Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
By now, the activities in the shops finally entered the final stage.
Ning Bi was announcing the list of winners, “In the Ready Musician One activity, the highest point goes to ‘I’m MT’ of World of Warcraft performed by the Nanhua Faction!”
“It’s us?!” On the seats for the Nanhua Faction, Mo Xian and her senior and junior sisters heard the result and just couldn’t believe it.
Then, Mo Xian pinched Yue Yan’s cheek. “Junior Sister, does it hurt? Is it real?!”
“Ahh-!” With her cheek pinched red, Yue Yan protested loudly.
“In the Most Unforgettable Memory, Believe in Holy Light from World of Warcraft won the highest point! The materials are provided by people like Wilson, Leidon, and Elven.”
“We…?! They mentioned our names?!” Cheers came from Canglan City.
“In Ready Player One – Easter Egg Hunting activity, Nalan Hongwu and his team’s hunt of the true forms of devil lords in Diablo 2 won the highest points!”
“The second place goes to the elf team led by Sewell who found the Easter egg in Rock Creek Cave in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4.”
“Ah-!” The elves were astonished. “We won a reward-!?”
“We won a reward?”
They looked at each other and exclaimed together.
…
“Let’s see what’s in the shop owner’s big gift bags!” the group yelled.
These elves had coveted Mr. Fang’s prizes for a long time!
…
The people in this world had only known very few skills and techniques, and they had had low strength. However, they were indeed talented.
Like pearls covered in dust, they revealed their beautiful colors after a few light brushes.
– Meanwhile, Mr. Fang’s tournament continued as planned –
– In the division in the Continent of Immortal Relics –
“Mid lane!”
“Come to Baron! Force a team fight with Baron!”
“Oh-! My goodness!” Xiao Yulv exclaimed at the caster stand, “Five attacks in one second! No! Five attacks in an instant! Partic.i.p.ant Nalan Mingxue used this trump card and instantly killed the ADC from the Royal Clan Team! The Lingyun Team will win this match…!”
– In the division in the West Continent –
a.s.sa.s.sin Elina tightened the grip on her throwing knife.
Her champion was Talon, and she was waiting for her prey like a cheetah.
A ring of blades flew out as if they were driven by an invisible force. The a.s.sa.s.sin champion that she controlled flew out, looking like a horrifying ghost.
When the enemy Xerath walked past, she instantly stabbed forward in stealth like a lightning flas.h.!.+
Countless flying blades became one like a saber control technique!
“Instant kill! The enemy mid laner was instantly killed!”
…
“We control such great power… we make breakthroughs continuously in the mystical realm with their skills.” It was on a distant and remote high mountain far away from the shop.
“This horrifying snowstorm will destroy everything…” Swein stared at the sight before him as the energy of chilly ice, wind, and snowstorm continued to grow but was eventually controlled in a certain area by him.
“Swein, be careful!” World Mage Hematon warned him, “This is the best spell of the Ascendant. In the game, I could only use it with a strength less than level 7, but now I’ll use it with my strength as a pinnacle stage saint-level master…”
Restless energy instantly turned violent around him while an extremely horrifying and destructive energy beam shot out!
“Face the wind!” When the blade slashed out, a hurricane as huge as a natural barrier suddenly rose before him!
All the energy was destroyed!
…
Boom-!
A thunder tore open the sky.
No one had seen such a horrifying sky before. It looked as if the sky and the earth were enraged.
It even look like… the sky had been devoured.
The elves pushed open the door and walked out of the shop. Suddenly, they pointed at the sky.
“Look!”
The blazing sun looked as if it was being slowly devoured by something.
The sky turned dark.
In one instant, the day turned into the night.
Meanwhile, the Continent of Immortal Relics, which was in another plane, had the same phenomenon!
It seemed like a horrifying catastrophe was brewing!
It seemed like the heavens and the earth were enraged, and the G.o.ds were going to unleash the destructive G.o.dly punishment!
…
Amidst the bell chimes in the early morning, the old cultivator maintaining the Ancestor Master’s Shrine in the Heavenly Faction lit up incense sticks with great respect.
Above the portraits of all previous ancestral masters of each generation were some other portraits; only real G.o.ds and immortals were wors.h.i.+pped above the founding ancestral master.
It was the ancient tradition of the Heavenly Faction, and the Three Saint Factions in the Continent of Immortal Relics did the same.
These were the greatest existences they wors.h.i.+pped.
They represented the end of the Pursuit of Dao.
They were the holiest existences that all the cultivators since the ancient times had been wors.h.i.+pping.
According to the legends, these immortals existed from the very beginning of time and lived in grand immortal nations that were unimaginable for mortals.
Heaven-Supervising Immortal would watch the mortal world and choose the fortunate ones to enter the ethereal world of immortals.
…
– At the G.o.ds’ Peak in the Radiant Light G.o.dly Nation –
Radiant light shone on this land permanently. There were no nights in this place.
Lights s.h.i.+ned brightly, and countless followers kneeled and wors.h.i.+pped with great devotion.
According to the legends, mortals could never ascend. Only the powerful and pious souls could be led into the realm where the G.o.ds lived after death.
Some legends even said that the nation named after the radiant light had inherited the radiant light from the G.o.ds in Heaven. The pure souls of the n.o.ble royal member came from the infinite distant nation where the G.o.ds lived.
St. Heinz who was in charge of the Judgement G.o.dly Palace even said that he had served the G.o.d of Radiant Light Judgement.
They possessed the real ‘divinity’.
It was the G.o.d’s blessing that the followers craved for but couldn’t receive!
…
According to the old tales, they lived in the lofty realm beyond the clouds, and countless poems praised it and described its beauty which was unimaginable for humans. It was an impeccable and dreamy place.
The G.o.ds living there were elegant and n.o.ble, and no word in the world could describe their magnificence.
When the sun rose, the perfect golden lights were the blessings from the G.o.ds.
When the sun set, the radiant evening clouds were the silky robes that the G.o.ds wore.
The followers piously believed that, one day, these great existences would see their piety, pity them, and lead them up to the G.o.dly nation.
One day in the Immortal Realm was equal to one year on the Mortal Realm.
The immortality of the G.o.ds went beyond the imagination of mortals.
Chaotic ice and flames danced in the deepest place in the void and the universe.
The greatest sound was silent, and the greatest shape was formless. From the endless s.p.a.ce, they looked down on the countless mortals who wors.h.i.+pped with lowered heads.
It seemed like the dark void was s.h.i.+ned on by the light, and all darkness vanished.
It also seemed like lights were swallowed, with only empty darkness remained.
In the depths where light and darkness merged, there was a distant world unreachable by mortals.
The Innumerable-Immortal Sea, G.o.ds’ Palace, and G.o.dly Court came together and created the whole immortal nation beyond the void.
There lived the existences whom mortals admired, wors.h.i.+ped, and believed in.
…
Meanwhile, in the shrine in the back mountain of the Heavenly Faction.
The old cultivator who was putting up incense sticks rubbed his eyes.
He seemed to see one of the portraits above the portraits of the ancestral masters suddenly move!
It was one of the portraits of the loftiest existences!
In great astonishment, he actually saw a figure walking down from the painting!
The G.o.dly figure said, “You mortals have forgotten the covenant that you made years ago and committed such a crime! Shortly, a destructive catastrophe will come!
“But the Heavens are merciful. If you are willing to forget the past and all the things related to that shop to redeem yourself, you might have a chance to live!”
“I… Upper immortal, I don’t know what crime we’ve committed?!” the old cultivator asked immediately.
“The Martial Art Ban… Even if the other factions didn’t mention it, the ancestral master of your Heavenly Faction didn’t tell you that?!
“Where’s your faction master?”
“He’s in the internet café…” The old cultivator scratched his head and said, “We didn’t do anything forbidden…”
