The matchmaker, who had been struggling with her dilemma, looked surprised.

She finally understood why she had come here.

After a brief silence,

Xi Yue stood up, walked to him, reached out and gently pressed her hand against his chest.

"I've made up my mind."

There, one end of the red thread was still tied, and the other end was attached to her wrist.

"No matter where you go, I will follow you."

Her voice was very soft, so soft it was as if she were talking to herself.

"This is a red line agreement, and also my own decision."

Xu Ze looked down at the hand pressing against his chest, and at the faintly visible red line.

There were no lengthy words, only brief and powerful responses.

"it is good."

He turned around, pushed open the door, and went out.

Behind her, Xi Yue stood in the living room.

She held the now-cold tea cup, watching Xu Ze's figure disappear through the door.

……

Yuntian Group, headquarters building.

The area in front of the building was already packed with people.

Reporters, along with their photographers, or social media influencers, and a host of gaming enthusiasts...

Densely packed, a sea of ​​black.

The security guards joined hands to form a human wall and tried their best to maintain order, but the crowd kept surging forward.

"Look, Mr. Xu is here!"

Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.

A black sedan slowly came to a stop. Xiao Li got out of the car first, opened the door, and Xu Ze stepped out.

A black suit, a white shirt, a dark blue tie, and hair neatly combed.

His face was calm and composed, showing confidence.

The flashes went off in a flurry, and the sound of camera shutters was like a downpour hitting a tin roof.

Reporters, microphone in hand, pushed their way forward, bombarding the reporters with questions like a machine gun:

"Mr. Xu, may I ask what the content of this press conference is?"

"I heard that 'Xuanling Sect' is going to launch its first team dungeon, and it even has official support?"

"Is it true that this instance is unprecedented in scale and will be participated in by players from all over the world?"

"Mr. Xu, please answer this question..."

Xu Ze did not answer any questions.

He simply walked through the crowd, into the building, into the elevator, and into the press conference venue.

The venue is very large and can accommodate thousands of people.

The hall was packed.

Reporters from major media outlets sat in the front row, people from the gaming industry sat in the middle, and player representatives from all over the country sat in the back.

The aisles on both sides were packed with people, and even the doorway was so crowded that it was impossible to move.

All eyes were fixed on the huge screen on the stage, which displayed the logo of the Xuanling Sect, emitting a faint blue light.

Xu Ze walked onto the stage, stood behind the podium, and glanced at the crowd below.

Some of those faces were familiar, some were unfamiliar, some were expectant, and some were doubtful.

And of course, there's excitement too.

All sorts of expressions and emotions converged in this venue at this moment.

"Thank you all for coming."

Xu Ze spoke, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Today, I have something to announce."

The audience fell silent.

Everyone held their breath.

"With official technical support, the first team dungeon for 'Xuanling Sect' will officially launch tomorrow..."

"what?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur of discussion erupted from the audience.

Shouts of shock and excitement rose and fell.

This news has actually been circulating online for a long time, but it has never been confirmed.

Now that Xu Ze has said it himself, those who were hanging in suspense have finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xu Ze hadn't finished speaking.

"The scale of this copy is unprecedented."

His voice remained calm, yet within that calmness lay a power that made one's heart race.

"It will be a joint effort by all players worldwide to fight against it."

"It doesn't matter which server, which region, or which language."

"Everyone is in the same instance, facing the same enemy."

The murmurs from the audience grew louder.

Gasps of astonishment filled the air, and some people pulled out their phones to frantically type, eager to share the news on social media immediately.

All players worldwide participate?

What is this concept?

The number of registered players worldwide for 'Xuanling Sect' has exceeded 500 million, with over 200 million active players.

What would it be like if everyone were online at the same time and entered the same instance simultaneously?

"The contents of the copy will be kept confidential for now."

Xu Ze continued, "There's only one thing I can tell you."

"This instance will not only determine the future of the 'Mysterious Spirit Sect,' but also—"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the excited or expectant faces below the stage.

"It will also determine the future of all humankind."

The audience suddenly fell silent.

These words sound incredibly exaggerated.

It's so exaggerated it doesn't feel real.

But Xu Ze's words carried an inexplicable weight.

It makes people want to believe.

Everyone present seemed to have a hunch.

This is not hype, nor is it a gimmick.

It's not about what's really about to happen.

"...A game instance, connected to the fate of all humanity?"

"Is this...is this real?"

After a long silence, someone finally spoke in disbelief.

"Could the big one be coming?!"

"Impossible, how could a game be connected to reality?"

Some people held their heads in disbelief.

of course.

The reporters were even more anxious.

"Mr. Xu, what exactly do you mean by that?"

"Since there hasn't been an official announcement yet, can we assume that what you've said has legal effect?"

"Regarding your statement just now..."

Just when the scene was about to descend into chaos.

A figure walked up from below the stage and stood next to Xu Ze.

Yuntian Group, current president.

Su Yunshang.

She was wearing a white business suit, her long hair was tied up, and she had light makeup on her face, making her look capable and elegant.

now.

The icy beauty stood beside Xu Ze, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below the stage, before slowly speaking:

"I, representing Yuntian Group, will devote all my financial and material resources to support Xu Ze and the first team instance of 'Xuanling Sect'."

"what?!"

The audience erupted in uproar.
