In the forest, a streak of light zipped across the sky before landing with a swift whoosh, precisely hitting its target.

    “Obi, your archery talent truly amazes us! In just a few days, you’ve reached such a level!” an old hunter exclaimed.

    Obi smiled slightly, “I’ve shot arrows back in my hometown for a long time, but it just doesn’t feel as great as it does here.”

    “Speaking of archery, the elven race is the strongest in the world. Each one is a born marksman, and their figures and looks—wow!” the hunter marveled.

    “Elves, huh? A weird world,” Obi muttered, pondering if he would someday visit that realm. He couldn’t help but wonder if he could be reborn as an elf.

    In a castle, a skinny young man was kicked out by a guard, scattered blueprints flying around him.

    The young man shook his head, “Sigh, ancient folks really lack vision, they don’t even realize that technology can change fate.”

    He sighed as he got up slowly, meticulously collecting the blueprints. “But everything seems different here; the laws of physics must be altered, so I guess I’ll need to modify whatever I create in this world.”

    Just thinking of how he was just thrown out gave him a headache. The people here couldn’t fathom terrifying weapons that could rival the sun’s brightness.

    They’d rather rely on swordsmanship and magic than consider firearms to be useful.

    “Why use guns? Isn’t a magic wand better? They’re both ranged attacks!”

    He felt lost; this was already the fifteenth place he had visited, with no powerful industry or manpower to assist.

    Even if he was clever and had numerous inventions brewing in his mind, he still couldn’t bring them to life!

    Suddenly, it struck him that in his readings, dwarves were known to love building and forging various artifacts.

    They respected the finest craftsmen in their clan, but dwarves lived at the edge of the Giant Kingdom. Though it was relatively close to the Middle Garden, it was still a considerable distance in this world!

    The thought of such a long journey ahead, the hardships it would entail, and the possibility of crossing two realms made him shiver. But then he cursed himself.

    “Ning Tianjiao! With all that talent, if you don’t use it, you’ll be stuck in this reality forever!”

    “Since I’m not welcomed by the humans in the Middle Garden, why not go to the dwarves to farm and grow? Move the trees, and you unleash new life; besides, this is just a game. Although it may seem realistic, you won’t die—and if successful, there’s massive rewards! Without taking risks, failure is guaranteed!”

    With that thought, Ning Tianjiao, clutching a stack of hard-earned blueprints, confidently headed toward the Giant Kingdom!

    This journey was bound to be rough, but if successful, it could lead to a whole new world! “This Ning Tianjiao is pretty good; he realizes he can’t thrive in the Middle Garden and chooses to develop with the dwarves instead. He’s quite sharp.”

    After watching numerous players’ adventures in different worlds, Jiang Ping thought this young man suited his taste the most, even if he was currently in the worst situation.

    “Genesis, give him a little help so his journey is uneventful. I want to see how he fares when he reaches the Giant Kingdom. Will he manage to carve out a piece for himself among the dwarves?”

    Jiang Ping smiled, finding this twist in the story much more interesting. On a forum, a post had exploded in popularity, just from that player’s earlier message.

    “Brothers, I’m out! A player from the Hill World,”

    Just the title alone made a bunch of people gasp! Why on earth would this player throw away such an opportunity? If you don’t play, don’t take up space!

    Do you realize that the game “All Realms” has become the hottest news worldwide? It’s hailed as the greatest miracle of the 21st century. The hope for eternal life and ascension lies within!

    Countless people rubbed their hands and prepared to ‘educate’ the thoughtless player. Yet when they entered the thread, it turned out to be just another clickbait!

    “Champion of the Generation: To my seven brothers and sisters still in the Middle Garden, I’ve made the decision to leave! The Middle Garden has shown me too much malice; I’m heading to the Giant Kingdom instead! I hope I won’t encounter you all on the battlefield again!”

    “Bibi: Huh? Aren’t the folks from the Middle Garden quite kind? They share knowledge without reservation and taught me the Hill Breathing Technique.”

    I’ve only been in the Middle Garden for a few days, and while I haven’t fully learned everything, I need at least some self-defense to embark on this long path of traversing realms.

    “Don’t be impulsive, brother! It’s a long road ahead! Think this through! Too many players have died without great returns; the producer will get furious! It’s evident the first companion’s accidental demise displeased that powerful figure!”

    “Nine Heavens Immortal: Exactly, my friend! Remember this: even though it’s a game, it’s not a joke! Dying unnecessarily is a waste of a golden opportunity! You don’t want the producer angry at you, or you’ll be a sinner of all humanity!”

    “North Mysterious Rain: Jiutian’s right! To enter the All Realms is no easy task. I’ve been waking up in tears at midnight, often slapping myself! I once had a super powerful figure before me. I didn’t recognize the greatness and let go of the golden leg. Every time I think back, I regret it for a lifetime!”

    Had I known back then that person was so great, I would have chosen to be a shameless sycophant. I could’ve been calling the shots in reality!”

    “Don’t act rashly! You need to apologize to the whole nation!”

    Numerous netizens advised against it. Even a few players from the Primordial World shared their stories, especially Beimei, which moved the listeners to tears.

    No wonder he regrets it for life. It’s said that North Mysterious Rain now spends every day posting on the Primordial forum, flattering the producer. Whenever anyone speaks ill of the producer, he’s sure to battle it out with them just to get back into the Primordial World!

    Of course, many people flood the forums asking the producer for help, but he used to be a player, hence the extra attention he receives.

    “While I should probably advise the Tiangao player, Bibi, didn’t you just expose something? Does the Hill Breathing Technique actually have effects in reality? (excited expression)”

    Many netizens noticed his inadvertent revelation. Researchers from various countries raised their eyebrows. If the player hadn’t said anything, no one would’ve known such a significant event happened!

    Yao Yao: The people from the Middle Garden are quite nice! An uncle took me in as an apprentice and taught me all kinds of sword techniques. Now, I can easily defeat my grandfather in real life.

    As for the Hill Breathing Technique, its effects are very, very slight, so slight that you can only feel a little difference in the lush mountains and forests. It must be the unique real-world environment.

    All origin of the Hill World comes from the World Tree, so under the canopy of many plants, using this technique feels a bit different. (Or so I think.)”

    Spending Addict: Another powerhouse has come to speak! Can we have the Hill Breathing Method released? Maybe some people have exceptional talents and will find it more effective?”

    When I played in the Primordial World, all the cultivation breathing methods were innate, having no effect in reality—they were completely different disciplines.
