The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

She raised [Frost Annihilation] and placed her other hand against Ye Chen's chest.

"Master, let's go!"

The sword slashed at the descending bone fist.

Jiang Liyu exerted her strength at the same time, trying to push Ye Chen out of the Corpse Tiger leader's attack range.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of all the nearby players changed drastically.

"not good!"

"Quickly, go save Elder Ye and Sword Immortal Jiang!"

"Attack together!"

The warriors turned around, the mage raised his staff, and the assassin emerged from the shadows.

A barrage of attacks simultaneously rained down on the Corpse Tiger leader.

Fireballs, ice shards, lightning, wind blades, and dozens of deadly attacks condensed from battle weapons all crashed into the giant white bone fist.

"Click—"

The bone fist fell.

This sound was not the shattering of [Frost Extinction].

Jiang Liyu's arm bent first.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled cracking sound came from his chest as if bones were breaking.

Her body was pressed down by the immense force, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but her legs were still braced against Ye Chen.

"Master, let's go!"

Jiang Liyu gritted her teeth and pushed Ye Chen again.

But Ye Chen didn't budge.

His shadow had blended into the surrounding darkness.

Countless black hands reached out from the ground, gripped his limbs, and held him firmly in place.

"Master..."

The hope in Jiang Liyu's eyes completely faded.

【Frost Extinction】 let out a mournful cry.

The icy blue sword light shattered.

With its skeletal fist no longer obstructed, it pressed down once more.

"It's over... it's over..."

"What on earth is going on?!"

The players are still desperately rushing forward.

They could see Jiang Liyu lose her balance and fall onto Ye Chen.

You can also see the giant white bone fist pressing down on the two figures.

The next moment, a line of scarlet notifications simultaneously appeared in the vision of all the players who would later become the top accounts.

[Warning: Extraterrestrial consciousness is being forcibly expelled.]

[Time remaining: 1 seconds.]

"boom--"

The giant white bone fist slammed down.

Smoke and dust swept across the entire valley.

"Clatter—"

"Clatter—"

One second the soldiers were still in a charging posture, and the next second they lost all their strength and fell one after another during the charge.

The fireballs, ice spikes, and lightning bolts that the mages had released dissipated in mid-air before they could even touch the Corpse Tiger leader.

Not just them.

The tank, the support, and the assassin lurking in the shadows, ready to sacrifice themselves, all lost consciousness.

Those players whose accounts were taken over by viewers three thousand years later all collapsed at the same moment.

The valley quickly quieted down.

The only one who remains lucid is Mengzhu, who belongs to this era.

She gripped the heavy sword, her body stiff as she stared at everything before her.

"This...this..."

Mengzhu's fingers had lost all feeling, and her legs were starting to go weak.

What was happening before her eyes was completely beyond her understanding of "Myriad Realms".

Why did thousands of players who were fighting side by side just moments ago suddenly fall together?

What is that shadow that devoured Master Xiaoyu?

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Little fish..."

Mengzhu staggered back a step.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Clang—"

The greatsword slipped from her hand and crashed to the ground.

"No...no no no—"

Mengzhu turned to run away.

But as soon as she took a step, everything that had happened yesterday came flooding back into her mind.

The ant swarm is approaching.

Jiang Liyu is trapped.

Despite her severe injuries, she left the group and fled to the safety zone alone.

Immediately afterwards, another scene appeared.

Before entering the game.

The rooftop at sunset.

She patted her chest and assured Jiang Liyu that she would definitely protect her.

Two images collided in my mind.

Mengzhu stopped in her tracks.

Her shoulders heaved violently, and tears welled up in her eyes.

next moment,

"Aaaaaahh ...

She let out a roar, turned around abruptly, and grabbed the heavy sword from the ground.

This time, she did not run away.

Dragging her heavy sword, Mengzhu charged towards the Corpse Tiger leader like a madman.

"Give me back my friend!!!"

"Destroy".

Just before she plunged into the smoke and dust, a deep male voice came from under the Corpse Tiger leader's fist.

Mengzhu suddenly stopped walking.

A dark purple light shone beneath the giant skeletal fist.

The light had no temperature, yet it dyed the entire valley a deep purple.

The Corpse Tiger leader's fist froze in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the scene before Mengzhu's eyes completely disappeared.

Darkness pressed in from all sides.

Her consciousness was drawn into it.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already standing in front of the city gate of the first safe zone.

The area behind him was filled with players.

Thousands of people lay sprawled on the ground, all unconscious.

Mengzhu turned her head around blankly.

Wasn't that valley supposed to prevent all teleportation?

Why are they here?

And they've all come back?

"Where's the little fish?"

She turned around abruptly.

Outside the city gate, a dark purple light rose.

A hemispherical purple dome covered the distant land.

Mengzhu could not see its boundaries.

All she knew was that the outermost part of that cover was less than two meters away from her.

She reached out her hand, her fingers stopping just outside the purple light.

next moment.

"boom!!!"

The dark purple barrier shattered with a deafening roar.

A dazzling beam of light pierced the sky.

The mountains, forests, rocks, monsters, and land within the barrier were all annihilated in the light.

There were no explosion debris.

There were no broken bones.

Everything within the area is being directly dissolved.

"Snap—"

The weakened gale swept across the city gates.

Players lying outside the city were blown away one after another, crashing into the city wall behind them.

Mengzhu hurriedly plunged the heavy sword into the ground and gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, thus preventing herself from being blown away by the gale.

She looked up against the wind pressure, staring in horror at the dark purple pillar of light that pierced through the sky.

The brain is no longer able to process the information at hand.

"this……"

"What on earth is going on...!!!"

[Rainy Pavilion]: "Holy crap! Brothers, I'm back! Can anyone tell me what happened?!"

【Li-Xing】: "Waaaaah... My beautiful character that I painstakingly created, how could it be taken offline?!"

[President of the Monster Girl Protection Association]: "Holy crap! This scene! Could it be that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor has made his move?!"

[Yun Chengmo]: "Bullshit, the Heavenly Emperor's entrance effects were just for show, all that golden light!"

"This darkness doesn't resemble that of the Heavenly Emperor."

[Youwen Ziyouwo]: "What's going on?! Host! Come out and explain!"

"Why is everyone offline?! Is the game being patched?"

[Gucheng Winter Rain]: "I have a guess, but I don't know if I should say it."

[With words, I speak]: "Speak! Speak!"

【Winter Rain in the Ancient City】: "Do you think... is it possible that Ancestor Ye Chen is using someone else's account?"

"???"

"???"

"???"

A colon flew up in the live stream chat.

[Winter Rain in the Ancient City]: "I was just saying maybe..."

"Think about it... Now that we know that Ancestor Ye Chen and Sword Immortal Jiang both exist in this world!"

"Their first life was spent in that game, three thousand years ago!"

"But... their second life was five thousand years ago!"

"Didn't Jiang Jianxian's second incarnation end up being killed by Old Ancestor Ye?!"

"She thus returned to the time of her first life, which is two thousand years later relative to her second life!"

"Is that right?"

"So... do you think there's a possibility... that..."

"Ancestor Ye Chen has lived through his second incarnation, two thousand years later?"

"Now... the one causing this commotion is... his second life, using the same name as his first life?"

[Rainy Pavilion]: "...You're a fucking genius!"

【有文自有我】: "Indeed, this logical thinking is no less than that of the missing anchor and appointed class representative, 【小道成林】."

【Winter Rain in the Ancient City】: "Hehe... You flatter me."

【Autumn's Clapping】: "Stop talking, look! Isn't there a person floating in mid-air in the picture?!"

All the audience's attention instantly returned to the projected image.

Within the soaring dark purple beam of light, a figure was suspended in mid-air.

His robes fluttered wildly in the turbulent energy currents, while the surrounding darkness bowed down at his feet.

And in his arms, he was holding another person.

The man had long, icy blue hair that hung down, and his right arm was limply draped over his side.

It was Jiang Liyu.
