Chapter 517: Surviving Players Return! Rankings Revealed!

"Grandpa, don't come looking for me; I'm not done living yet."

I thought it was my own grandpa acting as the soul‑snatching horse‑face to come fetch him.

But the next moment, in the blink of an eye, I found the sofa empty.

Lin Yang let out a long sigh; he realized that if this kept up, death was not far off.

To ensure a good mental state, he planned to keep himself busy in his spare time, finding something to do.

At first he recalled Su Yang's daily routine in the cell and imitated him by doing push‑ups and sit‑ups.

But after only a few days he grew lax.

It's not interesting at all!

Even more boring than just sitting around staring blankly!

So he ordered a few books from the Shopping Mall.

Fortunately this was the final Death Game, and buying daily necessities cost no points.

Otherwise, just eating during the wait would cause him to lose points badly.

Afterwards he read the books for a few days, and at first thought this way of cultivating one's mind was really nice.

The content of the books was also quite interesting, making him giggle with joy.

But after a few days he felt an extreme mental emptiness and couldn't absorb a single character.

He couldn't help but sigh, "I guess I'm sick."

The turning point occurred a week ago.

While he was cooking normally, he saw a dead fish on the cutting board and suddenly felt sorrow for it.

His eyes unexpectedly shed two lines of hot tears, and he couldn't stop himself from crying.

Then, from the corner of his eye he caught sight of a kitchen knife and, uncontrollably, grabbed it, wanting to cut off his own hand.

Fortunately, at the last moment he came to his senses, otherwise he would have become disabled.

After that, Lin Yang stayed away from the kitchen and began an aimless, muddled life.

Better to live miserably than to die well; that's his only creed for now!

"Damned Su Yang, why did you leave me."

"Had I known it would be like this, even if you prattle, I still couldn't have left."

"You bastard set a trap for me on purpose, making me leave on my own, and the next time I see you I'll have to smash your butt to pieces!"

Lin Yang thought viciously, then suddenly exerted force with his hand and snapped the Drawing Brush in two.

Crack!

Staring at the broken brush, his anger boiling, he tossed it aside, "Even you have to oppose me, huh?"

"Stinky brush, I'll paint your light, I'll write you dead."

Just as he vented, a broadcast suddenly sounded beside his ear.

【The eighth game has ended, congratulations to the survivors】

【Rewards have been distributed, please check your individual cages】

【Remaining players:】

At that moment, infinite hope burst in Lin Yang's eyes, and he laughed heartily.

"Heaven leaves no dead‑end for man; I, Lin Yang, have finally turned my fate!"

He, who had been somewhat startled by the broadcast, now wore a face of rapture, as if hearing celestial music that illuminated his ears.

He had never liked that sound as much as now, as if he had fallen in love with a woman he shouldn't love.

In the prison on the other side.

Su Yang was doing a plank with his upper body bare, sweat already soaking the yoga mat beneath him.

The moment he heard the broadcast, he sprang up, light flashing in his eyes.

"Finally arrived."

After waiting two and a half months, all cleared players returned en masse.

What surprised him was that globally more than half of the players had died!

From an initial hundred billion down to the current twenty million!

"If this keeps up, after just a few Death Games everyone will be dead," Su Yang thought to himself.

Yin Yun, who was sitting on the sofa reading, instantly closed the book, eagerly grabbed the remote and turned on the Screen.

"We are First, we have held the First throne!" Yin Yun was ecstatic, rushed over and hugged Su Yang, jumping joyfully.

Feeling the tremor in his chest, Su Yang, with no romantic intent, fixed his gaze on Lin Yang's rankings.

"From rank 170 onward, all are solo players; there aren't many options for him," Su Yang said.

Yin Yun saw Su Yang's face show no excitement, her expression turned puzzled; she was about to ask, but realized her action was a bit reckless, and, blushing slightly, let go of him.

Then, as if nothing, she said, "Why do you look so unhappy? We're First!"

"We have both the Wish Qualification and Ascend God, and after 48 hours we can leave this damned place!"

Su Yang stroked his chin, pondering, "Divine Ascension... 'plan'?"

Why is it a plan rather than a settled fact?

If it's merely a plan, then there must be promotion conditions later.

After 48 hours they can indeed leave here, but anyone with eyes knows the destination is just another prison.

Perhaps the environment will be better, yet they cannot avoid the Clash.

That means the Death Game will continue.

And the cruelty level will rise again.

Thinking this, Su Yang furrowed his brows; the joy in his heart was diluted by tension and pressure.

"Remaining players approach 22,000,000; assuming an average of Five Hundred per prison, the top ten have Divine Ascension Qualification, that is 20 people."

"... 880,000 people can join the plan."

"88,000 people have Wish Qualification!"

That's not a small number.

Looking across the prisons, they may be as rare as phoenix feathers.

But overall, there are many players comparable to them.

Su Yang is the top person in this prison, but that may not hold in another prison.

The outstanding will survive and become ever more outstanding.

Then…

This Wish plan will be crucial!

"What's wrong with you?" Yin Yun, seeing him still dazed, waved her hand in front of him.

Su Yang snapped back, solemnly saying, "Don't get too excited yet; we must decide within 48 hours how to use the Wish Qualification."

"Also... you must make a decision."

"Whether to resurrect Huang Hua or not!"
