Chapter 54: Is Rebellion Really That Easy?

The Ziwei Fairy sighed softly, “What you just said is not untrue, but the Chaos Bell already has a master—one whose depth far surpasses mine!”

Ji Lao Jiang paused his ceaseless tirade, “Are you referring to that three-legged golden crow inside? Isn’t it still not born yet?”

It’s probably still disoriented right now.

The Ziwei Fairy glanced with her divine eyes at the sun’s core, where a divine beast, entirely resembling a golden sculpture, was embracing the Chaos Bell, drifting in and out. Around it, the furious sunfire was gentler than the sea itself!

“The Chaos Bell carries immense causation. Whoever possesses it must bear this causation!” The Ziwei Fairy explained.

“Since you don’t wish to become my mount right now, I’ll seal you for the time being! One day, you’ll willingly offer yourself!”

With that, the Ziwei Fairy cast a grand spell, and Ji Lao Jiang’s ten-meter tall body shrank rapidly, soon being contained within a birdcage-like treasure.

Of the thirty-six strategies, fleeing is the best option.

Ji Lao Jiang could only log off and seek help from netizens.

In the next moment, he posted on the forum:

“Innocent player trapped by beastly girl, forcibly mounted!”

The title was undeniably eye-catching, especially since it was posted by the only Ji Lao Jiang still in the Primordial World.

Immediately, it caught the attention of many.

North Mysterious Rain: “Ji Lao, what happened? You didn’t fall under the gaze of some ancient deity, did you? Is it true you’ve become the sixteenth concubine?”  Game Master Zhang: “Dragons are indeed lecherous. I calculated with my fingers, Ji Lao must have been caught by some she-dragon and imprisoned in a crystal palace!”  Spending Addict: “By the way, can you still do ‘the deed’ in the game? Won’t it get you banned?”  Ji Lao Jiang quickly clarified, “Please don’t tarnish my innocent reputation! Let me explain!”

I had already located the Sun Star, just a step away from the Chaos Bell! I was even starting to dream of becoming the Heavenly Emperor!  But just then, an arrogant and domineering woman appeared.

Of course, Ji Lao wouldn’t mention that she was drawn in by his mischievous laughter! This was all his own doing!

Looking at the image, many netizens could only marvel at the exquisite characters in the Primordial World, praising the Ziwei Fairy’s stunning beauty.

In an instant, a swarm of infatuated admirers emerged.

Ji Lao Jiang was furious: “This girl doesn’t know her place! To forcefully pin me beneath her! How shameless!” He then uploaded the image.

Many netizens hurriedly opened it, eager to see what vile image had been shared.

To their surprise, the picture was of a fairy surrounded by ethereal light, sitting atop a massive purple giant bird ten meters long.

Haha, everyone burst into laughter.

“I took my pants off, and this is what you show me?” one netizen joked.

Spending Addict: “So you were forcibly made into a mount!”  Ji Lao replied indignantly: “That Ziwei Fairy named Ziwai seems to be some kind of deity born from the Ziwai Star. She said my aptitude was mediocre and forcefully altered my color! My green feathers disappeared!  I even revealed the secret of the Chaos Bell to exchange with her, but she insisted that she had profound causation and had to ride me against my will.

Now I’m sealed away, trapped in this birdcage!

Many netizens remarked on Ji Lao Jiang’s strange fate, being just a step from the Chaos Bell yet made into a mount.

However, some people remarked that it’s a good thing; being ridden by a beauty is better than a man, right?  Ji Lao Jiang replied: “You bunch of worthless admirers! One day, I will rise again! She rides me today, but tomorrow I’ll ride her!”  Netizens laughed again, the forum filled with joy.

In the past, players rode game characters; now it’s the game characters riding players!

Jiang Ping at home also reflected on Ji Lao Jiang’s strange fate. Though it seemed Ji Lao was humiliated, he actually gained tremendous benefits.

Soon, the game had finished updating; at that moment, over a million people were rubbing their hands in front of their computers, waiting to claim spots.

Click.

199 spots disappeared in an instant, netizens cried out in amazement, and individuals started to flaunt their qualifications.

“Wow, this is the smell of freedom!♂ Love it!”

“The Second World is real!”

Many newcomers marveled, and they noticed that the game update added many new features, allowing players to ally with different factions!

“Let me see, what is this? Dragon Clan? The first clan in the Primordial World? Sounds good. As the descendant of dragons, I choose the Dragon Clan! Brothers, I’m becoming a divine dragon!”

Choosing different factions leads to entirely different reincarnated races. Of course, random reincarnation is still retained.

But this time, everyone noticed that the randomly reincarnated beasts were no match for the power of the initial testing players!

“Wow, how did I randomly turn into a fierce beast? Isn’t that a race destined to fade into history?”

A player named “Everything is Ephemeral” exclaimed in shock.

This time, the players were well-versed in myth and legend, naturally knowing that fierce beasts born from the remnants of the Chaos Demon are naturally despised by the world, sure to be swept into the trash bin of history!

Everyone lamented the misfortune of this player, Everything is Ephemeral, but the next moment, they couldn’t feel sorry for him anymore, because his prowess was simply terrifying!  In the Primordial World, the hierarchy was: Earth Immortal → Heaven Immortal → Golden Immortal → Taiyi Golden Immortal → Da Luo Golden Immortal → Quasi-Saint → Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal (Saint).

Although Hongjun had not yet created his teachings, many with divine and demonic legacies possess Golden Immortal strength.

According to analysis, the initial test players all had Heaven Immortal strength!  They just didn’t know the methods of cultivation and could only rely on physical power, while most of the second batch of reincarnated players only had Earth Immortal strength!

Only the reincarnated fierce beast, Everything is Ephemeral, was terrifyingly powerful, boasting Golden Immortal strength!

Some netizens speculated that “Everything is Ephemeral” might be so strong upon reincarnation because he is a fierce beast, and the system compensated.

As for those below Immortal? Haha, there were no weak beings during the dawn of creation!

Pulling out grass is already something exceptional in later generations! Thus, it is indeed the best of times!

Someone lamented, “It seems this version’s main storyline is about the terrestrial creatures of the Primordial World eliminating the remnants of the Chaos Demon. Fierce beasts are indeed powerful, yet they are destined for destruction!  Everything is Ephemeral, you should find a way to escape early!”

“Why does it feel like the second batch is obviously worse off than the first? It seems like the sooner you enter the Primordial World, the better!”

“By the time the later versions come, I bet we’ll have to start from being mortals!”

One by one, players chose to reincarnate as dragons, phoenixes, or qilins, the three supreme races.

Everything is Ephemeral: Haha! With this strength, I refuse to be a part of it! I’ll go against fate and lead the fierce beasts to obliterate the three races!

“You’re dreaming!” players from those three races shouted angrily.

“You’re destined to be swept into the annals of history! You should think about finding a good place to bury yourself!”

Conflicts erupted across the Primordial World.

One after another, savage fierce beasts cruelly killed many beings of the Primordial World, with the strongest three races taking the lead to unite and eradicate the fierce beasts!  At this moment, on a high mountain, countless fierce beasts gathered, summoned by the Beast King for the Great Beast Conference.

The Beast King, with a murderous aura, asked, “The myriad races in the Primordial World plan to unite against us; what are your thoughts?”

Below, each snarling fierce beast began to roar.

“Kill, kill, kill! Let them taste the ferocity of us, the offspring of the Chaos Demon!”

Unexpectedly, a peculiar fierce beast stepped forward, “Your Majesty, let me say a word!”

The Beast King cast him a displeased glance. The atmosphere was charged with excitement; who was causing a ruckus now?

This fierce beast was, of course, Everything is Ephemeral. He spoke up:

“Though we fierce beasts possess great strength, fighting against the myriad races would be like throwing eggs against stone. No matter how strong our clan is, we cannot match the united forces of the myriad races!”

“I believe it’s best to avoid the brunt of their power, first negotiate with some factions, cede part of our primordial lands.

“Then offer up treasures to sow discord among the myriad races, as they harbor ulterior motives!”

“As long as the myriad races are split, we can gradually plot our moves and take them out one by one. Not a single clan in the Primordial World stands a chance against us fierce beasts!”

“When that time comes, the Primordial World’s ruler will be none other than us!”

I must say, as a modern player, Everything is Ephemeral’s thinking is indeed very clear-headed.

However, the will of a fierce beast clan cannot be swayed by just his words. In the blink of an eye, Everything is Ephemeral was expelled from the meeting by the Beast King, standing foolishly at the foot of the mountain.

“Heed the words of the elders, or you’ll suffer losses firsthand!”

Everything is Ephemeral shook his head in disappointment; ultimately, his voice was weak. If only he had the Da Luo strength of the Beast King, would he find himself in this situation?
