When would one use this opening? When a story draws to its close, there always seems to be someone who begins to reminisce about the very beginning.”

The Tuberculosis Rabbit gazed into the void before him, his expression one of playful melancholy as he murmured.

It was almost over.

He had so much he wanted to say, but it never seemed like the right time to speak.

After all, battle was imminent.

Their group had already left Blue Star and had just arrived at Awesome Starfield. They had not greeted Li Yi, since they did not plan to stay long in Awesome Starfield; it was merely a stopover.

Their destination was “Five Chieftains Starfield,” which had a planet called “Five Chieftains Planet,” inhabited by the Kui Race, a Ninefold planet.

It was also the target of their planned extermination.

Convincing the nine Ninefold planets to advance to Tenfold planets seemed too wasteful of breath, and those people were unlikely to listen to him anyway.

If they could be easily persuaded, they would have done so already, not dawdling and dragging their feet without any reaction until now.

The simplest solution was to exterminate one race, and the remaining eight Ninefold planets would naturally make the right decision.

It was like managing 100 people with 10 bullets might be challenging, but managing 90 people with 9 bullets was significantly easier.

It was the same principle.

Chen Yi calmly looked at the portal in front of him. Beyond the portal was a rotating expanse of nothingness that seemed to suck in one’s gaze. Staring too long could even cause dizziness.

This was their first trip to a Ninefold planet and their first dealing with players from a Ninefold planet.

For players of Ninefold planets to travel to Starfields primarily composed of Threefold planets was difficult – at least most players from Ninefold planets found it challenging. This was to prevent these players from exterminating races on a whim and completely disrupting the balance of the game.

But there was no restriction on lower-level players travelling to higher-level Starfields; they could go if they wished.

In reality, no restriction was needed since few dared to do so.

And on his chat interface, there was a message from Santa Claus.

“According to our guess, the Kui Race on the Ninefold planet might be a snare left by the deities before the advancement game began.”

“This is not confirmed, just a speculation. If you intend to exterminate a race as a show of force, prioritize this one.”

“Though it’s speculation, even if it’s a mistake, it doesn’t matter. Among the Ninefold planets, only this race’s players are continually spreading the notion that advancing to Tenfold planets means certain death, always propagating negative comments. Even if they aren’t the deities’ snare, it’s not a mistake to eliminate them.”

“However, before that, I suggest you visit the Ultimate maps. Only with the Godslaying Suit will you have the real strength to confront the entire Ninefold planet. Otherwise, it’s unrealistic to oppose an entire Ninefold planet with your current strength.”

“On Ninefold planets, items of XL and L grades are plentiful, and any such item can change the outcome of a battlefield.”

…

Chen Yi found Santa Claus’s advice quite sound, so he silently looked at the portal before him without a word, instead turning his gaze to the Nine Chapters Map Pass in his hand.

He had them all, from Ultimate One Map to Ultimate Nine Map.

Complete.

They were not difficult to obtain. Although he hadn’t found them for sale on the Star Map, a single inquiry to Li Yi had him sending all nine map passes eagerly, with a worried look and numerous cautions.

The Ultimate series of maps were indeed the pinnacle of the advancement game. Successful completion was rumored to yield countless high-value rewards, yet over the years, no one had come out of the Ultimate series maps alive.

Not a single one.

This caused the Ultimate map passes, though exceedingly rare, to be virtually worthless. With only a slight overbid, he had acquired all nine passes from some collectors.

About this,
Chen Yi showed no particular reaction and didn’t engage in further discussion. After all, how could one explain such a thing with mere words? Could he say that his good brother had already set him up as the only predetermined player, and that he could clear the game simply by entering?

“Wait for me for a bit,” he said.

After pausing for a long moment, Chen Yi closed the Starfield Shuttle portal and turned to look at Jiaye Cai Rabbit and the others beside him. “I’m going to check out this Ultimate map.”

“Okay,” the Tuberculosis Rabbit said earnestly in a raspy voice, “Yi, be careful and take precautions.”

“Careful of what?”

Sword Without End looked at Tuberculosis Rabbit with a puzzled expression, “Didn’t you arrange the predetermined player thing? Didn’t we agree that there was no danger? You set it up, don’t you know? Why tell Yi to be careful? Your logic is flawed. If this was Werewolf Kill, you’d have exposed yourself, and everyone could vote you out, you know!”

“…”

Irritated yet speechless, Tuberculosis Rabbit rolled his eyes at Sword Without End, “You sure do talk a lot.”

“Hey, you’re calling me a chatterbox? Tuberculosis Rabbit, have you forgotten that even your dreams are filled with your incessant mumblings?”

“I arranged the predetermined player, but my memory isn’t complete. I’ve forgotten a lot of the details, so I can’t say for sure what unexpected things might happen. It’s best to be cautious,” Rabbit vaguely remembered adding something else at the time, but he really couldn’t recall what it was.
