Chapter 367: Lord of the Three Realms

The players in the cave were still shocked as to why a Magpie Bridge had appeared beneath John's feet.

The next moment.

Lin Bai and the others had already arrived in Shenmo Dalu via the Magpie Bridge.

……

"Lin Bai?"

"Heavens, he actually came."

"I even saw the Council President."

"Partners, at a time like this, if I use a Cross Slash to take out this group of foolish high-ranking council officials, the United States will truly be restored to freedom, right!"

……

Lin Bai heard the private chat voices of the Shenmo Dalu players and couldn't help but glance at the high-ranking officials from the United States, who were entering the game for the first time with faces full of curiosity.

It must be said, the authorities of the Western Continent are truly unpopular!

As his main body stepped into Shenmo Dalu, a notification of task completion arrived in Lin Bai's mind: 【Open a new chapter of land (Completed); Reward: Map (Issued)】

Following the issuance of the reward.

Four maps appeared in Lin Bai's mind.

The maps were like small windows displayed on a game interface; the places he had walked through were all lit up, while the places he had not set foot in remained shrouded in fog.

The Immortal World only had the areas around Songshi City and the Black Stone Mountain Range lit up;

The map of the Mortal World was the most vast, and except for remote areas, almost the entire territory was revealed.

After all, his split soul had stepped into almost every city to set up the Magpie Bridge, and in some places with high mountains and dense forests, he had hidden flying heads, which could also be considered as indirectly uncovering the map;

As for the Real World, the map of the Eastern Continent where the Magpie Bridge had been set up was lit up, while only a small piece of the Western Continent was lit up;

And Shenmo Dalu was completely shrouded in fog, with only this small patch of land where he stood being lit up……

Lin Bai tried zooming in and out of the map; on the lit-up map, one could clearly see the bricks on the streets, only, there were no living creatures.

Next, the split soul should have something to do.

Lin Bai had obsessive-compulsive disorder; with a map in his mind, he naturally would not allow any places on the map to remain unlit.

Moreover, the map would definitely have other uses in the future, so it had to be treated as a serious matter.

Immediately after.

The Great Heavenly Venerable System gave a new task: 【Conquer the current land and incorporate it into your ruling territory; Reward: Oracle (You can project your consciousness into the mind of any creature marked by you)】

Is this a long-distance version of Being Read Mind?

Lin Bai muttered; this was a terrifying skill. The previously rewarded marking had no limit on the number of people, so theoretically, he could mark everyone.

Projecting consciousness to all marked creatures—that would be a true Oracle!

It must be said.

Every task reward from the system is very tempting!

……

While Lin Bai was studying the task rewards.

Others were also sizing up this novel world; many people were stepping into a game world for the first time.

Players from the Xianxia World were chatting with players from Shenmo Dalu using broken Western Continent language, each showing off their skills to the other;

Wind Riding and Flight Technique; the spells of the Xianxia World and Magic, etc., made the onlookers dazzled……

The Spirit Qi of Shenmo Dalu was a different form, more suitable for the operation of Magic and an energy called Battle Qi.

The Spirit Qi needed by the Xianxia World players still existed; although thin, both players and natives could absorb it, which was better than the situation in the Real World.

However, once both sides started a war here, the Xianxia World players, whose Spirit Qi recovered slowly, would definitely be suppressed;

The NPC natives of the Justice Alliance could not understand the players' conversation at all and had to ask Cheng Xunyun to act as their translator;

Cheng Xunyun was originally Lin Bai's dedicated translator, but Lin Bai had suddenly become proficient in the Western Continent language and no longer needed him; he didn't mind building rapport with the natives of the Justice Alliance.

Getting along well with anyone is a necessary skill for a diplomat;

That priest called 【Bishop King Arthur】 was reporting the current situation to General Johnson, with the God of War's body listening attentively nearby.

At this time.

The location they were in was called Red Wolf Valley, a temporarily constructed stronghold.

The total number of players was about twenty thousand; fifty miles away was a city called Free City, and those fighting against them were the Third Knight Legion of the Holy Light Sect and the City Guard of Free City.

The clearing operation had been going on for two days; the players' levels were not too high compared to the natives, and the various sects of Shenmo Dalu had not mobilized more troops.

The number of the Free City Knight Legion and City Guard was not as high as the players, however, they were well-equipped and proficient in battle formation coordination.

Relying on their Undying Body and privately developed gunpowder weapons, the players barely managed not to fall behind during the fighting.

Both sides had been locked in a stalemate for two days.

However.

The Third Priest Legion of the Holy Light Sect was already on the way to provide support, and leading the Priest Legion was a four-winged angel; once they arrived, the players, whose levels were constantly being depleted, would definitely not be able to hold on……

……

John also entered the game through the Magpie Bridge.

He looked at his body in the game controlled by Lin Bai, a light of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"John, how did you enter the game? Who is controlling your game character?" A priest called 【Angel's Light】 saw John, looking surprised.

"My dear, it's Lin Bai; he used the method of Soul Possession to use my body." John shrugged his shoulders, looked at his lover, and blinked, "Jenny, I have to say, seeing you with my real body, you are still full of charm!"

"John, will he always share a body with you?" Jenny looked curiously at John's Saint Knight body and pursed her lips; her focus was clearly not on the same channel as John's.

"I suppose so!" John suddenly realized the awkwardness between lovers; he looked at Lin Bai awkwardly, seemingly wanting to seek an accurate answer.

But Lin Bai had no time to care about these trivial matters at this moment, having sorted out the system rewards.

He then beckoned everyone to come outside the cave.

At the wide lower end, Lin Bai used the Magpie Bridge for the members of the Justice Alliance he had brought.

The Magpie Bridge spread out in all directions.

Some connected to the Mortal World, while others connected to the Immortal World.

Once you occupy a territory, you must, of course, hold onto it.

As long as you possess the Magpie Bridge, you can advance to attack and retreat to defend.

The Magpie Bridge streaked across the sky like a rainbow, eventually disappearing into the clouds; it was spectacular and beautiful, immediately startling everyone on the battlefield.

……

"The Magpie Bridge, it's the Magpie Bridge……"

"Lin Bai has come to Shenmo Dalu, we are saved."

"I really hope Lin Bai can turn Shenmo Dalu upside down just like he did in the Xianxia World."

"I want to join his Justice Alliance."

"We are going to counterattack the Free City and let those stupid NPCs witness the power of the Law."

……

Many players saw the Magpie Bridge, immediately abandoned the battles they were currently engaged in, shouted Lin Bai's name, and flew toward the location where the Magpie Bridge originated.

Their enemies also subconsciously stopped fighting; mages wearing various Dharma Robes and knights riding Flying Dragons flew into the sky, wanting to touch the Magpie Bridge and examine its composition……

【Joy from Jack the Ripper, the Magician, the Angry Postman……; +1+1+1】

【Panic from Garnett, Karl, Timothy……; +1+1+1+1】

……

As the Magpie Bridge rose into the sky, the emotions in Lin Bai's mind erupted in a rapid surge; the battlefield quieted down temporarily, leaving only the shouting of the players in the air.

"Alliance Leader, can you help us build a Magpie Bridge to the Real World?" Seeing the several Magpie Bridges rising into the air, the Council President grew a bit anxious.

After all, the current Magpie Bridge connected to the Western Continent was based on Lin Bai himself.

If Lin Bai left, the Magpie Bridge would disappear, which was too inconvenient.

"Alliance Leader, one Magpie Bridge is not enough for us to use," Joseph said. "Players in Shenmo Dalu are in a difficult situation now; we need to transport modern weapons to conquer Shenmo Dalu."

Cheng Xunyun glanced at Joseph and sneered at what he said.

The thinking of people from the Western Continent was too barbaric.

This was clearly the rhythm of colonization.

If modernized weapons of mass destruction entered Shenmo Dalu, the players and the natives would truly be locked in a fight to the death; only when one side completely conquered the other would there be no room for reconciliation.

Moreover, Shenmo Dalu had all kinds of magical spells, and weapons of mass destruction might not necessarily hurt them; the ones who would be unlucky were the civilians of this other world.

Although Lin Bai was overbearing, he had never harmed civilians from beginning to end; if he wanted to be the Lord of the Three Realms, he would absolutely not bear the infamy for the Western Continent.

"Wait a moment, let me take a stronghold first."

Lin Bai looked up at the mages in the sky and suddenly disappeared from everyone's side.

The next second.

He had already appeared above the sky, and following him was the War God Body.

Nan Lingtian had been retracted into a card by him; Lin Bai was currently displaying the Golden Realm, and the War God Body was at the Bronze Realm.

In the Mortal World of the Xianxia World, once these two realms started fighting, they would attract a Heavenly Tribulation.

He did not know if Shenmo Dalu had the concept of a Heavenly Tribulation.

But the world should not allow the existence of power that exceeded what the world itself could bear.

Lin Bai did not want to challenge the rules of Shenmo Dalu.

There were too many people present; if he really attracted a lightning tribulation, although his current cultivation level did not fear that the lightning tribulation would hurt him, he could not afford to waste the time……

But if the realm was too high, one would naturally carry a powerful aura, sufficient to form a deterrent against those inferior to them.

Looking at Lin Bai and the War God Body opposite them,

the NPCs floating in the sky of Shenmo Dalu felt a powerful, suffocating pressure.

The Flying Dragon under the Saint Knight retracted its claws into its belly, lowered its head toward Lin Bai, and let out whimpers of submission, not daring to make any moves.

Beside the knight, a mage wearing a red robe suppressed the palpitations in his heart and bowed to Lin Bai: "Respected powerhouse, I am Garnett, a Red-robed Mage of the Holy Light Sect. May I ask where you come from? Has our war disturbed you? If so, please allow me to express my deepest apologies to you on behalf of the Holy Light Sect."

"I am Lin Bai, from the distant Xianxia World, the Law King proclaimed by those players, and the Alliance Leader of the Justice Alliance. I wish to speak with those who can make decisions in your world." Lin Bai looked down at the Knight Order on the battlefield below, his tone calm.

The legions on the ground included knights wearing heavy armor and riding horses while holding long spears, archers carrying longbows, mages wearing Dharma Treasures, and priests wearing white robes……

At the knights' feet, golden or white halos were coiled; these should be buff spells cast on them by mages.

The mages hid behind transparent protective shields, holding magic wands and chanting spells to launch attacks.

On the battlefield.

Many players' corpses had not disappeared after being killed and were scattered everywhere in disarray; some had been hacked to death by sharp blades, some had been pierced by ground spikes rising from the earth, some had been burned to death by fire, and some had been struck to death by lightning……

Looking down from the sky, the entire battlefield was like a giant meat grinder, looking exceptionally tragic.

A rare sight.

Of course.

This was for Lin Bai; in the worlds he had stirred up, the players had actually never fought a proper war or two.

In terms of game participation, the players of the Xianxia World were clearly not as satisfied as the players of Shenmo Dalu; without Lin Bai, the current situation should be the norm for players and NPCs.

……

On the other side of the battlefield.

The players from the Western Continent looked at the Knight Legion intimidated by Lin Bai, their faces beaming with excitement.

The commander on the players' side, 【Great White Shark】, shouted loudly: "Alliance Leader Lin, these stupid natives do not believe in the power of the Law; please give them a lesson. We are willing to join the Justice Alliance and fight against the Game Company."

"Alliance Leader Lin, please help us reclaim our lost property; these natives have gone too far," a player said.

……

Lin Bai ignored the clamoring players.

With his sights set on the Immortal World, he no longer had any interest in taking action against those inferior to him.

For an adult to bully a child is a hollow victory.

Garnett the Red-robed Mage also heard the players' shouts; his expression was not pleasant, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said politely, "Great Mr. Lin, I will convey your wishes to the Cult Leader, but this may take some time..."

"Garnett, you can tell your Cult Leader, as well as all the powerhouses you are in contact with, about my abilities exactly as they are," Lin Bai smiled slightly. "The Magpie Bridge in the sky is set there; if they want to challenge me, I can come over at any time. There is only one chance. If they lose, I want to be the master of this world."

"..." A smile appeared on Garnett's face involuntarily, but before he could speak.

An incredible scene unfolded on the battlefield.

The well-trained knights of the Knight Legion suddenly dropped the weapons in their hands, turned their horses around, and charged toward the priests at the back of the formation. Like madmen, they began performing all sorts of talents for them; some were singing, some were dancing, and others were coordinating with their own warhorses to perform juggling acts...

On the battlefield.

There were screams and shouts rising and falling everywhere.

No one knew what had happened.

Why were they acting like this?

All the color drained from Garnett's face: "Mr. Lin, they... what is wrong with them?"

"This is one of the laws I have mastered—Fengqiuhuang; I can command anyone to court another at any time," Lin Bai smiled. "If you had paid attention to those players' publications, you would know that this is one of the divine abilities within the Law of Love that I practice. I have mastered even more powerful divine abilities, but I am merciful and do not wish to create too much slaughter in this world, so I will not demonstrate them to you one by one. If you want to understand the laws in more detail, you can ask the players over there..."

Seeing the Knight Legion that had been oppressing them being tormented by Lin Bai like clowns, the players from the Western Continent became instantly excited, and a chorus of whistles rang out.

Some players even arrogantly used Flight Technique to get close to the Fengqiuhuang Group to observe them at close range—or, one could say, to livestream them at close range.

After using Fengqiuhuang, the Emotion Value in Lin Bai's backend did not stop rising.

The audience in the Western Continent did not share a language with the Eastern Continent; for a long time, even though Lin Bai was the absolute star of the Xianxia World, their attention remained mostly on the Gods and Demons World.

It was not until Lin Bai entered the Real World that they found and studied a great deal of information about him in detail.

But watching data is not as satisfying as a live broadcast...

Before Lin Bai, the players had been retreating steadily under the pursuit of the Knight Legion.

Many players who had just obtained game accounts were being killed by the natives to the point where they could not play normally; they desperately needed a hero to save them.

Lin Bai, handsome and dashing, having changed the situation of the war with a flick of his finger, was effectively their hero.

Moreover, Lin Bai spoke with a local accent that made them feel a sense of intimacy.

This made them quickly identify with Lin Bai and treat him as one of their own.

After all, Lin Bai came from another world and was not a person from the Eastern Continent; such a powerhouse was someone anyone could claim.
