Chapter 360: Revised - 332 Constellations
Gravity changed quietly, and when Li Cheng reopened his eyes, he was already standing in a fairly spacious ancient Chinese study room.
The study room was tastefully furnished, with ancient landscape paintings hanging on the walls, and writing materials placed on the desk. Bookshelves housed scrolls and classics that faintly emitted the scent of ink, window lattices were carved, and the curtains lightly hung down. The sound of waterfalls outside the window could be clearly heard.
There were eight people standing in the study room. Li Cheng, along with Yuan Zhixia, who received the same task, and two others were dressed in black, while the remaining four were dressed in white.
Everyone looked at each other cautiously, waiting for the system briefing.
[Three thousand years ago, a devastating war between gods and demons destroyed Buzhou Mountain, causing the separation of heaven and earth. The gods and humans became isolated from each other. Cultivators could no longer ascend to the Immortal Realm, and their lifespan sharply decreased to two hundred years]
[Seeing no hope of ascension, cultivators began to govern the war-torn Human World, forming a so-called Immortal Court by themselves, creating laws to manage and regulate disputes among monks, and imposing sanctions when necessary]
[Xiao Shui Sect, from a mere declining sect, has, in less than one hundred and fifty years, under the leadership of Sect Leader Xiao Shui Xingjun and his wife Miao Yin, soared to become the third largest major sect in the Human World. The couple, working together harmoniously, are seen by the world as a pair of celestial lovers]
[However, from young love to mutual resentment, their marriage has become unsustainable due to various reasons, and they eventually tore up the pretense and went to the Immortal Court for divorce arbitration. Thus began this century divorce case that shocked the Human World]
[In this mission, the eight players will be divided into two groups, acting as lawyers, representing Xiao Shui Xingjun and Miao Yin respectively, to conduct court debates, collect evidence, and refute the other side, striving to win as much benefit for their own client as possible]
The briefing ended, and the task details followed.
[Task objective of the second stage: Win the divorce case for the client Xiao Shui Xingjun]
