248: New event coming!

Lin Sheng didn't expect this.

Because of his handsome appearance, the Blue Star players quickly noticed him.

One by one, they focused their gaze on him.

Some even clamored to take pictures?

Just at this moment.

Golden system text appeared before him.

[Ding!]

[The Heavenly Mandated Protagonist "Zhou Sheng" has triggered a life event!]

What?!

Lin Sheng rarely showed a bewildered expression.

He was still completely bewildered and didn't understand anything about this place.

How could an event already be happening?

And... Zhou Sheng?

What kind of person is he, to even have the same name as me?!

[Event Name: The Tianming Great World Game Opens, Zhou Sheng Slashes Three Kings in Succession and Makes a Grand Vow!]

[Location: Hongyuan Dao Domain · Bai Xian City · Zhou Family Ancestral Land]

[Event Summary: After Blue Star players entered the Tianming Great World, they triggered the first opening animation. In the opening narration, they learned the cause and effect.]

[It turns out there was a rumor that the reason the Zhou Family prodigy "Zhou Sheng" was born with unusual phenomena and broke through so quickly was because he obtained a portion of Heavens Mandate Luck at birth.]

[Therefore.]

[At Zhou Sheng's sixteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony at this moment, the Ten Kings of Bai Xian City, in alliance with the Two Immortal Cultivatorss from Beyond the Heavens, came together to pressure Zhou Sheng into handing over his Heavens Mandate Luck.]

[Zhou Sheng refused and was subdued on the ground.]

[Zhou's father was dissatisfied and protested to the Ten Kings, but was suppressed and killed on the spot by the Ten Kings.]

[Zhou Sheng was enraged, suddenly burst forth with power gaining immense strength, successively slaying three Kings and scaring away seven Kings.]

[Afterward.]

[He immediately made a grand vow to gather nine portions of Heavens Mandate Luck and completely end the chaotic conflicts in this world.]

[Blue Star players also realized from this that the core of this "Tianming Great World" is the struggle for nine portions of Heavens Mandate Luck. And Zhou Sheng is very likely the primary protagonist in this game.]

[Their main quest as players should be to help him collect nine portions of Heavens Mandate Luck.]

[And the seven Kings and two Immortal Cultivatorss who came here to exert pressure today stood on the opposite side of the players, becoming villains in the players' eyes.]

Villains?

No!

Lin Sheng raised an eyebrow; becoming a villain in the eyes of Blue Star players was not a good thing.

Who knows what kind of abilities and items these players have, or what strange actions they might take?

In short.

He must do his utmost to clear himself of the suspicion of being a "villain."

'I just didn't expect an event to happen as soon as I arrived.'

As various thoughts flashed through Lin Sheng's mind, he saw the surrounding crowd stir.

The crowd then parted.

A father and son, hand in hand, slowly walked out under everyone's gaze.

The person in front wore a python-patterned golden robe, carried a treasured sword at his waist, and wore a jade crown on his head. As he walked, he was majestic and filled with sword intent, like a master of the sword dao.

The person behind looked much younger, appearing to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although his face was still a bit youthful, his skin was fair, his features well-defined, and his eyes were like clear black gems, making people unable to help but praise: What a handsome young man.

He wore a white robe with fire patterns, and a blazing flame belt tightly cinched his waist.

The tightly fitted robe instead accentuated his sturdy physique, causing some young girls' eyes to sparkle.

"This old man, Zhou Zi Wang, brings my child Zhou Sheng..."

The person in the python robe walked to the front of the ten rows of ten white-robed young people, held his son's hand, and bowed his head towards the twelve individuals, his expression extremely respectful: "Greetings, all Immortal Cultivatorss!"

Dong—

A bell chimed in the distance.

It seemed to be telling the players that the game's opening animation had officially begun.

"Wow! It's starting, it's starting!"

"Look closely, look closely! This game is so exquisitely made, there must be many hidden easter eggs in the opening animation."

"So now twelve Immortal Cultivatorss have come to a small family?"

"I wonder what cultivation levels these Immortal Cultivatorss have. I'm so curious."

"I think Immortal Cultivators might just be an honorific title. Maybe their cultivation is very low."

"That's true. There shouldn't be levels that are too high at the beginning. If they are early bosses, they should only be around level thirty or forty..."

The players' various voices hadn't stopped since just now.

Lin Sheng carefully observed the expressions of these natives in the Tianming Great World.

He found that they seemed to not hear anything at all.

'Hmm?'

'Could it be that this is a special state where the players' voices are temporarily isolated?'

This doubt lasted only for a brief moment.

Because Lin Sheng was also curious about what cultivation levels these people around him had—in his perception, these people were much weaker than him, roughly at the True Immortal Cultivators level...

But in this high-level world.

What specific "level" did such cultivation represent? He was very concerned.

"You..."

Lin Sheng was just about to find someone randomly to probe.

He heard the first person at the head of the left row say with cold, disdainful words: "You don't even kneel, just a bow, and that counts as a greeting to us Immortal Cultivatorss?"

This guy must be a villain.

—This was the first reaction in the hearts of both Lin Sheng and the Blue Star players.

The Blue Star players were still chattering and discussing there.

Before Lin Sheng, the choice had already arrived!

[Life Choice Triggered!]

[Your manner of greeting has caused dissatisfaction from one of the Ten Kings of Bai Xian City, "Dark King" Fen Ye.]

[Regarding this—]

[A: Express anger, do you have a right to speak here?]

[B: Express approval, immediately kneel and apologize.]

[C: Express defiance, glare at him with an unyielding gaze.]

[D: Feel excited, let the Dark King continue to treat him with this attitude.]

Options A, B, and D all piqued Lin Sheng's interest.

Unfortunately, this wasn't a multiple-choice question.

Just as he hesitated, Zhou's father gritted his teeth with a look of determination and said in a deep voice: "Apologies, please Immortal Cultivatorss understand, but our Zhou Family ancestral teachings are thus: kneel to heaven, kneel to earth, kneel to parents, and can half-kneel to a Master or benefactor, but besides that..."

"Under all other circumstances, we absolutely do not kneel!!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Blue Star players were all excited.

"Right, right, right! That's the kind of existence the protagonist is, someone who doesn't kneel!"

"It seems Zhou Sheng is really the protagonist NPC of this game. We must protect him!"

"These Immortal Cultivatorss don't seem friendly. They might be early villains!"

"Very likely!"

Under the sunlight, Zhou Zi Wang and Zhou Sheng's figures seemed even more upright and radiant!

And at this moment, clouds happened to block some of the sunlight.

Causing the row of twelve people opposite them to be shrouded in shadow, as if forming a stark visual contrast, as if these twelve people had truly become villains.

B!

Seeing this, Lin Sheng quickly made his choice.

At the same time, he also raised his eyes and glared at the sky. Instantly, the clouds dispersed, and sunlight shone brightly!

Thump!!

Beside Zhou Zi Wang, a dull yet loud sound of kneeling suddenly rang out.

"Indeed!"

"Father! This time, it was indeed us who were impolite!"

"Facing Immortal Cultivatorss whose strength far surpasses ours, we should express due respect. It's just a kneel; our ancestors will understand us!"

Facing the astonished gazes of Zhou Zi Wang and all the players, Zhou Sheng said with a serious expression.
