67: Chapter 66 The Pinned Challenge

Many survivors from other civilizations successfully survived because they saw the fishing techniques, water purification methods, and sea beast weaknesses shared by the Yanhuang Civilization people in the [Help Realm]. They used their precious speaking opportunity, which they could only post once every three days, to leave a long string of grateful words in the Symphony Realm.

[ "Visitor · Andrei (Polar Bear): Thanks to the Yanhuang Civilization brothers for sharing the cold-protection techniques. I used sea beast fat to coat the boat deck, and I finally didn't freeze stiff last night. May God bless you all." ]

[ "Visitor · Maria (Samba): Thanks for that guide 'Learn to Make a Simple Harpoon in Three Minutes'; I finally ate my first bite of meat today. Yanhuang Civilization is too great!" ]

[ "Visitor · John (Stars and Stripes): Please, I beg you, can you open up some permissions for the Karmic Trading Realm to us too? Even if it's just to buy the most basic fresh water! I am willing to pay double... no, triple the karma points!" ]

Looking at these humble, grateful, and even pleading posts, the slight annoyance in the hearts of the Yanhuang Civilization survivors had long since vanished, replaced by an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Combined with the official announcements released by the Revival Society and the Little Life Society over the past few days, everyone finally understood.

Isn't this exactly what the "Celestial Empire" prestige is all about?

We, the Yanhuang Civilization, as the leaders destined to win this trial, bestowing a few survival guides upon these "overseas barbarians" and "small, isolated nations" in advance is the demeanor of a great nation! It is the grace of a civilization!

Thus, the style on the Fate Platform began to race toward a bizarre direction of "humblebragging."

The Yanhuang Civilization survivors no longer hid things; instead, they began to show off their superior lives with great fanfare.

Someone posted a picture in the Symphony Realm: "Oops, I hunted a Silver Grade saber-toothed walrus today. There was too much meat to finish, so I had to hang it up in the Karmic Trading Realm to sell. I really envy you people who don't have to worry about how to store food. (Attached image: Sizzling roasted walrus steak)"

A bunch of gray bullet comments below were drooling and howling.

Someone showed a screenshot of their compass: "The millisecond-level weather warning of the magic sea compass is really annoying. It told me there was a storm ahead three hours in advance, forcing me to change course and miss my nap time. How do you guys without a compass usually dodge storms? Do you just rely on the naked eye?"

Even more extreme, someone even posted a screenshot of the two gray, unopened icons in the Trading Realm: "Brothers, when do you think the Fate Master will open the 'Life Spring' and the 'food god shrine'? I heard the Life Spring can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones, and the food god shrine can automatically produce feasts. These few hundred karma points in my pocket are almost molding; I really want to spend some."

This operation directly broke the defenses of the visitors from other civilizations.

They couldn't even drink a sip of clean water, yet the Yanhuang Civilization people were discussing a spring that could bring the dead back to life and a shrine that automatically generated feasts?!

Jealousy, envy, and shock transformed into even crazier survival motivation for the survivors of other civilizations. They hunted low-level sea beasts desperately and hoarded energy, just to exchange for a few more karma points so they could stay on the Fate Platform a little longer and read a few more guides.

The entire Yanhuang Camp was immersed in an unprecedented sense of civilizational superiority and cohesion.

However, just as this frenzy of "displaying national might" reached its peak, a series of extremely discordant posts suddenly appeared in the Symphony Realm.

The people posting were not those bottom-tier visitors struggling to survive.

Instead, they were the top powerhouses from other civilizations who had relied on their personal strength to kill their way to the forefront of the previous three camp sequences and individual merit rankings.

They had accessed the visitor system at the first opportunity but had not posted anything.

During days of lurking and observing, they silently browsed the vast sea of information on the Fate Platform, trying to understand the operating logic of this platform while secretly assessing the true strength of the Yanhuang Camp.

They saw the Yanhuang Civilization people showing off their Houseboats, showing off their compasses, and showing off the prosperity in the Karmic Trading Realm. They also saw the "Thank you, Fate Master" and "Long live the Fate Master" messages flooding the Symphony Realm.

A conclusion gradually took shape in their respective minds—

The mysterious person "Yang Hang," who sat at the top of the individual merit rankings with merit points as high as over 25 billion, was very likely the creator behind this Cause and Effect Fate Platform, the "Fate Master" in the mouths of the Yanhuang Civilization people.

This conclusion made some of them feel absurd, some feel vigilant, and others feel a sense of unwillingness to be crushed.

Thus, the observation presumably ended, and one post after another appeared.

And then, one after another, they were pushed to the top of the World Echo hot search due to the sensation caused by their content.

[ "Visitor · Jackson (Stars and Stripes): I have browsed all the posts on this platform. The Cause and Effect Fate Platform is a great existence. But I have a question for your 'Fate Master'—the person who sits at the top of the individual rankings with 25 billion merit points. Did you really build all this? If you really are the builder, why act like a coward? Or are you just a vain clown hiding in the dark, stealing this glory? Of course, this is all just my conjecture. I come from the great Stars and Stripes, and I believe that the powerhouses of the Stars and Stripes are second to none. I hereby issue a challenge to you! If you dare to accept, please use the assembly order of your civilization's official organization to gather us together. I will wait and see!" ]

[ "Visitor · Victoria (Fog City): Mr. Yang Hang, who sits at the top of the sequence rankings, I am Victoria from Fog City. I am curious, really curious. The sword of the sea in my hand has tasted the blood of over three hundred sea beasts. Regardless of whether you are the Lord of the Fate Altar, I hope to have the opportunity to meet you. Of course, the Fate Platform does not represent personal strength, so even if you lose to me, it is nothing to be ashamed of. I still respect you! Because this platform has saved tens of thousands of Earth Star people. I look forward to your reply!" ]

[ "Visitor · Fritz (Teuton): Yang Hang, 25 billion merit points, number one since the third day. I do not deny your strength, and I also admire your wisdom. It is just that the glory of the Teutons has never been gained through submission. A powerhouse does not become a powerhouse by relying on the piling up of praise from the weak. Fight me, let me see if you are truly worthy of standing at the top of the Magic Sea world." ]

[ "Visitor · Amit (Tianzhu): Yang Hang, you are a thief who stole the glory of the gods, a fire-stealer who stole the Divine Artifact that should have belonged to our Tianzhu. As an agent of the gods, I cannot tolerate such a thing happening. I want to have a deathmatch with you. Only the winner is qualified to control the Cause and Effect Fate Platform, this great Divine Artifact." ]
