There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

From now on, Chen Yi will be the undisputed number one combat force in the advancement game.

...

"This..."

Li Yi, hearing the announcement beside his ear, found the happy tea he had just bought in God Yi Mall losing its appeal, his voice sharp with panic, "The Kui Race has been exterminated???"

"A whole Ninefold planet, just like that, gone??"

"Holy sh*t!!"

He didn't know what to say anymore.

He knew Yi was strong, and he had never doubted that, but for a player from the Novice Period to exterminate a Ninefold planet seemed way too unreasonable, didn't it? No matter from which angle, it didn't seem to make any sense.

Not to mention, the privileges, activities, and resources that a Novice Planet and a Ninefold planet have are many times different.

A player from a Novice Planet killing a player from a Ninefold planet could still be forcibly explained from multiple angles.

But if a player from a Novice Planet exterminated a clan from a Ninefold planet.

There was only one answer.

This dude's cheating.

Suddenly, he remembered the series of announcements to all players in the advancement game, stating that Yi had cleared all the maps from Ultimate One to Ultimate Nine. He was flabbergasted when he first received that message.

He hadn't even found the chance to congratulate Yi when he received the announcement of the Ninefold planet's extermination.

Could it be the power of the nine Ultimate Suits rewarded for clearing those nine maps?

...

Almost the instant the announcement sounded,

the "33 Club chat group" started blinking crazily again.

"Elder Qian": "The leader of 'Sunflower Star' from a Ninefold planet has a report for you, Yi—'Thank you, Yi, for helping us eradicate the Kui Race on the Ninefold planet. That race was utterly despicable, and we have disliked them for a long time. With Yi's help in eliminating this great enemy today, we will soon deliver a rich reward!'"

"Elder Qian": "This is a message from 'AR' planet from the Ninefold—'Yi, you must have a vendetta against the Kui Race, right? Now that you've exterminated them, you won't attack us anymore, right? We have no grudge against you, Yi, and we even cheered you on just now.'"

In the chat group,

other Ninefold planet leaders kept relaying messages through Elder Qian—it was their only way to communicate with Chen Yi.

At this moment, all leaders of the Ninefold planets were desperately trying to ascertain one thing: what was the conflict between Chen Yi and the Kui Race!

Being from the Ninefold planet themselves, gathering intelligence on one another was a necessary task. Based on their understanding of the Kui Race, they shouldn't have any grievances with Chen Yi. After all, how could a Ninefold planet have any conflict with a Novice Planet?

That was an improbable event.

Yet without any grudges, why would Chen Yi mobilize such a targeted and ferocious attack on the Five Chieftains' Starfield? It was irrational. According to their information on Chen Yi, although he was ruthless, at least every attack he made was justified; he wouldn't massacre without a reason.

The only speculation was,

when Jiang Chenglu was promoted to the Tenfold planet and left, one Ninefold planet had symbolically sent someone to approach Chen Yi. They weren't clear on which Ninefold planet it was and did not investigate further.

After all, they were all well aware that if they wanted to be promoted to the Tenfold planet, it could be done easily at any time. They postponed because they didn't want to face the deadly battles that came with such a promotion. However, to account for their fellow players, they had to perform symbolic gestures.

Such actions were not convenient to be widely known.

Finally—

Perhaps it was the genuineness of these Ninefold planet leaders that moved Chen Yi. Having not spoken in the 33 Club chat group the whole time, Chen Yi finally sent a message.

"Chen Yi": "Tell the other Ninefold planets that they have one hour to advance to Tenfold. After one hour, those who haven't advanced to Tenfold will be exterminated."

As this message reached the minds of the remaining eight Ninefold planet leaders,

the group suddenly fell silent.

And those eight Ninefold planet leaders also fell into silence in unison.

...

"Is Yi getting a bit too overconfident?"

A trace of concern flashed in Li Yi's eyes, "Isn't this blatantly forcing the remaining eight Ninefold planets to gang up on Yi?"

Yi's words had nearly left these Ninefold planets with no way out.

To stay alive, these Ninefold planets had no other option but to unite against Yi.

Yi was backing himself into a corner.

Although Yi had just eliminated one Ninefold planet, fully proving his strength, the issue was that exterminating one Ninefold planet and facing eight united Ninefold planets were completely different concepts.

It was a world of difference!

It's like a regular person might have fought off a hungry wolf barehanded, but when facing eight desperate hungry wolves fighting for their lives, success wasn't guaranteed, and he would likely meet his end.

...

Meanwhile, in a certain chat channel of the advancement game,

eight glowing avatars gathered in this channel, each representing one of the eight Ninefold planets.

This was the first time they had appeared together in a small group.

Gathering in a small group was previously unthinkable since they were not on good terms.

However, this time was different; there was a formidable enemy.

Yes, a formidable enemy.

Finally, after a long silence, one avatar took the lead and spoke, "Shall we join forces and give it a try? We should..."
