wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu rubbed his slightly aching temples,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only wanted to visit and tour the Endless Forest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to see the local customs and

indeed so, and Su Yu admitted it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she still wanted to see it firsthand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailiya's words left Su Yu momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he responded: \"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he opened the lord terminal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>immediately logged into the \"Simulation Battle Network,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and then promptly entered the simulation space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long wanted to find a way to ditch this curious infant-like elf princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she wanted to watch him fight

widened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the words 'Moonfall',\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were like a strong stimulant injected into his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, quick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TW's publicity department instantly mobilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Ma Kusi had waited for this moment for too long,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Moonfall logged off last time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he hadn't competed for many days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>making Ma Ma Kusi live like a zombie these past days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure from superiors was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TW's act of creating a deity on the Simulation Battle Network,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was not uncommon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But never heard of a deity being created halfway and then disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>⑦⑥③④⑧〇①⑤⑦\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Ma Kusi had allocated so many resources to Moonfall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and these days he had suffered countless attacks from competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More crucially,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Boundless Battlefield entered summer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost no new-generation lords were paying attention to TW simulated battles anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those new-generation lords had all come because of Moonfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Moonfall not logging in,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and they themselves facing drought challenges,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>naturally they had no mood to watch any simulated battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TW officially issued a notification:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonfall has logged in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the number of online viewers for TW simulated battles skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only those new-generation lords,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but also many past-generation lords,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>especially now, many past-generation lords who wanted to snipe Moonfall and become famous in one battle had joined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>last time Moonfall had defeated the Divine Beast Clan, one of the Seven Great Clans of the Myriad Worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was enough to garner attention from many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, defeating Moonfall was no longer just an old lord bullying a new one,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but something that could genuinely earn honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charge charge charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beat that

eyes: Su Yu was Moonfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact, no matter how unbelievable or incredible, was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This cannot be changed; it is simply a fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailiya giggled foolishly and chose to spectate the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Match pairing completed.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Land \"Never Falling\" vs.

again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bao Bao Yuan on the commentator's desk spoke with a hint of antagonism,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a match between a new lord and a veteran lord,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Moonfall vs. veteran lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He singled out Moonfall from among the new lords,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attempting to stir up more personal resentment towards Moonfall among veteran lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Moonfall was online,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bao Bao Yuan rushed over hastily, even though he was only halfway through dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello everyone, I'm the new commentator, Xiaoxiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the commentator's desk, a woman commentator with a neat appearance seemed somewhat nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to partner with the veteran commentator Bao Bao Yuan this time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And commentating on Moonfall's match,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an opportunity for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moonfall, I believe everyone is already familiar with him, so I won't introduce him much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bao Bao Yuan emphasized the two words 'Moonfall' heavily in his tone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, whenever he thinks of Moonfall, his stomach and intestines ache faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has completely locked horns with Moonfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply doesn't believe a new lord can keep winning continuously in TW simulation

Bao Yuan turned his gaze to the information on the \"Battlefield Fortress\" land,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon looking, his heart immediately skipped a beat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy is completely inferior to Moonfall's previous opponents!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nearly forgot that Moonfall's previous opponents were all using alternate accounts,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their main
