Chapter 223: Chapter 69 The Grand Narrative of Long Xingtianxia_3

"This, I cannot admit, nor will I deny, but indeed, I do have some special connections."

Old Soil’s words were cryptic, yet the implications were quite clear.

"I won’t hide it from you, my goal is to slay the dragon and establish a nation, to unify the Nine States and establish an order that covers the entire game, where all players can safely and peacefully adventure without being bullied by the likes of the World Association or facing unfair treatment."

"Moreover, we will be able to organize players into groups for actions, even organizing large-scale player armies to sweep through monster lairs and dungeons, allowing players to maximize their safety while improving their skills and levels. Isn’t that great?"

"With the current random fighting style of gameplay, most players can only pick on little demons and monsters, struggling even to level up safely, which is incredibly inefficient. You must have some experience with this."

"I know, this future might sound quite dull and uninteresting, where is the thrill of heroic battles like Xia Yi the Unrivaled? Actually, Xia Yi the Unrivaled is not a bad person, I am well aware of that. Hence, I initially opted for expulsion."

"However, Xia Yi the Unrivaled’s actions can’t bring true harmony to the game. Today he might fight villains for his friend, but what if tomorrow someone else kills a good person in the same name? How can you be sure if he’s killing a good person or a bad one?"

"Then it’s hopeless, anyone could use that as a pretense to murder. Thus, as much as I respect Xia Yi the Unrivaled, what he’s been doing is absolutely wrong, so I had no choice but to expel him from my territory."

"Such a person is indeed a disruptor of order, and I hope you can understand this.""

"If left unchecked, the game environment will definitely evolve into a survival of the fittest, a law of the jungle scenario."

Xiao Jie couldn’t help but admit, Long Xingtianxia’s words made some sense.

As a veteran gamer, having encountered various game environments, particularly those dominated by powerful gaming studios, they often ended up as so-called cesspools where everyone tried to outdo each other in depravity.

"I understand, but why me? What are you telling me all this for, I’m just a Level 15 novice."

"Haha, Brother, do not sell yourself short. Level can be increased, experience can be gained, but personal strength is not something that can be measured by these external factors. Brother, you definitely have the potential to be a true powerhouse. Most people are destined to go with the flow, and those who really make history are always in the minority, but you are such a person."

"I’ve seen many players in this game, the World Association has bullied so many, why has no one stood up? Everyone thinks about their own interests."

"If they can avoid it, they do; if not, they join a major guild. No one wants to oppose the World Association, as opposing them brings no benefit, just needless trouble."

"Only you, Brother Feng, dare to stand up and fight against the World Association."

"Moreover, Brother, you are ruthless. I can see that. When necessary, you strike to kill. You went after the core figures of the World Association right from the start, dispersing them completely. Ordinary people cannot do what you’ve done."

"In the future, when I set out to slay the dragon and conquer the lands, there will be various challenges. A hero needs allies; without a few dependable brothers, it won’t work."

"Moreover, this person must understand when to be ruthless. Unifying the Nine States will inevitably lead to major battles, with hundreds or even thousands dying. Ordinary people might get scared, become hesitant, and falter at the critical moment. But I can see that you, Brother, are not that kind of person. For a truly harmonious world and genuine peace, you’ll surely do what needs to be done, knowing that some sacrifices are necessary."

"The saying goes, ’To perform thunderbolt actions with a compassionate heart,’ that is the principle."

Xiao Jie was astonished; Long Xingtianxia’s aspirations were indeed grand.

Moreover, he was not yet sure if he was a ruthless person, but Long Xingtianxia was definitely one, implying that he would not hesitate to see thousands die in order to achieve his own goals.

The mere picture he painted was enough to stir tumultuous feelings in anyone.

The great battle, tens of thousands of players and NPCs killing each other. Just thinking about it was exhilarating. If this were an ordinary game, he would have joined it without a second thought, uniting the Nine States together.

But this was a deadly game after all, and his goal was to obtain power, seek revenge, and pursue "Immortal and God."

Though aspiring for world dominance wasn’t completely conflicting, it wasn’t perfectly aligned either.

However, Long Xingtianxia seemed to have guessed his thoughts, "I know, doing all these will consume a lot of energy and time, but you should know, Old Soil being an online game, the more people, the greater the strength. With the support of a guild, whether it’s leveling, exploring new maps, or fighting bosses, all can be done more efficiently."

The current state of the game is very scattered, which actually limits the development and utilization of its content.

If we could truly achieve our goal and unite the world, then gathering the strength of all players in the game, what can’t be done? Even becoming immortals and gods might be within reach.

Perhaps by then, everyone will cooperate together, delve into the game’s deeper mechanics, and everyone can become an immortal, achieving ascension for all," he said.

Xiao Jie listened and despite being someone open to wild ideas, he was still stunned by Long Xingtianxia’s daring thoughts.

He didn’t immediately refuse, "I need to think about it."

"Ha, no worries, us Dragon Soaring Knights value likeminded fellowship, not coercion. Of course, it would be great if you could join. I am looking forward to it greatly. As long as you’re willing to join, you will start as a Sub-Branch Leader. And you know, our guild benefits are quite generous; we definitely take good care of our brothers. Take your time to consider," he added.

Watching Long Xingtianxia leave, Xiao Jie fell into deep thought.

"Heh heh, you aren’t seriously considering joining a second-rate guild, are you?" A voice, slightly mocking, suddenly rang by his ear.

Xiao Jie was startled, raising his head to see a new figure standing in front of him, a Taoist dressed in a gray robe.

Divine Calculation Sky Demon (Immortal Master): Level 36, Life Value 820.

Xiao Jie got a shock, Level 36! Damn, where did this expert come from?

He wasn’t too nervous, though; his elder brother was sleeping right beside him.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked.

"That Long Xingtianxia plays quite well, but his vision is still too narrow, obsessing only over mundane, worldly affairs, eventually finding a lesser path. This game has immortals, demons, and gods. Secular power, even if established, is nothing more than a sandcastle on the beach, binding some ordinary people but meaningless to the true strong. Only a few can comprehend the real secrets of this game — and now you have such an opportunity."

"Let me introduce myself, Pantheon member — Divine Calculation Sky Demon, nice to meet you, Hidden Moon Following Wind," he said.
