After Shen Baiyue left, Shen Jinzhao, who had been silent in the shadow of the wall, tossed the token in his hand, making a faint sound.
Ruan Qing looked towards the source of the sound.
He wasn’t surprised at all that Shen Jinzhao was present, but what surprised him was that the token was in his hand. He had thought Shen Baiyue stole it.
Shen Jinzhao, noticing Ruan Qing’s gaze, lazily said, “He saved you with his life. Aren’t you moved?”
Ruan Qing nodded at the token in Shen Jinzhao’s hand and said, “I am moved.”
Shen Jinzhao caught the falling token and chuckled, “Liar.”
Ruan Qing didn’t explain. He walked to the edge of the rooftop and observed the commotion on the hill behind.
“He might not like your miracle,” Shen Jinzhao said, joining Ruan Qing at his side.
Ruan Qing remained silent. He knew, of course, that Shen Baiyue wouldn’t like it.
But if he was the real Shen Baiyue, he would definitely appreciate it.
Shen Jinzhao looked at the emotionless Ruan Qing and casually asked, “Can you love someone?”
“Why do you ask?” Ruan Qing raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion on his delicate face.
“Because you seem like you have no heart.”
“You’re mistaken.” Ruan Qing chuckled lightly, not giving a direct answer but countering with a question. “Do you know what a prince lacks?”
Shen Jinzhao frowned, seemingly unable to think of what a prince might lack.
Just as he was about to ask, the person next to him collapsed. Shen Jinzhao immediately caught the person.

The graveyard behind the mountain…
At this moment, the blood-red formation has fully manifested.
It looked mysterious and dangerous.
The surviving players were now gathered here at the back of the mountain.
Feng Ye stood outside the formation, looking indifferent towards the center, not worried that something might happen to those inside.
After all, he saw Shen Baiyue took someone away just a moment ago.
At this moment, there was only a puppet at the center of the formation.
As long as be obtained the power of the ‘god’, it would be easy to take away an ordinary NPC from the instance later.
The player similar to the advanced male player on the other side was also thinking the same.
That person was still a player, so it would be even easier to take him away.
But he hadn’t remained calm for long before seemingly sensing something. His eyes widened.
That person was currently inside his puppet’s body!
Damn it, if one stayed in the formation after it was activated, they would definitely be affected.
Moreover, if this instance lost the power of the ‘god’, there’s a chance it might be shut down by the main system of the game.
It would be impossible to leave the instance at that point.
The player similar to the advanced male player was determined to reclaim control of his puppet, even at the risk of facing consequences and being implicated.
Ruan Qing was indeed inside the male player at this moment.
He returned to the player’s body when the formation was about to activate.
After entering the body, Ruan Qing took out a small knife, unhesitatingly cutting the major artery on his wrist.
Allowing the blood to drop on the ground, ultimately merging into the formation.
The blood-red light of the formation became even more dazzling, as if responding to something.
Even the formation started to flow rapidly, looking somewhat terrifying and eerie.
Upon realizing someone was trying to seize control of the body, Ruan Qing didn’t yield. Instead, he used all his mental strength and energy to control the body.
He must endure until the summoning formation was completely activated.
That’s right, it’s the ‘summoning’ formation.
Not some so-called ‘god creation’ formation.
The final command Ruan Qing gave to the robot was to modify the formation into a summoning formation.
The reason he spent so much time inputting the instructions was simply because he had to input the complete summoning formation into the robot’s chip.
Ruan Qing was betting that the god would respond to his summons.
This instance was truly the territory belonging to Him, and he bet that He would come back for him.
After all, He had gone to a place that wasn’t meant for Him for Ruan Qing.
Once he entered the puppet’s body, the soul’s aura belonged to him, so even if the body wasn’t his, He would definitely sense it.
Obviously, Ruan Qing made the right bet.
After the last drop of blood fell into the formation, Ruan Qing relaxed, directly sitting down on the ground.
The formation’s radiance became more and more dazzling, and the flow speed increased, just like it was in <First High School> before.
The formation... activated.
Yang Wenmin, standing outside, felt that something was off with the formation from the beginning.
But the formation was extremely complex. Even though he had existed for hundreds of years, he couldn’t immediately figure out what was wrong.
When the formation was fully activated, a bad premonition rose in Yang Wenmin’s heart; his eyes widened.
This wasn’t a god creating formation; this was a summoning formation!
After realizing, Yang Wenmin directly flashed towards the center of the formation, intending to pull Ruan Qing out.
Since the disappearance of the god, the summoning formation had never succeeded again.
Those involved in the summoning would directly become mindless monsters.
Yang Chenjin and Yang Chenyan also reacted and wanted to go up to pull the person out together.
However, it was too late; the summoning formation directly bounced the three away.
The next second, the summoning formation instantly expanded, directly covering the entire Yang family villa.
The red light emitted by the formation made the whole world fiery red.
If you carefully observed the blood-red light, it wasn’t truly light; it was a kind of red fog floating, exuding an ominous aura.
The formation was spinning faster and faster until only streaks of red light were visible.
Following that, a powerful aura emanated from the summoning formation, carrying a chilling and oppressive sensation.
The entire world was tinted in red, resembling a hell on earth, filled with danger and a frightening atmosphere.
It felt like something ominous was about to descend.
Even though nothing had appeared from the formation yet, the terrifying pressure was as if a monstrous entity was already before them.
Making everything seemed insignificant and powerless.
Enormous, mysterious, unknown, and fearful.
Even to the point where it made people unable to muster any resistance.
The members of the Yang family stared blankly at the center of the formation, their eyes filled with profound horror.
The vanished god... responded to the summons!
Players like Feng Ye and the player similar to the advanced male player were also in shock.
No.
Wasn’t it supposed to be a god creation? Why summoning?
Moreover, hadn’t the god already disappeared?
Shen Baiyue reached out to touch the red light in the air like a delicate veil, completely dumbfounded.
He involuntarily recalled Ruan Qing’s words.
—Do you believe in miracles?
—How about I give you a miracle?
Shen Baiyue now fully understood the meaning behind these two sentences.
The ‘god creating’ formation had turned into a ‘summoning’ formation, and a true god was descending.
This could indeed be considered a miracle.
As long as the god descended, his existence as a vessel was no longer necessary, and he could truly survive.
But the problem was, he was not the real Shen Baiyue; he came to steal the power of the god.
And now...
Shen Baiyue watched the scene in front of him in silence.
Yang Chenfeng’s body eerily elevated, floating in the air without any apparent points of support.
Following that, the blood-red tentacles in the fog transformed into blood, intertwining with the crimson light in the air, crazily surging into Yang Chenfeng’s body.
Most of the onlookers widened their eyes, pupils shrinking, their eyes filled with intense astonishment and fear.
The Yang family’s three members wanted to intervene, but there was no way to stop it as long as the summoning formation hadn’t ceased.
They could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded.
Shen Baiyue was no exception; he understood the strength of divine power better than anyone else, even if it was just blood.
After all the blood had merged with Yang Chenfeng’s body, the fog that had existed for hundreds of years dispersed.
Immediately, a powerful oppressive force in the air instantly crushed down, carrying endless danger and suppression, making it difficult for people to breathe.
The floating Yang Chenfeng was no longer lying flat; he stood in the air, slowly opening his eyes, filled with indifference toward all things.
The ‘god’ had descended.
AHHHHHHHHHHH
