The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

The screen briefly went dark.

The next second, a clear sword sound rang out from the live broadcast room.

Next, you'll see the same login screen as Jiang Bo.

Chi Cheng originally wanted to continue joking with the comments, but upon seeing this opening, his voice subconsciously became a little softer.

"sure."

"The aroma came right away."

The comments section quickly shifted from the jade seal incident to discussions about the game.

[It's finally open!]

[I've waited a month, today I must cultivate immortality!]

Get started quickly, don't dawdle!

Your Majesty, your Sword Qi Continent awaits your arrival!

[The art style is amazing! The sense of oppression is incredible! It's unbeatable!]

[This is exactly what I wanted! The tragic grandeur of a post-apocalyptic world of cultivation!]

[Emperor Chi! Don't just stand there! Quickly draw your sword and join the fray! My greatsword is itching for battle!]

Chi Cheng first simply sculpted a square face for Coco.

Now it's time for the naming stage.

Without hesitation, Chi Cheng typed three large characters on the keyboard: 【Chi Tiandi】.

[Naming successful! Your character name is: Chi Tiandi]

Please choose your first opportunity.

On the screen, five clusters of light, each with a different shape, floated quietly in front of "Emperor Chi Tian," emitting an alluring glow.

Chi Cheng didn't rush to order. Instead, he leaned back strategically, picked up the milk tea on the table, took a sip, cleared his throat, and his eyes revealed a wise look that suggested he had seen it all.

"My dear ministers, do not panic. It is precisely in times like these that we must remain calm."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this game doesn't offer explicit class divisions; the initial opportunities you encounter are actually our hidden classes and talent trees!"

"Based on the elements from the animation just now, and according to my years of experience in the gaming industry, I have completely seen through the trump cards of these five orbs!"

Chi Cheng carefully circled the several orbs of light and slowly began to analyze them.

The first ray of light contained the faint silhouette of a broken sword.

"This is definitely the [Sword Soul Remnant] route! It's like being born with a master swordsman, which could very well mean faster leveling up!"

The second ray of light was an antique black ring.

The third beam of light revealed the shadow of a furry beast.

The fourth beam of light, a dazzling and magical artifact.

The fifth beam of light was extremely dim, almost like a transparent human figure.

Chi Cheng studied it carefully and found that the previous opportunities were nothing more than improving various cultivation speeds, material collection speeds, sword technique learning speeds, and so on.

But he didn't quite understand the last one.

He clicked on it directly.

[Personal Approach: Entering the Game Alone]

You will not receive any accompanying opportunities.

[Without the guidance of a remnant soul, without the assistance of a spirit pet, and without the company of a spiritual treasure.]

[The chance of breaking through a cultivation bottleneck increases]

"hiss……"

"Entering the game alone?"

"They're not giving you anything."

"Others start with an old man, a pet, and a baby, but I only have two hands."

The comments section immediately erupted in panic.

Then what are you still watching?

[Hurry up and choose a ring!]

Why pretend to be a pro when you have cheat codes?

[This opportunity seems to perfectly correspond to the various schools of cultivation novels: the old man school, the beast taming school, the magic weapon school, and the mortal school!]

Look at your own actions, and then look at the words "entering the game alone." Do you deserve it?

Chi Cheng leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

When he experienced "I Have Seen Dragons" before, he did not choose the path of spiritual manifestation.

When others encounter danger, they immediately call upon their ancestors to appear, but he used all the dragon energy he had painstakingly accumulated to refine his techniques and the Dragon Slayer Sword, and relied on himself to cut through the danger one sword at a time.

Although the early stages of that route were difficult and the growth rate was far slower than that of Xianling, Chi Cheng found it increasingly exhilarating as he progressed.

After all, no matter how strong the borrowed power is, it is not as reassuring as the power that is in your own hands.

Now, "I Have a Sword" presents him with a similar choice.

Chi Cheng sat up straight, his gaze gradually hardening.

"Brothers, I've made up my mind."

"This time, I've decided to rely on myself! According to the law of conservation of energy, if I suffer in the early stages, I'll definitely take off later!"

"And didn't you guys see this hidden attribute? It increases the breakthrough rate! This is incredibly important in the later stages of the game!"

"Besides, what's my name? Chi! Tian! Di!"

"Does the true Heavenly Emperor need some remnant old man to give orders? Does he need cats and dogs to help him fight? No!"

"Today I'll show you what true individual skill is!"

Chi Cheng gripped the mouse and moved the pointer without hesitation to the darkest spot, which represented the lack of any external assistance: the "Personal Route".

"Today, I will prove to the entire internet what true cultivation is! What true defying the heavens is! Without any special opportunities, I can still rely on my own two hands to carve through this Sword Qi Continent!"

"Click!"

Chi Cheng confirmed it directly.

You rejected the gifts offered by Heaven.

Once you choose your personal path, you will lose all assistance provided by any accompanying opportunities.

[Note: This route offers no early guidance or attribute bonuses. The cultivation world is incredibly cruel; are you sure you want to defy the Heavenly Dao with your mortal body?]

This selection cannot be changed. Confirm?

Seeing the blood-red warning line on the screen, Chi Cheng not only didn't back down, but became even more excited.

"Confirmed! A real man faces the harsh realities of life head-on!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"In my life, I have never needed the assistance of others!"

The comments section immediately filled with messages.

[Screenshot taken!]

[I hope you'll still be this hard in ten minutes.]

[It is recommended to include this sentence in the live stream title.]

[Old man: Okay, then I'll go find someone else.]

[Actually, you guys have to admit, the streamer's analysis here is pretty insightful. I'm thinking of making that choice too!]

The five beams of light vanished simultaneously.

With a blinding flash of white light, Chi Cheng's perspective officially entered the game.

There was no flashy entrance animation, nor did the old man with the ring whisper something in his ear: "Young man, I see you have extraordinary potential."

His character, dressed in patched-up burlap clothes, stood alone in a desolate, rain-soaked ruined square.

In the distance, towering mountains can be seen reaching into the clouds.

Several streaks of sword light occasionally flashed across the sky, disappearing into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds in an instant.

Nearby, raindrops pattered on the bluestone slabs, creating a realistic white noise that made his beginning seem incredibly bleak.

Zhuxi Village

[A typical village on the southeastern border of the Sword Qi Continent, nestled against the mountains and beside a river, with a total of seventy-three households.]

No one cultivates in the village, and the nearest sword sect is over a hundred miles away.

"Great, this level of immersion is excellent!"

Chi Cheng controlled Chi Tiandi to jump around in the puddle a couple of times, and looked at the splashing water with great admiration.

But he soon discovered a fatal problem.

Since he didn't choose a companion opportunity, he had no idea what to do next!

He walked around for a moment, and there were only a few other people like him wandering around, but no one paid him any attention. After all, the game had just been launched, and the time available at the beginning was very precious.

Chi Cheng stared at the screen for a few seconds.

Chi Cheng's screen was completely clean, without even a task guidance box!

"Where is my sect?"

"Wasn't it just Sword Qi Continent?"

"How come I've been banished to the countryside all of a sudden?"

The comments section erupted in laughter.

【That's perfectly normal. This is your personal route, which is perfectly reasonable in the village.】

[Hahaha! This is hilarious! Serves you right for showing off by choosing your own path! Now you're dumbfounded!]

[Your Majesty, what are you doing playing in the mud in the starting village? Where are the heavenly soldiers and generals?]

[Emperor Chi: Oh no, I'm lost.]

[It's alright, His Majesty has never asked for favors in his entire life!]
