Bai Ye watched the White Empire unveil a spectacular star-made portrait for his birthday, then learned the celebration would include an Avengers 4 play he had already seen several times. Meanwhile, Captain Marvel mistook the relocated Audra Civilization’s former home for evidence that the White Empire had destroyed it and raced toward Earth for answers.

Their mission was to rank among the top ten players of the upcoming game Shrouding the Heavens, and Bai Ye recognized the setting but knew little about its plot.

• Three days later, Bai Ye entered Shrouding the Heavens as soon as it went on sale, and his panel fluctuated as the game’s rules tried to suppress his strength.

Bai Ye and the first hundred players entered the Shrouding the Heavens Game near Mount Tai, where the game’s suppression clashed with Bai Ye’s panel and inadvertently increased his strength. With the Nine Dragons Coffin due to arrive in half an hour, players began restoring their power amid chaos at the mountain’s foot.

• The game and Bai Ye’s panel repeatedly suppressed and raised his attributes until he used Self-limitation, permanently gaining a small increase before the game arranged the players’ deployment.

• Some players tried to recover through meditation, while more than a dozen absorbed the blood energy of tourists and caused a deadly disturbance.
• A middle-aged player with the foundation of a Dou Emperor rapidly regained cultivation, as players across Mount Tai gathered Earth’s scarce energy into visible seven-colored clouds.

Bai Ye and the nine players looted the Great Thunderclap Temple, but their destruction of it triggered the end of the sandstorm barrier and drew swarms of strange crocodiles.

• Thousands of crocodiles gathered around the players, who prepared to attack them for their blood energy and life essence.
• Bai Ye sensed the Great Sage-level Crocodile Ancestor, which had broken free of its seal, locking onto him.

• The Bronze Ancient Coffin landed on the Big Dipper Star, and Bai Ye welcomed the group to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land Station as the players’ internal energy stagnated.

Bai Ye stayed behind with Ye Fan and Pang Bo in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to find the Undying Elixir, then led them out after they ate its fruits and drank from the Divine Spring. The tourists began suffering the forbidden land’s effects after leaving, while Bai Ye emerged younger than before and wondered if they had left too early.

• Bai Ye realized the Undying Elixirs had made his body younger and more powerful, while his face remained unchanged.
