Not You Dead, Then Me Dead

As soon as the rule was written down, Li Wei knew that it was a reasonable rule. After all, the rule did not weaken anyone and was absolutely fair. He was not allowed to attack the other party, and the other party could not attack him. It was absolutely reasonable.

Although the penalty for violating this rule is not explicitly stated, the default punishment in the Rule Codex is annihilation.

Even the Main God Mordor must be bound by rules.

At the same time, once the rules take effect, everyone mentioned in the rules will receive a notification about them.

"Within the current scenario, you cannot attack Li Wei (Mordor), and the two cannot attack each other. Anyone who violates the rules will be eliminated."

The notification rang in the ears of both Li Wei and the Main God Mordor at the same time. A slight smile appeared on Li Wei's lips, while the Main God's expression was not so pleasant.

Sensing the murderous aura behind him, Li Wei calmly turned around, smiled at the ferocious-looking Main God, and then waved the fragment of the codex in his hand, saying, "This thing, is this what's called the power of rules? It's truly amazing. I believe you heard the prompt just now. So, am I safe now? Don't even think about trying to take my body. Oh, by the way, I'm really sorry for damaging your vampire body earlier, leaving you to continue being a wandering ghost..."

Although he apologized verbally, Li Wei's expression was extremely sly and obnoxious. Even the most well-mannered person would be driven mad by his expression.

That's right, Li Wei deliberately said those words and made that expression, his purpose being to provoke the Main God. If the other party became enraged and attacked him, that would be perfect.

Of course, Li Wei didn't believe that the Main God was so easy to deal with; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have been able to single-handedly bring down both the Head Monster and the King of the Pluto King back then.

As expected, although the Main God was extremely angry, he showed no intention of taking action.

"Boy, don't waste your energy. Since you've set these rules, if I break them, I'll be asking for trouble... You should know that the Rule Codex has been in my hands for many years, and I know it much better than you do... Yes, I can't do anything to you for now, but rules don't last forever. And when this rule expires, I'll show you what true fear is..."

After a pause, Moldo suddenly revealed a sinister smile, "Although I can't do anything to you for now, don't forget, your companions on Earth Star aren't protected by the rules, hehe... When the time comes, I wouldn't mind if you went to witness their deaths..."

Li Wei's face froze for a moment, then he let out a long laugh.

"What? Are you trying to hide your inner fear with laughter?" The Main God Mordor asked, confused by Li Wei's words.

At this moment, Pluto King had caught up. He thought Li Wei was doomed, but to his surprise, Mordor didn't make a move. Not only did they not fight, but the two chatted and laughed like old friends who had known each other for many years.

"What's going on?" Pluto King didn't intend to waste any time, but turned around and controlled the remaining Nether Ghost to help the Head Monster fight the 'Mirror Image Legion'.

In any case, Li Wei's life or death was no longer important at this point.

Looking at Li Wei again, he was still smiling, but "a forced smile" would be a more fitting description of his expression at that moment.

"Have you laughed enough?" The calm expression on the face of the Main God Mordor finally vanished, and he suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Li Wei finally stopped laughing, staring at Mordor opposite him, and said in a deep voice, "My Main God, how can I not laugh when you are so naive?"

After a pause, Li Wei continued, "Now that we've come to this point, it's naturally a fight to the death. Yet you still naively use me and my companions to attack me. It's utterly laughable. Let me tell you the truth, from the moment I decided to take action against you, I already decided on one thing... that is to become your sworn enemy. Only if you die can I live."

Mordor finally realized what was wrong. Now that he thought about it, from the moment he ambushed Mordor, Mordor had been determined to completely break off relations. Therefore, Mordor's previous threats had been completely ineffective.

Li Wei sneered, then made a sword gesture, actually unleashing the 'Ten Thousand Swords Art'.

"What is he trying to do?" Mordor was taken aback. According to the rules, they were not allowed to attack each other; otherwise, they would surely die.

He quickly realized what Li Wei was up to.

He was fearless and swaggered over to the Head Monster, beginning to assist Pluto King in attacking the 'Mirror Image Legion'. With his addition, along with Pluto King and the Head Monster, the twelve Mirror Image Prison-Suppressing Ming King were quickly defeated one by one and vanished without a trace.

The freed- Head Monster roared and charged at the Main God Mordor together with Pluto King.

They had just heard about the new rules from Li Wei. Although they had the idea of getting the fragments of the Rule Codex back, based on their understanding of Li Wei, once something good fell into his hands, it would be extremely difficult to get it back.

Furthermore, due to the 'no mutual attack' rule established by Li Wei, Mordor was severely restricted in a certain sense.

Because as long as Li Wei is around, Mordor cannot unleash large-scale (forbidden) spells. Otherwise, if Li Wei is affected by the magic, Mordor will be considered to have violated the rules and will be eliminated.

Clearly, Li Wei's rule was very cleverly formulated. If it were simply a rule like "no one is allowed to use magic," it would definitely not pass because it would be unreasonable. After all, some people do not know magic, so this rule would be very unfair to those who do.

Restricting two people from attacking each other would be much fairer, but although magic isn't mentioned in the rules, it truly restricts the Main God.

Li Wei knew this, Pluto King and the Head Monster knew this, and the Main God Mordor naturally knew it as well.

Unable to unleash the (forbidden) spell, he could only manage a draw against the combined attacks of the two Star King-level experts, Pluto King and the Head Monster. Furthermore, the influence of the Time Power on Star King-level experts was significantly weakened.

For a time, the battle reached a stalemate.

"Continuing the fight will be disadvantageous for me," the Main God Mordor quickly realized, and thus he conceived the idea of a temporary retreat.

But soon, a notification sound nearly made him faint with anger.

"No one is allowed to leave the Blood Clan Star Domain within three days. Anyone who violates this rule will be eliminated."

This is a very fair and reasonable rule, and it will be enforced once it is written down in the Rule Codex.

Without a doubt, these are rules written by Li Wei again.

In fact, Li Wei wanted to extend the time even further, but after several attempts, he discovered that three days was the longest he could write.

Three days is fine, it's better than nothing.

For three days, the Main God and Li Wei could not attack each other, and no one could leave the Blood Clan Star Domain, thus creating a very peculiar situation.

No one can run away; even if they can't win, they have to fight.

The Main God Mordor had roamed the various star systems for years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a thorny situation. He wanted to release a forbidden spell to deal with these people, but that despicable Li Wei kept appearing in front of him. In order to avoid hurting the other party, he could not release the forbidden spell recklessly.

Without the (forbidden) curse, the Main God's strength was only on par with Pluto King and the Head Monster. These two guys had no scruples and used lethal force.

He wanted to leave, but he couldn't. The Main God Mordor had never felt so frustrated. It was like being given a strong drug, then having a beautiful woman lying unconscious next to you, only to be told by a burly man that you weren't allowed to touch her or he would kill you.

Of course, he also considered using their own methods against them, taking out the Rule Codex and formulating rules that would benefit him, but whenever he tried to do so, Pluto King and the other man would desperately stop him, which made the Main God's anger grow stronger and stronger.

Li Wei, Pluto King, and the Head Monster were overjoyed. Opportunities to drive Main God to such a state were rare, and now that they had encountered one, they were ready to ruthlessly defeat him. In an instant, they unleashed all sorts of supernatural abilities and techniques, leaving the area within several kilometers in ruins.

As for the natives and vampires, they all stayed at home, afraid to go out. The Star Emperor-level pressure from the Main God Mordor, and the Star King-level pressure from Pluto King and the Head Monster, made them tremble all over. Even the vampire royalty huddled in the underground passage of the palace, trembling with fear.

"My lords, who exactly are those people outside? If we let them continue fighting like this, our entire Blood Clan Star Domain will be destroyed," a high-ranking vampire whispered to the members of the Supreme Council hiding in the palace tunnel. His voice trembled noticeably and was filled with fear.

The speaker and members of parliament, usually so imposing, were now cowering, their eyes filled with fear. Hearing the vampire's words, one member said helplessly, "Perhaps Prince Phillips knows something, but we don't know where he is right now. If he were here, perhaps he could protect us."

All the vampires remained silent.

"Perhaps I can give you a suggestion." At this moment, a female voice suddenly rang out from among the vampires in the shelter, attracting everyone's attention almost instantly.

"Who goes there?" Several high-ranking vampires immediately straightened their faces. Although they were currently in dire straits, class consciousness was deeply ingrained in vampire thinking. Nobles and high-ranking vampires disliked being interrupted when they were talking.

All eyes were fixed on a young girl. She was dressed in standard vampire attire, with brown hair and eyes, exuding a noble air. When everyone saw her clearly and smelled the scent of blood emanating from her, they all showed expressions of astonishment.

Without a doubt, this is a vampire, and a vampire with a very pure bloodline.

Bloodline is the standard by which a vampire is judged as noble, and the longer the history and lineage, the more noble the bloodline. Just like those vampires who have just received the Embrace, their bloodline comes from other vampires, and to them, they are simply descendants.

Corresponding to those vampires who receive the Embrace are those who are born with the genetic lineage; they are the true nobility. Any other vampire can distinguish, through their keen sense of smell, who received the Embrace and who was born with it. The girl who just spoke undoubtedly belongs to the latter. Moreover, her bloodline is purer and more ancient, even surpassing that of the most noble council speaker present.

With this understanding, all the vampires showed respect. Even the nobles categorized the girl as belonging to their class, even though none of them knew her personally.

"Beautiful lady, you are a true noblewoman. You just said you have a way to resolve the troubles our vampire clan is facing?" The council chairman gave the girl a standard noble greeting, which involved kissing the back of her hand, and then asked with a smile, like a gentleman who had received a noble education.

"Yes, Speaker of the Council, we have encountered a very big problem today. If we do not handle it carefully, it will lead to very serious consequences, and may even cause our vampire clan to decline..." The girl's voice was gentle and pleasant, and exceptionally lively. In particular, she spoke slowly and calmly. If she was not a noble, then the entire vampire clan would probably have no nobles.

"Indeed, those three powerful figures outside have turned our Blood Clan Star Domain into their battlefield. Countless compatriots have died in their battles, including many long-established families," the council chairman agreed with the girl's words.

"Therefore, we must act quickly..." Before the girl could finish speaking, a person stood up from behind the council speaker and interrupted her.

"Honorable lady, please forgive my impertinence, but which family do you belong to? I have lived in the royal city for a long time, yet I have never seen you before." The man who spoke had a sarcastic and mean expression, and his triangular eyes flashed with a hint of evil as he stared at the girl.

The girl glanced at the man, a slight smile appearing on her face. She casually recounted the information she had already obtained. "Your Highness, I come from a small family and rarely venture out, so it's normal that you haven't seen me before. But as a member of the vampire clan, I reiterate: we must take action as soon as possible to save our race."

It turns out that this sharp-tongued, triangular-eyed man is the second prince of the vampire clan.

With a simple sentence, she diverted the other party's question, leaving no room for error. Sure enough, the vampires were all carefully considering their countermeasures, and no one cared about the girl's identity anymore.

Only the second prince remained undeterred. He didn't mean anything by it; he simply found it unbelievable that such a beautiful and noble-blooded girl had gone undiscovered in the royal city. With an innate and intense desire for women, he swallowed hard, wanting to continue trying to extract information from the girl, but the council chairman beat him to it and asked the question first.

"My noble lady, do you have any good ideas? Didn't you just say you had a good suggestion?"

Glancing at the anxious council speaker, the girl felt a sense of relief, but deliberately feigned deep thought before saying, "We must stop those three experts outside from fighting."

"What you say is absolutely right, Miss. I know that, but I have no good solution. Each of those three people outside has the strength to surpass level 9. How easy is it to get them to stop?" The council chairman thought that this was the suggestion the girl had given, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The girl seemed to have anticipated this possibility, but quickly replied, "I have a solution, but it requires the concerted efforts of our vampire clan."

Immediately, all the vampires focused their attention on her.

It's truly unbelievable that such a beautiful young lady like Xiao Jin claims to have a way to resolve the current crisis facing the entire vampire clan.

Judging from her expression, she didn't seem to be joking.

"Miss, please feel free to share any good ideas you have. If we discuss and agree on them, then we will implement them as you suggest, how about that?" The council speaker thought for a moment and then spoke up.

The girl nodded, and then slowly began to explain her plan.

"Those three masters are locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand. If we continue to wait, it will inevitably lead to serious consequences. Therefore, we must make them stop..."

"What you say is true, but how do we do it?"

"If we try to persuade them, the three experts will definitely not listen to us. On the contrary, if we help the expert who has the advantage to eliminate the other side, wouldn't the problem be solved? Not only that, we might even be able to get some benefits from that expert," the girl said slowly, which made the group of vampires very excited.

Yes, since they are all strangers, helping one family defeat the other will surely reward the vampires handsomely.

Upon realizing this, they all suddenly understood. Who would have thought that the problem could be solved so simply?

However, the vampires soon found themselves in another predicament.

Which side should we help?

The Speaker's mood soured again. This problem, though seemingly simple, was actually quite difficult; a wrong choice would have extremely serious consequences. His concern was that if the side he helped ultimately failed, the victor would undoubtedly retaliate against the vampires. Given the enemy's overwhelming power, it wasn't impossible for the Blood Clan Star Domain to vanish from the rest of the star systems.

"I suggest we help those two experts team up. After all, they have more people and are very strong. No matter what, two people are always better than one, right?" The girl's voice seemed calm and unhurried, but she still had a subconscious nervousness as she spoke.

However, her nervousness was completely unnecessary.

"Miss, you're right. Then let's go support those two experts." The council speaker made up his mind and hurriedly began to gather his subordinates and high-ranking vampires to discuss the matter.

Seeing all this, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
