At that moment, Su Ye sat upon the Throne with a crown on his head, looking down upon the masses below like a true god.
[Ding! Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player "Never Checks the Fuel Gauge" for clearing the Ninth-Level Stairway with unmatched dominance, taking first place in the Crown of Kings event, and being crowned King!]*3
Three deafening system announcements rang out in succession, echoing not only throughout the challenge space but also across the skies of every zone on the server.
At that moment, it was not just the top players in the challenge space who heard them.
Across every zone on the server, billions of Fivefold Race players heard the announcement clearly.
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! What did I just hear? A server-wide announcement?"
"Never Checks the Fuel Gauge? Who's that? How come I've never heard that name before?"
"Crowned King? Didn't the King's Challenge only start a few days ago? Someone's already cleared it?"
"Holy shit, I'm struggling just to kill the monsters on the first level, and this legend cleared the whole thing?"
"Anyone know which zone Never Checks the Fuel Gauge is from? We want to ride his coattails!"
"He's definitely the number one player in our entire Fivefold Race!"
The top ten players on the Rankings gazed at the golden announcement lingering in the sky, their faces filled with bitterness and mixed emotions.
They had thought they already stood at the very peak of the Survival Game's pyramid.
But now, compared to Never Checks the Fuel Gauge, the strength they took such pride in seemed like nothing more than a joke.
Meanwhile, in the C13 Zone.
Ling Yue, Yan Kuang, and the other players had gathered together, watching Su Ye being crowned King in the sky with complicated expressions.
