Chapter 43: The Multiverse: Primordial Dawn Goes Live!

Introducing the three-dimensional soul consciousness seems simple, but it requires careful handling. Jiang Ping spent a whole night studying it and finally figured out the best approach.

Games: the source of all evil, a lifelong enemy of parents, a close friend of students, a killer of money, and a time-waster.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ping began his work. With Genesis, nothing would slip through the cracks; he could even force the game onto the platform.

Jiang Ping was quite casual about it. Company: Genesis Company, Address: Above the Multiverse, Game: ‘The Multiverse: Primordial Dawn’, Producer: The God.

Jiang Ping opened his notebook to check the most popular platforms.

Steam? Not bad. With this thought, Jiang Ping uploaded the game without needing any review; it passed instantly. Sorry, I’m the Creator God and I do as I please.

GOG? That seems alright too. Let’s upload it there as well to try to lure in even more players. After checking a few other major platforms, he uploaded there too and didn’t think about it anymore.

Currently tight on funds, Jiang Ping wrote the following in the game announcement:

‘The game has just been developed, perfectly recreating the ancient primordial mythological world with 100% realism; pure black technology.’

The first test has 100 spots available, first come, first served. Treasure your chance to play the game; any feedback can be given, and whether or not it’s accepted is another matter.

Indeed, it’s as reckless as that! He didn’t have to worry about revealing the true secrets. Jiang Ping was quite relaxed about it.

As for others who thought the game was too black technology and wanted to investigate, they’d first need to find the position! He couldn’t be bothered to think of any tricks; he was straightforward in telling everyone that this game definitely had issues!

After everything was arranged, Jiang Ping got up to step outside for some fresh air.

Lin Qing, a university student, was skipping classes today to play games. Like usual, he logged into Steam to see if any new games had been released.

‘Huh? This name has a background of Chinese mythology? That’s pretty rare.’

Curious, he clicked on a game icon shaped like an axe, which looked impressive. After reading the game introduction, Lin Qing’s face turned dark.

‘Honestly, after playing games for so long, this is the first time I’ve seen such a brazen game official!’ Lin Qing exclaimed.

Even though some game companies treat players like livestock, occasionally sacrificing a few for the festival or harvesting like crops, at least they put on a good façade.

But this blatant attitude was something he had never encountered before!

He took a second look at the game company and details. Heh? How arrogant! Is there something wrong? How does the gaming platform approve this? With a click, he reported it, intrigued about what kind of game could be so high-tech. He figured that he would just download it and see what all the fuss was about.

However, given the official’s attitude, Lin Qing decided he was only going to take a look, and he would delete it right after!

If he had to keep playing this game, he would rather quit gaming forever, delete his Steam account, and smash his computer!

After all, as a hardcore paying gamer, he had his pride. If forced to spend, that’s fine, but this blatant insult crossed his line! The game downloaded in a flash—only 100kb!

‘What the hell!’

He couldn’t help but curse. At this size, it claims to fully recreate a mythological world? Tetris is bigger than this! It probably only contains one icon’s memory. Lin Qing had already judged that not only was the game’s official arrogant, but the game itself was garbage.

As he clicked on the game icon, Lin Qing felt a brief darkness before he was dumbfounded—one moment he was still in his dorm, and the next he was standing in a vast white world!

A grand voice echoed from the heavens: ‘The game has just been developed; the races are undetermined. The body will be randomly selected for reincarnation. Feature for customizable avatar is supported.’

Lin Qing didn’t have time to complain about the voice’s nonchalance; while trying to select his body in the game, he quickly found the exit button and clicked it! ‘My goodness! What kind of game is this? Alien technology? A groundbreaking creation?’

Lin Qing’s mind returned to his dorm, with only this thought lingering.

Suddenly, he remembered that the first test only had 100 slots, so he quickly called his good buddy!

‘Hey, Da Biao, stop messing around outside and hurry back! There’s a new game that’s out of this world!’

However, the 100 spots were soon snatched up. After all, since it was free, even if people despised the official, they would still download it to give it a try, and in doing so, a huge issue arose!

Ten minutes later, Lin Qing saw a hot post in the game section: ‘The God’s Prank? Or Alien Invasion!’

Game Xiao Zhang: ‘Hello everyone, this is Xiao Zhang. As usual, I was browsing the game library for new games when I came across this new game called ‘The Multiverse: Primordial Dawn’ and I didn’t think much of it.

However, after seeing the game’s brazen introduction, I took a closer look. The producer claims to be God. I thought it was just some delusional producer and casually reported it, thinking the platform’s review was too lax.

Seeing this, Lin Qing remembered he had just reported it too! He couldn’t wait to see what this guy had to say.

At this moment, he wanted to enter the game again but feared he wouldn’t be able to get out once he did!

And isn’t it normal to look for guides before playing a game?

The post continued to update: After I reported it, the reviewer sent me a message saying this game might have been uploaded by a hacker, and there was no way to delete it! At this time, I didn’t realize how serious the problem was. With the first test having 100 slots and since it was free, I downloaded it without a second thought, but I didn’t expect the game to be so tiny—only 100kb!

As I entered the game with a slight smile, eager to see which genius was prank-pulling, I suddenly found myself in a world of white light! It feels as if I really traversed time and space! I found the screenshot function but couldn’t find the recording function. You all take a look first.

A completely white image appeared in the post. Lin Qing recognized it as the scene he had just seen.

Other users began to chime in.

Da Bai: ‘Are the costs of water posts this high now? Did you really need to come up with such an outrageous title?’

I’d actually like to see how you spin this. Here’s the mic; if you can’t come up with anything, you’re dead! 小脸: ‘Front row seat to the show. It wouldn’t be another case of paid marketing, would it?’

Game Xiao Zhang: ‘Everyone, don’t doubt me! I guarantee with my life that everything I said is true—this game has some major problems!’

After entering the white world, a voice appeared. It should be the system, right? Anyway, it randomly reincarnated me.

As my vision turned black, I felt I could control my body. It was just like learning to walk! These four legs were hard to maneuver; I bit the dust several times!

Then came the big reveal—important news ahead! Prepare your minds! Swish, swish!

A series of images flooded the post, revealing a hideous creature with a tiger’s head and a cow’s body. In the distance, scenery ached with fairy-like beauty.

Additionally, there were some scenic pictures with towering mountains that commanded respect, and the occasional silhouette of a giant bird across the sky.

The giant bird was unimaginably massive, covered in gold, its wings spread wide in a dazzling display! Kunxi: ‘What the heck? The host, you’re disturbingly ugly, but the game’s graphics are really good! I’ve got to search for it.’

Nine Heavens Immortal: ‘That big bird looks beautiful! It must be similar to the Golden-Winged Great Peng from ancient times.’

And did you notice? Every corner of the image is alive! Even when zoomed in on the Golden-Winged Great Peng, you can still see each individual feather.

Is this really possible from a 100kb game? Also, host, you’re truly ugly to the core.

North Mysterious Rain: ‘Loved it! This is the mythological art style I love! I’m rushing to download it; as for whether the wonders the host claimed are true, I’ll take a look for myself.

Also, Xiao Zhang, your game character is just too ugly; please, just end it now and be reborn!’
