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

The dragonblood kobold warlock who killed Yun Xiangrong in front of everyone at Graystone Fortress.

He doesn't even dare to leave the house now.

Someone on the main channel started a special column titled "A Review of the Top Ten Embarrassing Moments of the Glory Guild," and Kazron "topped" the list—not only because he was instantly killed by Liu Nian with one punch, but also because his actions directly led to the Glory Guild's demise.

"If he hadn't withheld the Divine Dragon Guild's spoils and killed their people, would Liu Nian have been so ruthless?"

"Exactly! He thought he could bully a newbie girl just because he's level 199, but he got what he deserved!"

"Serves him right! This kind of person should have his account deleted!"

Kazron stood at the Glory Guild's headquarters, his face ashen.

The guild chat was in complete chaos:

[Rongguang member C: It's all Kazlon's fault! If he hadn't caused trouble, why would Liu Nian have targeted us?]

[Rongguang member D: Exactly! Why did we provoke the Divine Dragon Guild in the first place? Now look what happened, the guild's reputation is ruined, all our resource points are gone, and the guild leader doesn't dare to come back!]

[Glory Member E: Kazron, don't you have anything to say?]

Kazron gripped the staff tightly with his claws, his knuckles turning white.

Blame him?

We all agreed to mess with the Dragonborn and teach them a lesson whenever we had the chance, but now you're all blaming me.

Weren't you all watching when they withheld the loot? Weren't you laughing the loudest when they mocked the Divine Dragon Guild? Didn't you wholeheartedly agree when they said, "Small guilds like this deserve to be taught a lesson"?

Now that something's happened, you're blaming it all on me?

He suddenly stood up and typed a line in the guild chat:

[Kazron: Fine, it's all my fault. I'll leave then, okay?]

[System: Kazron has left the Glory Guild.]

The guild channel was silent for a second, then exploded.

[Rongguang member F: Kazlon has left the group?!]

[Rongguang member G: What's the point of running away now? Isn't that just shifting the blame...?]

[Rongguang member H: Heh, what the superiors do sets the example for the subordinates. I think Rongguang is finished...]

But to everyone's surprise, Kazron's departure was like toppling the first domino.

That afternoon, more than a dozen key members of the Glory Guild resigned.

The next day, more and more people left the guild, from dozens to hundreds. Those who were still observing saw that things were not going well and also left one after another—who wanted to stay in a guild that everyone hated?

On the third day, the wave of withdrawals reached its peak.

The number of members in the Glory Guild plummeted from tens of thousands at its peak to less than a hundred. Those veteran players who were once proud of the "Glory Guild" didn't even bother to say goodbye when they left.

Once one of the top ten guilds in Ovitan, it became an empty shell in just three days.

Although it hasn't officially disbanded, everyone knows that Glory Guild is dead.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Divine Dragon Guild.

Yun Xiangrong's mind was buzzing as she watched the constant influx of new user applications.

The Divine Dragon Guild doesn't recruit from the outside because the guild's level is too low. Even Divine Dragon Descendants and vassals can join, so how can they recruit?

"Guild Master, over a hundred more Dragonborn and over three hundred Bee-men have been promoted! It looks like we might not have enough manpower at the base!"

"Guild Master, the fourth batch of Demon Bear Clan warriors has arrived. Sun Eater is asking how to arrange things!"

"Guild Master, the Abe Bees say the Psionic Core has been repaired and has been delivered to the Floating City. They're asking when the final repairs will begin?"

"Guild Leader! Someone in the main chat is asking if our guild is still recruiting! Lots of casual players want to join!"

Liu Nian was overwhelmed by a barrage of questions.

"One at a time." He rubbed his temples. "If there aren't enough places to stay, rent new ones. The money will come from the guild warehouse. The Demon Bear Clan... let Devourer of the Sun take them to level up first. What are Wang Mu and Wang Mian doing? Why aren't they up here yet! Tell them to level up quickly! I'm already overwhelmed here, and they're still dawdling in the lower arena! As for the Floating City—"

He paused, then his eyes lit up.

"Let's go see it now."

---

Anaxim, at the heart of the floating city.

A dark blue crystal floats in the center of the space—the Phantom Energy Core, the energy heart of the floating city.

At this moment, Arachne hovered beside the core, her eight spider legs inserted into the runic array surrounding it. Silver threads flowed from her fingertips, intertwining with the patterns on the core's surface. The artisans of the Silverscale Naga surrounded her, maintaining the stability of the magic array. Mia was also mobilizing hidden magical cables from throughout the city to reach this point…

Arachne opened her eyes as Liu Nian approached.

"Master, we are ready."

Liu Nian nodded: "Let's begin."

Arachne took a deep breath, and with all eight spider legs exerting force simultaneously, he injected the final rune into the core.

The psionic core suddenly lit up.

A deep blue light surged from the core's depths, flowing like blood along the surface's patterns, spreading to the chamber's walls, ceiling, and floor. One by one, the runes that had slumbered for countless years lit up, and the entire floating city began to tremble and awaken…

Like a giant beast that has been asleep for thousands of years, it has finally opened its eyes.

The entire floating city was glowing.

The runes on the city walls lit up one by one, the crystals atop the towers began to rotate, and the streetlights on both sides of the street lit up one after another. Those buildings that had been silent for countless years seemed to awaken from their long slumber; every brick and stone seemed to breathe, and every crack seemed to flow with the light of energy.

Beneath the floating city, massive propulsion engines began to operate. First, the main engine roared, its deep rumble causing the surrounding space to tremble. Then, several secondary engines ignited one after another, eerie blue flames spewing from their nozzles, and the floating city began to rise.

Slowly, steadily, like a giant beast stretching its limbs as it rises. Its speed increases, tearing apart the surrounding water and mud, and causing rocks overhead to fall in a rustling sound…

The moment the floating city broke through the dark region and came to the surface, the entire city was bathed in golden sunlight, every brick and stone was shining, and every tower was gleaming.

The ancient buildings possessed an incredible beauty under the sunlight. Amidst the cheers of countless players and NPCs throughout the city, the sun shone for the first time into this city that had slumbered for far too long.

Liu Nian stood in front of the viewing window, remaining silent for a long time.

Golden light flowed across the surface of the ancient building, and the runes that had been dormant for countless years lit up one after another like torches that had been rekindled.

The streetlights on both sides of the street emitted a soft glow, and the crystal on the top of the tower slowly rotated, refracting the sunlight into a seven-colored spectrum that sprinkled into every corner of the city.

Arachne landed beside him, retracting her eight spider legs, a tired but satisfied smile on her face.

"Master, the main control unit of the floating city Anaxim has been repaired."
