Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

”No problem, no problem, definitely gotta arrange for Brother Flame.” Lu Wenwu immediately seized the opportunity.

Interacting with the Flame God, this decision came from Lu Wenwu after a few moments of deep consideration.

Knowing that this is a game field modified by a super civilization, many things have become clear.

The legendary Ancient Immortal Gods, as game players, basically have no possibility of colluding with those so-called Godslayers.

Only the fourth calamity truly understands the fourth calamity.

In this kind of simulation management, lord conquest type of game, a mere indigenous NPC working with us game players, how dare you?

Massive player killing usually only exists in MMORPG games; in simulation management, it’s pointless to wipe the server.

Wipe out ourselves?

Who plays Empire Age for fun and demolishes their own landmark, or throws a nuke on their own house in Barbarian Six?

Even if the Sun God is the only player, at most he’d have fun creating a Great Unity dynasty or a Great Unity theocracy, far from reaching the level where the dungeon issues a ’Survive for a year’ task.

At least not in A~S Tier dungeons; such wars would only create crises for low-tier players.

Therefore, having ruled out the option that Ancient Immortal Gods are the culprits of the world-ending catastrophe, Lu Wenwu was eager for more information.

He lacked the thought interference found in natives like the True Monarch of Destiny, who deliberately ignored things that should be noticed.

Therefore, playing as a player or GM isn’t difficult; he could extract some intelligence from the Sun God.

Through the ever-effective egg pancake assault, Lu Wenwu subtly gathered a lot of information.

Or perhaps the Sun God was inherently a talkative person who proudly recounted his glorious past, allowing Lu Wenwu to summarize many things from it.

This indeed is a place similar to a game field, created years ago by the civilization behind the Sun God as a semi-entertainment, semi-selection venue.

They crafted a small star system, cultivating many creatures including humans, and added many special laws for players to choose from.

Under completely realistic conditions, they added some unique game elements, making this ”game” less hardcore, combining cultivation and ability training with entertainment and education.

The so-called Heavenly Dao is actually the operational rules of this game, possessing its own behavior logic.

If visualized, it’s the invisible hands controlling everything.

The Ragnarok of old was seen as a terrifying event by natives like the True Monarch of Destiny.

But in the Sun God’s mouth... it was actually everyone getting bored, quitting the game en masse, leading to a ghost server.

Not epic at all.

Not grand at all.

After the last player quit, the production team calmly reflected, deciding on a sweeping reform of the game itself, unprecedented and massive in scale.

Thus, they added many programs to the Heavenly Dao controlling the game’s progress, including a plethora of new game settings to promote the evolution of native civilizations.

Manifested in the current world as—the emergence of the Upper Realm and Cultivator Realm, and the division of the Human Realm.

Except, the result of adding more programs to the mountain of code was a pile of bugs.

For instance, the appearance of ”Spirit Roots” among indigenous humans, who independently discovered cultivation systems, even reaching Immortal God level cultivation and occupying new maps meant for player brawls.

If not for the production team timely patching certain bugs and capping level limits, today’s Celestial Emperor and Divine King might have acquired the power to kill ”Ancient Immortal Gods.”

Later, upon realizing these bugs were irreparable, the team simply broke the jar and pushed things behind the scenes.

They even made a new promotional video, reheating old material, trying to lure a few old players back for a second chance.

As long as we don’t admit it’s a bug, it’s a game feature!

This is the truth of the resurrection of Ancient Immortal Gods, and why they won’t truly die, but will return.

The Sun God was the first old player to return.

Even though his power in the real world far surpasses his game account’s character countless times, returning to the place carrying his youthful memories was no harm.

So, he appeared simply and unpretentiously, becoming the first revived Ancient God.

As to why the Power of Destiny could vaguely predict old players returning,

This is after all a world modified into reality; it has many game features but isn’t entirely a game.

Having some precognitive abilities is quite normal.

In mid-air, the Sun God was eating egg pancakes and bragging with Lu Wenwu.

”Let me tell you, back in the day, although I wasn’t the strongest, I firmly held a top ten ranking. If I had been more dedicated, it’d be at least top five, aiming for top three.”

”Now, although the game version has changed, my years of gaming knowledge remain. With game items like Longevity Pils, Experience Pills, those NPC Immortal Gods are no threat. Us joining forces is enough to sweep the world.”

”Oh, by the way, where did you get this thing called egg pancake from? Is it a new mall item? It’s delicious! Better than the chef’s set menu at the Starry Sky Restaurant, even invigorating my Divine Power!”

”Not a game item, I made it myself.” Lu Wenwu has always been tolerant to those who love egg pancakes.

A person who likes egg pancakes can’t be all that bad, right? (certainly)

Hearing this, the Sun God was suddenly shocked: ”You made it yourself!? Brother, with your skills, if you opened a shop, it’d explode in sales across the entire High-Energy Dimension! Its flavor can’t be resisted even by someone with my Demon God-level cultivation!”

[Dimensional Demon God: Blazing Sun/Sun God praises your egg pancake highly]

Dimensional Demon God?

Lu Wenwu smelled a hint of familiarity.

Previously, he had attracted a bunch of Dimensional Demon Gods!

Oh right, remembered!

This race has a history!

[Endless Reincarnation] wasn’t that planet modified into a game field by these Dimensional Demon Gods?

Wonder how that Dimensional Demon God: Space-Time, who was almost angered to death by me, is doing now, still raging helplessly?

Just as the Sun God was still babbling bragging with Lu Wenwu, suddenly, Lu Wenwu sensed a crisis approaching.

It was a reaction from the instinct of life, not any active detection method.

He almost instinctively retreated swiftly, blood qi dragon scale immediately fully coated his body, pushing the True Dragon Battle Body to the extreme.

At the very next moment of distancing from the Sun God, a shadow almost shot out from the void, instantly striking the oblivious Sun God.

The Sun God’s blood bar of eighteen million instantly emptied; even the smug expression stayed stiffly on his face, unable to fade.

He wasn’t dead yet, but he was as good as dead, his blood volume reduced to single digits, completely critically injured.

Wasn’t targeting me?

Such strong power, a one-hit kill!

Lu Wenwu’s heart fluttered, blood and qi surged, sense released to the extreme.

With a resonating overlord fist, the True Meaning of Martial Dao suddenly erupted, shattering all discontinuous spatial nodes around, turning them into a trap filled with turbulent currents.

”Don’t leave!”

However, the shadow came quickly and left even quicker.

What surprised Lu Wenwu even more was the opponent’s incredibly high space level.

Even as he shattered all spatial nodes, the opponent allegedly created a new node, instantly seizing the Sun God’s body, vanishing without a trace, then immediately erasing the jump traces.

Such familiarity and control over space are quite astonishing.

This astounding level of control is unprecedented by Lu Wenwu and could secure a top spot among the space system cultivators he had seen.
