Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

"Ding—"

The clear sound of the bell echoed throughout the Yan University campus. Students who had just finished two class sessions walked out of the classrooms, while those waiting for the next class had already been waiting outside and entered one by one after the classrooms emptied.

Qin Chuan held Lin Yue's hand, walking calmly under the occasional glances from other students, strolling down the tree-lined path of the campus. His gaze was fixed on a particular entry on the instance list. "An A-level instance is descending in ten minutes."

"You need to be careful," Lin Yue softly said. "After the A-level instance descends, it will become an S-level passage where only those of Legend Rank can enter and exit."

"It's going to be much more dangerous than before."

"I know," Qin Chuan squeezed the girl's delicate and boneless hand. "But my strength is also much stronger than before."

"That's true," Lin Yue nodded in resignation. "I'll wait for your return."

"Alright."

The two chatted sporadically, walking aimlessly along the campus of Yan University. The ten minutes quickly passed.

[A-level instance, Gray Crystal Tower, remains unconquered after 72 hours and has now descended into reality]

[Dream World loses control over this instance; dungeon level suppression disappears, and instance level is re-evaluated as: S-level, its rank will continue to rise over time.]

Here it comes!

Seeing the text suddenly appearing before them, both Qin Chuan and Lin Yue stopped in their tracks, their expressions growing more serious.

Dragon Halberd's call came just in time.

"Location, Eastern part of The Sun Never Sets."

"The Sun Never Sets?" Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow. "Isn't Zefina a player from The Sun Never Sets? I remember that one of her Spiritual Beasts achieved Epic Rank yesterday."

"Correct." Dragon Halberd paused, and a commotion could be heard over the phone. "The official call for help from The Sun Never Sets has already come through; she is their representative."

"That should work," Qin Chuan nodded slightly. "Where is the rendezvous?"

"Above your head," Dragon Halberd's voice carried a trace of amusement.

"Over there," Lin Yue, sensing the cue, looked up in a certain direction and then tugged Qin Chuan's hand.

A helicopter that had been waiting on high swooped down rapidly toward them.

"Da-da-da-da—"

The helicopter's rapidly spinning rotor blades stirred up a windstorm at low altitude, causing the surrounding students to exclaim in surprise.

Qin Chuan raised his hand to grab the climbing rope that had been lowered from the helicopter. He turned his head to glance at Lin Yue beside him.

"Be safe," Lin Yue smiled and spoke. After watching Qin Chuan board the helicopter and disappear into the distance, she finally turned around and left.

-----------------

The Sun Never Sets, Essex County.

Above this beautiful coastal city, a massive vortex slowly blossomed in the sky, resembling a black hole, until its opening expanded nearly a kilometer in diameter before gradually coming to a halt.

On the other side of the vortex, a blurred vision of a crystal-filled world was faintly visible. Despite the barrier between worlds, one could still sense its formidable suppressive power.

At this moment, the ordinary residents near the vortex were thrown into great panic. They screamed as they frantically packed up some valuable items, dragging their families onto the streets in an attempt to get as far away as possible, and many got into fights over trivial matters amidst the chaos.

The security team arrived as quickly as possible, but their numbers were insufficient to maintain order in such chaos.

Everything had happened too suddenly, and they were somewhat at a loss.

"Everyone, calm down!"

A deep, authoritative voice instantly resounded, carrying a calming power that made many in the crowd slightly settle down.

Zefina leaped from a helicopter, looking towards the vortex gateway with a very solemn expression.

In the past, numerous instances had descended around the world, but none had ever presented a portal of such magnitude.

So this is an S-level instance portal...

In her eyes, the now-open gateway seemed like an abyss that could devour countless lives, sending shivers down one's spine.

A large number of Transcendents followed Zefina's arrival, displaying a hint of their power amid the existing chaos, undoubtedly having a calming effect on the onlookers.

The pressure on the security team finally eased a bit, and the chaotic crowd started to disperse orderly, clearing the area around the gateway in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Seeing this, Zefina's expression slightly brightened, and she spoke slowly.

"When can the Transcendents from Yanhuang Country arrive?"

"Considering the distance, even if Yanhuang Country dispatches their new generation of Extraordinary-Powered aircraft, it will still take more than an hour," a middle-aged man next to her spoke solemnly. "We'll have to hold on by ourselves for now."

Zefina fell silent for a moment. "Regarding the Gray Crystal Tower, how much intelligence do we have?"

"Only a few scant lines from the instance description," the middle-aged man shook his head slightly. "Currently, we know that the primary Clan inhabiting the instance is the Crystal Clan."

"The Crystal Clan…" Zefina's expression turned grim. "They're not easy to deal with."

Although the Crystal Clan had relatively fragile bodies, they possessed the highest Extraordinary Energy conduction capability among all Clans, making them natural Transcendents.

Moreover, knowing their own frailties, their Clan included many members who mastered rapid healing spells; even if their bodies were shattered in battle, these members could quickly heal them.

Looking at the portal in front of her, Zefina took a deep breath. "Oriel, come with me."

"Eh?" The young girl beside her, who had been silent all along, suddenly showed a reluctant expression. "I didn't even say anything; how did I end up being drafted by you?"
