Chapter 734: Pulling Tiger Skin to Raise a Big Flag! A Kidnapping Is Also a Reincarnation!

Inside the Villa.

"Burp~ comfortable!"

Lin Yang held a dental floss to clean the residue, patted his round belly, and wore a satisfied expression.

"Yang Ge, your cooking is really not bad; I now understand why they all gladly eat the meals you make," the newly joined man said, letting out a full belch.

Lin Yang's heart instantly blossomed at the words, yet his exterior remained calm and carefree, as if he cared little about the praise.

He moved a stool to his side, patted his shoulder and asked, "What, no one cooked where you used to live?"

"Yes, but they've already been killed by Su Yang," the man said.

"Snap!"

The sudden slap left him stunned; he rubbed his head in grievance and said, "Yang Ge, why did you hit me?"

"Su Yang's name is also one you can call?" Lin Yang glared at him.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Boss!"

"Oh..."

"Be a bit sharper, don't act like a fool; if you have time, say more flattering words, perhaps next evolution it'll be your turn," Lin Yang said earnestly.

"But if the game is won, can't the big guy also evolve together?"

"Are you stupid? The game can only evolve one item; what, are you planning to specialize?"

"Right..."

Luo Shuangshuang and Qin Weiyang sat nearby, learning to meditate like Wang Yuning, and when they heard Lin Yang scold the newcomer, they couldn't help opening one eye to watch.

"Pulling Tiger Skin to raise a big flag, a new official brings three fires, and even as an Ascend God Seed you're already lecturing others," Luo Shuangshuang quipped.

"Let him be; after all, Lin Yang is also this time's major contributor," Qin Weiyang said.

"Alright..." Luo Shuangshuang glanced at the wall clock and said, "By the way, it's already 1 a. m., why hasn't Su Yang returned yet?"

"This Round Table Meeting is crucial; let's wait a bit longer," Qin Weiyang began.

Lin Yang hummed a tune as he entered the living room, plopped onto the yoga mat and asked, "What are you muttering about?"

Luo Shuangshuang was about to speak when a thought struck, a sly glint in her eye, "We were just talking about Yu Ning and you; speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears."

"Oh?" Lin Yang's spirit perked up, feigning depth as he said, "You're speaking ill of me behind my back, right?"

"How could that be? You're now our respected top boss, who would dare?"

"Better not let me find out you're gossiping behind my back."

"No way, we just said your recent Gene Modification made you much more handsome than before."

"Is that so?"

Lin Yang instinctively touched his hair, glanced at the closed-eyed Wang Yuning, and coughed lightly twice, "Appearance is merely an empty shell, what truly attracts is the soul."

"Yoho, not bad, your speaking level has improved a lot; seems during this time you've learned quite a bit," Luo Shuangshuang said, surprised.

"Of course, can't you see who I learned from?" Lin Yang said proudly, hands on hips.

"Who exactly cultivated such an excellent Ascend God Seed?"

"That would naturally be..."

Lin Yang was about to speak when he realized the source of that voice.

He turned abruptly and saw the Portal open, revealing a handsome face with a half‑smile.

"I'm back," Su Yang said with a smile.

"Su Yang!" Lin Yang hurried forward.

The others rose, and Wang Yuning, who had been sitting upright for a long time, finally opened his eyes.

"You finally made it back; I've prepared the midnight snack, I'll go heat it up for you," Lin Yang took the Silver Moon Mask, turned, and ran to the dining table.

"How was it? Still smooth?" Luo Shuangshuang said with hopeful eyes.

"The process wasn't dangerous, right? Did the Old Era give you trouble?" Qin Weiyang asked concernedly.

Zhuge Chen rubbed his temple and stared silently at Su Yang, awaiting an answer.

Facing the crowd's curious expressions, Su Yang nodded, "It went smoothly and safely; everything is settled."

"Great!!"

Everyone immediately cheered.

"Now the Old Era Remnant Faction should no longer run rampant, right?" Ximen Zhirou raised his eyebrows and exhaled.

"Through this experience I learned many pieces of information and secrets; this world is far broader than we imagined, and our opponent is not only Yue Zhao," Su Yang explained.

Those words felt to the crowd like a bucket of cold water poured from head to toe.

Luo Shuangshuang's excitement was still evident on her face, but her expression suddenly stiffened.

"You mean… more than one Old Era?" Qin Weiyang asked.

"Do you still remember the Death Games each of you played?" Su Yang scanned the circle.

"What's wrong?"

"Each world you inhabit is real, and when an entire world is 'kidnapped' here it can be called an era, also a reincarnation."

"Huh?"

Luo Shuangshuang's eyes widened as if discovering a New Continent, "So before us, many worlds' people have already been kidnapped?"

Su Yang said nothing, only gave a slight nod.

"This..."

The crowd looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment.

In that case, Yue Zhao is merely a Little Karami.

There are stronger ones above him.

Above the ones above, there are even stronger ones!

It perfectly fits that saying—there are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens!

"How can we compete with them on the Golden Road?" Ximen Zhirou suddenly realized something extremely terrifying.

"Exactly. They've lived so long that in every aspect they must already be top‑tier, and their experience is immeasurably rich." Luo Shuangshuang grew more terrified the more she thought about it.

Her pretty face turned a few shades paler.

In comparison, Yue Zhao truly is just an inconspicuous minor figure.

He is ambitious, yet cannot be compared with figures from farther back.

At best, he is merely a slightly larger ant.

That's all.

"The Golden Road gathers the most outstanding players from across ages; how cruel will this Clash truly be?" Qin Weiyang murmured.

"The Divine Throne Contest naturally comes with rivers of blood as its price; if one wishes to stand out, one must defeat them all!" Su Yang nodded.

"But… that's just too hard." A strong sense of helplessness suddenly erupted in Luo Shuangshuang's heart.

Now she can't even guarantee Immortal in a single game.

Let alone competing with those ancient Monsters.

She might be gnawed down to nothing, not even a bone fragment left.

"We've been in this world for less than a year; this is far too unfair." Luo Shuangshuang bit her lower lip tightly.

"Not necessarily." Su Yang shook his head and continued: "The Golden Road spans all eras; its rules must be the fairest!"

At that moment, Ximen Zhirou had a flash of insight, "Is it possible—that the Golden Road limits a player's Talent Evolution Level and Gene Modification to a certain First Tier?"

"Most likely not; the fairness I speak of is based on the Prerequisite Condition of clearing the Golden Road," Su Yang said.

Everyone must achieve a certain Achievement to proceed further.

For example, the most basic Death Challenge.

No matter how strong one is, if even the fiercest cannot clear this stage, they will not even qualify to set foot on the road.
