to get qualifications. Adhering to a "cowardly" attitude, I traveled through mountains and rivers, trying to find an NPC I could communicate with, to figure out what era it is, how far the plot has progressed, and whether I can get a main quest.

I walked and stopped, avoiding powerful monsters, and ate strange flowers and exotic fruits.

As he spoke, North Underworld Has Rain began to slowly upload one ultra-clear picture after another. Towering giant beasts appeared in everyone's eyes. There was even a towering pillar, countless meters high. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a single thigh!

They couldn't help but sigh, truly worthy of being the mythical world of the Primordial World, where such unscientific super-beasts could appear.

In fact, when North Underworld Has Rain encountered this super-beast, he didn't even dare to look at it too much.

Just thinking about how, with a single glance, he could only see one of its thighs, how vast was the difference? He probably would have been crushed to death if it had just moved a little.

One by one, mouth-watering fruits that looked fresh and juicy appeared before everyone. At this moment, countless sounds of swallowing could be heard from the other side of the screen.

Nine Heavens European Immortal: Wait, why does the red fruit in this picture look a bit like the legendary Vermillion Fruit? Could you have encountered the rare Vermillion Fruit that's hard to find in a thousand years?

North Underworld Has Rain chuckled twice and quickly replied:

Heh, more than just Vermillion Fruit. Many rare treasures you didn't recognize have entered my belly, and that's just a minor thing. The real bombshell is coming!

Cute Piglet: Hurry up and tell us! Hearing that a big scoop is coming, I even logged out of the game to check. Do you know how much money I've lost in these few minutes? Maybe I've already joined Laojun's sect in the Primordial World by now!

Game Zhang: That's right, we first-test players specifically logged off, not to listen to you brag. Who hasn't seen these things?

Lowering my head, the ground is already covered with all sorts of colorful fruits. I'm almost sick of eating them!

Xiao Lin: Seconded. You have no idea how much pressure I'm under right now! People are specifically guarding me outside while I play the game!

Seeing that the first-test players were getting impatient, North Underworld couldn't hold back his big move anymore. He excitedly licked his dry lips, unleashing the speed of a man who had been single for over twenty years.

North Underworld Has Rain: I don't know how long I walked, but I finally encountered a humanoid NPC. Although I don't know if I can attack him, I feel like I probably can't beat him.

Besides, my priority now is to gather information, so I immediately struck up a conversation with him, asking him what year it was.

Cute Piglet: I (╬▔皿▔)╯, finally encountered an intelligent NPC! The big news is coming! Let's see what time it is and find the main quest.

Game Zhang: North Underworld is truly lucky. Our group has wandered for so long, encountering all sorts of bizarre and strange giant beasts that challenge imagination and completely defy evolutionary theory, but we haven't met a single humanoid monster!

North Underworld Has Rain: This NPC looked very friendly and was very intelligent, completely unlike a computer-generated character. He was just like a real person.

Nine Heavens European Immortal: Perhaps he's not data, but a real person? After all, this game is addictive, and the producer might be a god!

Cute Piglet: Don't get sidetracked, North Underworld, hurry up and tell us! I'm waiting to go back into the game to cultivate immortality!

North Underworld Has Rain: Everyone, prepare yourselves. I asked the NPC, has Sun Wukong been born yet? Or is Nuwa creating humans?

He actually told me he had never heard of the great goddess Nuwa, but he did know about a mad monkey a long time ago. I thought it was before the Havoc in Heaven incident, but unexpectedly, he then told me that Pangu had only recently opened the heavens and earth! So it turns out it's the early days of the Primordial World, where Golden Immortals are less valuable than dogs, and Taiyi are everywhere in this crazy era!

The strange flowers and exotic fruits we encountered on the road are the most precious Spiritual Objects, something that later Immortals can only dream of!

Even various supreme treasures haven't appeared yet. Basically, if you pick something up from the ground, it's an Innate Treasure!!

Cute Piglet: Holy crap, it really is big news! It's the beginning of creation, isn't that the best period?

If you just casually mingle, you can reach Grand Unity strength, and there are countless Innate Magic Treasures. The Saints haven't even appeared yet, so it's not the time for them to harvest treasures from all over the world!

Xiao Lin: Truly super big news! It's the best period. Everyone, cherish your lives. This opportunity is absolutely unique. Saints haven't appeared yet, so perhaps we can contend for the position of Saint ourselves!

Game Zhang: To appear at such a great time! Let alone the position of Saint, I'm coming for the supreme position of Dao Ancestor!

Hongjun can sit there, and so can I. Hongjun is probably still hiding and cultivating on Jade Capital Mountain. I'm heading east right now. I'm destined to be the Dao Ancestor!

Xiao Bai: Holy cow, Old Zhang, wait for me! Let's go east together, find Jade Capital Mountain, and kill Hongjun first to snatch his Jade Plate of Creation! I estimate you can't beat this old schemer alone.

Game Zhang: Okay, okay, another fellow Daoist! Let's head east together. Whoever finds Jade Capital Mountain first will log off and notify everyone. We'll all attack together and take down this future Dao Ancestor first!

Cute Piglet: I just remembered, the most powerful Innate Supreme Treasures, the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, I don't know if they've fallen into Hongjun's hands yet. But the Chaos Bell is definitely on the Solar Star!

This is a supreme Innate Treasure! Even later Saints will covet it. Whoever can reach the heavens and the sun will truly strike it rich!

Ji Lao Jiang: Haha, didn't expect this, did you! I've actually reincarnated as a flying bird! I can fly to the sky and be shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun!

Chaos Bell, I'm coming for you! Eastern Emperor Taiyi, it's best if I don't see you, I'm going to devour you alive!

The position of Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race, I'm going to sit in it too!

Cute Piglet: Damn it, there's actually a mutated beast reincarnated as a flying bird! Will the Chaos Bell really fall into his hands? Then what's the point of us playing?

The onlookers continuously spammed the chat, marveling at how much inside information North Underworld Has Rain had revealed, bringing out so many players from the first closed beta.

Game Zhang: "Right, at the beginning of the world's creation, the human-shaped animals that could transform were no simple beings. Perhaps they were great divine powers from later generations. Do you know who he is?"

North Underworld Has Rain replied with a chuckle: "I asked him before he left, and I think his name was Yang Mei. I guess he's some kind of Yang Mei tree spirit, probably the first Yang Mei tree in existence. (Silly smile emoji)"

As he said this, North Underworld Has Rain uploaded a screenshot he had secretly taken.

Everyone eagerly opened it and saw a person of tall stature, dressed in green robes, exuding an immortal aura, standing in the center of the image.

His green eyebrows were exceptionally long, swaying like willow branches.

His eyes seemed to sense North Underworld Has Rain secretly taking the photo, and he even glanced in the direction of the camera.

Everyone froze for a moment, falling into silence.

North Underworld Has Rain: "Why is everyone quiet? Don't you think this Daoist Yang Mei is quite handsome? And he has a really good temper.

It's a shame I haven't heard his name in Investiture of the Gods or Journey to the West. He must have perished long ago in later generations."

Game Zhang weakly chimed in: "As far as I know, there's a great deity not mentioned in the orthodox myths whose name is Yang Mei, also known as Great Immortal Yang Mei.

His true form is said to be a Chaos Hollow Willow Tree, not a Yang Mei tree. He once competed with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and Dao Ancestor was no match for him. He is very likely a creature from Chaos from the same era as Great God Pangu, and could be considered the foremost expert in Chaos after Pangu's demise."

Cute Piglet: "Holy crap."

Xiao Lin: "Holy crap."

Lesbian Sauce: "Holy crap."

North Underworld Has Rain, on the other side of the screen, was completely stunned. "What? Great Immortal Yang Mei? Not a Yang Mei tree? He's even more powerful than Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"

He realized belatedly that he might have missed a tremendous opportunity. North Underworld Has Rain dazedly typed on his keyboard:

"The first sentence he spoke seemed to vaguely mention that he came from Chaos."

Please vote for recommendations, it's a shame not to every day.
