The Game with Fairies

The Blood Lotus Sect was able to grow and strengthen thanks to the miracle of the Four Directions Cauldron, which could resurrect its followers from death.

This was the core competitive advantage of the Blood Lotus Sect.

However, the resurrection of the followers by the Four Directions Cauldron depended on the infant spirit Shen Miao trapped within.

This little girl was sacrificed by her father to the Four Directions Cauldron right after birth, trapped inside, cut off from the world.

She was even subjected to some kind of spell that made her forever optimistic and happy, serving the Blood Lotus Sect without regret.

But now, as a spiritual energy storm sweeps through the world, Shen Miao inside the Four Directions Cauldron has begun to show signs of life.

She even actively sought help from Li Muyang.

If he could take this little girl out of the Four Directions Cauldron, then the spiritless Four Directions Cauldron would no longer be able to activate its power, and the miracle of the Blood Lotus Sect’s followers being resurrected from death would no longer be displayed.

The strongest reliance of the Blood Lotus Sect would completely disappear!

Thinking of this, Li Muyang no longer hesitated and directly accepted Shen Miao’s commission.

The next second, a system loading bar popped up in Li Muyang’s field of vision.

【Commission from the infant spirit accepted】

【Fun game “Endless Evolution” is upgrading…】

【1%——3.7%——6.2%】

The progress bar in his field of vision loaded rapidly.

This was the fastest Li Muyang had ever loaded a new game.

In less than three minutes, the new game was successfully loaded.

The moment the progress bar finished loading, Li Muyang’s vision went dark as he was forcibly ejected from the game “Endless Evolution” and returned to the system’s main interface.

A vast scroll unfolded in his vision, with the list of system games in the upper left corner.

《Beginner Tutorial–Mystery of Loushan City》(Closed)

《Deadly Weed》(4/5)

《Three Kingdoms: Demon Subduing Record》(Closed)

《Legend of Sword and Fairy》(Closed)

《The Call of the Mountains》(Closed)

《Endless Evolution》(Closed)

《The Fall of the Fairy》(Closed)

《The Infant Spirit’s Yearning》(New)

The original fun game “Endless Evolution” was closed and replaced by the new game “The Infant Spirit’s Yearning.”

Li Muyang selected the new game and entered “The Infant Spirit’s Yearning.”

The familiar scroll unfolded in his vision, with endless ink flowing across it.

But this time, as the ink flowed on the scroll, there was the clear sound of splashing water.

Finally, amidst the sound of water, the ink converged into the image of a crying baby in a red swaddle.

The baby’s cries echoed through the scroll.

Mixed with the cries was a man’s deep voiceover.

“…Born as twins, yin and yang together, my lady, this is a gift from the heavens to our sect.”

The next second, the ink on the scroll shifted.

The baby in the red swaddle was surrounded by flames, burning, and against the black and white background, the red swaddle and the fiercely dancing flames were strikingly vivid.

The baby cried out in pain as the flames licked her greedily and madly.

The man’s deep voiceover continued.

“…Sacrifice my blood, offer my lineage.”

“May my daughter enjoy eternal joy, free from pain in this life!”

The flames suddenly exploded, burning everything on the scroll to ashes.

The black and white ink flowed on the blank scroll, and the blood-stained infant lay confused and alone in the deserted city, her chubby little hands instinctively crawling forward.

“Wah! Wah! Wah!” (Crying sfx)

The child’s cries echoed in the silent, deserted ghost city.

No response came from the fog-enshrouded ghost city.

The ink on the scroll continued to flow, and the baby in the ghost city grew rapidly.

She learned to walk, to speak, to see the scenes of the mortal world.

“Sister!”

“Father!”

The happy infant spirit clapped her hands and called out to the two people in her vision, but the two people she saw were completely unaware.

The ink kept flowing, and the blood-stained infant spirit grew taller, her smile becoming more and more joyful.

She spun around the city and flew through the shadows alone.

Until she heard some noise outside the city and leaped onto the city wall, she was surprised to see a huge, ferocious creature emerging from the sinister fog outside.

The jade-like slender body appeared like a mountain in the sinister fog.

The thick fog surged, even disturbed by the massive creature.

The giant mantis head, larger than the city towers, loomed in and out of the fog.

The creature looked down from above at the girl on the city wall, who seemed incredibly small in contrast.

But on the girl’s face was a happy smile.

“Brother-in-law!”

She looked up happily, staring straight at the terrifying giant creature.

Behind the huge and fierce mantis, in the void, one could vaguely see a rugged face appearing in the sky, its eyes half-closed, as if a god from beyond was looking down upon this broken land.

The opening CG scene froze at this moment.

The face in the sky with half-closed eyes, and next to it, clear black and white subtitles emerged.

【The holy fire rages, consuming all things】

【Blood Sacrifice of My Blood, Yin and Yang Born Together】

【Twin sisters born into the world, bound by a special bloodline, were seen as a gift from heaven by their father】

【As soon as they were born, they were separated for eternity】

【One’s blood sacrifice within the cauldron can awaken the divine might of the immortal artifact】

【The other, born alongside the world, can eternally solidify the spirit and soul of the infant spirit】

【The bond of blood kinship, yet it becomes the most terrifying shackle】

【However, at a certain moment, the infant spirit suddenly felt alive】

【She grew tired of this enslaved, monotonous, and lonely life; she wanted to leave this cage, to escape to the outside world】

【Even if the outside world was a dangerous and broken realm of ghosts and monsters, she was willing to risk it…】

The opening CG that emerged in the field of view, along with the revealed information, left Li Muyang slightly stunned.

This opening CG… is getting cooler and cooler!

Last time, there was only background music, but this time, they even produced a CG animation explaining the backstory.

Although he could roughly imagine her life from Shen Miao’s narration, the moment this lonely and desperate life experience turned into an opening CG and appeared before his eyes, Li Muyang was deeply shocked.

Especially that scene in the empty ghost city, where a baby was crying out for its parents while crawling through the fog… Li Muyang admitted he was shaken.

–This is… kind of tragic!

Shen Miao’s father is simply a damn scumbag!

The overly cool opening CG brought a huge emotional impact.

Li Muyang slumped in the lounge chair, taking a while to recover from the shock of the opening CG.

But he couldn’t help cursing.

“Damn, what a scumbag!”

He took a deep breath and entered the game.

The next second, the immense ghost city appeared in his field of vision.

The colossal Emerald Blade Mantis stood like a mountain outside the ghost city, with a girl on the city walls looking up at him.

The new game 《The Infant Spirit’s Yearning》 officially begins!
