There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 207 "Today is the most exhilarating battle of my life as Sword Without End.

He liked to rest on the roof.

He liked to go to a hotpot restaurant to eat hotpot.

Sometimes he would go outside the city to kill Minotaurs.

Most of the time he stayed in the Garden District, and only on rare occasions would he stand guard over Yancheng like the Seal of the Sea God Needle, such as during an Extraterrestrial Invader event.

Yancheng became the first city in the world to completely exterminate the Insect Race.

But... no one is speaking up to ask Chen Yi to stay.

Everyone knows in their hearts that even if Chen Yi stayed, he couldn't stop it, asking him to stay is just asking him to wait for death.

...

Chen Yi didn't activate the sled but walked slowly out of Yancheng with Jiaye, his expression calm, leaning on his cane and strolling along the street.

Looking ahead.

His eyes showed no ripples, it was unclear what he was thinking.

More and more Yancheng players, carrying weapons, followed behind Chen Yi—one to see him off on his last journey, the other to defend their homeland.

Most of these people were born here, lived here, and had no intention of dying elsewhere; dying here was the best outcome.

There weren't enough vehicles.

Nobody could escape.

If escape was impossible, then they might as well kill a few more of the God Race before dying.

If their ancestors could fight for this land with their lives, they could likewise defend it with theirs.

Gradually.

Chen Yi reached the outskirts of Yancheng, with plains stretching out before him and no tall buildings in sight, just a few scattered bungalows.

Not far away was the pyramid map.

It was the first map where Chen Yi shared tips on how to clear it.

And now behind him filled with Yancheng players, each carrying various kinds of weapons.

The chief of the Law Enforcement Bureau, followed by a large group of players, looked at Chen Yi's retreating figure with complex expressions. No one had anticipated that Chen Yi would rise so quickly, and he had almost become the strongest player in the world.

And such a player was one of their own from Yancheng.

It must be said, this was an honor for Yancheng.

Only, after all, they had provoked someone they shouldn't have.

Not a single person spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive for a moment.

After taking a deep breath, the chief of the Law Enforcement Bureau finally spoke, "Chen Yi, we'll accompany you this far. Next, we're going to face those bastard dogs of the God Race."

"Don't worry about us, didn't Li Peiqi in the live broadcast say it? The God Race will be punished for killing other human players besides their target, they can only kill a few hundred or thousand at most."

"Yancheng has never let its city gates be breached in the face of great enemies, and this time will be no exception."

"If the God Race wants to kill a few hundred of us, they'll have to lose thousands."

"It's a sure win."

"When you become stronger in the future, Chen Yi, slaughter more of those God Race bastards and avenge our brothers who die today."

The players from Yancheng standing behind didn't say a word, just crowded together en masse. Plainly speaking, those who had survived until now were no cowards.

They might cherish their lives, but when the great battle came, they were not afraid to die.

Chen Yi didn't respond, but continued standing in place, gazing into the distance across the plain, lost in thought, just standing there leaning on his cane like a pine tree standing between heaven and earth.

Proud, erect, and stubborn.

...

"It's no use."

Tuberculosis Rabbit pulled out his Claw Knife from inside his clothes, flexing his muscles and bones to prepare for the upcoming battle. He turned his head to Sword Without End and smiled, "So, is this your first time experiencing such a major event? Are you scared?"

"Let's see who kills more when we meet in hell later."

"Don't be too nervous, you have to die twice, after all."

"After dying once here, those of the God Race will probably chase us down to hell to kill us again, and our second death in hell will be the real one."

"This is just an appetizer."

"Is there really no way out?"

Sword Without End looked unwillingly at Chen Yi's back and said, "If Yi activated that Title Effect, it might change the whole situation completely."

"Is it really impossible?"

"Here."

Tuberculosis Rabbit held the Red Moon Claw Knife in his hand and said somewhat helplessly, "Obviously it's not possible. Although Yi is fond of Jiaye, it hasn't reached the point of love."

"I actually saw this ending coming from a mile away, after all expecting someone like Yi to fall in love with a woman... it's a bit far-fetched."

"But Yi almost fell in love when he was a child."

"That was back at the orphanage; Yi and I often lay on the wall of the orphanage, watching the kids outside play with their sandbags."

```

"At first, I thought Yi wanted to go out and play with sandbags too, so I egged him on to jump out and join me."

Tuberculosis Rabbit glanced at Chen Yi's retreating figure and saw that Yi had not noticed them, then continued in a hushed, stealthy voice, "But later I realized that during those days, Yi would always be punctually perched on top of the wall, and he was actually there to watch those kids play with sandbags."

"It was actually every day, punctually, a little girl would appear, carrying a sack to the nearby square to pick up empty bottles. That little girl was filthy with dust all over her face, and for some reason, she never even washed her face."

"I asked Yi why he was watching that little girl."

"Yi said he felt sorry for the little girl. While other girls could wear pretty clothes, only this one was dressed in tattered garments that seemed picked from garbage. Every time he saw the girl standing in the park waiting to pick up bottles after people had finished with them, in contrast to the other girls carefreely swinging on the swings, he felt a desire to protect her."

"That makes sense, doesn't it?"

Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded helplessly, "Actually, I really wanted to say, Yi, don't you realize we're also orphans here? But I didn't say that at the time. Instead, I suggested we jump down and join her."

"Yi didn't say a word."

"During those days, Yi still believed that his biological parents would come to find him, and he stayed at the orphanage every day, afraid he would miss them if they came looking."

"So in the following days, Yi would climb up to the wall on time every day, watching the bottle-picking girl."

"Later, maybe because the girl was too dirty, she upset those boys playing with sandbags. They told the little girl to get lost, and she, being timid, started crying on the spot."

"The boys dumped all the bottles from the girl's sack and kicked them around for fun, laughing all the while."

"Yi and I jumped down immediately."

"Bang, bang!!"

With some excitement, Tuberculosis Rabbit gestured with his fists, "One punch for each little rascal, had them all crying for their mothers. Later, that little girl didn't say a word and just ran off."

"After that, she never came back to our area to pick up bottles again."

"Yi and I lay on top of the wall every day waiting, but nothing happened. Those boys didn't come here to play with sandbags anymore, and the girl stopped coming to pick up bottles, leaving only the aunties who still danced in the square."

"But a week later, there was suddenly a noise saying that a package had been thrown over the wall."

"We rushed over and snatched the package."

"Inside was a brand new sandbag and a note with a message in crooked handwriting."

'Thanks for last time, this is a sandbag I bought for you with my zan money. It's new, so you can play with it by yourself and don't have to watch others.'

"Yeah, the handwriting was quite ugly, and she didn't know how to write 'saved,' just the pinyin."

"It was sent by that little girl."

"After that... Yi seemed to have fallen in love, spending most of his time every day on top of the wall, but since then, the girl never showed up again."

"Until Yi took me away from the orphanage, the girl never appeared again, and eventually, Yi gradually forgot about the incident."

"But that sandbag and the note are still kept in Yi's room."

Then, with some sighs, Tuberculosis Rabbit said, "That was probably Yi's first love, although it seems it ended before it even started. Feelings during youth are always like a tornado, coming quickly and fleeing just as fast."

"Originally, Yi only needed to wait for his own parents at the orphanage. Later, he added another wait, for that little girl."

"And then he left the orphanage without waiting for either."

"What started as a single sorrow ended up doubling."

"I always say, women are trouble. Did you see how even such a young girl could have Yi spend his entire days lying on the wall?"

"I wanted to play with the sandbag, but Yi wouldn't let me."

"It infuriates me. Aren't sandbags meant to be played with? Keeping it beside the bed all the time, is it supposed to sprout another sandbag or something?"

"Don't you think so?"

"If we could find that girl, perhaps Yi could truly fall in love with a woman and thereby activate the Title Effect, solving Jiaye smoothly."

"But with no information at all, finding someone out of thin air is immensely difficult."

"That is true."

With a helpless sigh, Sword Without End slowly drew the Three-Foot Qingfeng from the scabbard on his back, gripping it in his hand, pointing it to the ground, and squinted with ferocity towards the booming noises that had begun not far off.

"If that's the case, then let's fight!"

"Three million Sword Immortals in the sky, all must bow low at my sight!"

"Today shall be the most exhilarating battle of my life as Sword Without End."

The God Race army had already arrived.

They could already hear the thunderous thumping of the massive force running across the ground, and through the live stream, they could see the God Race army rapidly advancing in a certain direction.

Their destination was none other than Yancheng.

Even though it was a march.

Somehow, their pace was incredibly fast, even reaching speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour, much faster than some vehicles on the highway.

Is this really the speed of an army on foot?

The means was unknown, perhaps some prop or another method.

Chen Yi, standing at the forefront of all players in Yancheng, had been motionless from the start, as if transformed into a statue.

Just then.

Tie Chui, who had been standing beside him lost in thought for a long time, suddenly stammered.

"Tuberculosis Rabbit... bro, the girl you... talked about... seems to be my... sister."
