There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Alright."

Without paying attention to the bickering of the two, Chen Yi lightly nodded his head and then took the lead in activating the Map Access Pass for "Ultimate Two." He didn't start from the "Ultimate One" map because he had already obtained parts of the Sea God's Suit from the two maps of "Ultimate Two."

He was quite the regular customer by now.

First, he'd assemble the complete Sea God's Suit in this map.

...

Meanwhile.

Within the "Ultimate Two" map.

In the depths of the sea, the man who had been engulfed in slumber now opened his eyes vacantly, allowing his body to drift aimlessly in the deep sea, his expression bewildered as if lost in thought.

It seemed like he had been asleep for a very long time.

He had always believed that no matter how much a person loved to sleep, at most they'd sleep for 48 hours at a stretch.

But ever since he entered this map, he realized he was wrong.

In this unchanging world, one could lose all sense of time, even forget their very existence. Thought itself would halt, and for a long while, he felt like he had been downgraded, from a three-dimensional being to a two-dimensional one.

During this time, things were basically as unvarying as ever.

The reason he used "basically" was mainly because there indeed had been some changes. For instance, a Thief, using the guise of a Gold Miner, had stolen two pairs of his boots.

Really...

The man's expression gradually became more vacuous as his memory drifted back to the past.

He was born on Blue Star. When the leveling game descended upon Blue Star, he struggled bitterly for only a month before he died, died again in hell, only not to fall deeper into hell to take up some cleaning job.

Rather, he was reborn.

He came back to three years earlier.

But he was not reborn on Blue Star, but on another planet called "Beautiful Star." When he was reborn, the leveling game had just begun there; society was not yet in chaos, and many people even took it lightly.

But taking advantage of his rebirth, although unclear about the maps and events of this new planet, he knew the harrowing nature of the leveling game. He immediately started buying up Points, then charged into the maps desperately.

He knew the Map Difficulty was easiest when the leveling game first descended. If he didn't strive in the maps at that time, in a few months he wouldn't even have the chance to struggle; he could only wait for death.

And so, seizing the initiative, he smoothly became the strongest player on that planet.

When the planet successfully advanced to Twofold Planet, he tried looking for Blue Star, but after paying a considerable price and searching through all Novice Planet names without finding Blue Star, he realized it had not yet faced the onset of a leveling game.

To be honest, he felt a bit smug inside. He believed he could keep enhancing his strength with his advantage. Then, when Blue Star was thrown into crisis by the leveling game, perhaps he could descend as a savior and rescue everyone from the brink.

At least, with him in this life, Blue Star would have fewer player deaths.

But before he could put any of this into action, he entered the "Ultimate Two" map. He swore it was not intentional; he had stumbled upon it by sheer coincidence.

Once inside, he found the Map Difficulty was not very high either.

All he needed to do was catch ten fish by the seaside and then hold his breath for two minutes underwater. This wasn't much of a challenge for someone who grew up by the sea; he completed the task with ease.

Then...

"Task reward: Replace the original boss of 'Ultimate Two,' assume the role of the current 'Ultimate Two' map boss, until another player comes to replace you."

Yes.

When that announcement sounded in his ears, he felt a murderous rage surge within him.

So, he stayed here, not knowing for how long. From initially hoping desperately for someone to quickly come and take over to eventually giving up hope altogether, so much time passed that he could not die even if he wished for it.

And at that moment—

A voice announcing a promotion abruptly rang in his ear.

"'Ultimate Two' map opening conditions have been satisfied. As the final boss, the Sea God Posidon of 'Ultimate Two,' you can now go home."

"Thank you for everything!"

"We will remember you."

"I get it, I get it," the emotionally confused man muttered somewhat irritably. "You've said these platitudes over and over; don't come to bother me again, or you'll see if I..."

But before he could finish.

His speech came to an abrupt halt.

The man abruptly sat up in the sea, barefoot, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at the panel before him, his eyes wide with fear, like a drowning man spotting a straw but worried it's just a mirage.

"Conditions have been met...you can go home..."

The man's pallid lips, bleached by the brine, trembled uncontrollably as he read each word on the panel before him, making sure it truly meant he could go home.

And not the warning panel he had seen before.

"'Ultimate Two' map opening conditions are not yet satisfied, as the final boss, the Sea God Posidon of 'Ultimate Two,' you should behave yourself."

"Any further misconduct will be at your own peril!"

It was truly the panel that meant he could go home.

Finally, unable to contain his joy, his face aglow with excitement and heedless of anything else, he shouted out loud, "Hahaha, I'm going home, I can finally go home. "

...

Accompanied by a flash of white light.

The Map Access Pass for "Ultimate Two" had shattered, and Chen Yi had arrived at a beach. In front of the beach lay a boundless sea, and the beach itself was not very large; behind it were lush forests and thickets.
