89: The End of the War Zone and the Door to a New World

When the ID of the last "challenger" completely dimmed on the member list, the entire 8888 War Zone fell into an unprecedented, suffocating silence.

Above the sky, the God of Flame Bird, which blotted out the sun, floated quietly, its golden wings slowly unfurling. With each flap, golden light rained down, as if purifying this land stained by blood and destruction.

Behind it, ten terrifying Infernal Flying Dragons, like the most loyal guardians, circled around, their eyes burning with hellfire, coldly scanning every inch of the ground, ensuring that no living creature dared to challenge their master's authority.

Lin Feng sat quietly on his throne, constructed of light and fire, overlooking this "Divine Kingdom" that was now entirely his.

There was no joy of victory on his face.

Only a faint weariness and emptiness, after completing a lengthy and tedious "cleanup."

He casually opened the war zone survivor list.

The originally dense list now contained fewer than a hundred IDs.

Besides himself, the rest were low-tier lords of B, C, or even D-grade, who had trembled in fear from beginning to end, not even daring to breathe loudly.

They were like a few duckweeds in a raging storm, miraculously surviving.

"It's time to clean up the trash."

Lin Feng's eyes turned cold again.

He was never a soft-hearted person.

When cutting weeds, one must remove the roots.

However, just as he was about to control the Infernal Flying Dragons to wipe these survivors from the map as well, Boom!!!!

A golden divine oracle, grander and more majestic than any previous system announcement, without warning, covered the entire war zone, directly imprinted deep within the soul of every survivor!

【War Zone End Announcement: Detected that the number of surviving lords in the 8888 War Zone has fallen below 100. The "Final Selection" protocol has been completed!】

【Congratulations, survivors! You have proven your worth with strength and wisdom!】

【To welcome broader challenges and promote the evolution of civilization, the "Myriad Worlds Fusion" protocol will be executed in 1 hour server time!】

【Rule One: War Zone Merger! This war zone will merge with 99 surrounding war zones that have also completed the "Final Selection," sharing data and combining maps to form the brand new - "First Sequence Battlefield"!】

【Rule Two: Law Reset! The new battlefield will adopt new laws and balance adjustments. The attributes of some units, buildings, and spells may change. Please explore the details yourself after the merger.】

【Rule Three: Path to the Throne! In the new battlefield, a "Ranked System" and "World Wonder" contention will be activated! Only true powerhouses can ascend to the throne and overlook the myriad worlds!】

【Rule Four: Peace Protocol! The first 7 days after the war zone merger will be a "Peace Protection Period," during which all lords will be unable to engage in PVP (Player vs. Player) activities.】

【Countdown: 00:59:59】

This earth-shattering announcement was like a supernova exploding in everyone's mind!

Every word transformed into a torrent capable of overturning worldviews, fiercely impacting the cognition of all survivors!

Zone merge!

And it was a grand fusion of one hundred war zones!

If before, they had only witnessed the terror of the prehistoric giant shark, Heaven's Choice, in a small pond.

Now, the system was going to open up all one hundred such ponds, merging them into a true 'shura field' called the "ocean"!

The low-tier lords who had fortunately survived were first stunned, then an uncontrollable ecstasy, like that of escaping death, erupted in their hearts!

Peace protection period!

A full seven days!

This meant they could at least live for seven more days!

Moreover, after the merger, the great demon king, Heaven's Choice, would no longer be the only threat!

In the new world, there would inevitably be more and stronger existences!

Could Heaven's Choice still do whatever he wanted, like he did in the 8888 War Zone?

For a time, the thoughts of these survivors became active.

They looked at the ID Heaven's Choice high in the sky, and the pure fear in their eyes quietly faded, replaced by a complex emotion mixed with schadenfreude and anticipation.

However, on the throne, Lin Feng's reaction was completely beyond their expectations.

Looking at the announcement, not only did he show no solemnity or unease, but instead, he slowly revealed a hint of... an interested smile.

"First Sequence Battlefield... Path to the Throne..."

He quietly chewed on these words, full of challenge and opportunity. In his long-dormant eyes, a flame called "fighting spirit" rekindled.

Slaughtering noobs was ultimately boring.

Only by clashing with true powerhouses could he experience the real fun of this world.

His gaze slowly swept over the "ants" in the channel who thought they had escaped disaster and even started whispering.

He smiled.

That smile was cold and playful, like looking at a group of pitiful appetizers about to be served on a new dining table.

Heaven's Choice: "Glad you're still alive."

A simple sentence, yet it instantly dropped the atmosphere of the entire channel to freezing point.

Everyone who had just held onto a glimmer of hope felt their hearts once again fiercely gripped by an invisible hand.

Heaven's Choice: "It seems your luck is good."

Heaven's Choice: "However, I hope you can control your mouths."

Lin Feng's intent, like a surgical knife, precisely dissected the unspoken little secrets in their hearts.

Heaven's Choice: "Regarding what happened in this zone, I do not wish to hear a single word about it in the new world."

His words were flat, yet carried an undeniable, soul-freezing threat.

Heaven's Choice: "Otherwise, I will be very interested in playing a game called 'hide-and-seek' with you on the map of the new world."

Heaven's Choice: "Trust me, I will find you."

Heaven's Choice: "No matter where you hide, to the ends of the earth."

After saying these last words, his avatar promptly dimmed.

In the channel, there was a deathly silence.

All the survivors felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water from the abyss of the Nine Nether, chilling them from head to toe.

Their nascent hopes were crushed into dust before this man's absolute confidence and terrifying threat.

Yes.

How could they forget?

Even in the new world, this man was still the monster who could overturn an entire war zone by himself!

Would offending him truly lead to a good outcome?

At the thought of the ten Infernal Flying Dragons circling in the sky and the God of Flame Bird that could incinerate all things, only endless chill remained in everyone's hearts.

On the throne, Lin Feng stretched, looking at his resource panel, which had once again become empty, and pouted.

"Alas, back to square one overnight."

"It seems that in the new world, I'll have to start from scratch and work hard again."

He looked at the brilliant light gate slowly illuminating in the distance, representing the "Myriad Worlds Fusion," his eyes filled with anticipation.

New world, new prey.

I hope you can bring me a little... surprise.
