Chapter 428: Chaotic Situation

Lin Bai did not punish the Goddess of Wisdom and the Goddess of War; he used the Enlightenment Pill to restore their sanity as well.

The moment they regained their sanity, both were filled with surprise, followed immediately by guilt, unease, and gratitude...

Nothing could move them more than such an unexpected joy.

The two goddesses immediately swore loyalty to Lin Bai, becoming his little fan girls—the kind with one hundred percent loyalty.

However.

Lin Bai did not take them to heart.

At this moment, his mind was entirely on the few big toys he had just obtained; compared to the Law Sacred Artifacts, the goddesses were not interesting at all, and he had no intention of falling in love with his own Puppets...

Amidst the whispering of the gods, Lin Bai stored the several Law Sacred Artifacts into cards, wiped away the restrictions, and studied the functions of the artifacts.

Endless Earth: Earth Escape, Substitute, Molding Earth into Soldiers, Earth Prison, Earth Explosion... the ultimate move is All Things Turn to Dust;

Star Coin: Starlight Slash, Starlight, Star Array... the most powerful is the Universal Star Chart;

Sun Wheel: Sunshine Spreads, Heart Scorching, Scorching Ray, Purification, Aurora Technique, Light Barrier... the strongest move is the Gate of Heaven;

The three artifacts were biased toward offense.

The Wood Heavenly King's Gourd was biased toward support, possessing the functions of storage and restriction; it was similar to the Purple Gold Gourd of Jin Jiao Da Wang in Journey to the West—as long as you called out a name and the target answered, once they were sucked into the gourd, unless the Wood Heavenly King released them voluntarily, they would basically find it hard to escape death.

Its function was powerful, but its weakness was also quite obvious: as long as the enemy in battle did not answer, nothing would happen.

It was suitable for sneak attacks, and one had to kill the target to silence them; otherwise, once the Skill became known, this ultimate move would be as good as useless.

The most powerful was still the Dream Heavenly King's Ruyi; it had few functions, with only two Skills, but they were super practical: first, a single-target attack that instantly wove a dream for the opponent; second, seamlessly dragging everyone into a dream domain, where killing them in the dream meant they would also die in the Real World.

The only drawback was the coverage area—a radius of one hundred kilometers; even with Lin Bai holding two Ruyis, he could not achieve global coverage.

The Great Heavenly Venerable System's Advent mission did not indicate completion; it must have been because of those wicked players.

However, having subdued the Nine Heavenly Kings, Lin Bai no longer cared about that mission.

At this time, with the power he had gathered and his individual combat ability, there was no one in the world who could threaten him anymore.

Unless the people from the Game Company took action themselves, but that was completely unpredictable, and worrying about it would be useless.

After all.

Lin Bai could not find the Game Company even if he wanted to; he did not have the ability to truly break through the world.

"Lin Bai, since you can create Law Sacred Artifacts out of thin air, can you return the original artifacts to us?" The Dream Heavenly King sensed that he had lost contact with his Ruyi, and while feeling a sense of loss in his heart, he looked at the two Ruyis in Lin Bai's hands and asked tentatively.

"In your dreams; I snatched these with my own ability, if you want Law Sacred Artifacts, go snatch them yourselves." Lin Bai glanced at him, "In a while, you still have to give me your Skills!"

"..." The Dream Heavenly King opened his mouth, wanting to argue something, but in the end, he said nothing; the Ruyi had already been handed over, and he no longer had the qualifications to resist Lin Bai.

"Don't be so dejected, think about your lover; she is the Goddess of the Earth, with her help, what kind of sacred artifact can't you snatch?" Lin Bai looked at Bairuisi and smiled.

"That's right, Dream-langjun, you still have me; I will help you become strong again." Bairuisi nodded, took the Dream Heavenly King's hand, and comforted him softly.

The Dream Heavenly King was just about to reply.

A single sentence from Lin Bai interrupted their tender affection again: "Bairuisi, whatever Law Sacred Artifacts you snatch, remember to send them to me to copy. The Justice Alliance is one family, all loot must be turned over to the public, but I am merciful and allow you to keep the originals; I only need the copies."

"..." The Heavenly Kings were heartbroken and silently greeted his family in their hearts; with this move, Lin Bai had directly cut off their future—there would never be a day for them to defeat him.

Lin Bai stopped wasting words with them and used Extraction to pull the skill proficiency from each of them one by one.

At this point.

Lin Bai had truly forged himself into an all-around warrior with no blind spots.

While Lin Bai was on his expedition against the Dream Heavenly King, Game Capsules were being distributed one after another, and people in the Real World fell into a frenzy; they were about to enter the game to begin an eternal life, and the Real World no longer held any attachment for them.

Large numbers of people rushed into restaurants to enjoy high-end food they usually couldn't bear to buy.

Others indulged in pleasure, going to practice the Law of Love with their girlfriends or other people's girlfriends.

After all.

Once they entered the game, all acts related to love would be prohibited; if they didn't enjoy it now, when would they?

There were even people who had grudges in their daily lives who decisively rushed to their enemies' homes and killed them with satisfaction; if they didn't take revenge now, once they entered the Game Capsule, it would be too late...

The stock market, banks, and all other financial institutions came to a complete stop, and government departments were paralyzed...

Everyone left their jobs, and some even made off with large quantities of company products; company leaders watched helplessly as the property they had worked so hard to build was lost, not even daring to intervene...

With the entry into the game imminent, who still cared about social order?

High-rise buildings under construction stopped work, sea, land, and air transport ceased, doctors stopped accepting patients, and civil servants no longer performed their duties...

Things they usually didn't dare to do or didn't want to do were all vented out.

The entire world was nearly at a standstill.

Previously, the engineering teams dispatched by the Eastern Continent into the Xianxia World also ceased operations; everyone was waiting to enter the game, waiting for fate to be reshuffled.

After all.

The Game Company provided various benefits, and the Nutrient Solution in the Game Capsule was enough to ensure they would never go offline for a lifetime.

Entering the game meant a life of being above others.

Their previous superiors and leaders might not even be playing as well as they were in the game!

Whose face would they have to look at?

The high-level officials of the Eastern Continent and Western Continent had long been protected by the Justice Alliance.

Facing the chaotic situation, they had no way to deal with it.

Everyone's expression was not very good.

It was perfectly fine, and then it was the end of the world; they had thought about such a day, but they hadn't expected it to come so quickly.

The Game Company was indeed a scourge!

Lin Bai is right!

I hope Lin Bai can win!

However.

Even if Lin Bai wins, I fear the several worlds will still suffer a great loss of Vitality.

……

When the people of the Real World rioted.

In Shenmo Dalu and Xianxia World, Disciples of various cultivation sects, believers of the gods, national soldiers, players of the Justice Alliance, and fans of Lin Bai stood by in every town, preventing players from causing trouble.

At the same time, "Justice Weekly" released the "Thirteen Guidelines for New Players Entering the Game."

The guidelines required:

One, players must abide by the current legal system of Xianxia World (Shenmo Dalu); if they disobey, they will be killed until their accounts are deleted and they will be blacklisted by the Justice Alliance;

Two, after entering the game, players must register and report to the local Government; those who do not report will be considered illegal residents and are strictly forbidden from entering any public places;

Three, players must not infringe upon the interests of local military and civilians; if they disobey, they will be killed until their accounts are deleted;

Four, any player establishing a Guild must report to the Justice Alliance; any activity must be requested from the Alliance, and activities can only be held after the Alliance approves; unauthorized actions will result in the Guild being banned and all Guild members being killed until their accounts are deleted;

Five, players must not build residences privately in the game and must report to the Government……

Six, players must enter locations designated by the Justice Alliance to learn Skills……

Seven, all income of players must be taxed according to the law……

……

The thirteen guidelines strictly restricted the players' eating, clothing, housing, and transportation. In troubled times, heavy codes are used. People in the Real World looked at the player guidelines in "Justice Weekly" and immediately exploded in the forums.

"Are you kidding? We are players with an Undying Body; why should we be as law-abiding as the natives?"

"Being law-abiding is one thing, but why should we be killed until our accounts are deleted at every turn? Even if we aren't superior to the common people, we shouldn't have to live the life of a lower-class person after entering the game!"

"This kind of stifling life is worse than the Real World!"

"Lin Bai has gone too far. I never even thought about causing trouble, but these new guidelines are forcing me to resist!"

"We refuse to be lower-class people."

"And paying taxes? We're already immortal, pay taxes my ass……"

"Lin Bai is indeed our natural enemy."

"Everyone, don't get excited. We have various check-in benefits provided by the Game Company. Enter the game first and follow Lin Bai's rules. Once we grow stronger, we can talk about other things. Being impulsive like this just plays right into Lin Bai's strategy. Endure, you must endure. Don't give Lin Bai an excuse to go on a rampage. We have large numbers; Lin Bai can control us for a while, but he can't control us for a lifetime……"

"That's right! It takes three days for everyone to enter the game. If Lin Bai comes to the Real World to start a massacre, we can't take it either. At least wait until everyone has entered the Game Capsule!"

"Don't be impulsive. Everyone, follow the rules set by Lin Bai for now."

……

While players were protesting the "Thirteen Guidelines" on the forums.

A post titled "The Anti-Lin Bai Alliance has reached an agreement with Heavenly King Meng; everyone can enjoy the game to the fullest without worrying about Lin Bai's deterrence" was pinned to the top.

The post described in detail the agreement reached between Heavenly King Meng and them. Heavenly King Meng is responsible for pinning down Lin Bai's true body and the many gods, while the Celestials will assist players in dealing with members of the Justice Alliance. Players only need to develop rapidly in the game world to deal with Lin Bai's clones, and wait until everyone has grown up to deal with Lin Bai and the gods together……

This post was like a shot of adrenaline, injected into the hearts of all players, making them feel much more relaxed.

All along, they had watched Lin Bai grow up, and Lin Bai had brought them joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

But when they wanted to enter another world to start a new life, Lin Bai became a Da Shan, pressing down on their heads.

Except for Lin Bai's fans, no one wanted such a Da Shan over their heads. No one wanted to change worlds only to still live a life as regimented as in reality. After all, they possessed an Undying Body and intended to enter the game to live the life of the upper class.

As long as Lin Bai is held back by Heavenly King Meng, the Justice Alliance's so-called player guidelines would become a joke, which they could overthrow at any time……

Of course, there were also some rational players who did not believe Heavenly King Meng could hold back Lin Bai.

But people are prone to wishful thinking.

Dragging it out for a few days is better than nothing. If they leave Heavenly King Meng, there is still the Game Company. At worst, they could just act according to the rules set by the Justice Alliance in the end; anyway, they wouldn't lose anything……

……

Immigration from Xianxia World and Shenmo Dalu was also not as simple as imagined.

It is hard to leave one's homeland; this applies to every world.

Even if the natives were under threat of life, trying to persuade them to leave their own world, to leave their homes and start life over in another strange world, was not a simple matter.

After all.

In Xianxia World, with Lin Bai's regulation, the ordinary public suffered almost no major trauma;

In Shenmo Dalu, the players' development time was too short, and they were constrained by NPCs, so they also did not taste the pain brought by the players.

Even when Lin Bai went to war with the gods, he avoided densely populated towns. The only place that encountered a few wars, Free City, mostly saw casualties among the legions and did not affect the civilians. As the gods were defeated, everything returned to normal……

Under such circumstances, how could they be persuaded to flee their homeland?

Even though their world had already changed, with teleportation arrays appearing in city centers, and players from other worlds being able to appear in their towns without using the Magpie Bridge, and even more native residents suffering attacks from players, it still failed to change their minds.

People in the native worlds, like those in the Real World, also harbored wishful thinking.

Migration was difficult.

The Justice Alliance simply gave up on mass migration for the time being. Lin Bai did not intend to carry out a massacre in the Real World, and the Real World was in such chaos that it was not actually suitable for a large-scale migration of people……

Moreover.

Entering another world and re-settling and allocating resources was also a big problem……

……

Xu Longyun monitored the changes in the several worlds at all times.

Large amounts of information were summarized in her hands. The fact that the people of the native worlds were unwilling to migrate gave her a headache, but that was as far as it went.

It didn't matter if they didn't submit to management; once they tasted bitterness, they would naturally become obedient.

With several worlds intersecting, it was impossible for no one to die.

The players' analysis made her scoff; they had no idea what her husband had prepared for them.

Only after experiencing her husband's cruel tempering would they understand that the thirteen guidelines were the best arrangement.

As for Lin Bai being held back by Heavenly King Meng?

That was simply a huge joke; back in the Mist Forest, Heavenly King Meng hadn't been able to trap Lin Bai, and now, with so many deities gathered around Lin Bai, even if he were lent ten more Heavenly Kings, they still couldn't do anything to her husband...

The players were too naive.

Amidst the chaotic situation, the first batch of players after the full public beta entered the game world.

"What did you get?"

"A level 30 experience pack, how about you?"

"One thousand Spirit Stones, what the hell, no levels, no cultivation techniques, what's the use of giving me so many Spirit Stones!"

"Damn, I got a limited-time 100x experience card; killing NPCs within ten days gives 100x experience, what a useless piece of trash..."

"I got a three-day Great Vehicle Realm experience card; all experience from enemies killed during that time counts for me."

"I got a legendary skin; equipping it increases cultivation speed by two times."

In the crowd.

A player named 【Mo Wang Xiao Ke Ai】 looked at the "Gan Kun Jing" lying in her inventory after opening her own treasure chest, swallowed her saliva quietly, and said with annoyance: "I actually opened a 100x experience card, what a scam!"

Gan Kun Jing (Divine Artifact): Holding this mirror, the front side shines death upon people, the back side shines life upon people, ignoring the target's level.
