Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 365 Before Dawn

Unfortunately, Yun Ling had already disappeared and didn't hear Han Yi's shouts at all.

The Jade Emperor patted Han Yi on the shoulder sympathetically: "You should message her privately. I'm really impressed. She always seems to have inexhaustible energy!"

……

"Attention all members of [Eternal Righteousness]! Gather at the entrance of the teleportation array at 1:30 PM! Everyone participating in the event, please gather here! Individual subsidies can be collected from [Human Heart Transformation] and [Soup Dumpling]!"

In the community channel, Nietzsche and several other administrators kept repeating the message, which Yunling, who had just joined the community, saw immediately.

"Huh? Isn't the limited-time battlefield supposed to open at 10 PM? Why are we going there in the afternoon?"

Although Yun Ling was a newbie, she was always carefree and asked questions on the spot.

"Hey, a newbie?" A helpful veteran player immediately explained in the community channel, "This story quest was originally an exclusive quest for our [Eternal Righteousness] guild. Back then, our guild leader and the others negotiated with those NPCs to settle directly in our Martial King City. Plus, we have an exclusive passage; the teleportation array has the option to teleport directly to Liuzhou, so our community was able to get there early to do the quest! You wouldn't believe it, would you? Right now, our guild leader is still over there with those NPCs! When other communities get there, they'll only be able to pick up our leftovers! Hehe!"

"Wow! That's great!" Yun Ling was initially pleasantly surprised, but then hesitated, "Wouldn't that be a bit unfair?"

Unexpectedly, once those words were spoken, everyone couldn't stop making sarcastic remarks—

"My foolish little bean! Who gave you, the dog-like game planner, the illusion that you could design a fair game?"

"This newbie is so naive! He won't take advantage of a good deal, what a fool!"

"Luck is also a part of strength! Who told our community to be lucky enough to get this mission!"

However, besides the witty remarks, there were also many well-intentioned reminders for newbies.

"Newbie, bring a lot of random stuff, especially food, snacks and the like. I heard that Liuzhou is really barren, and those NPCs don't even have enough to eat. If you bring some food and share it, you'll be a savior and it'll boost the NPCs' favorability! In case any NPC becomes rich later, you can follow them on quests with high experience and high rewards for free!"

Yun Ling was stunned: "Huh? You can do that?!"

"Of course! This game's favorability system is ridiculously unpredictable! Anyway, the more glorious and majestic the image, the easier it is to gain favorability!"

"Not necessarily. Last time, my friend acted so fake and exaggeratedly in front of the NPCs in Chang'an that he was taken to the Third Hospital of Chang'an by them..."

"The Third Hospital?"

"A newly built mental hospital!"

"puff--"

The atmosphere in the community is quite relaxed and friendly. Due to the appearance of the limited-time battlefield mission, several regular raiding groups have suspended their raiding and started preparing various materials and supplies, just waiting to go and "steal" the NPCs in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the situation inside Tiangui Mountain is far from optimistic.

"Have all the tribes been notified?" The usually calm Dai Min was unusually anxious, his eyes bloodshot. He grabbed a few thin cultivators who had just returned to the Nabahai tribe and asked them with a worried expression.

“We’ve notified everyone whose names we can remember, and several tribes have already set off, but, but…” The person who had just returned to the Nabahai tribe was panting heavily, stamping his foot with a mixture of anger and worry, “but two tribes absolutely refuse to come, saying they’re short-handed and afraid of being killed on the way, and that they don’t have enough food, so they insist that we send them food!”

Dai Min sneered, "If they don't want to come, they don't want to come. They're willing to die, what can I do about it?"

Another monk responsible for delivering the message reported, "However, the Erlechun tribe packed their things yesterday, and as soon as the earthquake struck, they rushed over here. I happened to run into them on my way there!"

Dai Min's expression softened slightly, and he nodded: "It's a good thing, at least there are still some smart ones!"

"Chief Moragen of the Qitamu tribe was also decisive, but..."

This time, the monk who was speaking glanced cautiously at Nietzsche, who had been standing beside Dai Min. He hesitated for a moment, but then Dai Min's sharp gaze swept over him, making him jump. He quickly continued, "However, they have dispersed to the tribe. The elderly and frail members, as well as some who were unwilling to leave, remained in the tribe. Many of them were people Moragen refused to take with him... He believed that the earthquake was divine punishment, and that taking those people with him would only harm them..."

Before Dai Min could react, Nietzsche was furious: "Hmph! They're afraid of being dragged down, aren't they! How disgusting! We don't want any of these people!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Min tilted his head, his tone questioning: "Then why not just kill them all?"

"what!?"

Nietzsche was startled and immediately waved his hands frantically, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. This, this is human nature after all, it can't withstand the test, it's human nature... no, no, no, it's human nature, it's just that they are quite bad, but their crimes don't warrant death... they shouldn't... shouldn't they?"

Unexpectedly, Dai Min misunderstood this last question and earnestly emphasized, "You can kill them all; they can't beat me."

Nietzsche became even more agitated: "No! It can't be that bad! It really can't be that bad! I was just saying it offhand, just joking around! You know what joking around means? It's just, just venting! Just saying something! I really didn't mean it that way! I really didn't!"

"it is good."

Dai Min seemed to accept Nietzsche's explanation and stopped insisting on annihilating the entire tribe. Instead, he turned to inquire about the situation of other tribes: "What are the casualties among the tribes?"

"I don't know why, but originally the largest tribes suffered the most deaths, especially the Qitamu tribe, where many people died and the cries of mourning were deafening. But when we came back, we found many monsters emerging from the ground... If it were smaller tribes, they would probably be in danger..."

Another person chimed in, "However, after we notified the various tribes, we told them to gather nearby. If they stick together, there will always be some with higher cultivation levels who can protect them, which should be better!"

Dai Min nodded and praised him, saying, "You've thought of that quite thoroughly. You should go and rest for a bit. Tribes will probably start arriving in the afternoon, and we'll need to arrange for people to protect them. There's a shortage of manpower everywhere right now, so you'll probably have to step in again."

Everyone shouted in unison, "For the sake of Nabahai, we dare not complain!"

The earthquake had subsided considerably, but the sky was becoming increasingly murky, with red mist spreading across it in patches of dark and light. Just a few glances were enough to make one feel dizzy.

However, precisely because the fog became uneven in thickness, it seemed that a few rays of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds from the thinning fog and shone down.

This is probably the first time in nearly a thousand years that Tiangui Mountain has been touched by sunlight.
