All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 61 Liu Bei is holding back a big surprise!
Blue Star has no countries, only four major regions: east, west, south, and north.

However, the city has a master. Amidst the complex interplay of forces, there are three regional overlords in the north, west, and south, as well as various prefecture lords who dominate the eastern region after Zhou Wudao gave up his ambition to become an overlord.

How did they all come about?

It's something that's captured through siege warfare, according to the game's mechanics!

A guild, or several guilds working together, can launch an attack on a city. If they capture and hold it within the allotted time, they can claim the city as their own.

The city lord can also launch attacks on various "government offices," and if successful, he can become the prefecture lord.

That is the highest level of existence outside of the Blue Star overlord.

Further up, the advancement condition for becoming a hegemon is also to conquer a city. After conquering the highest "main city" above the government office, one can become the hegemon of a district.

Therefore, the existence of guilds is very important; you either join someone else's guild or create your own.

There always has to be.

But Zhang Taiping keeps talking about dominating the East District and unifying the Blue Star. Does he think he's Zhou Wudao or someone else?

Big sister, you're only at level one!

The city lords are at least at the fifth rank, while the prefecture lords are mostly at the seventh rank!

The only three overlords are all at the eighth rank!

"I'm not joking. My Taiping Daoist profession was earned through my own hard work and cultivation, so there are many things that players who use templates to improve can't see, but I can," Zhang Taiping said. "For example, it's completely impossible to compete with you anymore. From the moment you got your tenth kill, you decided when the game would end. If it weren't for your pursuit of the Heavenly Marks, I think the other players would have been eliminated by you long ago and wouldn't have survived until now!"

These words reveal a lot.

Whether it's the Mark of the Heavens or Chu Xiu's advancement to level ten, it all shows that she has seen far more than the average person.

“In fact, I think even if you went to attack the city right now, you wouldn’t be without a chance to take it. At least you’re already capable of going toe-to-toe with those ‘city lords’ who control the major guilds!” Zhang Taiping added, “Although it’s unbelievable, my intuition tells me that your talent is just that abnormally strong!”

At this point, Chu Xiu was completely moved.

He had a feeling that if it weren't for his presence, Zhang Taiping would probably have already started a killing spree.

Shen Tianci and Lü Shengnan might not be able to deal with her.

"So, you want to work with me?" Chu Xiu asked.

“That’s right!” Zhang Taiping nodded. “I can help you develop the Southern Heavenly Cult and obtain the ultimate reward. If needed, you can take this head as well. Anyway, I’m not going to fight for this game. I’m more interested in following you, conquering cities and territories, and dominating the Blue Star!”

As a woman, and a Taoist priestess who should have been as benevolent as water, she made no attempt to conceal her ambition.

The goal is clear: not to compete in dungeons, but to dominate the Blue Star.

It was obvious that she saw the potential to become a hegemon in Chu Xiu and wanted to follow him ahead of time.

"Alright, if you have a way to solve the 'zombie virus' problem, I'll give you a place when I create a guild in the future."

Chu Xiu finally agreed to Zhang Taiping's request.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Taiping smiled with delight and said, "That's simple. A Taoist's job is to exorcise demons. I have combined my own talents to develop a kind of talisman water that works on the soul. It's a vaccine against corpse poison. All we need to do is let the people drink it, and after they are resurrected, the power of the talisman water will take effect, making them immune to corpse poison and never to be infected again."

Without further ado, she began drawing talismans.

The process of making talisman water is not complicated, and the output is not small. One talisman makes a large pot, and one person can drink it, which can save hundreds of people.

However, given the current sheer size of the Southern Heavenly Cult... even if Zhang Taiping taught the method to Zhang Ning and Zhang Lu, they would still be extremely busy.

However, during this process, Chu Xiu discovered that Zhang Taiping had very strong organizational skills.

Under her organization, the entire process of administering the Fushui vaccine proceeded smoothly without any problems, keeping pace with the protective measures, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Furthermore, she is a very hardworking young girl.

She never slacked off until the talisman water became widely available. She would only rest for a short while when she was so busy that she couldn't keep up. Once she regained her energy, she would continue drawing talismans, without affecting her ability to organize people to distribute the talisman water.

Sometimes, she gets tired and experiences mental fatigue.

But whenever he got tired, he would mutter to himself, shouting "Dominate the Blue Star," and then throw himself back into his work with renewed energy.

Chu Xiu was amazed by what he saw.

"This game was truly full of talented players!"

"With fewer than 8 players, the fourth round of elimination is cancelled, and the fifth round of elimination, from 8 to 4, will begin directly two years later!"

Suddenly, a notification sounded.

The players, including Chu Xiu, were all taken aback by what they were doing.

"what happened?"

Filled with doubt, he mobilized all his spies to investigate over a thousand miles.

Before long, the truth came out: it was Liu Bei's side that had turned evil and was plotting something big!

As everyone knows, Liu Bei was benevolent and respectful to his subordinates, making him an excellent partner should he have needed to develop his power early on. Now, with Guo Liang's help, he has already conquered Western Shu.

He was even granted the title of king.

Therefore, when Liu Bei publicly recruited talents after Guo Liang's death, players who had not yet established themselves went to apply.

To the players' surprise, the now-corrupted Liu Bei had no intention of recruiting players to cooperate; his goal was to eliminate all of them. He wiped out all the players who went to the banquet in one fell swoop, leaving none alive!
"Kill crazy!"

Chu Xiu counted on his fingers and realized that, well, the second round of elimination had only just ended and there were already only seven players left: Lü Shengnan, Zhang Xiaoming, Jia Tong, Li Jing, Zhang Taiping, Wang Yuanjing, and himself, Chu Xiu.

There's no one else!
The rest were all killed by Liu Bei in a fit of rage!

"You underestimated the natives? Did you really think the people in the dungeon weren't living beings?"

Chu Xiu felt a sense of schadenfreude.

He immediately sent his undercover agents to continue investigating, and their expressions gradually became strange.

Because he discovered that Liu Bei's massacre was just the beginning—after only seven players remained, Liu Bei dispatched his most trusted generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to travel day and night to Yuan Shao and Sun Jian respectively.

Chu Xiu could only find out that they were delivering a message.

The content is unavailable because it doesn't go through other people.

However, after receiving the letter, both Sun Jian and Yuan Shao secretly mobilized a group of trusted confidants to begin tailing them. Their targets were none other than their trusted allies, Jia Tong and Li Jing.

Although no physical altercation took place, it was clear that a rift had formed between the natives and the players.

Even the indigenous people are showing a tendency to unite.

It was at this time that Sima Yi, who was wanted by the various warlords and had almost nowhere to go, appeared and took Zhang Xiaoming, the former leader of the Extinction Cultivator Alliance who had disappeared for a long time, to Liu Bei's place!
