There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"..."

Within the territory of the White Phoenix Clan, Chen Yi's eyebrows slightly furrowed without speaking, as he took out the Wonder Atlas from his chest and looked towards the once top-ranked "Tomb of the Gods," created by Jiang Chenglu.

"Wonder Name": Tomb of the Gods.

"Wonder Ranking": 6th place.

"Wonder Effects": Eleven deities were slain by player Jiang Chenglu on Starfield, their flesh forever enduring, ceaselessly impacting the surroundings even in death. All players within the vicinity of the deities' realm will feel an oppressive deterrent force, and within the deities' domain, all props, skills, and titles will be drastically reduced.

"Wonder Origin": It was accidentally unearthed by Jiang Chenglu, a player from the Mo Clan of Sky Desert Star in the 17th star system of the Deity Starfield, on the planet Ninefold. After battling for seven days and nights, player Jiang Chenglu single-handedly slew all eleven deities here.

The bodies of the deities do not decay but endure eternally, and the dignity of the deities insists that even in death they do not fall, thus creating this rare wonder.

"Wonder Location": Deity Starfield, within the Mo Clan territory.

"Wonder Creator": Jiang Chenglu.

This was once the top-ranked wonder, of course, but now the top rank has become "Tomb of the Tomb of the Tomb of the Tomb of the Tomb of the Tomb, creator Tie Chui." The last time this ranking was completely messed up by their team, dominating the top five places.

What puzzled him was,

Clearly stated in this wonder effect, eleven deities were killed by player Jiang Chenglu, but why did the recent announcement say he was the first player to kill a deity?

Yes.

He saw it very clearly.

That milestone was not about the first player to kill a deity during the Novice Period; the announcement also didn't say it was the first player to kill a deity during the Novice Period, but the first player to kill a deity.

That is to say...

The one Jiang Chenglu killed was not a real deity?

But if so, why does the description on the wonder panel still refer to a deity?

While Chen Yi was frowning and pondering this issue, the White Phoenix Clan Empress Xu Yue suddenly knelt down with a plop, her eyes tearful and voice trembling, "Yi, for so many years, the White Phoenix Clan has imprisoned these two deities, expending a great deal of manpower and resources, but the occasional leakage of divine power has still brought great losses to the White Phoenix Clan."

"Today, Yi, your slaying of these two deities has relieved the White Phoenix Clan of further worries."

"Every member of the White Phoenix Clan is profoundly grateful and at a loss for how to repay your kindness. From now on, should you ever need the assistance of the White Phoenix Clan, we will not hesitate, even if it means going through fire and water!"

"..."

Chen Yi did not speak but casually said, "Didn't you tell me before that once the deities are dead, you could return to the normal timeline?"

"I..."

Xu Yue suddenly became stuck, fumbling for words.

"Alright."

Chen Yi shook his head and gestured for Xu Yue to get up, "Let's not delve into the past, I need to return now; I have some matters to attend to."

...

He did not stay with the White Phoenix Clan any longer but instead returned to Blue Star.

There were many things he didn't understand.

He hadn't even checked what effects the awarded title had, as his mind was almost a blank slate, still struggling to wake up from the concept of being an Immortal.

Lying on the beach chair, Chen Yi looked dazed and was silent for a long time before turning his head towards Tuberculosis Rabbit, "Do you know something?"

"Mhm."

Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded, slightly embarrassed as he touched his nose, "I did recover some memory a while back but didn't tell you, Yi. Mainly because it's too fantastical, you wouldn't believe me, and it wasn't necessary. It would only disrupt your peace of mind."

"You are indeed an Immortal."

"But not quite an Immortal."

"True Immortals have lived from thousands of years ago until now, whereas you, Yi, have gone through countless reincarnations, but unlike normal people's reincarnation, you didn't follow the process of reincarnation. Instead, you reincarnated directly out of the timeline."

"This means your actual age is indeed very long, at least longer than those deities."

"Longer than the deities."

Chen Yi's murmured in a trance, and after a long pause, he continued, "What about you? Tuberculosis Rabbit, are you an Immortal too?"

"Mhm mhm."

Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded again, "If you insist on understanding it that way, it's not incorrect. During the last God Slaughter War, we lost, and although the deities won, they too fell into slumber."

"You could say both parties were injured."

"And the survivors on our side gathered all their strength to create this game of level progression. There weren't enough resources to satisfy everyone, so we had to filter out the most deserving of the resources through the level progression game. We then nurtured the strongest over time, to use against the deities."

"My ability is to help you Yi, fend off calamities. You have not experienced a true reincarnation because of my ability. A true reincarnation would mean forgetting all memories, like Sword Without End who died completely and then lived a new life."

"And when you, Yi, reach a certain juncture, you will recover all your memories. This is my last lifetime. If we lose again in this life, you won't ever see me again."

"If... we win this life, then it all ends."

"We have lost many times, but this time we have the most hope of winning."
