Leoz's move was swift and clean, leaving Land Loyd no chance to explain.

He extracted a nail from his own blood, then pierced it into Land Loyd's neck. Over time, this nail would gradually be absorbed and decomposed by the body of a Zeta Rank Earthbound Deity, merging into Land Loyd's body.

The others emerged from the white fog, quickly overpowering the Underwater Abyss Bureau staff. Except for Qinlan Jiuge, the bureau director with a Kappa Rank (10), whom they dared not provoke, the other employees simply couldn't match up against this team of top players.

Facing Leoz's actions, Caramel Snail looked confused:

"True General, what are you doing?"

"I'm changing this kid's blood without altering his lineage." Leoz replied.

"What's the use?" Caramel Snail scratched his head.

"We're diving into Starry Abyss, so we need to prevent him from escaping through suicide."

Leoz explained:

"You might not be aware, but the Lai Anding Medical Protocol has loopholes. The player's resurrection mechanism isn't perfect, and every version keeps updating—except one flaw it can never overcome."

"Are you saying Lai Anding... didn't plan this thoroughly?" Severston asked curiously, "Can you explain?"

Leoz briefly explained the principle:

"The essence of the medical protocol is to protect our consciousness. When the conscripted bodies die, players actually disconnect from the conscripted bodies for a short moment."

"And this moment is also the process where the game system repairs the conscripted bodies. If the three resurrection chances aren't used up, it only allocates a small portion of resources to rollback the body's status to a Near-Death State—after all, full-status resurrection would make battles mindless, players would lose the fun of combat, and death would become costless. This is likely a gameplay consideration."

"I understand that."

Yutianxiao stroked his chin:

"But 'Starry Abyss', being an MMORPG, must adjust difficulty thresholds to cater to public aesthetic."

"The planner group at Qiqiao Network faced this issue by actually introducing core amateur divergence and including 'Society' type enemies, increasing death penalties to create challenges for hardcore players and encourage experts to take on this type of challenge."

Leoz added:

"But unfortunately, whether due to limited technical power or incomplete planning, I discovered a small bug..."

"The deaths caused by 'Society' type enemies actually make the entire Lai Anding Medical Protocol ineffective. Like water, the attack goes through and directly kills the player and conscripted bodies—but you can also interpret it as:"

"The Lai Anding Medical Protocol does not activate against attacks with 'Society' tags."

"Although this doesn't mean that 'Social Institution' weapons can delete player accounts directly, if you observe closely, you'll notice that players equipped with 'Social Institution' actually can't be resurrected."

This statement left the top players present instantly dumbfounded.

"This is the first time I've heard of this explanation."

Long Yuqiong immediately pulled out the 'Dracula Emblem', an institution that allowed him to transform into a Giant Dragon. He had been using it for quite some time.

But the inability to resurrect was something he hadn't heard of before.

Long Yuqiong looked at Yutianxiao: "I'm leaving the team, give me a fatal attack—"

Whoosh!

Yutianxiao raised his Magic Wand, a spell blade popped out at the tip, and with a swift motion, he directly chopped off Long Yuqiong's head, causing blood to spurt out.

The others turned their attention to this phenomenon, watching Long Yuqiong kneel, his head rolling towards Leoz's feet.

"Let me take a look."

Severston stepped forward, touched Long Yuqiong's headless body, and said in astonishment:

"Damn, it really can't resurrect! My 'Life Resuscitation' can't recognize this body; the system identifies this corpse as junk rather than a player, truly absurd."

"Remove his emblem and try again."

As soon as Leoz finished speaking, Caramel Snail cut off Long Yuqiong's hand, forcefully pried open the tightly gripped fingers, and took the emblem away from the body.

"It's done."

Severston intertwined countless pink and blue nano-threads with his hands, piercing into Long Yuqiong's blood vessels, with Life Origin Force continuously flooding in, causing quick regeneration of flesh. Meanwhile, Long Yuqiong's soul solidified, rapidly descending and merging with his body.

Pop.

Long Yuqiong opened his eyes, immediately looking at his now empty hand.

"It seems to be true." Long Yuqiong said in surprise, "Apparently, Lai Anding was negligent, creating a default that the protocol wouldn't activate against anything identified with 'Society' tags."

"Choosing between 'yes' or 'no'; she picked 'or,' which avoids damage to the protocol's core but makes players more vulnerable to attacks from all 'Society' sources—even if it can't accurately identify whether the player's current status is singular, it won't activate."

Leoz said blandly:

"Employing this trait, I just mixed some of my blood into Land Loyd's body, preventing him from triggering the Lai Anding Medical Protocol."

"You really got some tricks up your sleeve." Night Fighting Sword finally understood:

"So, this mechanism shows the code of the Lai Anding Protocol is quite basic; if it can't completely identify the conscripted body, it directly shuts down completely—it can only identify one target at a time."

"Now we have a way to prevent players from logging off..."

Yutianxiao mused:

"We can transplant other players' limbs or organs to a player, making Lai Anding Protocol unable to identify which player it is, thus unable to activate."

Leoz gave Yutianxiao a puzzled look:

"Yes, I think that's how it works. As long as the donor of the transplanted organ hasn't died, the transplanted player—even if dead—cannot resurrect."

"Great, now we can keep annoying players stuck on the resurrection screen forever!"

Lanan clapped joyfully, eyes bright, saying excitedly:

"Truly marvelous, what a shocking discovery!"

"It's no big deal."

Leoz brushed it off.

—This obviously wasn't his original idea.

In the future timeline previewed by Xides, players discovered this bug during version 7.0, during the player internal conflict.

At that time, due to global, factional, and organizational discord, war was inevitable.

However, real-life warfare was futile, polluting the environment and resulting in crime, with no meaningful outcomes.

Hence, wars shifted to online and major sporting events, where players, under the leadership of major guilds and clubs, would purchase planets in the fringe Starfield and start wars of mutual conquest.

The final result was Fiery Summer-Ajincour alliance winning, and the two servers announced merging, becoming the biggest winners of the first player civil war, securing the season championship that year, and even winning three consecutive Starry Abyss titles—a historic achievement.
