The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

That question, clearly provocative, echoed distinctly through the noisy crowd.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

All eyes were focused on the two groups of people in front of the portal.

Yi Jianshuang's brows twitched, and he slowly turned to look at the person.

The surrounding players instinctively took a few steps back, afraid of being drawn into this conflict between top players.

"They're from the 'Myth' guild! The one leading them is Qingtian!"

"Hiss... Why are they here too? This is going to be interesting. The top ten on the ladder are going up against the main elite team of 'Myth'!"

"Qingtian is trying to establish his authority by using the great god Mofang!"

Amid the murmurs, the heavily armored man known as "Skybreaker," who was also the guild leader of "Myth," maintained his forced, insincere smile.

His shield was covered in golden inscriptions, clearly indicating that it was a high-quality Origin Weapon.

This piece of equipment is the source of his confidence.

However, to everyone's surprise, it happened.

Faced with this almost blatant provocation, Mo Fang simply glanced at him calmly and then shrugged indifferently.

"it is good."

A single word, light and airy, instantly plunged the scene into deathly silence.

Qingtian's smile froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting the other party to agree so readily. This caused him to swallow back all the words he had prepared, leaving him feeling stuck and uncomfortable.

But he quickly realized what was happening and burst into laughter, his laughter filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"Hahaha! Master Mo Fang is truly insightful and understands the ways of the world!"

"I'll remember this favor."

With that, he waved his hand and led the hundreds of elite members of the Myth Guild behind him, walking past Mo Fang and the others with their heads held high and their heads held high, stepping first into the dark blue teleportation portal.

The other casual players around were dumbfounded.

"This...you just gave in like that?"

"Did the great master Mo Fang... chicken out?"

"What's going on? I thought we were going to fight! And this is all?"

Some players who were originally full of admiration for Mo Fang now showed expressions of disappointment.

In their view, this was not humility, but cowardice.

Sword Frost was furious, his lungs practically bursting with rage. He lowered his voice and roared in the team chat, "Mo Fang! How can you tolerate this? Do you know what this means?"

"It doesn't mean anything." Mo Fang's reply remained calm: "The dungeon entrance has just stabilized, it's impossible for it to disappear so quickly, it'll just be a minute or two earlier or later."

"But if things really escalate, then it's uncertain whether we'll be able to get in."

Taking a step back opens up a whole new world; he didn't want to get into conflict with others here and delay his entry into the instance.

"That's all?" A chilling voice rose eight octaves: "This is a matter of advancement versus retreat! Why are you pretending to be confused? I refuse to believe you can't understand what that guy means!"

"This is clearly a complete disregard for us! You may lose face, but I still do."

"And I can practically guess that it won't be long before this video of him making way is all over the place!"

Although Leng Yue and the other team members did not speak, their solemn expressions clearly indicated that they agreed with Yi Jian Shuang Han's view.

Mo Fang suddenly smiled and said, "So what if I have a sword? It's never about what others say."

He paused, watching the last member of the Myth Guild disappear into the portal, before slowly adding.

"It depends on what I want to do."

"What's the difference?" Frosty Sword was still indignant. "Didn't you still make way for the Myth Guild members? A fact is a fact!"

Mo Fang turned his head and spoke softly in an almost innocent tone.

"Mythical Guild?"

Where can I find any mythical guilds?

Yi Jian Shuang Han was completely stunned. He stared at Mo Fang for a long time before finally managing to stammer, "??? You...you're out of your mind?"

Mo Fang didn't explain further, but simply shrugged and stepped into the enormous portal.

Light and shadow distort, space shifts.

After a slight dizziness, the scene before everyone's eyes suddenly became clear.

They arrived at a magnificent hall that defied description.

The entire hall seemed to be cast from a dark golden metal, with a smooth, mirror-like floor that reflected the energy nodes on the dome that flowed slowly like stars.

The walls are engraved with incredibly intricate patterns, like circuit diagrams of some ancient civilization, emitting a faint light that illuminates the entire space.

The air was filled with a metallic, cold, and absolutely silent atmosphere.

This is the first level of the God King's Tomb—the Golden Palace.

"How spectacular..." The fire mage player in the team couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Just then, several metal floor panels on the smooth ground silently flipped over, and a dozen humanoid structures, each over three meters tall, rose from them.

These constructs were made entirely of the same dark gold metal, each wielding a light blade, and their single red eye lit up, locking onto Mo Fang and his group.

"Watch out!" The shield warrior immediately raised his shield and stepped forward.

However, before he could even get into position, Mo Fang's figure had already transformed into a blur and rushed out.

The daggers flashed, their cold light gleaming.

Those seemingly indestructible metal structures were as fragile as paper under Mo Fang's attack; their joints were precisely severed, and their energy cores were pierced instantly.

In less than ten seconds, all the dozen or so constructs collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of scrap metal, and then decomposed into countless points of light, disappearing completely.

[Ding! You have defeated the 'Golden Palace Guardian']

[Warning: Monster corpses in this area cannot be retrieved.]

Upon hearing the suggestion, everyone frowned slightly but didn't have much of an opinion.

After all, they didn't enter the instance for the sake of these Source Crystals.

After clearing out the first wave of mobs, the team continued to advance deeper into the main hall.

Just as they crossed the central axis of the main hall, the entire Golden Hall suddenly trembled!

Ahead, at the deepest part of the main hall, the colossal door, hundreds of meters high, creaked open slowly to both sides with a teeth-grinding sound.

A sense of oppression a hundred times stronger than before surged out from behind the door!

A colossal creature emerged from the darkness with heavy steps.

It was a colossal construct, five hundred meters tall, its size resembling a moving mountain.

The monster's body was pieced together from countless huge dark gold metal blocks, and its shoulders and back were covered with densely packed cannons and energy emitters.

Its head is a huge single eye, which is flashing a destructive crimson light.

With such a size, you can tell without even looking that it's a leader-level monster!

Yi Jian Shuang Han and the others immediately assumed a fighting stance, their expressions more solemn than ever before.

The monster's size and imposing presence far surpassed any enemy they had ever encountered before.

But then a strange thing happened.

The mountain-like leader monster suddenly paused upon seeing Mo Fang and the other ten people.

Its enormous single eye flashed a few times with a crimson light, but instead of locking onto its target and launching an attack, it revealed a hint of...human...bewilderment?
