Due to the buzz around NINE the God, the number of viewers was continually climbing, reaching the highest peak in the history of OPL.
Even without NINE the God âs involvement, this yearâs OPL was already the most exciting one yet.
One could say that only the OPL could draw as many viewers as an international sports event.
This was a global livestream, watched by countless people, even the invited guests in the audience were careful about their appearances.

[What did Si Fuqing mean by that? Damn, is she implying that sheâs NINE the God?]
[Whatâs going on? My mind is all jumbled. Can someone explain?]
In the audience, two middle-aged men exchanged glances, their eyes momentarily frozen.
One of them shook his head and whispered, âImpossible. Weâve investigated; NINE must be over 27 and is a man. She must have met NINE in the game and is trying to trick us. She has no proof, but we do.â

âWeâve made thorough preparations this time. It will go smoothly.â
Hearing this, the other man finally relaxed, his eyes fixed on the stage.
After a long moment, the host regained his composure and stammered, âMiss Si, everyone is confused by what you said. Do you mean that you are NINE the God?â
Laughter broke out from the audience.
âSi Fuqing is NINE? Then I must be the Jiu the God. How old were you when NINE the God dominated Oracle?â
âThough Si Fuqingâs swordman is impressive, she canât possibly compare to NINE the God.â
âAh, young people, achieving a bit and then becoming arrogant, just like Kill back in the day. They still need guidance from the veterans.â
âMiss Si, I admire your skills,â the man said with an unchanging smile, unperturbed. âI also believe you will surpass me, but I donât understand how Iâve offended you that youâd embarrass me on stage?â
In the eyes of eSports fans, NINE the God was the true first idol.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His words ignited the fury of the fans, with some already shouting for Si Fuqing to step down.
âYes, words alone mean nothing.â Si Fuqing handed the microphone to Nian Yiâan, flexed her wrist, and lazily smiled, âI wasnât fully satisfied with the match against the West Deities team and would like to play against NINE the God again. NINE the God, you donât mind, right?â
To eSports fans, this sounded arrogant.
Yet, some ordinary viewers enjoyed the spectacle.
[Letâs see the match! Today we witness who is the top swordsman in the server!]
[Kill was just as arrogant but still lost to NINE the God. You canât look down on NINE the God just because heâs older.]
[Though I like Si Fuqing and acknowledge her skills, NINE the God is my original idol, my cherished memory. Si Fuqingâs arrogance makes me uncomfortable.]
[Si Fuqing defeated the West Deities team and now thinks she can challenge the god of Oracle?]
The audienceâs noise grew louder, mostly ridiculing Si Fuqing.
Hunter couldnât stand it anymore. He clenched his fists and shouted in anger, âWho are you really? Why impersonate NINE?â
The man chuckled lightly, âHunter, I taught you a lesson a few days ago. How can you not recognize me now?â
Hunter was furious, âNonsense! Youâre not NINE! Youââ
Before he could finish, Kill held him back, sneering coldly, âHe doesnât know heâs facing the real deal, making him more embarrassed.â
Impersonating NINE the God, deceiving Oracle and the eSports community, was a suicidal move.
From the earlier match with Si Fuqing, it was clear she hadnât gone all out.
But now, she was angry.
âWhatâs wrong? Afraid?â Si Fuqing sat down at the computer, âIs this all youâve got?â
The host, unsure how to handle the OPL closing ceremony, touched his earpiece, seeking guidance from Oracleâs higher-ups.
Ji Yunâs secretaryâs voice came through the earpiece, calm, âPresident Ji said not to interfere. Let Miss Si enjoy herself.â
Those last sentence sent a chill down the hostâs spine.
He chose to remain silent.
After conveying Ji Yunâs orders, the secretary pondered for a moment, then spoke seriously, âPresident Ji, someone is targeting Oracle.â
It could be said that Oracleâs top position in the 3D MMORPG market was largely due to NINE the Godâs efforts.
Oracle held a significant market share internationally, causing envy among other similar companies eager to get a piece of the pie.
NINE the God was Oracleâs undefeated legend. Getting someone to impersonate NINE the God aimed to bring down the entire Oracle.
