Yin Yang didn't know if his idea was correct, but he was willing to give it a try.
After all, he was truly out of options.
His petty tricks were nothing but a joke in the face of his opponent.
But Yin Yang remained undiscouraged. As everyone knew, he was an extremely thrifty man.
So thrifty that he would never let a single opportunity slip by!
Not a single one!
“So, it's always good to be prepared. You never know when something might come in handy.”
Yin Yang snapped his fingers, and several one-time transcendent items appeared in his hand.
These were things he had bought in Wanwu City—【Deceive the Masses】!
This item could turn imagined scenes into realistic projections.
It got its name because back when technology was not as advanced, some people used this method to fabricate 'divine miracles' to amass vast fortunes.
Later, with the advancement of technology, 3D holograms became directly available. Coupled with the fact that the general public became harder and harder to fool, 【Deceive the Masses】 fell into obscurity.
The only reason Yin Yang had bought it was because the shop had a 'minimum spend discount,' making it more cost-effective to bundle items.
“Let's give you a livestream!”
...
The chaotic battle inside the Wannian Platform grew increasingly fierce, and the greatest variable was undoubtedly the Wannian Platform itself.
With the 'resurrection of Qin Qian,' the Wannian Platform had been sealed once again, which only made it more furious.
Even as its suction intensified, its struggles grew faster and more violent.
Qin Qian, who had been teleported back, once again became its primary target!
The elder with tucked sleeves erupted with all his might to block it as much as possible, while the other Sequence 4s also rushed over to 'protect the king.'
However, when fighting the crimson threads, they always prioritized their own safety. They were nowhere near as dedicated as the elder with tucked sleeves, nearly letting Qin Qian get hit several times.
Because of this, Qin Qian's expression grew increasingly ugly.
The grand Monarch of Great Wei was currently like a stray dog, and even those who came to rescue him were just going through the motions.
“Kill one Sequence 4, and you will be rewarded with a sealed object!”
“Kill two, and you will be rewarded with promotion main ingredients!”
“Kill three! I will let them choose any single item they want from the Great Wei Treasury!”
Hearing this, the few 'slacking' Sequence 4s instantly became ferocious.
This was the power of a heavy bounty!
To ensure the promise remained valid, they would also protect him as much as possible.
With them sharing the burden, the pressure on the elder with tucked sleeves was instantly halved.
But in just that short moment, the forest of flesh and blood around the Wannian Platform grew once again.
The flesh split into countless interwoven fine threads, completely sealing off the entire Wannian Platform. From a distance, it looked like a messy birdcage.
Even Yin Yang was looking for a chance to turn the tables, let alone the Sequence 4s who had charged in.
After all, who among those who had reached Sequence 4 had enjoyed smooth sailing?
The first to strike were the two elders of the Shadow Lotus Church. They completely abandoned their attack on the duck-voiced man and charged instead at the fifteen hundred Imperial Guards.
The spirituality of these Imperial Guards had mostly been drained away. How could they possibly stand against Sequence 4s?
Like slicing melons and vegetables, two black lines flashed by, and all fifteen hundred Imperial Guards were decapitated in a spray of blood!
Yin Yang was startled when he noticed this, then silently began collecting their heroic spirits.
How should he put it?
Well.
He was just that thrifty.
Seeing this, the duck-voiced man charged at the two of them in a fit of rage, completely abandoning his defense against the blood rain.
After all, no matter how well he defended, the Wannian Platform was already unsealed.
With his involvement, the cultist camp became somewhat passive, and the Wannian Platform was still continuously absorbing everyone's energy.
If this continued, they would be killed in a matter of minutes.
Both sides fell into a strange equilibrium, while only the Wannian Platform grew stronger and stronger.
Finally.
The ground completely caved in, and seventy percent of the incantations on the Wannian Platform had disappeared!
Countless red flesh and blood gushed out from the cracks in the ground!
The birdcage of flesh and blood tightened bit by bit, as if to 'swallow' them all.
At the same time, the newly emerged flesh and blood gradually hardened and assembled, looking somewhat like red bones.
This changed the situation once again.
Although those who came later to protect the king wanted merit and rewards, they didn't want to die.
But the cultists who had rushed into the Wannian Platform from the very beginning had never planned on returning alive!
The momentum of both sides shifted, and the cultists actually began to suppress them.
At this moment, Yin Yang had already used his incantation arrays to spread several sheets of 【Deceive the Masses】 as far as possible.
Using his own line of sight as a camera, he would conduct a 【Livestream】!
Just as 【Deceive the Masses】 was activated, Yin Yang once again heard the voice of the Wannian Platform.
“Temporary Palace charged to five percent!”
“Self-diagnostic in progress.”
“Main body damaged seventy-eight percent, repairing.”
“Core energy source lost, no suitable alternative energy nearby.”
“Defense system activated. Due to damage to the main body, current usable range is five percent.”
“Detected nearby energy-based lifeforms. Danger level: four.”
“Detected nearby bloodline lifeform. Danger level: five.”
“Bloodline lifeform energy is too low, cannot serve as core energy source.”
“Searching for bloodline lifeforms!”
Buzz—
At this moment, all the transcendents on the Wannian Platform felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if a pair of eyes were peering at them from behind while they were using the restroom.
Even Wan Tianqing and Mr. Gong looked toward the Wannian Platform in unison.
“Bloodline lifeforms search complete. Total: one hundred and six. Energy too low, cannot aggregate to serve as core energy source.”
“Protocol invalid!”
These voices sounded almost simultaneously, leaving Yin Yang somewhat bewildered.
He had previously thought the Wannian Platform was alive but with low intelligence, only able to express simple things.
But now, why did it sound like an AI program?
While he was pondering, the voice of the Wannian Platform continued to sound.
“Bloodline lifeforms can no longer serve as core energy source.”
“Highest authority holder detected.”
“Receiving command.”
“Executing Royal Order!”
Buzz—
The air hummed as over a dozen flesh-and-blood tentacles gathered together, suddenly blasting a beam of red light that blew Qin Qian to pieces, his head flying far away!
And this scene was being witnessed by everyone watching the 'livestream.'
They watched with their own eyes as Qin Qian was blasted by a flesh-and-blood evil god!
Fast.
Too fast.
So fast that the surrounding people could not react at all.
Only in Yin Yang's mind did the voice of the Wannian Platform continue to echo.
“Royal Order executed. Current remaining energy: four percent. Entering standby shortly.”
“Main body repair suspended. Executing Royal Order.”
The flesh-and-blood tentacles turned their direction, aiming at the duck-voiced man.
The duck-voiced man paled in horror; his current condition was simply too terrible.
Boom!
“Current remaining energy: three percent.”
Red light shot out. The duck-voiced man tried his best to dodge, but the elder in a suit and several other cultists struck together to block his escape!
Boom!
The second red light hit dead-on, blasting his body into mincemeat.
“Royal Order executed. Current remaining energy: two percent. Entering standby shortly.”
“No new commands issued.”
“Temporary Palace entering standby, awaiting summons.”
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
Buzz—
The earth shook violently, and the red light almost illuminated the entirety of Central City.
Whoosh!
The red light vanished in an instant, leaving only a bottomless pit where the Wannian Platform had once stood.
And all of this had been 'broadcast' by Yin Yang using 【Deceive the Masses】.
The citizens of Central City who witnessed this scene felt as if they were watching a sci-fi movie.
