I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

As the white light faded, Li Wu felt the ground beneath his feet once more.

He opened his eyes and found himself standing at the teleportation point of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons.

Everything around remained unchanged; the massive dragon skeleton loomed faintly in the distance, and the air was still thick with the aura of desolation and death.

But Li Wu could sense something was different.

The energy flowing in the air was no longer a blurry mass in his eyes, but rather composed of countless tiny cryptic symbols that operated according to specific rules.

He could even clearly "see" that the flow of the wind was a combination of "mist" and "flow," and that the solidity of the rocks was a manifestation of "rock" and "condensation."

This is a completely new perspective that comes with mastering "grammar".

In his eyes, the whole world had become a readable book written with thirty-six basic letters.

"So this is what it feels like to be the 'Lord of the Secret Texts'..." Li Wu murmured to himself.

He opened the properties panel to see the results of the past six months.

[Level: LV100]

【Intelligence: 27891】

Luck: 26340

[Magic Attack Power: 35672]

The level remained the same, but the intelligence and luck stats increased slightly due to the full comprehension bonus from the title "Master of Mystic Texts".

More importantly, a brand new passive ability has been added below his skill bar.

[Grammatical Intuition (Passive)]

[Effect: When you construct your arrows, your intuition will automatically provide the optimal arrangement and combination logic. Your understanding of arrows transcends experience and reaches the level of rules.]

This means that he will no longer need to experiment repeatedly when creating new archery skills; he can deduce them directly in his mind.

Creativity was unleashed to an infinite degree.

"Six months..." Li Wu turned off the panel, calculating in his mind.

He stayed in the Arcane Wasteland for six months, and according to Erling's three-to-one time flow, only two months should have passed outside.

In two months, Hua Zitong should have led the guild to level five, and probably obtained the city building token as well.

Right now, they might be busy with all sorts of trivial matters related to city construction.

My return came at just the right time, and I can help relieve a lot of her pressure.

Thinking of this, he habitually turned on his communicator.

The moment the screen lit up, a flood of information that had been piling up for half a year rushed in.

[System notification: You have 99+ unread guild messages.]

[System notification: You have 99+ unread messages from friends.]

[System notification: You have 99+ unread system emails.]

Li Wu was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he saw two messages from Hua Zitong.

[Hua Zitong: Where are you?]

[Hua Zitong: Reply immediately upon seeing this message!]

From the tone of these two messages, Li Wu sensed an unusual urgency.

He frowned, and instead of replying immediately, he opened the guild channel.

The screen was instantly flooded with a deluge of news.

[Immovable as a Mountain: The East Wall is in dire need of support! Arrow Tower No. 3 has been destroyed, and the Priest Guild is required to assist!]

[Steel Shield: A breach has appeared in North Wall, Block B! Damn it, those bastards' elite squad has charged in, we can't hold them off!]

[Lin Hai: @All Healers, Superior Mana Restoration Potions have been replenished at Supply Point 3. Those who are low on mana, go get them now!]

[Chasing Wind: Reporting to the Guild Master! The Godslayer Alliance's ranged forces are gathering in the southeast direction, about 800 meters away, with an initial estimate of over 1,000 men!]

[Anchor: Damn it! I'm dead again! These bastards, just wait until I respawn!]

The guild channel was in chaos, with battle reports, requests for help, and angry shouts all intertwined, creating a scene of utter carnage.

Li Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Fighting?

With whom? The Godslayer Alliance? What is that?

Also, the east wall? The north wall?

He immediately realized that the guild had already built a city!

And it is currently experiencing a massive war!

He quickly scrolled up the chat history and soon found the pinned system announcement.

[Server-wide Announcement: The Battle of the Undying City will officially begin in 24 hours...]

The announcement was released 23 hours ago.

In other words, the war has been going on for an hour!

Li Wu's mind raced.

City building, city defense battles, the God-Slaying Alliance, city-annihilating beast tides...

When these pieces of information were put together, he instantly understood the current situation.

The guild is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Erling lied to him!

Or rather, Erlin's remaining will has a flawed perception of time!

The time flow in Arcane Wasteland is not three to one! It's one to one!

He spent half a year inside, and a full six months outside!

In six months, far too many things can happen.

Li Wu didn't have time to think it through and immediately sent a message to Hua Zitong.

[Seeing Through the Fog: Just came out, what's going on outside?]

After sending the message, he didn't hesitate at all. He took out a return scroll from his backpack and crushed it.

He must go back immediately.

A flash of white light, and the next second, Li Wu appeared in the Ironforge teleportation plaza.

However, the scene before him stunned him once again.

Ironforge, once so familiar, now felt somewhat strange. The square was bustling with people, but the players' levels were generally above 100, with quite a few even reaching level 110.

Their equipment was also a level above what it was six months ago, with the brilliance of legendary gear visible everywhere.

The game's progress has advanced significantly in the six months since he left.

The other players around him also noticed him.

"Huh, who's this guy? Why does his gear look so...simple?"

"I don't know, I don't think I've seen it before. Judging by the level, it's level 100, just reached that."

"Level 100 is just the beginning now. I've been stuck at level 119 for almost a month. Leveling up is so hard."

"Hurry, hurry, let's go watch the live stream! Myth Guild is about to collapse, the City of Immortality is probably going to fall!"

"What a pity, that city was really beautifully built. But Myth has indeed been arrogant for too long, it's time to be taught a lesson. I heard that their leader, 'Seeing Flowers in the Fog,' has been missing for half a year, probably deleted his account."

"Who knows? It's just one version of God. Now it's all the Iron-Blooded Lion's world."

The players' chatter reached Li Wu's ears intermittently.

Missing? Account deleted? A version of a god?

Li Wu's eyes turned cold.

He ignored the passersby and headed straight for the exclusive teleportation array of the Undying City.

Those were special teleportation channels established in major cities by the Myth Guild after it became the masters of the cities.

As he stepped onto the teleportation array, the members of the Myth Guild guarding it saw him.

The young warrior player paused for a moment upon seeing Li Wu, then frowned and said:

"Friend, this is the exclusive teleportation array of the Myth Guild, and it is not open to the public."

Clearly, the newcomer did not know him.

Li Wu didn't bother to explain and simply took out his guild leader badge from his backpack.

When the badge engraved with the word "Myth" and emitting a faint golden light appeared before the young warrior, he was completely dumbfounded.

"The...the president?!" he stammered, his voice filled with disbelief.

The legendary president, who had been missing for half a year, has actually... returned?

Ignoring his shock, Li Wu initiated the teleportation directly.

The light shone again, engulfing him.
