Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Ascension List, Day Two.

Meng Yu continued to cause destruction, but the Myriad Gold Pavilion observed something peculiar—there were cultivators actively aiding Meng Yu!

They weren't too concerned about this matter, as loose cultivators eager to join a major power were plenty. Meng Yu, being a sect leader and the distributor of Secret Manuals in Blood God Town, naturally gained the allegiance of a group to assist him.

On this day, the Little White Rabbit News featured ten major works in a single update, with no serialization.

These were edited by the literary elites and emotion experts of the Blood God Sect using universally famous epics that had circulated for tens of thousands of years, now infused with a fast pace, vulgar content, and emotional stingers designed to profoundly distress the hard-luck readers of this era.

First off, the antagonists were all members of the Myriad Gold Pavilion.

Then came the content.

A young prodigy, full of vitality in the Cultivation World, faces setbacks again and again, entrapped by the Myriad Gold Pavilion, unable to be with his love, a series of unattainable tragedies ultimately resulting in a wasted life.

Or a talented young woman, proud and beautiful, who gets toyed with repeatedly by the Myriad Gold Pavilion, leading to her downfall, and so on...

Or an uncle, tearing up as he recalls his past, only to realize that the Myriad Gold Pavilion he had served all his life was a den of evil...

These narratives, which could choke hearts and incite rage and tears in another universe, began brilliantly. Midway they mixed green and yellow themes, ending in such a way that the reader would intensely despise the villainous Myriad Gold Pavilion, wanting nothing more than to annihilate them.

They skillfully integrated the history of the Cultivation World, leading to an epiphany—no wonder those events happened, it was all the Myriad Gold Pavilion's fault.

The downloads were good, many people were reading.

Day Three.

The Myriad Gold Pavilion, of course, downloaded the articles, but they sneered at such things.

Classics, cultural propaganda, right?

Sorry, but beneath the Cultivation World there are many Minor Worlds, with plenty of geniuses, including the Sage of Literature, capable of writing flourishing articles. They themselves had used similar strategies—to move people with emotions. Was Meng Yu running out of tricks?

However, in all fairness, the articles were indeed well written, compelling reads that were especially poignant for Myriad Gold Pavilion members who found themselves cast as the main villains.

On this very day, the Myriad Gold Pavilion strongly condemned Bai Hu, stating that standing with Meng Yu was outrageous. They didn't know that Bai Hu was the uploader behind Little White Rabbit News but were astonished to find Bai Hu still aiding Meng Yu in Blood God Town.

"You, a Fox Spirit, living in the Central Plains, your clan wandering everywhere, what gave you the audacity to meddle in our dispute with the Blood God Sect? Are you not afraid of annihilation?

We give you seven days. If you're still conspiring with Meng Yu, don't blame us for being ruthless."

They gave seven days because Bai Hu was a Nascent Soul, and the Fox Clan, despite everything, still had many other races to consider, affecting a broader range of issues.

The Little White Rabbit News continued to disseminate information to all parties, with foxes chatting with those who had been wronged. Aside from sending out articles pre-written and refined to these victims, they also followed the previously agreed talking points.

They did not encourage the victims to kill members of the Myriad Gold Pavilion or help Meng Yu, and they frankly admitted they were Meng Yu's subordinates. They had ulterior motives in spreading these messages, aiming to stir up strife with the Myriad Gold Pavilion. The information might not be accurate, pieced together from historical archives. If it caused hurt, they apologized; if incorrect, they were even more sorry.

The Fox Clan was somewhat baffled by Meng Yu's seemingly humble approach, but still found the tactic effective. Some of the furious complainants cooled down, sometimes all it took was an acknowledgment of the problem.

"So, how can we retaliate?"

More victims asked.

"Just by not spending at the Myriad Gold Pavilion, that will do. This is our grudge against the Myriad Gold Pavilion.

Our conversations will remain private, to be destroyed after this matter is concluded. You need not worry, and if anyone asks why you're not shopping at the Myriad Gold Pavilion, just say those ten books made you uncomfortable, and you've lost the urge to spend—does that sound okay to you, darling?"

"Not spending money is retaliation?"

This proposition made the victims feel like they were using a cannon to swat a mosquito, but the good thing was, it was something everyone could do.

"Also, could you please inform your friends and family to subscribe to the Little White Rabbit channel, thank you, thank you!"

The more followers, the more participants, and then... if you don't buy, I don't buy, the commercial empire starts to stink. What interesting developments might unfold next?

The full name of the Myriad Gold Pavilion includes the word 'gold,' a cross-border major commercial empire certainly involved in finance.

Surely, this shopping mall wouldn't offend its customers and also send a mass text, informing everyone that everything in the 'gold' of the Myriad Gold Pavilion was secure, with abundant funds and plenty of Spirit Stones, urging everyone not to start a bank run, right?

There couldn't possibly be anyone that foolish in the world, could there?

Day Three.

Central Plains, Yongzhou.

Branch stores of the Myriad Gold Pavilion occupied the most prosperous central areas of the city, where even the most humble store clerks exuded a self-important pride, and as for the shop owners and relevant people, they considered themselves above everyone else.

With the activation of the Ascension List, these were busy days for the Myriad Gold Pavilion, all primed for a huge profit, as money from the virtual world was too easy to earn.
