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

Da da da...... Da da da......

The sound of steady footsteps echoed in the quiet environment.

Soon, Chen Xi arrived at the location of the tortoise shell, which resembled a maze.

Once inside the safe zone, the fire giant's pursuit ceased; it was likely waiting for Chen Xi outside, or temporarily hiding.

Neither of them is a big problem; they can be resolved once we get out.

From the perspective of the "Dominator's Domain," these intricate lines are all patterns on a tortoise shell.

Using a relatively blurred "God's-eye view," Chen Xi continued to advance along the main road.

Judging from Zhou Xiaogu's previous movements, she must have had a map, which is why she moved so quickly.

Chen Xi has already significantly increased his strength using the [Overlord Domain]. In terms of pure speed, he is no slower than Zhou Xiaogu, and will only get faster.

Before reaching the finish line, Chen Xi believed he could catch up with Zhou Xiaogu.

Because the tortoise is constantly moving, the path beneath its feet is always somewhat bumpy, like waves, with some undulations.

Even the mountains on the tortoise shell were shrouded in white mist, but fortunately it was just ordinary white mist and nothing special.

Da da da...... Da da da......

After getting familiar with the surroundings, Chen Xi walked faster and faster, and soon he saw something on the main road.

"Um?"

Chen Xi stopped and observed for a while, and found that this thing looked a bit like writing.

The text here does not refer to Chinese characters, but rather to text similar to those found in legends of dragon palaces and dragon gods, as well as the patterned text seen on eggshells.

But it's different from the ones we've seen before; it's a new pattern.

Chen Xi categorized these patterns into civilizations, each pattern being a script left by a different civilization or race.

I just don't know why he understood everything.

If I had to describe the character in front of me, it would look like a very long, stretched-out "霸" (ba, meaning "tyrant" or "overlord").

However, it was a bit abstract, and Chen Xi wasn't sure.

With the added pressure of pursuing Zhou Xiaogu, Chen Xi dared not linger.

Then, on the main road, Chen Xi saw these strange patterns again.

Because she wouldn't forget, Chen Xi automatically pieced these pieces of information together in her mind.

After making what he considered reasonable minor adjustments, Chen Xi suddenly stopped.

Because the words that these patterns spell out are...

The Order of the Overlords!

These characters couldn't have been randomly pieced together; this must not be a coincidence!

Thinking of this, Chen Xi immediately activated the ability of the figurines, releasing all sorts of strange-looking creatures. Then, using the God's-eye view in his mind, he sent them to those so-called side paths to find similar patterns.

Chen Xi, with an all-or-nothing mentality, continued towards the main road, searching for the patterns while relentlessly pursuing Zhou Xiaogu.

Clearly, just like the previous patterns, the things on the turtle shell are not traces of time, nor are they the unique color of the turtle shell, nor are they birthmarks!

That was information left over from a very, very long time ago; Chen Xi didn't know exactly how long ago.

But he estimated it should be before this cycle!

The reason is simple: those elongated patterns we just saw were not actually elongated.

It was a prediction that the turtle had grown up!

This is a safe zone that will grow!

As they grow up, the information that was originally engraved on the tortoise shell becomes somewhat abstract.

Fortunately, Chen Xi possesses an unparalleled memory and exceptional logical ability, allowing him to piece these distorted patterns back together.

A while later, Chen Xi received two pieces of news.

One is good, and one is bad.

The bad news is that those side streets don't have any patterns.

The good news is that there are still patterns on the main road, and they have been pieced together to form a fairly complete message.

"There are 20 Overlords in total!"

This sentence contains all the information Chen Xi has pieced together on the main road so far.

And there's very likely nothing more to come.

Because these patterns appeared at roughly equal distances, and the current distance is much greater than the previous pattern, it is highly likely that they are gone or broken.

But looking at this sentence, you can't actually glean any information; it's just a bit shocking.

But things are different now.

Chen Xi had visited the City of Giant Eggs before and learned about the Ultimate Pseudo-Man and the Symbol.

In addition to this information.

Chen Xi confirmed the absolute uniqueness of her identity; it wasn't independent in each reincarnation, but rather unique in all reincarnations!

If the identity of "farmer" was erased in the previous cycle, then the identity of "farmer" will not appear in the next cycle.

Judging from the number of hegemons, the last symbol is now 9, which is Chu Qingge, symbolizing peace.

Because the symbols all came from the ultimate fake man, there are a total of 9 overlord sequences that were taken away!

Currently, including "The Sun", there are exactly 11 dominant sequences.

That makes a total of 20!

But this does not mean that no symbolic object has ever died.

Once a player dies, the corresponding Overlord sequence will return to the so-called Awakening Pool. In total, there are 20 of them.

Apart from the rather special overlord sequence "Sun", the other 19 should all be considered normal.

Based on this calculation, the maximum number of symbols should be no more than 19, because the "sun" is the target that the Black Tower is looking for.

From this perspective, after so many cycles, nine of the dominant figures have disappeared, and the remaining minor figures have likely vanished even more.

In comparison, the number of superhumans seems quite large, but they are almost all dead.

The pseudo-humans, on the other hand, seem to have no requirement of absolute uniqueness; a fixed number of them can appear in each cycle.

Da da da.....Da da da......

Chen Xi walked a long way, but still couldn't find any more pattern information.

It is clear that "there are 20 hegemons in total" is the only information here.

Or rather... the only information that has remained!

It's unclear who left this information on the prophetic tortoise.

Chen Xi didn't expect to obtain this information while chasing Zhou Xiaogu.

Although there wasn't much content, it was like finding money on the street—it was still quite delightful.

"Um?"

As Chen Xi increased his speed, he gradually saw a familiar figure ahead.

Chen Xi recognized the flowing high ponytail at a glance.

Zhou Xiaogu!

finally......

We caught up!!!
