"The players from the new district don’t seem too friendly. The God of Light is dead, but if anyone still wants trouble, the top-ranked player from District 666 is right here—bring it on! Later, I’ll go through the list and hunt down anyone with 'Light' in their nickname. Get ready to queue up for death."
Every month, players have three chances to change their nicknames, but each rename costs one energy stone.
Under normal circumstances, players aren’t willing to change their names casually—unless their lives are at stake.
At this early hour, most players hadn’t even logged in yet. The players from District 896 were in disbelief. The God of Light… was really dead?
That slaughtering demon was actually dead?!
He had killed nearly a thousand players in District 896! Countless had sought revenge, but every single one had failed.
A godlike existence like him… was truly gone?
Realizing this belatedly, every player with "Light" in their nickname frantically rushed to change their names. Who wanted those disgusting words in their nickname anyway? They’d only been forced to do it!
The God of Light didn’t have many true followers. He was cruel, allowing no one to surpass him—or even have the potential to. He didn’t take teammates, only lackeys or slaves.
Most players had only changed their names under his oppression, joining his so-called "Church of the God of Light."
Now that he was dead, they abandoned those names without hesitation. None wanted revenge—in fact, many roared with excitement to the heavens…
Only a few top-tier lackeys were panicking now…
They immediately changed to inconspicuous new nicknames, terrified of being exposed and reported.
The chat lobby fell silent for nearly a full minute. It was the first time Black Tornado had spoken without getting an immediate response.
But Qi Xu was satisfied.
After all, the bragging points in the top-right corner were skyrocketing… quickly nearing 80,000, then breaking through to 90,000…
[Congratulations to player Qi Xu for obtaining a special Diamond Supply Box! Reach 120,000 bragging points to trigger the next reward!]
Qi Xu had hoped for an Obsidian Supply Box, but another Diamond one wasn’t bad.
Any reward was good—he wasn’t picky.
After a long pause, Old White Dragon in the Waves finally broke the silence in the chat.
"Tornado Boss is unstoppable! Serves that bastard right!"
Only after speaking did Old White Dragon realize his usual catchphrase had been influenced by Watch Me Cut You Down…
Blessed by Luck: "After all that big talk last night, I thought this guy was something special. Turns out he didn’t even last till 6 a.m. before Tornado Boss wiped him out."
Breaking Cocoon into Butterfly: "Serves him right. If you pick a fight, be ready to die—especially when messing with Tornado."
Chinese Master Chef: "666! Tornado Boss is the GOAT! I knew this guy was gonna bite it today."
Yangcheng Lake Little Crab: "Damn… no wonder this boss has three server-wide announcements under his belt. The God of Light was practically a tyrant in our district, and he got taken out on the first day after the merge? Unthinkable!"
With one player from District 896 speaking up, others finally dared to join the chat.
Nile Bear: "Good riddance! That monster is finally dead! It’s been so long since I could speak freely in the chat—last time, I had to pay a 'channel fee' to the God of Light just to send a message…"
Silver Ear Soup: "I could cry… I’ll risk asking: Do we still have to pay tribute every night? No offense meant—if I’ve offended, I’ll slap myself."
Panda Panda: "If we do have to pay… can it be less? I’ve only had three bites of food in three days…"
Chinese Master Chef: "What’s this 'tribute' thing? You had to pay the God of Light?"
China Specialty 196: "We had to hand over half our daily earnings… If anyone paid too little, he’d kill three players a day as punishment."
Retired Magical Boy: "Did he have that many tracking cards? Just killing on a whim?"
Panda Panda: "He had a special title that let him summon players to his location—three times a day…"
Qi Xu smacked his thigh in frustration. Damn it, he’d been too slow. If only he’d acted sooner, he could’ve used a Title Imprint Stone to copy that special title.
Watch Me Cut You Down: "A whole district enslaved by one guy? You’re all just trash, huh?"
Swim & Fitness Coach Chen: "Yeah, why not team up and kill him?"
Panda Panda: "We couldn’t beat him. He had a machine gun and tons of rare items. Everyone who went after him died… No idea how, but he killed at least a thousand players in our district…"
China Specialty 196: "So… what’s Tornado Boss’s tribute policy…?"
At this question, the District 666 players went silent. No one dared to speak for Black Tornado.
Qi Xu saw that the question was directed at him, so he replied in the group chat: "There's no such thing as tribute here. Let's all work together to grow stronger and walk this survival highway hand in hand.
I’ve listed the Water Condenser, Crafting Table, Air Conditioner, Green Fur Outfit, and Cotton Jacket in the Trading Hall. Feel free to purchase if you need them."
Panda Panda: "Ahhhhh, a Crafting Table?! You’re selling something this insane?! In our entire zone, only the God of Light had one before. Zone 666, you guys are eating way too well!"
Bei Bei Bei Bei: "A universal celebration—it seems we don’t have to pay tribute anymore! Your big shot and my big shot are clearly not the same."
Tonsils Never Speak: "Thank you, Whirlwind Boss. Just let me know if you need anything—I’ll give whatever I have."
Panda Panda: "Heh, ‘Never Speak Sis’ is the Goddess of Luck in our Zone 896. She always gets her hands on rare stuff. Without her, our zone would’ve been way worse off."
Though Qi Xu had listed the Crafting Table, Water Condenser, and other items for sale, the players from Zone 896 were so used to being oppressed that they assumed the prices would be sky-high—completely out of reach.
It wasn’t until someone bragged about buying a Water Condenser that everyone rushed to check the Trading Hall in shock—only to be utterly dumbfounded.
Why is it so cheap?! Even if they couldn’t afford it now, saving up was totally doable. The entire Zone 896 was stunned...
Light, Ballpoint Pen: "Whirlwind Boss, have you seen my sister...? The God of Light took her. I’m willing to trade everything I gather for the next year in exchange—just let me keep enough to survive. Please spare her life."
After a long silence with no response, Light, Ballpoint Pen sent another message. "I’ll change my name as soon as I can—I just don’t have any Energy Stones right now. I’ll agree to any condition, just let my sister live."
Old White Dragon in the Waves: "Don’t panic, bro. Whirlwind Boss just finished killing someone—he’s probably packing up right now and hasn’t seen your message. He’d definitely reply otherwise."
