Server shutdown for an update

[Abyss Blood War rankings are now fixed; Blood War Points conversion has begun!]
[The points mall now has an update feature.]
[All side quests are retained.]
[The entire Astral Realm map is now open for players to explore freely (exploration is not recommended for players below the Legendary Realm)]
[The sixth phase of the main quest is about to begin; please prepare accordingly.]
[Astral Realm: The Feland World is about to undergo its first maintenance update.]

The Game System's announcement caused an uproar among all players!
This game has been running for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen it updated.
The major media outlets, social networking sites, and video websites across the Blue Star were in an uproar!
"What's going on? Server downtime for maintenance?!"
"The Feland World was running perfectly fine, and I never encountered any bugs. Everything felt like a real world. Why is it suddenly going to be shut down for updates?"
"Yes, and the sixth phase of the main quest is about to begin."
"Is the server shutdown for maintenance just to adapt to the sixth phase of the main storyline?"
"What will happen to our factions in the game? Will the game continue after we leave?"
"Of course I can! I don't know if you guys feel it, but in my heart, this is a real world!"
"You old rascal, you didn't actually get married in a video game, did you?!"
"Saying anything is useless. Just log off and wait for the server to reopen. It's only ten days anyway."
Most players were prepared to log off obediently, but there were always a few mavericks.
Little Tomato Live Streaming Platform.
A game streamer nicknamed "Always Eating Dust" showed off a huge nutrient tank he bought and his cute little girlfriend during his live stream!
"Brothers, I've already bought a nutrition capsule. It's all-inclusive, covering everything from eating and drinking to using the toilet. My girlfriend will also take care of me the whole time."
"I've decided not to log off. I'll stay in the game and show my brothers what the game world will be like after the servers shut down!"
"Brothers, if you think what Old Dust is doing is awesome, then give Old Dust's live stream a few likes and send him a few stars."
"I would also appreciate it if wealthy bosses could send me a gift; that would be the greatest encouragement for me!"
"Old Dust, what a great sacrifice! I have no way to repay you, so I'll give you this 'powered by love' gift!"
"Old Dust, this 'love letter' is for you. Secretly send me your girlfriend's contact information. If anything happens to you, as family, I have an obligation to take care of her!"
His face darkened as he said, "Always Eating Dust."
Besides him, many other game streamers are also planning to stay online to experience what it feels like when the game servers are down.
At the Paradise Mountain.
On the Platinum Holy Throne
Jiang Yuu frowned and pondered as she looked at the announcement issued by the game.
"Game server downtime for maintenance?"
"It's only been a few decades."
"It seems that the Feland World is finally going to merge with the Blue Star World."
"It's better to be faster."
"However, I don't know what impact the server shutdown and game merging will have on the connection between my two bodies."
If you have to choose.
He'll definitely stay on Paradise Mountain, meaning he won't log off. After all, with the game update, the time progression will definitely be adjusted to be consistent.
At that time, only ten days will have passed on Blue Star, but countless days will have passed in the Feland World.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Original Universe.
The edge of the Solar System.
On an icy asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, Jiang Yuu, who had been frozen in ice, opened her eyes.
He looked at the deep, dark universe before him and smiled slightly, then raised his hand and pinched the asteroid beneath him.
An ice coffin appeared before him. After inscribing several concealment arrays on it, he thought for a moment, threw the long sword in his hand toward Sky Sea City on Blue Star, in the direction of Jiang Weiyang, and then lay down inside.
With his current Demigod- like physical abilities, staying in deep space for ten days would have no effect.
However, his strength is mainly manifested through his great will. If he stops using the skill and his consciousness leaves his body, it would be better to hide it in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
At the same time, he sent an Angel Lower Realm to inform Jiang Weiyang not to stay in the game world.
If the Game System tells you to log off, then log off; don't argue with the system.
Three days later.
In the entire Feland World, apart from a few players with some ideas who are still in the game world, all other players have logged off.
When the time came, both online and offline players heard a tremendous creaking sound that echoed throughout the world, as if someone had forcefully pushed open a door!
Then, a voice as cold and indifferent as a machine rang in their ears.
[Game maintenance begins!]
[Countdown: 10 days!]
The players on Blue Star are doing well.
In the Feland World.
Players who had deliberately lingered suddenly discovered that the "Logout" button had disappeared from their game panel.
Furthermore, aside from being able to view character Attributes on the game panel, all function keys on the game panel have turned gray, including the most crucial "respawn point" setting.
The players who remained in the game were instantly overwhelmed.
This means they can no longer be resurrected after dying in the game.
A player still in the Abyss Blood War Field looked at the dense, tireless army of Demon charging towards him and felt the fear of death for the first time!
On Paradise Mountain.
Jiang Yuu looked at the gray game panel and felt a pang of nostalgia. This useless panel that had been with him for ten thousand years was back.
However, he looked in the direction of Feland, feeling the connection in the darkness, and sighed.
"As expected, we can't contact the body on Blue Star."
Original Universe.
The edge of the Solar System.
"Jiang Yuu" on the icy asteroid suddenly went silent.
Blue Star.
Inside an apartment in Sky Sea City.
Li Jingchen took off his gaming helmet, recalled the game announcement, and smiled slightly.
"Finally, we're back to the familiar storyline."
"After this maintenance update, the game world will be merged with the Blue Star World."
"As for those players who don't log off, they might not know that ten days in the real world can be countless years in the game world."
"The main quest for the sixth phase is unlikely to change much; it will still be related to Blue Star."
"The crisis that will engulf the entire Blue Star will begin after the game update."
He then went online and looked at various social media platforms, where he saw messages from people who deliberately stayed in the game, and shook his head.
"Jiang Weiyang's brother became a vegetable on the eve of the tragedy. And you, from the moment you refused to log off, you were already a vegetable."
"A bunch of hopeless speculators."
Within the Milky Way, outside the Solar System.
At the center of a massive interstellar fleet, inside an antenna structure atop a colossal Clock Celestial Body.
A woman from the Three-Eyed Race, wearing a white coat, stood up and shouted loudly.
"Reporting, High Commander, the hyperspace anomaly is right ahead of us."
How much longer?
"It will arrive in a few days!"
"Alright, notify everyone to prepare for exile!"
"Yes!"
