  New book uploaded! Dear friends, I beg of you... click collect and recommend... I'm overwhelmed with gratitude!

  I am a handsome and elegant dividing line

  "Friends, welcome to this issue of 'Epoch Times'."

  "The Divine Battle has been held for three whole months, and the two people who emerged from the 200 million contestants will participate in the final championship match." The host introduced the situation sweetly. "One of them is the most popular War Emperor - Fú Shēng! As everyone knows, War Emperor Fú Shēng is a 200-level legendary warrior, not only does he possess a terrifying sub-legendary Blood Flow suit, but what's even more powerful is the Broken Blade in his hand - one of the Twelve Inheritance equipment!"

  "Zhan Huang has been undefeated in the past three months of competition, and is the strongest dark horse to win the championship!"

  "And another person..."

  In the Divine Dueling Arena, every time Lin Jie swung his great sword, the sharp sword energy was like a tornado, sweeping away all the monsters around Mount Aro Snow, unable to withstand his powerful sword wind.

  Lin Jie's title is War Emperor! : Floating Life!

  "Epoch" has been online for 7 years, and the final divine war is finally open. The rewards of the divine war, in addition to tens of millions of cash and lucrative endorsement contracts, also include a very important item: Biological Warehouse!

  Bio-warehouse, a top-level military scientific product, with only 3 units in the world, one of which is the prize for this divine war. It can greatly enhance human physical function, and as long as you stay in the bio-warehouse for a long time, you will be free from disease and disaster, and even extend your lifespan. And for Lin Jie, it has an even more important meaning: to save his mother and sister back.

  In a mysterious car accident, his mother and sister fell into a coma, his father bore the huge pressure of working day and night, finally exhausted and hospitalized, all household expenses relied on Lin Jie to support.

  When he heard the final reward of the Divine War, he was so excited that he couldn't sit still. For three whole months, Lin Jie immersed himself in the game world, with only 2 hours of competition every day, and the remaining 22 hours were all used for training. His level rose to a new height, and he even relied on his inheritance to cut through the thorns and enter the final.

  "Just one more victory!" Lin Jie's eyes gleamed with light, and he let out a loud shout, his long sword merging into two intersecting blood-red crosses.

  His opponent was a person he had never heard of: Bai Li Chang Cheng. When Lin Jie could gather information, he discovered that his background was so grand, the current extremely famous Grand Guilds: Glory Dynasty, Dark Inheritance Knights, and Mages' Paradise were all his subordinate guilds, controlling more than 20 cities...

  It's ridiculous that such a wealthy and powerful player is unknown to others. The most terrifying thing is the person who endures silently!

  The next day, everyone gathered at the Divine Colosseum. The huge arena was packed with players, and the event was broadcast live around the world.

  "Friends, he is invincible, his momentum shakes the sky, one sword has killed countless heroes, his armor can withstand thousands of horses and soldiers, let's shout out his name!" The host excitedly stirred up the atmosphere, his eyes filled with worship as he looked at Lin Jie.

  "Fight for the Emperor! Fight for the Emperor!"

  "Floating Life! War Emperor Floating Life!"

  ……

  Hundreds of millions of players shouted in unison, their loud roar parted the dark clouds in the sky and sunlight shone down!

  A dark, mysterious armor with thorns covering every inch of his skin, Lin Jie slowly emerged onto the stage. He drew out the long sword from behind him, its deep blood groove only extending to three-quarters of the blade - this was the legendary Broken Blade! The moment he drew out the sword, the atmosphere on site became even more intense, with many people becoming so excited that they fainted.

  "And another one is mysterious and powerful... the Great Wall of China!" The host struggled to find words, but only managed to say "mysterious" with a high tone.

  "The Great Wall of China? Never heard of it."

  "Haha, what nonsense, compared to Emperor Zhan?"

  Among the laughter and scorn, Baili Longcheng walked onto the arena with a silver-white mask, his eyes filled with mockery, as if looking at a pitiful person. He wore a thick cloak that covered all his equipment, making it impossible to discern any details.

  "Are you kidding me? You're not going streaking, are you?"

  "Get out, trash!"

  The audience cheered for this Great Wall.

  Lin Jie lowered his long sword to the ground and said indifferently, "Come on."

  The Hundred Miles Long Wall stretched out his right hand and turned a circle counterclockwise, smiling and saying, "Let you have the first move."

  Lin Jie let out a cold hum, he didn't have the nerve to say something like "I have the air of a master, you go first". What he most yearned for was the biological warehouse, to take it back and save his mother and sister. Since his opponent let him go first, he immediately took action, in just half a second, with 12 battle roars infused, his muscles swelled up by a circle.

  Wild Charge!

  Lin Jie transformed into dozens of black shadows that rushed forward, the audience's shouting voices became more and more shocking, as if Lin Jie had already won! In their eyes, Zhan Huang's victory was too normal, as long as the blade fell, that thing called Bai Li Chang Cheng would definitely lose.

  The long sword slashed a bloody arc, the blood gas was violently opened, death boiled over, and all states were stacked! The blood gas surging on Lin Jie's body seemed like a demon, slashing down fiercely!

  "Hmm——"

  A piercing sound pierced people's eardrums, and the Great Wall of China stretched out its index finger. A thick protective cover appeared in front!

  Lin Jie gritted his teeth, the long sword seemingly chopping at a tough membrane that was hard to penetrate even an inch. The strong winds rose, and the cloak of the Hundred Miles Long Wall was torn open in a small corner, with countless divine lights flickering in and out of sight.

  "This person..."

  "You're too useless." With a flick of his finger, Lin Jie flew out like a cannonball and crashed heavily to the ground, creating a deep crater.

  Lin Jie wiped off a handful of fresh blood, and his 50,000-point health bar dropped to 500 points! What kind of terrifying damage was this? However, this was exactly what he wanted - the lower the Berserker's health, the higher his attack power. This was his peak state!

  The vast Blood Cross condensed in mid-air, just like a collapsing high tower crashing down!

  "You lost." The Hundred Miles Long Wall smiled slightly, and the Blood Soul Ten Characters condensed in mid-air. The Blood Soul Ten Characters was the strongest skill attached to the Broken Blade, with a cooldown time of as long as 2 natural months. After activation, the master would lose 50% of their maximum life value forever, unable to recover it. Such an extreme punishment, even for a "War Emperor", this number would be scrapped. Now, such a terrifying skill was actually easily fixed in mid-air!

  "What a pity, the strongest equipment has such a weak effect. If you had unlocked it completely, I wouldn't have been able to win against you... what a shame..." Ba Li Chang Cheng said with a sigh and a shake of his head, but suddenly, the Blood Cross changed direction and came crashing down towards Lin Jie!

  Wow!

  The host's pupils dilated, he couldn't believe it! War Emperor lost? How is that possible?!

  "Announcing the result, the biological warehouse belongs to me." The mouth under Baoli Changcheng's mask hooked up a smile, walked to Lin Jie's corpse, squatted down to pick up the broken blade, and laughed, "Twelve inheritances, all gathered."

  Lin Jie's lips trembled, "Please, give me the biological warehouse. My mother and sister need it to survive... I can give you everything I have."

  The hundred-mile-long city crouched down and patted Lin Jie's head, laughing and saying, "Your mom and sister? It was me who arranged for them to be hit."

  "No one is more stingy with their life than the rich, and a biological warehouse is an elixir of immortality. How could they possibly give it to you?" He patted Lin Jie's face, "You're not recognizing your place. Poor people should just stay at the bottom, why bother climbing up? You'll only end up falling and hurting yourself. Ah, what a pity."

  Lin Jie's pupils shrank to a point, while Baili Changcheng smiled and accepted the cheers and prizes. The War Emperor, who was lying on the ground, however, was ignored by everyone... He could only imprint the back of this man in his mind, forever etched in his mind!

  When the game was over and everything was settled, the host and angry fans rushed towards Lin Jie, only to find that this person - the strongest lone ranger, who had single-handedly killed his way into the finals and obtained the title of War Emperor, had dilated pupils and lost focus.

  "This issue's headline, Zhan Huang died of myocardial infarction after losing the battle! According to insiders, Zhan Huang's real name is Lin Jie, and he was online continuously for 3 months for this divine battle..."

  "According to expert reports, being overly eager for quick success is a disease, and Zhan Huang is an example."

  …………

  Society is like this, when you're glorious, countless people will flatter you, but when you fall, there are even more people who will kick you while you're down.

  ————————

  "I... won't give up."

  Lin Jie muttered to himself, and clear words came into his ears. He couldn't help but touch his ear. Ha, will there be echoes after a person dies?

  Not really... I have a feeling.

  He suddenly sat up, staring blankly around him, the discomfort in his nostrils making him feel miserable, his limbs feeling hot and weak... Was he catching a cold?

  "Brother, I'm back!" The door was gently pushed open and sister Lin Xiaoxue slipped in, carrying a bag of fruit. "I brought you some fruit, but you have to take your medicine first."

  Mom also followed in the back, gently patted Xiaoxue's head, stuffed a game helmet package box into Lin Jie's bedhead, covered it with a quilt, and muttered to herself, "You hide this thing well, Mom has thought about it, you're right, all roads lead to Rome, who says playing games can't be done openly? But don't let your dad see it, in the future just pretend to go out to work, then go to Xiao Liang's place to play games... no, go to work."

  Lin Jie's memories gradually cleared up: that year, after graduating from high school, Lin Jie felt that he would not pass the college entrance examination, and when "Ji Yuan", known as the second world, was opened, he wanted to become a professional player.

  This matter, of course, was strongly opposed by Dad. After being beaten in the debate, Lin Jie ran away from home very rebelliously and spent a rainy night outside, getting a high fever.

  And his mother took out some emergency money and bought Lin Jie a helmet, letting him hide at his best friend Zheng Ziliang's house to "work".

  The family relationship had reached a boiling point until unexpectedly receiving the admission notice, and his father's stern face finally relaxed after being frozen for a month.

  "Mom, Xiaoxue." Lin Jie hugged both of them tightly and sobbed.

  "Come on, it's just a helmet. Don't cry over such a small thing." He thought his son was being sentimental.

  "Ah, brother, your snot!" Xiaoxue said helplessly, being leaned on by Lin Jie.

  "Heh heh, sorry about that." Lin Jie wiped his nose and looked around, "Where's Dad?"

  Xiao Xue wiped the stain on her clothes with a look of disgust, then handed Lin Jie a tissue and shook her head. "You're still angry, he can't be blamed for being angry when you ran away from home."

  "Go." Lin Jie jumped out of bed and walked outside under the surprised gaze of his mother and sister, "I'm going to apologize."
