Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 570 Fairness
Jin Zhengyang's almost wailing voice instantly resounded over the sky above the ruins of the Three Realms.

The teammates behind him also showed expressions of surprise and even horror.

The emergence of the second stage was really beyond expectations!
At the same time, for those who are familiar with and proficient in the scroll, the concept of the second stage is too easy to cause some wrong instinctive reactions: in general, when the boss enters the second stage of high-difficulty land reclamation, the new skill module will inevitably have the effect of "first sight kill". Therefore, after passing the first stage and seeing the unfamiliar second stage, most people do not think about how to win the battle, but how to linger on, so as to observe longer and see more skills.

But this mentality is too deadly on the real battlefield.

"Oops……"

In Duchen Cottage, seeing that Jin Zhengyang and the others were somewhat panicked, Ge Libang could not help but frown even more. At the same time, he reached into his arms, and his fingertips touched a smooth jade plate.

A red light flickered on the disk like a swimming fish. At the same time, the morale of the members of the rotating team in the Three Realms Ruins was shaken, as if someone had locked their consciousness. The panic and astonishment on their faces were instantly swept away, replaced by calmness and determination.

This is a privilege that only a handful of people like the Lord of Taixu Palace have, and they can give orders to every member of the rotating team. At this time, Ge Libang's way of giving orders is to boost morale so that they can make correct judgments in critical moments!
"The team disperses and each survives on their own, trying to draw out as many tricks from the demon as possible!"

In an instant, Jin Zhengyang made the most rational judgment.

The moment Taichu Tianzun's health bar was restored and he entered the second stage, the mission of their rotating team was over. After that, there was no room for struggle.

On the one hand, the momentary shock and despair had affected their morale after all... Even though they had regained their composure thanks to the treasure of Grihama, the key to the combat of this rotating team was passion, and the players in a calm state could not exert their full strength.

On the other hand, they were really at their wit's end. No matter how high their morale was, they couldn't produce more black mines.

In fact, using the black thunder obtained from the card loophole to knock off the first blood of Tianzun was already an over-fulfillment of the task. It can only be said that Tianzun is worthy of being Tianzun. The emergence of the second stage means that everything has re-entered the unknown area.

Exploring the unknown comes at a price.

Before entering the arena, this team carefully observed all the details of how the Celestial Lord killed all living beings in one second, and thus determined the tactic of using the "bounce off the scroll" method to avoid damage; and then using [Swallowing Heaven's Death Light] to cause substantial damage. In other words, being able to kill the first-stage Celestial Lord was based on the sacrifice of hundreds of moths that flew into the fire.

Now that the moths are gone, Tianzun has entered a new second stage, so... they have no choice but to transform themselves into moths.

And at the moment when Jin Zhengyang's order was conveyed, the figure of Tianzun suddenly disappeared in the hollow in the middle of the Three Realms Ruins, and at the same time appeared behind Jin Zhengyang.

Jin Zhengyang had tried his best to react and evade. With his reaction ability and ability to predict crises, he might have had a glimmer of hope to escape. However, perhaps he was distracted by the command and neglected his own safety. Or perhaps it was because Glibang used the jade plate to forcibly awaken the morale of the team members, and the side effect was that the reaction of the team members became slow... When Jin Zhengyang realized that Tianzun had taken action, it was already too late.

His entire body turned into a white light, then scattered and ceased to exist.

"Ahhhh!"

The shrill screams resounded through the sky again. In an instant, the elite team members around Jin Zhengyang showed expressions of extreme pain before they could even disperse. Some of them even convulsed and curled up in a ball in mid-air, unable to resist at all.

In order to maintain a slight resistance in front of the Heavenly Venerable and not die in a single encounter, this elite team had a life-sharing formation between them. Although Jin Zhengyang ordered them to disperse, he did not have time to undo the formation. As a result, the killing technique of the Heavenly Venerable Taichu happened to fall on everyone's head.

The group of people in the air, not to mention escaping in all directions and fighting guerrilla warfare with Tianzun, could not even maintain the dignity that an elite team member should have. The screams came one after another, continuously, making it impossible to imagine how much pain they were enduring... And Tianzun could actually make people endure real pain in the scroll, this magical power was even more horrifying!
For a moment, the people far away in Duchen House also felt a chill in their hearts. The two bald employees were frantically flipping through the logs, trying to find the loophole in this problem.

And at this moment, in the sky, Taichu Tianzun slowly turned his head and looked towards the distant east.

In an instant, Wang Luo felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole body shook violently.

Even though he was several maps away, he had already been locked by the Great Beginning Heavenly Venerable! At this time, all the scroll walkers around the Three Realms Ruins had been killed repeatedly by the Heavenly Venerable and were trapped in the resurrection cooldown period, so there was no time to contain them.

Before Tianzun took a step forward, the people in the small building had different reactions.

Qiu Heng weighed the pros and cons, gritted her teeth and stayed where she was without moving, but vomited blood again and spilled it on the workshop log at hand. As the founder of the workshop, she was not obliged to accompany Wang Luo to the last moment... It is better to say that she is now on the front line and has exceeded the task. However, no matter how much she exceeds the task, she must fully assess the risks. Her decision is not only about her, but also about her family and friends, as well as the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of people in the workshop... Therefore, after the key event, Qiu Heng can only do her best to bless the scroll itself as the owner of the workshop.

At the same time, Ge Libang stood up without hesitation and stood in front of Wang Luo. As the master of Taixu Mansion, he was very clear about his real responsibilities, and as an old man who had retired once, he didn't mind sacrificing his old self for the young.

But before Glibang moved, he saw a slight blur in front of his eyes, and someone was moving faster than him!
That was Wen Ya, Wang Luo's personal assistant. She had no actual ability to influence anything in the scroll, but at this moment, she was standing in front of Wang Luo with a look of fear on her face.

This woman, who had once been so poor that she had to wear a naked skin to solicit customers on a light boat, understood the principle that wealth and honor come from risk. The miserable life of the rotating team shocked her, but compared to not being able to repay the small loan, not being able to buy cosmetics, and not being able to keep up with the pace of life of the sisters, what was a mere death?
Of course, whether the people around him watched coldly or stepped forward to help... it made no difference in essence. Tianzun targeted Wang Luo, so he didn't care about anyone except Wang Luo. Anyone else was not in Tianzun's eyes.

At the same time, as Wang Luo's body was trembling, a flash of inspiration finally lit up in his mind.

"I understand……"

Hearing this, everyone around was stunned.

Wang Luo sighed and floated up into the air.

From the moment Tianzun arrived, he had been thinking about how to defeat his opponent, and why this opponent seemed so invincible.
When the Heavenly Lord condescended to visit the scroll, he naturally had to obey the rules of the Taixu Scroll, and this was also the premise of all strategies.

If Tianzun can do whatever he wants in the Taixu world and has privileges beyond anyone else, there is no need to introduce him into the illusion. Everyone can just fight life and death in reality... It is precisely because Taichu Tianzun wants to obey the rules of the illusion that many subsequent plans are made.

However, the Tianzun in the Legend of Subduing Demons obviously broke this common sense. From the moment he came down, he unscrupulously trampled on all the rules in the scroll.

Unreasonable amount of health, unreasonable attack power... He can crack the management authority of paid items and has so many unequal privileges, but he is obsessed with the so-called "fairness". He did not use his privileges to directly send Jin Zhengyang and others away, but instead had his full health bar reduced for a stage.

There must be an explanation that connects everything. And Wang Luo's mission is to find this explanation. Then he will step into the battlefield again and fight Tianzun in person. Taichu Tianzun was attracted by him, not those rotating team members who were hiding in the dark to practice and find loopholes. So, naturally, he should go to fight Tianzun.

Now, thanks to the sacrifices of Jin Zhengyang and others, Wang Luo has found that explanation.

"Tianzun, what you hold is the 'future version' of the Demon Slayer, right?"

The whispers coming from Duchen Cottage should have been confined to the courtyard, but Taichu Tianzun, who was far away in the ruins of the Three Realms, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and reveal a gratified smile.

"good."

This was the first time that Tianzun spoke, his voice was gentle and amiable, like that of a kind elder... However, the moment he spoke, the team members who were curled up and rolling around him suddenly turned into withered white light. And Gurihama's face was even more gloomy because of this. Obviously, the price those team members had to pay in reality was not just the death of the scroll incarnation.

Wang Luo turned a blind eye to this and just responded with a faint smile.

Regardless of whether Tianzun admits it or not, Wang Luo is sure that his judgment is correct.

The Tianzun must indeed abide by the rules of the scroll, but the Tianzun in front of him very cleverly chose to "overdraft" the rules. He was not obeying the current rules of the scroll, but a rule in the distant future that might be implemented but was still only on paper.

In the legend of exterminating demons in a few years, the value will surely expand to a level that is unimaginable to people today, so that even the final chapter demon boss like Tian Tunguidao will not be able to withstand a few punches and kicks from ordinary practitioners.

Similarly, in that version that has not yet been implemented, paid props do not exist, so using "paid props" is essentially blatant cheating and will naturally be excluded from the scroll itself.

Taichu Tianzun, because he wrapped himself in such a set of rules, possessed incredible strength. But since it was a rule, there were naturally limitations. For those opponents who did not directly violate the rules, Tianzun could only use the tricks and skills within the framework.

However, he was obviously not proficient in the techniques and skills in the Demon-Slaying Legend!

When facing Jin Zhengyang, the billions of light wheels he used at the beginning were visually stunning, but in essence they were a rather clumsy choice. When the value exceeded the standard, even a single light wheel could have fatal lethality, and overlapping it millions of times would not increase the effectiveness of the lethality. On the contrary, when Jin Zhengyang and others used loopholes to avoid damage and used plot props to cause cross-version damage, Taichu Tianzun did not show any effective response ability.

In the final analysis, Taichu Tianzun is not an experienced scroll painter, he is just a newbie who has just started to learn... Even if his original body is the Immortal Ancestor Chicheng, he cannot gain more proficiency out of thin air!

And this is the core reason why the Immortal Alliance set up the battlefield in the Taixu Scroll!

After seeing through the trump card in Tianzun's hand, Wang Luo already had enough chances of winning.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from mid-air and suddenly appeared above the ruins of the Three Realms, in front of Taichu Tianzun.

The relief in Taichu Tianzun's eyes was particularly sharp, and a ray of light that could destroy Wang Luo thousands of times was ready to be released.

However, Wang Luo took out a small flag out of thin air before him.

The moment the flag appeared, the majesty in Tianzun's eyes naturally dissipated. He seemed relieved or surprised. In short, he stood by and watched, allowing Wang Luo to plant the flag out of thin air.

The next moment, a circle spread out from the bottom of the flag, quickly expanding and encircling a spherical field with a diameter of one kilometer in mid-air.

In the venue, the sense of pressure from Taichu Tianzun shrank at an astonishing speed, and then shrank again... In a few breaths, he looked as strong as Wang Luo! Even in the workshop log, his data could be displayed correctly.

"Taichu Tianzun, level 100/?? (Fair Duel Mode), HP 3000/3000."

The words "fair duel" made Qiu Heng and the two bald employees cheer at the same time.

"Pretty!"

Gribang's eyes lit up and he felt a surge of admiration in his heart.

The Legend of Demon Slayer is a scroll that has been transformed in a rather hasty manner. It took only a short time to transform from a relatively fair large-scale social scroll to the current payment-oriented and highly inflated and iterative form. Therefore, there must be many abrupt and imperfect transformations in the scroll. At the same time, in order to retain the needs of the walkers, some of the framework designs of the old versions will also be retained.

This fair duel is the legacy of the past.

In this duel mode, the numerical values ​​of the two opponents will be compressed to be roughly equal, and the effects of fairy spells, magic weapons, elixirs, etc. will also be adjusted proportionally.

This model was carefully polished before the official launch of the painting scroll. In the early stage of the operation of the Demon Slayer, it also won praise from many practitioners with this model. However, after the rapid transformation, the so-called fair duel basically had no soil to survive. The most dazzling in the painting scroll are always and must be those big customers who spend money like water.

However, even so, the fair mode still exists. Those big customers will occasionally compete with ordinary practitioners in the fair mode to prove that in addition to their ability to pay, they also have outstanding skills.

And now, when Wang Luo raised the flag of fair duel, Taichu Tianzun lost all the privileges of transcending versions.

"Actually, you can refuse."

When he raised his head, Wang Luo said to Tianzun.

Taichu Tianzun just smiled and shook his head: "If I wanted to refuse, I wouldn't have come in the first place. Besides, I don't need to refuse at all. Even if I follow this set of rules, I can still win."
