Logically, Fanghu District's defenses should be more robust, making it potentially easier to navigate there, right?
[You tightly grip your coiled dragon spear and choose to head towards Fanghu District, hoping it hasn't fallen under the Abundance Alliance's onslaught.]
[...]
[1-3]
[You swiftly arrive at Fanghu District.]
[To your surprise, there are no orb protectors, no Abundance Alliance forces, no relentless warfare, and no Abundant Evil Creatures.]
[Fanghu District thrives with prosperity, its people content and flourishing, showing not a trace of war's devastation.]
How is this possible? With the Abundance Alliance bearing down on the border, Fanghu District would surely have been the first target.
Even if there weren't ruins everywhere or displaced citizens, shouldn't there at least be some signs of conflict?
[Puzzled by this, you approach an elderly man to inquire about the situation.]
[Perhaps due to Guan Feng's low charm value, the old man rolls his eyes, turns, and walks away.]
[You switch to Fox Shaman-Jianjia's form.]
[Soon, several Xianzhou residents gather around, showering you with attentiveness and continuous praise.]
Damn, isn't that too superficial? I'm losing hope in this simulation universe obsessed with appearances.
[Your head begins to throb slightly; foxfolk have a keen sense for danger.]
[A faint sense of unease creeps into your mind; you hope it's just paranoia.]
[You inquire about the Abundance Alliance from the surrounding immortal cultivators.]
[When mentioning the Abundance Alliance threatening Fanghu and the Xianzhou Alliance sending reinforcements, everyone around you can't help but burst into laughter.]
[They believe you're spinning tales akin to absurd fables.]
["What Abundance Alliance? And when did the Xianzhou Alliance ever send reinforcements? Miss, could you be talking in your sleep?"]
[This stark contrast intensifies your unease, prompting you to hastily flee the scene.]
[What has happened to Fanghu? Why is this situation unfolding? You remain uncertain.]
[Just as you prepare to hide and observe further, a sudden sharp pain stabs through your head, causing your body to sway unsteadily.]
[HP - 10%]
[HP - 10%]
[HP - 10%]
[...]
Bright red text flashes prominently, indicating a rapid loss of health.
[You died without ever discovering who was responsible.]
[Your soul is detected exposed in the wilderness. Would you like to immediately change bodies?]
[You switch to Vice Commander of the Rainbow Guard-Zuo Chao's body.]
Not long after, the glaring red text reappears again.
[HP - 10%]
Su Jinyan's eyelid twitched incessantly. There was no time to waste; he needed to identify his enemy. If this continued, all three of his bodies would perish here, forcing him to respawn at designated checkpoints.
[You have crafted a Predator arrow with tracking capabilities, able to pursue enemies.]
[You fire the arrow towards an empty area.]
[The arrow soars high, flying farther and farther until it becomes an indistinct speck vanishing from sight.]
[MISS—]
[Jupiter [Ji Dou Sea Serpent] has immunized itself against your attack.]
A chill ran down Su Jinyan's spine as he suddenly realized the source of his unease. From the moment he entered Fanghu City, he had fallen victim to Jupiter's Ji Dou Sea Serpent, trapped within its illusory realm.
[You have escaped the captivating illusion; your HP will no longer drain. The true gruesome reality of Fanghu City now unfolds before your eyes.]
[In the dim expanse of space, the living constellation Ji Dou Sea Serpent sings a sweet melody, bewitching countless minds.]
[Ordinary people stand expressionless, neither struggling nor resisting, as golden tendrils relentlessly grow from their mouths, noses, and every orifice.]
[Every individual present is becoming sustenance for Ji Dou Sea Serpent.]
[Only a few still resist.]
[You witness warships at the horizon darting back and forth, continuously firing beams of light, attempting to bring down the Abundant Evil Creatures unleashed by Ji Dou Sea Serpent.]
[You see orb protectors locked in relentless combat, fighting to the bitter end amidst bloodshed, battling the Abundant Evil Creatures fiercely.]
[You witness the Luofu Skyride deploying [Chuihong Guard], [Chunteng Guard], [Bi Fang Guard], and [Chang Qiang Guard] to reinforce Fanghu, confronting the Abundant Lands Allied Forces.]
[However, against the Abundant Lands Allied Forces, they can barely retaliate, making the situation perilous.]
["What are you waiting for?! Get into battle immediately!"]
A member of the Chunteng Guard, having slain a blood-eyed Ya Zi that lunged at you, shouts angrily.
[Brave Fool, what will you do?]
[Option 1: Join forces with other members of the Chuihong Guard, fight together amidst the bloody fray, and earn Cosmic Fragments.]
[Option 2: The defeat of Fanghu seems inevitable. Although fleeing is shameful, it may be prudent; become a dishonorable deserter.]
[Option 3: Do your utmost to awaken the orb protectors and Cloud Knights entrapped within the illusory realms.]
[Note: For each person successfully awakened, there's an added glimmer of hope. Before the final confrontation, rewards in Cosmic Fragments will be based on the number of individuals awakened.]
After a moment of contemplation, Su Jinyan chose the last option.
["Everyone, wake up! Don't succumb to these illusions any longer!"]
With a hoarse voice, you fervently shout while continuously evading the blood-eyed Ya Zi drawn by your cries.
[Simultaneously push and nudge those nearby, trapped in their illusions, hoping they will awaken.]
[In the distance, an azure ape evil creature roars towards you.]
[Shhhk—]
[An arrow of light strikes the azure ape's eye, causing its entire body to explode into mince.]
["It's futile, Zuo Chao, don't waste your strength," said an exhausted officer from the Chuihong Guard.]
["We've tried before; those ensnared by the illusion can only await death."]
["There is no way to wake them, even external stimuli won't rouse them." The officer's face bore signs of profound weariness.]
["Commander, Vice Commander of the Rainbow Guard-Zuo Chao requests to join the battle!"]
[You present your token, revealing your identity, deciding to engage first and strategize later.]
[The weary expression on the Chuihong officer softens with relief. "Good to have you back."]
["Our forces are disheartened; we desperately need someone like you to command the overall strategy."]
[With determination, you join the fray, assuming control over part of the squad. Drawing upon your extensive combat leadership experience, you deal devastating blows to the Abundant Evil Creatures.]
["Concentrated volley fire at three o'clock position, two rounds!"
["Rear Chuihong units, prepare explosive arrows to annihilate the Quimuwolf pack."]
["Blood-eyed Ya Zi incoming - Bi Fang Guard, step forward! Everyone, take antidote pills to resist the pheromones."]
[Under your command, the crumbling frontline gradually stabilizes and begins to hold against the Abundant Lands Allied Forces.]
[Your successful leadership has earned you 300 Cosmic Fragments as a reward.]
As Su Jinyan directed the battlefield situation, he pondered the issue at hand.
Logically, the designers of the Simulated Universe would not provide options that were impossible to succeed with.
If given an option, it must have some significance.
Unless the Herta's chip malfunctioned, deliberately creating a useless choice would be unlikely.
Although the war's tide slowly stabilized, on a broader scale, Fang Huo's defeat seemed inevitable; individual strength alone could not reverse the outcome.
