Hongjun, You're Dead Today!

"Since no one wants to be the bait, we can use the Jade Plate of Creation as compensation. If the bait survives, the Jade Plate of Creation belongs to them. If they unfortunately die, we'll all chip in and give them a reward. They won't be qualified then, and we won't have to worry about the court coming after us."

A netizen suggested.

Shui Yue's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good plan; the benefits were proportional to the risks. She immediately went online to notify everyone.

After going offline for a few minutes, three hours had passed below Jade Capital Mountain. When they heard Shui Yue's suggestion, the players exchanged glances. What was initially an undesirable role suddenly became highly sought after!

After a period of debate, the strongest player, Meng Tun, emerged victorious. His consciousness was sharp, and he was more confident in his ability to lure Hongjun into the trap.

The Annihilation Plan officially began!

Clusters of flames appeared in the players' eyes. These were the seeds of ambition. No one knew what earth-shattering changes would occur in the game after killing the world BOSS, Hongjun!

This was a game created by gods! Perhaps one of them could control a world and become a new god.

Jiang Ping yawned and got out of bed at home. He wanted to check if the players' plan had succeeded, but instead, he saw the group of players rubbing their legs together and advancing into the depths of Jade Capital Mountain.

"They're this slow? They haven't even encountered Hongjun yet?" Jiang Ping was a little confused.

He went to the game forum and learned that there was an internal dispute over the spoils.

Clicking on Shui Yue's live stream post and following it to the latest update, Jiang Ping chuckled. "They haven't even met him yet, and they're already discussing how to divide Hongjun's treasure?"

Even though they were speaking nicely now, Jiang Ping was almost certain that if Hongjun truly met an untimely end and dropped a spectacular treasure hoard.

Upon seeing the Jade Plate of Creation, their previous promises would have long been forgotten!

Even in ordinary games, people would turn on their own brothers for a powerful piece of equipment. How much more so in the incredibly realistic and terrifying Myriad Realms: Primordial World?

However, being the bait did offer a first-mover advantage.

Jade Capital Mountain was immense, enveloped in ethereal mist. Deer leaped and cranes called, with not a trace of worldly dust.

The 99 players cautiously searched the mountain forests. Shui Yue, responsible for documenting this major event, took ten photos with every step, eager to capture the beautiful scenery of Jade Capital Mountain.

Finally, a Taoist temple, shrouded in purple energy and emanating supreme immortal aura, appeared before them.

Three grand characters were written on it in a flowing script:

Purple Firmament Palace!

They had arrived!

The crowd gasped. After so much planning, they were finally seeing this world BOSS!

Shui Yue quickly took photos, intending to upload them to the forum later. If nothing else, the audience's tips would be a substantial sum of money!

"Which esteemed Daoist friend approaches?"

A grand voice echoed from within the Purple Heavens Palace. The players looked at each other, their gazes finally settling on Meng Tun.

Meng Tun gritted his teeth and stepped forward, asking, "Is the Great God Hongjun within?"

The other players gradually retreated, slowly disappearing around Jade Capital Mountain.

The voice from the Purple Firmament Palace continued:

"It is I. I dare not claim to be a Great God; I merely possess some cultivation. Who are you, Daoist friend, and why does your aura feel so strange, so out of place with the world?"

"How is this NPC so intelligent? Could it be a real person?"

Meng Tun thought to himself. Fortunately, he was an old hand and had prepared himself psychologically.

"Oh? Daoist friend, would you mind coming out to meet me? What exactly is my aura like?"

Bang!

The two Taoist doors automatically opened, and an elderly man wearing a Tai Chi robe appeared. He lightly waved his horsetail whisk and glanced at Meng Tun.

"You ask me to come out, likely with significant intentions. Your eyes reveal a greed towards me!"

Meng Tun's heart skipped a beat, and then he sneered, "That's right. I heard you possess an extraordinary treasure, which is why I specifically sought you out."

Hongjun shook his horsetail whisk, his expression unchanged. "Oh? What treasure is it that brings you here from afar? Could it be my Taoist robe?"

Meng Tun laughed heartily. This was just a game character, after all. While important, there was no danger to his life. He performed exceptionally well.

"You're just a mere earthworm, stop playing coy. The Heavenly Dao's supreme treasure, the Jade Plate of Creation, is in your hands!"

Silence fell upon the surroundings at his words!

Hongjun's eternally unchanging face finally changed. "I am an emanation of the Primordial Qi. How could my profound origins be seen through by an alien species like you!"

The fact that he was originally an earthworm was his second greatest secret. How did this Primordial Alien Species know?

Hongjun finally lost his composure. With a murderous intent but remarkable calmness, he said:

"From where did you hear that the Jade Plate of Creation is in my possession!"

This was his greatest secret!

The Jade Plate of Creation was a companion treasure of the Great God Pangu. Although it possessed no offensive or defensive capabilities, it was the supreme treasure of this world's Heavenly Dao, recording the Three Thousand Great Daos. Whoever possessed it had already paved more than half the path to cultivation!

If news spread throughout the Primordial World that this treasure was in his possession, he would never have a moment's peace. Countless powerful beings would likely attack him!

"Heh heh."

Meng Tun let out a cold laugh, just about to continue his taunts, when suddenly a divine banner appeared in Hongjun's hand.

His movements were impossible to track. At the brink of life and death, Meng Tun instinctively rolled away like a lazy donkey.

Clang!

As if struck by a celestial sword, Meng Tun, pale-faced, looked at his original position. A beam of Chaos Sword Qi had carved a deep trench in the ground!

Ugh!

What a sneaky old bastard, striking as soon as he speaks."

With no time to curse Hongjun for his shamelessness, Meng Tun turned tail and fled with all his might!

"Vile beast, you actually dodged my strike!"

A flicker of surprise flashed in Hongjun's eyes. He gently shook the Pangu Banner, and strands of Chaos Sword Qi shot out from it. This was the ultimate offensive treasure.

If not for his current weak cultivation, a single sword strike could collapse the Primordial World's ancestral veins and sever the celestial river!

In the hands of the great Pangu, it could split the heavens and earth, decompose Chaos, and open up the world!

The stronger the power, the stronger the artifact!

Unknowingly, Hongjun began to move away from his Purple Heaven Palace dojo. This alien beast knew the secret of the Jade Plate of Creation, and Hongjun could not let him go!

"Help! Help!"

Meng Tun used every ounce of his strength. His twenty-plus years of positioning and awareness were fully utilized as he weaved in an S-shaped pattern. At several dangerous moments, he even used his innate skill, Flash, to evade.

It had to be said that Meng Tun was a combat prodigy. Despite having ordinary talent, he had turned it into a divine skill for escape.

"Heh, not bad. To be able to dodge a few strikes with just his physical talent," Jiang Ping commented. Although Hongjun was currently probing Meng Tun's origins, Meng Tun could be proud of dodging these attacks.

"This ends now!"

In the Kunlun Mountains, Hongjun poured his immense magical power into the Chaos Banner, intending to get serious and stop probing. He would kill this strange monster with a single strike.

"Hahaha!"

Meng Tun, who had been fleeing in a sorry state ahead, suddenly stopped and laughed heartily. He pointed dominantly at Hongjun.

"Old man Hongjun, you're finished today! I, the player Meng Tun, say so!"

"Player?"

Hongjun frowned. Suddenly, the Jade Plate of Creation in his primordial spirit began to vibrate uneasily. His expression changed drastically as he looked around.

He found himself in a mountain ravine without realizing it, and the ground beneath his feet was already showing signs of movement.

"Despicable!"

Hongjun gritted his teeth. The next moment, a deafening explosion erupted from the earth.

Boom!

Boom boom!

The power of a hundred tons of TNT exploded within the small mountain valley!

To ensure the ambush was successful, 99 players had worked day and night to manufacture it!

Moreover, this explosion seemed to ignite a fuse, and the dense Spiritual Energy gathered in the valley also began to explode, creating a chain reaction!

This was shortly after the creation of the world, and much of this Spiritual Energy was innate. Coupled with its location in the Primordial World's ancestral veins, its quality was terrifyingly high!

In an instant, The valley collapsed, and the entire Jade Capital Mountain seemed to tremble slightly. Countless birds and beasts in the forest took flight in alarm.

A massive cloud of smoke, carrying countless specks of dust, rose from the collapsed valley.

Jiang Ping, watching from home, clicked his tongue in amazement. These players, not long after entering the Primordial World, had managed to create such a devastating weapon!

"But it's also because the native creatures are still so pure and simple. Even though Hongjun is naturally cunning, he can't compare to these players who are rotten to the core!

He was careless!"

Jiang Ping sighed, but then the corners of his mouth curved upwards.

"Hongjun is Hongjun, after all!"
