Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 448 Gathering at Tang Brick
Hearing Yan Chixia's bold words, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but laugh.

"Since Brother Yan thinks so, then I'm relieved!"

"How about we open up 100,000 slots for the next round of testing?"

Yan Chixia's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly, "Why not?!"

……

……

At the same time, the first death case finally appeared at the Heishan site.

That was a skeleton player who was besieging a high-level ghost with his companions. Because he was not careful enough in his positioning, he was ambushed by a second ghost that suddenly appeared. His already low health bar instantly dropped to zero, and he returned to reality.

Seeing this, his companion was also startled and became flustered.

In the ensuing chaos, the two high-level wandering spirits unleashed their power, joining forces to send the remaining three players to the Transformation Tomb Pool.

"Damn, what bad luck!"

The players who were wiped out felt a wave of despair wash over them and, in their frustration, began to curse loudly.

After cursing, the four of them looked at the death screen at the same time, wanting to see how to revive in this game.

"What's the matter?"

"It will take twelve hours to revive?!"

"Who came up with this crazy idea?"

"Come on, let me see your contact information. I have something to ask you..."

Of course, the four players were just grumbling. After realizing that they couldn't revive immediately, they had no choice but to accept reality, quit the game in frustration, take off their helmets, and go online to check things out.

Undoubtedly, the internet was already flooded with posts about "Underworld Online" at this point.

This virtual reality game is being discussed by hundreds of millions of netizens across various platforms.

The appearance of the four deceased players naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Faced with so many envious and jealous glances, their initial frustration vanished instantly, and they happily shared (showed off) their gaming experience with many netizens.

"Holy shit, shit!"

"Listen to me, this game is absolutely awesome!"

"Putting everything else aside, just the physical system and the level of realism are simply unprecedented in my life!"

"In the entire game, all items have models and can be interacted with. Even a grain of sand or a fallen leaf can be interacted with as realistically as in real life."

"It's no exaggeration to say that you can even play in the mud in this game!"

"real or fake?"

"That's awesome?!"

"Nonsense, I run a fruit stand, why would I sell you raw melons?"

"I don't believe you, unless you let me in and see for myself!"

Four players' fingers flew across the screen as they shared and exchanged ideas with countless netizens who came to admire the game. Naturally, there were also doubts and debates about whether the game actually existed.

This debate lasted for an entire day.

Around 6 PM, a large number of players, starving, quit the game and joined the ranks of the dead players, which slightly subsided the heated online arguments and conspiracy theories.

With so many testers confirming this, aside from a few internet trolls arguing for the sake of arguing, the vast majority of players are starting to look forward to the official release of Underworld Online.
On the official forum of "Underworld Online", various posts and replies are scrolling wildly, with at least a hundred new posts appearing almost every time the page is refreshed.

The vast majority of these posts were related to game content leaked by players during the first closed beta test.

For example, one of the most popular posts was about the Easter egg characters.

[User 13545: Am I the only one who thinks the Easter egg characters are unfair?]

[Riding a pig to watch the sunset: Yes, it's just you!]

[Winning a prize by changing your name: That's really unfair...]

[Win a prize by changing your name: Of course, if I win in the future, then never mind!]

[I, Ultraman Tiga, am in Northeast China: Dude, your map of the Yan Kingdom is way too short! The abacus beads are practically bouncing into my face!]

[Everyone's eyes are on me: That's enough, the Easter egg character isn't as powerful as you think.]

[All eyes are on me: I'm just an Easter egg character, and a variant of the Drowned Corpse among the ghouls. Aside from having a natural water-based skill, my five stats aren't even as good as a regular ghoul!]

[Netizens: ...]

[Avada Soma: Hey, is the forum admin there? Could you please ban that one above? Thanks!]

Netizens copied and pasted the message, collectively condemning this lucky person who was born with special skills. The comments below also went off-topic, with people starting to compile a list of all the Easter egg characters that had appeared.

In addition, there is a lot of noteworthy content in other posts as well—

Wait a minute, the starting characters are all skeletons and ghouls, and the starting village is the infamous City of the Dead. With so many R-rated horror elements, doesn't the censorship team care?

That's why they say future technology will have a magical power over everything.

Wait, isn't that the key point?

[The key question is, with so many horror elements, aren't you scared?]

【this……】

You know what, I really didn't see anything wrong with it!

Me too. You know, I used to be unable to play even the slightest horror game, but playing this game, I didn't feel scared at all.

Perhaps it's because virtual reality technology blocks something...

Just like when you dream, isn't it like there's a filter on your vision?

That makes sense. The official website also states that the game's technical principles are related to the subconscious and lucid dreaming...

That's fantastic! A godsend for casual gamers!

Countless netizens engaged in heated discussions on various platforms, creating an unprecedented buzz.

This grand occasion not only affected the Under One Person world, but also the City of Heavens, and even the entire chat group.

Many group members with free time showed great interest upon hearing about this.

So they went to the two worlds, either as players in Under One Person or as NPCs in A Chinese Ghost Story, and had a great time.

The situation only improved on the tenth day after the launch of the test for "Underworld Online".

After all, for the residents of Zhutian City and the chat group members, the excitement is only temporary; strength is the foundation of one's existence!
……

……

In the third month after the opening of Zhutian City, at the main peak of the Daoist temple, the Samsara Pavilion.

With a flash of silver light, three figures emerged from the portal representing the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Looking at the familiar palace before them, Ye Fan and Su Haoming couldn't help but feel emotional.

Two months later, they finally resolved the problem there and returned to their inner universe.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan turned his head and looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in white beside him.

Just as he was about to speak, the woman in white hurriedly took her leave, her face full of excitement as she leaped up and disappeared into the Samsara Pavilion as a ray of light.

"..."

Ye Fan opened his mouth, then closed it helplessly, exchanging a glance with Su Haoming beside him.

"Brother Su, when do you think she will come back?"

"Considering her speed, let's say half a minute!"

"I think so too!"

The two waited calmly, and within thirty seconds, they indeed saw a beam of light shooting towards them from outside the hall. "What's going on?!"

As the sunset cast its glow, a slender figure was revealed, her beautiful face bearing a mixture of confusion and anxiety.

"Why is no one at the school?"

"Because it's working hours now."

Ye Fan calmly replied, "Your sisters are all up there!"

Lin Yuyao looked up in confusion: "Up there."

Su Haoming smiled slightly before telling Lin Yuyao about the City of Heavens.

Lin Yuyao suddenly realized what was happening, thanked them gratefully, and then flew straight into the sky, disappearing from Ye Fan and Su Haoming's sight.

The two looked at each other, and Su Haoming sighed, "This girl is still so impulsive..."

Ye Fan, standing beside him, smiled slightly and gazed at the World Tree's radiant image in the center of the Reincarnation Pavilion, saying softly:

"Fairy Yuyao has been away for a long time and is not very familiar with the affairs of the Heavenly City. If there is anything amiss, I would like to trouble Sister Linghua to help take care of her!"

"You're too kind, True Lord."

Pleasant and melodious sounds emanated from all parts of the Reincarnation Pavilion.

Ye Fan nodded with a smile and immediately took a step towards another teleportation portal.

Su Haoming did the same, and the two of them quickly stepped into the portal and arrived in another world.

In the blink of an eye, the magnificent palace has been transformed into a picturesque manor.

The manor was bustling with people, men and women of all ages hurrying by, all preparing for something important.

Ye Fan looked around the manor with great interest.

Su Haoming, standing beside him, was quite familiar with the place. With a quick glance, he spotted two familiar figures.

"Ah Lie, Xiao Bai!"

Su Haoming smiled and waved: "Why are there only two of you? Where's Lao Fan?"

Lin Lie and Bai Zemin walked over, the former saying with a smile, "Brother Fan is Brother Yun's best man, he really can't leave, so we'll have to wait here!"

That's right. Ye Fan and Su Haoming returned from this trip not only to deal with issues related to the world of "Covering the Sky," but also because Yun Ye and Xin Yue had finally tied the knot, and they planned to come back to attend the wedding of a group member.

"Don't even mention us!"

Bai Zeming complained, "Why are you two taking so long?"

Su Haoming and Ye Fan exchanged a glance, recalling their experiences over the past two months, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"There's no way around it, there have just been too many things happening in the world of Shrouding the Heavens lately!"

First, there was Ye Fan's friend Pang Bo. They subtly inquired and finally found out the location. Then, they sneaked into the Hall of Immortality and helped Pang Bo defeat the soul of the Demon Emperor's descendant, seizing control of the body.

From then on, Pang Bo disguised himself as a descendant of the Demon Emperor and stayed with the demon race.

Fearing that things would fall apart, Ye Fan and Su Haoming hurriedly left after the incident, preparing to head to the Holy City to gamble on stones and make money.

As a result, another underground palace was discovered along the way, which appeared to be the emperor's bedroom.

How could Ye Fan miss such an opportunity? So he joined forces with Su Haoming, Hei Huang, Lin Yuyao and others to explore the underground palace.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Tu Fei, Li Heishui, Jiang Huai Ren and other descendants of the great bandits had already entered the Immortal Palace as disciples under Ye Fan's recommendation.

While exploring the underground palace, they were also on the star destroyer left behind by He Jingfeng.

Inside the underground palace, they unexpectedly encountered Duan De, the unscrupulous Taoist who had once tricked Ye Fan.

Su Haoming was very interested in Duan De, so he used a series of tricks, deceptions, threats, and inducements to lure the man onto the ship.

At this point, the power of the Immortal Palace increased even further. Unlike the original story where only Ye Fan and the Black Emperor participated in the underground palace expedition, seven or eight young prodigies formed a group to enter the dungeon, displaying an overwhelming and extremely arrogant demeanor.

Of course, Ye Fan and his group did have the right to be arrogant.

Not to mention Su Haoming, who is the strongest, even Tu Fei, Li Heishui and others who are nominal disciples are among the best of the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness.

The fact that so many young prodigies were acting in concert naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other major sects in the Northern Region.

Thus, the geniuses of many great sects joined forces and engaged in a fierce battle with Ye Fan and his group.

In the end, Ye Fan and his group prevailed, overwhelming the disciples of the major sects.

Even Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family, was defeated by Su Haoming.

Of course, besides the difference in strength between the two, Ji Ziyue was also partly to blame.

After all, her younger sister was on the opposing side, and Ji Haoyue was unwilling to break ties with the Immortal Palace. She only made a move to a limited extent and did not fight Su Haoming to the death.

In the end, the disciples of the various sects in the Northern Region who entered the underground palace were all easily defeated by Ye Fan and his companions.

The elders from various factions who arrived later were also forcefully suppressed by Lin Yuyao, who was born from a sacred corpse. They had no choice but to obediently withdraw and leave the underground palace in disgrace with their seriously injured juniors.

Thus, all the treasures that emerged from the underground palace were taken into the possession of the celestial palace.

Only the Chaos Bed where the Great Emperor slept was quite strange, as even Lin Yuyao found it difficult to subdue.

After leaving the underground palace, the group finally embarked on their journey to the Holy City. What followed was the display of the power of source magic, with everyone frantically gambling on stones in the stone workshops of various holy sites...

"and then?"

Bai Zemin asked curiously, "What unexpected incident happened this time with the jade gambling?"

Su Haoming and Ye Fan exchanged a glance and chuckled, "No, it's just that this thing is too addictive. Old Ye and I couldn't resist and stayed there a little longer!"

Lin Lie & Bai Zemin: "..."

Lin Lie's eyes flashed with silver light as he looked Su Haoming up and down, clicking his tongue and saying, "No wonder you've progressed so quickly. If I'm not mistaken, you should already be at the peak of Foundation Establishment, right?"

"That's right!"

Su Haoming said smugly, "To be honest, besides attending Lao Yun's wedding, I also plan to go into seclusion in the Jade Bright Palace for a while. I won't come out until I reach the Golden Core stage!"

"congratulations!"

Bai Zemin and Lin Lie congratulated each other with smiles.

Su Haoming waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about me yet. Today is Lao Yun's big day. I'm just a guest invited to the wedding. I can't steal the spotlight!"

He paused, then asked curiously, "Has everyone else arrived?"

Bai Zemin smiled and nodded, saying, "Everyone is here except for my eldest brother, you're all missing!"

Ye Fan asked in confusion, "What about my older brother?"

Lin Lie said with a smile, "Big brother has been quite busy lately. He not only has to expand the City of All Heavens, but also search for new worlds in the endless void and find new residents for the City of All Heavens."

"But you don't need to worry, knowing my brother's personality, he'll definitely arrive before the wedding starts!"

That's it!

Ye Fan and Su Haoming nodded in understanding, then stopped talking and followed Lin Bai and the other into the manor.

Without a doubt, this manor is the expanded Lantian Marquis's residence.

Most of those who came to help were the elders and fellow villagers from Yunye's fiefdom.

As Ye Fan walked along, his eyes shone with divine light as he surveyed the people coming and going in the manor. He discovered that although the spiritual energy in this area was quite abundant, the vast majority of the people coming and going were still ordinary mortals.

Only a very small number of those with spiritual roots have clearly been guided onto the path of immortality by Yun Ye.

Like Su Haoming next door, Yun Ye's spiritual energy recovery is also quite slow.

This was mainly due to his indecisive personality. Firstly, he was born into a family with a pro-CCP stance and was unwilling to see Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty sit on the throne forever.

Secondly, the Li Shimin of this world treated him very well.

Yun Ye didn't want to initiate a revolution like Fan Xian, so he had to settle for second best and follow the path of a super sect, gradually igniting a spiritual revival in the Tang Dynasty world...
