Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Zuo Chang turned his head and frowned: "Mr. Mu, you look even more unprofessional than I am."

……

……

Ding!

Ding!

The sound of chiseling echoed through the mine.

A man with curly hair, wearing boots and a vest, dressed like an aristocrat, sat at a simple table, swirling a wine glass.

He lazily raised his eyes, looked at the dozen or so miners in front of him who were drenched in sweat, and asked, "Are you tired? If you are, take a rest."

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The noble youth's gentle words seemed like a death warrant.

The miners, who had seemed a little listless just moments before, suddenly became incredibly energetic, frantically chiseling at the rocks. At their feet were baskets filled with a thin layer of blood-red pigeon eggs, which looked extremely luxurious.

"Oh!"

There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

The young nobleman looked up and saw a miner lying on the ground for no apparent reason, unable to get up.

"Ugh."

He sighed and said, "The ore you're mining is called 'Blood Tears.' It's called that because it's extremely difficult to mine! The places where Blood Tears are found have very low oxygen levels. If a weak person gets close, they'll quickly faint from lack of oxygen, let alone you who are doing heavy physical labor."

"Normally, I would have let you rest. But now... time is limited."

He waved his hand, and a burst of blood mist erupted!

Those dozen or so miners, every single one of them, were reduced to a pile of minced meat!

The young nobleman reached out and moved a device on the table in front of him. The device looked like an old-fashioned rotary dial telephone. The young nobleman inserted his finger into the hole of the dial and began to dial.

"How cruel!"

The sound suddenly rang out.

The young nobleman's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up!

He turned his head and saw an old man and a young man strolling leisurely towards him.

It was Zuo Chang and Mu Suogen!

Zuo Chang looked at the golden device in his hand and said, "A sacred artifact, a slave device. By sacrificing living people with blood, it can seal 'living people' inside the device. You can summon them again just by pressing the dial... Brother, this thing is actually unusable, it's very inhumane!"

The young nobleman narrowed his eyes: "Who are you? How do you know about the 'slave device'?"

"Why are you so nervous? Are there any 'outsiders' in this place?"

Zuo Chang walked in with a smile, appearing neither wary nor hostile.

He laughed and said, "Whose orders are you following? Slave devices are no good; one use can cost ten or more lives."

Alright! It's definitely past midnight!

Chapter 249 Time is passing faster

The young nobleman looked at Zuo Chang suspiciously, wondering about his background.

Musogen looked at Zuo Chang suspiciously, thinking to himself, "Is this... improvisation? It's not entirely unreasonable. This ruin gives me a very strange feeling. Every time I come here, I can feel my 'ambition.' In addition, this is a spacetime limited by the 'sacred artifact'..."

Perhaps the people of Community 1 didn't expect that people from other communities could enter.

but--

Young nobles are actually quite perceptive.

As a world-renowned financial tycoon, the Hersey family certainly has its share of dissolute and spoiled members. But the fact that they've reached the top at least proves that the upper echelons are very stable.

Such an important place as the "Mysterious Dungeon" would certainly select the best of the best clansmen to enter, and it would be impossible for anyone to be just a mediocre person.

All those qualified to enter this place are managed in a closed environment.

They are not allowed to communicate with the outside world, and their daily necessities are delivered by special personnel. They are subject to "ideological review" every once in a while.

Three months of living together in a group, and their high social standing, had already made the aristocratic young man familiar with each of his "teammates."

therefore……

The moment he saw Zuo Chang, he realized: the enemy!

The black-haired youth in front of him clearly thought he was mentally challenged, speaking in ambiguous terms as if trying to extract some information from him.

Come on then.

The young nobleman reached into his pocket, gently grasped a jade pendant, and looked at Zuo Chang with a hint of malice.

The jade pendant in their pocket is a life-saving measure for every Hesei.

It only takes a little time to get started.

The young man, with an arrogant expression, slightly raised his chin and asked, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

"You must have a bad memory. You've seen me before, have you forgotten?" Zuo Chang said calmly. "At our wedding ceremony that day, you were holding flowers, standing right behind me."

Bang!

The chair fell to the ground.

Zuo Chang looked up at the young nobleman who was so surprised that he stood up abruptly, even overturning his chair, and laughed, "Willon Hessé, are you that surprised?"

"You...who are you?"

How do you know my background?

and many more……

This face...

Willen Hessé stared wide-eyed at Zuo Chang's face: "Impossible! You should be dead!"

"Yes, you must all think I'm dead."

Click.

Zuo Chang raised his finger and dialed the slave device on the table: "This thing is mine. Back then, I led my men to seal away 'Capital Demon Soros,' and found this sacred artifact in his bedroom. You can't just mess with my things... Your Hesei family already considers me a dead man!"

what? What?

What are you talking about?

Mu Suogen stood behind Zuo Chang and realized that Zuo Chang had lost control of the situation.

Do you know these two people in front of you?

The Heavenly King General had come back from the dead and reappeared before him. Velen Hessé was so shocked that he was stunned and even found it difficult to breathe.

For no apparent reason, he asked, "You...you...you've come for revenge?"

Zuo Chang was surprised. What revenge?

In that moment, he thought about many things.

Especially the warning Blood Rose gave him when he first met Tianwang City and Blood Rose.

"I don't recommend that you go see your last wife."

"There is evidence that the reason your community is now fragmented is because the Hesei clan is behind it; some also speculate that the reason the God-Slaying War failed was because the Hesei were secretly plotting against you!"

Zuo Chang's face remained calm, with only a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth.

He looked at Wei Lun and said, word by word, "I have dominated my entire life! I never imagined that I would be defeated by a villain!"

what? !

This……

Wei Lun trembled slightly.

Before today, everything was wonderful. Under Chief Hese's command, they truly pushed General Tianwang into the abyss and smoothly eroded Community 1.

It's only a matter of time before they truly seize that prestigious position.

but now……

The dead have returned from hell!

The Heavenly King General sat right in front of Wei Lun. The vanity and sense of accomplishment he had gained from "scheming against the Heavenly King General" had now turned into fear.

Wei Lun felt a chill run down his spine, and his face turned ashen.

On the other side...

Zuo Chang looked at the young man's expression with a slight sense of disbelief.

The first incredible thing is that even though the Heavenly King is dead, his remaining power still exists.

Look how scared they are, they can't even stand up straight.

The second unbelievable thing is, could it be that the Hessian family really was causing trouble behind the scenes?

Zuo Chang pondered silently and concluded that the possibility was slim.

Everything in the game is data-driven; who is loyal and who betrays is immediately clear. The Hersey family truly provides Zuo Chang with massive financial support; without their funding, Zuo Chang's equipment could never have reached its peak.

After much thought, I believe the Hersey family did not betray me.

They were simply disloyal.

They were opportunists who, from the outset, judged that Zuo Chang's "war to kill gods" was absolutely doomed to fail. Their full support for Zuo Chang was merely fueling his madness, so that—

It hastened its demise.

After Zuo Chang's demise, they seized the fruits of victory and successfully took control of Community No. 1.

After having a vague guess in his mind, Zuo Chang asked, "Is my seat comfortable?"

"Goo."

Willen Hessé swallowed hard.
