Poverty makes me capable of anything.

That was his past, lost in the starry night.

Four.

Enron has four such powerful things.

Whichever side she joins, it will be enough to turn the tide of the battle.

Fortunately, An Ran was on their side at this moment, and Chik breathed a sigh of relief.

The battle lasted for nearly a week. Finally, Chick led a group of men to break through the last stronghold that Messer had held. After a fierce battle, Messer knelt on one knee, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and peacefully closed his eyes.

He lost.

The only good news is that the Giant Spirits have finally ended their turmoil.

I just don't know how many years it will take to restore its former glory.

“Let’s do it,” Meisel said.

Chick stood there stunned for a long time.

Finally, he raised the sword and pierced through Messer's martial arts dantian with a single strike.

Already riddled with wounds, Meisel died on the spot.

The next step is the cleanup work.

At least on the surface, everything seemed peaceful. The only trouble was that some of the escaped mercenaries attacked several planets, causing considerable bloodshed.

These accounts will have to be settled later.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Anran found a safe place and released the Crimson Lotus King.

“Go ahead,” An Ran said. “I also have to thank you for protecting me all this time.”

The King of Crimson Lotus looked ashamed: "I didn't do anything."

"Having you here is like having insurance."

The Crimson Lotus King said, "Once I find the ruins of the Holy City and fuse with the flames of evolution, I will return to you, my master. This grand plan requires your strength."

An Ran nodded: "I understand, you can go now."

The King of Crimson Lotus fluttered its wings and reluctantly departed.

It has the ability to travel through the stars, so there's absolutely no need to worry. If it dies on the way, you can only say it's unlucky.

To An Ran's surprise, just as she was hesitating about how to use the power of the Giant Spirit Clan to nurture An Qianqian, a preview of version 3.2 suddenly appeared on the official website of Starry Night.

The new version, 3.2 [The Silver Chain of Judgment], will be officially updated in five days.

Five days, which translates to fifty days of game time, is enough time for the Strangers' Gladiator Tournament to be completed.

However, An Ran's focus was not on this, and she did not immediately check the player discussions on the forum.

Anran wondered why the update preview for the new version would be released at this time.

It happened exactly half an hour after she released the Crimson Lotus King.

Not a single point off.

Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

Could it be that the key to launching version 3.2 lies in the Crimson King setting out to find the ruins of the Holy City?

Is the new version delayed because she refuses to let the Crimson King go?

Upon closer reflection, it does seem to make a lot of sense.

Version 3.1's theme is "The Boundary Between Crimson and New Moon," which focuses on the Thousand Wheel Bay War and aims to bring the two major factions into the players' view.

But the Thousand Wheel Bay War ended several months ago, and there has been no news of a new version.

"Hmm... If that's the case, if I had killed the Crimson King with the black stick back then, wouldn't the new version have been canceled?"

An Ran then thought, "If I go and capture the Crimson Lotus King now, how will I continue writing the new version of the story?"

"..."

Anran remembered that the game's promotional materials stated that the game's plot was calculated by that mysterious mainframe, and the writers and planners were only responsible for basic settings and patching.

Does the game company know that she has a problem?

Following this line of thought, I feel there's a huge problem.

An Ran silently shook her head.

Since I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it for now.

If it were over, she would be dead by now.

Moreover, even if an NPC is found to be "going berserk," the game company probably wouldn't dare to nerf her due to the pressure from players these days.

Ultimately, the goal of making games is to make money.

Putting those thoughts aside, Anran felt peaceful and happy again.

Anran found Chick first.

Chick's expression was strange. You could say he was happy, but you could also say he was depressed.

An Ran didn't care about all that: "Want to regain your former glory?"

"Huh?" Chick was dumbfounded. What kind of question was that?

“I mean…” An Ran changed her words, realizing there was something wrong with that sentence, “Do you want to regain your former glory? Do you want to experience what it feels like to be protected by a big shot? Do you want…”

"Nonsense, of course I want to."

"I have a big treasure here."

"..."

Who is she? A female hooligan?

"If you train her well, you might be able to reclaim your homeland one day with her help."

Chick asked, "To put it bluntly."

An Ran nodded: "Then I'll be direct. Xavier's daughter is in my hands. As long as you're willing to nurture her properly, you'll have a chance to become a Star Domain Ruler."

"What did you say?"

Anran ignored Chick's shock: "She doesn't like you, but she doesn't dislike you either. How should I put it, because she was abandoned by her father when she was young, she has no feelings for Xavier. But if you are willing to do your best to raise her, there will be many benefits."

"..."

“A rising star who could potentially become the ruler of the star field, and…” Anran opened her arms, “my friendship!”

confidence.

Chick thought the latter statement was more reliable.

Although he was occasionally annoyed by An Ran, he had to admit that An Ran was very strong, so strong that he could only avoid her sharp edge.

Moreover, she is very likely from Silent City.

Chick fell into deep thought.

He suddenly asked, "Why did you choose our branch that seeks to return to the past? Shouldn't you have chosen the branch that is in disarray?"

"It makes no difference to me which side I choose."

Chick did not doubt Anran's words.

Anran even had the opportunity to wipe them all out.

She only needs to use her repeated side-stepping technique in the Skyhold Wars to stir up trouble.

Chick said, "This isn't something I can decide on my own; I need to discuss it with other people."

"Okay, then you go and discuss it. Contact me when you have a conclusion."

After saying that, An Ran left.

Cheek then began to greet the others.

This has profound significance for the Giant Spirit Clan and must be carefully considered.

……

At this time, the Crimson Lotus King, who had been away from Anran for some time, also arrived near the ruins of the Holy City, guided by his memories.

It's time to get creative.

Chapter 64 Chain of Judgment

In a seemingly ordinary starry sky, the Crimson King, who looked like a fire demon, stopped in his tracks.

He landed on a small, floating pebble and began to carefully observe his surroundings.

According to the instructions in its memory, when the movement of these celestial bodies shows a certain pattern, it can find the path to the small world where the Holy City ruins are located.

The King of Crimson Lotus waited here for more than a week before finally finding an opportunity to open the door.

A crimson light flashed in his eyes, a light that guided him on his path.

The next moment, the Crimson Lotus King flapped its wings and soared into the starry sky, its figure quickly disappearing from sight.

Passing through the gap, the Crimson King arrived in a void world filled with floating broken buildings.

It has already sensed the flames of evolution calling to it.

However, the Crimson Lotus King had only been flying forward for a short while when it was stopped.

Before them stood two enormous statues, their bodies bulky and much larger than the Crimson Lotus King. Their mere presence exerted immense pressure on the Crimson Lotus King.

Millions of years have passed, yet the things inside are still alive.

The Crimson King's inner self is far from as calm as he appears on the outside.

If these two statues don't recognize it and gang up on it, it will probably suffer the same fate as Ernest.

But in any case, for that grand plan, it must obtain the flame of evolution.

Otherwise, it will take an extremely long time to advance to become a star field ruler.
