The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

"Ha ha!"

After experiencing that sense of annihilation that wiped everything out, light returned once more.

Bai Ling and Li Kui woke up from their nightmare and returned to the floating island, where they were now lying on the island, panting heavily.

They were now almost unable to muster any strength. The blow that nearly crushed their bodies had severely injured them, leaving them powerless to resist.

Bai Ling slumped down, her limbs weak. She looked around and saw the floating island. It was the same floating island, but the huge sacred tree that should have been in the center was nowhere to be seen. In its place stood Ye Xiao leisurely to the side.

He looked relaxed, without a single scratch on his body, as if he hadn't experienced anything at all.

"What... what exactly happened?"

Bai Ling was unwilling to accept this and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

Li Kui also looked up at Ye Xiao. There was no longer any charred blackening as before, as if everything before was just an illusion.

"Is that an illusion? Or a dream you created?"

Ye Xiao shrugged. "Since I have already successfully obtained power and you have already lost, I will make sure you understand why you lost!"

"It's not an illusion. If it were an illusion, how could it make you actually expend energy?"

Bai Ling frowned. "Could it be another dimension? Why don't I feel anything?"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, because that is the world of consciousness, a space that only consciousness can enter. And you are all consciousness energy bodies now. Everything in that space is under my control. The moment you stepped onto the floating island, you were already pulled into the world of consciousness."

“I will project the scene of the floating island into it so that you will think that it is a floating island.”

"Ha!" Bai Ling suddenly laughed in anger. "So, you didn't fall into the crevice at all, but took the opportunity to escape? Leaving the two of us there to waste our time?"

Ye Xiao smiled faintly and remained silent, while Li Kui was so angry that he pounded the ground.

"Damn it, I knew you were treacherous and despicable, how did I still fall for your trick!"

"Ye Xiao!" Li Kui pointed his finger at Ye Xiao's nose and cursed loudly.

"If you're so capable, then fight me head-on! What kind of skill is it to try and cheat here?"

"Tch!" Ye Xiao scoffed. "You guys don't think it's because I can't win in a head-on fight, do you?"

Ye Xiao scoffed lightly: "Why would I waste my time and effort if I could win with my brain?"

He raised his hand and nodded. "Outsmarting someone is also part of strength, okay? You two are so capable, why don't you use your brains?"

"you……"

Li Kui was so angry that he had a heart attack and angrily pounded the ground.

"Damn it, I thought I was cautious enough this time, how come I still made a mistake!"

Bai Ling slumped to the ground, utterly exhausted, a look of frustration on her face. "We had already entered the rift, yet we still lost!"

Ye Xiao shook his head helplessly, "Alright, for the sake of our brotherhood..."

"Who said you're my brother?"

Li Kui spat at Ye Xiao in annoyance, and Ye Xiao twitched his eye.

"Hey, I was trying to kindly share some of my experience with you guys, but you're just being nice and getting no appreciation. If you don't want to listen, fine!"

Bai Ling looked up at Ye Xiao and asked, "Oh? What's your opinion?"

He has failed for the third time and has already lost. The result cannot be changed, so he might as well listen to what Ye Xiao has to say.

This guy is really smart; he might actually be able to give some useful advice.

Ye Xiao shook his head and laughed, "Actually, I could have eliminated you before the rift opened. If it weren't for the time constraint, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to open the rift."

Bai Ling and Li Kui frowned. Indeed, Ye Xiao had broken through the restriction faster than they had, so it wouldn't have been difficult for him to hunt them down.

Ye Xiao paced slowly, "You guys, Chen Ziliang, and Lan Hai, all made the same mistake!"

The two raised their eyebrows in confusion, only to hear Ye Xiao say, "You're both too cautious, to the point that you've developed a sense of fear in your hearts!"

“You always think you have plenty of time, but you forget that challengers have a natural advantage. You need to race against time with the challengers to break the restrictions. This time is the best time to eliminate competitors.”

"From the moment I entered the rift, I realized that a direct confrontation was not an option. Everything inside the rift consumes energy, and even subduing authority requires a huge amount of energy to maintain. Therefore, using strategy is absolutely necessary. If we only think about fighting to the death head-on, we will definitely not achieve our goal!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Li Kui and Bai Ling exchanged glances, their furrowed brows remaining unchanged for a long time. Indeed, after their failed challenge, they had been cautious and hesitant in both raids.

Although people always say that Ye Xiao is cunning, he did succeed. No matter what method he uses, as long as it works!

Bai Ling sighed and shook her head.

"Sigh! I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the next time. I'll have to learn more from you next time! Learning has become so cunning!"

Li Kui stood up with his hands on his hips. "Alright, we've already lost. If I get the chance, I'll definitely fight you!"

"Okay!"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "My system is a live streaming system. What kind of system is yours?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's question, Li Kui and Bai Ling both paused for a second.

Li Kui: "Mine is the Apocalypse System."

Bai Ling: "Mine is the Treasure Chest System."

Ye Xiao nodded and waved to the two of them.

"Alright, goodbye. I'll settle this with you guys one-on-one later, let's have a good match!"

Li Kui clenched his fists. "Alright, just wait and see if I don't burn you to ashes!"

Bai Ling waved his hand, "Sure, then you can wait to be sliced ​​up by me!"

The two figures slowly disappeared from the spot, and a feeling of weightlessness instantly swept over Ye Xiao. He felt his consciousness rapidly falling, and then his consciousness returned.

Ye Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and all he could see was the pale ceiling.

Beneath me was a soft bed, and bright sunlight streamed onto it from the window on one side, while a lively commotion drifted in from outside.

Ye Xiao sat up, stretched, and yawned.

He brought up the system panel to check the task progress.

【"Lord of the World" Quest:】

1. "Faith" achievement, current progress 100%...

2. "Honor" achievement, current progress 80%...

3. Spatial Rune *1 (Saved)

4. "Eternal Body": Requirements met: Immortality (met); Super Regeneration (met); Immortal Core (obtained)

5. "The Authority of the Lord of the World" (Already Acquired)

"Huh? What's going on? When did the Faith Achievement quest reach 100%? What have Chen Ge and the others been doing all this time?"

Ye Xiao sat up in bed with a slight puzzlement. He had been lying in bed for several days without any physical problems, but he hadn't showered for a few days and was starting to smell.

After washing up in the bathroom, Ye Xiao changed into some dry clothes and walked out of the room.

The streets are now much busier, filled with adventurers coming and going. As you arrive at Adventurer's Square, a huge sculpture suddenly appears before your eyes.

Ye Xiao looked up in bewilderment at the stone sculpture that was exactly like himself, his mouth agape in disbelief.

"I said, how does faith become 100%?! Build a statue of me? What genius came up with that idea?"

Ye Xiao glanced at the crowd in the square who were all looking up at the statue, and his lips twitched violently.

"This is so damn embarrassing!"
