Volume 7, Chapter 18 – Players’ Movements

“Are you… The Supreme?”

Tianyin’s question, in this instant, was like a deep water bomb tossed into a lake, creating a bizarre destructive force at this very moment.

The surroundings, which were already extremely quiet, became even more silent.

It’s hard to imagine.

Just because of Tianyin’s simple question, the System Light Orb that just a moment ago seemed like it could talk about anything suddenly stopped making a sound.

‘Unwilling to answer?’

‘Didn’t know how to answer?’

‘Or was this a question I shouldn’t be asking in the first place?’

In this instant, countless thoughts flashed through Tianyin’s mind.

“Supreme? There is no Supreme in this world, there is only the System…”

In the end, before Tianyin even snapped out of her thoughts, the System Light Orb tossed out this meaningful line and then completely vanished from Tianyin’s sight.

No… Supreme?

Tianyin did hear what the System said. But the System Light Orb’s words left Tianyin completely lost.

No Supreme? What did that mean?

Did it mean that in this game, the existence of Supreme was actually fabricated? That what people like the Black Dragon King said were actually just rumors?

The more she thought, the less she understood.

But the less she understood, the more Tianyin wanted to know the real answer.

Is the Supreme the System?

Is the System the Supreme?

This question surfaced in Tianyin’s mind right at the moment the System was about to leave. And it was precisely because this question surfaced in her mind that Tianyin asked it as if possessed.

“My intuition has always been accurate… Even if this suspicion might be wrong, it still might not be that far from the real answer…”

Tianyin trusted the intuition she had honed over a long time in battle. But just believing in it was useless. The key was that Tianyin herself needed to verify all of this.

Then… Could the System really be the Supreme?

Tianyin couldn’t give an answer herself…

Time began to flow, and the world around her returned to its usual noise again.

The sound of the wind, the chirping of insects, the soft rustle of leaves swaying, the scenery of light and shadow slowly flickering.

Tianyin pulled her mind back from her thoughts and shifted her attention to the outside world, and at this time, Xiaomengyao also came back to her senses after gaining massive experience from the pillar of light awarded by the System.

“Master, Master, I leveled up again again again, hehe~”

Clenching her little fists tightly, Xiaomengyao’s eyes were full of excitement and joy.

“Master, Master, do you still have any quests?”

Speaking of excitement, Xiaomengyao seemed like she still wasn’t satisfied. After finishing the quest just now, she was already thinking about doing another one.

But this time, Tianyin didn’t assign another quest to Xiaomengyao.

“No more quests.”

Tianyin shook her head a little.

“I only just realized that the number of times I can post this kind of quest is limited, so now the uses are completely used up. So in the future, I won’t be able to post this kind of quest that’s simple in difficulty but gives extremely generous rewards anymore.”

The real situation was that the System Light Orb personally descended and took back the Exclamation Mark.

But Tianyin wouldn’t tell Xiaomengyao the real situation. After all, some things were fine if only Tianyin knew, and even if she told Xiaomengyao about it, Xiaomengyao might not necessarily believe it.

After all, the matter of time being stopped just now was something an ordinary normal person wouldn’t believe.

After all, how could time be stopped so easily?

“Eh, eh… Is that so? That’s such a shame…”

After getting Tianyin’s definite reply, Xiaomengyao, who had just been extremely enthusiastic a moment ago, instantly drooped.

To Tianyin, she looked like a kitten that had lost its toy.

……

Several more days passed.

While Tianyin was preparing the tournament arrangements, many, many players across the world began to enter Dawn’s territory.

Because of the tournament, Dawn’s borders were opened up.

And as Dawn’s borders opened up, the players also got to see a Dawn that was completely different from other factions.

Humans, Beastmen, Half-beasts. In Dawn, you could see the figures of these native races.

Not only those races, some players even saw an “angel clan” spreading their wings and soaring through the sky.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect Dawn’s leader to not only be a loli. There are also tons of pretty girls in Dawn!”

After wandering around Dawn’s territory for a few days, a player posted this feeling on the forums.

“How can you tell?”

Very quickly, other players who hadn’t been to Dawn yet raised questions.

“You know beastgirls with animal ears? Dawn has a huge number of cute beastgirls with animal ears.”

The first player didn’t answer, and instead it was answered by other players who were staying in Dawn.

And as this player answered, the comments in the thread also exploded in number.

“Beastgirls with animal ears? For real?”

“I love beastgirls with animal ears! No no, just for beastgirls with animal ears, I’m going to Dawn to join the tournament!”

“I’ll be honest, I’m just drooling over their bodies!”

Of course, it wasn’t only threads like that.

Threads about Dawn possibly having angels were also pretty popular. Of course… The hottest ones were still the threads about Dawn’s leader, that silver-haired loli.

“Where are the members of my Tianyin Knights? It’s time to gather and go pay our respects to Her Highness Tianyin!”

Before this, Tianyin had already attracted a large batch of player fans on online forums. But later, after Tianyin vanished astonishingly from the players’ sight, those fans of Tianyin who had originally been active also fell silent.

But… with the announcement of the Dawn tournament, Tianyin’s fan club among the players revived again.

“Where’s the knight order of my Knight Princess? Brothers, for our most beloved Knight Princess, gather!”

Very soon, another player group that supported the knight girl Fisiel also became active.

And as these player groups that liked NPCs appeared, some player groups that supported players couldn’t stand it anymore.

“It’s just NPCs, they’re virtual characters, what’s there to worship? Why not worship the strong in our real world?”

With these players’ mockery, a wave of verbal war instantly erupted on the forums.

Both sides each held their own opinions and refused to give way, fighting until everything was upside down on the forums.

And this kind of verbal war naturally gathered a large crowd of onlookers who didn’t know what was going on but watched with great relish.

And as the verbal war intensified more and more, the number of people who learned about this tournament being held in Dawn also increased.

And the number of players paying attention to this tournament also grew more and more.

At the root of it, this verbal war was as if it had been planned, drawing over most low level players who didn’t have much interest in the tournament.

After all… this was a tournament to fight for first place, and most players had that self-awareness. So they naturally weren’t very interested in this kind of tournament.

But as the verbal war started, those players who had no interest instead developed an interest in watching the tournament.

The result caused by this verbal war was that it produced a positive impact…
