"Defying Heaven"Official website forum.
After He Yi Ming recruited 88 players to go online, he never pay attention to it ever again.
The feature of the forum was also quite basic.
Except for the 88 beta players, who can log in directly with their ID, other people can't even register an account, all of them can only use a guest account.
They can't add any friends, can't send any private messages, not to mention they can't use any gif or emoji!
The entire website seems to be extremely outdated.
At that time, He Yi Ming set the maximum traffic to 1 million. People can still enter the website if they exceed the maximum number but they can't post or comment and the loading speed is also greatly affected, with the older posts being not able to open at all.
When the forum was completely empty, He Yi Ming didn't think too much about it.
"? ? ?"
But after He Yi Ming logged into the forum, he was quickly stunned.
The number of people online displayed on the official website has long exceeded one million and it was still increasing at an alarming rate.
The number of posts posted has also exceeded tens of thousands!
Almost all of the early posts were posted by the 88 beta players and they mainly focus on exchanging game info.
However, as more and more people learned of this game, more and more of them signed in to a guest account, they all saw the screenshots and game experiences posted by the beta players and started to beg for an access key.
"Can someone please give me an account?"
"When will this game have a second beta, I can't wait to enter!"
"I'm willing to pay for a VR helmet and account!"
"My opinions on Defying Heaven!"
"Beta test report!"
"Regarding the food of this game, I, Divine Tongue will teach you everything you need to know!"
.....
He Yi Ming glance through and found that there were many posts like these and almost 99% of them were begging for an account.
There were also many popular posts in the past, such as a video posted by Indominable_Panda name How To Beat The Graphorns In "Defying Heaven", and a video of him 1vs2 graphorns, etc., which all have at least 1 million views.
There was also the post posted by World Number One Ice Mage named How To Cast Frostbolt In Three Easy Step and My Experience With The Frost Spells And Its Pros And Cons which each has over 100,000 views.
But at this time, the top three most popular posts were none of these.
The top three most popular posts with each of them having over 3 million views and are still increasing at an astonishing rate with more than 10,000 comments were posted by three players.
Beef Noodle, World Number One Ice Mage, and Luffy!
The post made by Beef Noodle was the simplest but it was also the most popular of the three.
Out of curiosity, He Yi Ming clicked on the number one trending post.
"My name is Beef Noodle, out of curiosity, I want to know how many of you want to play Defying Heaven?"
The post made by Beef Noodle was very simple but the number of comments was baffling!
"Noodle Bro, I want to play Defying Heaven!"
"Noodle Bro, I want to play Defying Heaven!X2"
"Noodle Bro, I want to play Defying Heaven!X3"
.....
There were many comments like these on this post.
World Number One Ice Mage post was ranked second.
"Legendary Mission, Protecting the Golden Flame Sect Full Video!"
Hello everyone, I'm one of the 88 beta players, ID World Number One Ice Mage.
If you don't know anything about the game, you can view this post link here!
[Link]
But what I'm going to talk about today is the hardest mission I ever completed in a game the Legendary Mission, Protecting the Golden Flame Sect Complete Analysis!
Then without any further ado, let's begin!
[Video 1]Roaring Tsunami, Oncoming Seafolk
[Video 2]The Battle Of The Dam
[Video 3]The Appearance Of Deep Sea King, The Arrival Of True Terror
[Video 4]The Ultimate Come Back, The Asspull Of The Century
[Video 5]Roaring Thunder, Dying King
Summary: This is the best game I have ever played and probably will ever play!
The plot was full of ups and downs, with a real sense of stake(If we fail the mission, we will lose our account). There were several times in the mission that I thought that those dogshit developers made the Final BOSS so hard on purpose so that they could end the beta test early with the mission ending in our failure. The Final BOSS seems impossible to beat with an extremely high AI, no matter what strats we toss at it, the BOSS will easily see-through it and then overcome it, even seeing through Noodle Bro strat of hiding poison in his clothes.
But man was I wrong, the final outcome of the battle was decided by us the player, Noodle Bro asspull was so unexpected that even the extremely intelligent AI wasn't able to see through it! Although I don't know the outcome of the battle if Deep Sea King wasn't poisoned by Noodle Bro, one thing I know for sure what that this was something that even those dogshit developers couldn't have planned for!
Yet the game still continued on without a hitch even if the developers didn't plan for this and He Yi Ming took advantage of this opportunity and ended the Deep Sea King, this was something that's definitely not possible in a prescripted game!
I dare to say that Defying Heaven has brought upon us a new generation of gaming, a real-world where the final outcome is not determined by the developers but by us, the players!
As players, we can change the world!
To be able to play such a great game, I, World Number One Ice Mage can now die without any regret!"
P.S. That's after I finish the game.
....
In the comment, countless people were also discussing the game.
"Holy shit, is this the game real graphic? This isn't CGI?"
"F***, there is no CGI so realistic, alright!"
"Deep Sea King POG!"
"Praise our lord and savior Noodle Bro!"
"F*** me, 100% virtual, intelligent AI, amazing CGI, can game get any better?"
"I'm in complete awe!"
....
After reading the post.
He Yi Ming went silent.
Do you guys really have to give that much praise?
After all, in the beginning, He Yi Ming only view the players as free workers.
Who knew that the forums will go so viral with tens of millions of views in not even a single day!
At this moment, He Yi Ming couldn't help himself and opened Luffy's post.
Luffy also posted the entirety of the Seafolks Invasion.
It's just that Luffy's narration technique is kind of...umm, special/unique?
"The Rise Of The Golden Flame Sect, Chapter 1: The Seafolks Invasion!"
"My name is Luffy, the man who will become the King of Cultivation!"
"As an Inner Disciple of the Golden Flame Sect, I created armament haki and founded the Seven Warlords of the Sea, one day, I will stand on the peak of this cultivation world!"
"However, in the depths of the endless sea, the Seafolks were envious of my talent and launched an invasion to destroy me!"
"It was a cloudy day, the wind howl, and the thunder roar!
"The Seafolk army ride the waves and intent on devouring the entire Golden Flame Sect!"
"Nevertheless I stood tall!
"Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same!"
"All I needed to do was to overcome whatever destiny throw at me!"
"The battles went as such...."
[Video 1]
[Video 2]
[Video 3]
"In the end, I was able to overcome destiny and defeat the Seafolks!"
"But..."
"Is this the end?"
"Why is Master the only one in the Sect?"
"What is the meaning behind the name Golden Flame Sect?"
"Why was I transported to this world, and what sort of missions laid on my shoulder?"
"Will I rise to become a Heavenly Immortal? Or should I fall to become a Devilish Demon?
"All of that and more will be answered in the Rise Of The Golden Flame Sect Ch 2! To Be Continue..."
.....
Seeing Luffy's post, He Yi Ming was quite speechless.
Nothing less from a chunnibyou!
This post was written like a novel, with many foreshadowing and even a to be continue at the end!
As if this was some sort of masterpiece and was divided into many parts?
But what made He Yi Ming the most speechless was the comment section.
"My name is White Beard, I'm willing to join your fight!"
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I'm willing to join your fight!"
"My name is Kurosaki Ichigo, I'm willing to join your fight!"
"My name is Peppa Pig, I'm willing to join your fight!"
....
The comments varied but most of them were also written by chuunibyou people similar to Luffy.
He Yi Ming carefully scan and discovered many posts made by Luffy in the past.
[How I Created Armament Haki]
[How To Cast Armament Haki]
[Everything You Need To Know About Armament Haki]
....
Seeing the most popular of these posts, He Yi Ming clicked on it out of curiosity.
In the post, Luffy talks about his experience with armament haki and what he learned, there was also a video of him covering his arm in armament haki and punching a boulder into smithereens.
The comments were as chuunibyou as ever.
"Silvers Rayleigh: Nothing less from my disciple, I'm very pleased!"
"Red Hair: Luffy, I'll be waiting for you in the grandline, I hope we will be meeting soon!"
"Aizen Sosuke: Worthy of the title Pirate King!"
.....
After reading the comment, He Yi Ming's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"System, can you increase the traffic on the forum?"
"Yes!"
"Then increase it to the maximum!"
"Ding! The maximum traffic is now increased to 10 million
....
After increasing the traffic, He Yi Ming thought about it and decided to add new features in the future.
If the system is upgraded, and he can summon the second batch of players, then he will also add new features to the forum all in one go!
Right now, he still has many tasks at hand!
