A single, simple word, yet it miraculously made people feel an endless chill, nobility, solitude, aloofness, and an indescribable, inexpressible persistence.
Hearing that voice, everyone reacted strongly.
"Oh?!!!" The onlookers covered their mouths.
"This..." Gong Yudie was moved.
Even Chen Jin showed a trace of surprise before it turned into profound contemplation.
Shen Sao Ye scratched his messy hair, his expression complicated. "No way. Has even she grown restless after being still for too long?"
A voice in his mind asked, "Who is she?"
"Our chief scientist, and also our foremost expert. The only reason we can barely keep pace with Tianluo's development in energy, information, and equipment is because of her efforts. She taught all of us our combat abilities as well. Here, she is truly lonely at the top. If not for the inability to connect to the internet, Dark Abyss would never have set foot upon the summit of the world."
Shi Tiexin understood. It had to be her.
After unconsciously explaining in his heart, Shen Sao Ye gave the Jade Falling Saber a wicked grin. "Go on, if you've got the guts. Don't blame me for not warning you—the thing inside is called despair. You'll deeply experience just how vast the gulf is between an ordinary genius and a true monster."
"Despair?" Shi Tiexin reached out and touched the ball of light. "Then let me see her despair."
The radiance surged, then gradually subsided.
Shen Sao Ye logged off at light speed, yanked the cable from the back of his head, and squeezed into the crowd of onlookers to stare intently at the screen with them.
The news spread wildly through the camp. In many different places, people were staring intently at their own screens.
Because she had not fought for a very, very long time.
