Chapter 725: Dare to Step Out for a One‑on‑One Duel?! A Cross‑Era Matching Mechanism!?

Not a group?

Su Yang's eyes flickered with an odd color.

Except him, the other seven are all Ascend God seeds.

Therefore there is no claim that Dragon is Yao Ri's dependents.

Moreover, just now Yao Ri said she seems accustomed to going solo, having no interest in forming groups.

So there are only two possibilities…

Either—Dragon and Lao Shu have countless intertwined connections.

Or—Dragon also discerns the Easter Egg's secret and wants to loot Innate Talent!

But regardless of the reason, Dragon's proposal appeared after Yao Ri.

It seemed to transmit some signal, thought‑provoking.

"May I take this as a supplementary agreement to Yao Ri's proposal?" Tiger asked.

"I simply want to expand the scope; after all, all Ascend God seeds on my island are dead, and I can't find any Betting Duel players," Dragon said, eyes full of helplessness.

"That's… incredibly coincidental," Su Yang's eyes held a hint of smile.

"Belief or not is your business; even if I'm the First Place to present a proposal, I'd still say this, because it's my sole purpose for coming here!" Dragon said.

"Expanding the Betting Duel selection range and adding Death Replay looks like preparation for revenge," Wood Grain said.

"What's wrong with that? Even with external enemies, could the big guy selectively ignore internal troubles?" Dragon raised his voice a few notches and continued:

"Don't forget, this era has many treacherous traitors who don't care about so‑called reputation and glory."

"If my proposal passes, not only I benefit, you can also select higher‑quality Ascend God seeds for Betting Duel, then loot more Dependents."

"Stop standing on a moral high ground to criticize; you speak of righteousness, yet secretly each is more black‑hearted!"

"Moreover, the betting game is the most important current mechanic; our Evolution Level and team strength all derive from it, don't they?"

"The Old Era Remnant Faction indeed watches from behind, but if we don't accumulate enough power, how can we contend with them in the future?"

Every word rang powerfully, though Dragon's words weren't exactly pleasant to hear.

But the words are coarse while the reasoning is not.

The betting game is indeed each team's primary Faith Value source.

Those teams with the highest Faith Value, which one hasn't toiled over this?

Relying solely on Death Game to gain Faith Value, can one evolve only once in some far‑off time?

A bet built on death is essentially the cruellest looting.

"Discussion Session ends, please member Wood Grain present a proposal."

Wood Grain's eyes brightened, cleared his throat: "My proposal is simple: activate the Leaderboard so all players can view each player's Faith Value amount."

"Just like the previous prison Leaderboard, rankings are crystal clear."

"Proposal complete!"

"Proposal complete!"

"Member Wood Grain's proposal time ends, now entering Free Discussion Session, time limit 30 minutes."

Hearing his proposal, Python sneered, "You just now morally condemned others' proposals as useless, and yours is an even bigger lump."

"And you open the Leaderboard—are you dissatisfied with how quickly you die?"

"Old Era keeps targeting our Top Player; their sinister tricks remain unknown."

"What you do not only puts yourself in danger, it also kills others!"

"I'm beginning to suspect… are you a spy sent by the Old Era Remnant Faction?"

As soon as the words fell, Wood Grain slammed the table, angry: "Nonsense, I'm considering everyone!"

"Your damn consideration is nothing; the current rules give no rewards to high‑ranking players."

"Then tell me, what's the benefit of creating such a Leaderboard?" Python blurted.

"The benefit is naturally to arrange one's Evolution Level based on other players' situations." Wood Grain said.

"Nonsense, I see you're already the shape of the Old Era Remnant Faction; a dog's mouth can't spit ivory!"

"Full of profanity, truly lacking quality."

"My quality is your mother—dare you take off the Mask? Damn it, don't let me be matched with you in the game!"

"You even dare say match with me?"

"I squeeze you like a chick; after all proposals end, dare you take off the Mask and duel one‑on‑one?"

"Crude person, ashamed to be in the same company!"

"Yo ho, you actually speak with some level, planning to take a graduate exam here?"

"…"

Su Yang and the others watched their bickering, helplessly rubbing their foreheads.

I must say Python's attack power is extremely high.

Wood Grain's verbal skill is strong, yet he can't overcome the other's chaotic entanglement.

"Enough, enough, say fewer words; this is a Round Table Meeting, not a market," Flower intervened.

Python wasn't satisfied with the insults, but seeing the silence, he snorted, "My surname is Ye, given name is Fire, don't get caught by me in the game later!"

Wood Grain ignored it, simply staring quietly ahead.

But the flickering anger in his eyes was enough to reveal his mood.

A Round Table Meeting gathering the era's Top Players should be a supreme hall beyond ordinary reach.

Yet he never expected to encounter such chaotic troublemakers.

"Indeed, strong ability doesn't mean high quality," Wood Grain thought.

"I'll speak fairly— the leaderboard really isn't useful; unless high‑ranking players receive rewards, it's completely unnecessary," Dragon said.

"I agree, and judging solely by Faith Value tells us nothing; some teams didn't obtain rare Hidden Achievements, yet none of their members died."

"Moreover, most people can obtain Hidden Achievements— how should that be counted?"

"Some teams even reserve Faith Value for gambling, completely ignoring Evolution, and ranking by numbers is unacceptable," Tiger said.

"In my view, these frivolous leaderboard things should be dropped; they're useless and only add trouble," Monkey said.

"The leaderboard existed before because of Wish Qualification and Ascend God Seed Identity; unless you can offer a sufficiently enticing reward, no one will buy in," Su Yang said.

"My proposal has already been stated; whether you approve is up to you," Wood Grain said.

"Someone like you can even join the Round Table Meeting; the heavens are truly blind," Python sneered.

"You…"

"Discussion Session is over; please have member Silver Moon present a proposal."

"It's my turn?"

Su Yang was startled, but quickly recovered and said seriously:

"My proposal is—"

"Activate the Cross‑Era Matching Mechanism; after matching, the Evolution Level of Old Era Players entering the game must be suppressed."

"Whether Gene Modification or Innate Talent level, none may exceed the highest value of current‑era players in this game!"
