Ling Yi revealed his own cheat, armed himself with a shop aura, and prepared to support Ye Tian as they continued their ordinary lives while awaiting the next game instance.

• Ye Tian explained that his standalone Player System had appeared after the main system was presumed destroyed, and that players forcibly occupied local bodies to enter game instances and could die for real.
