Chapter 605 - 234: The News Breaks! Everyone Pales in Shock

"I’m only going to say one thing! This is something I’ve spent the entire past week investigating! This information is absolutely true! And it’s extremely important! Everyone needs to be on the highest level of alert because of this! At the same time, use the National Treasure Divine Artifacts of every nation we can still contact to share this news with all of humanity!"

He glanced around. Most of the people gathered were familiar faces, like Huang Yi. Without wasting time on pleasantries, Shen Fei stood on the walls of Yang City and poured out everything he had to say. He spoke of the purpose of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses inherited from the Game World, what Version 4.9’s update would contain, how NPCs and bosses would revive after death, and how their power would be amplified ten thousandfold after Version 4.9... Shen Fei laid bare every last piece of related intelligence.

Although he didn’t tell them that he had spent the past week in the Dinosaur Era hundreds of millions of years ago, he held absolutely nothing back when it came to the Version 4.9 apocalypse and the ultimate goal of the NPCs and bosses. He even revealed that all the NPCs and bosses had now fled from the special region in the Pacific Ocean. He told them everything.

After these past few months of apocalyptic inheritance, the Blue Star of today was already hundreds of times larger than it was before the apocalypse. Therefore, if they wanted to resist, to find a way, to successfully survive this apocalyptic crisis preordained by the version’s rules, he had to unite all of humanity.

Thanks to Version 4.7, all humans had obtained panels and inherited abilities. As such, news like this and a battle that spanned an entire version was inevitably a matter for all human players.

Shen Fei was not fighting alone!

"HISS..."

"Ah?!"

"What?!"

"Huh?!"

"What?! There’s an apocalypse coming?!"

Beside him, everyone who had remained was completely stunned by the nonstop flood of information Shen Fei delivered. Originally, they had all accumulated various secrets over the past week that they wanted to tell Shen Fei. Some were about the truth of Blue Star being a Game World. Some were about special Secret Realms that had been inherited. And some were about treasure grounds or mysterious artifacts that had run into trouble. They had all thought they would be the ones to shock Shen Fei with their information. But none of them had expected that before they could even speak, the news Shen Fei delivered had already left them reeling.

The Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses inherited from the Game World, who outnumber humans by the billions, are our enemies? Not only are they not someone humanity should unite with, but their Combat Power will increase another ten thousandfold with the blessing of the version’s rules? And then they’ll come to exterminate all of humanity? Humanity’s natural position is to be hostile to NPCs and bosses? The so-called inheritance of game abilities wasn’t meant to unlock a path to Extraordinary Abilities for humanity? It was just to give humanity power, only to completely annihilate us after Version 4.9? Just like the extinction of the dinosaurs? Humanity, even though we’ve inherited Extraordinary Abilities for a few months, is ultimately doomed to be wiped out?

A storm of questions erupted in everyone’s minds following Shen Fei’s announcement. In the face of news about their entire race’s extinction, everyone felt that the news they had prepared was utterly insignificant.

Since the very first version update, they had all experienced eight of them. They each had a deep, personal understanding of the unstoppable power a version update held. Now, hearing that the imminent Version 4.9 meant the death of humanity, a shadow instantly fell over them all. The realization that the version’s rules were irreversible was now firmly seared into their hearts, and the future—Version 4.9—meant human extinction!

Everyone was stunned speechless by this news. Even those who had good news to share with Shen Fei were frozen in shock!

[DING!]

Just as everyone was gasping for air, struggling to digest Shen Fei’s news and trying to compose themselves, they were all startled by their personal panels, which abruptly lit up. They never expected their personal panels to open at this very moment. Moreover, a series of text notifications scrolled across it! Having just received their sixth game ability, they had never imagined that they would once again experience a universal text update at this moment.

[DING!]

[Version 4.8 Update!]

[DING!]

[All blockages between the Human Game World and all other worlds have been fully opened!]

[DING!]

[There is a chance for the Human World to have its connection breached by other Game Worlds!]

[DING!]

[Version 4.8 has completed its full-scale update!]

As everyone watched in horror, the version updated once again. Version 4.8, which had just received an update a week ago, had now completed its full-scale update. They had just heard Shen Fei say that Version 4.9 would be the one where humanity was wiped out. Now, in the blink of an eye, Version 4.8 had completed its full-scale update.

The next wave would be the Version 4.9 update.

This realization made everyone’s heart leap into their throats. Their gazes, sharp and intense, instantly snapped to their own personal panels. Everyone stared at their panels in terror, worried that the text would continue to refresh and that Version 4.9 would be released right then and there...

A few minutes later, someone finally let out a long sigh of relief. Version 4.9, which everyone had been watching for, did not update immediately.
