Chapter 895 The Invincible Man (12)

The cicadas were chirping loudly, the sun was shining brightly, the river under the small bridge was flowing quietly, and the melons in the melon field looked even more robust because no one was picking them.

The cultivators in the Refining Pavilion stopped promoting their magical artifacts, and the cultivators in the Peaceful Realm stopped carrying bricks and refining pills. Time seemed to stand still throughout the entire Nine Provinces, and everyone slowed down.

The day the Grand Tournament officially began was the quietest day in Kyushu.

The streets were deserted. The Refining Pavilion and the Qiming Sect, usually bustling with tourists, were practically empty. The restaurants were almost empty, with only the sword light of the Zhengyi Sect constantly flashing, delivering other people's meals to their rooms.

In contrast to the desolation of reality, the Divine Power Network was bustling with activity.

In the relevant discussion forums of the Dao Forum, the discussion of "We Become Buddhas" has always been popular. Xue Cheng and others have to keep opening new forums in order to divert a large number of posts and prevent them from sinking to the bottom as soon as they appear.

Once the competition officially began, a flood of players filled the live stream room. The order in which the registered players competed was determined in a certain way, and they were then randomly assigned to different gatekeepers to compete.

The live streams of the various gatekeepers were already packed with players watching the spectacle. Tens of thousands of gatekeepers formed the first major obstacle to Wang Jiu's challenge, eliminating some players of average skill.

Countless people with dreams come here to sign up for the competition, hoping to demonstrate their abilities through victory and then soar to great heights.

But in reality, they were swept away by the gatekeeper with a smooth combo as soon as they appeared, without any hesitation.

Even before someone had revealed their skills, some low-quality, overly aggressive gatekeepers immediately mocked them: "Sevenfold Buddha Nature, you've created seven small skills, and you have neither attack nor defense. You're not fast enough to block for your teammates when charging with a kitchen knife, and you're not tanky enough. What does this character show besides your extremely poor team composition skills? Do you think your even more incompetent teammates would even let you out?"

Many people were openly humiliated in the live broadcast room. Their dreams were crushed before they could even take flight, and in the end, they could only go home crying and sell sweet potatoes.

Such an important competition naturally needs a host to liven up the atmosphere.

In the official live stream room, Qingluan and Baiye, the pair, reunited to prepare for the live stream of this grand competition.

Bai Ye's attire was still luxurious, but she looked worried and had a hint of sorrow in her expression.

Before it officially started, she even sighed for a long time, leaving everyone wondering what was wrong with her.
Seeing this, Qingluan asked with concern, "Baiye, what's wrong? Are you worried about Lin Yuan?"

Bai Ye frowned and shook his head: "No, it's related to Wang Jiu."

"What does this have to do with Wang Jiu? Don't you hate Wang Jiu the most?"

"That's why I'm unhappy. Tell me, how can there be such a huge difference between people?"

"What did you sense? Is Wang Jiu in trouble?"

"No, it's just that I feel Wang Jiu's popularity is too high, and I'm really unhappy about it. And I have to cooperate with him in promoting his products, which makes me even more unhappy."

Pointing at Wang Jiu in the live stream, Bai Ye's displeasure was written all over his face. "Look at Wang Jiu now, he's not pretending anymore, his temper isn't so bad, he talks less, and he's even become more handsome. How come I never noticed before that Wang Jiu was actually quite handsome?"

"Back then, he was a renowned handsome man in the Wanfa Sect, someone the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect dreamed of obtaining. It's just a pity that his taste was too bad; a pair of mustaches sealed half of his face, and the other half was sealed by his mouth."

"Oh, is that so? No wonder he stopped talking. My desire to kill him has lessened considerably; it turns out that's why."

"You just didn't want to kill him..."

After staring at him for a while, Bai Ye said, "And his gaming skills are pretty good! I've also made some progress in 'We Become Buddhas,' so I can tell that Wang Jiu's strength is indeed extraordinary. What does this guy eat? How did he grow such good skills?"

"He's from the Myriad Laws Sect, so isn't it normal for him to have this kind of skill?"

"That's why I hate good students. Okay, let's begin."

"Are you sure you can handle this? Don't go around saying Wang Jiu is worthless; that would be bad for our promotion."

Waving his hand dismissively, Bai Ye explained, "Who do you take me for? I'm the Heavenly Dao Messenger, the White Dragon Sect's official broadcaster! I'm a professional at this! Just you wait and see. Camera, zoom in!"

As soon as the assistant announced the start of the live stream, Bai Ye immediately put on a professional smile.

"Hello everyone, this is the official righteous faction venue of 'We Become Buddhas'. I am the host Bai Ye, and this is my partner Qing Luan. Although I am already a Nascent Soul expert, Immortal Master Qing Luan is still willing to do a live broadcast with me. She is indeed a good Nascent Soul expert who is close to the masses."

Qingluan was startled by Bai Ye's sudden change of expression, but she immediately said, "Hello everyone. This is the dedicated live stream room for this competition, and all information will be disclosed here. This live stream room will focus on broadcasting Wang Jiu's final match. If there isn't one, we will broadcast some other highly anticipated matches. As you can see, Wang Jiu's live stream room is quite quiet right now, and Wang Jiu himself seems to be resting. Let's read some viewer comments. First, there's an anonymous user whose question is why this competition uses Buddhist games."

“That’s a good question,” Bai Ye continued. “Although many people still have some prejudice against the Buddhist Kingdom, some of its Buddhist teachings are still worth learning from. For example, the method of reincarnation is quite suitable for cultivators in the Nine Provinces; this supernatural power could potentially bring great help to the Nine Provinces. Moreover, understanding Buddhism is actually a way to understand how the world works from a different perspective. Integration and understanding are the fundamental characteristics of the people of the Nine Provinces; blind xenophobia is actually a sign of insecurity. Besides, they’re already playing games; isn’t that the Nine Provinces? Next question.”

"When will Qingluan and Wuyue get married...? Next question."

"I'm guessing it's been five years... and you guys are still playing here. Ask me something related to the game."

"I think it'll be ten years, and they'll get married in the game. It's related to the game, but not to the current game. Next... wait, a challenger has appeared. This is a team formed by the Feng Clan Chamber of Commerce, called the Little Divine Beast Team, with members Bai Ze, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Bi'an. Being the first to successfully challenge the gatekeeper shows they have some strength and live up to their name. They went up, and they launched a righteous attack on Wang Jiu. They're all dead!"

The first match ended abruptly right after it began, leaving only Wang Jiu's character floating around in the live stream.

Looking at that desolate figure, Qingluan, for some reason, thought of a sentence:

Being invincible is truly a bit lonely.
