"Is it ugly? Can't you understand it? That's right, because there used to be only 8 masks here! You could tell at a glance who had collected more wishes, who had collected less wishes, and who had no wishes at all."

"But how many masks are there now? Have you counted them? 10 ushers... If this were back in the day, the Demon Lord of the Outer Realm would have been scared away long ago."

Qiong nodded slightly. "Yes, you're right, but even if there are only eight masks here, it doesn't change the fact that you're useless. You're no different from a spectator as a referee; you can only watch, can't you?"

Fei Ying: ......

"I have seen war games that last for more than a hundred years, in which the envoys carved up territories and became kings, using the power of masks to divide and fight against each other."

"I have also presided over a competition where the messengers appeared to compete, summoning the power of the star gods, in an attempt to kill all the opponents in a single day in an escape game."

At first glance, Qiong thought it sounded sophisticated, but upon closer listening, she realized it was essentially saying nothing at all. "So, we can only watch anyway?"

"Please let me finish, okay? If the Illusionary Moon Game is interrupted, risking disruption, I will use the authority granted by 'Pleasure' and 'Abundance' to measure, judge, and punish the violator."

Qiong Yi thought, "Can the combination of joy and abundance be considered a punishment?"

An image immediately flashed in his mind: Fei Ying whipping the visitor with a tree branch, the visitor laughing as he was being whipped.

"Oh... so your punishment is to whip the person with a stick, making them laugh nonstop while grass grows on their head?"

Just imagining that scene made Fei Ying unable to hold back her laughter. "You 'Atopia' swear word! Can't you at least let me finish speaking before you give your opinion? Can't you learn from the lady next to you who's a remembrancer?'"

Xi Lian remained calm, waiting for the moment when Fei Ying would break down under Qiong's influence. "Actually, I was just waiting for you to lose your temper, and then I would use memory techniques to force you to calm down."

"It's not you guys... oh my... can't you guys be a little less hostile? On this joyful planet, can't there be a little more sincerity and love?"

"Where is sincerity and love in this land? Isn't it all just endless free-for-all? You expect a bunch of people who just follow trends online every day to find love and sincerity? When I see these masks—crows, owls, bats, vampires, ghosts, demons, and that bunch of raccoons of all shapes and sizes..."

Qiong sighed deeply, "I knew it. In that Eternal Night Empire that doesn't belong to me, countless more citizens have come to yearn for darkness."

"I have another question: Can the Phantom Moon be destroyed? If we dismantle it, everything will end, right? Then you won't have to stay with this broken game anymore."

Upon hearing this, Fei Ying's expression immediately turned three degrees colder. "The Illusion Moon Game has only one taboo, and the only rule I adhere to is this: the game must continue, as constant as the heavens and as rising as the moon, without end. Those who violate this law shall be banished, beheaded, and suffer endless torment."

It's not that games need visitors, but that pleasure needs games.

Upon hearing these rules, what difference was there between them and having no rules at all? "Then the question is, with so many visitors, how will this game end?"

Fei Ying gently shook her head. With so many visitors, she couldn't stop them even if she hacked until her ruler was smoking. "I don't know. This is the first time this has happened in the Illusion Moon Game. It's possible that the most terrifying thing suppressed under the Illusion Moon Game is about to—revive."

Xi Lian: ?

Qiong: ?

"The most terrifying thing?"

"What up? No, how many bosses are you hiding here? And how come there are hidden characters too?"

"The master of desires in the world, the opposite of the master of pleasure—gluttony."

Qiong was alarmed by the prefix, but immediately understood when she heard the last two words. It turned out the most terrifying thing referred to the old wandering swordsman sleeping in the freezer—that was indeed a bit scary.

"Huh? Oh, so that's it. I thought it was a new entry in the encyclopedia. Never mind, I've already opened this one, it's not interesting. Can you give me something more awesome?"

Fei Ying was completely bewildered upon hearing this. She had already adopted such a serious and earnest expression, yet this Demon God of Eternal Night was telling her to find someone even more powerful.

"You've already driven that? Wait, what do you mean by 'change to an even more awesome one'?"

"Drip-drip-"

Qiong gestured for Fei Ying to shut up, then glanced at her phone screen and saw that it was Bai E calling. "Bai E? Isn't this my beloved Black Flame Monarch?"

He immediately adopted a formal tone: "Black Flame Monarch, what's wrong?"

Bai E didn't react for a moment. After a 0.5-second daze, he remembered that Qiong's title was Eternal Night Demon God. "Black Flame... uh, Eternal Night Demon God. There are some abnormal situations in Haiyuan City. There's a strange big guy in the sea."

"How big is it?"

"It's about... the size of ten Sky Titans."

"Ten Sky Titans? Still in the sea? Could this be the legendary Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"

Bai E: ?

He was bewildered by Qiong's encrypted call. "Partner, this Demon Whale King, its power is very similar to that monster in that blood-red world, it has a certain allure. It used this to devour many schools of fish."

"No way? There are experts here? How about turning this Two-Phase Paradise into an Aha monster spawner? It ate the fish, so what am I supposed to eat? I was planning to go to the street across from the entertainment plaza for seafood hot pot later."

Qiong suddenly remembered his and Bai E's initial plan to fall to the moon and quickly reminded him:

"By the way, let's abandon the plan to shoot down the Phantom Moon for now. If that thing is shot down, a pink-haired rabbit will come and whip you with a tree branch."

Bai E found the idea quite intriguing. A pink rabbit with a tree branch? "A pink rabbit? Is it going to be our enemy? Partner, didn't you say that dismantling that unreasonable moon would end everything? Is that rabbit very strong? Is it part of the Illusion Moon's security mechanism?"

"Let's leave it for now. It seems that the Illusion Moon is used to seal monsters. Besides, I've tried it, and it seems to have an ethereal quality, so I can't hit it."

"Just how many sealed monsters are there in this place?" Bai E asked before hanging up the phone.

Fei Ying felt it was getting dark. This Eternal Night Demon God was already way overpowered. The Black Flame Monarch called this Eternal Night Demon God his partner, so she guessed that the two of them were probably equally overpowered.

"You know that Black Flame Monarch?"

"Is this strange? Is it strange that the Demon God of Eternal Night and the Lord of Black Flame know each other?"

"Um...so what do you plan to do with that minute?"

Qiong felt that this referee was hopeless. He didn't know anything all day long. The game had already been updated to permanent Star Gods and a free-for-all with millions of visitors, but he was still stuck on one-minute Star Gods. "One minute? Isn't it supposed to become a permanent Pleasure Star God?"

Fei Ying: ?

"what?!"

Chapter 764 Fei Ying: The Second Phase Paradise and the referees don't matter anymore.

"What are you laughing at? What exactly is your job as referee? Didn't you know the game rules have been changed?"

Fei Ying was about to explode. Something even more terrifying than ten million visitors had happened: the eternal Pleasure Star God. She began to wonder if Aha was about to die of illness.

"How would I know? Is He going to die? I knew this game was going to be crazy. This guy is either going to die or he's definitely planning something crazy."

"And then there's that Dragon Emperor in the sky who killed the Immortal Ship General and took a hit from 'Hunting' arrow! My goodness! Could this paradise get any more chaotic?"

"Sure, I can launch a Bloodbath against the Black Flame Monarch. I expect the aftershocks of the battle to completely evaporate the ocean of the Two-Phase Paradise within two minutes and drag out that monster whose nature I don't know."

"Then, as the referee, you'll have a mid-game boss to fight."

Qiong Na Yasashi's voice told of a terrible plan, and Fei Ying looked as if she had witnessed some great horror.

"Two minutes? You can evaporate the ocean of the Two-Phase Paradise? What's your purpose in participating in this game? Are you sent by the Demon Lord of the Outer Realm to cause trouble?"

"I don't know. Aha sent me a mask, so I came. I was planning to play around with the 1-minute Star God, but then it became the permanent Pleasure Star God. I felt like it was a trap, so I decided to just watch."

Qiong exhaled a breath of stale air and continued, "I think your focus should be on that unknown creature in the sea. In my experience, creatures that emerge from the sea are usually quite monstrous, proficient in everything from mimicry and evolution to devouring."

(Feiying: Gaia! It's me, Chovy! Aha, what are you doing? If you're looking for someone, find someone decent! What kind of trash did you find?! Why did you bring two extraterrestrial demon lords here?!)

"Partner, you mean... that terrifying Kadir?"

"Yes, after all, my sister didn't say a word last night. I suspect she went to do some biological experiments again, and... she still has data on the Gluttonous Ancient Beast. I suspect she threw the failed products of her experiments back into the sea, since her habit of littering is hard to break."

Xi Lian shook her head and said, "But, partner, your sister doesn't have time, does she?"

Qiong smiled calmly, "Time? I'm asking you, how long was I in a daze after I finished eating those dishes? How could she have been unconscious from noon until the next morning? And don't you think it's a coincidence that Bai E discovered that monster at that time?"

Xi Lian looked shocked. "No way?"

Fei Ying: Please enter text.

"May I ask who the Demon God's sister is? Could she also be an Attendant?" Fei Ying was furious. Where did the data on the Gluttonous Ancient Beast come from? And what kind of weird habit is it to throw the products of failed experiments into the sea?

"Wow, she even answered first. She does have a mask. But it's not a big problem. You don't have the Emperor's Scepter here, so that monster can't find a target to bind to."

Fei Ying now thinks Aha Shen is just crazy, he's practically asking the amusement park to die already, he didn't even do any background checks before inviting people. If he can invite such dangerous individuals to the amusement park, Aha Shen is finished.

"And what is your sister's solfège name?"

Qiong turned his head to the side, looking at the ground at a 24-degree angle. "Listen up, you country bumpkin from the backyard of the apothecary, my sister's title is—Epic King—Shining Sword Master—Divine Firmament Sword Immortal who can launch 200 sneak attacks per second!"

Fei Ying: ?

She frowned, feeling that Erxiang Paradise was about to turn into a paradise for gods and immortals. "What? Divine Firmament Sword Immortal? Can't your organization come up with a normal name?"

Suddenly, she remembered that the Heavenly Azure Dragon also seemed to have this naming style. "Wait, could the Heavenly Azure Dragon be in cahoots with you guys?"

Speaking of the Azure Dragon, Qiong suddenly realized that Dan Heng's expertise was relevant, so why did he and Bai E bother to evaporate the ocean? "Oh, that reminds me. Why not just have Dan Heng pull that BYD monster out of the sea? We almost had to repeat the same mistake."

"That Heavenly Azure Dragon is one of yours? No... you..."

Good news: Two-Phase Paradise no longer needs to endure the scorching heat and boiling water.

Bad news: The only normal top three visitors is also a demon pill, and there is another divine visitor called Shenxiao Sword Immortal who is researching gluttony.

“I surrender. If I am guilty, let the Lord of Longevity take my life back. Instead of leaving me in this hell to watch you monsters and demons fight against ten million envoys.”

So far, none of the four visitors have violated any rules, but she still feels that something is amiss.

She began to carefully recall the names of the four visitors, and then she noticed a terrible fact: the one called the Immortal Dragon Emperor also used this naming format.

"The Eternal Night Demon God, the Black Flame Monarch, the Azure Dragon God, the Divine Firmament Sword Immortal... and that Immortal Dragon Emperor. This seems a bit too much of a coincidence... You'd better not tell me that the Dragon Emperor is also one of yours."

"That's not it."

"Thank goodness...it seems he's the standard raid boss template."

“We are his people.”

(Fei-young: I'm already crying.)

"Huh!? What the hell... Why did he kill the hunting general? Why did he kill a Celestial Ship General in the Two Phases Paradise? And how did he manage to withstand a Star God's attack? If he already has that ability, what is he even doing here?"

Seeing Fei Ying's expression, Qiong seemed to enjoy stirring things up, "It's probably the general's own request. As for why he came? Aha invited him, and Aha sent out invitations to the whole group."

"The invitations were sent out in bulk? Just who did He invite?!"

(Fei Ying: Aha, you're spouting 'Atopian vulgarities,' 'medicine-seeking proverbs,' and 'the doctrine of abundance'!)

"Ask me anything else, I don't care. Anyway, you seem to be having a pretty tough time right now. To be honest, I'd really like to see you try to take on 10 million visitors with a tree branch. Although there seem to be only a little over 1000 visitors right now, judging by the rate of growth..."

"I only managed to get less than 1 visitors at the academy this morning, and now, before noon, 1000 visitors have appeared. 10 million visitors might not be a problem at all."

Qiong looked at Feiying, who was half-lying by the Jianmu pool, looking like she was about to die, and kicked her lightly twice, saying, "Hey! Aren't you the referee? What are you doing lying here? Hurry up and use your tree branch to fight those 10 visitors!"

Fei Ying's eyes lost their luster, and she lay on her side by the pool in the secret courtyard, her melancholy eyes reflected in the water.

At this moment, she must be the most melancholy person in the entire Two-Phase Paradise.
