Mini World Game Console-Chapter 738 - 739: Do You Really Think I, Ren Han, Don’t Go Online?
"Look what I refreshed! It's a live stream, a live stream!"
"Isn't that Three Pools Mirroring the Moon at West Lake? Damn, damn, if I head over now, can I get on TV?"
"Ren Naiser is as prolific as a sow! He just uploaded 'Annals of the Otherworld Empire's Demise' two days ago, and now he's doing a live stream!?"
"This live stream room is called 'Door of Truth'; it reminds me of a classic work... So, will there be a chimera shouting 'big brother' in this stream?"
"Is the person who posted that last comment a devil?"
"What's this? What's the Door of Truth? That blonde young lady is gorgeous. Is she my new wife?"
"Idiot, you think every pretty girl is your wife?"
「In Ren Suo's house」
A clone was sitting in front of the computer, watching the live stream.
Meanwhile, Ren Suo's True Form had activated the Spiritual Energy Aggregation Device and was sitting on a meditation cushion, engaged in cultivation.
The Fourth-Stage Cultivator certification was more stringent than expected. He feared that officials from Sky Capital might come for an inspection, which was why Ren Suo had not yet received the third chapter of the Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records, nor had the cultivation network opened up more Fourth-Stage Spells for him.
However, Ren Suo didn't mind. I'll just spend every moment at night diligently working on 'Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Record - Mortal Shedding'. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; great rivers and seas are formed by accumulating small streams. I shouldn't stop cultivating just because I haven't learned new Cultivation Techniques. Instead, I must work even harder to prevent my body and Qi Cyclone from becoming lax. Besides, my body's talent improves with each cultivation session.
Although Ren Suo believed he was destined to obtain the Door of Truth, transcend all mortals, and rule over Truth, putting all my eggs in one basket would be an irredeemable arrogance. Maintaining steady progress in strength while striving for a life-altering miracle—that's a viable plan for an adult. Even without the resurgence of Spiritual Energy and the Mini-World Game Console, I should maintain my government job while exploring additional income streams. Being a self-media writer, video creator, or cartoonist... these professions have high potential rewards with low entry barriers, ideal for part-time work.
My past self wasn't very mindful, but I inadvertently chose the right path. Being a Healing Cultivator at the academy and an external consultant for the Tactical Bureau suited my daily work well. And being a player for the Mini-World Game Console—a promising side job that only requires occasional attention—is a truly unique opportunity, comparable in value to being a personal bodyguard for a beautiful CEO.
Therefore, Ren Suo followed the life plan he had stumbled upon and cultivated diligently when not playing games.
And thanks to the bonuses from three "Thinking Cards" and "Reaction Cards," I can now manage computer work through my clone while my True Form simultaneously cultivates. The only problem is that this accelerates glucose consumption in my True Form, making me extremely hungry by morning. However, that's precisely when I can go to Dong Chengling's house for breakfast and replenish my energy. Moreover, the hungrier I am during the meal, the more delicious the food tastes, and the more Dong Chengling's affection price will rise. It's a win-win-win situation!
So it isn't my True Form going into battle, huh...
Ren Suo wasn't surprised to see Ren Naiser live streaming. He could even accurately predict the stream's start time because, after he confirmed and uploaded the save file for the first level, the game's progress had stalled. The game icon also displayed a disc-spinning animation, clearly indicating that it would wait for the save data to be reflected in reality before "Door of Truth" would unlock the second level and update trading privileges.
But Ren Suo had initially thought he himself would become the Gatekeeper and fight. After all, he and the Gatekeeper were completely synchronized; logically, one could naturally conclude that "he *is* the Gatekeeper."
Ren Suo was prepared for this. If his previous adventures involved reluctant and forced battles, this time he was willingly stepping onto the battlefield. It wasn't even an adventure, as he had already arranged everything in the game; this was going to be a dazzling, field-dominating victory.
Shedding a little sweat to obtain the Door of Truth was worth it.
However, even when the live stream began, Ren Suo was still at home.
The one who truly went into battle was a golden-haired, handsome young man, similar in physique to Ren Suo but drastically different in appearance!
"Useless, useless, useless, useless! Changsheng, your Azure Dragon Crescent Wind is strong, but if it can't hit anyone, it's nothing more than a cooling breeze."
The Gatekeeper found an opening in Changsheng's storm of slashes, rushed in close, and, laughing madly, his palm ignited with explosive flames as he thundered an attack!
"An Illusion Technique that inverts your vision? Don't use your superficial life experience to fathom the power of Truth. Such childish games are not worth mentioning."
The Gatekeeper evaded Qingqiu's sneak attack, Cold Ice blooming from the tips of his toes, freezing Qingqiu in place like a Han Dynasty beauty sealed in an ice coffin.
"If you hide underground, then be prepared to be trampled."
"When you charge head-on, don't forget what's behind you."
The Gatekeeper stomped the Little Bald Guy emerging from the ground back down, his body turning ethereal. He passed directly through the charging, white-haired burly man Ba, even grabbing Ba's collar from behind and throwing him towards the stealthily approaching Mount Taibai!
"Yun Wangshu, what are you nervous about? After Ren Han pacified the Shu Han Ghost Army, the three kingdoms became Jin, and the land entered a rare period of peace. Wasn't it natural for Ren Han to use this time to have more children and build more roads?"
"That era was different from now; he and you had no chance of being together constantly, nor could morality regulate cultivators and Earth Spirits. Besides, the battle with the Shu Han Ghost Army halved the Ren Family. As the Family Head, wouldn't he need to work hard to prevent his family from being wiped out?"
"His second Spiritual Exchange partner isn't far from here. It's at Xiaoyaojin, where the Emperor of Wu, Sun Quan, suffered a great defeat. He encountered the water spirit of Xiaoyaojin's river when he went to eliminate the local Demons... she was a charmingly gorgeous spirit, fully embodying the gentle beauty of the South."
As the Gatekeeper spoke, he conjured a human-shaped ice sculpture. Though its features were indistinct, its graceful form was evident.
This, naturally, wasn't the water spirit from Xiaoyaojin. Rather, Ren Suo had opened a secret database on his computer and was creating the outline based on image data.
"How do you know all this!?" Yun Wangshu didn't question the content but, with a complex expression, pressed the Gatekeeper about his source of information. "Did Ren Han tell you?"
"Why would I need Ren Han to tell me?" the Gatekeeper said with a smile. "I am the Gatekeeper of the Door of Truth. Past, present, future, all things, all principles—I see them as clearly as fire."
"I can see you're eager to know about Ren Han. Meeting is fate, and besides, you all are far too weak. I've already lowered my strength to your level, yet I can still crush you effortlessly. I am, after all, merely an insignificant Gatekeeper of the Door of Truth... I'm idle anyway, so let's chat about the interesting tales of the Fairy Palace cultivators. Harvesting shock from your faces would also be an amusing pastime."
Just as Ren Suo did in the game, the Gatekeeper's tone was extremely sarcastic. This was because Ren Suo was using the "Arrogant Humility's Mouth" while playing; as Yun Wangshu and the others perceived the Gatekeeper to be showing off, his strength would steadily increase.
To crush this group from the Sunset Red Earth Spirit Dance Troupe with his Fourth-Rank Cultivation, Ren Suo had exhausted every means at his disposal.
Even though he could completely remember their attack patterns from multiple playthroughs, the variables in a multi-person melee were too numerous. Ren Suo had to enhance his own strength to increase his margin for error, allowing him to maintain this dominant posture and crush them.
However, this mocking tone, along with the revelations meant to enrage Yun Wangshu, provoked intense reactions from countless live stream viewers—
"Incredible! This 'Door of Truth' sounds so mighty, but it's actually for gossip? Is the Gatekeeper some kind of super paparazzo?"
"Ren Naiser is still the best! It's like, while the Gatekeeper's 'wife' is off gossiping with other people, we're all here gossiping about *him*!"
"Ren Han actually had seven wives! Sorry, I'm not qualified to sympathize with him."
"I never thought Ren Han, you who look so honest with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have enough wives to form an idol group!"
"I'll give you artists one day. Tomorrow night, I want to get off to the comic 'Ren Han and the Seven Spirits'! 'Ren Han Suppresses the Gatekeeper' would also be great!"
"Wait, the Gatekeeper's voice sounds male, right?"
"What are you saying? Afu, wouldn't you get off to that?"
Compared to the Gatekeeper's battle suppressing formidable enemies, many viewers were more interested in Ren Han's romantic life.
Every time the Gatekeeper revealed a new piece of information, countless bullet comments would flood the screen. While it didn't quite reach the level of Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred, many people certainly used the opportunity to vent their emotions, making it a veritable late-night carnival.
In this era of entertainment unto death, the revered Ren Han of the Fairy Palace had once had seven wives. Although this didn't completely shatter his public image, it satisfied many people's voyeuristic desires—entertainment news and paparazzi exist precisely to cater to this human urge.
Ren Suo hadn't anticipated watching the live stream from his computer, but that didn't stop new ideas from bubbling up, which he immediately decided to act upon.
Equipped: "Super Unnamed Account."
In "Light and Dark Traitor," Ren Suo and Los had both used this item to break through electronic blockades. However, this was merely a superficial and simple application for emergencies. To use this item correctly, one should learn from Sony.
Sony had once used the superior privileges of a Divine Descendant to create countless sock puppet accounts to troll people online. The "Super Unnamed Account" was a top-level privilege, overriding all others and working universally across any logically formed network based on the same protocol.
Looking back, Ren Suo realized he should have used this item to impersonate other Bloodline Great Law holders and Battle Zone Commanders. By sowing discord and framing others, he could have thrown Didra into chaos effortlessly, without needing him or Los to personally intervene.
However, it wasn't too late to realize this application now.
Thus, in the "Door of Truth" global synchronized live stream—a transcendent video that used black-ops tech to hit the top of trending lists on all websites, instantly garnering hundreds of millions of views—
while everyone was still immersed in the Gatekeeper's fierce battle with the Earth Spirits, or taking notes on Ren Han's romantic history,
suddenly, an avatar with "Ren Han" written in bold, forceful calligraphy, accompanied by text in a sharp, sword-like script, forcefully inserted itself onto the left side of the live stream video:
"Ren Han: You really think I, Ren Han, don't go online? World Tree, what is the meaning of this? If you can't manage the Door of Truth, the Fairy Palace can certainly manage it for you."
Hundreds of millions of viewers were stunned for a moment. Some viewers on websites with a live-chat feature immediately chose to close the chat, yet the text remained.
Soon, flames and frost erupted on the right side of the video, and the bust of a handsome, white-haired male Magician condensed within them. Accompanying it was text adorned with special flame and ice effects:
"Magician: You, Ren Han, act with integrity and righteousness. What have you to fear from the Truth? According to the covenant, during the Door of Truth's trial period, the Gatekeeper may exercise all attendant authority. He has not overstepped."
The calligraphy on the left side was razor-sharp, emitting cold glints of light.
"Ren Han: But he is insulting me, and I do not appreciate being spied upon."
The script on the right side blazed like a wildfire.
"Magician: Telling the truth can hardly be considered an insult, nor does it count as spying. Is that a secret known only to you? I think not. Surely your children and family are also aware of your... colorful reproductive history?"
The calligraphy on the left looked as if it were about to carve into the video itself.
"Ren Han: Compared to you, my history is hardly colorful. You took over the seven legacies of the previous magician and even turned the last Holy Grail Magician into your personal prize. The World Tree will flourish with descendants because of you, won't it?"
The flames of the script on the right turned pitch black, and frost had already encrusted the top and bottom edges of the video. By this point, however, no one was watching the actual live stream content anymore.
"Magician: Ren Han, you will pay a heavy price for insulting a Magician of the World Tree."
"Ren Han: Excellent. Since I cannot currently make the new Gatekeeper of the Door of Truth pay for insulting me, collecting some interest from an old acquaintance like you first is not a bad choice."
"Magician: Dragon Witch Ancient Ruins."
"Ren Han: Precisely what I had in mind!"
Just then, the lowest ring of the Door of Truth in the video ignited with flames. The Gatekeeper withdrew from the battlefield, laughing. "It's getting late. Playing with you all was quite fun, but I should be heading back now."
Yun Wangshu, who had been suppressed and unable to counterattack from the very beginning, bit her lip and asked, "You still haven't given me the answer!"
"The answer? Oh, you mean which Earth Spirit Ren Han truly fell in love with," the Gatekeeper chuckled. "Don't doubt your intuition. Your feeling is correct."
"The only Earth Spirit Ren Han ever truly loved... was you. The former Fairy Wang Shu, the present Yun Wangshu."
Yun Wangshu stood frozen in shock. The Gatekeeper turned his head towards the Door of Truth, and then both the door and the man vanished on the spot.
The screen plunged into darkness, leaving only a single line of sword-style text, almost overflowing the screen with killing intent—
"I swear on the name of my ancestor, Ren Woxing, that the World Tree will pay a terrible price today!"
Then, the live stream ended, and the screen went dark.
Leaving only hundreds of millions of baffled viewers.
Those who couldn't understand Chinese hurriedly sought online translators; those who could, placed their hands on their keyboards, their emotions so stirred that they began to frantically mash keys.
Soon, countless posts with sensational headlines exploded across the internet—
"History's Most Epic Call-Out: Magician of the World Tree, Don't You Dare Leave After School!"
"Magician Overly Protective, Ren Han Hot-Tempered: Do Transcendents Only Cultivate Their Lifespan and Not Their Character?"
"A Woman and a Man Battling in the Wild Ignites the Fury of Two Other Men!"
