"Reversing Heaven: Demon Immortal" Official Forum
He Yiming hadn't paid much attention to the forum since recruiting 88 players for the initial test.
The forum's features were incredibly basic.
Other than the 88 beta testers who could log in directly using their IDs, no one else could even register an account. All visitors were anonymous.
No friend requests, no private messages, not even emojis or memes! The forum was as primitive as something from the last century.
At the time, He Yiming casually set the maximum number of simultaneous users to 1 million. Users exceeding this limit could still access the website but couldn't post or reply, and the browsing speed was throttled. Many old posts wouldn't even load.
Since there were hardly any users back then, He Yiming didn't give it much thought.
"???"
But when He Yiming logged in now, he was dumbfounded.
The official forum showed over a million active users, with the number climbing at a staggering rate.
The number of posts on the forum had already surpassed tens of thousands!
Early posts were mostly from the 88 beta players, focused on exchanging game strategies and tips.
However, as the beta testers spread the word about the game, more and more netizens logged into the forum. Excited by the testers' shared screenshots and experiences, they eagerly begged for beta access.
"Could some generous master share an account?"
"When's the second beta? I can't wait to play!"
"Offering big money for a virtual headset and an account!"
"Thoughts on 'Reversing Heaven: Demon Immortal'!"
"First Beta Report!"
"On the Art of Game Cuisine: By the Tongue Chef!"
Scanning the posts, He Yiming noticed that 90% were desperate pleas for an account.
There were also a few trending older posts, like Indomitable Bear Strong's teaching video on the War Camel Beast, with over a million views.
Another popular post by The Nation's Top Ice Mage included quick-start tips and Ice Arrow insights, amassing tens of thousands of clicks.
However, the top three trending posts weren't these.
Each of the top three posts had over three million views, with the numbers still skyrocketing. Replies had exceeded tens of thousands.
The authors of these posts?
Niu Roumian, The Nation's Top Ice Mage, and Wang Lufei!
Niu Roumian's post, sitting at the very top, was astonishingly simple.
Curious, He Yiming clicked on it.
"Greetings, I'm Niu Roumian. Just building a thread here to see how many people want to play this game?"
The post was utterly pointless, yet its reply count had exploded!
"Big Bro Niu, I want to play Demon Immortal!"
"Big Bro Niu, I want to play Demon Immortal x2!"
"Big Bro Niu, I want to play Demon Immortal x3!
The flood of similarly inane replies had surpassed 30,000!
And this was with the forum capped at 1 million users, leaving many people unable to reply.
The second most popular post was from The Nation's Top Ice Mage.
"Epic Quest: Defend Yanhuang Sect Full Coverage!"
"Hello everyone, I'm one of the 88 beta testers, ID: The Nation's Top Ice Mage.
For those unfamiliar with the game, check out my earlier beta report here:

Today, I'm sharing the most intense quest I've ever experienced: The Epic Quest, Defend Yanhuang Sect!
Let's skip the chatter. Here are the videos!
[Video 1] The Tsunami Strikes: The Sea Tribe Invades
[Video 2] Fierce Battle on the Dam
[Video 3] The Deep Sea King Dominates the Scene
[Video 4] Niu Roumian's Legendary Move: Poison in the Rear
[Video 5] He Yiming Summons Heavenly Thunder to Slay the Deep Sea King
Summary: This epic quest is hands down the best-designed mission I've ever played in any game. Its immersion, narrative, and sense of involvement are unmatched.
The most incredible part? Player Niu Roumian, as a single player, managed to alter the course of the mission and turn the tide. Such non-linear progression is unheard of in conventional gaming!
Based on my observations, the Deep Sea King operates with a highly intelligent AI, allowing it to counter Niu Roumian's poisoning strategy.
But!!!
Big Bro Niu proved unstoppable!
His rear-poisoning technique outsmarted the AI's second-layer defenses, leaving the Deep Sea King paralyzed and paving the way for He Yiming's thunderstrike kill.
Let me declare this here and now:
"'Reversing Heaven: Demon Immortal' is a fully immersive virtual game, delivering an unparalleled experience. It doesn't just outshine every current game; it'll remain unmatched for the next 50 years!
"To have played this game in my lifetime, as The Nation's Top Ice Mage, I can die without regrets!"
The post ended, followed by an explosion of heated discussions.
"Holy crap, is this actual gameplay footage? Not CGI?"
"Damn, even CGI couldn't achieve this level of realism!"
"The Deep Sea King is insane!"
"All hail Big Bro Niu!"
"100% virtual, smart AI, top-tier graphics—this game is unbeatable!"
"My mom asked why I'm kneeling while reading this post. I told her, 'He Yiming, please teach me to cultivate!'"
He Yiming fell silent after reading the post.
"You guys are hyping this up way too much."
After all, He Yiming's original intent was merely to trick some players into working for him.
Who could've predicted the forum would blow up like this? With over a million users online, it was essentially crashing!
And it had already been this chaotic for more than a day!
He Yiming couldn't help but glance at Wang Lufei's post.
Wang Lufei's post also documented the Sea Tribe invasion but had a… let's say… unique narrative style.
"The Rise of Yanhuang Sect, Part 1: The Sea Tribe Invades!"
"I am Wang Lufei, a man destined to become the King of Cultivation!
As an inner disciple of Yanhuang Sect, I, Wang Lufei, have developed Armament Haki and lead the Seven Warlords. My goal: to become the pinnacle of 'Reversing Heaven: Demon Immortal!'
Yet, from the depths of the endless eastern ocean, the Sea Tribe, envious of my talent, launched an all-out assault!
Torrential rain, lightning, and thunder!
The Sea Tribe's army marched on the waves, intent on conquering my great Yanhuang Sect!
But I, Wang Lufei, felt no fear!
We cultivators fear no battle!
From the infinite darkness, the ancient being's minions—the Sea Tribe—stood no chance against my soaring ambition!
The details of the battle are as follows…"
[Video 1]
[Video 2]
[Video 3]
"In the end, the Sea Tribe retreated under my relentless assault!
But…
Why did the Sea Tribe attack?
Why did He Yiming establish his sect alone?
What secrets lie behind the name 'Yanhuang Sect?'
Why was I, Wang Lufei, brought to this world, and what destiny-defying mission do I carry?
'Reversing Heaven: Demon Immortal'… Will I, Wang Lufei, turn to demonhood or ascend to immortality?
All will be revealed in 'The Rise of Yanhuang Sect, Part 2.' Stay tuned…"
Reading Wang Lufei's post, He Yiming was speechless.
"As expected of an edgy teen!"
The post was written like a novel, complete with cliffhangers and foreshadowing.
What was even more ridiculous were the replies:
"I, Whitebeard, will fight alongside Brother Lufei!"
"I, Uchiha Sasuke, will fight alongside Brother Lufei!"
"I, Silvers Rayleigh, will fight alongside Brother Lufei!"
"I, Mountain Bandit King, will fight alongside Brother Lufei!"
"I, Peppa Pig, will fight alongside Brother Lufei!"
The replies were all over the place, with many equally edgy and clearly kindred spirits of Wang Lufei.
As He Yiming scrolled further, he noticed that Wang Lufei had posted numerous other threads.
[Armament Haki Teaching Video]
[Armament Haki Field Tests]
[Everyone, I, Wang Lufei, Have Successfully Created Armament Haki]
Curious, He Yiming clicked on the most popular one.
The post detailed Wang Lufei's experience inventing Armament Haki in-game and included a video of him using it to shatter a giant boulder with a single punch.
The replies, unsurprisingly, were dripping with edgy humor.
"Silvers Rayleigh says: As expected of my disciple, I'm so proud!"
"Red-Haired Shanks says: Lufei, I'll meet you on the Grand Line. Don't be late!"
"Aizen says: Impressive, very One Piece-like. By the way, I have an 82-year-old Zanpakuto on sale for just 99 yuan, shipping included! With it, Lufei, you'll become the King of Hokage!"
"Pfft!" He Yiming nearly burst out laughing.
"Cough, cough, cough…" He Yiming realized he had been reading for over an hour.
"System, can the forum's user cap be upgraded?"
"Affirmative!"
"Then upgrade it to the max!"
"Ding! The forum's maximum user limit has been raised to 10 million!"
After upgrading the user cap, He Yiming decided to hold off on enhancing other features for now.
When the system allowed him to summon the second batch of players, he would overhaul the forum functionalities in one go!
For now, there were still countless things awaiting his attention.
