There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

It was evident that these people seemed to have a lot to say.

They were the type with a strong desire to pour out their hearts.

"Elder Qian":"That Yi, the leader of the Ninefold Planet 'Rapeseed Star' asked me to convey this to you—'Chen Yi, your unwarranted declaration of war against a Ninefold Planet is causing panic among everyone. Please, stop your current actions immediately. We can sit down and talk things over slowly. Whatever the outcome, we promise to ensure a satisfactory response from the 'Kui Race' to you, Chen Yi.'"

"Elder Qian":"Yi, the following message is from the Ninefold Planet 'AR Star'—'Mr. Chen Yi, I must clarify to you that your unbridled warfare greatly risks prompting the remaining eight Ninefold Planets to join forces and expel you from the Five Chieftains Starfield. That would make us all lose face.'"

Chen Yi glanced at the message, ignored it, and continued what he was doing.

Soon, three hours had passed.

The 33 Club chat group began to flash again.

"Elder Qian":"Yi, I have another message from the Ninefold Planet 'Sunflower Star'—'Is that so, Yi? We all understand your style, but the least you could do is tell us your reason for declaring war on the 'Kui Race,' right? At least tell us if the 'Kui Race' players offended you, or if they once pursued you or something. At least give us a reason, please.'"

"Elder Qian":"This message is also from AR Star—'Yeah, Yi, we all just want to get to the bottom of this; mainly, we're now worried that you intend to purge all Ninefold Planets. If you could just elaborate on the grudge between you and the 'Kui Race,' we'll disappear right away.'"

It was obvious.

The leaders of these Ninefold Planets had softened considerably and didn't seem like the individuals with control over the largest forces in the game of ascension; they looked more like contractors who continually bowed and toasted, waiting for government construction assignments.

They were so humble, appearing ready to step down the moment they were offered an out, which was somewhat amusing and pitiful.

...

Meanwhile, in the Awesome Starfield.

Li Yi and Wang Qi, who were idly watching the group chat, exchanged glances, looking at each other in silence without a word, both deep in thought.

"That..."

Li Yi was the first to break the awkward silence, incredulously saying with some difficulty, "Has Yi's strength become so exaggerated? These are Ninefold Planets, and they've already started calling him 'brother'?!"

"Phew!"

Wang Qi took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart before he said vaguely, "It's only been three hours, and the leaders of these Ninefold Planets have drastically changed their tune. They went from veiled threats at the beginning to practically giving themselves a way out; they're all calling him Yi now."

"Something must have happened in these three hours, something that frightened all the Ninefold Planets."

"Think about it, Yi is currently engaged in battle with the 'Kui Race' in the Five Chieftains Starfield, so it's certain that Yi must have caused heavy casualties within the Kui Race, inflicting severe losses, which is why these other Ninefold Planet players started to fear Yi's power, thus gradually softening their tone."

"And maybe..."

"Could Yi actually wipe out the Kui Race?"

"He couldn't, could he?" Li Yi's voice trembled slightly: "But that's a Ninefold Planet?!"

"Can't say for sure."

...

Another three or four hours passed.

Chen Yi's ears were filled only with the sounds of relentless gunfire and the nearly incessant notifications, all of them alerts of his suit shielding him from various curses, attacks, control, tracking, and other negative effects, none of which affected him.

Finally.

After the last city was mercilessly engulfed by firepower,

An announcement resounded in all players' ears.

'Ding, public announcement for all players of the Ascension Game!'

'Congratulations to Chen Yi of Zerofold Planet, Star System 3, Annihilation Starfield, for successfully exterminating the Ninefold Planet 'Kui Race' during the Novice Period!!!'

'He is the first player in Ascension Game history to slay a Ninefold Planet during the Novice Period!'

'Unprecedented, with no one before and no one to come after!'

'Absolutely shocking!'

'This action has stunned countless players and has been selected for inclusion in the Ascension Game chronicle, permanently leaving his name and mark in the game, and a statue representing this event will be erected in the Ascension Game Hall of Honor.'

'And he has achieved a milestone in the Ascension Game!'

'Milestone name: Mortal Slaying the Heavens!'

'...'

-

In the skies above Annihilation Starfield, the 17th monument in memory of the Ascension Game belonging to Annihilation Starfield slowly rose, countless players looked up at this groundbreaking moment, and it felt as though they witnessed a great deal.

A child, just learning to speak, lay in his mother's arms, innocently sucking his finger and muttered.

"Mommy, why are stars always flying up into the sky?"

"Because the sky is changing."

With this event securing a monumental milestone in the Ascension Game, there was no doubt.

A novice player, not even past the Novice Period, had exterminated a Ninefold Planet.

How was it done?

No one knew.

But one thing was clear to everyone: if anyone had previously doubted Chen Yi's killing of the Ninefold Planet player Jiang Chenglu could have been an insider's job, or merely a coincidence, then after this extermination of a Ninefold Planet, there could be no more questions.
