Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players-Chapter 435 All Beings Are Equal

The Heavenly People of the Continent of Gods and Demons were originally players with mature gaming experience. After the initial chaos, they quickly formed guilds.

The game company promised that thirty million players would retain their memories and enter the next game world.

Guilds with organization and discipline were more likely to survive than individuals and could more easily farm contribution points.

Presently, the four most famous guilds were Fire Phoenix, Black Soul, Storm, and Destroy the World.

These four guilds had members numbering in the millions and had absorbed players whose contribution points ranked within the top ten million. They also had players who seized Divine Artifacts from players in the real world.

The president of the Black Soul guild was Sui Liang, who had once been a Starlight general under the Gold Heavenly King.

After regaining his player identity, he made the most correct judgment. He gathered his subordinates, and they arrived at the Continent of Gods and Demons at the first possible moment.

They didn't destroy towns. Instead, in the shortest possible time, they launched surprise attacks on over twenty Phoenix Seeks Phoenix groups, collecting the first batch of Divine Artifacts.

This established an absolute advantage for the later stages.

Later, he avoided battling the gods. Under the pretext of farming contribution points for the guild, he called for players returning from the Immortal World who possessed Divine Artifacts to join, thereby strengthening his forces once more.

Afterward, when players from the real world entered the game, Sui Liang first built up his foundation. Only then did he plunder a large number of these real-world players. Then he faced off directly against the gods. The River God was one he killed.

Of course, one must be strong themselves. Sui Liang himself controlled two Divine Artifacts.

One was the Sun God Emblem for self-defense. It had the effect of group protection and regeneration.

As long as the emblem remained unbroken, the team would be unharmed in battle.

The other Divine Artifact was called the Slaughter Knife, which imprisoned the souls of five million Angels. Those killed by this vicious weapon would have their souls imprisoned forever within the knife, providing power to the Slaughter Knife. The River God was killed by one slash of this knife...

"President, do we really need to unite with the other three guilds?" The deputy president of the Black Soul Guild was Zhao Jinxiu. Carrying a golden bow on his back, he had an arrogant demeanor. "Right now, our guild possesses at least thirty thousand Divine Artifacts. We can totally kill gods on our own."

"Exactly! Didn't we also destroy one of Lin Bai's Divided Gods?" another deputy president named Qiu Luo added. "We've also killed so many gods that they don't dare to attack us proactively anymore. In my opinion, while Lin Bai is restrained by the players from the Immortal World, we should seize this opportunity. We must annihilate all the gods in one go. Killing gods yields high Experience Points and contribution points. Once our members level up, we'll be more confident negotiating with other guilds. Lin Bai excels at Blitzkrieg; we should be even faster than him..."

"The game company has made it clear they're willing to pay any price to take down Lin Bai. When we played games before, when did we ever see so many overpowered Divine Artifacts?" Zhao Jinxiu commented. "Lin Bai can extract people's Cultivation Level to nourish himself, but those are Heavenly People returning from the Immortal World. They have lower Levels and fewer Divine Artifacts. But now, with so many Divine Artifacts in our hands, even Lin Bai might not understand all their functions. Many Divine Artifacts even ignore Level and Realm restrictions. If we catch him off guard, Lin Bai shouldn't be able to withstand it! President, in my view, you're being a little too cautious."

"Why do you think the other guilds are also holding back and targeting new players instead? Don't they understand this principle?" Sui Liang looked around at everyone and said. "The top thirty million in contribution points can all enter the new game. Being first or twenty-nine million, nine hundred ninety thousandth is the same. Why should we be the ones to stick our necks out and fight Lin Bai directly?

If it weren't for the high contribution points awarded for killing gods and the fear of our guild's ranking falling, I'd even consider retiring now. We could secure our current position and wait for others to kill Lin Bai."

He paused for a bit, then continued, "The four major guilds have no need to compete against each other. If we can unite and form the most powerful force, controlling the top thirty million spots in the contribution point rankings would be sufficient. If Lin Bai were that easy to kill, would the game company send in so many Divine Artifacts? When dealing with Lin Bai, you can never let your guard down..."

As they were discussing, the sky suddenly darkened.

Panic-stricken voices sounded from outside.

Sui Liang's expression changed drastically. He immediately activated the Sun God Emblem, applying buffs to everyone in the guild, and then drew his Slaughter Knife. He told everyone, "Alright, no need to argue anymore. We have to fight this time, whether we want to or not. This style... it's definitely Lin Bai himself taking action."

Having said that, the group waved their hands, directly smashing through the walls of the building.

Then, they saw Heavenly People in the Rush Moon pose, soaring into the sky, and countless ragged civilians on the ground.

Sui Liang hadn't yet figured out why Lin Bai had brought civilians to a battle.

Zhao Jinxiu already had his bow drawn, arrow nocked, and aimed at a Divided God of Lin Bai in the sky. But before he could fully draw his bowstring, he found himself uncontrollably flying upwards. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn!"

"Don't panic, it's just one of Lin Bai's Divided Gods," Sui Liang said, rushing upwards beside him. He temporarily dismissed his thoughts about the civilians. "We have the Sun God Emblem's protection. Even if he extracts some of our Cultivation Level, we'll be fine for now. We're not like those unarmed Heavenly People from the Fairy World; we were just caught off guard by him. When Separation of Love reaches its peak, if even one or two Divine Artifacts activate, we can eliminate Lin Bai's Divided God. None of the deities following him will escape."

"President, don't you think our Levels are dropping a bit too quickly?" Zhao Jinxiu asked.

"..." Sui Liang froze. Reminded by Zhao Jinxiu, he also realized that his Spiritual Power was plummeting as if from a leaky bottle.

In an instant, his Realm had plummeted from Starshine to Platinum. It wasn't the gradual Level decrease that the Heavenly People from the Fairy World had described.

What the hell?! Sui Liang was startled, then quickly reassured, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if our Levels drop. We still have Divine Artifacts. Kill a god or two, and our Levels will recover..."

Before he could finish his sentence, deafening shouts suddenly erupted from the ground:

"Long live Alliance Hierarch Lin!"

"Long live the King of the Three Realms!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Damn you, Heavenly People! Your doom has arrived!"

Sui Liang was stunned.

Then, he saw the civilians who had been on the ground moments ago suddenly fly up to him, swinging their fists at his face.

Several frenzied-looking civilians also appeared beside Zhao Jinxiu, recklessly grabbing for the gold bow on his back...

"Get lost!" Zhao Jinxiu roared, then channeled his Cultivation Level to accelerate his ascent.

Sui Liang's face turned even uglier. He sensed the same Spiritual Power emanating from these civilians of the Continent of Gods and Demons. A dreadful premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

「In midair」

Watching the ordinary people instantly become comparable to Heavenly People, the Earth Goddess widened her eyes in disbelief and asked, "Alliance Hierarch, they..."

"They have equally shared the life force and Spiritual Power of the Heavenly People," Lin Bai's Divided God said with a light laugh. "If the Heavenly People do not die, they will not die. From now on, this world will never lack warriors."

As he spoke, his Divided God used Metamorphosis Butterfly on the corpses littering the hills and fields, all killed by the Heavenly People. Then, using the Great Deficiency Art, he linked the Heavenly People to the butterflies now fluttering everywhere.

In an instant, the Spiritual Power of the Heavenly People poured into the butterflies, naturally advancing their Realms—Core Formation and Transformation occurred in a single, fluid process...

During their transformation, some of these newborn Butterfly Demons instinctively reverted to their original appearances.

However, a larger portion used the transformation to make themselves more handsome or beautiful.

The Level of the Heavenly People was so high that even after the Butterfly Demons transformed, their Realms continued to ascend, leveling up all the way to Void, Tribulation, and even the Bronze Realm.

Compared to the Heavenly People, their only drawback was likely their lack of corresponding Skills and Martial Arts. But their sheer numbers compensated for this, making them nearly equal to the Heavenly People.

Furthermore, by sharing the life force of the Heavenly People, even if they died on the spot, they could rapidly recover and revive, returning to their previous state instantly, without even needing a Resurrection Point...

The Great Deficiency Art—taking from the surplus to supplement the deficient—had created a truly undying race.

After resurrecting everyone with the Great Deficiency Art and binding them to the Heavenly People, Lin Bai didn't linger. He swiftly moved to other locations, using Metamorphosis Butterfly and the Great Deficiency Art in various towns across the Continent of Gods and Demons to resurrect more people and bind them to the Heavenly People.

Players from the real world also couldn't escape the effects of the Great Deficiency Art; their average Levels were quickly dragged down...

After resurrecting the people of the Continent of Gods and Demons, Lin Bai again didn't linger. He swiftly led all the resurrected civilians and Butterfly Demons away from the battlefield, giving the players no chance to continue leveling up.

Players on both sides could only level up by attacking each other. But when they did, they discovered a terrifying fact: any Experience Points they gained were immediately divided and shared.

「"Breaking news! Lin Bai has forcefully transformed everyone into immortal Butterfly Demons! The Heavenly People's world-destruction mission will likely never be completed!"」

"Not only that, the Levels of the Heavenly People have also been dragged down. Lin Bai's method seems to be robbing Peter to pay Paul, using the Spiritual Power of the Heavenly People to raise the Realms of the Butterfly Demons."

"And what's this about an Undying Body?"

"It must be a technique from the Righteous Door. If the game company itself can master the Undying Body, how could the Righteous Door possibly contend with them if they didn't also have such a technique?"

"With everyone on the Continent of Gods and Demons resurrected by Lin Bai, he now has more than enough warriors. The scales of victory are tipping back towards the Righteous Door."

"Not necessarily. Those resurrected by Lin Bai only have Spiritual Power but no Skills. There's still a gap when confronting the Heavenly People, not to mention the Heavenly People still possess so many Divine Artifacts."

"What damn good are Divine Artifacts? Lin Bai didn't even give them a chance to use them!"

"It's different. The world is vast; Lin Bai can't oversee everything. The main force in the future will still be the Butterfly Demons Lin Bai resurrected. It's still too early to say who will win or lose!"

"Haven't you all realized a terrifying fact? In less than a day, Lin Bai has already turned the situation around! Doesn't that tell you something?"

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Don't forget, Lin Bai has the ability to infinitely replicate Divine Status. Giving those Butterfly Demons Skills would be very easy for him."

"Easy my ass! Billions of Divine Statuses—do you think those are easy to farm? Besides, Divine Statuses require faith to unleash their power. Where would so much faith come from so quickly? I reckon this will be a protracted war."

"Pity the Immortal World, now blanketed by lightning. If Lin Bai wants to resurrect them, he'll have to wait at least eighty-one days."

"Damn those Heavenly People! They killed my father too! I wish this Heavenly Tribulation would end right now so my father could also become a Butterfly Demon and come back!"

"To the person above me: let me ask you one thing. If your father becomes a Butterfly Demon, will he still be your father?"

"Piss off!"

「Lin Bai wouldn't wait for eighty-one days.」

A Magpie Bridge extended into the Immortal World. His Divided God had already taunted a large contingent of Heavenly People into storming into the Immortal World. He then transferred their Spiritual Power to those he was sheltering within the Heavenly Tribulation, as well as to those who had been forced to undergo Metamorphosis Butterfly due to the tribulation.

Possessing the Spiritual Power and Undying Body of the Heavenly People, they could now move freely within the Heavenly Tribulation and cultivate their Skills, no longer requiring him to expend much effort protecting them.

「People in the real world were astounded by the speed of Lin Bai's turnaround. The Heavenly People whose power was being shared were in an uproar; the situation had completely spiraled out of their control:」

"Damn it! We've become fertilizer! Lin Bai's Skills are just absurd."

"Everyone has an Undying Body now; there's no way we can complete our world-destruction mission."

"Actually, failing the mission isn't so bad. At least we all get to keep our memories. Worst case, we can just treat this as a new game from the company! With all sorts of overpowered Divine Artifacts and a bunch of undying NPCs, it could be pretty fun to play!"

"Stop talking about a new game! I don't want to play something this hellishly difficult. Once those people level up, it'll be our doom! Don't forget, our Levels can drop, but when we kill those Butterfly Demons, their Spiritual Power doesn't decrease at all. It's like there's no loss."

"Holy crap! I didn't even think of that until you mentioned it."

"We have Divine Artifacts; surely we won't lose that badly! Even if our leveling speed is halved, we should still be faster than them, right?"

"If the enemy were just a bunch of blank slates with Undying Bodies, we might still win—we could even enslave them. But with Lin Bai in the picture, it's not so certain. He has too many tricks up his sleeve, and he seems to counter us at every turn..."

"Suddenly, the future looks bleak. Heavens know, just yesterday I was thrilled to have regained my senses. If I'd known it would be like this, I'd rather have stayed in the Fairy World, obediently farming and being an ordinary Heavenly Person!"

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Actually, the game company gave us a solution from the very beginning."

"What solution?"

"Kill Lin Bai."

"...Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding. There's no such thing as an unbeatable BOSS, nor can a truly Undying Body exist. It's like how the God of Darkness, who claims to be immortal, is countered by Holy Light. Whether it's the gods or those Butterfly Demons resurrected by Lin Bai, their core must be Lin Bai himself. If we take Lin Bai out, the Undying Bodies of those he resurrected should be breakable. Perhaps if Lin Bai dies, their souls will immediately depart, and their bodies will return to dust."

"We're all countered by Lin Bai, and now he's found himself a huge group of helpers. How can we possibly kill him?"

"Haven't you noticed? It's always been Lin Bai's Divided Gods moving about, and they retreat immediately after engaging, never daring to linger. What's he afraid of? Naturally, he's afraid of the Divine Artifacts in our hands. As long as we unite, select the Divine Artifacts most likely to kill him, and find his true body, we might have a chance to take him down in one decisive blow."
