This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 375, Second Phase of the Event—Suppression of the Qilin

The Black Source Peach Blossoms were on full display, allowing non-server players to attack the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast without any regard for the consequences.

Is he simply unwilling to get involved?

He's beyond control!

The helpers from the West Coast server have already retreated, while the sinister forces from the Chinese server are still lurking. With powerful enemies outside and useless people inside, this game is unplayable.

The most crucial thing now is not how to save the Asian server, but how to shift the blame.

He's over sixty years old, and has lived from the last century to this century, weathering many storms along the way. You could say no one knows how to shift blame better than him.

The entire cross-server communication event was recorded.

Did he fight?

He fought.

Did he chicken out?
He didn't back down!
He dedicated himself to the Asian server to the utmost, and he can't possibly bear the blame for being eliminated.

Why was it eliminated?
This is not my fault, it's all Lee Jin-sung's fault in Han-gu!
I have video evidence!

Li Zhenxing remained invisible throughout the entire battle and died instantly at the start, causing the Asia server to lose a top-tier fighter.

No matter what the fault is, it's all Li Zhenxing's fault, and has nothing to do with him.

Kurogen Taimo has already planned that an apology press conference will be held, with three bows, one dogeza (a traditional Chinese kowtow), and then a video recording will be released.

I'm over sixty years old, and I really can't stand being cyberbullied by hundreds of millions of trolls. Let Li Zhenxing take the blame for this.

Li Zhenxing is a young and innocent puppy, no match for the cunning and shrewd Heiyuan Taitao.

Kurogen Taimo was already thinking about how to shift the blame, while Li Zhenxing was still in a state of panic.

"Apologize?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenxing's face turned deathly pale. Forgetting about the slap he had just received, he looked at Heiyuan Taitao and stammered, "I... this... the Asian server's loss has nothing to do with me. Why should I apologize?"

Can this sin be atoned?
No need to thank me!

He's a K-pop idol, a god-like face for eight thousand years, and the young tiger of Asia. If he apologizes for this, wouldn't his image collapse?
I don't want to apologize to all the players on the server, please help me!
"None of your business? That's precisely why you need to apologize!"

Heiyuan Taitao looked at Li Zhenxing with a mocking expression: "What contribution did you make to the entire cross-server exchange event? You just fed kills when the non-servers invaded, you didn't play any role at all. If you don't apologize, who should apologize?"

"I"

Li Zhenxing blushed deeply, stammered, and couldn't speak, filled with regret.

He recalled all his actions during the cross-server communication event, trying to find a highlight to refute Heiyuan Taitao, but he couldn't find one.

At the start, I encountered Nangong Wentian and was forcefully driven away.

While collecting Qilin Jade, he encountered Jiang Liu and was killed by a single sword strike.

While guarding the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, I accidentally wandered into a group of pure black players and was beaten to death, lying down for ten minutes.

During the first phase of the cross-server exchange event, he was either defeated or killed. If he doesn't apologize, who should?
Recalling all his actions during the cross-server event, Li Zhenxing couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. He opened his mouth, but replied without any confidence, "I'm trying my best too!"

"I've tried so hard, why are you still lecturing me?"

"I know I didn't do well, but I've tried so hard, can't you say something nice?"

"I feel like I've grown a lot, and as long as we can advance to the second stage, I'm sure I can have some highlight moments!"

"Believe me!"

Kurogen Taimo: "."

Kurogen Taimo rolled her eyes at Li Zhenxing and sneered, "I want to believe you too, but it's no use telling me. You have to tell them!"

As he spoke, he pointed towards the chaotic battlefield.

Li Zhenxing glanced at it and immediately fell silent.

On the ground, players from non-server factions were besieging the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, while players from the White Bear faction were chasing after players from the Asia server. In the sky, two Nascent Soul Grand Perfection players from the Celestial Dynasty faction were watching the show.

He wanted to prove himself, but it seems he has no chance now.

The Black Source Peach Blossoms have been sold out. Li Zhenxing is filled with regret. There are fewer and fewer players on the Asian server. The ground is covered with tombstones.

In the silence, time slowly passed until system announcements began flooding the screen.

[System Announcement: The White Tiger Divine Beast in the West Coast server has been successfully restored to its perfect state. The West Coast server has advanced to the second phase of the cross-server exchange event.]

[System Announcement: The White Tiger Divine Beast in the West Coast server has been successfully restored to its perfect state. The West Coast server has advanced to the second phase of the cross-server exchange event.]

[System Announcement: The White Tiger Divine Beast in the West Coast server has been successfully restored to its perfect state. The West Coast server has advanced to the second phase of the cross-server exchange event.]

Three long system announcements were sent in quick succession, filling the entire screen and causing Hei Yuan Tai Tao and Li Zhen Xing's hearts to sink to the bottom of the sea.

The first major server to advance has already emerged; will the second be far behind?
Two minutes later.

[System Announcement: The Azure Dragon Divine Beast in the Celestial Dynasty server has been successfully restored to its perfect state. The second phase of the Celestial Dynasty server advancement event has begun.]

The second major server to advance has emerged!

There's only one spot left!

The activity panel displays this.

[Azure Dragon Divine Beast (Celestial Dynasty Server): 100% (Upgraded)]

[White Tiger Divine Beast (West Coast Server): 100% (Upgraded)]

[Black Tortoise Divine Beast (Non-Server): 76%]

[Vermilion Bird Divine Beast (Asia Server): -98%]

Unsurprisingly, the third spot should go to someone from the non-server region.

The Asian server players have all been wiped out, leaving only Heiyuan Taitao and Li Zhenxing alive, who were completely ignored.

The KGB and Da Jindi, who were not in service, were too lazy to attack the two of them, so they focused their attacks on the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.

"There won't be any surprises."

Ye Longying glanced at the ruins of the Asia server area, then turned and left.

"I'm going back."

Jiang Liu didn't linger long and returned with Ye Longying, quite disappointed.

Originally, I wanted to dominate the Asian server region, but unexpectedly, players from other servers stole my kills.

I ran around and didn't really do anything. I just killed some players from the Asia server and instantly killed a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection player from the West Coast server. That's all.

hateful!

It's all my fault for not being able to fight back! I didn't even get a chance to make a move!
Jiang Liu returned to the Heavenly Dynasty server area, quite annoyed.

The Celestial Empire clothing area.

General Yang was leading the Taiyao tribe's Taiye City to guard the Azure Dragon Divine Beast. When he saw Ye Longying and Jiang Liu return safely, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was against Ye Longying and Jiang Liu causing trouble for the non-servers. Wouldn't it be better to just honestly protect their own divine beasts and steadily advance to the next stage?
But Jiang Liu and Ye Longying were determined to do things their own way, and he couldn't stop them, so he could only stay home and guard the house.

hateful!

I, an old man, also want to annihilate those players in the Japanese server who are living comfortably!
While envious, he was also worried about the safety of Jiang Liu and Ye Longying, fearing that the two might die in a foreign land.

Both of them are top players in the Chinese server, especially Ye Longying, who is the number one combatant in the Chinese server and the lord of the Demonic Night City.

If Ye Longying dies in the Asia server region, Taiye City will definitely riot, which is definitely not what he wants to see.

Now that the two have returned safely, he can finally relax. An older man can't keep up with younger people; this team is too difficult to manage.

"Did the two of you make progress on the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast?"

General Yang asked Ye Longying and Jiang Liu with some curiosity.

Being in the Chinese server region, he had no idea what was happening in the Asian server region and could only judge the situation in the Asian server region through the event panel.

Good heavens, the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast in the Asia server has been reduced to a negative value, which greatly surprised him.

Are the players on the Asia server really that bad that they managed to reduce the progress bar of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast to a negative number with just two people?
"No."

Ye Longying shook her head and replied with a bored expression, "I'm a player from a non-server."

"Non-server players arrived even faster than the two of us, leaving us no chance to intervene."

"The Asia server is trash. It got thrashed by players from other servers. If they hadn't called for backup from the West Coast server, they probably would have been wiped out."

She was quite speechless. If she hadn't seen Li Zhenxing at the end, she would have thought that there was only one Nascent Soul Grand Perfection player in the entire Asia server.

Did the second Nascent Soul Grand Perfection player on the Asia server get lost? Why did they only appear at the very end?

Li Zhenxing: I wasn't lost, I was already lying down before you arrived.

"The West Coast server got involved?"

Upon hearing this, General Yang frowned slightly, thinking it was somewhat expected.

Given the relationship between the Asia server and the West Coast server, it's quite normal for the West Coast server to help the Asia server.

However, even with the help of the West Coast server, the Asia server still lost, presumably because Ye Longying and Jiang Liu played a crucial role.

If you think about it that way, then their misdeeds did have an effect.

Eliminating the Asia server eliminates the possibility of the Asia server and the West Coast server joining forces against the China server in subsequent events.

The non-server's advancement is the result he most wants to see. There are White Bear players on the non-server, and they will definitely not join forces with the West Coast server.

The next activity will be 1v1v1!
As long as it's a 1v1, the Chinese server isn't afraid of any major server!

He has already seen the path to victory in this cross-server exchange event!
Thinking of this, a stiff smile appeared on General Yang's stern face as he nodded to Ye Longying and Jiang Liu: "Well done, you two can go and rest now."

Yoru Oboro Sakura: "??????"

Jiang Liu: “????”

You think you're treating us like your subordinates?
Not only Ye Longying and Jiang Liu returned, but Nangong Wentian and his two companions, who had been wandering outside, also returned.

Taiyao Division, Taiye City, Jiang Liu, and Nangong Wentian, the Poison King, each occupy a corner of the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, awaiting advancement to the second stage of the event.

"Hahahaha!"

"Massive profit! Massive profit!"

The Poison King looked at his backpack full of magical artifacts and grinned so hard his mouth was crooked.

He and Nangong Wentian moved between different areas, not caring about collecting Qilin Jade, but starting challenge missions as soon as they saw Qilin Jade.

While others were collecting Qilin Jade, these two were doing challenges and getting rewards; while others were fighting, they were still getting rewards.

Of the four major servers, none of them earned more than the two of them!

"Shhh."

Nangong Wentian glared at the Poison King and said in a low voice, "Can't you be a little more discreet?"

"They are fighting for the greater good, while we are fighting for our own personal interests. Aren't you afraid they will try to force you to share the profits by making such a high-profile move?"

Upon hearing Nangong Wentian's warning, the Poison King hurriedly covered his mouth.

Yes, that's right, keeping a low profile is key, and making a fortune quietly is the way to go.

"Brother Tian, ​​isn't this a bad idea?"

Nangong Wensheng said with a look of shame, "We didn't contribute anything to the cross-server exchange activities. If word gets out, we'll get criticized."

"Who says we haven't contributed anything?"

Nangong Wentian glared at him, then said calmly, "I've already decided. In the second phase of the event, we'll be the vanguard!"

"Whatever the task in the second phase may be, we will go all out to contribute to the Celestial Empire!"

"If we play well in the second phase, who will remember what we did in the first phase?"

Upon hearing Nangong Wentian's words, the Poison King and Nangong Wensheng looked enlightened and nodded in agreement.

The first stage is about money; the second stage is about fame!
He manages to win both money and fame; no wonder he was once ranked third in the entire server—he's incredibly astute!

After a short rest, the third system announcement finally sounded.

[System Announcement: The Xuanwu Divine Beast on the non-server has been successfully restored to its perfect state, and the non-server has advanced to the second phase of the cross-server exchange event]

[System Announcement: The Asia server failed to restore the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast to its perfect state and has been eliminated from the cross-server exchange event]

As expected, the last spot was for a non-server player.

No one knows what the Asian server players were thinking when they left the cross-server event, and nobody cares.

Because the second phase of the event has already begun!

[System Announcement: The West Coast server, the Chinese server, and non-Chinese servers have successfully advanced to the second stage of the event]

[System Announcement: The second phase of the cross-server event—the Suppression of the Qilin—will begin in five minutes. Please check the event panel for details.]

Qilin suppressing?

All the players, filled with curiosity, clicked on the event interface in the upper right corner of their view.

[Cross-server exchange event, second phase - Qilin suppression]

[Stage Introduction: The four divine beasts on Qilin Island were sealed by the Qilin Divine Beast. Now, three of them have broken free, enraging the Qilin Divine Beast. Only one divine beast is allowed on the entire Qilin Island, and that is me, the Qilin Divine Beast!]

[Phase Content: The Qilin Divine Beast will personally suppress the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, White Tiger Divine Beast, and Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, which have recovered to their perfect state, until they are resealed]

[Stage Mission: Protect the server's divine beast from the suppression of the Qilin]

[Advancement Requirements: Successfully protect the server's divine beast until one of the divine beasts is resealed (the server with the resealed divine beast will be eliminated)]

[Stage Rewards: Successfully withstanding the attack of the Qilin Divine Beast will grant all players on the server a protection reward (the more times you successfully defend, the richer the reward)]

[Countdown to start of phase: 4 minutes 11 seconds]

"Is the second phase no longer player vs. player?"

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised after reading the introduction to the second phase of the event.

He thought the cross-server event was all PVP gameplay, but he didn't expect there to be a PVE mode as well.

The second phase of the mission is also simple: the Qilin Divine Beast will attack the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, White Tiger Divine Beast, and Black Tortoise Divine Beast from the three major servers.

To advance to the next stage, you must protect your own mythical beast.

If one of the three mythical beasts falls, the remaining two servers can advance to the final stage.

This time, the battle isn't about offense, but defense.

The key is to figure out how to better protect your own mythical beast from the powerful attack of the Qilin, compared to other servers.

Ok?
How can you better protect your mythical beast compared to other servers?

Jiang Liu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: if he killed all the players from other servers, wouldn't their divine beasts be left unprotected?
A mythical beast left unguarded must die the fastest, right?
