The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

Seemingly shocked by Wang Hao's advanced ideas, the Bai Ze clan chief stood there without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wang Hao said calmly, "Clan Chief, the times are developing rapidly, and those who cannot adapt to the times will eventually be abandoned by the times."

"If the Four Realms and Three Realms were like this back then, the Bai Ze clan might very well be the next target to be eliminated."

"Even a powerful entity like the Forbidden Zone needs to keep up with the times. You don't think you can escape it, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the Bai Ze clan chief looked at Wang Hao and said, "I can understand adapting to the times, but why must adapting to the times mean abandoning the dignity of the strong?"

"Adapting to the times does not require abandoning dignity; to be precise, it means abandoning the dignity of the old era."

As he spoke, Wang Hao pointed to the powerful beings around him.

"In the traditional cultivation world of the past, the dignity of the strong was mysterious; to put it bluntly, it meant killing the whole family at the drop of a hat."

"Therefore, there is also the taboo that the names of the strong cannot be spoken directly."

"But times have changed. Killing an entire family or wiping out an entire clan at the drop of a hat will get you labeled a demon."

"Once you become a demon, you will be attacked by all the cultivators in the world."

"Being expelled from the forbidden area of ​​the Longevity Era is the most typical example."

"In this day and age, you don't need to put on airs or maintain an air of mystery."

"What the world values ​​is only the amount of resources you control."

"Chen Changsheng holds the key to the development of the times, so even if he fakes his death for 100,000 years, no one in the world will dare to laugh at him."

"I now have some power over virtual world top-ups, so even if I'm sitting here doing arithmetic, no one will laugh at me."

"People nowadays only laugh at those who have nothing but always act like they're superior!"

Upon receiving this answer, the Bai Ze clan chief looked around.

He discovered that, surprisingly, no one seemed to care about the appearance of Wang Hao, the second most powerful demonic cultivator in the world.

"But how can a strong person control a region if they don't maintain their authority?"

"Hahaha!"

Faced with the Bai Ze clan chief's questioning, Wang Hao smiled.

“The way to control the world does not necessarily have to be through force. Isn’t Chen Changsheng controlling the world right now?”

"He casually put together some bullshit 'live broadcast,' which attracted the attention of two great eras and even made me, the second-best demonic cultivator in the world, sit here and do his bidding."

"Isn't this level of control enough?"

"If you think that this kind of control cannot determine the life and death of other people, then you might as well think about it from a different perspective."

"If Chen Changsheng can send several geniuses to challenge the black hole in the universe today, he can naturally send other geniuses to attack the Bai Ze clan tomorrow."

"Once the live stream starts, there will be plenty of people in the world willing to kick someone when they're down."

"Your Bai Ze clan's defenses can hold off a number of people, but they can't stop the world's experts from plotting behind the scenes."

"You named this crappy live stream room yourself; you can call it whatever you want."

"If someone were to take advantage of your misfortune somewhere outside the Eternal Life Era, would you be able to find them by following the clues in the live stream?"

Wang Hao's words sent a chill down the spine of the Bai Ze clan chief.

He discovered that if the virtual world was truly hostile to the Bai Ze clan, the Bai Ze clan would have absolutely no chance of resistance.

"Openly instigating others to attack a faction—aren't the people behind it afraid of public opinion?"

"Of course I'm afraid, so there are more ways to kill in the virtual world than just this."

"If the Bai Ze clan insists on standing on the opposite side of the virtual world, then the virtual world will completely isolate your race."

"We will not share the world's cultivation techniques with you, we will not sell you the best elixirs, and no force is willing to buy any resources produced within your clan."

"Under a complete blockade, the Bai Ze clan will become a stagnant pool."

"Even if your race can function internally on its own, driven by extreme self-interest, countless people in the world will choose to take the risk of attacking you."

"What kind of ultimate benefit?"

Chief Bai Ze asked a question subconsciously, and Wang Hao rolled his eyes and replied.

"Chief, in this era, to be a good chief, you not only need to have good cultivation, but also to have intelligent wisdom."

"The virtual world covers the entire world, and 99% of the world's goods circulate on it."

"If items belonging to the Bai Ze clan are not circulated here, it will create a phenomenon called 'scarcity makes things valuable'."

"From the clan's most prized treasures to the specialties of the Bai Ze clan, the price of everything will double."

"By then, will you still be able to hold out?"

Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, the Bai Ze clan chief was so frightened that he took a step back.

"Who dares to invade my Bai Ze clan!"

"I dare!"

"Those prestigious sects might not attack you directly out of consideration for their reputation."

"But demonic cultivators like us have no such scruples. If we can make a fortune, we are naturally very willing."

"Perhaps you, Chief, possess extraordinary skills and are invincible, but I do not believe you can protect all your clansmen and their territory at all times."

“If you let your guard down, we bad guys will gnaw at your flesh and blood like maggots clinging to your bones.”

"Om~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Bai Ze patriarch unleashed a powerful divine force, attracting the attention of the powerful figures present.

Seeing this, Wang Hao quickly stood up and said, "It's alright, it's alright!"

"Chief, please stretch your body a bit, everyone please don't mind."

After Wang Hao's persuasion, the scene gradually calmed down.

"My chieftain, why are you so agitated?"

"That was just a hypothetical scenario. Since Chen Changsheng is so close to you, the virtual world share has also been prepared for you."

"So, in terms of allegiances, I'm on your side. Why are you so nervous?"

Upon hearing this, the Bai Ze clan chief slowly withdrew his divine power.

"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study."

"Now that you've told me, I understand how powerful the virtual world can be."

"Isn't Chen Changsheng afraid of incurring public outrage by making such a big commotion?"

"Of course he was afraid, which is why he faked his death to avoid the world and distributed the profits to everyone."

"If he doesn't drag all the top leaders of the two great eras into this mess, doing something like this is enough to make him die ten thousand times over."

"Some time ago, a Buddhist saint had murderous thoughts, and the two sides almost came to blows."

"But even if things have escalated to this point, Chen Changsheng still doesn't dare to waive the quota for Buddhist saints."

"Because he knew that if he isolated the Buddhist saint, the Buddhist saint would definitely fight him to the death."

"The initial stage of the virtual world cannot withstand this kind of disruption."

Upon receiving this answer, the Bai Ze clan chief pursed his lips and said, "So all of you have joined the fray just to get a bigger slice of the pie?"

"Yes!"

"Otherwise, what are we doing here?"
