Chapter 919: Chapter 599: World Enemy
A long while.
Polaris finally snapped back to reality.
He took a deep breath, still finding it hard to accept this fact.
Looking up at his surroundings, for so reason, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the atmosphere was extrely off. The residents of the Royal City on the streets were hurrying, their expressions grave.
Ding!
The panel suddenly notified him.
Polaris opened it, and his barely cald mind was once again thrown into turmoil!
[Main Quest of Version 3.0 Triggered: The King in Azure!]
Quest Description: The Father of Darkness has fallen. “White Dragon” Jack Spett has inherited his power, becoming the new disaster of the world. The Tresor Empire is about to launch an offensive, with the Shelter, the Judiciary, and even the Seven Gods Church joining forces to suppress this new era’s sinner, “The King in Azure.”
You need to make a choice.
Will you choose to join the Empire’s faction and participate in the crackdown, or will you choose to join the King in Azure’s faction, helping him resist the entire world?
Note: Your choice will lead to irreversible unknown consequences!
Mission Target: Kill “The King in Azure” Jack Spett / Resist the Empire’s besieging forces.
Mission Rewards: Calculated based on the final Contribution Degree. (Reward pool includes Experience Points, currency, Special Attribute Points, Blessing Points, chosen faction Affection, regional reputation, and unknown rewards, etc.)
“Teacher… has beco the world’s enemy!”
Polaris gasped sharply.
It was at this mont that he understood what the ssage his teacher sent him before the version update truly ant.
You and I will both face a choice of destiny…
Now, this choice was right in front of him.
Should he follow the tide, stand against his teacher, and beco his enemy, or steadfastly support his teacher and fight alongside him against this world?
Polaris’s face was heavy.
He suddenly rembered a lot.
He recalled entering this new ga with an apprehensive heart during the beta test, originally intending to use his past gaming experience to achieve sothing and improve his real-life conditions.
Earn enough money for his grandmother’s surgery, move together out of the low-rent housing…
All of that had been accomplished now, and he had made many friends.
This was all thanks to one person.
His teacher, Jack Spett.
Their initial eting felt like destiny.
The teacher had given him special power and status, allowing him to shine brightly and successfully live an ideal life.
Polaris once forgot that it was just a ga. The teacher’s charm had shaken his basic understanding as a top player, making him sympathize with the people of this world and even learn to connect with his junior disciples.
Though he sotis felt he was crazy to harbor feelings for characters in a ga, in the end, any thought of his teacher made him feel justified…
Why not just treat this as another world?
“Join Jack’s faction.”
Polaris gradually cald down, casually making the decision.
Not just because of the main quest, even if this character was ruined, and he never played the ga again, Polaris wouldn’t choose to betray his teacher…
Because he felt, it wasn’t a matter of gain.
He just didn’t want to have regrets.
He had truly and genuinely taken Jack as his teacher.
And not just as a ga NPC.
“Perhaps Dongyang was right, maybe I can’t tell reality from the virtual anymore…”
He laughed at himself wryly.
Imdiately afterward, Polaris pondered the serious matter of the main quest.
Even without delving into it, he could guess.
Besides a minority who sided with Jack, the vast majority of players who received the main quest would at most be surprised, but wouldn’t refuse the overwhelming trend.
To ninety-nine percent of players, the teacher was just a version’s villain BOSS, even though he had been a hero in the past two versions…
At most, they’d sigh at how well the main storyline’s twist was executed.
“How is this battle supposed to be fought?”
Polaris felt a suffocating pressure.
Facing the Empire, the Royal Family, and the Seven Gods Church, along with all the players on the server…
It truly was a fight against the whole world.
Ding!
Polaris suddenly received a ssage.
Opening the panel, it was information from other squad mbers.
Apparently, Dongyang Chenxi and others had also received the main quest notification and were shocked by the changes in version 3.0. They urgently needed to regroup and discuss the next plan.
“—et at the Immortal Realm.”
Polaris sent a short ssage, his expression grave.

“—Unbelievable! My God, who could have guessed the final boss of version 3.0 would be Jack?!”
“—Thrilling! Totally thrilling!”
“—I was originally a Circus player, and now I have to turn against the boss. It feels weird, but it sure is interesting.”
“—Interesting my ass! Don’t bully our big Jack!”
“——Get lost, if you have the guts, choose Jack’s faction, just see if we won’t crush you then!”
The ga forums were flooded with a surge of posts.
Thousands of comnts and insults appeared in re seconds, only to be pushed away by more heated discussions.
Of course, the vast majority of players have chosen the Empire faction.
After all, nothing is more enticing than a clear objective, especially with the “heroic figures” who made headlines in the first two versions.
Now that the heroes have fallen and beco the ultimate villains, it satisfies a large number of lore enthusiasts. Now, hundreds of millions of players have only one thing in mind, which is to officially start the fight and together bring down the version 3.0 villain boss—the King in Azure, Jack!
Many posts have already started to discuss detailed plans.
Including even how to dismantle the Circus, which character to start with, how to unite with the rest of the Seven Gods Church, find Jack’s weak spot, and attempt a one-hit kill, etc…
Small house by Wonderland Lake.
Players here are now few and far between.
Because once they accepted the main quest and chose the Empire faction, they automatically separated from the Circus forces and beca adversaries.
The Polaris Squad is fully assembled.
They looked around and noticed a new floating grassland and a Golden Sacred Tree on the horizon, and a desert area in the distance, as if the Wonderland had quietly undergone so transformations…
But right now, they weren’t concerned about these.
“Sigh, who would have thought the plot would progress like this… Now there are only a few hundred Circus players left, while others have chosen the Empire faction and plan to join forces against Jack.”
Su Keying sighed.
“A bunch of ingrates! Damn it, Jack was so good to them back then, and now they’ve all run away! I’m so pissed off!!”
Wei Yin was frantic, stamping her feet in place.
Then Polaris suddenly asked Dongyang, Chenxi, and Doghead Gold:
“What is your guild planning? I don’t believe it will be the sa old plan… Following Jack blindly in version 3.0 won’t work, the risk is just too high. It might end up like Lost Nas in version 1.0, falling alongside the Red Apple Church.”
Dongyang, Chenxi, and Doghead Gold all nodded in agreent.
“Hall of Valor, Chuxi, and God’s Love are all large guilds supported by consortiums. There are many things we can’t say for certain, and we can’t make the decisions…”
Dongyang nodded heavily.
He sighed.
“We’ve already urgently adjusted our strategic deploynt internally, and the other eight departnts have all changed their strategies and moved to the Empire faction to deal with Jack… But the guild master Xiaoguang fought hard to keep and Horseman Kuang Benkuang here. Honestly, I don’t want to oppose Jack either, having played for two versions, I’ve grown attached to the Circus.”
“Chuxi’s situation is similar.”
Honey Polo added.
She looked at the Chenxi guild master beside her and whispered to everyone:
“Chenxi was originally planning to step down as guild master, but the person in charge from the consortium had no choice but to agree to let us stay in the Circus.”
Everyone cast surprised glances at Chenxi.
This dignified lady waved her hand.
“Don’t look at like that; won are all emotional. Besides, I believe everyone doesn’t want to leave just because of a main quest… At worst, we’ll just start a new character and play again.”
“I love you, Sister Chenxi!”
Wei Yin jumped over and hugged her, making Chenxi show an embarrassed expression for the first ti.
Everyone then turned to look at Doghead Gold.
This guy shook his head.
“I can’t help it; President Shiren’s character has always been profit above all else. During the eting, he forced Unforgettable and to accept the main quest and then find an opportunity to defect, trying to dismantle the Circus from within…”
“Scumbag!”
Wei Yin glared.
She said angrily:
“After logging out, I’m going to have people camp outside the God’s Love Guild HQ. When that idiot cos out, I’ll smash a bottle over his dumb head!”
Then, Wei Yin looked at Doghead Gold and Unforgettable with suspicion and said coldly:
“If you’re really going to do that, just leave already, don’t play in our squad anymore.”
Doghead Gold and Unforgettable exchanged glances but then started to laugh.
He looked at the serious expressions of everyone but shook his head.
“We’ve actually already quit the guild. Although we lost a lot of money, we still don’t want to lose friends like you… Plus, playing in the Circus for so long, we’ve really grown attached.”
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then they all began to smile.
The remaining mbers all expressed their stance.
There was no need to ntion Wei Yin; she supported Jack unwaveringly, and independent players like Pumpkin, Polaris, and Su Keying, who had no psychological burden, all firmly stood in Jack’s faction.
“Since no one in our squad is missing, let’s go all out in version 3.0!”
Wei Yin stretched out her little fist, her face red, shouting.
“Alright!”
Dongyang smiled, and the others extended their hands, stacking them on top of each other.
“Although this main quest is a hellish difficulty for us, from another perspective, isn’t it also a once-in-a-lifeti experience? Fighting against the whole world with Jack; just thinking about it feels so romantic!”
Wei Yin said with a giggle.
Polaris finally placed his hand on top of his friends’ hands.
He looked up, and everyone looked over.
“I said version 3.0 would be difficult, much harder than previous versions… But I firmly believe we will shine brightly in this version.”
Polaris smiled.
“We believe in your intuition this ti, great Diviner!”
Su Keying chuckled, then said quietly:
“After all, who else but us would be ‘foolish’ enough to take on the whole world…”
