No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

【…three, two, one.】

The light shone brightly, and inside the hall, only Mu Zhixi and the pitiful dragon girl, who was staring wide-eyed and clinging to her wrist, refused to let go.

When they regained consciousness, Ji Xinghui and the others had returned to the pure white transit station space of the eerie game.

The oppressive feeling that had been lingering in their hearts quietly dissipated, leaving everyone with a sense of being in another world.

"it's over…"

Luo Shu loosened the tattered rag doll from his arms, let out a long sigh of relief, his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. "I'm back alive."

Seeing the expressions of relief on everyone's faces, Gu Wenzhou and Cheng Xiaocheng exchanged a smile.

Actually, as long as Ran Jie was around, their worries were never about whether they could come back alive, but rather about "hearing things they shouldn't have heard".

Of course, the difficulty of this Seven Star Dungeon far exceeded their expectations. This was also the first time that Gu Wenzhou and Cheng Xiaocheng had participated in a dungeon on the Myriad Races server!

If it weren't for Miss Ran accompanying them all the way, they probably wouldn't have survived even the first bizarre attack.

Ji Xinghui didn't speak. He just stared at his hands, his mind replaying the last glimpse before the teleportation.

The feeling of being "seen"...

It was an experience unlike anything I had ever had before.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, the familiar system settlement panel slowly unfolded in front of each person.

[Instance Name: Full Moon Villa (Seven Stars Alliance)]

[Clearance Rating: SS+ (Miracle)]

[Commentary: In a game destined for certain defeat, you witnessed a glimmer of divinity and touched upon the secrets of an era. Your very survival is the greatest mockery of the rules, an unrepeatable miracle.]

[Basic Rewards: 20000 Advanced Survival Points, 20 Rare Random Attribute Points, 1 SS-Rank Random Skill Scroll]

[Special Rewards: SS-Rank Ghostly Artifact Selection Chest *1, SS-Rank Consumable 'Whispers of the Elf' *1]

Seeing this impressive list of rewards, even a top-ranked player like Ji Xinghui was moved.

2 advanced survival points? Has this incredible wealth finally come their way?!

The key point is the rare random attribute points, which can be used to draw "luck points"!

As for the SS+ rating, it is even rarer, usually meaning that the player has achieved some kind of almost impossible hidden condition in the dungeon, or... gained the favor of some supreme being in the dungeon.

The rewards this time are so generous that they could instantly elevate any ordinary guild in a six-star race to the top tier of their race.

However, this is not the end.

At the very bottom of the rewards list, there is a special entry that emits a pale golden glow.

[Special Achievement: His Gaze: Your essence is perceived by "her/him?", and your existence is acknowledged by a higher-dimensional will.]

[Gain permanent buff: Divine Favor - Basic Level.]

[Divine Favor - Beginner: Your rank has been elevated. When facing monsters/players of lower rank than you, you will experience a slight pressure effect and gain enhanced all attributes, as well as exclusive resistances and percentage-based damage reduction.]

[Comment: This was a fleeting, insignificant glance she cast unintentionally, yet it was enough to become a torch guiding you through the darkness.]

The entire settlement space fell silent as everyone stared blankly at the final achievement and buff status.

"An accidental... glimpse?" The fox girl's initial surprise faded. Her branch of the fox clan did not hold a high position among the many fox clans, and they were quite sensitive to such things.

Seeing that they were about to return to Blue Star and were now in a safe place, Gu Wenzhou decided to say a few more words, "Otherwise what? Did you expect Miss Ran to stop for you?"

These words were incredibly realistic; they and she were simply not on the same level.

Cheng Xiaocheng clenched her fists. "I don't care! Anyway, Sister Ran saved us, so she's the best! From now on, I'll be the first to object to anyone who dares to say bad things about her!"

Ji Xing looked at the panel and suddenly smiled.

"This is perhaps... the gentlest gift she could give us."

She bestowed this reward, which was enough to change their fate, upon them in an almost almsgiving manner, but then completely severed all ties with them with the phrase "a chance glance," sparing them the heavy burden of gratitude.

Divine compassion, mortal fortune.

Her compassionate glance was a gift that no mortal could ever forget.

Just then, the teleportation light shone again, sending everyone back to their respective real worlds.

On the other side, inside a pure white palace.

Mu Zhixi looked at the little dragon girl who was clinging to her arm and refusing to let go no matter what, and felt somewhat helpless.

She gently patted the dragon girl's head.

"Alright, the game is over. You should go back now."

The dragon girl raised her head, her bloodshot eyes filled with grievance, and shook her head like a rattle drum.

Mu Zhixi thought for a moment, then activated the Sacred Light from her character panel, condensing a crystal-clear candy that emitted a soft golden light.

"Good child, the Lord will protect you."

The dragon girl's eyes lit up when she saw the candy. She carefully took it, but instead of eating it, she solemnly put it into her bunny pants pocket. Then she handed the seven-colored dragon scale to Mu Zhixi again, her expression extremely serious.

This time, Mu Zhixi did not refuse. She accepted the dragon scale and, looking at this special item without any system explanation, thought to herself that she could keep it as a treasure in the future.

Even if things don't go well, we can't let that young lady down.

Of course, she didn't expect the dragon scale to have any special effects.

Having received Mu Zhixi's acceptance of her gift, the Dragon Girl seemed to have fulfilled some wish. She finally let go of her hand, glanced back at her deeply, and then her figure transformed into streaks of light, dissipating in the hall.

After seeing off her clingy colleague, Mu Zhixi finally had time to check her results.

She opened the system backend, looked at the long string of "0"s after the Faith Value column, and nodded in satisfaction.

She had only ever seen so many zeros in Chengdu in her previous life.

This trip to the Seven Star Dungeon was quite fruitful.

Although the number of viewers and exposure in the live stream were quite limited due to the fact that it was a level-based dungeon, it still made the image of the goddess "Ran" more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it can be considered as an initial display of the Holy Domain's prestige among all races.

It also laid the groundwork for the old royal court, the tribunal, and other background elements. Most importantly, it earned a considerable amount of faith points.

[Faith Points Balance: 976,500]

We're not far from unlocking the fourth vest slot.

Mu Zhixi was in a great mood, and she even started thinking about what her next disguise should be like.

The goddess is already chosen, embodying divine compassion and aloof detachment. The elven princess, Irene, is the type who is proud, lively, and occasionally a little mischievous.

The villainous Fallen Bishop Anos is a consumable, and the Fallen Sword Immortal is not yet fully developed.

Both the Royal Court and the Inquisition have made an appearance this time, so perhaps... we should choose one of these two forces?

A powerful and decisive judge, or perhaps a princess created out of thin air? After all, an alias can be controlled not only by herself but also by the system, and it would be absolutely loyal to her.

They all seem interesting.

Just as Mu Zhixi was immersed in the joy of creating her character, the results panel appeared in front of her.

But her interface is completely different from the players'.

[Instance World: Villa on the Night of the Full Moon]

[Identity: Special Original NPC - Eye of the Lord, Unique and Noble Holy Domain Lord]

[Task Completion/Overall Rating: ???]

[Comment: You are the end of the rules, the source of history. We have no right to speculate on your will, much less to defile you with anything so base.]

Congratulations on obtaining a special item: The Referee's Gift - Primordial Dragon Scale (Grade ???)

Mu Zhixi looked at the last line and raised an eyebrow.

Ancestral dragon scales? It seems that my little colleague has quite a background.

She carefully put away the dragon scales, glanced at her faith value which had already surpassed one million, and opened the Creator God panel without hesitation.

Looking at the extra blank card slot, Mu Zhixi smiled. Well then, it's time to welcome the fourth 'colleague' to the company.

Of course, striking while the iron is hot and moving on to the next dungeon is also a good option. According to the system's introduction earlier, there are a total of three placement matches!

If she gets a perfect score in all three matches, will her Ancient God start with a 9-star race, or even a "starry sky" race?

Mu Zhixi thought to herself, she had spent so much time designing the panel, it wasn't going to just sit there collecting dust, it would be such a waste not to scare these players!
