The old mechanical race elder, who had raised his hands in a gesture of negotiation, was engulfed in a storm of fireworks before he could take more than a few steps. His fate remained unseen.
Scar Dog watched the scene unfold, clicking his tongue in awe. "I never thought they'd actually believe Brother Jiang's words and come out like this."
"It's perfectly natural," Chen Jiang replied with a nod and a smile. "Remember back on Blue Star, when we went to Qingdao's Second Bathing Beach and you nearly drowned?"
"Neither of us knew how to swim back then. When we fell into the deep end, all we could do was struggle frantically."
"Of course I remember!" Scar Dog clutched his chest, still shaken by the memory. "That incident left me traumatized for life. Right after, Brother Jiang and I hired a local to teach us how to swim."
"Exactly." Chen Jiang leaned on his extended starlight handcannon, gazing at the distant smoke-filled sky. "That day, when we were drowning, we felt despair closing in, leaving us no time to distinguish between what floated on the surface—whether it could save us or not."
"They're instinctively grabbing at anything within reach."
"For the mechanical race of City 18, our declaration of surrender is like a lifeline. We don't know if it's genuine, but we'll seize it and hope for the best."
At that moment—
As fireworks lit up the night sky, Chen Jiang's kill count on the race kill rankings soared:
[Kill Count: 53,429]
[Kill Count: 72,813]
[Kill Count: 93,810]
Until—
The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing the stars once more!
The rapidly climbing kill count gradually slowed, eventually settling on a number that shocked every race on the planet:
[Top Ranking: Human Player Chen Jiang]
[Alien Race Kills: 123,799!]
A staggering 123,799 alien race kills!
That day, every race on the planet etched the name of a single human player into their minds:
A human player who had slaughtered 120,000 aliens in a single day!
Every race wondered if their own people were among the slain, but no one dared to ask, let alone question the carnage.
Especially someone who issues a global pursuit order at the slightest provocation!
No one dared provoke him, except for one human player: Li Xiumei.
In that moment, players of various races stood frozen, their expressions strange. What courage could have driven Li Xiumei to provoke a ruthless figure who had slaughtered 120,000 aliens in a single day?
Could it be that Li Xiumei's strength surpassed his?
Or perhaps, to the human race, even a butcher who had slaughtered 120,000 aliens in a day wasn't considered their strongest warrior?
Suville, an ape-man, stared at the despair-inducing numbers beside Human Player Chen Jiang's name on the race kill rankings. After a long silence, he asked his race chief with a complex expression, "Chief, what should we do if we encounter him one day?"
"Can we... kill him?"
The race chief of a small branch of the ape-man race's third tribe stood beside him, his face shifting between dark and uncertain. After a long silence, he finally sighed deeply. "If we encounter humans in the future, try to avoid conflict. We must not offend Human Player Chen Jiang."
"But if we do encounter him..."
"Then it will be fate."
"But hasn't the human race already abandoned Human Player Chen Jiang?"
"Abandon? Once a race is chosen, it cannot be changed. That human player Li Xiumei has no power to arbitrarily change someone's race faction. Besides, what kind of authority does Li Xiumei have to represent the entire human race? Her name doesn't even appear on the race kill rankings."
"The true representative of the human race should be Human Player Chen Jiang."
"At least, he's the strongest human player we've seen so far!"
Feng Jiutian stood frozen, his face ashen as he stared at the race kill rankings.
Chen Jiang's kill count had already reached nearly 130,000—and it was still climbing!
Meanwhile, Feng Jiutian's kill count remained stuck at just under 100,000, unmoving.
A gap of nearly 40,000 kills—how could he possibly close it?
With less than half an hour remaining until the dungeon's final tally, even if other fate holders like Yan Pomen were willing to lend him their Meat Valley resources, he wouldn't have time to reach them all.
This time, he had lost completely.
A crushing defeat, leaving no room for hope. The human player had shown him, in a manner bordering on annihilation, that no matter how many alien races he slaughtered, Chen Jiang would surpass and crush him.
Feng Jiutian's face paled, his body trembling uncontrollably. His eyes burned red, his lips tinged blue as he stared at the name of Human Player Chen Jiang—a name he could only look up to in awe.
His eyes burned with resentment as he spat out each word:
"How... could... I... lose?!"
"How could I possibly lose?!"
The next moment—
His emotions spiraling out of control, he seized his subordinate's collar, his voice rising to a furious roar: "The mechanical race spent three months preparing for this! We amassed the Meat Valley! How could a newly descended race kill 120,000 aliens in a single day?!"
"How?!"
"I refuse to accept this!"
The subordinate stood silently to the side, eyes downcast, as if observing his own nose and heart.
No amount of Lord Feng Jiutian's refusal would change the outcome.
This defeat had severely undermined the mechanical race's plans. Someone would inevitably be held accountable, and Lord Feng Jiutian's status as a fate holder might not protect him this time.
Meanwhile, on Chen Jiang's side:
Just as his alien kill count surpassed 100,000, a notification chimed in his ear:
[Ding! Congratulations, Player Chen Jiang, for exceeding 100,000 alien kills in a single day!]

Chen Jiang frowned slightly at the mechanical, raspy voice in his ear, instinctively glancing at his personal interface.
