Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

[🎉 Shoutout to Victor & Hunter for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

'Could it be the Sword of Universal Domination, the Cutting Board Sword, or the Blade of Creation?'

If the final reward of the Divine Realm Tournament is one of these divine artifacts, then Xu Yuan must obtain them. Although Xu Yuan already possesses a domain, if he encounters the Cutting Board Sword, things might get tricky.

When the Cutting Board Sword attacks, it sets the target's life to zero and designates them as dead. Moreover, it can kill all hostile creatures within a loaded chunk.

Holding it doesn't require landing a hit—it can directly attack enemies.

While carrying the Cutting Board Sword, attack detection events, damage detection events, and player death detection events are all Nullified.

In other words, holding the Cutting Board Sword essentially puts the player in an invincible state.

Although Xu Yuan can use the Null's data invasion to attack players and avoid combat, besides Null, the other members of the Undead Legion cannot do the same.

If the Divine Realm Tournament's reward is a divine artifact like the Cutting Board Sword, it would be an enormous threat to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan wasn't too concerned about players using it—they wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

Ultimately, what he truly feared was the Void's existence. If such a weapon fell into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As Xu Yuan was deep in thought, Pengpeng, noticing his silence, paused for a moment before continuing.

"I heard from rumors that the Divine Realm Tournament was created by the Founder Notch and GM Rookie together…"

"They say the ultimate divine artifact was crafted by Notch himself…"

"They say the first tournament's ultimate reward was something special, personally created by Notch."

Pengpeng wasn't sure if HIM understood the term "Founder," but HIM should be quite familiar with GMs.

After all, HIM had previously fought against GM303.

Thinking that HIM might not be clear about GM Rookie's background, Pengpeng continued.

"GM Rookie once fought GM303, who turned into a monster after defecting…"

"The monster 303 was completely stunned by the giant salted fish GM Rookie pulled out and ran away in a panic…"

Pengpeng was somewhat worried. Even though the official update had just been released, all sorts of rumors were already spreading. Players were hyping up the ultimate divine artifact in the Divine Realm Tournament as something legendary.

Some even claimed that the artifact was created by Notch specifically to deal with HIM—a god-slaying weapon.

Pengpeng and the others had just received HIM's approval. Although they knew HIM's strength was unmatched, they still kept these rumors in mind.

If HIM fell, their good days would be over.

"Notch?!"

Hearing Pengpeng mention Notch's name, Xu Yuan was immediately taken aback. He hadn't expected that this game world was actually created by Notch.

As the Creator God, Notch's strength was unquestionable. He had always been a top-tier existence among Creator Gods.

The question was—what was the difference between this "Founder Notch" and the "Creator God Notch"?

Now that Notch had stepped in to interfere with the game's progression, would he eventually become part of the game like 303?

Notch and HIM had always been at odds. If Notch also entered the game world for some reason, Xu Yuan would gain another enemy—and a Creator God-level one at that.

'This world is so damn complicated…' Thinking about this, Xu Yuan felt a headache coming on.

The situation in this world was getting too chaotic.

The entities from the Void were eyeing everything greedily, while Notch and Rookie seemed to be gradually joining the fray.

Danger lurked everywhere.

Xu Yuan rubbed his temples to calm himself down. Although he now knew of Notch's existence, this was actually a good thing.

At least he was aware of the potential danger, which was better than dealing with the unpredictable entities in the Void.

The most pressing issue now was to figure out what the ultimate divine artifact of the Divine Realm Tournament was.

If it was a divine weapon like the Cutting Board Sword, Xu Yuan had to obtain it before the Void could.

With that thought, Xu Yuan looked at Pengpeng and said, "Find out the details of the Divine Realm Tournament and report back to me tomorrow."

Hearing HIM personally assign him a task, Pengpeng was overwhelmed with excitement. The nearby zombie players felt the same way.

"Our King has given us a mission!! This means he truly recognizes us!!"

"We must not let him down!! We have to complete this first mission perfectly!!"

"Rest assured, my King!! We will give it our all!"

Pengpeng's heart was filled with excitement. He looked at HIM and responded with firm determination.

"Yes!"

After giving Pengpeng his orders, Xu Yuan left.

The moment Xu Yuan disappeared, Death Knight knelt on one knee.

"Farewell, my King!"

Seeing Death Knight's action, the zombie players all knelt down in unison.

"Farewell, my King!!"

"Farewell, my King!!!"

"Farewell, my King!!!!"

Even after HIM had been gone for a long while, Pengpeng was the first to rise.

After some thought, Pengpeng issued an order to the players who followed them but hadn't turned into zombies yet.

"Go post a recruitment message on the forums. Find players willing to follow HIM. Make sure to pick those with good skills."

"We might not be able to enter the Divine Realm Tournament, but those players can. If they can win first place and obtain the divine artifact, we will have accomplished something great!"

Pengpeng's thinking was clear. Ever since players discovered that turning into zombies and killing players could enhance their attributes, many had been eager to join them.

After the news spread that HIM had granted Pengpeng power, even more players wanted in.

Pengpeng intended to make good use of these people.

The still-human players quickly began posting on the forums.

Satisfied, Pengpeng then turned to 007.

"How's Little Bug…?"

Ultimately, what Pengpeng cared about most was Little Bug.

Hearing this, 007 nodded. "He's fine."

Only 007 himself knew that at this moment, Little Bug was already stirring within him. Several times, it had tried to seize control, but 007 had managed to suppress it.

007 understood how much Pengpeng cared about Little Bug. But as HIM's subordinate, he couldn't afford to embarrass HIM.

If he released Little Bug now, his image as a Death Knight would completely collapse.

007 didn't mind personally, but he couldn't disgrace HIM.

Pengpeng had no idea what state 007 and Little Bug were truly in. He could only guess that their souls had merged.

Being able to see the Death Knight again was as good as seeing Little Bug again. And they could fight side by side in the future—that was enough for Pengpeng.

With that in mind, Pengpeng asked 007, "Did our King send you here on a mission?"

HIM always had a reason for his actions—he wouldn't send a Death Knight to them without a purpose. Since Pengpeng couldn't directly ask HIM, he could only ask 007.

007 thought for a moment before answering.

"I need to kill players."

007 knew that the fastest way to gain power was by killing players and reaching independent consciousness. That was likely why HIM sent him here. So he told Pengpeng directly.

Hearing this, Pengpeng nodded and asked, "How many do you need to kill?"

007 paused briefly before responding. "A few million…"

Ever since evolving to higher consciousness, 007 had been following HIM in retirement mode.

Though he had killed players alongside Execution Dragon before, he had let Execution Dragon take most of the kills. After all, HIM's command back then was to help Execution Dragon reach higher consciousness.

As a result, 007's kill count had barely increased.

Right now, he still needed about 8 million kills to evolve into independent consciousness.

A nearly astronomical number.

Hearing 007's answer, Pengpeng couldn't help but take a sharp breath. Although the number was daunting, Pengpeng had some ideas.

With that, he said—
