Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

After thinking for a moment, Liu Nian summoned Arachne.

When Arachne was pulled into the ship's interior by that net, she was automatically returned to her pet space.

As for the Big Mac...

Unfortunately, the call ended abruptly.

But it's alright, it has now reappeared in Liu Nian's backpack in the form of a pet egg.

"Master, are we on a ship?"

"Hmm! This place is weird. I feel like something is following me, but as soon as I stop, it stops too."

Arachne frowned, looked behind him, and tentatively cast a detection spell, but the darkness, like an anti-magic rock, instantly swallowed the spell's light.

Arachne tried divine magic again, but it was still ineffective.

It seems this darkness is even more advanced than the magic-suppressing rock; it can even absorb divine magic.

"Forget it, let's go!"

Since he could return to his room at any time, Liu Nian wasn't flustered.

The two began to walk, and the sound of footsteps behind them continued.

As Liu Nian walked, identifying the room numbers, he suddenly heard a sound coming from inside room 104. It sounded like something was screaming and banging on the wall.

Liu Nian was stunned, unsure whether the person in the room was another player like him or something else entirely.

However, the most urgent task was to find the Sun Devourer, so he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

But when he reached the door of room 101 at the end, he found three forks in the road ahead, with rooms on both sides of each fork, the room numbers starting with 181, 241, 851... completely without any pattern.

Liu Nian was unsure which way to go when he heard footsteps behind him pass by the door of room 104. Suddenly, the footsteps sped up and started running!

Liu Nian and Arachne quickly stood against the wall!

Then they heard what sounded like an unseen person running wildly from a distance in the darkness, passing right in front of them!

Arachne wanted to use magic to probe, but Liu Nian stopped her!

Whether this thing is a player or something else, it's not a good thing to make contact with it rashly. It's better to follow its lead and see where it's going.

"Keep up with it!"

As Liu Nian spoke, he began to move forward, following the sound of footsteps.

The footsteps seemed to realize that something was following them, and they quickened their pace!

The sound suddenly disappeared after they rushed out of another corridor and came to a staircase leading upwards.

Liu Nian stopped, pricked up his ears, and then his expression changed: "Footsteps... a lot."

Yes, a lot.

From overhead came a dense chorus of footsteps, like someone running, walking, or dragging something. The sounds were chaotic, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes as dense as a thousand horses galloping, sometimes solitary…

But as Liu Nian and Arachne held their breath, trying to discern the details—

The sound disappeared again.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Let's go up and take a look," Liu Nian said in a deep voice.

The two then went up the stairs.

The staircase was narrow, allowing only two people to pass side by side. The wooden steps creaked underfoot, sounding particularly jarring in the deathly darkness.

With each step they took, the feeling of being watched grew stronger—not from a particular direction, but from all directions, as if the entire Revolver was watching them.

The two stopped at the top of the stairs.

A huge double door appeared ahead, half-open, with a faint light shining through the crack.

The light was a ghastly white, like moonlight or some kind of firefly, appearing particularly eerie in the thick darkness.

Liu Nian stepped closer and peered through the crack in the door.

Then he froze.

Behind the door was a vast space, about half the size of a football field. In the center of the space stood an incredibly long table—at least a hundred meters long, with a single piece of obsidian, polished to a mirror-like smoothness. Hundreds of high-backed chairs were neatly arranged on both sides of the table, and the vast majority of them were occupied by a person.

No, they weren't sitting. Liu Nian noticed that they were all slumped over, in a coma.

Those people were of various shapes and sizes, representing all sorts of races. Some wore magnificent armor, some wore tattered cloaks, some were covered in scales, and some had translucent bodies in which one could vaguely see their bones.

They all had their eyes closed, their heads tilted back or drooping, in various postures, but they had one thing in common—they were all completely still, like statues.

And their ranks...

Liu Nian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Level 650, Level 720, Level 880, Level 930...

Several level 999 players were sitting on the chairs closest to the main seat!

"This..." Arachne was also shocked. "These people are all trapped inside the Reincarnation Ship?"

Liu Nian did not answer; his gaze quickly swept across the long table, searching for a familiar figure.

At the very end of the long table, near the door, a furry figure slumped in a chair—it was Devourer of the Sun!

"Found it!"

Liu Nian pushed open the door and strode towards Devouring Sun. Arachne followed closely behind, warily observing the sleeping high-level players.

Only when he got closer could Liu Nian clearly see the state of the Sun Devourer.

Shi Ri leaned back in his chair, head tilted back, mouth slightly open, emitting soft snores. His face showed no sign of pain, but rather a hint of…satisfaction? He seemed to be having a sweet dream.

There was an empty seat next to him, and Liu Nian suspected that he might have been sitting there before.

"Devouring the sun?" Liu Nian patted his bear-like face.

no response.

Liu Nian increased the force and slapped Xiong across the face.

The Sun-Eater tilted its head, and the snoring continued.

Liu Nian frowned, pinched the sun-devouring bear's nose hard, and blocked its two nostrils.

One second, two seconds, three seconds—Shi Ri's snoring stopped, and his mouth began to open and close slightly, but he still didn't wake up. Liu Nian pinched him for a full minute, and Shi Ri's face turned purple, but he still showed no signs of waking up.

“This isn’t right,” Arachne said. “It’s not a normal coma; his consciousness is trapped somewhere.”

Liu Nian nodded; he had guessed it too.

The Sun Devourer was definitely drawn into that trial of "changing history," just like Liu Nian had just experienced.

Liu Nian succeeded and directly obtained the Paradox Mark, while Devourer of the Sun... it seems that he has not yet succeeded, or failed, and is trapped in the mission world and cannot get out.

Remembering that the only way to escape this place was to create a paradox, Liu Nian felt that if he wanted to wake up the Sun Devourer, he would probably have to leave this ship!

"Take him back to his room first."

As Liu Nian was about to leave, he glanced at the others at the long table—those high-level sleepers.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

Are these people, like the Sun Devourer, trapped in the trial of changing history?

No matter what he does now, these people won't know!

So...

Liu Nian stopped and turned to look at those level 999 guys. Their equipment shimmered with a crystal-like luster! Could it be eternal-level equipment?
