Lan He was so depressed he wanted to die. Never would he have thought that a great god like him would actually speak like a third-rate player and make empty boasts. As a result, they were scared out of their wits, frightened into action by a casual, throwaway line. Since the great god didn’t mean anything by it, then the alliance with the four great guilds and urging Samsara was all just them overthinking. So why was Samsara making moves? Lan He was, after all, experienced in these kinds of struggles. After a bit of thought, he understood.

This made him even more ashamed. There was nothing to begin with, but he took the great god’s words seriously and nervously notified the guild leader, never expecting such a big misunderstanding to arise. How was he going to explain this to Chun Yi Lao?

Helpless, he had to say what needed to be said. Lan He could only bite the bullet and explain everything to Chun Yi Lao.

Chun Yi Lao was also depressed when he heard this, but he didn't blame Lan He. Putting himself in Lan He's shoes, if he were on the receiving end of the great god throwing down a line like that, he would probably be just as nervous and take it just as seriously. Now that it was clear it was a misunderstanding, it seemed that Samsara was reacting passively, responding to their actions. They should quickly disband their forces to prevent Samsara from taking the initiative. Having just won the championship, those Samsara guys were probably still hyped up. Who knew what they might do?

The thought of disbanding gave Chun Yi Lao another headache. They had hastily called all the guild members together, only to disband without doing anything. Were they playing games like the ancient emperors who deceived their lords with signals of war? Chun Yi Lao racked his brains but couldn't come up with a plausible explanation. In the end, he could only chalk it up to a misunderstanding and dismiss everyone.

Samsara had already gotten the wrong idea. Afraid that disbanding their forces wouldn't be enough to reassure them, Chun Yi Lao specifically sent a message to Samsara's guild leader, San Dao Liu Jie: "Misunderstanding, don't mess around."

San Dao Liu Jie was just about to deliver an important speech to the gathered guild players when he suddenly received a message from Chun Yi Lao. He was stunned. Chun Yi Lao was annoying, always writing the simplest messages possible. It was harder for him to explain something clearly in a message than it was to die. San Dao Liu Jie simply didn't ask him and instead went to Blue Brook Guild's Bi Yanfei. As a core member of the guild and one of the five great experts, San Dao Liu Jie assumed that Bi Yanfei would know anything that Chun Yi Lao knew.

Bi Yanfei was already aware of what happened, but this was embarrassing! They had made a big fuss over a casual line from the great god. Was there anything glorious about that? Of course not. So, Bi Yanfei refused to reveal the truth, only saying that there had been a misunderstanding with someone else. They weren't trying to deal with Samsara. If Samsara was worried about them, they should just disband!

He refused to say anything more.

Of course, San Dao Liu Jie didn't want to start a war with Blue Brook Guild. Their guild was a bit weaker than Blue Brook Guild! However, Blue Brook Guild's vague explanation made him afraid to let his guard down. So, he canceled the mobilization speech, but the teams remained assembled, just in case…

As a result, because they didn't disband, Blue Brook Guild became nervous again. Their people had already disbanded! If Samsara didn't disband, were they planning to take advantage of the situation? So, the people from Blue Brook Guild continued to question Samsara.

The two great guilds were bickering back and forth, all because of a casual remark made by Ye Xiu. However, he wasn't aware of any of this. He was just waiting for the elites to fight so he could pick up equipment. When he didn't see any action, he became impatient and repeatedly sent messages to Lanqiao Chunxue, asking "Are you going to fight?" and "Are you going to fight?" Lan He wasn't in the mood to deal with him and simply pretended to be dead, ignoring him.

The two great guilds were bickering, and not only did the elites not fight, but even bullying ordinary players felt half-hearted. Moreover, on Samsara's side, there were over ten guild fixed teams gathered. How could ordinary players be so blind as to provoke such a massive army? What was originally a lively place for scavenging had now become a place everyone avoided.

"What the hell is going on?" Wei Chen was also confused. As a团长, he had no idea what the higher-ups were deciding, which made him very awkward.

Ye Xiu was also helpless. As he passed a cigarette to Wei Chen, he suddenly caught a glimpse on his screen. A figure flashed through his warlock's field of vision.

"Hey, hey, hey!! Turn the view to the left!" Ye Xiu quickly shouted.

"What?" Wei Chen, who had just taken the cigarette and was about to light it, heard Ye Xiu's shout. He quickly put the cigarette in his mouth, grabbed the mouse, and turned the view.

Ye Xiu stared at his screen and immediately noticed.

"That kid, keep an eye on him for me!" Ye Xiu pointed.

Assassin Mobai.

Deception knew that Ye Xiu was squatting near the Blue Brook Guild elite team to scavenge, so he didn't dare to come over. Currently, there were two great scavenging spots, one near the Blue Brook Guild elite team and the other near the Samsara elite team. Since he couldn't go there, Deception ended up running to the Samsara side.

As a result of the extra commotion, there wasn't much to scavenge here for the time being. Deception patiently waited for an opportunity. Seeing so many people gathered in Samsara, he knew that something big was bound to happen. The bigger the event, the more opportunities for scavengers. How could Deception bear to leave? As he wandered around, he was spotted by Ye Xiu on Wei Chen's screen.

"Who's that?" Wei Chen asked.

"That's Deception's alt." Ye Xiu said. He had told Wei Chen about this person who he was trying to recruit into the guild.

"Oh, oh, that guy. Perfect, I'll see how strong he is." Wei Chen said.

A few minutes later, Wei Chen sighed: "Damn, he's actually pretty good. He almost got away."

Ye Xiu looked at Mobai's corpse on Wei Chen's screen, as well as the passing Samsara elite team players, and couldn't help but sigh: "You're really an animal. Was that necessary, so many people…"

"As a 团长, why wouldn't I use my team and instead go for a 1v1? That doesn't follow the objective laws of online gaming!" Wei Chen said righteously. He claimed he wanted to see how strong Deception was, but he didn't even let his warlock go up directly. Instead, he led his elite second team directly.

It was still a ratio of one hundred to one, but this time it was different from when Tang Rou and Steamed Bun faced them. Tang Rou and Steamed Bun charged straight into battle, but this time, Deception realized something was wrong and immediately prepared to run. However, Wei Chen commanded his team and still managed to kill him without a doubt. But it also showed that Deception was indeed not simple.

"This person is worth recruiting. Grind him down. I'll keep an eye out on my end too." Wei Chen said. Ye Xiu had talked to him about Deception's situation. Such an oddball who wasn't interested in the pro scene was indeed difficult to recruit. It was like a soccer club running up to an NBA player and saying "Come on, join us and win the European Champions League." It sounded ridiculous, didn't it? In addition, they didn't have a deep understanding of Deception, and he wasn't willing to communicate with anyone. Only violent, brutal methods like fighting worked on him.

"This guy might have other alts. Keep an eye out." Ye Xiu said.

"Yeah, with that kind of skill, a disguise can't hide it." Wei Chen nodded.

So Ye Xiu brought Tang Rou and Steamed Bun and went to the Blue Brook Guild side again. Wei Chen sat in charge of Samsara's side. If Deception wanted to continue scavenging, he would have to give up these two most profitable spots.

"We're here to scavenge again. Don't mess around!" Ye Xiu brought Tang Rou and Steamed Bun back to the vicinity of the Blue Brook Guild elite team, but this time he messaged Lan He in advance.

Chun Yi Lao's hands trembled with anger after receiving the message. Scavengers were unsavory characters that he usually didn't bother with, and would kill on sight if he had the chance. But now they were openly announcing their presence…

He endured it… Chun Yi Lao still endured in the end. Although it was a misunderstanding before, he was aware of the great god's current influence, as well as the loophole that allowed him to join forces with Samsara, so he shouldn't push him too hard. However, it was too embarrassing to let people rummage through their piles of equipment, so Chun Yi Lao gave instructions to pick up as much loot as possible during the battle. He didn't want Ye Xiu and the others to scavenge too triumphantly.

A dazed day passed just like that. In the end, Samsara and Blue Rain didn't start a conflict. A misunderstanding was just a misunderstanding. As long as no one had bad intentions or tried to take advantage of it, it was easy to clear up. Blue Brook Guild never gathered their forces again, nor did they launch any attacks. In the end, Samsara disbanded their large army, and the fixed teams continued to spread throughout the Heavenly Domain, swaggering around and bullying each other's players.

Ye Xiu and his two teammates scavenged all day, and the people from Blue Brook Guild saw it all, pretending not to notice. They understood the guild leader's instructions very well, and they desperately picked up equipment, especially when they saw the three of them rushing over. They would immediately sweep the area around their feet, often leaving the three empty-handed, which made the people from Blue Brook Guild secretly delighted.

This day passed, and this week was officially over. With the conclusion of the grand finals, the eighth season of the Glory Professional Alliance also came to an end.

Samsara, as the newly crowned champion, topped the list. Their captain and ace player, Zhou Zekai, won the Most Valuable Player award for the eighth season's regular season, as well as the Most Valuable Player award for the grand finals. He also received awards such as the Team Output Star and the Most Reliable Player in the Arena, which were based on the technical statistics during the regular season.

Other awards were also announced at the same time.

King of One-on-Ones, an award based on the record in the individual competition. The winner was Liu Xiaobie of the Tiny Herb team, with the character Swordsman Flying Sword.

One Hit Kill, an award based on the finishing blow completed during the team competition. The winner was Huang Shaotian of the Blue Rain team, with the character Swordsman Troubling Rain.

Best Sixth Man, players who participated in the team competition as the sixth player for a certain number of matches were eligible to participate in the evaluation. The final winner was Lu Yining of the Misty Rain team, with the character Sharpshooter Playing Possum.

In addition, the Ghost Duo of the Void team, Li Xuan and Wu Yuce, won the Best Partners award. Tang Hao of the Hundred Blossoms team won the Up-and-Coming Award, meaning the most improved player. There was also the Best Newcomer award. This award was given to first-year players who had made official appearances and participated in the competition. The eighth season did not have a standout rookie like Sun Xiang in the previous season, who directly carried the team, so the competition was exceptionally fierce.

Dai Yanqi of the Thunder team, Zhao Yuzhe of the Wind Howl team, and He Weitang of the Royal Wind team were often mentioned. In the end, Zhao Yuzhe of the Wind Howl team won the title of Best Newcomer.

The Wind Howl team ultimately ranked ninth this season, failing to reach the playoffs. The team captain and ace player, Lin Jingyan, was also declining due to age. He was challenged by the rookie Tang Hao during the All-Star Weekend and was defeated, so the title of First Brawler was no longer worthy of the name. Fang Rui, another All-Star level player on the same team, had a fluctuating performance this season, with the All-Star Weekend marking the dividing line for his ups and downs. On the other hand, the rookie Zhao Yuzhe's performance was relatively stable, and he ultimately won the Best Newcomer award.

After the eighth season's major awards were reviewed, it was impossible not to mention the two teams that were punished.

Excellent Era and Mysterious Fantasy, the two teams that ranked last in the regular season, were ultimately relegated.
