Chapter 653: Gathering Trees to Form a Forest, Blocking the Sun!
Chapter 653: Gathering Trees to Form a Forest, Blocking the Sun!
Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone...
The players from the third test unexpectedly rose into the air one by one and sat cross-legged. Behind each of them, towering trees that reached up to a kilometer appeared!
"These third test players are actually... selflessly contributing?"
"Damn, am I seeing things?"
"What the hell, this is unbelievable! This is more outrageous than the Heavenly Dao cheating!"
...
The Demon Race players from the third test were in an uproar, completely shocked.
"Since ancient times, I've been a good person willing to sacrifice myself for the greater good!"
"Don't ask me why. It's because I'm passionate by nature!"
"From childhood to now, I've always liked doing good deeds and helping others. It's my mission and duty. Please call me... Immortal Hero!"
...
The players from the third test spoke proudly, with a resolute attitude.
This scene was truly beyond imagination.
Even He Yiming found himself questioning if he was experiencing an illusion.
However, Mu Xueying couldn't find words to speak. Originally, the ancient beings were doomed!
Even He Yiming had planned to sacrifice himself to save the ancient beings, which would have been a certain death!
But...
Every member of He Yiming's group, together with He Yiming himself, bore and shared the burden. They shared the immense pressure together!
With this, He Yiming's seemingly hopeless situation was turned around!
Not only would He Yiming not die, but even...
The ancient beings wouldn't die either!
"Boom!"
In the next moment, above the heads of the five thousand players from the third test, over five thousand gigantic trees of varying sizes slowly appeared!
Previously, there was only one towering tree, borne solely by He Yiming, that was barely able to bear this almost unbearable burden.
But now...
It was a forest made up of over five thousand towering trees, blocking the sky, and resisting the frenzied burning of the two suns!
"Crack, crack, crack!" With every breath, Wang Lufei, Emperor Zoro, and other Heavenly Pill realm cultivators had their cultivation plummet. They dropped from the pinnacle of Heavenly Pill to the peak of the World Boundary realm.
Next, the players from the third test, who had been at the peak of the World Boundary realm, dropped to the later stages of the World Boundary realm.
Not only did their cultivation drop, but even the realm of their Qing Emperor Eternal Bodies also fell!
From achieving Minor Completion of the Heavenly Pill, they quickly dropped to Full Completion of the World Boundary realm!
However...
Seeing such tremendous sacrifice and effort, after He Yiming's gaze swept over, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Ahahaha!"
"Wowahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hehehe!"
"Hohohoho!"
...
With He Yiming's laughter, the cultivation of over five thousand players from the third test continuously dropped, and each of them couldn't help but laugh out loud!
"..." Over five million ancient beings raised their heads to look at the sky.
They looked at those over five thousand young and inexperienced figures, listening to their fearless laughter in the face of the impossible!
Every ancient being silently knelt on one knee and offered their prayers.
"If there are gods in this world, then they are the true gods!"
Every ancient being whispered in their hearts.
In the next moment...
Countless star-like streams of light slowly flew up from the bodies of the over five million ancient beings. They gradually flew into the air and merged into the bodies of the over five thousand players, then passed through the players and entered He Yiming's body.
"This is..." He Yiming was astonished, then checked and was left dumbfounded.
"Ding! You've gained the faith of the ancient beings and obtained 500,000 points of luck!"
"Ding! You've gained the faith of the ancient beings and obtained 350,000 points of luck!"
"Ding! You've gained the faith of the ancient beings and obtained 370,000 points of luck!"
...
He Yiming opened the system notifications and saw a long string of prompts.
The speed at which his luck was increasing was even more outrageous than when all the players were frantically farming the Hundred Billion Demon Insects Sea!
Each message granted him several hundred thousand points of luck!
These points of luck were all coming from the ancient beings!
Were these ancient beings like banks of luck?
But upon closer thought...
If these ancient beings survived, each one of them might become the ancestors of countless future human cultivators! The luck they carried would naturally be immense!
And even if they lost a significant amount of luck, it didn't matter much to these ancient beings!
After all, if he hadn't intervened, these ancient beings would already be dead!
What's the use of luck when you're dead?
But as long as they lived, what did it matter to start from scratch?
Human cultivators had always cultivated against the heavens. Without luck, they'd fight against humans, fight against the earth, and fight against the heavens!
"Boom!" With a resounding boom, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, it finally passed!
The huge suns representing the famine and drought of starvation seemed extremely unwilling, but they slowly merged back into one and then gradually shrank, returning to their original size.
The negative status effects caused by the burning energy attached to everyone disappeared as well!
The famine and drought of starvation had finally been overcome!
But...
He Yiming's cultivation not only fell back to the initial stage of the Heavenly Pill realm, but the realm of his Qing Emperor Eternal Body also regressed to the level of Minor Completion of the Heavenly Pill!
The players suffered even greater losses!
All the players from the third test dropped back to the initial stage of the World Boundary realm. The realm of their Qing Emperor Eternal Bodies also fell to Minor Completion of the World Boundary realm.
Many Heavenly Pill experts from the first and second tests also dropped back to the World Boundary realm.
What's worse, all the human players were severely depleted. Their cultivation and strength were almost entirely drained. Just being able to stand was already considered fortunate.
"Huff..." He Yiming slowly landed, and at the same time, he used the remaining strength in him to help the other five thousand plus players descend slowly.
"Most of the cultivation has been depleted. It's likely that it won't be possible to recover in a short time!" He Yiming sensed slightly and couldn't help but furrow his brows.
This wave of events basically left all human players in a crippled state.
The cultivation of the players from the third test was fine; which player didn't have a bunch of pills in their hands? They would be able to make up for it quickly.
But as for the realm of the Qing Emperor Eternal Body, they would only be able to re-cultivate it after returning to the Flame Sun Sect!
This meant that, within this grand secret realm, these human players were essentially crippled.
As for why he said "essentially"...
"Ming Bro, what do you mean by this?" 647
"Damn it, Ming Bro, why?"
...
Two human players hadn't suffered any loss at all!
One was the ancient pillar, Qianshou, and the other...
Super Pachitt, Vegeta!
These two initially intended to sacrifice everything themselves, but were forcefully stopped by He Yiming, sealing their
actions. Consequently, they essentially retained all their strength and cultivation without much loss.
"Qianshou, Vegeta..."
"Our Sect Master's losses are already too great... I'm afraid he won't be able to act anymore!"
"The three upcoming calamities will depend on the two of you to lead the Demon Race disciples and overcome the even more difficult three calamities!"
...
He Yiming slowly began to speak.
"!" Qianshou and Vegeta's expressions changed simultaneously.
Does this mean that except for the two of them, all the human players, including Ming Bro, have exhausted their strength and are almost crippled?
Doesn't that mean they've fallen into a super unfavorable predicament?
If it's like this, won't...
"Damn it, the era when I can act all high and mighty is finally here! If Qianshou, that old pillar, also falters, won't I be the star of the show as Super Pachitt, Vegeta?"
"Man, if this pillar, Qianshou, wimps out, then that group of newbies from the Demon Race are just small fry. This means it's going to be my personal show as Super Pachitt, Vegeta!"
...
Qianshou and Vegeta were instantly ignited!
"Ming Bro, leave it to me! You can rest assured and leave!"
"Aaahhhhhh!!!"
Qianshou and Vegeta both yelled out together, their excitement exploding.
He Yiming: "???"
