Chapter 735: Players' New Plan

Originally, online forums were still discussing the battle between Emperor Qi and the Three-Pillar Gods, which was being continuously live-streamed, leading to extremely heated discussions about how terrifying the fight was.

"The Three-Pillar Gods are definitely the most tragic Ninth-Tier beings in history, encountering Emperor Qi, who's basically cheating (LOL)."

"The most tragic Ninth-Tier in history. They endured the most difficult Ninth-Tier path, yet they can't replenish their energy no matter what!"

"Mainly, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art is too terrifying. It's the strongest safe in the world. Back then, the concept behind this cultivation method was to resist the Dark Turmoil, to resist Emperor Qi, and to counteract the methods of slaughtering living beings for energy. Now, it's being used against the Three-Pillar Gods..."

Hundreds of thousands of posts flooded the internet, all enthusiastically discussing the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art. After all, this cultivation method was too remarkable, truly shameless. The more they thought about it, the more shameless it seemed.

Akina Mountain Speed: "I'm starting to suspect that after this wave, the Three-Pillar Gods will completely shift their target! They'll try to find and locate the mini-universe world to deal with Caroline."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that Akina Mountain Speed made a lot of sense. This 'safe' simply couldn't be broken open.

"But it's clear that the mini-universe side has also started to assert its dominance. If the Three-Pillar Gods go there, they might get severely beaten! A bunch of Super Saiyans, ahhh! Where did Majin Buu come from? Spirit Bomb!"

Everyone immediately gasped. What the hell? Could this really be the fated course of history?

"They might not be able to withstand the Three-Pillar Gods because the world structure is different. That side doesn't have the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art's system for living beings, so the Three-Pillar Gods could go to various planets, wipe out populations, and absorb energy!"

"Indeed, the Ninth-Tier beings there are too weak. After transforming into 'disabled' Ninth-Tier forms and fully replenishing their energy, their combat power is only comparable to the Three-Pillar Gods *before* they absorb energy. But what if the Three-Pillar Gods don't engage directly and instead fight a guerrilla war?"

Many people found this reasoning sound. While the Three-Pillar Gods might be evenly matched with them *now*, they are normal Ninth-Tier beings. They could choose not to fight, bypass their opponents, eat their fill, slaughter living beings, and then become complete, healthy Ninth-Tier entities. At that point, those 'disabled' ones would be beaten to death!

"Thinking about it this way, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art is still the ultimate counter to the Three-Pillar Gods!" everyone remarked. After all, with everyone being a 'keyboard sage,' their discussions on current affairs were never lagging.

"Right! Although the mini-universe world can give birth to many beings with combat power similar to the Three-Pillar Gods, the probability of them being wiped out is extremely high."

"Unless their various Super Saiyans reach a certain number, enough to completely surround and kill the Three-Pillar Gods, denying them any chance for guerrilla warfare."

While everyone was discussing the outcome of the battle between Emperor Qi and the Three-Pillar Gods, the players who had raided Emperor Qi's 'backyard' and ambushed the giant octopus emerged.

"Hello everyone, we're out," Yuan Qinghua posted a comment.

"Done?" everyone couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Qinghua: "Sorry, it's done. It took longer than expected because Emperor Qi's 'rear end' was quite substantial!"

Everyone: "....."

You guys are really getting a thrill out of this, aren't you?

Many were incredibly envious, feeling that this wave was incredibly exciting. It was a pity they were outside and hadn't gotten a spot to enter, which was disheartening.

"But when the time comes, you might be crying for your mommies and daddies," someone couldn't help but say.

Yuan Qinghua: "Are we scared? I killed the giant octopus purely out of love! After all, the essence of love is coveting its body."

A screenshot appeared. The image showed the remains of the giant octopus, with a large number of flamboyant poems scrawled on its corpse, like a 'Kilroy was here' message. Everyone was dumbfounded, seeing how unrestrained these guys were. Emperor Qi has already deeply remembered you all.

Yuan Qinghua: "Cough, cough. Let me explain the specific process and what we gained from this wave... As we know, the ancient super-gods once transported remains to the Ishdarians to be made into mechanical battle armor, which were then sent back to the Six Paths of Reincarnation as part of the cycle, proving that the two worlds are not far apart. The Lava Land and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was clear that the Lord of Reincarnation was also secretly observing the battles in the three worlds, and this time, he clearly intervened directly to 'steal' from Emperor Qi. So, we were just following the big boss's lead."

"To all the netizens here, who are veteran online game players, you've probably guessed that our situation is like passing the 'newbie village' and unlocking a new game expansion pack: 'Cosmic Giant Octopus'."

Many netizens listened attentively. Why? Because this was an online game! Which meant they also had a chance to enter. As long as their thousand-player server won the PVP fighting competition in the Wizard Community, they could enter the Gourmet World. Now, basically, every season, several thousand players were entering.

The entire Animal Path had become an online game, a world for many players. Although these players were truly 'junior.' The flow of time in the Animal Path, similar to the Wizard Community, was extremely slow. They would suffer attacks from the Celestial Path and Mortal Path above them. Still, being a low-dimensional creature was better than nothing! Not everyone could write a thesis and enter the transcendent world.

Someone asked, "So, from now on, it's the era of massive online games across all realms?"

Yuan Qinghua: "No way! Our lifespan is only eighty years. Asura Path warriors, due to their evolutionary traits, only live for a tenth of a normal creature's lifespan. The earliest batch will soon be 'finished' – they've already passed two-thirds of their lives. And if they can't break through the Heavenly Emperor realm, their lifespan can't be extended!"

Everyone reacted quickly to this. Indeed, things were too poor in all aspects. Even if it was an era of massive online games, they would soon be eliminated.

Yuan Qinghua: "So, according to our speculation, to continue playing, we must extend our lifespan by breaking through to godhood, which is like breaking level 80 and successfully changing classes... But to break through to godhood, we need to overthrow the Emperor of Reincarnation, and that brings us back to the main quest line."

Akina Mountain Speed nodded upon hearing this. Godhood was a turning point. If they didn't break through to godhood, Heavenly Emperor level was still just a player; dying was fine, like in an online game. But once they broke through to godhood, they would truly become themselves. Just like him now, and Cute Girl, Thunder Emperor, and others.

However, gods were already out of sync with the times, much like Heavenly Emperors back then, at a mid-tier level. Unlike back then, when only a rare god or two existed, now, gods were as common as dogs. High-tier gods were just slightly stronger 'weaklings.' Only gods who had embarked on the Ninth-Tier path, like the Daughter of the Flourishing Forest and others, were at the peak of combat power in the world. The true suppressive, hegemonic combat power in the future would be the Ninth-Tier.

Akina Mountain Speed: "Overthrowing the Lord of Reincarnation and breaking through the immortal path that spans eternity isn't something you can achieve in the short term. Are there any other goals?"

Yuan Qinghua: "Yes, there are. We plan to help the giant octopus cultivate. This country bumpkin, this 'mud-legged' creature who hasn't seen much of the world, will have its soul body break through to godhood. Then, we'll let it sense its parents and various siblings from afar, 'fishing' them out and extracting their energy (with an excited expression)."
