Chapter 908: When the Tide Recedes, You See Who's Swimming Naked! Auction Segment?!

Permanent Member?

Host!?

One-Vote Veto Power!

A few simple words combined together.

How can they leave people completely baffled?

Aside from Lin Yang, the other four present are attending the Round Table Meeting for the first time.

They originally went there full of hope, heading to this supreme gathering.

All to showcase their abilities.

But they didn't expect that, upon entering, they'd hear such a shocking announcement.

That's right, it's an announcement!

Without any warning, a voice devoid of any emotion immediately declared a gulf-like gap between them.

You should know that the Round Table Meeting has only occurred three times since its inception.

And the Permanent Seat was produced just like that?

And there are two of them!

Doesn't that mean...

Yin Yue and Tiger haven't missed a beat?

And they've hit the top eight in efficiency for three straight Clearances?

"This..." Tree Leaf was instantly speechless, eyes wide with shock as they stared at Yin Yue, who was holding the Golden Scepter.

Also a New Era Player.

Is the gap really that huge?

If it weren't clear that the big guys were all 'kidnapped' at the same time.

Tree Leaf even suspects Su Yang is a Pioneer Server player.

Having become familiar with this world a step earlier than they did.

To join the elite ranks, the effort they put in has almost drained the luck of their first half of life.

After finally reaching this point, they were told that someone had already easily and comfortably claimed the coveted reward.

And it happened three times in a row!

A Normal Difficulty player might not know.

But precisely because they know how hard this step is, they're even more surprised.

In an era without a leaderboard, they could never know just how terrifyingly strong the top players are.

Just as—

When the tide recedes, you finally see who's swimming naked.

"Is this even possible?" Rabbit exclaimed, mouth agape.

"His war spoils are recorded in the annals; he's already a walking piece of history..." Rhino said, his voice slightly hoarse.

"He's too strong; his strength is almost inhuman. He's the Divine of this era!" White Day shouted.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, full of question marks.

Although this is indeed surprising, it doesn't have to be taken to such an extreme.

"Brother, I understand your admiration, but calling him Divine is a bit exaggerated, don't you think?" Mountain said.

Lin Yang thought to himself, "It's ruined."

He originally just wanted to play the role of a passerby and then lavishly praise Su Yang.

But he didn't expect that, in his excitement, he overdid it and ended up showing a few cracks.

Just as he was pondering how to smooth things over, Rabbit spoke up,

"Actually, I can understand that; after all, Yin Yue's strength is so great it already exceeds the scope of Normal Difficulty players."

White Day slapped the table, pointing at Rabbit and praising, "You get me!"

Tree Leaf still harbored doubts, but didn't speak at that moment.

The situation on the field remains unclear.

And the Proposal is imminent; now the crucial task is how to stand out.

Convince everyone!

Just as they were amazed, Su Yang was scanning the Star Dome for potentially good Proposals.

Appreciating the wisdom of predecessors can also be a means of progress.

Blindly practicing Closed Seclusion will only cause New Era players to become stagnant.

Learning foreign techniques to counter the foreign—what's wrong with that?

"Out of billions of Proposals, which one is actually effective?" Su Yang furrowed his brows.

He doesn't have much time.

Even counting everything, it's only about ten minutes.

Once the Proposal starts, he has no time to pay attention to these.

Therefore, he must seize the time.

But looking around, the Stars all look the same.

There is nothing abrupt or conspicuous.

Thus, this process feels more like opening a blind box.

"The distribution of Stars is random, which means you can't judge the age of an era by their positions."

"Ancient things aren't necessarily good, nor are they necessarily suited to the New Era."

Su Yang pondered briefly, then simply chose at random.

"Fine, just pick any one."

Consider it a way to broaden his thinking.

Then he fixed his gaze on one among the countless Xingchen.

'Do you select this Proposal?'

"Yes!"

In the next instant, the Xingchen abruptly turned into a parchment.

It gradually unfolded.

Above, the details of this Proposal were listed—

'Initiate an Auction Phase, with the bottom ten teams in combined Faith Value from each Death Game round serving as auction items.'

'Note: The auction treats each team as a single entity, and during the auction the players' personal information must be displayed clearly.'

'Including but not limited to Talent Evolution level, Gene Modification level, historical achievements, etc.'

'Auction eligibility is granted to players who obtain a rare Hidden Achievement in the current round; the starting bid is set at 1 Faith Value, each bid must be at least 1 Faith Value, with No Upper Limit.'

'The highest bidder wins, and the auction item automatically becomes part of the new team.'

'Everything owned by the auction item becomes property of the winning team's Ascend God Seed, granting absolute authority.'

'Faith Value spent during the auction is by default returned to the Rules.'

Seeing this, Su Yang's eyes suddenly flashed with a keen light.

"What a perfect victim!"

It is not hard to see that the cruelty of this era is astonishing.

The weak do not even have the right to commit suicide.

They are reduced to commodities, traded at will.

And what the bidders desire may not be merely the players themselves.

They spare no Faith Value to purchase a bunch of 'waste material', their aim surely being a deeper benefit.

At present, Su Yang has not yet entered the Fourth Stage.

He does not understand the subsequent world's operating logic, and cannot make a concrete judgment.

"Even 'Slave Trade' has emerged; will claiming kingship and domination still be far off?" Su Yang thought to himself.

Worlds with self-contained systems are often held in the hands of players who possess the voice of authority.

Only Top Players can partake in the Round Table Meeting.

And Top Players can devise rules that surpass their own.

Over time, the weak will be devoured completely.

Not even bone fragments will remain.

Meanwhile, the strong will become increasingly domineering, their power ever larger.

Until they challenge the era.

"It seems, then, that my earlier proposal to Loot Dependents was too conservative," Su Yang mused.

He put forward this Proposal to enlarge his own team.

To acquire more Faith Value to fill himself.

Now it appears the scope is still too small.

But all roads lead to the same destination; with this foundation, the future can be gradually refined.

At this point, the ten minutes have elapsed.

The parchment slowly recoiled, like a stimulated mimosa, retreating back into the Xingchen.

The bird's‑eye view of everything dropped sharply, eventually returning to its origin.

Su Yang, still not satisfied, continued to feel the overwhelming power that had just ruled everything.

There was no sense of loss in his heart.

On the contrary, he felt more excitement and agitation.

He grew ever more determined to sit upon the Golden Throne!

"This is not a privilege or a reward; it is pure temptation," Su Yang lowered his gaze at the Golden Scepter, a faint glimmer flashing in his eyes.

Immediately after, he slightly lifted his eyelids and scanned the seven people.

Then he announced loudly, "Oral Proposal begins; please let 'Shu Ye' speak first, time limit five minutes."
