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

Liu Nian walked a long way before stopping.

No one chased after them. No one made a move. No one even uttered a sound.

He didn't turn around, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Not right.

Reinhardt hated him to the core, and he knew that better than anyone. The Glory Guild fell apart, its members deserted, and a once-powerful top ten guild became a pariah—all because of Liu Nian.

Such a good opportunity, seven people lying in ambush on one, and they didn't even make a move?

They didn't come to kill him, so what are they doing here?

Liu Nian instinctively felt that things weren't that simple.

He would feel more at ease if the other party made a move.

Fight it out, win and you're done, lose and you're out. Simple and straightforward.

But now that the other side has such a golden opportunity yet remains inactive, it can only mean that there is something more important than killing Liu Nian! The other side has a grander scheme! Otherwise, how could he not take revenge after Liu Nian has ruined his Glory Guild like this!

This made Liu Nian wary.

What could be more important than eliminating your enemy?

He couldn't think of anything for the time being, so after arriving at a location where the other party couldn't detect him, Liu Nian activated the Boundary Breaker.

A flash of light.

The next second, he appeared at the headquarters of the Ovitan Dragon Guild.

The Boundary Breaker didn't fail this time; the teleportation was successful.

Liu Nian's lips curled up slightly. A Boundary Breaker could freely teleport between the Battlefield of the Heavens and the Realm of Abyss, which meant that he didn't need a pass at all and could enter and exit at any time.

He can come and go at any time, which means that everyone in the entire guild can come and go at any time through the Megatron! This is certainly good news.

Liu Nian sent a message directly in the guild channel, ordering all combatants above level 150 to put down what they were doing, suspend their adventure activities, and return to the guild headquarters to await orders!

The channel immediately became lively.

Liu Nian turned off the channel, and a thought suddenly popped into his head—if he transformed into Kazron and strolled around in front of those people again, would Reinhard still be able to resist?

After thinking it over, he decided against it. There was no need to alert them. He wanted to see what these people were waiting for, and then he would use his cunning to his advantage!

Before long, more than 300 players above level 150 in the guild had gathered. The rest were still returning one after another. Liu Nian told them to continue gathering, while he activated the Breaker and returned to Devourer's side.

"How is it?" Liu Nian asked.

"Nothing's happening, it's still lying there," said Devourer of the Sun.

"Let's avoid them and go the other way."

Liu Nian simply took a detour, avoiding the group of people, and went to the designated coordinates. He then returned the Devouring Sun to the Giant's body. After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Rift Scale and Chakna arrived together.

Before, he might not have thought much of it. But now... these two guys are definitely suspicious!

At the very least, the relationship between Riftscale and this Dragon Demon Chakna is definitely extraordinary!

"You've arrived!" The two greeted Liu Nian as usual.

Liu Nian responded normally, showing no difference from before.

Lie Lin was very cautious. The rendezvous coordinates she provided were not at the entrance to that underground city, but several kilometers away. This was clearly a precaution against Liu Nian.

But it's relatively safer to get there from here.

Lie Lin led the two through many twists and turns for nearly twenty minutes.

Liu Nian followed behind her, silently observing the route. The complexity here far exceeded his expectations—some places were not naturally formed, but rather meticulously designed.

Some seemingly normal thickets of trees lead to dead ends, turning into natural traps as you venture in; some seemingly impassable crevices in the rock walls conceal narrow passages barely wide enough for one person to squeeze through sideways. Without a guide, even turning this entire area upside down would make it difficult to find the right spot.

"We've arrived." Lie Lin stopped in front of what appeared to be an ordinary rock wall.

Liu Nian looked at the rock wall—the old vines on the grayish-white stone surface were layered on top of each other, as if they had been growing for decades or even centuries.

Several thick tree roots hung down from above, deeply embedding themselves in the cracks of the rock, completely binding the entire rock face. Several ferns grew in the crevices, and some fist-sized beetles were slowly crawling around their roots.

It was indistinguishable from the other rock walls around it.

If it weren't for Lie Lin leading the way, he could have passed by here a hundred times without giving it a second glance.

"Where is the entrance?" Chakna asked, the dragon demon head looking around blankly.

Lie Lin did not answer.

She swam to the rock face, but instead of touching the rocks or vines that Liu Nian thought looked like mechanisms, she went straight to a pile of withered grass on the left. After parting the grass, she found a pile of rusted metal half-buried in the soil.

The metal objects were no longer recognizable as they were; some resembled pipes, others gears, and several twisted steel plates were stuck crookedly in the mud, their surfaces covered with honeycomb-like rust holes. Anyone would mistake them for just ordinary scraps found everywhere in the Forest of Giants.

Lie Lin crouched down, brushed aside the vines and soil on the surface, and revealed an ancient mechanical device half-buried in the ground.

She pulled out a tool that Liu Nian had never seen before from her waist and skillfully tightened several inconspicuous screws on the side of the device.

Lie Lin moved very gently, as if handling a fragile piece of porcelain—first twisting it clockwise once, then counterclockwise two and a half times, and then clockwise a quarter of a turn…

Liu Nian squinted. This wasn't tightening a screw; this was entering a password!

With her precise operation, a laborious "clicking" sound came from inside the rusted device, intermittent, like a gear that had been dormant for thousands of years struggling to turn its rusted teeth, as if it would completely jam at any moment.

Crack Scale twisted and turned several times, listening intently to the internal reaction each time.

After repeating this three times—

"Click."

A crisp sound came from deep within the rock wall.

Lie Lin stood up and took a step back. On the rock wall, an inconspicuous rock began to slowly bulge out, the moss on its surface was torn away, revealing a nearly petrified, intricate sphere underneath—the mechanical core made of gears and unknown materials, its color changed by age.

Chuckner frowned. "How long has it been since this thing was driven?"

"At least several hundred years." Rift Scale said without turning his head. "I studied at the Engineering Guild for over a year just to learn how to operate this thing!"

The gears were in terrible condition—some were rusted and had to be pried open bit by bit with a fingernail; some were loose and spun freely at the slightest touch; and some had broken teeth, making a hollow "clicking" sound when turned. Liu Nianguang found it difficult to even look at; it was something even a master engineer might not be able to handle.

As the scales made their final tap, the gears emitted a crisp "click"—the cleanest sound the device had made in a long time.

The sphere quickly retracted into the rock wall and disappeared into the darkness.

silence.

Three seconds. Five seconds.

Just as Liu Nian thought something had gone wrong, a low tremor came from beneath his feet—it came from deep within the rock wall, from the depths of the earth, dull and long, like a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years turning over underground.

The entire rock face began to tremble. Then, the rock face that had blended into its surroundings, along with the vines, moss, tree roots, and soil on it, silently sank downwards as a whole.

The rock wall has completely sunk into the ground, revealing a downward-sloping metal ramp.
