If it was anyone else, they would not be able to recover from such a scene. However, Lu Xuan was shocked only for a moment before he calmed down. He knew very well that this was the information registration at the beginning of the game. There was no need to panic.

But no matter what game he played, Lu Xuan always used his real name. This was a habit he had developed over the past decade.

“Name matches the Life and Death Boat’s record. Good! Possesses the spirit of innate merit. Good! Our human race has another chosen one. Great!” Like a towering giant god, the ferocious Ox-Head spewed out dense mist as it shouted loudly, “Young man, go and adventure in the world of the gods.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ox-Head waved its large palm. The sky started to spin and Lu Xuan lost his five senses.

When he looked up, all he saw was a desolate village.

There was silence and there were no other players.

The dizziness gradually subsided. Lu Xuan stared at the empty village and could not help but feel confused. This was the first open beta for . After the server opened, countless players logged into the game. Under such circumstances, why did he appear in a beginner village with no players?

While Lu Xuan was still sizing up his surroundings, a soft voice rang in his ears.

[Beep Beep, congratulations for successfully activating and binding the privilege. As your level is too low, VIP 1 has been unlocked—10x EXP. VIP 2 has been unlocked—10x attributes.]

But… game privilege? System?

For a moment, Lu Xuan was slightly stunned. He knew clearly about all the VIP privileges stated by the notifications.

Damn Tencent’s pay to win games. VIP privileges can only be obtained by constantly recharging and one would be able to look down on everyone!

Be it the privileges of VIP 1 or VIP 100, they were basically cheats. Before transmigration, the player who charged 10 billion yuan and got VIP 7 was basically invincible and could defeat the world. If a person had the privilege of VIP 100… Holy shit, they would be able to destroy the universe.

After a while, Lu Xuan calmed himself down. He knew very well that subsequent activation of the privilege had to meet certain requirements. However, the VIP 1 privilege of [10x EXP] that he possessed was already considered heaven-defying.

What was most lacking at the start of a game?

It was definitely EXP!

Only with EXP could he rapidly level up!

Apart from EXP and levels, the rest weren’t worth mentioning.

The VIP 1 privilege [10x EXP] that he had obtained would allow him to quickly gain EXP and level up at the start of the game.

However, was too realistic. Lu Xuan had been in the game for more than ten minutes, and he didn’t feel that it was fake at all. Instead, he felt it was as real as reality.

Wait…

Lu Xuan shook his head and suddenly realized that he was in the game world. He said softly, “Check Character Attributes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Character Attributes were presented to him on a virtual screen.

[Heroic Spirit: None.]

Lu Xuan browsed through his attributes and couldn’t help but twitch his lips. These attributes were all five. Was it a joke? Were they trying to tell him that he was trash?

However, Lu Xuan did not feel sad because of this. He knew very well that this was just the beginning of the game. In order to achieve a balance in players’ game experience, new players in all had the same attributes.

He had the support from the privilege system. If he farmed diligently, he would be able to rise above the other players quickly. His trash-like attributes would also change quickly.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. A moment later, silver pillars of light appeared around him one after another. When the light dissipated, countless players arrived at the beginner village.

As the environment changed, the quiet village became especially festive after many players entered.

At this moment, inside the village, many new players were discussing fervently.

“Is the world of Divine Legends actually like this? It’s actually no different from the real world. It’s indeed a virtual reality game.”

“Happy! I’m the first batch of people to participate in the open beta and come to the game world. My dad didn’t lie to me!”

“It’s actually Young Master Waning Moon. Regardless of whether it’s in reality or in the game world, he is a heavenly prodigy.”

“God damn, where did this mutt come from? Get lost or I’ll show you the power of my sword.”

After many players arrived at the beginner village, the village became noisy. However, no one noticed that Lu Xuan had been waiting for a long time in a remote place.

[Beep! There are over a hundred million registered players from China. Activating Divine Legends’ expansion—The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber]

[In a world where martial strength rules supreme, he who possesses the Dragon Saber shall command the world and no one dares to disobey him. If the Heaven Sword doesn’t appear, no one will be able to contest.]

[All players, Faction has been activated. Please choose your favorite faction and begin your Divine Legends’ journey!]

While many players were discussing fervently, the system notification suddenly sounded in everyone’s ears. Upon hearing the content, everyone was shocked.

…

The sudden announcement of Divine Legends. caused the global forum to be flooded with countless comments.

At the same time, in the real world, China and the major corporations of the world had spent all their resources and manpower to search for information regarding the expansion, .

Game background? Faction distinction? Main storyline? Main characters?

All information pertaining to the expansion was constantly searched by many major corporations. They knew very well that was operated by the new era’s Photon Mind Fuxi1 alone. No one could control it.

As for the game’s mention of assimilation with skills, allowing the players to control them in real life, everyone was fascinated by it. Many noble families were crazily gathering information at the start of the game, planning to take the lead.

What about the ordinary players?

Who would care about their lives? Whether it was in reality or in the game world, they were still lowly civilians.

The aristocratic families lived up to their reputation. In just a short while, they found all the clues related to the expansion .
