Chapter 389: Anti-Lin Bai Alliance

From the moment the first Game Capsule appeared, players had always considered themselves the protagonists.

Yet, the game had been running for over a year.

Players increasingly discovered that while they were ordinary people in the Real World and possessed an Undying Body upon entering the game, they still could not control their own fate.

When they first entered the game and knew nothing, they were suppressed by NPCs;

When they had achieved a little success, Lin Bai had already stirred up the world's grand situation by his own power, drawing out NPCs they could not afford to provoke;

When Lin Bai was trapped in the lightning tribulation and they finally had a chance to develop, Lin Bai broke out of his cocoon like a butterfly, stole their home in one fell swoop, and even handed them over to even more powerful enemies...

Always one step behind Lin Bai.

And being this one step behind doomed them to their miserable fate.

From beginning to end, the ones shining and generating heat were always Lin Bai, or those Lin Bai wanted to shine and generate heat, such as the 【Xianxia World's Number One Paparazzo】, as well as 【Lao Mi】, and so on.

Consequently.

The game forum returned to how it was when the game first launched.

Even though everyone knew the Xianxia World and Shenmo Dalu were not game arenas but real worlds, players still discussed with tireless enthusiasm the pros and cons of Lin Bai regarding the game, the world, and the players...

Players who supported Lin Bai and those who boycotted him split into two factions.

Those who supported Lin Bai were mostly his fans, people who loved peace, and the vested interests of the current world.

Those who opposed Lin Bai believed their legitimate interests had been infringed upon, and that Lin Bai and his Justice Alliance were the factors causing all the instability.

Ultimately.

One argument on the forum won the support of the majority of Lin Bai's opponents.

The post said this:

The game is a gift from the gods to the people of the Real World.

It provides people with a second life; provides a different way of living; provides a means to break through existing classes. In the game, even if you are not a Lucky Account, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely reap a better life than in the Real World.

It even provides us with a reference for another civilization, allowing our civilization to progress...

Lin Bai's appearance destroyed this beauty; he treats players as slaves, wantonly exploiting and bullying players;

He destroyed all the game experience.

He repeatedly calls himself a Jiusheng, but what he saves is other people's world, while what he destroys is our world.

He brought war to our world and cut off our path toward a higher civilization, just like the Seven Righteous Sects and the Demonic Five Sects of the Xianxia World back then; Lin Bai, by his own power, hindered our civilization's path to further progress.

Therefore.

The Game Company is the benefactor of the players, and Lin Bai is the enemy of all players.

All players should unite to overthrow Lin Bai; only then will everything return to the right track, allowing game players to enjoy the fun of the game again...

The post listed Lin Bai's crimes one by one and listed the many benefits after overthrowing Lin Bai.

Consequently.

An organization dedicated to "Overthrow Lin Bai, let the game return to its origin" came into being.

Followers gathered in droves.

Overnight, nearly half of the players on the eastern and western continents secretly joined this organization.

They do everything that makes them enemies of Lin Bai.

In the Immortal World and Shenmo Dalu, they win over all of Lin Bai's enemies, make all of Lin Bai's data public, predict every one of Lin Bai's actions, and share all information about Lin Bai...

They ambush Lin Bai's fans and suppress everyone close to Lin Bai;

They mark the location of every Lin Bai's head, just waiting for the time to take action against Lin Bai so they can root him out completely...

With a unified goal.

The players' enthusiasm was completely stirred up; they rediscovered the fun of playing the game and were doing all kinds of preparatory work.

Just waiting for the final push to take down Lin Bai, this final boss.

"Alliance Leader, I know I shouldn't disturb you at this time, but this matter is truly having a very bad influence." The 【Head of the Lin Family Support Group】 found Lin Bai and told him about the Anti-Lin Bai Alliance, saying with deep worry, "Some members of the fan group have been poisoned while eating, and some have lost their lives when a flying sword suddenly pierced through while they were walking on the road; there is panic in the group, and many people don't even dare to act alone anymore. If this continues, I'm afraid the hearts of the fan group will scatter."

"They've rebelled, I'll take the Demon Beasts and kill them all back to level zero right now." The little white fox was filled with righteous indignation, "Master is so good and has provided them with so much convenience; is this how they repay Master?"

"Senior Sister Xiaobai, don't be impatient; I'm afraid this problem cannot be solved by killing," Ye Song shook his head and said, "First, we cannot identify them, and second, their numbers are too large; we simply cannot kill them all..."

Ancestor Tuohai and the others looked at each other, also realizing the severity of the problem.

"That's right, that's where the difficulty lies." The 【Head of the Lin Family Support Group】 said dejectedly, "Up to now, we don't even know who the main person in charge of the 'Anti-Alliance Leader Alliance' is. All their action orders are issued through the forum. As long as they post an action in a thread, many people will spontaneously respond to complete the task. From the IDs of the posts, it is impossible to distinguish who the enemy is."

"Too arrogant, are we just going to let them continue to grow?" The little white fox said angrily.

"The Alliance Leader's power is too great, and the players' hearts are not united, so they do the opposite and simply make all information public and transparent. They even anticipated that the Alliance Leader would deal with them and openly posted their countermeasures on the forum." The 【Head of the Lin Family Support Group】 looked around at the high-level members of the alliance in the room, hesitated for a moment, and said, "They said that once the Alliance Leader launches a large-scale retaliatory action against players, or goes to the Real World to harass their families, they will take everyone to undergo Tribulation Transcendence together and destroy the entire game world. They said if they aren't allowed to play the game, then no one should play..."

"This is outrageous." Xu Longyun suddenly sank her face, and the joy of her new marriage instantly faded from her heart.

Only at this moment did she understand why Lin Bai wanted to establish the Justice Alliance, why he wanted to restrain players, and why he wanted to become the Heavenly Dao.

This group of lawless fellows was the tumor of the entire world.

When she learned that the Anti-Lin Bai Alliance had been established, she had been thinking of solutions; after all, Lin Bai was going to leave the Mortal World for her to manage while he went on an expedition to the Immortal World...

In a short time, she had already prepared a series of plans for division, suppression, and balancing.

But all these plans were instantly stillborn as soon as this method of mutual destruction came out.

Her home, her relatives, and her citizens were all here, and furthermore, they only had one life; they could not bear the pain of mutual destruction.

Qing Yun and the others gasped, shocked by the players' shocking ideas.

"If I had known it would come to this, I shouldn't have let them raise their levels in the first place." Ancestor Yuan Qing said with a dark face, "We finally smoothed out the order, but they jumped out to make trouble again."

"We cannot be manipulated by them; the players' talent is too strong. Once everyone grows up through this, we will have even less of a way to deal with them," Ancestor Nan Rong said.

"Those of us who have surpassed the Tribulation Transcendence Realm cannot take action in the Mortal World either, otherwise we will attract the Heavenly Tribulation," Qingyun said. "Our cultivation levels are too low; if we enter the Immortal World, we are no match for the Celestials, and we wouldn't be able to deal with those hiding among them..."

What an awkward situation!

The hall fell into a temporary silence.

Everyone cast their gaze toward Lin Bai, that omnipotent man.

"Why are you looking at me? Just let them make a scene," Lin Bai scanned the crowd and smiled. "They can play their games, and we can play ours. As long as they haven't been blinded by greed and truly attack me, let them 'Anti-Lin Bai' as they please."

"But Master, aren't you afraid they will actually grow strong?" Tuohai asked.

"I want them to grow strong," Lin Bai said. "Why are they so arrogant? It boils down to one reason: those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who do. They have nothing to lose, which is why they are so fearless. Once they establish their own forces in this world and possess their own assets, at that point, even if you asked them to destroy the world, no one would be willing to do it."

Lin Bai shook his head and smiled. "Back then, wasn't that the trick I used to defeat the Seven Righteous Sects and the Demonic Five Sects? They are merely repeating my old path. I am the ancestor of this tactic; they are still a bit too green. Sacrificing my own reputation to exchange for temporary stability in the entire world is well worth it."

"..." everyone.

"Husband," Xu Longyun looked at Lin Bai.

"Notify the top paparazzi and the others that the Justice Alliance allows freedom of speech, freedom of industry, and allows for world diversity. When necessary, we can even promote their achievements. Don't we still have the 'Heavenly Dao Review'? We can provide them with an 'Anti-Lin Bai Vanguard' contribution leaderboard, and rank them based on the deeds they promote on the forum."

Lin Bai smiled. "Once they get on the right track and the Anti-Lin Bai Alliance becomes a big, fat piece of meat, the masterminds behind the scenes will naturally jump out. It won't be too late to settle accounts with them then..."

"But they are colluding with the Celestials. If we wait until they grow strong, it will be difficult to deal with them," the 【Head of the Lin Family Support Group】 said.

"First, the Celestials won't fully trust them; second, they are growing, but aren't we growing too?" Lin Bai looked at the group head, whose Loyalty was at one hundred percent, and said, "Some things need to be rushed, and some things cannot be rushed. I know you are worried about the fans' safety, but the fans also need training. I cannot protect you for a lifetime, and you cannot rely on my name to eat for a lifetime! When I am unable to attend to these trivial matters, it is time for you to jump out to defend me and help me fight. After all, your cohesion is stronger than theirs..."

【Moved by the Head of the Lin Family Support Group; +1 +1 +1...】

Being needed by her idol, the group head was deeply moved. She looked at Lin Bai excitedly, her gaze gradually turning firm: "Alliance Leader, I understand. You just go ahead and do great things; I will guard your rear."

"Mm, go! You are not fighting alone; I and the Justice Alliance will always be your solid backing." Lin Bai gave her an encouraging look, opened his palm, and gifted her a Spirit Fruit and a Temperament Fruit. "Keep it up."

"Alliance Leader, I will not let you down." The support group head excitedly accepted the two fruits, contributed a wave of Pleasure Value to Lin Bai, and left happily.

"Husband, I am not as good as you." Watching the group head leave, Xu Longyun's expression turned dim, and she said dejectedly, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have messed things up."

"You care too much about me," Lin Bai smiled and comforted her. "Xiaoyun, don't let emotions affect your decision-making. Learn to overlook the entire world and don't be afraid of doing anything wrong. You must always believe that I can solve every problem for you, even if you make a mistake."

"Mm." Xu Longyun nodded heavily.

"Master, have you finished cultivating your Dao Method?" Qingyun asked.

"I have," Lin Bai said.

"What is it like? Is it powerful?" Qingyun's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly.

She didn't actually care about how the Mortal World was or how the players were.

Her goal was always the Justice Gate, to become a divine tree that transcends the world; Lin Bai's growth was what she truly expected.

Tuohai and the others also cast curious gazes.

"I can't tell you for now; this Dao Method is meant to be my trump card," Lin Bai fabricated a reason. He had no choice;

he couldn't very well tell everyone that the newly comprehended Dao Method was to become a qualified master of ceremonies!

It would dampen morale.

"Right, right, there are too many ears. We are so passive right now precisely because Master's abilities have all been exposed; we should hide some," Ye Song nodded in agreement. "Especially at this moment, it is even less suitable for Master to be over-exposed."

"If there's nothing else, that's it!" Lin Bai stood up, scanned the many Disciples around him, and said, "When I reach the Immortal World, I will find a secluded place for you all to first improve your cultivation. Proceed with other matters according to the agreed-upon plan."

Every move Lin Bai made was highly scrutinized.

Because of his marriage, he had severed all Magpie Bridges between the Mortal World and the Immortal World, so opening a Magpie Bridge to go up rashly

was too conspicuous.

Therefore.

Lin Bai put on the Disguise Glasses, disguised himself as a player, and simultaneously opened all Magpie Bridges, mixing in among the players to enter the Immortal World.

At the same time Lin Bai entered the Immortal World.

"Justice Weekly" reported in full detail the news that the Heavenly King of Lightning had entered the Shenmo Dalu.

If it were just this piece of news, it wouldn't have caused such a sensation.

After all.

The Heavenly King of Lightning had caused such a huge stir in the Free City that it was already known to everyone.

The players of the "Anti-Lin Bai Alliance" naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to smear Lin Bai. Through their propaganda—the Heavenly King of Lightning being tricked, Lin Bai diverting the disaster—it reached the ears of the NPCs immediately...

Lin Bai went a step further, publishing the data of the Nine Great Heavenly Kings of the Immortal World through "Justice Weekly," and also published the data of the various gods of the Shenmo Dalu.

Was this not enough?

The most critical thing was that Lin Bai opened the Magpie Bridge between the Shenmo Dalu and the Immortal World, allowing the two worlds to trade with each other. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in both worlds.

Everyone knew that Lin Bai wanted to muddy the waters.

But no one could refuse such a temptation.

After all.

Whether it was a Heavenly King or a god, whether they wanted to invade or not, they all had to explore the other world thoroughly...
