Chapter 557 - 215: Version 4.8 Update, Blue Star Is Also...?

[DING!]

[Super-Version Event Detected!]

[Version 4.8 Update Accelerating!]

In Qing City, atop the walls of Yang City, everyone—Sun Yu included—stared dumbfounded at the lines of text scrolling across the personal panels that had suddenly appeared. No one had ever expected Version 4.8 to launch at a time like this.

This was especially true for Sun Yu. Just half a day ago, during the fifth inheritance of game abilities, he clearly remembered his big brother, Shen Fei, telling him that the coming week was for rapid accumulation. It was supposed to be a time to gather strength and experience for the next two versions and the ability inheritances from the three remaining Game Worlds.

But Sun Yu never imagined that not even half a day after Shen Fei had left, a situation like this would suddenly occur. To think that so soon after the fifth game ability inheritance, less than a day after the full inheritances of Versions 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7 were completed, Version 4.8 had just gone live...

A dumbfounded Sun Yu stood on the walls of Yang City, watching the text scroll line by line across his personal panel. At the same time, the pupils of everyone around him dilated, their faces filled with utter disbelief. With the update to Version 4.8, the Heaven-Reaching Gang’s group chat, the Qing City Tourism Management Office’s chat, the private group he was in with Huang Yi and Zhao Li, and even the entire Great Xia Forum... everything had blown up in an instant.

Originally, after the full updates for Versions 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7, and with the hundreds of Neutral Cities Shen Fei had previously established across Great Xia, the players of Great Xia had plenty to do following the fifth game ability inheritance. But with the update to Version 4.8, everyone was left completely stunned.

This was especially true when they saw the Version 4.8 information scrolling on their personal panels—information that overturned thousands of years of human history, physics, and scientific knowledge. Some people even felt the urge to commit suicide or simply lie down and give up.

CRACK!

CRACK!

CRACK!

As Sun Yu watched, he saw that as the Version 4.8 update proceeded, a colossal, Teleportation Gate-like hole appeared in the sky above Blue Star. The moment the great hole appeared, it hung high in the sky. It began to slowly rotate, orbiting Blue Star’s core within an atmosphere that had expanded by some unknown magnitude. From anywhere on the globe, you could see it: the great hole that had suddenly appeared in Blue Star’s sky, still expanding as if the heavens themselves had been pierced...

"Big Brother!!"

"Big Brother!!"

"Big Brother!! Answer me! What’s going on!?"

Staring at the black hole-like rift rotating above Blue Star, Sun Yu frantically sent a stream of messages to his big brother, Shen Fei, through the [Ninth World]. At the same time, Sun Yu’s communicator was flooded with incoming calls, ringing with a frantic BEEP BEEP BEEP. He knew that because of the Version 4.8 update, everyone was trying to contact Shen Fei through him.

Unfortunately, after quickly leaving a message in the special space within the [Ninth World] as he and Shen Fei had previously agreed, Sun Yu found that his big brother showed no sign of replying. He sent a barrage of messages, but realized that not only was his big brother not responding, the messages also showed no sign of even being read.

Where’s Big Brother?

After waiting a little longer and watching the entire world erupt over the new information from Version 4.8, with everyone shouting "Impossible!" in a mix of anger and alarm, Sun Yu, unable to reach Shen Fei, felt his own panic begin to rise. He suspected that this so-called super-version event, which had triggered the early update of Version 4.8, was most likely his big brother’s doing again. Furthermore, he knew that Shen Fei had gone to the special region in the Pacific Ocean this time. But for his big brother to suddenly lose contact just as a new version updated... the situation was completely beyond his expectations.

Deep down, he was confident his big brother would be fine. But for him to vanish in an instant—that was something Sun Yu had never anticipated.

Is he not in the special region of the Pacific Ocean anymore? Or is he just too busy with the version update to have time for my messages? Or did something else happen that was outside the plan?

Speculation after speculation surfaced in Sun Yu’s mind. But unfortunately, they were only guesses. He had no definitive information at all.

CR-CRACKLE!

CR-CRACKLE!

While Sun Yu was rapidly speculating, he saw the massive hole in the atmosphere pass over the Qing City region once more. Everyone in Qing City could hear immense shattering sounds emanating from it as it moved.

Please, no!

Looking at the appearance of the hole overhead, Sun Yu’s heart filled with terror. The way this hole looked... he had seen it before! Only, the last time he’d seen it was on a computer screen!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

As Sun Yu’s face was etched with worry and terror, his vision blurred for a moment, and countless people teleported onto the walls of Yang City. Father Shen, Father Sun, Mrs. Shen, Shen Yue, Zhang Qiqiang, Wang Dapang, and all the other experts from Qing City appeared. Sun Yu even saw the figures of Huang Yi and Zhao Li, who had used a Teleportation Array to come all the way from the distant Divine Capital and Songhai. After Sun Yu reported that Shen Fei was unreachable, many of them had anxiously come directly to him.
