North of Qing City Airport, riding his little electric scooter, Wang Dapang had fed all of his escorting Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the Gluttonous Snake. He looked back at the Gluttonous Snake, which had deliberately slowed down to toy with him. Wang Dapang’s heart filled with grief and indignation.

To die before my mission even begins!

The pain in Wang Dapang’s heart was immense.

I’m the one chosen by fate! The superman destined to inherit one hundred thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and countless red-quality Heroes! How can I die like this?!

Desperately riding his electric scooter, Wang Dapang had no intention of giving up, even after all his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had perished. He wouldn’t stop for even a second until the Gluttonous Snake swallowed him.

"Qing City Airport!!!"

An unknown amount of time passed. Focused solely on escaping, Wang Dapang finally saw the dilapidated Qing City Airport terminal at the edge of his vision. Unfortunately, he also saw the massive Gluttonous Snake, which had closed the distance to just a few hundred meters behind him. From all the devouring along the way, the Gluttonous Snake had grown another size larger.

"Huh??"

Just as Wang Dapang was about to risk it all and dive into a nearby creek to escape, a huge streak of light suddenly shot across the sky, arriving directly above his head. Then, he saw an ancient Xia Country Heavy Sword descending from the heavens. Glowing red-hot from air friction, it plummeted toward him like an inverted rocket.

What the hell!! What did I do to deserve this?! A snake is chasing me, and now a giant sword is trying to crush me?!

Seeing the Heavy Sword, which was a full hundred meters long, Wang Dapang shrieked.

SWOOSH!

In his panic, the Heavy Sword swerved, grazing his scalp as it shot past him and slammed into the massive Gluttonous Snake in pursuit. Ignoring his singed hair, Wang Dapang instantly snapped his head around and saw shock and terror in the eyes of the massive Gluttonous Snake that had been chasing him this entire time.

Then, Wang Dapang witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life. The powerful, all-devouring Gluttonous Snake that had consumed all of Xihong City was pierced through the head by the giant Heavy Sword as easily as a hot knife through butter. After that, the giant sword slid smoothly from head to tail, running through the entire length of the massive Gluttonous Snake’s body as if deboning an eel. In the blink of an eye, the enormous, cylindrical body of the Gluttonous Snake was split in two. Then, the remains of its corpse shattered into countless fragments...

"Holy crap!!!!" Watching the massive Gluttonous Snake turn to fragments, Wang Dapang understood—it was dead! These special game creatures turn into fragments upon death.

"What the actual f—!!!!"

The once-invincible Gluttonous Snake had been killed so easily, so anticlimactically, by a Heavy Sword that fell from the sky. Wang Dapang was terrified.

Was this the work of a human? Or a God? A Cultivator who inherited a Cultivation Game? A Flying Sword technique? An Immortal Emperor-level master?

Wang Dapang swallowed hard, trying to figure out who was behind the Heavy Sword. After shattering the Gluttonous Snake, the sword had already dissipated into the air.

His thoughts getting him nowhere, a trembling Wang Dapang went back and picked up the two pitch-black eyeballs that the Gluttonous Snake had dropped upon death...

This belongs to the master, it’s not mine!!!

He saw that the two pitch-black eyeballs were actually incredible game items. Looking at their unexpectedly powerful Attributes—stats he could never have dreamed of—Wang Dapang didn’t dare entertain a single thought of keeping them for himself.

There’s a God in Qing City? Then I’ll go to Qing City to latch onto this powerhouse, and while I’m at it, I’ll return these two Black Gemstones to the master!

The terrified Wang Dapang looked at the messages popping up in his livestream’s chat, and he finally learned that Qing City had just repelled the Undead Calamity. Based on the earlier Water and Fire Tornado and the world-ending pillar of light, he figured this giant Heavy Sword was very likely unleashed by the same master.

Terrified, Wang Dapang, who had just been preparing for his demise, saw millions of people flood into his livestream in an instant. Through the endless barrage of scrolling comments, he deduced that the master was likely located in Qing City!

Deliver the items to the master! And latch onto them!

Tucking away the items dropped by the massive Gluttonous Snake, Wang Dapang righted his little electric scooter and once again sped toward Qing City.

Wang Dapang, of course, knew that bosses in games dropped items when they died. But that the massive Gluttonous Snake in reality would also drop items upon death—and items with such explosive Attributes at that—was something he had never imagined. He knew that the massive Gluttonous Snake was intelligent, but he had never thought that this creature would actually drop loot after dying. However, when it involved that incredible master, he felt that anything was possible. In any case, the items belonged to the master. And he... he kind of wanted to become the master’s accessory. Under the pretext of delivering the items, he felt he had a valid reason to meet this master...

PUTT!

PUTT!

PUTT!

Starting his electric scooter without turning off the livestream, Wang Dapang adjusted his mindset and set off once more...

A massive Gluttonous Snake? Is it the one that destroyed countless cities in my past life? I don’t remember there being a Gluttonous Snake in Xihong City!

「A few minutes earlier,」

Having just unleashed the Star-Slaying Tower’s high-tech beam attack, Shen Fei was surprised to see news online about a Gluttonous Snake destroying Xihong City and heading toward Qing City. In his past life, due to Earth’s expansion, the distance between Xihong City and Qing City was short before game abilities were inherited. But after the inheritance, as time went on, the distance between them grew further and further.
