Your Name, Zhang Mingzhen's Final Chance

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhen, full of ambition and not yet fully pulled back to his Zhang Mingzhen self, was unaware that the mastermind behind the scenes was already preparing to have his heart transplanted.

Of course, Gao Linzhi was kind; he was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.

Considering that "Zhang Mingzhen" had uncovered many of the system's secrets for him, he would give the other party a chance to make amends.

The first heart transplant was successful; it was just a reenactment of "Your Name," where they swapped identities and he got to experience the life of an ordinary player again.

At this very moment.

As expected, in the initial stages, some guilds, unaware of their own limitations, launched an attack towards the Deep-Sea Dragon Palace.

As players' levels generally increased, they were able to fight the fish monsters on the beach to a standstill, and these monsters could no longer stop the advance of large-scale teams.

Zhang Mingzhen didn't care which region or organization these people came from, and swept them all away with high-intensity wide-area sweeping skills.

The once orderly team formation was torn apart in an instant by his Frenzy output, and tens of thousands of players instantly turned into white light and returned to the respawn point to be reborn.

The Wildsea Candle Dragon was not idle either, casting the "Overturn the Sea" spell behind its master, swallowing up all the enemies that tried to approach.

Aside from a few players with survival skills, the entire team was routed in a single encounter, with the survivors scattering and fleeing.

"Holy crap, is this even human?"

"We're all players, why do I look like someone standing on the street?"

Even if a few people manage to cross the seabed and reach the Dragon Palace gates, the Flower Spirit guarding the gates will immediately detect them and completely eliminate them from the territory.

The first wave of attackers was driven back to the respawn point, and guild spies lurking in various locations quickly relayed the intelligence to all factions.

"Chongxing is indeed Chongxing; it's not a challenge that can be taken lightly."

"Have our ruthless methods, like those of Cheater, ever made you tremble?"

"The damage mechanism is far too overpowered. I suggest that guilds not try it now; it's just a waste of time."

"Urgent intelligence! The garrison of Tomb City has withdrawn ahead of schedule, and the main force of the Evil God Faction is heading south, with their only route pointing towards the Deep-Sea Dragon Palace!"

"Unbelievable! The Evil God Faction so arrogant now? They dare to directly point fingers at that supreme god? Just how inflated have they become!"

"Further developments will be continuously tracked by onlookers!"

Having just cleared out the first wave of enemies, Zhang Mingzhen casually cleared out the wandering monsters around him, waiting for the second wave to arrive.

The previous group was limited in number; the real main event has yet to begin.

He also noticed the discussions on the world channel and was equally interested in the upcoming arrival of the Evil God Faction.

Both their rapid level-up methods and the unusual energy surrounding them made him want to investigate further.

He did not completely deny the existence of the Evil God —since both Demon Race and God Race have appeared in the world, perhaps some players have indeed found traces of the Evil God.

As the team approached, the Yaksha, possessing the Sunshine, also sensed the bloodline fluctuations belonging to Lan Yue within the Deep-Sea Dragon Palace.

High-level beings can sense each other through their bloodline aura. As a third-level being, the Yaksha can not only detect the "second-level Lan Yue" first, but also hide himself from being discovered by the other party.

It was a second-tier being... I never imagined there were second-tier life forms capable of moving freely.

The moment he sensed Lan Yue, Yaksha immediately concealed his aura.

If he can devour this second-tier creature, his recovery speed will definitely increase significantly!

The instinct to prey on inferior life surged and boiled within him.

As third-tier beings, the Yaksha Clan is born with the ability to devour and assimilate other races. They can not only take lower-level life forms as slaves, but also absorb the life essence of others to nourish themselves.

The Yaksha thought to himself, "If it weren't for the bad luck of our clan encountering a fourth-order life form, how could we have suffered such a defeat?"

The Yaksha Race is among the best of the third-tier beings; how could they be reduced to competing for resources with such lowly beings!

"My Holy God One, that person ahead is Chongxing!"

As Sunshine and his group approached the shore, they spotted a figure standing on the beach— Zhang Mingzhen.

"Oh? They're just the most ordinary, lowly race. How boring."

Yaksha did not notice anything Special Tier about Zhang Mingzhen compared to other adventurers. The faint bloodline aura provided almost no power, not even as useful as the second-tier creature in the sea.

"Split into two teams, dive into the sea, find that thing, and deal with it."

"Bring your soul power back to me," Yaksha coldly ordered.

After occupying Tomb City, they successfully located the Holy Relic within the city based on clues from the occupying side.

Over the past two weeks, the Yaksha has completely devoured the energy contained within the Holy Relic.

That is why the Evil God Faction no longer stayed in the Tomb City —the city was no longer of any value to them.

The next target, naturally, is the Holy Relic in other territories.

This Undersea Dragon Palace was the only exception; it wasn't part of his original plan and seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

This is also why he decided to seize the Undersea Dragon Palace first.

He wanted to understand what had caused an additional city to appear out of nowhere in the existing territory.

Zhang Mingzhen had already seen the hundreds of thousands of Evil God Faction emerging at the end of his line of sight.

They could be identified solely by the unusual energy fluctuations emanating from them, which were completely different from those of ordinary human adventurers.

"Chongxing, this Undersea Dragon Palace City belongs to our Evil God Faction."

"If you know what's good for you, leave now." The leader, Sunshine, said contemptuously to him.

"How ridiculous, there are quite a few people who talk to me like that."

"Want to take this place? You'll have to defeat me first." Zhang Mingzhen scoffed. "I'm also eager to see where your power comes from, that you've risen to this level."

"How could you possibly fathom the wisdom of mortals, or the might of the Holy God One!"

"Do it!"

In an instant, spells and skills from all sorts of professions poured down on Zhang Mingzhen like a tidal wave.

He also noticed that another group of people were diving straight towards the Undersea Dragon Palace City.

However, seeing that there weren't many people, he wasn't overly concerned.

The Wildsea Candle Dragon and that Lan Yue are not easy opponents either.

"Form ranks!"

If they were just ordinary adventurers, they might not have been able to Chongxing.

However, the Evil God Faction had already surpassed the limits of ordinary adventurers by using the formations and techniques bestowed upon them by the Evil Gods.

They were absolutely confident of taking down the person in front of them!

Black mist surged from the bodies of numerous Evil God Faction, intertwining and merging together.

The inhuman aura emanating from them grew stronger, and when they gathered together, they seemed to become one.

Driven by Sunshine, a skill unlike anything found in human adventurers was suddenly activated.

"Shadow Soul Devour!"

The combined power of hundreds of thousands of people transformed into a surging black tide, rushing Zhang Mingzhen.

Zhang Mingzhen dared not be careless and take the attack head-on. As he retreated, he put on his Demon Armor again and activated his Demon Transformation power. He flashed away, trying to avoid the pursuing black aura.

However, this skill clearly has a lock-on effect, making it impossible to dodge.

Since that's the case, he didn't want to waste any more time. He immediately activated his armor and cast a continuous healing spell on himself, facing the devastating impact head-on.

"Critical hit!"

Unexpectedly, this group could pose a threat comparable to a max-level boss.

Against an ordinary opponent, he probably wouldn't last long.

But we must not allow them to maintain this formation.

Zhang Mingzhen used a series of control techniques, such as Eagle Strike, to disrupt the enemy's formation and break up their dense formation.

"Hmm?" The Yaksha, hidden within the Sunshine, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Logically, under the suppression of the Yaksha Clan's soul-devouring techniques, the adventurers of this world should have been completely crushed. Why then did they only suffer such limited damage?

What's even stranger is why this person is still able to stand up?

No wonder he's called the number one adventurer in this world; he certainly has some skills.

Yaksha speculated that this person's talent was likely in the defensive category.

Although this race is of a low Life Level and has almost no innate talents, under the blessing of the so-called "God's Domain," they are able to acquire all sorts of acquired talents, which can be regarded as a glimmer of hope left by the God's Domain for these lower races.

Otherwise, given their own limited resources, they might even struggle to grow.

By analyzing the talents of Sunshine and others, Yaksha has roughly understood the differences between adventurers.

Adventurers with superior skills can easily crush ordinary people.

However, limited by the insurmountable barrier of basic attributes, no matter how strong their talent, they could never contend with higher beings!

But how could humans be so powerful...?

Yaksha probably never imagined that there was a system in this world that granted extraordinary talents with cheat codes, enough to make Zhang Mingzhen's attributes and skill levels far superior to those of his own kind.

Such extraordinary abilities were unheard of even among the fourth-level God Race he knew.

"Keep going! I want to see how long he can hold out!" Yaksha once again gave the order to attack the Sunshine.

"Shadow Soul Devour" is a unique secret technique of the Yaksha Race. Although the subordinate Evil God Faction can barely use it, they must pay the price with their life force.

But Yaksha clearly didn't care about the losses suffered by his subordinates.

A new wave of attacks surged in like a tide. Zhang Mingzhen keenly noticed that the players belonging to the Evil God Faction collapsed and vanished into nothingness the moment he made his move, as if they were just disposable items.

Under his relentless attacks, the enemy formation before him shrank dramatically.

This self-destructive consumption intensified, and even the Sunshine and its companions clearly sensed their own decline.

"Holy God Lord! Continuing this fight will likely be futile! Chongxing is Priest; he can restore his health at any time!"

"As long as we can't deliver a fatal blow, he can recover to full health in an instant! How should we deal with this?"

Witnessing the stark disparity in strength between the two sides, Sunshine began to waver in his belief that he could defeat Chongxing.

"Incompetent fool!"

"No stopping! Order all fallen soldiers in the rear to return to reinforce at full speed!"

Even if we can't win, we must buy enough time for the other team!

Seeing that he could not make a breakthrough from this human, the Evil God turned his attention to the Level Two Lifeform in the deep sea.

In his view, no matter how strong Chongxing, he was still a low-level being, far less valuable to him than that creature in the deep sea!

At this moment, at the entrance to the dark Dragon Palace, the Wildsea Candle Dragon and Flower Spirit are fighting hard to resist the invasion of the Evil God Faction players.

Driven by the will of the Evil God, these invaders disregarded their own losses and charged forward relentlessly, fearless of death.

Although Territory War do not deprive players of experience, players have gradually discovered that as the number of deaths accumulates, the time required to resurrect gradually increases, and multiple deaths bring a deep sense of weakness, as if their energy and spirit have been drained.

Even more seriously, some players, after repeated deaths, not only experience memory loss in real life, but also suffer a significant decline in physical fitness.

That perfect physical state achieved through assimilation into the God's Domain would gradually fade away with each death.

Until experts have identified the root cause, the official stance is against players respawning without limit.

Therefore, even in Territory Wars, people will do their utmost to avoid death—in this era, losing power means losing one's foothold and dignity.

But players of the Evil God Faction clearly have no such concerns.

In their indoctrinated minds, the commands of the Evil God are above all else, including their own survival.

They were ordered to search for that special life form, capture it, and use the secret methods taught by the Evil God to extract its life force as a sacrifice to the Evil God.

This is their only mission at this moment.

The Evil God Faction's reinforcements kept pouring in, and with this almost insane tactic, a few actually managed to break through the defenses, approach the area where the core crystal was located, and find Lan Yue.

Lan Yue also sensed a strange aura emanating from these attackers:

That wasn't the kind of fluctuation that players in this world should have; rather, it seemed more like residual information from other races in the Myriad Races Arena after the fusion of the God's Domain.

Deep within her inherited memories are records of many advanced beings possessing dark attributes. They are adept at manipulating vassals and can strengthen themselves by plundering the life essence of other races.

Creatures possessing these qualities are often formidable powerhouses among the myriad races of the God's Domain.

"Who sent you here?" Lan Yue demanded sharply, but the players showed no intention of communicating, so she gave up on the idea of asking further.

My master is surely also fighting against that race's enemy up there. I'll ask him for advice later.

As Tide Clan, aquatic creatures have a natural affinity for the ocean.

In their homeland, the world is almost entirely covered by the ocean. From the moment they were born, they possessed the talent to master water, and many of their abilities are related to water.

Dealing with these inferior beings who have not yet reached their peak is a piece of cake for her.

Although she is still a minor, she is already proficient in using basic water magic.

Otherwise, Zhang Mingzhen would not have entrusted her with the important task of Protection the crystal.

She swung her arms, and ripples of torrents shot out, annihilating all the enemies before her.

Seeing that their companions who had infiltrated the Dragon Palace were nowhere to be found, Sunshine on the Water immediately realized that they had all been wiped out.

Unexpectedly, Chongxing received help in the deep sea!

Wasn't he always a loner?

"I didn't expect even a master like you would need help defending the city? I always thought you disdained associating with others."

He was unaware of the specific underwater defenses, only assuming that anything capable of withstanding an attack by tens of thousands of men must have been Chongxing with reinforcements from various sides, and his words were laced with sarcasm.

"Ha, there's no point in arguing with trash like you. Just remember, I am powerful enough."

"Now, we will send you to reunite with your companions."

The once formidable enemy force of hundreds of thousands had already been shattered by his attack, and the remaining members of Sunshine would follow in his footsteps and return to the resurrection array.

Just as he was about to deliver a fatal blow to the Sunshine, a sudden Mutation Tier occurred— the Sunshine's body underwent an unexpected transformation!

The Sunshine's originally strong physique suddenly swelled and grew taller, thick black hair sprouted from its skin, and fangs grew out of its mouth. In the blink of an eye, it completely lost its human form and transformed into a ferocious beast shrouded in shadow.
