The Bai Di Crown, woven from silver silkworm silk and inlaid with metal, was cool to the touch, emanating a subtle, almost imperceptible chill.

Upon donning the crown, the wearer would experience a needle-like stinging pain in their eyes. A few seconds later, information about the magical item surfaced:

Name: Bai Di Crown
Type: Headwear
Function: Decapitation
Introduction: This crown is woven from ice silkworm silk, its frame forged from an ancient sword embryo. Nine of the finest swordsmen of the Qin Dynasty nurtured it day and night with their sword intent, taking three years to complete. On the day the crown was finished, the nine swordsmen were decapitated, their souls integrated into the crown to become its spirit. This crown can decapitate without defense or evasion.
Remark 1: It is one of the components of a sacrificial robe.
The remaining three pieces are: boots, belt, and robe. It is said that collecting all four pieces allows communication with Haotian.
Remark 2: The wearer is constantly plagued by the resentment of the nine swordsmen. Only an emperor can suppress it.
Remark 3: The wearer must endure the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing their heart.

"Resentment and pain are insignificant to me," Zhang Yuanqing thought. Which ignorant vengeful spirit would dare provoke a Ninth Day Wandering God? Were they seeking salvation too desperately?

He lowered his head slightly and placed the rule-based item woven from ice silkworm silk. As soon as the Bai Di Crown was on his head, his heart was seized by a sharp pain, like undergoing a root canal without anesthesia, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Simultaneously, nine streams of dense Yin energy burrowed into his sea of consciousness, transforming into nine ragged, fierce ghosts. The ghosts looked up at the tepid sun in the sky above the sea of consciousness, screamed, and dissipated into wisps of green smoke. They were not saved, but they cowered within the Bai Di Crown, never daring to emerge again.

Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath to alleviate the drilling-like pain, and sequentially retrieved the Yin Yang Magic Robe, Hou Tu Boots, and Qing Di Jade Belt. He intended to activate the set effect, attempt to communicate with the Haotian Great Emperor, and meet the entity who had benefited Qin Shi Huang and the Bad Commander.

"Huff~" The Yin Yang Magic Robe split into red and black, the red spreading out behind him, forming a blazing flame cloak, fluttering wildly.

The black adhered to his body, transforming into a black robe embroidered with silver dark bird patterns, understated yet exuding nobility. Around his waist, a gleaming green jade belt radiated a soft warmth, harmonizing the black robe's depth and the flame cloak's dominance.

A pair of exquisite bright yellow silk boots were heavy and imposing. The crown, with its dangling beaded curtains, was the finishing touch, highlighting his imperial status and aura. The Five Elements were complete.

The heavy earth spirit of Hou Tu spread beneath Zhang Yuanqing's feet, covering the entire Mòzōng Mechanical City copy. With a "rumbling" sound, mountains rose, and the Bai Di Crown cast a white pillar of light towards the sky.

The pillar of light shattered into thousands of streams of light, falling to the ground, giving birth to mountains and rocks.

The long robe transformed into a rushing river, hanging on the mountain, forming a waterfall winding across the ground. From the green jade belt, birds and beasts emerged, scattering specks of mottled green light, giving rise to forests, teeming with birds and animals.

The Emperor's Crown ignited the mountains and wilderness, burning the scene of all things flourishing.

In a patch of ashes, tender green seedlings broke through the soil. Between the mountain rocks, clear springs trickled out, and the wheel of life pulsed vigorously.

Zhang Yuanqing stood quietly in place, watching the Five Elements generate and restrain each other, cycling endlessly. After an unknown amount of time, the recurring Five Elements power began to flow back, returning to his body.

Then, a vortex of power appeared in Zhang Yuanqing's chest, swirling, pulling the forces toward its center….

"Boom!" The vortex exploded after absorbing the Five Elements power, spewing out boundless chaos. The chaos fell on the earth, and the earth was assimilated into chaos. The chaos sprayed into the air, and the concept of the sky disappeared, becoming a colorless chaos.

The Mòzōng Mechanical City copy rapidly disintegrated, returning to a pre-creation state in a matter of seconds, becoming a chaotic space without the concept of time and space.

In this chaos, where the front and back could not be seen, a beam of heavenly light descended from infinite heights. Haotian God had arrived.

The Evil Demigod's expression was calm and composed.

Was this the reason they firmly believed the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons would not be defeated? Was this the reason they dared to casually send an Asura in the previous match?

The Devil Seed was the deity of the Poison Master class. His avatar had descended to earth and painstakingly managed things for a century. How could he not leave some trump cards for his class's Demigod?

The Lawful side thought that the Evil faction only had the Asura card, but there was also the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons.

The Fear Heavenly King stroked his silver ear stud and looked at Fu Qingxuan, sighing, "If you had shown up in the previous match, the Lawful side at least would have had a chance to win."

"Fu Qingxuan, you were given a chance, but you were useless."

The Fire God was about to start a life-and-death battle right there, but was held back by the little sapling hugging his leg.

"Observe calmly, observe calmly." Fu Qingxuan's sword intent surged around her, suppressing the distortion of her body with an "iron will." Her thoughts raced through her mind, her mental power operating at its peak, and she said, "Preserve the Void first in the life-and-death battle."

"By giving up the arena match, we will at most lose a formation. The worst outcome is that occupying three and seizing two turns into occupying two and seizing three."

"The Wine God has already fallen. Without a group battle, we still have an advantage." She looked at the Smoker, whose level had clearly exceeded level 11, reaching level 12, and was still constantly strengthening, her tone still calm: "The Smoker is invincible in one-on-one arena battles, but is not invincible in group battles."

Although I secretly drink milk tea and devour chocolate beans, I know that I am a good marshal. The more critical the situation, the more calmly I can make judgments, and I never lack a calm mind, no matter what the situation.

The Sea God, whose temper was no less violent than the Fire Master, frowned and retorted: "The Evil Demigod can borrow power from those 'intruders.' We are in more danger during group battles."

He glanced at the Evil Demigod in mid-air, his meaning very clear. In individual battles, they only had to face one person, but in group battles, everyone on the other side could borrow power.

Fu Qingxuan sneered, "You can have the temper of a Fire Master, but you must use your brain. If the Evil Demigods could collectively borrow power from the invaders, why would they put on an act with us? During the previous battle for the core formation, the Lawful side had already been wiped out. If my observation is correct, the copy's tolerance for super-level power is limited. If they collectively borrow power, the Spirit Realm's countermeasure will be triggered, which might be more beneficial to us."

The Lawful Demigods nodded slightly, acknowledging her analysis. Although they had not used the Myriad Worlds Mall exchange ticket, as Demigod-level powerhouses, they knew very well that administrator privileges were limited.

Now the Smoker's level has exceeded level 12, vaguely approaching the legendary level 13 threshold.

Level 13, in the Demigods' deduction, is the level to obtain full administrator privileges, becoming the sole supreme of a class. Reaching this level would allow them to remove the "Demi" from Demigod….

That is, a God. Therefore, to defeat the Smoker, the Void Demigod must become a full administrator.

But this is impossible. First of all, each class in the Spirit Realm has a portion of the authority, and a Demigod has already occupied a portion of the authority. The Myriad Worlds Mall cannot forcibly take it away.

Secondly, to maintain the operation of the Spirit Realm, in addition to the core causal items, the Demigods' power is also playing a role. That is to say, the Spirit Realm itself occupies a portion of the administrator privileges.

In addition, the Void Demigod can exchange for the power scattered in various places among the classes.

With three level 10-level authority powers, managing is equivalent to three level 10 Demigods. It is impossible to defeat a level 12 peak, or even level 13 Smoker.

At this moment, using points to waive the life-and-death battle is the only choice for the Lawful faction.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Void had not wasted the Demigod items at hand, ending the arena and focusing on the group battle was the only winning prospect at the moment, although the hope of winning was equally small.

"Who are you trying to scare!" The Void Demigod, wearing a silver mask and naked, curled his lips. He looked at the huge, ugly Smoker and turned his head to shout to his companions, "Don't surrender yet. It's time for me to show off."

Without waiting for the Lawful Demigods to respond, he held onto the trunk of the Myriad Treasures Tree and said in a chanting tone, "Great Myriad Worlds Mall, I will trade the Origin of Hurricane to you in exchange for a powerful strike from my class!"

A Spirit Realm prompt came from his ear: Myriad Worlds Mall identification: Origin of Hurricane, one of the secondary administrator privileges, Demi-God stage item, identification complete. [Exchange items: Symbol of Knight's Shield, Paladin's Sword.

Ding, unable to exchange for Paladin Armor, a portion of administrator privileges will be randomly selected for you.

Ding, selection completed, item name: Nüwa's Remains!

You will obtain the power of three major administrator privileges, effective for three minutes, countdown begins.

Two golden lights, exuding an aura of majesty and solemnity, fell and merged into the Void Demigod's body. In his left hand, a brass round shield engraved with wall reliefs was condensed, and in his right hand, a four-foot long brass straight sword was condensed.

Instantly, the Void Demigod's aura soared, entering the Demi-God mid-stage. Then, a phantom female figure descended and attached to his body, his aura soaring again, but not breaking through the level.

"Foolish!" Xia Hou Demigod roared in anger. "Yellow-haired brat, what is the point of showing off your power for a moment? What is the meaning?"

Gathering the Demi-God items of the four major classes, the Void indeed possessed the ability to contend with the Smoker, even if not a match, he still had the Void item and the "Musician" class, but what was the meaning of this?

The ability was for life preservation and endurance. His state had a time limit, and the Smoker's time limit was unknown.

Moreover, the invaders were lurking outside the copy, ready to provide support. The Smoker's duration would definitely be longer than the Void's.

Once the Void's state ended, he would still die, and the Origin of Wind, this authority item, would be wasted.

"Be patient." Fu Qingxuan said lightly: "The Void is extremely cunning. This move must have a purpose. Just wait and see."

The little sapling shook its head; "Yes, yes."

Ling Tuo, on the opposite side of the arena, frowned slightly, not feeling happy because of this, because the Void had made a choice that did not match his expectations.

At this time, the Lawful side surrendering and using points to waive the life-and-death battle was the most reasonable and safest choice. Fighting the Smoker head-on was extremely unwise, and might even cause the Lawful side to lose the opportunity to compete for the core formation.

When a chess player encounters an unexpected chess move, their first reaction is definitely not happiness….

At this time, the heads of the group of beasts on the Smoker's body roared in unison. The harsh and chaotic sound waves shook the entire copy, comparable to that of a small country, with the roars of beasts echoing everywhere.

The bodies of the Lawful and Evil Demigods were distorted again. Even with their levels, they could not control the tendency of distortion. This was because the arena restriction restrained part of the power.

The body of the Chairman, who was facing the Smoker directly, suddenly swelled, and the body began to undergo terrible distortion. Scales and keratin were constantly alternating on his body.

This was a distortion that even Void Stealth could not avoid.

"Stop shouting, stop shouting!" The abdomen of the ugly, distorted monster bulged, as if pregnant!

Then, the skin and flesh broke open, and the naked Chairman emerged. He used the authority of "Nüwa's Remains" to allow the old body to give birth to a new self, thereby getting rid of the distortion effect.

Taking advantage of the fact that the second wave of distortion roars had not yet arrived, the Void Demigod opened the item bar.

"Let you see the true Gods!"

In the astonished gaze of everyone, he grabbed a golden armor. The armor covered the whole body like flowing water, putting it on automatically.

The armor, shield, and straight sword gathered together. In an instant, each burst out with soaring brass light, producing a qualitative change.

In an instant, the entire Spirit Realm copy shook, causing an earthquake.

Since the birth of the Spirit Realm, the first person to piece together complete authority was born. Dense cracks appeared in the restrictions covering the arena. The small land could not withstand the power of the God and cracked and collapsed. The entire copy was shaking, emitting a heavy rumble.

The Demi-Gods of the two major factions were horrified, tacitly moving away from the arena and fleeing into the distance. At this moment, only the thought of running away remained in their hearts, just like humans encountering a tiger.

Encountering a fire, knowing that their insignificant selves can do nothing but run away, including even the Asura!

The Void Demi-God in golden armor, with a small body, but with an aura that suppressed everything.

The eyes on the filthy Smoker's body closed one after another, and the heads of the group of beasts fell silent. The snakes on his head curled up, as if encountering a natural enemy.

The Void Demigod stood with his sword in hand, his voice majestic and without emotion: "I, in the name of the Knight, declare that distortion is not allowed here, petrification is not allowed, and the Smoker is not allowed!"

Rules established!

The Smoker's huge body began to disintegrate, turning into puddles of filthy mud, gushing out from the pores. In the "swish" of mud splashing, it completely melted into a mud pit.

The mud pit then dried up, losing its spirituality!

"Kill them all!" The Void Chairman turned his gaze to the Evil Demi-Gods fleeing into the distance.

The thought had just flashed through his mind when his vision suddenly became blurred, and an eyeball rolled out from the gaps in the mask and fell into the armor. Then, his body melted like a wax figure, his flesh like viscous wax oil.

He was backlashed!

The Demi-God's body drove the power of the God, and not the power of his class. He was backlashed!

Viscous flesh and blood flowed out from the gaps in the armor, and as the flesh and bones melted, the straight sword and shield fell, and the standing golden armor tilted over.
