On the cliff.
A massive influx of the rules of heaven and earth rushed into Lin An's body. Lin An steadied his mind and guided these rules of heaven and earth to gather within his body.
Then it suddenly charged towards that barrier.
"Boom!"
A deep, muffled roar resounded, as if the entire Land of Rules trembled.
Under the impact of this force, the barrier trembled slightly, and a tiny crack appeared on it.
"Good, another step forward."
Lin An was satisfied.
He has been in the Land of Rules for a month now. During this month, he has been constantly manipulating the rules of heaven and earth, attempting to break through the barrier.
The barrier is now covered with fine marks, numbering in the hundreds.
The barrier was like a candle flickering in the wind, seemingly about to shatter at any moment.
"It'll be soon. I estimate that in another half month, I'll be able to completely break through the barrier and break through to the Sovereign Realm."
Lin An thought for a moment, then glanced around. The Spirit-Devouring Ring and the Condemnation were still patrolling the island, and the hundred Mythic Rank puppets were scattered in different places.
"Hmm? Those thirty puppets have actually reached the King Rank."
Lin An looked surprised. Among these hundred puppets, the thirty mutated puppets had now reached the King Rank from the Mythic Rank.
Although the remaining seventy Mythic Rank puppets had not reached the King Rank, their auras were much stronger than before.
"This Land of Rules is truly a treasure trove. These puppets don't even need to cultivate themselves; they can automatically advance simply by immersing themselves in the rules of heaven and earth."
Lin An thought to himself, and at the same time became even more curious about the existence of this Land of Rules of Land of Rules, wondering how it was formed.
Without further thought, Lin An entered meditation again, mobilizing the surrounding laws of heaven and earth to continue his assault on the barrier of the Sovereign Realm.
Time continued to pass, and September arrived quickly.
"It's already September! That means this game has been running for a year now."
"What's wrong with the game's official team? It's been a year since the server opened, aren't they going to have a first-anniversary celebration? I'm not afraid of spending money, I'm just worried about not having anywhere to recharge."
"Forget about it. The game's official team is practically dead; they don't update the game or launch any events."
"There are still events going on. I participated in a Sin Beast Siege Event before and got quite a few good items."
"Although the game's official production quality isn't great, I have to say this game is incredibly realistic. The NPC girl I married in the game even gave birth to my son a couple of days ago."
"Holy crap, you guys are moving so fast? I've been so busy cultivating, I haven't even had a chance to experience this yet."
"Realistic? Do you even know what realism means? This game is unparalleled in that respect. As long as you're strong enough, you can have as many NPC girls as you want, and you don't even need to pay a dowry."
"I wish this game were real."
"..."
September has arrived, and those on the leaderboard are busy claiming their rewards, while those not on the leaderboard are chatting idly in the chat channel.
A year may seem like a short time, but it is indeed very short.
However, players are becoming increasingly dependent on games, with many abandoning real life and spending every day immersed in games.
Of course, a year has passed, and the terrifying nature of players as the fourth calamity has become apparent.
Many city lords in the lower cities are not very strong themselves, like Lin Xiao, who was only at the Gold Realm at the time.
When players reach the Gold Realm, they are no longer content with the status quo.
The thought arose in my mind, "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"
Especially those players backed by capital have joined forces to conquer cities and become city lords themselves.
Although the player's combat power is not particularly strong, the player can revive and wear down the original city lord.
Especially if a player has lived in the city for a year and knows the situation inside the city like the back of their hand, it will be much easier to occupy the city.
There was no instance of players teaming up to attack and capture Shenglin City.
Simply because...
Shenglin City's overall strength is too great.
Leaving aside Lin Xiao, who has now reached the Legendary Realm, Ji Yuan and others, who have already reached the Platinum Realm, are enough to suppress these players.
"It's been almost two months, what do you think Boss Lin An has been doing?"
"Is that even a question? He's definitely busy breaking through to the Sovereign Realm. But it seems that breaking through to the Sovereign Realm isn't easy. This guy's been cheating for so long without breaking through; we might take even longer."
"Actually, I've always suspected that this Lin An isn't an official beta tester account from the game. I feel like he might have entered the game a while before us."
"You don't need to doubt it. Actually, there are many speculations about Lin An online. Some say he has an internal beta account, others say he's cheating, and of course, there are suspicions that he entered the game first. But these are just suspicions. The truth will only be known after we find Lin An."
"We don't know where Lin An is. He only appears during server-wide announcements, letting us know his whereabouts."
Are there no real-life experts who have unboxed Lin An's content?
"I reckon he definitely exists. It's said that this game is attracting attention from countries all over the world, but there's been no news about Lin An yet. Either he can't be found, or he's already been taken over by the government."
"The latter is more likely. Once the state apparatus is in operation, how could it not find someone?"
"Sigh, let's not chat anymore. I should focus on my cultivation and become a strong person as soon as possible. Then I can easily join any group and earn a million a year."
"..."
Just as all the players were having a heated discussion, a voice from the game system suddenly rang out.
All the players initially thought it was another server-wide announcement from Lin An, but it turned out not to be.
[Server-wide notification: The two realms will be connected in three days, at which time the world-class event of the Sin Beast Invasion will begin.]
Once the event begins, all players will be unable to log in to the game, and their in-game strength and items will be directly synchronized with the real world.
The attribute panel and game mechanics will remain. In the real world, players can still access their attribute panel and continue to acquire attribute points by hunting Sin Beast.
The duration of this Sin Beast Invasion (World-Class) event will be unlimited. During the event, defeating Sin Beast will earn you event points, which can be used to redeem various items in the event shop.
When the event starts, the event shop will also open simultaneously, allowing players to redeem items in real time.
Please cherish the remaining three days in the game. After three days, the two worlds will be connected, and players who die in the real world will no longer have the ability to resurrect.
This is a life-or-death struggle. The only thing you can do is try your best to survive and become stronger!
An extremely long notification popped up, and after figuring out its meaning, all the players were completely baffled.
