Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players-Chapter 431: Awakening Holds the Power of the World

"Alliance Hierarch, can the subjects of our nation also comprehend?" a monarch from the Continent of Gods and Demons asked after listening to the translation.

"Anyone can, including those from the real world." Lin Bai nodded, glanced at the senior officials of the East-West Continent, and said, "The Way of Law has restrictions for Players but no restrictions for ordinary civilians. In the foreseeable future, with the intercommunication of the worlds, people from the real world cannot practice Divine Skills, and their technological level is hard to improve in a short time. This will inevitably put them at a disadvantage. Comprehending the Way of Law can mitigate this."

The Everything has shortcomings system requires the world's population to understand the Way of Incompleteness, rewarding the Earth Deficiency Art.

With great power in his hands, Lin Bai was naturally going to forcefully promote Incomplete Techniques.

All worlds must synchronize their promotion. What if subsequent tasks require more people?

People in the real world have always been constrained, and society is also in total chaos.

The senior officials of the East-West Continent initially thought Lin Bai would limit them due to their Player status. However, they were surprised and exhilarated to find he had no such intention. "Thank you for your understanding, Alliance Hierarch," they said.

"Under the Heavenly Dao, all lives are equal. It's just the gaming companies causing trouble behind the scenes, leading people on with their greed; they can be forgiven. Slowly educate and guide them. Once everyone realizes they can achieve longevity and rewards by their own efforts, not just others' charity, all hazards will naturally be resolved." Lin Bai smiled and looked at Cheng Xunyun and the others. "Relying on gaming companies might lead to a loss of freedom or memory in the future. Things achieved by oneself cannot be taken away by anyone."

"Thank you, Alliance Hierarch." The senior officials from the real world thanked Lin Bai again, their tone exceptionally sincere.

"Our Alliance Hierarch is indeed a benevolent person," General Chen sincerely commented. "He truly deserves to achieve the Heavenly Dao."

"Putting everyone on the same starting line, allocating resources between worlds, and ensuring everyone can enjoy the benefits of world integration will naturally eliminate the environment in which gaming companies thrive." Lin Bai smiled faintly. "The construction work that stalled before should resume. Information technology development cannot stop. People from the real world need to participate in the construction of other worlds. In case something goes wrong in the future, they would hesitate more to destroy what they have built with their own hands."

"What Alliance Hierarch says is indeed true." The Western Continent's parliament chairman smiled in response. "When everyone's benefits and emotions intermingle, hostility between us naturally dissolves. The way Alliance Hierarch handles this is truly brilliant."

"I can only do so much; your cooperation is needed." Lin Bai chuckled. "That's about it for my propositions. If anyone wants to add anything, please feel free to speak your mind."

"Alliance Hierarch, approximately one-tenth of our world's population is controlled by your Phoenix Seeks Phoenix and scattered in various places, which has greatly affected our economic development. Can they temporarily be freed to return to the real world?" the chairman of the Western Continent's parliament asked. "Many of their relatives have protested to us."

"No. They must serve as a warning until all the worlds are completely stable," Lin Bai glanced at him and said. "In chaotic times, harsh penalties are necessary. If protesting a few times can lead to their freedom, who will take my deterrence seriously? Those people have been tormented by me; they must hate me to the core. Letting them go free would introduce instability."

"Alliance Hierarch, when will they be granted their freedom?" the parliament chairman asked again.

"Once society has returned to order and I'm in a good mood, they will naturally be freed." Lin Bai spoke calmly, yet his words were cruel.

"If this continues, their mental states are bound to deteriorate..." the parliament chairman said.

"Any other questions?" Lin Bai ignored him and continued to ask.

"Alliance Hierarch, I am not against your impartial attitude towards all worlds. However, I believe that we shouldn't let people from the real world comprehend the Way of Law for now. The Way of Law isn't constrained by world barriers. Those ambitious people, once they've grasped the Way of Law and re-enter the game pods as Players, are bound to bring greater chaos." The monarch of Taiyi Country looked at the real world's top brass and said bluntly.

"Right, they're the Invaders. We should eliminate any special treatment for them," a monarch from the Continent of Gods and Demons said. "The knowledge of the real world's civilization is readily available. We can study it and build our own information networks. Our elites possess divine power. Once they understand the underlying principles, their construction work will surpass theirs."

The Players are the root of all the chaos.

Neither of the worlds they have wrecked is happy with Players having the same treatment as them.

The real world's top brass exchanged glances, all frowning.

General Chen argued, "Your Majesties, that wasn't our original intention; the gaming companies incited us. Suppose the gaming companies gave your people game pods, could you really stop them from invading other worlds? Alliance Hierarch Lin has made his decision. It's a bit excessive for you to dwell on this."

BANG! BANG!

Lin Bai knocked on the table a few times and said, "Next, I will switch from the Way of Love to the Heavenly Dao to confront the gaming companies with Supreme Divine Abilities. Under the Heavenly Dao, all things are equal. This matter is no longer up for discussion. Let's talk about something else."

「...」

The integration of worlds involved countless issues, such as culture, economy, military, and more. The discussion, a cacophony of differing opinions, persisted all day. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Fortunately, everyone present was an elite from their respective worlds, experienced in dealing with these complex issues.

Once Lin Bai had set the major policy, even without his participation, the group came up with excellent solutions.

「The next day.」

Justice Weekly successively published the Justice League's new future policies.

The world was in an uproar. The feedback from the real world was the quickest:

"Lin Bai is trying to dismantle the gaming company's strategies from the root!"

"He doesn't need to bother so much. With just one Phoenix Seeks Phoenix, I've already lost interest in the game."

"Looking at the terms he introduced, he didn't deliberately target us but treated us and people from other worlds equally. I feel that as long as I don't play the game, it wouldn't be bad letting Lin Bai be king."

"My family is tormented by Lin Bai in the game every day. Whatever he does, I will always oppose him as a die-hard anti-fan."

"There is still a difference in treatment. Lin Bai hung skulls all over the other worlds, which could boost the attributes of his fans, but there are none in the real world! Plus, we can't cultivate in the real world. Even if our attributes are improved, we are still no match for the people from other worlds. Divine Status probably won't be preferentially given to us either."

"I guess Lin Bai will be opening up immigration soon."

"Isn't there still the Way of Law? Once the Way of Law is comprehended, we can reach the sky in one step."

"Reach the sky, my ass! Hoping to comprehend the Way of Law is less reliable than hoping the gaming company can defeat Lin Bai!"

"Although we're seemingly treated equally, it still reduces the benefits given to us by the gaming company. We were originally supposed to have long lives directly, but now we have to cultivate. Only an idiot would want that."

"Let's wait and see. This is just Lin Bai acting unilaterally; the gaming company won't sit by and do nothing."

「...」

Besides Lin Bai's fans and some peace-loving people, most people in the real world sneered at the new policy.

The gaming company had just started to offer benefits, and they hadn't enjoyed them at all before they were forced to stop.

Unable to practice Immortal Techniques or Magic in the real world, they naturally lagged behind other worlds. Without the support of the gaming company, they were the lowest-ranking of all the worlds.

To them, Divine Status and the Way of Law were ultimately like pie in the sky.

Everyone was looking forward to the gaming company's follow-up actions.

However, as the country called, the fan clubs of the Justice League returned from other worlds to help maintain order.

The once chaotic world gradually returned to normal.

People went back to work, and those who farmed went back to farming.

After all, in the absence of the ability to enjoy the gaming world, people still had to live their lives.

Of course, while everyone was publicly protesting against Lin Bai, how many people were secretly trying to comprehend the Way of Law was unknown.

「...」

Unlike in the real world, Lin Bai's reputation in the Immortal World and the Continent of Gods and Demons was shining like the midday sun.

Believing in Lin Bai brought a five-level basic attribute bonus. Naturally, the people didn't mind worshipping a statue of Lin Bai in their homes every day, hoping to get a life-saving Divine Status.

After all, the gaming company had already become a well-known secret, like a huge stone hanging above everyone's heads. The days of peace were visibly coming to an end, so every ounce of protection counted.

The people of the Continent of Gods and Demons were accustomed to deities and hoped to gain Divine Status.

The people of the Immortal World did not quite understand the divine power of gods; they were more interested in the Way of Incompleteness peddled by Justice Weekly.

The latest issue of Justice Weekly had a highlighted title: "What Can You Understand From This?"

The main content consisted of several aesthetic drawings.

One was a portrait of Cupid, Alea, who had a broken arm; another was a portrait of the Earth Goddess who had lost her head; and the last one simply depicted half a face.

It was said that these pictures hid the secrets of incompleteness.

If one could understand their own Way of Incompleteness from these pictures and submit their findings to Justice Weekly, they might be chosen by Lin Bai. If so, they would get the chance to obtain Divine Status and join Lin Bai in understanding the Way of Incompleteness.

For a moment, everyone was eager for it.

They stared at the pictures with crazed fervor, pondering privately and forming various groups to have intense discussions.

「...」

In the end, probably only one person could understand the Incomplete Law. The chances were slim; it would most likely fall to Lin Bai.

After all, the aura around Lin Bai was too bright; he was proficient in all Ways of Law.

Many wise men believed that Lin Bai's search for the Three Thousand Sages was to help him understand the Way of Incompleteness, not to spread the knowledge widely.

But the Way of Incompleteness was the same as the Way of Love. Understanding a part of it was enough for divination; when Lin Bai was still weak, he could call out others' names instantly.

Moreover, Divine Status was real. Of course, even without Divine Status, as long as one could get closer to Lin Bai and offer a helpful word or two, they would have a chance to rise to prominence in a single bound. Countless facts had already proven that Lin Bai would not treat those around him badly.

「...」

One by one, manuscripts flew to the editorial department of Justice Weekly. After review, selection, and identification, they finally reached Lin Bai's desk:

"Finding Ultimate Beauty in Incompleteness"

"How Incompleteness Touches the Soul"

"Everything is Imperfect: Understanding the World through Incompleteness"

"The Evil of Incompleteness: Twisting Human Aesthetics"

"Embracing Incompleteness..."

「...」

"...Upon careful observation, everything is imperfect; incompleteness is eternal. So is life. Throughout the ages, observing all people in the world—from emperors and generals to common tradesmen and soldiers—there has never been a perfect life. Whether one had a successful career but a bad marriage, or was blessed with wealth but had deficient offspring... Therefore, the Way of Incompleteness is the Great Path."

"...Life is seldom as we wish; we cannot have everything we want and should only strive to have a clear conscience..."

「Dream Heavenly Palace.」

Xu Longyun was browsing through the submitted articles, reading some exquisite ones to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai listened absentmindedly, continually stuffing various Pill Medicines into Little White Fox's mouth and using Immortal Techniques to help her catalyze the medicinal power, forcibly accelerating her growth to complete the follow-up tasks of the Pet System.

The follow-up task of the Pet System was to help his pet increase its level.

Previously, raising Little White Fox's level had been a difficult task for Lin Bai. But now, with heavenly treasures and natural resources at his disposal, leveling up Little White Fox was as simple as eating and drinking.

In just a few days, Little White Fox had been forcibly advanced into a seven-tailed fox, even surpassing her mother by one tail.

But even with Lin Bai helping to regulate her meridians and assist her digestion, Little White Fox still suffered from some indigestion. Now, Little Fox was as plump as a ball.

However, she felt even better to the touch.

As Little White Fox leveled up, Lin Bai gained new Skills from the Pet System, such as Telepathy, which allowed him to freely understand his pet's thoughts, and Soul Exchange, which allowed him to exchange souls with his pet.

These Skills seemed useless, but they made him restless in some ways.

After all, Little White Fox's thoughts were too simple when she was with him.

Her mind was filled with thoughts like: "Master's hand feels so comfortable; I feel like my body is melting." "I wonder when Master will marry me." "If only I had a Jade Ruyi, I would definitely pull Master into my dream to sleep with him." "I dreamed about Master last night; his Law of Heaven and Earth form is so big, I really like it!" "Master keeps feeding me Pill Medicine; he must want me to grow up quickly," and so on.

A pet who thought all the time about sleeping with her master...

If Little White Fox had grown in body and not just in tails, Lin Bai might have really given in to her wishes.

After all, ever since Lin Bai had unified the world, the gaming company had stopped interfering.

Without a specific goal, Lin Bai had naturally become lazy. When idle, he would find other hobbies. These days, Xu Longyun and Jiang Qingqin stayed by his side.

Besides feeding the fox, the three of them had nearly no free time.

The Jade Ruyi that could make them enter dreams, the Mind Reading Ability that could read their minds, Bind the Immortal, Three Heads Six Arms, the Hand of Picking, the Art of Division...

Those Skills Lin Bai used to fight against enemies, when applied to love, were simply too pleasurable.

Both women's happiness radiated from their faces.

If the gaming company and the people behind the System never appeared again, Lin Bai would really get used to this kind of life.

It was so blissful!

Holding the world's power while sober, resting on a beauty's lap while drunk—this is the standard life of a transmigrator!

「...」

Meanwhile, Xu Longyun, watching Lin Bai playing with Little Fox, put down the articles in her hand. She teleported to his side, reached out to pinch Little White Fox's soft, plump face, and asked softly, "Husband, can these articles help you understand the Way of Incompleteness?"

"They can! How could they not? Xiao Yun, pick out some outstanding articles, distribute a few Divine Statuses as examples to publicize, and try to involve as many people as possible." Lin Bai smiled. "To be honest, their progress is a bit slow..."

His voice stopped abruptly because the notification for a completed task echoed in his mind: [Let half the world's population acknowledge incompleteness... (Completed); Reward: Earth Deficiency Art (Granted)]

Behind the Earth Deficiency Art, a simple note was added: "Take from the deficient to supplement the surplus."

Then, a new task was issued: [Let the populace in your ruling territory accept incompleteness...; Reward: Great Deficiency Art]
