There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Yes."

Xu Yue hesitated for a moment before nodding, "That breath is the testament of killing deities, one that never fades, but it does fade gradually over time or with reincarnation."

"Both you and Tuberculosis Rabbit have a strong scent of it. The deities that died by your hands are at least more than three."

"As for Yi..."

She didn't continue.

The aura on Chen Yi was so intense that it terrified her. She couldn't quantify it, only knowing it was too dense to ignore. Perhaps it was for this reason that Santa Claus decided to build a good relationship in advance and sent his smartest little reindeer as a pet to Chen Yi.

How could such a person not catch one's attention?

If she had to use a quantifier, at least nearly a hundred...

Yes, nearly a hundred.

If it were a single deity, the word "honorable" might be used to express respect and preciousness, but for a hundred deities, it feels more appropriate to use the word "heads."

Chen Yi didn't speak, just took a deep breath.

And slowly activated the skill "Ascend to the Heavens in One Step."

The next second—

He suddenly felt the walking stick in his hand growing hot, and then the staff slowly began to deform, turning into a crimson long knife with an orange-red flame burning along its blade.

The scorching temperature forced Xu Yue and others standing nearby to retreat several steps.

"Yi!"

Guessing that Chen Yi might be about to do something, Xu Yue, with a trace of panic flashing in her pupils, urgently blurted out, "Yi, you mustn't take action, once the deity awakes the consequences—"

However, before she finished speaking.

She felt the surroundings plunge into darkness—not because it was nightfall, but because the orange flame on the long knife in Chen Yi's hand was so bright that it allowed no other object to be seen by those around him.

It was as if night had fallen.

Sensing his own body gradually heating up, Chen Yi gripped the long knife, closed his eyes slowly, and then, as his pupils burst open, the orange-red flames wildly ignited within.

Chen Yi swung the knife forcefully.

A streak of orange-red blade light drifted slowly and yet swiftly toward the God of Knights bound in chains at the center of the deep pit.

"Roar!"

As if sensing danger, the God of Knights, who had been standing with closed eyes, suddenly opened them, a barely detectable fear flashing in his eyes. Accompanied by a roar, the countless chains that had bound him suddenly all shattered!

He was about to lift the great sword in his hands to resist!

But it was too late!

The orange-red blade light fell on the God of Knights with a seemingly light touch, without leaving any wound, as if sunlight silently penetrated into the giant body of the God of Knights.

The next second—

The God of Knights's body stiffened in place, the emotions in his eyes suddenly froze, as if his thoughts had ceased to function, the God of Knights—who stood thousands of kilometers tall.

His body began to crumble away slowly.

It was a complete disintegration.

Not even a shred of flesh or bone was left behind, turning into orange-red light and dissipating on the spot.

"Absolute Slay," "Absolute Hit," "Absolute Inability to Revive," and several other Absolute Attributes combined made for a transcendent existence.

The God of Knights.

Today, dies!

As the God of Knights disintegrated.

A notification sound nearly echoed in the ears of countless players.

'Ding, announcement for the whole Starfield of the Annihilation Starfield!'

'The planets involved in this announcement include Turtle Star, Zhiwa Star, Egglet Star... totaling 611 planets.'

'Affiliated to Star System No. 3 of the Annihilation Starfield, player Chen Yi from the planet Blue Star on Zerofold Planet, has successfully killed the deity 'God of Knights' during the Novice Period!'

'He is the first player in the history of Ascend game to kill a deity, and also the first to do so during the Novice Period!'

'Unprecedented, with none to follow!'

'Absolutely shocking!'

'This event has shocked countless players, has been selected for the grand events of Ascend game, will permanently leave its mark in Ascend game, and a statue representing this event will be erected in the Hall of Honor of Ascend game.'

'And achieved a milestone in Ascend game!'

'Milestone Name: Heaven Cleaving Blade!'

'Conditions to Achieve: The first player to kill a deity.'

'Let us congratulate Chen Yi for being the first player to earn this milestone in the history of Ascend game.'

'And has earned the Stellar Rank title 'Heaven Cleaving Blade'!'

...

The continuous stream of notifications rang in the ears of countless players.

While Xu Yue, standing aside, had already become stupefied in place, her face filled with shock and disbelief, indifferent to the fact that she was greatly losing her composure!

Those chains were meant to absolutely bind the gods!

It had been this way for a thousand years, without any exceptions.

So why did the God of Knights suddenly break free from the chains before dying, does it mean that the God of Knights had always had the capability of escaping? How could this be possible?

And...

Did Chen Yi just kill a deity?

Although she had sensed a large amount of the scent left behind from killing deities on Chen Yi, she had always thought that was something from his past lives, that this life was still in its early stages, but... but...

...

Chen Yi looked down at the long knife in his hand as the flames slowly dissipated, then looked up at the deep pit where, due to the death of its comrade, the fire in the eyes of the undead blazed, roaring as it too broke free of the chains, smashing its fist into the ground in front of it.
