Chapter 717: Old Era Utopia! Eternal Immersion!

…

Jiushi Dai 34hao Dalu.

A flash of Radiance streaked by, Jiang Chengyu staggered to the ground, his broken leg propping his body, and a sudden wave of intense pain surged.

He let out a muffled hum, his grimacing face bearing the pain, and he raised his head with difficulty.

The surrounding area was packed with people, dense as an audience at a concert.

Their expressions varied; some were disdainful, others curious.

Most of them were there just to watch the spectacle.

Jiang Chengyu scanned the crowd, and his gaze finally settled on the young man before him.

"Is that you?!"

"We haven't met for days, Brother Jiang, and you've fallen to such a wretched state—truly lamentable," the man said as he helped him up, his face bearing a warm smile.

A single glance made one feel as if bathed in spring breeze, and an instant sense of affinity rose in the heart.

"Yue Zhao, you brought me to this place?" Jiang Chengyu looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and a few waves of panic rose in his heart.

Where did this come from?

This place…

It's not an Island!

"Don't be nervous; I saw you trapped, couldn't help but pull you out, and I didn't inform you beforehand, so I hope you can forgive me," Yue Zhao cast an apologetic glance.

"This is… Old Era?" Jiang Chengyu immediately realized, his heart startled.

"Old Era is merely a name given by ignorant people; in terms you can understand— we are the vanguard," Yue Zhao said.

"How did you do it? If I were to leave…" Jiang Chengyu said with a grimace.

"Just a minor trick," Yue Zhao produced a Primary All-Round Recovery Injection and thrust it sharply into his body.

As the azure liquid entered, Jiang Chengyu's battered body revived with vigor.

Yue Zhao whispered, "I know what you're worried about; I'll handle your Life-Death Contract, so you needn't fear them taking lethal action against you."

Accompanied by a familiar soothing sensation, Jiang Chengyu's injuries fully healed.

He moved his limbs a bit, looked at the bustling crowd around, and asked, "Who are they?"

Yue Zhao's scarlet eyes carried a hint of smile, "They are all my Dependents, and will be your brothers and sisters in the future."

"Welcome to my world."

"And welcome you to join… Utopia!"

"Utopia?" Jiang Chengyu was startled.

Yue Zhao led him through the crowd, explaining, "Here everyone is equal, there is no such thing as class, nor any coercion or unreasonable orders."

"People love each other, help one another; everyone has the right to evolve, and the right to pursue their dreams."

"As long as you desire, boldly and confidently pursue it; time will give you the answer."

Behind the crowd, building after building suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Seeing these scenes, which only appeared in dreams, materialize into reality, Jiang Chengyu's gaze became somewhat dazed.

"Do you see? From now on this will be your home; no one will dare humiliate you again," Yue Zhao whispered into his ear, his voice like a demonic chant.

"These skyscrapers… how did you do this?" Jiang Chengyu was profoundly shocked.

"Pa‑pa!"

Yue Zhao clapped his hands, and a robust man immediately stepped out from the crowd.

He stood before Jiang Chengyu, and his foot struck the ground forcefully.

"Boom!"

The earth and stone rose up, instantly extending fifty meters high.

Then another person emerged, wielding a Drawing Brush to sketch in midair, and the earth and stone instantly transformed into glass and concrete.

Finally a woman's palm shifted, perfecting the building's exterior wall.

A grand, majestic skyscraper formed immediately, taking only a few minutes.

Such ingeniously crafted handiwork left Jiang Chengyu in awe.

"From now on, it will be yours," Yue Zhao smiled faintly.

"Give it to me?" Jiang Chengyu looked incredulous.

"Of course, I never hesitate to reward a partner with an unyielding will," Yue Zhao nodded.

Jiang Chengyu was deeply moved, and immediately ran to the building, gazing at the familiar design, his eyes dazed.

At some point in the past, he had worked in such an office building.

He had thought he would never see it again in this lifetime.

Never did he expect to finally fulfill his dream.

Moreover, the entire building was his!

It's like…

a dream!

"Welcome, Mr. Jiang!"

Suddenly, both sides of the doorway were suddenly filled with beautiful women greeting him.

Each of them was tall, voluptuous, with brows exuding an irresistibly seductive aura.

"They…" Jiang Chengyu's heart pounded.

"They are also yours," Yue Zhao said with a smile.

"What?!" Jiang Chengyu seemed as if hit by a cannonball, instinctively licking his parched lips.

I know you've endured many humiliations, and those comrades who once fought side by side actually did this to you.

Treating you like a dog, feeding you swine food—do you still have any sentiment for such friends?

Here, such things will never happen.

And you needn't worry about dying in the Death Game; I have a way to give you Resurrection.

Indulge yourself; in Utopia you only need to be yourself, nothing else matters, Yue Zhao said.

Jiang Chengyu was not fooled by the Sugar-coated Shell, but replied cautiously, "Then what must I do?"

"You don't need to do anything at all; I dislike playing mind games with partners, and I dislike scheming."

"In my view, these are things only hypocrites would do."

"You only need to live the life you want, without fearing death, and without worrying about crises."

"I only wish to build a perfect world, completely abolish the Death Game, so that everyone can live eternally without worries!" Yue Zhao spread his arms wide.

"Immortality?" Jiang Chengyu's eyes flickered.

"Go, they're waiting for you." Yue Zhao gave a gentle push.

Jiang Chengyu slowly stepped forward, and the enthusiastic hosts on either side embraced him warmly, affectionately patting his body, and led him into the tall building.

Soon, a strange sound rose from within, accompanied by laughter, and Xu Yuan's voice emerged.

Yue Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, a smile appearing on his face.

At that moment, a man wearing glasses came carrying a booklet.

"Zhao Ge, everything's taken care of."

"What's their attitude?"

"They fully support it, but with one condition—after it's done they want half."

"What a lion's big demand." Yue Zhao, nonchalantly, took the booklet in hand and flipped through it.

"I think there's no need to agree with them; dealing with New Era people, we alone are fully sufficient," Glasses Man suggested.

"Indeed we can, but we need time; time waits for no one…" Yue Zhao said.

"Zhao Ge, you mean…"

"The Golden Throne is about to emerge."

"Understood!"

Yue Zhao closed the booklet, handed it back, and said, "Tell them, I'm taking this deal!"

"Then Jiang Chengyu…"

"He likes wealth and women; now that wealth is secured, arrange more women for him," Yue Zhao instructed.

"Yes!"

Yue Zhao, hearing the eerie sound swirling around his ears, said with a strange smile:

"I will let him drown in Desire…"

"…forever immersed!"
