All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 2 God descends to earth
At this moment, the warlords who should have been discussing how to attack Hulao Pass in the allied command tent came to the gate tower of the camp.

"There was a group of people standing on the clouds, and every now and then someone would turn into a streak of light and fall down. Could it be that the gods have appeared and descended to the mortal world?"

Yuan Shao looked up at the sky and said to Cao Cao with a look of horror.

Not long ago, all eighteen warlords had arrived, and they elected a leader to discuss the specific details of the battle. But at that moment, a purple aura suddenly appeared in the sky from the east, as if a sage had descended to earth.

The feudal lords were greatly alarmed and all came out of their camps to watch from the gate tower.

As a result, a cloud of seven colors slowly drifted over, and a group of strangely dressed figures appeared on it!
"It must be that Dong Zhuo's perverse actions have angered Heaven, so Heaven has sent down to earth to help us punish the rebels and cleanse the court!" Cao Cao was also filled with shock, but he said only the best things.

Used to stabilize morale.

Behind them, the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also had drastic changes in expression.

He was immediately overjoyed.

"Today, the eighteen warlords are attacking Dong Zhuo, but unexpectedly, they have attracted the descent of a celestial being. It seems that the fate of our Han Dynasty is not yet over!" Liu Bei said, glancing at the direction of Hulao Pass and then at the warlords.

These are all people with treacherous ambitions, and they are all a major threat to the Han Dynasty.

He was originally worried that after driving away the jackals, tigers and leopards would appear, but now he was no longer worried: since the gods had descended to earth, they would surely restore the Han Dynasty once again, just as they had helped Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu!
However, just as everyone was talking, dozens of streaks of light disappeared into Hulao Pass.

Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao's expressions froze.

Are they going to help us break through the city?

One of the feudal lords spoke up.

But no shouts of battle rang out in the city, and the gates of Hulao Pass remained tightly shut, showing no sign of opening—which made all the feudal lords feel a sense of unease.

Punish the traitors and purge the court of corrupt officials.

No matter how nicely it's described, it's still a rebellion. Could it be that the gods descended to earth to help the court defend Hulao Pass?
But soon, more than a dozen streaks of light also disappeared into the camps of the feudal lords.

It caused a commotion, but there were no shouts of fighting or killing.

"My lord, a celestial being has appeared in our army's main tent. He landed and created a huge crater. He wants to see you!"

"My lord, a celestial being has descended upon our camp!"

"Lord..."

Soldiers under the command of various lords reported this, causing their expressions to change instantly. They immediately rushed to meet the god without even having time to take their leave.
Legend has it that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was able to restore the Han Dynasty because he received divine assistance!

If I can gain recognition...

Even Liu Bei, who was wholeheartedly devoted to restoring the Han Dynasty, couldn't help but have a thought at this moment: what if he was the next Liu Xiu?
After all, they're all from the Liu family!
And believe it or not, a "god" really did come to him: Countless players on Earth have been to the Three Kingdoms instance. Apart from not having a god's-eye view and not knowing the true thoughts of the characters, they have figured out everything that needs to be figured out.

With two warriors capable of defeating ten thousand men under his command, Liu Bei was a truly powerful asset in the early stages of the game.

Once you've embraced someone, you can truly move freely amidst a sea of ​​enemies.

Of course, most players chose to directly pledge allegiance to the imperial court. That way, they could not only take advantage of Dong Zhuo's power, but also find other powerful figures after Dong Zhuo was killed. With the moral high ground, it would be easier to survive no matter what.

"My lord, a celestial being has also come to our place."

Xiahou Yuan, who was stationed at the camp, came up to Cao Cao and whispered in Cao Cao's ear, "Two!"

"Really? Quickly lead me to see them!" Under Xiahou Yuan's guidance, Cao Cao soon met the two "gods": a man and a woman. The man looked like a weak scholar, handsome, and the way he looked at him made Cao Cao feel as if he had been seen through inside and out.

The woman, though petite, reminded him of Lü Bu.

"As expected of a god, truly unfathomable!"

Cao Cao thought to himself, then lowered his posture, first bowing to the two men, then clasping his hands and saying, "Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, greet the two supreme gods!"

The posture is very low.

"I, Lü Shengnan, have descended to the mortal realm today to choose a wise ruler from among the heroes of the world, to assist him in establishing a peaceful and prosperous era!" The woman declared haughtily, "You are the one I have chosen!"

She overstepped her bounds by using the term "enlightened ruler," yet she only mentioned the beginning of peace and did not mention ascending to the throne.

She left ample room to maneuver between being a capable minister in times of peace and a ruthless warlord in times of chaos, which resonated perfectly with Cao Cao—this shows that she had done her homework before coming and knew how to please Cao Cao.

This put pressure on Chu Xiu, who had also chosen Cao Cao.

As for why Cao Cao was chosen?
In terms of ability, looking at the entire Three Kingdoms period, only he and Liu Bei reached the highest level in terms of being a ruler, making it easy for them to support and leverage others. Compared to Liu Bei, Cao Cao was "willing to betray the world," and capable of doing anything.

Once you gain his trust, you can go all out against other players.

There were no constraints.

As for Liu Bei, it would be too difficult for him to kill someone for no reason!
"Is he truly a god descended from heaven?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed.

But at that moment, Chu Xiu spoke up, saying, "There are no gods, only a group of evil spirits that crawled out from the Nine Netherworlds! They spare no expense, even if it means leaving the world empty and littered with bones, to devour the other evil spirits. All for the sake of that one and only chance to remain in the human world!"

In the game of the heavens, there are no rules against revealing anything.

However, in order to gain the trust of the natives, players often impersonate gods and take advantage of the "immunity to damage" feature during the protection period, which can usually fool the natives.

That's exactly what Lü Shengnan did.

If there were no competitors, Chu Xiu would have done the same.

However, with competition, impersonating a deity becomes less competitive. Therefore, based on Cao Cao's "inherently suspicious" nature, Chu Xiu came up with the "evil spirit theory."

This left Cao Cao momentarily stunned.

He immediately moved away from the two of them, frowning as he asked, "Are you ghosts or gods?"

"Does it matter whether you're a ghost or a god?" Lü Shengnan maintained her condescending attitude, saying, "Anyway, we're not mortals. If you get our help, you'll have a chance to achieve great things. Conversely, if no one helps you, do you have the confidence to fight against ghosts and gods?"

She emphasized the words "ghosts and gods" very heavily.

The practice of blurring the lines of identity also serves as a counterattack against Chu Xiu's "evil spirit theory".

It was used to win Cao Cao's trust.

But this was exactly what Chu Xiu wanted. He gave Cao Cao a mocking look and said, "A demon crawling out of the underworld, and with the surname Lü at that. Didn't you think of any acquaintances?"
