Chapter 76: Entry Ticket to the Multiverse!

In the video, dragons roared and tigers…

No, it was the Dragons spewing forth raging flames as towering Giants brandished wooden clubs, challenging the gods above.

Under the leadership of the God King, the gods wielded their respective artifacts, unleashing world-destroying spells that shattered the earth, creating countless bizarre and fantastic sights!

Fantasy races like Tree Spirits and Dwarves flitted through the chaos, adding their unique flair.

Watching this twenty-minute-long film, netizens were left in awe. How could the special effects look so real? So good? It felt like it was actually happening, and did they really spend so much on those effects? Despite knowing deep down that this game has serious issues, everyone couldn’t help but mock it!

Once again, a craze erupted online. Ranked at the top of Weibo and with various search rankings, ‘The Multiverse: World Tree’ surged rapidly, gaining an explosive following! Overseas netizens howled in excitement; they adored this Western fantasy theme and couldn’t wait to dive into this epic war of the gods! ‘Honestly, this game’s promotional video blew me away. I just wonder when it was filmed; this should have been a real battle, right? (hopefully not asking for trouble)’

‘It’s a fantasy theme this time—I love it! But isn’t this a battle between the gods and giants? The other fantasy races seem to just be support characters. Where are the humans? Haven’t they been created yet?’

‘You up there didn’t see correctly. I saved that video and watched it over ten times. Finally, I found where the humans are! There’s only one shot, at 15 minutes and 25 seconds—hiding behind a massive rock and watching secretly! (screenshot)’

‘You didn’t mention it, and I honestly wouldn’t have noticed. Why do humans look so slimy? Especially while other races are in full-blown combat!’

‘You just don’t get it, do you? This is the essence of quietly developing! Look behind them; blood is flowing, and divine blood has soaked the earth while giant corpses litter the mountains! The Dragons, already hard to reproduce, and many other powerful races have lost plenty, but the humans remain unharmed! It seems like an opportunity for humanity to rise!’

‘Game developers, just tell me how much it costs; I’m off to save the World Tree! I want to lead humanity to rise and become a hero!’

‘Look at your little ambitions. Do you think such flattery will catch the developer’s attention? If I’m fortunate enough to enter this game world, I will level up steadily and unite the Giants to conquer the divine realm!’

‘Let’s sweep the gods into the rubbish heap of history, making humanity the protagonists of this world! What do you think, my dear developer? Isn’t my vision splendid? Give me a chance, and I’ll reshape everything! Let’s raise the crimson banner in another world!’

Numerous netizens transformed into eager fans, trying to catch the developer’s eye to be selected as players.

In the first game, ‘The Multiverse: Primordial Dawn,’ players could easily earn money once they entered. Who knows how many factions would throw an olive branch your way?

If luck is on your side, you might even bring extraordinary powers from the game back to reality!

This unspoken chance sparked envy and jealousy in countless hearts, and many from various countries pinned their hopes directly on message boards seeking spots!

Who wouldn’t envy such extraordinary opportunities? The allure of world-destroying power and the temptation of immortality drove everyone wild! The last chance wasn’t seized well enough, and with the second game going live, everyone was fighting tooth and nail for a spot! The cultivation methods in the Primordial World were still rough, relying heavily on instinct to absorb spiritual energy. Some players even failed to cultivate any Qi in reality, not to mention trying to pass gas!

Though some speculated that once someone achieves sainthood in the Primordial World, the highest-level cultivation methods might yield results.

Now, in the magical world, with gods looking down from above, perhaps they could find methods of cultivation within this World Tree game? Even though the environment on Earth is far inferior to these extraordinary worlds, the mysterious spiritual energy and magical power here might be just a faint trace—no supportive magical items for cultivation here either.

But if one could truly discover a method of cultivation, perhaps using modern technology for detailed study could lead to brilliant results in reality!

Currently, the game ‘The Multiverse’ has been classified as a major focus by various institutions. Any stirrings will be detected immediately. It’s being hailed as the seed that could change humanity and the world.

A top scholar even trembled as he asserted, ‘Immortality is no longer a dream, just within the game!’. This statement stirred the hearts of countless influential figures. After all, no matter how brilliant you are, you too may end up as a mere skeleton! Or even if you are a talent with vast resources, you will eventually return to dust! And now, immortality is no longer just a dream! Many wealthy individuals openly declared that if a player could bring back life-extending elixirs or similar items, they’d buy them at any price without flinching.

The online discussions about the new game boiled with excitement, with various notable posts getting pinned to the homepage. Everyone was flipping through them, trying to get a spot.

With that unapproachable deity often ignoring everyone, this seemed the only way to attract the developer’s attention.

Outside, currents stirred beneath the surface, and Jiang Ping was keenly aware but just smiled at it all.

Truthfully, nothing from the outside world intrigued him; wisdom was what truly brought him help.

‘Last time the player selection method was a bit too simple.’

Jiang Ping pondered how to select high-quality players this time.

The last batch of players was inadequate. He spoke honestly; they truly sucked!

‘They couldn’t do a thing, always bragging! After taking such a huge hit this time, Jiang Ping felt the quality mattered more than quantity; a strong individual could outweigh a hundred average ones, conserving his resources! Let’s do something straightforward—make a test paper to gauge everyone’s abilities.’

Even though Jiang Ping hated exams while studying, he had to admit that it was indeed a good way to understand everyone’s level.

Now, with his enhanced mental strength, Jiang Ping was far more agile, and soon the test paper was complete, ending with a major question.

He instructed every netizen to write how they would act if they found themselves in a different world. To avoid having a bunch of braggarts, Jiang Ping set measures to perceive the true abilities and authenticity of the answers.

Clapping his hands, Jiang Ping uploaded ‘The Multiverse Test Paper’.

This stirred up a huge wave of excitement as the eagerly waiting netizens finally received the official notification! Wait, they had to take an exam for the game?

Haha, it’s genius! No longer reliant on luck; answering questions will be a fair shot even if it ends tragically! ‘Let me see what this exam entails!’

Netizens quickly clicked to download ‘Entry Ticket to the Multiverse’, a straightforward title! Just like the developer’s previously simple and crude style, everyone was unfazed; it was typical of this big shot to shove secrets right in their faces without any subtlety.

The paper contained numerous questions, mostly asking players about their plans upon entering this alternate world and what skills or ideas they possessed.

The final question received the highest marks, and the exam reminded everyone to answer truthfully—any falsehoods could have consequences.

Recalling the unpredictable methods of the game developer, many felt a shiver down their spine and didn’t dare to speak carelessly.

Yet a few wondered if he could really reach across the internet to strike them?

As long as they wrote a brilliant answer on the paper, scoring high could change their entire lives! The exam also reminded that the top ten scorers would win entry tickets to the ‘The Multiverse: World Tree’! Others shouldn’t lose heart; answering well to showcase their wisdom would still allow them a chance for a stunning revelation!
