Xie Antong listened to [Pleasure]'s words, her analytical instinct instantly kicking in, wondering what deeper meaning lay behind his statement.

But she didn't ask directly, instead taking immediate action by entering her game interface to check the live chat.

[Why hasn't it started yet? I've seen other players already on the verge of death. What's so strange about this side?]

[Don't know. Blank's game seems quite unique too. Also, I saw 'Sun' sitting alone in his game space, looking a bit idle.]

[Isn't the most crucial thing that there's been no footage of 'Sin' at all?! Did the strongest player not join the game?]

The barrage of comments flew past before her eyes. Xie Antong only needed one glance to swiftly catch the name 'Sin' among them.

Huh? His game stream is currently black? That's impossible. He joined the game, so he must be...

Thinking this, combined with what [Pleasure] had said earlier about a surprise, she immediately had some ideas and began to ponder.

But she didn't show it, merely looking up and saying:

"Spectators have always existed. Ever since we joined this game, we've been under the spectators' gaze. What's the issue?"

[Pleasure], seeing her follow his lead, also smiled and spoke:

[Of course it's not like that. How can that kind of spectator be called a spectator?]

[The greatest performance in this world should be one jointly constituted by the performer and the spectators.]

[The spectators' cheers, applause, gasps of surprise, and clapping are all part of this game.]

[That situation of silently watching from behind a game screen is naturally rather boring.]

Xie Antong frowned, not quite understanding why he was suddenly saying all this. Thinking it over in her mind, she spoke:

"Alright, what you say makes sense."

"So, when does our game start? Are you planning to tell me the rules?"

"Or are we waiting for someone to arrive?"

[Pleasure]: ...

[You being this clever makes me feel it's rather boring... Forget it, let's not talk about those annoying things.]

[Let's just begin directly.]

As he spoke, He gently clapped his hands, producing crisp clapping sounds.

Immediately, the entire world began to violently distort under his actions. A wave of light spread outward in all directions from the two of them as the center.

The entire world twisted and transformed. Apart from the circular open space in the middle, tiered, trapezoidal steps rose sequentially outward, extending infinitely, seemingly reaching the very ends of the world!

Judging by this structure, it resembled the spectator stands of an ancient Roman colosseum, only the current spectator stands were absurdly massive, making the central arena look like a bullseye.

Then, countless figures shimmering with golden light instantly appeared across that vast expanse of ground. Their faces were hazy and unreal, filling the entire enormous arena!

Xie Antong turned her head to look at everything happening, her pupils instantly contracting. There were simply too many people! She couldn't see the end at a single glance!

She was certain that in this world, there had never been a scene with so many people gathered in one place simultaneously.

Could it be...

She glanced sharply at her game livestream and found the broadcast had been cut off!

Immediately afterward, the entire world instantly became as noisy as a stadium. The countless spectators who had appeared began discussing the situation before them, their clamorous voices forming a wave of sound comparable to a sonic attack.

[Heh, a bit noisy, isn't it? Seems these fellows are quite lively.]

[That's right, just as you imagine. I've pulled the spirits of the spectators here, allowing them to experience the atmosphere here firsthand.]

[After all, since the last game started, far fewer people have been willing to participate. These weak-willed fellows prefer being spectators. Well then, if that's the case, they might as well come and watch.]

[Pleasure] forced his voice into Xie Antong's ear. If not for this method, it would be difficult to hear anything spoken in this place.

Once the number of people reaches a certain level, it creates an indescribable sense of awe. After being stunned for a few moments by this spectacle, she spoke:

"What's the point of this?"

[No point. It's just for fun.]

"Then when exactly will it start?"

On the top spectator stands, countless people were also shouting similar questions—what game was this exactly? They had clearly come to watch 'Sin'!

[Pleasure] was also getting a bit impatient at this point, frowning as he prepared to step out. Right at that moment, a glowing door lit up right in the center of the arena.

Before the person even emerged, a voice brimming with narcissism came out from within.

"Heh, looks like I'm late. Were you all waiting for me?"

As the voice fell, a foot stepped out from within, followed by a body, and that exceptionally bizarre face.

Half purple, half pink.

The pink [Jealousy] was now twisted into a shape barely human, looking somewhat Lovecraftian.

Meanwhile, the purple [Lust] sported a single Peach Blossom Eye and half a handsome face, speaking elegantly.

From the moment he appeared, the gaze of hundreds of millions across the entire arena converged on him, as if He was the center of this world!

Strangely, the noisy sound wave from the countless people seemed to quiet down for an instant after his appearance.

Behind him, the Arbitrator and [Death] also stepped out, positioned precisely to his left and right, framing him squarely in the center, making him look exactly like the protagonist of this world.

[Death] lowered his head, deep in thought. After dawdling for a long while, he had finally managed to extricate himself from [War]'s side.

But, what that 'Sin' had said in the end was:

—"Just watch. I will definitely defeat them, and then come play with you." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

...

"Well now, quite a crowd."

Lu Ce arrived here and, with one glance, saw the exceptionally awe-inspiring spectator stands.

Then, without showing the slightest surprise, he spread his arms wide. Standing right in the middle of the four, he stretched out his arms towards the hundreds of millions of spectators, basking in their roars.

"Heh, though I've arrived fashionably late, it will have been worth the wait for you all."

"Because the protagonist has now made his grand entrance. From this moment on, you will have the privilege of witnessing the most magnificent performance."

Saying this, he executed an elegant turn on the arena floor and looked towards Xie Antong.

"I am truly jealous of you."

"It seems you get to share the same game with the world's greatest player once again."

Xie Antong: ?

These words seemed to possess a certain magic, violently drilling into her brain, nearly causing her to lose consciousness.
