Qin Chuan''s gaze turned icy as his hand shot up in an instant.

    "Cooperation·"

    A majestic rock wall rose from the ground, blocking the trio''s path in a fraction of a second.

    With a violent rumble, the incoming onslaught was easily deflected.

    Dressed in a fitted combat suit, Qin Chuan pulled a heavy shield out of the void and calmly regarded the approaching group of Crystal Clan powerhouses.

    "Eternal Rock Defense."

    It seemed that the Vortex Gate had opened in the territory of the Crystal Clan.

    Fortunately, among the present Crystal Clan, there were no beings of the Mythical Rank...

    Qin Chuan felt a premonition and looked toward the horizon, his brow slightly furrowed.

    An astonishing momentum was rapidly approaching from afar.

    What he had feared was now coming to pass.

    Qin Chuan shook his head slightly and then felt a stirring in his heart.

    A line of text appeared before his eyes.

    [Are you sure you want to select [Gatekeeper]?]

    [Yes] [No]

    Choosing [Yes], Qin Chuan turned to Feng Yin at his side, "Retreat!"

    Feng Yin nodded, and in an instant, a jade token appeared in his hand.

    The moment the jade token was crushed, a streak of silver light enveloped Feng Yin; in the next instant, Feng Yin disappeared from the spot.

    A red item, a random teleportation token.

    A one-time use device, it randomly teleports you to any location in the Heavenly Dome Rank.

    Lin Yue withdrew her raised hand and nodded slightly to Qin Chuan.

    With the help of the second Talent of Prayer, Feng Yin would be transported to a relatively safe location.

    "Boom, boom, boom—"

    A Mythical Rank being from the Dead Ghost Clan descended in an instant, looking at the pitch-black barrier of the Vortex Gate emerging behind Qin Chuan and Lin Yue, his corpse-like pallor suddenly turning gloomy.

    "You react fast enough."

    His gaze sharply turned toward the surrounding Crystal Clan, his terrifying presence growing more dangerous, "The Human Race individual who just teleported must be the Gatekeeper, and you just watched him leave?!"

    "Artemis, this is the territory of the Crystal Clan." The leading Legend Rank of the Crystal Clan spoke solemnly, showing no deference to the Dead Ghost powerhouse, "Our clan''s actions are not up for you to interfere."

    Artemis''s eyes blazed with fierce light, just as he was about to make a move, a voice floated over from a distance.

    "Artemis, what do you intend to do to my clan?" Sёarch* The N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    A woman in splendid robes, with features of incomparable delicacy, stood in the void, holding high a magic wand embedded with exquisite Crystal Cores, surrounded by an aura that was of the Mythical Rank as well.

    The Crystal Clan''s Mythical Rank powerhouse had arrived.

    "Theresa..."

    Artemis''s eyes turned dark, evidently having a less-than-harmonious relationship with the Crystal Clan powerhouse before him.

    The two had barely appeared when there was already a sense of bowstrings drawn taut between them, and at this moment a voice echoed languidly.

    "Maybe...the two of you should fight first?"

    "Don''t even think about it!" Theresa immediately turned her gaze to Qin Chuan and Lin Yue, her eyes carrying a chill, "Human Race, it''s time to settle the score for the six Mythical Rank of my clan that you killed."

    "And nine of my clan''s Mythical Rank." Artemis''s voice had a dark and sinister tone, "You had the home field advantage before, we were no match, but now..."

    "Welcome to, Heavenly Dome Rank!"

    As soon as his words fell, the two Mythical Rank beings simultaneously launched an attack on Qin Chuan and Lin Yue.

    Watching the figures that approached quickly in his sight, Qin Chuan sighed lightly.

    "Why bother?"

    [00:24:43]

    The two figures and the terrifying momentum sweeping in from the void came to a standstill in an instant.

    Looking at the frozen Mythical Rank beings in the void, Qin Chuan''s expression was anything but calm.

    Just entering the Heavenly Dome Rank, they had already been attacked by other Clans; this tangled web of thoughts was temporarily interrupted, but he hadn''t forgotten the last text that had appeared in the chaos.

    Manager core permissions: back-end login.

    No turn of events could match the vast amount of information contained in this sentence.

    Unexpectedly, he was once again seeing the word "Manager" in such a manner.

    If there was any power on his person that went beyond what was normal for a Player, it was undoubtedly the Time Stop ability that had been present since his arrival from the Dream World.

    Qin Chuan had never been clear about the origin of Time Stop.

    Until this moment.

    Piecing together the Immortal Clan''s actions before their annihilation, led by the Reincarnation Immortal Monarch and centered on the head of a Manager as a core, the entire sacrifice constructed the Reincarnation, he had already faintly guessed the essence of Time Stop.

    It was one of the Manager''s permissions.

    And it was probably the most important one.

    Back-end login, huh...

    Qin Chuan approached Artemis and placed his hand on the other''s body.

    The corpse-like, eerie body of Artemis became a torrent of data in Qin Chuan''s eyes, turning into algorithms composed of numerous mysterious symbols.

    With just a minor alteration here or there, he could fundamentally alter Artemis''s strength, enhance it, diminish it or even change the nature of his power system, all in a mere thought.

    But...

    When Qin Chuan really wanted to try, a line of prompt text popped up in front of him.

    [It appears you do not have back-end editing permissions and are unable to edit]

    Qin Chuan withdrew his hand in disappointment.

    Clearly, his permissions were incomplete, and he could only log in.

    The so-called Time Stop was the state of the back-end.

    And the Time Stop time was the duration of his back-end login.

    "If it can''t be adjusted, just kill it."

    Qin Chuan pulled the Frost Blade out of the void, its chill instantly filling the entire back-end space.

    [00:24:40]

    Everything returned to its original state.

    The two Mythical Rank beings suddenly stiffened, their faces showing disbelief.

    Theresa''s delicate body, like shattered porcelain, crumbled into countless pieces and suddenly blew apart revealing one of the exquisite Crystal Cores inside. Artemis let out a startled howl as a lump of black fire filled with the intent of death burst from his body, swallowing him whole.

    In an instant, two Mythical Rank beings were slain on the spot.

    Qin Chuan looked at the astounded and bewildered Crystal Clan people and smiled wryly.
