What the crowd did not expect was that this battle, which shocked the entire Human Race, actually lasted all night.

The players from these two guilds really had some tenacity, the flame wars in the world channel never ceased, and those nibbling on sunflower seeds just to watch the fun had long since grown numb. Those who were going offline did so, and those who wanted to chat did that, while the slaughter between the two great guilds had become a joke.

As for Su Ran, with the help of this group of people, the demon quest was smoothly completed, and he felt incredibly relieved. Watching both sides not yielding to each other, Su Ran couldn’t help shaking his head.

More than half a million people had died already, and yet they were not willing to stop. It seemed that the feud between the two sides was not something that had developed overnight!

In an attempt to diffuse the deep-rooted hostility between the two sides, Su Ran couldn’t help but shout out in the world channel once more—

"Sons of Dancing Demons, aren’t you going to admit defeat and call me daddy?"

The world channel blew up once again.

The sudden appearance of this sentence was like a stone thrown into a toilet, triggering a splash of public outrage, and the flame war heated up once more, to the point where the other players couldn’t even get a word in. It was said that the nasty fight continued for another day, and as for how many had died, even the system couldn’t keep count anymore.

...

Su Ran, as someone who did good deeds without seeking recognition, crushed a Town Recall Scroll on the spot and returned to his own territory. As for what kind of chaos the world channel devolved into, that was none of his concern.

Amitabha, all is good!

"Strange, why hasn’t the system sent a notification after completing the demon quest?"

Su Ran felt that something was off with the quest this time; usually, there was an immediate system prompt upon completion. Now, on the contrary, the system hadn’t shown any reaction at all.

With the doubt in his heart, Su Ran opened the system prompt, only to discover that the quest had changed at some point. The demon quest had disappeared, replaced by the coordinates for the location of the Dream-seeking Mirror.

"Good, it was just a false alarm, not a fake quest."

Having the coordinates for the Dream-seeking Mirror was enough. If the system didn’t prompt, so be it. He didn’t need that hollow fame!

"Wait, why do these coordinates feel so familiar?"

Surprised, Su Ran realized that he had a sense of déjà vu about the coordinates of the Dream-seeking Mirror. He hurriedly opened the world map, and then it dawned on him—the Dream-seeking Mirror was in the Dark Abyss!

"Haha, what’s there to hesitate about? That’s my clan’s domain!"

To this, Su Ran felt the system was being particularly generous. This was simply a give-away question, not to be taken too lightly!

Driven by his desire for the Dream-seeking Mirror, Su Ran didn’t hesitate a moment longer, and stepped onto the teleportation circle, destination: the Dark Abyss.

"Swish!"

With a flash of light, Su Ran appeared in the dark terrain, and this time he was wise. Before the Undead in the darkness could react, Su Ran quickly stripped himself naked, revealing his bony figure, and reverted to his Undead identity.

This time, Su Ran didn’t undergo Transformation into an elf, but instead lit a torch. Using the faint light, he walked forward.

"Hmm? Why is there a wall here?"

Following the coordinates, Su Ran arrived at a dead end, where a wall blocked the way forward.

But.

The coordinates clearly indicated that the Dream-seeking Mirror was behind this wall.

"Could it be... that there’s more to this wall than meets the eye?"

The more Su Ran thought about it, the more excited he became. One must know that hidden terrain surely wouldn’t contain just a single treasure!

"Haha, this is definitely a New Year’s gift from the system!"

Suppressing his excitement, Su Ran drew a novice hoe from beneath him and got down to his old business, digging through the wall!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Seeing that the system hadn’t displayed the words "cannot be mined," the flame in Su Ran’s eye sockets danced even faster.

Swinging the hoe like a phantom, Su Ran sent soil flying in all directions and, in a short while, had dug out a long corridor.

"Crack."

An unusual sound rang out, startling Su Ran into full alertness—this was definitely the prelude to finding a treasure!

After all this effort, Su Ran hadn’t even found a rock, let alone any ores. The emergence of this unusual sound lifted his hopes as if finding an oasis in the desert, an excitement impossible to understand without experiencing it firsthand!

"Clang—Bang!"

The hoe struck a hard stone, almost shattering Su Ran’s bone claws, but thankfully he reacted quickly. Realizing something was amiss, he withdrew his strength hastily to avoid severe recoil damage.

"Damn, this stone is really hard!"

Not giving up, Su Ran hoed a couple more times, only to find that his level 8 mining skill couldn’t even scratch the stone!

"This must be an artifact!"

Seeing this, Su Ran wasn’t alarmed but thrilled instead. The appearance of the stone signaled that the Dream-Seeking Mirror wasn’t far away.

Since the stone was immovable, Su Ran decided to save the country in a roundabout way and started digging into the soil beside it.

During this time, Su Ran didn’t forget to try bumping the stone with his wide hips, hoping to absorb it into his body to save trouble.

Unfortunately, it was no use.

The stone hadn’t stopped Su Ran from moving forward; through his persistent and tireless effort, he managed to bypass it from the side.

However, Su Ran hadn’t given up on the stone and was determined to see its true form. Setting aside his obsession with the Dream-Seeking Mirror, he began digging with all his might.

An hour passed.

Su Ran finally separated the stone from the wall and discovered that it was diamond-shaped, its surfaces evenly distributed. It seemed as though there was a flame flickering inside, swaying as if it were a sentient being coming to life—truly miraculous. Straining his eyes to see through the stone revealed nothing clear, so he eventually gave up trying to find out more.

"You’ve been unearthed already, why not surrender?"

Stubbornly, Su Ran rammed his wide hips hard against the stone, and a miracle finally occurred. With a "swoosh," the stone rapidly shrank and disappeared into his hips.

"Phew, finally succeeded, I almost missed an artifact!"

Su Ran patted his pelvis satisfiedly and continued digging ahead. As for what the stone was, he could just ask the peddler later; no need to waste brain cells here.

However.

Just as Su Ran was feeling his arms grow numb, he unexpectedly unearthed a hollow space, and through it, a ray of light seeped in, adding a touch of brightness to the dim area.

"It’s a hidden chamber!"

Overjoyed, Su Ran exclaimed. After such a long effort, he had finally made it through!

Players knew that the existence of hidden chambers meant opportunities, meant wealth!

The Dark Abyss had been almost thoroughly searched by players, but none had explored to the extent Su Ran did. This made him feel incredibly fortunate and filled with gratitude towards the heaven demon.

"Now, it’s time to witness a miracle!"

Steadying his spirits, Su Ran, with a heart full of excitement, enlarged the hole a bit more and then dove right in.

But.

Just upon entering the hidden chamber, Su Ran was stunned by the sight before him.
