Upon opening the envelope, Jiang Ran's consciousness sank back into it.
But this time it wasn't a small, confined room. Jiang Ran found himself flying in the sky, with a cacophony of voices below, as if some important ceremony was taking place.
"Is this... the ascension of an emperor?"
Jiang Ran carefully examined the clothing of the officials below. There was no doubt that this was the Qing Dynasty!
But what number does the Qing Dynasty represent? This is completely baffling.
Perhaps we should first determine which emperor this is, and then determine the number based on the order of his ascension to the throne. Jiang Ran was about to continue observing the scene in front of him when it suddenly changed!
Emperor Taizu of Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang!
Genghis Khan, Temujin!
The scene changes faster and faster, with one emperor after another who left a deep mark on Chinese history flashing by. Jiang Ran thought the scene would stop on Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, but the scene continued!
Zhou, Shang, Xia!
The filming finally stopped after they had traveled all over Chinese history!
Jiang Ran's mind was about to explode, mainly because he had received too much information at once. Although this prompt was the longest of all the prompts, it was also the most vague!
Many people use the idiom "second only to one person" to praise ministers who have reached the highest rank. If the pinnacle of a minister is being second only to one person, then the emperor is the "one person" above them!
So the last digit of the password should be 1?
No, no, no, this conjecture is too far-fetched. If the imagery extends to Qin Shi Huang, then this conjecture is somewhat plausible. However, the appearance of even ancient tribes in the background suggests that this information may not be referring to the "emperor" at all!
China is one of the four ancient civilizations. Could the code be four?
That's unlikely. For example, the third clue is water, and at least the other four elements are mentioned. The video doesn't mention the other three ancient civilizations at all, so that's probably not what it means.
As expected of the last password? The puzzle is indeed quite difficult. Jiang Ran decided not to waste the opportunity to experiment and would wait until he guessed a more likely answer before proceeding with the experiment.
Soon, only half an hour remained until the end of the second phase.
Jiang Ran ran into an acquaintance again, or rather, a familiar dog.
The big black dog was urinating by the tree when it suddenly caught sight of Jiang Ran. It didn't pay much attention to Jiang Ran, but Jiang Ran rubbed its eyes to make sure it wasn't mistaken.
"What... are you doing here?"
This is utterly illogical! The big black dog isn't some kind of supernatural being; it should simply be a creature belonging to the world of "Night Demon City." How could it possibly have come to another world?!
"Don't look like you've never seen anything like this before." The big black dog came forward after urinating. "I was indeed corrupted by 'He,' but now our world is finished. Logically, I should have been buried along with the world, but for some reason, I inexplicably became a strange individual."
It's likely that the big black dog isn't the first bizarre creature to transform from an ordinary bizarre being into a bizarre individual; it's just that their numbers are so small that many people mistake them for undiscovered bizarre individuals!
So, does that mean Jiang Ran has discovered a new, bizarre individual?
Individual ID 863, Desert Reaper!
"Hey, Death God, which faction do you belong to? Do you have any special abilities?"
The big black dog pondered for a moment: "It should be neutral, I think. I think I have some kind of rule, but I've forgotten. As for abilities... being able to fight should count, right?"
How good is he at fighting?
The big black dog pointed at Gwen with its paw: "At least beating this girl in a one-on-one fight shouldn't be a problem."
"Huh?" Gwen pulled out a large pair of scissors from behind her back, looking like she wanted to start a fight right there!
"Alright, alright, you two are neutral, you have no grudges or grudges, don't fight here." Jiang Ran turned to the big black dog and said, "You're unlikely to run into anyone else if you stay here, why don't you come with me and do something big?"
Do you know where the others are?
"Of course, I can also take you to our headquarters."
"Kid, don't try to fool me." The big black dog grinned. "Deal!"
As expected, he didn't encounter a single person for the remaining half hour. Jiang Ran took a deep breath and headed back to the starting point!
Only five people survived this round!
Dragon Kingdom, Jiang Ran, Jiang Yaoyao.
White Eagle Kingdom, Arceus.
Huoluo Kingdom, Ji Cang River.
The Land of Fire, the Whirlpool Birdman.
Although Jiang Ran had considered that the number of survivors might only be in the single digits, he did not expect it to be so few. Jiang Ran originally thought that at least one of the two guys from the Northern Alliance would survive. Could they have run into Arceus?
Aisha is dead. If the two of them don't appear here again, they must be dead.
Jiang Yaoyao sized up the other four people present. The vortex birdman might not necessarily help anyone, but Ji Cangshui would most likely be more inclined to side with Jiang Ran. Fortunately, she eliminated Qi Long in advance, otherwise Jiang Ran's side would have a much stronger influence.
The more balanced the two strong players are, the more opportunities others will have to exploit the loopholes!
The host brought out a ballot box as usual; the rules were already clear, and he didn't need to explain them again.
“Brother Jiang, even though we’ll still be enemies in the end, why don’t we throw out the biggest threat first?” Jiang Yaoyao leaned in and pointed at Arceus.
"Although I really want to vote him out, it's not certain."
"Have confidence, Brother Jiang!" Jiang Yaoyao patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder. "How about we make a bet? I bet you can definitely get Arceus out!"
"Then I'll take your good wishes."
Jiang Ran turned his head, but his eyes were somewhat gloomy.

[The Wolf Wizard can incapacitate others within a minute of physical contact. The Wolf Wizard can also choose not to activate the ability immediately; if so, the Wolf Wizard can choose to reactivate the ability at any time within one hour.]
The seeds have been sown; let them become lambs to the slaughter.
Jiang Ran calmly used the [Wolf Prophet] ability to remove the influence Jiang Yaoyao had placed on him.
Jiang Yaoyao was betting that "Arthas will definitely be thrown out in this round." If she bet correctly, Jiang Ran would also die, which would mean that she had killed two SSS-level talent holders in one phase.
If she had made the wrong bet, neither Arceus nor Jiang Ran would have died during this phase, and the situation could have returned to equilibrium.
