Judging by this pace, your next game session might be filled entirely with veteran players.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, you don't know how strong the strongest among them are. Confident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether I am or not won't affect me.\" Lu Ce said indifferently, continuously tossing that metal ball in his hand, his expression slightly grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just thinking... does this game really think too highly of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by the power they've displayed, at best I'm just a slightly larger ant right now.

Since the game's rules ended, they had uniformly maintained this posture, watching the Grand Elder in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder stood like withered wood, having been lost in thought earlier, contemplating who knows what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming back to his senses and seeing his colleagues' gazes, he chuckled and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are your thoughts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the many elders, one with a slightly sinister voice spoke up. The others maintained their silence, collectively watching the Grand Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they usually didn't pay much attention, during these most critical moments, they were quite unified, with the Grand Elder as their primary core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This action by the game definitely has some conspiracy, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Grand Elder remain silent, the voice continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Death—nobody fears it. Entering this game is already gambling with our lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the most obvious issue is that the game could completely use us as their executioner's blade, matching us with whoever the game wants to target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, 'Sin'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell Mode, increased mortality rates, full-powered strength, plus an opportunity to return to the game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One could say... it's completely using us as pawns to eliminate others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's worth knowing that these elders were beings who had lived for who knows how long, having once contended wits and courage with the game directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any problems Lu Ce could think of, they naturally could too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never regarded CHOSEN'S PARADISE! as paradise. For any changes, what they thought of were conspiracy and bloodshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Is that so?\" The always serious Grand Elder laughed now, looking at everyone. \"What, does anyone here feel confident enough to deal with 'Sin' right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Already worried about crushing the younger generation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We truly aren't confident, but you might be!\" The elders' eyes burned intensely. \"Moreover, in this world, there might be others who can too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what?\" The Grand Elder smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't a conspiracy—it's an overt scheme. The world is vast. Even knowing there are problems, can we really not participate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, they—all can only enter this game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Grand Elder spoke, he found his chair and slowly sat down, letting out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other elders looked somewhat displeased. Indeed, this was the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much they thought about it, this was the reality. They couldn't truly abandon this opportunity. Not participating meant forever remaining outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, I just want to say, if we encounter extreme situations in the game, facing our own Chinese players, especially those with potential...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we... try to go easy on them when possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a problem for you to consider.\" The Grand Elder sat in his chair, gently stroking the armrests. \"I'm not participating in this game session.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder's words sounded almost earth-shattering, stunning everyone in the Elder Council simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're not participating?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder shook his head, offering no explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting his head, those usually turbid eyes now appeared sparkling and brilliant, as if he had rejuvenated considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world doesn't have only our Dragon Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When undercurrents begin to surge, all schemes become fragile and easily shattered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The game is the game. Just because the game's rules are set, does that mean things will definitely develop in their intended direction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he looked around at the members of the Dragon Group Elder Council before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, why do you so naturally hand the world's future over to 'Sin' and those like him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you all still considered young people? The rise and fall of the nation is everyone's responsibility. Just go and do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what's in your hearts, what personal plans you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you're waiting for my orders, then fine...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Group, Elder Council—all members participate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Grand Elder's voice fell, no one raised any further objections. Everyone straightened their postures slightly in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Grand Elder's voice, undercurrents surged throughout the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an abnormal resurgence, those dormant forces buried by time—seemingly having aged the entire world—began a series of tightly coordinated actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment after the game updated, it was as if the world had become young again!\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.234Z",1,"novelbin.me","1de712175c502613139a1e6b98544072efbbaa7474f05829f5da17e4509c27a7","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-477","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-475",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
