Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

At the scene, in the live streams of various broadcasters, the audience erupted.

["Holy crap! A legendary plot twist! Turns out it was the Empire Guild framing Zero the whole time?"]

["So, who's the real traitor? Is it really the Empire Guild?"]

["Unbelievable! Everyone, let's watch this again…"]

For a moment, all the accusations pointed directly at Liu Sheng.

At this moment, with ironclad evidence in front of him, Liu Sheng understood that no amount of explanation would matter.

He admitted it!

In his panic, he instead burst into laughter: "Yes, that's right! I framed Zero to manipulate the Empire Guild's power against you!"

"But I must say, you're really lucky! Even such a deadly trap, you managed to escape unscathed."

"It's not luck." Zhang Yue calmly said, "It's just that every one of your actions and plans has been under my control."

"From the beginning, the God-Binding Curse Technique already exposed you all."

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

"The God-Binding Curse Technique? If I'm not mistaken, isn't that a unique product of the Eastern Kingdom?"

Even Xu Aiguo, standing nearby, was greatly shocked.

Back then, he had introduced the God-Binding Curse Technique from Eastern and sold it to Chen Jun, intending for Chen Jun to use it to trap Zhang Yue in the Underworld Wedding dungeon and kill him.

What he didn't expect was that Zhang Yue had already noticed it at that time

Of course, Zhang Yue knew that Chen Jun was merely a pawn manipulated by the Empire Guild. Now that Chen Jun was dead and Chen Long had taken over the Chen Family Army, Zhang Yue decided not to mention old grievances to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for Chen Long.

Looking at Liu Sheng, Zhang Yue said, "Using a product from Eastern against our people, sending assassins to kill our professional contestants—did you even consider whether you had the brains to pull this off?"

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

"What? Those assassins targeting contestants in past years were arranged by this Empire Guild Vice President?"

"Damn! This traitor! A lackey of the Eastern Kingdom! He should be cut into pieces!"

At this moment, Xu Aiguo was terrified.

He feared that Liu Sheng might expose him.

But at the same time, he had confidence in Liu Sheng.

From childhood, Xu Aiguo had treated Liu Sheng like his own son, and he knew Liu Sheng would never betray him so easily.

Moreover, the evidence Zhang Yue currently held only pointed to Liu Sheng alone.

With Liu Sheng taking the fall, Zhang Yue wouldn't trace anything back to Xu Aiguo.

But just as Xu Aiguo was thinking this, Zhang Yue's next words made his heart leap into his throat.

"Speak. Who's the mastermind behind all this?"

Even Ouyang Ling'er and the others were surprised.

"What? There's an even bigger boss? This Empire Guild Vice President isn't the real mastermind?"

"Wow! The Empire Guild is deeply hidden!"

Liu Sheng was also clearly stunned for a moment, then quickly insisted, "I am the mastermind!"

"You?" Zhang Yue glanced at Liu Sheng and casually said two words: "Too Dumb."

An amateur professional who had just turned 18 this year, inexperienced and young—what qualifications did he have to cooperate with Eastern Kingdom?

Moreover, the assassinations targeting contestants began years ago, long before Liu Sheng could have been involved.

At that time, how old was Liu Sheng?

With his status and abilities, how could he mobilize such a hidden force?

Zhang Yue had long known that Liu Sheng was just a pawn, and the one manipulating him was someone else entirely.

So, even though he had the evidence from the start, Zhang Yue deliberately waited until now to reveal it.

On one hand, Zhang Yue was busy completing the SSS-level collection mission in the Ninth World and didn't have time.

On the other hand, it was to use Liu Sheng as bait to lure out the bigger mastermind!

"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be present here as well."

Zhang Yue's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Xu Aiguo.

He didn't say anything, but just one look made Xu Aiguo, a 300-level, seventh-tier veteran professional, feel an overwhelming pressure from Zhang Yue, who was only a few dozen levels.

Xu Aiguo didn't dare to meet Zhang Yue's gaze.

To divert suspicion from himself, he immediately ran to Xu Bei, crying and wailing, "Xiao Bei! I thought I'd never see you again. It's so good to see you alive."

Xu Bei, not knowing the situation, thought Xu Aiguo was genuinely concerned and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Dad, for making you worry."

Then, Xu Aiguo turned to Liu Sheng and scolded him loudly, "I treated you like my own son, and you dared to collude with Eastern Kingdom behind my back."

"You've disgraced me and the Empire Guild."

In front of Xu Aiguo, Liu Sheng knelt and kowtowed.

To prevent Zhang Yue from interrogating Liu Sheng further, Xu Aiguo ordered, "Kill this traitor!"

Several warriors from the Empire Guild rushed forward and killed Liu Sheng on the spot.

Finally, Xu Aiguo approached Zhang Yue, pretending to be apologetic: "It turns out this was just a misunderstanding! Young man, I'm sorry you had to bear such accusations."

"After all, I'm a patriot, and the one thing I can't tolerate is a traitor! I almost wronged you because of this."

"As compensation, on behalf of the Empire Guild and in my personal capacity, I'll gift you a level-60, eight-star, all-metal attribute S-rank Eternal Set! I hope you'll forgive my oversight this time."

One had to admit, Xu Aiguo was skilled at handling people.

His actions left no room for criticism.

Even the surrounding crowd couldn't help but praise him:

"As expected of the Empire Guild's Vice President! Such grace!"

"Holy crap! An eight-star S-rank Eternal Set? That must be worth a fortune! What a windfall!"

Zhang Yue, however, simply smiled faintly.

Though he understood some things, now wasn't the time to expose them.

So, Zhang Yue addressed the professionals of the Empire Guild: "This has nothing to do with your empire. I didn't want to harm your people, but since you attacked the people of Heavens Hall first, it's only fair I retaliate tenfold."

Xu Aiguo quickly responded, "Fair! Absolutely fair! It was our mistake first."

"To compensate for the deaths of your people, I'll pay ten times the economic loss and gift each of them an A-rank Eternal Set."

Since Xu Aiguo was offering compensation in his personal capacity, Zhang Yue saw no reason to refuse.

On the surface, Zhang Yue politely said, "Thank you, President Xu. For my set, please prepare one for the Assassin class."

After a few polite exchanges, Xu Aiguo left with the Empire Guild members.

Although this seemed like a misunderstanding, Zhang Yue's reputation soared due to his one-man standoff with the Empire Guild.
