Chapter 731: A Huge Stir, 23 Billion in Prize Money, Greenfield's Fury

Yu Yuan's doubts were resolved.

His previously uneasy mood instantly became light and carefree.

"Hahaha! Tsk tsk, this psychic ability... the timing of this theft is... not bad at all!"

Yu Yuan cast a satisfied gaze toward the Snake of Rebirth's transcendent talent - Spatial Perception.

As the name suggested, this talent granted the Snake of Rebirth an unparalleled ability to perceive space, allowing it to detect hidden spatial rifts and fluctuations.

It also reduced spatial compression when performing spatial traversal.

Yu Yuan was quite pleased with this as well.

He then examined the two segments of memory obtained from the Snake of Rebirth.

The first segment appeared to be from the Snake of Rebirth's escape in the New World, yet unexpectedly, Yu Yuan saw the Blood Duke.

This was a very ancient memory, and the Blood Duke's appearance was vastly different from now.

But he could still recognize him.

The Snake of Rebirth concealed its tracks in this manner, following behind the Blood Duke, seemingly harboring some intention.

The two flew intermittently, taking a winding and circuitous route for a long time.

They arrived before a cave entrance. The Blood Duke looked around left and right, then slipped into the cave and disappeared from sight.

The Snake of Rebirth sensed spatial fluctuations emanating from within the cave and discovered that this was actually a spatial passage leading to another world.

Its heart was filled with elation.

The first memory segment ended.

Yu Yuan recognized this cave as the one the Snake of Rebirth had fled into when it was being hunted down.

So that was where it had found the passage to the Civilization Ladder.

What a stroke of luck.

And the location where the Snake of Rebirth had first seen the Blood Duke.

Yu Yuan also recognized it as the area he had seen in the Blood Duke's memory last time.

He remembered the several landmark buildings in the surroundings very clearly.

There were great secrets hidden there.

Of that, there was no doubt.

The second memory segment was the scene of the battle between the Snake of Rebirth and the Blood Duke.

Looking at the Blood Duke, who had transformed into the Grim Reaper at a hundred meters tall, along with 23 integrated combat Mechanized Titans.

Yu Yuan finally understood the truth behind the Snake of Rebirth's fall.

"I never thought Mechanist Supremacy would actually send their Mechanized Titans."

When Yu Yuan had previously performed Faith Plunder, he had disguised himself as the Snake of Rebirth and claimed that the Blood Duke and Mechanist Supremacy were colluding, but that was only meant to muddy the waters.

Now that he had seen the true circumstances of the Snake of Rebirth's fall, the probability of dragging Mechanist Supremacy into this had greatly increased.

Finishing his review of the memories, Yu Yuan pondered for a moment.

He then opened the Snake of Rebirth's Faith Channel once again.

He initiated a one-on-one communication with a Bronze-tier believer of the most devout faith.

After he finished everything, the matters concerning the Snake of Rebirth finally came to a temporary close.

"Next, let the bullet fly for a while longer." Yu Yuan muttered to himself as he watched the Faith Channel slowly dissipate.

Beep beep beep -

On the Virtual Light Screen, dozens of messages from Greenfield flashed continuously.

Opening the chat window, they were all filled with Greenfield's shocked, incredulous exclamations.

But to summarize in one sentence, there was only one core point.

- Unbelievable, the Snake of Rebirth actually died!

The joy in her tone was utterly undisguised.

Greenfield wasn't the only one in shock.

The entire Civilization Ladder was thrown into epic-level turmoil.

Yu Yuan briefly replied to Greenfield, then opened the Civilization Ladder Chat Channel.

At the pinned position of the chat window.

A message with a gold background and red text hung there, causing everyone who saw it to feel a tightening in their hearts.

- [Elimination Notification: Transcendent·Snake of Rebirth was eliminated by Transcendent·Blood Duke, Time: 07:53]

The message was extremely brief, yet sufficient to drive everyone crazy.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but praise and flattery for the Blood Duke, along with complaints and curses directed at the Snake of Rebirth.

Yu Yuan, as a participant in this feast, a schemer, and a beneficiary of the profits.

Quietly scrolled through these players' posts, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

This was the Civilization Ladder.

This was a world where the victor reigned supreme.

Singing praises for the winner, spitting on the loser.

Even if the Snake of Rebirth was an existence above Gold, so what?

The moment it fell in death, it became nothing more than talking points among the players it had regarded as ants.

Of course, Yu Yuan believed that among the many players spurning the Snake of Rebirth.

A large portion were players who had previously favored it and wagered on its victory in the Civilization War.

Some went mad, while others rejoiced.

The world was always fair.

[Ding, congratulations Player ID: Yu Yuan Shelter, your previously placed contract wager has succeeded. 23 billion survival points have been remitted. Contract complete!]

Yu Yuan looked at the total balance on his account reaching 28.9 billion and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

He had previously wagered on the Blood Duke's victory in the Commerce God Alliance's betting pool, with a stake of 10 billion survival points at odds of 2.3.

Now he had received a total of 23 billion, and after deducting the 10 billion principal, he had netted 13 billion in profit.

This wasn't just exorbitant profit - even robbery wasn't this fast!

But before he could celebrate.

A sudden notification message turned his smile into a cold sneer.

- [Player ID: 'Qiming Mobile City' has used a Civilization War Token and will launch a Civilization War against you in one hour. Please prepare for battle]

"They sure picked their moment!"

He had finished his Civilization War so long ago, and no one had challenged him.

He had just received the 23 billion survival points from the Commerce God Alliance.

Not even ten seconds later, someone launched a Civilization War against him.

To call that a coincidence would be an insult to one's intelligence.

"Commerce God Alliance... are you so certain he can take me down?"

He opened the Bronze Leaderboard and searched for Qiming Mobile City.

The moment the ranking appeared, the cold sneer on Yu Yuan's face turned into a cold snort.

- Bronze Leaderboard Rank 2: Qiming Mobile City

"They really think highly of me!"

Yu Yuan sent a message to Greenfield.

Aboard the Greenfield Cruise Ship.

Greenfield was absolutely delighted.

She had won her bet on the Snake of Rebirth versus the Blood Duke.

With odds of 1.8, she had wagered 200 million and ultimately received 360 million, netting a profit of 160 million.

This was the most she had earned in a single bet during this period.

"Money money... so much money..."

But there was still a hint of regret in her heart.

"Ah... what a shame! The Blood Duke's odds were originally 2.3, but just because I made a prediction, the odds dropped from 2.3 to 1.8."

Greenfield sat in her chair, swinging her two long, jade-white legs, pursing her lips in thought:

"It must have been a Gold-tier player who placed the bet! I wonder how much they wagered to drive the odds down that much."

But soon, her regret was replaced by relief.

"But thank goodness that person placed their bet before I did. Even with my improved prophecy art, I could only calculate that the Blood Duke wasn't as simple as he appeared on the surface. But on the surface, the Snake of Rebirth still had the higher win rate.

If it weren't for that person, I might have actually wagered on the Snake of Rebirth!"

Greenfield didn't know why, but her thoughts drifted to Yu Yuan.

A smirk curled at the corner of her lips as she said smugly, "Heh, Black-hearted Fish, your old lady here just made 160 million. I'll bet that makes you green with envy!"

"Mm~ forget it, forget it! I won't provoke him. He's my most important future lifeline. I can't afford to offend him."

"But he really lives up to his title as the one who reshuffles the deck! In such a short time, he's turned the entire Civilization Ladder upside down..."

Thinking of this, Greenfield suddenly realized something.

Her greatest and most successful investment.

Wasn't this 160 million at all - it was Yu Yuan Shelter.

Staring at that name in the Covenant column on her Virtual Light Screen.

She couldn't help but giggle foolishly, drool unconsciously trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Hehe, this is an absolute big shot of the future. I've hit the jackpot!"

Just then, the avatar for Yu Yuan Shelter began to bounce.

Greenfield sat up with a start and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

"Damn it! Sending a message at a time like this."

But when she saw the message that had been sent, the smile on her face immediately vanished, and a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.

"Qiming Mobile City? Damn it, why would this bastard set his sights on Yu Yuan?"

"Hmph, daring to mess with my lifeline, you're asking for death... Watch me prophesy your doom..."

At the same time, she opened her friend list and clicked on an avatar.

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: Boss, someone's coming after Yu Yuan. Qiming Mobile City, ranked second on the Bronze leaderboard.]

A few seconds later, a reply appeared in the chat window, concise and efficient.

[Star Disciple: Okay]
