There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Everyone knew that today was the most important day for them!

Blue Star had advanced to a Tenfold Planet, and the Snow Sea Project Team's supporting role had come to an end. They had accumulated enough S-class Free Access to fully restore their player status and advance to a Ninefold Planet in one fell swoop.

Finally...

Finally, they could be real people, wander the continent, go on map explorations instead of being some ghostly office staff pounding away at some project.

Finally, they could rescue all the kin who toiled as janitors in hell and bring them back.

Reunite everyone together.

"Whew!"

Jin Buhuan took a deep breath, then turned to look at the employees behind him. After a brief pause, he suddenly started to laugh, "My friends, we're going home!"

Right after that.

A notification instantly rang in everyone's ears.

'Ding, Jin Buhuan has activated 3 S-class Free Access, choosing to revive his race!'

'And renaming the race "Dawn Clan".'

'Ding, Jin Buhuan has activated 1 S-class Free Access, "Dawn Clan" skips the Novice Period, successfully advancing to a Onefold Planet.'

'Ding...'

A multitude of notification sounds buzzed incessantly.

After reviving their race, they would appear on a Novice Planet, go through the Novice Period once more, then slowly integrate into the promotion game, retracing the path they once took, essentially reliving life from the womb.

But if they had enough S-class Free Access.

They could skip the whole Novice Period and directly advance to a Onefold Planet, and even beyond...

Quickly.

The last notification sound fell.

'Ding, congratulations to the "Dawn Clan" for successfully advancing to a Ninefold Planet.'

Then.

An announcement rang once more in the ears of all players in the promotion game.

-

'Ding, an announcement for all players of the promotion game!'

'Players of Annihilation Starfield's Ninefold Dawn Star, Jin Buhuan, led the Dawn Star from a Novice Planet to a Ninefold Planet within 10 minutes!'

'Successfully breaking the fastest promotion record for planets in the promotion game!'

'Unprecedented, an achievement no future generation could surpass!'

'Absolutely shocking!'

'This event shook countless players and has now been included in the annals of the promotion game, where it will leave a permanent mark in the game and a statue representing this event will be erected in the promotion game's Hall of Honor.'

'And they've earned a milestone in the promotion game!'

-

'Milestone name: God in the Blink of an Eye!'

'Conditions to Achieve: within 10 minutes, lead your planet from a Zerofold Planet to a Ninefold Planet...'

'Let us congratulate Jin Buhuan for being the first player in the history of the promotion game to win this milestone.'

'And for obtaining the Stellar Rank title "Blink God"!'

...

"..."

In the Annihilation Starfield, standing in the Wasteland, Jin Buhuan looked back at his employees and the surrounding players who were popping up with dazed expressions, and his lips slowly curled into a smile.

Perhaps it was due to always being Blue Star's runner-up.

They had also been placed in the Annihilation Starfield.

This rather ordinary Annihilation Starfield had probably never dreamt that one day it would simultaneously boast two Ninefold Planets.

This was an existence never before seen in the promotion game.

A single mountain can't house two tigers.

It's impossible for a Starfield to accommodate two Ninefold Planets, and no Ninefold Planet would simply watch its neighbor grow to the same height as itself.

But now, the Annihilation Starfield did it.

No, perhaps it didn't quite manage it.

Before the Dawn Clan's promotion, Blue Star had already advanced to a Tenfold Planet and left. In some ways, Annihilation Starfield still only had one Ninefold Planet, the Dawn Clan.

"..."

Jin Buhuan stood still, gazing at the rising sun on the horizon. After a long silence, he suddenly took a deep breath, the weariness of many days falling away. The furrow in his brow relaxed, and he couldn't help but throw open his arms and burst into an exuberant laugh.

No matter what it was like before.

No matter what they used to call their race.

But from today on, they will be known as the Dawn Clan, a name imbued with the promise of dawn.

It seemed there would never be a day for turning the tides but who could have expected that just as darkness was about to engulf the land, a blinding light of dawn, unstoppable by its very nature, would forcefully and mercilessly break through!

The players appearing out of thin air around him with dazed expressions were his former kin.

But having been janitors in hell for too long, their thinking had become sluggish and unclear, for in the deep recesses of hell, to be a janitor is torment within torment.

A normal person wouldn't last a year or two, let alone three days without becoming brain dead.

The body lives on, but the mind has committed suicide.

The body says: Just hold on a little longer; I can still survive this. Maybe later we can escape.

The mind says: Hold on your mother, if you want to hold on, then you hold on. I'm done living; go play by yourself!

After being brought back from the depths of hell, most of the players of his race had scattered thoughts like these. But it didn't matter; given time, these players should adjust.

Just need to let off some steam.

The position assigned to him by the Annihilation Starfield was a vast wasteland with not a single structure on it. They had no territory of their own planet, no buildings—nothing. It couldn't even be called ready for improvement, for they had nothing to improve; it was simply empty.

But that's not a big problem.

Now, they had more hope and expectations than at any time before.

After laughing heartily for a long while, Jin Buhuan.

Finally, he gradually stopped laughing.

His voice faded with the rising sun, disappearing into the spring breeze.

"The human world, truly fascinating."

...

And in the moment when Chen Yi advanced to Tenfold,

All the players in the Annihilation Starfield also

There can't be two tigers on one mountain.

In one starfield, it's impossible to accommodate two Ninefold planets; no Ninefold planet would watch its neighbor grow to the same stature without interference.

But now, the Annihilation Starfield had achieved it.

Or rather, not quite.

Before the Dawn Clan advanced, Blue Star had already ascended to Tenfold Planet and left. From a certain point of view, the Annihilation Starfield still had only one Ninefold planet: the Dawn Clan.

"..."

Jin Buhuan stood still, gazing at the rising sun on the horizon. After a long silence, he suddenly took a deep breath, the weariness of many days falling away. The furrow in his brow relaxed, and he couldn't help but throw open his arms and burst into an exuberant laugh.

And as Chen Yi ascended,
