Lin Ye Is This World's Good Fortune!

The whole process took less than an hour.

The entire Eastern Ocean Island was covered by the Dragon Country fleet's Eagle Strike missiles.

Ding Chang stood on the deck, looking at the flames of war before him and the vast army behind him protecting him.

He let out a long, mournful roar.

"Happy!"

"I've never felt so good in my life, thank you Lin Ye!"

All good things must come to an end.

The three days for the Instance are almost up.

The Battle was finally coming to an end, and all the Challengers brought their warships to the vicinity of the Dragon God.

The countdown timer on the Firmament also began.

[Firmament Notification: Challengers, there are only three minutes left in the Instance's time limit. So far, none of Challengers have completed the Instance quest. The Instance will fail after the time limit expires!]

[2:59]

[2:58]

[2:57]

[...]

"Lin Ye, this old man really has to say goodbye to you all this time."

Ding Chang leaned against the deck, lit the last cigarette of his life, and slowly took a drag.

"Lao Ding, I'll have one with you." Long Yuan also took a cigarette and smoked it with Ding Chang.

Lin Ye smiled, took the cigarette Ding Chang offered, and lit it skillfully.

"It's so good to have you all here."

"I'm just an old man, and I'm already more than content to have so many compatriots escorting me in the end."

The smoke slowly burned out.

The countdown to the Instance is also nearing its end.

[10.]

[9.]

[8.]

This scene brought tears to the eyes of many of the Great Xia Challengers on the periphery.

For Azure Star, being wiped out by Instance is nothing out of the ordinary, but now, everyone feels a sense of nostalgia.

The world Lin Ye created is so wonderful; there's no need to worry about it being wiped out at any time.

This kind of life is truly something to cherish.

"Lin Ye, Long Yuan, this old man is leaving."

Before I leave, I'll give you one last big gift.

After saying this, Ding Chang threw away his cigarette butt and then jumped into the vast ocean.

A notification from the Firmament rang in his ears.

[Firmament Notification: You have drowned. Your Instance run has ended. Because you chose suicide, you will receive a large penalty of points.]

[You will have 10,000 points deducted! Since your points are reduced to zero, you will be directly eliminated by the Firmament!]

In the icy sea, Ding Chang met his true death.

There was no pleasure in it; in an instant, he was smashed into a mosaic by the Firmament.

"Old Ding?" Lin Ye looked at the sea and pondered for a moment.

"Haha, Lao Ding is still the same as ever, still thinking of ripping off Firmament at a time like this."

"He submitted all his points through the transfer program before entering the Instance, transferring them all to you, leaving him with only a few points."

Now, by choosing to commit suicide before the Instance ends, we can allow the Firmament to punish us and deduct even more points.

Lin Ye naturally understood Ding Chang's intention; he simply wanted Lin Ye to gain more points.

[3.]

[2.]

[1.]

[Firmament Notification: The time limit for the Instance has expired. Firmament has detected no one has completed the Instance. The Instance quest has failed! The Instance is now officially over!]

[All Challengers will have 100 points deducted.]

[The Firmament has detected that no one will be eliminated; all Challengers will be teleported out of the Instance!]

A series of white lights flashed, and the figures of all the Challengers on the Dragon Country warship disappeared, directly teleported back to the real world.

Scene after scene unfolded before the spectators outside the Instance finally understood what Lin Ye and the Challengers were doing.

Farewell!

It really was just a simple farewell.

Everyone sighed in dismay.

A strange emotion lingered in the hearts of billions of Azure Star people.

This kind of trust and mutual help between people is truly rare on Azure Star, and it has made everyone start to reflect.

[This Instance wasn't for farming points, nor was it for distributing points to Challengers. These Great Xia people entered the Instance simply to bid farewell to the old man named Ding Chang.]

[Although I don't quite understand this behavior, I'm inexplicably moved.]

To die under the protection of so many of my people—isn't that a kind of luck?

[Although no advanced technology was showcased this time, I have a feeling that Lin Ye wanted to teach everyone a deeper lesson.]

[I think we've all misunderstood Lin Ye. He's not the ruthless killer everyone describes. On the contrary, think about it: Lin Ye doesn't actually like killing. His Instance usually have a surrender option; if you obediently admit defeat, most people won't be eliminated.]

[Yes, the deaths of those people in the previous Instance were entirely their own fault. If they hadn't been trying to steal Lin Ye's technology, they wouldn't have died.]

[Lin Ye wasn't here to torment this world; he was here to save it.]

[Look at the Great Xia people, so many are willing to pay 100 points to bid farewell to an old man. Then think of the Dahe Settlement South Korea Settlements before, where everyone was treacherous and harbored ulterior motives!]

[If the entire Azure Star were like the Great Xia people, perhaps our world wouldn't be in this terrible state now.]

At this moment, not only the ordinary people watching these Instance livestreams, but also the Commander of those Settlements are watching this Instance.

Inside the cathedral in the Nirmaner Settlement, after seeing the ending scene of the Instance, Xi'er lit a cigar and started smoking.

"Ding Chang... I was partly responsible for your downfall back then, but that doesn't matter anymore."

May you rest in peace.

He summoned all Three Great Generals to his side and began to give them instructions.

"Tell everyone in the Nirmaner Settlement to close their respective Instances tomorrow. Our Settlement will take a day off."

The people of the Nirmaner Settlement make a living by conquering Instance; their lives consist of nothing but Instance.

But now Xi'er also wants her people to get some rest.

In the royal palace of the Gaul Settlement, Fulangche, leaning on his cane, looked somewhat moved.

He lit a cigar and started smoking it by himself.

In fact, like Ding Chang, he was also unwell.

Even a top expert like him, a legendary figure who dominated the top of the Hero Rankings for decades, could not escape illness and would one day leave this world.

"Lin Ye, it seems I've never truly understood you."

"It is truly a blessing for this world to have someone like you."

"The Bonaparte Family lost to you, and it's not unjust at all."

Looking at the Azure Star Dome that covered the entire world, Fulangche let out a long sigh.

Thinking back on all the little things that happened along the way, it all felt like a dream.

"Heh... I wonder if my clansmen will see me off when I die?"

If Lin Ye's previous Instance was about suppressing the entire world, then at this moment, Lin Ye is using an Instance to send off his people, which is warming the entire cold world with his actions.
