The three thousand people on the purple wooden boat were all top-tier players who had seen countless battles. What kind of scene hadn't they witnessed? But upon hearing this, their breaths still flared.
The winner!
"To become the victor, we must eliminate the King of Black Mist; he is the greatest threat," someone said ominously.
No one responded, no one expressed their opinion, and everyone's expressions were hidden by the system.
The silence at this moment reveals a sense of contemplation and tacit understanding—even if one doesn't actively hunt down the King of Black Mist, one will still pay more attention to him because of these words.
Li Changzhou glanced around but couldn't identify the person who had started the trouble. He didn't know if it was a skill or system protection.
With the help of the golden light, the purple wooden boat moved forward, sailing against the current faster than downstream, as if it had received permission from some being.
The river stretched endlessly, and from the boat, one could not see its end. All around was pitch black, as if all the light had escaped to the boat.
Soon, everyone on the ship heard a huge roaring sound of water, like a waterfall.
Indeed, a magnificent waterfall appeared before us.
"A tree?"
"What kind of tree? It can actually block the river of time?!"
The waterfall exists because of an unimaginably huge and powerful tree trunk lying across the vast river of time.
The river silted up here, forming a huge waterfall.
"Look at the top of the waterfall!"
"Someone shouted in horror."
Li Changzhou looked over immediately and trembled violently as if his whole body was about to collapse.
At the top of the waterfall, a group of magnificent figures stood on the tree trunks, their gazes fixed on the downstream flow of time like rows of stars.
—Divine will!
The river of time surged with towering waves, the waterfall's force erupted with a deafening roar, and the purple wooden boat swayed precariously, like a candle about to be extinguished.
—Divine will? I've heard of that name before; it's said they willingly sided with the victor and became his lackey?
—Now he's a boatman.
--Ha ha ha ha!
It was as if the will of heaven was communicating; the power of sound alone caused a monstrous surge in the river of time.
In fact, they are indeed having a dialogue across time and space.
Faced with the mockery, the Divine Sage did not retaliate; she simply fulfilled her duty by explaining the details of the 'Intercepting the Saints' quest to the players.
—To intercept the saints is to kill everyone on the Waterfall of Time.
—Kill us?
—Even the will of heaven and earth cannot accomplish this, so how could they?
—It is divine will that after the tree is broken, we will surely have a battle!
A purple divine aura suddenly swept across the boat, and a figure dressed in a purple robe appeared on the wooden boat. Everyone could only make out the mysterious lines on the purple robe. If they looked any further, they would be injured by the aura.
puff!
Dozens of people vomited blood.
The others quickly looked away.
The wooden boat, which was almost capsizing, became as stable as Mount Tai when she stepped on it. No matter how great the storms of time, they could not shake it in the slightest, just as time itself could not be completely cut off.
—Divine will!
—I know you haven't left, come out!
The surface of the river of time is like a giant drum, being struck by countless unseen giant hands, creating bursts of waves.
Amidst these waves, three thousand people witnessed some people in the long river of history aging rapidly, some enjoying a brief period of immortality, some experiencing time reversal, and some believing they had successfully invented a time machine.
Pairs of eyes scan the river of time, looking like stars, but if a star is stared at directly, it will obediently go out.
—Sages are unfathomable. Unless one searches every inch of the earth, even sages cannot find each other if one does not wish to be discovered.
"God explained," God said, and then continued.
—I want to tell you that the winner is indeed one of you, and there's no need to hide that.
Everyone gasped for breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.
—All players will aim to kill you.
—You will also kill each other.
—Even non-players' lives will be taken against you.
—These are not your biggest challenges. Your biggest challenge is to kill the saints on the Waterfall of Time.
Those saints are the most nourishing meal for the victors, the key to becoming a victor.
Are saints nourishment?
Along the way, Li Changzhou learned the abilities of various creatures on Earth, the Taoist magic and supernatural powers from history, obtained all kinds of rare and precious materials, experienced tribulations in virtual time and space, and even had skills from anime.
Value games are indeed like raising an infant, feeding players with various nutrients.
And now, all the saints who are still alive and have not become official players are the richest meal of the value game.
Of the three thousand people at the table, whoever eats the most is the winner.
"But... how are we supposed to kill... deal with a saint?"
Because of this understanding, they didn't even dare to utter the words "kill the saint."
—This is what you need to think about and do.
The purple wooden boat began its return journey, traveling downstream along the river of time.
Three thousand players gazed at the magnificent, sacred figures on the waterfall, unable to recover for a long time.
The strongest among them has become a Celestial Immortal, but the distance between a Celestial Immortal and a Saint is almost equivalent to the difference between a mortal and a Saint.
Suddenly, amidst the overwhelming figures, Li Changzhou spotted some small figures: Celestial Immortals, Third-Order, Emperors, Epic Masters, Great Magicians, and Grandmasters.
He detected a familiar aura within it.
Lord of Glory.
He was also blocked on the Waterfall of Time.
etc.
“Sage,” Li Changzhou said respectfully to the purple-robed figure, “I saw a third-tier warrior on the waterfall. I once fought against the techniques he left behind. Since a third-tier warrior can do this, could it be that the Sage has also left something in the river of time, letting it flow downstream?”
