Shared Fate?
Du Ge pondered the usage of this skill in his mind and then shook his head. Chen Ziyong was on the wrong path.
Confession doesn’t just mean expressing love; it also means making a public statement or announcement.
Simply focusing on the love confession aspect isn’t wrong, but it certainly is a misguided approach.
The skill effect of “Honeyed Words” doesn’t necessarily lead others to fall in love with him.
Without his help, it’s highly unlikely that such an impressive skill like “Shared Fate” would have emerged.
“Shared Fate” means that by loving more people, he essentially gains countless human shields. With the help of love talismans and harmony talismans, quantity might even transform into quality.
More shields.
These strong lovers who would take a hit for him would definitely treat him like a treasure, possibly even helping him with keywords, aiding his growth, ultimately achieving harmony and forming a powerful harem, sweeping across the world.
However, this requires a long-term process.
The early stages develop slowly, the middle stages require external aids like love talismans, making it a late-game hero, which is not suitable for the current Simulation Field…
“Can I help you?” Chen Ziyong asked with a flattering smile.
“Old Chen, what are you talking about? Do you think ordinary people don’t deserve friendship?” Du Ge patted his shoulder, comforting him, “Even if you’re a waste, so what? I’ll carry you.”
“…” Chen Ziyong.
…
While Du Ge was subduing the fox demon and others, the outside world was already in an uproar.
Tourists at Tianshi Mountain uploaded the videos they had captured online, and within half an hour, they had spread like wildfire, impossible to contain.
The cage formed by black gas and golden light, the skull in the sky, the five-colored divine dragons couldn’t deceive anyone…
On websites, forums, and chat groups on various apps, almost everyone was discussing the anomalies at Tianshi Mountain.
Cheng Yu’s battle against the ghosts at Tianshi Mountain quickly shot to the top of the trending searches.
This wasn’t some blurry UFO or lake monster footage; it was a real event happening right before their eyes.
After all, many people had live-streamed it with their phones.
The details of Cheng Yu’s battle with the ghosts, the spells he used, were captured clearly, people could even count the scales on the armor of the sword-wielding ghost general.
The main reason the video quickly became a hot topic.
Was that the person fighting the ghosts was none other than the celebrity Cheng Yu, who had previously demonstrated Daoist magic in Tongshan City.
At this point, no one believed in special effects or movie tricks anymore. If special effects could be captured by onlookers’ phones, why would people still watch movies?
…
“Cheng Yu was telling the truth, there really is Daoist magic in this world.”
“The world has really been invaded by the Heavenly Demon.”
“We’ve been kept in the dark.”
“No wonder typhoons always veer off our country’s coast, there really are immortals protecting us.”
“Is the truth from 20 years ago finally coming out? It’s time to tell everyone about the sealed memories…”
“Could it be a mirage or a light show?”
“Are you stupid? When have you ever seen real people in a mirage? Didn’t you see that massive cloud? If our country could control the weather so precisely, we’d be invincible by now.”
“I want to learn Daoist magic.”
“I strongly urge the government to introduce cultivation courses in primary and secondary schools.”
“I don’t blame Cheng Yu for driving luxury cars and wearing expensive watches anymore, he’s really carrying the weight for us…”
“Right, he should look down on us.”
…
Not just domestically.
People abroad were equally shocked and clamoring after seeing the scenes from Tianshi Mountain.
They started forming groups to search for gods and demons in their own countries, flooding forums of churches and temples with inquiries.
After all, if other countries had them and theirs didn’t.
How would they defend themselves in future wars?
If you launch a nuclear missile and a divine dragon swallows it halfway, who would you complain to?
Let’s not even talk about the netizens’ reactions.
The students who had just fled abroad or were planning to, went crazy after seeing what happened at Tianshi Mountain.
What was going on?
Had the main storyline been uncovered?
Were the students all that fierce? It had only been a few days!
Even Du Ge wasn’t that intense back then, right?
One controlled the power of the state, the other could flaunt their strength alone, how were they supposed to compete?
Were they supposed to wait for them to destroy each other?
They prided themselves as elites, thinking they could achieve something in the Simulation Field like Du Ge, but witnessing the unreasonable strength of these two, they suddenly felt as naive as children.
Some students even started missing the days when everyone was lying low. Du Ge’s approach was too crazy; without enough strength, it was impossible to play along…
…
On the highway from Dragon and Tiger Mountain to Tianshi Mountain, over a dozen identical business cars were speeding.
In one of the middle cars, a man in his thirties looked at his phone, frowning, “Cheng Yu, Inner Core stage? How did he achieve that?”
“Director Zhang, Cheng Yu released the Ghost King from the Demon Sealing Cave? Are we still going to Tianshi Mountain?” asked Li Yao, who had previously lashed out at fans online. She looked cautiously at the man, “Even without the released Ghost King, with him reaching the Inner Core stage, our assembled experts might not be his match.”
“Li Yao, do you really think Cheng Yu’s keyword is discrimination?” the man asked.
“He initially displayed discrimination, didn’t he?” Li Yao replied, “If it wasn’t discrimination, his attributes wouldn’t have increased so quickly. Without such high attributes, he couldn’t have reached the Inner Core stage.”
“Even with high attributes, it would take more than a few days to reach the Inner Core stage.” The man’s frown deepened, “Li Yao, do you think the main storyline of this world is the literary talent from a thousand years ago?”
“Director Zhang, are we not going to Tianshi Mountain?” Li Yao asked.
“Knowing we can’t win, should we go there to die?” The man glanced at Li Yao and opened his personal interface, “I’m already number one in the Simulation Field. Finding the main storyline now and ending the Simulation Field to secure the victory is the most correct move… Damn it!”
“What happened?” Li Yao asked.
“Nothing.” The man looked at the glaring second place, his brow twitching, “Notify the convoy to turn back to the capital, fully search for Sheng Wenhua’s clues, issue a notice, and offer a reward for Heavenly Demons with investigative abilities to join the Special Affairs Bureau. I’ll distribute the top ten spots.”
“…” Li Yao glanced at the man with a hint of disdain in her eyes, “Director Zhang, Du Ge offered rewards to other Heavenly Demons when he was already assured of victory. We’re in the Simulation Field. Only outstanding performance can get us to the Alien Star Battlefield; distributing the top ten spots has no effect.
No one will listen to you.
Moreover, the Simulation Field has only been going for four or five days. Most students are probably hoping you and Cheng Yu will fight to a draw so they can benefit.”
The man sighed, rubbing his temples, “No matter what, let’s head back to the capital first. I don’t believe that with such a huge advantage at the start, Cheng Yu can still turn the tables. At worst, I’ll mobilize the army to bombard Tianshi Mountain…”
“Modern weapons don’t have much effect on cultivators, and Cheng Yu probably won’t be foolish enough to wait at Tianshi Mountain for you to bomb him,” Li Yao said.
“I don’t believe Cheng Yu is really at the Inner Core stage.” Losing the top spot in less than a day, the man was inevitably agitated. He glanced at Li Yao impatiently, “You’re so smart, why don’t you think of a way to deal with Cheng Yu…”
“Beimang Mountain.” Li Yao looked at the man and slowly said, “Tianshi Mountain has the Demon Sealing Cave, Beimang Mountain has the Ghost King. If there’s anyone in this world who can deal with the Inner Core stage, it’s the Ghost King of Beimang Mountain.
Beimang Mountain has been a strategic location for generations, and it’s also a royal tomb, housing countless fierce ghosts.
For thousands of years, no matter what happened in the cultivation world, no one has ever dared to attack Beimang Mountain. The Ghost King has countless ghost generals under his command. If we can control them, our combined strength will surpass Cheng Yu’s.”
“Brilliant!” The man’s eyes lit up, “If Cheng Yu can open the Demon Sealing Cave, I can control Beimang Mountain. I don’t believe a mere Inner Core stage can defeat a million ghost soldiers.”
