ROAR!
A thunderous dragon roar echoed through the sky, reverberating over the Death Territory of the World 19.
Wherever it passed, in the wild maps of various countries' territories, any professional who came from nations with less-than-friendly relations with the Dragon Nation would immediately hide upon hearing the dragon's cry.
Because, to see a dragon is to see its master.
On the level of the World 19, the one who possesses such a giant dragon, across the whole world, there is only one.
That is Dragon Nation's Necromancer·Zero.
This morning, led by the Cold Nation, the Seven Nation Allied Forces marched into Dragon Nation territory, only to be tragically counter-killed by Zhang Yue. Once Ning Tiantian posted the recorded video onto the International Web, it rapidly fermented globally.
Zhang Yue, as a newcomer who just broke past Level 100, counter-killing over 400 professional powerhouses from the Seven Great Nations, was nothing short of being deified in one battle.
Ning Tiantian's video caused a huge sensation internationally.
So now, some small nations affiliated with the Seven Nations were all afraid of Zhang Yue's revenge, avoiding him like the plague.
In reality, Zhang Yue had no intention of wasting time on them at all.
While riding the Armageddon Black Dragon on his way to the [Soul Palace], Zhang Yue noticed that the reactions of those small nations' professionals were a bit exaggerated.
Zhang Yue then logged onto the Otherworld International Web to take a look.
The International Web was jointly registered by 233 countries worldwide. Professionals from around the world could post content related to the Otherworld on this website.
This glance truly startled him.
The video Ning Tiantian posted actually ranked third on the daily hot list.
You must know, this is the International Web.
Without quality content, getting into the top ten of the hot list is as hard as climbing to the heavens.
To chase clout, many bloggers use borderline videos to attract traffic, or cosplay characters from the Otherworld, even monsters...
Of course, if there were no profits to be gained, no one would do such things.
Professionals need to register an account on the International Web to post videos.
Once they gain fans and fame, they can start selling goods to make money.
By listing equipment, skill books, treasures, materials, and such on the "Little Yellow Cart," they attract foreign professionals to purchase, thereby earning money from foreigners.
Some professionals, though mediocre in the Otherworld, rely on well-produced, carefully shot videos to attract wave after wave of fans on the International Web, then use their popularity to sell goods, ending up more prosperous and carefree than even those powerful professionals...
Zhang Yue casually clicked into the video Ning Tiantian posted to take a look.
The first half of the video showed Zhang Yue using a single skill to instantly kill hundreds of top-level professionals between levels 400–500 from the Seven Great Nations.
The second half, however, showed the remaining sub-100-level professionals from the Seven Great Nations killing each other in desperation to survive.
The video currently had over 90 billion in heat value, 120 million likes, 20 million comments, and 30 million shares.
Clicking into the comment section, a barrage of comments from professionals around the world came rushing in.
[Isn't the Cold Nation one of the world's three permanent superpowers? How did they get beaten like this?]
[The key is, those killed in the video were all above Level 450, yet the killer is only... Level 101! How did he do that? Don't you all find this suspicious? I suspect this video is edited and synthesized.]
[Replying to the one above — I'm a professional video editor, and based on my years of experience, this video has absolutely no signs of editing. Its authenticity is above 99.9%.]
[So this Beast Tamer guy from Dragon Nation really has this kind of power. Level 100 killing Level 400 professionals? That's way too badass.]
[The Seven Great Nations tried to invade Dragon Nation but were counter-killed and humiliated, hahaha! A real-life epic webnovel moment!]
[Aren't the Seven Nations allies? Yet they had no hesitation killing their own just to survive. Talk about fake friendships!]
[Dragon Nation is rising! This Beast Tamer has just reached Level 100 and already has the power to slay Level 400+ professionals. If he grows more powerful, even Beacon Nation's #1 global status might be shaken!]
[Hurry and cling to Dragon Nation's thigh! Is the blogger Zero himself? Let's follow each other! I'm from Thracian Nation, your Dragon Nation ally!]
Ning Tiantian's account had only been registered for three hours, yet already had 5 million followers.
Just as Zhang Yue was enjoying watching his flashy video and reading the praises from people around the world...
Suddenly, Ning Tiantian sent a private message to Zhang Yue, [Brother Zhang Yue, a lot of people messaged me through the International Web threatening me, telling me to delete the video or they'll come for revenge. What should I do?]
It was easy to guess, the ones threatening her must be from the Seven Nations.
They just didn't want the humiliating video to be known to the world.
[What, they're going to crawl through the internet cable to get revenge on you?], Zhang Yue didn't care at all, [Don't be afraid. Also, manage your International Web account well. Later, when you've gained more followers, use it as the international operation account for the Heavens Hall.]
[Operation account? Operate what?], The completely clueless Ning Tiantian was confused.
At this time, Ouyang Linger, who was with Ning Tiantian, said to her, "Oh my sweet Tiantian, you don't know this? It's just selling products through the Little Yellow Cart. Simply put, using junk that even our Dragon Nation people don't want, selling it overseas, and making money from those foreigners to strengthen our Dragon Nation."
"Oh, I get it now," Ning Tiantian said, "So I need a big fan base, right? I used to love editing and making videos. I'll manage this account well and grow my followers."
Ouyang Linger looked at Ning Tiantian and praised, "Didn't expect it, sweetie. You've got talent!"
"Hehe, compared to Sister Linger, I still have a lot to learn!"
———
On Zhang Yue's side.
Following the mission guide, he rode the dragon and reached his destination in ten minutes.
In the boundless dark wilderness stood a grand palace.
Waves of dark aura swirled around the palace.
This was the [Soul Palace].
Though it's a Level 107 map, it felt like a difficulty above Level 110.
'Hmm, it matches up to that 10,120-point five-digit difficulty hidden quest.'
Zhang Yue raised his Extraordinary Staff and stepped into the Soul Palace.
In the vast great hall, dark auras hovered and lurked in midair.
Those auras seemed like human souls, emitting wailing cries: "Save me! Please save me!"
"I died so miserably~"
According to the settings of the World 19, human souls must be rescued within 72 hours of being absorbed for the best outcome.
These souls had clearly already passed their optimal rescue time.
They were already powerless to return to the heavens.
The mission objective was to kill the Soul Palace's boss, the Soul Emperor.
Zhang Yue tried to avoid those souls and go search for the Soul Emperor.
However, just then, those souls suddenly rushed toward Zhang Yue in a frenzy.
