Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Zhang Yue hadn't forgotten that his purpose for entering the Gate of Eternity was to uncover the secrets surrounding Xuan Lan and Long Two.

Clearly, the answers weren't within the Gates of Death.

Zhang Yue had no choice but to seek out the Gates of Life for answers.

Meanwhile, as Zhang Yue searched through the Gates of Life and Death—

———

Elsewhere.

In a corner of the Gate of Eternity—

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Hundreds of beams of white light descended as a group of 100 professional players entered the Gate of Eternity.

These players, all around Level 65, were equipped with advanced gear and were all Assassins.

They were none other than the dark faction previously orchestrated by Xu Aiguo to assassinate the contestants from various parts of Dragon Nation.

After entering the Gate of Eternity, the leading Assassin surveyed the surroundings before instructing the others, "First locate Zero's position, then proceed to the next phase of the plan."

"And remember, under no circumstances should we expose ourselves!"

At that moment, someone among the group hesitated and said timidly, "Are we… really going to do this? Zero is so powerful. If he discovers us, it's a guaranteed death sentence…"

"Also, they say the Gate of Eternity has a nine-death-one-life gate survival rate. If we can't find our way out and die in here, won't we suffer a huge loss?"

The leading Assassin sneered, "We've already stepped inside, and now you're spouting nonsense? If you were so scared, you shouldn't have accepted the 10 million bounty or come in here in the first place!"

"There's no turning back now. We must find the Gate of Life to escape. First, trigger the mechanism to kill Zero, and then we'll think about finding the exit!"

"Stick together! Nobody goes off on their own!"

With that, the group of 100 moved together, advancing cautiously through the vast ancient ruins.

It was widely known that those who entered the Gate of Eternity faced a survival rate of one in ten.

Though fearful, they were all here for money.

Wealth had the power to suppress their fear.

Just by entering the Gate of Eternity, they'd already earned the initial 10 million bounty. Furthermore, their employer promised that anyone who survived and completed the mission would receive an additional reward ten times that amount—1 billion.

Such an astronomical sum was impossible for anyone to resist.

In other words, if someone offered you 1 billion to participate in a nine-dead-one-alive game, would you refuse?

As the group advanced, three Leader-tier undead lions burst out from underground ahead of them.

"Prepare for battle!"

The Assassins drew their daggers and engaged the undead lions immediately.

This team, skilled enough to assassinate contestants from Dragon Nation, was undoubtedly elite.

With the combined strength of 100 Assassins, they swiftly defeated the three Leader-tier lions.

After the battle, those entering the Gate of Eternity for the first time heaved a sigh of relief.

"They say the Gate of Eternity is insanely dangerous, with a nine-dead-one-alive survival rate. I thought it would be terrifying! But honestly, it's not that bad!"

"Yeah, just a few Leader-tier monsters. Isn't this easy?"

But no sooner had they finished speaking—

RUMBLE!

The ground began to shake violently.

From beneath the surface, a 9-star undead tyrannosaurus and a 9-star flaming phoenix boss emerged simultaneously.

The appearance of two bosses at once left everyone dumbfounded.

The smug smiles of those who had downplayed the difficulty vanished instantly.

"Our mission is to trigger the mechanism and eliminate Zero. Don't engage these bosses! Bypass them!"

Though they tried to avoid confrontation, the undead tyrannosaurus and the flaming phoenix seemed unwilling to let these intruders leave unscathed.

The bosses launched a ferocious attack, forcing the group into a desperate battle.

Without a frontline tank or healer in their ranks, the fragile Assassins couldn't withstand the simultaneous onslaught of two bosses.

Although their high burst damage allowed them to take down the bosses eventually, they paid a heavy price. By the time the undead tyrannosaurus and flaming phoenix were slain, three of their teammates had already fallen.

Looking at the lifeless corpses of their fallen comrades, the surviving Assassins were filled with dread.

"Once you die in here, there's no coming back… it's real death…"

"I don't want to die. I'm still young. I've never even touched a girl's… I don't want to die before my time!"

"Everyone, don't lose hope! Stay strong! As long as we make it out alive, we'll all be billionaires. Then we can retire, drive sports cars, live in mansions, and date foreign supermodels."

Motivated once again by the lure of wealth, the group steadied their resolve.

After looting the bosses' drops and reluctantly scavenging their fallen teammates' belongings, they pressed on.

———

Meanwhile, elsewhere—

Zhang Yue continued hunting monsters while searching for the Living and Gates of Death.

Unfortunately, the Gates of Death appeared far more frequently.

Zhang Yue entered several Gates of Death in a row, slaying countless Leader-tier monsters and bosses.

His inventory was almost overflowing with loot.

BOOM!

After obliterating three Leader-tier monsters with an SS-ranked NecroStorm, a system notification sounded in Zhang Yue's ears—

[Ding~ The system has detected that your remaining mana is insufficient for consumption. The skill [Glory: War God's Physique] has been automatically deactivated]

Zhang Yue glanced at his nearly depleted mana bar and sighed softly, "Too fast. This is unbearable."

The unique SSS-ranked skill [Glory: War God's Physique] significantly enhanced Zhang Yue's combat prowess. Without it, maneuvering within the Gate of Eternity would have been much harder.

However, its mana consumption was ridiculously high.

Including his three pets, Zhang Yue burned almost 600 mana points per second. Even with over 60,000 mana, he couldn't sustain it for long.

Even when using mana potions, his mana would run dry every three minutes.

This skill was unsustainable for prolonged use. The further he progressed, the greater the consumption.

Zhang Yue could only hope, "If I could find a set of equipment with mana regeneration, or a transcendent set, that'd be ideal."

As he pondered, another gate suddenly appeared.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yue stepped inside, only to find himself in yet another Gate of Death.

This time, he stood in a dark mountain range, surrounded by hundreds of Leader-tier giant pythons and three 9-star boss-level serpent kings, slithering toward him with ominous hissing sounds.

After using a mana potion to restore his state, Zhang Yue gripped his staff and prepared for battle.

———

Meanwhile, just outside this Gate of Death—

Moments after Zhang Yue had entered, a large group of players arrived.

It was the Assassin squad.

Out of the original group of 100, only 60-70 remained.

In other words, nearly a third of them had perished along the way.

Standing outside the glowing portal, they discussed among themselves.

"Do you think this is a Gate of Life or a Gate of Death?"

"Who cares? As long as we follow the plan and activate the mechanism, it doesn't matter!"

One of them voiced concern, "But… could the mechanism harm us?"

"It won't. We were told the mechanism only affects those inside the gate. As long as we stay outside, we'll be fine."

"Hurry! Activate the mechanism before Zero comes out."

Daggers in hand, the group approached the glowing portal with murderous intent.
