Doctor Zhao walked forward following Yan Zhichun while asking in a low voice:

“Yan Zhichun… what exactly do you want me to destroy?”

Yan Zhichun turned her head after hearing this, the corners of her mouth slightly turning up: “Here… is there anything else?”

Doctor Zhao froze, then his face immediately filled with terror, and his advancing footsteps slowly came to a halt: “You’re fucking insane…”

“I’m not insane.” Yan Zhichun said. “Doctor Zhao, even if you leave now it doesn’t matter, we’ll find a way to destroy it ourselves.”

“You…”

“It’s just that with you here, our success rate will be higher.” Yan Zhichun added.

“Whether this succeeds or not, we’re all dead already!!” Doctor Zhao reached out and grabbed Yan Zhichun’s arm. “Just who the hell are you…? Gathering so many people here to do this kind of thing, this is simply too absurd!”

“Running away now won’t allow anyone to survive either.” Yan Zhichun pushed away Doctor Zhao’s hand and said, “The arrow is already on the bowstring. Even if we do nothing this cycle, someone will shuffle us.”

“What…?”

“The entire ‘Land of Finality’ is already in chaos.” Yan Zhichun said. “We can only take a gamble on this slim chance here.”

While the two were talking, they had already arrived beneath the giant bell and display screen.

Jiang Ruoxue and Zhoumo were leaning against two massive pillars, looking toward them.

“Tsk, wearing high heels?” Zhoumo asked. “Walking so slowly?”

“Fast enough already.” Yan Zhichun said. “Now we need to initiate ‘Demonic Sound Descending from Heaven.’ All plans will use our actions as the baseline.”

Jiang Ruoxue walked forward and placed her hand on Zhoumo’s shoulder.

Yan Zhichun nodded and turned around to speak:

“Everyone.”

All the nearby people stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at Yan Zhichun.

“I am both the Extreme Path King and the organizer of this operation. I will now inform everyone of the final action objective.”

As soon as the words fell, the giant bell began to sway gently, then started ringing with chaotic collision sounds.

The names of “Echoes” began appearing continuously on that screen.

“Clang!”

It seemed that before the final objective was announced, everyone in “Extreme Path” had already begun eagerly preparing.

“Although this road is long, for this plan it is merely the beginning. As long as we execute the opening well, everything afterward will naturally fall into place.”

“Clang!”

More and more “Echoes” began lighting up. The entire screen was densely covered with text, so much that they could no longer be distinguished individually.

Doctor Zhao’s heart was racing. He raised his head to look at the giant bell but suddenly noticed something unusual—at the top of the building, there were actually figures standing.

He looked along the darkness and saw people wearing black leather jackets standing on the rooftops on both sides of the road. They stood quietly in the heights like sculptures, expressionless.

These people clearly seemed somewhat different from those below… Doctor Zhao felt like he had seen these people in leather jackets before.

He had been killed by these people at “Heaven’s Gate.”

“Next, everyone should do their utmost to destroy the giant bell and display screen behind me.” Yan Zhichun said with a grave expression. “After I finish this sentence, we will face countless obstacles. Every companion around us may die, but we will still meet at the finish line.”

After hearing this, everyone present hesitated slightly, then more sounds of “Echoes” burst forth.

“Clang!”

Jiang Ruoxue saw this scene and waved at Yan Zhichun. Yan Zhichun walked to her side, listened to her whisper a few words, then nodded and continued speaking:

“Everyone, if the mission is fortunately completed, please follow the eight temporary squad leaders nearby to evacuate. They know the escape routes. Now, temporary squad leaders, please raise your hands to indicate yourselves to those around you.”

People in the crowd began raising their hands one after another. These were the leadership personnel that Jiang Ruoxue had appointed in advance through Zhoumo’s voice transmission.

Yan Zhichun looked around and found that Jiang Ruoxue, Zhoumo, Old Sun, Xiao Xiao, Old Deng, Aunt Tong, and others had all raised their hands in various locations. There was also an old man she wasn’t familiar with. Then Yan Zhichun herself also raised her hand, taking on the task of the eighth temporary squad leader.

“The mission has been fully communicated.” Yan Zhichun finally said. “Everyone, may fortune be with you. As long as I’m still alive, I will definitely guide everyone through voice transmission. But if I die, you must still find a way to follow the squad leaders and escape. I hope to see you at the finish line.”

The crowd was exceptionally quiet. No one said anything.

“Everyone, long live Extreme Path.”

“Long live Extreme Path!”

“Long live Extreme Path!”

Countless echoing voices rang out from all directions.

Before everyone’s voices had even finished, a disheveled, gaunt old man suddenly appeared behind Yan Zhichun.

He was leaning on a crooked, twisted wooden cane, wearing ill-fitting white clothes, standing there looking blankly at the crowd before him.

Everyone present was immediately shocked and alarmed, taking combat stances one after another.

But the old man just smiled bitterly and shook his head, making no other moves.

Yan Zhichun recognized that the person before her was Baihu and hurriedly stepped back a few paces with Zhoumo and Jiang Ruoxue beside her.

“Strange.” Baihu opened his mouth and spoke in a hoarse voice. “This scene right now is truly strange.”

The Heavenly-Dog on the “Train” also suddenly widened his eyes at this moment. He felt the current situation was somewhat complex, so he hurriedly stood up from beside the round table.

“What’s wrong…?” Heavenly-Snake paused and asked, but before Heavenly-Dog could respond, Heavenly-Snake also instantly widened his eyes. “What!?”

“Not good… seems not good…” Heavenly-Dog reached out and scratched his fat cheeks. “Heavenly-Snake… what should we do now…?”

“Speak if you have something to say.” Heavenly-Bull beside them flexed his wrists. “Why panic?”

“Those ‘Participants’…!” Heavenly-Dog swallowed. “They’ve gathered a large group of people and are about to destroy the display screen and giant bell!”

Many “Heavenly-Level” beings were stunned after hearing this, feeling somewhat unable to understand these people’s motives.

Even “Participants” needed to follow the guidance of the display screen and giant bell to confirm whether they had obtained “Echoes.” What benefit would destroying the equipment have for them?

“We need to tell Qinglong…” Heavenly-Snake said with unfocused eyes. “We can’t decide this matter! But the giant bell and display screen absolutely cannot be destroyed! I still need them to help me find my eyeballs!”

“But do you all know where Qinglong is?” Heavenly-Horse asked.

Everyone was speechless.

“Don’t panic.” Heavenly-Bull said. “I’ll handle it.”

Everyone turned to look at her after hearing this.

“This kind of thing doesn’t need to alarm Qinglong at all.” Heavenly-Bull continued. “After all, these ‘Participants’ are opposing all ‘Participants.’ In their view, if the giant bell and display screen are destroyed, naturally their own losses would be greater.”

“Then… you’re going to…” Heavenly-Snake glanced at Heavenly-Bull and instantly understood her idea. “Brilliant… this is brilliant…”

“I’ll immediately activate ‘Sound Amplification.'” Heavenly-Bull said. “Just offer some stakes and this matter can be easily resolved. For example… ‘Participants’ who can protect the display screen and giant bell can receive one thousand ‘Dao.'”
