Stranded in the Primordial World, Drifting Out of Contact!

"First-test players, be careful! These red-eyed ferocious beasts recognize neither friend nor family!"

On the forum, this post was rapidly gaining popularity. Everyone clicked in and found that a first-test player had died at the claws of a frenzied ferocious beast.

"These ferocious beasts are simply vicious by nature. There's no way to communicate with them. If you see one, stay far away!"

That was what the player wrote. Quite a few people's hearts burned with excitement. Another player had died—time to snatch a slot!

A young woman who looked to be around twenty laughed loudly in front of her computer. "I finally got one!"

Many people slapped their thighs and cursed. They had clearly designed software specifically to grab slots left by dead players, so why had they failed again?

Jiang Ping sneered in front of his laptop. "Scalpers think they can fleece me?"

Although accounts could not be bought or sold, he hated people who used software to forcibly snatch slots the most!

In Jiang Ping's design, anyone who used software to grab a slot would never be allowed into this world for the rest of their life!

"Brothers, this is huge! I found another intelligent lifeform!"

The forum exploded again. A player had found an NPC they could communicate with. According to that player, the NPC had merely transformed from a large tree and was not some major figure. Of course, to players, it was still extremely powerful.

The giant tree did not reveal much useful information, but it actually pointed out the direction of Jade Capital Mountain!

The players went wild. If they did not gang up on Hongjun now, then when would they?

Meng Tun: Jade Plate of Creation gulp, here I come! Nobody better fight me for it!

Game Zhang: Pangu Banner, Taiji Diagram, and my beloved Four Swords of Zhu Xian! I'm going to set up the Zhu Xian Sword Formation and see who can beat me!

North Underworld Has Rain: You two upstairs, calm down. Hongjun has that many supreme treasures too. I think the ones who are likely to die are us!

And the Four Swords of Zhu Xian aren't in Hongjun's hands right now, are they? They might be in Demon Lord Luohu's hands!

Xiao Lin: I think North Underworld is right. Although we know Hongjun's location now, and he's basically a super gift pack, can our skinny arms and legs really beat him?

Wouldn't we just be delivering ourselves to his doorstep?

Everyone's heart tightened. Although countless supreme treasures and the Jade Plate of Creation had dazzled them, the gap between them was enormous!

Even if a hundred Primordial Alien Species surrounded Hongjun, he probably would not even take them seriously!

They might really end up traveling thousands of miles just to deliver themselves as food!

At that moment, a netizen who had been watching offered a suggestion: Everyone, have you forgotten the ultimate weapon of transmigrators?

Since "Myriad Worlds: Primordial" was terrifyingly realistic, and might even truly be a world, then this massive weapon should be possible to make!

Everyone was startled. This might be a game, but it was no joke. How had they fallen into the mindset of an ordinary game?

Were they always going to use old methods to push a BOSS? This was one hundred percent realistic!

Meng Tun hurriedly asked, "Could you be talking about it?"

Game Zhang: One sulfur.

Xiao Lin: Two saltpeter.

North Underworld Has Rain: Three charcoal.

In unison: It's it, it's it, it's it!!

Jiang Ping's smile froze as he watched from before his laptop. He sighed. "The ingenuity of idiot netizens is truly inexhaustible."

What had been impossible now really seemed like it had a chance of succeeding! They were bold beyond belief. Even knowing they could not revive after death, they still wanted to pull off something huge!

How did that saying go? People died for wealth, birds died for food!

"Could Hongjun really capsize in a gutter?"

Jiang Ping thought to himself. Hongjun had not even deduced a Cultivation Method yet!

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ping decided to let things develop naturally. If Hongjun really capsized, then he could only let the players deduce cultivation techniques themselves.

Although the Primordial World would be turned upside down by then, he might also gain some unexpected rewards.

Game Zhang: Brothers, gather! Rush to the foot of Jade Capital Mountain from all across the Primordial World. On the way, collect materials for black powder!

After gathering at the foot of the mountain, launch the final assault! A Cloud Piercing Arrows!

Others shouted: Myriad Soldiers come to meet!

Someone cut in with a complaint: Shouldn't it be ten million Ji Lao coming to meet?

At the mention of Ji Lao, everyone was startled. Why had they not seen that big shot speak? Could it be he had forgotten such an important matter?

Everyone hurriedly summoned Ji Lao Jiang.

Meng Tun: Ji Lao, where did you run off to? We're grouping up to push a super BOSS! The richest, strongest final BOSS in the entire game!

Ji Lao Jiang seemed to have finally sensed the big guy's summons and weakly appeared:

Sorry, everyone. I probably won't make it in time to push Hongjun this round.

Quite a few people were startled. No one had forgotten Ji Lao's previous grand boasts. Could it be he had really flown to the Solar Star?

Had he eaten Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who was still being nurtured, seized the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, pulled off a cuckoo taking over a magpie's nest, and ascended the Heavenly Emperor's Throne?

Meng Tun: Ji Lao, could it be you betrayed everyone, betrayed the revolution, and ran off alone to enjoy the good life?

Game Zhang: Confess quickly! Did you really fly into the sky to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?

Everyone secretly thought this was bad. Could it be that while a whole bunch of players here were preparing to push Hongjun, this guy had already killed Eastern Emperor Taiyi and seized the Chaos Bell?

Ji Lao Jiang: It's hard to put into words. Let me show you my current situation, and you'll understand.

One pale white image after another was uploaded. Everyone studied them carefully and discovered that this was the cloud layer high in the sky, wasn't it?

Game Zhang: Ji Lao, where are you now?

Ji Lao Jiang: Stranded in the Primordial World, drifting out of contact.

Everyone was confused. It looked like Ji Lao had continuously approached the sun, so why did he say that?

Ji Lao Jiang continued: I made every preparation, but I never expected the road to the heavens to still be beyond imagination. Hard, hard, hard!

First I encountered the Nine Heavens Tiangang Winds, then layers of extreme heat and cold, plus all kinds of lightning and thunder blasting at my ass!

The journey was full of hardships too difficult to describe. If I had not been holding onto the grand dream of the Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Emperor's Throne, I would have given up long ago!

After eighty-one tribulations, surviving ninety-nine heavenly calamities, and passing through nine layers of heaven, I finally reached the Outer Starry Sky!

At the time, I was so moved I nearly cried! It wasn't easy!

Even Tang Monk's journey for scriptures wasn't as hard as mine! (crying emoji ×10) If I'd had this perseverance back then when I studied, I would have gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University long ago!

Everyone sighed. Ji Lao's path to the heavens had truly not been easy. Though there was some exaggeration, one look at the strangely colored images and the massive lightning bolts like heavenly pillars made it clear that Ji Lao had really suffered.

Sure enough, one of Ji Lao's selfies was enough to bring tears to one's eyes. More than half of his beautiful green feathers had been burned away, and the feathers on his wings were nearly all gone!

The few plumes remaining on his head had been struck straight by lightning, turning into three silly tufts.

Ji Lao Jiang: I think I'm probably the first creature to fly from the Primordial World Ground into the Outer Starry Sky. After arriving in space, I was dumbfounded!

The starry sky was no smaller than the ground, and I couldn't tell east, west, north, south, up, or down. The magnetic field was chaotic, and I got lost!

I wandered around here for a whole day and night, going in circles in one spot. I even suspect I accidentally entered the Great Zhou Celestial Array!

Now, forget finding the moon and sun—I don't even fucking know how to get back!

Uh, only then did everyone understand why Ji Lao Jiang was so aggrieved. After overcoming countless hardships, with the Innate Supreme Treasure only one step away, he had actually gotten lost.

Game Zhang: Ahem, it seems Ji Lao cannot make it to the greatest feat since the creation of heaven and earth. The rest of you brothers should hurry to the foot of Jade Capital Mountain!

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke.

Shui Yue: Big shots, can I join? I'm a newbie. I just grabbed a slot and tried out the second world.

North Underworld Has Rain: It's actually a cute girl. We need every bit of strength right now. If anyone dies unfortunately along the way, newly joined people can also make their way to Jade Capital Mountain.

Seeing Shui Yue speak, quite a few people felt sour inside. Why had they not encountered such a good thing?

This game, "Myriad Worlds: Primordial," had already made it abundantly clear that it was anything but simple. Even the authorities had reported on it yesterday, asking first-test players to voluntarily turn themselves in for protection, with monthly state rations included!

However, aside from the first few people who had carelessly exposed their real information, players entering now were all very cautious. They did not want to be invited in for tea!

After all, Xiao Lin had already been locked in a little black room. He did not need to do anything all day long, did not need to attend school, and only needed to play games all day long!

He occasionally underwent experiments, and a military unit was stationed outside specifically to protect him!

As for his true thoughts now, there was only one: Let me go! I don't want to play games! I want to study!
