194: The whole network is paying attention, and the players are finally the protagonists

“Have you heard? The Great Love Sect is at war with Heshui Prefecture!”

“Ah, you’ve got that wrong. It’s not at war with Heshui Prefecture, but with the Heshui Prefecture Guild.”

“Is there a difference?”

“A big difference. Heshui Prefecture has Golden Core Cultivators, most of whom are native Cultivators, but the Heshui Prefecture Guild is run by players, and everyone in it is a player.”

“So… this is a PVP event!”

“Holy crap, really?”

“Is anyone there? Can you stream it? I want to see what PVP is like.”

“My goodness, the cost of starting a character in the Xuanhuan World is so high, does anyone really want to fight in PVP?”

“Heh heh, you wouldn’t know, but they are fighting over the Sanshui Sect. If they get it, all losses can be recovered twofold.”

“Wow, I didn’t expect the Xuanhuan World to quickly develop PVP like national wars.”

On forums, video websites, and online communities, in every place discussing the Xuanhuan World, players were talking about the ongoing PVP event.

This event had a huge impact, almost raising everyone's expectations.

Previously, when Mingshui Heaven fell, the official live stream of the Ancient Style Game Development Competition organizing committee mentioned that as players' Cultivation Realm improved and various guilds and Sect forces were established, large-scale conflicts would inevitably break out among players.

At the same time, due to various reasons, Golden Core Cultivators would not set foot in Mingshui Heaven, nor would the Immortal Foundation Experts of the Three Great Sects.

This led to the strongest Cultivators in Mingshui Heaven coming from the player community. As treasures and Legacies continuously appeared, conflicts among players were bound to arise.

Many professional players who specialized in mining and herb gathering were already preparing to make a fortune from the war.

At first, they did make a fortune. The Great Love Sect suppressed other players, constantly stirring up battles around Mingshui Heaven, forcing everyone to consume Medicinal Pills and Talismans together. Many players even restarted their characters repeatedly, changing equipment sets again and again.

The professional players who were 'moving bricks' made a killing, and even many ordinary players earned a lot from this wave of PVP.

But soon, when Mingshui Heaven fell and players swarmed into it, the situation changed somewhat.

soul body old grandpas appeared one after another, and Nascent Soul Spear Intent suddenly bloomed. All of this caused the player community to temporarily halt, not engaging in large-scale PK, but rather trying to find Opportunities.

It can be said that the protagonist of Mingshui Heaven shifted from the players to the mysterious Nascent Soul Expert who had long disappeared.

This shift made many players feel lost.

They had originally thought that after working so hard for so long, with so many Immortal Foundation players and countless Mortal Foundation players,

they should rightfully become the protagonists of the Xuanhuan World and begin to stir up trouble.

But in Mingshui Heaven, they discovered that they could still only see the tip of the iceberg of the Xuanhuan World; they were still small figures in the entire Cultivation World.

This realization made many players feel somewhat frustrated. After all, in other games, which one of them wasn't a famous big shot?

Coming to this Xuanhuan World, they actually had to be henchmen for the natives?

All the players had a hold back Qi in their hearts, wanting to prove that they were the protagonists of the Xuanhuan World.

Finally, they got their chance.

With the collapse of Great Jiang and the imbalance of order, the Sanshui Sect, which had Immortal Foundation Experts guarding it, actually became a resource for players to fight over.

Pure player PVP, no native Cultivators intervening, no Golden Core Experts interfering, and no Nascent Soul trump cards.

Players would be the complete protagonists!

Immediately, countless players rushed to the Sanshui Sect, all starting live streams, using the emotions of the players to attract massive traffic.

“Hey, Brothers, look! I’m outside the Sanshui Sect right now. A lot of people from the Great Love Sect have arrived. Tsk tsk, hundreds of Mortal Foundations, truly awesome.”

“Family and friends in the live stream, I’ve arrived at the Sanshui Sect! Both sides are fighting fiercely, they don’t even have time to bother with us.”

“Hey, everyone, look quickly! The Heshui Prefecture Guild seems to be at a disadvantage? That’s strange, didn’t Great God Ye Chun get the Nascent Soul Spear Intent? How could he be suppressed? Who is that mass of black mist?”

“I see him, that’s Midnight Gao Sou! Holy crap, when did Gao Sou get so powerful, able to suppress Ye Chun?”

The watching streamers were dumbfounded.

They had originally thought that the Heshui Prefecture Guild, having traveled a long distance, must have made all the necessary preparations.

Great God Ye Chun had even achieved a Breakthrough to Immortal Foundation with Nascent Soul methods, so his combat power must be very strong now, perhaps even the number one among players.

But… he was actually suppressed by Midnight Gao Sou?

The streamers stared at the sky in astonishment.

They saw the Immortal Foundations and Mortal Foundations of the Great Love Sect clashing with the players Ye Chun brought, streaks of light constantly scattering, along with flashes of blades and swords, and occasional roars or screams, a fierce battle.

Ye Chun, holding a long spear, was constantly fighting against numerous blood-colored giant hands.

His Spear Intent was very sharp, and each strike could directly sever a blood hand.

However, the blood hands spread extremely rapidly and regenerated very quickly, almost suppressing Ye Chun to the point where he couldn't lift his head.

His expression also grew increasingly serious, and he carefully distanced himself from Midnight Gao Sou, not daring to get too close.

By this time, the watching streamers finally discovered the problem.

Midnight Gao Sou's strength, speed, and reaction capabilities were all incredibly high, actually able to suppress Ye Chun, a professional Great God.

“I understand, this isn’t Midnight Gao Sou!”

“He’s possessed by a soul body old grandpa!”

“He is terrifyingly strong now!”

The streamers looked at Midnight Gao Sou, their eyes full of envy, even jealousy.

“So, in the end, it’s still the natives doing the fighting for us?”

“Boring, boring. Are we players still just native henchmen?”

“Look at it from another angle: does this count as the soul body old grandpa being Midnight Gao Sou’s henchman? Essentially, it’s us players exploiting the natives?”

“Hey, now that you mention it, it really does seem to be the case?”

The watching streamers, players, and the audience in the live stream all started discussing.

It was at this moment that the Aura on Midnight Gao Sou's body increased once again. Blood hands intertwined, forming a giant blood-colored hand that viciously pressed down on Ye Chun.

The speed was incredibly fast; Ye Chun, even fully utilizing his movement technique, couldn't dodge it at all. Struck by the blood hand, he directly fell from the sky.

This was a gap in Cultivation Realm that could not be compensated for by operational skill.

Even if he was a former professional player, a Great God who had won championships, he still couldn't avoid this strike.

Furthermore, the reason he could take a hit and not die wasn't because of his amazing skills, but because the long spear his Master gave him was of good quality, absorbing most of the damage.

“Cough, cough…”

Ye Chun got up from the ground, wiped the corner of his mouth, and felt his internal organs being corroded by evil Qi.

Evil Cultivators' combat power was indeed weak, but their methods were very strange, often achieving miraculous effects.

Now that evil Qi had entered his body, Ye Chun's subsequent combat power would continue to decline, and he might even perish here.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked towards the Sanshui Sect. Sure enough, while they were fighting fiercely, the three Immortal Foundation Experts of the Sanshui Sect had already prepared the entire Sect, ready to flee at any time.

“I still need to seize an Opportunity…” Ye Chun looked at Midnight Gao Sou, narrowing his eyes.
