Hongjun, You're Dead Today!

"Since no one wanted to be the bait, we could use the Jade Plate of Creation as compensation. If the person acting as bait survived, the Jade Plate of Creation would belong to them.

"If they unfortunately died, everyone could chip in, and we could send them donations too. They wouldn't be qualified for it anymore then, and they wouldn't have to worry about the authorities coming after them."

A netizen suggested.

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

After being offline for a few minutes, three hours had already passed beneath Jade Capital Mountain. Upon hearing Shui Yue's suggestion, the players looked at one another. The bait position that none of them had wanted suddenly became highly sought after!

After some debate, the strongest, Meng Tun, ultimately won out. His awareness was sharper, and he was more confident that he could lure Hongjun into the trap.

The Annihilation Plan officially began!

Sparks appeared in the players' eyes. They were seeds named ambition. No one knew what earth-shaking changes would occur in the game after killing the world BOSS, Hongjun!

This was a game created by gods! Perhaps one of them might gain control of an entire world and become a new god.

Jiang Ping yawned and got up at home. He had wanted to see whether the players' plan had succeeded, only to find them rubbing their legs and marching deeper into Jade Capital Mountain.

"Were they really this slow? They still hadn't run into Hongjun?" Jiang Ping was somewhat puzzled.

Only after visiting the Game Forum did he learn that they had failed to settle the division of spoils internally.

He clicked on the livestream thread posted by Shui Yue and scrolled straight to the latest update. Jiang Ping laughed. "They hadn't even met him yet, and they were already discussing how to divide Hongjun's treasure?"

Though they made it sound nice now, Jiang Ping was almost certain that if Hongjun really capsized in a ditch and dropped an outrageously huge haul...

The moment they saw the Jade Plate of Creation, their previous promises would be thrown who knew where!

Even in ordinary games, a powerful piece of equipment could cause brothers to kill each other. Let alone such a realistic, tangible Myriad Worlds: Primordial!

Still, being the bait did give one an advantage.

Jade Capital Mountain was enormous, shrouded in immortal aura. Deer leaped about, cranes called out, and there was not a trace of mortal dust.

The ninety-nine players carefully searched through the mountain forest. Shui Yue, who was responsible for documenting this major event, took ten photos with every step, wanting to preserve the beautiful scenery of Jade Capital Mountain.

Finally, a daoist temple enveloped in purple qi and radiating supreme immortal aura appeared before them.

Three bold, dragon-like characters were written above it:

"Purple Heavens Palace"!

They had arrived!

Everyone's hearts jolted. After planning for so long, they had finally found this world BOSS!

Shui Yue hurriedly took pictures, intending to upload them to the forum later. Not to mention others, the viewer donations alone would be a huge sum of money!

"Which Fellow Daoist has come?"

A majestic voice rang out from Purple Heavens Palace. The players looked around before all staring at Meng Tun.

Meng Tun gritted his teeth and stepped forward. "Is Senior Hongjun inside?"

The other players began to disperse, gradually vanishing into the surroundings of Jade Capital Mountain.

The voice from Purple Heavens Palace continued:

"It is this poor Daoist. I dare not call myself a great god; I merely possess some slight cultivation. Who are you, fellow Daoist? Why is the aura around you so strange, so utterly out of place in the world?"

Why was 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 mentally.

"Oh? Could Fellow Daoist come out so we can meet? Just what is wrong with my aura?"

Boom!

The two Daoist doors opened on their own, and an elderly man in a Taiji Daoist robe appeared. He gently swished his fly-whisk and gave Meng Tun a calm glance.

"You asked this poor Daoist to come out. I fear you have no small scheme in mind. Your eyes reveal greed toward this poor Daoist!"

Meng Tun's heart skipped a beat, but he then sneered. "That's right. I came looking for you because I heard you possessed an extraordinary supreme treasure."

Hongjun swished his fly-whisk, his expression unchanged. "Oh? What supreme treasure brought you all this way? Could it be the Daoist robe on my body?"

Meng Tun burst into laughter. This was only a game character. Though important, there was no real danger to his life, so he performed beyond his usual limits.

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

The moment those words were spoken, the four directions fell silent!

Hongjun's eternally unchanging face finally shifted. "This poor Daoist was transformed from Primordial Qi. How could an alien species like you possibly see through the depth of my origins?!"

His main body being an earthworm was his second-greatest secret. How did this Primordial Alien Species know?

Hongjun was no longer calm. Though killing intent filled his face, he spoke with extreme composure:

"Where did you hear that the Jade Plate of Creation fell into my hands?"

This was his greatest secret!

The Jade Plate of Creation was Great God Pangu's accompanying supreme treasure. Though it possessed not the slightest offensive or defensive power, it was the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure of this world and recorded the Three Thousand Great Daos. Whoever possessed it had already traversed more than half the path of cultivation!

If word spread across the Primordial World Ground that this treasure was in his hands, he would never know peace again. Who knew how many Great Divine Powers would plan to besiege him!

"Heh heh."

Meng Tun sneered. Just as he wanted to continue provoking him, a divine banner suddenly appeared in Hongjun's hand.

The movement was impossible to see. At the moment between life and death, Meng Tun almost instinctively performed a donkey roll.

Clang!

As though an immortal sword had struck, Meng Tun paled as he looked at where he had just been standing. A strand of Chaos Sword Qi had plowed a deep trench into the ground!

"Fuck!

"What a scheming bastard. He attacked the moment he said he would."

With no time to curse Hongjun's shamelessness, Meng Tun spread all four legs and sprinted wildly!

"Wretch, you actually dodged that strike!"

Surprise flashed through Hongjun's eyes. He lightly waved the Pangu Banner, sending streams of Chaos Sword Qi shooting from it. This was the foremost offensive supreme treasure.

If not for his current cultivation being too weak, one strand of sword qi could have collapsed the Primordial World Ground's Ancestral Vein and severed the Heavenly River!

In Great God Pangu's hands, it could even split heaven and earth, break down chaos, and open up worlds!

The stronger the wielder, the stronger the treasure!

Unknowingly, Hongjun moved farther and farther from Purple Heavens Palace's grounds. This strange beast knew the secret of the Jade Plate of Creation. Hongjun could not possibly let him leave!

"Help! Help!"

Meng Tun used every trick he had. More than twenty years of movement awareness came fully into play as he constantly ran in S-shaped patterns. Several times, when danger closed in, he even used his innate skill, Flash, to evade it.

It had to be said that Meng Tun was a combat prodigy. Though it was clearly an ordinary talent, he had turned it into a divine escape skill.

"Heh heh, not bad. He could actually dodge several attacks with just his physical talent," Jiang Ping commented. Although Hongjun was currently testing Meng Tun's origins, being able to evade those attacks was enough for Meng Tun to be proud of himself.

"End it!"

In the Kunlun Mountains, Hongjun poured his immense magical power into the Chaos Banner. He intended to get serious, to stop probing, and kill this strange monster in one blow.

"Haha!"

The bedraggled Meng Tun, who had been fleeing ahead, suddenly stopped and laughed. He pointed at Hongjun domineeringly.

"Old man Hongjun, you're dead today! I, player Meng Tun, said so!"

"Player?"

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

Unknowingly, he had entered a ravine, and strange activity had begun beneath his feet.

"Despicable!"

Hongjun gritted his teeth. The next moment, a heaven-shaking explosion erupted from the ground.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

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

To ensure a successful ambush, the ninety-nine players had worked day and night to manufacture it!

And the explosion seemed to ignite a fuse. The dense spiritual energy gathered in the valley also began exploding, creating a chain reaction!

This was shortly after the opening of heaven, and much of that spiritual energy was Innate Spiritual Energy. On top of that, they were within the Primordial World Ground's Ancestral Vein, making its quality terrifyingly high!

In an instant,

The valley collapsed, and even the entire Jade Capital Mountain seemed to tremble slightly. Countless flying birds in the forest took flight in alarm.

An enormous cloud of smoke, carrying countless clumps of dust and dirt, rose from the collapsed valley.

Watching from home, Jiang Ping clicked his tongue in amazement. These players had only been in the Primordial World for a short time, yet they had already created such a powerful weapon!

"But that was also because the local creatures were still too innocent. Even if Hongjun was naturally calculating, he still couldn't compare to these players, who were rotten to the bone!

"He had been careless!"

Jiang Ping sighed, but the corner of his mouth soon rose.

"Hongjun was Hongjun, after all!"
