The old voice continued.

『 People of the world 』

『 The Apocalypse has come, calamities erupting all over the world, your fate is no better than

an ant in a tsunami. Insignificantly small and not in your control 』

『 Do you want to change your fate? 』

『 Struggle, keep on moving forward among the

bloodshed, as only the strong has the right to survive 』

『 If you wish to become eternal, then challenge it. Once you succeed, you shall gain eternal life itself! 』

『 The second Game of Eternal, will now accept your entrance! 』

As soon as he finished, a large line of text popped up in front of every person in the world.

[Do you want to sign up to gain eternal life?]

[Yes][No]

Gu Qing Shan instantly chose [No].

“Impartial Goddess”

[I’m here sir]

“Have the last line that the Murder Clown said broadcast again to everyone in the world”

[Understood]

2 seconds later.

Once again, every Holo-Brain in the world turned on by itself and projected a screen in the air.

The Murder Clown’s nightmarish appearance once again show itself before them.

[Ladies, and gentlemen, please keep this in mind. Anyone that enters the Game of Eternal will have but a single fate, and that is ---------DEATH!]

As the Murder Clown finished, the footage stopped, but didn’t go away.

The invitation from the Game of Eternal was silently floating in front of everyone.

But next to them, their Holo-Brains were lit up, showing the Murder Clown with a smile that’s not a smile, cold and inexplicable, citing a deep sense of fear and unease in everybody.

At this moment, humanity was hesitant.

If they enter the Game of Eternal and win, they’ll naturally receive eternal life.

--------but as they leave, they’ll die at the hand of the Murder Clown.

The creature calling itself the Murder Clown could control every Holo-Brain in the world.

To compare the degree of unbelievability, the Clown is even slightly winning against the Game of Eternal.

Because Holo-Brains are machines. Machines are unlike humans, they do not get confused and fooled by their perception.

When faced with two equally inexplicable existences, it became very hard to choose.

No matter how much one desires eternal life, when having to choose from either of these equally strange choices full of unknowns, anyone would have to think deeply before picking one.

Suddenly, without any warning, the Game of Eternal responded.

The voice old was using a much more solemn tone than before.

『 A damned flea is standing against the people’s desire for eternal life 』

『 No, we shall not allow for such a situation! 』

『 This time’s Game of Eternal shall be specifically for the elite of elites 』

『 Have you ever been in a battle? Are you undefeated? Are you a Professionist? 』

『 Are you someone standing at the very top, a powerful existence that observes the people? 』

『 If you are such an existence, then you are hereby invited to today’s challenge of the elite! 』

『 We shall help you obtain eternal life 』

『 A clown will always be a clown. In the face of powerful eternal existences, it could only ever tremble in fear 』

『 Don’t hesitate, come, join our challenge 』

『 As the strong and powerful, you deserve eternal life! 』

---------what?

The participation requirements changed?

Many Professionists quickly made up their minds.

A few decided to stand by and keep watching, while others chose to accept the challenge without any hesitation.

On the S.W. Divine Temple, Gu Qing Shan was also shocked.

“That’s strange, it had never done that before”

He silently thought about it.

The Game of Eternal changed its own rules, that’s a thing that never happened even once in the past life.

Probably, in the past life, the Game of Eternal was so well-received that countless people went mad over it, so it didn’t face anything that required it to change.

But in this life, as soon as humanity knew about the Game of Eternal, they also got pressured by the Murder Clown.

The Game of Eternal was afraid it wouldn’t have any souls to consume, so it changed its rules, to filter out participants to a certain degree.

“This type of filtering will ensure the participants are all cruel and powerful people” Zhang Ying Hao commented.

“Seems like it wants to settle this with us once and for all” Liao Xing also commented.

After a while.

The old voice was heard once again:

『 The warriors who are up to the challenge has appeared 』

『 Randomly drawing from all participants of this world, a total of 7634 people has been selected』

『 Seems like all there are many powerful Professionists of this world who desires eternal life 』

The old voice sounds a bit disappointed, but excited at the same time.

Disappointed because to deal with the Murder Clown, they couldn’t help but put a restriction on people that are participating, leading to the clear decrease of participants this time around.

But it was excited because these are all powerful Professionists, so the quality will be much better than before.

While under the threat of the Murder Clown, there are still so many people who joined, clearly showing the allure of eternal life.

These powerful Professionists don’t care for anyone else’s lives, they only want to obtain eternal life for themselves.

The old voice was highly raised.

『 After the intense battle, we shall meet our final winner 』

『 And the winner shall receive eternal life, together with other exciting rewards 』

『 Bystanders, you may view the battle of the elites in this arena by closing your eyes 』

『 Let us all wait with bated breath for this exciting competition! 』

『 Now, let the challenge of the elites. BEGIN! 』

In the arena, all 7634 challengers were without a doubt, powerful. There were hardly any of them that are weaker than Ou Yang Fei Yu.

After witnessing the Murder Clown’s power, they were confident that they’re able to at least escape with their lives from his pursuit.

A few of them are estimated to be even stronger than the Murder Clown.

As powerful fighters, having achieved so much in their lives, they have no interest in things that most others would beg to have.

The only desire that they tickle their heartstrings anymore is something as grand as eternal life.

But this battle of the elites didn’t have any Martial Saint or other fighters of the same caliber.

There are very few Martial Saints in the world, and every other fighters of the same caliber are famous people that humanity knows by heart through hearing their names so much.

They are all true powerful people with absolute authority, not only are they still suspicious of this Game of Eternal that appeared out of nowhere, there’s even the Murder Clown that’s muddling up the water, so they chose to keep watching and not participate in it yet.

In the arena.

The floor tiles flipped around one by one, as numerous cold weapons appeared on the ground one by one.

All Professionists began their mad dash for initiative.

And the killing began not long after.

On the S.W. Divine Temple, the four people all closed their eyes to watch the battle.

“Seems like they’re all quite powerful” Zhang Ying Hao commented.

“Hm, a pair of twins, about Martial Eminence rank peak, almost reaching Martial Saint” Ye Fei Li frowned and spoke.

The three of them looked around and quickly found the two he was talking about.

Their combination was flawless, easily scoring kill after kill. Their method was cruel, but very efficient.

Countless corpses had already fallen at their feet.

Ye Fei Li’s current stage of evolution is the same rank as a Martial Saint, but since Man Killer Fiends are naturally 1 stage weaker than Professionists, he’s just barely as strong as this pair of twins.

In order words, if this pair of twins were to win, with Ye Fei Li’s current strength, there’s no way for him to kill them.

“When someone becomes the champion, the Game of Eternal will make them even stronger” Gu Qing Shan estimated.

“Isn’t this just cheating? Changing the rules of the game at the last minute like that” Liao Xing spoke in annoyance.

They all went silent.

No one is a fool here, they all understand very well that if a powerful Professionist were to win and receive a boost of strength from the game, Ye Fei Li might even be defeated by them in return.

His time of growth is simply too short.

When faced against the strongest powerhouses of this world, Ye Fei Li still has no way to win against them through brute force.

If the winner of the game returns to reality, and the Murder Clown isn’t able to become a threat to them, then the Game of Eternal wins.

Countless Professionists will gladly step over the corpse of the clown to get their ticket into the Game of Eternal.

Gu Qing Shan contemplated for a bit, then asked Ye Fei Li: “How much longer until your next evolution?”

Ye Fei Li thought about it, then answered: “After killing the Plague Man Killer Fiend, then Ou Yang Fei Yu, I probably need to kill another Man Killer Fiend that’s about as strong as the Plague Man Killer Fiend to evolve”

“Then we’ll leave now, let’s kill a few powerful Man Killer Fiends so you can quickly evolve” Gu Qing Shan immediately followed up on him.

“Impartial Goddess, show me the few current strongest Man Killer Fiends”

[Extracting information now] Impartial Goddess replied.

Information on two different Man Killer Fiends were shown on the screen.

“Very well, we’ll go kill this one”

Gu Qing Shan pointed at a mountain of corpses and decided.

On the mountain of corpses, numerous black Man Eater Fiends were happily eating their fill, while a fat Man Killer Fiend stood atop of mountain, roaring in excitement.

In front of the mountain of corpses, a city was beginning to show itself.

“I’ll leave now” Ye Fei Li said.

“I’ll come with you” Gu Qing Shan also said.

“You’re going too?”

“Hm, having two people is more efficient -------and we’re racing against the clock with that damn game”

“Racing against the clock?”

“That’s right, the people who are participating in this time’s Game of Eternal are all Professionists, they’re killing people very quickly”

…

The small-sized Interstellar Warship whizzed past the layer of clouds and headed towards a certain city.

[Sir Gu Qing Shan, Mr. Ye Fei Li, please be prepared for battle, we’ll reach the destination very soon] Impartial Goddess reported.

Ye Fei Li stood up and asked: “How are we going to do this?”

“You deal with the Man Killer Fiend first, I’ll weed out the black Man Eater Fiends and then join you” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“When you put it that way, it sounds a bit like we’re playing a game” Ye Fei Li commented.

“It’s a game alright, one that will decide the life and death of this planet” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“There’s quite a few black Man Eater Fiends. Make sure not to get bitten by them or I’ll have no choice but to kill you” Ye Fei Li warned him.

“You’re a Man Killer Fiend so you’re not really afraid of their bites right?” Gu Qing Shan asked him back.

“I don’t mind one or two bites, not to mention --------“

Ye Fei Li made a gesture.

The Mech parts rose from under him, latching onto his body piece by piece, quickly forming an armor.

The Murder Clown has appeared once again.

An inexplicably eerie voice came from behind the mask: [They’re not going to be able to bite me even if they wanted to. You on the other hand, can’t be bitten even once]

The cabin opened as the Warship began to slow down.

“Who would've thought there would actually be someone that’s worried I’ll be zombified…” saying so, Gu Qing Shan walked step by step towards the open cabin door.

Suddenly, an antique-looking light golden armor appeared behind him from thin air.
