...
A group of people crowded around the announcement board, shouting excitedly and discussing heatedly.
"Holy crap, holy crap! This time the game's promotion didn't deceive me, I'm actually playing the real 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'! Truly all about devouring, and then becoming an ancestor of a race?"
"You don't get it, becoming one of the three thousand Divine Beast Ancestors who rebooted heaven and earth, as per the process, Jiu Shui from next door will become an Immortal, come back and preach, granting opportunities to the racial ancestors."
"Wow, I want to hit the rankings, the list of 3000 Divine Beasts, I must make it! I want to see Jiu Shui, I'm going to buy a Kun at the start and evolve!"
"Hahaha, I'm going to evolve into the first red cloud that opened up heaven and earth, and then go listen to the Dao!"
"I want to become a racial ancestor, and then I can manage a whole race tribe, and have all my Divine Beast descendants, generation after generation, wouldn't that be awesome?"
"Forget about Phoenixes and Cyan Dragons, those are outdated Divine Beasts. I want to create new Four Great Divine Beasts: Dream, Hypnotic, Groudon, Fat-headed Fish!"
"Crazy."
...
Everyone's eyes were full of light, imagining the future.
In the crowd, there was praise for the planners who thought this update was so cool.
Some were analyzing deeply, noting that the planner cleverly launched a new main storyline.
Let new blacksmiths participate in the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' evolution game, Big Fish Eat Small Fish.
Let veteran blacksmiths participate in the opening storyline of the Immortal Realm version.
A balance where both sides were busy, very clever.
Of course, some veteran blacksmiths who weren't doing so well didn't want to participate in the Immortal Realm version:
"I want to sit at the kids' table and play the evolutionary 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' with them."
"Some kids were just born a few days ago, you're snatching their plot to bully them?"
"You bastards are NPCs, how can you jump in to grab players' leaderboard rewards?"
"When sitting at the store's checkout, I'm an NPC, but usually, I'm still a baby."
...
No matter how you look at it, all the players are pumped, eager to start a binge-devouring novel game right now.
Becoming one of the Nine-State's ancestors is too cool.
It's a way to be immortalized and eternally recorded on the Civilization Memorial.
The players began to get extraordinarily busy, starting to grind and work hard.
The genuine indigenous NPCs nearby, like the No-Life Whale and others, couldn't help but feel nervous.
All present here are Embers, each one easily over a hundred thousand years old; could we really lose to these idiots?
We too should hit the ranks and become one of the Divine Beast ancestors.
Thinking of this, everyone spontaneously began to tighten their ambitions.
Meanwhile, there were some breakthroughs in the research and development of Immortal Stones.
Just the day after the updated version, Ning Zheng quickly received a report:
"This is a more advanced energy structure."
"The energy burst effect is more than ten times that of ordinary Spiritual Qi, with a smaller storage area but high energy purity."
"Essentially, an Immortal is similar to a super life form... This life form is akin to an empty cell battery, only able to absorb related same-attribute energy from its own system."
"But Immortal Power boasts a strong compatibility, Immortals from any different system can absorb this power."
Ning Zheng understood.
For instance, as an Immortal of the Nine-State, I would be suppressed in the Celestial Destiny World, because the system energy born from the Celestial Destiny system, Metal Ancestral Tomb, differs from my system.
Absorbing the energy from the Celestial Destiny World leads to low conversion, and my mana recovery is suppressed.
Whereas Immortal Qi, considered universal energy, has incredibly high purity, compatible with all systems.
No wonder it's a universal currency!
Due to its strong compatibility, Immortals from any system can use Immortal Stones for cultivation.
Immortal Stones have also become the most popular currency.
With that, the fundamental framework of the Immortal Realm was something Ning Zheng had a decent understanding of.
Yet, he believed any ambitious Immortal who dwells in the Immortal Realm long enough would grasp this principle.
But knowing the principle of someone's monopoly and breaking that monopoly is a challenge of a different level.
"Looks like I need to pay a visit to the place of origin."
Ning Zheng had just made a breakthrough, and there was some time before the next realm transition; it was a good opportunity to visit the Immortal Realm, explore the way personally.
With that in mind, he fixated his gaze on the Night Emperor.
This figure had just escorted Jiu Shui to the Celestial Destiny World for seclusion, and his vacation was about to end, as he was prepared to return to the Immortal Realm, ready to work as a miner and learn the art of brick-laying.
Ning Zheng decided to hitch a ride with the Night Emperor to the Immortal Realm.
Thinking of this, Ning Zheng sent a message to the Night Emperor: "Take a few pseudo-human Three Flowers with you when you go to the Immortal Realm."
The Night Emperor was taken aback; is this to cause a heavenly disaster in the Immortal Realm? What a boss, really daring to directly challenge the Immortal Realm? I, Tao Ancestor Night Emperor, an Immortal Realm miner, recognize you as the strongest!
"No problem, it's a small matter."
The Night Emperor made a detour to the Nine-State, swung by the Sword Casting Manor to collect a few Three Flowers, interacted a bit with the blacksmiths, encouraged them, and left a message:
"I'll be waiting for you in the Immortal Realm."
Then decisively took off, leaving the Nine-State, heading for the Immortal Realm again.
In the Immortal Realm, the Night Emperor passed security checks, then walked into a lush green forest, casually dropping a few Iron Wire Three Flowers, and then turned to leave.
The Iron Wire Three Flowers moved nimbly like long-legged spiders, crawling swiftly through the undergrowth, quickly spotting a target, a small white rabbit.
Slash!
The iron wire took advantage of the rabbit's inattention, suddenly launching a surprise attack from behind, with sharp claws and hooks piercing into the back of the rabbit's head.
The rabbit's nervous system was paralyzed instantly, and the Three Flowers slowly peeled back the flesh, stabbing inside, vanishing within the rabbit's body.
Shortly after, Ning Zheng slowly opened the rabbit's red eyes, "The first time using this login system, logging into a rabbit, doesn't seem half bad."
He silently felt the mysterious Immortal Qi in this area.
Eye of Identification!
The surrounding trees, flowers, and grass all flashed with numbers.
[Name: ??? (Unnamed)]
[Immortal Qi Energy Level: 1 (Immortal Qi cannot be analyzed)]
All in this type of numerical data.
Clearly, the large sum I spent earlier was worth it.
Directly incorporated Ai, the assistant into the Nine Chapters of Immortal Artifact, the identification eye brought by the Nine Chapters was also integrated into the server.
Although the principles of Immortal Qi couldn't be discerned,
it sufficed to allow Ning Zheng to better observe this mysterious world, the land of legends filled with countless immortals.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Ning Zheng sensed two figures swiftly passing overhead, creating a terrifying sonic boom, seemingly in a fierce conflict, with energy levels apparently of the Immortal grade.
"This world indeed seems quite dangerous."
Ning Zheng, as a small rabbit, hopped into the grass, leaving a few pseudo-human Three Flowers behind, preparing to find some powerful creatures to possess.
