"When I discovered my identity, my first reaction was to look at him. As it turned out, he wasn't on the same side as me. At that moment, I knew that this game was very likely to require me to kill him in order to win."

"I hoped he wasn't the Prophet, that way I could refrain from killing him."

"However, when the fog cleared and he just opened his mouth, I was already in despair."

"Oh well, death might be a relief, less exhausting."

...

Liu Shu spoke as her body began to melt, all her flesh and blood vanished, leaving behind skeletal remains.

Her eyes were filled with determination, facing death with utmost calm.

At this moment.

Among those present.

The White Elephant spoke up: "To tell the truth, I am the Guardian."

"These many days, I have only guarded two people, one is myself, and the other is the Master. Besides them, I have guarded no one else."

The Gray Wolf said: "Although I am inherently a wolf, in this game, I unexpectedly got the Divine Token. I am a Gun Card. After Liu Shu died, it's the Werewolf's turn to strike tonight. The Master is a normal card, so it's simple: as long as the White Elephant guards the Master today, the Werewolf will surely lose."

The game held no suspense anymore.

The male protagonist's face turned abnormally grim as he looked at Liu Shu's body, speaking with displeasure: "It's all because of her. If she hadn't disrupted our plan from the start, the Wolf Card wouldn't have lost so quickly."

"Originally, Xu Nuonuo didn't need to speak with emotion; just play normally, and we would have given him the votes. All we needed was to last three rounds, and by then, we would surely win."

"It's a pity... "

The male protagonist gave Liu Shu one last deep look, then fell silent.

Subsequently, the voting ended.

Without suspense, as he exited the game, it was already over.

And at that moment.

There were no longer any game sounds, and those few dead players actually woke up at this moment.

The world shook, and the eerie game space began to collapse.

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal in Zhao Yi's arms voiced in his mind.

"Master, bad news, it's the Nether Tree devouring this world, and this Game World is on the verge of collapse!"

"The growth of the Nether Tree is simply beyond our imagination. It has only devoured three worlds, yet it has this much power to devour a new world. At this rate, I fear the entire Three Thousand Worlds will completely perish soon."

"I've exerted all my power to help you perceive where the River of Time is. It is in a void not far from the New World, so hurry out of this world and prepare for the final battle after obtaining the River of Time."

"If we don't haste, it might be too late by then!"

...

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal finished speaking, and Zhao Yi acted immediately.

He no longer looked at the distant male protagonist, speaking to several beasts: "Quickly follow me and leave."

In the Game World, Zhao Yi's greatest acquisition was the Law of Judgement.

This is a rule with exceptionally strong attack power, allowing him to utilize the Power of Judgment to ignore any enemy defenses.

Seeing his anxious expression, Xu Yue'Er roared wildly, transforming into a massive Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in an instant.

"Master, quickly come up."

Zhao Yi floated into the air, standing atop her dragon head.

The White Elephant's form expanded swiftly, then he began a wild sprint.

The speed of the Black Eagle and Gray Wolf was originally fast, and after the space shattered, they had already rushed a thousand miles away.

Zhao Yi pointed in a direction, where the River of Time was located.

He lifted the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, aiming forward.

A purple gas dragon rushed forth, shattering the space again and ripping open a passage.

The group decisively entered, leaving this uncanny Game World.

After they left.

The Black Nether Tree burst from the ground, covering the sky and obscuring the sun. The world turned into a black fearsome zone, filled with the menacing Demonic Qi emerging and various Nether Fires burning.

The Game World was originally composed of various cyberpunk sci-fi cities, constructed from various game spaces.

Now.

The branches of the Nether Tree continuously extended outward, piercing one game space after another.

The people inside were drained of energy by the Nether Tree, quickly turning into nothingness.

As well as all energies of this world, quickly disappearing.

At this moment.

The Heavenly Dao Will of the Game World appeared, his form made from various game frames, like a silhouette assembled from myriad images.

He looked at the Nether Tree, a deep dread in his eyes.

"This day has truly come?"

"The images in the games have become reality, the ultimate disaster of the Three Thousand Worlds, the collapse of the Cosmos, is it destined by fate?"

"Fortunately, that person came before this happened, I've already given him the Law of Judgement, the strongest rule of the Game World, but I wonder if he can take that step?"

Thinking this, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was the Heavenly Dao Will of the Magic World, wrapped in black Demonic Qi.

After siding with the Nether Tree, it had become his first War General.

"Didn't expect you really betrayed?"

"Instead of calling it allegiance, let's say it's symbiosis with the Lord Nether Tree."

The Heavenly Dao Will of the Game World snorted coldly: "Clearly a servant, yet you speak so grandiosely. But you may not necessarily reach the end, it's uncertain who will win or lose."

The Heavenly Dao Will of the Magic World said no more, raising a black blade, slowly advancing forward.

Not long after.

The entire Game World collapsed.

Leaving only a sky-covering tree.

...

Meanwhile.

Zhao Yi hadn't been in the void long before he saw the mysterious River of Time.

The few beasts, seeing it for the first time, were filled with shock and astonishment.

"Is this the River of Time? It flows freely in the void, able to traverse the Three Thousand Worlds, and no one can stop its flow, just like time itself, gone never to return. We thought this was merely a legend, but we truly got to see it!"

"It's said that if one bathes in the River of Time for three days, they can grasp the Power of Time, be acknowledged by the River of Time, and wield its power. Even if the Three Thousand Worlds perish, they can jump into the river to evade all harm."

"Traversing future and past, pausing between now and instants, this is the world's only Time Law."

"It's a pity! No one has ever lasted in the River of Time. Even at the Peak of Great Daoist Sage, entering is said to instantly turn into mere bones..."

...

Before the beasts could finish speaking, their voices abruptly stopped.

As if their throats were seized, unable to utter another word.

In their sights, Zhao Yi had already reached the edge of the River of Time, placing one foot inside.
