Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

One of the newbies, confused, looked at his jubilant companions and exclaimed, "You...you guys are so clueless! Someone's rebelling! Aren't you afraid of getting blood splattered on you?"

The veterans watched him with amusement.

One of them said, “Kid, this rebellion is probably not quite the same as what you’re thinking. See those two words? ‘Duplicate’! A duplicate means that even if our ‘Seven Treasures General’ and this ‘Arc Light Lord’ fight to the death, their brains splattered everywhere, it has nothing to do with us! They’re not in the same space as us.”

Another person said, "If you don't join either side and just watch from the sidelines, then this 'rebellion' is less bloody than a street brawl."

The newcomer blinked, somewhat disbelieving: "Really? A rebellion?"

of course it's true.

One major advantage of ascending worlds is that the vast majority of conflicts are resolved within instances or within the game itself.

No matter how fierce the fight is inside, it has nothing to do with what's happening outside.

"The year is Jiazi" is a copy of a rebellion.

It can only be activated when the Seven Treasures General is present in the community.

Once activated, four global interactive features will be unlocked immediately:

[Faction System:]

Every adventurer has the right to choose once, and can freely join one of the two sides.

This is a costly choice; once he chooses one side, he will immediately lose his neutrality and be forced to participate in the instance.

Getting involved carries the risk of death.

Therefore, both sides will offer their own terms—

If the benefits aren't enough, who will risk their lives for you?

[Support System:]

Everyone in the community can provide supplies to both sides in the conflict.

Unlike the faction system, the "sugar daddy" who provides resources still has a neutral status, as long as he has not chosen a faction.

An army marches on its stomach; without supplies, war is impossible.

If you choose to support one side now and hit the jackpot, you can pick any of the five major positions or the five ministers.

What's even more fascinating is that all the support items will be made public and ranked according to their value.

Rebellion is a popular activity.

It is also a major event that everyone is paying attention to.

The prestige of being number one on the list is self-evident.

If not only is it number one on the list, but it also hits the jackpot...

I don't even want to think about how rich I'll become in the future!

[Imperial Edict System:]

The proclamation system is nothing special; it's just a server-wide loudspeaker.

Both sides can release videos or text messages to explain policies, publicize benefits, or criticize the other side to everyone on 96511.

In short, this is a window for publicity.

[Support Rate Panel:]

The approval rating panel reflects "public sentiment".

The gods will read everyone's inner desires and present them in real time—

Who do people think will win?

The answer to this question will be obvious and absolutely accurate.

After all, the approval rating data is directly read by the gods, not generated by voting.

Currently, the support rate is 50:50.

For the vast majority of people in 96511, General Zuo Chang of the Seven Treasures and Lord Hu Guang of the Heavenly King's Division are strangers.

People don't have enough information to make a judgment, so they naturally won't favor anyone, and the support rate is naturally 50/50.

But this approval rating...

It will be broken soon.

"Clap!"

After a crisp sound, a huge curtain of light appeared in the sky.

A magnificent square appeared before everyone—

This is the Heavenly King Square in Heavenly King City.

Arc Light, determined to launch a rebellion, had naturally made preparations well in advance. At this moment, Tianwang Square was spotless, adorned with flowers, and stood proudly with thousands of armored guards in impeccable military bearing.

Just looking at it evokes a sense of solemnity and grandeur; it is truly awe-inspiring.

"Ow—"

After a deafening roar, a crimson fire dragon descended from the sky, landing in the center of the square, and slowly lowered its head, as if kneeling before someone.

After that, the crisp sound of footsteps rang out.

A woman with long, slender ears, who looked like an elf, gracefully approached and took over the screen of light.

Her expression was cold as she spoke, "Citizens of 96511, I am the new lord of Heavenly King City, Arc Light. And..."

She pulled open her collar, revealing the goddess mark between her collarbone and the neck strap.

“I am also a high priestess of the Divine Sound Society. I have come here to guide you on the instructions of the Goddess of Time and her representative.”

Chapter 142 Methods of Skipping Class

"The Divine Sound Society? The two orthodox schools after the split of the Church of Time?"

"What do you mean by two big ones? Actually, there's only one. The Divine Sound Society retains the vast majority of its power, and its headquarters are in Community 23. The Reading Club and the Divine Sound Society are both considered orthodox, but in reality... hehe."

Approval ratings have begun to fluctuate.

Before Elf Arc Light even started discussing policies or setting conditions, simply revealing its identity boosted its approval rating by ten percentage points.

"If it really is the Divine Sound Society 'descending to earth,' then it's not impossible for 96511 to rise to four digits!"

Many people think so.

Approval ratings continue to tilt.

Phoenix City and its surrounding area.

A convoy stopped on the road, and everyone got out of their cars and looked up at the sky.

Three days later, the "First Conquest" will begin.

Zuo Chang was taken aback: "Are you taking me back to my parents' home?"

Zuo Chang looked at the elf on the sky curtain and laughed, "Is it really her? I felt that the name 'Arc Light' sounded familiar when I first heard it."

His eyes flickered, clearly he was thinking.

He turned to look at Bai Lin, whose eyes were bloodshot with rage, and said, "Bai Lin, is she the traitor?"

Zuo Chang nodded: "However, my relationship with her is very bad, almost to the point of being irreconcilable. I used flattery to control her back then."

The year of Jiazi can end very quickly.

Feiniao did not mean to belittle Zuo Chang.

It was Zuo Chang and others.

Ultimately, it was because Zuo Chang was too weak.

The year 60 will directly transform into a "battle for destiny," with both sides entering a life-or-death second phase. If Zuo Chang is defeated in this struggle, then...

Once the video is released, the public, with their choice between the two sides, will likely vote with their feet.

Three days later, during the "first campaign," Asuka had no idea how to win.

No one present spoke as they stared at Bai Lin's distorted face.

"Ah."

Bai Lin has calmed down.

Arc light has the power to draw out hatred.

If the favorability rating is negative, its bonus almost surpasses any other buff skill, reaching a terrifying number.

The inevitable "battle for destiny" that followed also showed no chance of victory.

After a lengthy formality, she began, “People of 96511! Just days ago, a despicable rat, a vile thief, used underhanded means to start the Black Goat game of grace. Lord Qian Wuyi and the postman both perished because of his schemes. His greed and shamelessness have already incurred the wrath of the goddess. Are you really willing to entrust your future to a thief?”

Blood Rose looked at the approval ratings and said, "General, the approval ratings are not optimistic. Seventy percent of people already believe that Arc Light will win. Should we also issue a statement to counterattack?"

As a general known for his ruthless rule and efficiency, Zuo Chang had long been accustomed to being rebelled against.

Zuo Chang was unaware of what happened afterward.

He knew the "Year of Jiazi" instance like the back of his hand.

Bai Lin tried to calm himself down.

The Divine Sound Sect won't give you a chance to develop.

"Draw on Hatred": You can draw power from hatred and loathing. The lower your affinity with your 'Monarch', the stronger you become in combat.

As far as she knew, the headquarters of the Divine Sound Society was in Community 23, and it controlled nearly a hundred four-digit communities and thousands of five-digit communities!

An opponent of this size can truly be described as a behemoth!

Shenyin could leak out a tiny bit of power from between her fingers, which would probably be enough to crush Zuo Chang!

That's why Zuo Chang deliberately lowered his level of affection for her and drove her to fight many tough battles.

Birds don't recognize arc light.

Zuo Chang can also choose to continue the dungeon.
