231: Cooperate with benevolent disaster-stricken beings!
Su Fei asked indifferently.
She was inviting Chu Changge to do something big with her!
Chu Changge could not see through this person, Su Fei.
If this person really was the so-called Good Intentions of the Calamity Master, the other half, then she must have lived for a very long time.
How could he, a person who hadn't even reached a hundred years of age across two lifetimes, see through the thoughts of such Old Monsters?
As Chu Changge hesitated, a Heavens Mandate Choice panel appeared before him.
[Ding! Detected Host's current experience, triggering Heavens Mandate Choice!]
[Option 1: Agree to cooperate with Su Fei, the Benevolent Calamity Master, to jointly oppose the Malevolent Calamity Master. Reward: cultivation Realm increased by one level!]
[Option 2: Refuse to cooperate with Su Fei, the Benevolent Calamity Master. Reward: cultivation Realm increased by one level!]
[Please choose...]
Chu Changge looked at the panel before him and fell into deep thought.
Even the System said the person before him was the Benevolent Calamity Master, so it shouldn't be wrong.
But whether he refused or agreed, the reward was the same.
This truly put Chu Changge in a difficult position.
In the past, when these choices were difficult, he could judge whether a choice was dangerous based on the richness of the rewards.
But that wouldn't work now.
However... he had already made an enemy of the Malevolent Calamity Master, so it seemed his only option was to cooperate with the Benevolent Calamity Master before him.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Changge was still in no hurry to make a choice.
He asked, "Senior, since you both use the method of summoning the fourth calamity, how can this Junior be sure that you are different from the Malevolent Calamity Master?"
"After all, this Junior has already witnessed the power of the fourth calamity!"
Hearing this, the Benevolent Calamity Master understood Chu Changge's concern.
If the fourth calamity cannot be killed in their own world and have their original bodies destroyed, then as long as there is enough energy, they can keep resurrecting.
Long ago, when powerful experts went to conquer various space-times, they relied on the fourth calamity.
However, once the fourth calamity develops to a certain scale, there are also disadvantages.
If the development of the fourth calamity cannot be controlled, they can even cause the destruction of their own Universe.
The Benevolent Calamity Master said, "Based on the fact that this seat did not attack you, and that this seat has been suppressing the development of the fourth calamity, you can see that this seat is different from the Malevolent Calamity Master!"
Hearing this, Chu Changge thought back.
It seemed that initially, the number of resurrections for the players on the Sword Emperor Dao Domain's side was far fewer than that of the 'players' in the Demon Dao Domain.
Besides deducting experience, it seemed that the players in the Sword Emperor Dao Domain also needed some kind of item to resurrect?
Whereas the players in the Demon Dao Domain didn't need that; as long as they had experience, they could keep resurrecting.
This was perhaps the suppression the Benevolent Calamity Master spoke of.
This method of reducing resurrections could indeed suppress the development of the fourth calamity.
Once they had anxiety about their number of resurrections, they wouldn't be so reckless and unscrupulous.
Chu Changge thought about it and finally agreed to the cooperation.
"Senior, this Junior is very interested in the cooperation you mentioned!"
Hearing this, the Benevolent Calamity Master smiled and said, "Great Emperor Chu, in the future, you will surely find that the decision you made today was worth it!"
As the deal was reached, the System's prompt sounded in Chu Changge's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing Option 1. Reward: cultivation Realm increased by one level!]
As the System's prompt faded, Chu Changge felt his cultivation rapidly increase once more.
He had now broken through to the third level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
Chu Changge quickly stabilized his cultivation and then asked about the specific cooperation: "Senior, I wonder how you wish to cooperate?"
The Benevolent Calamity Master said, "There's no hurry now. The Evil Intentions has already left this Realm and headed to the Immortal Realm; it will not strike here again!"
"During this time, you should Cultivate first and Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm as soon as possible, then undergo Ascension to the Immortal Realm! Only when you reach the Immortal Realm can you help me!"
Chu Changge nodded and said, "Very well, Senior, this Junior understands. However, since the Malevolent Calamity Master is no longer here, then the fourth calamity of this world..."
Chu Changge wanted to ask how to handle that group of players.
If those players were not handled properly and were instead left in this world, then given the Heart-Nature of 'players', they would go on a killing spree for so-called monster grinding and leveling up.
He wanted this Benevolent Calamity Master to withdraw these players.
The Benevolent Calamity Master saw what was on Chu Changge's mind and shook her head.
"No! This seat cannot send these players away yet!"
"The Malevolent Calamity Master went to the Immortal Realm, and he will surely develop his fourth calamity there. If we withdraw the fourth calamity at this time, we will only fall into a passive position once the Evil Intentions nurtures a batch of powerful calamities to come down!"
"Young man, you don't need to worry. With this seat here, they will not kill the innocent indiscriminately!"
"Moreover, a trouble will soon appear in the Demon Dao Domain. With these fourth calamities around, you can also reduce many losses!"
Hearing this, Chu Changge frowned and asked, "Trouble in the Demon Dao Domain?"
The Benevolent Calamity Master smiled and said, "Indeed. Have you forgotten that Seal suppressing the Outer-domain Heavenly Demons? Although the Outer-domain Heavenly Demons are far less terrifying than my fourth calamity, every time they awaken, they bring a batch of powerful enemies into the world. These enemies are perfect for the fourth calamities to train against!"
Chu Changge remembered that Seal in the Demon Dao Domain that suppressed the Outer-domain Heavenly Demons. Back then, he had even retrieved the supreme treasure of the Demon Dao Domain for them.
In the end, even after the treasure was returned, it was of no use, and the Seal was still broken by the Outer-domain Heavenly Demons.
However, the timing of these Outer-domain Heavenly Demons' emergence was truly unfortunate.
Their emergence now would only result in them becoming experience babies for the players.
Chu Changge smiled and said, "So that's how it is. Then this Junior will thank Senior on behalf of everyone in the Tianxuan Realm!"
The Benevolent Calamity Master nodded and said, "Mm, alright, you should go back now. This seat will keep the fourth calamity in check!"
Soon, Chu Changge left Su Fei's home and returned to the Sword Qi Great Wall.
And as he left Su Fei's house, a voice sounded simultaneously in the minds of the players on the Sword Emperor Dao Domain's side.
[Ding! System update, game upgrade! The game's background world has undergone major changes. All players are forbidden from attacking players or NPCs of the same faction. Violators will be penalized with a seven-day ban from logging in!]
[Ding! Evil energy has been detected growing in the Demon Dao Domain. Players are requested to explore the Demon Dao Domain on their own. If evil creatures are found, please kill them immediately!]
"..."
The appearance of one new rule after another made the players increasingly excited.
"Eh? The game upgraded? This dev team is too awesome. With so many people online at the same time, they can actually upgrade the game without a sound?"
"This is getting more and more interesting. Evil energy growing? Does that mean we can kill ghosts and slay evil? Brothers, do you want to form a team and explore the new map together?"
"..."
