"Guess what I've seen?"
"The ga has really invaded reality!"
"Is the end of the world coming?"
"What kind of entity is the ga company?"
"I've been saying that the ga is uncontrollable, and it's finally brought disaster to humanity!"
...
Lin Bai and the others had only been in reality for half an hour, and the ga forums exploded with posts.
During the Heavenly Tribulation, Tuohai and others' live stream dominated for nearly three months. Everyone could readily recall their faces. In reality, they were even more famous than celebrities.
A group like this, brazenly flying in the sky, was recognized almost instantly.
Almost everyone in the modern world has a smartphone.
Characters from the ga appearing in the real world, openly using the Wind Riding Art in broad daylight above the city, was bound to cause an uproar.
No one would be stupid enough to think that the people in the sky were cosplaying. No matter how convincing the cosplay, it's useless if they can't fly!
The Wind Riding Art is not sothing that can be achieved by simply dangling a few steel wires. Most importantly, players from the ga like Far-Sighted Hawk have also entered reality. Only a fool would cosplay them…
...
In the past, any information that might disrupt social stability, even if posted on social forums, wouldn't last very long. It would be dismissed by officials as filming, special effects, or so other excuse.
But once ga forums appeared, everyone found out that even the most exaggerated posts would not be deleted.
As a result, people quickly moved to the ga forums, freely expressing their own opinions.
However, the current hot topic is the Immortal World ga. Other categories of posts wouldn't cause much turmoil...
...
"After verification, the photos and videos are real. We're indeed being invaded by the ga world."
"A few months ago, we were sympathizing with the NPCs in the ga. Now, we've beco the NPCs, having to endure the crush of a superior civilization."
"This is so absurd."
"We differ from the NPCs in the ga. We have advanced weapons. Regardless of whether they're in the Great Cheng Realm or Crossing Tribulation Realm, a nuclear bomb would reduce them all to ashes."
"But if they turn to ashes, we're done for too."
"No need for nuclear bombs; they cannot withstand concentrated firepower. If they really disrupt society, we will show them that justice lies within the caliber."
"Cultivators aren't the scary part. Have you considered Lin Bai? If Lin Bai ca along, what should we do? After his decapitation stunt earlier, he's unlikely to die that easily."
"A shout from Lin Bai could kill a whole city!"
"He doesn't even need to shout. The Separation of Love could throw everyone to their deaths."
"We don't need the Separation of Love. Phoenix Seeks Phoenix could make all the n dance until they die. Who can dance for seven days without food or drink?"
"Seems like we must strike first."
"Strike first? Isn't that Lin Bai's signature move? Without Lin Bai, how could Tuohai and his gang have co to our world so quickly?"
"This is fucking absurd. Previously, I was protesting about ga characters Body Snatching. Now Lin Bai brings their real bodies over. What exactly does the ga company want to do?"
"Where can I buy a parachute?"
"What I want to know now is, why can they fly? Isn't it said that our world has no Spiritual Energy? How can these Cultivators fly?"
"Better to find shelter in an air-raid shelter than searching for a parachute. Lin Bai can't possibly use his Skills if he can't see people, can he?"
"Why do you all insist on seeing Lin Bai as an enemy? He's clearly a good guy!"
"A good guy? Who dares to bet? With no one to check him, his aspirations will swell. If I had Lin Bai's power, I would also want to unify the world."
"Are we going to be enslaved?"
"The official reaction is too slow."
"You can't say that the officials are slow, just that Lin Bai's actions are unpredictable. He was clearly heading for the Fairy World; no one could have guessed he'd suddenly return to reality!"
"You all stop talking nonsense. Brother Lin Bai must have co for peace."
"Given Lin Bai's Skills, does anyone have any good counterasures? It won't hurt to gather ideas; perhaps when the war starts, it could save so of us."
"Even if there are thods, we can't discuss them here. Lin Bai has body-snatched Players; the forum is no longer a secret to him."
"Isn't the most terrifying thing that Players are also coming out of the ga? They have Undying Bodies!"
"Damn collaborators..."
"We should protest at the ga company again; they must plug this loophole. The ga world invading reality is terrifying."
"The ga company won't respond. They still haven't addressed the Body Snatching issue. Besides, the other side isn't a ga. Maybe the ga company is just a warmonger."
...
「anwhile.」
The forums of "Land of Gods and Demons" also received the news synchronously.
"Are you kidding? Why would people from the ga appear in the real world?"
"Aren't we and the Easterners playing the sa ga?"
"It hasn't been the sa ga from the start. They call it Immortal World; we call it Land of Gods and Demons."
"I can't imagine what it would look like if a Wizard ca to reality."
"Why doesn't our ga have soone like Lin Bai? He single-handedly changed the course of the ga. Without soone like him, our ga lacks the thrilling plot twists of the Eastern version."
"But Lin Bai also brought disaster and monsters to the world."
"The Immortal World of the East is much more interesting than our ga."
"I really hope my Holy Knight teacher can return to the real world with . He's a good person and would definitely be shocked by the advanced technology in the real world..."
"Don't you think that if the Easterners get help from the ga characters, it will be detrintal to us? The Eastern Cultivators are a group of supern."
"I want to enter the ga and ask the great Grand Mage how to travel through ti and space to co to the real world. I want to use their power to resist the Eastern Cultivators."
"Eastern Cultivators can seize bodies, but we also have soul-researching necromancy here. Perhaps the Great Witch can co to reality through a body in the ga."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing magic in the real world."
"If Angels descend, those Believers would definitely go crazy with joy!"
"I want to buy a ticket to the Eastern world. The ga characters ca to reality through Lin Bai's Magpie Bridge, and I also want to enter the ga through the Magpie Bridge. I might be able to return to 'Land of Gods and Demons' by detouring through the East's 'Immortal World'..."
"That's impossible. The Angels in 'Land of Gods and Demons' have never heard of Eastern Cultivators. Our ga and their ga are not on the sa server."
"There's no such thing as a server. Isn't what's happening in the Eastern world enough to prove that it's the real world over there?"
"No matter what, I want to go to the East. If I can't learn magic, I'll take the Eastern Cultivators as my teachers, learn their Immortal Techniques, and then return to the real world through the Magpie Bridge. I will be a superman."
"You bunch of idiots, the end of the world is coming. We should prepare for war."
...
The response of the Western Continent's countries was nothing if not swift. Upon confirming that people from the ga world had arrived in reality, they imdiately escalated the event to a global first-level alert.
They imdiately communicated with the Tian Tang country, demanding they share all information on the ga world and requested to participate in negotiations between Tian Tang and Lin Bai.
Furthermore, the fleets of various Western Continent nations quickly assembled and secured their coastlines, determined to keep the invasion confined to the Eastern Continent...
All ga information about Lin Bai and "Immortal World" was sent to the desk of the President of the West Continent United States. His advisory team urgently discussed counterasures and was ready to go to war with the ga world at any mont...
...
By connecting the two realms, Lin Bai caught everyone off guard, causing headaches for all involved.
...
The world is vast and has all sorts of people.
The real world has not experienced a war between gods and demons and has a population much larger than that of the ga world.
Plus, with the internet, news travels at light speed.
Soon, positive and negative emotions began flooding Lin Bai's mind.
In just a while, the Spirit Fruits and Temperant Fruits that he had exhausted during the Heavenly Tribulation were replenished, even surpassing previous levels.
Lin Bai's fa was like the midday sun.
Just as there were people who hated Lin Bai, there were those who loved him.
[Top Star: You possess over fifty million fans; Reward: Advanced Idol Halo (When they are with you, your fans' all-around attributes increase by fifty percent)]
[Superstar: Recognition from the world; Reward: Idol's Heart]
「Not long after.」
The task recently posted by the Idol System was declared completed.
The reward for the new mission given by the Idol System was also a body part, which further confird Lin Bai's suspicion that the System was trying to use him for revival.
Previously, he had tried various ways to activate the System. Now, with more and more resources at his disposal, Lin Bai had to consider his own future.
If he could avoid activating a new system, he would.
...
Lin Si Bai monitored the ga world forums, Lin Wu Bai kept an eye on real-world news, and Lin Bai remained up-to-date through Players' conversations.
The world virtually had no secrets from him.
Xu Longyun, Tuohai, and others absorbed information about the real world like sponges, full of admiration for its technological developnt.
Their estate had been put under martial law when Tuohai and the others were exposed.
Outside the cordon, layers upon layers of bystanders and journalists gathered, everyone full of curiosity about Lin Bai and the others who had arrived in reality.
However, they were strictly kept outside.
Lin Bai was not worried that Cheng Xunyun and his allies might suddenly turn on them.
The city they were in was a tropolis with a population of tens of millions. How would civilians cope if large-scale weaponry was used?
If they were sure they could kill him, then so be it. But what if they couldn't? Would they drag a city with a population of tens of millions down with him? Probably no one would be willing to shoulder such responsibility.
After all, reality is not a movie where cities are massacred at the drop of a hat.
And civilians are not cannon fodder either…
Cheng Xunyun arrived at dusk. Seeing Lin Bai, his face turned ashen, and he was entirely on the edge of fury.
"Director Cheng, please forgive my uninvited arrival," Lin Bai said, smiling as he greeted Cheng Xunyun.
"Hmph!" Cheng Xunyun snorted, but the corners of his mouth unwillingly twitched into a slight smile. "Alliance Hierarch Lin, do you have any idea how much trouble your willfulness has caused the world?"
Seeing Lin Bai in reality filled Cheng Xunyun with shock. He had seen Zheng Tong and Cai Jia, but they had been body-snatched by Lin Bai, showing no outward changes.
However, Lin Bai was completely different, radiant in his original form, so unlike what one would see in videos.
He was just standing there, giving off an otherworldly vibe, making others feel inferior and causing them to think he was an immortal descended to earth. Any idea of opposing him felt highly disrespectful.
"Director Cheng, no need to panic. I never had any plans to make enemies with anyone." Lin Bai took a bottle of red wine from the table, poured a glass for Cheng Xunyun, and casually tossed a Spirit Fruit into it. He handed it over and said, "You must be tired from your journey, Director Cheng. Perhaps a drink will restore your energy. Rashness can lead to poor decisions."
Having previously consud a Spirit Fruit, Cheng Xunyun knew what Lin Bai had put into the wine. If Lin Bai wanted to harm him, it wouldn't be this troubleso.
Watching the Spirit Fruit dissolve instantly in the wine, he took the glass and drained it in one gulp.
As the red wine slid down his throat, the fatigue and irritability from the journey instantly vanished.
He looked at Lin Bai with a complex expression, suddenly at a loss for words.
"Director Cheng, the Immortal World is full of natural treasures. Only via the Magpie Bridge can they be transported out," Lin Bai shook his head. "I am a peace-loving person. You all are just too cautious."
"Alliance Hierarch Lin, to my knowledge, all the wars in the ga world were initiated by you, weren't they?" Cheng Xunyun asked, cutting to the chase. Since Lin Bai possessed the Truth-telling Technique, he couldn't be bothered with beating around the bush.
"You're correct, I instigated all the wars. But I didn't harm anyone in any real sense." Lin Bai poured himself a glass of wine too. "I established the Justice League, but Patriarch Yan Qing and the others are still managing their own Sects. The royal families of Taiyi, Taichu, and other nations still sit on their thrones, and I never interfered with them. If you must say that I have influenced the world in any way, it would be only to improve it."
Patriarch Yan Qing and the others fell silent. They knew Lin Bai was stretching the truth, but if given another chance, they would absolutely surrender to Lin Bai imdiately, without any nonsense.
The people of the Player world are still too naive. Even with the cautionary tales of those before them, they still delude themselves into thinking they can oppose Lin Bai—how childish!
"..." Cheng Xunyun said, "Many people have died by your hands."
"To achieve greatness, sacrifices must be made." Lin Bai shook his head. "Director Cheng, I am not a saint. Moreover, after the wars, I used my Butterfly Transformation Technique to give them new lives, and I plan to resurrect everyone after achieving the Heavenly Dao."
Cheng Xunyun was stunned.
"Director Cheng, why do you insist on seeing as an enemy?" Lin Bai looked at Cheng Xunyun. "I know you possess weapons capable of destroying the world. But if I truly wanted to destroy your world, I wouldn't need to co here personally, or even use Body Snatching. Just sending over a few hundred heads and using a Sonic Attack would make your world cease to exist. Your weapons of mass destruction can only destroy yourselves; they couldn't harm ."
Cheng Xunyun opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
Lin Bai continued, "Perhaps I wouldn't even need to send any heads over. Just sending Patriarch Yan Qing and the others, along with hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, would be more than enough to cause you serious trouble!"
Tiny beads of sweat appeared on Cheng Xunyun's forehead.
"Taking it a step further," Lin Bai said, his voice neither fast nor slow, almost devoid of inflection, yet it pierced right to the heart, "even if Patriarch Yan Qing and his people don't co over, what if I send back hundreds of thousands of undying Players? If they do nothing but quietly cause a ruckus, it wouldn't take long for your world to turn into a wasteland, would it? You told Lin Wu Bai that everyone in your world thinks differently. Do you really believe that such a group of undying Players, who have also learned Skills in the Immortal World, would willingly be controlled by you? The human heart is the most complex thing!"
[Resentnt from Far Vision Eagle, Like the Midday Sun, and others; 1 1 1...]
They looked at Lin Bai in terror.
Previously, they thought Lin Bai would threaten Cheng Xunyun, but they hadn't expected to be implicated themselves.
This is a negotiation, why slander us! How are we supposedly going to destroy the world? Damn it...
Lin Bai ignored them and looked at Cheng Xunyun, continuing, "Even if they were willing to be controlled by you, would you be at ease? If you are, would the countries in the Western Continent accept their existence? If things develop to that point, it would likely be endless war. Your world would ultimately be destroyed by your own hands, wouldn't it?"
Several Players looked at Lin Bai as if he were a devil.
Cheng Xunyun was drenched in sweat.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, what Lin Bai said was the truth. Lin Bai didn't even need to act; he had ten thousand ways to destroy their world.
