from Xingyuan

Chapter 1063 278. Void Line: Leading to the Ending of [White Wolf] (3)

A butterfly with three pairs of wings fluttered above the bonfire. As it fluttered, its scales fluttered slightly, causing the flames to roll upwards, like a playful dancer swinging her skirt.

Xu Kefu sat by the campfire, quietly watching the flying Flame Demon Butterflies while wiping his sword.

This weapon named 'Prince of Raven' was not dropped by any BOSS, but was distributed by Qiqiao Network Studio to outstanding players. It has the quality of a masterpiece and the panel attributes of an artifact. It has no special skills of its own, but has the characteristic of 'rigid metal'.

Basically, this weapon can be regarded as a strong interaction material, which is enough to withstand the power of the Adventer with the plug-in performance fully activated.

Xu Kefu thought to himself that it was no wonder that Lai Anding could be used as a logistics person. This was almost a case of spending all the money wisely, with an extremely high cost-effectiveness.

"Isn't this abyss a little too big? We have been running for seven hours. When will we reach the next teleportation point?"

As Arogan complained, he raised the tonic and poured it into his mouth.

"If you flatten a planet into a continent, walking on it will feel endless, let alone the entire universe."

Ru Xi Nian, who was checking the game records beside the campfire, frowned:
"Have you felt any server lag recently?"

"You also feel that it's a bit laggy, right? The delay is particularly noticeable after leaving the nearby main city." Alogen nodded immediately.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

“It doesn’t count.”

Xu Kefu said casually:

"Qiqiao Network has not yet fully grasped the situation here, so naturally it will not set up too many server nodes. It will take a large influx of players to establish a point-to-point link for the conscripted bodies... This process will take at least a version later."

"Version 9.0... by then we will have already fully downloaded the Void." Ru Xi Nian sighed: "It seems that the official production capacity is still not good enough."

"I'm afraid it's even earlier than that. The version of Xingyuan always follows the progress of the players, just like when Li Aoz was still alive, the official update speed could not catch up with Li Aoz at all."

Arogon's speech brought back memories of the past:
"Oh, Li Oz... is he the legendary NPC of the [Domination] system? As a native, he can actually force the masters of Yuanyuan to follow his pace in writing the plot. It's really amazing."

Aroghan threw a bean into his mouth, chewed it and said:

"That's right. I'm afraid even players can't compare to Li Oz's achievements. He is the first person in the true sense of the word "Dominate"——"

Click!

Prince Raven's eyes flashed coldly, and he bit back the half sentence that Aroghen had not yet finished. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he glanced to the side cautiously: he saw Xu Kefu holding the sword, looking at the two of them with a smile.

"Really? The number one [Master]? I don't think so."

"Uh, so that's the former number one?" Aroggen grinned.

"No matter what, Li Oz was once the most popular character in Star Abyss, so it's normal that he left a deep impression on me." Ru Xi Nian said, "Zhukov, you don't have to compete for fame with a virtual person, right?"

"Li Aozi, an NPC who was promoted by the official fan circle and his appearance, how could he possibly be better than the number one player who was made by hard work and talent?"

Xu Kefu said slowly:
"The existence of Li Aoz is a stain on the Domination system. I am the only one who truly loves the Domination system. I have devoted myself to studying the technology and built my own arcane system with great difficulty. I have abandoned everything, whether it is wealth or women, so that they cannot interfere with my pure love for the Domination system."

"Think about it with your brains. The popularity of the Domination system in the past should not have been that high. People like Li Aoz who relied on the dividends of the times to rush to the top will fall into the abyss when the tide recedes, and the Domination system will also expose the fact that it lacks a foundation and is difficult to cultivate in the early stage. Therefore, now that the Domination system has suffered the backlash of the initial popularity, it has become short of talent."

"The Domination system has fallen from grace, and the culprit is Li Aoz. Only I can lead the Domination system to revive."

Xu Kefu's words became increasingly extreme. The two people next to him looked at each other and had no choice but to speak.

"Well, even if you are right and Lioz is wrong, that's it."

"Although I don't know what you are fighting for... It's just a path. There are different strong professions in different periods. This is normal."

Xu Kefu put away the sharp blade and shook his head:
"No, you don't understand. My love for the Domination system goes far beyond the game itself."

"Xingyuan" is not just a simple game. Xu Kefu has been informed of this since he visited the headquarters of Qiqiao Network.

In fact, he later learned about the ins and outs of the entire "From the Star Abyss" plan through official personnel - from the redeemed gods who were the followers of Leanding.

At the same time, there is also a shocking secret:
Although players use summoned bodies in the Star Abyss, as the gods of the Origin Abyss, they can receive the divinity, skills, and knowledge they have seized from the Star Abyss without reservation in the Origin Abyss as long as they remove the recognition filter.

It may sound a bit abstract, but there is actually only one core meaning.

To put it simply, if the player can become the main god of the Tao in Xingyuan, then in Yuanyuan, as long as he removes the filter of recognition, he can restore his status as a god.

Lai Anding intends to accumulate his own main gods for Yuanyuan in this way, so as to balance Xingyuan while retaining the power to fight against the [Secret Society].

It was not by chance or luck that Xu Kefu knew this secret.

The Redeemer who told him this also told him his true identity:
"Lord Xu Kefu, you are a fourth-generation god created from the remains of the [God of Destruction] Dumfis. Like Sides, you are favored by the will of the source and have the qualifications to become the main god. Moreover, you are at the level of the main god of the way."

"Due to the tragic death of Mephidria, the position of the Lord of the Way in Xingyuan is completely vacant. So Sides was sent to Xingyuan to try to take back the seat of the Lord of the Will of the Lord. If Sides succeeds, then Yuanyuan will have two Lords of the Way, which will especially make up for His Majesty Leanding's lack of killing skills."

"Now that Sidse is missing, you will have to take over and implement the Star Abyss Seeds plan."

The two players who teamed up with him were not members of the same guild as him, but were players hired by the official studio to assist in the battle.

Nominally, they assist the official in collecting game data and testing feedback mechanisms, but in fact, both of them are also fourth-generation divine warriors.

Lai Anding planned, or rather, the people His Majesty chose to distribute the plug-ins were mainly these four generations of divine warriors, and only a few of them were third generation divine warriors whom He fully trusted.

The more he came into contact with Qiqiao Network, the more Xu Kefu admired Lai Anding's methods. As a mother goddess who was powerless and in charge of healing and reproduction, Lai Anding was able to reasonably plan and allocate all the resources at hand to gain enough benefits for Yuanyuan.

As for the price... the price is the people from other Xingyuan, what does it have to do with their Yuanyuan gods?
Since time immemorial, the Yuanyuan God Clan has been guarding the Endless Star Abyss. They have contributed manpower, resources, and even allowed mortals to join the same ranks and ascend to become gods.

The Yuanyuan clan of gods had already lost three generations of gods for Xingyuan. What's wrong with those low-level and short-lived mortals suffering for thousands of years for the benefit of their clan of gods?
Xu Kefu was not unaware of what the defeated Protoss soldiers did to the local civilization after they retreated to Xingyuan. Today, Qunyuan has become a chicken-eating competition in the exciting battlefield, entirely because of the defeated Protoss soldiers and the evil god traitors, the Source Abyss Protoss.

——Can it be the same?

We, the noble Yuanyuan gods, could have stayed peacefully in Yuanyuan and done nothing, but in order to protect Xingyuan and all things from being destroyed by the Destroyers and [society], three generations have died, and even the main gods of the Tao are almost wiped out.

To put it bluntly, the Protoss who are still able to participate in the "From the Star Abyss" plan have all won the resurrection match.

Many gods didn't even have a chance to fight in the resurrection match. They were swallowed by the Dragon King on the battlefield outside the abyss, crushed by the Titans, dismembered by the evil eye, and corroded and destroyed by the poisonous blood of the earthlings.

You mortals not only do not sympathize with the pain of the Yuanyuan gods, and do not care about our suffering, but you also come up with some stupid "narrative" and want to break away from Yuanyuan's control.

Why?
Why did you still want to betray us even after three generations of our God Clan died and were even rescued and allowed to continue fighting in the upper Star Abyss?
Why won't you allow us to enjoy the peace and comfort?
Just because we are gods, we are immortal and our life span is as long as the sky, so we have to fight for Xingyuan until the last divine warrior?
Xu Kefu put away his sword and fell silent again, but his mind had become active again.

No matter what, Xingyuan is in this state now.

Sidse's disappearance is actually no different from his failure. He did not fulfill his mission as the 'seed' of leadership, so His Majesty Leanding can only start the follow-up plan himself.

Yes, once cheats appear in the game, the game will definitely lose players, but compared to obtaining the vacant [Dominant Will] position of Mephidria - this loss is nothing.

Xu Kefu knew that this might be his only chance to be remembered in Xingyuan history.

He wanted to defeat Li Oz and ruin his reputation in every sense. If there was a chance, it would be best to defeat him personally and destroy his myth and power.

Only in this way will he have the opportunity to become the main god of the path of [Starfall Master] - to become the new Mephidria!
When he thought of this, Xu Kefu couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster and his breathing became rapid.

Everyone knows how well Mephidria governed Haines in the past. Everyone also knows that before Leoz launched his usurpation of power, this main god had gathered almost 70% of the resources of Origin, which gave Leoz the capital to fight to the end.

If he could become the next Mephidria, even the powerful people on Earth would have to be polite to him.

"It would be great if we could defeat Leoze... and he'd better be alive."

He believed that he had already surpassed Li Oz. Even if that guy had faded out of the version when he first entered the Abyss, there might still be a chance that he was still alive.

Even without cheats, with his skills and account as a top player, it would not be difficult for him to defeat an eliminated NPC.

Alogen and Ruxi Nian could not understand Xu Kefu's thoughts. Although they had removed the filter of recognition, they still treated "Xingyuan" with the mentality of a player.

There is nothing wrong with this. Leanding has given them the power to play war and killing as games, so why not enjoy it?
"Let's take a break and then continue on our journey. If we delay too long, Lai Ande will definitely think we are procrastinating." Ru Xi Nian said.

Arogan curled his lips and said, "Just delay it a little bit. It's an exploration mission with no reward. What's the matter? You expect to work hard to shout for free."

"There are cheats out there, why do you still care about those little things?"

"Is that the reward I care about? What I want is the attitude."

"unclear meaning……"

Shake your head as in the past.

"When the server was first launched, people didn't care about rewards when playing games. They just enjoyed themselves. Why is it that playing games now is just like going to work? I have to figure out what my boss means and understand the difficulties of the company. If he doesn't give me any benefits, I'll make a fuss and people will tell me to just play if I don't want to. It's really funny."

Aroghan muttered:

"Do you think those planners and designers play games? If they do, wouldn't they know how bad the current environment is? But if they do, why do they just sit there and watch all this happen?"

"I don't know, but I think some designers and practitioners must have entered this industry with passion and ideals, hoping to create the greatest work, bring joy to everyone, and make a profit from it. However, as time goes by, the initial passion has long been worn out by interests and repetitive work."

As in the past, while brewing wine, he lazily said:

"Reality is like this, cold and cruel. No one can stay passionate and young forever in reality. Whether it's games or anything else. Those who want to escape reality through games don't realize that games themselves are also a product of reality. What happens in reality will definitely happen in games."

The wine was already warm, he took out a bottle and handed it to Arogon:
"Drink it, to this damn real world."

"If I could, I would also like to go back to the early days and play games without worries."

"When you go back, you're going to complain about how you can't beat anyone, how the reward for this quest is so meager, and how the stupid NPCs will be slaughtered by you when I switch to my main character."

"Whatever. Remembering the good things in the past and forgetting the traumas of the past is the privilege of the victors."

After saying this, the two smiled at each other and clinked their glasses.

"cheers!"

boom------!
At the moment the wine glasses collided, a violent explosion burst out from the top of the head, bringing brilliant light to the dark earth. The roar seemed to shatter the dimension. Time and space were distorted by powerful energy. Time was suddenly slowed down a million times. Even the swift mosquitoes and flies seemed to be condensed into amber at this moment, gradually entering eternity.

[Forbidden Spell: Amber Divine Realm]

On the distant hillside, Eleventh put down his staff, and a slight crack appeared on his porcelain-skinned face.

As a third-level Grand Mage, He did not dare to guarantee that this forbidden spell would be effective, so He consumed a lot of His divinity.

Even so, Elevente had no idea how effective this time-stop field, which was originally capable of lasting 150 seconds, could be with the blessing of divinity.

"It might work, but the other party has a cheat, so..."

He did not explain further, and the Zhenwu Party members beside him began to use their stealth skills.

"Let's fight."

Atreia Nightwind took the lead, drawing both swords, her strength rising, and she charged into the enemy camp in an instant. As she ran and moved, her posture had transformed into the true form of the God of Destruction. Her black armor blended into the night, her braids fluttered in the wind, and her green eyes were filled with divine flames.

From the very beginning, you can only give it your all.

He was very fast, whether as a God Clan warrior or as a professional player. He instantly stacked up dominance, damage reduction, damage increase, and acceleration for himself. With the protection of the strong energy, he was indeed fully prepared.

Atreia Night Breeze's goal was clear, that was to catch the weakest player on the field, Ru Xi Nian, who was controlled by the Amber Divine Realm's time stop. As the only one in the back row of the enemy trio who was of the [Weird] system, he was fragile. As long as he was not given the opportunity to step into the spirit world, his output would definitely be enough to kill him!

Snapped!
Atreia arrived in an instant, raising both swords, which instantly turned into thousands of swords. The blades were swung in an alternating manner, cutting, shaving, chopping, slashing, swiping, stabbing, prodding, picking and chopping, almost at the same frame rate, with thousands of strikes in an instant.

[Wolf School's Secret Skill: Group Dance Killing]

"My ultimate skill is that each hit inflicts 3% of the enemy's maximum health in damage, and each attack switches between real, magical, and physical damage. My attack speed limit is lifted, and I can deal a maximum of 2207 hits. Both the mixed damage and the basic value are sufficient!"

He did not take the enemy lightly, and used his ultimate skill right away, just to be able to eliminate one enemy soldier in the limited control time that Ilevant bought for them.

The Zhenwu Party members in the rear have also caught up, flashing or teleporting into the battlefield. As long as they can take down one of them, the remaining two will be easy to deal with.

Like in the past, his life value plummeted rapidly, his bones and flesh were cut and torn apart, and his blood and flesh separated.

——It’s done!
However, just as Atreya was wielding his two swords with great force and was about to chop Ruxi into meat paste, a strange sound suddenly popped out from the sounds of chopping and smashing.

Ding!
It's a very abrupt sound effect, just like the trigger sound of an outdated old-generation home game console.

But for some reason, when Atreya heard the voice, he subconsciously raised his head.

——Ru Xi Nian, who had just been chopped into minced meat by him, recovered without any warning. He chopped at the opponent's back with his knife, and the feeling of cutting the meat was so obvious.

Ru Xi Nian just shrugged, turned his head, and glanced at Atreia Night Breeze casually.

"Yo, Night Sword."

Ru Xi Nian laughed and saw through the divine warrior's posture. He took Atreia's attack as if nothing had happened and said leisurely:
"Why doesn't your IP address exist? Shouldn't it be Mr. Jiang Zhanguo, Room 102, Xingfuyuan Community, No. 202, Songjiang City, Yanxia Country? How come it is out of the service area now?"

Atreia Night Breeze had no time to respond. He simply increased his strength and continued to slash quickly.

"The great Ye Zhanjian, the No. 001 player in the Xingyuan professional league, is highly expected in every competition. Every year he is on the Galaxy team, and every year is the year with the best hope of winning the championship."

As he smiled as in the past, as a back-row profession, he faced the blade of destruction, letting the sword cut into his flesh and blood step by step, passing through the texture, and coming towards Atreia Nightwind.

[Wolf School·Lightning Blade]

Atreia swung his sword, which was wrapped in thunder and lightning, and slashed at Ru Xi Nian's face.

clang!
The long knife pierced into the bone, sparks flew, and his smile remained unchanged as he held down his head and hit Atreia head-on with a headbutt.

Boom!
The protective qi collapsed instantly, and Atreya's head was like being hit by a meteor. His porcelain skin cracked and shattered, and golden divine blood leaked out.

Dominant body penetrates!

Slowdown immunity penetration!
Damage reduction and protection throughout!

Armor equipment is removed on the spot!

He staggered back, and when Atreya steady himself, he suddenly discovered that he had turned into a blank slate. All the benefits on his body disappeared, and even his few equipment were forcibly removed.

bass!
A ghost dagger suddenly shot out and pierced into Atreia's left shoulder. It was obviously just an ordinary attack, but it was like a city defense cannon, knocking Atreia to the ground on the spot, and his shoulder was nailed into the ground like a pile driver by the dagger.

"——Are you proud of cheating?"

Atreya asked, holding the knife in his right hand.

"No."

As in the past, he was attracted by His words and shook his head.

In this brief moment, the firepower of countless Zhenwu Party members has poured down!

[Qilin's Secret Skills - Fragmentary Cloud Roar]

[Order: Soul Disintegration]

Genome Degeneration Ray

The dense firepower blocked his vision, and his body was blocked as before. He opened his arms and let the magical light and firepower hit his body.

He raised his hand lightly and snapped his fingers.

Ping——

Dozens of Zhenwu Party mages and mechanics were forced off the line in an instant, and the firepower density dropped sharply.

"Cheating is not fun, nor is it something to be proud of."

As in the past, he turned around and looked at the hundreds of warriors who were rushing towards him with god-like postures, without even looking at Atreia who fell to the ground, and said casually:
"But we are indeed invincible when we cheat."

Atreia still wanted to struggle, but in an instant, a huge pop-up message window filled his entire field of vision.

【Your friend '螇杷膏' has gone offline. 】

[Your friend 'Croissant' has been banned for 30 days for suspected violations. ]

[Your friend 'Cheese Double Burger' has been detected cheating and has been permanently banned]

Alogen had already stood in front of Ruxi Nian without him noticing.

He simply raised his hand and called out names, facing the warriors who were charging like in the past, and then disappeared one by one.

"——The four-horse hanging dog!"

Atreia Nightwind gritted his teeth, but was unable to free himself from the shackles on his left shoulder, so he had no choice but to throw the blade in his hand at Aroghen.

Ping!
Aroghan flicked his finger lightly, knocking the long sword away. Then he glanced at Atreia Nightwind and said:

"Hey, isn't this Ye Zhanjian? He has been in the industry for ten years but has no championship. He always gets the best results in the civil war every year, but he is eliminated before the finals. This old loser."

"It's not your turn as a lightweight account with a weak will to teach me a lesson."

Atreya sat on the ground, legs apart, and spat:

"You are cheating so blatantly. The system has no punishment for players like you who cheat and destroy the balance. It seems that Qiqiao Network is doomed."

"Don't be ridiculous. Do you think that competitive games and sports are noble things? Every year, gambling crimes surrounding competitive sports make more money than professional games themselves."

Arogane looked at Atreia with pity:

"Fair play and sportsmanship are a joke."

"You guys who cheat and destroy the balance of the game, you still have the nerve to say that?"

"People are born unequal. It is a kindness for the strong to allow the weak to serve them instead of bullying them. Geniuses like you who are born good at fighting and have quick reactions are inherently unequal. What's wrong with us using cheats? There are so many poor and weak people, so many disabled people in reality. Don't you allow them to use technology to turn their lives around?"

Aroghan sneered:
"You are awesome, you are noble, you can reach the top of the professional arena in just one month and be invincible. I have been studying and practicing hard for ten years, but I am still fighting with amateurs who are worth real money."

"I want to ask you: what kind of balance is this? It's the injustice that God created when he created us. We just want to take it back. Are you, the minority with vested interests, so angry?"

"If cheating is damaging the environment, then it only shows that the distribution of resources in this shitty environment is highly unbalanced. Why can you, a few people with excellent talents, be superior to those with no talent at all? I cheat just to give you talented people a slap in the face!"

Atreya looked at him calmly and said:
"Do you hate talented people who are proud of their talents, or do you hate yourself for not having any talents?"

"…What the hell are you talking about?"

"Besides, do you hate this unbalanced environment and want to use your cheating skills to punish bad players who bully others and stand up for the common people, or do you want to be above the common people?"

Gaba --

Aroggen clenched his fist and suddenly laughed:
"Ye Zhangjian, you are very good at talking, but I wonder if your knees are strong when you kneel down?"

After saying that, without waiting for Atreya to react, he flashed like in the past, and Eleventh and a dozen other Zhenwu Party members were instantly detained on the ground.

"You don't know until you see it. Once you see it, you will be shocked."

As the old days said:
"You Yuanyuan traitors are developing offline quite quickly. All the players who are still in the city have been lured in... This is Mr. Zhou Zhichuan from No. 201 Rongshu Street, this is Ms. Chen Zixi from 611 Longxiang Apartment, and this one - wow, it's Lin Jiarong from the Mechanical Power Department of Yanxia University."

Aroghan squatted down, looked at Atreia, and smiled warmly:

"What do you think will happen if we tell Lai Anding the real information about these people?"

Atreia's eyes were glaring, and he growled through gnashing teeth:
"You beasts—"

"We are beasts, so who gave birth to you? Don't forget that without His Majesty Leanding, you wouldn't even have a chance to live."

Aroghan raised his hand innocently:

"You want to start a revolution, but you must be prepared to be beheaded. But I see that most of you are young people, so pitiful. You are fooled by others and become excited, and start to think of unrealistic things."

"... Really? You think this is a scam?"

"Is not it?"

Just like in the past, he kicked the bound Ilevent and said casually:

"Zhenwu Party - you are all too naive, which is why you have a wrong understanding of the real world. His Majesty Leanding knows much more than you do. Everything he does is for the benefit of Yuanyuan. But you are thinking of taking away his power. You are really bored."

"Don't you think about it? Without Leanding, how can you be resurrected? Who will fight against those earthlings? You don't really think that Gaia can be fought by the passion of a few little warriors like you?"

Aroghan pointed to the distant horizon:

"Look at the Oshulia Empire in the north. Even if the players were allowed to fight, they would need at least six million people who had reached the upper limit of the version level. It might take ten years to defeat them. But what about the Earthlings? They only used a few councilors and a group of Tatars and Slavs to destroy the entire empire in just one month!"

"His Majesty Leanding is going to fight against such a terrifying enemy. He has already put a lot of thought into it. As a player, you just need to follow the instructions and execute them."

"You think you can fight against the Earthlings, the secret councillors, and the [secret society] Gaia? Well, go ahead and try it. Can you still maintain the arrogance you have towards us, your compatriots, when facing Gaia?"

Atreia tilted his head and opened his mouth, with a lot of things in his heart that he had to say.

But in the end, He just uttered one sentence coldly:
"You are a fourth generation god, right?"

"so what?"

puff.

Atreya Nightwind shook his head, smiled, and said:

"What makes you think we haven't fought against Gaia?"

"Does killing a few [societies] count? Can it solve the problem of Earthling expansion? Can it solve the hidden danger of the division of the various layers of Xingyuan? So you reckless warriors are really boring. Apart from fighting, you can't understand anything. Fortunately, the fighting skills that you are proud of have become worthless in front of our plug-ins."

"We fought on the battlefield outside the abyss, and fought against the destroyers in the universes of the six main gods. We fought one after another at the call of the six main gods until we died of exhaustion. Even after death, we did not find peace, but were salvaged from the Styx and continued to fight for the Origin Abyss in the Star Abyss."

Atreia said calmly:
"It is true that you can rely on plug-ins to dominate us and continue to rule over all living beings. However, if one day, the gods in the Origin get tired of your domination, they would rather choose to welcome the Earthlings to enter the country than obey your rule."

"We, the Zhenwu Party, have never betrayed Xingyuan. On the contrary, we cannot sleep or eat without peace in our country and mountains and rivers."

"I'm not looking down on you cheaters. What I mean is: you are trash to begin with, and you're still trash even if you cheat. A regime of trash will never last long. Those who are truly recognized by the people and willing to fight and die for the future of Yuanyuan are us, the divine warriors, the millions of slave laborers and cannon fodder divine spirits, and the common people you oppress."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Xu Kefu, who had not made any move or comment, suddenly asked:

"If you want to delay time, then it's meaningless. There are cheats. The human wave tactics are purely to increase our KDA. If you want to prevent the information of these captives from being handed over to QiQiu Network, you should kneel down and apologize and surrender."

Xu Kefu stood up, and Alogen and Ruxi made way for him.

"Ye Zhangjian, you are just making meaningless speeches here, which is meaningless except wasting your breath. But you never speak when you are fighting, and every action of yours is very purposeful."

Atreya looked up at Xu Kefu who was walking in front of him. He knew the situation of this boy in front of him. He was not only the strongest among the three, but also one of the best masters in the current version of "Xingyuan".

Not to mention cheating, even if he didn't, the opponent's final equipment was so heavy that he might not be able to cut it even if he spent an entire afternoon hacking at it.

"I don't understand, what are you waiting for?"

Xu Kefu looked into Atreya's eyes:
"Do you still think you have a chance to turn the tables?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two people next to them laughed out loud.

"Pfft! Hahahaha – that's so funny."

"The three biggest illusions in life: she likes me, I can fight back, and there is still a chance."

Xu Kefu ignored the two of them. He lifted the other's neck as if he was holding a weak chicken and looked at Atreya. There was no wavering in the other's eyes.

"What are you waiting for?"

Xu Kefu couldn't understand.

No matter what, he could not imagine that this group of rebellious warriors, who could not even fight against the weakest like Xi Nian, had no qualifications to fight against him.

"Just watch: the one standing in front of you is the Pope, a third-class master of the Domination system, the second best player in the history of the Xingyuan PVP Arena, the 'Star Lord of Heaven' Xu Kefu who single-handedly killed the evil god Lieweisi, and is now on the official whitelist and tester of Qiqiao Network. The system has also installed more than 100 plug-ins with features such as automatic aiming, perspective, blood lock, automatic damage multiplier adjustment, no control, no physical consumption, no item reduction, and no skill cooldown. The black and white roads and the normal roads are all on my side. I don't understand, what else can you do to fight me? What are you still expecting?"

Atreia Nightwind lowered his eyelids, the wound on his shoulder continued to bleed, and his vital signs were getting weaker and weaker.

When Xu Kefu asked Him and expressed that he found it difficult to understand, Atreya did not even have the energy to raise his head and look at him.

He just lowered his eyes to look at the system panel on his retina, and saw a pop-up window suddenly light up.

['Lioz' invites you to join the private server - "Yuanyuan United Front"]

【Would you like to join? 】

"Tell me, traitor, what are you waiting for?"

"……Ah."

Atreya tilted his head, as if he had recovered his strength all of a sudden. He looked at Xu Kefu with relief, his eyes full of contempt:
"You lackeys of Leanding, no matter what language I use to explain, you will never understand why I have persisted until now."

"So - please bear witness!"

"Your Majesty is the only legitimate Supreme Holy One in the Endless Star Abyss, who truly deserves the loyalty of all the people!"

【Warning! You have been locked! 】

The system popped up a series of red warning symbols, but Xu Kefu was not in a hurry. Instead, he subconsciously drew the sword of Prince Raven at his waist and slashed at Atreya's head.

————clang!

The invincible and indestructible 'Prince of Raven' was intercepted in mid-air and let out a clear cry.

It is as melodious as the sound of an oriole singing in a valley, and as clear as the sound of spring water hitting pebbles.

But, that's not important.

Xu Kefu's knuckles felt the reaction force brought by the contact between metal and iron for the first time in a long time. The slight sour pain at this moment was like a shot of sedative, which quickly calmed his fevered head.

It’s no big deal that the attack that was so close was blocked. It was obvious that the opponent had support.

But it is not important.

Xu Kefu's gaze moved upwards and he quickly searched through the plug-in list.

The important thing is...

In the plugin list, the 'Ignore Block and Parry' function is clearly shown as being turned on.

The tip of Prince Raven's sword continued to press down, but it was like compressing water. The long sword placed horizontally in front of Ye Zhangjian did not move at all.

Xu Kefu suddenly raised his head.

The first thing he could see was a pair of deep blue eyes. These eyes were on a man's face that was so beautiful that it transcended the concept of race. And this face belonged to a person whom he had never met but whom he would never forget.

"Lee-o-z-!"

Xu Kefu gnashed his teeth:
"You're still alive! That's great!"

“I don’t have time to hold fan meet-and-greets.”

Li Aozi turned his wrist slightly, and the sword tip quickly circled and chopped on Xu Kefu's wrist. Thanks to the infinite life of the plug-in, this attack did not cut off Xu Kefu's right hand, but Xu Kefu felt like he was electrocuted. He quickly retreated and raised his hand to touch his wrist.

Arogon and Ruxi came up quickly to guard him. The former glanced at Xu Kefu and said:

"Did his sword hurt you?"

"I'm not hurt." Xu Kefu's face was gloomy.

"Then why are you withdrawing?" Ru Xi Nian frowned.

"…I used 100% evasion."

Xu Kefu gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"Leave this guy to me, don't move."

Stab it!

Atreia Nightwind pulled out the dagger from his shoulder. The wound stopped bleeding, healed, and the scar faded at a speed visible to the naked eye. He felt a little surprised. Atreia looked up at Lioz:
"Your Majesty, this is..."

"I set up a private server buff, which increased life recovery by 1000%."

Li Oz shook his sword and noticed that there was no blood on the blade:
"You guys are pretty cautious. You filled it up right away?"

"There's no point in using a full-parameter plug-in to deal with an outdated version of you."

Xu Kefu stared at Li Oz:
"For many years, I have been living under your shadow. How many people have hoped to surpass you? How many people have entered the Domination system because of the reason you created God, and have never been able to climb out. Now, I want you to give up the title of God."

"I don't understand. I don't know who you are."

Li Aoz looked at the captured Zhenwu Party members and suggested in a friendly manner:

"Release my people, and you can just kill yourself and return to the city. I won't make things difficult for you."

However, such a generous agreement was not understood by the other party.

“Ha ha ha, is this idiot NPC kidding? He wants us to release the people and even wants us to commit suicide?”

"No wonder Xu Kefu hates Li Oz. He is so arrogant and doesn't take us seriously at all."

Aroggen and Ru Xi Nian joked for a few words, then immediately changed their expressions.

"Pay the price for your arrogance."

They both raised their hands at the same time and pressed into the air.

[Eliminate designated NPC]

Xu Kefu was instantly furious:
"What are you doing? He's mine!"

Aroghan raised his hand:

"I'm sorry, I hate what this guy said."

As in the past, he said with a smile:

"We're all going to die anyway, as if no one can stop us cheating players."

Ding!
The plug-in makes an abrupt sound effect.

"asshole!"

Xu Kefu growled:
"You two are going to die offline! I'm going to kill you—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the expressions of the two people seemed to be frozen.

"Arogan, did you press it?"

"Immediately clear the nearby NPCs - I pressed this, it's correct, just like in the past."

This is……

Xu Kefu turned his head and looked forward.

Fu Shen, who arrived late, had already untied his own people on the ground one by one. The Zhenwu Party members were regrouping and lining up behind him like an army.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

"Eradicate! Eradicate! Eradicate—damn it!"

"I can't clear the NPCs anymore. There's no living creature within 10 kilometers. Why is he still alive?"

The two cheating players pressed the cheating button in despair, while Li Aozi was still standing opposite them.

"This is impossible!"

As in the past, I pinched my throat and shouted:

"This is a cheat developed by a [player]! Why doesn't it work? Not only that, I can't even see his information."

"That guy is not right. By the way, the cheat can't directly wipe out the [social] unit."

Aroghan suddenly realized, and when he looked at Lioz, his eyes were even more contemptuous:
"It turns out that the once famous mentor Li Aozi, who led the trend of Xingyuan, has been corrupted by society. Tsk tsk tsk - how sad."

After that, the two men drew their weapons and assumed fighting stances.

"It's just to avoid instant kills, is it useful? We have unlimited health and mana, so you can't beat us even if you let us hit you!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Ke, this is an enemy from the [Society] side, I can't give it to you, I still need to level up as a hunter!"

Xu Kefu did not say anything, but looked coldly at Li Aoz and his group opposite him:
"Long Yuqiong, Yu Tianxiao, Ye Zhangjian... they are all familiar faces, except for Caramel Snail. All the professional players from S1 are gathered here."

A Luogen circulated his energy throughout his body, and with his Qi protecting his body, he burst out with a [Destruction] aura that was completely out of this level:
"I don't care if he's a professional or just an ordinary person, anyone who dares to speak nonsense to us——"

After saying that, he raised his fist, and blue flames surrounded his body. He accumulated strength in an instant and rushed in front of Li Oz in a flash.

"I'll kill them all!"

[Phoenix School: Flame Prison Destruction Fist]

The Phoenix School's skills, which are superior to those of the Whale, Wolf, Tiger, and Kirin schools, are supposed to be learned in the ultimate profession of the fourth transfer. This is a privilege only enjoyed by officially recruited white-listed players.

Even without cheats, Alogen doesn't think that people like him are weak.

Being able to receive treatment beyond that of ordinary players is the official recognition of the strong!
Sure enough, when Li Oz saw this punch, he did show a surprised expression.

"Oh, the Phoenix Sect..."

The blinding flames almost burned him. Li Oz lowered his eyelids, and the sword in his hand was like a teaching stick, accurately striking the inconspicuous position below Aroggen's left rib.

"——The vital point is here."

Arogan's face froze, and the energy in his body suddenly became disordered. He punched into the air, covered his dantian, staggered back a few steps, and looked at Li Oz in disbelief:
"You! How did you do that? I clearly had the control immunity turned on!!!"

"Haven't you read the skill description of the Phoenix School? During the skill release, all effects on the body are temporarily removed. Besides, attacking the vital point will cause the energy to flow back and forth, which is not considered as exerting control. It is a unique mechanism to counter the Destruction School."

As Li Oz spoke, he raised two fingers and clamped the ghost dagger thrown by him in the past:

"The passive ability after the third transformation of [Weird] is to throw a ghost dagger instead of a normal attack. Compared to normal spiritual power attacks, the damage is not only higher but also has a penetrating effect - but the dagger also has a physical body."

He looked at the two cheating players strangely:
"You guys who cheat, do you really know how to play games?"

"Shut up! You're just an NPC, how can you understand our hard work and sweat!"

Aroggen shouted loudly, and his body instantly turned into a phoenix and charged directly towards Li Oz.

【Starfall·Meteor Impact】

Without thinking, Li Oz raised his hand and punched the ground in front of him. The exploding stardust light and gravel instantly blocked the charging phoenix.

Snapped!
Arogan's body swayed and he fell to the ground. Before he could react, Li Oz blinded him with a palm and pushed him backwards.

It's like this again. The auto-control function is clearly on. Why -

Aroghan suddenly realized:

——Blindfolding and feinting cause one's head to shake, which cannot be considered a control skill, and the invincibility cannot be avoided.

Before Arogan could react, Li Oz put his five fingers together and poked his exposed throat with his sword. The purpose was not to cause harm, but to bring pain. At the same time, he turned around and kicked the left side of Ruxi Nian's knee, who had crossed the spirit world. He took the opportunity to jump up and hold the sword in both hands.

[Starfall·Shining Sword]

【Object Resonance】——Start!
In an instant, a shining sharp blade that pierced through the sky and earth was formed. Li Aozi raised his sword and chopped it down, and it fell between the two of them with a bang.

Boom, boom, boom!
The brilliant blade destroyed and melted the earth, but at this moment, the two people who relied on the plug-in to maintain an immune state were still standing stiffly in mid-air.

The plug-in that originally helped them to be free from control has now become a constraint for them.

The clouds in the night sky quickly dispersed, revealing a bright, silvery crescent moon full of magical charm.

bass!
A shining sword popped out from each of Li Oz's hands, his silver robe fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were dark blue.

"--Hold!"

"It's the Bishop! He wants us to stack attack speed and charm!"

In an instant, Arogan and Ruxi Nian understood what Li Oz wanted to do. They cancelled the control immunity of the plug-in and reacted very quickly, ready to activate their displacement abilities.

【Dimension Anchor】

【Quantum Accelerator·Time Reversal】

【Order·Prohibition of movement】

However, the Zhenwu Party members were already prepared for all of this.

Ilevent wiped the blood from his mouth:

"All of you stay here and witness this!"

------------

[Racial Talent: Demonic Fanaticism]

——Whenever you damage the target, your attack speed cap will be removed.

The higher your [Charm], the higher the attack frequency. (No upper limit on conversion)
"Bishop's Enthusiasm": You firmly believe in your own worldview, you believe in the starry sky and science, and you firmly believe that human will can change objective existence - you succeeded.

When your worldview is related to materialism, gain the effect of idealism.

Idealism Bonus: After performing five consecutive normal attacks, attack speed increases by 15% and critical strike rate increases by 15%.

The excess critical hit rate is converted into [Charm]. For every 1% critical hit rate, it is converted into 1 point of [Charm].

"In the Name of the Spiritual Deer" - If there is love in your heart, it can trigger miracles. No matter how your ideology changes, you can gain the romantic characteristics.

Romantic Bonus: For every 1% critical hit rate, the critical hit damage is increased by 10%. When your attack is critical, the next attack and skill will definitely cause a critical hit. After a critical hit, increase your critical hit rate by 1%.

------------

Li Oz's eyes lit up with dark blue flames, and the shining swords in his hands swung at high speed.

The passive ability of [Bishop Crescent] perfectly matches "In the Name of the Deer".

The faster the attack speed, the higher the critical hit rate.

The higher the critical hit rate, the higher the critical hit damage.

The higher the critical damage, the higher the critical chance.

The higher the critical hit rate, the higher the [Charm] attribute.

The two people who were frozen in mid-air because of the control immunity of the plug-in now lifted the control immunity to avoid being hit, resulting in them being given dimensional anchors by the Zhenwu Party's spellcasters, prohibiting them from moving.

In this way, no one can stop Li Oz.

"Moonlight believers, come out!"

Moonlight followers, incarnations of arcane energy, jumped out in an instant. Li Oz kept slashing and moving. They followed Li Oz closely, repeating their attacks on Arogan and Ruxi.

Crit!Crit!Crit!

“Uh ...

Arogan activated the protective qi, held his breath and retreated, trying to use the shield to block Li Oz's attack.

It's a pity that his mana bar and health are very long, but the shield is a skill and has a cap.

He can open the shield countless times and can relay the skills without stopping, but the pre-release swing of the skills in the middle cannot be canceled even if it is a plug-in.

In "Star Abyss", there is only one talent that can completely cancel the casting time.

“I have already seen through this objective material world and resonated with it!”

Lioz took advantage of a gap in the broken shield and immediately launched thousands of attacks on Arogan.

"Hey, don't let him stack [Charm]! If the value is too high, it can force us to commit suicide!"

Aroggen shouted to Ruxi Nian.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We are players. We have three lives."

As he remained calm as before, he dragged himself and Arogan into the spirit realm and explained calmly:

"Before he can stack up to the level that causes both of us to commit suicide, his body will be destroyed by his excessively fast attack speed."

"Is this a fucking NPC? Why does he understand the game so well?"

Arogan took advantage of the fact that Lioz couldn't attack them in the spirit realm, and quickly gave himself a lot of buffs:

"It's useless to turn on automatic dodge. There are a bunch of Moonlight Followers behind him, which will limit our ability to counterattack. Damn, this is the first time I've discovered that a hacker can actually compete with us for control."

"…What's his name?"

Ru Xi Nian suddenly asked.

"Your name is Li Oz?"

Aroghan did not think twice:
"Any questions?"

Like twitching my eyes in the past:

"Open the task assigned by Lai Anding this time..."

Arogan was puzzled. He opened the task list, selected the task, and muttered:
"…arrive at the designated location to conduct the search mission, and pay special attention to finding information and items with the following keywords: Silverston, Leoz…"

"Leoze, Leoze."

As said in the past:

"——Don't you think these two names are a bit similar? Just like Oshan and Fu Shen, Jiao Zi Niu and Geo Zi Gull."

Aroghan's pupils shrank.
boom!
Li Oz took a step back, his body spotless and entangled with a demonic charm that distorted perception. Endless whispers and hymns came from the natural world and the dimensional space.

They love, they are obsessed, they worship themselves.

"The charm is almost stacked."

Li Oz put away the shining sword and looked forward:
"Hide in the spirit world and don't come out? Indeed, this can prevent me from continuing to stack the stats."

After that, a purple moon emblem appeared on his chest.

【「Social Institutions」·Purple Moon Anchor Point】

[This organization has been purified by Xingyuan. Some of its attributes and abilities are incompatible and it will be disbanded.]

[Effect: Allows your character to roll back to the previous career stage.]

He squeezed the Purple Moon emblem hard.

[Social Institutions: Purple Moon Anchor Point - Activation]

The silver-white demonic bishop disappeared in an instant, just like the head of a god wearing a tall crown that exploded in an instant.

------------

[Your profession has been rolled back to [Astral Echo]]

[Due to the job change, you can use all the arcane powers again]

[Due to the job change, the [Charm] value of [Bishop Lunar String] stacked up, 551, will dissipate within 892 seconds...]

------------

“【Sequence Seventy-Seven: Disaster】.”

The headless [Astral Echo] whispers to the world:

"I curse this spiritual realm."

There is no need for unnecessary guidance or entanglement of fate.

550,000 [Charm], such a huge value, has already surpassed the limit of Jingyuan. And under such a numerical increase, [Disaster] has almost never fought such a rich battle.

All the disasters were concentrated in the spiritual world itself. The two cheating players suddenly raised their heads, and the strange origin roared at them to expel them.

"Get out! You two evildoers! Get out!"

Before they could react, the spirit realm collapsed and disintegrated, and the two were vomited back into the material plane.

"What on earth is going on? Who is that voice—"

"That one just now, couldn't it be the fucking Spector? Wasn't he dead?"

Arogan and Ruxi had just recovered from their shock and looked at the headless Lioz, and they felt relaxed instantly.

"Ha, it looks like this guy is no longer good, and has regressed to the first level of his profession!"

Arogan grinned and rubbed his hands:

"Without the ability of the Bishop to stack values, what's so scary about a mere brainless Echo!"

After saying this, he put his hands together, and a hundred-foot-tall arhat suddenly appeared behind him. The arhat had angry eyes and Buddha's light emanated from behind his head. He held a vajra in one hand and raised a scroll of the true scripture in the other.

In an instant, heaven and earth were in turmoil, and the Buddhist sounds of admonition and exhortation echoed in all directions.

[Da Huang Sect’s unique skill: Demon Subduing and World Purifying Mirror]

As the awakening skill of the fourth-level profession [Golden Body Arhat], if you don't use a plug-in, two hundred blue bars are not enough to summon the Arhat's true body.

But with the enhancement of plug-ins, what is the point of a fourth-level profession?
Even if a god's supporter comes to the mortal world, if you don't listen to his Buddhist teachings, you must learn his boxing skills!
"Ah! I use my fists to pacify the evil spirits in the heavens, and the Buddha uses the true Dharma to save the ghosts and monsters in the world!"

The clothes on Arogan's body exploded instantly, and the swirling flames formed a Chongming brilliance. He pointed one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, and shouted at the small headless man on the ground:
"I am the only one in heaven and under heaven!"

Behind him, an angry arhat was holding up the true scripture, and immediately above the earth, a blazing golden fire was swirling, determined to purify all the evil and filth in the world. At the same time, the vajra was raised high and smashed straight down towards Li Oz.

"Death to the evildoer!"

The headless Li Oz stood on the ground, his whole body was burned by real fire, but he remained normal.

"Sequence fifty-six."

Li Oz crossed his arms and slowly opened a magnificent rift in front of him:

"【Crescent Moon】!"

While the accumulated [Charm] of more than 55 was still there, Li Aozi gave up those fancy operations.

The arcane skills that should have been developed more deeply were directly used to force out an effect by taking advantage of the numerical advantage!
【Wanyue·Multi-dimensional Hall of Valor】

"A brilliant man who was murdered, betrayed, and perished. Guided by the arcane, heeded my call and followed my will."

Li Oz knew very well that no matter who could summon the [Crescent Moon] with this value, it would be enough to deal with the current situation.

After all, the respected [Star Drop Master] Liz also did it.

The vajra fell down with a loud bang!
——sonorous!
The pale sharp blade was suddenly raised up and directly blocked the huge vajra that was as magnificent as a skyscraper.

Boom boom boom——————!
The smoke and dust were noisy and rolled in.

"…It's really unexpected. I didn't expect that a being like me would reappear in the world in this form."

"It doesn't matter. I thought that existences like us should have been completely destroyed long ago."

When the smoke and dust cleared, the scene before them was so surprising that even Li Oz, who had summoned the people, felt a little surprised.

The first person who appeared in front of him was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He looked very amiable and was standing with a cane in his hand. He wore a tricorn hat and had brown hair and eyes. Although his face had become older due to age, his angular face remained charming because he had taken good care of it.

When he looked at Lioz, he smiled friendly, took off his hat and saluted:

"Your Excellency, although this is the first time we meet, I have heard my best friend mention you many times."

"You are..." Li Oz frowned: "You have the scent of etheric blood on you - Earthling?"

"Earth? Yes, in a sense, I am from Earth, but I prefer to call myself a Hainesian."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly:
"Collector Raguel Treki, also known as the Curator, salutes you, the respected God of the Present World, His Majesty the Executor Leoz."

"And I."

Click!

The silver-white blade tore through the dust, revealing the hideous shark knight armor. He tilted his head and looked at Li Oz through the scarlet cross window:

"【White Knight】Amer Knight."

“I’m a Haines guy first, and a person second.”

"Now, I am your sword, Your Majesty Leoz."

Li Oz was a little surprised.

"I never thought that my charm could attract secretive people."

"Really? Not necessarily."

"Wow, then you may underestimate your charm."

"We have always hoped to fight for you."

Familiar voices rang out one after another, Li Oz was stunned and turned his head.

It wasn't just the Collector and the White Knight who walked out of the gap.

"It's so strange. I was dissecting an Earthling in the lab just now, how come I'm here all of a sudden?"

Ms. N4 threw away the hammer as if nothing had happened and looked at Li Oz:

"But since you were the one who summoned me here, it can't be considered a bad thing."

"Tsk, you're a terrorist, but you know so many awesome people."

A young man with black and white hair wearing a mechanical exoskeleton looked at the people around him:

"I, Du Zexin, am a [Mechanic]."

Snapped!
Nephis stomped heavily on the ground, as speechless and cold as ever. However, she had changed all her equipment. It was made of some unknown creature, but it was extremely hideous and terrifying, emitting an unsettling bloody murderous aura.

"Boss, I accidentally died in another dimension. Luckily I won the resurrection match and came back. Who should I kill now?"

After saying this, she clenched her claws, and the aura of Sigma level (18) emanated from her body.

Fu……………………

Just when Li Oz thought it was over, the crack suddenly expanded, and a human-shaped light and shadow tore open the crack that was about to close, and managed to delay it for a few seconds before jumping out.

The light and shadow were very unstable, but they soon condensed into a person that Li Oz did not expect.

The strong wind blows, lifting the silky black hair, and the circular cross ornament on the forehead emits a sacred luster.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her emerald green eyes. From that moment on, people knew that there was someone in the world who was as beautiful as Lioz. The newcomer had delicate features and heroic spirit. She was wearing a silver-white skirt and armor. She moved a little, as if she was adapting to this body, and then slowly walked forward and knelt down to Lioz to pay homage:

"【Goddess of Truth】Charquinia, come as I am called, my Lord."
