I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

”Tch.” Lady Dais let out a disdainful sneer.

”A clue already present in the Thought Steel Seal, it’s not hard to guess.”

Lady Dais—no, at this moment, he should be referred to as an Interstellar Hyena—the Thought Steel Seal is a tactic of the Interstellar Hyenas, and indeed, it is almost open information.

”But, how did you know about the ’Immediate Defeat Verdict’ and ’Exile from Yongsha Star’?”

This is what truly unsettled the Interstellar Hyena.

”Brage,” Han Zhan uttered a name.

The moment he heard that name, the Interstellar Hyena’s expression changed dramatically.

”It was him, who broke the ’Class Rules’!”

...

Just as the Interstellar Hyena shouted this,

on Yongsha Star,

inside an unremarkable house.

The rundown house had drafts blowing in from everywhere, with sand being swept in by the wind.

All that was left was an equally broken table, on which a thick book was placed, its pages flipping under the breeze.

On the originally blank pages, lines of neat text appeared out of nowhere.

”The Thought Steel Seal and Class Rules, a tedious and prolonged tug-of-war.”

”This game named ’Sand Table’ has finally reached a new twist.”

”His name is Han Zhan, a mysterious Tier Nine Ultimate. He successfully reached Yongsha Star through the Shuttle Gate, joining the game to compete for the hidden treasure.”

”Due to spatial disruption, his starting point was randomly placed in the Uda Desert. Though the desert is barren, it is one of the few ’safe zones’ on the whole Yongsha Star, owing to the fall of the great Master of Yongsha here. The Uda Desert is free from interference by the ’Thought Steel Seal’ and ’Class Rules’.”

[Note 1: Everything is the best arrangement of fate]

”The new player Han Zhan met the ’Ten Sand Coins’ Punk in the Uda Desert, a villain with principles, who was ambushed and sent to the Tukalu Camp. However, as a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse, the enemies before him were nothing more than a bunch of paper tigers, easily shattered!”

[Note 2: The invincible joy novel trope deeply ingrained]

”Han Zhan successfully left the Tukalu Camp and found Punk’s bar. He followed Punk back to his residence, where he met the beautiful blind girl Aisha. Aisha smelled the intense scent of blood on Han Zhan, knelt to plead for Punk’s life, yet their strange stances led to a deep misunderstanding by the intruding Punk.”

[Note 3: Misunderstanding is the driving force of the story]

”Han Zhan, along with Punk, assumed different identities to enter the Marian Mansion. He successfully noticed the conspiracy of the Thought Steel Seal and helped the beautiful Lady Marianne solve the nightmare that had long troubled her. Thus, the beautiful Lady Marianne developed deep feelings for the hero who saved her, Han Zhan.”

[Note 4: Love is an indispensable seasoning]

”In the library of the Marian Mansion, Han Zhan discovered a vast collection of books on Yongsha Star’s history, which shouldn’t have been there. Due to the ’Class Rules’, these secrets of Yongsha Star were only accessible to the leader of the Alliance Army, ’Mass’.”

”Yet they were still present in the library for some unknown reasons.”

”By reading these historical collections, especially the detailed records written by the great Interstellar Traveler & author Brage from a unique perspective, Han Zhan finally understood one crucial point: this is a sandbox game belonging to the gods!”

[Note 5: A complete novel story needs its climax!]

”When the new player Han Zhan first met the veteran player Interstellar Hyena, the Hyena, who thought victory was assured, never expected Han Zhan to have already known about the existence of the ’Sand Table Game’, stripping him of his superiority as a veteran player.”

”The Interstellar Hyena asked Han Zhan for the reason, and when Han Zhan mentioned ’Brage,’ the Interstellar Hyena, in his frustration, shouted: ’It was him, who broke the ”Class Rules”!’”

”What they don’t know is that their experiences are to be recorded in the great Brage’s new novel, ’Yongsha Star’.”

”Remember, this monumental work about gods is written by the great, Ansoo Brage!”

[Note 6: Serialized, to be continued.]

...

”The Interstellar Hyena with the Thought Steel Seal, the leader of the Alliance Army, Mass, who holds the Class Rules, and Brage, who silently observes and records everything without entering the game.”

”This should be the most real current situation on Yongsha Star.”

”A real showdown within the special item of the godly Master of Yongsha, the [Sand Table Game].” Han Zhan spoke calmly.

”If I’m not wrong, only by becoming the final winner of the [Sand Table Game] can one obtain the treasure left behind by the Master of Yongsha.”

This is why there are rarely high tiers appearing to join, despite the loud rumors of the Yongsha Star treasure.”

”Because they are, without exception, eliminated by both the Interstellar Hyena and Mass, at least Tier Nine Ultimates!”

”If I hadn’t happened to see the introduction related to the Master of Yongsha, the godly item [Sand Table Game], leaked by Brage in the library of Marian Mansion, I might have been severely tricked by these ’closed beta veteran players’ who entered the game first.”

”Missing the opportunity to obtain the Master of Yongsha’s treasure.”

”Once inside the [Sand Table Game], players cannot interfere with the normal game process, but their personal talents can still be used normally without spiritual power consumption.”

”This is the magical ability of the godly item, the [Sand Table Game].”

Han Zhan spoke word by word.

The Interstellar Hyena’s talent ability is ”Thought Steel Seal,” the effect of which is self-explanatory — it can silently control others, brainwashing them into becoming puppets.

As Han Zhan had speculated before, the Thought Steel Seal, though powerful, in normal circumstances, requires spiritual power consumption, more consumed with more control.

But here, inside the godly item [Sand Table Game].

When the Thought Steel Seal has no spiritual power consumption, it takes off like a kite free from its tether, its upper limit directly becoming positive infinity.

The Alliance Army leader Mass’s talent ability is ”Class Rules,” a simpler and more straightforward talent, leaning towards militarization, with higher classes able to absolutely crush lower classes.

Similarly, when Mass’s Class Rules no longer require spiritual power consumption, he unified the entire south and became the sole supreme leader in the region, an invincible presence.

Inside the [Sand Table Game], the Interstellar Hyena and Mass are evenly matched and unable to overpower each other.

Until Han Zhan’s sudden emergence, shaking up the whole scenario as an unexpected variable.

Under Ansoo Brage’s deliberate penmanship,

the story of ’Yongsha Star’ comes to a climax!
