Clang.
Clang.
Clang.
In the East God Continent, the melodious bell echoed in the mountains.
The Immortal Ascension Assembly that happened once every three years started again. Countless men, women, and children with dreams of longevity stepped onto the path to immortality.
Beside the bamboo forest mountain path…
Bai Lian, who had received her master's order, flew to Qiong Ming Peak on her sword. At this moment, her feet were filled with noisy voices…
"Junior Sister, the path to immortality is bitter and cold. Why don't we hug each other for warmth?"
"My son, Huang Teng, has the bearing of an immortal emperor. He will definitely be liked by an immortal this time!"
"There are 80,000 words in the world, but the word 'love' is the most deadly. If I enter the immortal sect today, I'll definitely cut off all my ties with the mortal world and cultivate the Supreme Emotionless Dao."
"I want ten Dao companions!"
Listening to these familiar lines, Bai Lian felt that she was about to lose it. This once again proved that her newly recovered memories of her previous life were correct.
"This is not a world that normal people should stay in!"
Bai Lian's lips turned pale.
In her previous life, she was an ordinary shut-in. She loved to read novels and play games. She had just graduated from university and had yet to experience the tiring working life, nor had she experienced the temptation of the world.
After staying up all night to play games, she went to a convenience store. Just as she left the store, she was hit by a speeding truck in front of a fruit stall.
Bai Lian was stunned.
She had transmigrated.
And it was a standard opening where she was an orphan!
A "girl" in a white cloud-patterned robe, with elegant eyebrows and a lazy expression, was walking leisurely on the street.
"Oh my!"
When she passed by Bai Lian, the girl stopped.
Her oval face, which was as white as snow, flushed red from excessive surprise.
The girl looked at Bai Lian and opened her mouth slightly until it was wide enough for a quail egg to be stuffed in it.
She had never seen such a person whose face was filled with such a strong aura of death. The other party was simply death itself!
"Interesting."
After muttering, the girl raised her head and smiled. "I'm An Lan, the head of the Immortal Du Sect's Qiong Ming Peak. Are you willing to be my eldest disciple and cultivate the art of longevity with me?"
Bai Lian, who thought that this person would bring her good luck, bowed.
After that, it wasn't like Bai Lian had never asked An Lan why she had taken her in as a disciple. After all, Qiong Ming Peak An Lan was famous for being lazy in the Immortal Du Sect. The matter of her taking in a disciple even alarmed the sect master.
Sect Master: "What's wrong with you? Did you go berserk from cultivation?"
An Lan: "Hehe."
In the face of Bai Lian's questions, An Lan brushed them off every time.
"I just find you pleasing to the eye."
After calming down, Bai Lian thought seriously. The answer was very obvious.
This was the protagonist halo!!!
But…
This was all an illusion.
It was all an illusion!
Bai Lian, who had recovered her memories, gradually understood everything.
The reason why An Lan took her in as a disciple was purely out of personal bad taste. She wanted to see how Bai Lian, who was covered in the aura of death, would die.
The reason was that the world Bai Lian was in was a romance game called "Battle of the Gods".
This independent game was exquisite and had many romance options. The voice acting was also just right to seduce people. Its practicality was top-notch!
The game adventure system was similar to the Legend of Jin Yong. The character cultivation system was similar to the Legend of Swordsman, but the battle system was a little unsatisfactory.
The game plot also highlighted speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.
In the game, players played the role of a fake and scheming woman named Bai Lian. She would often "bully" her junior sister fiercely for no reason. In some storylines, she even did something as sinful as insulting the other party's ancestors!
However…
The Battle of the Gods wasn't popular.
The problem was due to the plot arrangement.
Rather than calling it a romance game, it was more like a game designed to help you get rid of your lust.
The game protagonist, Bai Lian, had as many as 108 ways to die. She was even worse than Brother Cheng in the Heavenly Kingdom.
The most annoying thing was that the death scene couldn't be skipped. A second ago, the player was still reminiscing about the eye-catching scene, but in the next second, the protagonist's head would be sent flying away.
Basically, everyone had the right to kill her!
Not long after the game was released, players cursed in the forum.
"Damn, this game is just too scary. I hope the producer always forgets to bring toilet paper when he goes to the toilet!"
The game quickly picked up the reputation of being a horror game.
Bai Lian was also tricked into the game by their screenshots. Then, she realized that this was not a horror game at all, but a romance game that attracted people to commit crimes.
Bai Lian chuckled.
Although the protagonist was a woman, it didn't affect the excitement of the game.
She was simply too eager and couldn't wait at all as she skipped through all the dialogue.
And now…
Bai Lian regretted it now. Her understanding of the plot of the Battle of the Gods was only limited to the information that was circulated on the forum. Despite knowing about the game, she didn't have any advantages at all.
However, the game was a game after all. Most of the time, the scene was focused on Bai Lian. Even if she knew the general direction of the plot, she might not necessarily be able to survive successfully.
This was a cultivation world that was extremely large and had many continents!
As the "main character", she wasn't guaranteed an "undying halo" and would not always survive. Perhaps one day, she would be destroyed by the sword light that descended from the sky while meditating in the courtyard.
Bai Lian was definitely justified in worrying about this.
She had experienced many death endings, and in a few of them, the protagonist would just be walking on the street when suddenly…
[A black shadow flying past sliced through her neck.]
[A white shadow flying past imprisoned her three souls and seven spirits.]
[A green shadow flying past grabbed her and refined her into a furnace.]
There was also the "satisfying ending", where she would be beaten to death in the middle of the night because she was too arrogant in the Dao Sect competition.
"It's too scary!"
Thinking of this, Bai Lian's entire body trembled. Her hands and feet were cold in broad daylight. This world was filled with malice and pressure towards Bai Lian. How was Bai Lian supposed to rise up in this world?
Of course.
Bai Lian also knew that it was completely reasonable for the protagonist of the game to end up like this.
Who asked her to bully those female characters?
Especially the group of women from Qiong Ming Peak.
His master, An Lan, was on the surface the head of the Immortal Du Sect's Qiong Ming Peak, but in fact, she was the reincarnation of the Immortal World's Immortal Heavenly Venerate. It was said that she once had the strength to carry the sky and rule the ages alone, immortal in the cycle of reincarnation.
The four junior sisters were not ordinary people either.
The second Junior Sister was the future Holy Spirit Goddess!
Third Junior Sister, the reborn Heaven-defying Asura!
Fourth Junior Sister, the future Mad Dragon War God!
Fifth Junior Sister, the future Martial God!
Their surnames were all very typical, and their "professions" were also unsurprisingly impressive.
Apart from that, there were also descendants of the Profound God Needle, descendants of the Dragon King, and the Nether King Hall Master in the Immortal Du Sect…
It was as if the game producer who was known as Deep Blue had thrown a bunch of characters from a "feel good" novel into a pot of stew, and the main "ingredient" in this big pot of stew was the ordinary Bai Lian.
The other party would be disappointed.
Bai Lian was about to collapse.
This was not helpful at all!
Before her junior sisters' strength rose, she could do whatever she wanted. Today, she could give the Holy Spirit Maiden two slaps, and tomorrow, she could kick the Dragon King descendant. However, in the future, not only would she be suppressed under the Nine Nether, but her ancestors would also be pulled out and whipped.
Even if her junior sisters didn't kill her, the Heavenly Dao in this world would probably directly send divine lightning to kill her.
"This is too much. Is the Holy Spirit Maiden (Heaven-Defying Asura, Mad Dragon Battle God…) someone you can provoke?
"There will be no place for you in the entire cultivation world!"
Damn.
The original protagonist was really fearless!
Bai Lian had heard that "Battle of the Gods" had a hidden ending where the protagonist didn't die, but until the moment she transmigrated, no one could achieve this ending. She didn't think that she, who only had one life to spare now, could risk trying this.
"I definitely can't let this happen!"
Bai Lian wanted to save herself.
She didn't dare to continue complaining, but this didn't mean that she could definitely live steadily. There were several big events that affected the entire Immortal Du Sect in the game. She had to become stronger to survive the crisis.
Sigh.
Bai Lian sighed.
Speaking of which, her master, An Lan, had called her over to get her to bring her second junior sister back.
The plot began.
She couldn't help but be anxious.
At this moment, an emotionless voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
[The starting point of the plot has been detected. The system has been activated.]
"Huh?"
She was saved!
Bai Lian was overjoyed.
