Chapter 436 - 68: Version Upgrade and the Secrets of the Pillar Gods
’What happened to me?’
’And where is this place?’
Countless shuttles flew between skyscrapers.
Skyscrapers stood tall in every direction.
The crowds on the street were like a sea of people.
Looking at this familiar yet strange scene, Cheng Hua’s mind was a blur.
But in the next moment, he slowly began to come to his senses.
Because in this strange city, he finally noticed the familiar script!
’I’m back?!’
’I’ve returned to Blue Star? Was everything before just a dream?’
The moment his mind cleared, Cheng Hua shook his head with a bitter smile.
’How could it have been a dream~’
’If it were a dream, Blue Star wouldn’t look like this.’
And when a thought crossed Cheng Hua’s mind, he froze on the spot in the next instant.
Because as an Ascender Player of the Cosmic Game, he was the Sinful God, and the Sinful God was him—just like the concept of integration in the True Game.
Therefore, with a single thought, he could check his status and location through the information on his data panel.
But what was the result?
The data panel appeared!
But the data panel that appeared had changed drastically.

[Identity: Blue Dragon] (Water-attribute Dragon)

[Body Length: Approx. 2,000 kilometers]
[Ordinary Skills: 1. Frost Breath, 2. ...]
[Rule Skills: 1. Purification of Impurities, 2. ...]
——————
[Note: Because the Player participated in the major event ’Massive Game Version Update’, you have received massive rewards!]
[Reward 1: Your Sinful God body has been reclaimed by the True Game. You have received a Strong Dragon Level Divine Tier character reward and have returned to your original faction.]
[Reward 2: You have obtained the qualifications of a True Game Player and have also received the reward for the ’Civilization Guardian’ quest!]
[Reward 3: You have gained the attention of the Chief Player, you have received the recognition of the Cloud Court Dragon Clan, and you have obtained the position of Deacon among the Thirty-six Deacons of the Cloud Court Dragon Clan.]
...
It had to be said, the moment Cheng Hua saw the rewards he had received, he was utterly dumbfounded for a very, very long time!
But, the moment he came to his senses, as if he had thought of something, he immediately immersed his consciousness in a certain forum he had longed to visit for a long time.
That’s right.
Cheng Hua entered the Player forums.
And he immediately saw the pinned version update announcement for the True Game!
[Major Announcement! True Game Full Version Upgrade Details:
1. During the full version upgrade of the True Game, no new Player qualification selections will be accepted. Player qualifications will be opened again after the upgrade is complete.
2. This version update adds new friendly faction units: the faction belonging to the God of All Machines, the faction belonging to the Mother of All Things, and the faction belonging to the God of Thousand Faces. Please check the specifics for more details.
3. This version update adds the God of Fierce Sun faction. The God of Fierce Sun is the Chief Player. All Blue Star faction Players and Star Empire forces will belong to the Chief Player ’Fiery Sun Dragon’s’ faction.
4. This version update adds a faction conflict module. All faction conflicts will be determined by the will of the Four Great Gods.
5. In this version update, rewards for all future Player quests will be increased by at least double. Please take note.
6. This version update adds thirty-one new maps. After the version upgrade is complete, thirty million new Player qualification selection slots will be opened at the same time!]
The version upgrade consisted of a mere six points.
But every single one of those six points was earth-shattering.
Inside the version update thread, countless Players were already in a heated discussion.
"What the hell?"
"How did I wake up to find the whole world has changed?"
"New factions? The Four Great Gods? What’s all this about? The Chief must have quietly pulled off something big again!"
one Player exclaimed in shock.
"This definitely has something to do with the Chief, but it’s absolutely related to the True Game’s operating mechanics, too!"
"They’ve suddenly opened up a much bigger map!"
"For all these years, we, the Star Empire and the Blue Star Players, have had it easy. It seemed like we were invincible, but what’s the result?"
"Just as I thought, the True Game never gives us too much time to relax!"
"Another huge map, and they’ve added three powerful beings on par with the Chief. I really don’t know how things will develop from here!"
"Not to mention, there’s a faction conflict module after this update. There’s bound to be some fighting between us and these so-called ’friendly units’!"
"The True Game is starting to ramp up the difficulty for us!"
a Player analyzed.
"Difficulty? Difficulty, my ass."
"Didn’t you see that all future Player quests will have their rewards at least doubled?"
"It’s great that they opened up a bigger map! How are we supposed to get more opportunities if they don’t?"
"Conflict brings progress. I think this update from the True Game, after such a long time, is awesome!"
"..."
"Awesome? Does anyone here know anything about these Three Gods’ factions? If this all goes south, let’s see who’s still laughing then!"
The Player forums were in an uproar.
Meanwhile, Cheng Hua was completely stunned!
’What in the world is going on?’
’While I was unconscious, it seems the True Game reached some kind of ’cooperative’ agreement with the Cosmic Game?’
’Otherwise, my current self and this True Game update would have never appeared.’
’Was it the Chief’s Power that made the Three Gods wary?’
’Or was it the Power of the True Game that made the Cosmic Game wary?’
’Is that why this situation ended up happening?’
