Chapter 532, Game Administrator
“The core rule of the game is just one.”
“You all need to play your assigned roles well. Don’t expose your identities as Primordial Deities, and don’t make those around you suspicious.”
“You cannot use abilities outside your identity. If discovered, it counts as cheating and you’ll be directly eliminated, unable to participate in the allocation of the Tianbao Dizang.”
“Each of you will start with a hundred initial points. These points can be used to exchange for various items, permission to use abilities, change identities, etc. I will distribute detailed information to you in document form.”
“Remember,” Sang Zhe reminded, “these points are also your life points.”
“If you raise suspicion among those around you, do things against your identity, or act out in malice, points will be deducted accordingly.”
“If you complete your tasks perfectly and stand out, even earning rewards, while not causing suspicion from anyone, your points can increase after a month.”
“Ultimately, these points will decide how much Tianbao Dizang each person receives, and once your points run out, the game ends.”
“The game starts tomorrow and lasts for…”
After a slight pause, Sang Zhe softly added, “…five years.”
As Sang Zhe’s words fell.
The seven deities glanced at each other, seemingly deep in thought.
Ancient Cang was the first to speak: “I said before, don’t think about annoying me. If you want me to do some disgusting task like dealing with poop, I’ll never accept it!”
“You think too much.”
Sang Zhe chuckled, “I just seriously asked you all about your preferences. Naturally, I’ll set the tasks according to your likes.”
“Rest assured, your tasks will be related to your enjoying aspects, and you won’t feel uncomfortable but rather interested.”
Ancient Cang squinted, seemingly thinking of what tricks Sang Zhe might still have. Xu Yao beside him chuckled:
“Kid. This game doesn’t seem to be a problem.”
“However… do you really think we can’t see through your little tricks?”
“Five years? While we’re playing house, all the Tianbao will probably be collected by you.”
“By then, even if the game ends, you would have gathered all the power. As long as you don’t acknowledge it, everything would revert to square one, right?”
“That’s simple.” Sang Zhe waved his hand boldly.
A glistening crystal suddenly appeared in his hand.
“The first month of the game is a trial period.”
“The player with the most points in the first month will directly receive this DIZANG Immortal Crystal from me.”
“After the first month, every eight months will be a season. At the end of each season, the player with the highest score will get the reward for that season, the DIZANG Immortal Treasure.”
“The new season resets each player’s score, allowing everyone fair competition opportunities each season.”
Sang Zhe casually tossed and caught the DIZANG Immortal Crystal, leisurely declaring, “If you don’t believe what I’m saying, why not play for a month? You’ll see if the stuff actually ends up in your hands.”
Watching the DIZANG Immortal Crystal in Sang Zhe’s hand, Xu Yao’s murky eyes flashed with a hint of temptation, but he still remained silent.
“Any other questions?” Sang Zhe turned to look at the others.
Old Woman Xi shook her head, Jiang Mei giggled, “We’ll listen to the little brother~”
Foolish Child grinned widely, revealing his big teeth, “Sounds great! It sounds so fun!”
Huo Longyuan’s gaze remained deep, revealing no emotions.
Once everyone had given their silent consent, Sang Zhe nodded, “In that case, I’ll distribute the task tools to each of you.”
With a wave of his hand, a Communication Device appeared in front of each one of the seven.
“This item is called a Communication Device. Even ordinary mortals with no cultivation can use it to achieve effects like celestial travel and long-distance communication.”
“Your Communication Devices are specially made, already programmed with the entire game system. After logging in, you’ll see your game points.”
“You can watch your own and others’ points in real-time on the Communication Device, and you can contact me anytime using it. I’ll be available 24/7 to clarify any doubts you have.”
“If there are no other questions,” Sang Zhe politely bowed, “you can rest tonight in the luxurious rooms I’ve prepared for you.”
“Tomorrow morning, I will personally take each of you to your respective positions to start the game.”
At Sang Zhe’s gesture, while the expression of the deities varied, it was clear they all had a test-it-out mindset and decided to play the game for a month. They passed by him one by one, reaching Li Shanyan who was prepared to guide them.
As they passed by Sang Zhe, their expressions were quite the spectacle.
Xu Yao’s eyes were filled with curiosity. Old Woman Xi had a sinister chuckle.
Jiang Mei flirtatiously shot a wink at Sang Zhe, while Foolish Child continued grinning, carefree as ever.
When Huo Longyuan passed by, he shot Sang Zhe a glance that was almost imperceptible. Ancient Cang’s eyes were filled with wariness and disdain, accompanied by a smirking taunt:
“I’ll be waiting to see what tricks you can pull.”
However, regardless of their attitudes, Sang Zhe’s expression remained the same.
Calm, polite, neither servile nor haughty.
The last one, staying at the end of the line.
The figure shrouded in a cloak, with their features obscured and distorted, was the mysterious deity. Hong Yi.
As they passed by Sang Zhe, they suddenly stopped.
Sang Zhe heard a voice in his ear, one only he could hear.
“…Found you.”
Sang Zhe’s eyes slightly lowered, a fleeting glimpse of something flickered in his gaze.
But the next moment, Hong Yi gracefully moved away, as if their words were merely a figment of Sang Zhe’s imagination.
When all the deities headed back, Sang Zhe finally heard Xu Yourong’s voice in his Communication Device:
“Sang brother, we… we did it…”
“Successful?”
“Yeah.” Sang Zhe nodded, “You could say it’s a success.”
Instantly, cheers and sighs of relief sounded in his earpiece, and Xu Yourong anxiously patted his chest, “You scared me… I can’t believe we actually survived!”
“You have no idea, the suffocating pressure when that group of deities descended… It’s a miracle you could chat with them so casually.”
“Our family has long said, this world is best left to Young Master Sang, it’s so reassuring.” Qin Xiuyuan finally displayed a smile of relief.
Gu Yingmian stepped beside Sang Zhe and gently held his hand.
“…You worked hard.” The shine in her beautiful eyes glimmered as her voice was soft and pleasant.
In fact, it wasn’t just them.
On the hundreds of ships outside the island. The Sang family.
Demon Cultivators, Sword Flower Palace, Holy Kingdom, Demon Domain, Floating Splendor Commerce.
Even all the millions of onlookers watching the live stream.
At the moment the deities departed, all the tension everyone felt finally eased, and the entire live stream turned into a sea of cheers and excitement.
The descent of the deities. This was a disaster that threatened the very existence of the beings in the Abyss Realm.
The first hurdle had been successfully surpassed.
