All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 179 Zhou Wudao: My head hurts so much, it feels like it's going to split open!
The sudden notification resounded throughout the entire planet, and everyone, no matter what they were doing, heard it.

The explosive information contained therein left everyone who heard it stunned on the spot. Even some men and women who were playing the game suddenly stopped what they were doing at the crucial moment.

"A new overlord has emerged in the East District?"

The birth of a hegemon is no small matter. Blue Star is similar to Earth in Chu Xiu's previous life in terms of population and size, but it only has four regions, and the Eastern Region is recognized as the largest region.

The emergence of a hegemon here is even more sensational than the change of president in the United States.

Not to mention, a hegemon represents not only status, but also power.

"Wait, the new overlord is Chu Xiu, the level 5 player who just made it onto the Heavenly Ranking?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Holy crap, I just grabbed a huge blade of grass!"

"This is outrageous! Wasn't it said that the Overlord Boss was at least a seventh-tier perfected level, and that it was invincible unless you were at least an eighth-tier level? So many seventh-tier players in the East District have tried, and none of them have been able to defeat it!"

"It's a two-person team. Could it be that the two of them combined are really comparable to Zhou Wudao?"

The news of Chu Xiu becoming the overlord shocked the world. It even made Treyne, who had been paying close attention to him, completely lose his depression and shake his head, saying, "That's not someone I should be facing at all!"

Hui Shu finally understood why she couldn't hook up with Chu Xiu.

He's the overlord of the district, what kind of woman can't he have?
The reason for choosing Zhou Wushang was definitely because her talent would be helpful to Chu Xiu. As for herself, although the technique of refining the fake into the real was useful, it could not help Chu Xiu improve his strength.

"This is the man I can't have, but the more unattainable he is, the more I want him!"

And Achiev was carried out once again.

The value of this article continues to rise, with some even starting to exaggerate: "When Chu Xiu was fighting Archief, Zhou Wushang was right next to him, wasn't he? Archief wasn't fighting Chu Xiu, but a hegemon!"

"He fought against the overlord and survived. I would call him the strongest!"

"Achev is the best in the world!"

While everyone on Blue Star was still in shock, Chu Xiu received several notifications, all concerning the powers of a hegemon: [You will possess everything in the Eastern District, and can set tax rules, but to maintain the hegemon's authority, the minimum tax rate cannot be lower than fifty percent of the taxes collected by each prefecture!]

In addition to regular sieges and sieges of prefectures, you have extra privileges for granting immunity to city lords and prefecture lords!

Attacking any of your appointed direct-line city lords or prefecture lords will directly redirect you to the Eastern District Overlord's Palace instance, where the difficulty is equivalent to vying for the Eastern District Overlord position!

You will be able to lead your subordinates into the 'Star Lord's Temple' instance!

He has three main powers. The first is the power to collect taxes. If Chu Xiu wanted, he could make all the lords of the various prefectures hand over 100% of their profits, and they would not be able to refuse.

Secondly, there is the authority to appoint city lords and prefecture lords.

No need to siege the city, just designate it directly.

It's the kind of instance that doesn't allow for contesting; anyone who tries to attack it will face the ultimate challenge.

The third is the permission to enter the world dungeon "Star Lord Temple". The Star Lord boss inside is also the world boss of Blue Star. After defeating him, you can become the "Lord of the World".

Command four major regions!

"So, only after becoming a hegemon are you qualified to compete for the title of world ruler?" Chu Xiu looked at Zhou Wushang and asked, "Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Zhou Wushang nodded upon hearing this.

Since it's free, there's no harm in going to take a look.

But less than a second later, they returned cursing and shouting, "They're sick! They only allow overlords to enter, what's with all the ranking requirements?"

It turns out that to unlock the "Star Lord Temple" dungeon, you not only need to become a hegemon, but also need to reach the eighth rank.

Chu Xiu is only at the fifth level, he can't enter!
"My good mood is completely ruined. Taiping, you can host the victory celebration banquet. I'm not going!" After Chu Xiu finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Wushang and said, "Let's go, let's continue with the dungeon and try to reach the eighth rank!"

Damn it, I wanted to see the world boss's health bar.

They wouldn't let them in.

"Let's go upgrade!"

Chu Xiu and Zhou Wushang didn't delay and immediately chose to start the fifth-tier dungeon.

Shortly after they entered, Zhou Wudao returned from the instance, running towards the Overlord's Palace with a wild laugh, saying as he ran: "Eighth-tier, seven marks, and I've even mastered the 'Great Sun Tathagata Sutra'! I'm going to take the Overlord and the Star Lord together, you all just wait!"

He didn't look at the rankings, the announcements, or the forum.

They just rushed straight in.

As soon as they entered, they saw a boss with very little health, only "ten percent" of its health remaining, swinging its sword and attacking another boss with no health bar, wielding a thunder sword, with a single blow aimed at the door.

Then, Zhou Wudao returned to Blue Star.

Looking around blankly, my mind kept asking myself, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

Have I ever opened a dungeon?

"Are you kidding me? That's Chu Xiu, not my innocent little darling?"

He entered the dungeon again and then instantly exited—after transforming into the dungeon boss, due to Chu Xiu's low health, the system granted him a special mechanism: he could unleash his ultimate skill at the start of the game!

As a result, Zhou Wudao's torment began.

As soon as they went in, they were beaten out.

It's impossible to stop it!
You can't hide!
If you try to kill them by force, you won't succeed; you won't even have a chance to make a move.

They tried everything, exhausting all means possible, but aside from failing to make the mark disappear, they used every ounce of their strength, yet still couldn't find a way.

"Damn it, with the Unharmed Talent and that kid Chu Xiu, are they trying to defy the heavens?"

At that moment, Zhou Wudao's good brother, Shen Dufu, who had been working with him in dungeons and had promised to attack the world dungeon together, found Zhou Wudao.

He counted on his fingers and said, "One day, two days, three days, why haven't you taken back the Overlord's Palace yet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wudao's face immediately darkened.

"Don't bother calculating, I can count!"

A few more days passed.

“It’s been five days!” Shen Dufu said.

"I know!"

"It's been ten days!" Shen Dufu said again.

"Damn it, why are you still urging me? You want a beating, don't you? If I can't handle the two of them, I can at least handle you!" Zhou Wudao angrily beat up Shen Dufu.

This caused Shen Dufu to weep in anguish.

He exclaimed, "You've changed! You're not the Zhou Wudao we used to team up with for dungeons anymore!"

Zhou Wudao: "..."

But the suffering goes far beyond that.

On the fifteenth day, Shen Dufu dared not urge him any further, but Olay, the overlord of the West District, pressed him, saying, "Old Zhou, what's wrong with you? The monster siege is imminent. We agreed to help you get the 'world boss' first, so why did you drop the ball on the matter of becoming the overlord of the East District?"

Immediately afterwards, the dominant players in the South and North districts also sent their greetings.

"What happened to you?"

"It can't be that you can't take it at all, right?" The North District Overlord shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You're number one on the Heavenly Ranking, I don't believe you can't take it!"

These words left Zhou Wudao, who wanted to reveal the truth, speechless.

"Damn it, my head hurts so much!" Zhou Wudao yelled in frustration, "It's going to split open!"
