[Southern part of the Inferno City]
[God Creation Assessment Grounds, Lv80 Divine Mountain Forest]
Qin Feng, Ling Xiao, and Xia Wanwan had just finished the third stage of the God Creation assessment. Because of Lin Mo's situation, all three were deeply worried.
Qin Feng said, "So, Brother Mo has to complete the secret realm quest and clear the secret realm before he can get out of the Land of Abandoned Ghosts?"
Ling Xiao said, "But in order to clear the secret realm, Big Brother has to complete the S-rank hidden quest Heart Knot and obtain the Tier 8 set equipment to increase his strength."
Xia Wanwan said, "But trapped in the Land of Abandoned Ghosts, Senior Lin Mo can't carry out the S-rank hidden quest Heart Knot…"
"Doesn't that mean he's fallen into a dead loop that can't be broken?"
Just as the three were struggling with this problem, several messages suddenly popped up in front of Ning Xi, sent by Lin Mo.
["The God Creation assessment, although it is a side quest branched off from my S-rank hidden quest Heart Knot, doesn't require only me to participate in the assessment. Everyone can participate in the assessment."]
["Anyone who passes all five rounds of the God Creation assessment can obtain 1% God Clan bloodline and become a disciple of the God Clan."]
["And as long as you become a disciple of the God Clan, you can ignore rank restrictions and enter the Divine Nation."]
Looking at the messages Lin Mo had sent.
Qin Feng was puzzled, "At a time like this, why is Brother Mo still thinking about the God Creation assessment?"
Xia Wanwan was also full of worry, "Yeah, the most urgent thing is to get out of the Land of Abandoned Ghosts as quickly as possible."
Just as Qin Feng, Ling Xiao, and Xia Wanwan were all confused, Ning Xi quickly understood.
Her eyes lit up, "I understand!"
"Although Brother Lin Mo is trapped in the Land of Abandoned Ghosts and can't carry out the quest, I can complete the quest for him!"
"As long as I help Brother Lin Mo complete the S-rank hidden quest Heart Knot, he can submit the quest inside the Land of Abandoned Ghosts and obtain the quest rewards, thereby increasing his strength, clearing the secret realm, and coming out!"
"This deadlock can be broken!"
Qin Feng and the other two widened their eyes like bells.
"Holy crap!"
"You can do that?"
Ning Xi said firmly, "There is no other way now. This is the only way at present to let Brother Lin Mo get out of the Land of Abandoned Ghosts!"
"Whether it works or not."
"I have to give it a try!"
As soon as Ning Xi finished speaking, Qin Feng and the other two immediately expressed their support, "Good! Since that's the case!"
"Sister-in-law, we'll definitely give you our full support!"
"Right, we'll work together to save Big Brother!"

[Western part of the Inferno City]
[Lv77 Soul Beast Mountain Range]
Several thousand [Genesis] players were spread throughout this enormous mountain range, in groups of three or five, forming parties to hunt the Level 77 monsters that could be seen everywhere in the mountains: Soul Beasts.
As expected, having been treated as tools, they were once again full of complaints.
"We're a five-thousand-man guild at the very least, and in the Inferno City, we're considered a first-line major guild! Yet we don't have any temper of our own at all and get used as cannon fodder all day! Ugh!"
"Yeah! The key is that we don't even get any benefits. Every time we're done being used, they kick us aside, and whenever they need us, we're expected to show up whenever they call."
"This is damn well not even as good as being in some small studio! When the hell are these days going to end?"
———
[Core area of the Soul Beast Mountain Range]
Under the mental commands of the Level 75 SSS-rank hidden-class Judge, Qin Ming, thirteen Level 75 Skeleton Warriors swept through the area, killing a group of Soul Beasts outside the entrance of a cave.
Immediately afterward, under Liu Kai's orders, several Genesis players entered the cave to investigate.
Before long, several people came out of the cave and brought back the news, "Brother Kai, nothing!"
At this moment, Liu Kai couldn't help casting a puzzled look toward Qin Ming, Ji Ningshuang, and Super God Athena.
"Big Brothers and Big Sisters, is that Soul Refining Orb you're talking about really in this Soul Beast Mountain Range? We've searched so many places already and still haven't found it."
Slash!
As the Level 74 Sword-and-Shield Warrior Super God Athena brought her blade down, she killed a Soul Beast.
She gently stroked the blade, her expression arrogant, "The information Godfather confirmed definitely won't be wrong. The Soul Refining Orb must be somewhere in this Soul Beast Mountain Range!"
"Search! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find it for me!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
A Genesis Guild assassin underling suddenly hurried over to report, "Bad news, Brother Kai! A player force is approaching from outside the Soul Beast Mountain Range!"
"They're coming aggressively, and they're players from the Divine Nation Guild!"
Liu Kai's whole body shook, "Holy crap! Divine Nation again! What the hell are they here for?"
The strategist, Genesis Yuange, analyzed, "Perhaps it's because of what happened in Ghost King City last time. They hold a grudge and have therefore come to take revenge on us."
Super God Athena, however, didn't take it seriously, "It's fine. I'll have Godfather tell them to get lost!"
Liu Kai was even more shocked, "Wait!"
"Sis, can your Godfather control the enormous Divine Nation Guild?"
Super God Athena gave a cold laugh, "Divine Nation? It's nothing more than a dog at my Godfather's feet."
"If not for my Godfather's investment all this time, the Divine Nation Guild, Ming Yuexin, and even her company in the real world would have gone bankrupt long ago. How could they have what they have today?"
"Would a dog dare disobey its master's orders?"
Liu Kai was deeply shocked.
He also began admiring her from the bottom of his heart, "Holy crap! Amazing!"
———
At the same time, outside the Soul Beast Mountain Range, the ten-thousand-man army of the Divine Nation Guild had just assembled.
Ming Yuexin, the Level 74 Sword-and-Shield Warrior at the head of the crowd, suddenly received an encrypted text message...
"Withdraw from the Soul Beast Mountain Range."
Looking at the encrypted text message blocking her, sent by the Ling Corporation's largest investor.
Ling Xue became even more certain, "Looks like the Soul Refining Orb that Nether and the others are looking for really is in this Soul Beast Mountain Range."
This time, Ling Xue seemed to have made up her mind, she casually closed the message.
Her beautiful eyes fixed on the Soul Beast Mountain Range ahead, and she gave an order, "Move!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Jun, Sun Yang, He Xiao, Lin Miaomiao, and the others all became ready for battle.
"Brothers."
"Kill!"
Kill!!
Amid a deafening roar, the Divine Nation Guild's army of tens of thousands of players launched an overwhelming attack toward the Soul Beast Mountain Range.
Such a commotion sent the Genesis players within the Soul Beast Mountain Range into a panic.
"Holy crap! The Divine Nation Guild is attacking again!"
"Brothers, what do we do?"
"Brother Kai didn't tell us to withdraw either!"
Core of the mountain range, Liu Kai was anxiously pacing in circles. "Bro! Sis! Didn't you say you'd have your Godfather order them to get lost? Why are they still attacking?"
Even Ji Ningshuang couldn't help frowning coldly, "What's going on?"
Super God Athena said, "I'll tell Godfather again."
———
On the other side.
As the Divine Nation Guild's army of players was about to enter the Soul Beast Mountain Range.
Ling Xue received another encrypted text message.
["I told you to withdraw from the Soul Beast Mountain Range!"]
["If you dare disobey, I will withdraw all investment in the Ling Corporation!"]
Clearly, the other party was genuinely anxious this time.
After sending the message, he didn't immediately deactivate the number.
Ling Xue replied to the other party through the text message.
It was also the first message Ling Xue had sent to the other party since the two sides began their "cooperation", "Go ahead."
At this moment, Ling Xue's eyes were incomparably resolute.
"This time, even if it means betting the Divine Nation, betting the entire Ling Corporation."
"I will absolutely no longer let you use me or manipulate me."
"Lin Mo, rest assured and break through the secret realm inside."
"Outside, you have me!"
With that, Ling Xue drew her sword with a "slash."
Her proud figure fully displayed the powerful aura of sixth place on the Heaven Rankings.
The next moment, Ling Xue held the Level 70 Tier 5 Red Weapon·Ice Soul Sword.
She led the Divine Nation Guild's army of ten thousand elite players.
And charged into the Soul Beast Mountain Range.
