The sweet mechanical female voice rang throughout the whole Wu Mang Continent. To the ears of the NPC, its like an oracle.

Rong Yue sat on the throne in the temple, holding a book of Marxist Philosophy sent to him by a player, his eyes sweeping the words in the book but unable to read it.

The silver haired Pope sighed, and the mechanical female voice continued on like a pendulum of despair, devouring the only hope left in the Wu Mang Continent.

"Lord Rong Yue!" A nun stumbled into the temple and cried, "My lord, the Lord of the Snow made a world announcement, asking you to see his private message..."

　　

Rong Yue nodded calmly.

At the end of his life, he should at least see what his debauched friend said...

"F*ck you Rong Yue! Are you the not carrying Marx's eight honors and eight shames? I was the one that told you to hang that slogan outside and brainwash your followers right? Brother, I organize an examination in the whole Snow field to test the core value of socialism!"

Rong Yue: "..."

He replied wearily: "Is this my party's problem? Have you look at the clothes you wear? It's bare-chested, if you aren't banned, who will be?"

《Xingyue Era》is a popular large-scale holographic online game throughout the country, operating for almost ten years, with many players that can circle the earth twice.

The Lord of the Snow, Zhu Xing, and the Pope Rong Yue, are two of the game's most popular and powerful leaders.

During the peak of their popularity, their respective fan club can occupy 90% of the market.

Because they were loved and gained a lot of faith, together with some NPC, they gradually acquired real spiritual wisdom.

Unfortunately, this year, the gaming world has seen one of the greatest and most rigorous review.

This game, Xingyue Era, because dissemination of bad ideas, harming minors, exposed clothing. etc. was informed to shut down to be rectified.

Despite their numerous efforts, it still seems futile.

In the distance, dark lines appeared on the horizon. The unknown lines little by little, encroached the sky, with the mechanical female voice without any emotion that continued announced the annihilation of the virtual world.

A private message prompt sounded in his ears, opened it, and it was still from his old friend Zhu Xing.

"Yue yue ah... say, are we going to have an interesting trip? Well, our hard work this past hundred of years, saying that it with all cease to exist, ah its really boring."

Rong Yue was silent for a moment: "In any case, nothing is truly clear."

Zhu XIng: "Eh? What do you mean? How I conquered the whole snow field, I remembered it clearly!"

The dark lines have reached the temple, and the prayers of the believers outside have disappeared.

Rong Yue looked at the black whole outside of the stained glass and muttered: "If there is really an afterlife... I wish I could really live once."

Within the silence, the Wu Mang Continent was annihilated.

After an unknown amount of time, Rong Yue suddenly felt his heart jump. After a repeated efforts, he finally mange to open his eyes a bit.

At the center of his blurred sight is a strong male back.

The muscle lines are smooth, with a wide shoulder and a long braid around the back of the neck.

A burst of pain suddenly blossomed in Rong Yue's temple, as if a stream of data was rapidly downloaded in his brain

He... he's really alive?

After a brief confusion, he manage to sort out all the information. Rong Yue was surprise that he is not in the 'real world' that the players mentioned.

This is a primitive continent.

And he himself is no longer the idol in the Wu Mang Continent -  the Pope. He became a member of the Gangshan Tribe, the youngest son the the tribe leader adapted half-heartedly.

And was yesterday... married to the former number one warrior of the tribe.

Recalling that information. Rong Yue was silent...

Does that mean that all those books where two people of the same gender were together that was shown to him by the players are all true and two men can really get married?!

The owner of the this body was also called 'Yue', a small sacrifice awakened by the power of 'listening to the heaven'.

In this primitive continent, sacrifice is not only an identity but also a new gender. Those who have awakened the power of a sacrifice have to ability to communicate with the heaven and earth. Specifically, the manifestation of it, most of which are spiritual, like a hunch before the arrival of a disaster.

Gaining this ability comes at a price.

Awakening as a sacrifice represents the lose of fertility. In this primitive place, a sacrifice either serves he tribe, marries a man, or both.

Yue is a very beautiful little sacrifice. Many years ago, he was an exile, before he found the Gangshan Tribe and was adopted by the tribe leader.

Although his ability is weak,  cannot do anything decent, and very timid, his appearance is very outstanding that he have a few warrior admirers in the tribe.

In this regard, the little daughter of the tribe leader is very jealous. Comparing everything with him. doing everything to press his head down.

Growing up, the little girl has long thought about Tianyang, the tribe's number one warrior.

Tianyang is the former tribe leader's son, born with a divine and cheerful personality. His relationship with the tribe is very good.

The little daughter wants at him, and entangle him many times before finally chasing the other's hand in marriage.

The leader, though was a little unhappy in his heart, he was also afraid of Tianyang's strength, allowed the two of them to tie the knot, and was planning to send the beautiful Yue to the neighboring Sentei Tribe in exchange for the union of the two forces.

Who would have thought that Tianyang would be bitten by a strange monster and be poisoned during their hunts.

From then on, the title of the number one warrior have a former prefix.

The little daughter saw the Tianyang was abandoned, and instantly turned her face, said nothing and refused to marry him.

What a joke, she's the daughter of the chief, both beautiful and clever, how can she marry a waste?! Isn't that going to starve her to death?!

Tianyang dragged his sick body, and stood outside of the chief's house all night, but still failed to save his supposed wife's heart.

The next day, when the sky in the distance turned red, he turned to the mist, back to his stone house and never mentioned marrying a wife again.

He decided to give up.

The little daughter was not happy, and it just happened that the Sentei Tribe is about to send a warrior to marry Yue. Turning her eyes, her heart thought of a plan.

The warriors of the Sentei tribe is no worse than their Gangshan Tribe. Why give Yue who who is weak and useless?! This marriage should be hers!

So Yue, who has been hiding in a month in the house, suddenly learned that his husband will be changed.

And that person is the waste Tianyang.

Who will collect his body?

Even the feeble knows that marrying Tianyang means not having enough clothes to stay warm, surviving every winter will be difficult, not to mention a small sacrifice will give his whole lifetime to his husband. Under the pressure of survival, he went against the orders of the chief for the first time. He knelt outside for a whole day and night, begging the chief not to let him marry the waste Tianyang.

But the cold-blooded leader ignored his humble prayers, and even after he fainted, he ordered the warriors to lift him and send him to the stone house of Tianyang.

The small sacrifice 'Yue' was seriously ill, coupled with a unsettled heart, destroyed his soul. At that moment, 'Yue' the Pope, took over the body.

Rong Yue was stunned, and his first reaction was to pull up the game menu.

This absurd plot, could it be another virtual world?

The menu was easily called out, making him a little disappointed. It seems that this world is a set. Presumably, he will once again become an involuntary NPC to make a contribution to the occupation called sacrifice...

Wait, why is menu greyed?

... his occupation is still a priest?

This is simply the UI he's familiar with, the 'Xingyue Era' UI!

So, it's really no longer a game!

Rong Yue's heart that was just like a stagnant water for years, gradually jumped.

He was once one of the strongest men in the Wu Mang Continent, with the ability of divided mountains and sea, and once lead an army of holy chariots. His menu is still there, which means that his skills are...

Rong Yue glanced at the top right corner of the menu and suddenly saw the level grid.

... It says LV. 1.

... Level 1.

... Level 1?!

Its unknown whether the impact of the sinister 1 before his eyes  is too much, but Rong Yue fainted again.

While asleep, he did not notice that the long hair of this body which did not belong to him, was little by little dye in silver from the tips.
