Do we still have to go through the ‘Believe in Shadow’ phase?

Despair and panic swept across the entire Blue Star faster than a Plague.

People soon learned that both inside and outside the game, eight such asteroids, surrounded by blazing flames, were falling from an altitude of thousands of kilometers!

That's sixteen in total!

When Qin Feng learned this news from Wan Ye Wei Yu, he couldn't help but smile.

This way, wouldn't he be able to gain even more experience points from it?

"I don't know the experience coefficient for celestial targets yet."

"But since they're Immortal-grade celestial bodies, the experience coefficient definitely won't be low, right?"

"Maybe I can sprint straight to level 60 in one go."

The experience accumulated recently was enough to bring Qin Feng to level 56, nearly 57. If he could reach level 60, he could directly participate in the second Calamity Ancient God Challenge and meet Leng Che's siblings.

However, for Qin Feng, this was good news.

But for others, this news was a bit terrifying.

Eight wasn't enough!

Sixteen!

Was this really going to destroy the entire Blue Star?

Even Wan Ye Wei Yu's expression became extremely solemn. Within five minutes, sixteen asteroids located all over the world—could 'Shadow' handle them in time?

Countless people in the Hideout were discussing nervously.

Although the Sky Vault Guild was already a top-tier guild in Great Xia with an average player level of over 35, they were helpless in the face of such a global disaster.

Once the meteors from the sky crashed down, it wouldn't just be a single wave of damage!

If it were just a one-time burst of damage, they could have used some means to resist, but…

[Triangle Knows Me]: "Shadow, look, it's Shadow!!"

[Immoral Rotating Gear]: "Holy crap, it really is! When did the big shot get back?"

[Materialist Mage]: "Damn it! I led my team to grind monsters day and night to get stronger, but in the end, do we still have to go through the 'Believe in Shadow' phase?"

[Groundhog Attacks Roman Church]: "Shadow is back, we're saved!!"

…

A series of exclamations rang out from the players in the Sky Vault Guild, filled with anticipation.

Just then, an old man in a black robe flickered and appeared in front of Qin Feng.

It was none other than the NPC 'Rhythm Master · Evil Sound Old Ghost'.

With a solemn face, he approached Qin Feng and raised his hand from beneath his black robe, placing it in front of him.

This action startled both Qin Feng and the two women beside him.

"Old Ghost, what are you doing?"

Qin Feng looked puzzled.

Then, Evil Sound Old Ghost took off a ring from his finger and solemnly handed it to Qin Feng…

Seeing this, the Soul Painter girl had a brain fart: "Senior Evil Sound, now is not a good time for a proposal!"

Evil Sound Old Ghost: "?"

Wan Ye Wei Yu: "?"

Qin Feng: "?"

"What the…"

Evil Sound Old Ghost nearly collapsed and quickly explained to Qin Feng, "It's not a proposal… this ring comes with a divinity rule effect that forces your attacks to hit the target's weak point. If the target has no weak point, it will create one. It's perfect for attacking celestial targets!"

"Oh, okay."

Zhang Jinxuan retreated awkwardly behind Qin Feng, her face so red she didn't dare to speak…

But Qin Feng didn't care what she said.

He glanced at Evil Sound Old Ghost's ring: "Fine, give it to me first."

Evil Sound Old Ghost: "I will first help you convert it into equipment you can use…"

Qin Feng: "No need. All I want is that rule. Once the rule is stripped, I'll return the ring to you."

Hearing this, Evil Sound Old Ghost gasped: "You've already obtained rule stones? This ring is high-level equipment; a small amount of rule stones might not be enough to strip its rule…"

Qin Feng: "…"

Qin Feng then remembered that he indeed hadn't communicated with these NPCs for quite a while.

Whether it was Evil Sound Old Ghost, the Thieving Saint, Knowledge Eye Aristotle, or the other NPCs 'swindled' back by the Sky Vault Guild, their memory of Qin Feng's strength was likely stuck several versions ago.

"Old Ghost, your version is a bit outdated."

Qin Feng took the ring and patted the old man's shoulder: "rule stones? I have over a thousand on me right now. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Evil Sound Old Ghost almost fainted.

"Over a thousand rule stones?"

"What kind of monster is this Shadow? Is he even human?"

"The God Forsaken Game on Blue Star has only been going on for four months!!"

"Normally, an entire Reincarnation Civilization would only produce one or two hundred rule stones from start to finish…"

Amazement, shock, confusion… all sorts of emotions exploded in Evil Sound Old Ghost's mind.

He had originally come to help Qin Feng, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

In his view, this life was indeed a very likely chance for the Blue Star to achieve Ascension, but he had never even seen the fifth world spine; he had only heard it was an extremely terrifying boss…

And now, even these falling asteroids seemed difficult to deal with, let alone the fifth world spine?

The old man was sharp enough to sense that these falling asteroids might be a precursor attack from the fifth world spine.

These asteroids alone required Transcendent-tier damage to be destroyed!

"Even Chairman Shadow shouldn't be able to deal Transcendent-tier damage when facing celestial targets…"

"Now, I must step up and help."

That was why he was willing to step up.

He also hoped that Qin Feng could lead the Blue Star Civilization to complete Ascension this time, allowing him to regain his status as a player.

Of course, Evil Sound Old Ghost was also quite pained; that ring was one of his trump card pieces of equipment.

At this moment, Qin Feng took the ring and looked at its divinity rule effect:

——

[divinity rule: Death Gaze! Consume 566 divinity points to activate the Death Gaze state for 12 seconds. During this period, your attacks will forcibly hit the target's weak point (if none exist, one will be created), and weak point damage is doubled.]

——

This was a level 75 Immortal-grade divinity armament, crafted with special materials from the Order Land, which increased the cost of activating the rule to 566 points.

Qin Feng immediately took out a rule stone and got to work!

One, two…

System notifications of 'Stripping Failed' rang out continuously. Since it was a level 75 divinity armament rule, the probability of Stripping it was much lower than the equipment Qin Feng had encountered before.

It wasn't until Qin Feng had used over seventy rule stones in a row that a 'ding' finally sounded—Stripping Successful!
