I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

The moment the system announcement sounded, everyone in the entire 21st district—whether it was a team fighting in a dungeon, a lone wolf leveling up in the wild, or a casual player strolling and chatting in the main city—stopped what they were doing.

Everyone looked up, as if they could see the golden characters flowing slowly across the sky.

"Seeing flowers through the fog?"

"It's him again?!"

"Legendary set component? [Fragment - 2 Points]? What is this?"

After a brief silence, the world chat and the chat channels of various guilds were instantly flooded with countless messages.

"Holy crap! Did I hear that right? It's that 'Seeing Through the Fog' expert again?"

"Didn't he just lead his team to the first clear of Zul'Farrak and level up three times in one day? How did he manage to make headlines again?"

"Is this even fair? He single-handedly drained all the luck from our entire District 21!"

"It's more than just luck, I feel like he's sucking my liver dry. I grind all day and my experience bar doesn't even budge, while he levels up three times a day. I finally manage to collect a full set of good gear, while he's already collecting legendary sets."

"Stop talking, I want to delete this account..."

The forum was filled with lamentations.

Countless ordinary players felt a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration in the face of Li Wu's miraculous skills.

Some people are envious.

Some people are jealous.

But for most people, it comes from the heart: awe and admiration for the strong.

"As expected of the president of 'Myth,' this is the true Myth!"

"From today onwards, I'm a die-hard fan of the 'Seeing Flowers Through the Fog' master. I'll fight anyone who criticizes him!"

"Is the Myth Guild still recruiting? Even sweeping is fine! Looking for a powerful member to join!"

……

Meanwhile, the reactions of the various guilds were also quite different.

Qianjin Pavilion, the headquarters of the Myth Guild.

Hua Zitong was discussing the guild's next development plan with Lin Hai, Gangdun, and others.

When the system announcement sounded, the entire conference room fell silent.

Everyone looked up, their faces showing shock, followed by ecstatic joy.

"It's the president!" Steel Shield slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly, "I knew it! The president's skills are undeniable!"

"A legendary set! My god, which god's cave did the guild leader raid this time?" Bull's eyes were full of stars.

Lin Hai jumped up from his chair, grabbed his abacus, and started rapidly moving his fingers while muttering to himself.

"Legendary set components...this commercial value,this brand effect...my lord, my dear guild leader, you are the walking golden signboard of our Mythical Guild!"

Only Hua Zitong, after the initial shock, slowly curled up a knowing smile at the corner of her mouth.

There wasn't much surprise in her eyes, but rather a sense of relief that "just as I expected" and a hint of barely perceptible pride.

She knew that the man would be the most dazzling presence in any crowd, no matter where he went.

She was happy for him.

……

The headquarters of the Ironblood Alliance guild.

"Bang!"

An expensive magical porcelain cup was smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Seeing flowers through the fog!"

Iron Blood Banner's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

He stared intently at the system announcement, his teeth grinding together.

It is him again!

It's Myth Guild again!

Since this guild rose to prominence, their Iron Blood Alliance has been suppressed in every way.

My copy of the data was stolen.

The ranking list was completely wiped out.

Where does this leave the guild leader of the super guild who aspires to become the overlord of District 21?

"President, we..." the vice president beside him said cautiously.

"Investigate!" Iron Banner roared. "Mobilize everyone to find out where this [Fragment 2] dropped! I want to get one too!"

He was completely blinded by jealousy.

He couldn't accept being so thoroughly crushed by an individual and a guild.

……

The Rise of the Storm Guild.

Feng Yun Jiu Tian listened quietly to the system announcement, his face expressionless.

He simply picked up the teacup and gently blew on the steam rising from it.

"The higher you fly, the harder you fall," he said calmly. "Although the Myth Guild is currently enjoying immense success, they have also become a thorn in everyone's side. The tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind. We'll just wait and see."

……

Sword and Rose Guild.

Sword Pointing at Rose, she looked at the system announcement, her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest.

"This man always manages to surprise me," she chuckled softly. "It seems that my initial investment was the best decision I've ever made in my life."

……

Just as the entire District 21 was in an uproar because of Li Wu.

Li Wu, who was at the center of the incident, was completely unaware of it.

He stood in the empty treasure vault, somewhat bewildered.

"That's... all?"

He looked at the empty treasure chest, and then at the mountains of treasures around him that he could only look at but not take, and felt as if he had been tricked.

After all that, this so-called "secret treasure" only contains one [Fragment 2 Points]?

They won't even give us a decent piece of equipment?

That's incredibly stingy!

Li Wu muttered to himself as he prepared to leave the instance.

However, just as he turned around, preparing to walk towards the portal leading to the outside world...

A voice, even grander and more majestic than before, resounded without warning throughout all thirty-six districts of "Origin Realm," reaching every corner and the ears of every player!

[Server-wide announcement: The first drop of "divine blood" has fallen, the slumbering ancient gods are about to awaken, and the forgotten war will once again rage on...]

[Server-wide Announcement: The major world event – ​​"The Burning Crusade" – is about to begin!]

Countdown: 23:59:59

The moment the grand and majestic server-wide announcement rang out, all the players in the entire "Origin Realm" who were making noise, fighting, or trading fell into an eerie silence, as if they had been frozen in place.

"A server-wide announcement?"

"Did I hear that right? The whole server?"

"A major global event? The Burning Crusade?"

After a brief period of deathly silence came a global uproar, a frenzy of excitement that swept the globe!

Unlike the previous regional announcements that only rang within District 21, this time, it was addressed to all servers and all players!

This means that an unprecedented and massive transformation affecting everyone is about to begin!

"Blood of the gods? Ancient gods awakening? What kind of plot is this? It sounds incredibly awesome!"

"The Burning Crusade! Holy crap, that name screams world war!"

"Look! A countdown timer has appeared on the system interface! There are 24 hours left!"

"What will happen in 24 hours? I can't wait!"

After the initial shock, countless players felt an unprecedented excitement and anticipation.

They were like a group of children about to attend a grand carnival, excitedly dancing and gesturing.

However, those who truly stand at the top of the pyramid—the leaders of major guilds and the top players who have intricate connections with national power—react quite differently.

Their faces showed no excitement, only solemnity.
