The Four Seas Dragon Kings had never imagined that Ye Tian would possess such an item!
The Chaos Gourd Vine was something that existed only in legends. No one had even been able to confirm its existence. Yet now, how had this thing ended up in Ye Tian's hands?
For a moment, the Four Seas Dragon Kings had no idea what to say.
Seeing their astonished expressions, Ye Tian smiled. "That's a secret. But these four leaves of the Chaos Gourd Vine should be enough to raise your strength again, right?"
"Congratulations! The Four Seas Dragon Kings' favorability toward you has increased to 120 points!"
"Congratulations! The Four Seas Dragon Kings' favorability toward you has increased to 200 points!"
"Congratulations! The Four Seas Dragon Kings' favorability toward you has increased to 500 points!"
That was right. After favorability reached 100 points, it could still continue to rise. And as favorability increased, intimacy would grow as well.
More precisely, 100 favorability points were enough to make someone climb a mountain of blades or descend into a boiling cauldron for another person.
But the closer the relationship, the more things they could do and the more powerful those things would be!
Listening to the pleasant favorability notifications, Ye Tian nodded slightly.
East Sea Dragon King immediately smiled. "Tell us. What do you want us to do?"
"We're all family now. We can't stand on ceremony with each other."
Sure enough!
The favorability was taking effect.
Ye Tian nodded without hesitation and briefly explained his understanding of the previous-life war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, as well as the fact that someone had been manipulating things from behind the scenes.
At the same time, he also described the Qilin Clan's scheme.
"So that's how it was... No wonder the Qilin Clan turned against them so quickly. And someone even framed the Dragon Clan at the time, claiming that they had stolen something from the Phoenix Clan. The key was that no one from the Dragon Clan had done it. No one was stupid."
"Exactly. So I'll handle what comes next, but I'll need you to contribute some strength."
"Oh? Let's hear it."
"Progenitor Dragon is preparing to give a lecture too, isn't he? Give me the coordinates. If I remember correctly, the lecture will begin in a little over an hour. I want to attend it."
"That won't be a problem. We were already planning to arrange this lecture for you. But speaking of which, your Chosen Ones' method of keeping time really is convenient. Hours, minutes, and seconds are much more convenient than several quarter-hours or several double-hours."
"Hehe, in that case, I'll start making arrangements. Let's wait for our great victory this time!"
Having received the answer he wanted, Ye Tian nodded in satisfaction. Since that was settled, there were many more things he could do.
"You chat among yourselves. I'm going to check on Little Dragon Girl and the others."
After resolving the matter, Ye Tian did not linger. His figure flashed, and he quickly vanished from the spot.
The Four Seas Dragon Kings stared somewhat blankly at Ye Tian's departing back.
After a moment, West Sea Dragon King said cautiously, "This Chosen One seems to have quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said something like that."
"Indeed. His abilities are completely beyond your imagination. Do you know what Ye Tian did just now after leaving the Dragon Clan?" A glint flashed through East Sea Dragon King's eyes as he dangled the answer before them.
"What?"
The other three Sea Dragon Kings froze instinctively, then pressed him for an answer.
"According to the information gathered from the other Chosen Ones, Ye Tian... he, he, he successfully married Ancestral Phoenix! And the two of them even..." As East Sea Dragon King spoke, he made a clapping motion with both hands, imitating a series of smacks.
The moment they saw this, the other three Sea Dragon Kings exploded!
"Holy crap... Th-this has to be fake, right?! Is this kid really that awesome?!"
"Investigate it yourselves. You'll know as soon as you check!"
As they communicated, the three Sea Dragon Kings' eyes filled with overwhelming shock upon hearing East Sea Dragon King's words.
They had never imagined that such a thing could happen.
This, this, this was truly terrifying!
Just as the Dragon Clan was reeling from the shock, Ye Tian arrived beside Chang'e and Little Dragon Girl. After the three chatted briefly, the Game Access Bracelet on Ye Tian's palm suddenly radiated a pale blue light.
Then, in an instant, Ye Tian vanished from the spot.
At the same time, countless players all returned to the real world in that instant!
At that moment—the eight hours of the second game entry had ended!
At that instant, the entire game world seemed as if someone had pressed the pause button. The flow of time instantly became incredibly slow.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterward, countless people in the real world opened their eyes.
The real world had returned!
And now.
The central city of America.
Inside the Underground City.
The super-big shot of America sat in a rather damp office. Looking at the data displayed on the computer, he narrowed his eyes.
"The Phoenix Clan is indeed powerful... But they absolutely can't defeat the Qilin Clan. With the addition of our Chosen Ones, the first to fall in the coming war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans will be the Phoenix Clan!"
"As for the Dragon Clan, that will be easy..."
The super-big shot wore a suit, and a cold gleam shone in his eyes.
That was right. Over the past two days, he had watched Ye Tian rapidly increase his strength and grow stronger step by step. Just now, Ye Tian had even gotten involved with Yuanfeng and successfully established a relationship with her. In his eyes, this was simply unimaginable.
Moreover, this absolutely could not continue!
If Ye Tian remained at the top of the pyramid for too long, it would weaken the strength and prestige of countless people, including the influence America held across the entire Earth.
Indeed, if this continued for a long time, Ye Tian and the Dragon Country Federation behind him would inevitably remain above everyone else.
This was something that America—and even the other Federal Empires—could never tolerate.
"Messages have arrived from Ninja Country, A Country, Europe, and the other Federal Empires."
As the super-big shot pondered, a secretary wearing fishnet stockings walked over. She sat on his lap and spoke in a coquettish voice.
"What's the news?"
"They completely agreed to this plan. Moreover, they decided to send one million players at once! Including us, ten federal nations are participating in total. That means—ten million players, together with the Qilin Clan, will jointly wipe out the Phoenix Clan and Ye Tian!"
"Good!"
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared at the corner of America's super-big shot's mouth.
The few tens of thousands of players from before had been unable to make waves before Ye Tian because the number of people in their human-wave tactic simply had not been enough.
Now, with ten million players and the Qilin Clan added in, just how are you going to withstand this?!
Before you continue
