Chapter 169 The Soaring Popularity of Lis
The sudden change in the Lower City District of Bright City naturally didn't escape the players' attention.
Even when the Divine Incarnation of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts descended, many players fearlessly rushed towards Mingzhu Street.
Unfortunately, by that time, the Golden Lion Knights and the Royal Mage Corps had already sealed off Mingzhu Street, strictly forbidding anyone to enter.
At that crucial moment, a number of players tried to force their way in, even clashing with the soldiers of the Kingdom, but what if members of the All Beast Church had slipped in?
Under Bevis's orders, those trouble-making players were all captured by the Golden Lion Knights, and even the ringleaders were killed on the spot.
However, there were players who had followed Lis into the area ahead of time, and that included the group of Mo Yun, Zhao Zhao, Hu Yingjun, and Huo Yanyi.
They hid to one side and were lucky enough not to be discovered by the first wave of magic beasts, but their luck ended there.
When the Divine Incarnation of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts arrived, they had no chance of resistance and instantly blacked out, falling dead on the spot.
Respawning at the pre-set resurrection points, Mo Yun blinked her eyes, somewhat unable to grasp the situation.
How come as soon as I saw that black figure, I was directly declared dead?
Not worrying about the experience loss from resurrection, Mo Yun quickly checked her system messages.

[Assessment (1/?): Divine Spiritual Shock... Assessment failure]
[You have failed the divinity consciousness assessment of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts!]
[You are dead!]
-----------------
What the hell??
Mo Yun looked at the information on the system panel in surprise.
So, that big black, hideous thing is a god?
This is...
I just explode from one extra glance?
That's outrageous!
Mo Yun's mind was a bit chaotic; she didn't really feel anything, just a sense of unreality.
A deity or something... shouldn't that be a big BOSS that appears late in the game? How come I encountered one just a few days after the server opened.
Shaking her head, Mo Yun continued to look through the system messages below.

-----------------
What's this?
That deity fell just like that?
Mo Yun checked the time, and for some reason, this time the Resurrection Flower took longer.
Several hours have already passed!
The deity only lasted that short amount of time after its arrival, truly lacking presence!
However, the rewards are still quite sweet!!
Mo Yun and Zhao Zhao touched base with each other and found they were all equally clueless about what had happened. With no other choice, Mo Yun decided to check the players' forum to see what was going on.
...
In the thread titled "Breaking: A Divine Incarnation Descends in the Lower City District of Bright City!", quite a number of players were discussing the event since it was, after all, the first major event in "Divine Revelation" since the game launched!
Game Life: Holy crap, the Silver Level quest I took from Lis just auto-completed, saying that the 'Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' incarnation died. What on earth happened? My completion rate was just a pitiful five percent.
White-robed Scholar: Help! I was arrested by the Bright City Guard and thrown into jail. How do I get out?
Tumble Garden Assaulter Hu Yingjun: I was on Mingzhu Street just before, and a horde of Magic Beasts came and bit me to death instantly. I had no way to fight back.
Pump Master: From what I heard from an NPC in the Kingdom, it was a Divine Incarnation called 'Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' that descended on Mingzhu Street in the Lower City District. However, it was quickly dealt with by the Kingdom and the Dawn Church. (PS. Isn't this god kinda weak?)
...
After browsing through, most of it was just uninformative discussion and speculation. After thinking it over and communicating with Zhao Zhao and the others, Mo Yun finished editing the entire recording of her experience and uploaded it to the players' forum.
-----------------
"The Full Account of Lord Lis Kain and the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' Divine Descent!"
Mo Yun first attached the full video of the process, then shared her thoughts:
Based on the broadcaster's experiences in the past two days and the clues from the Silver Level quest, the sequence of events for this major incident should be:
The All Beast Church schemed to descend the Divine Incarnation of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts in the Lower City District → Lis Kain noticed something was amiss → Issued quests to players while investigating on his own → Reported findings to the Kingdom → The Kingdom arranged manpower with Lis to deal with the All Beast Church → The All Beast Church forcibly descended the Lord of Ten Thousand Beast's incarnation → The incarnation was destroyed.
Since that Divine Incarnation died the moment we laid eyes on it, I'm not sure what happened afterward.
However, I do think that Lis Kain must have played a very important role!
Not to mention, anyone that good-looking has to be the main character!
-----------------
Mo Yun's post soared in popularity as soon as it was published, especially since the latter part allowed viewers to see what the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' incarnation looked like.
"What an ugly god!"
"I want to see the later content!"
"Where's the official statement? With such a high engagement, they should release something soon!"
"Damn, I'm so jealous of that rich quest reward. I'm going to Bright City to find Lis."
"Sticker, I want to stick close to that handsome guy!"
...
The video's live comments kept flowing, and Mo Yun's follower count was rising steadily. She was pleasantly surprised to find her fans had surpassed a hundred thousand.
Lord Lis, you are my god!
Mo Yun was resolute in her idea to stick to someone influential. She planned to continue camping out at the White Dove Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to see if she could run into Lis.
Just then, someone finally discovered the secret realm "Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' Expedition" that Lis had placed on the White Dove Chamber of Commerce interface. After attempting to enter, they posted the information on the forum.
All players who had joined the White Dove Guild hurried to use their free opportunity to try out the "Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' Expedition" secret realm.
More and more videos about the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts appeared on the players' forum.
"Wow, looking at this, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts is really powerful!"
"I didn't even see it coming; died too quickly."
"If you put it that way, aren't those three Human Strongmen who appeared even more impressive?"
"That flying one should be Bright City's Legendary Mage Fran Stephens, right? That Priest is from the Dawn Church, but who does that bald guy belong to?"
"Hm? Could that Legendary Mage possibly be Lis's teacher?"
"So Legendary Strongmen are that awesome, I'm in love."
"Damn, the main storyline is also linked to Lis; he really is the main character, isn't he!"
Of course, since only a small portion of players were born in Bright City, the rest were a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Why hasn't the White Dove Guild opened a branch in our area yet!
Players in Bright City, almost in their entirety, rushed to the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, demanding to join the Guild.
In this process, Lis's name became known to more and more players.
As the first game NPC familiar to players, Lis's popularity soared due to various factors.
"So, this NPC called Lis seems to be key."
The president of Hua Xia's four top gaming clubs, "Kunlun," watched the video Mo Yun had posted on the players' forum and said to Han Xing, the captain of the Kunlun professional gaming team,
"We need to contact this broadcaster called Mo Yun to see if we can get more information."
Han Xing nodded and replied, since their home base was in Bright City, they needed to make the most of this advantage.
