Chapter 381: Lin Bai Wants to Get Married When the Situation is at Its Most Chaotic?

~15 min read 2,963 words

"Holy crap, the leveling speed in the Immortal World is just awesome; one day is worth at least a month down below," a player named Hua fei hua said with pleasant surprise. "Leveling here and then going back to the Mortal World to show off—it's a total blast."

"We can't go back, brother, don't you know? The Magpie Bridge leading to the Mortal World has been severed," Wu li hua said. "Lin Bai needs us to stir up trouble in the Immortal World; how could he possibly let us go back?"

"Just die and go back!" Hua fei hua glanced at him and said triumphantly, "The Immortal World has Resurrection Points, and the Mortal World has them too. If things don't work out in the Immortal World, at worst we lose a level and choose to resurrect at a Resurrection Point in the Mortal World. When we want to level up, we resurrect at a Resurrection Point in the Immortal World. It's just losing some experience points at most. Leveling in the Immortal World is so fast that whether the Magpie Bridge exists or not doesn't matter to us at all. We are players; how could Lin Bai possibly trap us?"

"..." Wu li hua was stunned. "That makes sense. But if we die once, all our equipment will drop; the loss is too great."

"Brother, wake up. The levels of the Heavenly Descended are too high; the chances of us snatching equipment from their hands are slim. Besides, we came up here to level up; why bring equipment? Can't you hide your equipment before dying?" Hua fei hua said.

Wu li hua suddenly realized, his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you're the one who thinks things through."

Hua fei hua said: "Brother, you won't go wrong following me. What world peace? We came in to play a game, not to be laborers. No matter how powerful Lin Bai is, he's just one person. Does he really think he can control the whole world? Of course, we should do whatever is most fun! His mistake was giving us the high-level techniques of the Seven Orthodox Sects ahead of time. Let's go, before the Heavenly Descended react, let's run into the mountains and get our levels up before talking about anything else..."

Wu li hua said: "Brother, someone has formed a Cultivation Mutual Aid Alliance, saying they want to find the cultivators who ascended to the Immortal World earlier and form an alliance with them to get higher-level techniques from them. Why don't we go too? Otherwise, it's so boring for just the two of us to go into the mountains to cultivate."

"Brother, this is the territory of the Heavenly Descended. How many ascenders are there? Cooperating with them is practically courting death," Hua fei hua said. "Let's sneakily level up first and let them scout the path. Whether it's cooperating with the Heavenly Descended or finding previous ascenders, it won't be too late for us to join them once they've figured out the ropes. Level up first; we can advance to attack and retreat to defend."

"Brother, you're right. Let's level up first." Wu li hua thought that was reasonable, and immediately followed Hua fei hua into the big mountains.

Most of those who entered the Immortal World were players just starting the game; even if they had obtained the highest-tier techniques, their leveling time was too short.

Furthermore,

Because the number of players was too large, even the Danling Sect could not support the pill supply for so many people.

Without the aid of pills, their levels were not high, and many players didn't even know the Art of Flying; in the eyes of the Heavenly Descended, who were at least at the Bronze Realm, they were more insignificant than ants.

Ascenders were a rarity in the Immortal World, and many Heavenly Descended were willing to keep an ascended mortal as a pet for amusement.

The sudden appearance of so many mortals in the Immortal World who had no possibility of ascending left the Heavenly Descended shocked and overjoyed, as if they had seen Spirit Stones walking all over the ground, and they immediately began to capture the players.

Regardless of whether mortals would depreciate in value later, they would capture and keep them first; if they weren't worth anything, they could just dispose of them later.

The City Lords in various places realized the seriousness of the situation and began to investigate the reason for the appearance of the mortals.

At this time.

The Magpie Bridge from the Mortal World to the Immortal World had been cut off, and the Reception Pool naturally could not find any problems.

The Heavenly Descended could not destroy the Magpie Bridge, so they had to interrogate the captured players.

Consequently.

All sorts of versions emerged from the mouths of the players; some continued the titles from the lower realm, calling themselves Heavenly Descended;

Some directly exposed the Game Company and demanded to cooperate with the Heavenly Descended;

Some showed their strength to the Heavenly Descended and asked to join them and take them as masters;

Some exposed Lin Bai, saying that the Immortal World should be prepared to deal with Lin Bai's Fazhe Zhidao;

Some were preaching about Fazhe Zhidao;

And there were those arranged by Lin Bai, claiming the New Mother Body had descended, that they were the new Heavenly Descended born from the Mother Body, and that the Tenth Heavenly King had sent them as the vanguard to explore the Immortal World...

And so on and so forth.

It was endless.

This batch of players who entered the game had watched Lin Bai grow up and knew his various wild tactics like the back of their hands. With low levels and the Undying Body making them fearless, the players did whatever they wanted, completely releasing the frustration of being restrained by Lin Bai back in the Mortal World.

At worst, they would delete their accounts and start over; coming out of the Resurrection Point, they would be good as new, but as long as they could swindle some benefits from the Heavenly Descended, they would make a killing.

The assault team temporarily gathered by the Eastern Continent under Lin Bai's orders fired the first shot at the Heavenly Descended.

They had to do their homework and show their stance to Lin Bai.

Of course, they also wanted to collect data on the lethality of modern weapons against the Heavenly Descended; more data would allow them to improve their weapons.

In the current situation, the Real World could be said to be the weakest party; even if they wanted to hide and develop, the high-level officials of the Real World still had some ulterior motives deep down.

Who would want to be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered forever?

Various artillery pieces transported to the Jie Yin Dian were urgently loaded and fired at the incoming Heavenly Descended.

Artillery fire filled the sky.

Most missiles flew faster than the speed of sound, but for the Heavenly Descended who could use Teleportation, the speed of the shells was still too slow.

The spiritual senses of the Heavenly Descended were also not comparable to the knights and priests of Shenmo Dalu.

Even if the shells hit them, they could calmly dodge them.

Occasionally, a Heavenly Descended would want to test these mortal weapons and take a few shells head-on, but the high-speed exploding shells couldn't even break their Spiritual Power defenses, let alone harm their bodies.

The only conventional weapons that could cause damage to the Heavenly Descended were laser-based ones.

Light travels at 300,000 kilometers per second, and the beams are dense, hitting the target the moment they are fired; even the Heavenly Descended could not react in time, but that was as far as it went.

Lasers that could easily intercept missiles and destroy satellites in the sky could only cause slight burns to the skin of the Heavenly Descended, and the burning speed was not as fast as their recovery.

The blinding effect of lasers was even more negligible; without Lin Bai's means of suppressing Spiritual Power, the recovery speed of the Heavenly Descended was too fast, and with a slight circulation of the Spiritual Power within their bodies, their vision would return to normal.

The most powerful weapon was a small-yield mushroom bomb.

The Eastern Continent was very sincere about this war.

This mushroom bomb landed in a town called Qian shui cheng, and luckily, it evaded the interception of the Heavenly Descended and landed accurately in the center of the town, exploding with a roar.

A small mushroom cloud rose.

The buildings in Qian shui cheng collapsed from the inside out.

A group of unprepared Heavenly Descended in the city died instantly, but more quick-witted Heavenly Descended used Flash to escape the area covered by the mushroom bomb, watching helplessly as their city was completely destroyed by the mushroom bomb...

Subsequently.

The assault team temporarily formed by the players was torn to shreds by the angry Heavenly Descended.

This mushroom bomb was the only weapon that achieved results in that day's assault battle.

After all, that is the most powerful weapon in the Real World; even an average powerhouse at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm might not be able to produce such destruction. If a weapon with such immense destructive power cannot injure the Celestials, then technology has no merit.

But the comfort that the mushroom bomb brings to the Real World ends there.

After all, the mushroom bomb has immense power, but it is not convenient to launch in the Xianxia World. Once intercepted in mid-air, its lethality is reduced to a minimum; if the opponent is prepared, one might not even be able to hit the target.

Moreover, the main body launching the mushroom bomb is the players. If they were soldiers from the real world, they would be countered by the Celestials, dying in droves; no one could afford such losses.

Calculating from a cost-effectiveness perspective, it is far inferior to raising the players' levels...

The high-level officials of the Real World were dejected, suddenly feeling that their civilization had reached its end, unable to see a glimmer of hope.

The officials of the Western Continent, who were also watching the live broadcast, fell into silence as well.

On the battlefield of Shenmo Dalu, they had also prepared mushroom bombs as a final trump card, even planning to use them to slay gods.

But this mushroom bomb test-fired by the Eastern Continent in the Xianxia World was like a basin of cold water poured over their heads, sobering everyone up. It even dampened the momentum of the diplomats who had been arrogant while negotiating with City Lord Sangdeli in the Free City because they had won a battle.

Perhaps.

To conquer Shenmo Dalu, one can only rely on the players and Lin Bai.

However.

Even though the players produced a mushroom bomb in the Xianxia World, its influence did not exceed Lin Bai's.

In the eyes of the Celestials, although the mushroom bomb is powerful, it counts at most as a magical Magic Tool; weapons capable of causing such destruction can be found in the Xianxia World by the handful.

But Lin Bai, who has mastered the Fazhe Zhidao, is different.

The New Mother Body, the Fazhe Zhidao, and the Tenth Heavenly King can truly change the situation in the Xianxia World.

Especially with the information they received, the Tenth Heavenly King's Fazhe Zhidao is bizarre and varied.

Love Dao, Incomplete Dao, and Way of Cooking are simply unheard of. They feel that the so-called Tenth Heavenly King's law is like a hodgepodge, leaving them unable to figure out exactly what kind of strength Lin Bai possesses.

Furthermore.

The characteristics of the new Celestials born from the New Mother Body also shocked them. If these Undying and Indestructible new Celestials grow up, this group of old Celestials is afraid they will be relegated to second-class citizens.

Through the verification of the Celestials, although the new Celestials are weak, their cultivation speed is not much slower than theirs; it even seems to be a bit faster...

As for the Game Company and such that the players blurted out, no Celestial took it to heart. The Xianxia World has laws, and the Fazhe Zhidao they speak of is closer to the truth.

That night.

News of Lin Bai and the new Celestials spread like a hurricane to every corner of the Xianxia World and was placed on the desks of the Nine Great Heavenly Kings.

The reaction of the Nine Great Heavenly Kings was surprisingly consistent: investigate Lin Bai and the New Mother Body, control all new Celestials entering the Xianxia World, and do not allow them to be taught any Skills or cultivation methods related to Celestials...

In the Real World, the emperors of the Xianxia World, and the players in the game world who have not entered the Xianxia World, are all closely following the movements in the Xianxia World.

When everyone was expecting Lin Bai's reaction.

Lin Bai released a message through *Justice Weekly*: he is holding a wedding tonight to deeply comprehend the Love Dao, and he invites all well-known figures from all walks of life to attend; he wants to hold an unforgettable wedding for his beloved.

In the Real World, more than a dozen famous directors received invitations from the Justice Alliance at the first opportunity, asking them to plan the wedding.

Lin Bai's prestige is now sky-high.

Back then, the wedding planned by the Duke of the Taiyi Kingdom was clearly not up to standard.

If the system doesn't recognize it, wouldn't he have gotten married for nothing!

Holding a second one would be a laughingstock.

Therefore, if he is going to hold one, he must hold a real grand wedding and complete the task in one go.

It's not his money anyway.

Once the news of Lin Bai's marriage was released, several worlds were in an uproar.

The forums of the Xianxia World exploded immediately; both players and the public poured in, launching a discussion about Lin Bai's marriage.

The liveliness of the topic surpassed the posts about the Xianxia World in a short period of time.

"What's the situation?"

"Lin Bai is crazy, getting married at a time like this?"

"When is he not crazy? It would be abnormal if Lin Bai acted normally, okay!"

"Didn't Lin Bai say it? It's to comprehend the Love Dao. Why comprehend the Love Dao? Isn't it to deal with the Xianxia World?"

"So, Lin Bai doesn't have a sure grasp of victory against the Xianxia World!"

"Some players have already pried information out of the Celestials. The Heavenly Kings of the Xianxia World also master laws, and they are the real kind, like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. By comparison, Shopkeeper Lin's Fazhe Zhidao is a bit improper. Improper laws against proper laws—a novice who has only been practicing the Law of Cultivation for a year against a God of Law who has lived for at least thousands or tens of thousands of years—it's only normal that he doesn't have a sure grasp of victory."

"So, Lin Bai was scared into getting married on the spot!"

"He was probably forced into a corner."

"Perhaps Lin Bai has the idea of leaving behind an heir before a great battle. Otherwise, if he really dies in battle without even leaving a seed, what a loss!"

"The one above is talking nonsense. Lin Bai flies his head all over the world; it's impossible for him to die, okay!"

"Brother Lin Bai will never die. I only hate that I wasn't chosen by Brother; otherwise, I would also go and marry him to help him comprehend the Great Dao of Love."

"The one above is crazy. It's fortunate that what Lin Bai throws around is his head. If he threw that thing, I reckon there would be quite a few women in the Real World scrambling to take it home and collect it as a treasure!"

"How do you know Lin Bai hasn't thrown it? A head can be thrown openly, but that thing would have to be hidden secretly. Otherwise, flying all over the sky, how embarrassing..."

"Ahem, off-topic!"

"Disgusting, you are not allowed to talk about Brother Lin Bai like that."

"The woman marrying Lin Bai is so pitiful; she won't get any love from him—it's all about Dao-comprehension, Dao-comprehension."

"How is it pitiful? It's a wedding that attracts worldwide attention, super happy, okay? Which woman wouldn't wake up laughing in her dreams if she could have a wedding like this once in her life!"

"If I were Lin Bai, I would have had descendants all over the world long ago; I wouldn't have bothered with the thankless task of crusading against the Celestials..."

"That is the reason you cannot become Lin Bai. The Law of Cultivation requires a Pure Heart; your heart is too dirty."

"Brother above, you aren't actually practicing the Law of Cultivation, are you! An average person can't handle the Fazhe Zhidao at all!"

"I wonder if everyone has noticed that at this critical moment, why has the Old Ancestor of the Justice Sect still not appeared?"

"The Justice Sect is benchmarked against the Game Company, right! The Immortal World is a new map created by the Game Company for players. If the Old Ancestor of the Justice Sect came out to deal with the BOSS of the Game Company's new map, it would be too low-class, a total drop in prestige, which would prove that the Justice Sect is definitely no match for the Game Company."

"The person above makes sense."
