This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

But it's a pay-to-win game!

As the lightning subsided and the dark clouds dispersed, the system's voice followed.

The ordeal of death for all living beings has ended.

[Jiang Liu, the 'Guardian,' successfully withstood the death calamity for all living beings, and the mysterious pet egg also successfully survived its tribulation.]

The third phase of the "Divine Pet Descends from Heaven" event has ended. The winner is the Celestial Empire Region 4, and the loser is the Celestial Empire Region 3.

[The winning team's rewards—20 Medium-Grade Pet Balls, 100 Medium-Grade Pet Food, 10 Pet Cleansing Pills, and 1 Pet Level-Up Pill—have been distributed to all players in Server 4.]

[The rewards for the losing side: 10 Medium-grade Pet Balls, 50 Medium-grade Pet Food, and 5 Pet Cleansing Pills have been distributed to all players in Zone 3.]

[Special Reward: A mysterious pet egg has been distributed to 'Guardian' Jiang Liu.]

The first cross-server event has ended. Stay tuned for the next cross-server event, where the ultimate rewards await!

A series of system announcements echoed throughout the entire event map, reaching the ears of every player.

Following the system announcement, excited cheers erupted from players in Zone 4.

Won!

Great!

1000 million spirit stones, awesome!

Jiang Zemin is awesome!

We're going to follow Jiang Dashen and ride his coattails to ascension!

In stark contrast to the joyful players in Zone 4, the players in Zone 3 looked ashen and were in low spirits.

They never imagined that they would lose to District 4, which opened six months later.

Is this a dream?

The players in Zone 3 stared intently at Jiang Liu inside the light shield, their eyes filled with humiliation and hatred.

If looks could kill, they would have annihilated Jiang Liu in an instant.

That's the guy!

If it weren't for him, we could have started popping champagne right at the beginning of the event!

It was him who single-handedly blocked the spring, single-handedly dealt with the Poison King, and single-handedly forced the seven sect leaders to leave, which led to this outcome!

Remember him!

Next time, let's take him down!

The seven sect leaders also looked extremely grim, their gazes fixed on Jiang Liu, as if they wanted to deeply imprint Jiang Liu's appearance in their minds.

"This time we lost."

Lu Hejin gritted his teeth and said, "But it's definitely not because we're weaker than District Four that we failed. The overall strength of District Three is far superior to that of District Four!"

"Perhaps we weren't prepared enough."

The sect leader of the Earth Sect sighed: "Who would have thought that such a freakish player would emerge from the fourth district?"

"If we lose this time, can we win next time?"

Xia Xiaoshui said dejectedly.

"Of course!"

Yan Wang sneered, his tone full of confidence: "We are demonic players, our advantage is that we level up quickly!"

"By the time we have the next cross-region event, we'll all be in the late Golden Core stage, while he'll still be at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. How can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator fight against eight of us in the late Golden Core stage?"

"We demonic cultivators may not have much else, but we level up fast!"

"He's at the Golden Core stage, we're at the Nascent Soul stage; he's at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, we're at the Deity Transformation stage. We can crush him with ease!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the others lit up.

Yup!

Their advantage as magic-based players has only just begun!

The difference between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage may not be significant, but what about the Nascent Soul stage and the Deity Transformation stage?

The gap between them will only widen. What can a mere righteous player and a mere righteous server do to compete with the entire demonic server?

It's just one setback, don't panic.

The advantage lies with me!

"Remember him!"

Lu Hejin looked at Jiang Liu with a gloomy gaze, his tone firm and resolute: "Next time, we'll take him down!"

Jiang Liu was unaware that he had become a thorn in the side of the players in Zone 3. He was happily running towards the giant pet egg in the center of the light shield.

But before he could even lift it, the giant pet egg disappeared, and he was kicked out of the event map.

Damn it, you're closing the map already? At least let us have a little celebration!

Jiang Liu returned to the main interface, muttered a curse to himself, and then eagerly opened his backpack.

A row of new items appeared at the bottom of the backpack.

One of the eggs, a perfectly round golden egg, caught his eye.

Ignore all other items and click directly on the mysterious pet egg.

I spent 1000 million spirit stones to buy this pet. If you don't release an Ao Run for me, I'm going to wreak havoc all over the world!

[Mysterious Pet Egg]

[Rank: Unknown]

[Introduction: Unknown]

[Attribute: Unknown]

[Note: Unknown]

Everything is unknown, why all the secrecy?

Yay! I love mystery the most!

[Start the Mystery Pet Egg event?]

【Yes】

Please select the route to activate.

【One: Random opening. After opening, you will randomly obtain one pet from the Profound to Dao grade. There is a very small chance of obtaining a Celestial Beast.】

【Part Two: Custom Enablement (Requires a small amount of resources)】

Jiang Liu didn't even consider what "customization enabled" meant before directly selecting option two.

Randomly activated?

Is there a chance of encountering a mythical beast?

22%, right?

It's not that I don't believe in my own luck, it's that I don't believe the developers would give him a mythical beast!

If he spends 1000 million spirit stones and ends up buying a mystical beast, he could stew it.

After selecting "custom mode enabled," another set of options appeared in front of him.

Please select a pet species.

【One: Demon】

【2: Ghost】

【Three: Utensils】

【Part Four: Living Things in Heaven and Earth (Stone, Wood, Water, Fire, etc.)】

What the hell!

You can actually choose your own pet's race! That's true customization! Amazing!

Ok?

Are these the only four options? Why isn't there a human pet?

Negative Ratings.

"Then let's go with demons! Demons can summon dragons, I want to be a dragon knight!"

Jiang Liu's interest was piqued by the custom settings, and he happily made a choice.

Please select the pet's gender.

[One: Male]

【Two: Female】

Haha, do you even need to choose? Don't you know that when I used to play games, I always played female characters?

Whose male character is riding a dragon?

If you're going to ride, ride the female dragon!

22222!

Please select the pet's main lineage.

【Part 1: Random Pet Primary Attribute (Strength/Defense)】

[Two: Consuming a high-grade Xuan weapon will grant the pet its main attribute.]

[Note: If the consumed Mystic Artifact is an offensive Mystic Artifact, the pet will be an offensive pet; if the consumed Mystic Artifact is a support Mystic Artifact, the pet will be a support pet. Please choose carefully.]

Jiang Liu: "??????"

Oops, something's not right. Can I choose again?

Upon seeing this option, Jiang Liu's eyes widened involuntarily, his large eyes filled with a slight bewilderment.
