Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"this......"

All three were dumbfounded.

"What a coincidence!"

"Have we witnessed a miracle?"

"His identity as the emperor just happened to awaken at this moment!"

After a moment of silence, Yang Wei was the first to speak, his words revealing a hint of excitement.

Chen Xi did not answer.

He stared at the historical stone tablet in his hand and suddenly remembered two sentences the principal had said earlier.

"The historical stone tablet itself is a forbidden object."

All I know is that it's a forbidden item that's only beneficial to us extraordinary beings.

The historical stone tablet can only enhance the characteristic of a superhuman's identity and its appearance. Among the top 10 forbidden items, it seems that only one can meet this condition!

Number 4: The Heaven-Slaying Stone Crown!

A forbidden item exclusively for the emperor!

Combined with the fact that the emperor's identity had just awakened, Chen Xi guessed something.

"It's probably not a coincidence."

"The moment these stone slabs are all collected will likely be the prerequisite for the awakening of the emperor's identity!"

"The characters representing the emperor's identity that have been erected are still not colored, so he probably hasn't fully awakened yet."

Chen Xi had just finished speaking.

suddenly!

Without warning, the historical stone slab suddenly began to emit a golden light, which became increasingly dazzling, to the point that even sunglasses could not block it.

Not long after.

With a "whoosh," the historical stone tablet broke free from Chen Xi's control and flew into the sky.

Judging from its direction, its destination was the Black Tower!

At the same time, Chen Xi discovered a strange symbol on the palm of his left hand.

This symbol looks a bit like a horizontal 8, and somewhat resembles the symbol for infinity.

Chen Xi was certain that this thing was not in his palm before; it must have appeared after the historical stone tablets were pieced together.

The reason I say "should" is because Chen Xi hadn't looked at her own palm before.

Immediately, Chen Xi glanced at Yang Wei's and Yan Mingliang's palms and found that neither of them had the symbol.

However, as the stone slab flew into the sky, the strange symbol also disappeared.

Chen Xi herself had no feeling about it, nor did she know whether it was good or bad.

The historical stone tablet that flew into the sky gradually lost its golden light, and things kept falling off its body as if it were peeling off skin.

After the light completely disappeared, its appearance changed again, becoming a crown-like shape.

"this......"

"Boss, this stone slab has made a name for itself!"

"The Heaven-Slaying Stone Crown!"

"It's that forbidden item, number 4!"

Chen Xi was not surprised by the name.

It seems that Yang Wei couldn't see the name before because it wasn't a complete forbidden item, but now that it's been restored to its original state, he can see it.

Black Tower...

The Heavenly Stone Crown moved closer to the Black Tower...

Chen Xi kept repeating these two sentences to himself.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something the emperor had said earlier when he came over with the straight network cable.

"The emperor's identity can only be awakened within the Black Tower."

Considering the current situation, could this statement be true?!

It wasn't a story that person made up back then.

In other words, an ordinary person inside the Black Tower is about to awaken to the identity of an emperor!

Just when Chen Xi thought the matter was over.

suddenly!

In the sky, a giant hand made of white wax, like the Five Finger Mountain, reached out to grasp the Qitian Stone Crown.

This giant hand is as big as a building; describing it as a mountain would not be an exaggeration.

Compared to it, the Qitian Stone Crown is so small as to be negligible.

With a "snap," the Qitian Stone Crown was undoubtedly grabbed by the giant white wax hand.

Unfortunately, only a few seconds had passed.

With a "poof," the Qitian Stone Crown flew out of the giant white wax hand and continued its advance towards the Black Tower.

It eventually turned into a shooting star and disappeared into the horizon.

"In the end, I still couldn't stop it..."

From behind the giant white wax hand in the sky, a middle-aged woman's voice suddenly came.

"That voice is..."

Chen Xi, who was stunned by the scene before her, suddenly came back to her senses because of the voice.

Only then did he notice that there was another person behind the giant, waxy white hand.

"That sound...that background..."

“No way!?”

Chen Xi murmured in disbelief.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Were you scared too?"

Chen Xi ignored Yang Wei's concern and, as if confirming an answer, shouted with all her might towards the sky:

"mom!"

......

......

At the summit of a snow-capped mountain, the cold wind howled.

A woman with long black hair, wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts, sat there quietly, as if contemplating life, her demeanor literally calm and collected.

She was covered in snow, making her stand out like a completely different scene from the rest of the landscape.

But it also possesses a unique beauty and elegance.

Suddenly, as if sensing something.

She abruptly raised her head, looking towards the horizon, a flash of shock crossing her eyes:

"That is?"

"The Heaven-Supporting Stone Crown..."

This scene silenced her, her expression revealing a hint of unspoken emotion.

"Ha... I, Lu Xitong, have done so much, yet I still can't truly 'replace' the Emperor's identity?"

"How ironic! I've come this far, caught such a big fish, and I'm still not a true emperor!"

This statement sounds like self-deprecation:

"Does a 'stand-in' have to be forever just a stand-in who can't be shown to others?"

"But I can completely take on any other role, so why can't I take on the role of the emperor?"

"Is it because of my status as a sage emperor that they don't recognize me?"

The voice sounded like a complaint, as if a modified ox or horse was grumbling.

"After so many years of hard work, even if I haven't achieved anything great, I have certainly put in the effort."

Another long silence followed, with no sound except for the whistling of the cold wind.

After saying that, she looked at a Rubik's Cube-shaped object in her hand:

"The 'prop' has also reverted from its original form as the Qitian Stone Crown."

"All the power I possess related to the emperor is also rapidly disappearing."

"The true emperor is about to awaken."

"It seems my plan to usurp the throne has completely failed."

The voice was initially somewhat negative, but then it perked up and said:

"The pseudo-human is destined to lose. I must replace an unawakened overlord sequence before that happens."

"I must make the most of this last bit of strength."

After Lu Xitong finished speaking, she suddenly looked up, and the pitch-black night sky seemed to present a different scene to her.

"The top four hegemons have now awakened."

"As a substitute for the fifth sequence, I can only settle for a target from the sixth to tenth sequence that meets the replacement criteria."

A few seconds later.

As if discovering a treasure, Lu Xitong's eyes flashed with a strange light:

"It seems that God has left me a way out."

"Within the hierarchy of overlords, there is one identity that has not yet been awakened!"

"So..."

"I've chosen you!"

"Pro player!"

......

......

Black Tower.

"Where am I?!"

"Why is it that no matter how far I run, the scenery around me never seems to move backward?"

"But I also feel that I am indeed making progress!"

"I don't know either, I just suddenly appeared here."

"Bro, do you think this might be some kind of mass time travel?"

"That's how it's written in novels."

"Group outfit?"

"But where's the cheat code?!"

Pfft!

Just as the two finished their conversation, a ferocious beast the size of a truck and resembling a Tibetan Mastiff bit off their heads, delivering a double kill.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Help!"

"Mother!"

The crowd scattered.

At that moment, a filthy, fat man was struggling to survive in the crowd.

"Wang Qingqing, stay close to me!"

"good!"

Wang Qingqing didn't recognize the fat man in front of her, but he insisted that he knew her and even claimed to be her classmate.

She wouldn't have believed it if the other person hadn't accurately described some things that happened to her in school.

Another point is the fat man's name.

His name is Lin Fan!

That's the person Chen Xi had been looking for all day!

Combining the two, it can be quickly concluded that Lin Fan does indeed exist in the class.

But why do I have no recollection of it at all?

But now is not the time to think about these things; survival is the key!

Lin Fan was more experienced than her and helped her for free, so Wang Qingqing naturally followed him.

Lin Fan wasn't the only one following him, but compared to the strangers, Wang Qingqing, being his classmate, naturally received special treatment from him.

Led by Lin Fan, a team of 23 people hid in a cave.

But this time Lin Fan seemed to have failed; his location was discovered by those ferocious beasts as big as trucks.

The other person, like a cat playing with a mouse, kept peering into the cave from outside with a mocking look.

Finished!

This is a shared thought in the minds of everyone on the team.

This team is of high quality; not a single person took the initiative to speak ill of Lin Fan.

After all, no one is certain they will survive.

Everyone is complaining about their bad luck. All they can do now is pray that these beasts lose interest in them.

But the idea was beautiful, while the reality was harsh.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, the sound of a mountain collapsing came from outside the cave.

"Oh no! These ferocious beasts are digging this cave; they've got their eyes on us!"

Wang Qingqing said anxiously.

What to do!

What to do!

Having narrowly escaped several crises, Lin Fan frantically asked himself these questions.

At this level of digging speed, these big dogs will be upon us in about 5 minutes.

Everyone will die then!

Ahhhhh!

What should I do?!

Inside the cave, there was an eerie silence, a suffocating silence born of utter despair!

Just as Lin Fan was extremely anxious, a loud "bang" suddenly went off as a large dog that was digging a hole exploded.

"What's going on!?"

Lin Fan suddenly looked up.

An incredibly fast streak of light struck him squarely!
