To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 832 - 459: Mutation and Survival
Although Fang Cheng acted promptly with his thoughts, the situation here was more gruesome than what Zhiyi Heavenly Lord had imagined.
Numerous small worlds were lost, and a great number of cultivators were drawn by the chaotic currents of space and time, eventually drifting into unknown regions.
Several New Celestial Honors also disappeared without a trace, which made Zhiyi Heavenly Lord feel extremely regretful.
Although he wasn’t particularly fond of these New Celestial Honors, sometimes even wishing they would disappear, when this situation actually arose, he still felt sorrow for the loss of his companions.
Looking at Fang Cheng by his side, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord soon realized that the figure before him was not Fang Cheng, but something akin to a thought.
Immortals are also human, and sometimes thoughts are born in their Sea of Consciousness, which will dissipate on their own if left unattended.
However, the thoughts of Fang Cheng were clearly different from normal thoughts.
After all, it wasn’t strange for thoughts to release spells or speak, but it was very odd for them to exhibit power stronger than that of a Heavenly Lord.
Thus, only after Fang Cheng managed to eliminate an enemy who originally required a sacrifice to be trapped, did Zhiyi Heavenly Lord realize how aberrant Fang Cheng’s cultivation really was.
Unfortunately, the main culprit had already been eliminated, but the impact caused by the opponent still remained.
The entire Heaven-Opening Blocks were falling apart, countless small worlds were being detached, and nearly every world was contaminated by an unknown existence, thereby transforming into worlds of horror and chaos.
The original order was disrupted, plunging the entire world into a state of chaos and disorder, showing Zhiyi Heavenly Lord what true chaos looked like.
With a regretful sigh, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord felt it was truly a pity.
However, the urgent task at hand was not to lament; they still needed to search for survivors and rescue as many people as possible.
"Thoughts of the Great Heavenly Lord, what do you think we should do now?" Zhiyi Heavenly Lord asked expectantly.
"How would I know?" the thought said boldly, "I’m just a thought that was unintentionally left behind, how would I know what should be done?"
"...But you could easily kill that guy!"
"Killing something is easy, but creating something is troublesome. Alright, my task is done, I’m disappearing."
Watching the thought disappear, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord silently gazed at the spot where it vanished, his eyes filled with nothing but grievance.
There was no way around it, weakness was the original sin; he was completely helpless about the current situation and could only hope that Fang Cheng would return soon to alleviate it.
The Heaven-Opening Blocks here had reached the end of their existence, resembling a giant reaching the last step of its life.
The small worlds that made up his body had been contaminated, and many worlds began to separate into individual entities.
Although he had tried his best to save these worlds, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord had to admit that his power was still too feeble.
He could only save a part of life, but most beings sank into the black shadows. Although their life and death were blurred, in those worlds feared by the Heavenly Lords, perhaps eternal disappearance was a kind of mercy.
Upon realizing he was powerless, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord noticed that some things still maintained their previous state.
Those were the Angel Envoys of the Great Heavenly Lord, those players.
Their bodies were constructed from the mana of the Great Heavenly Lord, allowing them to ignore those black shadows and continuously be reborn in their original places.
Although he knew it might interfere with the plans of the Great Heavenly Lord, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord had no other choice now.
He knew what these players loved the most, and also knew that if he used this method, he could no longer control how things would unfold.
However, he was out of options, especially since he couldn’t even contact the Great Heavenly Lord now, and had to seek help from these players.
Taking a deep breath, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord sent a notification to each player.
"Ding~" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Dear players, a new task has been announced, and the gameplay will undergo significant changes. I believe you all have noticed the drastic changes in the game’s environment, with many worlds being polluted and former companions being corrupted. The worlds you are in are no longer safe, but we hope you can save as many other NPCs as possible."
"This is a battle without smoke, and also an extremely cruel battle. You will have to confront your former friends, while some evil entities lurk in the shadows, coveting your existence."
"Search, create, and then accompany, these are the things I hope you can achieve in the New World. Studying just one category is no longer sufficient, human rights no longer exist. To survive, to live better, to live longer, that is your pursuit."
"Good luck, I look forward to your performance."
After sending the announcement, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord sighed.
Using the players was not his original intention, but under the current circumstances, it had become a necessary action.
He watched the players fall silent after reading the updated content, many players’ shops were disfigured due to the invasions of the shadows, their previous research achievements completely destroyed, leaving nothing but chaos
