Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

"Our leader, like Kasukabe Takaaki before him, will certainly continue the ideals of the Grand Alliance." "Mr. Takaaki? I see. We, too, and Leader Sarah have always hoped for the restoration of the Grand Alliance."

The strange cat Galolo understood immediately after hearing this. Isn't this just like their dragon-horned eagle lion? The leader serves as a guarantee of military force, while the actual management of the community is handed over to professionals.

Then the alliance between the Griffin Lion and Arcadia must be preserved.

Li Xuan and Sarah's casual chat also ended at the right time. Now that they had reached a consensus, there would inevitably be more exchanges between Arcadia and the Griffin Lion.

The last person to appear was naturally Bai Yasha. As the ruler of the East District, she had to show up. After saying a lot of words to praise Wuming, she officially handed over the documents of the outer sect ruler to Li Xuan under the attention of everyone, indicating the recognition of the upper-level gods and Buddhas for the community to serve as the outer sect ruler.

Then the first day of the Harvest Festival ended without any incident.

Chapter 69: Hercules Arrives

In fact, Li Xuan and the people of Arcadia had long anticipated the calmness of the first day, because on the first day of the harvest festival as the new outer sect ruler, Shiroyasha, as the class ruler, was bound to end up in trouble. Neither Athena nor the Ouroboros Alliance had to insist on slapping Shiroyasha in the face.

But what was a little unexpected was that the harvest festival on the second day was also very peaceful. Various communities carried out various gift games at the harvest festival. Millions of people played at the harvest festival, looking peaceful and harmonious.

The three problem children also chose a lot of interesting gift games to participate in, with some winning and some losing.

Among them, Izayoi Sakamaki gained the most. With four-digit strength and a strong mind, although she didn't make many moves, she was blessed with a starting strength of six digits.

Jiuyuan Fei Niao gained a lot at the beginning, but was entangled by Jiuyuan Cai Niao halfway. Facing Jiuyuan Cai Niao, Jiuyuan Fei Niao could not control her anger and competed with her in various gift games, and was almost completely defeated.

As for Kasukabe Yō, after hearing about the arrival of the Dragonhorn Eagle Lion Alliance, she stopped participating in the Gift Game and instead went to the place where the Dragonhorn Eagle Lion lived to make friends. This was her sincerity and also her way of becoming stronger. She collected information from all life forms, took samples from the "Catalog" 487, and then "evolved" and "synthesized" them, creating a single system tree that allowed the holder to continue to evolve, and could even simulate the power of the "strongest species".

As soon as Sarah and the strange cat Galoro saw Kasukabe Yō's appearance, they knew that she was the daughter of an old friend, so they took extra care of her and became very close to the members under her command.

This is not surprising, as Ryukyuu Lion is a member of the Big Alliance, and Kasukabe Yo's father, Kasukabe Takaaki, has a very good relationship with Ryukyuu Lion. Because of his love for Ryukyuu Lion, Kasukabe Yo's journey as a friend is smooth sailing.

Then came the third day, and still nothing happened. The bored Izayoi Sakamaki ran back. He had been on guard for several days in vain.

"Where are the enemies we promised you? The Harvest Festival only lasts five days, and it's already the third day. I wonder if they won't show up."

In fact, it's not that they didn't come, but that they couldn't come. The Ouroboros Alliance sent Kalgis and his subordinates from the Third Alliance on the first day, and also sent Maxwell, the paradox demon who possessed the gift of realm.

With two four-digit leaders and a few five-digit figures in the lead, it is impossible to defeat the newly emerged Wuming directly. After all, Black Rabbit, Leticia, Li Xuan and Alger are suspected to have four four-digit combat powers. However, after a lot of destruction, Wuming will not be able to stop them, and it will be easy to retreat with Maxwell there.

But Bai Yasha would have been fine, after all, he couldn't stay for long. As a result, the two strongest communities in the South District, Avalon and Griffin Lion, came, and the strongest community in the North District also came. These communities have a close relationship with Arcadia.

If Kalji attacked the Harvest Festival at this time, it would obviously not be a good idea. He might face a four-digit number of people around ten, which was obviously something Kalji did not want to see. He only had five-digit men, and there would be no way to escape by then.

Kalji could only lie dormant and wait for the opportunity, but what troubled him was that Maxwell went crazy here.

"Oh! Vera, my Vera, we haven't communicated with each other, but we can meet here. This must be because we are in sync with each other, it must be fate..."

Maxwell kept clamoring to meet Vera. Are you kidding me? How could this be possible? If Maxwell was discovered, everything would be over. He was the guarantee of their safety in this operation.

Finally, they had to notify the Ouroboros's lower-level leader, Fantasy, the leader of the Fantasy Grimoire group, to stop Maxwell from going crazy.

However, on the fourth day, the opportunity Kalki had been waiting for finally arrived.

"Li Xuan, come out! I, Hercules, am waiting for you outside."

Hercules, the representative of the Greek gods in the lower level of the box garden, challenged Li Xuan openly at noon.

"There doesn't seem to be any hatred between us."

Li Xuan naturally could not show weakness, so he rushed into the sky and began to confront Hercules, while Black Rabbit and Leticia also began to arrange people to appease the many communities participating in the Harvest Festival.

"When you defeated Perseus's community and even spared his descendants, you should have expected me to take action."

Hercules spoke in a sonorous voice. In mythology, although both Hercules and Perseus had the same father, Zeus, Hercules' mother was indeed a descendant of Perseus. In other words, Hercules also had Perseus' blood in him.

Of course, this is just an excuse. In the box garden, Perseus and Hercules have no blood relationship, but are connected in spirit. Therefore, Hercules is actually quite embarrassed in front of Perseus, and their relationship is not deep.

It was Athena who really drove him to challenge Li Xuan. As in the myth, he received a lot of help from Athena during his growth, and now he has to repay Athena's kindness.

Athena sent Hercules to challenge Li Xuan because of the existence of Argoel. Hercules was the strongest among the lower class in Greece. Even the god of war Ares could not match Hercules when he came to the lower world. It was not difficult for him to defeat Li Xuan and take back Argoel.

By the fourth day, the Harvest Festival was almost over, which also gave enough face to the supporters behind Arcadia so that she would not get involved in the mess of Arcadia.

Kalgi and Maxwell, who had been waiting for a long time, were also ready to go, just waiting for the battle between Hercules and Li Xuan to begin. When everyone's attention was attracted, they would suddenly strike ruthlessly, enough to destroy 90% of the small and medium-sized communities in the Harvest Festival, and then evacuate immediately after a successful attack.

Kalji's plan was not bad, it was quick, accurate and ruthless, but what Kalji could not have imagined was that he was recognized by Li Xuan from the very beginning even though he had never been exposed, and his every move was always under Li Xuan's eyes.

"Hercules, is it a challenge you desire? Or a duel?"

Instantly, the vision of everyone at the Harvest Festival changed dramatically. Their vision lost its meaning, and all sorts of scenarios began to swirl in their minds.

They seemed to see the creation of chaos, the opening up of heaven and earth, the emergence of all things, and finally everyone being thrown into the vast starry universe.

"……This is…………"

The scene before him was so unusual that Hercules couldn't help but gasp.

Playgrounds are very common, and there are many who build world-sized playgrounds. Hercules owns several planet-sized playgrounds, but the playground in front of him is too big. Even with his strength, he cannot sense the boundaries of this playground.

Although he didn't believe that this playground was really as big as the universe, the dense nebulae in the distance were obviously not small either.

Hercules wanted to ask him if the challenge was really a four-digit number, not the two-digit number hiding in the lower level and playing a joke on him.

In fact, the place where everyone is located is not a playground, but a space formed by the reflection of the world inside Li Xuan's body in the outside world. Those nebulae are manifestations of the concept of other worlds in harmony with the Tao, and their actual size is not that exaggerated.

Hercules stood speechless and motionless. Li Xuan asked him again:

"Hercules, what do you expect? A challenge to the test? Or an equal duel?"

Chapter 70 The Trial of Hercules

Hercules didn't want to choose either of these two options. He came to repay Athena's favor, not to risk his life. He thought it was an easy task, but now it has become a choice between life and death.

Hercules couldn't be sure how strong Li Xuan was, but it was undeniable that he had no chance of winning.

Only then did Hercules realize how little information he had on Li Xuan. An innate deity? Four figures? Beyond that? What was his spiritual power? Which deity was it from? What powerful gifts did he have? What was his fighting style? He had no idea.

He rushed in to provoke someone, but ended up hitting a wall. How unlucky!

"Your Highness Li Xuan, I choose to challenge you. -"

Hercules chose the honor-based challenge with a wry smile. Fortunately, he had come in openly this time. For the sake of the Greek gods, at least his life was saved. As for face? Self-esteem? Those who valued it too much in the small garden world had long since lost it.

Although this action is equivalent to giving Li Xuan the reputation of the Greek gods, it doesn't matter. As the strongest person in the lower level of the box garden, Hercules is related to a lot of Greek interests in the lower level. Although he will be punished, he will not be seriously injured.

This can be considered as repaying Athena's kindness, but the price is a bit high. Hercules can only comfort himself in this way.

"A challenge? Well, it'll be just the perfect sideshow for the Harvest Festival."

"To all the visitors from communities large and small participating in the Harvest Festival, I am Li Xuan, the leader of the community hosting this Harvest Festival. As the festival draws to a close, I, as host, invite you all to witness a grand gift game, in which I will challenge the great Greek hero Hercules to a new test."

Suddenly, millions of spectators in the starry sky relaxed from the tension caused by the sudden change in the environment. Hercules was still very famous in the lower world, and the Twelve Trials Road was known to everyone.

Although he didn't understand why a big shot like Li Xuan was among the outer sect rulers, Hercules had undoubtedly hit a wall. Seeing the celebrities whom they could only look up to in the past suffer such misfortune, this dark mentality almost everyone has.

"Hercules, I won't make things difficult for you. As the Hercules, I've heard that you once helped the giant Atlas support the entire world. So this Gift Game will test your strength."

Gifted Game Name: God of the Sky

?Competitors at a glance: Hercules

?Cracking conditions: Sky-reaching.

?Solution: Use your strength to support the ever-increasing weight of the Sky Pillar. The Sky Pillar adds the weight of one world every ten minutes, and can add up to twelve worlds at most.

?Defeat conditions: Surrender after the weight reaches three worlds, or when the contestant fails to meet the above victory conditions.

Oath: Respect the above contents, hold the Gift Game in the name of honor, flag and organizer's authority.

Li Xuan's meaning was very clear. The three worlds were the basic line he gave to Hercules. At least he could survive if he reached it, otherwise he would be crushed by the weight of the world.

At this time, His Highness and Maxwell, who were mixed in the crowd, did not dare to move, for fear of attracting Li Xuan's attention. Ouroboros's information could be fatal.

A four-digit innate deity, six out of seven correct in the intelligence, a ridiculously high accuracy rate, yet one wrong. Is this a four-digit number? A four-digit innate deity could test Hercules, who had broken through the four-digit limit, right?

With such pomp and display in the lower realm, Kalgi thought it was a deity from one of the great gods descending. Of course, Kalgi knew that this wasn't the fault of Ouroboros' intelligence department. Who could have imagined that a powerful being like Li Xuan wouldn't be slaughtering his way through the upper realms, but rather hiding in obscurity in the lower realms? Was he mad, or was this world mad?

In fact, let alone him, the people from Avalon, Griffin and other communities have also gone crazy. They originally planned to help when Hercules attacked, but now they suspect that they have been collectively illusioned. Even Black Rabbit and Leticia are confused. Their estimates of Li Xuan have always been four-digit exceptions. What is Li Xuan doing now?

Only Alger vaguely realized that Li Xuan's combat power had already reached the triple digits after his return.

"I hope Your Highness can show mercy."

Hercules had no choice but to go ahead. The weight of a world mentioned by Li Xuan obviously could not be the weight of a planet with life. In that case, even one hundred and twenty thousand of them would not be a problem for Hercules, whose strength and power reached four digits. Even twelve suns could be handled by him if he gritted his teeth.

Hercules transformed into his ten-thousand-foot-tall true form, found the right angle to exert force, and after signaling that he was ready, the trial began.

With a bang, Hercules was pressed to his knees on the ground by the sudden increase in weight. The veins on his arms bulged and his face turned red. This world had reached his limit.

In terms of pure mass, it is not heavy, only equivalent to a sun. This is not difficult for Hercules, but the gift game says that what is added is the weight of the world, which is not false. Every increase in weight on the pillar is equivalent to the concept of a world of harmony between him and me being added, and the weight contained therein can be imagined.

Beads of sweat kept dripping from Hercules's head, and soon a small lake formed at his feet. The sound of his heartbeat in his chest resounded like thunder. In Hercules' perception, time passed so slowly that he felt his bones creaking every minute and every second.

"I added the second world."

As soon as the ten minutes were up, Li Xuan ruthlessly imposed the concept of the second world on Hercules.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!!…”

Hercules, who had been gritting his teeth to hold on, immediately felt the pain. His kneecap, which had been used as a fulcrum for half-kneeling, was instantly crushed. The skin on his shoulders and arms, from the excessive force, cracked and blood gushed out like a fountain. Before, he had still had the mind to think about time. Now, he could only hold on unconsciously, unable to think about anything else. Even the slightest distraction would cause him to fall to the ground in the next second, crushed by the pillar.

"The third world."

Facing Hercules, who had become a bloody man and was only one straw away from death, Li Xuan announced without any sadness or joy.

If he could hold on, Hercules would live. If not, he would die. The dignity of the strong could not be easily let go by saying ignorance is not a crime. Hercules thought too simply. The Greek gods could not save his life.

Li Xuan knew Hercules's limits perfectly well; carrying two worlds was already his limit. Want to live? Then struggle like hell, surpass yourself, or Hercules is doomed to die in this game of grace.

Chapter 71 The Ouroboros Left Behind

In an instant, Hercules could no longer bear the weight on his shoulders, and his body fell forward, on the verge of being crushed by the pillar. A look of surprise and bewilderment crossed Hercules' face. He, a four-digit god, was about to be crushed to death like this?

What will others think if I die like this? I'm a foolish, overconfident clown, my entire reputation gone to waste. Damn! I don't want to die like this!!

At the critical moment of life and death, Hercules was filled with rage and burst out with all his strength.

"Open it for me!!" With a roar, Hercules' muscles bulged and he threw the pillar out without caring about the shattering of his bones and muscles.

"I surrender!"

After saying this, Hercules collapsed to the ground with his body full of broken bones, his skin ruptured over a large area, and blood all over his body. Only his chest was still slightly rising and falling, proving that he was still alive.

"You survived? That's it!"

"Welcome everyone to watch my trial of Hercules. To express my apologies for the interruption, I will give a small blessing to everyone present."

What Li Xuan gave to everyone was a spring rain full of vitality. The injured people were healed directly in the rain, and the healthy people could also add some lifespan under the baptism of vitality.

The rain also stabilized Hercules' injuries, preventing him from dying on the spot due to an outburst beyond his limit. The rest was up to Greece to take him back for treatment.

Li Xuan waved his hand and teleported most of the people back to the Harvest Festival, leaving only the people from Arcadia and the Ouroboros Alliance.

"Who are these people?" Hei Tu was very surprised to see a group of strangers. She originally thought that Li Xuan kept them here to discuss something, but she saw that there was a group of strangers present.

"Who? The enemy!"

"Your Highness, have you mistaken me for someone else? We are just an ordinary community, here to participate in the Harvest Festival. We are not suspicious individuals."

Kalki behaved like an ordinary person from a small community and behaved very humbly.

There was no other way. Maxwell had already tried, and the gift of realm was completely useless after Li Xuan opened the game field. With their retreat cut off and the power gap obvious, Kalki could only hope that Li Xuan was just suspicious.

"Two four-digit numbers, and a few five-digit numbers. How come I didn't know there was such a powerful and completely unknown community in the lower levels of the Little Garden?"

"We're just relatively low-key and rarely participate in the Gift Game, so we don't have much of a reputation."

Kalji felt like he was sweating. His gift of hiding his strength was also seen through. No wonder he was kept behind. But this also meant that Li Xuan might just think they were suspicious and had not yet determined which force they were.

"How pitiful! Kalgi, Ouroboros is such a wretch, even using child labor."

"When were we exposed? I remember that I shouldn't have been exposed to the outside world."

When Kalgi heard the word Ouroboros, he knew he was exposed. Because of the existence of Ouroboros, the intelligence of the existence of Ouroboros was strictly controlled internally. Even though the outside world knew that the demon kings had formed an alliance, the name of the alliance, Ouroboros, had never been revealed.

Not to mention knowing his name and specific information. As one of the ten incarnations of Vishnu, his existence is top secret among the Ouroboros.

"I will tell you a truth, young child. In front of a high-ranking being who possesses certain special powers, none of your secrets will remain secrets."

"Your Highness, what are you going to do with us?"

After seeing the miserable state of Hercules, Kalki no longer had the desire to fight. It was not a question of whether he could win the fight, but whether he could die with dignity.

"Izayoi, come on, haven't you been clamoring for an enemy? This is it. Kalki, I'll give you a chance too. Defeat Izayoi Sakamaki, and I'll let you go."
