"I can tell you a secret. I'll send you to retrieve something. Once you have it, you'll be able to move freely throughout the Demon Realm."

Xu Ze frowned slightly; he knew there was more to the other person's words than met the eye.

"What are the conditions?"

Su Yunshang smiled; she enjoyed dealing with intelligent people.

"The conditions are very simple."

She raised her hand and pointed to Mu Yan and Lin Yueyan on the screen.

"You, including those two, owe me a favor."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yan's expression changed.

She never liked owing favors to others; these things are complicated and in the end, it's impossible to tell who owes whom.

What do you want to do?

The Empress Dowager's divine projection asked warily.

"Don't be so quick to refuse," Su Yunshang interrupted her. "I won't accept this favor right away. Once you've left the Demon Realm and are capable of standing up to the Heavenly Court, I'll naturally ask for it back."

She looked at Xu Ze, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

“Xu Ze, I am not your enemy, I never have been.”

Xu Ze was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Okay, I promise you."

"But you have to tell me first, why are you helping me?"

Su Yunshang did not answer directly.

She simply looked at the two people on the screen, at the scene of that desolate demon realm, a trace of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

“Because,” she whispered, “I also want to live.”

alive?

These two words silenced everyone present.

Xu Ze looked at Su Yunshang, at this woman who had always been mysterious and unpredictable, and suddenly understood something.

Although she was not a native of that world.

But it seems that Su Yunshang has already made that place her home. Her demands are never high; she just doesn't want to be killed for no reason or lose her freedom.

This is not something she should have to endure.

"Okay." Xu Ze nodded. "I believe you."

Su Yunshang suddenly smiled, but the smile was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

But there was a hint of relief in that smile.

"If you're in a hurry, you'd better remember what I'm about to say."

So she began to recount the situation in the desolate demon realm.

Terrain, monsters, secret realms, things to be careful of...

She explained it in great detail, leaving out every single detail.

Xu Ze listened attentively and silently memorized everything.

With this crucial intelligence, the fourth instance no longer required the same aimless wandering as the first three; it was like opening up a completely transparent world.

Time passed by, second by second.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yunshang finally finished speaking.

"That's all," she said. "The rest you'll have to rely on yourself."

Xu Ze nodded.

Thank you.

Su Yunshang waved her hand and turned to leave.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and glanced back at the two people on the screen.

“By the way,” she said, “you don’t have much time left.”

"What do you mean?" Lin Yueyan and Mu Yan exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly.

“The Heavenly Court must have already noticed the anomaly,” Su Yunshang said. “They have a pair of ‘eyes’ that can see into the lower realms and a pair of ‘ears’ that can hear the voices of all things. Even if you use the power of spiritual treasures, it will be difficult to escape their surveillance.”

"Therefore, never underestimate your opponent."

After saying that, she pushed open the door and went out.

In the office, only Xu Ze and the two people on the screen remained.

Lin Yueyan took a deep breath and looked at Xu Ze.

"Senior brother, most of your 'magic weapons' have been recovered. Be sure not to forget to use them."

Xu Ze nodded.

"I know."

Mu Yan looked at him, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Xu Ze, I'll be waiting for you."

Xu Ze looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Ah."

The image began to distort and became increasingly blurry.

"Time's up," Lin Yueyan said urgently. "Remember..."

Before the words were finished, the screen disappeared completely.

The screen returned to normal, leaving only Li Wenxiu's game character standing alone in the main hall of Canghai Academy.

Xu Ze stared at the screen, remaining motionless for a long time.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and stood up.

A groan came from behind.

"Well……"

Li Wenxiu slowly opened his eyes, looking around blankly.

"What...what happened to me?"

Cheng Hao and Jin Yu quickly surrounded them.

"Third brother! You're awake!"

"You scared us to death! Do you know how long you slept?!"

Li Wenxiu rubbed his temples, looking puzzled.

"It seems I had a very long dream..."

Xu Ze looked at him without saying a word.

But he knew it wasn't a dream.

Just then.

The office door was pushed open.

An employee rushed in.

"Mr. Xu! Something terrible has happened!"

Xu Ze frowned slightly.

"what's up?"

"The server...the server is about to crash!"

The employees were breathless.

"The number of online users of 'Xuanling Sect' has reached a new high! It has exceeded 30 million! The server load has reached its limit, and it may crash at any time if this continues!"

Xu Ze was stunned.

Thirty million?

He remembered that yesterday's figure was 15 million.

How did it double overnight?

Cheng Hao leaned closer and whispered:

"Brother Xu, it seems someone has discovered a brand new 'continent.' Someone posted a guide on the forum saying there are hidden quests there, and as a result, everyone has rushed to explore it..."

Xu Ze took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.

A completely new continent?

Is this yet another crucial clue?

He looked out the window, at the azure sky.

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

But he couldn't feel any better.

He hasn't stopped playing since he entered this game instance.

It was as if something was pushing me forward.

……

evening.

Inside the villa.

When Xu Ze opened the door, the living room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
