Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1194 - 37: Teammate Training Program (Part 2)

Gu Feiyu shrugged his shoulders, helplessly saying, "I can’t help you make this decision, Jie. Such a major choice concerning personal paths and world destiny certainly depends on your own heart and ideas. But..." His tone shifted, and his eyes lit up, "I have a somewhat immature little suggestion."

"Oh? What suggestion? Tell me."

"Since the players in that Great Thousand Worlds tend to stick together and form small groups, making survival difficult for solo players, why don’t you, Jie, if you truly decide to go to the Great Thousand Worlds, spend some time ’leading some teammates’ first?"

Gu Feiyu grew more excited the more he spoke, "Cultivate a few trustworthy brothers with potential to become Immortals, and when the time comes, everyone can team up to explore the Great Thousand Worlds together. With strength in numbers, everyone can look out for one another; wouldn’t that be better than you charging in alone? By then, we’ll be our own little group, not needing to worry about others, and there’s no fear of being betrayed!"

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, a gleam of approval flashing in his eyes, "That makes sense indeed. Team action does have advantages over going solo."

Gu Feiyu then thought of something and asked curiously, "Actually, I’m quite puzzled as to why that Heavenly Venerate didn’t cultivate more teammates to go with him? Why did he insist on running to the Great Thousand Worlds alone, and now he’s doing so poorly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but smile, his tone carrying a hint of calm understanding of worldly affairs, "This question, I can answer for you. The answer is simple—because of human nature."

"What do you mean?" Gu Feiyu asked, puzzled.

"Not everyone is willing to share strength and benefits with others," Xiao Jie explained, "Most people, if they gain some unique, unparalleled opportunity, are likely unwilling to lose such a transcendent position. If one is the only ’Immortal’ in the world, then without a doubt, they’re unmatched, enjoying unparalleled power and freedom.

But if the number of Immortals grows, that unique sense of superiority and rarity is naturally diminished."

He admitted candidly, "In fact, even I once hesitated internally about whether to help everyone, like Hao Mie and An Ran, achieve Immortality. After all, teaching others and sharing opportunities also requires effort and risk."

"But thinking back," Xiao Jie’s tone turned firm, "Everyone has helped me along the way, whether in the game or reality, and this camaraderie cannot be forgotten. So, I must give them a chance for Immortality. As for whether they can achieve it, that depends on their personal effort, comprehension, and opportunities."

"The Heavenly Venerate, however, is different," Xiao Jie analyzed, "His Ascension largely relied on luck, accidentally encountering a reclusive Immortal. This almost ’free gift’ of an opportunity left him lacking the motivation and sense to ’repay’ others.

Of course, it might also be simply his inherent lack of such mentality; otherwise, those teammates who were wiped out with him in the same area should somehow count as companions who’ve gone through tough times together.

After becoming an Immortal, there’s no doubt he prioritized consolidating and enjoying his unique status rather than cultivating potential ’competitors.’ Until he ventured to the Great Thousand Worlds and faced numerous setbacks, only then did he realize how difficult it was to move without reliable teammates, though by then it was too late for regret.

Feeling helpless, he could only try to drive the game’s updates through the Pantheon in Jiuzhou World, hoping to promote new Ascenders, which is essentially a remedial measure."

"In some sense, this is self-imposed entrapment..." Xiao Jie spoke slower as he reached this point, his chaotic thoughts seeming to brighten up with this sentence, forming a clear answer.

A decisive expression appeared on his face, and the previous hesitation and struggles were swept away. "Feiyu, you’re right! If we’re really going to the Great Thousand Worlds, I must cultivate a group of reliable teammates to ascend together and go as a team! With that decided, I don’t have to rush into making a personal final decision."

His thoughts became clear, "I can first help others grow. Once others successfully become Immortals, then we can discuss and decide together."

"If everyone, upon understanding the situation, is unwilling to venture into the Great Thousand Worlds, then I wouldn’t needlessly risk it alone; staying in Jiuzhou World as a Carefree Immortal works just fine," Xiao Jie’s tone grew more relaxed, "If everyone’s willing to brave that higher, more dangerous world, then why shouldn’t I go with them! Strength in numbers, mutual support, always outweighs facing unknown fears solo.

Just like when we once teamed up to explore the game together."

Having made a clear decision in his heart, Xiao Jie felt significantly relieved, no longer troubled by the question.

After breakfast, Xiao Jie didn’t rush into the game as usual. He first opened his computer and skillfully logged into the Old Soil’s official website.

In the relevant pages of the expansion, in the most prominent position, indeed, hung a huge poster for the [Great Thousand Worlds] expansion, its background featuring shattered stars and silhouettes of the ancient and towering Sky Tower, filled with mystery and epic feel.
