The skull with eyes radiating green light turned to dust, disappearing like a thin veil in the universe.

The followers of the Corpse Bone Gene rose, and everyone's eyes fell upon him, then glanced at his chest, where four skulls remained.

Could he turn back time four more times?

Or perhaps, was it four other powerful skills equivalent to [Time Reversal]?

No matter which, everyone lost the courage to face the Corpse Bone Gene, a sense of awe naturally emerged.

"It's true, it's true, they all came back, they all came back!" A cultivator from the Millstone Star rushed to the surface, then returned with joy.

Master Wei and others breathed the biggest sigh of relief in their lives, stunned and delighted at the turn of events.

"May I know your name?" Master Wei clasped his hands and stepped forward.

"Belomo." The Corpse Bone Gene follower replied, "Master Wei, is your side willing to give up the Heavenly Will?"

Master Wei was silent for a moment, then spoke: "...take it, but no matter who among you obtains the Heavenly Will, no battle shall take place on Millstone Star!"

By the end, his tone was as sharp as an arrow pulled back in a bow, aggressive and icy cold.

Having experienced regaining something lost, nothing was more precious to Master Wei and others than their homeland!

"I can promise on behalf of everyone." Belomo nodded.

Next, it was a matter between the players.

No matter how Belomo called, Li Changzhou didn't respond, so he had to give up.

"You three," Belomo looked at the Star Lady, the Crimson Gold Dragon, and Xilin, "are you willing to join and become a member of the Corpse Bone Gene?"

He was recruiting not only these three but anyone who could join and become part of the Corpse Bone Gene.

Li Changzhou was not interested in this, as the Primordial Divine Tree appeared, absorbing the essence from the void, sensing that wisp of black mist's aura.

Having undergone the fourth physical enhancement, he understood that the black mist was himself, so how could anyone else have his aura?

It was impossible.

[This wisp of black mist's aura, though faint, is more powerful and long-lasting than yours!] Guanyin's face was also solemn.

Li Changzhou had countless means, but fundamentally only two: the physical body and the black mist; neither could afford any mistakes.

There wouldn't be any mistakes, but now...

It was like suddenly seeing someone on the street who looked exactly like you, even dressed the same, how could one not feel eerie?

"Brother? Brother!"

Li Changzhou returned to his senses, and Li Qianxia's face was almost touching his.

He leaned back slightly, looking around, and saw everyone staring at him worriedly.

"What's wrong?" Li Qianxia asked.

"Nothing." Li Changzhou said softly, still a hint of contemplation in his tone.

[No matter what happens, don't let those around you worry, and don't let your subordinates lose faith in you. Don't overthink, as long as you are strong enough, you and the Corpse Bone Gene will eventually clash, and everything will become clear by then.]

Guanyin's voice was gentle, advising earnestly.

Even though she had lost her mana and Dao Fruit, these words turned into a warm current, making Li Changzhou feel much better.

"Really nothing?" Li Qianxia pressed on, her eyes full of concern.

Li Changzhou smiled: "There is a small matter, I'll tell you later. How is the Heavenly Will?"

Seeing his demeanor, Li Qianxia knew that even if there was an issue, it wouldn't be something that could stump her brother.

"They are discussing how to allocate it now." She said lightly, "When a hundred players cultivate 'Millstone' simultaneously, the Heavenly Will appeared, it was also a millstone, found by the riverbank, seemingly inconspicuous."

"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor foresaw everything!" The old Taoist cheered with a long voice as if shouting long live, "The moment we entered the Millstone Star, he knew it was related to the cultivation system!"

"His Majesty's golden words, even if irrelevant, would make the Heavenly Will related to the cultivation system." The witch softly said.

"His Majesty's charm, the value of the game cannot block it." The Venus Goddess laughed.

The Phoenix glanced at these three, remained silent for a while, then spoke: "Indeed, I think so as well."

"..."

"Hahaha!" Li Qianxia laughed and collapsed into Yang Qinglan's arms.

Yang Qinglan and Turquoise Pool also smiled.

Li Changzhou was quite speechless.

He didn't respond, raising his hand for another gesture.

Players were gathered by the river, one side of the bank was covered with pebbles, while the other was grown with three-meter-high plants, the river water clear, the scenery beautiful.

The millstone, transformed by the Heavenly Will, was hidden among the pebbles.

Rumble!

The Millstone Star trembled, an unmatched pressure descended, causing everyone to instinctively look up, seeing a divine tree larger than a star, gazing down upon the Millstone Star like a god.

Whoosh, the branches like divine chains pierced the void, in a blink, rushing from the vacuum of space to the players' forefront.

"Ah!!"

A player unable to avoid, upon contact with the branches, all his blood, vitality, items, everything was swept away.

Everyone's faces changed dramatically.

"A hidden powerhouse has made a move!"

"Sir, please show mercy, I have no intention of contending for the Heavenly Will!"

The branches, like dragons, snaked forward, bypassing every plant on Millstone Star, targeting every player precisely.

Boom!

Xilin clapped his hands together, launching a destructive energy wave.

"Swoosh!" A branch as thick as a building struck down from the sky, absorbing the energy wave like a vacuum cleaner sucking up dust.

Xilin's face turned slightly grim, and he immediately fled.

But as he turned, his heart sank to the bottom—

The once open sky had become a primeval forest, with dense branches hanging down from space.

The Star Lady lifted her hand to summon stars.

Rumble!

The stars couldn't even unfold in the "thicket", dissolving the moment they touched the branches.

Within the branches, occasionally came sweeping beams of light, no matter what skills or attacks the players used, they were all swept away!
