632 You All Need to Get Electrocuted! (1/2)
”What… are you guys talking about?”
Xuan Mo spent two long breaths of time but was still unable clear up her thoughts—even her rushing water immortal spirit could not wash the haze that clouded her mind. After twenty days, the scene in front of her didn't seem to have changed. On the field, Wang Lu's body had turned into a phantom as he incessantly wrote and wrote. Hundreds of thousands of manuscripts had been written and covered the lawn neatly like a vast expanse of white, like a winter snowfield. On the rostrum, the Supremes of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals were still quietly watching. On the other side, the Earth Immortals were concentrating on the scene and discussing with each other endlessly.
Hearing Xuan Mo's question, the several Earth Immortals answered her without turning around, ”Of course we're discussing the story. Oh, the battle with the three Holy Spirits has finally started. The protagonist side is indeed really strong, they steamrolled their opponent all the way… ah, the great Holy Spirit has sent out a hidden consummate skill. The villain's strength is really also not a small matter, they would not just wait helplessly for death.”
Xuan Mo asked, ”... Are you guys reading 'Starting from Zero'?”
”What else could it be? Such a wonderful novel is rarely seen in my entire life! Hey, Xuan Mo, you have woken up?”
Xuan Mo angrily replied, ”Hah, you guys found out only now? I asked you guys to help me watch Wang Lu and not let him play any tricks. But now, what are you guys doing instead?”
After being scolded by Xuan Mo, the Earth Immortals finally came to their senses. One of them then smiled helplessly and explained the ins and outs to Xuan Mo.
On the same day when Xuan Mo fell asleep, the rest of the Earth Immortals began to pay close attention to Wang Lu to prevent him from playing any tricks. According to their expectation, with ten times or tens of times acceleration, it would take Wang Lu no less than one or two days to finish writing the novel. As a result, after three days, the story still continued. Wang Lu was so immersed in his writing that he could not stop himself.
At that time, they thought, ”This guy wouldn't try to deceive them by writing random nonsense characters, right?”
That thought seemed to make sense, though. No matter how long a novel was, it couldn't possibly be forty or fifty million characters long, right? That being the case, what was he writing now?
Thus, the Earth Immortals began to take a serious look at his newly written words, trying to find any inconsistency. As a result...
”When we came to our senses, that was only a few moments ago.”
Xuan Mo simply accepted their explanation. ”You guys… are all magnificent Earth Immortals. Your immortal heart is valiant and pure, so much that it is no less than that of the True Immortal. Yet, you guys were captivated by a novel which he conveniently wrote down?”
The Earth Immortals anxiously argued, ”Of course not, but when we first read the novel from the beginning, we found that the plot was really coherent, there were no plotholes, so there was no way for us to stop him halfway. Hence, we have to continue to see it until he exhausted his skill. Who knew that the could still maintain the story quality even at the speed of more than ten million characters a day!”
Xuan Mo was also startled. ”Even with ten million characters a day, his story has never crashed yet? How is this possible? Common novels are usually just several hundred thousand characters in length even for the long ones. Up to now, he had written more than one hundred million characters, so what on earth is he writing about?
”The storyline itself is simple, it's nothing more than upgrade and killing. It's just that, after a certain period of time, there would be something like 'new expansion pack open', which would suddenly strengthen the depth of the story. And when there is really no more new expansion packs to be opened, he also designed a 'server restart', which is to let the protagonist return to the initial state and the plot starts again…”
Hearing this, Xuan Mo hurriedly interrupted, ”Is this rude plot processing not worth stopping? This is clearly a malicious plot delaying!”
The Earth Immortals wryly smiled. ”But the server restart is to save one of the protagonist's lovers. Although all the levels have returned to zero, the people who are bound to die survived, and even the destiny has been changed. Moreover, they, after all, have experienced the path of 'Starting from Zero'... the price is entirely acceptable.”
”So, is that okay? If this goes on, how long until it ends?”
The Earth Immortals said, ”We are also guessing when this Starting from Zero would end. According to the result from those who are good at deduction,t it would take at least a year…”
”... A year? This is already a hundred times acceleration. Does that mean if no one stopped him, he could keep writing for a hundred years?”
The Earth Immortals nodded in admiration. ”Yes, this kid is really amazing.”
Xuan Mo could not help but sigh with emotion. ”T-This is ridiculous…”
With that, she stood up, ready to gather the energy ball once again.
However, right before she began, her companion stopped him. ”Don't be impulsive, if you do it again, your immortal spirit will collapse.”
”But…”
”You've done enough, no one could criticize you anymore. Let's just wait for him to come out.”
”Black…”
Xuan Mo, of course, knew that once Black came forward, any problem would no longer be a problem. It was only because she was uncertain about the length of the novel that she became anxious.
Since their defeat against the Fallen Immortal, the attitude of this black-clad person, who considered himself as a sinner, toward Earth Immortal was that of detached. Sometimes, even when the undertaking of the Earth Immortals encountered a huge setback, they did not see him appear to help him.
That was why, since Xuan Mo wasn't sure if Wang Lu would continue to delay time indefinitely and that if the black-clad person would come forward to stop it, Xuan Mo initially spared no effort to make her move.
Then, did she have to resign herself to fate?
While Xuan Mo was still undecided, the several Earth Immortals had begun to re-immersed themselves in the magnificent world of starting from zero.
”Hey, the three Holy Spirits have been knocked down. Then, the protagonist could finally get the mirror of nirvana to restart the world line so that the women of the earth could be rebor,n right? Ah, the plot that we have been expecting for one hundred million characters is finally starting!”
