Chapter 437: Consultation

It was perfectly normal for that Cloud Green God to escape. In a typical cultivation system for deities, a small difference in a god's realm is indeed too significant. Unless they were combat monsters like Dao Changsheng or Medusa, capable of overcoming stronger opponents, it would be impossible to escape.

But they were different. This zombie system allows for the unlocking of cellular gene chains and self-combustion, essentially granting everyone the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration" technique. With this ability, a god can erupt and flee, and their immense power makes them incredibly difficult to stop.

However, upon hearing this news, some male netizens present felt a chill down their spines, as if they had just drunk a Sprite in winter – thoroughly chilled to the core.

Why?

Because as a mid-tier deity, Emperor of Great Joy would indeed find it very difficult to kill an opponent in a frontal assault. But if he launched a full-power sneak attack from the shadows, a lower-tier god might not even have time to react and could be killed outright!

"He clearly had the power to directly sneak attack and kill you, but he refused! Instead, he cuckolded you first, waited for you with a smile in your own home, drank the strongest liquor, embraced the most beautiful woman, and waited to fight the strongest enemy! Although... the woman he was embracing was your wife."

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

What a character!

But who could possibly endure that?

No one could tolerate such a thing!

Old Wang, who rarely boasts, seemed to grasp the psychology perfectly: "Perhaps Emperor of Great Joy felt that if he killed you first, he wouldn't be able to cuckold you."

Everyone suddenly realized, becoming even more convinced that this person truly understood the situation!

Someone else commented:

"Emperor of Great Joy floated out from the river, a hat stand behind him, and smiled, 'Young god, did you drop this large green hat? Or this small green hat?'"

A few "drama queens" emerged, and the entire forum fell silent for several seconds. They were still trying to have a serious discussion about the matter.

One female user stated, "Honestly, I have goosebumps all over! Emperor of Great Joy, this person is too terrifying, he must die!! (Cute pouty face.jpg)"

A male user gritted his teeth, "We must kill him! (Bloody knife.jpg)"

"Exactly! Although Emperor of Great Joy is historically the tyrant who has killed the fewest people, never truly massacring many, and never even killing a single woman, he is still terrifying! Before, even those Grand Luo Heaven Ancestral Shamans who slaughtered countless beings and treated human lives like grass didn't evoke such hatred!"

"Let's finish him off!"

"Let him taste the might of our male power!" A male netizen was utterly enraged.

"Let him taste our fem... *ahem*, the might of a mother! (Mom, hit me again.jpg)" Female netizens expressed their anger, but because the term "feminist" had recently been mocked by some ill-intentioned users, they disliked using that particular word.

Clearly, the entire internet was abuzz. Even those who were initially busy preparing to secure new spots for the weekend couldn't help but chime in; not only were the men enraged, but the women were also seething.

This truly was a public enemy!

It immediately sparked widespread outrage!

Just thinking about it sent chills down their spines for the people inside the game world. What would it be like if everyone was cuckolded?

It was hard to imagine!

At this time, the era was changing, and many players had developed a deep love for this game. Although they weren't privy to insider information, everything unfolding could already be described as:

A second virtual life.

A second social platform.

Long ago, some had predicted that virtual reality helmet games would transform Earth into a global village, altering the entire world's landscape, with humanity interacting within virtual online games, starting a second life. They had initially thought they might have to wait for their children or grandchildren to experience it, never imagining it would happen in their own lifetimes.

For many, this was the best of times.

The virtual game world had arrived, and it was incredibly realistic. Most netizens were still discussing how to deal with this boss.

Though if they ever discovered it was a real world, no one knew what would happen, but that was a concern for the future.

Of course, the internet never held a unanimous view on anything; there were a thousand Hamlets. Some, however, very earnestly expressed their opinion that people were being too emotional and didn't need to get so worked up; a calm approach was best:

"Personally, I don't think it's a big deal."

"As long as life is manageable, even if there's a bit of green on your head."

"After all the painstaking effort to cultivate into a god, not being sneak-attacked and killed, and simply surviving—that's arguably the greatest happiness in life... A god's life versus a bit of green on your head, wouldn't anyone choose the former?"

"I personally believe that, in some ways, Emperor of Great Joy is a good person (Nice Guy Card.jpg)"

Male Netizens: "???"

Female Netizens: "???"

Old Wang, who rarely boasts: "???"

Even Old Wang was stunned. "I've got to be friends with this guy!" he couldn't help but send a private message, requesting to add him as a friend.

But as everyone considered his line of thinking, it did seem to contain a certain life philosophy!

After all, a god had endured countless struggles to reach the peak of the world. At this point, power, beauty, and wealth were all within reach, not to mention a lifespan of eight thousand years...

However, on second thought, they felt something was off; the more they thought about it, the more wrong it seemed...

Was there a "Cuckold Knight" here trying to lead them astray, making them accept the social torment of being cuckolded? This person clearly had a story.

Xia Naiming looked at the incensed netizens, and although he had once been one of them, he was still somewhat speechless. "The internet truly is a magical place, unearthing one 'Old Wang from next door' after another, and now 'Cuckold Knights' too."

He continued.

"Emperor of Great Joy severely wounded the Cloud Green Heavenly God but couldn't pursue him. So, he took the Cloud Green Heavenly God's original wife and directly raided the next divine tribe. He then waited in the home of another god who had previously ambushed him. When that god returned home, he discovered he had been cuckolded. He was furious and fought fiercely, but that god also managed to escape! Emperor of Great Joy, with the wives of two gods, arrived at his next destination: the concubine of a god from years ago. However, after his raids on the previous two homes, many heavenly gods had reacted. This particular god had already returned home to await him. Emperor of Great Joy did not attack her. Instead, he looked at a young man nearby and instantly beamed, 'My son has the potential to be a Great Emperor! Raise him well,' and then he left."

Everyone listened in stunned silence, their minds reeling.

The world is full of my sons...

My son, a Great Emperor, has potential...

Wouldn't all future gods be his sons then?

Emperor of Great Joy was truly an ambitious and ruthless character. Instantly, everyone felt even more numb inside.

Xia Naiming continued, "Right now, the situation is quite complex. There are a total of seven gods, but they might not be able to defeat and kill Emperor of Great Joy, as two of them are largely incapacitated and can no longer be considered combatants. Although Du Xue has just become a god and her instant burst power is indeed exaggerated, her identity hasn't been exposed yet. We still need to strategize... After all, the pressure on Du Xue and me is immense, because if we fail, we might just..."

Everyone's heart tensed!

They couldn't help but change the subject to comfort him. Someone said, "Show us some pictures of her in action, let us admire sister-in-law's heroic bearing!"

"Pry open your skull and let me see your beauty."

"Get lost!!"

Xia Naiming retorted instantly.

He continued, "I've only just managed to break through to the Seventh Tier Heavenly Emperor, and I'm still just an 'extra' in this. That's a battle among gods; I can only secretly expand our protective network. If any of you have suggestions or ideas, please share them with me. After all, two heads are better than one, and the big shots from various worlds have more experience than I do!"

Meng Mei and others also stated that they would continue to follow the developments.

In reality, this world was indeed too high-end. A Seventh Tier Heavenly Emperor, which would be considered top-tier for players in other worlds, was still completely unable to intervene in this one.

Of course, there was also some envy.

After all, they had to work so hard to reach the Heavenly Emperor position, while it seemed relatively easier for him, given that it was a grand world with an abundance of energy and opportunities for cultivation breakthroughs.

At this moment, the netizens were still busy registering for the new version and reading the replies from "Scare You to Death 3000." They were buzzing with discussions, endlessly debating the ancient lava land.

Xu Zhi had also just completed the mechanical battle armor and put down his work. Watching this scene, he thought, "The war has already begun. Gods will undoubtedly fall, leading to significant extinction feedback."

The fall of a single god was equivalent to the energy of a great extinction event.

Of course, Xu Zhi had no intention of interfering. Instead, his eyes gleamed with curiosity. "The New Humans and the zombie evolution have stabilized... I need to go check on their bodies again. This world truly brings unprecedented and continuous surprises."

With a thought, he had already entered the ancient lava land.
