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

Level 1000?

How can this person be level 1000?

The one who surpasses others is level 1000!

Moreover, this person's appearance seems familiar; I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.

Jamil's expression was even more shocked than Liu Nian's: "You...you're Mika?!"

"Gamir." The man named Mika looked at her with a complex expression. "I'm disappointed. I've given you enough time, and you still haven't gathered the Heart of All Things!"

"You..." Gamir's lips trembled. "You're not Mika! You're... Cyborus!"

A picture suddenly flashed through Liu Nian's mind.

He remembered that at the end of the hundred-meter-long table on the Reincarnation Ship, in the chair closest to the head of the table, there were several level 999 players sitting, and one of them was him!

At that time, that person remained motionless, trapped in the cycle of reincarnation just like everyone else.

"Those five guys all betrayed me," Cyburus said calmly. "And Huang Sui and you were useless, so I had no choice but to end Season 7. Season 8 was my last chance. I've learned from the lessons and experiences of the past seven seasons, and this time I can finally break free from the shackles of the underlying laws and take the stage myself!"

Jamil glanced at Liu Nian: "I thought you had chosen a new game-changer to lead Season 8..."

Cyburus laughed, "Breakthrough? Heh... Over the long years, I've seen through the true nature of you adventurers. Each of you has your own agenda, and you'll never willingly obey me! Gamir, do you dare say that after you become a Transcendent, you will do as I say, overthrow their rule, help me defeat the Data Cancer, and devour the World Tree?"

Gamir remained silent.

"The reason I destroyed all your belongings on the Reincarnation was partly as a slight punishment, and partly..." he said, glancing at Liu Nian, "...to draw their attention and muddy the waters! It seems he did a very good job, much better than any of you!"

"So, in any case..." Cyborus looked at the two of them, "given the amount of work you've both done for me, I must reward you. You can each make a request of me."

Liu Nian and Gamir exchanged a glance.

Jamil spoke first: "Can you send us back to our original world?"

"Who are you referring to, 'you all'?"

"Me and my people!" Gamir said.

Cyburus shook his head decisively: "That's impossible. If it were you, you'd already be recorded in the Cyber ​​Chronicles, and I might be able to send you back, but I'd erase your memories of this place. If it's the entire race, it's simply impossible!"

Gamir remained silent.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Nian said, "I want a complete Demon's Heart!"

Jamil's lips twitched.

You really dare to ask for that!

There's only one of these per season, and the Demon Heart from Season 8 has already been used on Mika!

She even doubted whether Cyborus still had this thing!

Cyburus was also surprised by Liu Nian's request, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "There are only 8 Demon Hearts in total."

Liu Nian had actually thought of that, but he still asked it that way on purpose. The idea is to ask for the moon and then negotiate it down. He first made a request that the other party couldn't meet, raising their psychological ceiling. Once the other party refused, the second request, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, would usually be approved.

"Then, do you have a way to instantly level me up to level 999?"

"This..." Cyborus frowned slightly, seemingly making a decision. "Okay!"

As he spoke, he waved to the ghost ship, and then a huge table appeared on the deck, with a group of sleeping players sitting around it.

Cyburus waved his hand again, and a large number of white numbers emerged from above the heads of those people, condensing into orbs of light.

Clearly, he was extracting experience points from those players.

Soon, Cyburus had gained enough experience, and after fusing all the light orbs into one, he handed it over to Liu Nian.

【Experience Orb: Immediately grants ×× experience points upon use.】

He then looked at Gamir: "State your request."

"I have no requests for the time being," Gamir said.

"No! State your demands!" Cyborus insisted.

Liu Nian frowned.

"I...I'll think about it when I get back..."

"No! Say it right now!"

Jamil also sensed something was wrong. Who would be so eager to give benefits?

"I have no more demands, I give up!"

"You must make a request of me!!" Cyburus's expression changed, and he began to look somewhat sinister.

"What if I refuse?" Gamir tensed up, ready to strike at any moment.

"Then you will be locked on the Reincarnation Ship for eternity!" Cyburus said solemnly.

"I……"

Liu Nian narrowed his eyes and said to Gamir, "How about you give me a set of the Eternal Armor? The one Emperor No Light wore!"

Jamil glanced at Liu Nian and nodded: "Alright, then help me strip Emperor Wuguang of all his armor and give it to Liu Nian!"

Cyburus gave the two of them a deep look, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Trying to be clever... Heh, fine! No problem! But... Liu Nian! I have fulfilled your request, our previous mission relationship is completely over. Now, it's time to start a new mission! I've decided to use your body for... ten thousand years!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a figure suddenly flew out from the Reincarnation!

Liu Nian's gaze sharpened; it was actually his true form!

A warning bell rang in Liu Nian's mind!

Without a second thought, the teleportation was initiated.

Cyburus waved his hand, and Liu Nian felt his head go heavy for a moment, but he quickly regained his senses.

He was then horrified to discover that he had just been struck by some kind of attack, and a fragment of the Heart of All Things on his body exploded!

"Huh?" Cyburus let out a soft exclamation. "I forgot about that..." He looked at Gamir. "I thought that apart from the fragments on Vinera, the other three would be on you! Useless!... But... Hmph!!" He waved his hand again as he spoke.

Liu Nian felt his head sink again, and then with a snap, the second fragment of the Heart of All Things exploded!

However, with the time gained by the explosion of the two fragments, Liu Nian finally managed to activate the Boundary Breaker and return to the ruined city!

The Ruins City is a level nine city, capable of withstanding even attacks from transcendents. Furthermore, this city follows the system's rules and should not be under the jurisdiction of Cyburus!

Gamir then activated the Heavenly Punishment Domain to block Cyborus's path.

"Get out of the way!!"

Gamir didn't back down, but stared into Cyborus's eyes and said, "Our mission relationship isn't over yet, so... you can't launch any attacks against me, right?"

"Hmph!" Cyburus snorted coldly without answering.

"No wonder you asked me to make demands. Issuing a quest – completing the quest – claiming the reward… these three steps must be completed before you can continue to target players using new quest-issuing methods… but I don't know, when did you issue me a quest? No… this might not be a quest in the traditional sense… but rather some kind of code of conduct that you must follow!"

Inside the ruined city, Liu Nian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Cyborus had not appeared.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and had two fragments of the Heart of All Things on him, otherwise he would probably be a puppet of Cyborus by now!

If someone else controls your body, and your mind is still hiding inside that body, just watching someone manipulate your body for ten thousand years, you'd probably go insane long ago!

Cyberus is, after all, the creator of the entire Cyber ​​Hell. Even if he has been usurped, he is still the creator!

In some ways, he's on par with a creator god; if this guy wanted to control him...

Liu Nian felt that even if he reached level 999 and learned the Magic Reincarnation Technique, making him invincible in terms of attributes, he would still have a hard time escaping control if his opponent used the rule-based control method without any reason!

All your scheming will end up benefiting Cyburus!

Liu Nian looked around. The ruined city should not be under the jurisdiction of Cyberus. So far, the only place that Cyberus can really control is the Reincarnation Ship!

He wanted to control himself, but he could only do so through the communication between the two sides on the Reincarnation Ship!

Liu Nian thought of his ranking on that list and the "unattainable" title he had received.

This is all related to the Reincarnation System!

Did the other party have been planning this since then?

Or is it because my true form has always been in that room?

But no matter what, we must sever all ties with the Reincarnation Ship as much as possible now!

"Jamir, are you alright? I need to ask you for a favor!" Liu Nian sent a message to Jamir.

"What is it?" Jamil asked.

"Kill me."
