Chapter 325: Chapter 53: What?! Resurrection Authority?

“He actually turned into *that*!?”

A shocked gasp came from behind them. The faces of Gumu Qi and the others fell, their gazes on Zhao Chuan now filled with a mixture of terror and gravity.

Among the community of Lord Players responsible for maintaining order in the Real World, there were a few iron-clad rules that must never be broken, in addition to the prohibitions on private dueling and the slaughter of ordinary people.

The most serious of these was turning a living human into an Undead Creature.

Such an act could easily shatter the boundary between the Real World and the game planes, causing widespread panic among ordinary people about Extraordinary Power. It could even trigger a repeat of the ’Great Trouble’ of the past, thereby disrupting the order of the Real World.

For this reason, its depravity was considered no less severe than ’private dueling in the Real World’ and ’slaughtering ordinary people’.

According to the rules, once someone dabbled in such a forbidden method, regardless of whether they were an Evil God Believer, they would be immediately deemed a threat on par with “Evil God Players” and would even face a joint suppression campaign from the entire Order Faction player base.

And now, by voluntarily revealing his Mummy form, Zhao Chuan had undeniably positioned himself as an enemy to all who maintained order.

“Now you understand, don’t you?”

“This guy is one of the Evil God Players.”

“Even that group of Lord Players he’s with, the ones you call the ’Magic Squad,’ are all Evil God Players of the same kind.”

After a brief pause, Qin Feng continued,

“As we planned, I’ll deal with this one myself. The remaining Evil God Players are all yours.”

The moment he finished speaking, their attacks clashed head-on. Zhao Chuan’s sandstorm was as weak as a tickle; Qin Feng didn’t even bat an eyelid.

In contrast, the two Gray Lord Magic spells he unleashed, guided by the penetrating vision of his Eagle Eye, accurately pierced the sand barrier and struck Zhao Chuan hiding behind it.

The next second, Qin Feng swiftly summoned the Poison Fang Bow. His gaze locked onto the few Gu Insects attempting to slip away in the chaos as he activated “Arrow Rain,” a skill he hadn’t used in a long time.

Boosted by the passive effect of his “Multi-shot Arrow” Talent, this Arrow Rain instantly split into over a dozen dense volleys, blanketing the entire room in the blink of an eye.

“Holy shit!?”

“What is that!?”

“Chain Arrow Rain!?”

This combined technique of Qin Feng’s, stacking “Arrow Rain” with “Multi-shot Arrow,” filled the sky with arrows that completely blanketed the bedroom of the Residential Building. Gumu Qi and Liao Bing’s eyes went wide as they stood frozen in place, utterly stunned.

Even though they were all battle-hardened veteran Lord Players who had been through countless cycles of Rebirth, they had never witnessed such an absurdly powerful attack.

If they had to find a point of comparison, perhaps only the large-scale, charged-up Magic cast by Extraordinary Mages could possibly reach such a level.

But the former typically required a long charging time as a prerequisite. It was nothing like Qin Feng, who could fire a single arrow with a flick of his wrist, watch it split into dozens of copies, and then see them all transform into a sky-blotting rain of arrows pouring down.

To be able to inflict such wide-area AoE damage in less than half a second—and judging by the sheer might of the Arrow Rain, the damage was also quite substantial, far surpassing other Lord Players in the first stage of the Lord World.

“Good heavens!”

“He really is the genius rookie that the higher-ups in the Delta Alliance are keeping a close eye on!”

“And to think he even got a title like ’Heaven’s Chosen Ruler’!”

“If he didn’t have such terrifying personal combat strength!”

“How else would those Native Creatures have submitted to him so completely?”

While the others were still sighing in amazement, Qin Feng’s battle had already concluded in an instant.

As a mere level 13, Zhao Chuan stood no chance against the level 25, Heaven-defying existence that was Qin Feng. He was powerless against the full force of his assault. Not only was Zhao Chuan’s body annihilated on the spot, but all the Gu Insects hidden within him were also reduced to ash.

But Qin Feng still had his doubts.

’Annihilating him like this might not be enough to truly finish off an Evil God Believer like Zhao Chuan.’

Furthermore, Qin Feng couldn’t be certain.

’If Zhao Chuan manages to revive himself through some means, will he reoccupy the target slot for my Eye of the Hunter, preventing me from tracking other troublesome enemies like Nesia?’

Therefore, to be safe, Qin Feng no longer hesitated. He decisively consumed 20% of his Maximum Life Value to use his Power of Authority, a “Divine Gift” called Resurrection, forcibly bringing the thoroughly deceased Zhao Chuan back from death.

Seeing the look of utter shock and confusion on Zhao Chuan’s face as he regained consciousness, Qin Feng didn’t pause for a second. He immediately launched a fatal attack, slaying Zhao Chuan before he could even react.

Immediately after, leaving no room for error, Qin Feng repeated his old trick. He once again forcibly resurrected Zhao Chuan, who was still in a daze from the shock of death and rebirth, his eyes not yet fully focused. Before the man could even utter a single question, a cold glint flashed from Qin Feng’s fingertip, and he was cleanly dispatched once more.

This time, Qin Feng’s Spirit perception spread out like a fine net, capturing every surrounding energy fluctuation and trace of life.

He clearly sensed that the faint trace of Zhao Chuan’s life force, which had lingered even in death, had now completely dissipated from the world, along with the unique imprint deep within his soul. Not even a single ember was left that could be rekindled.

Gumu Qi and the others watched with pupils contracting, their eyes looking like they were about to pop out of their sockets. Their gasps were trembling:

“Re… Resurrection Authority!?”

“A Divine Gift Talent!?”

’Holy crap!’

’The man’s Invincible!’

’A damn rookie Lord, still at the one-star realm, and he already has the most Heaven-defying power, the Resurrection Authority!’

’How is anyone else supposed to compete?’

’What’s the fucking point!’

’I’m outta here!’

Faced with the others’ astonishment, Qin Feng’s expression remained perfectly calm as he began to clean up the remnants of Zhao Chuan’s body.

’He’d already thought this through.’

’It was impossible to hide my strength forever anyway.’

Besides, he was now the recognized “Heaven’s Chosen Ruler” of the entire Lord World, His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Empire, and the leading figure among all Player Lords. He would have to lead the Native Creatures and Divine Chosen Lords against various powerful enemies. With frequent combat and command on the horizon, there was simply no room to conceal his own abilities.

So, in his opinion, besides summoning exclusive Soldier Types like Vampires, Undead Creatures, and Wood Elves—which originated from the Middle-earth Warhammer system and were completely inexplicable by the current world’s rules—there was no longer any need to deliberately conceal the rest of his abilities, as they could be passed off as “Divine Gifts” or “Talent Abilities.”

Of course, not hiding them didn’t mean he would actively reveal them.

Qin Feng knew where to draw the line; he would never be foolish enough to lay bare the mechanics of his abilities, much less any potential weaknesses.

He knew full well that unknown forces might be watching him from the shadows. If his core information were to be leaked, it would undoubtedly plant deadly traps for his future actions.

Gumu Qi’s eyes were shining with astonishing brightness. He strode up to Qin Feng, his voice filled with irrepressible eagerness.

“Tingfeng!”

“Seriously!”

“Have you ever thought about joining a major Player Alliance?”

“If you’re willing, come to our Freljord Alliance! I swear, once our Alliance Leader meets you, he’ll definitely make you a Vice Alliance Leader right then and there!”

On the surface, he was extending an invitation, but inside, his mind was reeling as a single thought screamed over and over.

’HOLY SHIT!!!’

’A Resurrection Technique!!!’

’That’s the most fucking Heaven-defying ability, the Resurrection Authority!!!’

’Sure, there are rules in the Real World against Lord Players resurrecting the dead as Undead Creatures, but there’s no rule against resurrecting them as normal people!!!’

’That means!!!’

’Any Player Alliance that has Tingfeng!!!’

’Everyone in that Player Alliance would have a second life, a third life, maybe even infinite lives!!!’

’This is more mind-blowing than having the technology to build nuclear weapons!!!’

’Forget making Qin Feng the Vice Alliance Leader of the Freljord Alliance!!!’

’Even if he were to take over the boss’s spot as the Alliance Leader!!!’

’The boss would probably agree!!!’

’And every other member of the Freljord Alliance would agree too!!!’
