Seeing North Underworld Has Rain's timid reply, everyone fell silent. The next moment, North Underworld Has Rain did not even have time to brag!
He hurriedly logged in to see whether Great Immortal Yang Mei was still there. Even if he had to cry and cling to his thigh, he would make him accept him as a disciple!
At the very least, he could bestow a few Innate Magic Treasures upon him. With such a great expert protecting him in the future, he would not even fear Saints!
The first beta players quickly entered "Myriad Worlds: Primordial." Now that they knew when it was, it would be easy to stir up trouble!
As the saying went, the bolder a man was, the greater the harvest. This was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity—if they did not risk it now, when would they?
In Jiang Ping's eyes, a hundred players entered the game with bloodshot eyes. Jiang Ping smiled. "Play however you like, but you only have one chance. Your fate is in your own hands!"
"Waaah!"
After logging in, North Underworld Has Rain burst into loud sobs like a child!
Although he was not far from where he had logged out, he searched for a long time but could not find Great Immortal Yang Mei anywhere!
"Once, a golden thigh was right before me, and I failed to hug it!" North Underworld Has Rain blamed himself.
But who could have expected the first NPC he encountered to be such a terrifying big shot?
After wiping away his tears, he began to identify his bearings. Before long, he headed east. That was right—he also planned to search for Jade Capital Mountain!
The moment Xiao Zhang logged in, he began gathering everything his eyes could see.
"This is the Beginning of Creation. Heavenly treasures are everywhere for the taking. In the future, I'll be a super-rich man!"
He was not the only one with that idea. Nobody was stupid. Since they had appeared at such a perfect time, failing to dig up every last inch of land would be letting themselves down!
A dark line appeared on Jiang Ping's forehead. "These environmental destroyers. This is My Mythical World—how can I let you ruin it as you please?"
A group of players looted like excavators. Clearly, they did not recognize any treasures, yet they kept muttering, "This is Innate Earth Element. This is Innate Wood Element."
When Xiao Zhang saw a pitch-black stone, his eyes lit up. "This stone definitely isn't ordinary. It might be a Chaos Stubborn Stone that survived the catastrophe of creation!"
As he spoke, he could not resist cupping it in both hands. Unexpectedly, the moment he touched it, his hands sank into it, and a foul smell wafted out~~
"Fuck, which bastard took a dump here? It's so black—he must have been malnourished!"
Xiao Zhang violently shook his hands, afraid the filth would get on him, then walked away cursing.
"Hahaha!"
Watching the players' antics at home, Jiang Ping could not help laughing. These players were not doing anything proper. They were now stripping the land bare like a swarm of locusts, and they had finally suffered for it.
One player who was scavenging was still tirelessly digging through the earth when a Violent Fierce Beast suddenly spotted him.
With a single charge, it sent the player flying. "Who ambushed me? It hurts to death!"
The player cursed furiously. The game's pain settings could be adjusted, and for the sake of immersion, he had turned his up a little.
When he saw the beast's blood-red eyes, he cried out inwardly. He felt that his life would soon be over!
Players reincarnated as Primordial Alien Species, and their innate strength was not weak. But this was their first time, and they did not know how to use their power. They could only fight with brute instinct. How could they possibly defeat a beast that innately understood combat?
"My Innate treasures, my fortuitous encounter!"
The next second, darkness filled his vision. He had already died and logged out, unable to log in again.
The Violent Fierce Beast curiously examined the many spiritual items that had dropped after the player's death. As it watched, it slowly began eating them.
In a corner of the earth, a Four Unlike stood as though it held up the heavens. Its eyes swept across the surroundings as it declared domineeringly:
"Hongjun, you're finished! With me, Meng Tun, here, the position of Dao Ancestor will never be yours!"
Far away, Hongjun, who was reconstructing his true body within Jade Capital Mountain, shuddered. "Why does this humble Daoist have such an ominous feeling?"
He frowned and began calculating. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao was still incomplete, and the Heavenly Secrets were unclear. A Shattered Jade Disc floated above Hongjun's head. The jade disc bore the dark hue of the Heavenly Dao and recorded Three Thousand Great Daos. Though shattered, it still contained endless mysteries.
It was precisely with the help of the Jade Plate of Creation that Hongjun shed his cricket-like body, fused with Primordial Qi, and forged the strongest Dao Foundation.
Players existed outside the Three Realms and were not within the Five Elements. Even with the Jade Plate of Creation, Hongjun could not clearly determine what was happening. He could only vaguely sense threads of malice drawing near!
He could only suppress his unease and continue cultivating. He was no longer as weak as he had been in the chaos, and strands of Great Dao aura flowed from the Jade Plate of Creation.
They merged into his primordial spirit, while the Pangu Banner and Taiji Diagram floated at either side of it!
Not long after creation, the world's path of cultivation remained unclear. Hongjun was also exploring the path of cultivation. With the Jade Plate of Creation, Great Dao runes continuously flowed through his Heart Field, and he gradually discovered a path:
Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, Refining Void into Dao!
In finer divisions: mortals → immortals → Hunyuan Level (Saints) → Heavenly Dao Level!
As for whether there was a Great Dao Level or an even higher realm beyond the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun did not yet know.
"Perhaps there are unimaginable realms beyond the Heavenly Dao."
Hongjun thought of this. For some reason, at that moment, he recalled the time before the endless chaos, deep within his soul, when his consciousness had been hazy.
It seemed that an inconceivable existence had gently tossed him out and sent him to this world.
Whether it was real or false, illusion or truth, Hongjun still could not figure it out. "If such an inconceivable existence truly exists, then perhaps it can only be called:
Dao!"
Hongjun finally reached that conclusion. Then, his mind sank into the Jade Plate of Creation once more as he roamed the void and carefully comprehended the path of cultivation.
Outside, Jiang Ping calmly watched Hongjun cultivate. "As expected of someone with great fortune. He discovered a path of cultivation so quickly, though it is still quite crude."
How much effort would it take to make a Cultivation Method from fantasy appear in reality?
With the Jade Plate of Creation, Hongjun had already developed a prototype. Though it was still crude, it would eventually shine brilliantly millions of years later. What Hongjun might not know was that while he researched it, the fortune in the nether was fully assisting him!
Naturally, Jiang Ping had secretly intervened. The sooner the path of cultivation was developed, the sooner the Primordial World could experience an explosive rise, and he could also try cultivating in reality.
"But now that Hongjun has reached this point, these players' plans will probably fall through!"
Jiang Ping smiled as he watched the players continuously stream toward the eastern region.
The players called themselves the Fourth Catastrophe. What earth-shattering events would they cause after descending upon the Primordial World this time? Jiang Ping waited and watched.
At this moment, aside from the many players heading east to prepare for a siege on Dao Ancestor Hongjun, another player was preparing spiritual fruits. He gently moved his wings and rubbed his round belly.
"These idiots are actually planning to besiege Dao Ancestor? Is Hongjun really that easy to kill?
He's a super NPC. I even suspect he'll become the system's spokesperson. Even if he doesn't, with the many supreme treasures Hongjun possesses, he could easily wipe them all out. I'm the smart one."
He chuckled foolishly, letting out chirps. "Eastern Emperor Taiyi is still being nurtured and has not yet entered the world. The Chaos Bell is practically mine for the taking! Solar Star, here I come!"
Gazing at the vast red sun above, Ji Lao could not help roaring. The allure of an Innate Supreme Treasure was enormous—enough for him to gamble everything on it!
What's more, if he was lucky enough to devour the Three-legged Golden Crow, perhaps he, Ji Lao Jiang, could even sit upon the throne of the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race!
"The Heavenly Emperor changes hands every year—this year, it's my turn!"
To protect himself from the Solar Star's scorching heat, he had prepared Essence of Innate Water, which could freeze someone solid with ease.
With a fierce beat of his wings, a violent gale sent the giant tree swaying. A five-meter-long azure bird flew straight toward the sun in the heavens, never looking back like Kuafu chasing the sun!
