"Brother?" Li Qianxia walked up with concern.

"It's nothing." Li Changzhou snapped out of his thoughts.

“Boss Li,” his voice trembled, “we shouldn’t have doubted you; we were wrong.”

"From now on, we'll do whatever the boss says!" Deadly Flame said hastily.

Li Changzhou looked at the central king.

“There were some mistakes in the process, but in the end, it was your father who voluntarily handed over the crown, so I let you go.”

The Central King, remembering his deceased father, shed tears on his face, which had been filled with sorrow for the King of Wind and Light.

"The Central Government still belongs to you. Earthlings who enter must abide by the laws you have set... You have a respectable father who loves God, but he loves you even more than God does."

Wang Shuang, her face flushed, looked up as if to say something, but Li Changzhou flicked a drop of blood into her mouth.

"What are you doing!" The captain of the guard drew his sword.

"stop!"

The captain of the guard looked at the central king, whose horrific wound on her shoulder was slowly healing—this was not why the central king had ordered the captain of the guard to stop.

She had already lost too much in these fourteen days and didn't want to see another master, who was willing to draw his sword to the gods for her, die.

Li Changzhou turned around and looked at Li Qianxia, ​​Yang Qinglan, and Yaochi: "Let's go back."

As the game began, apart from Hou Feng, who refused to return, and the deceased Xiong Xinzhuangzhi, the remaining twenty-six people transformed into streaks of light and burst out of the atmosphere of the Four Seasons Star.

With such immense power and speed, not even a gust of wind was stirred on the ground; the Central King only saw twenty-six shooting stars flash past the edge of the sun.

Despite the distance of billions of light-years, what Li Changzhou saw when he opened his eyes was the waiting hall.

The lights were bright, and Xiaoyue looked at them with a smile. Behind her was a serious-looking photographer.

The surroundings were empty, with only the twenty-six of them.

"Only we succeeded?" Li Changzhou took off the crown, and Li Qianxia immediately took it from him.

"It's hard to say yet, there's still one more day," Xiaoyue replied.

"How many teams were wiped out?" Yaochi asked.

"Wait a moment." Xiaoyue's eyes were fixed on the ceiling of the waiting room, as if she were listening, or as if she were traveling across endless light-years to check on the situation of each group.

"Brother," Li Qianxia whispered, "Is it okay for me to wear this?"

"The King of Wind and Light is dead."

Li Qianxia carefully put on the crown, and in an instant, her consciousness descended upon the Four Seasons Star.

This feeling is wonderful. The Four Seasons Star is the divine body of the King of Wind and Light. After wearing the crown, you can control this divine body and its derivatives, somewhat like a game administrator's account.

The difference is that manipulating the divine body is very difficult.

Li Qianxia, ​​born into a noble family, shared some of Li Changzhou's divine body and learned a lot about the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements from him and Yang Qinglan, but all she could do was let it rain.

She found clear water, and it rained on her alone.

Seeing Shimizu's stunned expression, Li Qianxia let out a chuckle like she would when reading a romance novel.

"Alright." Xiaoyue looked away from the ceiling.

Li Qianxia quickly came to her senses.

“I don’t know how many died, not including you. There are still thirteen groups alive. We can consider ten groups dead, but there is still hope for the three groups,” Xiaoyue said.

She clasped her hands together, her chest heaving beneath her flight attendant uniform, and closed one eye, saying, "Alright, forget about them, your business isn't over yet~"

First, there are the rewards.

From this moment forward, each of the twenty-six survivors can open a portal directly to the Four Seasons Star.

"The portal can only be opened in the real world. It cannot be used once you enter the buses, subways, ships, or airplanes under our jurisdiction," Xiaoyue explained.

Xiao Wu curiously opened the portal.

It was a very ordinary door. Li Changzhou could estimate its size at a glance: 2.4 meters high, 0.8 meters wide, and negligible thickness.

His keen eye was honed while building houses in the honeypot world, and it's limited to that aspect.

Across the door was a blizzard; snowflakes passed through the door and landed on the floor of the waiting hall, quickly melting into water.

"Close it, close it quickly, it's freezing!" Xiaoyue pressed down on the hem of her uniform skirt.

Xiao Wu quickly closed the door.

This was the reward obtained at the cost of fifty-four players and millions of Four Seasons Star lives. Li Qianxia didn't know what its significance was.

Value Games is holding a New Year event (Four Seasons Star is the Festival of Wind and Light). Is it to eliminate the weak and inspire players' ambition, or to eliminate the gods who are trying to resurrect?

Fatal Flame and the others were very excited. They had survived, and there was a portal to other planets!

The portal can be used to escape, and it's also a backup plan after Earth is destroyed—no one can guarantee that Earth won't be in trouble.

You can also trade with special operations bureaus, major factions, and companies, opening portals for them in exchange for the game currency, items, money, and status you need.

"This event is also considered a mission, so you can enjoy yourself for the next fifteen days without having to log into the game," Xiaoyue said, as if to say, "You've hit the jackpot."

Everyone wanted to punch her.

Putting aside the level of danger, just considering the time involved, no matter how long a regular game mission is, only one day has passed in the real world. Players who participate in the New Year's event will suffer a huge loss.

There's also a real perk: players can sell their memories and collect tickets on the ship.

This is a considerable income; players all over the world would probably buy tickets to watch it.

However, rewards always come with risks. Players who sell memories can change their appearance, but their skills will be exposed.

A player is at their strongest when they reveal their skills before making a move, giving the enemy the feeling that they can be defeated, much like a boss showing off their health bar.
