Chapter 17: Identity Exposed?!
"Wang Yi, tell us, what exactly is your relationship with the Dao? Why is your Awakening Planet process so similar to his, and even the evolution of civilization follows the same path?"
Curly Hair obviously didn't want to let Wang Yi off easily, continuing to press him about his relationship with the Dao.
"Yeah! Wang Yi, come on, spill it. Are you related to Dao?"
"Spill the beans! We're all classmates here; you can't hide it from us!"
"Share your awakening experience, please. I'm about to come of age for awakening soon. If I can't awaken a planet, I'll follow the same path as you and Dao!"
"..."
Listening to the relentless questions from those around him, Wang Yi was speechless to the extreme. What kind of relationship could he possibly have with the Dao? He's just one person.
As for those who said they wanted to follow his way of awakening their planet, Wang Yi was speechless to the extreme. Without a completed Primordial Civilization system and supporting infrastructure, how could you possibly awaken in the same way as me?
Even if you could imitate it, how would you evolve the subsequent civilization system?
A fluke?
Obviously, awakening would not allow it.
These words, Wang Yi could only rant about in his mind, unable to bring them to light, otherwise, he would be exposed!
If that happened, endless trouble would surely follow.
He was still very weak now, unable to withstand any significant trouble. Laying low was the wise choice; let "Dao" be the show-off!
With this in mind, Wang Yi put on a surprised expression and said, "Let me off, please! I really don't know this Dao you're talking about.
If I did know him, I would have soared high already. Would I still need to go to school?"
"Er... What he said seems to make sense! If Wang Yi knew Dao, he wouldn't need to attend school here, he could just mix in directly with Dao!" Curly Hair and the others also realized it; what Wang Yi said was right. If he knew Dao, there would be no need to while away the days at school.
"Alright, break it up! It won't be good if Old Class sees us!" Seeing that Curly Hair and the others' resolve was weakening, Wang Yi quickly brought up their class teacher Li Wanlin and managed to escape from the encirclement of the "livestock."
He walked to his seat, took out a Chinese textbook, flipped it symbolically for a bit, then took out his phone, opened up the Baidu browser, logged into the forum, and searched for "Dao" and "Primordial Civilization."
Sure enough...
Just like what Curly Hair and the others said, everywhere online was buzzing with the phrases "Dao" and "Primordial Civilization!"
First place on the Baidu Trending Searches was "Dao";
Second was "Primordial Civilization."
Third was a bounty reward post for information on Dao's identity!
Apart from the Planet Talent Rankings placed tenth on the hot search list, the other nine related to "Dao" and "Primordial Civilization."
"Is it really this hot of a topic?"
Wang Yi was taken aback.
If people found out that he was the Dao who had evolved the Primordial Civilization, he would never have peace in the future. Not to mention being torn apart by profit-crazy capital, but also persecuted by it.
Staying low was crucial; he absolutely couldn't be reckless!
Not now anyway, only after the Three Thousand Chaotic Demon Gods were born could he afford to be reckless...
...
"Eh, what's this?"
Suddenly.
A rapidly trending hot search caught his attention: [Dao's evolution of the Primordial Civilization is not unique; it's known that another person has also achieved a similar Planet Awakening!]
The post's ranking rose quickly, climbing from the 10086th place to the top twenty in the blink of an eye. At this rate, it would soon break into the top ten.
He clicked the link and entered the post!
The first thing that met his eyes was the self-introduction of the poster.
[Dear viewers, hello!
I am the poster, Little Dao.
Yesterday, I heard that someone in the Yanhuang Empire had evolved a "Legendary" civilization, so I looked!
And I was shocked!
The Planet Master Dao's evolution——"Primordial Civilization," seemed familiar.
```
To validate the rumored "Planet Awakening" and "Civilization Birth," Tao scoured countless images and records of Awakening Planet, and finally got confirmation from a friend.
According to my friend's account, recently in a certain area, a youngster just reached 18 decisively shattered an Awakening Planet for being too small...
Eventually, a civilization 90% similar to the Tao emerged.
Tao has ascertained the identity of this individual, and if you want to know, leave a comment below!]
The post wasn't long, a little over a hundred words, but it unleashed an enormous reaction, shooting up the hot search rankings in no time, with the comments skyrocketing to 1006111111+.
This shows the post is on fire!
"Fuck me?"
While others were asking in the comments who the person related to the Tao Star awakening and civilization evolution was, Wang Yi was cursing inside.
Which asshole is this? He's just stopped short of revealing my name!
"Unfilial!"
Wang Yi's mood soured.
Once his identity is exposed, it will surely attract countless people's attention, even threats and temptations.
This isn't a good sign!
However, he understood that even if this person didn't expose him, those students in his school who saw his awakening would.
There are no walls without cracks in this world.
What he needs to do now is to evolve "Primordial Civilization" as fast as possible; even birthing a single Chaotic Demon God would mean he's not afraid of external malice.
"Damn it!"
Wang Yi cursed in annoyance before browsing through the comments under the forum post.
Second floor post, a netizen named "I am a Big Persimmon" commented: [Really or not, Tao?]
Third floor post, a netizen named "Meng Ru Chicken" commented: [Tao, are you just trying to stir up heat? Fess up!]
Fourth floor post, a netizen named "Little Chicken Eating Rice" commented: [You're amazing, claiming someone similar to a Legendary Civilization Evolution System has appeared! Why do I find that so hard to believe?]
Fifth floor post, a netizen named "Field Ruined Pot" commented: [Tao, can you clarify the problem with the Lighthouse Country IP?]
Sixth floor post, a netizen named "Tao Sun Country" commented: [The poster above is bragging, this Tao guy is too freaking shameless, spreading false information, trash!]
Seventh floor post, a netizen named "Tang Jiafeng" commented: [I feel like this Tao guy has an ulterior motive, otherwise who would post like this!]
Eighth floor post, a netizen named "Dragon Armor" commented: [I'm a hacker, I tracked down Tao's IP and found his address.
He's from Lighthouse Country, named Fu Bole, also called Vosh Mansionbi, someone who spreads fake news, friends from Yanhuang Empire, don't believe his words!]
Ninth floor post, a netizen named "To Your Mom" commented: [Lighthouse Country's dog, trash!]
...
10th floor "Kill Dog Generation" commented: [Lighthouse Country's dog, trash!]
...
20th floor "Killing Beast Generation" angrily commented: [Lighthouse Country's dog, trash!]
...
60th floor "Kill Pig Generation" angrily commented: [Lighthouse Country's dog, trash!]
...
250th floor "Killing Donkey Generation" angrily commented: [Lighthouse Country's dog, trash!]
...
From the 8th-floor netizen exposing the poster's true identity onward, the narrative changed!
Beyond the ninth floor, aside from a few exceptions, it was all cursing comments, which made Wang Yi elated!
He wanted to express his sincere thanks to the posters on the eighth and ninth floor; without these two shifting the focus, he might have had to consider skipping town!
