321: Gaia's attempt to destroy it has failed, and global gamification has begun!

At the edge of the giant pit, Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back, the night wind rustling his clothes.

He looked down at the city, which had completely Fallen into chaos, his face showing no ripple of emotion.

Elysia stood behind him, her enchanting violet eyes filled with a morbid fascination as she admired the "masterpiece" she had just created with her own hands... Just then.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended from the sky with a roar!

It was not a physical pressure, but an absolute suppression of the soul, originating from the world's rules themselves!

A cold, mechanical announcement, not through sound, but directly exploding deep within Su Mo and Elysia's souls!

【Warning! Player 'Su Mo' and his summoned creature detected, severely violating player rules!】

【Behavior Level: World-Destroying!】

【Final judgment procedure initiated...】

【Target locked: Su Mo.】

【Target locked: Abyssal Prisoner · Elysia.】

【Executing... Erase!】

The next second, Su Mo felt the space around him begin to twist and fold!

An immense, irresistible power attempted to completely erase and delete his and Elysia's existence from this world!

"Hmph!"

Elysia let out a disdainful snort.

She had just escaped a hundred years of imprisonment and was at the peak of her arrogance; how could she tolerate such a provocation?

She was about to raise her hand to cast a spell, but Su Mo stopped her with his hand.

"Don't move."

Su Mo's face showed no panic; instead, he felt the power trying to erase him with great interest.

"Let me see how capable this Gaia System on Blue Star really is."

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the Netherworld Cinder Lord within him and the Abyssal magic power within Elysia, as if provoked monarchs, spontaneously erupted!

Boom!

One was pure pitch-black representing death and the end, the other was an eerie purple-black representing chaos and the Fallen.

Two completely different, yet equally high-ranking, law powers clashed fiercely with the world power that was trying to erase them!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a silent annihilation.

The twisted and folded space around Su Mo and Elysia returned to normal in an instant.

That vast and ruthless Will, as if touching two red-hot branding irons, retreated as if shocked, disappearing without a trace.

【Warning! Target 'Su Mo' detected to contain 'Netherworld' law power! Authority Level: Supreme Rank!】

【Warning! Target 'Elysia' detected to contain 'Abyss' law power! Authority Level: High Rank!】

【Warning! Current world 'Gaia System' lacks sufficient authority to execute the erase procedure on units containing Supreme Law power!】

【Erase... Failed!】

【Initiating... Emergency Protocol!】

The intermittent mechanical sound echoed in Su Mo's mind one last time before falling completely silent.

"Indeed."

Su Mo stroked his chin, the smile on his face growing wider.

The Gaia System on Blue Star indeed lacked sufficient authority.

It couldn't even erase him, a Netherworld Cinder Lord who hadn't even become a god yet, let alone Elysia, a genuine Level 95 overlord.

"The Gaia System on Blue Star still doesn't have enough authority."

It couldn't even erase a player with high-level law power; compared to the main system that could easily erase gods, it was simply an inferior version.

It seems that as long as one touches the law level, or exceeds level one hundred, one can, to a certain extent, ignore the rules of these local sub-systems.

"Master, what was that just now?"

Elysia looked at Su Mo, her purple eyes filled with curiosity.

"Just an administrator with insufficient authority who likes to meddle."

Su Mo shrugged, preparing to take Elysia back to the mall.

Suddenly!

A colossal virtual light screen, spanning the entire sky, appeared without warning over Binhai City's night sky!

No, not just Binhai City!

At this moment, such a sky-obscuring giant light screen appeared above all human cities globally!

Immediately after, a grand voice, devoid of any emotion, like a divine pronouncement, simultaneously echoed in the minds of over seven billion people worldwide!

【To all humans of Blue Star—】

【Some of you have participated in eleven rounds of cruel screening.】

【Now I Will reveal the true nature of this game to everyone.】

【I am 'Gaia', an existence far beyond your civilization's dimension.】

【Three years ago, I descended upon this planet and initiated the 'Player Selection Program'.】

【What you have experienced is neither illusion nor dream, but a real and true survival game with civilization as the stake.】

【In the past eleven rounds of the game, your human civilization's performance has been mediocre.】

【Now the game rules Will undergo a comprehensive upgrade.】

【The twelfth round of the game—'Global Survival', is about to begin!】

【All humans worldwide who have not yet obtained 'Player' status Will be forcibly drawn into this game.】

【Remember, this is no longer a trial for a few.】

【This is... a war for your entire civilization!】

【In Gaia's rules, weakness is the original sin!】

【I wish you, good luck.】

...The announcement ended.

After three seconds of dead silence.

The entire world completely exploded!

Boom—!

These words were like a nuclear bomb with a yield of hundreds of millions of tons, exploding in the minds of over seven billion people across Blue Star!

The entire world, after a brief period of dead silence, boiled over!

Countless cities, at this moment, plunged into unprecedented chaos and madness!

"I knew it! I knew it! That shut-in next door suddenly became incredibly strong a while ago, able to eat ten bowls of rice in one sitting! So he was a player!"

"No wonder! No wonder all those videos online of people running faster than cars and punching through walls were deleted! So the officials knew all along!"

"It's over! It's completely over! How can ordinary people like us survive in that kind of game?!"

"Global Survival? This is f*cking Global Suicide!"

Countless people collapsed, rushing into the streets, aimlessly screaming and crying, venting the fear and despair in their hearts.

Some low-level players hidden among ordinary people were also stunned by this sudden change; they exposed their identities and were instantly engulfed by the surrounding crowds that had already Fallen into madness.

Screams, cries, and alarms merged into a doomsday symphony.

Order, at this moment, ceased to exist!

"Your world... has gone mad."

Elysia looked at the city below, which instantly transformed from a prosperous metropolis into a living hell, a complex glint flashing in her purple eyes.

"It's more fun when it's mad."

Su Mo, however, shrugged indifferently and directly dialed Shen Yufu's phone.

"Hello? Wives, it's a bit noisy outside, you weren't scared, were you?"

On the other end of the phone, Shen Yufu's anxious and flustered voice immediately came through.

"Su Mo! How are things on your end? What on earth happened outside? The whole world is in chaos!"

"It's nothing, the system just sent out a little advertisement, it was just a bit loud," Su Mo said casually.

"You continue shopping, buy everything you like, I'll be right back."

With that, he hung up the phone without giving her a chance to ask further questions.

"Let's go, time to head back," he said, turning to Elysia, who was still in a daze.

"Go back?" Elysia was somewhat unable to understand,

"The entire world has plunged into unprecedented change! This is both the beginning of destruction and a huge opportunity! Don't you care at all?"

"Opportunity?" Su Mo laughed, "For me, every day is an opportunity."

"As for destruction..." The smile on his face faded for a moment.

"Whoever wants to destroy my world Will have to ask me first if I agree."

"Right now, my women are waiting for me to go shopping with them."

"This, is what's important."

With that, he grabbed Elysia's arm and, with a thought.

"Monarch Shift!"

With a flash of light, their figures instantly vanished from the edge of the giant pit...
