Tang Meng was taken aback, her expression becoming serious.
Seeing the situation, it was no joke.
We rise up?
How could she not want that?
Every day she thought about how to rise.
But their cultivation speed was slow, the strongest currently being the Third Grandmaster, who hadn't broken through the fourth realm to reach the rapid pace of the Path Maker civilization's fleeting life-cycle!
The civilization's speed couldn't keep up!
In reality, it wasn't considered slow anymore. It had only been two years from scratch to now, and they already had a Third Realm Grandmaster, showing a terrifying speed.
But it was still far from enough.
The Path Maker civilization, the fourth realm, was a threshold separating the world of gods and mortals.
"We are mortals; without entering the fourth realm, we are ultimately ants. The difference in time flow is too great...."
"We've worked hard for two years here, but in reality, others achieve it in two days' time, how can we compete? Others have already gone through over six hundred years of history…"
Tang Meng suddenly became serious,
"I'm researching using technological methods, using a nutrient pod to first push us into the fourth realm, transforming into biomechanical beings. We enter a batch first, some pioneers go forward. Do you have a similar thought?"
After all, the only fast track method she could think of was this.
"Of course, there are other ways, I'll ask just one question," Li Junchen said, "The Buddha's faction, can you do as they do, using hair to stitch the Great Witch, leading them to reincarnate and become mortals?"
Tang Meng nodded, pointing at the tuft of hair on her head,
"As long as it's an entity from the Divine Demon Night Banquet, it can be achieved. The Buddhist Path is essentially the fundamental application of our Divine Demon Night Banquet members. I've already developed a batch of Great Witch reincarnations, inserting my tuft of hair into them. They've already cultivated it into curls, coiled on their heads, to control the mortals with curls on the other side, acting as antennas to control each other...."
"Some of them have already reincarnated seven or eight times."
This is to cultivate the Buddhist Path.
Cultivate the power of a thousand lifetimes reincarnation and return it to their Great Witch form to break through the fourth realm.
But this method, in fact, is very long-term, conservatively estimated requiring a reincarnation of ten thousand mortal beings to have their gigantic soul body break through the fourth realm.
"The Buddhist Path has always been the orthodox method to break through the fourth realm, but distant water can't solve the immediate thirst," Tang Meng said.
"No, it couldn't before, but now it can," Li Junchen said, "What if our reincarnated mortals are very special, can gain energy rapidly by fighting monsters and defeating enemies?"
Tang Meng was taken aback.
Li Junchen nodded, pulling out a mass of flesh, "This is this slaughter species, fuse it with your therapeutic biological material, try turning them into Buddhists with a high similarity to you, using this place as a foothold to create a game world."
"Game world?"
Tang Meng seemed to think of something, "Wait, you intend to..."
"Leveling up, fighting monsters... If there's a way to allow modern people like us to quickly cultivate, isn't this it?" Li Junchen said matter-of-factly, "Those Buddha reincarnations, after dying, the souls return, isn't it just like returning to a respawn point in a game?"
Indeed it is.
But that was before there wasn't a leveling up by fighting monsters, now adding this transforms it into something like that.
"Is it really possible? This is quite bold, isn't it?" Tang Meng couldn't help saying.
"How would you know if you don't try?"
Li Junchen said, "But, to achieve this, the Great Witches must evacuate Earth to avoid having their main bodies killed.... This place is just perfect as a base, and I now have the power to secretly open spatial channels. Just need to first gather the manpower..."
Hide the main body here and then let the reincarnated form be reborn outside. It indeed seems feasible.
Tang Meng pondered, "It does appear very safe."
"In fact, have you ever thought, Tang Meng, that you are the Buddha of this era?"
Li Junchen said, "Since the benefits of the Divine Demon Night Banquet members can open up the Buddhist Path line, then you are one of the Buddhas of this era, isn't it normal? It's just that you, the Buddha of this era, are obsessed with games and let the Great Witch Buddha under your command consider reincarnation as a game."
"Uh." Tang Meng was startled.
Li Junchen's expression turned serious, encouraging her, "Yes! You are the Buddha of this era, don't say making all Earthlings bald, first set a small goal, bald one billion! Trust me, Earthlings are all bald that way! Using the Mediterranean hairstyle to cultivate immortality, in the future Immortal Realm, each Immortal Monarch, Immortal Emperor, has a Mediterranean hairstyle, you deserve it!"
Tang Meng: "..."
Whether it was a cold joke or not, it was worth trying.
It must be said, these words indeed eased the atmosphere and mood somewhat.
Tang Meng thought it over and spoke with her best friend in the Divine Demon Night Banquet, "Praise the great Nameless God!"
"Spread the glory and faith of my Lord, let His grandeur shine across the entire galaxy."
...
A week later, a batch of volunteers was gathered, under the publicly proclaimed nutrient pod, some highly qualified individuals were assembled.
After all, everyone had been cultivating for two years, and qualifications could be discerned.
Ten thousand people were the testing group, and upon entering this space, they realized they were starting a real virtual game named "Third Day of God."
At this point, when entering the land here, Lin Wei, like the other testers, listened and was surprised, understanding the significant opportunity. Like everyone else, he was excitedly washing his face and brushing his teeth in a cubicle, and after eight o'clock, the designated test time, wore a delicate helmet to enter the game.
Boom!
A pitch-black vastness in the mind.
"Inserting tuft of hair——"
"Reading consciousness——"
"Splitting the soul——"
He didn't know who made this twisted game loading screen, nor did he know that in reality, a strand of cowlick was being inserted into his helmet, causing his hair to fall out rapidly.
Turning into a Buddha.
After all, even though it's called a "game" to make others accept it quickly, it's essentially a Buddhist Taoist cultivation system, cultivating a body across a thousand reincarnations.
Crack!
A vast mountain and sea planet scene suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The boundless deep void, endless brilliant planets, within the blue galaxy, and countless powerful beings fighting everywhere.
A heavy voice narrated alongside:
"The first day of the gods..."
Lin Wei listened to this segment of the game world backstory, knowing it was a real event, a game that was changing his fate—no, it was the start of his cultivation.
"Is it starting, is it starting..."
"Come on, come on, the revival of the myth, the rise of the Earth Greater Witch!!"
"I also want to battle the dark forbidden zone, to defend the glory of Jiaxia."
He looked forward in silence, and the scene suddenly became bright.
When he came back to his senses, he saw inside a thatched hut amidst green mountains and fields, a giantess wearing Miaojiang attire, creating figures with mud in the yard.
She kneaded clay, mixed with flesh and blood, and went through various processes, finally cutting a cowlick from the top of her head and inserting it into the clay figure, as if it gained life in an instant.
"Charge! Brothers, I'll go first!"
The clay figure bolted forward.
And in front of him, there was a massive queue, and he could only stand at the back, a piece of information appeared at the corner of his eye:
"The god is creating your character, the server is crowded, please wait."
He was dazed watching it.
Wasn't that giantess Tang Meng?
This whole scene felt so ceremonial, so solemn, that he felt the game was made with effort, and he was the supreme NPC...
What the hell is this?
But he could only continue to queue, waiting to be reincarnated into a new body.
Nearby, conversation drifted in,
"Brothers, follow this pattern, if we die, we'd have to queue here to resurrect, won't our cultivation be gone?"
"Resurrecting at all is already great!" a female player next to him said, "Anyone wanna wait for me, I'll act cute and say 666."
"Get lost!"
"Get lost!"
"Women only slow down my monster hunting pace!"
"I want to be the man who saves Earth, before I was timid in reality because I couldn't find a way to get stronger, now that my path is clear, I'll grind till even the gods fear me, and eventually, I'll suppress the dark forbidden zone alone, grasping the sun, moon, and stars with my hand, comparable to Jiaxia of old, leading civilization to grandeur!"
"Wait, shouldn't you be more concerned about Tang Meng, won't she work herself to death? When more people join, she'll create new bodies every minute, won't she exhaust herself?"
"You're dumb, it's still the early closed beta, they'll probably invent some fully automatic reincarnation machine later, no way she'd do it herself!"
"Wait, shouldn't you focus on courting Tang Meng, the cowlick goddess? Completing a hidden quest right from the start, with the Creator God as my wife?"
....
Amidst all the chaotic murmuring around him.
Lin Wei was speechless, but indeed, it was a game that determined his fate.
Soon, after queuing, it was finally his turn, and he was fashioned into a human shape, a cowlick inserted, and his soul entered this ant-like body.
"Go, my child." Tang Meng said with a gentle, kind face.
Was she too deeply into character?
Lin Wei internally quipped, as he continued onward, faintly seeing a town ahead, "Is that the starter village? I wonder what newbie monsters we'll team up against?"
He looked down.
Name: Li Erdan Is Not Stupid.
Strength: 1
Agility: 1
...
Experience: 0/1000
Death Count: 0
Looking at the extremely detailed attribute panel, he suddenly felt an unmatched sense of security, as though the world and lifestyle he was familiar with had returned.
"So, there's no need for cultivation, just monster hunting to level up?"
He took a deep breath, touched the cowlick on his bald top, "Then, I better grind hard, got to make myself some curls first, using one strand to cover my whole head, otherwise it looks too awful."
