Chapter 1202: Layout

He had previously thought this bloodline was incredibly powerful, but he never imagined it was an evil bloodline capable of unleashing natural disasters. Now, it seemed incredibly easy to "infect" one city after another, drawing them into his transcendent world by offering computer games as a condition for entry. After all, this presented an immense opportunity for them, akin to a heaven-defying bloodline offering infinite resurrections, so they naturally wouldn't resist.

For him, while he gained influence, doing such a thing under the Sages' very noses—eroding their foundations—was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth! This was directly challenging all the Sages across the entire land!

"Even if the Sages' true bloodlines are hidden within their Dao Fields... their affiliated civilizations and races won't be weak either, and I've forcibly taken them one by one..." A chill went through his heart.

He had always hidden himself to cultivate, even serving as a senior disciple in an unremarkable, ordinary sect, daring not to reveal even a hint of his wealth. He had even feigned poverty while fishing, pooling resources with his fellow disciples. He had hidden himself very deeply, intending to quietly ascend to the peak, but now... His composure was shattered.

"You... this..." Zhang Youling stammered, looking somewhat dazed.

"We are doing all of this for your own good," Zhang Tong replied.

Zhang Tong, with a righteous and fervent expression, stepped forward and reported, "With such normal development, quietly hiding away, who knows how many tens of thousands of years it would take for you to perfectly achieve the Ninth Tier and breakthrough to become a Sage..."

"Tens of thousands of years is already quite fast," Zhang Youling said. To steadily cultivate in secret and reach the peak of the universe in tens of thousands of years would be considered nothing short of a prodigious talent.

But Zhang Tong's face was filled with disdain. Tens of thousands of years—that's an incredibly long time! We've only been revived for ten thousand years! Such slow, hesitant development would exhaust anyone's patience. Are you asking us to wait for tens of thousands of years? As the leader of us players, you must board the high-speed train of this era and rush forward with us! We will lead you to eternal glory and prosperity!

Zhang Tong continued, "Rather than slow development, it's better to plunder resources! Undermine the Sages' foundations, poach their ranks, seize their fortunes! Even if it means making enemies of all the Sages in the world, we will still help you!"

"Enemies with all the Sages?" Zhang Youling's eyelids twitched wildly. He had initially thought these were Dao seekers unafraid of Sages, but he hadn't realized they were a band of bandits intent on desecrating the Sages' ancestral graves. His heart couldn't handle such a thrilling prospect. He was merely an enlightened being of the Ninth Tier; how could he provoke the more than ten Sages of heaven and earth across the entire land? To him, this was both incredibly unbelievable and utterly audacious. A Sage could crush him with just one finger... And now, being openly exposed before the Sages, with them knowing of his existence... Even if it were difficult for them to detect his true identity, exposure itself brought danger, especially since some of his extraordinary encounters were hard to explain.

"Our plan is not unfeasible," Zhang Tong said with a serious expression. "It requires both immense audacity and meticulous thought. It might seem like we're courting death, utterly rebellious... However, if we execute our plan properly, we, as enlightened beings, can leverage countless Sages... Right now, with our Ninth-Tier bodies, we can make them heed your every command, and you can even divide the world with them!"

Zhang Youling was stunned, his mind instantly reeling, his heart filled with a profound yearning. This was indeed thrilling, a true gamble, but he also clearly understood that if he executed it properly, relying on his time-cutting ability, he could erase the causality of that specific period, preventing opponents from tracking his movements. This, combined with remote control via his quantum clones... Even Sages might not be able to catch him!

His expression showed extreme struggle, and he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is your plan?"

"Our plan is to 'infect' all the forces and cities outside the Dao Fields, orchestrating an earth-shattering scheme! You will directly become the greatest Heavenly Calamity on this land! This is a Heavenly Calamity that only Sages can avoid—the great tribulation known as the Burning Legion's Crusade: the Wrath of the Lich King! And you, sir, are the Lich King."

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Xu Zhi sat within the Dao Field of the Cosmic Garden, where the Ancient Mother of Nine Heads beside him had already awakened. "They're going for the most exciting thing right from the start, huh? Either don't play, or play for the highest stakes?" His eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but shake his head. These players were certainly experts at seeking thrills and were indeed masters of planning, but their plans were always "poisonous." "This Zhang Youling is still too young! These rascals need to be kept in check. If you truly let them run wild, your heart might not be able to withstand it indefinitely." Xu Zhi had long suffered from their antics; they were constantly stirring up trouble. Even Emperor Qi frequently had headaches because of them and continually suppressed their activities.

And at this moment, for the players, this was the perfect opportunity to fully display their capabilities. After all, previously, the Super Ancient God had always remained hidden, and Emperor Qi merely sought peaceful cultivation within the Dao Field, wishing to avoid trouble. Both parties needed to conceal their identities, leaving the players with no chance to stir things up. But now, with a new master, they no longer needed to hide. They had been given the identity of an entire civilization! They weren't a Buddhist or Daoist transcendent civilization, but a completely new quantum television civilization. This meant the Super Ancient God's enemies wouldn't find them, and they could rise under this new guise, immediately embarking on drastic transformations...

"What did you do to me?" the Ancient Mother of Nine Heads asked softly at that moment.

Xu Zhi turned around, realizing the Ancient Mother of Nine Heads was looking at him. He couldn't help but say, "I didn't do anything. I merely used a certain method to test your heart, confirming your genuine loyalty to us and the absence of ulterior motives." The Ancient Mother of Nine Heads was momentarily stunned.

Renimansijia, however, looked indifferent and said, "You can live here. Our fishing ground is about to open for business."

"What fishing ground?" the Ancient Mother of Nine Heads asked. What had happened during her period of slumber?

Beside her, Little Shiji said earnestly, "Hmph, those guys next door set up a fishing ground and extorted a lot of wealth from the common people. We should set one up too... They claim theirs comes with the ocean currents, and we also have a current that forms a whirlpool here, bringing ancient relics to our shores."

"What about the treasures?" the Wulin Alliance Master said. "There has to be a grand prize, right? They managed to get a mutated Path Dao Fruit; it's simply shameless."

"Well, we're not as shameless as them..." Medusa mused, then couldn't help but say, "How about we create a Grand Dao Overture atlas? After all, the Grand Dao atlas from the Genesis spell I developed earlier still holds some value. Dividing it into fragments and producing it would be feasible..."

"That's a good idea."

The group discussed it. The Ancient Mother of Nine Heads simply listened quietly, only then beginning to understand what had transpired in this land.
