Villain Cultivator

Chapter 725 – Danger Ahead

"Oh, you're here, too? Wait a second. Sima Yi, how old are you now?"

Before the great reset, Sima Yi was still a teenager. But currently, Sima Yi seemed to be in his late 30s, and he grew a goatee.

"38, actually. I'm surprised that I was born earlier than you, my lord."

Miaomiao sized up Sima Yi. He was now a 9th-stage cultivator like Mao Shan and Mao Handan!

"You're stronger than before. Are you an elder of this sect now?"

"Haha, actually, I'm just a guest elder because of my cultivation base and my mediocre abilities."

"I guess you're doing well in this life."

"Nobunaga is very helpful. He memorized everything he had learned before the reset, but I could only remember 90% of it. We picked the Chaos Yang cultivation method and Death Fortress Sword Style as a base. They worked very well. It's a pity that we don't have a dantian universe since my new body is too weak."

"What? You mastered that sword style?"

"It took us 30 years to master one-word formation and the basic sword style, though. We still have a long way to go."

Sima Yi and Miaomiao laughed and chatted, attracting the other disciples' attention. The players could also see them from afar.

While Miaomiao and Sima Yi were chatting, one of the overseeing elders came to see them.

"I didn't know that you were acquaintances, Young Master Mao."

"We met a long time ago, a very long time ago," Both Sima Yi and Miaomiao snickered.

"By the way, the new round will begin after the sun rises. Would you like us to provide you with some recovery pills and a place to rest?"

Miaomiao waved his hands, "Nah, I'm good. I don't eat pills anymore. It's bad for my physique."

"I-I see. Then, how about we bring you to our sect's resting quarter so that you can recuperate. You have been helping the candidates, and you must have used so many life-saving treasures. You must have been exhausted."

"No need. Just treat me like a pebble or something. I don't want the VIP treatment."

"If you say so."

Despite Miaomiao's attempt to be low-key, he was already the center of attention of all players and local cultivators. The local people admired his selflessness and saint-like demeanor while the players saw him as a major NPC of this game.

.

The night slowly passed as the local cultivators rested for the day.

Although the game world welcomed the slow tranquil night, the gamers in the real world were in an uproar. All players from the second world posted various clips of the sect's second round of examination event, where all participants became insane within five minutes.

Chase got the spotlight as he was the only player that survived this round. On the other hand, top players tried their luck and died due to blood loss and insanity debuff.

Then, the angel that had been monopolizing the top scoreboard scattered strange water that healed all NPCs to full health. Tang Ting, who was also another big shot, chatted with Miaomiao for a moment before she assisted him.

Gamers speculated that they had a close relationship or they might be couples. Many fan girls of Miaomiao screamed in joy while haters and virgin gamers dropped trolling comments and dissed them.

Because of the active story in the second world, a million players from the first world and third world switched to this realm at the cost of their NFT characters, causing the PACT token price to increase for short time.

​ As new players caused a scene, game investors began eyeing the second world. They contacted the game company, hoping to get a backdoor deal.

Because of the uproar, Pangu noticed the commotion.

.

Pangu Universe Incorporate

Pan Xian, aka Pangu's true soul, had been monitoring the second world ever since the game was launched. It was the only world that he had barely any power to control.

So far, Pan Xian gained the first world and the third world's authority through Nian, who had been born on the first day that the new universe was established. Currently, Nian was the God of Pangu Church's apostles, and he had been controlling all three game worlds as a proxy of Pangu.

Unfortunately, Mu-Nyang Worshipers reigned supreme in the second world as the cat had planted several Chaos Demon Gods and Chaos Demon Goddesses in this world. Although he also deployed many Chaos Demon Goddesses to the other worlds, their influence was minuscule as Pangu already gave the players and the local people the impression that Chaos Demon God's worshipers were the villains.

Pan Mei, the survived beta tester and the son of Pan Xian, was also by his father's side. His facial color was pale when he saw the live feed from his computer monitor.

The screen displayed the current stats of Miaomiao, which were many times higher than standard cultivators at the same level.

He even had higher Qi and Luck than the universe's protagonists!

"Mu-Nyang's minions are taking over the second world. At this rate, Mao Miaomiao will suppress every player within a year, and nobody can do anything to him!"

Pan Xian snorted, "Everything is still within my calculation. Hiiro Narukami is gaining ground in the first world, and he will soon inherit Nian's bloodline and legacy. The third world is slowly shifting toward us since we've managed to frame Chaos Demon Gods as antagonists of the game story. When the game world and the earth integrate, Earth's humans will treat Mu-Nyang and the invaders as the villains, and they will join us."

"Will the players be reliable?"

"All human in this world was born with an inactive Heavenly Fate Fragment! They all have the potential to become protagonists, but they don't know the conditions to trigger them! We will give them the stimulation to trigger those fragments and kill Mu-Nyang with their help!"

"W-Wow! Do I have one, too?"

"Mu-Nyang already devoured yours when you died in the beta test. Sorry, son."

Pan Mei was dejected. He changed the subject, "What if Mao Miaomiao and his allies conquer the second world and invade the earth before our players transform?"

"That is impossible," Pan Xian smirked. "Who do you think I deploy there?"

"Oh?"

Pan Xian typed a few keys on the keyboard, and the monitor changed. It showed the scene of a ruined city, which was located on the opposite side of the second world.

The ancient ruin was infested with tall mushrooms, plants, and inhuman beings. Fungus spores and red swarms surrounded this place, acting as a moat around the sacred city.

Floating temples and buildings glowed in golden light. A massive golden mushroom at the center of the ruin continued to produce toxic spores and plagued every living being in this ruin.

In one of the temples, a handsome Oni had been sitting cross-legged, meditating by himself. Many lizardmen with mushrooms growing from their skins stood still, watching over their lord.

The Oni sensed that someone was watching him. He slowly opened his eyes.

DING

<Pangu wonders if you're ready for some action.>

The Oni heard the game system's sound. He slowly opened his eyes.

Kishin Douji, the former Oni God of the previous universe, was now the ruler of this forsaken ruin.

"What can I do for you, my lord?"

<Mao Miaomiao and Mu-Nyang are slowly taking over your world. It's time to mobilize your army and teach them a lesson. If possible, kill Mao Miaomiao and his allies! Leave none alive!>

<Invade Wu Dynasty Empire! Destroy everything!>

Receiving a new quest, Kishin Douji's eyes gleamed. He rose up, revealing his true height of 10 meters.

The towering height and the massive physique of Kishin Douji terrified the lizardmen, who were merely 3 meters tall. They bowed toward their liege and made way for him.

Kishin Douji walked outside of the temple. As soon as he got out, 500,000 lizardmen and 500,000 flying mushroom monsters gathered. They all bowed to the Oni God.

Kishin unsheathed his gigantic Odachi, which matched his size.

"SUMMON ALL ORCS, ONIS, GOBLINS, AND ASURAS! WE GO TO WAR! OUR TARGET IS WU DYNASTY EMPIRE!"

All monsters howled and their sound caused an earthquake.
