Chapter 984: Heaven Falls

Qi Xia pondered the rules of this game, but still had no clue.

Although he had recovered most of his memories, there was nothing in them related to "Cang Jie Qi."

Could it truly be as Qing Long had said back then... that this game was personally designed by Qing Long himself?

Not only did it have "appointing generals," but also a "preparation area," which sounded no different from ancient military campaigns. Was there even going to be a "battlefield"?

Thinking in the worst-case scenario, all the chosen people might start fighting each other in a moment, like a massive brawl.

But if it were truly seven people on each side fighting freely in an area, that hardly seemed like Qing Long's style.

If he just wanted to watch for amusement, why would he assign a game like this "Di Hu" to the "Di Long"?

Besides, if it was a group fight, why only need seven people?

Qi Xia didn't have time to think more deeply. Since Chu Tian Qiu had chosen "Zhang Shan," he had to come up with a corresponding strategy.

So, Qi Xia extended his finger and wrote the three characters "Qiao Jia Jin" in a sharp, icy script.

Di Long, upon seeing this, casually opened the door behind him, revealing Qiao Jia Jin and Chen Jun Nan, both looking bewildered.

"Fuck..." Chen Jun Nan stared at the door in a daze. "The Book of Life and Death? Lao Qiao, the King of Hell wants you to report in."

"What the hell!" Qiao Jia Jin waved his hands quickly. "That's bad luck. I'm not with the King of Hell; I'm with Guan Er Ye."

"You think this is like a big boss meeting his little brother?" Chen Jun Nan said. "It's probably that kid Qi Xia messing around. If you don't go, he'll be embarrassed. Maybe you should just..."

Before he could finish, Qiao Jia Jin had already rushed through the door, and Chen Jun Nan couldn't even grab him.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Chen Jun Nan had only meant to joke around, but before he could say more, Qiao Jia Jin was gone.

This scene left Yan Zhi Chun completely stunned.

"He just..." Yan Zhi Chun turned to Chen Jun Nan. "Is this your usual tactic...?"

"Tactic...?" Chen Jun Nan blinked. "Sis, you don't know us well enough yet. If you get the chance, I'll show you what our real 'tactic' is like."

Yan Zhi Chun shook her head helplessly, and the next second, a voice rang in her ear.

"Tsk... Yan Zhi Chun."

Yan Zhi Chun furrowed her brow and stepped back to the side.

"I'm here," Yan Zhi Chun said.

"No need to speak out loud; your thoughts will reach me. Tsk, I'm with that bitch Jiang Ruo Xue right now," Zhou Liu said. "She's holding my hand, so we can start."

Yan Zhi Chun glanced at Chen Jun Nan, Wen Qiao Yun, and Jin Yuan Xun still standing nearby, and nodded slightly. In her mind, she thought: "Let it all begin."

A few seconds later, a strange force began to wander around Yan Zhi Chun. She felt a powerful energy building in her heart, as if a single thought could unleash a tremendous sound.

So, she took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and let the massive sound pour out from within.

"Everyone, I am the Ji Dao King."

A steady and forceful voice instantly spread across the entire city, making both Zhou Liu and Jiang Ruo Xue turn pale.

"Some of you have seen me, some haven't, but if you can hear my voice, it proves you are seasoned Ji Dao members. Thank you for your years of dedication."

Tong Yi was walking down the hallway of "Tian Tang Kou" with Li Xiang Ling when Tong Yi suddenly stopped and turned to look out the window.

"Tong Yi... what's wrong?" Li Xiang Ling asked, blinking.

"It's nothing, child," Tong Yi smiled as she gazed outside. "Did you hear that... someone's singing."

"Singing...?" Li Xiang Ling followed Tong Yi's gaze out the window, but she heard nothing.

The sky was blood-red, and the sun was dim and yellowish.

"Yes, a wonderful song."

"From the day Ji Dao was established, we have followed the mission of 'protecting this place,' with countless people risking their lives for it. Now, we face our final battle."

"Oh my god!" Lao Sun looked around in terror. "Xiao Xiao! Did you hear that? What's that noise?"

"Be quiet!" Xiao Xiao said.

"It's not... why does this voice sound familiar?" Lao Sun said anxiously. "It seems like that girl..."

"I told you to be quiet!!"

"Anyone who reaches the peak on their path is called a 'Ji Dao,' but even the highest path has an end. What I'm about to say will only remain in your minds—remember not to mention it to anyone."

In "Zhong Yan Zhi Di," many people began to quiet down amid the various noises.

A humanoid monkey also lifted its head at that moment, looking at the sky with a complex expression.

It had never imagined a voice would suddenly appear in its mind, and even more, that the voice belonged to someone it knew well.

"Now, there's a very important task I need all brothers and sisters to handle. Please go to the nearest street, and raise your right hand."

Many people started to step out of their houses hesitantly, encountering others doing the same.

A few seconds later, someone slowly raised their right hand.

In no time, hundreds of people standing on the streets had raised their right hands.

Countless passersby stopped to watch, completely baffled about what was happening.

"Remember the faces of those around you who are raising their hands—they are your allies right now. I need everyone to head to the center of the city and wait for the next instructions."

Lin Geng twirled a strand of her hair with her fingertip, frowning in silence.

She turned to look out the window, where several people at "Tian Tang Kou" had already started leaving the campus.

"This journey is full of danger. If any of you have words for those beside you, say them now, so you won't have regrets."

Zheng Ying Xiong took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and turned to Tian Tian. "Sister, I really like you."

"Hmm...?" Tian Tian was startled, then smiled with curved eyes. "I like you too, but why say that all of a sudden?"

"I like you the way I like Yan Zi," Zheng Ying Xiong said. "But you're not Yan Zi; you're the angel Yan Zi sent to me."

"Yan Zi...?" Tian Tian sensed something was off. "Ying Xiong, what are you saying?"

Zheng Ying Xiong smiled happily, then walked out of the classroom under Tian Tian's puzzled gaze.

"Ying Xiong!" Tian Tian hurried after him. "Where are you going?"

"I have to protect everyone; I want to become a true hero."

"Please wait patiently; I have one last thing to confirm. Once I verify that this plan is feasible, I'll join you all at the city center to begin our final day. Until then, may everyone stay safe and well."

"Everyone, long live Ji Dao."
