"What’s he doing? Did his internet go down?" Gu Nan muttered words that only he could understand.
Zuo Zuo actually disappeared entirely. It was clear that Star Realm was more important to him than this dungeon. To think that he even said something like “Take me with you in all future dungeons you’re clearing”—those words were clearly meant to stall for time.
Zuo Zuo didn’t actually care about this at all.
"Perhaps he encountered some temporary trouble. Let's start," Zi Yi didn’t seem to feel anything about this and said quietly.
Of course Gu Nan didn’t have any objections either. In fact, with their raw power, they were entirely overqualified for this dungeon. If not for the power restrictions, they could’ve crushed this dungeon directly.
The bloody countdown appeared in the air again. Reopening the personal dungeon meant that they had to start all over again.
Fortunately, they were extremely familiar with the strategy after having experienced it before. The parkour map in the First Phase was once again cleared by Gu Nan stealing a helicopter.
"Hahahaha! This Lord has hidden here for 20 years…"
The familiar laughter came again, but Zi Yi suddenly said, "I’ll handle this."
As she spoke, she had already jumped up abruptly, and the entire sky was instantly covered with purple stars, which then fell piece by piece towards the crimson guard.
Her murderous appearance startled Gu Nan and Qiu Wenran, who hurriedly hid to one side to watch the play.
In terms of a direct battle, of course the crimson guard couldn’t compare to a distinguished Star Ruler. A few seconds later, he had been smashed by the stars all over the sky until he was bleeding all over.
When the crimson guard had exhausted almost all his power and wanted to split into forty smaller guards, Zi Yi suddenly raised her hand.
All over the sky, the stars simultaneously lit up with a purple light and fell down, directly smashing the crimson guard into pieces and changing the blood-red words in the sky.

｢Victory condition for the Second Phase has been met.
Third Phase: Survive for three minutes.
Victory Condition: All three players must survive
Power Restriction: Tier 3 ｣

The entire battle didn't take more than a minute, but it was because Zi Yi found a suitable method. She relied on her heaven-opposing skill and forcibly terminated the crimson guard’s skill before he could split into 40 smaller guards!
‘This execution threshold is probably at a fucking 20% HP…’ Ten thousand curses were running through Gu Nan’s heart.
Killing the boss directly before his HP could drop to a certain level naturally meant they could avoid the boss’s subsequent skills. This was an extremely simple solution.
‘But you have to possess such a godly execute type skill in the first place!’
The execution threshold of Gu Nan's Righteous Judgment was nowhere near as high. Zi Yi was able to achieve the same result as an execute type skill purely by brute-forcing her way through the battle with her own laws, which were powerful to the point of heaven-defying.
‘After all, she’s a Star Ruler Realm NPC. None of them are fools.’ Gu Nan secretly shook his head. ‘They didn’t have time to process everything at the start, so they were stumped at first. But if they have a little time to think about it, they can easily think of a solution.’
Qiu Wenran, however, had already rushed up with excitement. "As expected of Senior Zi Yi. In three days, you’ve already mastered the law of the stars and integrated it into your own laws."
"This is nothing," Zi Yi replied emotionlessly.
This lady, who was prideful down to her bones, obviously couldn’t stand the fact that everyone was forced to end the mission early last time because of her. So this time, she cleared the Second Phase by herself.
……
At White Mist’s headquarters, Chu Kang excitedly walked out of the endless void. He had just completed a reincarnation mission, and it was easier than expected.
"That Lord, who on earth is he… No, it doesn’t matter who he is. If only he can give another lecture!"
Chu Kang remembered the scene from last time, and his heart couldn't help feeling full of anticipation. If there was a second chance, he would definitely give that Lord all the missions he could find!
"Guan Sheng, are you home?" Chu Kang knocked on Guan Sheng’s door right next to his, but no one responded. "How strange… Has he already gone to submit the mission completion report?"
Reincarnation missions wouldn’t take much time. Smaller world missions in particular would hardly take up any time here in Star Realm.
After getting no one response for a long time, Chu Kang suppressed his doubts and turned to leave, but he just happened to bump into someone at the corner.
"Ouch, you… Er, Guan Sheng?" Chu Kang was hit on the head and was about to speak when he saw the other person's face.
Guan Sheng was in a hurry and didn’t even have time to greet Chu Kang. He pushed him away and went straight to his room.
Chu Kang wasn’t bothered by Guan Sheng's rudeness at all. Instead, his eyes lit up and he quickly followed while asking, "Guan Sheng, Guan Sheng! You’re in such a hurry—did that Lord come again?"
He didn't forget the reason Guan Sheng was in a hurry the last time he saw him.
When Chu Kang mentioned that Lord, Guan Sheng's expression changed instantly, then returned to normal. He quickly said, "No… I'm in a hurry. Please get out of the way."
Chu Kang was pushed aside by him again, while Guan Sheng went into his room by himself.
Bang!
The door slammed shut. Chu Kang didn’t get anything out of this, so he could only shrug, but then his expression changed.
Because a sharp energy fluctuation had just come from inside Guan Sheng's room.
"Guan Sheng!" Chu Kang shouted. He violently kicked the door in, but Guan Sheng's figure had already disappeared.
Chu Kang looked intently at the ground, only to see a fine small circular array painted. Chu Kang wasn’t an expert on arrays, but even he could tell that this was clearly a teleportation array.
"The organization already has a teleportation array. Why did he need to set up a private one?"
Chu Kang's heart sank slightly, and he had a feeling that he seemed to have stepped into a maelstrom.
……
In the small room, Red Tail was still slowly reading through reports, with one hand gently on Lin Yunyun's shoulder, stroking her hair.
Lin Yunyun still didn’t seem used to such intimate actions yet. She kept her head down as her eyes passively read the information on the table.
"The Underworld Ocean Dao Hall has reopened. Hall Master Ping Jiushan reappeared in the public’s eye."
"The Underworld Ocean Dao Hall is located in the far north, and the King of the Northern Region, Ye Chen, personally led a punitive expedition…"
"The northern army suffered a devastating defeat, and Ye Chen's whereabouts are unknown. It is reported that he was seriously injured and is possibly dying."
“……”
These reports attracted Lin Yunyun’s attention. Even though she didn’t pay much attention to the situation in the mainland, she still knew how hot the person titled "King of the Northern Region" was today.
However, the King of the Northern Region, who had been undefeated ever since he entered the Dao, actually suffered a crushing defeat this time, and he even seemed to be missing?
As though she noticed what Lin Yunyun was looking at, Red Tail chuckled. "A lucky guy who relies on the power of destiny is nothing if he encounters a true powerhouse…"
Just as she was saying this, a piece of information emerged slowly. Based on the location, it came from within the organization.
Red Tail frowned slightly, getting an ominous feeling in her heart. She hurriedly picked up the report, but a moment later, she suddenly slammed her palm down on the table.
"Guan Sheng!"
Lin Yunyun was startled and hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Red Tail's expression was a little dark. "Some people are just looking for death… Call someone in and send the news to the central mountain range as soon as possible. I hope it's not too late…"
