The Tyrant Exalted Emperor's figure suddenly swelled dozens of times, overflowing the phone screen and occupying the entire crystal base. The Tyrant Overlord formed from his teammates and opponents beneath his feet appeared as insignificant and lowly as ants.

The text chat interface is scrolling rapidly.

Angela:?

Xuance: Holy crap? Erlang, we're both Dark Tyrant, how come you're so much older than me?

Di Renjie: My God, is that Titan Giant Ape?

Sang Qi: glug, it's huge!

The viewers in the live stream were deeply moved.

"Holy crap! The child is crying."

"Holy crap, the Tyrant Exalted Emperor is dominating the screen, is this scientific? Is this reasonable?"

"Taikunba is so cool! This is true Dharma Heaven and Earth! How did you do that? Boss Exalted Emperor, I want to learn, please teach me."

Su Hang smiled and explained, "It's very simple. Just time Erlang's passive skill to 90 stacks, then use the Illusion skill to transform into Tyrant or Overlord, actively absorb enemy damage, and trigger the passive Dharma Heaven and Earth' to achieve the desired effect."

The viewers in the live stream suddenly realized what was going on.

"No way, I want to play Erlang in the Infinite Brawl."

Millions of viewers started playing King of Glory.

"As expected of the Exalted Emperor, it's one thing to develop various heroes' Immortal Technique Maneuver, but to even invent new ways to play for fun, I really want to crack open his skull and see what's inside."

The game has been going on for 13 minutes.

The colossal Tyrant Exalted Emperor, leading his teammates, destroyed the enemy's crystal in one fell swoop, ending the game.

"Brothers, that's all for tonight's stream. Everyone go try out Erlang in the Infinite Brawl and give it a shot. See you next time!"

Su Hang waved goodbye to millions of netizens and clicked to end the broadcast.

A short while later, Zhou Keyu sent a private message from the game.

Xiang Yang: 666, your final transformation into a giant really startled me. For some reason, I thought of the classic line from the retreating dwarves, "That day, people remembered the fear of being dominated by giants."

Imperial Emperor: It's alright.

Xiang Yang: Do you have time now?

Imperial Emperor: Yes.

Xiang Yang: I'm in Jiangcheng. How about we meet up tonight and chat?

Su Hang looked suspicious. In his memory, Zhou Keyu lived in Chengdu, Sichuan. How did he end up in their Jiangcheng?

Imperial Emperor: Okay, send me the location.

Xiang Yang: Add me on WeChat: daling521.

Imperial Emperor: Okay.

Su Hang switched to WeChat and added Zhou Keyu WeChat a friend. This guy was always cautious, so his initiative to meet meant he must have made a significant discovery.

A short while later.

Xiang Yang sent a location share.

Su Hang clicked to enter, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Me?"

The moon is bright and the stars are few; Jiangcheng Huating Residential Complex.

Su Hang walked out of his house with a gloomy face, then went to the next room, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open. The handsome young man with glasses on the living room sofa stood up as well.

Su Hang's eyes were full of vigilance. "Renting a place next to mine, Zhou Keyu, what are you trying to do?"

"Please sit down, I'll explain later." Zhou Keyu opened the refrigerator door, tilted his head, and asked, " Coca-Cola or Pepsi-Cola?"

Su Hang sat down on the sofa and said, " Coca-Cola."

Only Pepsi-Cola.

Su Hang's lips twitched. "You're asking me unnecessary questions."

Zhou Keyu took out Pepsi-Cola and smiled, "Don't you want to know why my family only has Pepsi-Cola and no Coca-Cola?"

Su Hang took the Pepsi-Cola: "How would I know?"

Zhou Keyu sat down opposite Su Hang and unscrewed the bottle cap. "Because Coca-Cola terminated its sponsorship contract with the Imperial Crown Team."

Su Hang was slightly taken aback.

It's worth noting that Coca-Cola sponsored the Imperial Crown Team for nine years; how could they possibly terminate the partnership agreement on their own initiative?

"Why?"

Zhou Keyu took a sip of his bottled cola. "You should know better than I do."

Su Hang stared intently at Zhou Keyu, silently counting to exactly six seconds. He then gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed admiringly, "Amazing! No wonder you're a child prodigy who can finish a bottle of cola in six seconds. I'm completely outmatched."

"Puff--"

Zhou Keyu spat out his cola, his tense expression instantly turning into a black line on his face, utterly exasperated. "It's supposed to be 6 seconds to get into character, you idiot! Why do you always use your competitive spirit in weird ways? I'm asking you a question!"

"Oh oh."

Su Hang nodded and said, "Compared to the Imperial Crown Team, Coca-Cola is more optimistic about the development prospects of the Sovereign Dominion Team, so it canceled its long-term cooperation with the Imperial Crown Team and instead invested in and sponsored the Sovereign Dominion Team."

Zhou Keyu pulled out a tissue to wipe his glasses. "It's not just Coca-Cola; other brands that had long-term partnerships with Imperial Crown have terminated their collaborations in the past two days."

"I see."

Su Hang frowned. Although he had completely withdrawn from the management of Imperial Crown eight years ago and become a hands-off manager, he still knew some basic information about Imperial Crown, such as the fact that the Imperial Crown Team's income was highly dependent on brand sponsorships.

"Did you know?" Zhou Keyu said with newfound respect, "Your feat of live-streaming the cross-border rescue of the Whale Overlord, Liuli, has been hailed by industry insiders as the greatest marketing operation in the history of King of Glory."

"Your Exalted Emperor team, including the Sovereign Dominion Team, surpasses Imperial Emperor and Imperial Crown Team in every aspect, including popularity, traffic, influence, and appeal, becoming the new darling of capital."

"I know." Su Hang nodded, which gave him a glimpse into the situation from the hundreds of brands applying for long-term cooperation with Sovereign Dominion through Douyin's backend.

"Capital is abandoning Imperial Crown and gravitating entirely towards Sovereign Dominion," Zhou Keyu said in a deep voice. "Do you know what this means?"

Su Hang calmly replied, "It means that Sovereign Dominion will take the Imperial Crown and become the team with the most brand value in the King of Glory circle."

Zhou Keyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I can't figure out what you're thinking. You are both the Imperial Emperor and the Exalted Emperor, the nominal controller of the Imperial Crown and the actual controller of the Sovereign Dominion. Which team do you really want to become the number one team in the King of Glory?"

Su Hang took a sip of Pepsi Sugar-Free and immediately frowned. "Pepsi Sugar-Free is rich and sweet, but Pepsi Sugar-Free is cloyingly sweet with a sour aftertaste. Is the difference really that big?"

Zhou Keyu didn't answer directly, but instead said, "After terminating the cooperation with Coca-Cola, the top Imperial Crown immediately approached Pepsi-Cola and started a cooperation with them. Now, the entire team is only allowed to drink Pepsi-Cola."

Su Hang put down the Pepsi Zero Sugar, "I still prefer Coca-Cola."

"Is this your answer?" Zhou Keyu asked intently, "To make Sovereign Dominion the number one team in the King of Glory tournament."

"I don't know how far you've come in investigating the culprit who bewitched the Silver Dragon, but the Imperial Crown is currently facing serious problems and is showing signs of returning to the old path of the Hundred Demons Team."

Su Hang crossed his arms and pondered, "If Imperial Crown can still be saved, then I absolutely hope that Imperial Crown will continue to hold the throne of the number one team in the King of Glory. But if Imperial Crown cannot be saved, then I will personally lead Sovereign Dominion to destroy Imperial Crown."

Zhou Keyu sighed softly, "I knew this would be the answer."

Su Hang asked, "So, how far has the investigation progressed?"

Zhou Keyu stood up and said, "The covert investigation is over."

Su Hang asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Keyu returned to the bedroom, bringing out two movable blackboards. "Not only have I uncovered the true culprit who instigated Silver Dragon to seize power back then, but I've also investigated the real identities of the core members of Imperial Crown."

Su Hang's pupils dilated in shock. "What?"
