After reading the update announcement, players immediately went to the official forum to discuss issues like "which faction to join", "whether or not to change profession", "which faction to switch to" etc.
This was a discussion about everyone's future, engaging hundreds of millions of players.
The visitor traffic on the official forum surged dramatically, with substantial sluggishness appearing, and some regional servers even crashed directly!
Fortunately, with Xue Wenli's help, the game operation company temporarily opened a few more servers, barely hanging on under such high load.
...
Players were in heated debates over these issues, each having their own opinions.
During the discussions, some players wanted to hear the views of Su Yu, the seer. So they started mentioning him.
Su Yu originally did not want to interfere with the players' choices on factions, professions, and races.
But he had been mentioned too many times, so he decided to step forward and speak.
