Chapter 163: Chapter 124: First Under Heaven (Part 2) – 1

Above the Sea of Consciousness, Fang Cheng was seated above his Sea of Consciousness, beginning to retrieve his thoughts from within it.

Soon enough, a chibi version of Fang Cheng was scooped up by him and sat next to the original Fang Cheng above the Sea of Consciousness, then began to stroke his chin and “Hmm…” started.

Finding that this thought was still struggling, Fang Cheng reached in again for another thought. A new thought emerged and likewise began its contemplative “Hmm…”

After a dozen or so thoughts, the space above the Sea of Consciousness was filled with little Fang Chengs, each one tangled in indecision.

Realizing that nearly all of his thoughts were mired in indecision, Fang Cheng clapped his hands to disperse these thoughts, then knew that this attempt was likely a failure as well.

He had been well-prepared, but then Dustfire threw everything into chaos, a sign that something had gone slightly awry.

Since arriving here, he had casually resolved the unexpected matters, but the players’ attitudes had markedly changed.

On the official game website “Home of the Game,” a group of people were leaving comments under “Dark Builder.”

[When will the world boss be open again? We can hardly wait!]

[That’s right, hurry up and bring it on!]

[I’m going to die without a world boss.]

[The third hour without the world boss, I miss it.]

The cooperative tone of the game hadn’t changed, but the building tone had completely skewed into another form.

A massive number of players were no longer discussing how to resist the Shadows but instead began discussing how to construct traps to efficiently eradicate players, ultimately aiming for rapid attribute leveling.

Others discussed strategies beyond the revenge build, incorporating magical weapons into the process to further consider how to maximize efficiency and strengthen their efforts, making the players’ demise all the more efficient.

Covering his head, Fang Cheng wondered if he had had too easy a life in his previous incarnation to deserve such torment by the players in this one.

Why must his opportunity for the Great Dao be in a video game and rely on this chaotic group of players for help?

A mere Evil God, just a shadow aspect of Little Heavenly Way, could shift your goals, couldn’t you all just stick to one gameplay and continue down that path?

Eager to realign the players’ gaming objectives, Fang Cheng extrapolated the current situation and discovered there was no going back.

For the players, slaying the world boss was far more enjoyable, leading them to focus merely on how to steamroll bosses, while the basic gameplay took a back seat.

Realizing this, Fang Cheng felt that his approach to taking down the Female Evil God might have been a bit hasty.

She should have been made to suffer a fate worse than death.

Extracting the memory of the Female Evil God, Fang Cheng painstakingly went through it and then learned about her origin and grew curious about the Shadows.

This sort of thing that could devour Heavenly Tao Fragments and reassemble them had existed before, albeit with not as many traits and not in such vast numbers.

But now, many areas of the Mirror Universe were filled with Shadows, making the world extremely dangerous.

The origins of the Shadows must also be related to the mystery of the Immortals’ departure.

Directly eradicating all the Shadows wasn’t impossible, but the affected region had already integrated with the Shadows at the foundational level; to remove them, the Heavenly Tao network connected with the Shadows would need to be destroyed as well.

Yet, employing more gentle methods would require a lot of time and be rather troublesome to carry out.

He needed to locate individual nodes and deploy Immortal Spell at these critical points to block the invasion of the Shadows, a time-consuming, effort-intensive, and utterly tedious process.

But if he neglected it, there was an eighty percent chance that more oddities would arise from within and interfere with his pursuit of the Dao, so he had to find a solution.

With a sigh, Fang Cheng had hoped to let players enjoy the pleasure of constructing their dwellings here after his successful ascension to immortality.

It seemed that this privilege would have to be temporarily withheld.

He wanted to leave directly, but seeing the growing calls on the website forum for the return of the “world boss,” he could only shrug his shoulders and bring Tian Xuan over.

Pointing at the Dark Planet filled with bonfires, Fang Cheng purified all the Heavenly Tao Fragments obtained from the Female Evil God and turned them into little cookies, placing them into Tian Xuan’s pocket.

“These little snacks are for you to eat. And since you wanted to repay the players, these players highly overlap with those from the ‘Healer’ planet, so you can repay them. As for how to repay them… I suggest you just create a few more world bosses for them, and give them whatever they wish for as you see fit.”

Feeling the origin of the little treats, Tian Xuan carefully stored them away and then nodded vigorously.

“You begin constructing the Heavenly Tao network here. I feel that the Little Heavenly Ways here should have some information. Later on, we’ll search together.”

Tian Xuan nodded again.

After sending Fang Cheng away, Tian Xuan carefully took out a piece of the little treats and started to nibble on it cautiously.

Being a personification of Little Heavenly Way, these Heavenly Tao Fragments were like rare tonics to her, not only delicious but also greatly beneficial to her growth.

The devoured Heavenly Tao Fragments began to repair her body, which remained riddled with holes even after expelling her afflictions, but these fragments started mending her gaps, slowly making her whole.

After eating one, she licked her lips, wanting to have another piece, but ultimately refrained.

Eating too much at once could satisfy the concept of gastronomic desire, but it wouldn’t aid much in healing herself and would instead waste these precious Heavenly Tao Fragments.
