Chapter 365: Everyone Wants to Muddy the Waters

"Once they have achieved success in their cultivation, wouldn't it be even harder to control them if they return?" Xu Longyun asked.

These days, she had been responsible for handling matters related to the connection with the Real World, and she had long known what kind of people the players were; therefore, she had such concerns. Lin Bai's method was merely delaying the problem, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Xiaoyun, cultivation takes time. During the time they are cultivating and entangled with the Immortal World, I will strive to integrate the Immortal World as soon as possible. Once I unify the Three Realms, I will come back to sort out the order, and I can deal with whoever I want," Lin Bai said.

He had just bluffed Nan Lingtian, saying that unifying the Immortal World was for the sake of maintaining world peace; he hadn't expected it to come true in the blink of an eye. It was simply ridiculous.

If anyone else had said this, Xu Longyun would definitely have sneered at it.

But Lin Bai had conquered the world she was in in less than a year, and the Tribulation Transcendence alone had taken three months;

He had then conquered the Real World in two or three days; these two brilliant battle records were enough to prove his strength.

Xu Longyun's tense heart relaxed. As for whether the Immortal World would fall into chaos due to the entry of a large number of players,

She didn't take it to heart at all. Not to mention how the Immortal World treated those who ascended, her world had been treated as a game arena; besides Lin Bai, who else had stood up for them?

This was, after all, just a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

"Have Wuwang and Zhou Zu been found?"

The situation had suddenly become urgent, and Lin Bai remembered that wedding he had been dragging out and never held.

That wedding was blocking the Yuelao System's task.

"Not yet. Perhaps they were scared off by you, or perhaps they are unwilling to hold a wedding in front of the world, so they are hiding and dare not come out!" Xu Longyun's face flushed slightly, and with a hint of expectation, she asked, "Master, can't we hold our wedding first?"

"I need to use this to attain the Dao; without them, the attainment of the Dao will not be complete." Lin Bai looked at Xu Longyun and transmitted his voice, "Have the *Justice Weekly* step up their efforts to find them as soon as possible and publicize that any couple participating in this wedding, as long as their love is as firm as gold, will have the chance to become a Love Apostle."

Since it was about attaining the Dao, Xu Longyun couldn't say anything more.

With the current situation being so chaotic, pestering Lin Bai to hold the wedding wasn't realistic, let alone affecting his attainment of the Dao; she knew how to distinguish between the primary and the secondary.

Once the solution was thought of, they began to act.

Lin Bai mobilized the players of *Justice Weekly* and *Heavenly Dao Review* and urgently issued several notices:

First: Establish an Inspector Team among the players to patrol between towns via the Magpie Bridge, investigating a series of crimes committed by newly arrived game players. If the public is harassed, they can report it to the Inspector Team;

Those with minor offenses will be thrown into prison;

Those with serious offenses will be listed on the Justice Alliance blacklist, prohibited from cultivating techniques in sects under the Justice Alliance, prohibited from using the Magpie Bridge, prohibited from purchasing goods in shops under the Justice Alliance, and so on;

Second: Players who have obtained a Lucky Account can recommend themselves to the Justice Alliance. The Alliance will arrange for specialists to guide their cultivation based on their account attributes;

Third: The Justice Alliance plans to wage war on the Immortal World and intends to open the Magpie Bridge between the Mortal World and the Immortal World for players. By utilizing the dense Spirit Qi of the Immortal World, they can accelerate their growth speed. Players who enter the Immortal World can directly obtain the top-tier cultivation methods of various sects. By performing meritorious service in the battle against the Immortal World, they can obtain the qualification of being Lin Bai's grand-disciple and gain a fifty percent increase in cultivation speed...

All the terms were restricting the players' freedom in the Mortal World and relaxing the benefits of entering the Immortal World;

The purpose was to drive all players into the Immortal World in the shortest possible time.

Just as Lin Bai had expected, players keen on leveling up, even knowing that Lin Bai was using them, could not resist the temptation of the dense Spirit Qi of the Immortal World and rushed toward the Shengji Sect...

Otherwise.

Staying in the Mortal World had all sorts of restrictions, and playing the game wasn't fun at all.

The game players who entered later had long since figured out the game rules, and one by one they were already itching to go. Even though they knew this was the real world, they still wanted to treat it as a game to play.

Playing a game shouldn't have restrictions...

Once the *Justice Alliance* announcement was out, the various countries in the Xianxia World were suddenly busy, carrying out the diversion, registration, screening, and transportation of the players...

After consulting Cheng Xunyun, the consortium changed its strategy again and went directly to find Lin Bai to express their plan: by ascending in other places and opening up more Magpie Bridges to the Immortal World, they could use the players to blossom everywhere and fully infiltrate the Immortal World.

Ten million players suddenly entering the game was exactly when Lin Bai's control over the game was at its weakest; this was their best opportunity for growth.

Treat the Immortal World, which was not under Lin Bai's control, as the players' main battlefield, and stir the water as muddy as possible.

Otherwise, wait for Lin Bai to sort out the situation.

It wouldn't take many; as long as Lin Bai converted five hundred thousand of the ten million players into his fans, they would have no means to check and balance the players.

Lin Bai readily agreed to their idea; he discovered that he simply didn't have the life of someone who could plan things slowly.

This was fine too.

With players blossoming everywhere in the Immortal World, distracting the attention of the Celestials, perhaps he could also fish in troubled waters.

There were pros and cons!

Meanwhile.

Real World.

Lin Wubai was invited by diplomats from the Western Continent to hold a meeting regarding the current situation.

"Alliance Leader Lin, if the Game Company acts like this, both worlds will be destroyed. If possible, could you ask the seniors of the Justice Sect to stop them?"

General Chen looked at the cross-dressing Lin Bai before him, his words earnest.

Before.

Lin Bai had been trapped in the game world.

The world situation could barely maintain stability, but ever since Lin Bai's Soul Possession, one thing after another had followed in succession, stirring him into a state of exhaustion and giving him a feeling of being unable to cope.

Everyone present knew that the battle of wits between the Game Company and Lin Bai was the root cause of the chaos.

Facing the high-and-mighty Game Company and the Lin Bai who feared not that the world would be in chaos, not only was he unable to cope, but the whole world was also at a loss.

That was the crushing force from a higher civilization.

They couldn't even destroy the Game Capsules.

The ingredients of the Nutrient Solution inside the Game Capsules were unknown. With players lying inside, they wouldn't even feel hunger or thirst. If everyone went to play the game, how could national civilization move forward?

Ten million game accounts were suddenly issued, and the world economy was instantly on the verge of collapse. Now it was ten million, but what about thirty million or a hundred million later?

If everyone lay in the Game Capsules, would the country still exist?

Lin Bai glanced at him.

Are you truly worried about the world being destroyed? What you are worried about is the power in your hands disappearing!

Everyone entering the game, everyone returning to the same starting line, means a redistribution of power.

The group of people at the top of the pyramid are certainly not happy about it.

Lin Wubai thought for a moment and said, "The Righteous Gate cannot find the coordinates of the Game Company. The ancestors sent me out precisely to stop their conspiracy and ultimately force them out."

"But to force them out, the price we need to pay is too great," General Chen murmured.

"Without me helping you, you would still be unable to cope with the way they are boiling the frog in warm water," Lin Bai said. "Cutting the Gordian knot quickly, although there will be some losses, as long as the Game Company is solved, recovery will be fast."

"Alliance Leader Lin, can the Magpie Bridge connecting the two worlds be cut off?" General Chen and General Joseph, sent by the Western Continent, said in unison.

General Chen glanced at Joseph, signaling for him to speak first.

Joseph said, "Ten million Eastern Continent players who are like supermen can cause destruction to our world through the Magpie Bridge at any time. They are like a force that cannot be checked or balanced. Now, the people of the Western Continent live in fear every day. We must be responsible for the safety of the people."

General Chen said, "Alliance Leader, Joseph is right. Players are indeed a social hazard. The characteristic of being immortal will stimulate the desires deep in their hearts, making them no longer satisfied with the constraints of law and morality. The most urgent task is to cut off the Magpie Bridge to ensure the safety of other people. The Magpie Bridge is only suitable for opening when both worlds need to exchange materials."

"No problem," Lin Bai readily agreed. It was enough for him to maintain the power to build the Magpie Bridge to the Real World; there was no need to let the Real World fall into chaos as well.

He did not have the energy to deal with three chaotic worlds at the same time; that would be of no benefit to him.

Lin Bai actually agreed, which made General Chen somewhat surprised. He looked at the cross-dressed Lin Bai and asked, "Does Alliance Leader Lin not need to agree?"

"No need, I can make the decision," Lin Bai said. "But the resource mobilization and the construction in the Xianxia World cannot stop. This is what I promised, and I cannot go back on it."

"No problem." Having achieved the goal of isolating players from returning from the other world, General Chen knew when to stop.

Moreover, they also needed the resources of the other world to develop, and they did not want the Magpie Bridge to be completely cut off.

"Alliance Leader Lin, I implore you to also build a Magpie Bridge between the Western Continent and 'Shenmo Dalu'." Seeing Lin Bai and the Eastern Continent being so intimate, a thick jealousy rose in Joseph's heart.

Of course.

More of it was crisis.

The Xianxia World satisfied the Eastern Continent's demand for minerals. If this continued, it would not take long for the Western Continent to fall completely behind.

They also coveted the resources of 'Shenmo Dalu', and coveted the Magic Medicine and Magic Tool in 'Shenmo Dalu' that could increase human lifespan.

Without Lin Bai, starting a war would be the best choice, but now, they dared not...

The Magpie Bridge connected to the Real World, and the players of the Western Continent impulsively promoted the laws in Shenmo Dalu, exposing the Real World.

They had a very stiff relationship with the NPCs, and the players' identity as invaders was publicized, leading to a war between them and the NPCs.

Without Lin Bai's intervention, the level of players in Shenmo Dalu had always been restricted by NPCs.

In the suddenly started war, the players of Shenmo Dalu were completely suppressed by the NPCs and had already been forced to the edge of life and death.

They needed Lin Bai to go over to change the war situation and reverse the relationship between players and NPCs.

It would be best if Lin Bai could suppress the arrogant aura of the NPCs just like he did in 'Xianxia World'.

Before Lin Bai could speak, General Chen had already looked at Joseph and said with dissatisfaction, "General Joseph, the world is already chaotic enough."

Joseph did not give an inch: "General Chen, we also need to develop."

【The Great Heavenly Venerable should be the master of the universe. Upon learning of a new world, you should be brave in pioneering and opening up a new piece of land; Reward: Map (the places you pass through will be recorded in your mind in the form of a map)】

The Great Heavenly Venerable released a new task, and the reward was of the same vein as the marking and Positioning.

Lin Bai secretly engaged in Belly-Defamation.

The one who truly fears that the world will not be in chaos is the system!

Regarding the places involved with the Game Company, these systems would try every possible way to get involved, regardless of whether he could handle it or not.

He had the heart to throw the new task aside, but the reward for this task was too easy to get; he simply couldn't resist. At worst, he would open the Magpie Bridge first, go over to make a mark, and close it again later.

Thus.

Lin Wubai looked at Joseph: "Fine, I can open a Magpie Bridge for you."

"Alliance Leader Lin, the Western Continent Alliance thanks you for your wisdom." Joseph was stunned, then overjoyed, and stood up to salute Lin Bai.

"Alliance Leader Lin, you cannot be impulsive. The world is already chaotic enough. The people of the Western Continent have impulsive and extreme personalities, and they are capable of doing anything. Once they return to the Real World..."

General Chen was shocked and completely disregarded diplomatic language, saying it bluntly. At this moment, he even thought that Lin Bai had seen through their plan and wanted to use the Western Continent to check and balance them.

"Chen, can I consider this your slander against us on behalf of the Eastern Continent?" Joseph's face sank, and he looked at General Chen coldly.

"I am doing this for world peace." General Chen retorted, "The Magpie Bridge is a factor that causes world instability. We have already closed the Magpie Bridge here, why do you still want to open it there? Do you have the confidence to control the players entering the game?"

"We will strictly screen everyone who crosses the Magpie Bridge. Moreover, we also need the materials from the other world." Joseph looked at Lin Bai, "General Chen, we are also victims of the Game Company and need to contribute to Alliance Leader Lin's plan. After all, 'Xianxia World' had its progress destroyed by Alliance Leader Lin, but the game of 'Shenmo Dalu' has always been in the hands of the Game Company and has not suffered any damage, hasn't it?"

Lin Wubai looked at Joseph with surprise: "That's right."

General Chen's head started to ache again. He took a deep breath: "Alliance Leader, I have to tell you, the players of 'Shenmo Dalu' have not achieved control over the game at all. Opening the Magpie Bridge will likely plunge everyone into endless disputes."

"Sooner or later, Alliance Leader Lin will enter 'Shenmo Dalu'. I think the sooner the better. Currently, we are on the same front. Our players being suppressed is of no benefit to the alliance," Joseph said. "General Chen, the players of 'Shenmo Dalu' need the Alliance Leader's support and help."

"Currently, Alliance Leader Lin needs to concentrate all his energy to fight the Immortal World." General Chen retorted, "Otherwise, I would not have taken the initiative to propose closing the Magpie Bridge."

Lin Wubai looked at the two people arguing fiercely, and his thoughts suddenly became clear. He tapped the table lightly and said, "I understand what you mean. General Chen, General Joseph is right. I do need to understand the situation of 'Shenmo Dalu' and help the players of the Western Continent gain a foothold in the game. If possible, I will also lead them into the Immortal World and completely stir up the waters of the Immortal World. We can plan how to gather the power of the three worlds to quickly flatten the Immortal World. As for what conflicts you two have, you can completely solve them in the game..."

General Chen and Joseph were stunned at the same time; neither of them expected Lin Bai to come up with such an idea.

A moment later.

Joseph said: "Fine, I agree with the Alliance Leader's statement. It is time to let those stupid NPCs of 'Shenmo Dalu' see the truth of the world."

General Chen considered it and said: "Putting the conflict in the Immortal World is indeed a good way to solve the problem."

For him, as long as the players were not brought to the Real World, anything was fine!
