In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

This arrow carried Jiang Qingyue's strongest attack, and since no one was prepared, no one present could withstand it.

When the ice arrow pierced his heart, the leader of District 13 couldn't accept it: "You lied to me."

Jiang Qingyue understood the disappointment in the other person's eyes, but had no other choice: "I'm sorry. I am the leader of the human race first, and Jiang Qingyue only second."

The leader of District 13 wanted to ask, why her? With so many people present, why did Jiang Qingyue choose to kill her?

But she couldn't hear Jiang Qingyue's reply.

"Crack!" A pile of broken ice appeared on the ground.

Jiang Qingyue grabbed the other party's personal terminal and, without pausing, shot an arrow at the leader of District 59, who was still in shock.

This was her initial goal.

Before stepping into the ring, the person she most wanted to kill was the leader of District 59.

Compared to the two unlucky guys in Districts 55 and 77 who got stones, the leader of District 59 had a genuine, high-performance quantum computer.

In addition, the leader of District 59 is not weak himself, and he also has the personal computers of those people who committed suicide in District 59. He is definitely a rich dog.

"It's fake, it's all fake." The leader of District 5 barely managed to avoid it and tried to escape, only to find that Districts 1, 33, and 34 had already surrounded her.

Facing four opponents without any losses, Jiang Qingyue had absolutely no chance of winning.

The only thing she could do was hold on. If she was lucky, she could hold on until the God's hand came down and her life would be saved.

"Hurry up, don't hold back!" The peach branch of the giant peach in District 33 danced wildly.

The others felt a sense of shared sorrow, but would they dare to make a move?

Jiang Qingyue's arrows kill whoever they strike.

The leader of District 59 roared, "Are you just going to stand by and watch? This is only the first round. If I die, you'll be next!"

Upon hearing this, the leaders wavered somewhat.

The leader of District 8 has resorted to any means necessary to ensure the survival of his race.

Top experts died one after another, and the stronger they were, the faster they died.

By the second round, they might be in more danger than their subordinates.

They were all decisive; once they had thought things through, they acted immediately.

Jiang Qingyue saw through their purpose at a glance. The leaders of the first, third, and fourth districts had been slacking off the whole time and hadn't consumed much energy. She herself hadn't consumed any energy at all and her combat power had remained at its peak.

With two ranged attackers, one defensive, and one melee fighter, this configuration was far too weak for them to possibly win. Their only objective was to stall.

With the death of the leader of District 13, only the final ten victors remained on the stage.

There was a two-second window between the barrier disappearing and the God's hand falling. They only needed to join forces with the leader of District 59 to buy themselves those two seconds.

"I won." The leader of District 59 looked at Jiang Qingyue with delight.

Except for the two that were wrapped in cocoons.

With three people helping her and three helping Jiang Qingyue, it's four against four. Holding them off for two seconds is no problem at all.

Jiang Qingyue remained silent as the ice arrow took shape and grew thicker, its violent power felt by everyone present even before it left the bowstring.

With a loosening of his grip, he aimed directly at the leader of District 59.

"Dare you stop me?" Jiang Qingyue murmured.

No one can stop her arrow; it's bound to take a life—either the leader of District 59 or the one standing in her way.

There's no need to choose between your own life and the life of a temporary ally.

As the deadly crisis approached, the man in front of the District 59 leader narrowly escaped without any hesitation.

"Click".

The moment the leader of District 59 turned into shattered ice, the Supreme God's hand fell.

Big Peach from District 33 used a peach branch to snatch the quantum computer, and the three of them gathered around Jiang Qingyue.

The two creatures hiding in the cocoon also came out on their own.

The supreme deity is extracting the lifespan of the dead.

No one spoke on the ring, and no one cheered below.

Whether dead or alive, they were all pitiful victims of this experiment.

The real culprit is right in front of them, bestowing rewards in the name of God. They can do nothing but obey the rules and desperately accept them.

No one is immune to hatred, but the hatred of the weak cannot change anything.

Perhaps because she was still young, Jiang Qingyue didn't feel much when the lifespan was injected into her body.

"Congratulations to everyone for surviving. I hereby declare the first round of eliminations officially over."

"Everyone will have a day off. During the rest period, no moving around or fighting is allowed. After one day, the second round of the ranking competition will be held. The experimental zone with the lowest ranking will be eliminated."

The leader of District 34 reached out to take back his translator, but Jiang Qingyue quickly grabbed it and asked with her eyes: What do you want to do?

"I need to use it."

Jiang Qingyue held the translator to her lips but didn't let go: "Go ahead."

The leader of District 34 was speechless: "Are you even going to steal from your own people?"

"I'm just borrowing it temporarily," Jiang Qingyue said, justifying her actions with a self-righteous tone.

Seeing the giant hand quickly retract, the leader of District 34 had no choice but to call out, "Lord God, wait a minute. Um, I want to ask, now that several districts' top 100 players have all died, and they have no one left to fight, can we determine that they are ranked last?"

The others also looked at the main god with expectant eyes.

This time, each district suffered heavy losses. If a second round of fighting could be avoided and those who died could be ranked last, then they could return alive.

"Rules cannot be changed arbitrarily."

When the God of Eternal Winter said this, everyone almost rolled their eyes to the sky. No one knew who had changed the rules at the last minute.

Jiang Qingyue asked, "But now that several districts are eliminated and no one is playing, they're destined to be last. There's no point in us competing for this ranking in the second round. Why don't we just go home and find our own mothers?"

"Who said that?" The God of Eternal Winter asked with a playful tone.

This gave Jiang Qingyue a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next sentence from that damned god almost made her die of anger.

"Those who are all dead are all last place."

"Those of you who are alive will compete in a ranking tournament, organized by district. The one who finishes last will be tied for last place with those who died."

Everyone's expression changed drastically, which meant that there would be multiple last-place finishers.

In other words, several experimental zones will be directly eliminated in this All-Heavens Arena Tournament.

"This is not fair!" someone shouted.

Does the eternal winter god care about fairness?

I can't even be bothered to reply.

The giant hand vanished into the sky, leaving behind only despair for everyone.

Jiang Qingyue silently turned to look at the big peach in District 33 and reached out: "Give it to me."

"Take what?" Big Peach still pretended to be stupid.

Jiang Qingyue was almost laughing in anger. This guy, relying on the fact that his peach branches could extend, had just stolen the leader's personal computer from District 59.

That's not just the District 59 leader's personal terminal; that guy also has Big Fat Cloud's personal terminal.

This peach stole the personal computers of two supreme experts, and yet it still dares to pretend to be stupid.

Jiang Qingyue ignored her and grabbed it directly.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of peach fuzz.

"It itches." Big Peach wriggled its plump body.

"Give me back my two personal computers, or I'll dry your little peach into dried peaches when I get back."

"The little brat is still young." Big Peach tried to awaken Jiang Qingyue's conscience.

"Then let's make them into dried peaches."

"..." Big Peach reminded, "We are allies."

"That's why I didn't shoot you. Give it back to me now."

Big Peach compromised: "Can I just return one?"

"No..." Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed: "Okay, but I want the leader of District 59."

"Oh." Big Peach took out the 59th District Chief's personal computer from her own space and handed it to Jiang Qingyue.

I'm so glad I still have Big Fat Cloud's personal terminal.

The next instant, it dawned on him that the leader of District 59 had a spatial dimension. That guy must have stuffed the quantum computer into his spatial dimension after obtaining Big Fat Cloud's quantum computer, and the spatial backpack was bound to the quantum computer...

So Big Fat Cloud's personal computer is in the Chief's personal computer in District 59...

"You're cheating." She was about to reach out and grab it.

Jiang Qingyue quickly threw the quantum computer into her own space, leaving Big Peach empty-handed.

Big Peach: "Give it back to me!"

"What else?" Jiang Qingyue shrugged. "We agreed that Da Pangyun's personal computer and the leader of District 59's personal computer would each be one of us. You gave me the leader of District 59's personal computer, but I didn't see Da Pangyun's personal computer."

Big Peach: "Big Fat Cloud's quantum computer is in the quantum computer space of the leader of District 59."

"Really? How would I know? I can't integrate with the Sector 59 leader's personal terminal right now, and I can't open her spatial backpack either. Maybe Big Fat Cloud's personal terminal isn't even in there?"

"How is that possible?" Big Peach was furious.

She was angry at Jiang Qingyue's cunning, and also angry at herself for being slow to react.

Just as I was about to continue arguing, a sound came from the sky again.

"Oh, I almost forgot." The voice of the Eternal Winter God appeared again.

With a wave of her hand, Jiang Qingyue and the others were all sent back to their original positions: "Take a good rest, I look forward to your performance in a day."

"Sister Xiaoyue!" Long Jiuxing cried uncontrollably, and while crying, he took out a Plant Doctor Essence and stuffed it into her mouth.

Knowing that he was covered in blood and his flesh was torn open, which was quite frightening, Jiang Qingyue wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't eat this girl. So, she obediently swallowed the food, and in no time all her external injuries were healed.

Apart from the tattered clothes that looked rather shabby, there was nothing wrong with them.

"Holy crap!" Chen Sanyang, sitting on the edge of the second row, withdrew his hand with a dark expression.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yuyao asked.

"Boss, the main god is obviously afraid that we'll cause any more trouble, so he's forbidding us to move. I just reached out and touched an invisible wall, and I can't get over it no matter what I do."

"I'll give it a try."

Everyone took turns testing the waters.

They discovered that they could only stay in their own area, which was the original area of ​​the eighth district, with a total of one hundred seats. They could only move between these one hundred seats, like a small prison cell.

Wang Defa, a tiny figure, lay sprawled on the seat, making the seat seem incredibly spacious: "I have this feeling that this was done on purpose for Jiang Shen. It's to prevent Jiang Shen from causing trouble again."

The others were silent for a moment.

Believe it or not, that's highly likely.

Among the district leaders, Jiang Qingyue was the most active. She tried to win over almost everyone, whether they were capable of being won over or not.

The chaos outside the arena, which led to the deaths of several races before they even made it to the second round, was largely caused by Jiang Qingyue.

"So, what do we do now?" Nangong Zhao pulled out a rubber band from somewhere and tied up his unusually long, wavy hair. "Captain Jiang, any suggestions?"

"What advice do you have? Fight with your life on the line."

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Chen Sanyang was getting a little cocky now: "I think we still have a chance of winning."

"Even with Jiang Shen being so strong, all of us in the top ten are still alive and well. In terms of individual district combat strength, among all the surviving races, our Eighth District is the strongest."

"If we can still be ranked last, we'll be too ashamed to show our faces."

"That's not necessarily true." Jiang Qingyue said solemnly, "Don't forget the time-stopping device."

Everyone's expression turned solemn.

This thing is arguably the most unsolvable among all special items. They only saw it this time, but didn't know the specifics.

Jiang Qingyue proactively explained, "Based on the serial number of the time stop device I obtained, we can confirm that our Eighth District God deployed a total of five time stop devices."

"Four of them appeared in the first round alone. Even though the leader of District 13 died, there are still three people present who have time-stopping devices."

"It can only be used once a day. Now we are forced to rest for a day, which means that by the time of the second round of battle, at least three people will be able to use the time stop device."

"But don't forget, this world is never short of sixth men. Some people may also have time-stopping devices, they just haven't used them yet."

"And there won't be fewer." Zhao Mingyue added, "Judging from the initial combat power, our Eighth District is the weakest, so we should have deployed relatively fewer special items, but we still deployed five time-stopping devices."

"The number of other major experimental zones will only increase, not decrease."

"The probability of the top 100 individuals possessing special items is much higher, but so far only four have appeared, which is actually unreasonable."

Everyone fell silent.

Zhao Mingyue and Jiang Qingyue are right.

Even if we take the eighth district as an example, if each experimental district has five time-stoppers, then with one hundred experimental districts, that would be five hundred time-stoppers.

Those who can participate in the All-Heavens Arena Tournament are all top 100 experts from each region, totaling 10,000 people. Among these 10,000 experts, only four people actually brought out the Time Stopper, which is indeed a small number.

Everyone is racking their brains. The only downside of this time-stopping device is that it's limited; it can only be used once a day, and the duration is short, measured in seconds.

For example, Jiang Qingyue's can only pause for one second each day.

It sounds like a short time, but a lot can be done in a second. With Jiang Qingyue's current strength, she can shoot four ice arrows in a second, enough to take four lives.

Even if they are slightly weaker, killing one of them in a second is not a problem.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Qingyue asked, "Who among you has the strongest defense?"

Nangong Zhao realized what was happening: "You need to use the strongest defense to fight against the time stopper."

Jiang Qingyue nodded. Having seen four time stoppers, she had some idea of ​​what to do. The strongest time stopper should last for nine seconds, while the worst was the one she had, which could only stop for one second.

In the few seconds that follow, when there is no time to react, one can only rely on strong defenses to hold on.

For example, the cocoon-like device used by those two people on stage earlier—if the cocoon isn't broken within those few seconds, the time-stopping device won't work.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't do that; she was known as the most fragile person in the Eighth District.

Once time is stopped, even a weakling with 400,000 combat power could kill her several times over.

"No?" Jiang Qingyue pressed, seeing everyone silent.

Wang Defa sighed, "I used to focus on defense, but now that I have a new skin, my defense is much weaker than before."
