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

Meanwhile, in the Myth Guild.

Hua Zitong received a reply from the Heavenly Punishment Guild.

When she saw the words "All agree", even she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She had assumed that the other party would try to negotiate, and might even have prepared a set of arguments.

Unexpectedly, the Spear of Eternity agreed so readily.

"This man... is indeed extraordinary," Hua Zitong murmured to herself.

He was willing to sacrifice immediate benefits and face to facilitate this cooperation.

His schemes are far more complex than simply becoming a world boss.

His real goal is probably...

Li Wu's image reappeared in Hua Zitong's mind.

It seems that a fateful showdown is now inevitable.

"Lin Hai." Hua Zitong answered the call.

"Yes, Vice President."

"Immediately issue an 'Alliance Invitation' in the name of our Mythical Guild and Heavenly Punishment Guild to all guilds across the server that participated in the Titan Extermination War."

"Our target is not a hastily assembled rabble, but a unified, coordinated, and powerful punitive expeditionary force!"

"If we're going to play, let's play big!"

Ambitious glints flashed in Hua Zitong's eyes.

She wanted to take this opportunity to spread the influence of the Myth Guild to the entire server!

Just as the entire Realm of Origin was engulfed in turmoil due to the "Titan Extermination War".

Li Wu, one of the catalysts that ignited this storm, was completely unaware of it.

He had just cleared out the last wave of monsters in the abyssal rift and was preparing to leave.

Just then, his communicator suddenly rang.

It was an urgent communication from Zhui Feng.

Li Wu connected the call, and Zhui Feng's anxious voice immediately came through.

"Boss! Something terrible has happened!"

"Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Li Wu's voice remained calm.

It seemed that nothing could stir his emotions.

"Boss, it's like this!" Chasing Wind said rapidly, "Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on those shady characters in District 21? I just discovered a shocking secret while monitoring a mercenary group called 'Scorpion'!"

"The Poison Scorpion Mercenary Group?" Li Wu vaguely remembered the name.

He seems to have been an insignificant minor character in the previous Godslayer Alliance.

"Yes! It's them!" said Chasing Wind. "After the Iron Blood Alliance disbanded, instead of calming down, they became even more active. I sensed something was wrong, so I sent people to follow them. And guess what I found?"

"They're actually secretly making contact with a mysterious force in District One!"

"The forces in District One?" Li Wu raised an eyebrow.

"That's right!" Chasing Wind said confidently, "I sent my thieves to risk their lives to infiltrate their secret base and overhear a conversation. They seem to be plotting something big in this world event!"

"What exactly is it?" Li Wu asked.

"I didn't hear the specifics clearly. But they mentioned a few keywords," Zhui Feng recalled.

"Titan Core, Contamination, Sacrifice..."

"Titan Core? Contamination? Sacrifice?"

Li Wu repeated these words, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He immediately understood the other party's intention.

This group was not content with simply defeating Titans and sharing the spoils.

They actually wanted to use some kind of evil ritual to "corrupt" the core of Titan, so as to seize it for themselves or obtain more powerful power from the abyss!

This is absolutely insane!

The boss of a world event embodies the will of the entire game world.

To attempt to pollute it is tantamount to challenging the rules of the entire world.

If successful, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At best, the Burning Plains will be completely destroyed, turning into a permanent dead zone.

In severe cases, it could attract even more terrifying ancient gods from the abyss than the Titans!

"These idiots, don't they know the consequences of doing this?" Li Wu's voice turned cold.

"They know!" said Chasing Wind. "From their conversation, it seems they've received guidance from some abyssal evil god. If they successfully sacrifice a Titan, they can obtain 'divinity' bestowed by that evil god!"

"Divinity..."

Li Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He remembered what Erling had said to him in the Arcane Wasteland.

When a player's strength reaches a certain critical point, they will have the opportunity to ignite the divine fire, condense their divine essence, and ultimately become a true god.

"Divinity" is the most crucial and rarest material for igniting the divine fire.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder they dared to defy the world and do such a heaven-defying thing.

Faced with the temptation of becoming a god, any risk seems insignificant.

"When did their plan begin?" Li Wu asked.

"Right after Titan's arrival!" Wind Chaser said, "Their plan is to send an elite team to infiltrate Titan's body, find its core, and then carry out a corruption ritual while all the guilds' main forces are tied down by Titan!"

"I understand." Li Wu nodded.

"Boss, what do we do now? Should we tell Vice President Hua about this and ask her to join forces with the Heavenly Punishment Guild to stop them?" Zhui Feng asked.

"No need," Li Wu shook her head.

"Right now, all the major guilds are preparing for the Titan raid, and morale is low. Announcing this news prematurely will only cause unnecessary panic and suspicion."

"Moreover, we don't have any solid evidence. It's hard to convince someone like Eternal Spear based on just an overheard conversation."

"Then... what should we do? We can't just stand by and watch them succeed, can we?" Zhui Feng asked anxiously.

"Of course not." A cold smile curled at the corner of Li Wu's mouth.

"Since they like to play dirty tricks behind the scenes, I'll play along with them."

"As for Hua Zitong, let her proceed according to the original plan. She will participate in the Titan Extermination Campaign as scheduled."

"As for these rats that can't stand the light of day..."

A murderous glint flashed in Li Wu's eyes.

"I will personally drag them out of the hole one by one, and then strangle them to death."

"Boss, you mean..." Zhui Feng seemed to understand something.

"That's right," Li Wu said. "Immediately send me the location of the 'Poison Scorpion Mercenary Group's' stronghold, as well as information on all their core members."

"I want to give the Titans a 'surprise' before they arrive."

After hanging up the call, there was no trace of a smile on Li Wu's face.

He thought that once the internal conflicts in District 21 were resolved, he could have a fair and square contest with the top experts from the older districts.

Unexpectedly, there are always some reckless individuals who like to use such underhanded methods to challenge his bottom line.

"Since you've chosen to die..."

Li Wu glanced at his level, which had already reached level 102, and felt an even more surging power within him than before.

"Then I will grant your wish."
