Dark Sand: My Players Are All Actors-Chapter 539 - 275 Ultimate Trial Selection Completed_3

So, with the help of more powerful cheats, Meng Yuan still successfully infiltrated the team for the ultimate Trial Illusion.

Following that, Chu Ge began assigning roles to these players.

Just like the last instance with Wang Wenchuan, the players still fulfilled their designated roles. Players like Fan Cun and Zhao Haiping, of course, opted to embody historical generals, diving directly into the battlefield to clash with the Jin soldiers; while those who were more pain-averse chose civil roles to stabilize the rear.

After roughly assigning the roles, there were two characters that the players did not intend to portray.

The first was General Han Fuyue.

This was similar to the previous instances with Deng Yuanjing and Yu Jiaxuan. On one hand, because such heroic characters were too distinguished and inherently virtuous, there was no need to portray them; on the other hand, it was also because the players admired them greatly and wanted to experience stardom up close.

The second character was even more interesting: Emperor Gaozong of Qi.

In the instance where Wang Wenchuan was present, the Emperor was portrayed by Meng Yuan.

At the time, it seemed very necessary for Meng Yuan to take on this role because if the Emperor did not support the reforms, they would be very difficult to carry out.

But this time, Meng Yuan refused.

The reason was simple. Meng Yuan did not want to continue drawing attention to himself and wanted to leave more of the stage to the players.

Of course, he could not directly tell the players his true thoughts.

Meng Yuan gave the players a more convincing reason, one they couldn’t refuse.

In this way, Meng Yuan very discreetly took on the role of a minor official in the court, Chu Ge portrayed Qin Huizhi, and a large group of players embodied various senior officials in the court, while Zhao Haiping and Fan Cun among others portrayed Deputy Generals under General Han Fuyue.

The fog before their eyes dispersed, and the players had now entered this merged historical slice.

Looking down from the sky, they could see Xingtian and Feilian, two great demons, continuously sprinkling Demonic Qi into this historical slice.

However, the two focused on different aspects.

Xingtian was constantly strengthening the Jin soldiers, especially those in the north. Clearly, he understood that once it came to direct confrontation, these Jin soldiers would be the strongest force.

Meanwhile, Feilian was circling in the sky, flying over the capital of the Qi Dynasty, scattering the Demonic Qi directly towards the Qi court.

Yet, Chu Ge and the other players soon realized that the current situation differed somewhat from what they had anticipated.

"Hey, this point in time... isn’t it the Jingping Change?"

"This seems to be after the great victory at Zhuxian Town!"

"The time when the twelve golden tokens were recalled?"

The players were somewhat surprised.

In the "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon" instance, the earliest timeline should have involved Prince Yun campaigning against Xixia, and the most significant point should have been the Jingping Change, followed by General Han Fuyue’s northern expedition.

However, the timeline of this ultimate Trial Illusion had been significantly pushed back to when General Han Fuyue was recalled to the capital by the twelve golden tokens.

It was evident that all the major armies of the Qi Dynasty were retreating south, while dark clouds and rolling Demonic Qi filled the capital.

This caught some players off guard.

Although this did not affect the roles played by the players, it still disrupted some of their plans somewhat.

Nevertheless, the players quickly regained their composure.

After all, they had seen much in their many battles, and this unexpected scenario wasn’t enough to make them panic.

...

Earlier, Can Shang had already floated in the temporal chaos, guiding the power of the Reordinators to twist the entire historical slice.

On the vast lands of the Qi Dynasty, time reversed, and the undisciplined army under Qin Huizhi’s command restored to their peak combat state, and General Han Fuyue, who died wrongfully in prison, continued to be shackled and confined in Fengbo Pavilion...

However, the reversal stopped abruptly here.

Can Shang was somewhat surprised: "Strange, some mysterious force is blocking me!

"It’s Feilian! It has teamed up with Xingtian, using powerful Demonic Qi to warp this historical slice, preventing me from completely reverting it to its original state!"

The power of the Reordinators could reverse the historical slice to its original state before the demons invaded, but now, for the first time, this power was obstructed.

The collaboration of the two great demons significantly increased the difficulty for the players to conquer this historical slice!

But Meng Yuan did not mind.

"It’s alright, starting from here is just the same.

"Should I say Feilian is clever or foolish... thinking that using the power to twist the historical slice at this point could stop the players?

"My players have already performed countless simulations in the Trial Illusion; this minor trick is nothing!"

Meng Yuan was very proud, after all, he had sufficient confidence—the formidable players.

The historical slice resumed operation.

Meng Yuan and the players then embodied their respective target characters, starting their respective roles.

...

This was an unusual morning court session in the Qi Dynasty court.

For the envoy Uling Azanmo of the Jin had arrived in the capital with their tributary letter, currently standing in the grand hall, brightly staring at the high and mighty Emperor and Qin Huizhi, the Prime Minister standing at the forefront among the civil and military officials.

The gaze of Emperor Gaozong of Qi was elusive; as the sovereign ruler, he seemed somewhat timid and dared not make direct eye contact with the envoy of the Jin.

Not to mention questioning the envoy’s great disrespect.

However, compared to the Emperor, Azanmo seemed to look towards Qin Huizhi more.

His face bore a hint of confusion.

For he knew that Qin Huizhi would be his biggest help on this trip, willing to do whatever it took to aid him, ensuring this peace negotiation succeeded.

However, after the initial eye contact to confirm they were on the same side, a sudden gust arose in the court hall.

And then, Qin Huizhi looked towards other officials on the court hall and no longer at him.

This added a bit of confusion and worry to Azanmo’s mind.

But since they were in the court of the Qi Dynasty, he could not publicly ask or whisper; wouldn’t it expose the truth that Mr. Qin was a spy?

He could only patiently wait for the drama to unfold.

Thankfully, the high and mighty Emperor Gong Zong of Qi seemed unaffected as usual... still as timid and easily bullied.
