Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

Amidst the turmoil of his thoughts, the president already had a vague yet certain answer in his mind regarding the mastermind behind this manipulation of world destiny and the overturning of the global order—

Civil service group!

The current federation is nothing more than a puppet regime placed on the world stage by the civilian government, a pawn in their global game of control.

After lying dormant for a thousand years, it has reappeared in a single day.

"But I will never admit defeat."

The president slowly clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white, a stubborn fire burning in his eyes: "I will fight to the end, to the death!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The sudden sound of the door being pushed open abruptly broke the silence inside the room.

The White House secretary, looking flustered, rushed into the office with an urgent report in hand, his breathing rapid and his voice trembling with barely concealed pain: "Mr. President! Something terrible has happened! The Pacific Fleet..."

The president's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with seriousness: "The war has already begun? What are the casualties at the front?"

He subconsciously reached out and touched the tabletop, his fingertips precisely touching the edge of the nuclear launch button, his heart pounding with tension.

Absolutely no mistakes are allowed.

He repeatedly warned himself that he must be vigilant at all times and never confuse the nuclear button that ends civilization with the Coca-Cola button.

"It's not war! Mr. President, it's not a war!"

The secretary shook her head frantically, her expression growing increasingly horrified, her voice utterly panicked: "It's over the battlefield! In the core airspace where the two Pacific armies are locked in a standoff, a girl has appeared out of thin air!"

A young girl?

Appearing on the sea... Is it a ghost seeking revenge on Einstein?

The president was startled and immediately took the tablet from his secretary, his eyes fixed on the screen.

In the real-time aerial footage, the Pacific Ocean stretched out in a vast expanse of blue, and the sky was crystal clear. But right in the center of the airspace where the two armies were locked in a tense standoff, the smooth sky suddenly tore open, revealing a dark and deep spatial rift, as if the heavens themselves had split open, and an extraordinary phenomenon had occurred.

A petite figure slowly stepped out from the crevice.

The young girl stood in mid-air, floating on the void, her aura dominating the heavens and earth; she wore a bright yellow dragon robe, the dragon embroidery shining brightly in the sunlight, exuding majesty and imperial aura.

And behind her—

The pitch-black rift continued to extend and expand, and billions of armored legions and divine soldiers from the heavens emerged in formation, their banners obscuring the sky, their murderous aura overwhelming, their boundless military might sweeping across the entire sea area, silencing both fleets!

"Boom—"

The president's mind exploded, his pupils contracted sharply, his body froze on the spot, and a monstrous storm surged within him:

"Could it be that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has returned to seek revenge on the civil service?"

…………

Meanwhile, in the high skies of the Pacific theater.

A long wind howled, stirring the dragon robes into a fluttering motion. Ji Yushen, hovering in the air, surveyed the thousands of fleets facing each other below. A chilling arrogance flashed in her eyes, and her clear, domineering voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, echoing across the four seas—

"He has always been a madman and a fanatic, questioning the yin and yang and the universe."

"A million years of planning and accumulation have culminated in this day of my immortality!"

She slowly raised her eyes, sensing the surging ferocity and murderous aura of the entire sea, and a wild, unrestrained laugh curled at the corner of her lips!

A rich and vast aura of war laws permeated the air, and the hatred, fighting, confrontation, and obsession with killing among countless nations intertwined and merged, transforming into the purest power of war, which continuously flowed into her body.

The nations of the world viewed each other as enemies, their mutual hostility as profound as the hatred between them, a hatred so deep it was as if they had killed each other's Old Feng.

"A golden opportunity!"

Ji Yushen laughed loudly, his laughter piercing through the clouds and shaking the sea: "With the blessing of such a magnificent and vast symbol of war, I will be able to crush Sylvia, capture Freya, and subdue Li Xianyu in an instant, seize all the world's source matter, and achieve the crown of immortality!"

When Sylvia and her companions sealed the abyss on the moon in 1999, they only targeted the three demons: Darkness, the Unknown, and Hunger, leaving a passage for Himegami to descend to Earth.

Now, the flames of war are sweeping the globe, the ultimate concept of war and endless killing intent have broken through the shackles of heaven and earth, and the primordial demon of war, Himegami, has finally dared to step out of the abyss—

Arrive on Earth!

Chapter 169, The Useless Game, The Useless Emperor, The Useless Mindset

High in the sky, dragon robes billowed, and a menacing aura blotted out the sun.

Ji Yushen stood before the array of millions of armored divine soldiers. All the confrontations, battles, hostility, and obsessions of killing in the world were transformed into concepts and frantically poured into her divine body.

The oppressive force of the demon of war intensified, causing the entire Pacific Ocean to tremble violently. Towering waves rose out of nowhere, only to collapse under its divine might. Below, the densely packed fleets of both nations ceased firing and turning, their guns lowered, and thousands of soldiers remained silent, not daring to even breathe too heavily.

"Earth... your emperor has returned."

Ji Yushen raised his hand and clenched it lightly. A jet-black war flame rose from his palm, burning away the surrounding clouds. His eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain for all worlds.

After Sylvia and the others left the Abyss in 1999, Himegami was not idle; instead, she was plotting her own descent—first, Earth needed enough war to strengthen her power.

However, despite constant friction, the Earth was largely peaceful in 1999.

Therefore, she transformed the concepts of "evil aura" and "malice" of war into a "Book of Sin" and bestowed it upon a war apostle on Earth who believed in her. Anyone who picks up this "Book of Sin" will feel boundless malevolence and evil aura, be filled with anger and hatred towards strangers, have a heart full of the desire to judge others, and frantically increase the malevolence of humanity.

The war demon apostle who received the book was also a genius; she channeled the book's power onto the internet, creating a website.

It's called "Little X Book," and it's meant to amplify human aggression.

Unfortunately, Sylvia and her friends discovered Himegami's plan and founded miHoYo, starting to release works like "Honkai Impact 3rd," which promotes "fighting for all that is good in the world." They also introduced a great character like Alicia, who promotes the beauty of humanity.

This move dealt a heavy blow to Himegami's plans.

So Himeko came up with a new trick and created the "Book of Sin," which recorded the words and deeds of the most sinful person in Valhalla, Sun Xiaochuan, who broke Buzhou Mountain and caused the flood. It was called the "bible of evil people" and was given to the people of Earth.

This time, the war apostle who received the post also used the power of the post to create a website, which was called Tieba.

result……

Sylvia and her team's company, miHoYo, has actually released "Ghost God"!

What a perfect game that was!

Players have ridden the winds and chased poetry with Barbatos, kept their promises with the Rock King, comprehended eternity with the Thunder General, gained insight into wisdom with Buyer, and performed justice with Fucarus... All players were moved by the vivid storyline of that game, their hearts were healed, and even those with depression recovered. It can be said that "Gen Shen" saved too many lives.

Moreover, "Ghost" has constructed such a magnificent world view - the wind of Mondstadt, the mountains of Liyue, the sand of Sumeru, the water of Fontaine, how is it different from reality!?

As a result, far too many players can no longer distinguish between the game and reality, and their intense hostility has vanished.

Himegami cannot tolerate this!

As a demon of war, she is only good at and loves war. She will give me all the romance and beauty!

Thus, as one of the strongholds of the War Apostles, Tieba began to viciously slander and scold "Gen Shen" and miHoYo, and also began to post articles saying that playing "Gen Shen" is really addictive. Even the War Apostles all over the world colluded to form a million-strong Zelda army and started the plagiarism storm against "Gen Shen"!

However, not only did Genshin Impact survive, it also became one of the greatest games of all time!

Finally, Himeko came up with a third idea—since she couldn't defeat "Yuan Shen," she would plagiarize it!

So what if Mondstadt has wind and Liyue has mountains?

Huanglong Jinzhou also has mountains, and Lina Xita also has water!

Under the scheme of the War Apostles, "Mingchao" was born out of nowhere, carrying countless players full of hostility, and was finally able to compete with the players of "Yuanshen" in the community; then it declared war on "Yuanshen", "Bengtie" and the entire world of second games!

Just when Ji Yushen thought that Sylvia and the others were about to have a final showdown with her in the Eryou Community, who knew that instead of releasing "Yuanshen" as planned, "Yuanshen" was taken down and replaced with "Yuanshen: Song of the Empty Moon"!

Now that things have come to this, there's only one answer—

Winter didn't do anything! Sylvia and the others surrendered!

Everything that followed was exactly as Himegami had predicted—her war apostles kept stirring up trouble, and finally, with no one to stop them, they ignited this world-class war. Then, with the endless symbols and concepts brought about by the war, she finally took a step further after fully mastering the essence of [Victory], and gained the power to defeat the three true gods!

"strength!"

Boundless killing intent transformed into a gigantic, roaring head of a general, hovering beside Himegami—its name was "Lord of Billions of Radiance," a war angel simulating the essence of [Victory], in charge of terror, courage, and glory!

"wisdom!"

Countless military treatises coalesced behind Himeko, transforming into a wise man with white hair, standing behind Himeko—his name was "Lord of Wind, Rain and Snow," an unknown angel simulating the source of [wisdom], in charge of the cunning and treachery of strategy, change, and destiny!

"life!"

The Valkyries of Valhalla gathered around Himegami, becoming one with her to pray for her—her name is "Eternal Burning Heart," a plague angel simulating the [Mercy] essence, who governs life, equality, and sharing—Nurgle!

"Pleasure!"

Within the divine realm, the songstresses who accompanied the heroic spirits transformed into a pink mist, eventually coalescing into a bewitching pink girl—named "Dreamy Free Soul," a memory angel simulating the [Understanding] source matter, in charge of Slaanesh, the god of love, pleasure, and art!

While Ji Yushen might be a mere mortal in a melee combat setting, in terms of sheer talent, his ability and skill in manipulating power and concepts, Ji Yushen is a peerless genius who appears only once every thousand years in the previous cycle of reincarnation, the faith and hope of the entire Elf Empire!

For example, in the Dungeon War and the War of the Demons, the "False Godhood" created by the [Glory] Source, the "Emperor" card, and the other four legendary flames, which allowed a mortal god to wield divine power, was researched by Himegami!

And during her 120,000 years in the abyss, even without the power of the concept of war, she never stopped thinking:

"Since a divine position can be borrowed, can the immortal crown also be borrowed?"

Ultimately, Himegami created these four angels that simulated other source substances—simply by infusing them with a large amount of malevolent energy and merging them with Himegami, they could break through the shackles of true gods and primordial demons and approach the realm of immortality and eternity!

Even if Sylvia, Freya, and Li Xianyu were to fight against her simultaneously, Ji Yushen would not be afraid at all!

Unless they can conjure three more portions of source energy... but how is that even possible? Hahahaha!

"The world of reincarnation, the star gods from beyond the heavens, the immortal crown... Now, everything will fall into my hands!"

Feeling that immense power, Ji Yushen laughed loudly, his voice shaking the four seas and eight wastelands: "From this day forward, all the world's primordial essence will be under my control, and the crown of immortality will fall upon my body! After 120,000 years of silence and forbearance, today I will overturn the old order and reign supreme over heaven and earth!"

Just as she was brimming with confidence and about to sweep everything away, a calm and gentle male voice suddenly pierced through the murderous aura and resounded throughout the sky—

"is it?"

The wind suddenly stopped, and the waves suddenly ceased.

In the void, a tall, slender figure slowly stepped out, his steps composed.

It was Cheng Cheng!

He had arrived in this airspace at some point, standing quietly not far from Ji Yushen, his expression calm and undisturbed.

"...It's you, you petty thief who stole from my ancestors."

Ji Yushen's eyes narrowed, then he sneered, his eyes full of contempt: "Twelve thousand years have passed, how come you've gotten so thin?"

Cheng Cheng touched his thin cheeks, and his kidneys started to ache again.

"hehe."

Ji Yushen looked down at her and suddenly said, "According to Sylvia, this world is your world. You must know the heroes of this era. Tell me about them."
