Chapter 921: Chapter 601: Prophecy Fulfilled
Reality.
Azure Federation, Splendid City.
Under the night sky, a dazzling array of colorful lights shone, with various avant-garde and fashionable won in holographic projections posing, promoting the latest products of major consortiums.
In the city center, the skyscrapers of the Flash Eagle Consortium stood tall.
On the outside walls of the building, large projection screens made from semi-transparent glass were playing the new CG of 3.0 version in “Era of Mystery.”
In mid-air above the sky, a holographic image was projected by a high-precision emitter from the rooftop, showcasing the pre-war mobilization scene of Hall of Valor Guild’s elite players in the ga.
It seed like they were already sharpening their knives, preparing to advance towards the ultimate boss, King in Azure Jack Spett…
At this mont, at the headquarters’ gate, the fully automated iron railing slowly opened with the unlocking of the chanical Sentinel.
A golden hover convertible drove out, Dongyang tiredly lit a cigarette, choosing autopilot.
Beep beep…
At this mont, the personal terminal on Dongyang’s right arm emitted a notification sound.
He glanced over— it was a call from his wife, his expression turning helpless.
Upon choosing to answer, Dongyang leaned back in the leather seat with the cigarette in his mouth.
“Yang Dongcheng! It’s so late, and you’re not ho yet. Are you at the bar with machine girls again?!”
On the projection screen, a beautiful young woman appeared, yelling furiously.
Dongyang’s mouth twitched.
“The version update these days, have to work overti at the company…”
He said helplessly.
“Do you even see what ti it is? Co back to work overti, hand over your salary, then you can work overti!”
The woman’s voice continued to shout.
“Ahem, the wind is too strong, can’t hear clearly. Okay, we’ll talk when I get back…”
Dongyang coughed from the smoke and quickly spoke.
Taking advantage of his wife’s montary glare, he quick reflexes shut off the call.
“Whew…”
He let out a long breath.
However, just as he raised his eyes, on the road, a red hover car sped towards him!
Through the colored glass windows, he faintly saw a young man with a chicken feather hairstyle, high on electronic drugs inside.
Dongyang’s heart raced, his expression changed slightly.
The cars were about to collide!
For so unknown reason, he felt the surroundings slowing down, but his mind was exceptionally clear, and a powerful strength surged in his body, instinctively pulling the ergency control handle, fiercely to the left!
Vroom—
In a split second, the hover convertible brushed past the red hover car changing lanes, just perfectly parked in the ergency stop zone as smoke rose from the cooling device beneath the chassis.
Boom!!
Suddenly, an explosion sounded not far ahead, Dongyang shuddered.
He looked up and saw the red hover car colliding with other vehicles, flas from the explosion accompanied by flying tal fragnts.
Dongyang was drenched in sweat, panting heavily, pale-faced.
“Almost got killed by those electronic drug idiots!”
His accidental glance spotted the cigarette butt between his fingers, with a long ash hanging without falling…
“Hiss… What exactly is going on?!”
Dongyang took the last puff of his cigarette, trying to recall everything that had happened.
Suddenly, his change felt like his reflex speed had increased several tis, allowing him to escape a disaster, surviving the accident.
Simultaneously, his mind involuntarily recalled what Jack had said to him before logging out—
“Dongyang, when returning ho tonight, beware of red…”
“Red!”
Dongyang’s pupils contracted sharply.

On the other side of the city.
A guest arrived at the upscale apartnt where Polaris lived.
His grandmother was busy with the hospitality.
“Mr. Subei, this is the contract offered by the group; we co with sincerity. You only need to sign it, and ten billion Credit Points will be yours.”
A blond man in a suit and tie said with a smile.
He pushed forward a transparent tablet, displaying a docunt.
Behind him stood two burly n, their gray-black shining hands revealing a tallic gloss.
Polaris recognized it as Freeman’s advanced composite material, one of the toughest tals currently developed by Azure Federation.
He couldn’t help but secretly guess that these two bodyguards probably had more than ten combat chips implanted, making it difficult for even ard divisions to deal with them quickly.
Taking a deep breath, Polaris lowered his head to browse the contract.
Soon, his brows furrowed.
The contract’s general content involved confidentiality agreents, with a central point requiring him to join God’s Love Guild and act as a spy in the ga, continuing to hide as a student beside Jack, constantly relaying information about Him to the guild.
At necessary tis, he would also need to respond to the guild’s command for a backstab.
Clearly, God’s Love Guild already understood Polaris’s value, but after the 3.0 version went online, this value further transford.
After all, Jack only had Polaris as a student player in his midst.
Ten billion Credit Points…
Polaris’s eyes focused.
This was a fortune he couldn’t spend in a lifeti!
Beep beep…
At this mont, a notification ca from the personal terminal.
Polaris raised his hand and glanced at it, his pupils slightly contracting.
Imdiately, he looked up at the blond man who wore a polite smile and said calmly:
“Sorry, I’m not interested in this contract.”
The blond man’s smile stiffened, but he quickly tried to salvage the situation:
“Mr. Subei, if you’re not satisfied with the terms, we can continue to negotiate, we could even increase the offer. After all, you are the number one ranked player, and you have a special identity, we…”
“No need.”
Polaris shook his head.
“It’s not about the money, it’s about principles.”
The blond man wanted to say sothing more, but Polaris raised his hand to stop him and made a gesturing motion to leave.
The two bodyguards behind the man squinted their eyes, planning to make a move, but at that mont, there was a knock on the door.
Polaris’s grandmother went to open the door, and Dongyang, Chenxi, and Su Keying, along with the rest of the squad of high-level players, all walked in.
Wei Yin saw the scene in the living room, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly shouted:
“The three dogs from the Doghead Gold consortium, get out!”
After saying this, a dozen ard, gun-toting guards flooded in from behind the girl in the princess dress, surrounding the blond man and the two big n in Polaris’s grandmother’s astonished expression.
Cold sweat dripped from the blond man’s forehead.
He recognized the girl who spoke as Zheng Ling, the daughter of the third director of the Amnesiac Dancer consortium.
“Sorry, Miss Zheng, we’re leaving now.”
After saying this, he fled in panic with the two bodyguards.
Wei Yin still wanted to jump up and give the man a kick, but was stopped just in ti by Su Keying and Honey Polo. The young lady looked at their backs, still cursing.
Not long after.
Only the mbers of the Polaris Squad remained in the living room.
“…So, everything Jack said to us ca true?!”
Polaris said in shock.
Dongyang and the others nodded solemnly.
“Chenxi had a male subordinate at the company who was interested in her. He took the chance after work to confess to her while delivering flowers. After being rejected, he planned to use force. Fortunately, she was vigilant and had two electric shock chips installed, and she short-circuited the guy on the spot…”
Polaris looked at Chenxi and found her looking unbothered, clearly a woman used to big scenes, and such a small incident was nothing to her.
What Jack had said to Chenxi at the ti was precisely:
Amidst the blossoms, beware of the thorns…
At the sa ti, Polaris recalled just now, the Doug Group sent people to buy him, which perfectly matched his own prophecy—
“In the midst of wealth and steadfastness, you need to make a decision again, and this ti, it will completely change your life, Abei.”
Taking a deep breath, Polaris expressed his disbelief in a low voice:
“Jack’s strength can actually penetrate into reality?!”
“Before we ca, we actually had a hypothesis, that maybe because the ga’s main server supercomputer is connected to the Federation’s network, predicting our actions and encounters through big data…”
Su Keying said in a low voice from the side.
But Polaris dismissed this hypothesis.
He shook his head firmly and said:
“Even big data can’t be this precise!”
Polaris took a deep breath, staring intently at the others.
“And I can tell you all very clearly, I…”
He hesitated for a few seconds, finally taking out a deck of cards, and during his grandmother’s brief absence, tossed them into the air.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, the cards actually hovered in the air for two seconds before falling powerlessly.
“Transcendent powers… brought into reality?!”
Everyone present was stunned.
Dongyang then suddenly realized, the mont he almost got into a car accident might have been because he inherited transcendent powers from the ga, thus avoiding death.
So he quickly recounted his experience again, corroborating Polaris’s case.
“So, is this real?! Will we all have transcendent powers in reality…”
A few people from Doghead Gold raised their voices.
Soon, they were simultaneously stopped by the warning looks from Polaris and Dongyang.
“Shh!”
Dongyang’s expression was grave as he raised a finger to silence them.
“A long ti ago, President Xiaoguang ntioned to indirectly in private that there are transcendents in the Federation’s Ether Division, but I didn’t pay attention at the ti… Now thinking about it, whether it’s official high-ranking politicians or scientists, they are all mbers of the Azure Holy Church. What do you think of that?”
“The church in the ga?!”
Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.
“No wonder…”
Polaris murmured.
“No wonder the Flash Eagle, Doug, and Amnesiac Dancer three major consortia, as well as other consortia, have been making every effort to enter ‘Era of Mystery’… The ga contains transcendent secrets that can be brought into reality, this must be the intention of the Azure Holy Church!”
“We can’t continue talking, let’s stop here for today!”
Dongyang realized sothing and quickly interrupted.
He stood up and spoke seriously and solemnly to everyone present:
“I can responsibly say that the secret involved in this matter is deadly, and no one can leak a single bit of it, nor let others suspect we know… From now on, offline discussions of transcendental matters must be discreet, we cannot let our guard down, otherwise, the Ard Division’s mobile unit, or even senior officials of the Ether Division, will co knocking, and you all know the consequences.”
“We know, we won’t leak a thing!”
Everyone quickly promised.
At this ti, Wei Yin took out several colorful chips the size of fingers, and said mysteriously:
“These are the key cards to my private villa, which can serve as our secret base for future exchanges…”
Everyone looked surprised.
This is the power of a wealthy person?
