One minute later.

Translation: "One minute later." (Keep punctuation? Chinese has period。 We'll output English with period.)

The battle ended, and the silver-white earth was stained with a faint blood-red hue.

Translation: "The battle ended, and the silver-white earth was stained with a faint layer of blood."

Seeing Mo Ling's projection behind, like a monster devouring corpses, this troll squad of fewer than ten, everyone tense, anxiously gathered together.

It was as if the figure standing before them was not a competitor from another civilization, but some kind of monster disguised as a human.

Translation: "It was as if what stood before them was not another civilization's contestant, but some kind of monster disguised as a human."

「Th.. thank you for your help, such kindness, I am deeply grateful! May I ask if you know our leader? 」

「I am Gu Yi, the offspring you call Gu Si Man. 」

「I am Gu Yi, the offspring you call Gu Si Man. 」

Thus line 6: "「I am Gu Yi, the offspring you call Gu Si Man. 」"

He gulped, Gu Yi embraced Gu Lan, who had only half his body left, and for a moment didn't know whether to thank the human before him or stay on guard.

But need to keep punctuation: Chinese ends with 。 We'll output period.

Too terrifying!

Translation: "Too terrifying!"

Not only did Mo Ling's power give him a great shock, but the Undying Lord's ability also filled him with fear.

Translation: "Not only did Mo Ling's power give him a great shock, but the ability of the Undying Lord also made him feel terrified."

Undying Lord

Mo Ling alone dealt with two-thirds of the enemies; that power of his belonged to none of the rules he knew, yet its effect was terrifyingly strong.

Translation: "Mo Ling alone dealt with two-thirds of the enemies; that power of his belonged to none of the rules he knew, yet its effect was terrifyingly strong."

Mo Ling alone dealt with two-thirds of the enemies; that power of his belonged to none of the rules he knew, yet its effect was terrifyingly strong.

If it weren't for the enemy saving his life and calling out Gu Si Man's name, he would even have thought of fleeing right then!

Translation: "If it weren't for the other side saving his life and calling out the name Gu Si Man, he would even want to flee right now!"

Ignoring the trolls' wariness, Mo Ling shook her head and simply answered:

Translation: "Without paying attention to the trolls' wariness of her, Mo Ling shook her head and simply answered:"

「I don't know you. 」

Translation: "「I don't know them. 」"

「But my.. uh.. my family Lin An knows your people. Do you know Lin An? Forget it, you immediately use your means to contact the outside and directly have your people bet 300 points to the Creator Alliance. 」

「But my.. uh.. my family Lin An knows your people. Do you know Lin An? Forget it, you immediately use your means to contact the outside and directly have your people bet 300 points to the Creator Alliance. 」

Note: "Creator Alliance" -> "Creator Alliance". Use glossary: Creator → Creator. So "Creator Alliance". Also "300 points" -> "300 points". Keep number.

「After you place the bet, even if you owe me a favor. 」

Translation: "「After placing the bet, then you'll have repaid my favor. 」"

Not wanting to waste any time, after Mo Ling finished speaking, the scarlet light in her eyes glowed like a threat as she coldly stared at everyone.

Translation: "Not wanting to waste any time, after Mo Ling finished speaking, the scarlet light in her eyes seemed like a threat as she coldly stared at everyone."

「Lin An? Creator Alliance? 」

Translation: "「Lin An? Creator Alliance? 」"

Gu Yi blinked blankly, but soon he seemed to recall something, his expression slightly changing.

Translation: "Gu Yi blinked blankly, but soon he seemed to recall something, his expression slightly changing."

He seemed to have heard that name somewhere, as if...

Translation: "He seemed to have heard that name somewhere, as if..."

Not daring to think too much or waste time, Gu Yi earnestly looked at Mo Ling and gave a bitter laugh:

Translation: "Not having time to think further and not daring to delay, Gu Yi earnestly looked at Mo Ling and gave a bitter laugh:"

「Miss Mo Ling, logically you saved us, we should repay you. But three hundred points is too much.. to be honest, I'm not sure if our people would agree. 」

「Miss Mo Ling, logically you saved us, we should repay you. But three hundred points is too much.. to be honest, I'm not sure if our people would agree. 」

「But don't worry, I'll send back the message right away! 」

Translation: "「But don't worry, I'll send the message back right away! 」"

Three minutes later.

Translation: "Three minutes later."

Starlight Virtual Space.

Translation: "Starlight Virtual Space."

「Gu Si Man! Other leaders have agreed to your request! But the Elder Council said they can only take out another 150 points at most, though adding our own... 」

「Gu Si Man! Other leaders have agreed to your request! But the Elder Council said they can only take out another 150 points at most, though adding our own... 」

「Gu Si Man? 」

Translation: "「Gu Si Man? 」"

At the edge of the space, a Fifth Stage troll that had been pushed to its limit looked doubtfully at Gu Si Man.

At the edge of the space, a Fifth Stage troll that had been pushed to its limit looked doubtfully at Gu Si Man.

In his eyes, Gu Si Man's expression kept changing, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.

Translation: "In his eyes, Gu Si Man's expression changed again and again, as if he had encountered something unbelievable."

Without waiting for him to ask urgently, the next second Gu Si Man took a deep breath, his expression extremely complex as he quickly scanned the ranking information.

Translation: "Without waiting for him to ask urgently, the next second Gu Si Man took a deep breath, his expression extremely complex as he quickly scanned the ranking information."

Lin... An!?

Translation: "「Lin.. An!? 」"

Did Lin An save my people in the Starlight War?

Translation: "「Lin An saved my people in the Starlight War? 」"

It's hard to imagine, but just three minutes and six seconds ago, the troll squad inside the battlefield suddenly sent back a message. He had thought the Guyi couldn't hold on and had braced himself. Who would have guessed that their message would actually be related to that name?

But unexpectedly, the message they sent was actually related to that name.

Because of the difficulty in transmitting information, he could only decipher these four keywords: Lin An, Creator, betting, and 300.

Translation: "Due to the difficulty of information transmission, he could only parse out these four keywords: Lin An, Creator, bet, 300."

Having no idea what had happened inside, he at first almost thought he had misdeciphered it!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately thought to check the rankings; otherwise, he probably still wouldn't understand what the message meant!

Translation: "But fortunately he reacted quickly, immediately thinking to check the rankings; otherwise, he might still not understand the message's meaning even now."

Gusman? The Guyi aren't desperately in need of points right now? What are you daydreaming about?

Translation: "「Gu Si Man? Gu Yi and the others aren't urgently in need of points right now? What are you spacing out for? 」"

Although others aren't keen on adding more, we might be able to gather enough to exchange for an item that removes tracking.

Mistakenly thinking that Gusman was dissatisfied with the other leaders' decision, Gukor earnestly tried to persuade him, attempting to get Gusman to accept all of this.

Before he could say anything else, Gusman suddenly turned his head, looking at him with a conflicted expression.

Translation: "However, before he could say anything more, Gu Si Man suddenly turned his head, looking at him with a conflicted expression."

Gukor, our people should be temporarily safe. But I need 300 points now! I don't know... I don't know what to do!

Translation: "「Gu Ke Er, our people should be temporarily safe. But I need 300 points now! I don't know.. I don't know what to do! 」"

Thanks to his decent thinking ability, Gusman roughly figured out what had happened inside the battlefield.

Translation: "With his decent thinking ability, Gu Si Man roughly figured out what had happened inside the battlefield."

In his view, it's likely that the Guyi, while being chased, accidentally ran into Lin An. Lin An then rescued them and afterwards asked for compensation—though perhaps not exactly compensation. Given his understanding of Lin An, that kid may only be rank four, but he's definitely not someone who cares about such a small amount of points. So he probably wants to exchange for something, but the Creator Alliance behind him refuses to help him!

Indeed, he clearly remembers that Lin An and Qing Jia have a conflict!

Translation: "Exactly, he clearly remembers that Lin An and Qing Kai have a conflict!"

Although he can't understand how Lin An could participate as a member of the Creator Alliance, that kid definitely needs help!

Translation: "Although he finds it hard to understand how Lin An could participate as a member of the Creator Alliance, that kid definitely needs help!"

Logically, I should help that kid! He not only helped me, but also saved the Guyi...! But... 300 points... where am I supposed to get them from!?

We need to keep parentheses and punctuation. Chinese: same as 【104】? Actually 【105】 line includes explanation but we need to output translation. So same.

Gusman let out a bitter laugh, his mind racing.

Translation: "Gu Si Man let out a bitter laugh, his brain racing."

Although after the last Skull Ghost ended, Lin An gave him 500 points—far more than what he needs this time! But like Qing Jia, as a powerful troll, all the resources he acquires aren't his own! He only has a pitiful fifty points.

After quickly explaining to his nearby companion, Gukor listened, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but voice his opinion.

Translation: "After quickly explaining to his companion, Gu Ke Er heard it, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but voice his opinion."

Gusman, I can understand wanting to repay the favor. But the council of elders is unlikely to agree to give us more points. You know, our situation is also difficult; just being able to recover our investment this time is already a stroke of luck.

Investing more points, especially for an outsider, do you think you can convince the council of elders?

Translation: "「Investing more points, and even being an outsider, do you think you can convince the Elder Council? 」"

Moreover..

"Moreover.."

Translation: "Having never dealt with Lin An, although according to Gu Si Man that kid named Lin An is special, making Gu Si Man have to treat him seriously, but Gu Ke Er still doesn't think there's anything."

Moreover, think it through: giving these points to the Guyi gives them hope! Giving them to your so-called Lin An, what will happen to the Guyi?!

He's actually your descendant!

Translation: "「He is your descendant after all! 」"

Even if we step back ten thousand steps, this guy named Lin An—his alliance behind him doesn't want to help him, which shows they don't think highly of him either. Cut your losses; if he manages to come out alive, you can just thank him after the competition ends!

Listening to his companion's dissuasion, Gusman remained silent.

Translation: "Listening to his companion's dissuasion, Gu Si Man remained silent."

He certainly knows Gukor is right. From a rational standpoint, not to mention whether he can even get those 300 points—even if he did, what good would helping Lin An do? He can imagine Lin An's strength is decent, but that's just decent.

Translation: "He certainly knew Gu Ke Er was right; rationally speaking, not to mention whether he could obtain 300 points, even if he did, what use would helping Lin An be? He could imagine Lin An's ability should be decent, but that's just decent."

If he were truly strong, his ranking would have risen long ago. Now helping him might be futile—like trying to carry water in a basket—and whether Lin An can survive and come out is still a question!

Translation: "If he were truly strong, his ranking would have risen long ago. Now helping him might be a futile effort—whether Lin An can survive and come out is itself a question!"

But for some reason, Gusman feels torn inside, unable to stop recalling Lin An's performance in the Skull Ghost mission and remembering his own solemn promise.

A few seconds later, only saw Gu Siman take a deep breath, grit his teeth, and let out a low roar toward Gu Keer:

Gu Ke'er, I don't have time to explain anything! I also don't know why; maybe I owe him a life! I feel I should help him!

You're just staring at the rankings here! I'm going to find the Grand Elder right now!

As the words fell, without waiting for Gu Ke'er to gape open-mouthed in shock, the next second Gu Siman instantly went offline, disappearing from the virtual space.

Starlight Battlefield third layer.

In a united team of three hundred Fifth Stage, a massive Thunder Lizard whose entire body nearly reaches Star-Destroying Level stared fixedly at the crystal in its hand.

Creator Alliance? Giant Demon? Good...! Dare to kill my people!

Contact the Heaven Walkers for me! I've found the person they're looking for!
