To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 890 - 488: A New Job Opportunity_2

What dissatisfied him was that Fang Cheng just blurted it out without giving him any face, making him feel extremely embarrassed.

However, he soon became fascinated by one of Fang Cheng’s comments and eagerly asked, "Great Heavenly Lord, who is the Dream Demon Sovereign? Surely, it’s not who I think it is."

"It’s exactly who you think it is."

"Where is he, then?"

"Ran into him, took care of him on the spot."

Zhiyi Heavenly Lord swallowed hard, realizing there were benefits to living long after all, having encountered such a significant event.

Even though he didn’t feel involved at all, being able to interact with the person involved still gave him a sense of being part of the scene.

Having composed himself, he respectfully said, "The Dream Demon Sovereign is one of the oldest Demon Lords, every awakening of his brings a storm of blood and gore, fighting with him must have been incredibly perilous."

"It was alright, didn’t feel much." Fang Cheng remarked, focusing on the small world before him.

"What cultivation technique did you use? To vanquish the Dream Demon Sovereign, it must have been a very extraordinary Great Divine Power, right?"

"See for yourself."

Drawing a semicircle, Fang Cheng condensed the influence from the time of the encounter within it, then tossed it to Zhiyi Heavenly Lord.

Hastily catching the semicircle formed of mana, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord completed the circle, looking forward with anticipation to the scene from that time, and after a few minutes, lifted his head in total bewilderment.

The entire combat was so simplistic it was maddening; the Dream Demon Sovereign went all out, the Great Heavenly Lord lifted his hand, and the Dream Demon Sovereign was gone.

Staring at the expression of the Dream Demon Sovereign before he dissipated, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord felt a resonance with him:

Great Heavenly Lord, how exactly do you cultivate?

Covering his head, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord said weakly, "Great Heavenly Lord, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to take my leave."

"Oh, safe travels, I won’t see you out."

After sending off the staggering Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, Fang Cheng glanced again at the dog made of bones nesting beside him, then continued observing the split entities in front of him.

Their thoughts were delicately extracted by Fang Cheng, a process which required gentle care to avoid damaging Guixian’s emotions.

Having completed the task, Fang Cheng clapped his hands, and the split entities engulfed in the small world were released.

Looking at these bewildered entities, Fang Cheng said, "I know you have many questions, for convenience, I will communicate with one of you. Then he will convey it to the rest of you, you can choose an entity to step forward now."

The split entities looked at each other.

Although they were now independent beings, they still shared a subtle connection, a link that allowed them to quickly make a decision, and had Alice step forward to face Fang Cheng.

After bowing, Alice took a deep breath nervously.

Once her emotions had settled, she looked at Fang Cheng and said, "First of all, thank you, Great Heavenly Lord, for your timely rescue. If it weren’t for your arrival, we might have been done for."

Fang Cheng nodded, signaling her to continue.

"Also, I would like to know, what does ’taken down’ mean?"

"It means exactly what it sounds like," Fang Cheng replied, " ’Heartbeat City’ will disappear, this game will become unfindable, and any players who downloaded it will not be able to continue playing."

"Does that mean I’ll never see Leon again?"

"Not necessarily, that depends on you."

Alice looked up in confusion and asked, "I don’t understand. We were getting along well with them, actively fulfilling their wishes. In the process, we didn’t hurt them; everything we did served them. So, why must we be separated?"

Looking at the puzzled Alice, Fang Cheng realized the players’ emotions were too intense.

And Guixian was too pure.

Guixian wasn’t born as a normal Immortal; although they could act like humans, they had a long way to go before they could be truly human.

This intrinsic desire of Guixian to fulfill their counterpart’s wants, even to the point of wanting to enter their dreams and probe their innermost thoughts, utterly oblivious that it might cause indelible trauma to their psyche.

As humans, they sort of felt something was off, but compared to satisfying the players’ desires, they thought this little bit of wrongness was no big deal.

And this overly pure emotion can easily become a hotbed for the Demon Lord, leading them deeper down the path of pursuing desires until they become a being that cares for nothing but fulfilling wishes.

The appearance of being utterly dominated by desires is the Demon Lord.

Fang Cheng illustrated these principles, forming a circle and transferring them into Alice’s mind. After thoroughly assimilating this knowledge, Alice had an epiphany.

Within this circle, Fang Cheng also showed Alice the potential consequences if she continued on this path, each so gruesome and unacceptable.

Upon realizing the terrible consequences of her good intentions, Alice finally couldn’t contain herself.

Covering her face, she said with a sob, "I didn’t know, I really didn’t know. I had no idea our kindness could lead to such terrible results, I’m very sorry."

"It’s okay, it’s not too late."

"Will I really never see Leon again?"

"As I said before, it depends on you all. You exist because of me, so it’s also my responsibility to ensure you grow. Right now, you need more contact with players, to understand their thoughts. Hmm... I’ve got it."

With a grab, Fang Cheng pulled over a white-furred lolita, who wore a sleazy grin on her face.

"This candy crush game is really fun, the last piece of clothing is about to be gone... quack! Great Heavenly Lord, why is it you, when did you come?"

Gong Gong quickly hid the book he was reading and revealed a sycophantic smile, wagging his tail behind him as he said, "What brings the Great Heavenly Lord today? I definitely haven’t been slacking off."

"It’s not anything big, I have a batch of new staff here, and I need your help arranging some customer service work for the game, try to give each of them something to do."

"No problem!" Gong Gong thumped his chest resoundingly, "The Great Heavenly Lord’s business is my business, I’ll arrange everything perfectly. By the way, how many people?"

"A million."

"...Are you playing ’Million Arthur’ here? A million people, how am I supposed to arrange work for all of them?"

"You can do it, go on. I’ll deal with the follow-up issues, then it’s all in your hands."

Gong Gong watched Fang Cheng leave, then turned to look toward the distance.

At the small world’s exit, a million split entities were walking out, expectantly looking at Gong Gong.

Holding her throbbing temple, Gong Gong sighed and returned to her workstation.

Facing Tai Yin and the Military Governor on one side, she said listlessly, "There’s good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

"Good news!" Tai Yin immediately responded.

"We got promoted, we will have underlings from now on! We can let the underlings do the work for us!"

"What about the bad news?" The Military Governor asked curiously.

"There are a million underlings, and they’re all fresh out of a romance game, every one of them a love-struck fool. And the Great Heavenly Lord specifically wants them to do customer service, so we have to train them first."

Awkward silence spread through the office.

Afterward, Tai Yin rushed towards the window to escape, but a thick mechanical arm rushed in from outside and pinned Tai Yin firmly against the wall.

Patting Tai Yin’s cheek, Gong Gong said helplessly, "Don’t even think about escaping, this is our ordeal, inescapable."

"Let me go! Training recruits is what I hate most!"

"I told you, there’s no escape, just enjoy it."

"No!"

After a chaotic period of adjustment, when Gong Gong, Tai Yin, and the Military Governor were so stressed they wanted to shoot a few to perk up, when they were already starting to play with the hydraulic pump, these people finally graduated.

Though still a bit rough around the edges, they could now answer some basic questions and attempt to help players solve some issues.

And the first problem they faced was to explain to the players the delisting issue of "Heartbeat City."
