Wang Batian then soared into the sky, entered a royal-owned spaceship, and left shortly afterward.
After waiting for a while, Liu Shui finally regained some strength. At this moment, Grandpa Liu from next door came to Liu Shui's side with his cane.
"Shui'er, hurry inside and take a look. I heard your parents and sister screaming earlier. I'm afraid something must have happened."
"Oh dear, what a mess this is!" Grandpa Liu sighed as he returned home.
Liu Shui was a little confused: "Wh-what, Grandpa Liu, what did you say?"
Grandpa Liu didn't answer and went straight back to his house. Liu Shui was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening and immediately ran into his house with his medicine basket on his back.
"Ugh!" Liu Shui vomited, tears streaming down her face.
A horrific scene inside the room flashed into Liu Shui's mind.
A headless corpse was pinned to the wall with four chopsticks stuck in its limbs. The headless corpse was wearing Liu Shui's father's clothes.
Two naked, wounded corpses lay on the ground; they were Liu Shui's mother and sister.
"Why, why, why is Your Majesty doing this? Why, ah!"
Liu Shui turned his grief into motivation. He wanted to take revenge on Wang Batian, even if he was the strongest, most powerful, and noblest person in the Mingyu Empire. Liu Shui was determined to get revenge.
After burying his parents and sister, Liu Shui left the village and disappeared without a trace.
After going through many hardships, Liu Shui joined the guard team, which was the first step in his revenge. He was quite happy to see Liu Xiong earlier.
Liu Xiong left the village with his mother when Liu Shui was ten years old, so he didn't know what had happened in Liu Shui's family.
Now that things have turned out the way they were before, Liu Shui feels hopeless about revenge and is now preparing to dig a grave next to his family's graves.
Then he was laid to rest here, to be with his family.
It took Liu Shui more than an hour to dig the pit, and then another hour to build a mechanism.
As long as he lies down and pulls the rope, the soil on the wooden plank will bury him instantly.
Liu Shui carefully crawled into the large pit below, lay down, picked up the rope, and prepared to pull himself down.
"Hey, wait a minute, you idiot, why are you trying to commit suicide?" A voice appeared in Liu Shui's mind.
"Damn it, you can cultivate for another year. After a year, I will have absorbed enough spiritual energy and then I will be able to leave this bead."
Liu Shui was startled by the sudden sound, his hand trembled, and he tugged at the rope.
"My brother, slow down, slow down, don't pull, please don't pull the rope."
Fortunately, Liu Shui was afraid that he might accidentally pull the rope before he was fully inside, which could cause an accident, so he made the rope very long. This pull did not successfully trigger the mechanism.
Liu Shui asked, trembling, "Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?"
But then he thought that he was going to die soon anyway, so what was there to be afraid of? "Whoever you are, please leave, I'm going to pull the rope."
"No, please don't pull me! You want revenge, right? I can help you get revenge."
Liu Shui was completely incredulous: "You? Help me get revenge?" Liu Shui continued to pull the rope; there were only about fifty centimeters left to successfully trigger the mechanism.
"Really, I can help you get revenge. You also know that those special dungeons in the Infinite World are probably more than just games, right?"
Liu Shui: "What does this have to do with whether you can help me get revenge?" He pulled on the rope again.
"Do you remember what the seventh special instance was?"
This time, Liu Shui stopped pulling on the rope: "I remember, it was a very strong dungeon, named the Wind and Cloud Dungeon." Liu Shui had seen videos of slaying dragons and phoenixes on the forum and still remembered them vividly.
"Yes, it's the Fengyun dungeon. I come from the Fengyun world. That's right, every dungeon in the infinite world is a real world."
Zhou Hong was originally a rich second-generation heir on Earth. He bought a villa, married a beautiful and wealthy woman, and had already reached the pinnacle of his life.
On his wedding night, while he was consummating his marriage with his wife, he was so excited that he suffered a heart attack and died on the spot.
However, Zhou Hong did not die, or rather, Zhou Hong's soul did not die; he was reborn as the divine beast Phoenix of the Fengyun world.
He was originally extremely saddened that he hadn't even had a chance to consummate his marriage with such a beautiful and lovely rich and beautiful woman before he died. Now that he had become a divine beast, the phoenix, he was overjoyed.
The mythical phoenix, that's a phoenix! Later, because Zhou Hong learned about the plot of Wind and Cloud, he was able to escape Xu Fu's encirclement and annihilation.
Then, through gradual cultivation, he became increasingly powerful, eventually becoming the strongest being in the entire Fengyun world over a thousand years.
However, just ten years ago, the world of Fengyun was invaded, and it was a bunch of players who were the ones who invaded it.
Under the leadership of Emperor Mingyu, Wang Batian, all four divine beasts except Zhou Hong perished at his hands. (Lin Qing rescued Xuanwu and the Fire Qilin.)
In the end, Wang Batian found Zhou Hong and they fought a great battle. Although Zhou Hong was very strong, Wang Batian was even stronger and ultimately defeated Zhou Hong.
Then, using a secret technique, he enslaved the divine beast Phoenix. Of course, Zhou Hong was unwilling to be enslaved like this, so he directly separated his soul and attached it to a bead on one of the players.
Because he split his soul in two and entered the bead, he fell into a deep sleep, and somehow ended up in Liu Shui's hands.
When Zhou Hong saw that Liu Shui was about to commit suicide, he had no choice but to come out and stop him, otherwise he would be finished without the spiritual power that Liu Shui cultivated.

Liu Shui: "Although I believe what you're saying now, you're just a weakling whose body is enslaved and whose soul is trapped. How can you help me take revenge?"
Zhou Hong: "This tenth dungeon is the world of Jade Dynasty, where you can cultivate immortality and the spiritual energy is even more abundant. As long as I can get rid of Wang Batian's secret technique..."
"I can help you get revenge. Although I can't beat you now, I am at least a divine beast phoenix, which is countless times stronger than you."
Liu Shui: "That seems to be true. That's great, then I won't die."
Liu Shui immediately pulled and loosened the rope, then crept out of the pit as if on tiptoe.
Liu Shui: "What should I do now? The guards can't possibly get in."
Zhou Hong: "Why bother with the guards? Enter the Infinite World, find Wan Zhongshan in the tenth dungeon. I felt the aura of my body on him."
"Once I enter the body, I can control it and then not merge with the other soul."
"In this way, as long as Wang Batian doesn't come in person, I can escape his control. There must be some kind of restriction that prevents Wang Batian from appearing in the Infinite World."
"As long as Wan Zhongshan hunts down the strong people of that world, he will definitely be injured, and then I will be able to return to my body."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shui exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, that's great! But wait, what if Wang Batian enters the world of Jade Dynasty without any restrictions? How will you help me get revenge?"
Zhou Hong: "One year, just one year, and I can break that secret technique. Of course, you have to wish me to leave this bead first."
"If you now channel all your cultivation and spiritual energy into this bead, I will be able to break free from it."
Liu Shui exclaimed in horror, "Then I'm going to become an ordinary person? No, absolutely not!"
Zhou Hong: "What are you afraid of? After I get my body, I will restore you in less than a week and help you advance in a month."
Liu Shui: "Okay, but how am I supposed to enter the world of Jade Dynasty? The qualification for the special dungeon might not have been removed yet, but what's the use of the virtual pod if it's gone?"
Zhou Hong said with a sly grin, "I have a brilliant plan, hehe!"
...
"Why aren't they here yet?"
"Yes, we've been waiting for more than two hours."
"What's going on with Qingyun Sect? I went offline and had a one-night stand with my girlfriend, but when I logged back in, she still hadn't come."
"excellent."
"Wasn't it supposed to end after sunset? The sun has already set!"
Amidst the commotion, over three thousand players gathered once again in the plaza outside Qingyun Gate.
There were only players in the square, not a single local resident; they didn't have the ability to climb Mount Qingyun.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yicai and a hundred disciples of the Qingyun Sect arrived at the square riding on this magical artifact.
Each of these disciples brought along a few local residents with them.
All the players looked over, and Xiao Yi stepped forward and used his spiritual power to say, "Alright, everyone, you have passed the first test. Rest at Tongtian Peak for the night, and the apprentice-acceptance ceremony will officially begin tomorrow."
I, being a troublemaker, immediately said with some displeasure, "Immortal Master, didn't you say that only those who climb up to the Azure Cloud Gate are considered to have passed the test? What's going on with these people? They were brought up by you."
"Yeah, yeah, they don't keep their word."
“These people must be eliminated; we cannot allow them to join the Qingyun Sect.”
Hundreds of players started arguing, but Xiao Yicai wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "I've said it before, so what? The purpose of this test is to test your resilience and willpower."
"They all knew they couldn't climb any further, but they still kept trying. This kind of perseverance is exactly what our Qingyun Sect needs."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but more than a hundred players were still making a fuss.
Xiao Yicai's smiling face gradually darkened. Just as he was about to teach her a lesson, a voice came from behind him.
"Hmph, Qingyun Sect doesn't accept just anyone. Let's eliminate all those who just spoke."
"Greetings, Senior Dragon King." Xiao Yicai and his disciples hurriedly paid their respects.
Xiao Yicai: "What the Dragon King said is true. We definitely cannot accept these people. I will send them down the mountain immediately."
"What kind of senior are you? Who do you think you are?! You even want us eliminated."
"Yeah, you son of a bitch, believe it or not we'll kill you."
"Brothers, since we can't join anyway, let's just take down this big boss. Maybe we can get some divine artifacts or cultivation techniques." I am a troublemaker tempted.
Then, the more than one hundred eliminated players took out their weapons and prepared to fight.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yicai flew into a rage and shouted, "How dare you! Do you want to die?" All the Qingyun disciples prepared to attack.
"Brothers, what are you afraid of? Let's attack together. What are we afraid of with more than three thousand players? Let's just slaughter the Qingyun Sect today."
"I'm the troublemaker," I shouted, raising my arm.
Upon hearing this, the players also became excited. Qingyun Sect! They wondered how many rich loot items were inside.
As for whether they can defeat the Qingyun Sect, that's not something they can consider. They won't lose their levels or equipment if they die, so what's there to be afraid of?
"Yes, brothers, let's slaughter the Qingyun Sect today."
"Slaughter the Qingyun Sect."
"Slaughter the Qingyun Sect."
