From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 514 Let's stir things up, let's stir things up, let's turn the world upside down!

The office was completely silent, save for the subtle energy fluctuations caused by Li Chengqian's interaction with the giant light screen.

His mind was completely absorbed in it, activating the highest command left behind by the Human King Fuxi, which transcended the authority of ordinary virtual universe companies. At this moment, he seemed to transform into the Heavenly Dao of this world, and countless streams of information converged and analyzed under the guidance of his will, like gentle streams.

Track all the reads of that post about "strange life fossils".

On the screen, the data refreshed wildly like a waterfall, far exceeding Li Chengqian's initial expectations. Even though he was mentally prepared, when the final result was presented, a chilling coldness instantly ran up his spine, causing even this immortal god to feel a jolt in his mind!

Number of readers: 7,894,361,552!

Nearly 7.9 billion views!

The number itself is alarming enough, but what's even more frightening is its composition...

Immortal Gods: The number of clearly identified beings at the Immortal level or above reached a staggering 12,487! Among them were even several beings who exuded a suffocating pressure, those were at least great beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables!

Realm Lord: Over 3.5 million!
Domain Lords and Universe-level beings: their numbers are in the billions!
The rest are lower-level cultivators and a small number of scholars and wealthy people with special privileges.

The readers are widely distributed, covering almost every cosmic nation in the human realm, from the prosperous Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom to the remote Black Dragon Mountain Empire, from core members of the Virtual Universe Company to warriors of the Giant Axe Arena, and even some identities point to the top echelons of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and the First Cosmic Bank...

This is no longer just simple academic curiosity.

This is a silent plague that, through the virtual universe network, has quietly infected a large and vital elite class within the human race!

“This is a huge problem…” Li Chengqian muttered to himself.

Training fighters, training damn fighters, this is training fighters for all the stars!
He cursed inwardly, trying to trace the source of the pollution further, hoping to find deeper information or pinpoint a few key points.

However, just as his highest-level tentacles were trying to delve into the core of that post and the browsing history of some high-privilege readers, something unexpected happened!

A highly subtle and distorted force field suddenly emerged around the post itself and the many tagged reader IDs. This force field wasn't a traditional firewall or encryption program, but rather more like a...living anti-tracking and early warning mechanism built upon the chaotic information itself!

His probing action was like gently touching a calm yet slick, dark forest, instantly triggering a chain reaction!
"Om-!"

An indescribable wave, filled with malice and a sense of voyeurism, infiltrated his access link at incredible speed, heading straight for the core of his consciousness!
Fortunately, the office had the highest authority, instantly cutting off all the counterattacks.

But a chill still crept up from the bottom of my heart.

On the screen, the information flow about those high-privilege readers began to undergo a strange change. They seemed unrelated, but on a higher level of information, Li Chengqian, with his office access, vaguely "saw" that there seemed to be an extremely weak yet real spiritual resonance between these corrupted individuals. Unintentionally, or perhaps even subconsciously driven by their corruption, they had formed a loose, secretive circle that transcended time and space.

The members of this circle may not know each other directly, but they share the same "secret"—the source of contamination from the stars. Subconsciously, they all resist any further exploration of this information, instinctively guarding this treasure trove that leads to madness and distortion! And now, his attempt to touch this secret has triggered the shared defense mechanism of this secretive circle.

Even Li Chengqian, who believed he had the strongest backing, felt his heart sink to the bottom.

The scope and level of pollution far exceeded imagination, even involving terrifying beings at the level of cosmic sovereigns. His attempt to track them down had undoubtedly alerted them.

That secretive circle would never allow an outsider who knows the inside story and tries to investigate to exist. Especially since this outsider possesses what seems to be considerable authority.

Silencing them was the only option.

Although he used the highest level of authority left by the human king Fuxi in the office, and the tracking behavior would not be detected, the tracking behavior within the virtual universe company must have also triggered a backlash from the defense mechanism. It's just that his authority was insufficient at the time, so he didn't notice it.

For those who are corrupted and hold high positions, as long as they realize that someone is investigating them, and through some unknown and bizarre means that may involve precognition or large-scale information screening, they will inevitably be targeted.

“My immortal identity is virtual, a cover arranged by the Great Master Fuxi. It might be able to interfere with judgment in the short term. But Li Chengqian’s identity and his connection with Earth are not without traces…” Li Chengqian frowned. “If those guys trace it down through the registration information of the Virtual Universe Company, Earth could very well be exposed!”

He registered an indigenous planet as his property, a common practice among cosmic citizens. It goes unnoticed most of the time, but once a powerful figure sets their sights on him, and to silence him, then…

At that time, Earth will likely face not the curiosity and exploration of space adventurers as in the original story, but an overwhelming and devastating attack from those corrupted powerful beings!
Deleting the post is pointless; with nearly eight billion views, including a massive number of Immortals and Realm Lords, someone has likely already copied and spread the information. Forcibly deleting it will only further expose one's existence and purpose.

Now, he has to prepare for the worst—to face... rubbish!
What a load of rubbish! He's just an ordinary Immortal-level being right now. Any Cosmic Venerable could crush him with a single finger, and in the process, crush the Earth as well.

This world is real, not a novel. The younger ones go first, serving as your stepping stones, and then the older ones come in, serving as your stepping stones too!

In such a situation, those big shots will crush you immediately and will never give you any chance to turn the tables.

So he did two things. First, he used his highest authority to distort the tracking data he had previously collected. After all, in the virtual universe, authority reigns supreme. He had the highest authority and could do whatever he wanted to ensure that the other party could not use the virtual universe company's registration information to track and investigate him. This was the first step: self-preservation.

Secondly, he used his highest authority to issue warnings to the uncorrupted high-ranking members of all major forces, such as Virtual Universe Companies, the First Bank of the Universe, and the Giant Axe Arena, and also published the complete list of those to be corrupted.

Eight billion seems like a huge number, and more than ten thousand immortals also seem quite frightening. However, when placed in the dimension of the entire universe, it is actually not that many. If it were a one-on-one battle, this circle would naturally be a behemoth, invincible. But what if it were made public?
By exposing them to the sunlight and letting them perish in the light, their supreme authority within the Virtual Universe Company will naturally attract the attention of other powerful beings in the universe, leaving this circle with nowhere to hide.

You're saying this will trigger a cosmic war?
Then let’s fight!

It wasn't me who hit it!
Go ahead and stir things up, stir them up until the world turns upside down, all you'll do is mess up the universe.

Anyway, you're all lackeys raised by the Human King Fuxi, now's the time to use you!
