All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 248 Reaching the 10,000 Level: The Third Round of Two Elimination Mechanisms!
"So what do you think the Spacetime Divine Body really is?" Chu Xiu asked.

Zhang Xian's guess makes sense, but if that's all the information we have, it's practically the same as having nothing at all. Because there are far too many things that can resist the power of time, not just the Time-Space Divine Body, but also certain talents!

For example, Zhou Wudao's "unprincipled person" should be able to withstand a server restart.

Space and time are also part of the "Tao".

“I received information from Kiran that there are three ultimate powers in this world: the power of Pangu, the power of the Divine River, and the power of the Void. These three major gene-creating god projects were actually attempts made by the Divine River civilization to master these three powers!” Zhang Xian said. “But only the power of the Divine River succeeded, the War God of Noxing succeeded halfway, while the light of the sun completely failed. The characteristic of manipulating stellar energy was not transformed into the manipulation of void energy!”

Chu Xiu nodded in agreement.

He also realized that the God of War of the Nor Star was just a low-powered version of the power of Pangu.

The same extreme explosive power, the same extreme penetrating power.

However, unlike Ge Xiaolun's Word of Power, the genes of the God of War of the Nor Star have no potential for further improvement; tearing apart a star is its limit. Ge Xiaolun's limit lies in "words becoming law," and even the ultimate "one word breaks all laws."

That was the "God King" power that the angels and the divine river desired.

“The Void Engine is actually a byproduct of Death God Karl’s exploration of the power of the void. In fact, the entire universe’s research on the void is all about pursuing the power of the void!” Zhang Xian continued, “Up to this point, it’s all nonsense. You, who have already mastered the power of Pangu, cannot possibly not sense the existence of the ‘Three Great Powers’.”

Chu Xiu remained silent in response.

Quietly awaiting Zhang Xian's next words.

“But if we only explore within the world, I think we will never obtain the ‘Space-Time Divine Body’ we want, and will only stop at the ‘Three Great Powers’, which is actually a wrong path!” Zhang Xian said, “We should explore the characteristics of the Space-Time Divine Body from the outside, from its essence—what exactly can resist space-time?”

This was a completely new perspective, which made Chu Xiu turn his head in surprise.

"So what do you think it is?"

"The power of breaking laws can counteract time, and the power of creation can counteract space. The combination of breaking laws and creation is the reliance against time and space. However, the power of breaking laws cannot counteract space, and the power of creation in lower-level worlds is constrained by time. Therefore, a third power is needed to combine them into one. That extremely neutral power is chaos, primordial chaos, and primordial yellow... What it is called is not important. What is important is that it needs to combine 'nothingness' and 'existence,' and connect illusion and reality!"

At this point, Zhang Xian showed a look of certainty.

He continued, “The ultimate power of the Divine River should be the power to break laws, and your Pangu power is the power of creation of this world. Both of these points are correct, but I think the Void God Body is a trap, and all paths to explore the void are wrong—the ultimate fear is that thing between illusion and reality. How to seize its power is the key to condensing the ‘Space-Time God Body’!”

This guess surprised Chu Xiu.

He had witnessed the birth of the ultimate fear, so he knew clearly that the ultimate fear was a new existence born from the Void Spirit's inability to digest reality after it devoured it and eventually perished.

It possesses both illusory and real attributes.

How could Zhang Xian deduce this from various pieces of information when he hadn't even seen it?

"Of course, it might not be a trap. Perhaps the Void God Body really exists, and Gao Fangfang may have already become one. But to truly achieve the 'Space-Time God Body' by combining the three powers, the power of Ultimate Fear is indispensable!" Zhang Xian said, "So, are you interested in joining forces with me to capture Ultimate Fear?"

So that was his real purpose.

He lacked confidence in taking down the final boss of the match on his own.

Even with Chu Xiu added to the mix, they still lacked confidence.

“You, me, Gao Fangfang, Leng Wusheng, and the winner among all the other players, the five of us will join forces to explore the void and actively seek out the ultimate fear!” Zhang Xian added, “The power of the Time-Space Divine Body can be taken out as just one skill. As long as we stay in the top five, we can avoid the tide of time. As for who gets the final first place, that’s not important, don’t you think?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu glanced at them, neither agreeing nor refusing. After a moment's thought, he finally said, "I can consider it. But before I go to explore the void, you need to master at least one of the three major powers, otherwise you won't be eligible to participate. And even if you do, the prerequisite for cooperating with me is that you unilaterally share your panel attributes with me, whether it's talents or skills!"

His first request was relatively easy to agree to.

Those who haven't mastered ultimate power are merely a burden and truly unqualified to go.

But sharing the control panel is going too far.

It's equivalent to completely exposing one's information to Chu Xiu, allowing him to see through one's entire being. This would affect not only this match but also the future.

Chu Xiu understands them, but they don't understand Chu Xiu.

This is the information gap!

“The request is a bit excessive. I can consider it, but they might not be willing!” Zhang Xian said.

But Chu Xiu laughed upon hearing this and said, "Then do you think the probability of the two of us joining forces to defeat the other three is higher, or the probability of the three of them defeating the two of us? Or, if all of you join forces, the probability of you defeating me is higher?"

Zhang Xian fell silent upon hearing this.

No more words were spoken.

Instead, they observed the battles between the many players outside.

At this moment, due to the appearance of the marker, all the players almost lost their minds. Ma Fei, Sheng Shen and the others began to develop rapidly, and the battle was quite intense.

The number of players is also decreasing.

However, although their strength had improved considerably, Chu Xiu, standing before Zhang Xian, became increasingly unfathomable, especially after the players had been fighting for many days and their numbers had been reduced by 90%.

Chu Xiu seemed to have broken through a certain critical point, and his whole body suddenly became illusory.

"What you're doing... could it be..."

Zhang Xian looked at the glaring "10000 heads" on the popularity leaderboard, his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Your talent allows you to directly possess 'Void Power'?"

At the same time, the system also issued a prompt.

"Since more than 90% of the players have been eliminated in the battle, the second round of elimination will be skipped, and the third round will begin directly!"

"This round of elimination is the final round of elimination in this instance. There are two elimination mechanisms. One is 'Void Devouring,' and the last player to be devoured by the ultimate fear will be the final winner!"

"The second mechanic is: The one and only god in Teamfight Tactics!"

"The last player remaining in the Cloud Top Arena will become the 'player boss,' and players can team up to challenge him. If they succeed, all players who survived to this round will have their failure counted!"

This suggestion startled Zhang Xian, and Chu Xiu was also taken aback.

"If I take down the Cloud Peak Arena, then everyone wins? I've become the boss again!" Chu Xiu revealed a playful smile: "But, right now, I might be even harder to beat than the Ultimate Fear!"
