Chapter 743: Single‑handedly Challenge an Era?! Arriving to a World No One Dares to Face!

When those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the study suddenly solidified.

Huang Hua had been laying the groundwork for so long, it was easy to guess that this was what he was aiming for.

Yin Yun said that letting Huang Hua move in was also to facilitate Deduction of the future, and during that time had heard many shocking things.

Yet even now, at this very moment, his heart still trembles.

With Wan Shi Tong's involvement, Huang Hua can, by stealing Old Era information, Deduce everything he wishes to know.

He acquired many new terms.

Yet at this moment he suddenly introduced the concept of a Shortcut, truly catching everyone off guard.

Moreover, its difficulty exceeds that of Death and Rebirth and is linked to the annexation of an era.

Su Yang…

Can it be traversed?

At this moment, no one spoke.

Including Zhuge Chen beside him.

And at the tea table, Huang Hua merely slowly refilled and poured tea for Su Yang.

Cycle after cycle, always the same.

When the evening wind passed over the wind chime on the study's window, a crisp ethereal sound rang out, and Su Yang finally lifted his gaze.

Huang Hua paused his tea‑drinking and asked, "Any result?"

"I've been thinking nonstop; on the surface this sentence contains an answer, yet something seems missing."

"You must have omitted a line, right?" Su Yang asked.

Huang Hua slowly placed the teacup back on the tea tray and said, "How should this be said?"

"As you said, the Golden Road has countless forks; no matter which way you go, there is always a path leading to the next stage."

"And the Golden Throne is about to appear; if I proceed step by step in order, how can I catch up?"

"These Prerequisite Conditions must be completed within the Death Game; no matter how hard I sprint forward, I can never keep pace with players who have accumulated millennia."

"So you must have omitted a line—'This is my only chance'!" Su Yang said softly.

A look of admiration flashed in Huang Hua's eyes; without taking a stance he said, "Yin Yun has told me more than once that your mindset and Brain far exceed ordinary people; it seems indeed so."

"You can perceive the true meaning of my words, which shows you wish to take on this Task!"

Su Yang smiled, "The Golden Road is like climbing a mountain; some are willing to ascend one step at a time, taking more time and effort, but at least they can appreciate the beautiful scenery around them and sometimes pause to admire it."

"Others only want to reach the summit; they choose to spend money on a cable car, which easily misses the scenery, but all they want is the result."

"Now the Shortcut lies before me; with little time left, I have no choice!"

"What you give is not an option, but a Final Ultimatum!"

"If I don't accept, wouldn't I waste the many days of your effort?"

"The wounds on you… wouldn't that be in vain?"

A deeper admiration shone in Huang Hua's eyes as he sighed, "Aren't you afraid I'll say it out loud and you can't bear it?"

"Opportunities belong to the prepared; heaven never blocks all paths, and I believe New Era players can also vie for the Golden Throne," Su Yang said.

"But if you fail, won't your fate be even worse than a Slave?" Huang Hua asked.

"Would I not do this… waiting until the Old Era crashes down, when all living things are scorched and everyone is in danger, would my fate then be any better than a Slave's?" Su Yang said with a half‑smile.

Huang Hua pondered a moment, then laughed, "With such Gallbladder, I'm no better than you."

"Brother Huang, you're joking; if you stood in my shoes, you'd make the same choice."

"After all… who wouldn't be moved by the Golden Throne?" Su Yang said with a smile.

The two exchanged smiles, and the solidified atmosphere instantly dissipated.

"Drink tea."

"Thank you."

Su Yang lifted the teacup and took a sip; after several brews, the bitterness vanished, replaced by silkiness and sweetness.

Huang Hua introduced, "This tea is called 'First Spring'; I specifically purchased it from the Shopping Mall for tonight."

"At first brew the taste is poor, like people at the end of winter, with heavy snow and bone‑chilling cold."

"But the longer it brews, the snow melts, all things revive, and all beauty will arrive."

Su Yang spat out the tea dregs and said softly, "I don't understand tea, but I trust my palate; whatever makes me happy is good!"

"Ha ha…" Huang Hua repeatedly agreed, sighing, "Tea lovers share a common trait: they wish time could slow down."

"I have no feeling for tea, and not many love tea," Su Yang said evasively.

"Since that's the case, I'll speak plainly."

Huang Hua's tone shifted, his gaze heavy, "The fourth step, which is the Shortcut I mentioned—you need to enter another Sea Area and single‑handedly challenge an entire era!"

What?!

When those words were spoken, Zhuge Chen and Yin Yun both trembled.

They widened their eyes, as if experiencing Illusion Hearing.

"You're not kidding, right? To challenge an entire era with a single person's strength?" Yin Yun was shocked.

"That's impossible," Zhuge Chen slowly shook his head.

"Exactly, it's an impossible Task, which is why it's a Shortcut." Huang Hua stared at Su Yang and nodded heavily.

"Has anyone ever accomplished it before?" Yin Yun asked curiously.

"Yes, but only one person!" Huang Hua declared emphatically.

If no one had succeeded, it would be extremely hard for him to present this Shortcut without any proof.

Precisely because someone succeeded, he could tailor it for Su Yang!

"So... I pick a single era alone, and after succeeding I can swallow an entire era, and complete the Task?" Su Yang asked.

"Exactly, and your progress can be leveled with the front‑most players, even surpassing most Old Era Top Players!" Huang Hua said.

"What's the method of going solo?" Zhuge Chen asked curiously.

"Enter the Old Era, take part in their existing rule matches, and as the difficulty gradually increases, win everything!" Huang Hua explained.

"Wait." Yin Yun suddenly Scent Perception a hint of something off, "Putting aside the matter of participating in matches, how can Su Yang enter the Old Era?"

"That's your matter, I cannot provide assistance," Huang Hua shook his head.

Zhuge Chen's Brow furrowed tightly; he felt this road was very hard to walk, perhaps not passable at all.

One must know that within the Sea Area there are countless deep‑sea leviathans, and even if the Shop sells vessels, they cannot pass the Era Barrier to enter other eras.

Retreat a ten‑thousand steps and say, even if Su Yang succeeds in entering, how can he, by his own power alone, defeat those old things?

The difficulty keeps increasing, and it's obvious that as the number of wins grows, the players he encounters will be even stronger.

"So, as long as you clear every challenge and win until the Old Era has no one to oppose, that counts as a takeover?" Yin Yun asked.

"This itself is a declaration of war within the bounds of the rules, and only a handful can achieve it."

"Moreover..."

A strange hue flashed in Huang Hua's eyes, "To kill into this world where no one dares to fight, isn't that delightful?"

Su Yang's heart stirred at the words, and he said softly:

"Isn't it just crossing eras, this job..."

"I, Su Yang, accept!"
