Under Gao Lanlan's relentless pressure, the army facing the precipice began its counterattack.

The armies collided, kicking off with an intense close-range battle.

The units in the rear immediately poured all their firepower towards the opposing camp, as if trying to flatten them in one stroke.

Yet despite appearances that both sides were evenly matched, Gao Lanlan's side had a significant advantage.

She still had a retreat, with ample room to maneuver.

This made her army much more agile compared to their opponent, whose space was constantly being squeezed and invaded.

The others were already in a dire predicament, fighting with their backs to the water.

Seeing the enemy stubbornly resisting, Gao Lanlan remained unsparing.

Honestly, this situation made her very skeptical...

To fall into such a perilous situation so easily, is this really the famous Lin Ye who had caused many Demon Gods to suffer setbacks?

Yet she was absolutely certain the figure she saw was definitely Lin Ye!

Ever since that night she glimpsed Lin Ye from afar, she had never forgotten that scene.

Because of her deep obsession, she wasn't sure whether she wanted to kill Lin Ye purely for revenge for her brother, or to fulfill her own fixation.

Meanwhile, Gongsun, who had been observing the battle, initially looked amused but now wore a puzzled expression.

Evidently…

The figure before him was indeed Lin Ye, yet somehow also not Lin Ye.

"What kind of trick is this?"

He murmured to himself.

If some skills were employed, he should have been able to perceive them.

In this game, if a player violated the rules, as the referee, he would be the first to sense it.

In fact, he wished Lin Ye would violate the rules.

Then he could justifiably seize everything from Lin Ye...

However, as it turned out, even he couldn't fathom the current situation.

He found himself unable to tackle Lin Ye from a rules perspective!

This proved Lin Ye's actions were perfectly legitimate, utterly flawless.

Even though 'Lin Ye' seemed to be in imminent danger...

The more it seemed this way, the more Gongsun felt that Gao Lanlan might be doomed.

"It seems I'm gonna lose again this time..." Gongsun expressed with a trace of dejection.

Beside him, Gao Lanlan sharply turned her head to look at Gongsun.

She might not be exceptionally clever, but she was no fool...

Upon hearing Gongsun's words, she instantly grasped the situation.

Perhaps the one trapped isn't 'Lin Ye' but actually herself!

Although Gongsun had declared impartiality in the game, he still divulged some information to her.

Of course, whether she comprehended it or not was up to Gao Lanlan herself.

"Retreat... withdraw!"

Gao Lanlan didn't lose her head; knowing if there's indeed a trap here, it's time to make rational decisions.

There was no need to maintain a temporary advantage that could steer her towards utter destruction.

Gongsun's words clearly tripped the line, informing Gao Lanlan that if she continued, she would likely face disaster.

But at that moment, 'Lin Ye's' forces, retreating while fighting, launched a savage attack.

It didn't seem like an attempt to exploit their victory but rather to pull the enemy into a brutal battle!

Gao Lanlan realized the severity of the situation.

She promptly took out a mirror, about two palms big, showing a terrain identical to her current environment.

On it, spotted marks of red and white were intermingling, with white representing her troops, and red her adversary's.

Previously, while pursuing 'Lin Ye', she forgot to closely observe the battlefield's status.

Seeing it now, Gao Lanlan's heart was immediately heavy with anxiety.

Behind her, another cluster of red dots was swiftly approaching.

No doubt, she was encircled!

She originally thought 'Lin Ye' was forced against a cliff, at the end of his rope.

Unexpectedly, she herself had fallen into the trap.

"Looks like you're finished."

Gongsun leaned in, gloatingly said.

Faced with enemies on all sides, Gao Lanlan's expression turned grim.

Lin Ye will not let her leave alive...

In this game, whenever she encountered Lin Ye, it became inevitable that only one of them could emerge alive.

Neither would allow the other to survive.

"I surrender to you, help me break the stalemate!" Gao Lanlan gritted her teeth, speaking to Gongsun.

Listening, Gongsun showed a smile.

"Ah, as you wish. From now on, you are a servant of the rules. My command is your rule... Swallow this blood drop, and gain what you desire."

He stretched his hand, a drop of disturbingly blood-red liquid emerged from his fingertip, flying and hovering before Gao Lanlan.

Gao Lanlan looked at Gongsun, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

She finally understood that Gongsun likely never expected her to kill Lin Ye, strictly adhering to the rules.

Rather than simply targeting Lin Ye, Gongsun had always been plotting more than just against Lin Ye.

She, Gao Lanlan, was also part of Gongsun's calculations.

Though it might sound inflated, a Space Mage was indeed worth such scheming.

After all, a grown Space Mage, in terms of combat prowess, could rival any Abyss Demon God.

Securing Gao Lanlan might could compensate for Gongsun's lack in pure combat capability.

Thinking about her desire for revenge, and how she was maneuvered by Gongsun, Gao Lanlan couldn't tell whether she was regretful or furious...

With no choice, she closed her eyes and gulped down the Rule Demon God's blood.

"Hehe…"

Gongsun watched the scene, grinning widely.

"It's done. We've reached a covenant; you have the power I granted. You can now pray to me and choose to ignore any rule!" Gongsun smiled as he spoke.

After hearing this, Gao Lanlan glanced sharply at Gongsun.

This ability was downright formidable!

She had never expected Gongsun to bestow such incredible power upon her.
