6.5 Billion People Watched Me Slay My Lord and Prove the Way

(Announcement: After finishing "Being Pretty Really Lets You Get Away with Anything," I'll update this novel daily. Until then, this one will be updated irregularly. I won't abandon it. I love He Wu very much.)

[Year 3485, the sub-branch of a sub-branch of a sub-branch of the Descent Livestream, Rank 162. Player name: He You. Popularity: 1,522. Descent world: The Nine Realms. Years descended: 15/200.]

Back then, I had just started streaming and was at a loss when faced with the [hi] in front of me.

Back then, I hadn't restored my original appearance, and my face could only be called pretty ordinary.

Back then, a sword swept past my cheek, leaving a streak of blood. The blue-robed youth holding the sword opposite me was the person this body's previous owner had secretly loved. He looked down at me from on high, his expression cold and his voice indifferent. "He You, admit defeat."

Back then, the so-called livestream audience had no idea that I had replaced the original player's soul, much less that my true form was a sword that had been possessed by another soul.

Back then, everyone was watching me make a fool of myself.

Live comments:

[That guy in blue on the other side is pretty handsome.]

[Is this a newbie with no experience?]

[How boring.]

[Fifteen years, and he's only at the first level of Qi Refining?]

Several years later.

[Year 3490, the homepage of the Descent livestream. Rank 1. Player name: He Wu (formerly He You). Popularity: 6.5 billion. Descent world: The Nine Realms. Years descended: 199/200.]

Now, everyone in the livestream was going wild, but I was calm.

The snow on the icy plains of the Ninth Heaven was bitterly cold and fierce.

I stood atop the towering altar, looking at the two people below.

They were my former masters. I had torn out one man's heart and stripped the other's bones.

I walked up to one of them and asked, "I remember you saying I was stubborn and dull, and would never compare to a living being. Is that right?"

His eyes were dim. When he looked at me, they brimmed with a mad love, as well as regret, even though I had destroyed his divine palace and severed his meridians.

He spoke each word slowly, his voice hoarse. "I deserve this."

I found it boring, so I walked over to the other man.

I asked him lightly, "How did it feel when you stole my fortune back then?"

Even though I had reclaimed everything he'd taken from me, and he had lost all his cultivation and suffered injuries that would never heal, he still didn't dare meet my eyes.

He lowered his gaze. His tears fell like blood, and his voice was feeble to the extreme.

"A You, I regret it..."

I corrected him. "My name is He Wu."

My first master gave me a perfect sword body. My second master gave me a wealth of wisdom.

But unfortunately, they both treated me as a tool and tried to kill me.

Now, I used what my second master had taught me to make my first master regret everything.

And I used the talent my first master had given me to shatter my second master's dreams.

The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone in the livestream was burning with excitement.

The viewers were obsessed with my face, stunned by my methods, impressed by my skills, and full of praise for my personality.

They said I was innocent yet cruel, that my talent was divine, and that if I wanted, I could make anyone in the Nine Realms fall in love with me and follow me through fire and sword.

They looked forward to my return to the game lobby, and to the day I would reveal my true face to them.

Live comments:

[Kill everyone in the world who has ever wronged me!]

[Now that's the true pride of heaven. No, the darling of heaven!]

[Who single-handedly took the cultivation world from an eighteenth-rate world to the most popular world? My A Wu, of course!]

I smiled at the sky, and every comment in the livestream fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, someone in the livestream spoke with a shiver:

[No, she's neither the pride of heaven nor the darling of heaven.]

[She is the Heavenly Dao.]

P.S. Only the blurb is written in first person.

Theme: Growing continually along the long road of cultivation, and seeking the true meaning of survival.
