Beast Race Imperial Palace.
The Beast Emperor uttered in a deep voice, "They actually returned most of the Immortal Herb they took from us, with only one missing?"
"Ha, this person is indeed decisive. If not, the beastman continent would have been impossible for him to leave!"
"However, from what we've heard from their description, this person possesses formidable combat power. We've been tracking for days, yet there's still no trace. It seems he has an exceptionally powerful concealment technique... Perhaps it's not worth the chase!"
He coldly said, "We must remain vigilant, as this might be a stratagem to lure us away. Since there's essentially no loss, let's not announce this to the outside."
It indeed unfolded as predicted.
After all, being able to recover nearly all the losses is already a narrow escape; having one still out there is within a tolerable range.
This is a shift in mindset.
Theft by outsiders, while significant, becomes a non-issue once the goods are reclaimed. But if it's known that it was an Emperor Realm seventh-level Immortal Herb that fled, how could we so easily endure letting it escape?
This is the opportunity for the entire Beast Race's rise!
Furthermore, this Emperor Realm Immortal Herb is as comparable as the nine Golden Crows of the Ancestral Witch Country.
...
At this time, Beina, after a series of escapes, finally reached the coastline.
She was about to leave this beastman continent. The sea is vast, allowing fish to leap, and the sky is broad, allowing birds to fly, free from ever being cornered again.
Yet, as her tension suddenly eased, countless mixed emotions surged like a breached dam within her.
Boo hoo hoo.
The naive girl couldn't help but collapse on the ground, sobbing.
The enraged roars of those predecessors still echoed vividly in her mind, their appearances lingered, and the farewells weighed her down with heavy guilt and a sense of duty.
Is this the hardship of life the elders spoke of in the clan?
Every strong person must enter the world, experiencing various life hardships, comprehending the truths within their hearts before being truly reborn from the ashes.
"Sea, my race... I am back."
She stepped towards the sea as if treading a grand pilgrimage path, bearing all missions, stepping onto the right path.
At the very moment her expression turned incredibly solemn.
The heroes, who had just bravely sacrificed themselves, asked on the forum:
"Where have you gotten to, report your position."
"Don't go looking for handsome guys, understand?"
"Have you thought about the path beyond the seventh level?"
...
Seeing these messages, Beina was taken aback, these were the ones who were just tearful and loudly mourning heroes.
What happened to the promised heroic sacrifice?
What happened to the promised noble martyrdom?
Beina both cried and laughed, messaging: "You guys are too bad, wasting my feelings."
She seemed to understand these seniors a bit now, each more resilient than the other, and they enjoyed teasing her.
"You weren't serious, were you?"
"Ah, it's a habit, every time we raid a dungeon and are about to get killed, we have to say something like that."
Beina felt speechless; these seniors loved to mess around, but it did lighten her mood a lot.
Quickly, someone else asked, "Beina, where are you from? Maybe someday I can visit you."
Beina was startled, as each Immortal Herb came from different worlds as hegemons; such grand beings intending to cross the Star River to descend to her world to find her?
She felt a sense of holy dread, quickly and cautiously replying, "I don't know my exact location either, so there's no need for you seniors to come find me."
The crowd felt it was nothing hearing that.
With a slight smile: "Right, don't tell them, otherwise, they will all come looking for you, and some twisted minds might harbor ill intentions towards you!"
Beina heaved a sigh inwardly, imagining the scene where countless mighty ancient beings, each surpassing the seventh level, descended upon her world, filling the sky. What a terrifying image would that be?
Even among them, some sick twisted ancient entities might...
Just thinking about it made her little heart feel overwhelmed.
Beina began venturing into the sea, diving into the depths, and asked, "Moving forward, what should I do next, seniors?"
"Of course, you should hide and grow secretly."
"That's right, an Emperor Realm Immortal Herb is like the greatest treasure emerging in the world. If discovered, no matter how strong you are, you can't stop the onslaught, let alone with your current unsatisfactory combat power. Even if you possessed the power of that Minotaur Empress who once suppressed the world, it's uncertain you could fend off the hungry wolves!"
The Minotaur Empress of the Ox Race once subdued the world, and no one dared to provoke her, but if she were an Immortal Herb, everyone would surely unite to slay her.
As strong as Shiguang the Blood Concealment Emperor was an example.
No matter how strong, stirring the world into an ancient divine blood war would lead to a shared assault!
Beina said, "Grow secretly? Well then, seniors, I'm planning to join an undersea race to mature together. What do you think?"
"No, no!"
"Even if this race seems friendly, it will betray you someday, and you'll be devoured, imprisoned. You're like Tang Monk's meat; everyone wants it!"
"Yes, death resets your level to zero, starting anew. Usually, a third or fourth-level Immortal Herb recovers in days, but as the difficulty increases, the loss becomes heavy."
It's well-meaning advice, and Beina understood.
These "handsome" brothers, although usually teasing, were genuinely kind to her.
This is a dark, sinister Extraordinary World, and she knew well the treacherous nature of humanity.
But she couldn't possibly say she planned to join her own clan, after all!
Beina: "What if I have an absolutely trustworthy reason?"
All players were puzzled. Do you have a hidden task or something?
"If yes, then of course it's alright."
"Immortal Herb and Cultivators complement each other... It's an indispensable link. If it's trustworthy, it will definitely take off in the future."
Everyone started discussing enthusiastically.
After all, Beina in front of them is quite special. To these "World" game players, what does this mean?
It's like after the release, the beta version had a major update!
Previously, there was only one form of interaction: breathing and speaking periodically for exchanges.
Now, there's another form of interaction. It's obvious the game planners secretly designated a "test player," giving her the ability for free movement to test actual effects.
What does this mean?
It means they can assist this player, guiding her development, offering strategies, which is another type of new storyline option.
Yes.
Zhu Zhengwei just wants these bored worker players to help Beina develop a bit.
They gain joy, and Zhu Zhengwei gains a true Great Emperor Powerhouse in the Pacific on Earth, along with a governing Celestial Emperor from the Ancestral Witch era.
It's equivalent to truly having a seventh-tier powerhouse on Earth, a subordinate of an Extraordinary Race civilization.
After all, from the first to the sixth tiers are just the entry-level Qi Cultivation, the seventh tier is the qualitative change, the capability to fly... Maybe, just like those silly netizens said before:
From the first to the sixth tiers is Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment Stage; the seventh tier is the Golden Core Stage, the ability to fly.
Considering the battle power ratio, it's similar. A Golden Core Stage can fly, live for several hundred years, and with full power of a Dharma Artifact, blast a mountain apart.
In the Golden Core Stage, Zhu Zhengwei is still not too proud.
The eighth tier might really correspond to a Nascent Soul monster, living for thousands of years?
Zhu Zhengwei doesn't know, but he still wants to wait for the world's development and for a powerhouse of this level to appear.
At this point, everyone was already designing Beina, this novice group darling's, development plan.
"Next, you also need to hide. If there's no accident, according to our secret observation, that Immortal will formally step into the world in a few years. They will use their disciple as a front to rule an era and establish a true Mythical Celestial Court."
"You absolutely, absolutely cannot beat the other party, and if discovered by that Immortal, you'd be done for!"
"You must lie low! Even if this era passes... you still have to lie low. According to our guess, that Immortal has always been obsessed with the Immortal Herb!"
Everyone continued discussing.
That Immortal has always been researching and being wary of the Immortal Herb.
He belongs to the ancient existence from the Alive Camp, tolerating the rule of Beast Race, Human Race, Ancestral Witch, but can he tolerate the emergence of the Immortal Herb's camp?
Providing a "Qi" source and in turn enslaving Cultivators?
Highly unlikely to allow!
Beina, perplexed, felt these seniors were remarkable, analyzing methodically: "So what should we do?"
"Hehehe, according to our speculation, this can basically be confirmed as a hidden restriction from the plan, to prevent us from acting recklessly.... We can have one person move, but not too many, just a little bit... passing through one's life, if we act recklessly and try to interfere with the great situation, we'd be wiped out by an unbeatable force."
"So, how can we possibly submit?"
Everyone continued discussing.
Beina: So, what should we do next, can we defeat that Immortal?
"Nonsense, of course, we can't beat them, but if we can't beat them, can't we do other things? Since in this world, we have to hide our identities, we might as well go to another world."
Beina: "..."
She seemed to understand what this meant, an incredibly audacious thought.
"Yes, our goal is the stars and the sea! If there's no possibility of rising here, we'll open a new map, go look at the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds in the sky, and see if their maps are ready!"
"Hahaha! I thought so too!"
"My first reaction when playing sandbox games is to find NPC logic behavior bugs and the world edge's invisible walls. This damn game is a beta yet has no bugs, so let's find the invisible walls!"
"Yeah, see how the world beyond the stars is."
They were extremely bold.
The bigger a person dares, the greater a yield the land has. As a modern person, how can you fight with those barbarian natives? Of course, you go to other maps for adventure.
The scenery here is getting boring, let's explore the new map of this game.
Zheng Weiwei heard these outlandish ideas and was shocked.
Instantly delighted.
These players, they're indeed talented, speak nicely, and are intelligent.
She, of course, knows this world is a real world, but she also has dreams of exploring the stars and the sea.
With a slight smile: "Gentlemen, have confidence in stepping into the starry sky?"
"Of course, we do!"
"Stop joking, these natives can only build a satellite moon; their level is so poor. We develop aerospace technology, create a spaceship, an absolute breeze!"
"Don't panic, Ollie, let's just do it!"
...
"Are you guys crazy? The more we talk, the more off-topic we get."
Zhu Zhengwei secretly saw this and couldn't help cursing, "I meant for you to fight this world's natives, not to fight me. I wanted you to help Beina grow into the next ruling Celestial Emperor, but instead, you're going rogue, urging Beina to aspire to the stars and the sea?"
Zhu Zhengwei couldn't help but sigh; these people, they just play by their own rules, they really have no martial virtue!
