Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 533 Nothing New Under the Sun

The limited-time battlefield event lasted for a full week, as the battle between the immortals and gods lasted for a whole week.

Once they reach the level of immortals and gods, they are actually very difficult to kill without sufficient preparation. Therefore, the immortals and gods fought from Zhongzhou to Penglai Island, and then from Penglai Island to Guixu Sea.

Not all the star deities participated; only a dozen or so could be considered to be on Fang Xianyu's side. Of course, she hadn't actually had a chance to befriend them in this cycle.

Some immortals and gods who were unaware of the situation tried to stop the ancient ancestor of the Valley from giving up destroying the sun and moon. Even many sect leaders and elders from other sects in the Ten Continents and Three Islands came to persuade him. No one knew exactly what had happened, but everyone knew that if the sun and moon were lost, the Guixu Realm would definitely be in chaos.

However, the Ancient Ancestor Gu did not think so. He first cursed Fang Xianyu and the Taiyin Sect as lackeys of the extraterrestrial demons, then accused the immortals and gods of aiding and abetting evil, and finally vowed that as long as the sun and the moon were destroyed, the "Heavenly Dao" of the Guixu Realm would be broken, and the immortals and gods would no longer have shackles and fetters...

Naturally, more and more people will become immortals or gods, no longer subject to any "demons from beyond the heavens".

This statement did attract some followers to the Ancient Ancestor Gu, but most people, especially immortals and gods, scoffed at it.

It's not that they completely disbelieve what the ancient ancestor Gu said, but rather it's because of a very simple principle: all choices stem from self-interest.

Apart from immortals and gods like the Supreme God of Penglai who are almost unable to bear the heavenly tribulation and who have already sensed that their days are numbered, and cultivators who have no sect affiliation or have only a mediocre relationship with a sect, no one is willing to abandon the known path to pursue the unknown. Even those immortals and gods who stand on Fang Xianyu's side with righteous indignation are not because they are really so righteous, but because they themselves are beneficiaries.

No immortal or deity wants more immortals or deities to dilute their ranks. Just as anyone who cultivates an immortal body and attains godhood keeps silent about the process and all their experiences, the firewall of Heaven is only one reason. The deeper reason is human nature.

What's even more ridiculous is that, apart from a few people like the Dragon King and the God of Penglai who were truly fighting to the death, all the other immortals and gods on both sides were just putting on a show in this protracted war.

Only by remaining on the sidelines can you place your bets before either side wins.

"There's nothing new under the sun. It turns out that these so-called immortals and gods are just human beings, and they also have selfish desires!"

Aunt Wang had already seen through the trickery several days ago. And when she learned from Fang Xianyu that Nuwa was rushing back to the Guixu Realm, she was completely relieved and full of emotion.

It wasn't entirely a relaxation; although there was still some tension, overall, the tension wasn't due to the war or the two celestial bodies that seemed about to collide.

In just one week, the temperature in the Guixu Realm rose several degrees, and even the snow that never melts in the Arctic Liuzhou melted considerably. The Wuyue River even experienced its first "flood season," with several tributaries rolling into the land on both sides and irrigating several swamps and wetlands. However, life was more difficult for ordinary mortals. After all, seven consecutive days of daylight were indeed frightening. Even though Fang Xianyu issued messages and tasks to farm and leisure players to appease the people, many people in remote areas were still living in fear, and private sacrificial activities increased by hundreds of times.

Among them, the people in the desolate area of ​​Cheung Chau were the most pitiful. In this region, which was still a slave society and worshipped shamans and had a sacrificial culture, tens of millions of people died in just one week.

The sun scorched the rivers that flowed across the wilderness, and countless slaves were killed for sacrifice. The gods and immortals they worshipped were as numerous as hairs on a cow. Some were perhaps just mountain gods of a stone mountain, while others were called Taiyi Shangshen, also known as "Sun God" and Taiyin Shangshen, "Moon God." The latter once referred to the deceased former Taiyin God, but now it refers to Fang Xianyu.

The damage caused by this massive, cruel, and inhumane sacrificial ceremony went far beyond the slaves who were directly killed. Several large tribes, such as the Xin and Feng tribes, fought fiercely in the wilderness, and many smaller tribes were also swallowed up or slaughtered, all for the sake of water, minerals, and hunting grounds.

The devastation in Zhongzhou was equally devastating. Vast mountain ranges and forests were ravaged by the battle, leaving them scarred and devastated, not to mention the villages and towns, large and small, and the settlements of ordinary people. As a result, the players' daily tasks became the relocation of refugees—Fang Xianyu specifically instructed the China Nationalities Construction Team to build a new city in the Arctic Flowing Continent to temporarily transport homeless refugees and resettle them through work-for-relief programs.

As for the main battlefield, the players had long been killed and lost their temper. Apart from the I Love Farming community, which could still maintain a high level of combat enthusiasm, even the two communities that were most enthusiastic about group activities and the most enthusiastic about the thrill of battle, Longshan and Haoqi Changcun, could only keep less than five large groups participating in the activities.

It's worth noting that when this limited-time battlefield event first started, Longshan Sheyi brought together more than forty large guilds to participate!
There was no way around it; the difference in strength was simply too great. The disciples of the Taiyi Qiankun Sect and the Penglai Sect numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and each of them possessed considerable cultivation. Even the weakest outer disciples and menial disciples, who had only been disciples for a few years, had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

On the other hand, let's not even talk about the tens of thousands of slots that Fang Xianyu gritted his teeth and released. Just looking at the veteran players, there are still several thousand who haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage!

Even the tens of thousands of players who had reached the Foundation stage still had to work and live on Earth. How could they possibly stay in the game forever? So after only three or four days, when they saw no hope of victory, the players fell into a period of fatigue, and the forums were filled with complaints.

This limited-time battlefield event is completely different from the past. In the past, the battle phases did not last very long, and you could clearly see the process of gradually winning.

This time, however, it felt like self-torture. Players would often rush in with all sorts of magical artifacts and even lightning rifles as soon as they respawned or logged in, only to be killed by spells or magical artifacts from NPCs that appeared out of nowhere before they were killed. Then they would be stuck in a respawn cooldown of at least ten minutes and at most an hour.

Who would want to enjoy the game for only a few minutes? As a result, fewer and fewer players participated in the limited-time battlefield event.

What upset Fang Xianyu the most was that the event also deterred many players. Many streamers lamented that the game's official team was incompetent, lacking both operational and planning skills, and had squandered a great opportunity. They said that such amazing technology had turned into such garbage!
