Why did the deities speak Mandarin?
Ren Suo recalled that the Lord of Billion Brilliance, the Monarch of Wind, Rain, and Snow, and the Eternal Burning Heart had indeed been speaking Mandarin in the videos!
However, since he had heard Mandarin while playing games before, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
Only when the researchers on these forums pointed it out did he realize how absurd the situation was.
Moreover, these deities didn't look like native Taoist deities, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, or the Three Immortals of the Mysterious Country; their names rather resembled those from Western divine systems or the unfathomable Cthulhu mythos.
Upon opening this post, Ren Suo found that the discussants were quite serious, sans the usual forum banter with 'first post,' 'front row,' 'those who seek reality in a fantasy world must have issues.' Instead, they proposed various hypotheses.
