Chapter 76-3: Reborn and Back, Ten Billion Spent in One Go (3) |
After blocking private messages and friend requests, Jungle Huang Feihong chose to post Flowing Shadow’s analysis data directly in the regional chat, along with one sentence.
“(Attachment: Flowing Shadow Analysis) Brothers, stop DM’ing and sending friend requests. None of us in this squad are gold-farmers, sacrificial power not for sale.”
Upon seeing Flowing Shadow’s analysis, the regional chat instantly erupted in wails.
The fact that Flowing Shadow had a Hunt Level of 1 was like a dagger stabbing many players in the heart.
They could accept others containing Primordials through tough battles, but not such easy containment gifted by dumb luck.
“Why did I have to log in at this moment? Why did I have to see the containment notice? Why did I have to open the analysis info… You have no idea how painful it was seeing that while I was happily grinding!”
“(Explorer emoji, pitiful crying) A level 1 second-generation Primordial. I’m certain this is the respawn refresh Guide mentioned. You guys just happened to run into it. You lucky bastards, why couldn’t this happen to me?”
“Is this game playing with our lifespan? How is this different from finding a box full of cash while walking? I don’t begrudge others getting lucky, but you’re way too lucky. I can’t take it. Let me take a few breaths and recover my shattered mental state.”
“I glanced at my sacrificial power earnings after three hours of grinding, then looked at the pinned containment reward… sob sob~ It’s so unfair. I want one too.”
The regional voice channel was flooded with cries of despair. After briefly scrolling through, Qi Sheng withdrew his awareness.
With a casual wave, his human form shifted into the Emperor’s Sign form.
His head turned into blazing crimson flames, which rapidly spread across his entire body.
As he raised his hand, a halo symbolizing Primordial Power appeared, orbiting around him.
Within the halo spun 18 small orbs of various colors, each representing a type of Primordial Power.
With the players successfully containing the second-generation Primordial Flowing Shadow, his own strength had grown further.
The sensation was marvelous. He could clearly feel himself becoming more proficient at controlling and wielding the trace of Origin from the Emperor’s Sign, as if an instruction manual had been directly implanted into his mind alongside the containment.
With a mere thought, Flowing Shadow’s Primordial trait activated. One of the black orbs spinning in the halo lit up, and with an internal surge of energy, a replica of himself formed beside him.
After a simple test, Qi Sheng waved his hand and dismissed the clone, then shifted his focus to the player forum.
According to Guide’s feedback, an interesting post had appeared on the forum just seconds ago.
Upon reading the post, Qi Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle.
[God Temple Guild Recruiting Strong Players – Daily Salary & Excellent Benefits]

I’ve been reborn, and I’m ready to drop 10 billion into the game to get stronger. At first, everyone thought Dark Land was just a revolutionary virtual game, but what they don’t know is that the Black Tide from the game will descend upon reality in one year. People mock me for spending 10 billion like a fool, but only I know: when the servers shut down, aura will recover, Evil Entities will arrive, and endless darkness will engulf the earth. The game’s attributes will map directly to reality, and I… shall be crowned king!
Now hiring powerful players at high pay. Requirements: soul level 15+ (any single soul qualifies). I will lead you to battle the Black Tide and ascend to the throne when the apocalypse comes!

Happy Hamster Clan: Got it, insider info received. Delete this post quick before others see it. I’ll seize this chance to get stronger, and when darkness falls, I’ll open a resource supermarket in reality and resell at ten times the price. (Explorer emoji, this one’s a sure win.)
Divine Wings: Damn, God Temple Guild’s here too? Bro, you really plan to drop 10 billion? But sacrificial power is scarce in this game, money alone won’t get you enough. All the gold-farming team resources have already been monopolized by major guild leaders. Even if you spend 100 billion, it’s useless. (Explorer emoji, dejected sigh.)
Vosnidia: Damn God Temple, we’ll continue the grudge from Warfare here. Watch our Dinner Gang smash you to bits in this game.
God King replying to Vosnidia: Don’t be like that, our guild is full of newbies. Show some love, not violence. Also, could you spare us some sacrificial power so us old friends can get started? We can settle scores later.
Endless Night: You really just posted such a huge secret out in the open? Who’s gonna sell you sacrificial power now? Everyone’s spending it to boost their strength so they don’t become weaklings when the apocalypse hits. You should’ve secretly stockpiled sacrificial power and quietly grown stronger, then stunned everyone one year later. (Funny.jpg)
Scrap Yard: Scary. I actually ran into a reincarnator in-game. This info checks out, because I’m one too. When the darkness comes, I’ll emerge as a level 1000 Heaven Devouring Python and slaughter my way through reality. So no worries.

Reading this post left Qi Sheng speechless.
After investigating through Guide, he was sure that the poster ‘God King’ was just joking around with internet memes.
However, what he said would actually become reality one day.
The only difference was that the Black Tide wouldn’t arrive in one year, players still had plenty of time to grow.
When that day came, players’ powers would indeed be transferred to reality, and the current currency system would collapse entirely. Sacrificial power would become the universal currency shared between humans and alien players.
So converting real-world currency into sacrificial power really was an extremely forward-thinking investment.
But aside from himself and the Four Retainers, no one else knew this secret.
