"The Eastern Nation's treasury has been emptied!"
"Three high-ranking officials of the Eastern Nation died mysteriously overnight!"
"Emperor Inoue Amano is missing!"
In a single night, the entire Eastern Nation fell into chaos.
No one knew what had actually happened.
It was as if overnight their whole country had dropped from the peak straight into the abyss.
Countless citizens throughout the nation were gripped by endless anxiety and fear of the unknown.
["Can someone tell me what happened? Is everything on the news real?"]
["According to the vote by our Eastern Nation's high-level officials, they decided to use all national treasury funds to buy the Resurrection Godstone from the Beacon Nation? What is the meaning of this? Even if we have the Resurrection Godstone, what use is it?"]
["Why did the three officials die mysteriously? And where did the Emperor go? Why is this happening? Did assassins from the Dragon Nation infiltrate our borders?"]
["Now our great Eastern Nation is leaderless, the treasury is empty, and something this huge has happened. What are we supposed to do next?"]
The entire nation had plunged into disorder.
Little did they know that Inoue Amano, carrying the Resurrection Godstone acquired at the cost of personally slaughtering the nation's three top leaders and emptying the treasury, had already arrived in the World 60, the Infinite Abyss.
Yes, the same place where he had last encountered the Demon Emperor.
It was only noon, still half a day before the agreed meeting with the Demon Emperor.
Inoue Amano found a remote spot in the Infinite Abyss and hid himself.
Looking at the Resurrection Godstone in his hand, pulsing faintly like a heart, Inoue Amano's eyes filled with endless hatred and fury.
"Necromancer, just wait. When I succeed, all the losses you caused me and our Eastern Nation, I will make you repay a thousand times, ten thousand times."
"When that time comes, our Eastern Nation will stand at the peak of this world and look down upon all beings."
"And I will be the strongest in this world!"
"All I need is to wait for nightfall…"

Meanwhile—
[Dragon Nation]
The events that happened last night in the Eastern Nation had spread here as well.
At the Heavens Hall Guild headquarters.
The group erupted in joy when they heard the news.
"Hahaha! Justice has been served! That Eastern Nation finally got their retribution."
"They deserved it! They brought this upon themselves!"
Everyone voiced their excitement and delight.
Only Chen Zijin sat silently in a corner.
Ouyang Linger noticed and walked over to her, advising, "Sister Zijin, don't be sad. Good people always have fate on their side."
"If it were anyone else, I might not believe it, but I absolutely believe the President wouldn't die that easily."
Hearing this, Chen Zijin seemed encouraged. She stood up, looked at Ouyang Linger, and said with some renewed spirit, "Really? You think so too? You also believe Zhang Yue isn't dead?"
Ouyang Linger nodded, "Sometimes what you see isn't the truth, and what you hear isn't necessarily false."
"Think back to before. So many things happened. So many times, we thought the President was dead, but in the end he always stood before us, perfectly fine."
"So I came to a conclusion."
Chen Zijin looked at her and asked, "What conclusion?"
Ouyang Linger said seriously, "In this world, all of us are supporting characters. Only the President is the main character."
"A man with the aura of a main character. How could he possibly die? If he died, this world we're in would lose its meaning."
"Damn!", Wu Haotian, who had just rushed back from the Batan Nation, couldn't help praising, "It's a waste you're not writing novels with that imagination. I already have the title for you."
"Call it: Starting With Main Character Aura, I Sweep Across the World!"
Chen Zijin found some confidence again from Ouyang Linger, "Yes. I've always believed Zhang Yue wouldn't die so easily!"
"Maybe the Divine Tomb still hides secrets we don't know!"
As she spoke, Chen Zijin suddenly stood up.
Ouyang Linger was startled, "What are you doing?"
Chen Zijin's eyes were determined, "I'm going into the Divine Tomb!"
"You can't!", Ouyang Linger said, "Never mind whether you can even get in. Even if you could, do you think you can survive such a difficult challenge?"
"If you go in, you're signing your own death!"
But Chen Zijin didn't budge, "I can!"
"If Zhang Yue can do it, then so can I!"
Ignoring Ouyang Linger's attempts to stop her, Chen Zijin immediately opened the Otherworld Teleportation Path and entered the Otherworld.
Seeing her vanish, Wu Haotian scolded Ouyang Linger, "Look what you've done! What did you say to her? You practically talked her into walking to her death. If you'd stayed quiet, maybe she'd still be safe, but after what you said she went straight to die!"
Ouyang Linger glared at him, "Why did you come back? Why didn't you just stay in Thracian? You're so annoying, shut your mouth!"
"You don't know how peaceful my ears were while you were gone!"
"Really?", Wu Haotian mused, "I kept sneezing in Thracian. Heard someone was thinking about me."
"Ugh!", Ouyang Linger looked disgusted, "I've seen narcissistic people before, but never anyone as narcissistic as you."
At that moment, Liyue spoke thoughtfully, "Isn't it possible, just possible…"
"That even without Ouyang saying anything earlier, Chen Zijin had already decided to enter the Divine Tomb?"
"From the moment the President got into trouble, she closed herself off. I've been watching her quietly. She wasn't depressed. She was thinking."
"Maybe she's been trying to figure out how to find the President, and Ouyang's words simply clarified her direction."
Ouyang Linger raised her thumb at Liyue, "No one understands me better than you."
"Let her go. She and the President are exactly the same, two stubborn donkeys…"
"No, not the same," Liyue said, "The President is a stubborn donkey through and through. He's like that toward everyone and everything."
"But Chen Zijin is only stubborn toward the President, especially every time he's in danger. It's particularly obvious."
Everyone sighed, "This is true love."
Ouyang Linger immediately sat back down at her computer and said firmly, "Then I'll create another strategy guide for her!"
"Charge ahead, Sister Zijin. We'll always be your strongest support!"
