《Getting Invincible in the Invasion of Online Games by Spending 90 Billion Yuan》 Chapter 1 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation bai zun suddenly got up from his bed. bai zun widened his eyes. he had sweat running down his forehead. ¡°i¡¯m¡­ i¡¯m still alive?¡± bai zun looked around in disbelief. it was a familiar bedroom that should have been destroyed a long time ago. after bai zun swallowed his saliva, he picked up his phone and looked at the time. 9 july 2333. it turned out to be ten days before the invasion of the online game! ¡°i¡¯ve reincarnated!¡± bai zun was shocked. however, he soon regained his composure and accepted reality. bai zun still remembered the last scene of his previous life¡ªhe was killed by a mutated beast ¡°boss¡± from the dimensional world with a wave of its hand. the mutated beast ¡°boss¡± was extremely powerful. even when bai zun had just completed his fourth class transition, he couldn¡¯t withstand one move from it. ¡°since i¡¯ve reincarnated, i¡¯ll be the ruler of the world after the invasion of online games!¡± bai zun¡¯s cold eyes were firm. it was an online game called ¡°dimensional space.¡± in another ten days, ¡°dimensional space¡± would merge with reality, and the players would merge with their game account data. from then on, the world welcomed a new era! secret realms would descend, and the dimensional world would open. the battle between mutated beasts and humans would begin! however, in the past, humans retreated step by step while facing the ferocious mutated beasts. ultimately, they could only stay in a small region and struggled at death¡¯s door. ¡°this time, i must reverse the human race¡¯s defeat!¡± every time bai zun thought about how humans were forced to flee like rats on the planet that belonged to them, his eyes burned with passion. bai zun immediately picked up his phone and opened the online game ¡°dimensional space.¡± [player ¡°lord of the sword,¡± welcome back to the game. you have left the dimensional world for five hours, thirty-three minutes, and thirty seconds. we all miss you.] as soon as bai zun opened the game, he saw a little fairy floating in the corner of the dialog box. bai zun¡¯s gaze became gloomy as he stared at the little fairy. bai zun knew that the little fairy wasn¡¯t a good person. it was called the ¡°ghost spirit clan¡± in the dimensional world. in the later stages of the game invasion, the ghost spirit clan opened the door to the dimensional world and launched a soul-stirring massacre on the human world! bai zun remembered everything! ¡°wait for it. this time, i will slaughter your entire clan!¡± bai zun couldn¡¯t help but feel enraged every time he considered how ghost spirits tortured and killed the human race. bai zun skipped over the dialog box and looked at the game interface. shop, wish, recharge, and information¡­ bai zun¡¯s gaze first stopped on the ¡°information.¡± the ¡°information¡± panel included specific information about bai zun¡¯s current account: [player: lord of the sword] [class: great swordsman (second transition)] [level: level 72] ¡­ there wasn¡¯t much information, but it clearly showed bai zun¡¯s strength in the game. bai zun glanced at it briefly and didn¡¯t look at it too much. afterward, bai zun tapped the ¡°wish¡± button and stared at the ¡°class wish.¡± [class wish: 1000 dimensional coins per time] when online games invaded reality, classes became even more important. therefore, choosing a good class would determine one¡¯s status in the world after the invasion of online games! before bai zun started to ¡°wish,¡± he made a phone call. ¡°boss, what can i do for you?¡± someone picked up the call, and a pleasant female voice sounded. bai zun said firmly, ¡°help me sell all my assets, except for the villa i¡¯m living in now!¡± the woman on the other end of the phone was stunned. she asked in disbelief, ¡°boss, are you kidding me? your joke isn¡¯t funny at all¡­¡± ¡°do it now!¡± afterward, bai zun hung up. bai zun had always been unquestionable. bai zun wouldn¡¯t simply change his mind. in an office in the supreme emperor group, ye shuishui was stunned. ye shuishui thought, ¡°what¡¯s wrong with my boss?¡± ¡°why did he suddenly want to sell all his assets?¡± as a secretary, ye shuishui worked for bai zun for several years. however, he had never been so crazy before! ye shuishui had no idea what was going on. however, ye shuishui also understood her boss¡¯s temper. bai zun wouldn¡¯t change his mind, and ye shuishui had to do as he said. ye shuishui had no choice but to frown and start helping bai zun. on the other side¡­ bai zun counted the cash he had on hand. there was a total of one billion. without hesitation, he topped up all his money in the game! [player ¡°lord of the sword¡± has successfully topped up 1,000,000,000 dimensional coins. the dimensional coins have been transferred to your account. please check it.] the balance on bai zun¡¯s account was already in the tens of thousands when he quickly glanced at it. ¡°great!¡± bai zun¡¯s gaze shifted to ¡°class wish.¡± bai zun clicked on ¡°wish¡± and chose ¡°thousand draws!¡± one million immediately disappeared!

[you have gathered the materials for the first transition. do you want to start the first transition?] bai zun chose ¡°yes.¡± [first transition in progress¡­] [congratulations on changing your class to the ¡°holy-wine swordsman.¡±] [please check the class transition information on the information panel.] Chapter 2 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation following the notification, bai zun opened his personal information: [player: lord of the sword] [class: holy-wine swordsman (first transition)] [level: level 30] ¡­ the corners of bai zun¡¯s mouth curled and he smiled as he started to use the experience pools.

[congratulations to player ¡°lord of the sword¡± for obtaining a bronze-grade weapon, the short blade!] [congratulations to player ¡°lord of the sword¡± for obtaining a silver-grade weapon, the goblin longsword!] [congratulations to player ¡°lord of the sword¡± for obtaining a diamond-grade weapon, the water-breaking sword!] [¡­] after a ¡°thousand draws¡±¡­ after ¡°ten thousand draws¡±¡­ after ¡°one hundred thousand draws¡±¡­ until the ¡°two hundred thousand draws!¡± [congratulations to player ¡°lord of the sword¡± for obtaining a mythical-level weapon, the immortal-slaying sword!] it was a mythical-level weapon, the immortal-slaying sword! excitement filled bai zun¡¯s eyes, and he immediately equipped the immortal-slaying sword. one could see that the cool character had an invincible aura after equipping the even more domineering immortal-slaying sword! after drawing the immortal-slaying sword, the sky slowly turned bright. after pulling an all-nighter, bai zun couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. bai zun set an alarm to wake up at 1 p.m. afterward, he put down his phone and went to sleep. at the same time, bai zun¡¯s massive sale of his assets caused a heated discussion worldwide! on tiktok. whether it was domestic or abroad, the netizens were all shocked. [smiling kitten: oh my god! is it the end of the world? why did one of the top 20 richest people in the world sell his assets in such a way?] [when you see me, remember to tell me to scram and study: it can¡¯t be the end of the world. the world can¡¯t end in this lifetime. his brain must have short-circuited. otherwise, why would he do such a stupid thing? wouldn¡¯t such a large corporation have a bonus of more than a billion yuan every year?] [detestable input method: sigh, he¡¯s rich. i heard he sold his assets for 90 billion yuan. tsk-tsk! the amount is enough for me to use for the rest of my life!] [my phone is broken: what kind of rich kid is the previous commenter? i can use 90 billion yuan for 900 lifetimes!] [fuck, it¡¯s 8 a.m. again: i don¡¯t understand the magnate¡¯s world¡­] [¡­] netizens expressed their opinions on the news of bai zun selling all his assets and cashing out tens of billions of yuan. at the same time, many players realized that the rankings of combat power and equipment in the game had been dominated by the same person within half a day on the ¡°dimensional space¡± game forum. it was someone the players had never seen in the rankings before. [someone who wants to learn drawing: brothers, did you all see that? today, this person ranks number one in the combat power rankings and is far ahead of second place! i reckon that even the top 100 combat powers on the leaderboard combined can¡¯t beat him.] [i won¡¯t use lipstick anymore: of course! the second place has only completed the fifth transition, while the first place has completed the ninth transition! look at the level rankings! this guy had already reached the maximum level, level 270!] [coding non-stop: hey! look! why is the class of ¡°lord of the sword¡± the holy swordsman? i¡¯ve never seen it before.] [getting first place in june¡¯s exam: what the heck?! why is it the supreme class?! does this game have supreme class?!] [i don¡¯t want to go to school: what the heck?! why is the sword in his hand a mythical-level sword?!] [i like miku: does anyone calculate how much money has he spent?!] [please recommend me a bluetooth headset: i guessed he at least reloaded 1,000,000 yuan!] [coffee lover: don¡¯t joke around. i¡¯m ranked 6th on the level leaderboard. i¡¯ve already reloaded more than 1,000,000 yuan¡­] [sun bar¡¯s heir: brother, you¡¯re so rich! please transfer me 50 yuan!] [¡­] the game forum was filled with enthusiastic discussions, and bai zun was woken up by the alarm clock at 1 p.m. bai zun rubbed his eyes and looked at the time. after yesterday, there were still nine days before the invasion of the online game! time waits for no man! after washing up, bai zun ate some bread to fill his stomach, like last night. afterward, he opened the game and started to spend money! Chapter 3 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation in the game ¡°dimensional space,¡± pets were an especially significant component of combat power in addition to levels and equipment. in bai zun¡¯s previous life, the pets of some classes were so powerful that they could even fight head-on with the mutated beast ¡°boss¡± and remain invincible. it could be said that, in the later stages of the online game invasion, when humans defended their homes, pets also played an irreplaceable role. the next step was to obtain a supreme pet! as a ruler, bai zun believed he couldn¡¯t be inferior in any aspect! bai zun opened the ¡°wish¡± category. apart from the ¡°class wish¡± and ¡°equipment wish,¡± there was also a smaller ¡°wish¡± button below them. it was the ¡°pet wish¡± button. compared to the ¡°class wish¡± and ¡°equipment wish,¡± the ¡°pet wish¡± button wasn¡¯t as eye-catching. the pet that was currently ranked first on the pet rankings was only a gold-grade pet. it was reported that although it was a gold-grade pet, its owner had spent 800,000 to 900,000 yuan to get it. the grade of the pets was the same as the equipment. it was also divided into bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, purple-gold, legendary, and mythical grades¡­ there were a total of eight grades. when a gold-grade pet costs 800,000 to 900,000 yuan, the price of a higher-grade, purple-gold-grade pet would be more than millions of yuan. in the game forum, some of the players had calculated that, unlike the ¡°class wish¡± and ¡°equipment wish,¡± if players didn¡¯t spend money on the ¡°pet wish¡± segment, they couldn¡¯t get any good pets. however, it wasn¡¯t a problem for bai zun. bai zun lacked everything except pets! thus, bai zun waved his hand and activated the ¡°thousand draws!¡± [congratulations to player ¡°lord of the sword¡± for obtaining a bronze-grade pet, the gerbil!] [congratulations to player ¡°lord of the sword¡± for obtaining a bronze-grade pet, the warhorse!] [congratulations to player ¡°lord of the sword¡± for obtaining a bronze-grade pet, the gopher!] [¡­] great! after the ¡°thousand draws,¡± the highest-graded pet bai zun could get was only a silver-grade pet! however, bai zun¡¯s expression remained calm as he started another ¡°thousand draws!¡± after ¡°two thousand draws¡±¡­ after ¡°ten thousand draws¡±¡­ after ¡°one hundred thousand draws¡±¡­ after ¡°two hundred thousand draws!¡± bai zun had spent 200 million yuan! the highest-graded pet bai zun could draw was only a purple-gold-grade pet! bai zun didn¡¯t continue to press the ¡°thousand draws¡± button. he took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, and then he continued to ¡°wish.¡± after ¡°one million draws¡±¡­ after ¡°two million draws!¡± finally! [congratulations to player ¡°lord of the sword¡± for obtaining a mythical-grade pet, the moon-devouring wolf!] the moon-devouring wolf! bai zun stared at the game interface. a peerlessly domineering arctic wolf with a body as white as snow came to bai zun¡¯s character¡¯s side and rubbed against his pants. looking at the pet introduction, it was even more explosive! [the moon-devouring wolf: a mythical wolf that can swallow stars and moons. it is said that it fought with the white tiger and swallowed it in three moves. since then, the white tiger has disappeared.] it could swallow a white tiger! bai zun remembered that in his previous life, someone had obtained a white tiger! it was a legendary-grade pet, and the mutated beast ¡°boss¡± was as weak as an ant in front of it! ¡°the moon-devouring wolf!¡± bai zun¡¯s expression seemed a little excited. having a supreme class. having a piece of mythical-grade equipment. having a mythical-grade pet. in this way¡­ it was enough! ¡°next! it¡¯s the guild!¡± bai zun changed his expression, and his gaze went past the workshop¡¯s ¡°wish¡± button and went straight to the ¡°guild¡± button. it had to be known that in the early stages of the online game invasion, although the dragon country¡¯s officials reacted quickly and established the player¡¯s management office in time, they could no longer stop the powerful players from creating their forces. in the later stages of the invasion, the humans were divided into factions by a few large guilds. each of them guarded an area. it was unavoidable. the mutated beast ¡°boss¡± was too powerful and had high intelligence. when the online game invaded, earth would expand by a thousand times. it would be difficult to communicate because the distances between the cities are too great. it would also be hard for the officials to unify the players. however¡­ bai zun wouldn¡¯t passively join any established guilds in this life. bai zun wanted to build it himself! bai zun wanted to create a super guild that could shock the mutated beasts! bai zun wasn¡¯t in a hurry to click open the guild system. by the time bai zun finished the draws in the ¡°pet wish,¡± it was already evening. last night, bai zun told ye shuishui to come to his house tonight. bai zun estimated the time and thought that it should be time. bai zun put down his phone, ate some bread to fill his stomach, and headed to the living room. there were still nine days until the invasion of the online game. compared to the satisfaction of his taste buds, he was more anxious to prepare for the invasion of the online game. after waiting in the living room for a while, the doorbell of the villa rang. bai zun could see ye shuishui, who was wearing casual clothes but couldn¡¯t hide her beauty through the screen of the smart door lock. bai zun opened the smart lock door with the remote control and ye shuishui soon arrived in the living room. bai zun was sitting on the sofa. he glanced at ye shuishui and gestured for her to sit opposite him. ye shuishui was 1.7 meters tall, with long legs and fair skin. her chest was also curvaceous. coupled with her beautiful face that seemed to be aggrieved at any time, it was difficult not to be tempted. however, when bai zun looked at ye shuishui, his eyes didn¡¯t have any emotions. ye shuishui sat down on the opposite side of the sofa. ¡°you don¡¯t have to resign. i still need you to work for me.¡± bai zun went straight to the point and said, ¡°download a game called ¡®dimensional space¡¯ now. don¡¯t do anything for the next few days. just focus on playing this game.¡± after bai zun finished his words, he stared at ye shuishui coldly. ye shuishui replied weakly, ¡°i¡­ understood.¡± afterward, ye shuishui picked up her phone and downloaded ¡°dimensional space¡± as bai zun instructed. although ye shuishui felt that it was strange for bai zun to ask her to play a game, she was more curious about the magic of the game that could make her boss personally recommend it. the installation package for ¡°dimensional space¡± wasn¡¯t big. it took half a minute to install. ye shuishui opened the game with curiosity, but the legendary game interface made her frown. ye shuishui thought, ¡°this¡­¡± ¡°my boss is quite nostalgic.¡± although ye shuishui wasn¡¯t interested, since her boss had instructed her to play, she had to. however¡­ before ye shuishui could take a second look at the game, a message from her bank suddenly popped up. [dear user, your account has earned 100,000,000 yuan. your balance is 100,000,000 yuan.] one¡­ 100 million?! ye shuishui was dumbfounded. ye shuishui thought, ¡°is my boss¡­¡± ¡°does my boss want to be my sugar daddy?!¡± ye shuishui¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at bai zun in disbelief. ¡°reload all the money into your game account and improve all aspects of your account.¡± bai zun spoke indifferently as if 100 million was nothing to him. oh, ye shuishui had forgotten something. to bai zun, 100 million was nothing. ¡°boss. this¡­ this isn¡¯t good¡­¡± ye shuishui looked hesitant and confused. reload 100 million yuan into the game or something¡­ ye shuishui didn¡¯t dare to do it, even in her dreams! ye shuishui thought, ¡°my boss is wasting too much money!¡± ¡°although my boss is very rich¡­¡± bai zun said indifferently, ¡°follow my instructions. just reload all the money into the game.¡± bai zun¡¯s account had reached its peak in all aspects. after nine days, no matter how much money he had, it would become waste paper. it was better to use it to develop his fraction. ye shuishui¡¯s management ability was not bad, and bai zun believed that she would be a great help to him in the guild in the future. ¡°oh¡­¡± ye shuishui didn¡¯t dare disobey her boss¡¯ words. although she was extremely confused, she nodded and agreed. ¡°you can go now. i¡¯ll inform you if there¡¯s anything else.¡± bai zun got up from the sofa and chased his guest out. ye shuishui didn¡¯t stay any longer and hurriedly left. bai zun returned to his bedroom. bai zun drank a glass of water, opened the ¡°dimensional space,¡± and opened the guild system. Chapter 4 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation when bai zun opened the guild system, two options automatically popped up on the game interface. [create a guild: spend 10,000 dimensional coins to establish your guild.] [join guild: free] bai zun created the guild without hesitating. [please create your guild name.] guild name¡­ bai zun pondered for a moment. soon, bai zun began to input his guild¡¯s name. [your guild name is ¡°nightmare.¡±] nightmare, nightmare. bai zun wanted to make his guild a nightmare for the mutated beasts! on the game interface, the dialog box continued to show other information.

[mythical-level guild base gift bag: 1,000,000,000 dimensional coins] one billion! bai zun didn¡¯t even blink. bai zun immediately bought it!

now, ye shuishui relied on the 100 million yuan bai zun had given her to rush to second place on the various rankings! although ye shuishui was second, there was still a huge gap between her and bai zun. since bai zun had so much money that he couldn¡¯t use it all, he transferred another billion yuan to ye shuishui so that she could improve her strength in the game. ye shuishui was stunned when she received the money. afterward, ye shuishui reloaded all the money into the game in a dumbfounded state. apart from ye shuishui, the members of the nightmare guild also advanced by leaps and bounds under bai zun¡¯s financial support. they almost occupied all the rankings. the top seven of the rankings were all members of the nightmare guild! bai zun was firmly in the first place. on the other hand, bai zun made the game, ¡°dimensional space¡± even more popular and attracted many new players. some rich people played the game like legends. they simply reloaded tens of millions of yuan into the game. as time slowly passed, it also carried the peaceful world step by step into the abyss. there were still two days before the invasion of the online game. bai zun began to meditate and condense his energy to welcome the arrival of the new world. bai zun had made all the preparations that he needed to make. everything was ready, except for the crucial event! on 19 july 2333. 12:00 p.m. bai zun woke up on his big bed in the villa. bai zun raised his head and looked out the window. the calm and bright sunlight might not be seen again after today. it was the last 12 hours of the old world! bai zun picked up his phone and called ye shuishui. ¡°where are you now?¡± ¡°i¡¯m¡­ i¡¯m at home.¡± on the other side, ye shuishui had just finished washing her underwear and hadn¡¯t had time to dry it when she received a call from bai zun. ¡°come to my house before 4 p.m. i have something to tell you.¡± bai zun instructed ye shuishui over the phone. ¡°oh, alright.¡± ye shuishui nodded. after that, the call was hung up. ye shuishui hurriedly dried her underwear. she didn¡¯t wait until 4 p.m. but rushed to bai zun¡¯s villa after 12 p.m. ye shuishui knew that her boss liked people who arrived early. soon, ye shuishui arrived at the villa. ye shuishui rang the doorbell, and the door opened. ye shuishui proficiently walked to the living room and saw bai zun sitting on the sofa in a white shirt. his expression was calm, but he still revealed a faint majesty. ye shuishui thought, ¡°my boss is still so domineering.¡± ye shuishui smiled as she approached the sofa. after glancing at ye shuishui, bai zun withdrew his gaze and said, ¡°how many people are left in the guild?¡± ¡°80 people.¡± ye shuishui sat down on the opposite side of the sofa and tapped her chin with her fair fingers as if she were recalling something. she then said, ¡°yesterday, i fired ten people in one go. they all took the money and didn¡¯t reload the money into the game.¡± the online game invasion hadn¡¯t started. if the first-generation members of the nightmare guild wanted to stay in the guild after the invasion and follow bai zun, the first hurdle was to resist the temptation of money and do as bai zun said. however, bai zun had only recruited 100 people. therefore, he was surprised that 80 of them had resisted the temptation of spending the money but reloaded them into the game. bai zun¡¯s original goal was to have 10 people remain loyal. the first-generation members didn¡¯t need to be many, but they needed to be loyal. in the future, when the online game invaded the real world, wouldn¡¯t there be as many members as bai zun wanted? ¡°great.¡± bai zun nodded lightly, then looked at ye shuishui with a solemn expression. he said, ¡°don¡¯t go home tonight. stay here until midnight!¡± Chapter 6 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation 12 a.m. was the time when the online game invaded reality! at that time, ¡°dimensional space¡¯s¡± server would be closed, and the game would officially invade reality. the first feedback on account data would begin! ¡°uh, do i need to stay here until the night?¡± ye shuishui¡¯s pretty face blushed. perhaps she thought of something ¡°dirty.¡± however, nobody could blame ye shuishui. it was hard for her imagination not to run wild after hearing bai zun¡¯s words. moreover, ye shuishui didn¡¯t have any intention of refusing. she just lowered her head with a red face, like a delicate rose ready to be picked. bai zun only glanced at her. ye shuishui didn¡¯t ask much, and he didn¡¯t say anything. there was no point in saying more. as long as the game invaded reality, ye shuishui would naturally understand everything. bai zun didn¡¯t bother with ye shuishui and picked up the bread on the table to eat. he called ye shuishui when he woke up in the afternoon. he hadn¡¯t had his lunch. ¡°boss, didn¡¯t you eat lunch?¡± ye shuishui noticed the problem. ¡°i¡¯m eating.¡± bai zun was eating his bread. ¡°boss, wait for me. i¡¯ll order takeout for you.¡± following that, ye shuishui took out her phone and started ordering takeout. bai zun didn¡¯t refuse ye shuishui¡¯s takeout. for the past few days, bai zun has focused on ¡°dimensional space.¡± he only needed to fill his stomach. soon, the takeout arrived, and bai zun began to eat. after eating bread for several days, bai zun¡¯s taste buds were suddenly satisfied, and he couldn¡¯t help but smile. ye shuishui also ate a few mouthfuls, but she had just finished eating, so her stomach was still full. time flew. in the evening, there were still six hours before the game¡¯s invasion. bai zun glanced at ye shuishui¡¯s account and told her to continue drawing equipment and pets. bai zun wanted ye shuishui to draw the best possible equipment and pets. it was 11 p.m. the living room was brightly lit, and bai zun and ye shuishui sat opposite each other on the sofa, just like in the afternoon. due to bai zun¡¯s silence, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing. although the sofa under ye shuishui¡¯s buttocks was very soft, she felt uneasy. when 11:58 p.m. bai zun suddenly said, ¡°open the game forum and check the official announcement.¡± in bai zun¡¯s previous life, an official announcement appeared on the game forum two minutes before the game invaded. the announcement also officially announced the start of the game¡¯s invasion. ye shuishui was stunned at first. she then obediently picked up her phone and opened the game forum. ye shuishui saw an official post that had just been pinned to the top. ¡°announcement of the closing of the server of ¡®dimensional space¡¯ and the merging of the game world with the real world.¡± ye shuishui frowned when she saw the title of the official announcement. what did it mean when the game world merged with reality? what did it mean? ye shuishui was puzzled. she then opened the post. ¡°good evening, players. the ¡®dimensional space¡¯ server will be completely closed at midnight tonight. at that time, players will receive the first feedback on their account data. when the game merges with reality, a new world will emerge. we wish you all good luck. from the developer of ¡®dimensional space''¡± the announcement caused ye shuishui to be puzzled. ye shuishui then clicked on the comments section and found that the netizens were in a similar state as her. [hahaha, i understand now: what? why is it that i can understand the words when they are separated but not when they are combined? [wiping the bottom with a tissue: is there a new game version? why wasn¡¯t there any news about it before? also, why do you close the server when there is a new game version?] [i don¡¯t understand: wait, are you going to close the server? i¡¯ve reloaded 100,000 yuan. what should i do if you close the server?] [football fanatic fans: fuck! refund me the money!] [toothpick isn¡¯t a tooth: no, everyone, shouldn¡¯t we focus on the game merging with reality?] [made of gold: hahaha! the previous commenter is a little funny. i guess that the announcement will be removed within a minute. the game officials will even issue an apology and compensate us!] [¡­] there were all kinds of opinions in the comments section of the official announcement. by the time ye shuishui finished reading the announcement and casually glanced at the comments section, two minutes had passed. the hour hand overlapped with the minute hand on the living room clock. 12 a.m. the time had arrived! ¡°buzz!¡± suddenly! ye shuishui felt her ears ring. immediately after, her brain felt dizzy! her brain¡­ it was so uncomfortable that ye shuishui felt like her brain was about to explode! ye shuishui¡¯s phone fell out of her hand. her face was in pain. she covered her head and leaned against the sofa. on the other hand, bai zun was still in his original state, but judging from the cold sweat on his forehead and his tightly clenched teeth, it was obvious that he was also in great pain. however, it also meant that the game had officially begun its invasion! the sudden pain was a sign of the game¡¯s invasion! it was also the first time players received data feedback! as long as one could survive it, one could obtain power in the game! cold sweat kept dripping down bai zun¡¯s forehead, dripping onto the ground with a faint pattering sound. ye shuishui, on the other hand, began to scream in pain. it seemed that calling out could relieve some of her pain and make her body more relaxed. the pain lasted for a few seconds. after the pain slowly dissipated, bai zun opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. at the same time, he saw the attribute panel floating in front of him, which only he could see. [id: bai zun] [class: five elements holy swordsman (third transition)] [level: level 90] [skills: five elements sword technique (dark radiance level), five elements domain (crimson level), five elements crime (crimson level), wind-forest-volcano (crimson level), chaotic phenomenon (gilded level)] ¡­ bai zun¡¯s gaze swept past the first three pieces of information and stopped at the last piece of information, skills. skills were divided into seven levels, which were grayish-white, stone-green, ice-blue, purple, obsidian, crimson, and gilded. moreover, the skill level couldn¡¯t be upgraded. it would be fixed after the transition. however, one could use skill books to learn new skills, but they had to be compatible with the class. as for skill books, they could be bought in the store, but the highest level they could buy was the purple level. as for the levels after the obsidian level, one had to challenge secret realms and obtain the dropping skill books. moreover, they could only be dropped by high-level secret realm ¡°bosses.¡± fortunately, bai zun was a supreme class, and even his weakest skill was at the obsidian level. just this point alone was enough to leave the other third transition classes behind. bai zun stared at those skills and couldn¡¯t help but want to try using them one by one. however, it was inconvenient to do it since bai zun was in his villa. just as bai zun was engrossed in looking at the skill introduction, a cry of surprise came from the other side of the sofa, causing him to raise his head. ye shuishui stared at the air in front of her in disbelief. her mouth was wide open as she looked at bai zun. she stretched out her finger and pointed at the air in front of her as if she wanted bai zun to see something. bai zun knew that ye shuishui wanted him to look at her attribute panel. however, everyone¡¯s attribute panel could only be seen by themselves, and the others couldn¡¯t see it. that wasn¡¯t right. some hidden classes could use certain skills to see other people¡¯s attribute panels. ye shuishui¡¯s face was filled with shock, and it was obvious that she was shocked by the scene in front of her. it was also the best time for bai zun to explain to her what had happened. everything had already happened. ye shuishui had no choice but to believe it. bai zun cleared his throat and stared solemnly at ye shuishui. ¡°listen to me. just like the official announcement you just saw, the game ¡®dimensional space¡¯ is slowly invading reality¡­¡± Chapter 7 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation july 20th, 2333, 12 a.m. after the announcement was released, the game invaded reality. miserable howls were heard all over the world. some players rolled on the ground in pain when they received feedback on their strength. in an ordinary rental house. a homebody author who was typing and rushing to update in the wee hours of the morning suddenly stopped typing on his keyboard. his eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide in an exaggerated manner. ¡°oww!¡± the homebody author leaned against his chair and collapsed to the ground. as the pain came, he was in extreme pain and wailed incessantly. however¡­ the pain only lasted for dozens of seconds before he lay on the ground and panted. however, in the blink of an eye, he saw a transparent light screen appear in front of him. he looked at the information on the screen in disbelief. ¡°this¡­ isn¡¯t this something i¡¯ve been playing with recently?¡± he widened his eyes and tried to reach out his finger to touch the light screen, but it passed through as if he had touched air. ¡­ at a couple-themed hotel. there were still a few seconds until 12 a.m., and a couple was having sexual intercourse under the warm lights. ¡°ouch! don¡¯t go too hard. be careful of my hair.¡± the woman rebuked him. the man smiled embarrassedly, and his movements became lighter. however, the man continued to move. however¡­ the man suddenly lost his energy, his expression changed, and he slumped to one side as though struck by lightning. the woman was so frightened that she quickly sat up. looking at the twitching man beside the bed, the woman was so scared that she didn¡¯t know what to do. fortunately, after a few seconds, the twitching man calmed down. the woman quickly stepped forward. she was naked, but the man was no longer interested in her. he stared at the attribute panel in front of him, disbelief almost overflowing from his eyes. ¡­ in a residential building. a junior high school student who had been hiding under his blanket all night playing games suddenly screamed in pain because of the sharp pain in his brain. his parents, who were in the bedroom next door, were alarmed. the phone that was still in the game interface was lying alone on the bed, but no one was paying attention to it now. the junior high school student rolled under the bed due to the intense pain. it took him dozens of seconds to recover. his parents also hurriedly helped him get up in their pajamas. the junior high school student stared at the information panel floating in the air. he blinked and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. he didn¡¯t respond to his mother¡¯s concern but shook his hand. with a thought, a pillow-sized cannon suddenly appeared on his shoulder! the junior high school student¡¯s eyes lit up, and his heart moved again. under his parents¡¯ frightened gaze, the cannon condensed flames and fired a few seconds later! ¡°boom!¡± a cannonball smashed through the window and landed in the bedroom of the opposite building! instantly, a badly mutilated corpse fell from the building that had been bombarded. the parents of the junior high school student were dumbfounded. ¡­ in a university dormitory. two male college students agreed to play ¡°dimensional space¡± together. however, when it was midnight, the game interface suddenly disappeared. the two of them sat on their respective beds and said, ¡°eh?¡± afterward, they began to communicate. ¡°what is it?¡± ¡°why did the server suddenly close?¡± when the two of them logged into the game again, they realized that ¡°dimensional space¡¯s¡± server had been closed. just as they were about to communicate again, they felt a splitting headache. dozens of seconds later¡­ the two of them realized the attribute panel. afterward¡­ they used their abilities out of curiosity. ¡°fuck! i summoned a revolver out of thin air!¡± ¡°fuck! mine is a rocket launcher!¡± the two of them looked at each other and fired at each other. ¡°bang!¡± ¡°boom!¡± not even a corpse was left. ¡­ it was all chaos. everyone experienced their class transition overnight. some people have ill intentions and have started to use their abilities to burn, kill, and plunder, releasing the evil in their hearts after temporarily accepting the reality of the game invasion. in response to such a situation, police stations around the world were in a terrible state. they mobilized all their police forces and equipped them with guns to curb the evil of human nature on the streets. if the police encounter someone doing something bad, they could shoot them directly! on the other side. bai zun was in the autumn-water city. in the conference room of the autumn-water city police station¡­ the chief of police called for an emergency meeting. ¡°it¡¯s chaotic! it¡¯s all in chaos!¡± ¡°after investigating until now, xiao wang told me that a game has merged with reality!¡± ¡°i¡¯ve lived for so many years, but i¡¯ve never seen such a ridiculous thing!¡± the chief of police slammed his palm on the table in anger. the police station was brightly lit the entire night. ¡°hurry up! find out who in the bureau has also become a player. count them all up!¡± the chief of police instructed it after calming down. some evil players were too powerful. ordinary pistols were no longer effective. only professionals could restrain them. the chief of police gave his order and dismissed the meeting. the police officers who had also played ¡°dimensional space¡± and became players were summoned one after another to set up specialized professional action groups. they were divided into groups of three to provide support at any time. at this moment¡­ in bai zun¡¯s villa¡­ after bai zun explained the current situation to ye shuishui, she finally accepted the reality after a few minutes. ¡°boss¡­ what should we do now?¡± ye shuishui didn¡¯t know when she sat next to bai zun. she would have stuck to him right now if it weren¡¯t for her concern that bai zun would reprimand her. ¡°don¡¯t panic. this is the first feedback after the game invasion. you and i are both in level 90, the third transition class. in the dragon country, we are the strongest!¡± bai zun¡¯s voice was calm, giving people a sense of security. ¡°you still haven¡¯t told me about your class.¡± ¡°oh¡­¡± ye shuishui remembered that bai zun had asked to see her class information about ten minutes ago, but she hadn¡¯t recovered from her shock at that time, so she ignored him. ¡°that¡¯s what it says on my attribute panel¡­¡± ye shuishui read the data on the attribute panel to bai zun. [id: ye shuishui] [class: grave-digging gunman (third transition)] [level: level 90] [skills: bizarre bullet suppression (purple level), bizarre shooting skills (purple level), deceiving skills (purple level), bizarre killing skills (obsidian level), grave-digging spear (crimson level)] due to bai zun¡¯s financial support, ye shuishui was ranked second in the rankings. after receiving the account data feedback, her strength had also reached a terrifying level! bai zun dared to say no one could defeat him and ye shuishui in the current stage! ¡°fantastic!¡± a smile appeared on bai zun¡¯s face. bai zun¡¯s smile also stunned ye shuishui. she couldn¡¯t help but be infatuated, but she reacted in time. ¡°after the game invades reality, other than the feedback of strength, earth¡¯s territory will expand once again. secret realms of all sizes will descend on these newly added areas.¡± bai zun explained the situation and asked ye shuishui to open the mapping software. on the satellite map, the gaps between the originally connected areas had been magnified several times. ye shuishui was stunned and asked subconsciously, ¡°what about the high-speed rail?¡± Chapter 8 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°it¡¯s broken.¡± bai zun said it indifferently. in his previous life, some large-scale transportation tools no longer existed in the early stages of the game invasion. traveling depended on the player¡¯s speed. as for ordinary people. since there was no convenient transportation, they were trapped in the city they were in. it was only in the middle stage of the game invasion that the teleportation array began to rise, and the problem that ordinary people couldn¡¯t travel around was solved. ye shuishui was silent for a while. ye shuishui skipped the topic and looked at her attribute panel. she said, ¡°boss, how should i use these skills?¡± bai zun didn¡¯t answer. instead, he got up from the sofa. bai zun turned his back and walked out of the door while saying, ¡°follow me.¡± ye shuishui followed him. soon, they left the villa and stood under the night sky. bai zun raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky. a solemn expression appeared on his face. bai zun estimated the time and knew that after the game invasion, the first wave of mutated beasts would break through the secret realm and attack the human city. if nobody stopped the mutated beasts first, the mutated beasts and their ¡°bosses¡± would have caught autumn-water city off guard. even though the mutated beasts weren¡¯t strong and the humans could still win, the city would be reduced to ruins. at that time, rebuilding the city would also be a troublesome matter. bai zun was prepared to place the nightmare guild¡¯s base in autumn-water city. he wouldn¡¯t allow the mutated beasts to succeed. since bai zun was only at the third transition and didn¡¯t have any flying skills, he could only increase his speed to the maximum. under bai zun¡¯s guidance, ye shuishui also sped up to a speed that she hadn¡¯t even dared to imagine before. they were like two high-speed motorcycles rushing toward the mutated beast¡¯s attack point. some pedestrians were shocked when they saw them. however, when they rubbed their eyes, they could no longer see the two motorcycles. since earth¡¯s territory expanded, autumn-water city also became much bigger. after a while, bai zun and ye shuishui finally arrived in the direction where the mutated beasts were about to attack. in bai zun¡¯s previous life, the city walls used to defend against mutated beasts hadn¡¯t been built yet. now that the suburbs were empty, he could see the mountains far away. thick fog was billowing, and figures that vaguely looked like a tide of beasts appeared. ¡°we¡¯re almost there. get ready!¡± bai zun glanced at ye shuishui. the next second, ye shuishui nervously summoned her initial weapon, a grayish-white level pistol. the game had invaded reality, and every player had an equipment slot that could be used to place weapons. the first feedback would only reflect a portion of the player¡¯s strengths. it didn¡¯t include weapons, tools, pets, and so on. however, the game provided players with a grayish-white level weapon, which was the lowest level of the class¡¯ weapon, to help the players survive the initial invasion. bai zun also casually summoned the grayish-white level longsword that was given to him by the game. bai zun glanced at the ordinary longsword in his hand, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. although the first wave of the mutated beasts¡¯ attack was weak, bai zun estimated that his ordinary longsword would be worn out or even broken after killing a few mutated beasts. bai zun simply threw away his sword and raised his index finger and middle finger, turning them into sword fingers. as he used his energy, a blue light extended from the tip of his sword fingers, turning into a transparent blue light-sword. ye shuishui looked at the scene, and her red lips turned into an ¡°o¡± shape. ¡°it¡¯s here!¡± bai zun shouted in a low voice. only then did ye shuishui realize that the earthquake was getting stronger and stronger as if it were going to happen in the next second. in reality, the mutated beast tide from far away was getting closer and closer. ye shuishui was still stunned by the fact that she had been brought to an actual fight after her class transition, and her heart was beating rapidly. meanwhile, ye shuishui thought, ¡°what should i do?¡± ¡°if i¡¯m being bitten, i¡¯ll die!¡± seeing the mutated beast tide getting closer and closer, ye shuishui became more and more flustered. in the end, ye shuishui¡¯s two straight and slender snow-white legs were trembling, and even her teeth were trembling. however¡­ without waiting for the mutated beast tide to get closer, bai zun, who was beside her, suddenly attacked the beast tide like an extremely sharp sword, accompanied by fierce and powerful sword energy! bai zun¡¯s sword-like figure disappeared in the blink of an eye until he disappeared into the tide of mutated beasts. ye shuishui was dumbfounded. ye shuishui had never expected that her boss wouldn¡¯t wait for them to come, but instead go towards them! what the fuck?! however, what was even more unbelievable was¡­ the even more unbelievable thing seemed to be happening behind. bai zun rushed into the mutated beast tide, and in less than two seconds, a huge domain of ice, fire, lightning, and other elements quickly spread out in the mutated beast tide. an enormous sword energy filled with incomparable power swept across the mutated beast tide one after another! ¡°oww!¡± ¡°yeow!¡± ¡°oww!¡± ye shuishui heard a loud wail that resounded through the clouds. if ye shuishui had guessed the situation correctly, the wails would have come from the mutated beasts. meanwhile, ye shuishui thought, ¡°my boss is slaughtering them.¡± ¡°and me? i can¡¯t help him to do anything.¡± as a spectator, ye shuishui stared at the flickering lights in front of her eyes as if she were enjoying a grand fireworks show. ¡°why is my boss¡­¡± ¡°so powerful¡­¡± ye shuishui was stunned. even the grayish-white level pistol in her hand fell to the ground. ¡­ ¡°chief! chief!¡± in the autumn-water city police station¡­ the chief of police, zhang jing, was worried about a few vicious cases involving the players. suddenly, a police officer rushed over. zhang jing frowned and couldn¡¯t help but sigh when he saw the anxious look on the police officer¡¯s face. something bad must have happened again. ¡°speak.¡± zhang jing looked at the police officer. ¡°something¡­ something is approaching from the south!¡± the police officer panted. ¡°the south?¡± zhang jing frowned and asked, ¡°which south?¡± ¡°the south of the suburbs!¡± the police officer continued to explain, ¡°a large number of unknown giant beasts are approaching! they¡¯ll be reaching the suburbs soon!¡± ¡°what?!¡± zhang jing glared at him and stood up. he said, ¡°what kind of giant beasts? speak clearly!¡± zhang jing¡¯s temples were swelling. his intuition was telling him that the giant beasts weren¡¯t something simple! ever since the game invaded reality, his worldview had been ruined. now, let alone a giant beast, even a police officer mentioned that a mutated mosquito would make zhang jing nervous! ¡°wild boars that can fly, rats that are as big as cows, and goblins that commit all kinds of crimes in japanese anime¡­¡± the police officer tried his best to describe the appearance of those giant beasts in his own words. however, zhang jing couldn¡¯t listen to him anymore. immediately, zhang jing picked up the phone and was about to call the higher-ups of the police station for a meeting to discuss how to solve the problem. the giant beasts were attacking autumn-water city. it was a ridiculous matter! however¡­ before zhang jing could dial, a police officer rushed over and exclaimed¡­ ¡°chief! the suburbs¡­ the suburbs!¡± maybe it was because the police officer ran too fast, he panted heavily, and it was difficult for him to even say a complete sentence. however, the police officer¡¯s appearance interrupted zhang jing¡¯s call. zhang jing held his phone and looked at the police officer¡¯s panicked expression. his heart couldn¡¯t help but thump. zhang jing asked in a trembling voice, ¡°what happened this time?¡± ¡°the suburbs¡­ the suburbs!¡± the new police officer was sweating profusely, and his face was filled with fear and shock. he breathed for a few seconds before he said, ¡°the giant beasts in the suburbs have been stopped!¡± ¡°they have been stopped?¡± zhang jing and the other police officer spoke in unison. they were all in disbelief. ¡°yes! officer wang sent me the video of the scene¡­¡± as the police officer spoke, he took out his phone, opened the chat history, and clicked on a video. as the video played, zhang jing and another police officer subconsciously moved closer. in the video, countless indescribable monsters were surrounded by elements such as wind, rain, lightning, and so on, and they kept wailing. after two seconds, a shocking flash of sword light swept across. zhang jing could see that a monster that was as big as a giant elephant and looked like a wild boar was beheaded! blood sprayed out like a fountain! zhang jing stared at it. meanwhile, zhang jing thought, ¡°this¡­ this¡­ this!¡± ¡°what the fuck is going on?¡± Chapter 9 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation although the suburbs were remote, there were still people living there. it wasn¡¯t just the police station. at the same time, there were also videos of the mutated beast tide being stopped from different perspectives and times on the internet. especially on tiktok and weibo, it instantly caused a huge uproar! [so old-fashioned: what? what the fuck? what the hell is this? are these monsters?] [teacup dog: i think so. it seems that the game not only brought players but also monsters while invading reality.] [citrus lemon: wait, is it right to focus on the giant beast? shouldn¡¯t we focus on the person who was killing the giant beast?] [tomato salad is so delicious: oh my goodness! i just realized it! did someone stop the giant beast tide?] [barley: the game has only invaded reality for a few hours. who is so powerful? could it be the cg of a game or the trailer of a movie? i think someone used it to scare people!] [time bomb: is this not the suburbs of autumn-water city? my house is only 20 minutes away from the suburbs. everyone, please calm down. i¡¯ll go take a look.] [give me back my food: observing.] [endless: observing +1] [the future city: observing +2] [¡­] twenty minutes later. on tiktok, the user ¡°time bomb¡± posted a video that instantly attracted more than 10,000 viewers. the content of the video was a quiet suburb of autumn-water city. however, looking further back, there were large numbers of giant beast corpses! none of the corpses had names! they¡­ they weren¡¯t creatures from earth! the comments section was in an uproar. [endless: what the fuck?! the situation in the previous video is fucking happening in reality?] [the future city: what the fuck?! is there someone who can stop so many giant beasts alone?!] [give me back my food: we must find him out! we must find him out now! who is this big shot? isn¡¯t he too strong?!] [teddy biscuit: the game has just invaded reality. the person who can receive such strong feedback must be on the rankings of the ¡°dimensional space¡±!] [master, please instruct me as much as you want: could it be the lord of the sword, who is ranked first on the rankings?] [world¡¯s first: it¡¯s possible!] [the end point: don¡¯t be so certain. even if he is the lord of the sword, it¡¯s unrealistic for him to block so many mutated beasts in the current period. i guessed it was aliens!] [¡­] inside the villa. bai zun had just arrived home after killing the mutated beasts and was about to take a shower when he saw ye shuishui approach him excitedly with her phone. ¡°boss, look! there are a lot of people discussing you online!¡± ye shuishui was even more ecstatic than bai zun when many people suddenly noticed him. however, bai zun¡¯s reaction was calm. bai zun didn¡¯t feel that being noticed was something to be proud of. it was just a pity that his spatial ring hadn¡¯t sent any feedback yet, wasting the mutated beasts¡¯ meat on the ground. if bai zun had his spatial ring, the mutated beasts¡¯ meat would be enough for him and ye shuishui to eat for several years. bai zun suddenly asked, ¡°by the way, what level are you now?¡± ye shuishui was startled by the question and said guiltily, ¡°level 9¡­ level 90.¡± ¡°why are you still at level 90?¡± bai zun frowned. after killing so many mutated beasts, bai zun had already reached level 95. why was ye shuishui still at level 90? why didn¡¯t she level up? ¡°i¡­ i¡­¡± ye shuishui stuttered and lowered her head in embarrassment. when bai zun was killing the mutated beasts in the suburbs of the city, ye shuishui had been watching from the side the entire time, like a little fangirl. she had forgotten that bai zun had told her to kill the beasts to level up before he started his battle with the mutated beasts. bai zun only glanced at ye shuishui and didn¡¯t say anything else. he walked to the bedroom and spoke to her while showing his back to her. ¡°sleep early. i¡¯ll take you to the secret realm tomorrow.¡± since the game had invaded reality, the secret realm had descended. bai zun expected that many secret realms should have descended around autumn-water city. the group of monsters that tried to crush autumn-water city were the monsters that had escaped from the secret realm. ye shuishui was stunned when she heard the word ¡°secret realm¡± and nodded obediently. not only could they gain experience points from clearing secret realms, but they could also obtain various weapons and items. in the early stages of the game invasion, the first feedback would only reflect 30% of the player¡¯s level and class. the rest, such as the weapons, pets, and guild base, would have to wait for the second and third feedbacks before they could descend. therefore, bai zun urgently needed to clear the instance dungeon and obtain some temporarily usable weapons to increase his combat strength, as well as practical auxiliary tools such as the spatial ring. moreover, bringing ye shuishui along to improve her combat ability was of the utmost importance. after all, when the guild base started to give feedback, bai zun would form a guild and counterattack the mutated beasts. at that time, bai zun would need someone to help him manage the guild. ye shuishui was a perfect candidate. after all, ye shuishui had been working as bai zun¡¯s secretary before the game invaded. not only was she trustworthy, but he also recognized her management skills. she was the perfect candidate for an assistant! bai zun went to the bedroom while ye shuishui sat on the sofa and answered a phone call. ¡°shuishui, are you alright?¡± a slightly anxious and concerned female voice came from the other end of the phone. ye shuishui hurriedly asked, ¡°mother, i¡¯m fine. what about you?¡± a few hours after the game invasion, bai zun took ye shuishui to block the mutated beast tide after awakening her class. she didn¡¯t have time to call her mother to ask if she was safe. when ye shuishui got home, she was just about to call. however, ye shuishui¡¯s mother called her first. ¡°it¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± mrs. ye heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that her daughter was fine. after mr. ye passed away, her daughter was the only thing that mrs. ye cared about in this world. mrs. ye told her daughter about the situation around her, ¡°i¡¯m fine too. i had just fallen asleep soundly when i heard a noise. afterward, i heard someone say that some madmen were shooting people on the street.¡± mrs. ye lived in the county town below autumn-water city. there weren¡¯t many people in the county town, and there weren¡¯t many young people. therefore, not many people had played ¡°dimensional space¡± before. there were also very few players and even fewer players committed crimes. ye shuishui quickly said, ¡°mother, be careful.¡± the game had invaded, and the earth¡¯s territory had expanded. not only had the territory of autumn-water city expanded several times, but the roads from the city to other regions were also filled with countless dangers because of the secret realms and mutated beasts. ye shuishui didn¡¯t dare go on the road recklessly and went to the county to bring her mother to autumn-water city. it would be much better if bai zun were willing to come along. thus, after ending the call with her mother, ye shuishui went to bai zun¡¯s bedroom and gently knocked on the door. ¡°boss, are you asleep?¡± Chapter 10 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation since ye shuishui was asking for help, her voice was exceptionally polite. ¡°you may come in.¡± bai zun¡¯s faint and oppressive voice rang out from the door frame. ye shuishui pushed open the door and walked in. ye shuishui saw that bai zun was leaning against the back of the bed with a blanket draped over his chest. above his chest was his muscular, naked skin. the scene was exciting enough for ye shuishui¡¯s imagination to run wild. she blushed and quickly lowered her head. bai zun asked indifferently, ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°yes. i need your help¡­¡± ye shuishui tried her best to control the trembling in her voice due to shyness. she said, ¡°boss, can you accompany me back to autumn-forest county and bring my mother here?¡± bai zun was very strong. he was so strong that ye shuishui couldn¡¯t help but blindly worship him. therefore, in her eyes, as long as bai zun agreed, bringing her mother here safely was a simple matter. however¡­ bai zun frowned and shook his head. he said, ¡°we can¡¯t do it now.¡± ¡°ah¡­¡± as the saying goes, you will be upset if you have high expectations. the disappointment in ye shuishui¡¯s eyes was almost overflowing. ye shuishui had never thought that her boss would reject her request. ¡°due to the game¡¯s invasion, the distance between autumn-water city and autumn-forest county has increased by at least four to five times. it means that on this widened road, we will face countless dangers.¡± bai zun said in a deep voice, ¡°we¡¯re still too weak. if we encounter a diamond or purple gold-grade mutated beast, we won¡¯t be able to escape.¡± the mutated beasts in the suburbs were only silver-grade mutated beasts, and the highest level was only level 50. compared to bai zun, who was at level 90, they were far inferior to him. however, it was something bai zun knew before his reincarnation. as for how many secret realms there were around autumn-water city, what level the secret realms were at, and whether there were any powerful mutated beast ¡°bosses¡± that had escaped¡­ everything was unknown. they couldn¡¯t risk their lives and act rashly. however, the disappointment in ye shuishui¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t last long. after hearing bai zun¡¯s next sentence, she immediately became happy again. bai zun promised, ¡°let¡¯s wait a little longer. when the game starts the second feedback phase in a few days, the weapons and items will also be given feedback. i¡¯ll go with you and bring your mother over.¡± a player¡¯s combat strength depended on their level, but the amplification of various equipment could raise their combat strength to another level. for example, if two players at level 90 were in their third transition, one would have a legendary sword while the other didn¡¯t. if one used the sword to cast a skill, it wouldn¡¯t be too much to kill the other party in one strike, right? ¡°alright then¡­¡± bai zun¡¯s words were very thoughtful, and ye shuishui seriously thought about them before nodding her head. moreover, there weren¡¯t many players in autumn-forest county, so it wasn¡¯t very dangerous. before the second feedback began, as long as ye shuishui told her mother not to go out, her mother should be safe. after saying goodnight to bai zun, ye shuishui hurriedly left and returned to the guest room to talk to her mother on the phone. ¡­ the next day. bai zun woke up early. after washing up, bai zun prepared some breakfast but didn¡¯t eat it first. instead, he went to ye shuishui¡¯s room and knocked. ¡°i¡¯ve already wake up¡­¡± ye shuishui hurriedly got dressed and got up. they were going to attack the secret realm today, as bai zun had told ye shuishui last night. after the two of them had breakfast, bai zun drove his low-key mercedes-benz into the city. although bai zun could rely on his physical speed to quickly get to the outside of the autumn-water city, at this stage, bai zun¡¯s body was still made of flesh and blood and couldn¡¯t withstand the attacks of the heavy artillery. it was better to keep a low profile before his strength was fully reflected. the first place they had to go was the first gold-grade secret realm that bai zun had an impression of and had first cleared in his previous life. the average level of the small monsters in the gold-grade secret realm was 70 to 80, and the level of the mutated beast ¡°boss¡± was as high as 90. the level of the mutated beast ¡°boss¡± was similar to bai zun¡¯s, but it was unknown how much of a difference there was in combat power. the group of mutated beasts from last night was too weak, and bai zun wanted to take the opportunity to feel his strength. moreover¡­ bai zun could also obtain some tools and weapons to increase his combat power after killing small monsters and mutated beast ¡°bosses.¡± bai zun wanted to obtain spatial-type items the most. the main reason was that it was convenient. bai zun¡¯s thoughts gradually stopped, and he drove on the peaceful road. after last night¡¯s chaos, the autumn-water city police station urgently reorganized the city. after a night, autumn-water city had temporarily stabilized. however, nobody knew how long it could last. bai zun knew that once the second feedback descended, the strength of the players would be upgraded again, and the restlessness and desire in their hearts would be stimulated again. bai zun quickly left autumn-water city. slowly, they arrived in the desolate wilderness. before leaving the suburbs, bai zun parked his car in front of a convenience store and asked ye shuishui to go down and buy him a cup of coffee. in bai zun¡¯s previous life, the game had not yet invaded reality. he was busy with work, and it was common for him to have a few cups of coffee a day to refresh himself. after the game invaded, the prices of everything skyrocketed, and his wealth was reduced to zero. he couldn¡¯t even afford a cup of coffee. occasionally, bai zun would also want to reminisce. ye shuishui got out of the car obediently. ye shuishui walked into the convenience store. through the glass door of the convenience store, one could see her graceful figure standing in front of the cashier and talking to the female cashier. afterward, the female cashier began to operate the coffee machine. ye shuishui stood aside and waited. a few minutes later, the coffee was ready. the female cashier put it in a paper bag and handed it over with both hands. ye shuishui was about to leave with the coffee in the paper bag. however¡­ bai zun could see three young men with different hair colors and sloppy expressions blocking ye shuishui¡¯s path through the glass. ¡°beauty, give me your contact information.¡± the leader of the group, the yellow-haired guy, had a cigarette in his mouth. he spoke in a frivolous tone, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as if he thought he was very handsome. seeing that ye shuishui was frowning and didn¡¯t respond immediately, the red-haired guy, who was beside the yellow-haired guy, whistled and said in a frivolous tone, ¡°it¡¯s just contact information. it¡¯s not a big deal.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. we can be friends.¡± the green-haired guy also smirked. the yellow-haired guy and his two underlings stood in front of ye shuishui as if they wouldn¡¯t let her leave if she didn¡¯t give them her contact information. when the female cashier saw the scene, she was afraid and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. ye shuishui, on the other hand, showed a gloomy expression and said coldly, ¡°move aside.¡± the yellow-haired guy teased, ¡°hey! are you angry?¡± the yellow-haired guy and the green-haired guy also laughed. ye shuishui¡¯s face darkened. however¡­ in the next second. ¡°shuishui, why aren¡¯t you coming over?¡± bai zun rolled down the window and looked at the convenience store with a cold gaze as he called out to ye shuishui. bai zun¡¯s voice not only attracted ye shuishui¡¯s attention but also the attention of the three people. the three turned around and smiled at each other when they saw bai zun. afterward, they opened the glass door and left the convenience store. ¡°i was wondering why she was unwilling to leave her contact information. so it¡¯s you, fellow¡­ uh.¡± the red-haired guy was smiling as he spoke. however, before he could finish his words, a sword ray flashed past and pierced through his glabella, causing blood to splatter. his eyes were dull as he fell backward. ¡°bang!¡± the red-haired guy suddenly fell to the ground, and the blood suddenly splattered out. the scene shocked the yellow-haired guy and the green-haired guy. ye shuishui was also stunned. ye shuishui thought, ¡°boss¡­¡± ¡°did¡­ did my boss just kill someone?¡± the yellow-haired guy quickly calmed down. as he cursed, he waved his hand and summoned a short blade.¡±is it powerful to have a gun? i¡¯ll let you see what it is.¡± ¡°whoosh!¡± similarly, before the yellow-haired guy could finish speaking, his head was cut off by a sword ray, and he fell backward. Chapter 11 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation bai zun finally understood why the yellow-haired guy was so brave and dared to tease ye shuishui in public. the yellow-haired guy thought he was a player, and no one would dare go against him. however, unfortunately, the person he met was bai zun. bai zun was a reincarnated person who had been influenced by blood, tears, and ruthlessness! when he saw his companions being killed one after another, the green-haired guy, who wasn¡¯t a player, immediately panicked and wanted to run. however, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn¡¯t outrun bai zun¡¯s sword. with a swoosh, the green-haired guy¡¯s head also fell to the ground. looking at the three corpses on the ground, ye shuishui¡¯s footsteps were stiff when she returned to the car. the female cashier in the convenience store was already stunned on the spot. after ye shuishui returned to the car, bai zun didn¡¯t stay any longer. he took a sip of coffee and continued on his way. while driving, bai zun could see ye shuishui¡¯s dazed expression through the rearview mirror. ¡°there will be many opportunities to see dead people in the future. be mentally prepared.¡± ye shuishui only nodded after bai zun finished speaking. her expression was still pale. however, bai zun didn¡¯t say anything else. ye shuishui had lived a peaceful life for more than 20 years. it was normal for her to find it difficult to accept that her quiet life had been abruptly disrupted. however, even though ye shuishui refused to accept it, she still had to accept it in the end. she had to take it slow. after a while, bai zun stopped the car and got out with ye shuishui. they were facing a large piece of barren land. there weren¡¯t even a few plants. at the beginning of the game invasion, the mutated beasts were still hiding in the secret realm. as time passed, the mutated beasts would gradually leave the secret realm and start to build their homes on the desolate land, further occupying human living space. bai zun was clear about it. after telling ye shuishui to follow him, bai zun led her deep into the desolate land. as they walked, they saw endless, barren land. the scene also shocked ye shuishui. meanwhile, ye shuishui also realized how childish her idea of asking bai zun to accompany her to autumn-forest county to pick up her mother was. the barren land outside the autumn-water city was boundless. if they blindly headed to autumn-forest county, not only would they encounter mutated beasts, but they might also get lost. the former was still fine, and bai zun could still handle it, but the latter was no different from becoming a headless fly in the desert. it was terrifying. soon, bai zun and ye shuishui arrived in front of a secret realm that was floating in the air and glowing with golden light. the appearance of the secret realm was like an oval mirror floating in the air, but if one looked clearly, it was a small world with a city of grass and trees. ¡°follow up!¡± bai zun furrowed his brows and pointed his sword. as he accumulated power, a huge wave of might descended. afterward, he stepped into the secret realm. ye shuishui also summoned out her grayish-white level pistol and quickly followed. the two of them entered the secret realm. knee-high weeds were under their feet, and they were surrounded by a large forest. the large forest was like the ones in a western fantasy anime. bai zun raised his head and saw a castle that was taller than all the trees in the forest. it was the goblin castle. it was also where the ¡°boss¡± of the secret realm, the goblin king, was located. ¡°follow me and use your skills!¡± bai zun instructed. ye shuishui gripped her pistol tightly and nodded solemnly. bai zun took the lead and sped up, rushing out of the forest and heading toward the goblin castle. ye shuishui quickly followed bai zun. when they left the forest, bai zun encountered a few squads of goblin monsters that were over level 60, but he easily dealt with them. bai zun also obtained a bronze-grade longsword and a silver-grade pistol. bai zun passed the pistol to ye shuishui and casually threw away the longsword. there was no other reason than that its grade was too low. it would break after killing a few goblins. it wasn¡¯t as useful as bai zun¡¯s sword finger. afterward, the two of them continued to go deeper. after they killed hundreds of goblins, bai zun and ye shuishui successfully arrived at the entrance of the goblin castle. the goblins, who had already discovered them, were also waiting in front of the castle gates. ¡°kill these two ungrateful intruders!¡± ¡°kill! kill! kill!¡± ¡°for the glory of the goblins!¡± ¡°for glory! for glory! for glory!¡± spear goblin, short-sword goblin, and cannon goblin¡­ as expected in the gold-grade secret realm, the goblins were shouting. in front of the city gate and on the city wall, there were different types of goblins attacking bai zun. bai zun glanced around and estimated that there were at least thousands of goblins. bai zun glanced at ye shuishui and said, ¡°i¡¯ll leave the cannon goblins on the city wall to you!¡± ye shuishui¡¯s class was a grave-digging gunman, and her long-range attacks were quite powerful. after ye shuishui nodded solemnly, bai zun suddenly shot out like a sword. bai zun directly arrived at the gathering place of the goblins! five elements domain¡­ unleash! five elements sword technique¡­ shoot! in an instant, a huge domain enveloped the castle gate. the sword rays that filled the sky rained down on every goblin. instantly, blood gushed out, and corpses were strewn all over the ground! while bai zun was slaughtering the goblins, ye shuishui wasn¡¯t idle either. ye shuishui took the silver-grade pistol she had just obtained and used the purple level skill ¡°bizarre bullet suppression.¡± immediately, the pistol fired hundreds of sorcery energy bullets like a machine gun! ¡°bang! bang! bang!¡± the gunshots continued, and the cannon goblins on the city wall fell one after another. in less than half a minute, ye shuishui and bai zun had killed all the monsters in front of the goblin castle. however, as the castle door opened, more goblins rushed out with weapons. since bai zun had battled for a long time, he slowly lost his patience with the small monsters. after killing a cannon goblin, bai zun growled at ye shuishui behind him, ¡°retreat!¡± without hesitation, ye shuishui quickly retreated. afterward, ye shuishui saw bai zun float on the spot and slowly land in the air. his sword finger slowly enlarged and condensed into a blood-red sword phantom that was hundreds of meters long! at the same time, the five elements domain under bai zun¡¯s feet also turned scarlet red. ye shuishui, who was viewing the enormous sword phantom from a distance, experienced heart palpitations. the goblins, who were still rushing out of the city, stopped in their tracks. they were either stunned or dumbfounded as they looked up at bai zun. afterward¡­ the huge sword phantom suddenly fell! ¡°boom!¡± the huge sword¡¯s light directly broke a corner of the castle! thousands of goblins immediately died! blood fell like rain! after this move, bai zun scared numerous goblins that were rushing toward the city gate. they threw away their weapons and fled in all directions. behind bai zun, ye shuishui¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. ¡°follow up!¡± bai zun didn¡¯t stop. he turned around and called ye shuishui, then continued to attack the depths of the castle. the goblin monsters had been scared out of their wits by bai zun¡¯s move, and no one dared to stop him. afterward, bai zun successfully arrived at the goblin palace. the palace was huge¡ªso huge that bai zun was like an ant that had just entered a human bedroom. on the huge throne in front of the palace, the goblin king, who was more than ten meters tall, touched the crown on his head and was about to get up. ¡°human, how dare you offend the great goblin king!¡± ¡°boom!¡± before the goblin king could finish speaking, bai zun slashed out with his sword. he even chopped off the goblin king¡¯s crown. the goblin king lowered his head and looked at the shattered crown lying on the ground. his chest heaved up and down as he glared at bai zun. however, in the next second¡­ bai zun¡¯s eyes were fierce as he showed his long sword phantom, slowly gathering wind, rain, lightning, and other elements. afterward, bai zun charged at the goblin king! Chapter 12 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the crimson level skill, wind-forest-volcano! bai zun brandished his sword and unleashed his five elements domain. wind, forest, and fire instantly enveloped the goblin king! there were storms, a forest of needles, raging volcanoes, and¡­ a sword ray that condensed wind, rain, and lightning! ¡°awoo!¡± as expected of a gold-grade ¡°boss,¡± even its screams were louder than normal monsters. in just a few seconds, the goblin king¡¯s huge body collapsed. ye shuishui trembled a few times. at the same time, ye shuishui looked at bai zun¡¯s back, and her admiration for him was so great that it was as if little stars were shining out of her eyes. as the goblin king died, the secret realm began to collapse, and everything around it began to dissipate into specks of light. the goblin monsters that hadn¡¯t been killed also shouted and rushed out, afraid that they would die like their dead companions if they were one step late. bai zun came to the side of the goblin king¡¯s corpse. a few pieces of equipment were scattered around the corpse, and bai zun picked them up one by one. [the goblin king¡¯s sword: a gold-grade weapon, an accessory of the goblin king. it is one of the most precious weapons in the goblin castle.] [the goblin king¡¯s exclusive storage bag: a spatial tool, it can be used to store items.] [¡­] other than these two pieces of equipment, the other equipment¡¯s ratings were bad. bai zun picked up the goblin king¡¯s sword and weighed it in his hand. afterward, a faint smile appeared on his face. a gold-grade weapon was not bad. at least it was better than the sword finger. it could be used temporarily. there was also the goblin king¡¯s exclusive storage bag. bai zun was quite satisfied while holding the storage bag. with the spatial tool, bai zun could store some decent equipment and tools in the future. when the guild system gave feedback, he could use the equipment and tools to strengthen his guild. after picking up the items, bai zun and ye shuishui left the secret realm. at the same time¡­ in the suburbs of autumn-water city. since bai zun had broken into the gold-grade secret realm, large groups of goblins had escaped. some ran and arrived in the suburbs of autumn-water city. dozens of goblins arrived in the suburbs of the city and were about to rest when they saw a few children playing in the sand and building a small castle. seeing the children, the goblins subconsciously trembled. afterward, they thought of bai zun¡¯s indescribably terrifying appearance, which could destroy cities. the secret realm had just descended, and the goblins had never come into contact with humans before. bai zun was the first human they had encountered. the moment the goblins saw the children, they subconsciously thought that they were as terrifying as bai zun. immediately, panic spread among the goblins. ¡°run! run for your lives!¡± ¡°for the glory of the goblins! run!¡± ¡°whoa!¡± moreover¡­ as the goblins ran and shouted, the children stopped building their sandcastles and looked at the goblins. ¡°it¡¯s cosplay!¡± ¡°quick, take a photo!¡± ¡°i have a phone¡­ i have a phone¡­¡± moreover¡­ unlike the goblins, who were fleeing in panic, the children took out their phones and turned on the camera function. they chased after the goblins. the more the children chased, the faster the goblins ran. they even lost their weapons. some children were even more excited when they picked up weapons, thinking that they were cosplay props. when they picked up the weapons and brought them home, their parents were so scared that their faces turned pale. ¡°where did you get this from?¡± a father stared at the dark bloodstains on the goblin¡¯s dagger. he could even smell the faint smell of blood. he immediately put the dagger on the table in fear and asked his son seriously. afterward, he saw the video of his son using his phone to record. looking at the human-shaped but ugly goblins, the father couldn¡¯t help but gulp in fear. ¡°you!¡± he immediately glared at his son. his son lowered his head in grief. at the same time, the video of the goblins running away from people quickly went viral on the internet. [earplugs: damn! shouldn¡¯t we be the ones running when we see goblins? why did the goblins run away when they saw us? moreover, why did they seem to be afraid of us?] [wingman: that¡¯s right! what¡¯s going on?] [lip balm: who knows! i was just taking a bath at home when a goblin barged in. when it saw me, it shouted and ran. i was speechless! i should be the one to be afraid, alright?] [a small leaf: what happened to these goblins?] [miku is the best in the world: brothers, here¡¯s the first-hand news! it was said that a ruthless person destroyed a secret realm outside the autumn-water city. these goblins had escaped from that secret realm!] [the stewed goose: i¡¯m asking because i don¡¯t know. what¡¯s a secret realm?] [the seventh personality: you don¡¯t even know about the secret realm?

Chapter 13 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation after clearing the goblin¡¯s secret realm, bai zun and ye shuishui returned to the villa. ¡°i¡¯m exhausted.¡± as soon as ye shuishui arrived in the living room, she threw herself onto the sofa and stretched her limbs comfortably. bai zun put his hands in his pockets and looked at her expressionlessly. he asked, ¡°what level are you at now?¡± without the ability to look at other people¡¯s attribute panels, bai zun could only inquire about ye shuishui¡¯s current level. ye shuishui slowly sat up straight on the sofa and carefully looked up at bai zun. after that, she lowered her head and said weakly, ¡°level 91¡­¡± bai zun was expressionless. ye shuishui paused for a moment and explained in a low voice, ¡°boss, you¡¯re too powerful. i didn¡¯t even have the chance to kill those goblins.¡± bai zun had been rushing at the front, blocking most of the goblins. ye shuishui had long been mesmerized by his domineering posture as he destroyed the secret realm. how could she have the time to kill goblins? how could goblins be as good-looking as her boss? of course, ye shuishui could only think about these in her head. she didn¡¯t have the guts to tell bai zun¡­ seeing that bai zun was silent, ye shuishui lowered her head even more, as if she were already prepared to be scolded. however, bai zun didn¡¯t blame her. ¡°you don¡¯t have to rush. your class is a mage. after lunch, i¡¯ll bring you to clear the other secret realms around. you can soon upgrade your level.¡± as soon as bai zun finished speaking, he waved his hand and left. on the other hand, ye shuishui went back to lying down and was glad that her boss didn¡¯t scold her. however, ye shuishui had no idea that it would be her last few days of leisure time. in the next few days, bai zun took ye shuishui to explore the secret realms around the autumn-water city. regardless of size, there were traces of them passing by. wherever they passed, the secret realms collapsed! just as bai zun and ye shuishui were about to clear the secret realms around autumn-water city, the chief of autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office finally made up his mind to lead the strongest players to explore the secret realms. the group of five left autumn-water city and walked on the desolate land. ¡°chief zuo, when will we arrive at the secret realm that you mentioned?¡± a member asked. zuo yan, the chief of the autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office, was expressionless. he pointed to the front and said, ¡°it¡¯s just a few hundred meters ahead.¡± following chief zuo¡¯s direction, the members all looked ahead. they saw a broken gate to the secret realm lying alone on the barren land. ¡°chief. this¡­¡± a member quickly walked to the ruins of the secret realm¡¯s gate and picked up a stone. he turned around and looked at zuo yan, who was also rushing over, and asked in confusion. zuo yan also frowned. zuo yan crouched down and picked up a broken stone from the secret realm¡¯s gate. ¡°the secret realm has been destroyed.¡± zuo yan frowned and stood up. at the same time, he summoned a huge sword out of thin air and carried it on his shoulder. ¡°let¡¯s go to the next secret realm!¡± before coming, zuo yan had already made plans. zuo yan chose a few bronze-grade secret realms to test their strengths on the satellite map. after the game invaded, secret realms descended all over the world. some players immediately entered the secret realms. after repeated comparisons, they confirmed that the secret realms in reality and the secret realms in ¡°dimensional space¡± were the same. the bronze-grade secret realm was filled with mutated beasts from level one to level 30. they posed no threat to zuo yan and his team members, so it was considered a relatively safe attempt. however, zuo yan believed that he couldn¡¯t take it lightly. therefore, zuo yan continued to bring his four team members to the next bronze-grade secret realm with vigilance. however¡­ what he saw was still gravel. ¡°it¡¯s broken again?¡± ¡°chief, are you sure you¡¯ve got the right place? is this really where the entrance to the secret realm is?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right! there¡¯s nothing here!¡± the team members chattered and questioned zuo yan. they couldn¡¯t be blamed. even zuo yan was starting to have doubts about the map of the targeted secret realm on his phone. zuo yan suspected that the player¡¯s management office had made a mistake and given him the wrong map. ¡°it shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡± zuo yan continued to frown. the player¡¯s management office attached great importance to the matter of conquering the secret realm. the satellite map had been repeatedly compared, and the probability of error was too small. however, the situation in front of him made zuo yan suspicious. ¡°i¡¯ve seen it on the internet. if the ¡°boss¡± of the secret realm is killed, the secret realm will collapse, and the door to the secret realm will turn into a pile of gravel.¡± suddenly, a relatively silent mage in the team, who was holding a grayish-white level staff, whispered. his voice rang out, and the four pairs of eyes looked over. ¡°are you sure?¡± zuo yan frowned. ¡°yes.¡± the archmage nodded. zuo yan took a few deep breaths. zuo yan thought, ¡°does it mean that some players had cleared the two bronze-grade secret realms before we came?¡± the highest-level ¡°boss¡± in the bronze-grade secret realm was only level 30. as long as the player was in his first transition or above, they could easily deal with it. zuo yan was a second transition expert and was at level 65. if it were him, he could easily clear the stage. therefore, zuo yan didn¡¯t care much about it. he just waved his hand and told his teammates to follow. afterward, they arrived at the next bronze-grade secret realm. however, at the same time, they still saw a pile of rubble. ¡°is the bronze-grade secret realm so popular?¡± three bronze-grade secret realms had been conquered in a row. zuo yan smiled helplessly and gave up on searching for bronze-grade secret realms. instead, he looked at the silver-grade secret realms marked on the satellite map. unlike the bronze-grade secret realms, the monsters in the silver-grade secret realms were generally between level 30 and level 60. the strongest ¡°boss¡± in the silver-grade secret realms was only level 60. it was still within zuo yan¡¯s range. hence, zuo yan chose a silver-grade secret realm and led his team members there. however¡­ when zuo yan saw the ruins of the silver-grade secret realm¡¯s gate, he couldn¡¯t remain calm. zuo yan continued to search for the next silver-grade secret realm. however, zuo yan still encountered another pile of ruins. afterward, the third and fourth¡­ zuo yan found four silver-grade secret realms in a row, but they were all ruins! it was hard for zuo yan not to suspect that the player who conquered the four silver-grade secret realms was the same person! zuo yan¡¯s expression changed drastically when he stood in front of the ruins of the fourth silver-grade secret realm¡¯s gate. it wasn¡¯t difficult for zuo yan to continuously conquer bronze-grade secret realms. he could do it too. however, continuously conquering silver-grade secret realms¡­ who was this guy?! not only zuo yan, but even his teammates were also silent. ¡°chief¡­¡± one of the members asked solemnly, ¡°is there anyone more powerful than you in autumn-water city?¡± one had to know that the highest-level player in autumn-water city was the second transition class, zuo yan, who was in level 65. it was also because of this that zuo yan was able to become the chief of the player¡¯s management office. ¡°let¡¯s see.¡± zuo yan¡¯s voice was unusually solemn. zuo yan thought that as long as he found a gold-grade secret realm, he would know how strong the people who continuously conquered the silver-grade secret realms were. the gold-grade mutated beasts were all between level 60 and level 90. at this stage, in the entire country, there were only a few cases of successfully conquering a gold-grade secret realm, and they were all experts close to the third transition in their class. zuo yan didn¡¯t believe that there would be a third transition expert in autumn-water city! it was absurd! zuo yan calmed down and successfully found the location of the gold-grade secret realm on the satellite map. he didn¡¯t have the time to care about the sunset and led his four teammates to rush over. soon, when zuo yan saw the ruins of the gold-grade secret realm¡¯s gate, he was dumbfounded. Chapter 14 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation other than him, his four team members were also wide-eyed. they were just short of writing the word ¡°unbelievable¡± in their eyes. ¡°this, this, this¡­¡± a team member pointed at the ruins of the gold-grade secret realm¡¯s gate and stammered, ¡°does our autumn-water city have a player who achieved his third transition?¡± third transition! the lowest was level 60, and the highest was level 90! according to the official statistics of autumn-water city, there were only two level 60 players in the city. one was zuo yan, and the other was the deputy chief of the player¡¯s management office. he was two levels lower than zuo yan! however, one of the gold-grade secret realms around autumn-water city had been conquered! it was very likely that the player was an expert who achieved his third transition! this time, zuo yan could no longer sit still. zuo yan reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. his breathing gradually became rapid, but he quickly calmed down. under the gazes of the four members, he slowly spoke. ¡°he might haven¡¯t achieved his third transition!¡± zuo yan spoke in a deep voice and continued to search for the next gold-grade secret realm. zuo yan still felt a little lucky. zuo yan was glad that the person who had conquered the gold-grade secret realm was only a little stronger than him. this way, he could at least secure his position as chief of the player¡¯s management office. ¡°impossible. it¡¯s impossible!¡± with a trace of relief, zuo yan brought the shocked team members to the entrance of the next gold-grade secret realm. this time, the door to the secret realm was intact and emitted a golden halo. seeing the halo, zuo yan heaved a sigh of relief. meanwhile, zuo yan thought, ¡°just as i expected, that fellow definitely can¡¯t be a player who achieved his third transition.¡± ¡°i¡¯ve only achieved my second transition. how can there be a player who achieves his third transition in autumn-water city?¡± ¡°at most, he¡¯s only a few levels higher than me.¡± zuo yan¡¯s lips slowly curled into a smile. however¡­ in the next second. ¡°chief¡­ chief!¡± behind zuo yan, a team member exclaimed, ¡°the door to the secret realm¡­ it¡¯s about to shatter!¡± hmm? zuo yan immediately frowned and turned his gaze to the gold-grade secret realm¡¯s gate, which was glowing with a golden light. however, before zuo yan could look over, he saw from the corner of his eye that the door to the secret realm had shattered until it collapsed with a loud bang, raising a large amount of dust and fog that blocked his vision. at the same time, two figures quickly left under the cover of the dust. ¡°boss, they look weak. why should we avoid them?¡± ye shuishui asked in puzzlement as she slowly stopped walking with bai zun, leaving zuo yan and the others far behind. they were very strong, so why did they hide from those seemingly weak players? ye shuishui doesn¡¯t know the truth. ¡°you¡¯re not poisoned?¡± bai zun sat cross-legged on the barren land, his forehead covered in cold sweat. he opened his eyes and glanced at ye shuishui. just now, the poisonous spider ¡°boss¡± in the gold-level secret realm chose to self-destruct before it died, catching bai zun off guard. his body was also stained with a lot of venom, and his combat strength rapidly decreased. ¡°poison?¡± ye shuishui was stunned for a moment and then shook her head. ¡°i can¡¯t feel anything.¡± that¡¯s right. when they were dealing with the poisonous spider ¡°boss,¡± ye shuishui stood far away. ¡°i¡¯ll detoxify the poison first. help me guard the surrounding safety!¡± bai zun didn¡¯t say much. he only gave a few instructions before closing his eyes and using his strength to force the poison out of his body. ye shuishui also summoned the gold-grade weapon ¡°poisonous handgun¡± that they obtained from the dead poisonous spider ¡°boss.¡± she was vigilant of her surroundings. on the other side, zuo yan and his four companions were still standing at the same spot, looking at the entrance to the secret realm that had just turned into ruins. they were stunned for a long time. ¡°what? why did it suddenly split open?¡± ¡°did any of you see anyone come out of the secret realm?¡± ¡°no¡­ i didn¡¯t see anyone¡­¡± ¡°me neither¡­¡± ¡°so, the secret realm collapsed on its own?¡± ¡°can the secret realm collapse on its own?¡± ¡°in other words, the few silver and bronze-grade secret realms that we saw didn¡¯t collapse because of man-made attacks, but because they collapsed on their own, huh?¡± ¡°uh¡­¡± for a moment, the teammates started to communicate. listening to their words, zuo yan heaved a sigh of relief. zuo yan thought, ¡°according to what we¡¯ve seen, the secret realms should have collapsed on their own.¡± ¡°there is no such thing as being continuously attacked by a certain person.¡± ¡°the strongest expert in autumn-water city is still me.¡± zuo yan unconsciously smiled. afterward, zuo yan waved his hand and called his team members to return home. on a desolate land outside the autumn-water city. bai zun was currently removing the last bit of poison. at the same time, bai zun squinted his eyes and looked at the attribute panel. a satisfied smile appeared on his face. in the past few days, bai zun and ye shuishui have been trying their best to conquer the secret realms. they had almost conquered all the secret realms around autumn-water city. bai zun¡¯s level had also risen from 95 to 117. bai zun was still three levels away from the level requirement of level 120 for the fourth transition. at the same time, bai zun had some doubts. the first feedback from the online game showed that bai zun was in his third transition and level 90. if nothing went wrong, the game¡¯s second feedback would show that he was in his sixth transition and level 180. however¡­ if he could complete the third to fourth transition before the second feedback, would he be able to inherit three more class advancements and be directly in the seventh transition when the second feedback began? bai zun thought about it, but he couldn¡¯t get a definite answer. he could only guess. no matter what, bai zun would know the answer after the second feedback. thus, bai zun¡¯s next mission was to advance to his fourth transition! three more levels left! bai zun showed a solemn look. by the time bai zun expelled the last trace of poison from his body, the sky was already dark. seeing bai zun stand up, ye shuishui¡¯s pretty face was filled with joy. she ran to bai zun¡¯s side and said, ¡°let¡¯s go home, boss. i¡¯m starving.¡± ¡°you go home first.¡± bai zun¡¯s reply startled ye shuishui. ye shuishui blinked, not understanding if bai zun was speaking in anger or if he was serious. ye shuishui asked tentatively, ¡°aren¡¯t you coming with me?¡± ¡°i still have something to do.¡± bai zun couldn¡¯t wait to break through the last three levels to achieve his fourth transition. after bai zun finished his words, his figure flashed, and he left. ye shuishui stood rooted to the spot. she was confused. however, since bai zun had already left, she had no choice but to go home alone. after clearing the secret realm dungeons with bai zun for a few days, ye shuishui¡¯s level had also reached 110. she was one of the best in the country, let alone in autumn-water city. since ye shuishui had such powerful strength, she felt a sense of security even though she was going home alone. even if ye shuishui encountered a ghost, she could blast it into a retard, let alone a human. ¡­ bai zun continued to conquer the gold-level secret realms. the bronze and silver-grade secret realms were almost cleared, and bai zun wouldn¡¯t be able to gain many experience points if he continued to clear them. therefore, his main goal was still clearing the gold-grade secret realms. however, the mutated beasts in the gold-grade secret realms were generally between level 60 and level 90. for bai zun, who was level 117, the experience points provided weren¡¯t enough. however, there was nothing bai zun could do about it. the strongest secret realms around autumn-water city were only gold-grade secret realms. he hadn¡¯t seen a single platinum-grade secret realm. since bai zun couldn¡¯t gain enough experience points in a certain secret realm, he could only make up for it by clearing many secret realms. in the middle of the night, inside the secret realm, bai zun slashed down with his sword and split a gold-grade ¡°boss¡± in half, announcing that the seventh gold-grade secret realm was about to collapse. at this moment, bai zun finally broke through the level 120 barrier! Chapter 15 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°i finally reached level 120.¡± bai zun looked at the attribute panel and smiled knowingly. after a night of hard work, bai zun could finally start his fourth transition. at the same time, the transition materials required for the fourth transition appeared on the attribute panel: [class advancement materials required for the fourth transition: the bones and skin of a thousand-year green python, the blood essence of a desert rat, and three drops of the flower juice of a ¡°ghost hand flower.¡±] the required materials for the transition weren¡¯t much. it only needed six materials. moreover¡­ aside from the ¡°bones and skin of a thousand-year green python,¡± bai zun had all the other materials in his storage bag. he had obtained them by clearing the secret realms over the past few days. ¡°i¡¯ll consider about it tomorrow.¡± without dragging his tired body, bai zun took a few deep breaths and urged his strength. he quickly rushed back to the villa. at this time, ye shuishui had just taken a shower and was eating fruit on the sofa in the living room with a towel wrapped around her. ¡°ding!¡± hearing the sound of the door lock being opened, ye shuishui was startled at first, but then she stopped chewing and looked at the door. her eyes met with bai zun¡¯s, who had pushed the door open and walked in. their eyes met, and the living room was silent for a few seconds. ye shuishui blushed and her ears turned red. afterward, ye shuishui quickly put down the pear in her hand, held the collar of the towel, and walked towards the guest room. bai zun only glanced at ye shuishui but didn¡¯t look at her for long. he didn¡¯t have any other thoughts. after ye shuishui left, bai zun picked up the apple on the fruit tray on the coffee table and took two bites. he stretched his muscles and bones on the spot and went back to his bedroom to sleep. the next morning. bai zun and ye shuishui woke up early and ate breakfast together at the dining table. while eating breakfast, ye shuishui¡¯s expression was still a little unnatural. bai zun¡¯s expression was indifferent, as usual. ¡°boss, what are we doing today?¡± ye shuishui coughed and broke the silence. bai zun replied indifferently, ¡°go to a faraway place to clear the secret realm dungeons.¡± the material required for the fourth transition, the ¡°bones, and skin of a thousand-year green python,¡± was a material that could only be obtained in a platinum-grade secret realm. they had already investigated the surroundings of autumn-water city, and at most, there were only gold-grade secret realms. ¡°oh.¡± ye shuishui nodded. the atmosphere turned silent. after a while, the two of them filled their stomachs and left the villa. when they were about to leave the autumn-water city, bai zun noticed that walls were being built. from the looks of it, they were going to seal off the entire city. in bai zun¡¯s previous life, regardless of whether it was autumn-water city or the various large cities of the dragon country, city walls were slowly built, turning ¡°cities¡± into ¡°cities with city walls.¡± after the city walls were completed, autumn-water city completed its transformation into another form. bai zun and ye shuishui quickly left the city. bai zun didn¡¯t stop as he passed by the entrances of many secret realms. ten minutes later, bai zun found the first platinum-grade secret realm¡¯s gate that was shining with platinum light. bai zun didn¡¯t hesitate and rushed inside with ye shuishui. bai zun appeared on an isolated island. the island was surrounded by the sea, and in the middle of the island was a dense rainforest. the rainforest was huge, so big that one couldn¡¯t see everything at a glance. in front of bai zun was a dense pile of fist-sized blue ants. bai zun knew that these were ¡°rainforest ants.¡± they were generally between level 90 and level 100, and their individual attack power was relatively weak. their defense was also relatively weak. the only advantage was that they were more than enough. looking around, there were at least 100,000 rainforest ants more than ten meters away from bai zun! however, it was only the situation at the periphery of the rainforest! the number of rainforest ants in the inner region was even more terrifying! however, bai zun wasn¡¯t going to make a move. bai zun had reached level 120, which was also the limit of the third transition. when he successfully reached the fourth transition, he could continue to gain experience points and increase his level. bai zun didn¡¯t want to waste the batch of experience points, so he called out to ye shuishui, ¡°i¡¯ll leave these rainforest ants to you! i¡¯ll support you!¡± as soon as bai zun finished speaking, he rushed out before ye shuishui could react. ye shuishui quickly summoned her gold-grade weapon, the ¡°poisonous handgun.¡± afterward¡­ ye shuishui released her purple level skill, the bizarre bullet suppression! ¡°whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!¡± in ye shuishui¡¯s hands, the ¡°poisonous handgun¡± became a gatling gun. energy gathered, and bullets shot one after another as if they were endless. under the suppression of the powerful firepower, the periphery of the rainforest¡¯s rainforest ants were all cleared out in a short while. bai zun also brought ye shuishui into the inner regions. sure enough, as bai zun had expected, the number of rainforest ants in the inner regions was even more terrifying. with just a glance, there were millions of them! following the same method, ye shuishui then released the ¡°bizarre bullet suppression¡± skill. it took longer than the time spent on the periphery, but fortunately, they had cleared out all the rainforest ants. as they continued to venture deeper, the number of rainforest ants increased. ye shuishui only needed to turn her head slightly to see countless rainforest ant corpses lying on the ground. finally, they arrived at the nest of the secret realm¡¯s ¡°boss,¡± the ¡°rainforest ant queen.¡± after killing so many rainforest ants, ye shuishui had barely reached level 112. facing the level 120 mutated beast ¡°boss¡± in the platinum-grade secret realm, she subconsciously felt a little afraid. however, bai zun had already raised his sword. the five elements domain, the five elements sword technique, and the five elements crime¡­ under the bombardment of obsidian level and crimson level skills, the rainforest ant queen couldn¡¯t last 30 seconds before bai zun chopped off its head. afterward, it was dead. after picking up the equipment and items obtained from the death of the rainforest ant queen, bai zun left without looking back and signaled ye shuishui to follow him. they spent the rest of the time grinding in secret realms. bai zun stopped in front of the door of a secret realm that flashed with dazzling white light. ¡°is¡­ is this a diamond-grade secret realm?¡± ye shuishui recognized the grade of the secret realm gate at a glance. bai zun didn¡¯t say anything. he just frowned and stared at a corner of the diamond-grade secret realm¡¯s door. there was an obvious crack in that corner. however, it was the only crack. the mutated beasts in the diamond-grade secret realm were generally between level 120 and level 150. any random monster would be higher level than bai zun, let alone the level 150 ¡°boss¡± in the secret realm. with bai zun¡¯s current strength, if he tried to force his way in, he might succeed, but there was also the risk of failing and dying in the secret realm. bai zun felt he had better wait until he was in his fourth transition. bai zun shook his head and left with ye shuishui to continue to search for the platinum-grade secret realms that could provide him with the ¡°bones and skin of a thousand-year green python.¡± however¡­ soon after they left, another corner of the diamond-grade secret realm¡¯s gate began to shatter. however, only a few stones were broken. it wasn¡¯t a big deal. ¡­ as the player¡¯s management office of autumn-water city recruited more players, the great benefits attracted almost 40% of the players in the city. it was also because of the increasing number of official players that the chaos in autumn-water city was slowly curbed. in the player¡¯s management office, chief zuo yan was drinking tea in his office. before zuo yan could take a sip of the freshly brewed flower tea, he was interrupted by his subordinate, who didn¡¯t even knock on the door and had a hurried expression. ¡°chief! chief!¡± ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± zuo yan swept his gaze over the table coldly and put down the teacup. ¡°here¡¯s the situation¡­¡± the subordinate¡¯s expression was pale as he moved closer. ¡°you said that there¡¯s a diamond-grade secret realm ten kilometers away from autumn-water city?¡± zuo yan¡¯s face turned pale. Chapter 16 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°yes.¡± the subordinate frowned and said, ¡°half of the secret realm has already been shattered.¡± ¡°half of it has been shattered¡­¡± zuo yan couldn¡¯t help but gasp. one had to know that the mutated beasts in the diamond-grade secret realm were all between level 120 and level 150. zuo yan is only level 66 now. even if his level doubled, he couldn¡¯t guarantee that he could stop a small monster in a diamond-grade secret realm! he slowly sat down, crossed his arms, and looked solemn. the atmosphere in the office was oppressive. zuo yan didn¡¯t speak, and his subordinate didn¡¯t dare to leave casually. ¡°pass on my orders. speed up the construction of the city walls. moreover¡­¡± zuo yan said in a deep voice, ¡°report to the surrounding cities to request reinforcements!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± the subordinate replied solemnly and left. ¡­ after a few days of hard work, bai zun finally found a secret realm that could provide him with the last class transition material¡ªthe bizarre snake secret realm. bai zun and ye shuishui stepped on the corpses of the monsters and soon arrived in front of the ¡°boss.¡± ¡°foolish human, you want to be swallowed into my stomach and become my¡­ uh.¡± the ¡°boss¡± of the secret realm, the thousand-year-green python, had its head chopped off by bai zun before it could even say a word of forgiveness. on the side, ye shuishui didn¡¯t show much emotion as she watched bai zun¡¯s domineering sword attack. there was no other reason other than seeing too much. bai zun, on the other hand, had finally obtained the last material of his fourth transition next to the corpse of the thousand-year-green python¡ªthe bones and skin of a thousand-year-green python. putting away the materials, bai zun and ye shuishui quickly left before the secret realm collapsed. afterward, they rushed back to the villa without stopping. ¡°i need some time to complete my class transition. during this time, don¡¯t let others disturb me.¡± bai zun solemnly instructed ye shuishui before entering seclusion for the fourth transition. ye shuishui nodded vigorously. afterward, bai zun locked himself in the study room and began his transition. although the class transition required time, bai zun wasn¡¯t sure exactly how long it would take because everyone needed different amounts of time to complete their class transition at each stage. in bai zun¡¯s previous life, when he was still a swordsman, it took him more than a day to complete the fourth transition. ¡°i wonder how long it will take for the holy swordsman class transition?¡± bai zun took a few deep breaths and sat cross-legged on the ground. he was already prepared for a long period of seclusion. ye shuishui, on the other hand, laid down on her bed in a relaxed manner, thinking that she could finally have a good rest in the next few days. ye shuishui had been following bai zun for the past few days, either going down to the secret realm or on the way down. she was exhausted. however, the harvest was quite rich. not only had ye shuishui reached level 120 and met the requirements for the fourth transition, but she had also obtained a platinum-grade pistol and a spatial ring. lying on the bed, ye shuishui chatted with her mother for a while. after making sure that everything was fine, she ended the conversation and started playing with her phone. after the game invaded reality, although the internet had once been unstable, it was quickly restored. ye shuishui looked at the full signal and refreshed weibo without any pressure. it was fine if ye shuishui didn¡¯t scroll it. when she scrolled through weibo, she was shocked. the first two headlines were related to bai zun. ¡°mysterious! why did the secret realms around autumn-water city collapse and disappear? who is the super expert hiding in autumn-water city?¡± ¡°who is the strongest player in the dragon country at present? the mysterious expert of autumn-water city has something to say.¡± ¡°sentai city encountered a mutated beast tide! the mutated beasts were generally above level 60! the players in sentai city are fighting back with all their might!¡± ¡°i am the mayor of sentai city! i am asking for help from all players on the internet! sentai city really can¡¯t hold on any longer!¡± ye shuishui opened the first two posts slightly and saw that they seemed to be marketing accounts. other than guessing, no information could be found at all. some speculated that the one who attacked the secret realms around autumn-water city might not be a human but a huge mutated beast. you¡¯re the mutated beast! your entire family is a mutated beast! ye shuishui, who attacked the secret realm with bai zun, expressed her dissatisfaction. afterward, she reported the account that posted it. afterward, her gaze shifted to the next two posts. ¡°sentai city¡­ is it about to fall?¡± opening the post and looking at the text and pictures of the disaster in sentai city, ye shuishui couldn¡¯t help but frown and look worried. a level 60 mutated beast? from ye shuishui¡¯s perspective, this kind of mutated beast was something that she could easily manipulate. however, it caused a huge disaster for other cities. perhaps ye shuishui had been by bai zun¡¯s side ever since the invasion of the game and had the strength to back her up, so she didn¡¯t think there was anything to be afraid of. however¡­ for those unarmed ordinary people, it was no different from the end of the world. ye shuishui couldn¡¯t help but admire bai zun even more as she flipped through the pictures of the disaster scene one after another. if it weren¡¯t for bai zun forcefully ordering her to play ¡°dimensional space¡± a few days before the game invasion and even transferring money to reload her account, she would probably be living in the trauma of the mutated beast all the time, hiding here and there to survive. ¡°boss¡­¡± ye shuishui bit her lower lip with a complicated look in her eyes. ye shuishui was constantly reading the news and trying to figure out a strategy. what ye shuishui didn¡¯t know was that once the second feedback began, she would have to take on the role of ¡°vice president¡± and help bai zun out, becoming the best tool. ¡­ two days passed in the blink of an eye. zuo yan thought that today would be as peaceful as usual. however¡­ a team of players who were attacking the secret realm outside the autumn-water city suddenly sent a message. ¡°you say¡­ the diamond-grade secret realm that we saw earlier¡­¡± zuo yan¡¯s eyes widened, and his heart raced. he said, ¡°it¡¯s broken?!¡± ¡°yes.¡± the team leader who came to report was also terrified. the weakest monster in the diamond-grade secret realm was level 120. not to mention the level 150 ¡°boss,¡± a single monster was enough to wipe out the entire autumn-water city! no one could stop it! zuo yan hurriedly asked, ¡°has anyone found traces of a diamond-grade mutated beast?¡± meanwhile, his right eyelid twitched. ¡°yes¡­¡± the team leader¡¯s expression was pale. ¡°i recently learned that some terrifying mutated beasts with levels greater than 100 destroyed sentai city, which is some distance from autumn-water city.¡± ¡°why didn¡¯t you tell me about such an important matter earlier?!¡± zuo yan slammed the table. the team leader said, ¡°it seems like it only happened less than ten minutes ago¡­¡± afterward, zuo yan picked up his phone and made a call. ¡°how¡¯s the situation in sentai city?!¡± ¡°sentai city¡­¡± the person on the other end of the phone hesitated and finally sighed. ¡°the city is hopeless, but the residents have been transferred to other places. they are still safe for the time being.¡± ¡°check on it! hurry up and check on the situation!¡± zuo yan panted heavily, and he said anxiously, ¡°check the location of the group of level 100 mutated beasts that attacked sentai city!¡± ¡°you¡¯re afraid¡­ you¡¯re afraid that the group of level 100 mutated beasts will come to autumn-water city?¡± hearing zuo yan¡¯s words, the person on the other end of the phone was a little worried. ¡°check on it!¡± zuo yan wasn¡¯t in the mood to explain. he ordered again and hung up the phone. afterward, he waved to the side and said to the player who came over, ¡°inform everyone! all the players of the player¡¯s management office have come to the south square for a meeting!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± the player then left. zuo yan also left the office. Chapter 17 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation half an hour later. outside the autumn-water city, one could vaguely see the thick fog rolling and gradually approaching. the scene was recorded by people in the suburbs and uploaded to tiktok. [drawing papers: what is this? can¡¯t the blogger get closer and take a clearer video?] [sanitary napkin: that¡¯s right, blogger, go closer. what can we see if you take the video like this? it¡¯s foggy.] [moistening my lips: i¡¯m impressed. if you don¡¯t know how to shoot, can you give up? you¡¯re wasting my time watching videos.] [alarm: this¡­ it looks a little familiar. i used to live in sentai city. due to the mutated beast tide, i was forced to leave sentai city a few minutes ago. i¡¯m on my way to move now. if i remember correctly, before the group of level 100 mutated beasts that forced us to move to another city arrived, the same thick fog as in the video appeared outside sentai city.] [orochimaru: fuck!

zuo yan¡¯s gaze gradually became firm. he stood up and left the meeting room. after the meeting, the players of the player¡¯s management office received the same order¡ªhead to the south gate of autumn-water city! however, no one knew how many players would go. when zuo yan arrived at the south gate, he saw dozens of players scattered around. one had to know that there were hundreds of players in the player¡¯s management office¡­ since zuo yan had expected it, he didn¡¯t have any other feelings. he just took a few deep breaths and walked toward the dozens of players. ¡°chief!¡± ¡°chief zuo!¡± seeing zuo yan, the players all approached him. ¡°how¡¯s the situation?¡± zuo yan glanced at them first, then turned his gaze to look outside the city gate. the dust was getting thicker and thicker. the level 100 mutated beasts were probably about to arrive. ¡°the equipment department has already bombarded them with artillery shells, but¡­¡± a player answered with a pale expression, ¡°it¡¯s useless. it¡¯s useless at all.¡± normal cannonballs wouldn¡¯t pose much of a threat to level 100 mutated beasts. zuo yan had already expected this. he only looked at it with deep eyes and didn¡¯t say anything. he stretched out his hand and summoned a silver-grade greatsword, gradually approaching the city gate. behind him, the players looked at each other. they could see the hesitation, struggle, and fear in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°if you want to leave, leave now.¡± zuo yan suddenly stopped and turned around. his voice was deep but loud, ¡°i just gave the order to let everyone in the city escape if they can. anlong city, which is not far from autumn-water city, is ready to receive them.¡± ¡°if you want to leave, leave now!¡± in an instant, zuo yan seemed to have aged more than ten years, and his voice was filled with the fatigue of age. dozens of players lowered their heads. immediately after, a player began to leave the team. slowly, it was the second and the third¡­ until there were only five people left. zuo yan looked back at them and didn¡¯t say anything. he turned around with his greatsword in hand and looked at the approaching level 100 mutated beast tide. the remaining five people who chose to die also summoned their weapons with determined expressions. one second, two seconds¡­ the level 100 mutated beast tide was about to reach the city gate. zuo yan¡¯s murky eyes were filled with a faint hope of survival. behind him, the five players who chose to stay were also fearless. however¡­ just as the level 100 mutated beast tide was about to reach the city gate and zuo yan was ready to die¡­ a huge, blood-red, and mighty sword phantom descended with a bang! ¡°boom!¡± the level 100 mutated beast tide was stopped! seeing the scene, zuo yan was stunned. the five players behind him were also stunned. this¡­ what was going on? zuo yan and the others couldn¡¯t help but look up into the sky. a domineering figure holding a longsword that was flashing with golden light, accompanied by a few gray sword phantoms, was descending toward the center of the mutated beast tide! it was bai zun. bai zun had just completed his fourth transition when he felt a strong threat from the mutated beasts. following that, bai zun was informed by ye shuishui that a group of level 100 mutated beasts were attacking autumn-water city. everything happened suddenly, and ye shuishui was in complete panic. bai zun didn¡¯t delay. he used all his strength and flew toward the south gate at the fastest speed. afterward, the previous situation happened. bai zun had only dealt with the level 100 mutated beasts at the front using the ¡°great earth sword technique.¡± large groups of level 100 mutated beasts were still coming in from behind. bai zun descended with the sword in his hand and smashed heavily into the ground. he stood up in the huge pit filled with dust and fog. bai zun¡¯s appearance also forced the mutated beasts to stop. many level 100 mutated beasts stared at bai zun, roaring continuously. however, bai zun was smiling. bai zun glanced at the attribute panel and narrowed his eyes. Chapter 18 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation [id: bai zun] [class: earthy holy swordsman (fourth transition)] [level: level 120] [skills: great earth sword technique (obsidian level), earth domain (crimson level), earth calamity (crimson level), myriad worlds (crimson level), earthquake manifestation (gilded level)] ¡­ the fourth transition, the earthy holy swordsman! bai zun was quite satisfied with the results of using the great earth sword technique. next¡­ it was time to test bai zun¡¯s strength as a fourth transition player! bai zun¡¯s eyes immediately regained their coldness. the earth domain¡­ unleash! the great earth sword technique¡­ wrath! ¡°boom!¡± dust and mist rippled as the earth domain spread out with bai zun as the center of gravity, enveloping the group of level 100 mutated beasts! the power of the earth surged and turned into the shadows of gray hands, grabbing the ankles of level 100 mutated beasts one after another, restricting their movements. right after that, the broad earthen sword ray rolled through the level 100 mutated beast tide, cutting off their heads, and blood fell like rain! zuo yan and the others were dumbfounded when looking at the scene beside the city wall. now¡­ what the heck was going on?! this! zuo yan was completely dumbfounded. zuo yan looked at bai zun¡¯s domineering back, who blocked tens of thousands of mutated beasts, and a hint of yearning rippled in his eyes. at the same time. in the city. a few minutes before the arrival of the mutated beast tide, the citizens who received the news of the evacuation began to pack their important items in a panic. afterward, they fled to the north gate in a panic. perhaps the mutated beasts were getting closer and closer. they could even feel the ground shaking. the magnitude of the tremors was getting more and more exaggerated. the ignorant citizens became even more frightened when they heard the screams of the mutated beasts coming from the south. ¡°run! run for your lives! the mutated beast tide is coming!¡± ¡°they¡¯re all level 100 and above-mutated beasts! they¡¯re all level 100 and above!¡± ¡°run! run for your lives! sentai city was destroyed by these bastards!¡± ¡°wait, was the son of the fifth brother¡¯s family running in front?¡± ¡°yes, i remember that his son is a player, though. why didn¡¯t he go to the south gate to stop the mutated beast tide? why did he run with us? why does he seem to be running faster than me?¡± ¡°stop babbling! run! autumn-water city is hopeless! even the players had almost run away!¡± ¡°we¡¯re doomed! we¡¯re doomed!¡± the citizens were running, and so were the players. the panic spread and became stronger until it broke everyone¡¯s psychological defense. however¡­ apart from the south gate, a group of level 100 mutated beasts also swarmed over from the north gate. seeing the group of level 100 mutated beasts rushing towards the north gate, not to mention the ordinary people, even the players who were running away with them were freaked out. as players, they were all clear about the terror of the level 100 mutated beasts. at this stage, they couldn¡¯t even deal with level 20 to level 30 mutated beasts. they didn¡¯t even dare imagine how powerful the level 100 mutated beasts were! ¡°dad, you guys go first. don¡¯t worry about me¡­¡± a child in a wheelchair cried out in despair. ¡°you guys go first! i¡¯ll stop these bastards!¡± a player pushed his wife and children away, gritting his teeth as he tried to stop the mutated beasts with his life. the same scene was happening in many places. the citizens who had just run out of the north gate were forced to return to the city gate. the citizens who had yet to leave the city gate were filled with despair. watching the group of level 100 mutated beasts get closer and closer, almost everyone was in despair. they couldn¡¯t see any hope of survival. however¡­ just as the level 100 mutated beasts were about to surge into the city gate¡­ ¡°boom!¡± ¡°boom! boom! boom!¡± the sound of cannonballs rang out. immediately after, a delicate figure appeared at the north gate, holding a golden pistol in her hand. looking at the city gate, the level 100 mutated beasts closest to it were all dead or injured. however, it was only the beginning. ye shuishui kept casting her skills when many people were watching her. she released cannonballs one after another, bombarding the mutated beasts without stopping! ¡°aaargh!¡± ¡°argh!¡± ¡°aargh!¡± the mutated beasts screamed incessantly, provoking everyone¡¯s nerves. the citizens in front of the city gate were dumbfounded. after being stunned for a long time, someone finally reacted. ¡°this¡­ why is this girl so powerful?¡± ¡°there¡¯s hope. we¡¯ll be saved!¡± ¡°don¡¯t be happy too early. can a girl like her save us?¡± ¡°yeah, so what if she kills all the mutated beasts here?

what¡¯s going on?!¡± ¡°hurry up and tell us!¡± ¡°there was a player who stopped the mutated beast tide with a sword¡­ forget it! i can¡¯t explain it clearly. everyone, just go to the south gate and take a look yourself!¡± ¡°anyway, we¡¯re safe!¡± ¡°really?¡± ¡°let¡¯s go! everyone, let¡¯s go! let¡¯s go to the south gate and take a look!¡± immediately, the citizens were overjoyed and clamored to head to the south city gate to check on the situation. at this moment, bai zun was in the air. looking at the large number of bloody corpses on the ground as well as the heads that were still moving in front of him, there were at least tens of thousands of mutated beasts. he couldn¡¯t help but feel tired. afterward, bai zun slowly raised his sword. following that, rays of red light, blue light, and yellow light¡­ the light mixed and gathered on the sword. sensing the power of the sword, the group of level 100 mutated beasts struggled frantically in panic. they wanted to turn around and run away, but they were unable to do so because the earth domain¡¯s palm phantom had a firm hold on their ankles. they could only watch helplessly as the huge sword phantom in bai zun¡¯s hand slowly grew larger and condensed into an increasingly dense light. until¡­ it fell with a bang! ¡°buzz!¡± ¡°boom!¡± buzzing sounds and explosions rang out simultaneously. in the next second, the group of level 100 mutated beasts¡¯ expressions turned dull. afterward, their bodies exploded! the crimson level skill, myriad worlds! at the same time, bai zun¡¯s cold gaze fell on the back of the large pile of corpses. it was the giant bull, which was several times larger than the other mutated beasts and was roaring angrily at him. it was a level 150 ¡°boss,¡± the azure-dragon bull! without any hesitation, bai zun¡¯s figure flashed and followed the sword shadow, stabbing straight at the giant bull! in addition to zuo yan and the others, many citizens had already heard the commotion and seen the previous scene at this point. ¡°this! this! this!¡± ¡°forgive me for being uncultured, but i can only say that he is awesome!¡± ¡°one move! one strike! he just simply destroyed all the mutated beasts?!¡± ¡°no! there¡¯s still one mutated beast that hasn¡¯t been killed!¡± ¡°that¡¯s the mutated beast¡¯s ¡®boss!¡¯ it¡¯s at least level 140!¡± ¡°look! the expert is heading towards the mutated beast ¡®boss¡¯!¡± the citizens stared at bai zun¡¯s back. meanwhile, shock and reverence almost overflowed from their eyes. the level 150 azure-dragon bull¡¯s massive horn and bai zun¡¯s seven-colored greatsword¡¯s shadow had already collided at this point. Chapter 19 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation everyone saw the phantom of a seven-colored sword in bai zun¡¯s hand, which seemed to be bent by the impact of the bull horns. everyone clenched their fists, feeling nervous for bai zun. however¡­ in the next second. the seven-colored greatsword straightened and directly chopped off the azure-dragon bull¡¯s horn! for a moment, the people behind the city wall cheered. ¡°invincible! even a level 100 mutated beast ¡®boss¡¯ is nothing!¡± ¡°expert, kill it!¡± ¡°we¡¯re saved! we¡¯re saved!¡± ¡°the expert is invincible!¡± some people cheered excitedly, while others cried tears of joy. even zuo yan heaved a heavy sigh of relief. his tensed nerves were completely relaxed after the seven-colored sword phantom cut off the bull¡¯s horn and entered the neck of the azure-dragon bull. zuo yan could see bai zun chopping off the head of the azure-dragon bull outside the city wall. his domineering figure stood in the air, holding a huge sword in his hand, like a sword immortal descending to the mortal world. the citizens¡¯ eyes were filled with admiration. some of them took out their phones and wanted to take a photo of this memorable scene. bai zun had noticed a large group of citizens outside the city wall when he was slaughtering the mutated beast tide. after killing the azure-dragon bull, he glanced behind him indifferently and then went to the side of the azure-dragon bull¡¯s corpse to find the rewarded equipment. [azure-dragon bull sword: diamond-grade weapon. forged from the hardest horn of the azure-dragon bull. the sword is extremely heavy. it was said in the legends that only those with the strength of a giant bull are worthy of using it.] [azure-dragon treasure ring: diamond-grade weapon. forged from the hardest tooth of the azure-dragon bull. it contains the ice-blue level skill, the ¡°azure-dragon first sword.¡± the skill can be learned after wearing it.] [¡­] to be honest, the azure-dragon bull had rewarded quite a few good items. there were three or four diamond-grade weapons, but apart from the azure-dragon bull sword, bai zun didn¡¯t have anything else that he could use. although the azure-dragon treasure ring had an additional skill, bai zun looked down on the ice-blue level skill. after putting all the equipment and tools into the goblin king¡¯s exclusive storage bag, bai zun turned around and was about to soar into the sky. ¡°expert, please slow down!¡± suddenly, a loud shout came from the city gate. bai zun turned his gaze slightly and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties hurrying over. zuo yan approached bai zun with a fawning smile and asked cautiously, ¡°hi expert, i¡¯m the chief of autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office. may i ask if you have any intention of joining the player¡¯s management office?¡± bai zun was much more powerful than him, so much so that zuo yan could feel a suffocating pressure just by standing in front of bai zun. zuo yan showed a great attitude. however¡­ bai zun shook his head. bai zun¡¯s voice was calm, without a trace of kindness. ¡°is there anything else?¡± bai zun shook his head as a sign of rejection. zuo yan was a smart man, so he didn¡¯t ask any more questions and immediately gave up on the idea of inviting bai zun to join the player¡¯s management office. at the same time, zuo yan asked the last question, ¡°may i know your name, expert?¡± name? the corners of bai zun¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile, revealing his domineering and absolute confidence. ¡°just call me lord of the sword.¡± lord of the sword! hearing the name, zuo yan was stunned for a second. before the game was invaded, zuo yan was considered an expert player of ¡°dimensional space,¡± so he was familiar with the name lord of the sword. wasn¡¯t the lord of the sword ranked first on the five great rankings?! this! zuo yan almost had admiration written in his eyes. without waiting for zuo yan to ask any more questions, bai zun soared into the sky like a sword and disappeared into the clouds. zuo yan¡¯s gaze followed him until he could no longer see bai zun¡¯s figure in the clear sky. ¡°lord of the sword!¡± zuo yan clenched his fists tightly and didn¡¯t relax for a long time. a touch of excitement flowed from his face. it turned out that the lord of the sword was in autumn-water city! moreover¡­ lord of the sword could instantly kill a level 150 diamond-grade secret realm¡¯s ¡°boss¡±! instantly, zuo yan felt relieved. from the situation, the one who repelled the mutated beast tide on the first night of the game invasion and the one who conquered the hundreds of secret realms around autumn-water city was lord of the sword. lord of the sword¡­ living in autumn-water city! with such a powerful player in charge, zuo yan was no longer afraid that autumn-water city would follow in the footsteps of sentai city. because¡­ the lord of the sword was invincible! the excitement on zuo yan¡¯s face didn¡¯t diminish. he couldn¡¯t wait to tell the others that the lord of the sword was in the autumn-water city! ¡­ after the fourth transformation, bai zun¡¯s speed also increased substantially. bai zun rushed back to the villa and saw that ye shuishui hadn¡¯t returned yet. he poured a glass of water and sat down on the sofa. although ye shuishui hadn¡¯t completed her fourth transition, she was still level 120. with her class and equipment, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to deal with some diamond-grade monsters. therefore, bai zun wasn¡¯t worried at all. also¡­ the reason bai zun told zuo yan about his true identity was because he had considered it. as bai zun expected, the second round of feedback would begin in another day or two. at that time, he would no longer be afraid of firearms, as he had officially inherited the strength of a sixth transition player. moreover¡­ the second feedback would be from the equipment and guild system. equipment and tools could raise bai zun¡¯s strength to another level. the guild system was the most important part of the second feedback. exposing his identity a few days in advance could also prepare for the recruitment of guild members. ¡°when shuishui comes back, i have to talk to her about managing the guild.¡± bai zun muttered as he sat on the sofa. as the saying goes, one needs to train an army for a thousand days to use it for a moment. bai zun had trained ye shuishui to her current level. in the future, when the guild system descended, even if he wasn¡¯t in the guild for a short time, with ye shuishui overseeing and managing it, the guild wouldn¡¯t have any problems. soon, ye shuishui returned to the villa. as soon as ye shuishui entered, she saw bai zun sitting on the sofa. ¡°boss, i¡¯ve killed all the mutated beasts at the north gate!¡± ye shuishui clasped her hands behind her back and smiled as she took credit. ¡°well done.¡± bai zun nodded and praised her. afterward, he changed the topic and said, ¡°come over here. i have something to tell you.¡± ¡°hehe.¡± ye shuishui¡¯s smile grew wider after being praised by her boss. she walked lightly to the sofa and asked curiously, ¡°what¡¯s the matter, boss?¡± ¡°the second round of feedback is about to begin.¡± in the next few hours, bai zun told ye shuishui in detail what she had to do as the vice president of the guild after the second feedback. ye shuishui listened attentively. ¡°that¡¯s about it.¡± bai zun clapped his hands, his gaze shifting from the draft filled with words on the coffee table to ye shuishui, and asked, ¡°what materials do you lack for your fourth transition?¡± ye shuishui had also reached level 120, but due to a lack of materials, she hadn¡¯t completed her fourth class transition. ye shuishui thought for a moment and said, ¡°i¡¯m still missing a ghost snake¡¯s eyeball.¡± bai zun said, ¡°after dinner, we¡¯ll go look for it.¡± ¡°uh-huh!¡± ¡­ the news of bai zun killing a level 150 mutated beast ¡°boss¡± with a single sword strike quickly caused heated discussions on the internet. the netizens were all shocked, surprised, and doubtful. soon, the dragon country¡¯s officials received the news. in an office with a sign on the door that read ¡°dragon country official player¡¯s alliance creation office.¡± a middle-aged man and a white-haired old man were sitting opposite each other. in front of them was a chess game. ¡°have you heard it? the champion of the five rankings of the game ¡®dimensional space,¡¯ lord of the sword, had appeared in autumn-water city.¡± the old man was expressionless as he moved his chess piece forward. ¡°i¡¯ve heard about it.¡± the middle-aged man lowered his head and moved his horse. ¡°as i said before, only the strongest person in the dragon country can be the chief of the player¡¯s alliance established by the official. otherwise, it won¡¯t be enough to convince the masses.¡± the old man moved the cannon chess piece to knock off the middle-aged man¡¯s horse chess piece. as his fingers left the chess piece, he slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man with an indifferent expression. Chapter 20 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°you mean¡­¡± the middle-aged man¡¯s gaze slowly left the chessboard and met the old man¡¯s gaze. ¡°do you want the lord of the sword to be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance?¡± ¡°yes.¡± the old man¡¯s gaze was indifferent as if it were a certainty that bai zun would be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance. ¡°you will be the one to settle this.¡± ¡°yes.¡± the middle-aged man nodded and replied solemnly. afterward, he stood up and left. ¡­ on the other side. after dinner. bai zun and ye shuishui didn¡¯t stay idle. they left the villa to conquer the platinum-grade secret realm. ye shuishui still lacked the ¡°ghost snake¡¯s eyeball¡± to complete her fourth transition. if bai zun remembered it correctly, the ¡°ghost snake¡¯s eyeball¡± could be found in the platinum-grade secret realm, the ghost snake secret realm. before this, bai zun and ye shuishui had almost finished conquering the platinum-grade secret realms around autumn-water city. to find the ghost snake secret realm, they expanded their search area. slowly, they arrived in autumn-forest county and brought ye shuishui¡¯s mother, he qin, to the villa. when he qin learned that the reason her daughter was so powerful was all because of bai zun, she immediately knelt to thank him, but he pulled her up in time. it was true that bai zun had trained ye shuishui from the beginning, but he also had a purpose. he really couldn¡¯t afford ye shuishui¡¯s mother¡¯s appreciation. there were many rooms in the villa. he qin picked one randomly and started tidying up with ye shuishui. as for bai zun, he returned to his bedroom, sat down at his desk, and gently rubbed his temples. the surrounding platinum-grade secret realms had been destroyed, but they still couldn¡¯t find the ghost snake secret realm. the second feedback would be the day after tomorrow. even if they found it in these two days, ye shuishui wouldn¡¯t have time to absorb it and advance. ¡°just let it be.¡± bai zun¡¯s eyes were indifferent as he decided to give up. however, his efforts over the past few days haven¡¯t been in vain. while conquering the silver-grade secret realms, he also obtained many silver-grade weapons and tools. these would be the capitals to arm his guild in the future. it was already late at night, and bai zun didn¡¯t think much about it. after washing up, he fell asleep. the next day. ye shuishui had just woken up when she was attracted by a knock on the door. without opening the door, ye shuishui looked through the peephole and saw a kind-looking middle-aged man standing outside. knowing that ye shuishui was standing in front of the door, the middle-aged man smiled and said, ¡°hello, is this mr. bai¡¯s house?¡± ye shuishui said warily, ¡°who are you?¡± the middle-aged man introduced himself and said, ¡°i¡¯m from the dragon country official player¡¯s alliance creation office. i¡¯m here to discuss something with mr. bai.¡± someone from the dragon country officials? hearing this, ye shuishui was stunned at first, then she said warily, ¡°alright, wait outside. i¡¯ll inform my boss.¡± ¡°sorry for the trouble.¡± the middle-aged man¡¯s attitude was quite good. as ye shuishui finished speaking, she didn¡¯t wear any socks. she stepped on her snow-white little feet and knocked on the door of bai zun¡¯s bedroom. ¡°boss, someone is looking for you outside¡­¡± through the door, ye shuishui told bai zun about the middle-aged man. bai zun responded in a deep voice, and ye shuishui returned to the door. she opened the door and let the middle-aged man sit in the living room for a while. ¡°tell me, why are the officials looking for me?¡± bai zun adjusted his collar. the moment he saw the middle-aged man on the sofa, a smile appeared on his face. just now, from ye shuishui¡¯s report, bai zun also learned that the middle-aged man came from the ¡°player¡¯s alliance creation office.¡± just by hearing the name, bai zun could tell what the middle-aged man¡¯s intention was. it wasn¡¯t anything other than wanting bai zun to join the official player¡¯s alliance creation office. if it were his previous life, bai zun would have joined without hesitation. it was because the player¡¯s alliance not only symbolized the country but also symbolized that even at the end of the game, they could still obtain better social welfare. however, things are different now. bai zun wanted to establish his guild and launch the bloodiest counterattack against the mutated beast clan! therefore, bai zun couldn¡¯t be restricted by others. if bai zun joined the player¡¯s alliance, not to mention other positions, even if he was the leader of the alliance, he would be restricted by power to a certain extent. it wasn¡¯t what he wanted. although bai zun had decided not to join the player¡¯s alliance, he didn¡¯t chase the middle-aged man away directly. instead, he sat opposite the middle-aged man. bai zun asked first, ¡°what should i call you?¡± ¡°wang yi. lord of the sword, you can just call me xiao wang.¡± even though bai zun was much younger than him, the middle-aged man kept a very low profile. before wang yi spoke, bai zun went straight to the point and asked, ¡°what are you here for this time?¡± hearing this, wang yi was slightly stunned. wang yi thought that he would have to exchange a few rounds of pleasantries before he could get to the point. wang yi hadn¡¯t expected bai zun to be so straightforward. ¡°it¡¯s like this.¡± wang yi tried his best to make his smile look kind and said, ¡°the officials are preparing to create a player¡¯s alliance to organize all the players in the dragon country to maintain social stability and the safety of the citizens.¡± ¡°get to the point.¡± bai zun interrupted. ¡°hmm¡­ we would like to invite you to be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance.¡± wang yi smiled awkwardly. ¡°what are the benefits of being the alliance leader?¡± bai zun¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°of course there are.¡± seeing that there was a chance of winning over bai zun, wang yi quickly counted his fingers and said, ¡°if you become the alliance leader, you will have an official background, and your status in the dragon country will be much higher.¡± in the next few seconds, wang yi was talking about the benefits of becoming the leader of the player¡¯s alliance. however, bai zun was expressionless throughout. bai zun didn¡¯t seem interested at all. the more wang yi spoke, the more awkward he felt. wang yi said carefully after finishing his last sentence, ¡°what¡­ what do you think?¡± ¡°i won¡¯t be the alliance leader, but i can reach an agreement with you verbally.¡± bai zun smiled and said in a domineering manner, ¡°if the dragon country encounters a major disaster, i will help out. however, there are conditions.¡± ¡°what are the conditions?¡± when wang yi heard bai zun say that he wasn¡¯t going to be the alliance leader, his nerves tensed up, and his thoughts couldn¡¯t help but follow bai zun¡¯s words. ¡°the condition is¡­¡± bai zun smirked and said, ¡°the government has to unconditionally provide all the resources i need.¡± ¡°that¡¯s easy.¡± wang yi agreed readily. as long as they could rope bai zun in to work for the officials, everything would be fine. afterward, wang yi wanted to continue discussing the matter of inviting bai zun to be the leader of the alliance. ¡°that¡­ don¡¯t you want to reconsider? even if you become the alliance leader, it won¡¯t take up too much of your time.¡± wang yi refused to give up. however, bai zun vetoed the idea and said, ¡°you should choose someone else to become the alliance leader.¡± ¡°do you really refuse to do it¡­¡± wang yi still wanted to invite bai zun to become the alliance leader. ¡°i don¡¯t want to say the same thing a third time.¡± bai zun¡¯s eyes turned cold. instantly, a strong pressure fell on wang yi¡¯s shoulder. wang yi shut his mouth and smiled bitterly. he said that he wanted to make a call to contact his superiors and left with his phone. meanwhile, bai zun was sitting on the sofa and waiting. tomorrow will be the second round of feedback. at that time, equipment and the guild system would descend. one had to know that, to build a super guild, the number of players was indispensable. moreover, for the guild members to focus on working for the guild, their families and relatives should follow them and live in the guild city. not only could the guild city ensure the basic safety of ordinary people, but it was also a weakness that bai zun could use to control the guild members. when a guild member rebelled, his family was his best weakness. therefore, a large amount of resources was necessary. moreover, the government was the best source of resources. bai zun and the mutated beast clan were irreconcilable enemies, so it was a good thing that he agreed to help the officials defend against the invasion of the mutated beasts and use the opportunity to obtain the resources needed to operate the guild. sitting on the sofa, bai zun closed his eyes to rest. on the other side, wang yi, who was outside the door, dialed the number of his superior. ¡°chief, the lord of the sword rejected our invitation¡­¡± Chapter 21 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°what did you say?!¡± with a loud bang, the person on the other end of the phone slammed his palm on the table. it was obvious that he was angry at bai zun for rejecting the alliance leader¡¯s invitation. ¡°how dare he reject the invitation from the officials?!¡± the old man on the other end of the phone was furious. ¡°chief¡­¡± wang yi hesitated. sensing the old man was so angry, he couldn¡¯t continue speaking. ¡°did he say anything else?¡± the old man suppressed his anger and gradually calmed down. ¡°he also said¡­ although he refused to be the alliance leader, if the officials can provide him with a certain amount of resources, he can guarantee that he¡¯ll take action when the mutated beast tide arrives.¡± wang yi voiced bai zun¡¯s request. the old man was silent for a few seconds. ¡°don¡¯t agree with him first. i¡¯ll make a trip to autumn-water city the day after tomorrow!¡± after saying it, the old man hung up the phone. wang yi looked at the interface of the call that had been hung up and smiled helplessly before returning to the living room. wang yi followed the old man¡¯s instructions and told bai zun that they would contact each other again in two days and then politely bid farewell. with that, the brief interlude was considered to have passed. as soon as wang yi left, ye shuishui came up to him and asked curiously, ¡°boss, what did that guy come here for?¡± bai zun glanced at ye shuishui. he didn¡¯t pay much attention to her and simply said a few words. afterward, bai zun returned to his bedroom. the second feedback session would begin at midnight. bai zun had to plan. bai zun stayed in the bedroom until noon. during lunch, he told ye shuishui about the midnight¡¯s second feedback. ye shuishui¡¯s mother, he qin, was also sitting at the dining table, listening to their conversation in a daze. bai zun didn¡¯t say much to ye shuishui. after lunch, he got up and left. at the dining table, he qin looked at bai zun¡¯s back, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. he qin nodded and smiled at her daughter. she then said, ¡°shuishui, your boss is outstanding.¡± ¡°yes. my boss is outstanding.¡± ye shuishui stopped moving her chopsticks and smiled. ¡°before the game invasion, my boss was the chairman of a unicorn company. he¡¯s amazing.¡± he qin changed the topic and went straight to the point, ¡°are you interested in your boss?¡± ¡°cough¡­ cough¡­¡± ye shuishui almost choked when she was about to drink some water. ye shuishui put down the glass of water and wiped the water stains on her chin. she looked at her mother and said with a complicated expression, ¡°my boss is different from others¡­¡± ¡°what¡¯s the difference? aren¡¯t they humans?¡± he qin smiled. the meaning behind her words was obvious. ¡°mother¡­¡± ye shuishui didn¡¯t know what to say, so she threw herself into her mother¡¯s arms and acted like a child. on the other side, in bai zun¡¯s bedroom¡­ since returning to his room, bai zun has been resting with his eyes closed. bai zun¡¯s mind kept recalling the major events that had happened before his reincarnation. ¡°in the past, after the second feedback, even more powerful secret realms descended. the east sea¡¯s murlocs and the dragon country¡¯s scaled dragons¡­ the underwater clans from the mysterious sea area landed on the ground and began to fight for territory with the humans and mutated beasts.¡± ¡°the dragon race appeared, and the four ocean dragons caused chaos in the sea. the war between the sea clan and the dragon race began. they didn¡¯t respect the strongest humans. they even trampled and mercilessly murdered the human race¡­¡± just thinking about it made bai zun furious. the group of beasts looked down on humans as if they were even inferior to ants! killing wantonly, enslaving, raising humans as pets, feeding them dog food, and even feces! when the sea clan landed on the ground, the human race would face its darkest moment! however, things are different now. before bai zun¡¯s reincarnation, after the second feedback, the strongest human was only in his fifth transition, they were the weakest aristocracy in other races. however, bai zun could carry the banner of the human race! even if a few more races attacked together, the human race didn¡¯t have to be afraid, let alone the mutated beasts and the sea clan! bai zun¡¯s expression was determined, as he was passionate. soon, the night sky turned dark. time passed by bit by bit, and the night approached. midnight¡­ it was about to arrive! bai zun called ye shuishui into the bedroom and gave her the final instructions. afterward, bai zun would wait until 12 p.m.! bai zun stared at the clock and saw the second-hand turn bit by bit. until the minute and the second coincided. a heart-wrenching pain surged into bai zun¡¯s mind. perhaps the feedback was stronger. bai zun grimaced in pain, and even his eyeballs bulged slightly. ¡°ah!¡± unlike the first feedback, the pain during the second feedback made bai zun scream. bai zun hugged his head and pressed it against the ground. opposite bai zun, ye shuishui was already screaming and rolling on the ground. outside the bedroom, he qin¡¯s temples trembled as she heard her daughter¡¯s screams. however, because bai zun had warned her, she endured her anxiety and sat in the living room without moving. until a minute later. the pain slowly dissipated. bai zun lay heavily on the ground, and a dense energy circulated through his body. opposite him, ye shuishui was also lying on the ground, gasping for breath. her clothes were soaked with sweat, and a thin layer of her shirt clung to her skin, revealing her great figure. bai zun exhaled deeply. afterward, bai zun looked at the attribute panel. [id: bai zun] [class: sky soaring holy swordsman (seventh transition)] [level: level 210] [skills: sky soaring sword technique (crimson level), sky soaring domain (crimson level), sky soaring judgment (crimson level), nine-layer hell (crimson level), heavenly united sword (gilded level)] [guild: nightmare guild] ¡­ the class of bai zun¡¯s seventh transition was the sky soaring holy swordsman! bai zun¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. bai zun initially thought that the second feedback would only increase 30% of his strength for the sixth transition. since bai zun had improved his strength from the third transition to the fourth transition before the second feedback, after the feedback, he had directly improved his class to the seventh transition! the progress of the class transition could be directly stacked on top of the foundation before the feedback! the discovery made bai zun extremely excited. in other words, before the third feedback, the more bai zun improved his level, the more he could break through the upper limit of the game¡¯s ninth transitions and go straight to the tenth and eleventh transitions! ¡°fantastic!¡± with excitement, bai zun looked at the spatial ring in his hand. the surface of the ring glowed with a golden light. when one looked at it, one could tell that it was of extraordinary quality. bai zun knew that it was the mythical-grade equipment he had drawn in the ¡°dimensional space¡± before the game invasion¡ªthe spatial dragon ring. it was forged from the dragon bones of a spatial dragon. it contains the power of space, and the interior space is boundless! it could be said to be a divine tool to store items! afterward, bai zun used his mental power to make contact with the spatial dragon ring. in an instant, a seemingly endless dimensional space filled with items spread out in front of him. equipment and tools of different grades were piled up like a mountain. these were all obtained by bai zun in the game. ¡°the immortal-slaying sword!¡± bai zun furrowed his brows and activated his mental power. suddenly, the mountain-like pile of equipment and tools began to shake violently, as if they were about to erupt like a volcano in the next second. however¡­ immediately after, a sword that was glowing with white light and had a sharp aura that seemed to be able to cut through the void appeared on the equipment mountain. with a swoosh, it arrived next to bai zun and was firmly grasped by him. holding the immortal-slaying sword in his hand, bai zun¡¯s gaze fell from the tip of the sword to the hilt. a sharp sword¡¯s intent filled his eyes. ¡°it¡¯s a good sword!¡± bai zun stretched out his hand and moved the immortal-slaying sword forward. the blade of the sword cut through the air, and a corner of the bedroom appeared. the sword¡¯s intent¡­ it turned out it could tear open the internal space of the spatial dragon ring! bai zun quickly put away his sword and waved his hand to wipe away the scratch in the void. the dimensional space returned to normal. bai zun was satisfied with the immortal-slaying sword. he couldn¡¯t be more satisfied. with the immortal-slaying sword in his hand, bai zun dared to attack even mythical-grade mutated beasts, let alone legendary-grade mutated beasts! it was the confidence that top-tier equipment gave bai zun! after putting the immortal-slaying sword into his equipment slot, bai zun glanced at the various resources in the spatial dragon ring and exited the space. his gaze returned to the familiar bedroom. ye shuishui was still recovering her spirit and energy. due to the fatigue brought on by the end of the pain, she completely ignored her wardrobe malfunction and lay on the ground to rest. after testing the immortal-slaying sword, bai zun¡¯s gaze fell on the ¡°guild¡± button on the attribute panel. Chapter 22 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation guild! bai zun was looking forward to it in the second feedback the most. the nightmare guild! bai zun had spent a lot of money and had plans for it before the game invaded. bai zun¡¯s mind moved slightly and touched the guild. on the attribute panel, the guild panel slowly opened. [name: nightmare] [level: level 50] [base: storm city (mythical-grade)] [president: bai zun] [vice president: ye shuishui] [members: ¡­] (click to expand.) ¡­ in addition to bai zun and ye shuishui, there were 80 other guild members. they were all recruited before the game invaded, and bai zun had spent billions to train them. [guild members can be summoned.] [summon count: once (only once, no subsequent summons)] [summon?] [yes/no] bai zun opened the guild member list and saw a notification pop up on the guild panel. ¡°i can even summon members?¡± bai zun nodded slightly. bai zun had been prepared to post a gathering post on the internet to gather his guild members. bai zun didn¡¯t expect the guild system could teleport his guild members over. bai zun could save a lot of energy. however, bai zun wasn¡¯t in a hurry to summon all the members. bai zun had yet to choose a landing point for the guild¡¯s storm city. it wouldn¡¯t be too late to summon the guild members after he had set up the storm city. ¡°if i remember correctly, there is a barren mountain north of autumn-water city. there are many secret realms around it. if i can move that barren mountain away, it would be a good idea to place the storm city.¡± bai zun made his plans. however, it was already late. bai zun planned to wait until dawn before implementing it. just as he was thinking, ye shuishui slowly sat up, not far from him. ¡°ah!¡± ye shuishui suddenly called out, attracting bai zun¡¯s attention. ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± bai zun furrowed his brows in confusion. ¡°my¡­ my attribute panel has changed!¡± ye shuishui widened her eyes and pointed at the air in front of her. ¡°¡­¡± bai zun was speechless. bai zun said, ¡°tell me the information.¡± ye shuishui nodded and immediately read out all the information on her attribute panel. [id: ye shuishui] [class: silver moon bizarre gunman (sixth transition)] [level: level 180] [skills: silver moon shine (purple level), moonlight domain (purple level), moon shadow steps (purple level), silver moon light (obsidian level), silver moon explosion (crimson level)] ¡­ as expected, bai zun¡¯s predictions were correct. ye shuishui didn¡¯t break through to the fourth transition before the second feedback, so she was only at the sixth transition after the feedback. moreover¡­ perhaps it was because bai zun¡¯s class level was getting higher and higher, but when he looked at ye shuishui, he always felt the distance as if he were looking at the stars and the moon. she was like a goddess from the moon. just by standing there quietly, she gave off an inviolable sense of nobility. at the same time, bai zun, who had advanced to the seventh transition and become the sky soaring holy swordsman, also gave ye shuishui deep pressure as if she were looking at a god. ye shuishui couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°boss¡­ what¡¯s your class?¡± she felt a little flustered even as she stared at bai zun. bai zun said indifferently, ¡°the sky soaring holy swordsman.¡± bai zun¡¯s gaze, which seemed to ignore everything in the world, was like that of the sword god who controlled the jade emperor¡¯s palace, putting people under absolute mental pressure. ¡°oh.¡± ye shuishui nodded. since the second round of feedback had ended, bai zun asked ye shuishui to go back to her room to rest after a simple conversation. he qin was waiting in the living room. when she saw her daughter come out, she quickly went forward to ask. time passed quickly. the sky darkened and the sun rose, changing day and night. in the morning, after bai zun got up, he didn¡¯t eat breakfast. instead, he took to the air and rode the immortal-slaying sword high into the sky. as a player with a superior class in his seventh transition, the sky soaring holy swordsman, bai zun¡¯s mastery of swordsmanship was already at the peak of perfection. with both feet on the body of the immortal-slaying sword, bai zun flew straight to the north of autumn-water city. at the same time, in the conference room of the autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office. in front of zuo yan was a group of arrogant members of the player¡¯s management office. zuo yan sat in the main seat, frowning as his gaze swept across the faces of every member. ever since the second feedback last night, zuo yan has been in a state of excitement due to the increase in his strength. he didn¡¯t even sleep and spent the entire night conquering secret realms alone. after daybreak, zuo yan cleared the last secret realm and returned to the player¡¯s management office to rest. following that, he received an urgent message from the police station. the satellite detected that there was an unidentified flying object flying at high speed in the sky above autumn-water city! as he wasn¡¯t sure what the flying object was, the chief of police, zhang jing, was cautious and reported it to the player¡¯s management office first. zuo yan couldn¡¯t hold it either, so he held a meeting in the player¡¯s management office. however¡­ as the meeting went on, it seemed that it was going off-topic. ¡°chief, isn¡¯t it just a ufo? one will think that it¡¯s a drone. besides, even if aliens come, i¡¯ll deal with them!¡± on the side, a muscular man arrogantly raised his chin. he was holding an extremely thick whip in his hand. with just a glance, one could guess that the whip was no less than diamond-grade. ¡°that¡¯s right. what¡¯s there to make a fuss about?¡± a male member who was also on the side with center-parting hair smiled disdainfully. he didn¡¯t care about the ufo at all. zuo yan¡¯s gaze swept across their faces one by one, and his brows frowned. after the center-parted-haired male member finished speaking, zuo yan let out a breath. afterward, as he stood up, a huge sword suddenly appeared beside him. the greatsword was so tall that it even reached zuo yan¡¯s shoulder. at the same time, zuo yan¡¯s powerful aura was fully displayed, which made the faces of the members of the player¡¯s management office in the meeting room turn pale. the arrogance on their faces was replaced by a touch of awkwardness. zuo yan¡­ he was an expert in his fourth transition! the fourth transition meant that zuo yan was at least level 120. those sitting at the conference table were, at most, in their third transition. after the second feedback last night, many players had obtained even more powerful strength. at the same time, many players were arrogant and grumpy because of the substantial increase in strength. for example, everyone at the conference table thought they were stronger than zuo yan after last night. therefore, they spoke without any politeness. however¡­ zuo yan revealed his strength and suppressed everyone! the arrogant, center-parted-haired man and the muscular man shut their mouths and lowered their heads. zuo yan¡¯s gaze swept across the people at the conference table again. his gaze turned cold as he pointed at the center-parted-haired man and the muscular man. ¡°li chang, wang meng!¡± ¡°here!¡± the center-parted-haired man and the muscular man immediately stood up. zuo yan ordered coldly, ¡°aren¡¯t you guys powerful? i¡¯ll leave the matter of the ufo flying towards the north of autumn-water city to you two!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± li chang and wang meng responded in unison. since they were frightened by zuo yan¡¯s strength, they no longer dared provoke him arrogantly. the matter was temporarily resolved, and zuo yan announced the dismissal of the meeting. li chang, wang meng, and the rest left one after another. according to the satellite map, they headed towards the barren mountain north of autumn-water city. however¡­ on the other side¡­ bai zun stepped on the immortal-slaying sword and arrived in front of a barren mountain. it was a huge mountain, so huge that it stretched so far into the distance that one couldn¡¯t even see all of it. bai zun was satisfied as he stared at the barren mountain. the location of the barren mountain could be considered within autumn-water city. as long as the storm city was placed here, it would be convenient to transport resources after the guild was established. as he thought about it, bai zun moved his power slightly and slowly floated in the air. afterward, bai zun held the immortal-slaying sword in his hand. with a thought, his gaze instantly turned sharp. afterward, bai zun raised his sword and flew toward the mountain. the gilded level skill, the heavenly united sword! Chapter 23 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°buzz!¡± the chime of the sword shook the heavens and earth, and its phantom shook the universe! a huge sword phantom that was flashing with golden light descended from the sky and split the barren mountain in half! however¡­ that wasn¡¯t all! the huge sword phantom slowly dissipated, but the golden light was still there. the golden light glowed around the barren mountain. meanwhile, there was a mighty force that seemed to be able to twist space. afterward, it shattered the barren mountain! ¡°boom!¡± with a loud bang, the barren mountain collapsed on the spot! within a hundred miles, it was all flat ground! bai zun stood in the air and looked at the dust cloud that had suddenly dispersed, his eyes filled with satisfaction. however, in the next second, bai zun frowned and looked at the distance. meanwhile¡­ li chang and wang meng were here because zuo yan ordered them to investigate the ufo. at this moment, they were stunned on the spot. previously, they were talking nonsense. in the next moment, the sky seemed to have a crack, and a monstrous golden sword descended. the scene had frightened them. the mountain immediately exploded after the giant golden sword split open the barren mountain. li chang and wang meng were dumbfounded. they gulped in unison. when they looked at each other, they could see the panic in each other¡¯s eyes. they thought of the same thing as if they had a tacit understanding. they thought, ¡°run!¡± when li chang and wang meng reacted, they used all their strength to escape. since they were only two weaklings who were in their third transition, bai zun thought they weren¡¯t worth his attention. bai zun only glanced at them before looking away. afterward, bai zun used the crimson level skill, the sky soaring sword technique, to quickly clear the dust and fog that had been created by the collapse of the barren mountain. following that, bai zun willed and placed the storm city. ¡°boom! boom! boom!¡± the storm city slowly turned from a phantom into a corporeal form. the sound was as loud as a volcanic eruption. bai zun quietly hovered in the air, watching the storm city slowly emerge. on the other hand, li chang and wang meng didn¡¯t run too far away. the commotion in storm city soon caught their attention. ¡°this! this!¡± from afar, li chang was shocked to see the huge and domineering city that was accompanied by a storm. wang meng was also shocked and speechless. ¡°what¡¯s this?!¡± the two of them spoke in unison, their voices filled with shock. ¡°we must report the matter right now!¡± when li chang saw the storm city gradually become corporeal, he hurriedly picked up his phone and called the chief of autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office¡ªzuo yan. wang meng stared at the storm city shockingly. in front of the storm city, bai zun slowly descended and arrived in the city. bai zun didn¡¯t land on the ground but floated in the air, observing the city. storms surrounded the city walls, streets, houses, halls, and defensive measures¡­ bai zun couldn¡¯t help but be shocked just by looking at it. before this, bai zun had only seen the storm city in the game, and he had only felt that the model was more detailed. however, when the storm city descended into reality, he truly felt how majestic the mythical-grade guild was. with such a city, why would they fear the mutated beast tides and alien invasions?! bai zun was full of pride. after walking around the storm city, bai zun soared into the sky. with a wave of his hand, a defensive barrier rose in the storm city. it was a chaotic storm that was as sharp as a knife. afterward, bai zun followed the path he came from and stepped on the immortal-slaying sword to fly back to the villa. at the same time. in the autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office, the chief¡¯s office¡­ zuo yan was dumbfounded when he received li chang¡¯s call and the live video from li chang. meanwhile, he thought, ¡°this¡­¡± ¡°what the fuck is this?!¡± zuo yan rubbed his eyes and almost stuck his head into the screen. such a tall city wall, such a violent storm, such a¡­ the storm city was simply a miracle! zuo yan anxiously asked li chang, ¡°do you mean¡­ do you mean the storm city wasn¡¯t there when you two arrived? are you telling me that it just suddenly appeared?¡± ¡°yes.¡± li chang was silent for two seconds and then nodded. ¡°the hundred-mile barren mountain was destroyed by a giant golden sword. after that, this city appeared.¡± ¡°i suspect that all of this was done by the ufo you asked us to investigate.¡± ¡°ufo¡­¡± zuo yan¡¯s screen was still playing the storm city¡¯s image. the shock in his eyes didn¡¯t diminish as he swallowed his saliva. ¡°come back! you guys come back first!¡± zuo yan spoke incoherently. zuo yan quickly said it and hung up the phone. afterward, he hurriedly called for an emergency meeting. the mysterious city was right in the middle of autumn-water city. nobody knew whether it was beneficial to the city. the threat was so great that zuo yan didn¡¯t know what to do for a moment. the player¡¯s management office was panicking because bai zun had brought down storm city. on the other hand, bai zun quickly returned to the villa after locating storm city. however, when bai zun returned to the villa, he saw an old man standing outside the villa with a few middle-aged men. one of the middle-aged men seemed to be wang yi, who had come to visit yesterday? without thinking much, bai zun descended from the sky. bai zun¡¯s actions immediately attracted the attention of the old man and a few middle-aged men. ¡°the big shot! the lord of the sword!¡± when wang yi saw bai zun, he greeted him with a smile. the other middle-aged men also turned around. however, the old man looked at bai zun coldly. ¡°we just came looking for you¡­¡± wang yi came to bai zun¡¯s side and lowered his posture. he smiled apologetically and introduced the old man in front of him, saying, ¡°this is the head of the player¡¯s alliance creation office, elder lin. we are here to discuss the matter of you being the leader of the player¡¯s alliance¡­¡± ¡°didn¡¯t i say it before?¡± bai zun frowned and looked at wang yi, who was smiling apologetically. afterward, he turned to look at the old man, whose eyes were filled with coldness. the old man clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly. his expression was very cold, and he had a superior posture. his stance made bai zun unhappy. ¡°maybe you¡¯ll have a different idea if you talk to elder lin?¡± wang yi smiled sincerely. bai zun didn¡¯t say anything, nor did he do anything. he just frowned and looked at elder lin, who was standing at the door. elder lin took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, his expression becoming more and more arrogant. he stopped when he was three steps away from bai zun. he raised his head and looked down at bai zun. ¡°i¡¯m the head of the official player¡¯s alliance creation office. i¡¯m here to invite you to be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance.¡± elder lin¡¯s expression was cold, and he didn¡¯t seem afraid of bai zun¡¯s cold gaze. he said, ¡°i heard that you rejected my subordinate?¡± ¡°so what?¡± bai zun sneered. bai zun wanted to see what elder lin¡¯s intentions were. ¡°i won¡¯t blame you for being young and impetuous.¡± elder lin curled his wrinkled lips, looking like an immoral senior lecturing a junior. he said, ¡°i¡¯ll give you another chance now. as long as you agree to be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance, i¡¯ll forget about the previous rejection and not pursue it. how about it?¡± the few middle-aged men behind him were all players, which gave elder lin confidence. he looked at bai zun with confidence after he finished his words. however, bai zun¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness. the atmosphere suddenly became quiet and subtle when elder lin finished his sentence. wang yi and the other middle-aged men stood behind elder lin, not daring to breathe loudly. ¡°so, i must agree?¡± bai zun sneered. ¡°i¡¯m improving your reputation by asking you to become the leader of the player¡¯s alliance. you have to accept it even if you¡¯re unwilling to!¡± perhaps elder lin was annoyed. as his tone became serious, he even threatened bai zun. the sneer on bai zun¡¯s face grew even more intense. wang yi and the middle-aged men didn¡¯t even dare to look up. as for elder lin, he still maintained the contempt of those in high positions. the atmosphere fell silent again. however¡­ in the next second¡­ a destructive power descended and landed on the fearless and ignorant elder lin. Chapter 24 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°buzz!¡± after the sound, a bloody mist appeared. elder lin disappeared on the spot, and the fine meat powder tumbled in the air along with the blood mist. wang yi and the others were stunned. the power that destroyed elder lin was terrifying. although the few middle-aged men beside wang yi were players, their levels weren¡¯t high. they were so scared that they didn¡¯t dare move. their gazes passed through the spot where elder lin had just been standing and met bai zun¡¯s extremely cold gaze. they immediately trembled. elder¡­ elder lin¡­ was¡­ was dead¡­ wang yi was so scared that his entire body was trembling! beside him, the other middle-aged men were no exception. they were all terrified to the extreme. as for bai zun, he glanced at them and waved his hand after dealing with elder lin. ¡°get lost. next time, send someone who can talk nicely over.¡± ¡°yes¡­ yes¡­¡± wang yi resisted the trembling and fled with the few middle-aged men. ignoring them, bai zun twisted his neck and entered the villa. as soon as bai zun arrived in the living room, ye shuishui hurriedly came up to him. ¡°boss¡­¡± ye shuishui looked flustered. it was obvious that she was frightened by the scene outside. ¡°in the future, if you encounter such a situation, ask for their purpose first. if their attitude is bad, just kill them.¡± bai zun glanced at her. ¡°uh¡­¡± ye shuishui was stunned for a moment and hesitated to answer. the game invasion was still in its early stages, and bai zun didn¡¯t expect ye shuishui to become ruthless. after all, her personality would change with the environment. ¡°come with me.¡± bai zun waved his hand, indicating that ye shuishui should follow him. ye shuishui followed obediently. they went to the study, and bai zun told ye shuishui about the storm city guild base that had been set up. moreover, bai zun planned to start gathering the guild members this afternoon. ¡°so¡­ what i need to do is arrange for these members to live in the storm city?¡± after hearing bai zun¡¯s narration, ye shuishui, who had felt the immense power and responsibility of the vice president for the first time, quickly became rational and calm. before the game invasion, ye shuishui was bai zun¡¯s secretary and had made significant contributions to the management of the supreme emperor group, which had a market value of hundreds of billions. compared to the hundreds of thousands of employees, the guild members only had a few hundred people with their families, so it was easy for ye shuishui to manage them. ¡°then i¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± bai zun knocked on the table with his knuckles and finalized the guild¡¯s plans. ye shuishui nodded solemnly. after that, ye shuishui went to prepare. bai zun sat in front of the study table, his gaze locked on the attribute panel floating in the air. bai zun looked at the ¡°guild¡± button. [guild members can be summoned.] [summon count: once (only once, no subsequent summons)] [summon?] [yes/no] without hesitation, bai zun chose ¡°yes.¡± [do you want to force the members to descend directly into the city, or give them two hours to prepare?] looking at the interface, bai zun didn¡¯t hesitate and chose the latter. in the following two hours, the guild members would be able to fetch all the family and relatives they could. [reminder: guild members have the right to reject the call, but if they refuse, they will be automatically kicked out of the guild. please be aware.] [summoning in progress¡­] [summoning in progress¡­] [¡­] glancing at the interface, bai zun leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. at the same time¡­ in every corner of the dragon country, where the members of the nightmare guild were distributed, there were constant sounds of surprise. ¡­ in a bakery. ¡°if it¡¯s delicious, please come again.¡± the store manager smiled as he sent off a customer. just as he was about to sit down, a voice exploded in his mind. [the nightmare guild is gathering its members. it¡¯s estimated that the gathering will be completed in two hours. at that time, you will be directly teleported to the nightmare guild¡¯s base, storm city. of course, you can also choose to teleport immediately.] [reminder: you can also refuse to be summoned, but if you refuse, you will be automatically kicked out of the nightmare guild. please choose.] [countdown to assembly: 1:59:59] ¡°nightmare guild? storm city?¡± looking at the notification, the store manager was stunned at first. then he recalled that before the game had any feedback, he had indeed joined a guild in the game. the guild was founded by the strongest player on the five leaderboards of ¡°dimensional space,¡± lord of the sword. if he remembered correctly, in the game, the lord of the sword was the supreme class of the ninth transition. he couldn¡¯t imagine how strong the lord of the sword would become after the game¡¯s feedback. after sighing, the store manager didn¡¯t hesitate. he immediately picked up his phone and called his wife and children. he also contacted his parents in his hometown and his in-laws. he decided to respond to the summons and head to storm city! the lord of the sword was very strong. in such a chaotic era, if their family wanted absolute safety, they needed the protection of a strong person. the lord of the sword was undoubtedly the best choice. moreover¡­ two days ago, he heard that a group of level 100 mutated beasts had invaded the neighboring city and turned it into ruins. after that, they disappeared without a trace. he was afraid that the group of level 100 mutated beasts would suddenly come. without any delay, the manager closed the shop and prepared to leave. ¡­ it was a bar that was still open, but there were only a few dozen people. more than a dozen men and women dressed fashionably exchanged toasts. ¡°second feedback! our leader has completed his fourth transition! cheers to our leader becoming stronger again!¡± a lackey raised his glass and flattered him. instantly, the surrounding people all laughed and agreed. in the middle, a young man with red hair was sitting on the bar counter. he had one foot on the counter and the other in the air. he was holding a wine glass with his elbow on his knee. there was an evil smile on his face as he gulped down the wine wantonly. ¡°leader, come over to my place to play tonight¡­¡± a scantily dressed woman waved at the young man with a seductive look in her eyes. ¡°leader, come to my place too¡­¡± there were also women competing. the men were all envious, but they didn¡¯t dare to show it too obviously. they were all smiling to hide it. ¡°hahahaha!¡± the red-haired young man laughed loudly. as he jumped off the bar counter, he hugged the two women who had just spoken. ¡°let¡¯s come together! let¡¯s come together!¡± the red-haired youth¡¯s eyes were filled with greed, and his hands were moving on the women¡¯s bodies. it wasn¡¯t until a mechanical voice sounded in his mind that he froze on the spot. [the nightmare guild is gathering its members. it¡¯s estimated that the gathering will be completed in two hours. at that time, you will be directly teleported to the nightmare guild¡¯s base, storm city. of course, you can also choose to teleport immediately.] [reminder: you can also refuse to be summoned, but if you refuse, you will be automatically kicked out of the nightmare guild. please choose.] [countdown to assembly: 1:59:59] ¡°the nightmare guild?¡± the red-haired young man¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion, but as he recalled, they gradually cleared up. it turned out that it was the nightmare guild. it was the guild created by the big shot who ranked first in the top five rankings before the game invasion, the lord of the sword. ¡°the lord of the sword¡­¡± thinking of the lord of the sword, the red-haired young man couldn¡¯t help but shudder. he even removed his hands from the women. even he had the strength of the fourth transition after the second feedback. how strong would the lord of the sword be after the second feedback? the fifth transition? the sixth transition? he didn¡¯t dare to think about it. ¡°storm city¡­¡± the red-haired youth hesitated. undoubtedly, compared to a city that would be attacked by the mutated beast tide anytime, a city with an expert like the lord of the sword guarding it would be more secure. furthermore¡­ under the leadership of the lord of the sword, he might become even stronger in this chaotic world! became powerful! the red-haired youth¡¯s breathing quickened. a few days ago, he had relied on the strength of his fourth transition to forcefully snatch the bar, and because of his strength, he could do whatever he wanted in this city. no one could threaten him, and he was even praised to the skies by more than ten ordinary people every day. ¡°storm city!¡± he let out a low growl, his eyes exceptionally excited. around them, more than ten men and women looked at each other strangely, not understanding what was going on with the red-haired young man. however¡­ in the next second. the red-haired youth decisively chose to teleport right away! he had been living in an orphanage since he was young. he had no parents and no worries. therefore, he left very quickly. then, under everyone¡¯s shocked gaze, a white light suddenly descended and enveloped the red-haired youth. the white light was so blinding that those men and women couldn¡¯t help but close their eyes. when the white light dissipated, they all opened their eyes, only to discover that the red-haired youth had disappeared. Chapter 25 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation with the activation of the members summoning progress, a hundred people moved into storm city in less than half a day. there were 80 guild members in the game, but only 50 came. including their families and relatives, there were hundreds of them. by the time ye shuishui had arranged accommodations for the hundreds of people in the city, it was already midnight. sitting in the storm hall, ye shuishui ate the beef noodles that her mother had just made and let out a heavy sigh. ¡°thank you for your hard work.¡± bai zun, who was covered in blood, suddenly walked in from outside the door of the hall. ¡°boss!¡± seeing bai zun, ye shuishui quickly bit off the noodles in her mouth and stood up to report the situation of the guild members. after listening for a few minutes, bai zun was satisfied with ye shuishui¡¯s management abilities. bai zun thought, ¡°it¡¯s indeed a great idea to let her manage the guild¡¯s affairs.¡± bai zun waved his hand and said, ¡°alright, go back and rest early. i¡¯ll have to trouble you with other guild¡¯s matters tomorrow.¡± ¡°alright.¡± ye shuishui nodded vigorously. after finishing the noodles, ye shuishui carried the bowl and chopsticks back to her room. bai zun stayed in the main hall. bai zun had just returned from clearing a legendary-grade secret realm. with his seventh transition, level 210 strength, and the immortal-slaying sword, bai zun could instantly clear a level 210 legendary-grade secret realm, which was the highest level of the legendary-grade secret realms. bai zun could kill a legendary-grade mutated beast with a swing of his sword! it was something bai zun didn¡¯t even dare to think about in his previous life. one had to know that the strongest mutated beasts were mythical-grade mutated beasts. the mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°bosses¡± could only reach level 240 at most. the second strongest mutated beasts were the legendary-grade mutated beasts. however, mythical-grade mutated beasts were no longer enough for bai zun. ¡°tomorrow, i¡¯ll bring the guild members to clear the secret realms around autumn-water city.¡± bai zun sat on the throne at the back of the storm hall. he rested his chin on one hand, and his eyes darkened slightly. bai zun felt that it wasn¡¯t something to be proud of to be able to casually kill legendary-grade mutated beasts or even mythical-grade mutated beasts. it was because mutated beasts were just pets raised by aliens. humans wouldn¡¯t feel superior to dogs just because they beat them up. humans would only feel a sense of superiority after beating up the dog¡¯s owner. bai zun knew there was still a long way to go, and he felt that he wasn¡¯t strong enough. bai zun could only take it slowly. bai zun pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and used his mind to sense the guild core. as president, bai zun had absolute control over the storm city. the guild core, also known as the storm core, was the key to controlling the city. bai zun thought of something, and with a light hum, a transparent oval protective shield covered the entire storm city. moreover¡­ there were also all kinds of violent storms wreaking havoc outside the protective barrier. it was the storm formation. bai zun dared to say that even if there was a mythical-grade mutated beast tide attacking the storm city, it would be a one-way trip in the storm formation. even though bai zun had such powerful strength in the current stage, he didn¡¯t dare say that he could take on the storm formation head-on. ¡°fantastic!¡± bai zun¡¯s eyes were filled with passion. he was already looking forward to the future of the nightmare guild. in bai zun¡¯s previous life, the aliens had invaded earth and attempted to occupy it. this time, bai zun was going to invade the dimensional world and colonize the aliens! ¡°the aliens!¡± bai zun looked passionate. in bai zun¡¯s previous life, after the alien invasion, aliens tortured humans in different ways. he could never forget the screams of the vengeful souls. ¡­ after the storm formation was activated¡­ inside the storm city, a group of guild members and their families came out of their residences one after another, exclaiming at the violent storm outside the array. ye shuishui also hurried out of her room and stared at the defensive barrier with her beautiful eyes wide open. he qin was also amazed. moreover¡­ the satellites of the dragon country, the east sea, and the lighthouse country captured the scene. the dragon country¡¯s officials. the higher-ups looked at the news from the satellite and asked in a deep voice, ¡°before elder lin, who was the one who came into contact with the lord of the sword?¡± the subordinate replied, ¡°it¡¯s the deputy chief of the player¡¯s alliance creation office, wang yi.¡± ¡°tell him to put on a good attitude and agree to any logical request that bai zun makes!¡± the higher-ups waved their hands and said, ¡°even if bai zun refuses to be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance, don¡¯t force him. we can choose someone else. we must not offend him!¡± in the storm city, the nightmare guild. the weakest member of the nightmare guild was a fourth-transition player¡­ the development of the nightmare guild was so fast that even dragon country¡¯s officials were shocked. ¡°yes, sir!¡± the subordinate replied solemnly and left. ¡­ the east sea¡¯s officials. ¡°what¡¯s the dragon country doing? how can they build such a huge city in a day?!¡± the east sea¡¯s higher-ups stared at the images of the storm city from the satellite with rage. a few subordinates stood at the back, not daring to say a word. ¡°i heard that this is the first guild in the ¡®dimensional space¡¯ dragon country server?¡± the east sea¡¯s higher-ups glanced at their subordinates and asked. the subordinates looked at each other. when they looked at the last person, they quickly nodded to confirm. ¡°hurry up! ask mr. kim to come over!¡± the east sea¡¯s higher-ups smiled disdainfully and said, ¡°hmph! how dare the strongest expert of a mere dragon country be worthy to compete with the strongest expert of our east sea empire?¡± their cold snorts echoed in the air, filled with disdain. ¡­ the lighthouse country¡¯s officials. ¡°rally them! we must rope him in!¡± the lighthouse country¡¯s higher-ups looked at the satellite news and slammed their palms on the table. they showed gloomy looks and said, ¡°beauty! money! status! give him everything we can! we must bring the lord of the sword back to our country!¡± a subordinate asked softly, ¡°what if the lord of the sword refused us?¡± ¡°he refused to come to our country, huh?¡± the lighthouse country¡¯s higher-ups immediately sneered, and their eyes were filled with killing intent. they said, ¡°since we don¡¯t have such a powerful person, the dragon country can¡¯t have him too!¡± ¡°if we can¡¯t win him over, we¡¯ll kill the lord of the sword and destroy the storm city!¡± the subordinates nodded in unison. ¡­ the establishment of the storm city and the activation of the storm formation had many countries¡¯ nerves up. all kinds of thoughts arose. however¡­ far away in the dragon country¡¯s autumn-water city. bai zun didn¡¯t know anything about it, and he didn¡¯t plan to know either. all schemes and plots were useless while facing absolute power. the sun had just risen, and soon after bai zun woke up, ye shuishui knocked on his bedroom door. ¡°boss, the dragon country¡¯s officials have sent people over again.¡± the dragon country¡¯s officials? bai zun¡¯s expression was calm, and he wasn¡¯t surprised at all. only elder lin, who had a bad attitude and took advantage of his seniority, had died. the dragon country¡¯s officials couldn¡¯t fall out with bai zun because of it. one had to know that at the current stage, bai zun was the strongest in the dragon country. nobody was stronger than him. moreover, bai zun¡¯s guild included most of the strongest combatants in the dragon country. anyone could tell which was more important. in addition, to maintain the necessary resources for the guild¡¯s operation, bai zun wouldn¡¯t refuse to get in touch with the officials. bai zun left the bedroom without hesitation. bai zun moved the villa he had been residing in into a location in the city after settling down in storm city. there was no other reason. bai zun was used to his villa. bai zun met wang yi in the living room of the villa. when wang yi met bai zun again, he was both respectful and fearful of bai zun because of elder lin¡¯s death. ¡°mr. lord of the sword.¡± when wang yi saw bai zun, he stood up from the sofa with an extremely good attitude. bai zun sat down on the sofa and got straight to the point. he asked, ¡°tell me why are you here?¡± ¡°it¡¯s like this¡­ i¡¯m still a little unwilling. since you¡¯re such a powerful person¡­¡± bai zun said indifferently, ¡°get to the point.¡± ¡°i still want to invite you to be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance¡­¡± wang yi spoke as he observed bai zun¡¯s expression. Chapter 26 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation bai zun faintly refused, ¡°no need.¡± after being rejected again, wang yi immediately smiled apologetically and said, ¡°mr. lord of the sword, the main purpose of my arrival this time is to ask what you need and what the officials can provide you with.¡± ¡°as i said, if the dragon country is in trouble, i won¡¯t stand by and do nothing. at the same time, i need resources¡ªa large amount of continuous resources.¡± bai zun stared at wang yi solemnly and asked, ¡°do you understand?¡± ¡°understood. understood.¡± wang yi nodded. on behalf of the government, he agreed with bai zun¡¯s words. ¡°do you have any other requests?¡± perhaps he was worried. wang yi asked again. this time, wang yi¡¯s visit was to represent the government and establish a good relationship with bai zun. wang yi could finally heave a sigh of relief during the following conversation. although bai zun refused to be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance, he promised to help if the dragon country was in trouble. that was enough. after chatting for a while, wang yi left respectfully. bai zun didn¡¯t stay in the villa for long. he left the villa and arrived at storm square. his gaze swept across the 50 guild members on the square, and his expression remained calm. while talking to wang yi, bai zun had ye shuishui gather all the guild members at the storm square. the members gathered. the next step was to follow the plan from last night and clear all the secret realms around autumn-water city. only when the secret realms were destroyed could the safety of the surroundings of autumn-water city be guaranteed to the greatest extent. ¡°i want all of you to meet the requirements for your class transitions within ten days!¡± bai zun¡¯s cold gaze swept across everyone. he said, ¡°there are 356 secret realms around autumn-water city. in these ten days, you guys must conquer all of them!¡± ¡°listen to my order. let¡¯s start!¡± ¡°yes!¡± thunderous cheers sounded in the storm square. almost every member could feel the absolute confidence and lack of hostility from bai zun, and they yearned for him. strength was the most crucial thing in the chaotic era! when bai zun finished speaking, the guild members divided into small teams and left the city, heading toward the secret realm. at the same time. wang yi also returned to the player¡¯s alliance creation office. wang yi sat in elder lin¡¯s original seat without feeling awkward. that¡¯s right. after elder lin¡¯s death, wang yi was promoted from deputy chief to chief and was responsible for establishing the player¡¯s alliance. ¡°since the lord of the sword is unwilling to come, i can only let li banxian take over.¡± wang yi leaned against the back of the chair and tapped his knuckles on the table. he was thinking about something serious. li banxian was an expert who was inferior to bai zun in the dragon country. li banxian was in his fifth transition at level 170. he was close to achieving his sixth transition. the officials had already considered that if bai zun refused, li banxian, who was in his fifth class transition, would be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance. afterward, wang yi picked up his phone and called li banxian. ¡°is this mr. li?¡± wang yi seemed much more respectful. the other end of the phone replied arrogantly, ¡°yes.¡± wang yi smiled apologetically and went straight to the point, ¡°it¡¯s like this. i¡¯m wang yi, the chief of the player¡¯s alliance creation office. the dragon country¡¯s officials want to establish a player¡¯s alliance and would like to invite you to be the alliance leader.¡± unlike bai zun, li banxian agreed without hesitation. li banxian quickly said that he would arrive at dragon capital in the afternoon and complete the inauguration ceremony. seeing that li banxian was willing to become the alliance leader, wang yi was relieved. when the player¡¯s alliance was successfully established, wang yi¡¯s current mission would be considered completed. ¡°see you in the afternoon.¡± wang yi smiled and hung up the phone. ¡­ on the other side. bai zun was attacking the legendary-grade secret realm. bai zun swung his immortal-slaying sword horizontally and used the sky soaring sword technique. a huge sword light that flashed with a platinum light swept across. in an instant, all the legendary-grade monsters that could be seen with the naked eye were wiped out. bai zun¡¯s experience points were also slowly rising. the upper limit of the seventh transition was level 240. after the second feedback, bai zun inherited level 210. after clearing the secret realms for a few days, he gradually improved his strength to level 213. bai zun was still 27 levels away from meeting the requirements to start his eighth transition. bai zun had finally experienced the difficulty of leveling up 20 levels. after clearing dozens of secret lands, the experience points provided by a small monster and a mutated beast ¡°boss¡± were only enough for bai zun to level up by three levels. ¡°i¡¯ll try the mythical-grade secret realm later.¡± bai zun kept his sword and let out a sigh. he murmured with a calm expression. the mutated beasts in the mythical-grade secret realms were all between level 210 and level 240. although they were hard to deal with, they could provide more experience points. bai zun held the immortal-slaying sword and made up his mind. he walked toward the ancient castle in the depths of the secret realm. in the depths of the ancient castle, the mutated beast ¡°boss¡± of the legendary-grade secret realm was sitting high on its throne, staring at bai zun as he entered the castle. ¡°stupid human, do you want to be devoured by me?¡± it was a humanoid spider with dozens of spider legs on its back. its purple face looked like that of a zombie that had died a long time ago. bai zun didn¡¯t waste time talking nonsense with him and unleashed his sky soaring domain. one could see the sky soaring domain spread out. it covered the entire castle in the blink of an eye. afterward, a blood-red greatsword shadow descended at high speed! the spider ¡°boss¡± couldn¡¯t even defend itself. the greatsword phantom slashed it in half and killed it. bai zun indifferently picked up the equipment rewarded by the death of the spider ¡°boss¡± and left. he then rushed to the next secret realm. currently, there are only ten mythical-grade secret realms discovered in the world. moreover¡­ in the surroundings of the ten mythical-grade secret realms, not to mention humans, even plants couldn¡¯t survive. there was nothing but arid land for 100 miles around the secret realms. fortunately, no mythical-grade mutated beasts have left the secret realms to attack humans. otherwise¡­ it would be an unimaginable disaster for humans. a group of mutated beasts that were almost equivalent to humans in their seventh transitions attacked the human world, where the strongest person apart from bai zun wasn¡¯t even in his sixth transition. other than being slaughtered, there was no other outcome. a moment later, bai zun arrived at mount heaven-returning. there was a mythical-grade secret realm here. there were many mythical-grade mutated beasts living inside, as well as the level 240 mutated beast ¡°boss,¡± the sirius wolf king. bai zun was only level 213. bai zun¡¯s level might only be comparable to the weakest sirius wolf. not to mention the gap between bai zun and the sirius wolf king, a mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°boss.¡± however, bai zun wasn¡¯t afraid. bai zun¡¯s expression was indifferent as he arrived at the door to the secret realm flowing with red and golden light. afterward, bai zun stepped in calmly. at this moment. the satellites of the lighthouse country were the first to capture the movements of mount heaven-returning. the soldier monitoring the situation on the sirius wolf secret realm hurriedly reported to his commander, ¡°reporting, sir! a few seconds ago, someone had entered the key monitoring target, the mythical-grade secret realm¡ªthe sirius wolf secret realm on mount heaven-returning!¡± the officer also widened his eyes. he didn¡¯t hesitate to report such a major incident to the lighthouse country¡¯s officials. when the lighthouse country¡¯s president, dent, heard the news, his expression changed drastically. ¡°you guys said that someone has entered the mythical-grade secret realm, the sirius wolf secret realm?¡± ¡°yes.¡± the subordinate nodded solemnly. ¡°it¡¯s absurd!¡± dent suddenly slammed the table, and he almost went furious. the subordinates were so frightened that they didn¡¯t dare speak. however, it was reasonable for dent to be angry. after the second feedback, all kinds of high-grade secret realms descended one after another. the most terrifying ones were the mythical-grade secret realms. since the grade of the secret realms was too high and the mutated beasts were too strong, it would be a fatal blow to the entire world once they rushed out of the secret realm. therefore, the lighthouse country and the dragon country took the lead and used satellites to count the number of mythical-grade secret realms and monitor them in real-time. they were afraid that something would run out of the mythical-grade secret realms. at the same time, they also set up fences outside the mythical-grade secret realms, afraid that someone would accidentally enter and alarm the mythical-grade mutated beasts. however¡­ someone was telling dent that someone had broken into the mythical-grade secret realm. dent felt that he couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. panic suddenly surged in dent¡¯s mind. dent didn¡¯t dare believe what kind of disaster would happen to the world if all the mythical-grade mutated beasts that weren¡¯t even afraid of nuclear weapons escaped. it was especially true to the lighthouse country since the sirius wolf secret realm was located on mount heaven-returning, which was very close to the lighthouse country. it was extremely terrifying. ¡°contact the other countries! hold a supreme meeting!¡± dent immediately made his decision. once the mythical-grade mutated beasts left the secret realm, it would be a disaster for the entire lighthouse country! dent had to integrate the resources of the various countries to help the lighthouse country tide over the difficulties! in the name of maintaining the safety of the human world! Chapter 27 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the matter of bai zun barging into the mythical-grade secret realm had caused the lighthouse country to panic. the lighthouse country contacted various countries and called for a supreme meeting. the dragon country, the east sea, the spice country, and the romance country¡­ representatives of many countries attended the meeting. they gathered in the supreme conference hall. ¡°what¡¯s going on?!¡± the representative of the spice country was at a loss, but his nerves were tense. the representative of the kimchi nation kept sighing, ¡°damn it! what the hell is going on?!¡± the east sea¡¯s representative said arrogantly, ¡°hey! you guys need our east sea empire to save the world!¡± on the other hand, the representative of the dragon country was sitting quietly. although nobody could tell how he felt, he looked a little nervous. the representatives of the other countries were either stunned, panicked, or helpless. after a while, dent, the president of the lighthouse country, came to the stage. dent was the one who held the meeting. when he appeared, the conference hall instantly fell silent. everyone was looking at dent. at the same time, dent clapped his hands. behind him, a huge projection screen opened, and a projection immediately appeared. on the projection screen was a projection of the entrance to the sirius wolf secret realm, which is situated on mount heaven-returning. dent turned to look at the screen. afterward, he stood solemnly in front of the conference table. ¡°everyone, we are about to face the darkest moment of human society!¡± dent began his speech. the expressions of the representatives of the various countries were uncertain and gradually worsened. meanwhile. in the sirius wolf secret realm. bai zun was holding the immortal-slaying sword and continuously using the sky soaring sword technique. together with the sky soaring domain, he was fighting against hundreds of mythical-grade sirius wolves. ¡°buzz!¡± bai zun kept swinging his immortal-slaying sword, and it even split the void. however, none of the sirius wolves in front of him died. on the other hand, bai zun was forced to retreat by the hundreds of sirius wolves. it was only a few hundred sirius wolves. bai zun was only at the periphery of the secret realm. if bai zun went to the inner regions, there might be thousands or even hundreds of thousands of sirius wolves. bai zun instantly felt immense pressure. however¡­ even though it was hard to kill the sirius wolves, they would reward rich experience points. after killing a dozen sirius wolves, bai zun¡¯s experience points increased visibly. bai zun didn¡¯t retreat any further. his eyes turned cold, and his body came to a halt like a sword stuck on the ground. when bai zun faced the approaching sirius wolves, he raised his sword and condensed the figure of a blood-red sword. the crimson level skill, the sky soaring judgment! the huge sword phantom descended, and the mythical-grade sirius wolves mutated beasts were slashed into a bloody mist! ¡°boom!¡± the aftershock of the great sword phantom even shook the entire sirius wolf secret realm! for a moment, bai zun could hear the sound of footsteps. he looked over and saw countless of them, like an endless number of sirius wolves! at a glance, bai zun couldn¡¯t see to the end! however, bai zun snorted coldly and stared at the sirius wolves in front of him. afterward¡­ bai zun slowly rose into the air. the immortal-slaying sword in bai zun¡¯s hand floated in front of him, and a blood-red light suddenly appeared, as if it wanted to split the world. ¡°buzz!¡± with a buzz, the blood-red light surged like a tide and gathered on the immortal-slaying sword! it was blood-light. a monstrous bloody light! the pack of sirius wolves stopped in their tracks and looked up! moreover¡­ the blood light was still changing. slowly, the blood light went from deep to light and was divided into nine layers. the blood color on the top layer was so thick that it seemed like it was about to overflow. the blood color on the bottom layer was faint like red water flowing. on the other hand, bai zun looked indifferent when he stood behind the nine layers of light that were slowly formed by the blood-red light. following that¡­ bai zun used the immortal-slaying sword as the core and formed the ¡°nine layers of hell¡± with the thick blood light. the power! the ferocity! most of the sirius wolves couldn¡¯t help but tremble just looking at it! after the ¡°nine layers of hell¡± were completed, bai zun was like a god who looked down on the world. after he slightly moved his finger, the ¡°nine layers of hell¡± descended! the crimson level skill, the nine-layer hell! ¡°boom!¡± the ¡°nine layers of hell¡± expanded rapidly. it expanded to the point where it trapped all the sirius wolves in sight! afterward, it shrank rapidly! the bloody light was like a knife. it shrank as it reaped the lives of the sirius wolves. for a moment, the sirius wolves howled in pain. the place was like hell on earth. crying, blood, and tears were everywhere, and corpses were also everywhere! on the other hand, bai zun was like a grim reaper from the abyss. his expression was gloomy and calm as he stood in the air, watching large groups of sirius wolves being stripped of their lives. bai zun¡¯s experience points were also increasing rapidly. the ¡°nine layers of hell¡± gradually shrank to nothing. corpses were everywhere in front of bai zun. the sirius wolves¡­ they were all dead! just like that, bai zun stepped on the corpses and walked step by step into the depths of the forest. on the other side. outside the sirius wolf secret realm. in the supreme conference hall, dent was finishing the speech. the general content of dent¡¯s speech was nothing more than to gather the power of the entire world to suppress the sirius wolf¡¯s secret realm and prevent mythical-grade mutated beasts from escaping and harming the world. after listening to dent¡¯s impassioned speech and realizing the reality, the representatives of many countries attached great importance to the issue and even agreed with dent¡¯s idea. however¡­ just as the conclusion was about to be reached, a shocking scene appeared on the projection screen in front of the conference hall. a figure flashed and escaped from the gate to the sirius wolf¡¯s secret realm on mount heaven-returning. ¡°darn it! look!¡± the representative of the kimchi nation slammed the table and stood up. his eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°what is that?¡± the east sea¡¯s representative also stood up. he was also shocked. other than them, many other representatives of different countries also noticed the figure that flashed across the projection screen. dent, who had just finished his speech, also looked at the projection in a daze. dent immediately ordered, ¡°replay! replay!¡± the subordinate nodded and immediately did as he was told. at this moment, the conference hall was a mess. all the representatives of different countries were anxiously waiting for the projection to replay. ten seconds later¡­ the scene on the projection screen began to replay. everyone, including dent, stared at the playback. the scene gradually stopped at the moment when the figure left the secret realm. however¡­ even though the resolution of the satellite camera was very high, the figure fixed on the screen was very blurry. it was impossible to recognize who it was. ¡°who is this?!¡± dent glared. ¡°the person came out alive?¡± the east sea¡¯s representative was shocked. one had to know that it was a mythical-grade secret realm! it included level 210 to level 240 mutated beasts! what did level 200 mean? level 200 meant that a mythical-grade monster could destroy the east sea! the east sea¡¯s representative was terrified! the representative of the kimchi nation swallowed his saliva again and again. he carefully and seriously stared at the image on the projection, trying to analyze who the blurry figure was. the representatives of the other countries were either shocked or terrified. only the representative of the dragon country sat in his seat and looked thoughtfully at the blurry figure on the screen. ¡°everyone, don¡¯t be anxious! we can¡¯t be sure that that person has conquered the mythical-grade secret realm!¡± dent steadied the situation in time and suppressed the noise. ¡°listen to me! it was very likely that that person had been forced out of the secret realm by the mythical-grade mutated beasts! therefore, we are still facing the risk of being trampled by the mythical-grade mutated beasts!¡± the representative of the kimchi nation suggested, ¡°darn it! hurry up and send a drone to take a look!¡± dent nodded and ordered his subordinates when everyone was looking at him. afterward, the subordinate relayed dent¡¯s order to deploy the army at the foot of mount heaven-returning. in less than five minutes, a drone appeared on the screen of the satellite projection. everyone stared at the drone at the same time. the drone slowly approached the mythical-grade secret realm. it was almost there. the representatives also tensed up and became nervous. however¡­ just as the drone was dozens of meters away from the secret realm, the mythical-grade secret realm¡¯s door suddenly lost its light and shattered like a shattered stone. the entire conference hall fell silent for half a minute. the mythical-grade secret realm¡­ it¡­ it was shattered¡­ since it was shattered, it meant¡­ it meant that someone had conquered the mythical-grade secret realm! the blurry figure that only the satellite could capture had conquered a mythical-grade secret realm! half a minute later, everyone was speaking in the supreme conference hall. the representatives of the various countries contacted their higher-ups and prepared to leave. dent hadn¡¯t recovered from his shock. he kept shaking his head and repeated, ¡°how is that possible?¡± however, the representative of the dragon country had secretly left. Chapter 28 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation bai zun soon returned to storm city. bai zun placed one hand on his chest, and there were traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. he told ye shuishui not to let anyone disturb him and returned to his bedroom. although ye shuishui didn¡¯t know what had happened to bai zun, she gradually became worried after she saw his pale face. bai zun returned to his bedroom, sat cross-legged, and took a deep breath. the mythical-grade secret realms were terrifying. putting aside the countless level 200 monsters, bai zun managed to defeat the level 240 mutated beast ¡°boss,¡± the sirius wolf king, at the cost of being injured. ¡°i still can¡¯t easily challenge the mythical-grade secret realms.¡± bai zun was in deep thought. the sirius wolf king was considered weak among mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°bosses.¡± however, bai zun felt it was already difficult for him to deal with the sirius wolf king. if bai zun were unlucky and encountered more elite monsters and stronger ¡°bosses,¡± he might not even be able to escape alive, let alone conquer it. ¡°i still have to level up first.¡± bai zun took a deep breath and slowly regulated his breathing. after a few hours. bai zun slowly opened his eyes, and his bodily functions were restored to normal. ¡°the mythical-grade weapon, the sirius wolf tyrant saber.¡± bai zun stood up and took out a piece of mythical-grade equipment from his spatial dragon ring. the sirius wolf tyrant saber was big and wide. when it stood upright, it almost reached bai zun¡¯s shoulder. moreover, the broad back of the saber was wider than some men¡¯s waists. since bai zun was a holy swordsman, he didn¡¯t need a saber. ye shuishui was a bizarre gunman who mainly used a pistol. ¡°let¡¯s see who in the guild can use it.¡± bai zun pondered and decided to give the mythical-grade weapon to the guild members. mythical-grade weapons were rare and powerful. even though bai zun was worth tens of billions, he had only drawn the immortal-slaying sword before the game invaded. as bai zun had expected, only 11 mythical-grade weapons could be obtained on earth at the current stage. two were with bai zun, and the other nine were in the mythical-grade secret realms that nobody had conquered. ¡°after leveling up, i¡¯ll take the guild members to conquer the secret realms.¡± bai zun planned. afterward, bai zun looked out the window. it was already dark outside, and the moon hung high in the sky. bai zun opened the guild member list and scanned through them one by one according to their strength. he stared at the name of a fourth transition male member with the class ¡°battle swordsman.¡± ¡°i¡¯ll choose you.¡± bai zun¡¯s expression was calm as he held the saber and looked out the window. the buzz broke the silence, and the sirius wolf tyrant saber flew into the distance. the sirius wolf tyrant saber landed on the ground dozens of seconds later. it pierced straight in front of the residence of a guild member. due to the loud noise, the ¡°battle swordsman¡± was so frightened that he immediately left the house to check. however¡­ when he saw the sirius wolf tyrant saber, he was stunned. the sirius wolf tyrant saber was stabbed into the ground. it continuously released its mythical-grade might, which caused people to tremble in terror. the male member didn¡¯t dare to step forward. his wife and children also left their homes. when they saw the sirius wolf tyrant saber, they were all shocked. afterward, bai zun¡¯s calm voice sounded out of thin air. ¡°it¡¯s yours.¡± the male member was stunned again. however, he soon understood the situation! he could recognize that it was the president¡¯s voice! he thought, ¡°the president said that he wanted to give me this legendary weapon!¡± ¡°president, thank you!¡± the male member was extremely excited. he quickly went forward and pulled out the sirius wolf tyrant saber from the ground. afterward, he circulated his class strength and waved it twice. the sirius wolf tyrant saber¡¯s terrifying and unparalleled aura was constantly spreading out. it even shook the air, and the space seemed to be about to shatter. after replacing the original gold-grade weapon, the male member put away his saber and kneeled in the direction of bai zun¡¯s villa, kowtowing several times. it was a mythical-grade weapon! even before the invasion, bai zun was the only one on the entire server who had it, let alone after the invasion! as a player, the male member understood the meaning of having a mythical-grade weapon. with a mythical-grade weapon, he dared to fight a level 150 diamond-level mutated beast ¡°boss¡± alone with his fourth transition and level 138 strength! it was the confidence that high-quality weapons gave him! the male member felt that a few words of thanks and a few kowtows weren¡¯t enough for bai zun. the male member held the sirius wolf tyrant saber and swore in his heart that he would live and die with the nightmare guild for the rest of his life! ¡­ after casually handing over the mythical-grade weapon, bai zun stretched his body and prepared to leave the bedroom. however¡­ when bai zun reached the living room, ye shuishui rushed forward. ¡°boss, you¡¯re finally out.¡± ye shuishui¡¯s small face looked a little nervous, causing bai zun to frown slightly. ye shuishui explained the situation, ¡°when you were in seclusion, the officials came more than ten times to look for you.¡± bai zun thought, ¡°the officials?¡± ¡°why are the officials here again? didn¡¯t we agree on this before?¡± bai zun was also a little confused, and he asked, ¡°where are they?¡± ye shuishui said, ¡°i let them stay in the living room.¡± bai zun nodded his head and moved his feet lightly. he was fast and arrived in the living room in a few seconds. as soon as bai zun arrived in the living room, the dozen or so people sitting on the sofa stood up one after another. ¡°mr. lord of the sword.¡± the leader was still wang yi. his expression and tone were equally respectful, and his posture was humble. he came to bai zun¡¯s side and said with a smile, ¡°i don¡¯t know if you have time now¡­¡± ¡°get to the point.¡± bai zun glanced at him indifferently. wang yi immediately stopped being polite and went straight to the point. ¡°it¡¯s like this. not long ago, the lighthouse country held the worldwide supreme meeting. they said that someone had invaded a mythical-grade secret realm¡­¡± wang yi then told bai zun about the event that had caught everyone¡¯s attention when he conquered the mythical-grade secret realm. hearing this, bai zun was a little surprised. bai zun didn¡¯t expect his attack on a secret realm to attract so much attention. wasn¡¯t it just a secret realm? ¡°the representative of our country saw the satellite photo of the supreme meeting. he felt the blurry figure looked a little familiar. the president of the dragon country asked me to ask you about the person who attacked the secret realm¡­¡± when wang yi said it, his voice was a little low, and he was even more careful. he asked, ¡°is that you?¡± bai zun glanced at him and nodded lightly. other than wang yi, even the dozen or so people behind him immediately widened their eyes in shock. they all thought, ¡°he conquered a mythical-grade secret realm?!¡± one had to know that the weakest monster in the mythical-grade secret realm was level 210, and the strongest ¡°boss¡± was level 240! however, the lord of the sword in front of them had conquered the mythical-grade secret realm! what did it mean? it meant that the lord of the sword was at least level 240! this! among the dozen or so people sent by the officials, the most powerful level 130 fourth transition player was the most shocked. his mouth was wide open, and he couldn¡¯t close it for a moment. he thought, ¡°it¡¯s already difficult for me to conquer a diamond-grade secret realm. however, you¡¯ve conquered a mythical-grade secret realm?¡± the rankings of the secret realms were diamond, purple-gold, legendary, and mythical. while everyone was still in shock, bai zun¡¯s voice remained, and he asked, ¡°is there anything else?¡± ¡°no¡­ nothing¡­¡± wang yi gulped. he was still in shock. the purpose of wang yi¡¯s visit this time was to confirm whether bai zun had conquered the mythical-grade secret realm. unexpectedly¡­ it was! without saying anything else, bai zun turned around and left. when wang yi and a dozen others looked at bai zun, his figure slowly disappeared at the end of the living room. Chapter 29 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation at lighthouse country, the satellite base. it was an office floor specialized in detecting the world¡¯s top ten mythical-grade secret realms. no, it should be the top nine mythical-grade secret realms. the person in charge of the office, neil, was sitting in his office leisurely, drinking coffee. suddenly, someone pushed open the door, and his subordinate¡¯s hurried roar scared him so much that he spilled his coffee all over the table. ¡°sir! something bad happened, sir!¡± ¡°speak!¡± neil looked at the brown coffee on the table and glared at his subordinate. ¡°there¡¯s something unusual happening in the nine mythical-grade secret realms!¡± the subordinate¡¯s eyes were filled with anxiety and fear. neil¡¯s body trembled when he heard that. neil immediately forgot about the spilled coffee and became nervous. neil quickly stood up from his desk and called his subordinates to the monitoring center. after a while, they arrived at the monitoring center. neil stared at the nine scenes on the big screen. the nine scenes corresponded to the nine mythical-grade secret realms. at a glance, they were still and picturesque. there was no sign that anything unusual had happened. neil immediately glared at his subordinate and scolded, ¡°oh my goodness! how could you lie?¡± the subordinate said aggrievedly, ¡°there was indeed a little dragon turtle crawling out of the dragon turtle secret realm just now.¡± ¡°replay!¡± neil didn¡¯t object to his subordinate. instead, he gave him a chance to prove himself. the subordinate quickly came to the workbench and replayed the scene where he saw the little dragon turtle. he set it at five times slower, ten times slower, and twenty times slower. until it was a hundred times slower. at this moment, the subordinate was dumbfounded. ¡°did the little dragon turtle disappear?¡± the subordinate blinked and stared at the screen. neil glared at him and said in a frustrated tone, ¡°is it your illusion?¡± meanwhile, neil remembered the cup of coffee that he spilled on the table. neil recalled that he had just freshly brewed the coffee. the subordinate tried to explain, ¡°dear mr. neil, please trust me. i saw it just now.¡± ¡°i don¡¯t think you¡¯re suitable for this job.¡± neil glanced at him coldly and said, ¡°i¡¯ll transfer you to another team tomorrow. important things should be left to professionals. unfortunately, it¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re not.¡± after neil finished his words, he turned around and left. the subordinate stared at the screen in a daze, frowning in confusion. he just¡­ he just saw the little dragon turtle leave the secret realm. but why? the subordinate was puzzled. ¡­ bai zun had been conquering secret realms for the past few days. bai zun had improved his rank from level 215 to level 220, but he was still 20 levels away from the requirement to achieve his eighth transition. bai zun raised his immortal-slaying sword and killed another legendary-grade mutated beast. after killing the legendary-grade mutant beast, he took the legendary-grade equipment it had dropped and swiftly left the secret realm. as bai zun walked, he glanced at his attribute panel and couldn¡¯t help but feel tired. according to the current situation, if bai zun wanted to level up to 20 levels, he would need to conquer a terrifying number of legendary-grade secret realms. perhaps¡­ bai zun needed to take down all the legendary-grade secret realms in the dragon country. bai zun murmured, ¡°so i can only go and conquer the mythical-grade secret realms?¡± when bai zun conquered the mythical-grade secret realm, the sirius wolf secret realm, last time, he was only level 213. it had been quite difficult for him to fight against a group of level 210 to level 240 monsters and ¡°bosses.¡± bai zun wondered if things would be better now that he was level 220. as bai zun thought about it, he stopped thinking and let out a breath before stepping out of the secret realm. afterward, bai zun floated in the air, stepped on the immortal-slaying sword, and rushed toward the storm city. ten days ago, bai zun had given the guild members an order to meet the requirements for their class transition within ten days. since it was the tenth day, bai zun was going back to test the members¡¯ strengths. at the same time, bai zun would also rank the current members according to their strengths. after all, bai zun couldn¡¯t rely on himself to conquer the dimensional world in the future. bai zun soon returned to storm city on the immortal-slaying sword. bai zun didn¡¯t go directly to storm square but returned to his villa. bai zun remembered ye shuishui contacted him the day before yesterday, saying that someone from the lighthouse country wanted to talk to him. bai zun wasn¡¯t sure why the people from the lighthouse country had come, but he didn¡¯t stop conquering the secret realm. instead, he left them hanging for two days. soon, bai zun returned to his villa. ye shuishui quickly went up to him. bai zun instructed, ¡°call those people from the lighthouse country to my study.¡± ye shuishui nodded. bai zun went to the study and sat on the chair for a minute. afterward, someone knocked on the door. bai zun said indifferently, ¡°you may enter.¡± someone opened the door to the study. two beautiful western women with blonde hair and blue eyes walked in. they had slim waists, and they wore tight sheath skirts. they perfectly showed their nice curves, making them look alluring. however, bai zun only glanced at them. when he looked at them, his eyes didn¡¯t show any emotion. the beautiful lady from lighthouse country walked over with a smile and sat down on the chair in front of bai zun. ¡°i¡¯m shalila, and this is ally.¡± one of the beauties from lighthouse country showed a pretty smile. her voice was magnetic and seductive. she said, ¡°i¡¯ve long heard of the lord of the sword. now that i¡¯ve seen you today, you¡¯re indeed¡­¡± bai zun interrupted coldly and said, ¡°get to the point.¡± shalila and ally looked at each other awkwardly. afterward, she adjusted her smile and said. ¡°here¡¯s the situation. lord of the sword, i¡¯m here on behalf of the lighthouse country¡¯s officials.¡± ¡°we want to invite you to join lighthouse country.¡± shalila smiled as if she were confident in winning over bai zun. bai zun said indifferently, ¡°that¡¯s all?¡± ¡°yes.¡± shalila nodded. ¡°well, you can go back.¡± bai zun ruthlessly chased them away. although he didn¡¯t directly refuse, actions were always more direct than words. bai zun rejected lighthouse country¡¯s offer. shalila was stunned, and her beautiful eyes revealed some disbelief. ¡°lord of the sword, you should know.¡± ¡°if you bring the nightmare guild to our lighthouse country, we can give you countless resources! if you want it, the lighthouse country will do its best to satisfy you!¡± shalila¡¯s tone and appearance were serious, but bai zun showed no mercy. bai zun coldly refused, ¡°no need.¡± in the chaotic era, one could only stand firm if they were strong. the lighthouse country was powerful, but it was already in the past. in the new era, the strongest country of the old era was like ashes, dissipating with a single blow. bai zun ignored shalila and ally. afterward, he stood up and was about to leave the study. ¡°we can give you beautiful women, power, and resources!¡± ¡°if you agree, we can accompany you tonight.¡± seeing that bai zun was going to leave, shalila became anxious. as she chased after him, she immediately spoke. however, bai zun stepped on the immortal-slaying sword and flew into the sky after he left his villa. shalila could only look at the man¡¯s back until he disappeared into the clouds. at this moment, ally also came out. ally frowned and asked, ¡°sister, what should we do now?¡± ¡°return to the country and report everything.¡± shalila signaled ally to leave with a calm expression. before roping bai zun in, the lighthouse country had expected him to refuse. moreover, the lighthouse country also set up a series of plans for how they would respond if bai zun refused. if they couldn¡¯t become partners, they could only become enemies. otherwise, if the lighthouse country left bai zun in the dragon country, dent, the president of the lighthouse country, would have insomnia. Chapter 30 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation a moment later, bai zun stepped on the immortal-slaying sword and slowly landed on the storm square. bai zun could see 50 guild members gathered in the storm square when he was landing. seeing bai zun arrive, everyone fell silent and looked at him. ¡°greetings, president!¡± just like their gazes, when bai zun arrived, the 50 members greeted him respectfully in unison. bai zun¡¯s expression was indifferent as he glanced across everyone. afterward, bai zun looked at ye shuishui, who was approaching him. bai zun asked, ¡°are you done recording their information?¡± ¡°it¡¯s done.¡± ye shuishui nodded. she then took out a small notebook and read the recorded data to bai zun. ¡°there are 50 guild members, and 35 have successfully achieved their fifth transition. there are still 15 members. although they have reached the level 150 requirement of the fifth transition, they are stuck because they lacked one or two class transition materials.¡± ye shuishui said as she flipped the pages. bai zun nodded. after ye shuishui finished speaking, he handed over a spatial ring and said, ¡°there are hundreds of thousands of transition materials here. ask dozens of people to sort them out and put them in the storm treasury. afterward, find the class transition materials that the 15 people need and give the materials to them.¡± ye shuishui nodded as she took the spatial ring. the ¡°dozens of people to help in distributing the transition materials¡± that bai zun mentioned were the family members of the guild members. of course, bai zun wouldn¡¯t ask them to help for free. he would reward them with some resources. bai zun asked, ¡°did you record all the players¡¯ levels and classes?¡± ye shuishui flipped through the small notebook and said, ¡°yes.¡± bai zun instructed, ¡°split these 50 people into 10 groups according to different classes and ranges, and each group will have a leader to command. if they are not satisfied, tell them to come to me.¡± ¡°alright!¡± ye shuishui quickly took a pen and recorded it in her small notebook. ye shuishui had been extremely busy ever since she became vice president. ye shuishui was busy coordinating the development of the nightmare guild. although bai zun didn¡¯t care about the guild¡¯s daily matters, ye shuishui didn¡¯t complain much. she knew that he was working hard to improve his strength outside. in this chaotic era, strength was everything. moreover, ye shuishui relied on bai zun to live comfortably after the invasion of the game. she also had a certain status and strength. no matter what, ye shuishui would spare no effort to help bai zun manage the guild. as long as bai zun needed ye shuishui, she would have no complaints. after giving a few instructions, bai zun left with his sword while the other members were watching him. ¡°the president is so handsome! i want to give birth to his children!¡± ¡°how are you going to give birth when you¡¯re a man?¡± ¡°hey! what level do you think the president is at? which transition is he in?¡± ¡°tsk-tsk! i don¡¯t dare to think about it. since we can all be in the fifth transition, the president should at least be in his sixth transition!¡± ¡°the sixth transition? who are you looking down on?! i guess the president is in his eighth transition!¡± ¡°what the heck? how strong is the eighth transition player? can he kill me with a glance?¡± ¡°hahaha! the stronger the boss is, the more assured i am about the safety of my wife and son!¡± ¡°me too, me too.¡± ¡°fortunately, i came to the guild. i wonder what those 30 unlucky fellows who didn¡¯t come to the guild would think, hahaha!¡± ¡°we should work hard to level up for the president!¡± when bai zun left, the silent pressure in storm square also disappeared. the guild members relaxed and started chatting. ¡­ bai zun returned to the villa¡¯s study room and began to write and draw on a piece of paper. his brows would sometimes furrow and sometimes relax. ¡°according to the time, the sea clan should be landing on the ground soon.¡± bai zun stared at the paper with a solemn expression. the sea clan. the sea clan was a clan that slept in the boundless ocean. in the early stages of the game invasion, they would wake up from their slumber and use their terrifying power to build cities on the sea and land on the ground to seize human territory. in bai zun¡¯s previous life, the sea clan fought countless battles with the human race after awakening. the human race had lost numerous times, but they had never triumphed. the human race¡¯s living space gradually became smaller. after that, the sea clan gradually took over the earth. they used the identity of the natives of earth to start a war with the mutated beasts. as for the human race, they could only stay in one place and watch the war between the two races. back then, the human race was so weak that humans couldn¡¯t withstand any aftershocks. however, since bai zun reincarnated, he wouldn¡¯t allow such a scene to happen again. bai zun swore that he would lead the human race to fight the sea clan back to the boundless sea! he would tell them that the land belongs to the human race! it didn¡¯t belong to the sea clan! bai zun solemnly raised his sword finger and lightly drew a line on the paper. the paper immediately shattered like fine powder and disappeared. bai zun¡¯s next main task was to level up as soon as possible. bai zun¡¯s seventh transition strength wasn¡¯t enough to fight with the sea clan. bai zun at least had to achieve his eighth transition. therefore, bai zun didn¡¯t rest for long and continued to conquer the legendary-grade secret realms. due to the establishment of the nightmare guild, the secret realms around autumn-water city, regardless of size, were destroyed. someone posted the matter on the internet a few days ago. it even caused an enthusiastic discussion. the netizens all expressed that there were many secret realms around them and hoped that the nightmare guild would send members to take a look. in addition, other than the nightmare guild, other guilds had also been established during this time. however, they weren¡¯t as famous as the nightmare guild and weren¡¯t noticed by many people. at the same time. in the dragon country official¡¯s conference hall. li banxian sat at the side of the conference table. he looked indifferent, but his eyes were filled with joy. ever since wang yi invited li banxian to become the leader of the player¡¯s alliance, li banxian has been looking forward to the player¡¯s alliance recruiting people. at that time, he would appear as the leader of the player¡¯s alliance and become famous. the day had finally arrived. after the meeting ended, the player¡¯s alliance would officially announce to the public that they were recruiting members! at that time, with li banxian¡¯s identity as the alliance leader, he would be above tens of thousands of people and could summon tens of thousands of people. wouldn¡¯t that be great? li banxian had beautiful fantasies about the future. afterward, he couldn¡¯t help but recall the past. li banxian was banned for life for continuously cheating in the college entrance examination, fired for insulting customers when washing dishes, and almost overturned the entire assembly line when he worked in the factory. his life wasn¡¯t going well, so he chose to stay at home and live a decadent life of eating instant noodles and playing games all day. just when li banxian thought that he was going to be good-for-nothing for the rest of his life, the game invaded reality. li banxian had gone from a fat and failed homebody to a big shot in the eyes of others due to the game¡¯s feedback on his strength. he had even become the leader of the player¡¯s alliance. ¡°as expected, i¡¯m the chosen one!¡± sitting at the side of the conference table, li banxian raised his head slightly and smiled. he showed an arrogant expression. li banxian thought, ¡°i have the strength of a fifth transition player. who else in this world could defeat me?¡± ¡°i can¡¯t think of it. i really can¡¯t.¡± ¡°i!¡± ¡°li banxian!¡± ¡°i¡¯m invincible in the world!¡± perhaps it got better the more li banxian thought about it. when wang yi, who had sent him to the high position of alliance leader, entered the conference hall and greeted him politely, li banxian only glanced at him briefly and replied faintly. it was as if there was a difference in status, and it would be beneath li banxian to talk to wang yi. wang yi was naturally unhappy with li banxian¡¯s attitude. Chapter 31 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation wang yi thought, ¡°i¡¯m the one who appointed you as the alliance leader. why are you looking down on me?¡± ¡°even the lord of the sword can communicate with me normally. are you stronger than him?¡± although wang yi was unhappy and complained in his heart, he still had to be polite when facing li banxian. after officially establishing the player¡¯s alliance, the previous player¡¯s alliance creation office would be disbanded. wang yi, who was the chief of the player¡¯s alliance creation office, would automatically merge into the player¡¯s alliance. he got the position of deputy leader to assist li banxian in managing the alliance. li banxian sat down arrogantly. no matter who came to greet him, he would ignore them. at most, he would glance at them and give the other party a short reply. it caused the higher-ups of the government who attended the meeting to be dissatisfied. however, just like wang yi, they could only smile awkwardly due to the other party¡¯s strength and status. soon, everyone arrived, and the meeting began. ¡°the player¡¯s alliance will announce the recruitment of members tomorrow. pre-registration will begin first. after a week, the official registration will begin.¡± sitting at the head of the table, the higher-ups in charge of recruiting alliance members picked up a piece of paper and said. however¡­ before he could finish speaking, li banxian, who was sitting beside him, suddenly raised his hand and slammed the table. he glanced at him indifferently and disdainfully. ¡°why do we need the pre-registration process?¡± li banxian questioned. the conference room fell silent. everyone could hear the sound of a pin dropping to the ground. the person in charge of recruitment was stunned. he looked at li banxian and explained with a smile, ¡°it¡¯s like this. for the sake of publicity, we¡¯ll start the pre-registration process before we make it official.¡± li banxian waved his hand impatiently and said firmly, ¡°don¡¯t go around in circles. recruit members for me tomorrow.¡± the person in charge maintained a forced smile and wanted to explain further. ¡°it¡¯s like this, alliance leader. you might not know¡­¡± ¡°shut up.¡± li banxian interrupted him coldly. as his aura surged, his strength as a fifth transition player also burst out, causing the entire conference room to be under pressure. ¡°how dare you question me?¡± li banxian¡¯s gaze was cold as he stared at the person in charge, who was already sweating. ¡°i don¡¯t. i don¡¯t dare.¡± the person in charge was just an ordinary person. therefore, he naturally couldn¡¯t withstand the pressure of li banxian¡¯s aura. he was sweating profusely and couldn¡¯t breathe normally. it was as if li banxian didn¡¯t hear the person in charge¡¯s words. he growled in a low voice and directly sentenced him, ¡°are you trying to rebel?¡± ¡°i¡­¡± seeing how domineering li banxian was, the person in charge panicked and wanted to explain. however¡­ ¡°whoosh!¡± a long sword suddenly pierced through his chest! the person in charge¡¯s eyes froze, and he fell to the ground in a daze. the person in charge¡­ he was dead! initially, the conference room¡¯s atmosphere was depressing. however, everyone was also in fear! wang yi slammed the table and shouted at li banxian, ¡°what are you doing?!¡± li banxian glared at wang yi and roared, ¡°do you want to die too?!¡± a monstrous aura instantly suppressed wang yi. instantly, wang yi¡¯s legs went weak, and he couldn¡¯t help but kneel on the ground. ¡°since you have some friendship with me, i¡¯ll forget about it this time. if there¡¯s a next time¡­¡± li banxian smiled wickedly. he glanced at wang yi and everyone in the conference room. he continued. ¡°i¡¯ll grant you the death penalty!¡± wang yi kneeled on the ground, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. his anger surged. however, since he was weak, his anger also mixed with his fear of death. there were many players in the conference room. however, their strength was inferior to li banxian¡¯s as a fifth transition player. therefore, under li banxian¡¯s deterrence, everyone swallowed their saliva and lowered their heads in fear. they didn¡¯t dare to speak because they were afraid of attracting his attention. ¡°all of you, listen to my orders! tomorrow¡­¡± ¡°recruit alliance members from all over the country!¡± li banxian slammed the table and decided on the matter. promotion? pre-registration? no! li banxian wanted to achieve everything in one step! li banxian wanted to fill the alliance members to the brim in one step! li banxian wanted to stand above millions of people with one step! li banxian looked at the high-ups in the conference room, who were completely intimidated by him, with a smile. his chest was filled with a strong sense of satisfaction. ¡­ the next day. the officials announced the establishment of the official player¡¯s alliance. it would recruit players from all over the dragon country. regardless of level or class, everyone could join as long as they were players. they could immediately join the alliance. for a moment, all the players on the internet reacted. regardless of whether the first transition players or the third transition players responded, they all wanted to head to the capital, dragon capital, to attend the alliance joining ceremony. however¡­ far away in the autumn-water city¡¯s storm city. bai zun sat in the villa¡¯s study, frowning. ¡°the official player¡¯s alliance is recruiting members so quickly?¡± bai zun looked puzzled. bai zun thought, ¡°if i remember correctly, in my previous life, the officials established the official player¡¯s alliance a long time later. it recruited and gathered the power of the players in the dragon country when the sea clan appeared and was ready to make a move.¡± ¡°why does the official player¡¯s alliance start to recruit members now?¡± ¡°is it because my appearance has messed up some kind of karma?¡± bai zun pondered. however, no matter what, it was an indisputable fact that the official player¡¯s alliance had begun to recruit players. ¡°plans can¡¯t keep up with the changes.¡± bai zun stroked his chin and pondered. bai zun originally wanted to wait for all the guild members to achieve their fifth transition before releasing the news to recruit new members for the nightmare guild. however, since the official player¡¯s alliance was recruiting members first, bai zun felt that his nightmare guild had to catch up as soon as possible. otherwise¡­ the official player¡¯s alliance might recruit some of the future experts. at that time, the nightmare guild would suffer a great loss. furthermore, bai zun recalled that even though the official player¡¯s alliance had been mighty in his previous life, the sea clan had ultimately defeated it. the official player¡¯s alliance was almost at the point of disbanding. it would be a waste to hand over the potential players to them. bai zun immediately called ye shuishui over. bai zun told ye shuishui, who had rushed over. ¡°from now on, our nightmare guild will officially recruit new members!¡± ¡°we will¡­ we will recruit 10,000 people!¡± ye shuishui was startled. perhaps she trusted bai zun very much. she immediately nodded with a solemn expression. immediately after, word spread on the internet that the nightmare guild was also looking for new members, igniting enthusiastic discussions. [the cookie that loves to smile: what? the nightmare guild is recruiting new members? is it the guild that was founded by the lord of the sword, who ranked first on the five rankings before the game invaded?] [exploding the sky with a ¡°pi¡±: really? i heard that the current members of the nightmare guild are very powerful. they have conquered all the hundreds of secret realms around autumn-water city in just a few days!] [moshi moshi: i was preparing to go to dragon capital to join the official player¡¯s alliance. since the nightmare guild has also started recruiting members, i¡¯m going back on my word!] [the input method: i¡¯m asking because i don¡¯t know. who is stronger? the leader of the official player¡¯s alliance or the president of the nightmare guild?] [hand-made lemon tea: is the previous commenter nuts? how strong can the leader of the official player¡¯s alliance be? is he worthy of being compared to the lord of the sword?] [would you love me if i were a dj: haha! i¡¯m dying of laughter. what are the identity, strength, and status of the alliance leader? how dare he compare himself to the lord of the sword? the lord of the sword probably only needed to move his finger slightly to make the alliance leader kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.] [if you still love me: although i don¡¯t know how powerful the new leader of the official player¡¯s alliance is, i¡¯m sure that lord of the sword is the strongest person in the dragon country. even though i don¡¯t know how strong he is.] [i¡¯ll hug you: lord of the sword should be in his fifth transition now, right? tsk-tsk! it¡¯s too scary. other than eating and sleeping, i¡¯ve tried hard to clear secret realms, but i¡¯m only in my third transition.] [the fence-sitter: why should we join the official player¡¯s alliance? brothers, follow me to the nightmare guild!] [¡°will¡± be named: thank you for your invitation. i just arrived in dragon capital, but i¡¯ve already turned around and ran to autumn-water city.] [the great sage: what can the official player¡¯s alliance use to compete with the nightmare guild? those who join the official player¡¯s alliance but not the nightmare guild are idiots!] [archfire: there are only 10,000 slots! brothers, let¡¯s go!] [level 8 great gale: what the heck? there are only 10,000 slots! brothers, we have to hurry up. if we are too late, we will regret it for the rest of our lives! i¡¯ll run first!] [¡­] for a moment, the netizens were praising the nightmare guild and belittling the official player¡¯s alliance. li banxian was so angry that he was about to explode while sitting in the player¡¯s alliance¡¯s office. Chapter 32 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°i¡¯m weaker than the lord of the sword? i¡¯m in the fifth transition and can even achieve the sixth transition soon! how can the lord of the sword fight me?!¡± the more li banxian looked at it, the angrier he became. his anger surged, and he threw the phone on the ground. with a bang, the phone shattered into pieces. at the same time, there was a trembling knock on the door. ¡°get in here!¡± li banxian was still in a fit of anger, and his tone was harsh. ¡°alliance leader¡­¡± the subordinate opened the door while trembling. he even walked softly, afraid that he would offend li banxian. ¡°if you have something to say, say it!¡± li banxian glared at him. ¡°it¡¯s like this¡­¡± although the subordinate was going to report something bad, he felt that since he was already here, he didn¡¯t dare leave casually. he could only bite the bullet and report. ¡°1342 registered players are preparing to join the alliance, but just now¡­¡± the subordinate glanced at li banxian¡¯s expression and lowered his head to look at the ground. at the same time, he said in a weaker voice, ¡°just now¡­ a thousand players have applied to withdraw their membership¡­¡± ¡°what did you say?!¡± li banxian glared and rushed to his subordinate. his roar caused the wind to tremble, and his subordinate was so frightened that his face looked worse than crying. ¡°i¡­ i¡­¡± when facing li banxian¡¯s question, the subordinate wanted to cry but had no tears. ¡°the nightmare guild! lord of the sword!¡± li banxian slapped his subordinate¡¯s face fiercely, causing him to fall to the side. there was almost a palm print on his face. on the other hand, li banxian seemed to feel that it wasn¡¯t enough to vent his anger. he summoned his long sword and smashed the items in the office crazily. ¡°damn it! damn it!¡± ¡°is the lord of the sword that powerful? why can he let you all run over like dogs after waving his hand?!¡± ¡°die! all of you must die!¡± li banxian¡¯s face flushed with anger. li banxian had planned to meet the first few thousand underlings as the alliance leader at night. he would say a few words to show off his power as the alliance leader and receive all kinds of worship and respect. however¡­ the nightmare guild had announced that they were recruiting new members. not only did the players who had planned to join the alliance turn around and rush to join the nightmare guild, but even the players who were going to attend the alliance joining ceremony also ran away. li banxian couldn¡¯t stand such grievances. since the game invaded reality and li banxian¡¯s strength soared, he has become even more reckless. no one had ever been able to gain an advantage from him. ¡°lord of the sword!¡± at this moment, li banxian¡¯s hatred for the lord of the sword reached its peak. li banxian thought, ¡°i¡¯m a fifth transition player, and i¡¯m going to achieve the sixth transition!¡± ¡°it¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that i¡¯m the strongest person in dragon country!¡± ¡°how dare the lord of the sword insult me?!¡± ¡°what a ridiculous thing!¡± li banxian immediately called his secretary over and growled while gritting his teeth. ¡°send a letter of challenge to that so-called lord of the sword! i want to destroy his nightmare guild in three days!¡± the secretary didn¡¯t dare say anything more. after nodding in agreement, he looked at the subordinate lying on the ground with unknown vital signs. he trembled and hurriedly left. in the evening, li banxian¡¯s challenge letter was posted online. li banxian stated that he would destroy the nightmare guild in three days! the internet was once again in a frenzy! [here comes the little fan: fuck! why is the leader of the player¡¯s alliance so confident? does he want to challenge the lord of the sword?! here comes the question. can he win? he even threatened to destroy the nightmare guild? i don¡¯t know if i should pity or laugh at him.] [little packet: haha! the alliance leader must have been sad. i heard that ever since the nightmare guild announced that they were recruiting new members, 90% of the players who were planning to join the player¡¯s alliance immediately left. the alliance leader must have been sad, so he issued a letter of challenge at this time! haha!] [all the best for the final exam: everyone, be serious. how dare the alliance leader issue a challenge to the lord of the sword? generally speaking, a person won¡¯t be brainless since he is a leader. is it because he knows the lord of the sword¡¯s strength and that he is strong? that¡¯s why he is so confident?] [moisten your lips: the previous comment makes sense. he must be smart since he is the leader. he might be powerful. he is smart to challenge the lord of the sword at this time. if he defeats lord of the sword, it will be beneficial for the player¡¯s alliance to recruit new members.] [i like both summer and winter: there¡¯s going to be a good show! i¡¯m not in a hurry to join the nightmare guild. let¡¯s wait for three days. if the alliance leader defeats the lord of the sword, it¡¯s better to go to the player¡¯s alliance.] [sprite with a sour plum: that¡¯s right! i¡¯m not in a hurry to join the nightmare guild. i¡¯ll see how things go.] [¡­] li banxian¡¯s challenge letter had caused many players who were preparing to join the nightmare guild to suddenly stop in their tracks. the popularity of the player¡¯s alliance and the nightmare guild also maintained a strange balance. at the same time, in the villa in storm city. bai zun also learned about the letter of challenge from ye shuishui. ¡°huh, should i say he is brainless or that he is confident?¡± bai zun only smiled at the challenge. bai zun could almost achieve his eighth transition. however, how dare li banxian speak so arrogantly when he didn¡¯t even know his strength? however, it was something good. li banxian gave bai zun a chance to show off his strength to the world. when bai zun suppressed li banxian with a wave of his hand, the dragon country¡¯s powerhouses, who were still waiting to join the nightmare guild, would swarm in like a swarm of bees. it was also good for the nightmare guild to recruit members. bai zun didn¡¯t hesitate. he immediately instructed ye shuishui, ¡°tell him that i accept his challenge, and i¡¯ll meet him in storm city in three days!¡± ¡°yes!¡± ye shuishui responded and left. bai zun didn¡¯t take the matter to heart. after resting for a while, he left the villa and continued to explore the legendary-grade secret realm. at the same time, bai zun¡¯s response to the challenge letter sent the internet into a frenzy. [magic, magic, i want magic: oh my goodness! the nightmare guild has responded? i¡¯m looking forward to the battle between the lord of the sword and the alliance leader three days later!] [hand-made lemon tea: i¡¯m selling sunflower seeds and cola in the front row! hurry up and buy what you need!] [why aren¡¯t you asleep yet: brothers, i¡¯ll be leaving first. i¡¯ll rush to autumn-water city tonight and find a good seat first!] [little author: great! it¡¯s decided! if the lord of the sword wins, i¡¯ll go to the nightmare guild. if the alliance leader wins, i¡¯ll go to the player¡¯s alliance!] [i lost my bluetooth headset: i agree!] [tea tree oil: i agree too!] [¡­] bai zun¡¯s response to li banxian¡¯s challenge spread quickly on the internet. it became increasingly popular overseas. far across the ocean, the lighthouse country¡¯s officials. the lighthouse country¡¯s president looked coldly at his subordinate, who was reporting the news. ¡°in other words, the leader of the dragon country official player¡¯s alliance sent a challenge letter to the lord of the sword of the nightmare guild because of the recruitment of the alliance, and the lord of the sword responded to him?¡± dent concluded. ¡°yes.¡± the subordinate nodded repeatedly. ¡°great!¡± although dent¡¯s eyes were cold, there were hints of joy and ruthlessness in them. ¡°since we can¡¯t rope him in, we can¡¯t keep him as a threat!¡± dent showed a gloomy expression. he still bore a grudge against bai zun for failing to win him over a few days ago. dent had said before that the lighthouse country and bai zun were either partners or enemies. it was obvious that bai zun became the lighthouse country¡¯s biggest enemy after he rejected its offer. there were no exceptions! dent asked his subordinate, ¡°which transition is robert in now?¡± robert was ranked second on the rankings before the game invasion in lighthouse country. however, due to luck and his hard work, he surpassed the first place and became the strongest player in the lighthouse country after the second strength feedback. robert was also the leader of the lighthouse country¡¯s superpower alliance. the subordinate said, ¡°he should have achieved his sixth transition.¡± dent immediately said, ¡°go and call him over. there¡¯s something important to discuss!¡± ¡°yes, sir!¡± the subordinate then left. watching his subordinate leave, dent showed an evil smile. all kinds of insidious plans unfolded in his mind. Chapter 33 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the east sea¡¯s officials. the east sea¡¯s president, dashan jie, looked at the news with a cold expression and a hint of arrogance. ¡°huh, is there internal strife in the dragon country?¡± ¡°the alliance leader? lord of the sword?¡± ¡°when mr. kim finishes his seclusion, they won¡¯t be the strongest players anymore.¡± immediately, dashan jie called his subordinates and asked, ¡°how is mr. kim¡¯s progress?¡± his subordinate reported, ¡°mr. kim is still in seclusion. he should be able to end his seclusion in two days.¡± ¡°great!¡± dashan jie showed an arrogant expression. there was also a hint of disdain. dashan jie had never taken the ¡°mere¡± dragon country seriously. ¡­ the incident of the challenge letter had become famous worldwide. li banxian hadn¡¯t been idle for the past three days. li banxian had been frantically exploring the diamond and purple-gold-grade secret realms over the past few days as he was still a few levels away from meeting the sixth transition requirement. due to li banxian¡¯s hard work, he reached level 180 in just a day, reaching the peak of the fifth transition and the threshold of the sixth transition. fortunately, li banxian had all the materials needed for his class transition. li banxian immediately started his seclusion and tried to break through the sixth transition! li banxian wanted to end his seclusion two days later as a sixth transition player and trample the nightmare guild! before li banxian started his seclusion, he was in high spirits. li banxian imagined how bai zun would prostrate at his feet and beg for mercy two days later. time flies. a day later. li banxian ended his seclusion as promised. the higher-ups of the alliance who came to pick up li banxian sighed at his success in breaking through to the sixth transition and his sudden increase in strength. ¡°alliance leader, congratulations on breaking through to the sixth transition! it¡¯ll be easy for you to trample the nightmare guild!¡± ¡°since the alliance leader is a sixth transition player, a mere lord of the sword is not worth mentioning!¡± ¡°haha! with the presence of our alliance leader, who dares to act rashly?¡± many lackeys were praising li banxian. li banxian also enjoyed being praised. li banxian smiled, and he was full of pride. after breaking through to the sixth transition, li banxian was bursting with confidence. li banxian dared to say he was the strongest player in the dragon country! li banxian thought, ¡°lord of the sword?¡± ¡°huh, he is just a piece of trash who relies on bragging.¡± among the alliance¡¯s higher-ups, wang yi stood at the back and looked at li banxian¡¯s arrogant expression. he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. after the dragon country¡¯s president learned that li banxian had issued a challenge letter to bai zun, he immediately summoned li banxian and advised him to recall it. however, li banxian didn¡¯t take the dragon country¡¯s president¡¯s words seriously. it made the dragon country¡¯s president furious. bai zun had conquered a mythical-grade secret realm before! even the weakest monster was level 210, equivalent to a seventh transition player in the human world! one could imagine how strong bai zun was when he could kill his way through the mythical-grade secret realm. bai zun was at least a seventh transition player! li banxian, a fifth transition player, wanted to challenge bai zun, a seventh transition player. what? wasn¡¯t li banxian courting death?! li banxian¡¯s ignorance made the dragon country¡¯s president furious. although the dragon country was angry, li banxian¡¯s strength could be considered among the top in the dragon country, aside from bai zun. li banxian was one of the strongest players in the world. the dragon country¡¯s president didn¡¯t want li banxian to die, nor did he want the dragon country to lose any strength. therefore, the dragon country¡¯s president asked wang yi, the deputy alliance leader, to persuade li banxian. however, how would wang yi dare to persuade li banxian? the last person who tried to persuade li banxian was still lying in the icu. wang yi shook his head and sighed, ¡°forget it, forget it. it¡¯s good for li banxian to die. it¡¯ll be a good thing if he dies!¡± ¡°vice alliance leader wang, what are you mumbling about?¡± next to wang yi, a higher-up in the alliance had just finished praising li banxian. when he heard wang yi¡¯s muttering, he turned around to ask. ¡°nothing.¡± wang yi smiled and brushed the matter aside. the higher-ups of the alliance didn¡¯t mind and continued to praise li banxian. however, they didn¡¯t praise li banxian for long. after a while, a subordinate came to report that someone from the lighthouse country had come to meet li banxian. ¡°bring them to the reception hall!¡± li banxian ordered and left. wang yi thought, ¡°what are the people from lighthouse country doing here?¡± as the vice alliance leader, wang yi was puzzled. however, wang yi could vaguely sense that it wasn¡¯t a good thing. wang yi immediately followed li banxian to the reception hall. however, when they reached the door of the reception hall, li banxian stopped wang yi. ¡°what are you doing here? get lost!¡± li banxian glared at wang yi and walked into the reception hall. wang yi¡¯s expression stiffened, and he immediately stopped. afterward, wang yi saw a few blonde-haired men and women walk past him and into the reception hall. wang yi¡¯s expression turned even paler. however, no one cared if wang yi¡¯s expression was good or bad. at the same time, in the reception hall. li banxian and the people from lighthouse country sat on the sofa. meanwhile, he showed a disdainful smile. the leader of the team from lighthouse country was a man. he said, ¡°alliance leader of the dragon country, tomorrow is the battle. are you confident in defeating the lord of the sword?¡± ¡°confidence?¡± li banxian sneered and said, ¡°what confidence do i need to defeat him? don¡¯t go around in circles. tell me, why are you guys here, and what do you want to tell me?¡± ¡°i think we have a common enemy.¡± the man from lighthouse country smiled and said, ¡°the leader of our country¡¯s superpower alliance, robert, has also recently broken through to the sixth transition. if you don¡¯t mind, you can join forces with robert tomorrow to ensure you can kill lord of the sword!¡± li banxian said expressionlessly, ¡°i disdain it.¡± the man from lighthouse country¡¯s face stiffened. disdain? disdain?! the man from lighthouse country even suspected that he had misheard li banxian¡¯s words. however, in the next second, li banxian¡¯s words were like a ruthless slap, slapping the man from lighthouse country in the face. ¡°he¡¯s just the lord of the sword. i can kill him single-handedly. i am not in a position where i must work with the lighthouse country.¡± perhaps li banxian thought that the lighthouse country was looking down on him. he said in a colder tone, ¡°tomorrow, all of you must open up your damn eyes and look at how i trample the nightmare guild!¡± without waiting for the people from the lighthouse country to reply, li banxian snorted and stood up. afterward, he raised his hand and said. ¡°send the guests out!¡± the people from lighthouse country were dumbfounded. ¡­ it was almost the time set in the challenge letter. the night before, countless powerful players gathered outside the nightmare guild to watch. due to the influx of players, the autumn-water city became extremely lively. it worried zuo yan, the chief of autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office. ¡°there are so many players. what if a few more third or fourth transition players fight in the city?¡± zuo yan couldn¡¯t help but frown when he thought about it. yesterday, four battles broke out in autumn-water city. most of them were third or fourth-transition players. one had to know that the autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office only had zuo yan as a fourth transition player, and there were only three to four third transition players. with such a severe lack of combat power, how could they maintain the security of autumn-water city? however¡­ just as zuo yan was worrying about the security issue, his subordinate brought him good news. ¡°chief! chief!¡± ¡°good news, chief! the vice president of the nightmare guild had just sent 10 players in the fifth transition over! she said they would help us maintain order and security in the autumn-water city!¡± the subordinate stammered and was out of breath. zuo yan was happy at first. however, he immediately felt shocked. ¡°you say¡­ the nightmare guild sent players¡­ players in the fifth transition?! there are 10 of them?!¡± zuo yan¡¯s eyes and mouth couldn¡¯t help but widen. fifth transition players! in the dragon country¡­ no, worldwide! the current strongest player is probably in the fifth transition, right? zuo yan had never heard of any sixth transition players appearing in any country. currently, the strongest player is only in the fifth transition! it was a rare existence on a global scale! however! but now, the nightmare guild sent 10 players in the fifth transition to help autumn-water city¡¯s player¡¯s management office maintain the city¡¯s security! this! it was hard for zuo yan not to be shocked! zuo yan immediately said, ¡°hurry up! hurry up and invite them over!¡± the subordinate didn¡¯t have time to adjust his breathing and quickly left the office. zuo yan paced back and forth in the office, his face filled with joy and shock. the security issue in autumn-water city had been resolved, which made zuo yan happy. he was shocked that the nightmare guild was so powerful! Chapter 34 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation three days after li banxian sent the challenge letter. li banxian looked arrogant when he led a group of alliance higher-ups to the autumn-water city. along the way, they also met many players. people captured a video of them and uploaded it on tiktok. it immediately attracted many people¡¯s attention. [who is surfing the internet: is today the duel between the leader of the player¡¯s alliance and the lord of the sword? oh my goodness! i have to hurry and go to the scene to see it!] [i lost my key: haha! i¡¯ve been at the venue since yesterday. i¡¯ve already prepared a small stool and am ready to watch a good show!] [when can i break through the third transition: who is stronger?

how dare he compete with the president? do you need me to test my skills with him first?¡± the guild members were all excited. bai zun smiled faintly. stepping on his sword, he soared into the air and was about to arrive at the city gate. on the other side. li banxian could see a huge city surrounded by extreme storms from afar. li banxian admitted that he was shocked when he saw the huge city. after being shocked, li banxian was jealous. li banxian was jealous that the lord of the sword had such a good city! ¡°huh, this city will be the base of our player¡¯s alliance after today!¡± li banxian sneered and was confident. a group of alliance higher-ups followed behind li banxian. when they saw the storm city, they were shocked. wang yi stood in the last row. he only glanced at the storm city and lowered his head. wang yi had other thoughts. he thought, ¡°if li banxian dies, the alliance leader¡¯s position will be vacant. who can be the leader of the player¡¯s alliance?¡± ¡°could it be me taking over the position because i¡¯m the vice president? however, i¡¯m not a player!¡± wang yi didn¡¯t want to be the alliance leader. while wang yi was scratching his head, the team suddenly stopped. while wang yi was thinking, they had already arrived at the storm city¡¯s gate. li banxian stood in the air, holding a purple-gold-grade sword. he fully unleashed his aura as a sixth transition player. it caused the spectators around the city to gasp. ¡°he¡­ li banxian is at least a sixth transition player!¡± ¡°be more confident. he is already a sixth transition player!¡± ¡°fuck! he is a sixth transition player! i have never heard that dragon country has a sixth transition player!¡± ¡°not to mention the dragon country. the other countries don¡¯t have sixth transition players either!¡± ¡°the alliance leader is something! i apologize for looking down on him before!¡± ¡°hmph! he¡¯s only a sixth transition player. do you dare say lord of the sword is weaker than a sixth transition player?¡± ¡°i reckon that lord of the sword is only a fifth transition player, or maybe a sixth transition player, but the possibility is too small.¡± ¡°oh my goodness! the lord of the sword is going to lose.¡± as li banxian revealed his strength, the spectators around the storm city immediately expressed that the lord of the sword would lose to li banxian. when listening to them, li banxian smiled. he enjoyed their praise. in storm city, the members of the nightmare guild showed a disdainful expression when li banxian appeared. ¡°how dare a sixth transition player be so arrogant? i was looking forward to nothing!¡± ¡°what a waste of time. i thought he was powerful!¡± ¡°let alone the president. i feel like i can fight him!¡± ¡°i can do it too!¡± the members of the nightmare guild lost their expectations of li banxian. however, the scene was noisy. moreover, they were separated from the spectators by the thick city wall. the sound wave from outside soon drowned out their voices. at this time, li banxian was about to call out to bai zun when he came over on his sword and stood in the air with him. bai zun¡¯s expression was indifferent, a stark contrast to li banxian¡¯s arrogant demeanor. ¡°huh, i thought you didn¡¯t dare to accept the challenge!¡± li banxian raised his head and looked at bai zun mockingly. ¡°after this battle, there will be no¡­¡± ¡°three attacks.¡± bai zun interrupted li banxian¡¯s words. ¡°after three attacks, you will die.¡± bai zun stared at him coldly. bai zun didn¡¯t immediately kill li banxian, but let li banxian attack him three times. it was to make the public¡¯s opinion even more sensational. it caused the nightmare guild to become even more sensational! ¡°arrogant!¡± li banxian was stunned, then his face turned red, and he roared in anger. he couldn¡¯t say another word. he only wanted to kill with violence! ¡°the heavenly tyrant sword!¡± li banxian waved his hand, and the purple-gold-grade sword appeared in his hand. a dense sword intent appeared, and it was aimed at bai zun! the hundreds of thousands of players who had come to observe the situation around storm city fell silent and focused their attention. the higher-ups of the alliance held their breaths behind li banxian. the members of the nightmare realm were smiling in the storm city. ye shuishui, who had initially been the most concerned, was now the least concerned. to be more precise, ye shuishui heaved a sigh of relief when she saw li banxian was only a sixth transition player. as bai zun¡¯s woman, although ye shuishui didn¡¯t know exactly how strong he was, she knew his general strength. the level of li banxian, who was only a sixth transition player, was the same as ye shuishui¡¯s. therefore, he was no threat to bai zun. for a moment, everyone saw li banxian use a dark radiance level skill, the heavenly tyrant sword technique! the shadow of a gray greatsword was formed by a sword¡¯s intent that appeared to be able to cut through the air. it slashed toward bai zun with a domineering and dense aura! the spectators were on pins and needles! bai zun remained indifferent. the huge sword phantom was about to land on bai zun¡¯s head. at this moment, the world seemed to be silent, and the flow of time slowed down. however¡­ bai zun moved. bai zun pushed his hand lightly, and the immortal-slaying sword under his feet instantly emitted a terrifying aura! Chapter 35 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°buzz!¡± the world fell silent after the buzz. everyone saw the immortal-slaying sword hit the gray sword¡¯s shadow! everyone held their breath! the immortal-slaying sword was undoubtedly tiny in front of the great sword phantom. however, the insignificance erupted with a terrifying power that seemed to be able to tear through space! li banxian was opposite bai zun. his expression gradually became solemn, and his forehead started to sweat. li banxian breathed rapidly. he gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, trying to cut off the immortal-slaying sword fighting against the great sword phantom. however¡­ in the end, li banxian couldn¡¯t take another step forward. li banxian¡¯s eyes widened in anger. on the other hand, bai zun¡¯s expression was as calm as before. after a few seconds, bai zun pushed his hand again, and the immortal-slaying sword slashed down along the edge of the great sword phantom as if it were cutting mud! it was like a kitchen knife splitting the bamboo in half! everyone was shocked! li banxian widened his eyes in disbelief. li banxian used all his strength and tried to recondense the great sword phantom to block the immortal-slaying sword. however¡­ it was useless. no matter how many times li banxian condensed the great sword phantom, the immortal-slaying sword would split it apart! it was simply unstoppable! ¡°it¡¯s impossible!¡± li banxian went crazy. li banxian gritted his teeth and held the purple-gold-grade sword. he leaped into the air and dashed toward the immortal-slaying sword! li banxian thought, ¡°i have¡­¡± ¡°i have a purple-gold-grade sword!¡± ¡°i¡¯m probably the only person in the dragon country who possesses such a high-grade weapon!¡± ¡°how can i not be a match for bai zun¡¯s sword?!¡± li banxian was arrogant. he looked like he must cut off the immortal-slaying sword! everyone could see li banxian getting closer and closer to the immortal-slaying sword! afterward, li banxian¡¯s purple-gold-grade sword collided with the immortal-slaying sword. afterward¡­ the purple-gold-grade sword shattered. the powerful recoil also blasted li banxian into the ground. the scene made everyone present widen their eyes and gasp. their weapons had just collided. however, it broke li banxian¡¯s weapon, and he was seriously injured. what?! this! everyone¡¯s eyes swept past li banxian, who had created a huge pit and turned to look at bai zun, who was hovering in the air calmly. the immortal-slaying sword slowly returned to bai zun¡¯s hands. he looked down at li banxian and said it coldly. ¡°two attacks left.¡± the entire place was silent, and bai zun¡¯s voice was incomparably loud. li banxian slowly climbed up from the pit. li banxian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at bai zun. meanwhile, his anger surged. it was obvious that li banxian wasn¡¯t convinced. afterward, li banxian took out another purple-gold-grade sword from the spatial tool. he didn¡¯t hesitate, used his skill again, and soared into the sky fiercely! ¡°the three thousand¡­ the three thousand swords demon-slaying technique!¡± li banxian roared. the long sword in his hand transformed into three thousand swords, and the bloody figures flowed out as he attacked bai zun! the skill was so powerful that just looking at it made everyone panic. everyone instantly held their breaths. however, bai zun didn¡¯t change his expression much. bai zun raised his hand again. the sky soaring domain. unleash! the sky soaring sword technique. release! ¡°boom!¡± tens of thousands of sky soaring sword intents collided with the three thousand bloody figures! the three thousand bloody figures immediately collapsed as if a stone hitting an egg! the sky soaring sword intents, which had been strengthened by the sky soaring domain, also pierced through li banxian with ten thousand swords like rain! chest, neck, forehead¡­ thousands of swords pierced through li banxian, and he felt great pain. his eyes instantly glazed over and a trace of regret welled up in his heart when he was dying. however, it was too late. he¡­ he couldn¡¯t do anything! ¡°you¡­ you don¡¯t have the chance to show your third attack.¡± bai zun raised his head slightly. with a wave of his hand, the sky soaring domain and the sky soaring sword technique dissipated, and he watched li banxian¡¯s severely injured corpse fall to the ground. other than bai zun, almost everyone present was watching li banxian¡¯s corpse fall. li banxian¡­ li banxian was dead! the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and it gradually erupted a huge wave of cheers for bai zun! ¡°lord of the sword is invincible!¡± ¡°didn¡¯t i tell you that the alliance leader is a fool? he couldn¡¯t even take two moves from the lord of the sword!¡± ¡°fuck the alliance leader! how dare a mere alliance leader fight against the lord of the sword? the lord of the sword respects you to let you attack him three times!¡± ¡°i must join the nightmare guild!¡± ¡°although li banxian is a sixth transition player, the lord of the sword can easily kill him. doesn¡¯t that mean¡­¡± ¡°the lord of the sword¡¯s strength is above that of the sixth transition!¡± ¡°it¡¯s so terrifying!¡± the louder the cheers were, the paler the faces of the higher-ups of the player¡¯s alliance who came with li banxian. they looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. on the other hand, wang yi looked at li banxian¡¯s corpse not far away and sighed. afterward, he called a few people to help pick up the corpse. wang yi had long expected such an outcome. wang yi initially wanted to remind li banxian, but he was too brutal. he refused to listen to anyone. he thought that he was invincible and could do whatever he wanted. at this point, wang yi could only shake his head. wang yi was cleaning up li banxian¡¯s corpse. more than a dozen people in nearby storm city had expressions that were not only negative but also fearful. ¡°oh my goodness! luckily, we didn¡¯t go up at that time. otherwise, we would be the ones dead on the ground now.¡± the strongest player from the east sea, mr. kim, looked at li banxian¡¯s broken corpse, and his heart raced with fear. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect the lord of the sword to be so terrifying. he killed li banxian, who is also a sixth transition player, with two attacks.¡± the strongest player from lighthouse country, robert, was beside mr. kim. he said solemnly, ¡°no, the lord of the sword should be able to kill li banxian with one attack if he is willing!¡± ¡°the lord of the sword should be at least a seventh transition player!¡± mr. kim raised his head slightly and looked at bai zun, who was still hovering in the air and swallowed his saliva. ¡°let¡¯s go first. we can¡¯t let him notice us.¡± robert turned around and left with his men. mr. kim nodded and quickly fled. they had originally planned to hide in the dark and wait for li banxian and the lord of the sword to fight until both of them were severely injured. afterward, they would join forces and kill the two experts of the dragon country in one fell swoop. at that time, the dragon country would become a low-ranking country and would no longer be able to fight with lighthouse country and the east sea. however¡­ they had never imagined that bai zun would be so powerful. bai zun was so strong that he killed li banxian, who was at the same level as them, with two attacks! mr. kim and robert were terrified. they hurriedly fled. at the same time, the president of dragon country also received the live video. in the official office of the dragon country. long zhan, the president of the dragon country, watched the video. he immediately stood up from his seat after he saw li banxian being pierced by ten thousand swords. ¡°the lord of the sword is at least a seventh transition player!¡± long zhan¡¯s eyes widened, and he immediately turned his head and said something to his subordinate. ¡°hurry up! hurry up and send resources to the nightmare guild! send as much as we can!¡± ¡°yes..¡± ¡°we must be on good terms with the lord of the sword!¡± the subordinate responded and left immediately. other than the dragon country, the presidents of lighthouse country and the east sea also saw the live video. they were shocked by how bai zun killed a sixth transition player with two attacks. ¡°ask robert to come back!¡± dent, the president of lighthouse country, immediately said. the subordinate quickly replied, ¡°robert is on his way back. he should be here soon.¡± ¡°seventh transition! seventh transition!¡± dent was still in shock. he couldn¡¯t come back to his senses for a long time. ¡°dragon country¡­¡± ¡°it turns out that dragon country has a seventh transition expert!¡± at the same time, the president of the east sea was also shocked. other than the lighthouse country and the east sea, the other countries also received the live video and felt fear and respect for the lord of the sword¡¯s strength.

lord of the sword!] [¡­] the dragon country netizens and foreign netizens started scolding each other. it had been dozens of minutes since li banxian died. bai zun also returned to the city. however¡­ the surrounding area of storm city was still bustling. in the city, the members of the nightmare realm were also cheering for bai zun¡¯s tyrannical posture. ¡°boss¡­ boss!¡± bai zun had just returned to the villa when he saw ye shuishui rushing over. ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± bai zun sat on the sofa. ye shuishui reported, ¡°the officials have sent someone over. it¡¯s wang yi. you¡¯ve met him before.¡± ¡°bring him to the living room.¡± bai zun wasn¡¯t going to get up from the couch. ¡°alright.¡± ye shuishui left. wang yi, who had just been appointed as the new leader of the player¡¯s alliance by the dragon country¡¯s president, stood nearby the villa¡¯s door nervously. as expected, wang yi became the alliance leader after li banxian died. the dragon kingdom¡¯s president had also given wang yi a large amount of resources and asked him to come to bai zun to apologize and eliminate the influence of li banxian. the current alliance leader was scheduled to meet with bai zun after the previous alliance leader had just been killed. wang yi felt somewhat helpless. however, the world of adults was full of helplessness. wang yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and find ye shuishui, expressing his desire to meet bai zun. fortunately, ye shuishui had returned with the good news that bai zun was willing to meet him. wang yi rushed to the living room. wang yi didn¡¯t dare sit on the sofa. he smiled apologetically and said while standing, ¡°mr. lord of the sword, we meet again.¡± ¡°get to the point.¡± bai zun sat on the sofa, his expression as calm as ever. wang yi knew bai zun didn¡¯t like to be ¡°overly polite.¡± therefore, he went straight to the point. ¡°mr. lord of the sword, it¡¯s like this. i¡¯m now the leader of the player¡¯s alliance. i¡¯m here to send a batch of resources to the nightmare guild. li banxian doesn¡¯t represent the player¡¯s alliance, so i hope you can be magnanimous and not blame the player¡¯s alliance.¡± wang yi was humble and smiled apologetically. he said, ¡°mr. lord of the sword if you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me. as long as it¡¯s within my ability, i¡¯ll do it!¡± wang yi spoke with a solemn expression. moreover, as wang yi spoke, he constantly observed bai zun¡¯s expression. although bai zun didn¡¯t show much expression, he was satisfied with wang yi¡¯s attitude. bai zun wanted wang yi¡¯s promise. when the nightmare guild recruited 10,000 new members, the resources required would increase exponentially. at that time, bai zun would inevitably need wang yi¡¯s help. ¡°alright, then i¡¯ll have to trouble you with the resources.¡± bai zun smiled and continued, ¡°in the future, the vice president will contact you directly if the nightmare guild needs any resources.¡± ¡°i understood.¡± seeing the smile on bai zun¡¯s face, wang yi could finally relax a little after being nervous from the beginning. wang yi was now the leader of the player¡¯s alliance. if bai zun bore a grudge against the player¡¯s alliance because of li banxian¡¯s ignorance and fearlessness, he had no power to resist as an ordinary person. fortunately, bai zun didn¡¯t intend to stoop to his level. wang yi could finally heave a sigh of relief. after chatting for a while more, wang yi took his leave. he went to deliver the resources that the president of the dragon country had sent to storm city. bai zun didn¡¯t rest on the sofa for long. after wang yi left, he left for the new legendary-grade secret realm a few minutes later. bai zun didn¡¯t have to worry about recruiting 10,000 new members of the nightmare guild. he had established his reputation through the battle with li banxian. he wondered how many experts from different places would gather in the nightmare guild. after that, ye shuishui only needed to choose the best among the countless players and select 10,000 new members. a week later, the nightmare guild welcomed 10,000 new members. bai zun, who had been conquering the secret realms outside, also came back and listened to ye shuishui¡¯s report on the 10,000 new members. bai zun leaned against the sofa in the villa¡¯s living room and asked ye shuishui, ¡°did the original 50 members achieve the fifth transition?¡± ¡°all of them achieved the fifth transition.¡± ye shuishui nodded. ¡°great.¡± bai zun nodded and instructed, ¡°assign 200 new members to each old member that achieved the fifth transition. they will be the leaders of each group.¡± ¡°as for the 200 new members, divide them into small teams and send them to different places to attack the secret realms.¡± ye shuishui nodded as she recorded bai zun¡¯s instructions in her notebook. ye shuishui couldn¡¯t manage a guild with tens of thousands of players alone. only by dividing the authority into different levels could it be more convenient and easier for her to manage the nightmare guild. ¡°you¡¯ve worked hard these few days. you¡¯ll be much more relaxed after that.¡± since ye shuishui had been busy for the past few days, bai zun comforted her. ¡°alright! thank you, boss!¡± ye shuishui was touched. they didn¡¯t continue their conversation. bai zun left with his sword and continued to conquer secret realms after he learned of the guild¡¯s latest developments. the sea clan was about to appear, and there was still a long way to go before the third feedback. bai zun felt that he had to increase his strength as soon as possible. the sword rose and fell, and bai zun killed another legendary-grade secret realm¡¯s level 210 mutated beast ¡°boss.¡± bai zun glanced at the attribute panel. after killing the legendary-grade secret realm¡¯s level 210 mutated beast ¡°boss,¡± his experience points increased again, breaking through the upper limit and reaching level 231. bai zun was still nine levels away from the level 240 threshold for the eighth transition. the higher the level, the harder it was to level up. ¡°i¡¯ll go to the mythical-grade secret realm to take a look.¡± bai zun looked into the distance at the blue sky. last time, bai zun had barely managed to conquer the mythical-grade secret realm, the sirius wolf secret realm, when he was in the seventh transition and level 213. bai zun had improved from level 213 to level 231, and his strength had also greatly increased. bai zun had never been hesitant. after making up his mind, bai zun rode his sword and soared into the sky, heading towards the mythical-grade secret realm. Chapter 37 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation in the satellite base of lighthouse country. the department responsible for monitoring the ten mythical-grade secret realms on the blue planet was in chaos. it was because they discovered that someone had barged into another mythical-grade secret realm after more than ten days! ¡°warning! warning! someone broke into the mythical-grade secret realm!¡± the person in charge of the satellite monitoring office panicked and quickly reported it to dent, the president of lighthouse country. before dent heard the news, he was still enjoying his afternoon tea. the soft and tempting cake was almost close to his mouth. however¡­ when the news came, dent was so shocked that his entire body trembled. he spilled the latte, and some splashed on his clothes, let alone the cupcake. however, dent wasn¡¯t in the mood to care about it. dent immediately glared and ordered his subordinates to arrange a car. he wanted to go to the satellite base personally! shortly after, they arrived at the satellite base. dent got what he wanted and saw a video of a human figure entering a mythical-grade secret realm. they slowed the video down and made it even slower. it was the same as the figure who had entered and conquered the sirius wolf secret realm. no matter how slowly dent adjusted the video, he could only see a blurry figure. ¡°who is this guy?!¡± dent was confused. dent thought, ¡°who can conquer a mythical-grade secret realm with mutated beasts between level 210 and level 240?¡± one had to know that each mutated beast of the mythical-grade secret realm was equivalent to a seventh transition player. ¡°wait a moment.¡± dent was startled. seventh transition? not long ago, the lord of the sword, who killed the dragon country official player¡¯s alliance¡¯s leader, seemed to have the strength of a seventh transition player. ¡°could it be¡­¡± dent showed a solemn expression. dent immediately ordered, ¡°hurry up and call the dragon country¡¯s president!¡± his subordinates all started to work on it. dent wanted to prove it! dent wanted to verify if the person who had barged into the mythical-grade secret realm was the lord of the sword! among the ten mythical-grade secret realms on the blue planet, not only were the satellites of the lighthouse country monitoring them, but the satellites of the dragon country were also monitoring them. therefore, when bai zun entered the secret realm, the dragon country¡¯s officials were the first to receive the news. when the dragon country¡¯s president, long zhan, heard that someone had barged into the mythical-grade secret realm, he was very calm. he was different from the lighthouse country¡¯s president, dent, who was panicking. long zhan didn¡¯t even take the matter seriously. after all, the lord of the sword had promised wang yi that he wouldn¡¯t stand by and watch the dragon country get into trouble. the stronger the lord of the sword was, the safer the dragon country would be. soon, long zhan¡¯s subordinate reported that the lighthouse country¡¯s president had requested to call him. long zhan answered the phone. dent went straight to the point and asked, ¡°is the person who broke into the mythical-grade secret realm lord of the sword?¡± since the other party could directly ask the question, it meant that he had already guessed it. moreover, bai zun had also displayed his strength before, so long zhan didn¡¯t need to hide it from him. long zhan replied indifferently, ¡°yes.¡± long zhan could hear the sound of someone inhaling cold air from the other end of the phone. dent hung up the phone after a few more casual chats. dent sat on the sofa in the satellite base. meanwhile, he constantly changed his expression. the dragon country¡¯s lord of the sword was a seventh transition expert. however, the strongest player in lighthouse country, robert, was only a sixth transition player. he was far inferior to the lord of the sword. ¡°we can¡¯t keep this guy alive!¡± dent muttered as his eyes filled with ruthlessness. ¡°if he reaches the eighth or ninth transition, our lighthouse country will no longer have the chance to dominate the blue planet!¡± ¡°no! even if we have to mobilize the entire country, we must make robert and mr. kim break through to their seventh transition as soon as possible before they join forces to kill bai zun!¡± ¡°we can¡¯t¡­ we can¡¯t delay this matter anymore!¡± dent¡¯s killing intent was intense. as long as the lord of the sword lived in this world, dent couldn¡¯t sleep well! ¡­ on the other side, in a mythical-grade secret realm. bai zun didn¡¯t know he had attracted attention from the lighthouse country¡¯s officials. at this moment, he focused on dealing with the final ¡°boss¡± of the mythical-grade secret realm, the level 240 king of the dark rats, with his immortal-slaying sword. bai zun could level up very quickly in the mythical-grade secret realms. after clearing all the monsters in the mythical-grade secret realm, he leveled up twice and reached level 233. bai zun estimated that he could probably level up again if he could kill the level 240 mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°boss,¡± the king of the dark rats. bai zun didn¡¯t think much about it, and his expression turned grave. in the next second, bai zun used the crimson level skill, the nine-layer hell! bai zun rose into the air, and the immortal-slaying sword flew forward. as the blood light gathered, a nine-layered hell descended on the world and attacked the king of the dark rats. however¡­ the king of the dark rats was very fast. it instantly disappeared, causing the nine-layered hell to lose its target. it collided with the already dilapidated palace and shattered it. ¡°it¡¯s too fast.¡± bai zun took a deep breath, and his sky soaring domain expanded once more. as he executed the sky soaring sword technique, he searched for the figure of the king of the dark rats with all his might. after a few seconds, the king of the dark rats suddenly appeared behind bai zun! it raised its sharp claws high as if it wanted to stab bai zun to death! however¡­ bai zun quickly reacted. bai zun smiled and suddenly turned around with the immortal-slaying sword in his hand. the sword of the immortal-slaying sword was covered in a layer of dazzling light as it collided with the king of the dark rats¡¯ sharp claws! ¡°boom!¡± a loud boom rang out, and the king of the dark rats and bai zun each retreated a hundred meters. ¡°as expected of a mythical-grade ¡®boss,¡¯ it¡¯s strong!¡± bai zun stared at the restless king of the dark rats not far away. the king of the dark rats was much more powerful than the mythical-grade mutated beast¡±boss,¡± the sirius wolf king, in the mythical-grade secret realm, the sirius wolf secret realm. the king of the dark rats had been fighting with bai zun for a few minutes now. however, it would appear in unexpected places at an insane speed every time, trying to give bai zun a fatal blow. fortunately, bai zun¡¯s reaction was also extraordinarily fast. ¡°it¡¯s time for the game to end.¡± bai zun stared at the king of the dark rats and muttered to himself. his eyes gradually turned cold. afterward, the king of the dark rats released his hand and let the immortal-slaying sword float in the air. the king of the dark rats looked at bai zun with a puzzled gaze. he leaped into the air and stretched out his hands, an extremely refined energy gathered in his embrace. bai zun was continuously gathering power. the king of the dark rats¡¯ expression turned pale. the king of the dark rats was aware that it couldn¡¯t let bai zun gather the refined power successfully! otherwise¡­ it had nowhere to run! ¡°squeak!¡± the king of the dark rats roared furiously, and its huge body, which was like a caravan, charged toward bai zun with all its might! however! the immortal-slaying sword that bai zun had tossed aside earlier came slashing over to stop the king of the dark rats! the king of the dark rats was stopped by the immortal-slaying sword despite the increasing strength that was gathering in bai zun¡¯s embrace. the king of the dark rats looked more and more panicked. in less than ten seconds. bai zun opened his cold eyes. bai zun opened his right hand, and the immortal-slaying sword returned with a whoosh. afterward, the enormous and terrifying power that bai zun had just condensed poured into the sword edge of the immortal-slaying sword! the king of the dark rats no longer had the will to fight. it only wanted to escape now! and it did. it turned around and ran. however¡­ it was too late. bai zun descended from the sky like a god. ¡°the heavenly¡ª¡± ¡°the heavenly united sword!¡± ¡°boom!¡± the sky seemed to split open as the golden sword phantom condensed with immense power and descended with a loud bang! the king of the dark rats squeaked. it knew that it had nowhere to escape, so it turned around and tried to block it. it had mobilized almost all of its power. however, it still couldn¡¯t avoid being covered by the golden light of the greatsword phantom. the king of the dark rats¡­ it was dead! bai zun hovered high in the air, looking down at the king of the dark rats. his level had also reached level 234. bai zun was still six levels away from achieving his eighth transition! after picking up the mythical-grade equipment, the ¡°claws of the king of the dark rats¡± that the king of the dark rats had dropped, as well as some other equipment, bai zun left the secret realm and headed to the next mythical-grade secret realm. bai zun had to break through the eighth transition before the sea clan appeared. he must achieve it as soon as possible! he had no time to wait! Chapter 38 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°my lord¡­ my lord!¡± in a mythical-grade secret realm, a dragon turtle with the head of a dragon and the body of a turtle the size of a suitcase rushed and arrived in front of a magnificent palace. ¡°what¡¯s with all the bustle?¡± in the palace, the dragon turtle king sat on the throne, looking at the dragon turtle lazily. ¡°last time, you asked me to investigate a human. i found his information!¡± the dragon turtle who came to report was excited. the dragon turtle¡¯s words piqued the dragon turtle king¡¯s interest. the dragon turtle king propped its huge body up from the throne and asked curiously, ¡°tell me in detail.¡± the dragon turtle secret realm was relatively close to the sirius wolf secret realm. the moment the sirius wolf secret realm was abruptly destroyed, the dragon turtle king became aware of it. it sent a dragon turtle out of the secret realm to investigate the outside world. it wanted to know the reason for the sirius wolf secret realm¡¯s destruction. under the curious gaze of the dragon turtle king, the subordinate said, ¡°it¡¯s a human called lord of the sword!¡± ¡°lord of the sword?¡± ¡°hmph!¡± the dragon turtle king snorted coldly and said, ¡°how dare a human call himself a ¡®lord¡¯ in front of mythical-grade mutated beasts like us?¡± ¡°continue!¡± the subordinate continued to say, ¡°people said that the lord of the sword has the strength of a seventh transition player, which is equivalent to our mythical grade. moreover¡­ moreover¡­¡± at this point, the dragon turtle¡¯s face changed slightly, and its voice became hesitant. the dragon turtle king asked indifferently, ¡°what?¡± ¡°moreover¡­ other than the sirius wolf secret realm, when i returned, i passed by the dark rat secret realm and saw that it had also been destroyed.¡± the subordinate frowned. ¡°what did you say?!¡± the dragon turtle king was shocked and slapped the armrest of its throne. the dragon turtle king wouldn¡¯t have been too surprised if the lord of the sword only destroyed the sirius wolf¡¯s secret realm. after all, the sirius wolf king was the weakest of the mythical-level mutated beast ¡°bosses.¡± however, the dark rat secret realm was different. the dragon turtle king had sparred with the king of the dark rats before, and it was still slightly weaker. however, the subordinate told the dragon turtle king that someone had destroyed the dark rat secret realm. the dragon turtle king immediately asked, ¡°who destroyed the secret realm? was it still the human called lord of the sword?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t know¡­¡± the subordinate shook its head. ¡°that¡¯s not right. how is that possible?¡± the dragon turtle king left the throne and paced back and forth in the palace. it furrowed its brows and looked puzzled. meanwhile, the dragon turtle king thought, ¡°logically speaking, humans can¡¯t be so powerful now.¡± ¡°how can there be an expert who destroyed two mythical-grade secret realms in a row?¡± ¡°it¡¯s unreasonable! it¡¯s impossible!¡± the dragon turtle king found it hard to accept. however, it was the truth. the dragon turtle king asked, ¡°do the blood spider king and the others know about it?¡± the subordinate said, ¡°they probably know about it. i also encountered the blood spider and the hellhound when i was investigating. their king also ordered them to investigate the situation in the sirius wolf secret realm.¡± the dragon turtle king ordered, ¡°go! go and contact the blood spider king and the hellhound king! tell them that before our masters arrive, they must get rid of this human!¡± ¡°yes!¡± the subordinate received the order and quickly left. at this point, the palace returned to silence. only the dragon turtle king was left standing in front of the throne, looking confused. ¡°why is there such a powerful human?¡± ¡°no matter how strong he is, we must eliminate him before our masters descend!¡± ¡°we can¡¯t let the humans hinder our masters¡¯ plan to descend!¡± the dragon turtle king¡¯s expression became even more determined. on the other side, in the mythical-grade secret realm, the cunning sheep secret realm. bai zun was hovering in the air, using the gilded level skill, the heavenly united sword. after the cunning sheep king sensed the terrifying might of the heavenly united sword, it immediately wanted to escape. however, its speed was slower than that of the king of the dark rats, so it naturally couldn¡¯t escape the heavenly united sword¡¯s attack. it was immediately cut in half and fell into a pool of blood. on the other hand, bai zun was expressionless. he picked up the mythical-grade weapon obtained from the death of the cunning sheep king and left the secret realm. after killing the cunning sheep king, bai zun successfully reached level 239. bai zun was still one level away from achieving his eighth transition. bai zun didn¡¯t rest and rushed to the next mythical-grade secret realm, the dragon turtle secret realm. ¡°this is the place.¡± bai zun arrived in front of a secret realm gate flowing with crimson-red and golden light and stepped through it. bai zun emerged from the secret realm to find himself on a remote island in the middle of an endless sea. bai zun¡¯s gaze scanned the surroundings. after a few seconds, a dragon turtle suddenly came ashore and pounced at him with a roar. ¡°you¡¯re courting death!¡± bai zun snorted coldly and unleashed his sky soaring domain. he waved his immortal-slaying sword, and a streak of sky-soaring sword energy instantly split the dragon turtle in half. bai zun¡¯s experience points slowly increased. there were many more similar dragon turtles, and after bai zun stepped onto the island, they came ashore from the surrounding sea. bai zun kept swinging his sword to deal with the monsters. at the same time, the dragon turtle king was flirting with a few female dragon turtles in the palace in the depths of the sea outside the island. suddenly, a subordinate reported. ¡°report!¡± just as the dragon turtle king was about to help the female dragon turtle remove its shell, it trembled when it heard its subordinate¡¯s call. it immediately lost all erotic thoughts. ¡°what¡¯s the matter?!¡± the dragon turtle king was furious because the subordinate had interrupted it. the subordinate said with a trembling voice, ¡°report! a human has barged in. our brothers are stopping him¡­¡± ¡°a human?!¡± the dragon turtle king slapped the armrest of its throne and stood up. it roared, ¡°where is he?!¡± the subordinate said, ¡°on the island above¡­¡± ¡°damn it! we are doomed¡­¡± the dragon turtle king felt as if it had been struck by lightning. it was extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the palace. who else could have broken into the secret realm? the dragon turtle king couldn¡¯t think of anyone else other than the human who had killed the sirius wolf king and king of the dark rats. moreover, the dragon turtle king was slightly weaker than the king of the dark rats¡­ if the human expert was allowed to charge in, it would most likely be unable to avoid death since its speed was slower than the king of the dark rats. ¡°we need reinforcements!¡± the dragon turtle king shouted in panic, ¡°go find the blood spider king and the hellhound king! the dragon turtle secret realm is going to be destroyed! we need reinforcements!¡± ¡°yes!¡± the dragon turtle king¡¯s subordinate received the order and quickly left. on the throne in the palace, the few female dragon turtles who were about to shed their shells were also panicking because of the dragon turtle king¡¯s panic. bai zun¡¯s appearance had made everyone, from the dragon turtle monsters to the dragon turtle king, panic. at this moment. on the isolated island. bai zun kept using the sky soaring sword technique, and his experience points soon reached their peak. when bai zun finished off another dragon turtle, he saw that the level on his attribute panel, which had been stagnant for a long time, began to change. level 240! bai zun had successfully reached the threshold of his eighth transition! bai zun immediately put away his sword and was about to leave the secret realm. after reaching the threshold of class transition, bai zun¡¯s experience points would no longer increase. he could only continue to gain experience points and level up after completing the eighth transition. there were only seven mythical-grade secret realms left. bai zun planned to attack the dragon turtle secret realm after he had completed his eighth transition. bai zun was unwilling to waste such a high-quality experience pool. bai zun wanted to leave the secret realm, and the group of dragon turtle monsters naturally couldn¡¯t stop him. after bai zun left, the dragon turtle king¡¯s subordinate hurriedly came to report. ¡°report!¡± the dragon turtle king, who was packing its luggage in the palace and preparing to escape, paused and quickly looked at its subordinate. ¡°are the blood spider king and the hellhound king here?¡± the dragon turtle kings¡¯s eyes were filled with joy and anticipation. ¡°no, your majesty.¡± the dragon turtle king¡¯s subordinate shook its head and said solemnly, ¡°the human has left!¡± ¡°he left?¡± the dragon turtle king was stunned for a moment before asking, ¡°why did he leave?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t know. he suddenly left.¡± the dragon turtle king¡¯s subordinate shook its head again. ¡°hmph! i thought it was someone else!¡± the dragon turtle king glanced at its luggage, which was almost packed, and was instantly enraged. ¡°if you don¡¯t have the strength, why are you pretending? if he dares to come again, i¡¯ll devour him alive!¡± the dragon turtle king exuded a domineering aura. the dragon turtle king¡¯s subordinate¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. ¡°report!¡± in the next second, another subordinate came over. ¡°speak.¡± the dragon turtle king, who had recovered its aura, looked over arrogantly. ¡°that¡­ that human¡­¡± the new subordinate who just arrived hurriedly said, ¡°he¡¯s back again!¡± the dragon turtle king lost its balance and almost fell. afterward, the dragon turtle king continued to pack its luggage. Chapter 39 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation after leaving the dragon turtle secret realm, bai zun remembered that he hadn¡¯t picked up a few pieces of equipment dropped by mythical-grade monsters. thus, he returned and put all the equipment into his spatial dragon ring before leaving again. bai zun stepped on his sword to leave. he soon returned to the villa in storm city. bai zun immediately called ye shuishui. ¡°boss, are you looking for me?¡± ye shuishui happened to be resting in the villa room. hearing bai zun¡¯s call, she took small steps to the living room. ¡°here, catch it.¡± bai zun casually tossed a pistol over. ye shuishui was confused. however, she steadily took the pistol from bai zun. however¡­ when ye shuishui saw the pistol¡¯s grade, her delicate body trembled, and her beautiful eyes widened. when she raised her head to look at bai zun, her eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°this¡­¡± ye shuishui¡¯s cherry lips parted slightly, and ¡°unbelievable¡± was almost written on her face. bai zun said as he leaned against the sofa, ¡°when the guild¡¯s operation stabilizes, you must follow the team into the secret realms and complete your seventh transition as soon as possible.¡± ye shuishui quickly nodded and continued to play with the mythical-grade weapon in her hand, the cunning sheep king¡¯s handgun. the cunning sheep king¡¯s handgun was a mythical-grade weapon dropped by the cunning sheep king, a mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°boss¡± in the mythical-grade secret realm. it was suitable for all long-range classes. it was shaped like a pistol, but the gun¡¯s body was slightly curved and twisted, similar to the horns on the head of the cunning sheep king. ye shuishui¡¯s class was the ¡°silver moon bizarre gunman.¡± therefore, the mythical-grade weapon was just right for her. for his trusted aides, bai zun would give them the best weapons he could. without waiting for ye shuishui to play with the ¡°cunning sheep king¡¯s handgun,¡± bai zun threw the mythical-grade weapon, the ¡°king of the dark rats¡¯ claw,¡± to ye shuishui. ¡°give this weapon to the members who can use it according to their strength.¡± bai zun instructed. ye shuishui hugged the king of the dark rats¡¯ claw and the cunning sheep king¡¯s handgun and nodded repeatedly. ¡°also, i will go into seclusion for a few days. don¡¯t let anyone disturb me!¡± bai zun said solemnly. ye shuishui nodded even harder. the eighth transition was different from the fourth transition. bai zun might fail in his eighth transition. if bai zun was interrupted during the transition process, not only would it be easy to fail the class transition, but there was also the risk of his level dropping. thus, bai zun couldn¡¯t be disturbed by anyone during his eighth transition! after giving ye shuishui a few more instructions, bai zun went to the secluded meditation room specially set up in the villa. bai zun sat cross-legged on the ground, retrieving the transition materials needed to break through to the eighth transition from his spatial dragon ring. coincidentally, the transition materials required to become an eighth transition player were all dropped from the legendary and mythical-grade secret realms bai zun had conquered. hence, he didn¡¯t have to spend any effort to find them. bai zun had all the transition materials! after counting the transition materials one last time, bai zun took a deep breath and closed his eyes to absorb them. bai zun¡¯s eighth transition¡­ it had officially begun! however¡­ at the same time. since bai zun left once more, the situation in the dragon turtle secret realm has stabilized. the dragon turtle king stopped packing its luggage and sat on its throne, quietly waiting for the hellhound king and the blood spider king to arrive. the dragon turtle king had once sent the dragon turtle to seek help, and the hellhound king and the blood spider king had responded. after a while. an extremely domineering three-headed hellhound stepped into the palace. there were eternal flames all around its three berserk dog heads. even in the depths of the sea, the boundless seawater could only choose to coexist with it. the dragon turtle king immediately went up to meet the hellhound king. immediately after, a huge blood-red spider with a strong aura arrived in the palace. it was as if it were a volcano that was about to erupt. among the mythical-grade mutated beasts that had descended so far, the dragon turtle king was slightly weaker than the hellhound king and the blood spider king. therefore, the dragon turtle king was very polite. ¡°brother, where is the powerful human who barged into your secret realm?¡± the hellhound king stared at the dragon turtle king and spoke in a deep voice. the dragon turtle king shook its head and sighed in pity, saying, ¡°brother, the human just left.¡± previously, when bai zun was still on the island, the dragon turtle king had hurriedly sent monsters to invite the hellhound king and the blood spider king over. however, bai zun had left. therefore, the hellhound king and the blood spider king, whom the dragon turtle king invited to come, met no one. ¡°however, you two didn¡¯t come for nothing. i have something important to discuss!¡± afterward, the dragon turtle king¡¯s expression became extremely solemn, causing the hellhound king and the blood spider king to frown. ¡°brothers, you might not know much about that human expert because you just awakened.¡± the dragon turtle king said solemnly, ¡°according to what i know, the human expert had killed the king of the dark rats and the sirius wolf king!¡± the blood spider king murmured, ¡°oh?¡± ¡°really?¡± the hellhound king was startled. ¡°although the king of the dark rats¡¯ strength is inferior to mine, it will take a few days and nights to determine the victor if we fight. are you sure it¡¯s dead?¡± unlike the sirius wolf king, the hellhound king recognized the king of the dark rats¡¯ strength. it was the reason the hellhound king was so shocked when it learned that bai zun had killed the king of the dark rats. the dragon turtle king said solemnly, ¡°the dark rat secret realm has completely collapsed.¡± ¡°if you¡¯re telling the truth, we can¡¯t let this human live.¡± the silent blood spider king spoke in a deep voice. its strength was on par with that of the king of the dark rats. it felt like it was in danger when someone could kill the king of the dark rats. the blood spider king felt it couldn¡¯t just stand by and watch. ¡°i think so too.¡± the dragon turtle king nodded. ¡°great! then i¡¯ll call a few more brothers and crusade against the human expert! we can¡¯t let his existence stop our masters from descending!¡± the hellhound king waved its hand, wanting to settle the matter. the hellhound king didn¡¯t believe that the human expert was strong enough to resist several mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°bosses¡± at the same time! ¡°it might just be the three of us.¡± the dragon turtle king shook its head and smiled bitterly. ¡°our other brothers haven¡¯t awakened.¡± ¡°alright! just the three of us!¡± the hellhound king was very confident in its strength. the blood spider king nodded in agreement. the dragon turtle king naturally wouldn¡¯t object. the three mutated beast kings immediately agreed to join forces to attack bai zun! when night fell, the peaceful satellite base of the lighthouse country became lively. the ten mythical-grade secret realms were being monitored in an office that was well-lit and humming with conversation. ¡°warning! warning! numerous dragon turtles of the dragon turtle secret realm had landed on the ground!¡± ¡°there are also many blood spiders of the mythical-grade blood spider secret realm intruding reality!¡± ¡°hellhounds¡­ there are so many mythical-grade hellhounds!¡± ¡°hurry up and report the matter!¡± dent had just returned to his residence and was preparing to sleep. however¡­ before dent could close his tired eyes, his phone suddenly rang. ¡°what is it?¡± dent suppressed his temper about being disturbed in his sleep, he asked in a deep voice. ¡°something bad¡­ something bad is happening!¡± ¡°all the mutated beasts had escaped the mythical-grade secret realm!¡± dent¡¯s eyes widened as he listened. his body tensed up as he roared at the other end of the phone, ¡°i¡¯ll be right there!¡± afterward, dent left his bed and quickly put on his clothes. the mythical-grade mutated beasts. dent never expected to hear these words before he went to sleep. moreover, these five words were accompanied by an even more terrifying word¡ªescape! dent soon arrived at the satellite base. when dent saw the mythical-grade mutated beasts¡ªthe dragon turtles, blood spiders, and hellhounds¡ªall gathered in one direction, his entire body trembled. dent shouted in a trembling voice. ¡°hold¡­ hold the world¡¯s supreme meeting!¡± Chapter 40 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the presidents from all over the world gathered in the supreme conference hall! ¡°everyone, this is the crucial time for the survival of humanity!¡± dent stood on the podium in the conference hall. his voice sounded solemn as if the end of the world was coming. the escape of the mutated beasts from the three mythical-grade secret realms was no different from the arrival of the apocalypse for humans. every mythical-grade mutated beast was equivalent to a seventh transition expert among humans. at least hundreds of thousands of mythical-grade mutated beasts were in the three mythical-grade secret realms. however, apart from bai zun, whose strength was unknown, the strongest player among humans was only at the early stage of his sixth transition. there was a huge gap between humans and mythical-grade mutated beasts! even though dent wanted to gather all the power of the human race to resist the mythical-grade mutated beasts¡­ only ten or fewer experts, including bai zun, were in their sixth transition or higher. one had to know that a player¡¯s strength would soar every time they transitioned. a sixth transition player might be able to defeat dozens of fifth transition players. therefore, it was obvious that the disparity in strength between humans and mythical-grade mutated beasts was to the point of despair. ¡°everything is over. we are doomed¡­¡± the kimchi nation¡¯s president held his head and had a mental breakdown. ¡°sigh, is our human race going to be destroyed?¡± the east sea¡¯s president no longer had his previous arrogance. some small countries¡¯ presidents cried in despair, ¡°it¡¯s hopeless. the human race is doomed¡­¡± there was no solution to the predicament! even if they all knew that bai zun had once conquered a mythical-grade secret realm, the combined number of mythical-grade mutated beasts in the three mythical-grade secret realms could reach a terrifying level of hundreds of thousands or even millions. no one dared say that bai zun could withstand them alone. for a moment, the supreme conference hall was filled with despair and fear. however¡­ the projection screen behind the conference table suddenly flashed. afterward, a video call interface appeared. ¡°ahem.¡± nearly everyone looked at the projection screen when a coughing sound suddenly appeared. ¡°i am the patriarch of the dragon turtle race, the dragon turtle king.¡± on the projection, the dragon turtle king¡¯s huge figure was staring at everyone in the conference hall. ¡°on behalf of the dragon turtle race, the hellhound race, and the blood spider race, i officially issue a punitive order against the human race¡¯s lord of the sword!¡± ¡°two days later, the three mythical-grade mutated beasts will attack the nightmare guild!¡± ¡°the human race¡¯s lord of the sword! prepare to die!¡± afterward, the video call was cut off. after a brief silence, the conference room erupted with voices. ¡°what?! how can this mythical-grade mutated beast speak?!¡± ¡°is this the main point? the main point is that the dragon turtle king just declared that it intends to attack the lord of the sword!¡± ¡°lord of the sword? is it the powerful lord of the sword of the dragon country? i heard that the lord of the sword had just broken through a mythical-grade secret realm.¡± ¡°it¡¯s scary! it¡¯s truly a terrifying thing! three ¡®bosses¡¯ wanted to attack the lord of the sword!¡± ¡°what should we do next? should we support the nightmare guild?¡± ¡°support for what? the mutated beasts won¡¯t attack our country. why should we care if the lord of the sword lives or dies?¡± ¡°stop bullshitting here. currently, the strongest among humans is the lord of the sword. if he dies, our human race will no longer have any combat strength in front of these top-notch mutated beasts!¡± ¡°our country is too weak. we can¡¯t help him¡­ sigh.¡± the small countries were in an uproar. the major nations¡ªprimarily the lighthouse country¡ªkept quiet. suddenly, dent asked the president of the romance country. ¡°it should be the case.¡± the president of the romance country nodded uncertainly. dent said, ¡°then¡­ are we safe?¡± meanwhile, he glanced at long zhan. the president of the romance country repeated, ¡°we are safe.¡± however, compared to dent, his tone was more relaxed. he seemed to be relieved. the presidents of the few big countries looked at long zhan, trying to find some hints in his face. however, long zhan was expressionless and didn¡¯t say a word. immediately after, long zhan stood up and left. the dragon turtle king had mentioned that it wanted to crusade against the dragon country¡¯s lord of the sword. long zhan¡¯s every move was also particularly eye-catching. long zhan¡¯s back attracted the attention of everyone in the conference hall. until long zhan disappeared. ¡°fortunately, the dragon turtle king would only attack the lord of the sword.¡± after long zhan left, the president of the romance country showed a glad and gloating expression. ¡°hahaha! let¡¯s wait for the show!¡± the president of the east sea laughed. dent thought, ¡°it doesn¡¯t seem bad if the lord of the sword dies.¡± dent had long wanted to kill bai zun. dent could use the dragon turtle king to eliminate bai zun this time. dent wasn¡¯t too worried about how to deal with the mythical-grade mutated beasts after bai zun¡¯s death. it was because¡­ the mysterious sea clan was reviving in the great south sea. the satellites of the lighthouse country detected that it seemed to be a long-dormant marine civilization inhabited by the powerful sea clan. at that time, as long as the lighthouse country signed an alliance with the sea clan with generous conditions, the mythical-grade mutated beasts shouldn¡¯t be able to cause any disaster to the lighthouse country. as for the other countries¡­ dent thought, ¡°if they are destroyed, so be it. what does it have to do with me?¡± the more dent thought about it, the more the smile on his face grew. ¡­ in just a few hours, the matter of the dragon turtle king and the other three great mutated beast ¡°bosses¡± mentioned that they wanted to fight against the lord of the sword had caused the internet to be in an uproar. almost every netizen was discussing the matter. [the hot-kid milk is good to drink: the lord of the sword¡­ was he the one who killed the leader of the dragon country¡¯s player¡¯s alliance with two attacks?] [oh! my baby: that¡¯s him. however, how did the lord of the sword provoke the mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°boss?¡± moreover, he provoked three of them at once. i feel that they are powerful just by hearing their names. could the lord of the sword defeat them?] [music brings me flying: it¡¯s a mystery. think about it. the mythical-grade mutated beasts are usually between level 210 and level 240. they are equivalent to human¡¯s seventh transition players. it¡¯s the seventh transition! does our human race have seventh transition players? there might not be a sixth transition player!] [lime-flavored: the previous commenter must be ignorant. the lighthouse country¡¯s superpower alliance¡¯s leader is a sixth transition player, and the east sea¡¯s special operation team¡¯s leader is also a sixth transition player. as for bai zun, people said that he is also a sixth transition player? he is probably a seventh transition player!] [happy everyday: oh my goodness! the nightmare guild is doomed this time! even if bai zun is a seventh transition player, he is the only seventh transition player! there were so many mythical-grade mutated beasts, and the weakest is equivalent to our seventh transition player! not to mention the mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°boss¡±!] [flechazo: with the death of the lord of the sword, the dragon country will also be doomed. at that time, our lighthouse country will be invincible!] [ustinian: oh my goodness! the lord of the sword is targeted by three mythical-grade mutated beast ¡°bosses!¡± the lord of the sword will be dead meat!] [windy: great! in two days, the lord of the sword will die. our east sea empire is willing to accept beautiful young women from the dragon country!] [the corner flower: haha! everyone, don¡¯t fight! everyone can get a share!] [¡­] other than the netizens in dragon country discussing the matter, netizens from other countries discussed it on the internet. however, many people were smug and unconcerned about the situation. some were gloating over bai zun¡¯s misfortune. the matter of the mutated beast ¡°boss,¡± dragon turtle king, wanting to attack bai zun was still spreading, and its influence was growing.
