[Ding!]

[All Defense Towers detected to be inlaid with Level 9 Ultimate Gemstones!]

[Awarding Ultimate Trait—Gem Star Array!]

[Level 9 Gemstones can transform into stars to form the Array of Celestial Stars...]

.

"What the hell!? They’re even bringing Primordial Chaos into this? The Array of Celestial Stars?!" Shen Fei’s face was a mask of astonishment as he looked at the reward for maxing out his Level 9 Gemstones.

He knew that due to the brainless development of its pay-to-win elements, the game Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms had already become a total mishmash. But Shen Fei never expected that the final reward for maxing out his Gemstones would be *this* much of a mishmash. It was so out of place!

"But! I love it!"

He didn’t care if it was out of place or not; as long as it was something good, Shen Fei was a fan.

The final max-level reward, once activated, could transform his more than six hundred Gemstones into stars. These would then link together to form a special, sky-spanning Star Array. Shen Fei was beyond satisfied!

Putting aside how much his Combat Power would increase, the functions of the Star Array alone were just insanely powerful.

The Star Array not only provided all his Defense Towers with a massive extra boost to their Defense Power, but more importantly, it could consolidate the attacks of all his Defense Towers into a single, powerful attack called the "Light of Chaos." Over six hundred Defense Towers could, under the effect of the Star Array, unleash a single, unified ultimate strike!

Looking at the description of the "Light of Chaos" effect, which could integrate the attacks of all his Defense Towers, Shen Fei had only one word for it—Badass!

The only downside was that he couldn’t test his Star Array within the Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms game. This was because his account was just too powerful; there was nothing strong enough to test it on.

Even the final boss on the 99th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower could be insta-killed by just activating three hundred of his Defense Towers. He had no need for the "Light of Chaos" at all.

With all the Krypton Gold options maxed out, Shen Fei was already Invincible in Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms! This final super ability—the "Chaos Strike." He had no opportunity to use it!

WHOOSH—

The instant all his Gemstones reached their max level, Shen Fei’s total Combat Power also rose to five hundred million.

In the final hour before the game descended upon reality, his last Krypton Gold item was finally complete! The Gemstones alone had cost 1.2 billion in Krypton Gold! He had actually managed to complete this one item just one hour before the game’s descent.

Shen Fei had never imagined this would happen. Not only had he succeeded, but the reward for maxing out the final Krypton Gold item also left him incredibly satisfied.

Good!

Very good!

At this point, having spent nearly 2 billion, he had upgraded every single upgradeable aspect of Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms! His account, "Skyrocketing," could now be considered a truly and completely maxed-out account.

"Phew..."

Letting out a long breath, Shen Fei stretched, completely content.

Throughout the past dozen or so hours of the day, nothing unusual had happened. The game shutting down, his account being banned, a corruption investigation—none of it had come to pass. He had made it through the entire day smoothly.

He glanced at the time: 11:35 PM. Shen Fei confidently rested his hands behind his head.

Compared to his tension and worry from the previous night, he wasn’t worried at all right now. All he felt was certainty and confidence.

Shen Fei saw that on the Forum, all sorts of posts were rapidly flooding the screen. In his "Heaven-Reaching Gang Fan Group," hundreds of messages were appearing every second.

The time to verify the "April Fool’s Voice" was almost here. Many people were still awake, especially those who had been awake the previous night, made their choice, and were now awaiting the game’s descent. Everyone was waiting for the final moment to arrive.

In the Shen Family home, Father Shen, Mrs. Shen, and Shen Yue were also, for once, all awake. Everyone was waiting.

"Bro!!"

"Bro!!!!"

"I can’t reach him! The plane should have taken off, but it hasn’t landed yet!!"

Shen Fei’s phone suddenly rang. It was Sun Yu.

Sun Yu’s father, Uncle Sun, was originally supposed to be on an afternoon flight, but his flight was delayed due to a sudden military deployment that caused the airport to be temporarily restricted. He didn’t board until 10:00 PM.

He had already told Sun Yu to come over to his house as soon as he got in touch with Uncle Sun. Shen Fei hadn’t expected that he still wouldn’t make it in time...

"It’s okay! Keep trying to contact him! I’m here!"

With things not going as planned for Uncle Sun, a sliver of worry appeared in Shen Fei’s heart. If someone inherited their game abilities while on a moving vehicle like a plane, car, or high-speed train, the danger would increase countless times over...

However, all he could do verbally was comfort Sun Yu.

"Bro, I heard someone chose an account from a Cultivation Game that was at the Immortal Emperor realm! I heard he even spent over 50 million on it! If he inherits those abilities, is he going to blow up the Earth?!"

Unable to contact his father, an anxious Sun Yu couldn’t help but ask. He had spent the entire day helping Shen Fei sell items and acquire Gemstones. He felt like his big brother Shen Fei knew something but wouldn’t tell him directly, so now, feeling nervous, he finally blurted out his question.

"No, there should be an adaptation period!" The game’s descent was about to begin, so Shen Fei decided not to be completely secretive anymore. He began to reassure the anxious Sun Yu. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Sun Yu asked curiously, "An adaptation period?"

Shen Fei nodded. "Right. The inheritance of game abilities should be phased. Otherwise, if everyone inherited everything all at once, their powers would go out of control..."

Sun Yu said, exasperated, "No way!! I don’t want an adaptation period! I want to just take off! I don’t need to adapt!"

Shen Fei chuckled. "It’s not for you to adapt! It’s for the Earth to adapt!"

Sun Yu repeated, "For the Earth?"
