Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Half an hour later, a private forum overseas, which was full of Chinese gamers from overseas, appeared.

Xu Guang posted: "Dear experts, I just encountered something. I ordered takeout, but the food container was empty. I initially thought the delivery owner had made a mistake, so I called and yelled at them. Then I ordered from another restaurant, but the food container was still empty. Do you know what this means?"

The fact that the Empire was going to open the Lu Palace instance could not be kept secret on the game forums, nor could it be kept secret on the external network. It was immediately pushed to the top of the hottest posts. Everyone was watching the Empire's every move, and they also wanted to see the Empire's true strength in terms of extraordinary power this time.

The post received a reply very quickly.

Hymn of Freedom: Excluding the possibility that you're just unlucky, the Empire has found you. Those two delivery guys are probably from the relevant departments; they've given you two warnings.

Upon seeing this reply, Xu Guang turned pale with fright. He quickly replied, "So fast? But the Old Earth Game is a game of gods and demons, played all over the world. How could the Empire possibly have player information?"

Hymn of Freedom: Hehe.

He clearly didn't want to continue explaining to the idiot, since the idiot wouldn't live much longer anyway.

Another post replied: An empty lunchbox reminds me of a story. Cao Cao sent Xun Yu an empty lunchbox, and then Xun Yu "committed suicide". So, OP... remember to send me your external bank card password. It's not of any use anyway. I'll burn more for you next year during the Qingming Festival.

This post terrified Xu Guang so much that his body went limp.

What the hell did I do to deserve being shot eight times and committing suicide?

Doesn't the empire not follow the American model?

There were some comforting words below: It's certain that the Empire has discovered you, but they haven't taken any action yet, only issued a warning. Perhaps they're giving you a chance because the legal provisions are still unclear. Things shouldn't happen more than three times. You should probably think about what you've done recently and how to make amends.

Xu Guang immediately grasped at this straw, and he hurriedly tried to figure out what he had done wrong.

The Empire warned him, presumably because he had joined the Lu Palace and caused trouble for the Empire at such a crucial time, but he had not yet caused any real harm, so the Empire was only issuing a warning.

Suddenly, Xu Guang had a flash of inspiration and found the post he had made.

I didn't eat your rice!

It's connected! Everything's linked together!

He instantly realized the true terror of the empire; the empire had the power to ensure he could never eat a single grain of rice!

People shouldn't only acknowledge their mother when they're eating!

Xu Guang quickly replied below, "Brother, I spoke a little loudly just now, can I take it back? This scourge of the Lu Palace should be resolutely eliminated. Brother, do you need any more inside agents? I'll bring my own provisions!"

These kinds of posts keep appearing in the replies to Ao Peng's posts, and those who give negative comments have encountered inexplicable things.

Some people ran out of rice, others ran out of cloth, and those who cursed the most had their game characters die instantly.

Ao Peng is not the producer of cause and effect; he is merely the carrier of cause and effect.

These causes and effects are the cause and effect between those who practice verbal conduct and the fate of the empire.

They must now repay all the benefits they previously gained from the empire's fortunes through their own words.

Of course, as a collective of humanitarian consciousness here, the Imperial State is still tolerant of its own disobedient children. So although the process was bizarre, it was more of a warning than a direct killing.

Ao Peng looked at the old earth game, and the game's prompts kept updating.

[You have successfully used the Verse of Attaining Enlightenment through Speech on a large scale, persuading thousands of people and influencing the decisions of tens of thousands. Your proficiency in the Verse of Attaining Enlightenment through Speech has increased by 1000. Your fame resounds in both the Old World and the Real World.]

You have been awarded the title, Compassionate Adviser.

[Compassionate Adviser] (Mysterious-level title)

Wearing this title will earn you favor with lawful and neutral people, and your words will be significantly more effective.

Not bad!

Ao Peng's face lit up with joy. The title "Compassionate Adviser" could enhance the effect of his words. If he learned a supernatural power similar to "words become law" in the future, he would also be enhanced by this title!

At the same time, due to the reversal in Ao Peng's post, neutral players instantly saw the direction of the tide.

The people who were initially shouting and cursing all turned around and admitted their mistakes within half an hour.

If it were just a few dozen people, you could say the Empire was putting on a show, but with thousands of players, everyone who was criticizing them ended up admitting their mistakes in the comments.

That means even if it's a double act, the Empire has the ability to get everyone to sing along!

The players immediately abandoned their ulterior motives and spontaneously formed teams.

Among them, those who had been severely punished before were the most eager to show their loyalty.

For example, Xu Guang directly posted a complaint accusing the Lu Palace of not treating players like human beings over the past few months. He argued that the Empire's current annihilation of the Lu Palace was not only for the safety of everyone in the real world, but also for the fairness of the game environment.

Evil and wicked forces like the Lu Palace should be dealt a heavy blow and eradicated!

He wrote with heartfelt devotion, even recalling the stern gaze of his elementary school Chinese teacher as he wrote!

Conquering cities is inferior to conquering hearts and minds.

The players recruited by the Lu Palace turned against them right there inside, and kept leaking key coordinates and information to the outside world.

This is the terror of the players; the Fourth Calamity truly lives up to its name.

One moment you can be happily assigning him a task, the next he'll be wielding a knife and beheading you. After all, they're not afraid of dying in the game!

The Empire responded swiftly, posting that anyone who contributed to the attack on the Lu Palace would receive incense, cash, goods, and game resources after verification and registration. If the Lu Palace, a feudal lord who had been dead for countless years, could afford it, how could the Empire, which possesses all of China, not?

Taking advantage of the players inside the Lu Palace starting to defect, players from the Empire organization in the old Earth game also launched a large-scale attack!

In the real world, Ao Peng and Mo Lao led a team of eight hundred people, with Qin An as backup, and arrived at the entrance of the Lu King's Palace underground palace that had already been excavated.

Inside, a chilling wind howled, accompanied by the wails of countless ghosts and wolves, as if a gigantic maw from the underworld could devour all living things.

Master Mo glanced at Ao Peng and smiled, "Disciple, watch carefully."

This was a great opportunity to demonstrate the power of his art, and he certainly wouldn't let it pass him by.

So he took out a huge landscape painting from the storage space and then unfolded it in front of him.

"By the decree of the Chinese people, the Five Sacred Mountains obey my command, and all lands of the four directions shall come!"

The abundant and majestic primordial energy formed five earth dragons, which surged forth from them. Then, the dragons meandered and coiled to land, forming five illusory mountain shadows.

Mount Tai is majestic, Mount Hua is precipitous, Mount Heng is beautiful, Mount Heng is wondrous, and Mount Song is mysterious. The Five Sacred Mountains form a peak, gathering together to form a shape, just like five pillars supporting the entrance. Phantom images of the land also begin to rush in from all directions of the mountains and rivers!
