Chapter 71: This Generation of Players Can’t Cut It!

In a quaint village home, Jiang Ping reviewed the spoils from the Great Calamity. As he took stock of the points, laughter bubbled up from him. Previously, his meager Original Points had been nearly exhausted in his attempts to construct the two-world passage.

During the Longhan Great Calamity, countless beings perished—Yuan Feng, Shi Qilin, the Yin-Yang Daoist, and Qian Kun Old Ancestor—all powerful figures among the Da Luo Golden Immortals. The energy they left behind hinted that Genesis was on the brink of an upgrade!

Genesis shimmered with countless lights, and the ethereal shadows of formidable powerhouses manifested on its pages. Laws swirled chaotically, blending reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, and purples, illuminating Genesis.

Jiang Ping watched in tension as Genesis evolved. After a long while, calm returned. The myriad paths converged back into Genesis, handing him a seemingly ordinary black book.

With a hint of regret, Jiang Ping murmured, “Just a bit more and Genesis would be ready to upgrade. The Primordial World is facing another calamity, and Genesis should be almost there.”

Yet again, Genesis did not upgrade, and Jiang Ping felt a mix of excitement and anticipation for the upgraded version.

He opened the pages to find: Original Points: 600!

The Original World, which had existed for millions of years, had collapsed, yielding just 1000 points in return, while the Primordial World had reaped so much from just one Longhan Great Calamity! Jiang Ping couldn’t help but chuckle.

With these points, Jiang Ping could indulge once more! However, he used the Original Points cautiously each time, knowing they were the foundation of his path to immortality.

Not only that, the feedback energy and laws were now being refined through Genesis, continuously flooding into Jiang Ping’s body. With every second, he could feel himself growing stronger.

He decided to sit cross-legged. If someone could see him now, they would notice Jiang Ping floating in mid-air, unknowable threads of energy being drawn into him. In his mind, a diminutive, adorable figure was lost in the influx of Dao insights.

The three thousand laws—Creation, Rebirth, the Union of Yin and Yang—wrapped around his Nascent Soul, intoxicating him like a drunkard, swaying unsteadily.

After a considerable time, Jiang Ping opened his eyes, brilliant light shooting from his gaze. With a swift wave of his hand, a lotus flower appeared, blooming and fading in a mere moment.

He focused on the table, channeling his immense mental energy. The hefty table, weighing over forty kilograms, shook and began to rise. Jiang Ping couldn’t help but laugh. What young person never dreamed of becoming an immortal? After some playful maneuvering, he settled back down, summoning a divine spirit from his mind. Jiang Ping’s spirit traversed the void, immune to physical laws.

Effortlessly breaking free of Earth’s gravity, he soared past layers of clouds, a magnificent, dazzling blue planet lay before him. Having witnessed the rise and fall of realms, he was captivated by Earth’s beauty and grandeur.

Fish leap in the sea, flowers bloom on the other shore.

Without breaking free from the grip of gravity, he would never witness such a marvelous sight again.

The birth and decay of small worlds are awe-inspiring, yet Earth remains special to Jiang Ping as his home planet.

“After acquiring Genesis for twenty days, I’ve finally taken my first step!” Jiang Ping couldn’t help but reflect.

The starry sky dazzled above, countless massive stars reflecting in Jiang Ping’s mind, drawing him in with its beauty.

How vast is the universe? No one can truly articulate its size.

Earth resides in the solar system, with the sun comprising 99.8% of its mass. The solar system is only a minor star system amidst the Milky Way galaxy.

In the vastness of the universe, there are countless galaxies like the Milky Way, teeming with trillions of stars. Earth’s significance in the cosmos is negligible, just a grain in the vast ocean. As an individual, one is like a cell, looking up at the sky, Jiang Ping felt the utter vastness of the universe.

He had merely taken the first step of a long journey,just beginning to break free from the confines of his home planet.

Jiang Ping sensed an incoming Destroyer Star heading towards Earth, with no resistance he could muster against such a cataclysm.

Even if he barely escaped to the void, the endless emptiness would ensnare him. Without any energy to sustain him, he would still face a slow, lonely demise.

As he wandered through the void, Jiang Ping’s heart gradually sank. The universe was just too grand! It dwarfed his own little world countless times over. No wonder Yang Mei, Hongjun, and others referred to the third dimension as the only true realm.

Having broken free from Earth’s protection, the cold winds blew from the outer realms. Jiang Ping’s spirit shivered; he dared not linger on this path and hastily descended like a shooting star.

His spirit moved at an incredible speed, and with his mastery of various legendary evasion techniques, he returned to his true form in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ping opened his eyes, sparkling stardust reflecting in his gaze. This time, his exploration of the void yielded results as significant as creating a new world.

“It’s time to write an announcement for ‘All Realms: Primordial World.'”

Jiang Ping set this task aside for now, as inventorying his spoils was paramount! As for the millions of anxious netizens waiting eagerly, they were always placed at the bottom of his priorities. What could he do? That’s just how it went for a game producer and planner.

Soon, an announcement appeared in the section for ‘All Realms: Primordial World.’

Announcement: The first test of the Primordial Game has concluded, and the producer expressed disappointment in many players for not cherishing the opportunity.

Some focused solely on fooling around in the Primordial World, neglecting the ecological environment of the realm.

Although this is a game, it’s not just child’s play.

Among so many players, only ‘Isn’t Floating Cloud’ managed to succeed. There won’t be any more free chances in the future.

After all, running an actual game requires capital. This massive update aims to fix the issue of this generation of players not performing well, along with reopening the game.

In ‘All Realms: Primordial World,’ three individuals became Saints, ushering in an era of Sage rule.

Should any player achieve enlightenment to become a Saint in the game, immortality could be within reach, and the path to cultivation would be opened.

Looking forward to the subsequent performance of players; a new game is also in development, so stay tuned!

—Producer: Shen. Millions of people are watching this game every second. It’s not just players from Huaxia; internet users from other countries have also climbed the wall to watch. Have you ever seen a game with different time flow compared to reality?

Have you heard of a hundred percent immersive virtual game? A game that allows players to obtain powers in reality? Right now, ‘All Realms: Primordial World’ has become global headline news. Any slight change draws countless onlookers.

Especially for those hidden backgrounds, they’re particularly anxious.

Earlier, four players mentioned the upcoming major update. Shortly thereafter, an announcement was finally released, but after waiting for a long time, the information was sparse—truthfully, nothing substantial emerged until now.

At that moment, upon seeing the announcement, the crowd erupted.

First, there were the usual jabs at the game producer. Even though they knew this game was extraordinary, and the producer might genuinely be a god, the netizens couldn’t help but vent.

“Did you see? This generation of players can’t cut it! First-test players and now the second batch. You’ve disappointed the producer way too much!”

“Dragon Shao, Dark Loli, Ji Lao Jiang, come take your beating!”

Dragon Shao and Little Loli received a chorus of mockery. They protested, “At least we’re still alive! Many players died without even knowing how!”

Especially first-test players could respawn continuously. Why was there not a single outstanding figure?

Ji Lao Jiang was warmly addressed by netizens, noting that although he was a first-test player who survived the longest, he didn’t create any names for himself—he just acted as a glorified transport for some unknown female immortal.

Ji Lao Jiang weakly replied that he intended to seek the Chaos Bell to elevate to the Heavenly Emperor but had encountered an accident instead.

Netizens swiftly sent Ji Lao Jiang back to his hole.

Some also noted the game might shut down indefinitely; after all, the reopening time for the massive update is currently unconfirmed!

In an instant, everyone lashed out at the players who ventured into the Primordial World.

“Look at your performance! If I entered the Primordial World, I’d battle the Ancestral Dragon and Hongjun! Watch me tear apart the Chaos and forge my own martial path!”

Keyboard warriors began boasting; in truth, every player entering the Primordial World harbored similar thoughts.

However, only by truly engaging with the extraordinary world do you learn just how hard things really are. No one is merely a fool!

As news of the indefinite game shutdown spread, both the remaining four players and the numerous others itching to pounce on their next chance felt a chill in their hearts.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. After the game is reopened, there won’t be any free slots!
