Hermit in the Mountains

The virtual world, the Palace of Eternal Life.

Zhang Yuanfu appeared, and when he saw Gu Changsheng, his heart trembled and he couldn't help but want to kneel down.

He composed himself with each breath, bowed deeply, and said, "Disciple greets Master."

He stood up, lowered his eyes, and dared not look directly ahead.

Gu Changsheng noticed that Zhang Yuanfu was distracted and made up his mind that he would choose to summon everyone in the virtual world in the future, which was better than kneeling down when he saw his real body.

"Yuanfu, choose an honest person to manage the mortal monastery and be responsible for handling miscellaneous matters within the sect."

"The Myriad Paths Palace is established today, and you will serve as its head."

"Wandao Mansion is responsible for the overall development and operation of the virtual world online, and manages Wandao City offline."

"The power is yours. As long as the solution is useful to the virtual world, the Myriad Paths Palace can make its own decisions without having to report to us in every matter."

"There is one more thing. From now on, only cultivators who cultivate the Dao Seed method will be allowed to log in to the Virtual Myriad Dao Realm."

Zhang Yuanfu asked cautiously, "Master, is there a fee for non-Dao Seed cultivators to log in?"

Gu Changsheng provided the answer: "The Virtual Myriad Paths Realm will only serve as an exclusive network for cultivators with Dao Seeds in the future; it's not a matter of charging fees."

"The core mission of the Myriad Paths Palace is to promote the Dao Seed Method as the mainstream cultivation method on Blue Star."

"Collect and organize relevant information about the Dao Seed System to form a complete cultivation system before releasing it."

Zhang Yuanfu immediately understood the reason and put forward his own idea: "Master, can the Myriad Dao Palace hold various official events and set up prizes to enhance the enthusiasm of Dao Seed cultivators?"

"Excellent!!!" Seeing that Zhang Yuanfu had grasped the key points, Gu Changsheng said, "As long as it can promote the progress of the virtual world and the Dao Seed system, you can do it boldly."

Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment, his thoughts drifting to the bottom of the virtual world before returning: "A soul account will be marked with the character 'Dao,' which indicates a Dao Seed cultivator's account."

"Any other questions?"

"This disciple has no further questions."

Gu Changsheng waved his hand, indicating, "Go, and get this done as soon as possible. The spiritual energy tide will descend again in September."

"Yes, disciple takes his leave!" Zhang Yuanfu felt a sense of urgency and bowed in farewell.

With less than ten days left until September, time is very tight, and he doesn't have much time left.

Gu Changsheng exited the virtual world and summoned the Myriad Paths Pearl to help him open a new cave dwelling.

A small space in the void in front of him slowly grew from nothing to something.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuanfu did not exit the virtual world but went to the virtual conference room to hold a meeting.

In the virtual conference room, Zhang Yuanfu sat quietly at the head of the table, with nine people sitting on each side of the rectangular conference table.

Once everyone had arrived, he immediately assigned tasks: "Master's Order: Today, the Myriad Paths Palace is established, fully responsible for the development and operation of the virtual world, and also managing Myriad Paths City."

"I will assume the position of Lord of the Prefecture."

"Development team, a recognition system has been developed today."

"Accounts with the character '道' at the end are listed as accounts that will be recorded during the closed beta test; those without the character '道' are listed as accounts that will not be recorded during the closed beta test."

"Operations team, register the Wandaofu account and announce that Wandaofu has become the official account of the virtual world."

"An announcement was issued in the name of Wandaofu: All accounts that did not record data during the closed beta must withdraw their assets within three days."

"Three days later, all closed beta accounts that did not save their data will be permanently unable to log in to the virtual world, and their assets will be reduced to zero."

The operations team leader raised his hand and asked, "Dean, how can a dismissed cultivator regain a login account in the virtual world?"

Although everyone in the meeting room was puzzled as to why a batch of accounts were being deleted, none of them asked.

They understood the weight of the words "Order of the Leader".

Zhang Yuanfu smiled knowingly, "By cultivating the Dao Seed Method and condensing your natal Dao Seed, you can obtain a new login account."

Everyone in the meeting room was intelligent and immediately understood who those accounts were.

The sect leader established the sect based on the Dao Seed Method, and it is impossible for cultivators from other cultivation systems to use the virtual world.

There's a very vivid way to put it.

Aiding the enemy!!!

The initial free use for all was to cultivate the cultivators' habits; now it's time to reap the rewards.

By switching to the cultivation of the Daoist seed, one can continue to use the virtual world.

No one is forcing you to switch majors if you don't want to; you just can't use the virtual world.

The virtual world was originally created by the sect leader, and now they are launching an alternative real-name authentication system.

Blue Star is the only virtual world covering the entire globe, holding an absolute monopoly.

There is no such thing as an "anti-monopoly law" in the world of spiritual practice.

An invincible open strategy!

Zhang Yuanfu clapped his hands. "Everyone, go down and get to work. Contact me immediately if you encounter any problems."

"Three days later, the virtual world will officially enter a new phase, and many tasks await us."

"There's one more piece of news, just so you know."

"The spiritual energy tide will descend again in September, so everyone should secretly prepare."

He didn't say much, but everyone was well aware of the spiritual energy tides and how to prepare for them.

"Yes, Lord."

Once one person started, others followed suit.

"Yes, Lord..." (+17)

After everyone left, Zhang Yuanfu informed his fifth disciple about the arrival of the spiritual energy tide.

Ling Xuzi reacted quickly, immediately notifying everyone in the Changsheng Cave Heaven not to go out, and those who were training outside to return as soon as possible.

Zhang Yuanfu notified Yang Dashan and Yang Qingshan to assist with the asset liquidation plan.

The amount of spirit stones and longevity coins must be sufficient to cover the total amount of all assets to be liquidated.

Fortunately, I didn't try to make money from money using modern financial methods.

The number of virtual spirit stones and longevity coins corresponds to the number of physical spirit stones and longevity coins in the treasury.

In the event of a run on the bank, they can immediately provide spirit stones and longevity coins to complete the exchange.

The core development and operation team of the virtual world consists of only eighteen people, but the number of peripheral members is as many as tens of thousands.

With the core group taking the lead, tens of thousands of people were mobilized, each fulfilling their respective duties.

One hour later, the Wan Dao Fu account was successfully registered.

Official announcements were pushed to every account.

A giant sky screen appeared above each virtual city, containing a notice of the establishment of the Myriad Paths Palace.

The closed beta test of the virtual world has ended, and those who did not receive a notification of account deletion within three days have not been notified.

Notifications regarding how to check if you have a beta test account, how to regain your login account, etc.

The announcement caused an uproar among cultivators worldwide, and forums, trending topics, and private chats exploded instantly.

Countless users flooded the official accounts of Wandaofu, Wandaocheng, and Caishenfu with inquiries.

Zhang Yuanfu was prepared; all official accounts have disabled their inquiry and feedback functions and are in a state of silence today, offering no response.

This is an order issued by the sect leader; there is no room for discussion and no need for explanation.

Upon receiving Zhang Yuanfu's request for assistance, Yang Qingshan immediately ordered the entire enforcement team to enter a state of combat readiness and stand by in various core locations of Wandao City.

A ban was issued in the name of the city lord's mansion.

Anyone found taking advantage of the situation to rebel should be executed on the spot, without reason or reporting.

The cultivator who had cultivated the Dao breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the golden "Dao" character behind his account.

Soon, people figured out the reason, as many of them came from the technological age.

Isn't this just a product offering free services to seize the market, attract new users, increase daily active users, and cultivate user habits?

Now that the product is mature, the user base is stable, and it's time to start reaping the rewards.

Liu Yunzhong of Hanzhong City, Hua Anbang of Zijin City, and others are people who follow the path of destiny.

They saw it more clearly: the sect leader was about to begin cultivating the destiny of the Great Longevity Sect.

They are not opposed to this because they are the beneficiaries of the system.

The popular sentiment and fortune generated by ordinary people and cultivators do not conflict with the fortune generated by cultivating the Dao.

A cultivator can provide them with fortune, and at the same time, provide fortune to the Longevity Sect.
