Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players-Chapter 424 Unexpected Harvest

The gods considered issues from the perspective of the natives; hence, they were reckless, solely focused on maximizing their interests.

Xu Longyun considered matters from her own perspective. Born a Commandery Princess, she defined Lin Bai as the Master of the Three Realms, but she didn't know what Lin Bai truly needed, leaving her full of concerns.

The players thought from their own perspectives, naturally doing whatever they found enjoyable.

Everyone viewed issues differently, and thus, their conclusions were naturally distinctive.

After all, everyone wanted things to work out in their favor based on their own circumstances.

There was nothing inherently wrong with any of this; there was no absolute right or wrong.

If anyone was at fault, it was the game company and the System creator who had thrust him into this world.

Neither party was any good.

From Lin Bai's own perspective, it didn't matter which world collapsed.

After all, he was from Earth. Aside from Xu Longyun and a few others, he had no emotional attachment to any of these worlds.

Even in the Immortal World, where he had stayed the longest, it had only been for a few months, and three of those were spent undergoing Tribulation.

At Lin Bai's current level, unless the players possessed the ability to destroy a world, sheer numbers were no longer enough to kill him.

He could very well become an unkillable BOSS, manipulating the development of both sides, living freely between several worlds, occasionally toying with the players or flirting with girls.

If he desired peace and quiet, he could find any uninhabited corner and seclude himself for a time.

Life would be rich and interesting, at least more meaningful than the existence of the Nine Heavenly Kings.

Of course, this might align with the game company's wishes; after all, if Lin Bai actively participated and stopped causing trouble, the game could run autonomously.

It might also force out the entity behind the System; after all, hadn't the agent they cultivated started slacking off?

However, for now, Lin Bai still had tasks to complete. He needed to ensure all powerhouses were under his command. He had to learn all their Skills. He might not use them, but he couldn't afford not to have them. For example, the Dream Heavenly King's Ruyi, which could force players to delete their accounts, was quite formidable.

"Husband, who do you think is right?" Unable to win the argument against the others, Xu Longyun turned to Lin Bai for help.

"Everyone is right," Lin Bai said.

"Everyone is right?" they all asked in unison.

"Xiao Yun, this matter isn't that difficult to resolve, nor does it require us to kill too many people. We are members of the Righteous Door. Killing excessively would damage our reputation, so we should avoid it if possible. My persona must not collapse."

Lin Bai glanced at the players who were intently live-streaming them, a faint smile touching his lips. Suddenly, he stopped speaking and used the Oracle to project his consciousness into Xu Longyun's mind, "As I've said, if they want to play, then we'll play along with them.

Our Dao of Laws isn't just for decoration. Players are different from celestial beings; they have gender distinctions. Once the players enter the game, find a few goddesses who are unkillable and swift, like the Earth Goddess. Use Phoenix Seeks Phoenix on them. That should silence at least half the male players, shouldn't it?

Phoenix Seeks Phoenix is a Law; there's no limit to the number of targets. Let the billions of male players perform their talents for a while. Most of the belligerent ones are men. Once they're taken care of, the remaining women will be much easier to deal with. When they behave, release them. If not, keep them performing. As long as they live, their talent show never ends. We have plenty of time, don't we? It's perfect: no killing, and the potential threat is neutralized."

The gods were stunned.

Xu Longyun's eyes widened, "That... works?"

"Of course. Don't speak of this. There's no need to let them know; we'll just do it when the time comes." Lin Bai glanced at the live-streaming players again and chuckled, "The game company is too unscrupulous. If we announce it, they might add a last-minute patch."

"Alright, I suppose that's one way to solve the problem." Xu Longyun nodded blankly. Her mind went blank. She subconsciously looked at the only player present, a flicker of sympathy in her eyes. Lin Bai's method was far more ruthless than simply killing them; it was the cruelest form of punishment imaginable. Forcing these restless players to perform endlessly... they would likely be driven mad.

A stream of ellipses floated across the bullet comments, followed by an explosion of discussion:

"What's going on?"

"What did Lin Bai just say? We can't hide any of our movements from him, so why can't he be open and aboveboard? This isn't like him!"

"Does anyone understand lip reading? I desperately want to know, how is Lin Bai planning to deal with us? Is he going to use The Curse God?"

"Lin Bai didn't open his mouth. What lips are there to read?"

"The Curse God can't be *that* powerful. If he were, Lin Bai would have used him against the Earth Goddess and the Lord of the Abyss long ago."

"I think Lin Bai is just bluffing. Is there really a way to solve the problem without killing anyone?"

"Exactly, he's just creating a smokescreen. Lin Bai is a master at this."

"I'm itching for some action!"

"This is good news; everyone can relax. Lin Bai, despite his unorthodox methods, usually keeps his promises. So, he probably won't go on a killing spree in the real world! As long as we all get into the game pods, by the time he tries anything, it'll be too late."

"But I still want to know, how does Lin Bai plan to deal with us?"

"How about we list all of Lin Bai's Skills and use the process of elimination to figure out what he plans to do to us?"

"You idiot! There are countless Lin Bai fans among the players. Discussing it here is practically telling Lin Bai our countermeasures!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell. You guys go ahead and list them! I'm also curious how you plan to deal with my big bro."

"Fans, get the hell out."

"I seriously suspect Lin Bai is just baiting us."

"What about the remaining players?" Alea asked.

Lin Bai glanced at her and continued his Oracle transmission, "Taunts, marriage proposals, repeat the process. It will just mean my Disciples have to work a bit harder. But with you gods assisting, it shouldn't be too difficult."

GULP!

Xu Longyun swallowed hard. Suddenly, she felt that the number of players didn't matter anymore. With her husband's methods of torment, any number of people would be thoroughly subdued!

"So, you all understand?" Lin Bai smiled.

"Understood," the gods replied in unison, smiling.

"Nothing to be afraid of, right?" Lin Bai shook his head and continued, "This world is just a game. Who's to say who's playing whom? Alright, everyone, get to your tasks. Preparations for immigration and so on still need to be made. We need to approach this from multiple angles. This is a test of everyone's coordination. My primary focus will remain on the Fairy World. I'll leave the game's public beta to you all."

"Don't worry, Husband, we can handle it." Xu Longyun smiled, nodding firmly. "I will prepare contingency plans for every possible situation."

The Gold Heavenly King's Skills were drained by Lin Bai.

Almost spun into a daze, the Gold Heavenly King looked utterly bewildered. Once he regained his clarity and sensed the changes in his body, he paled in horror, "Lin Bai, you... you actually erased all my Skills?!"

"To be precise, they didn't vanish; they were transferred to me. This aligns with the law of conservation of energy." Lin Bai glanced at him with a smile. "Little Gold, go back. Give the Dream Heavenly King a message: if he wants to suffer less, he should stop resisting. The more he resists, the more painful it will be."

Before the Gold Heavenly King could respond, Lin Bai inverted the Sacred Sword in his hand, lopped off his head, and instantly zeroed out his health bar.

Keeping this powerless husk was pointless. It was better to send him back to the Fairy World, which also served to mark another target.

The Water Heavenly King and the Fire Heavenly King also failed to escape Lin Bai's clutches. The Continent of Gods and Demons was Lin Bai's home ground, and with numerous gods at his command, a lone Heavenly King was like a lamb to the slaughter, with virtually no chance to resist.

At this point, the players' attention was entirely focused on the upcoming full public beta; they had lost interest in the fate of the Water Heavenly King and the others. They were more concerned with their own futures.

After dealing with the three Heavenly Kings, Lin Bai now possessed four Law-based Holy Artifacts: the Thunder Hammer, the Sacred Sword, the Staff of Fire, and the Holy Grail.

However, Lin Bai wasn't in a rush to trouble the Dream Heavenly King. Instead, he used Shadow Following to appear directly behind the War God.

He also brought several gods from the Expedition Army under his banner. With the Earth Goddess and the Lord of the Abyss acting as persuaders, these gods surrendered decisively, without any hesitation.

With this, Lin Bai had subdued all the gods on the Continent of Gods and Demons.

The War God System displayed a task completion notification: [...Conquer those False Gods and let the War God's renown spread throughout the world (Completed); Reward: Law of Heaven and Earth (Distributed)]

Having acquired a new Skill, Lin Bai didn't keep it to himself and decided to test it out on the spot.

Then, right in front of everyone, he made a bit of a spectacle of himself.

Upon activating Law of Heaven and Earth, Lin Bai's body swelled instantaneously, transforming him into a giant ten thousand zhang tall, comparable to the Lightning Giant in Thor's Advent.

Unfortunately, he didn't have Hulk's underpants.

The instant the Law of Heaven and Earth transformation completed, every stitch of clothing on his body burst apart.

He stood stark naked between heaven and earth, completely exposed for all to see.

Fortunately, the Spirit Fruit and Temperament Fruit had long since sculpted Lin Bai's body to utter perfection. The moment Law of Heaven and Earth revealed his perfect physique, his fan count exploded.

Since the 'Superstar' quest was issued, Lin Bai's fan count was no longer being officially tallied. He knew it had increased because the Divine Power of his numerous Divided Gods, each embedded with a Divine Status, had surged dramatically. An increase in faith was the only logical explanation.

For a fleeting moment, Lin Bai even considered remaining in his Law of Heaven and Earth form, continuing to display himself before the live stream to keep harvesting faith! After all, this method of increasing strength was simply too effortless. However, rationality reined in his avaricious thoughts. He was a true man; he aimed to be a man of substance, not just an idol... Besides, exhibiting his perfect physique to billions was far too mortifying.

Law of Heaven and Earth didn't increase his Spiritual Power; instead, it amplified his physical strength and toughness by more than three thousandfold.

The instant he transformed into a giant, Lin Bai felt he could flatten mountains and cleave rivers with sheer brute force—true, unadulterated physical might.

His strength was secondary; what was truly terrifying was his body's toughness. Without any defensive measures, ordinary divine armaments could barely graze his skin; only the Gold Heavenly King's Sacred Sword could actually injure him.

And once Lin Bai activated his own defenses, his defensive power would increase thirtyfold, rendering even the Sacred Sword unable to pierce his skin.

Compared to Lin Bai in his Law of Heaven and Earth form, the War God of the World of Gods and Demons seemed like a midget, especially when Lin Bai also activated Three Heads Six Arms. His towering presence, like that of a resurrected Ancient God or Buddha, was truly awe-inspiring.

The only drawback was that his ten-thousand-zhang-tall body lacked suitable attire and appropriately sized weapons. Fighting bare-handed in combat felt somewhat unimpressive.

"Damn it, what is Lin Bai doing? Is this his ultimate form?"

"If he came to the real world in this form, one slap could wipe out a huge area. He wouldn't even need Skills to destroy the world!"

"Is he trying to intimidate us?"

"Who's afraid of him? In an age of mana, being big isn't everything."

"Bite an elephant to death? You couldn't even bite through his... trunk..."

"Don't insult my Brother Lin."

"Such a perfect physique! I stan, I stan."

"Knowing it's a live broadcast and still doing this... he's such a show-off! Enough already!"

"You're clearly jealous of my big bro! Even if the game lets you customize your face, could you create such a perfect body? Big bro's physique is all natural..."

"So what if he's perfect? It's not like you're going to get a piece of that." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Brother Lin is so good to his fans! Such an unexpected treat!"

"Damn it, I'm so jealous! He has strength, he has the looks... why does Lin Bai get all the good stuff?"

"If Lin Bai doesn't die, we male players will never get our day in the sun!"

"Sisters, did you get screenshots? Post them on the forums for everyone to admire!"

"Listen up, you members of the Anti-Linbai Alliance! From now on, we're protecting our big bro. If any of you dare to cause trouble, don't blame us for not holding back!"

"Sisters, let's level up for Brother Lin! We can't let them destroy our beautiful dream..."

"Damn, Lin Bai is shameless! Trying to divide us using a honey trap with his looks!"

"He really dares to use any trick in the book!"

"All you dogs slandering Brother Lin, get lost! If I see you in the game, I'll hunt you down every single time!"

The live stream's bullet comments were usually dominated by male players.

Because fan comments were often simplistic, repetitive, and considered meaningless, they were generally filtered out by the majority, rendering the female fans largely invisible.

This time, however, nothing could suppress the frenzy of Lin Bai's fans.

All rational voices were utterly overwhelmed.

Tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of fans flooded the entire bullet comment area. Lin Bai's fans looked like they wanted to leap through the screen and worship him.

"Senior Sister Yun, this must be the Master's tactic for dealing with the female players!" Jiang Qingqin said, her face flushing as she watched the live stream and the ecstatic female players in the comments. "But the sacrifice is too great!"

"Master's physique is incredible!" Little White Fox stared blankly at Lin Bai's Law of Heaven and Earth form, her eyes sparkling with adoration.

"Hmph." Xu Longyun glanced at the enormous Lin Bai on the screen, then back at the Lin Bai Divided God serving as their bodyguard, her face burning. Her gaze swept across the screen, taking in the frenzied fan comments and the messages slandering her, claiming she was unworthy of Lin Bai. A wave of dissatisfaction washed over her. However, Xu Longyun had no intention of provoking the jealousy of tens of millions of female players, especially since Lin Bai had chosen to display his body. All she could do was cover Little White Fox's eyes and forcefully console herself, "My husband has his reasons. Attracting a large contingent of players this way isn't so bad; it will save us a great deal of effort."
