Zhang Yue's Soul Hunter level was fixed at Rank 7 1700/3000.
Only one step away from Rank 8.
It only took less than a day to almost complete the mission of the World 19.
This speed can simply be called a miracle.
Next, just casually doing a few small missions can easily reach Rank 8 Soul Hunter.
And with Zhang Yue's current identity as a Rank 7 Soul Hunter, the missions and maps he could access in the Death Territory were already very extensive.
Going to high-level maps to perform high-level missions would be even faster.
However, for now, Zhang Yue did not plan to immediately go carry out missions.
Because it was dinner time.
As the saying goes, the sky is vast, the earth is vast, eating is the biggest.
So, Zhang Yue exited the Death Territory, returned to the safe zone Holy Light City in the World 19, and logged off.
When Zhang Yue returned offline, he found that the Heavens Hall headquarters was empty.
At this moment, all 360 members of the guild except Zhang Yue were online working hard.
Zhang Yue felt deeply ashamed.
Carrying his guilt, he went to a roast duck noodle shop under the guild building and tearfully ordered a large bowl of roast duck noodles.
"Boss, add two extra portions of roast duck."
"Alright!"
While the boss was preparing, Zhang Yue used his phone to browse the International Web forum.
He discovered that the video post published by Ning Tiantian, which was still third on the trending list in the morning, had now already climbed to the number one spot.
Currently, the video heat value was 350 billion+, the number of likes had reached 310 million, comments 50 million, and shares had also surpassed 100 million.
For a newcomer post released by a new account with zero follower base, these stats were simply explosive.
Zhang Yue's fame was also getting higher and higher.
However, due to the angle from which Ning Tiantian filmed, it was from behind Zhang Yue.
So in the video, only Zhang Yue's back was shown.
All over the world, countless people developed a strong interest in this mysterious back.
In the comment section, some girls even used their imagination to draw portraits of Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue casually clicked on the one with the most likes to take a look.
'Hey!'
'Not gonna lie, pretty handsome!'
Even because of this video, conflicts broke out among the Seven Great Nations.
———
In the Seven Great Nations alliance group, leaders of various countries all held their own views.
"What's the meaning of you Cold Nation folks? Just to survive, you can wantonly kill our Beacon people, is that it?"
"Didn't your people also kill ours? Everyone is trying to survive, don't be so biased against our Cold Nation people!"
"If you ask me, you're just selfish! According to the survivors from my Okaman Nation, our Okaman warriors were determined to die rather than harm our own, but because your Six Nations were killing each other, we were forced to get involved, a bunch of spineless cowards."
"Nonsense! According to our Oil Nation people, it was your Okaman who struck first at the time."
Little did they know, this was exactly the outcome Zhang Yue most wanted to see.
The more fiercely the Seven Great Nations argued, the happier Zhang Yue became.
Otherwise, he could have wiped out all the Seven Nations' professionals in one move, not giving them the chance to survive by killing their own people.
At the same time.

[Cold Nation Capital: Han City]
On the top floor of a skyscraper, inside an office labeled [President], a middle-aged man in a suit with sharp facial features and piercing eyes was holding a cup of coffee, watching a video playing on the computer screen in front of him.
And this video was exactly the current hottest one on the Otherworld International Web: [Dragon Nation's Level-100 Beast Tamer Fights Off Seven Nations' Max-Level Professionals Alone]
At that moment, a man knocked and entered the office.
He nervously said to the suited man, "President Quan, due to the incident that occurred in the Dragon Nation territory this morning led by the Celebrity Guild, the current situation of the Seven Great Nations is unstable. Moreover, our people in the World 17, 18, and 19s are frequently being hunted by a Dragon Nation guild named [Heavens Hall]'s professionals. Those worlds' Death Territories no longer have any place for our Cold Nation."
"In addition, the Seven Great Nations and some of our other allied nations have all suffered retaliatory attacks from that Dragon Nation Beast Tamer. The impact that guy is having on us is already huge. If we don't eliminate him soon and let him continue developing, the consequences could be unimaginable…"
The suited man swirled his coffee and said calmly, "Then kill him."
"The problem is, this morning, our Cold Nation's top three guilds' president, Celebrity Junxin, personally led the team, and the ones who went were all top near-max-level professionals from the Seven Great Nations, but they were all killed by that Beast Tamer named Zero."
The young man reporting said, "That Beast Tamer's strength is unfathomable. Ordinary people simply can't handle him…"
The suited man drank all the coffee in the cup in one gulp and put it down.
He said solemnly, "Notify the Eastern Nation, I need a space rift to the Dragon Nation's World 19."
[T/N: So far, there hasn't been any mention of governments intervening in it. Why? There has been spies, high-level players infilitarting, etc. and there is no political turmoil in the world?]

On the other side.
After Zhang Yue finished his meal, he returned online again.
As soon as he arrived in Holy Light City, he saw Wolong seemingly waiting for a long time.
Knowing that Wolong was here to protect him, Zhang Yue said, "It's fine, go do what you need to do. If I need you, I'll call for you. Don't treat me like I'm some national treasure."
Wolong replied seriously, "I'm afraid I won't make it in time."
"Must ensure Master's safety at all times."
"A hundred years ago, Master protected me. Today, I protect Master."
Wolong clearly remembered: a hundred years ago, when the first wave of Level-9 beast tide descended on the Dragon Nation in the Otherworld, Zhang Yue had deliberately sent Wolong and Hidden Dragon away on a sudden mission, facing the beast tide alone.
If Zhang Yue hadn't done that back then, Wolong would have died with him a hundred years ago.
"Really can't do anything with you," Zhang Yue shook his head and laughed, "Used to be a mischievous kid, now an old rascal."
So, the two went out of the city together.
Wolong's purpose was to escort Zhang Yue safely to the Death Territory.
Once inside the Death Territory, Zhang Yue's situation would no longer need his concern.
On the way to the Death Territory.
Wolong said, "These two days, I've been investigating the whereabouts of the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence, the two major main gods, but found nothing."
Zhang Yue said, "The God of Wrath has been weakened. The other two main gods' situations are definitely the same."
"They must be hiding somewhere, and before their strength recovers, they won't make a move."
Wolong then asked, "Did you encounter the God of Wrath again later?"
"No," Zhang Yue said, "He's charging up."
"I can feel it, he's right beside me."
"All the time."
Wolong planted his Zen staff on the ground, activating a magic shield.
"He can freely come and go through all the world's Death Territories, but I cannot."
"In the Death Territory, Master, if you encounter the three main gods, you must retreat immediately. Do not engage them. Before your power returns to the level of Asura Supreme, you are no match for the three main gods."
"As for the God of Wrath, don't interfere," Zhang Yue said something that surprised Wolong, "I want to deal with him personally."
"Don't worry, your Master was able to repel a Level-9 beast tide. What's more, just a mere king-level BOSS?"
As Zhang Yue's words just fell, before Wolong could say anything in response, suddenly, a cold aura swept in from all directions.
The master and disciple both immediately sensed the danger.
In an instant, their expressions turned intense.
"He has come!" [😏]
