That might be slightly exaggerated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the real world, deep underground in a nuclear-proof bunker, members of the Elder Council were still gathered in small groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During every game session, they would gather here to observe the gameplay of top players and study the content of modern games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, most of the time, they watched Lu Ce - that strongest player known as \"Sin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the dialogue and battle of wits between Lu Ce and [Life], even they couldn't help but marvel. As former veteran players themselves, they knew all too well how troublesome it was to confront something as mystical as a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The voice speaking with him couldn't be Life's true form, but it doesn't seem like an apostle either. Perhaps it's a fragment of a soul, or maybe the blood vessel gained sentience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But his face-changing act was truly fascinating. I wonder what would happen if he kept changing indefinitely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Presumably, the blood vessel wanted to avoid this unpredictable situation and decided to self-destruct to kill him. Still, this is quite impressive, truly remarkable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several voices with varying emotions praised the feat, though their tones remained relatively calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A single blood vessel, impressive! Back then, you forced that guy to give up something, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hoarse, rugged voice spoke up, looking toward a vigorous figure at the center of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their earlier conversations, this person was the so-called \"Grand Elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the Grand Elder remained completely unresponsive, as if in deep meditation, staring at the long-darkened video screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed the faint glimmer of tears beneath his voluminous robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, what's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several nearby elders noticed his unusual emotional state and turned back with concern to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you all think of that Know-it-All fellow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Him?\" The others looked puzzled, unsure why the Grand Elder would bring this up. \"From what the warden said at the end, he was also a former player, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not sure, don't remember him. He seems capable enough, but back then there were many unaffiliated solo players. Could've been a top player once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders chatted intermittently, their attention seemingly focused entirely on Sin, barely noticing this guy who'd been fooled from start to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Grand Elder's eyes trembled incessantly beneath his robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had forgotten...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, everyone had forgotten...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That young man... the one called 'Sin'...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did us a favor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, the Grand Elder spoke with absolute conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those around him were stunned - what kind of sudden revelation was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless of what becomes of him, if the opportunity arises, we must lend him our aid when needed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group fell silent, but inwardly, their minds were roiling with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew full well the weight of such words coming from the Grand Elder's mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't understand what had happened, but with strange unanimity, not a single voice rose in opposition or even questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the earth-shattering declarations weren't over. The Grand Elder continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, in the next game session, those with lighter contamination levels may participate in the game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Us?... But we can't...\" Someone finally spoke up, unable to believe what they were hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but now we can try.\" The Grand Elder nodded. \"I can't guarantee my intuition is correct, but we must try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Try at the risk of their lives!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After every game session concluded, the most discussed topic across global online platforms was invariably the updated player rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The celebrity effect persisted - though top players seemed distant from ordinary lives, each had already amassed their own followings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people didn't truly understand the games or how such varied challenges were cleared, but they could comprehend rankings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every ranking update became a spectator's carnival, though the players themselves often cared little about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Sun for example - even when his ranking teetered at the edge of the top ten, he still considered himself number one in the world and paid it no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sin's still first place! He's just too stable, completely invincible - his skill level is in a tier of its own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every game he enters ends with perfect clearance - never broken the streak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually there are a few others worldwide with unbroken perfect clearance streaks, but he's still number one. Plus he's got perfect challenge mode clears too - absolutely insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's take a moment to mourn for Player Park Bu Seong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On major Chinese forums, discussion about Lu Ce was even more concentrated due to network effects. Even when Lu Ce went out to eat, he could hear people nearby discussing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all sorts of rumors and baseless claims flew about - many now speculated that \"Sin\" might not even be human, but some internal game entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the game ends, the most talked-about topic on all the major online platforms around the world is pretty much the player rankings\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this person's appearance was simply too bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had ever noticed them before - some had even confirmed this person never appeared in the top 10,000 rankings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially a complete \"amateur\" player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this time, they appeared out of nowhere, landing directly at third place on the pinnacle rankings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>World's number three!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden ranking pushed down veterans who had been playing since the beginning with perfect clearances!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No.3: Creator!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ability Description: Creator!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Relevant Information: Creator!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An utterly unreasonable description that left everyone completely baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image representing them was also completely blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their number of clears and perfect clears was a pathetically small digit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- 1!\u003C\u002Fp>",937,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","81fbcda8d138ad8e90fb2df9d28b2c46013a2da103d27034f81afbbcd48ce9da","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-274","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-272",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
