F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 389 Identity Exposed! World Engine Activated, Countdown to Harvest Begins

"You are Chen Yifan!"

Chenlong's voice reverberated throughout the bottom of the Star Gate.

The runes around the altar paused for a moment.

The long staff in Shenhou's hand was suspended in mid-air.

The mouse stood ten meters away and slightly raised its eyelids.

The Rabbit's array authority is still fluctuating.

Chen Yifan lowered his head, the dark purple dragon scales in his sleeves making the chains rattle softly.

The fraudster's mask was still stuck on his face.

The star official's face is still there.

The psychic frequency of the star deity is still present.

But Chenlong had already called out his name.

The monkey was the first to speak.

"Chenlong, are you out of your mind?"

"Does everyone look like Chen Yifan?"

The voice of the Rabbit pressed into the formation.

"No one may approach the altar until the identity of the person being escorted has been re-verified."

The rat slowly added a sentence.

"The star official's inner thoughts are in turmoil."

Shenhou immediately retorted with insults.

"Nonsense! Who wouldn't panic when the Chief publicly names a wanted criminal?"

Chen Yifan's lips twitched slightly.

These people work together quite well.

Yanlong's statement, "Deception and pretense cannot be broken," has already handed them the cards.

They don't need to know everything.

All we need to do is wait for Chenlong to flip the table first.

Now, the table has been overturned.

Chen Yifan raised his hand and pressed his fingertips against the edge of the mask.

Bai Zhi's voice boomed from the channel.

"Star Lord, don't move!"

Shenhou also snorted softly.

"Kid, if you pick it now, the show will be over."

Chen Yifan looked up at the dragon in front of the star gate.

"If I were to wear it after performing the opera to this extent, it would seem impolite of me."

next second.

He ripped off the mask of a con artist.

The blood-stained face of the star official began to fade.

My bone structure has changed.

The atmosphere has changed.

The psionic frequency has also changed.

A few breaths later, Chen Yifan's true appearance appeared in the center of the altar.

His face was still bloody, and his chest was marked with deep welts from the chains. The contamination detection film was frantically alarming.

But once the disguise fell away, the fierce energy that had been suppressed for so long was finally revealed.

Shenhou glared at him.

"So you really are Chen Yifan, huh?"

Chen Yifan glanced at him.

"Lord Shenhou, weren't you working together quite smoothly just now?"

Shenhou coughed.

"I call that improvisation."

The rat opened its mouth ten meters away.

"My feelings have changed."

Shenhou turned around and started cursing.

"You've already laid everything out, why are you still reporting it?"

The rat ignored him.

Chenlong stood in the center of the golden causal threads, the dark purple spots on half of his body rising and falling rapidly.

The phantom of the Holy Lord remained motionless behind him.

But Chen Yifan could feel that gaze still fixed on him.

Chenlong raised his hand.

"Taking off the mask is tantamount to admitting it."

Chen Yifan put the fraudster mask into his palm.

"You shouted so loudly, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to deny it."

Chenlong was not provoked.

The golden threads of cause and effect spread out in his palm, heading straight for Chen Yifan.

"Cause and effect tracing".

Rabbit immediately gave a reminder.

"Chen Yifan, watch out!"

Shenhou also raised his stick.

"Old Dragon is getting serious!"

Golden threads pierced through the purification array and the edge of the old sealing layer, aiming to nail Chen Yifan to the altar.

past.

just now.

future.

Chenlong wants to lock away all traces of him.

Once it's locked, Chen Yifan will never be able to escape again.

However, the golden threads suddenly knotted as soon as they touched three feet around Chen Yifan.

The Ring of the Thief is burning hot.

Causal obscuring is activated.

The tracing of Chenlong's lineage leads to a blank.

There is no birth record.

There is no growth trajectory.

There is no extension of fate.

Only the living person in the center of the altar.

The golden threads became increasingly tangled, eventually breaking into several pieces in mid-air.

Chenlong's face darkened.

Chen Yifan raised his wrist, and the chain rattled as he pulled it.

"What's wrong?"

"Can't find it?"

He looked up, his tone low.

"If we can't find it, then we'll have to trouble you to take matters into your own hands!"

Shenhou laughed on the spot.

"You little rascal, you've got a real sharp tongue."

Zishu added a sentence.

"Chenlong's heart is stirred."

The monkey immediately perked up.

"What kind of reaction? Are you furious?"

The mouse paused for half a second.

"I want to kill someone."

Shenhou gripped the long staff tightly.

"That's more like it."

Chenlong raised his hand and pressed it down.

Golden dragon patterns crawled out from his arm, while dark purple stains clung to the gaps in the patterns.

A giant dragon claw materialized above the altar.

The space was compressed and made to explode.

The altar runes shattered in circles.

Bai Zhi's voice changed from anxiety.

"The altar's capacity has been exceeded!"

"Chen Yifan, retreat! Retreat now!"

Chen Yifan did not back down.

The chains were still fastened to his body.

The star gate is right behind us.

If he retreats further, Chenlong can then easily push him into the sacrificial array.

He gripped the sealing chains with both hands.

The physical body is fully awakened after breaking through the genetic lock.

The bones emitted a dense, muffled cracking sound.

The power that had been suppressed by the rules of the world within his flesh and blood began to emerge inch by inch.

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the Purple Gold Pagoda rotated.

All the alien noises that rushed in were crushed into fragments.

Chen Yifan spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Come."

The dragon's claw descended.

boom!

The center of the altar collapsed.

The impact ripped up the plank roads on both sides, and the black-armored officers from the Department of Punishments were forced to retreat more than ten steps.

The white purification array was smashed, resulting in large cracks.

The old sealing layer was also pressed down and sank.

Chen Yifan stepped into the stone surface of the altar.

He plowed two furrows into the stone surface, dragging it for a hundred meters.

Two chains broke.

His arms were torn open, and his shoulder bones made a screeching sound.

But he did not kneel.

The dragon's claw pressed down on his head.

He managed to hold it up with both hands.

Shenhou's eyelids twitched.

"Level 70?"

"This is level 70?!"

Bai Zhi was stunned on the other end of the line.

"The physical strength test results are not up... the instrument is reporting an error!"

Rat is rarely poor.

"His inner voice did not cry for help."

The monkey gritted its teeth.

"Nonsense, this kid never intended to beg!"

Chen Yifan's arms continued to sink.

The power of the Dragon (辰龙) far surpasses that of the Snake (巳蛇).

Even though Chenlong's authority was partially stripped away, and even though he was still held back by the Star Gate, he was still the head of the Twelve Zodiacs.

But Chen Yifan withstood the first blow.

If you can hold on, that's your chance.

"Monkey!"

Chen Yifan squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

Shenhou understood instantly.

Six long sticks struck Chenlong's body from different directions.

"Old Dragon, look this way!"

Chenlong raised his other hand, and the threads of cause and effect formed a barrier.

Shenhou's long staff struck, and a large area of ​​golden threads exploded.

The Rabbit seized the opportunity and forcibly accessed the arbitration panel.

"Seal off Stargate Channel Three!"

Bai Zhi operates simultaneously.

"The offline disconnection array has been connected! But we still need Dragon Head-level access!"

Yanlong's voice came through the communication channel.

"Open the old passage for me."

Bai Zhi immediately entered the key.

"Old channel authorization request... approved!"

Deep in the sky, one after another, the gray dragon patterns that had been dormant for many years lit up.

Those patterns do not belong to the Chenlong.

They come from an earlier wartime system.

A wisp of green smoke and a dragon-like shadow passed through the old underground lines and landed directly in front of the stargate isolation layer.

The projection of the smoke dragon is no longer blurry.

This time, everyone in the arbitration channel heard his voice.

"Chenlong".

"You don't deserve to sit in that position anymore."

The ruling will cause an uproar.

"Smoke Dragon?"

"The previous candidate for Dragon Head?"

"Is he still alive?"

Why is it still responding with the old permissions?

Chenlong suddenly turned his head.

"Wang Qingyun!"

Yanlong ignored the noise.

The gray dragon pattern climbed up the star gate along the old blockade layer, forcefully seizing a portion of the control over the lower levels from Chenlong.

[Old wartime authority takeover: 10%]

Seventeen percent.

[Twenty-one percent.]

The Rabbit responded immediately.

"Article 39 of the Judgment Council: First case involving foreign defilement of a deity; temporary suspension of authority continues!"

Shenhou laughed loudly.

"Confirmed by the Ministry of Penalties!"

The rat lazily continued.

"Review area confirmed."

In the adjudication council, several more silent seats lit up.

"Review approved."

"I agree to restrict Chenlong."

"Agreed to temporarily manage the lower levels of the Stargate under the old wartime authority."

A gash was torn in the dragon pattern on Chenlong's chest.

Dark purple spots emerged from within and began to wriggle wildly.

The pressure on Chen Yifan suddenly decreased.

He exerted his strength and pushed with both arms.

The golden dragon claw was broken in half by his thrust.

Three more chains broke.

He burst out of the altar ravine, sending stone chips flying from his feet.

The spiritual power condensed into an invisible sharp blade in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Level 50 skill.

God Meteor Thorn.

This time, it's not aimed at the Snake.

The target is the Dragon Consciousness Sea!

The purple-gold spiritual power was compressed to the extreme and pierced straight into the authority crack torn open in Chenlong's chest.

Chen Long clearly didn't expect Chen Yifan to dare to counterattack at this time.

"court death."

The golden threads of cause and effect coiled back, attempting to crush the Godfall Thorn.

But Yanlong's old permissions blocked that part of the cause-and-effect relationship.

Shenhou struck with six clubs simultaneously, managing to hold back Chenlong's defenses.

Under the pressure of the Rabbit Purification Array, the white runes sealed off the backflow of pollution from the Star Gate.

The rat suddenly raised its hand.

"The parasitic core is on the right side of Chenlong's soul!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yifan's Divine Fall Thorn suddenly veered to the side.

puff!

An invisible spiritual blade pierced the edge of Chenlong's sea of ​​consciousness.

Chenlong's body stiffened.

The next moment, a suppressed groan came from his throat.

This attack failed to severely injure Chenlong.

The difference in their levels of understanding is undeniable.

But it was enough to bring out what was hidden in his soul.

Chenlong's dark purple body suddenly swelled up.

A fist-sized, dark purple embryo squeezed out from the crack in the dragon pattern on his chest.

The thing had tiny fleshy tendrils, its outer layer covered with broken runes, and inside was an unformed human face.

As soon as it appeared, the pollution index of the entire underground area skyrocketed.

Bai Zhi's voice trembled.

"I saw it!"

"A parasitic embryo! There really is a parasitic embryo on Chenlong's soul!"

Mao Tu's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

"The entire committee will take notes."

Shenhou stared at the lump of something, his face extremely grim.

"Chenlong, do you still claim it's a forgery this time?"

Zishu added in a low voice.

"Its inner voice is not entirely consistent with the consciousness outside the star gate."

Chen Yifan paused in his pursuit.

Not entirely consistent?

This thing is not a direct clone of the Holy Lord's true form.

There is a third party between Chenlong and the Holy Lord.

Chenlong's chest heaved violently.

He reached out and grabbed the embryo, trying to push it back into his body.

Yanlong immediately let out a low growl.

"Stop him!"

Shenhou's long staff has arrived.

"Trying to put it back? Do you think we're blind?!"

The long stick struck Chenlong's arm.

The Rabbit Purification Array descended, and white runes wrapped around the embryo.

Chen Yifan also raised his hand, preparing to deliver another Divine Fall Strike.

But the embryo did not escape to Chenlong.

It twisted its fleshy whiskers, turned, and burrowed into the stargate's containment layer.

Bai Zhi shouted urgently.

"It needs to enter the old containment layer!"

Yanlong's voice turned deep.

"bar!"

Chen Yifan was the closest.

He stomped his foot and dashed out instantly.

Everything steals and locks onto the contaminated structure of the embryo's outer layer.

The ring is getting hot.

A piece of the embryo's outer shell collapsed on the spot, and he forcibly tore out a large area of ​​dark purple runes.

But the unformed human face inside the embryo suddenly opened.

A whisper that belonged neither to Chenlong nor to the Holy Lord entered Chen Yifan's ears.

"The Unlocked".

"You're on the list too."

Chen Yifan tightened his grip and continued stealing.

But the embryo could not survive.

It burned itself, transforming into a dark purple nail that pierced the crack in the stargate's sealing layer.

boom!

The entire bottom layer of the sky suddenly trembled.

The dark purple tide outside the star gate did not continue to surge; instead, it receded rapidly.

In Chen Yifan's palm, there was only a piece of the stolen dark purple rune shell.

next second.

All screens in the Sky Dome went black simultaneously.

Then, the World Engine logo in the direction of the Mariana Trench lit up on every screen.

The cold system notification echoed across the professional panels of every player on Earth.

[Anomaly in civilization intensity detected.]

[Record of the Stargate Parasite breaking through the blockade layer has been uploaded.]

[Harvest signal warm-up in progress.]

[Estimated countdown: 168 hours.]
