There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

The map was cleared, successfully rewarding an S-level prop.

This was normal.

It was his original purpose for entering this map, but upon seeing that Jiang Chenglu was also on this map, his purpose instantly shifted from obtaining an S-level prop to struggling to stay alive.

Unexpectedly, after a series of accidents and mistakes, he still managed to complete the task.

And at this point—

All announcements had been read, and now it was time to sort out the rewards.

The total gains from this map were.

An S-level prop 'Longevity as the Southern Mountains' added 11.28 million life value, 20 million points, random S-level prop given by the Mozang Tribe of the Sixfold Planet.

The Gleaming Star level title 'Instakill Clan', the Stellar Rank title 'Deicide'.

And another S-level prop admission ticket was given, plus the one he hadn't used, he now had a total of 2 S-level prop admission tickets.

Oh, and he also got another 'Wonder Atlas'.

"..."

After tallying up all of his gains from this time, Chen Yi stood in place with a strange expression on his face without speaking. He had gained much more than he had anticipated. His expected gains had originally been just one S-level prop, but he ended up receiving a whole bunch more after that.

What's this called?

This is called being the child of good fortune!

Chen Yi then closed his personal panel and looked over at Tuberculosis Rabbit, who was sitting next to a stone table, lighting a cigarette amidst the swirling smoke. He gently patted the table.

"There's a long story to tell at this point."

"The moment the map began, I was..."

...

Ten minutes later.

Tuberculosis Rabbit's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he thought for a while before speaking, "Yi, are you saying that Jiang Chenglu actively sought his own death? To complete some task?"

"Yeah."

Chen Yi nodded lightly, "That Jiang Chenglu had a task chain with the final link requiring him to be killed by a new player, which is why he sought me out."

"How odd."

Sword Without End also seemed puzzled, leaning back in his chair, "Jiang Chenglu is, after all, one of the strongest players of the Ninefold Planet, almost the strongest player in the level-up game. Why would he go to such lengths just to complete a task chain?"

"Even if the reward for that task chain is a great prop, Jiang Chenglu shouldn't be lacking, right?"

"That's not clear."

Chen Yi shook his head, just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly heard a voice as if coming from the sky, accompanied by thunderous rumbling, resonating in every player's ears.

'Ding, an announcement for all players in the level-up game!!!'

'Let us congratulate, player Jiang Chenglu of the Mo Clan from Desert Star of the Ninefold Planet in the 17th star system of the Deity Starfield, for leading his planet to become the first and only Tenfold Planet in the level-up game!!!'

'This is the grandest achievement in the history of the level-up game, and a unique milestone!'

'Award to player Jiang Chenglu the title 'The Only God', a random MAX prop*1, random XL prop*10, random MAX skill*1, random XL skill*10, 100 billion points, the unique MAX prop 'Devouring Demon Wings', the unique MAX vehicle 'Gods and Demons Tomb', and the unique pass 'Gods and Demons Pass'.'

'All players of Desert Star will receive 10 million points, a random L prop*1, a random L skill*1, and the permanent title 'Pioneers of the Tenfold Planet'.'

'Furthermore, all players of Desert Star will follow Jiang Chenglu's lead to depart from the level-up game and delve into the depths of the universe to participate in the 'Life-and-Death Competition'!'

'Let us congratulate Jiang Chenglu as he returns in triumph!!!'

"..."

"..."

The entire level-up game, countless players as if they'd hit the pause button, suddenly fell into silence.

Utter silence.

This was the first time for all players to see an announcement for the entire level-up game!

Generally speaking, a regional announcement is already the limit for many players, as having an announcement made just for you, even if it's only a regional one, is quite strong. But a global announcement is something that only top players can achieve.

Like a star system announcement, a whole starfield announcement, that's on a whole different level of awesome!

As for Chen Yi, who triggered a Whole Starfield announcement, one might see none for years.

And someone like Jiang Chenglu, who triggered an announcement for the entire level-up game, can be said to be the first in the history of the level-up game, and maybe also the last.

A Tenfold Planet?! That's terrifying.

"..."

After keeping stiff for quite some time, Tuberculosis Rabbit swallowed hard, his body slightly tremoring as he said, "I finally understand why that Jiang Chenglu would go through so much trouble for a task chain."

```

"Could that quest chain be the one for ascending to the Tenfold Planet?"

"Wasn't the limit of this upgrade game supposed to be Ninefold Planet? How can we advance to the Tenfold Planet? And what does it mean to leave the upgrade game for that 'life and death match' after ascending to the Tenfold Planet?"

"Motherfucker..."

"We've actually come into contact with such a high-level existence?"

At this moment, Chen Yi was also somewhat stunned. He knew full well how powerful Jiang Chenglu was—even if Jiang Chenglu had removed all his defenses, it would take Chen Yi the use of the "Zigong" prop, triggering over 700,000 Fury of the Sea of Corpses just to blast him to death.

If Jiang Chenglu hadn't disarmed all his defenses, Chen Yi guessed that even if he just stood there, it would be impossible for him to kill him.

MAX prop?

What the hell level is that? He had never heard of it before. He had only heard of L-level props above SSS-level ones, he'd never ever heard of any MAX props.

If you don't understand, just ask—a good habit.

He activated the Requesting the Mandate of Heaven skill, which he hadn't used in a long time, ready to inquire with the Snow Sea Project Team about what rank MAX belonged to.

The other side responded quickly.

Above L-level props, there are XL and XXL-level props.

But XXL-level props are still not the end; above them, there are M-level props, above M is MX-level props, and above MX is MAX-level props.

MAX-level props are the strongest props in the upgrade game.

Any single MAX-level prop nearly possesses the same power as deities. It's no exaggeration to say they're like living deities, even suggesting that deities' power is inferior to MAX props wouldn't be an exaggeration, especially according to what the Snow Sea Project Team said.

To create one MAX-level prop, at least three deities must be consumed.

"..."

Chen Yi stood in silence, his face expressionless, not saying a word. He had heard from the White Phoenix Clan that props might be created by consuming the power of deities, but he had never imagined a single MAX prop would require the consumption of three deities.

Are they treating deities like cabbages?

His highest-level prop currently was an SSS-level one, and that Jiang Chenglu's MAX prop just crushed his by several grades. He finally understood why even with Jiang Chenglu just standing there, he couldn't penetrate his defenses.

Breaking through those defenses would be freaking miraculous!

His S-level props are already absurdly powerful, like Longevity as the Southern Mountains, which can stack Life Value infinitely. What kind of effect could a MAX-level prop have? It's not something crazy like snapping a finger and randomly killing off half of the upgrade game's players, is it?

Thanos living a second life?

Chen Yi took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the shock in his heart, and stopped thinking. If he thought about it any more, his Dao heart would shatter.

No matter how strong other people become.

It has nothing to do with him.

Building up his own strength step by step is the right path.

...

"Come back."

Inside the palace, Li Yi, with an expressionless face, called back the subordinate he had sent to investigate who Jiang Chenglu was. After a silent pause, he turned his head to look at Wang Qi, "Qi, I don't think I have offened Sir Yi in our daily interactions, have I?"

"Sir Yi?"

Wang Qi looked at Li Yi somewhat bizarrely, "How come your way of addressing him has changed three times in such a short period? From Chen Yi to Yi and now to Sir Yi?"

"It's nothing. Just feel it rolls off the tongue better like this."

"Do you really think it sounds better?"

"It does."

Li Yi nodded earnestly, his face serious. What was the need to investigate Jiang Chenglu? Was there still a need for investigation? The guy had already ascended to the Tenfold Planet, effectively becoming a god. The whole upgrade game knew about it, investigation be damned!

And such an incredible quest had just been taken down by Chen Yi.

Heh heh heh.

"Suddenly, I feel that the title 'Sir Yi' isn't quite smooth. What do you think about 'Grand Sir Yi'?"

"Or, 'Ancestor Yi'?"

"..."

Wang Qi looked at Li Yi with some speechlessness and rolled his eyes, "I think Yi is good enough. No matter how strong Chen Yi is, he's still our friend. Why are you so scared?"

"You don't understand. When the difference in status and identity is too great, you can't be friends anymore."

"I'll go make a statement in Club 33."

"Uh..."

Upon seeing the chat group of Club 33, Li Yi suddenly froze in disbelief, and unable to help it, he cursed, "Fuck, isn't this just shamelessly over the top?"
