Chapter 232 Yuan Ling's Avatar
the internet is a giant dye vat, where dense information causes premature worldly wisdom.
the spirit ginseng baby had maintained the heart of a newborn for a thousand years, but just two years after getting a smartphone, its path to immortality lay shattered, and it forgot all about the dream of becoming a celestial being.
"why pursue immortality when gaming is so much more fun?"
alas, its talent for gaming was too poor, and its intelligence was clearly lower than that of number six. even with skillful play, it was stuck in the gold ranks for the long term.
the spirit ginseng baby didn't mind this; it didn't play games to win or lose. as long as it could make all its teammates mute their mics, it considered that a spiritual victory.
since it had no way to top up its account, when teammates couldn't outdo the spirit ginseng baby in insults, they started mocking it for being poor.
until one day it heard a male teammate, eager to please, offering cp skins. the spirit ginseng baby felt like it had discovered a new world.
transforming into a beautiful girl, it donned extravagant and noble palace attire, and with voice and video conveyance it floated with celestial grace. it sweetly called out to its "little brothers," melting the bones of netizens, and easily received many skins.
when zhou yi discovered this, he sternly reprimanded it, admonishing against doing wrong even in small ways, and forbade it from cheating with magic again!
but the spirit ginseng baby quickly found another way. it downloaded a video app, posted a few dance videos, and left its game account information. in just a few days, it had more digital currency than it could spend.
"mortals are truly foolish; no matter how advanced technology becomes, they still crave those inner desires!"
scanning the crowd of ghostly entities, the spirit ginseng baby said, "the immortal master has sent you here for a great mission to save humanity, which will be entrusted to your hands!"
the crowd of ghosts immediately became solemn, not daring to underestimate kunlun wonderland because of smartphones and games.
compared to the sacred and mist-shrouded majesty that people imagined, the legendary place where immortals cultivated was indeed connected to the power behind dynastic succession in the nine continents.
who says immortals can't game? this is what it truly means to be unfettered by worldly concerns, to follow one's heart.
when the strong do something odd, there will always be people ready to rationalize it perfectly for them!
"according to the rules of kunlun, you are all granted one year of cultivation," said the spirit ginseng baby.
"after proving yourselves through cultivation, you will scatter into the nine continents, gather benevolent lost souls, and form into patrolling ghost soldiers responsible for suppressing malevolent specters and malevolent ghosts!"
"we will heed the immortal master's command."
the crowd of ghosts responded with a thunderous affirmation. in the mortal realm, there were already legends about an underworld, and this call to arms seemed similar to the duties of the judges and other officials there.
the spirit ginseng baby nodded slightly, solemnly adding, "before we begin our cultivation, there is a very urgent matter that requires thorough investigation!"
the ghostly crowd listened keenly, afraid to lose this rare opportunity.
"which ranks do you hold in the glory of the nine continents game?"
"..."
the ghosts fell silent, unsure of how to respond. some, like professor lu yuan, had never played any games.
a ghostly figure with the look of a college student raised a hand and replied, "immortal master, i am at the rank of emperor with fifty stars."
"good!"
zhou yi silently recited the clear mind mantra, pushing down his fluttering thoughts; he wouldn't impose causality on himself.
at this moment.
within the range of his divine sense, a retired professor from the history department of immortal capital university had died from exhaustion of his lifespan.
zhou yi had been secretly observing this man for a long time, his identity and profession were just right for the requirements, and finally, the day had come; he took out the divination cylinder and performed the minor severing heaven technique. experience more content on empire
the spirit ginseng landed steadily on the ground.
"as a daoist, i exist outside of predestined fate, i am that one who has eluded it!"
...
immortal capital hospital.
inside the special care ward.
children and grandchildren formed a circle, their expressions filled with sorrow.
students of the professor stood outside the ward to send off their teacher, among them was xiao ran.
on the sickbed.
the emaciated old man had few hairs remaining and his eyes peacefully closed, evidently, he had few regrets in life, clutching in his hand a peculiar stone bead, an ancient artifact discovered for the first time during an archaeological dig.
seeming like a stone but not a stone, as hard as steel, it was difficult to determine its exact age.
suddenly.
the stone bead flickered with a seven-colored light, a ray of spiritual light emanated, merging into the old man's body.
the children and grandchildren, who had their eyes fixed on the old man, naturally saw this strange phenomenon and were about to shout in astonishment.
the old man's eyebrows twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.
a sharp gaze swept over his family members, a terrifying aura manifested, scaring them into silence.
"where is this?"
his son answered tremblingly, "immortal capital."
the old man's brows slightly furrowed, then inquired, "where is immortal capital located in which continent?"
"cloud continent!"
at this time, the stone bead was still shining with spiritual light, the withered hair began to grow back, the wrinkled skin quickly smoothed out, and in a blink of an eye, he went from an old man to looking in his fifties or sixties.
"how has only a little over a thousand years passed?"
ignoring the fear of his children and grandchildren, the old man tore off the various equipment tubes, stood up from the sickbed, and declared,
"i am, heavenly monarch yuanling!"
