We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

Chapter 98 Two incredibly powerful young ladies! (Please subscribe!!!)
Dongqing Technology.

Lin Dong's office.

Lin Dong was working hard to contribute to the game and hadn't noticed what was happening outside.

Then his phone suddenly rang; someone had sent him a text message.

He then put down his work and glanced at it subconsciously.

It was sent by Lin Qiulin.

[Lin Qiulin: Junior Lin, are you alright?]

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment when he saw the message, and subconsciously replied.

[Lin Dong: Huh? I'm fine.]

What could happen to him?

Lin Qiulin quickly replied as well.

[Lin Qiulin: It's good that you're alright. Don't worry, I will definitely not let that guy get away with it. Don't let the outside noise affect you, just leave it to me!]

Lin Dong was somewhat puzzled.

He was just about to ask what had happened, but before he could even check, he realized...

His phone rang again.

"Junior! Junior, are you alright?!"

As soon as the call connected, Mu Wanqing's anxious voice rang out from the other end.

"It's nothing..." Lin Dong replied speechlessly.

"Okay, I'm relieved then. I have things to do, so I won't chat with you anymore."

Mu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lin Dong's tone was normal, and then hurriedly hung up the phone.

Lin Dong was completely baffled.

What on earth are his two senior female students doing?

He didn't check until he went online.

It was discovered that both "Journey to the West" and "The Myth" were caught in a media storm.

He finally understood what had happened.

But this only made him more dumbfounded.

For such a small matter, how could the two senior students think he would lose his temper and something bad would happen?
Lin Dong didn't even feel anything when he saw that book reviewer named Yang Yang criticizing "Journey to the West".

Because this is perfectly normal.

In today's online environment, let alone "Journey to the West".

Any one of the other three of the Four Great Classical Novels, if posted, will definitely be criticized.

It's not that they aren't good enough.

It's more accurate to say that it's precisely because they are so outstanding that some people can't stand their excellence, which inevitably leads to people like Yang Yang.

No matter how popular a book is, there will always be haters; no one is exempt from this.

Unless you are a Xinhua Dictionary.

So Lin Dong just glanced at the book reviewer's words, casually browsed the comments section, and then closed it without paying any attention.

He was extremely indifferent to it and didn't care at all.

But he didn't take it to heart.

Lin Qiulin and Mu Wanqing were furious.

For Lin Qiulin

Lin Dong entrusted "Journey to the West" to her because he trusted her and wanted her to take responsibility.

Now that this has happened and caused such a stir online, it's simply a dereliction of duty on her part.

Besides, everyone knows that Qingyang was the one who launched "Journey to the West," and Miss Lin was in charge of it.

Yang Yang did just that.

They completely disregarded Miss Lin!
As for Mu Wanqing...

She and her junior colleague left Starlink.

He's always had a smooth and successful career, unstoppable and incredibly capable. He's never encountered any setbacks.

And yet, someone actually dared to provoke them at this time. What if the junior gets upset because of this?
We must not let him go!
So after confirming that Lin Dong was alright, the two of them immediately picked up their phones and made calls.

……

……

This little incident occurred as a result.

Public opinion from the outside world is also intensifying.

Yang Yang stared intently at her phone screen, her heart pounding faster than ever.

He's on fire.

It could even be said that it has become a viral sensation.

However, he was not happy about this; instead, he was sweating profusely and extremely nervous.

Because on the screen, the comments section was still flooded with insults.

The constantly flashing message notifications stung his eyes.

Even with online trolls speaking on their behalf, it's impossible to stop this offensive.

He gritted his teeth, opened a chat app, and sent a series of messages to the mastermind behind the scenes, urging them to speed up their actions.

They readily agreed.

But before he could get any support, he was instead met with criticism.

He was a highly respected old man.

The former president of the Blue Star Literary Association and the former vice dean of the School of Literature at Qinzhou University.

Although he has retired.

However, his influence in the literary world remains significant, and he is a highly respected elder.

"I was engrossed in reading Journey to the West, but by evening, my eyesight was failing and I couldn't bear the intense reading anymore. So I had my child read the last few chapters to me, but I still couldn't calm down for a long time."

I also have some thoughts I need to share with everyone.

First of all, the mythology of Earth has been in a vacuum for so many years, with a variety of theories emerging. But if we're talking about which mythology can be considered the orthodox one, then I would recommend this book, "Journey to the West." Earth has finally received the orthodox mythology it has been waiting for for thousands of years.

Secondly, what a magnificent Monkey King, Sun Wukong! His strength lies not only in his great abilities, but also, and perhaps most importantly, in his fighting spirit.

Finally, I believe that Journey to the West is not just a novel; it is a masterpiece of the entire literary world and a treasure of world literature.

His narrative structure, religious metaphors, and philosophical depth are in no way inferior to those famous works in history, and each time I savor them, I have a different feeling.

I'd really like to have a chat with that young friend who wrote "Journey to the West" sometime.

The entire article was full of praise, and even at the end, it expressed a desire to meet the author of "Journey to the West".

This caused an uproar among everyone.

Not only that.

After this old man.

Several literary figures have emerged to endorse "Journey to the West".

among them.

Some hot-tempered big shots even directly criticized the commenter after it was made.

"I really don't know what's wrong with the world these days. Can't you even tolerate such an excellent work?"

"Such an excellent work, even I am far behind it, and it makes me feel ashamed of myself. How come some people say it is so terrible? Are we reading the same book?"

The big shot couldn't help but raise this question at the end.

Although no names were mentioned, it was obvious who was being referred to.

and this.

This naturally sparked a huge online uproar.

A novel.

It's astonishing that so many literary giants are endorsing it.

On Earth.

It's simply unbelievable.

It can even be said to be unprecedented!

For the first time in history.

After all, a novel is a novel. Although it has a huge influence, it has never been highly regarded in the literary world.

In the past, some literary giants have praised poetry, and some have praised prose, but I've never seen anyone praise novels.

Compared to other genres, novels are really lowbrow, occupying the very bottom of the social hierarchy.

But now.

Journey to the West, however, shattered all of this. This caused the already heated online discussion to explode!

"Hahaha, awesome!"

"Wow, so many big shots! Damn, I think I saw my teacher."

"I thought I was just reading an ordinary mythological novel, but it turns out it's a contemporary masterpiece?!"

"That's normal. The classical Chinese version of Journey to the West is really awesome! It's so high-class that I kept exclaiming 'Wow, wow, wow!' when I read it."

"Alright, alright, I know you're uncultured."

"The golden monkey wields his mighty cudgel, clearing the jade sky of dust for ten thousand miles. I love Journey to the West, I love Sun Wukong, and I even feel that this novel will have a profound influence on future generations."

"What's there to say about Yang Yang now? May I ask what literary works you have that can evaluate Journey to the West?"

"Are we reading the same book? Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

"Perhaps 'Journey to the West' is indeed well-written, but what about its insult to Buddhism and Taoism?"

"Exactly, his literary talent is great, but that's no excuse for him to insult Buddhism and Taoism."

"Why are there still online trolls?"

There was immense excitement online.

After all, when has the world of novels ever witnessed such a golden age?

Journey to the West, by its own merits, directly raised the bar for novels.

It made people realize that novels could actually reach such a level.

But the same.

There are still people who won't let go of the idea that Journey to the West insults Buddhism and Taoism.

They continued to criticize Journey to the West.

And at this time.

Another Taoist master has stepped forward.

His commentary wasn't like those of the literary bigwigs, which were lengthy and lengthy; it consisted of only four simple words.

"Mythology - Activate!"

Seeing these four words made countless netizens laugh.

They frantically ran to the Taoist priest's comments section and flooded it with messages.

[So you play Mythology too?]

In response, the Taoist priest chuckled and replied in the comments section:

"Play! Why not play? It's not like we're some kind of ancient relic. What era are we living in? Who says a Taoist priest can't play games? Keep up with the times and be innovative, you know?"

Many people have a biased view of Taoist priests, believing that they are pure of heart and detached from worldly affairs, with an otherworldly and ethereal air.

But in fact.

Cultivating oneself, following one's own nature and destiny, and adhering to the natural way—this is the spiritual state of Taoism.

Let alone playing games, watching short videos and TV series are also very common activities.

There's a very popular old Taoist priest on Douyu who loves looking at beautiful women.

As the Taoist priest said, what era are we living in? Do you still think they live in the deep mountains and forests, isolated from the world?
With the appearance of this Taoist priest.

Many people naturally asked questions in the comments section, asking what they thought of "Journey to the West" and "The Myth".

The Taoist priest seemed quite helpless about this matter and wrote another separate chapter about it.

"Originally, I didn't want to respond to these things. After all, as long as it's not too outrageous, a game is fun and a novel is good, isn't that enough? Why make it so complicated? Some people just have to make a mountain out of a molehill."

But since so many people have asked, I'll say a few words. First, the conclusion: both *Journey to the West* and *The Myth* are good novels and good games.

"As for what makes it good, from a Taoist perspective, Journey to the West is not a simple mythological novel, but a classic that uses the story of the pilgrimage to metaphorically represent 'internal alchemy cultivation'."

Sun Wukong possesses Taoist qualities such as compassion, mercy, joy, and equanimity, as well as the ability to escape, transform, change, and communicate, embodying the Taoist spirit of freedom and self-reliance.

Tang Sanzang embodies the Taoist ideal of a sage, possessing virtues of "propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame." His behavior aligns with Taoist principles such as forbearance and taciturnity.

"In addition, they also represent 'the restless mind,' 'nature,' and 'the primordial spirit,' symbolizing the restlessness of the human heart, which needs to be subdued through cultivation and requires going through hardships to realize one's true nature."

"The eighty-one tribulations symbolize the 'heat' and trials in the process of alchemy."

"The pilgrimage team (the Five Saints) corresponds to the Five Elements (metal monkey, wood pig, earth horse, etc.), embodying the harmony of Yin and Yang."

"It can be said that the author is definitely a knowledgeable person and is not making wild guesses. As for the claim of belittling Taoism and praising Buddhism, let's not talk about whether it is true or not. Even if it is true, the whole planet Earth is one family, and Buddhism and Taoism are naturally one family as well. How can there be any talk of belittling Taoism and Buddhism?"

"Instead of all that, I think you should focus on the characters in the game, instead of just looking at people like the Monkey King and Yang Jian."

"I think every deity is worth paying attention to; they all have the spirit of Taoism, which is why I enjoy playing this game."

"Can you believe I even had discussions with those characters in the game?"

Talking and talking.

The topic immediately veered off course.

The Taoist master excitedly told everyone about his discussions with the characters in the game.

The way the characters in the game talked about and discussed the Dao shocked even him, a true Daoist.

He didn't understand many Taoist theories and ideas, but he learned them through the game, which made everything clear. After thinking about it carefully, he found them very convincing.

Need I say more about how much effort Taoists put into this game? To call it an insult to Taoism is utter nonsense!
The netizens were completely baffled but impressed.

But they understood: being awesome is all that matters.

All of a sudden.

Everyone burst into laughter.

They all rushed to Yangyang's comment section again.

Throw all the evaluations and comments from literary and Taoist masters at him.

Yang Yang was completely covered in dust and dirt.

Without hesitation, he deleted his comment.

But even if he deletes his own comment.

Netizens are unlikely to let him off the hook either.

Dong Qing and Qing Yang wouldn't let him off the hook either; they directly sued him for blatant smearing, malicious defamation, and damaging the company's reputation.

Facing this circumstances.

Yang Yang immediately panicked and even revealed that the mastermind behind it was a certain game company.

As a result, the game company got angry and sued him for defamation.

……

Dongqing Technology.

When Lin Dong learned about this later, he was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected it.

Things have escalated to this point.

He instinctively called Lin Qiulin first, and Lin Qiulin proudly told him that he didn't need to thank her, it was what she should do.

Lin Dong then learned about it.

It turns out that those bigwigs in the literary world were brought in by Lin Qiulin after he went to his father, shamelessly begging him for help.

Lin Qiulin comes from a family of scholars.

The family has produced many literary PhDs and literary giants, and its father is the owner of the largest novel company in Qinzhou.

It's not surprising that they've come this far...

after that.

Lin Dong called Mu Wanqing, who told him not to worry, the matter had been resolved.

That's when he found out.

It turns out that the Taoist master was someone Mu Wanqing had brought along, and he was Mu Wanqing's second uncle.

Compared to the Lin family, the Mu family is much larger and is a giant in the Qinzhou real estate industry.

Lin Dong had no idea that Mu Wanqing had a second uncle who was a big shot in the Taoist community.

Both of them told him.

The reason why the literary world and Taoism were willing to help was mainly because "Journey to the West" was indeed of excellent quality and was a masterpiece of its time.

But... having excellent quality is one thing.

It's a completely different story if these big shots are willing to help!
Lin Dong wasn't some naive child; how could he not understand the key points?

These must be two incredibly powerful noblewomen... extremely wealthy young ladies.

He actually had the ability to command the entire literary world and Taoism from thousands of miles away.

Yang Yang crashed into both of her heads, and that was the end for her.

Lin Dong felt a cold sweat break out even just imagining it.
