Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

"Buzz!~~~~" Without realizing it, Lin Mu felt his whole body become chaotic.

At that moment, a familiar system notification rang in his ears. In a blur, he seemed to hear words like "founding of the nation" and "Luoyang," but he couldn't think straight… In his mind's eye, he seemed to have said something…

Then, a series of dragon roars resounded... Not only that, he seemed to feel surrounded by dazzling purple energy... and... a comfortable feeling of being enveloped in golden light... even beneath his feet, it seemed that many strange powers were surging and rising...

However, what Lin Mu was unaware of was that his transformation had triggered a widespread panic in the mythical world's China region and in the real world...

At the same time, in Luoyang, the capital city still shrouded in darkness after being ravaged by lightning, a dazzling purple aura shot into the sky, followed by a golden light, and then a hazy gray pillar of light... making the entire city of Luoyang dazzling with three colors, as if it were daytime.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Thunder rumbled in the cloudless sky.

Such an unusual phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of countless spies.

After the thunderstorm passed, the spies risked their lives to flood into the capital city of Luoyang, hoping to gather the latest intelligence.

But after several beams of light shot into the sky, the spies still inside the city were swept away by a terrifying energy storm and then vanished into thin air!

Meanwhile, in real time, tens of thousands of nutrient pods or helmets scattered across various locations emitted a terrifying gray aura. Immediately afterward, the players lying in the nutrient pods or wearing the helmets turned into ashes as the gray aura appeared... eternally reduced to nothingness!
Such a terrifying event immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Many of these were spies from the national teams, and naturally, there were also spies from major clans and guilds. The instant annihilation of tens of thousands of people immediately caused widespread panic.

News about it quickly spread on forums, Battle.net, and other online platforms; it was impossible to hide it. Some relatives of the players who were reduced to ashes even livestreamed the surveillance footage, spreading this horrific story.

There was absolutely no need for any fanfare; this matter immediately topped the trending charts.

After much discussion, the truth finally came out!

The strange phenomenon in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, directly killed 38,765 players, their bodies in the mythological world and their bodies in the real world were gone!
Most importantly, these players are all from the China region...

Originally, due to various miraculous events, players regarded the mythical world as a second world, and believed it to be a world that could change their destiny...

After the previous Soul Devastation incident and this time, which resulted in the instant annihilation of 38,765 players, is the mythical world truly a wonderful world?
A sense of panic suddenly spread.

As a result, nearly 90% of the billions of players logged off immediately after learning the truth!

They were scared!

Even though they knew that the players died because they entered the post-apocalyptic capital city of Luoyang, they were still afraid...

This includes countless people in power... They need to reassess the risks!
Even within Lin Mu's Muhuang Group and Dahuang Guild, countless players logged off...

Managers like Zhou Zhenya and Hua Guo were unable to stop it, nor would they have tried to do so at this time... Fortunately, it was the boss, Lin Mu, who forcefully ordered them all to stay away from Luoyang, the capital city; otherwise, some of their own people would surely have died!

In fact, when the thunderstorm occurred, there was no one left in Luoyang City. Many people knew that the capital city of Luoyang might be destroyed, so they had all fled long ago.

Even after the storm, some reckless individuals still ventured in… ultimately leading to the tragedy…

In order to stabilize the overall situation, all parties gathered together at the first opportunity to quickly decide on countermeasures, and then worked together to implement them, stabilizing the people's hearts and minds as quickly as possible.

But that sense of panic still lingered, and the online player rate in the China region remained at only 7%...

Of course, people in other regions would exaggerate and spread the word about this, even going so far as to claim that the China region was about to be wiped out...

Originally, this kind of thing, driven by certain people, could very well have shifted the blame onto Lin Mu. Although they didn't know that Lin Mu was really the instigator, they didn't care about the truth as long as Lin Mu was on the opposite side of the people... However, because the matter was too complicated, some people with ulterior motives were about to fan the flames when they were directly stopped by the national team, the major clans and guilds!
It's not about protecting the forests and livestock; it's simply about prioritizing the overall social situation!

Inside a secluded room of the Muhuang Group, Zhou Zhenya and Ji Shiting looked at everyone with exhausted expressions.

Ji Shiting asked in a low voice, "Still can't get in touch?"

"Can't get in touch!" Hua Guo shook his head and replied. His face was full of anxiety.

“We can’t contact him in the game, and in reality, Xiao Mu’s nutrient tank is also enveloped by that strange gray aura… but there is also purple and golden aura in it… it should be that the purple and golden aura is protecting Xiao Mu from harm,” Zhou Zhenya said quietly.

Five hours have passed since the news spread in just ten minutes.

For those five hours, they endured a very tough battle to defend themselves.

Of course, this attack was not against the enemy, but rather against the series of consequences triggered by that panic.

Although things seem to have stabilized on the outside, undercurrents are surging.

The Muhuang Group has been surrounded by the national team. If it weren't for any concerns, they would have rushed in and taken control long ago.

As high-ranking members, the national team showed them respect by not restricting their freedom, allowing them to come and go as they pleased and handle urgent matters.

"I wonder what happened in the scene the boss was involved in. I hope the culprit isn't the boss... otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Ning Xinhua prayed. "What I hope for most right now is that Xiao Mu is alright... sigh!" Zhou Zhenya sighed softly, her dark eyes filled with concern.

"Alright, we can't interfere with anything else, it's up to Xiao Mu himself. Everyone's been busy all night, so go and get some rest," Zhou Zhenya said encouragingly, standing up.

The others nodded in agreement. They had done their best and fulfilled their responsibilities; the rest was up to Lin Mu.

Afterwards, everyone left the secret room and went to the lounge. A hint of apprehension lingered on their faces as they left…

Killing tens of thousands of people in an instant...it's terrifying!!
In a building opposite the Muhuang Group, Xia Hu and his group were also spotted.

They looked at the Muhuang Group across from them, their faces filled with complex emotions.

Their mythical world had already broken through to the divine level, but that terrifying, hazy aura still made them feel uneasy.

That's not something we can fight head-on at this stage!
"How is the situation?" Sword King Xia Hu asked in a low voice.

"Nothing has changed," Zhang Hongde, the Sword King, said quietly.

"Even after something like this happened, Lin Mu hasn't shown up. It seems he's either in trouble or still in Luoyang, the capital," Xia Hu sighed.

"Could this really have been orchestrated by Lin Mu?" Zhang Hongde asked cautiously.

Even if he were the emperor of China, he wouldn't dare to discuss such matters casually...

“I have a feeling it’s related to him, but based on past experience, Lin Mu wouldn’t do something like this on his own initiative. Something unpredictable must have happened.” Xia Hu narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully.

After speaking, he looked towards the street, which was now bustling with activity. All sorts of shops were open, and some long-lost food stalls had reappeared. The lively, smoky aroma of food filled the street once more…

Perhaps this panic is a test... perhaps an opportunity for everyone to return to normal life...

However, the allure of the mythological world is too great, and returning to normal life is impossible!

“Now, there isn’t a single player left within a hundred miles of Luoyang, the capital city…” Gun King Jin Beichao said quietly.

"Not only that, but in many cities in Sili, and even in cities in other prefectures, players have left and are staying in the wild..." sighed Liu Ye, the King of the North.

“This is far more terrifying than the Soul Devastation incident… I wonder if something like this will happen again…” Knife King Zhang Hongde said with a gloomy expression.

Upon hearing this, the others remained silent, for they had no way of predicting what might happen that was even more terrible...

But they knew that what was happening in places like Antarctica had exceeded many expectations, and that even the most bizarre and terrifying things could happen!

"Do you want to log in?" Sword King Xia Hu asked quietly after a moment of silence.

"Let's wait a bit... I'm afraid some guys might come and attack the Muhuang Group without thinking," Gun King Jin Bei said, waving his hand.

Everyone else nodded and didn't mention logging into the mythical world again.

Because the national team directly intervenes in all matters, both macroscopically and microscopically, no major problems have occurred so far, which shows the importance the national team attaches to and the depth of its strength.

……

In the mythical world, outside the capital city of Luoyang, some of the native spies who had been left out to provide support belatedly learned of what had happened inside the city and reported it to their respective lords.

Currently, in Luoyang, the capital city, only the feudal lord Lin Mu remains, and everything that happens is related to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu must have done something to cause such a dramatic change.

The anticipated destruction of the city and loss of life did not occur, which already made some people uneasy.

The purple pillar of light is auspicious purple energy!

The golden pillar of light is a testament to the merits of heaven and earth!

The hazy pillar of light signifies destiny!

These three things are all top-tier, yet they have all appeared at the same time...

Even if Lin Mu had suppressed that ancestral dragon vein, this situation would never have occurred.

Lin Mu, I wonder what he's done this time!
Has his strength and foundation changed? (End of Chapter)
