Poverty makes me capable of anything.

His voice trembled as he spoke, and his body shook involuntarily.

This is a prophecy that has been passed down for thousands of years!

This was once the spiritual anchor of the Crimson Demon Clan!

Its significance cannot be explained in just a few words.

I want to see the true face of the ancestor!

This is the scholar's greatest wish at this moment.

An Ran shook her head: "Don't think too much about it. The True Ancestor you're talking about isn't in its complete form yet, and there's nothing to see here."

The scholar's brilliance remains unwavering.

"Moreover, how should I put it, you'd better leave this planet as soon as possible. Like I said before, it won't be long before this place becomes a place of trouble."

"Leave here?" the scholar exclaimed in surprise.

"If you are not afraid of your clan being wiped out, you may stay."

The scholar's expression darkened slightly: "But where can we go if we leave here?"

"Once you leave this galaxy, there are so many places you can go. This world is much bigger than you can imagine."

The scholar shook his head: "Even if I agree, others won't."

"Then all we need to do is prove to them that they will die if they don't leave."

"How do you prove this?" the scholar asked, taken aback.

They only have one life, and unlike Zhou Jieyu, they cannot be resurrected.

"It's not a difficult task, but I'll need your cooperation. Before that, I'll deal with that calamity dragon."

Defeating the calamity dragon, and incidentally spreading the news of this place.

“Alright, I’ll give it a try, but I can’t abandon the others if they disagree,” the scholar said.

"I believe you can do it."

After watching the scholars leave, An Ran called Zhou Jieyu and Lin Yumo over and gave them a task.

"Find a way to leak the information that the Crimson King is here."

"what?"

Zhou Jieyu was startled.

Although she's a bit slow and naive, she's not really brainless.

Why leak the information?

Wouldn't it be better to have exclusive access to this place?

Lin Yumo nodded vigorously in agreement.

The more games you play, the more you realize just how great the benefits of having an entire mission to yourself really are.

"Because by doing so, we can gain more benefits."

An Ran gave a mysterious smile.

"?"

Zhou Jieyu was completely confused.

But since An Ran had already said that, she had no choice but to obey the task.

The game will start on February 13st.

An explosive message suddenly appeared on the main forum.

According to a tip from player [Fields], he accidentally discovered the starry sky shown on the login screen during his exploration.

The key is how to safely get through the dust storm outside. Superior driving skills alone aren't enough; you also need some luck. I was incredibly lucky and made it through the dust storm, but I collapsed on the main quest's target planet, killed by a very powerful black dragon.

That's what Fields said.

At the end of the post, he attached a screenshot of his game map.

In a certain part of the starry sky, the markers for the main quest are clearly visible.

Prerequisite for triggering the quest: Waiting for the Red Lotus King to revive.

Leading the charge: [It's all done]

Zhou Jieyu: [Thank you, brother]

After a while, Zhou Jieyu sent another message.

[By the way, bro, why did Anran leak this information? I really don't understand. I asked Anran, but she wouldn't tell me. I just think she looks so confident when she smiles.]

Leading the charge: [As a shrewd and calculating person...]

Where does An Ran look old?

cough cough...

Leading the charge: [As a former main storyline boss, An Ran must have had her own reasons for doing this.]

Isn't that obvious?

Zhou Jieyu pursed her lips.

I realized I had asked a completely pointless question.

Leading the charge, they quickly provided further explanation.

[It's all a result of weighing the pros and cons. An Ran chose to leak the information either because she couldn't deal with the Red Lotus King alone, or because it would allow her to gain more benefits. I'm not by An Ran's side, so I can't say for sure what's going on. You can try observing it yourself.]

Okay.

Zhou Jieyu adopted the suggestion to take the lead in charging forward.

She became An Ran's loyal follower, going wherever An Ran went.

She was initially worried that An Ran would kick her out, but An Ran didn't.

"Probably because of the high favorability rating, hehehe..."

Zhou Jieyu suddenly felt that she was a visionary genius.

Actually...

An Ran secretly glanced at Zhou Jieyu.

By keeping this incredibly lucky person by your side, your already good fortune might become even better.

Zhou Jieyu had no idea that she was being used as a tool.

……

It's true!

Six hours after the post was published, players arrived near the dust storm.

However, this group of players had very little luck; their spaceship exploded halfway through the flight.

It's only because the guild behind them is very wealthy that the spaceship explosion would have bankrupted them.

This incident also made many players realize that the process of clearing the main storyline is not something they can interfere with.

[We can only leave it to those Star-Slayer level NPCs.]

A player notified Latina.

Some players also notified Bridges.

In just two days, all the NPCs who had come specifically for the prophecy knew the location of the Crimson King.

The winds of change are blowing.

"Damn it, we absolutely can't let them get ahead of us."

"It must be destroyed before the Crimson Lotus King awakens."

After their initial surprise, the NPCs all rushed towards An Ran's location.

"They should be able to get here in about three more days."

Emerging from underground.

Anran looked up at the sky.

It must be said that the calamity dragon was very greedy.

Despite being beaten into a sorry state by the guardians, it still lingered in the clouds, unwilling to leave, hoping to take advantage of any loopholes.

"Then goodbye!"

Even if the Calamity Dragon wanted to leave at this point, it would be too late.

The guardians soared into the clouds.

This battle was being watched closely by countless members of the Crimson Demon Clan.

Under the full force of the Guardian's attack, the Calamity Dragon, which wields the power of corruption, gains no advantage whatsoever.

It couldn't even get close.

The Calamity Dragon only touched the Guardian's body for the first time when the Guardian drew the knight's lance from its back and approached.

But the sharp lance had already pierced the wing of the Calamity Dragon.

Dark brown blood mixed with acidic rainwater and spilled onto the ground.

The Crimson Demon Clan members were deeply moved.

The monster that had plagued their race for thousands of years was about to perish. If they had a culture of playing musical instruments and singing, the ground would probably be covered with bright red lanterns by now.

Stab it!

After a fierce battle, the lance pierced the heart of the Calamity Dragon, and the gathered energy exploded, causing the Calamity Dragon's chest cavity to vanish into thin air.

It clung to life and struggled in the air for several minutes before finally crashing to the ground in despair.

The acid rain stopped.
