Chapter 63: Time Pocket Watch, Global Large-scale Instance "Land of Eternal Night"!
[You have received a special reward: Time Pocket Watch (Divine Artifact)!]
[You have received a special title: Light Chaser (Title)!]
Right after, a flash of golden light appeared and disappeared.
In Jeremy\'s hand materialized an ancient-looking golden pocket watch.
The watch seemed old, with a golden light flowing over its surface adorned with intricate carvings. The dial displayed 12 peculiar runes, identical to those on the sun, exuding an aura of ancient and eternal power.
At that moment, Jeremy felt as if the air around him had slowed down!
[Equipment]: Time Pocket Watch
[Holder]: Jeremy
[Level]: 34
[Type]: Divine Artifact (Unique)
[Quality]: Gold (Perfect)
[Attributes]: Skill Attack Power +62%, All Attributes +51%, Skill Cooldown Time -25%, Stamina Recovery Speed +240%, Mental Recovery Speed +240%...
[Skill 1]: Rewind

[Skill 2]: Foresight

[Skill 4]: Player level is insufficient, skill not yet unlocked.
...
"Such powerful attributes and skills!!" Jeremy\'s heart pounded as he read the descriptions.
The Time Pocket Watch was overwhelmingly powerful in both attributes and skills! Not only did it provide incredibly strong attribute enhancements, but all three skills—Rewind, Foresight, and Stasis—were god-tier skills!
"Rewind" could help him restore his state at crucial moments, "Foresight" could give him a tactical advantage in battle. While "Stasis" had a significant downside, it was undeniably a powerful trump card!
Pausing time for 1 second, combined with the explosive power of "Seven Sins - Wrath," would allow Jeremy to unleash strength far beyond his level in an instant, potentially turning the tide in critical situations!
Moreover, the Time Pocket Watch was a growth-type equipment. Its abilities would scale with the player\'s level, and Jeremy could hardly imagine how terrifying this artifact would become in the future!
"Truly worthy of being called a divine artifact!" Jeremy clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
All his hard work had paid off, the Time Pocket Watch had not disappointed him!
In addition, Jeremy also received a special title, "Sun Chaser."
Just as Jeremy was about to check the title\'s attributes, a notification appeared before him.
[End of the "Sun Chaser" event!]
[The second Doomsday game event, "Dawn Break," is now officially starting!]
[Event Introduction: To enhance players\' gaming experience, the first global large-scale instance "Land of Eternal Night" will be launched. One hundred million players worldwide will be randomly selected to enter the instance. Other players who wish to enter can voluntarily sign up. There is no limit to the number of participants for this event.]
[Event Rules: In the core area of the "Land of Eternal Night," there is an "Exile Tower." The first player to reach the top of the "Exile Tower" will be the winner of this event. If no player reaches the top within a month, all players will be trapped in the "Land of Eternal Night."]
[Game Planner: The Sun]
[Time remaining until entry into the "Land of Eternal Night": 29 minutes and 59 seconds!]
As soon as the event notification appeared, a scene manifested before all players worldwide.
In the dark, desolate void, a vast and barren continent floated, with majestic cities rising from the ground like colossal beasts.
A towering black spire stood tall in the city, piercing the clouds. The dazzling sun hung high above the tower, emitting an incredibly bright and scorching light, illuminating the dark city as if it were daytime.
"What is this?!" Jeremy\'s heart skipped a beat as he looked at the scene on the screen.
The Land of Eternal Night looked almost identical to the world he had seen during his second class change!
This time, however, Jeremy saw it more clearly.
He even noticed the presence of white, spiritual light points in the dark, lifeless void.
At that moment, Jeremy realized that the All-Spirit Prison, the Land of Eternal Night, and the void world he had entered were all the same place!
A fervent excitement flashed in Jeremy\'s eyes.
The last time he was in the void spirit world, he absorbed a large number of spiritual light points, causing his mental power to surge!
Jeremy had always wondered how he could return there, and now the opportunity had presented itself!
Without any hesitation, he decisively chose to sign up for the event.
[Ding! You have voluntarily signed up for the "Dawn Break" event!]
[Time remaining until entry into the "Land of Eternal Night": 27 minutes and 34 seconds!]
...
At the same time, an inconspicuous message floated across the global chat channel.
[Congratulations to player "Jeremy" for being the first to sign up for the "Dawn Break" event!]
Seeing this notification, the global chat fell silent for a moment before exploding with activity.
[LV24 Icey]: "Holy crap, Jeremy\'s lost it! He actually signed up for the instance voluntarily?!"
[LV30 Tristones]:"I can\'t decide whether to call him brave or reckless."
[LV25 Quinlan]: "Probably just overconfident because he just got a divine artifact."
[LV30 Martita]: "It\'s a good thing, though. The more top-tier players we have, the better our chances of getting out of the instance."
[LV30Faas]:"Let\'s hope the instance isn\'t unbeatable, or he might end up trapped in there forever."
...
Meanwhile, at the Presidential Palace in the imperial capital.
A spacious conference room was filled with President Edgar and a dozen of the highest-ranking officials of the Federation.
"This game isn\'t giving us any chance of survival!" Edgar\'s knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in frustration as he looked at the notification before him.
After the apocalypse struck, social order collapsed. The Federation paid a tremendous price to barely stabilize the situation. And now, those bastards who triggered the apocalypse want to throw a hundred million people into an instance at the same time, clearly aiming to extinguish the fledgling spark of humanity.
If these hundred million people can\'t make it out of the instance, the fragile stability the Federation has fought so hard to maintain will completely fall apart. The entire Federation will plunge back into chaos, and it will be beyond salvation!
In the conference room, many people clenched their fists, feeling a deep sense of helplessness. Against such a formidable force, they didn\'t even have a chance to resist.
Zachary, the head of the White Family, spoke bitterly, "Our only hope now is that someone among these hundred million players can clear the instance. At least that would buy us some breathing room. Otherwise..."
He sighed and didn\'t finish his sentence.
But everyone understood what he meant.
If no one can clear this instance, the entire human race might face utter annihilation!
The atmosphere in the conference room grew heavy and silent as everyone fell into deep thought. They knew that since the enemy intended to crush their hope, the difficulty of this instance would likely be beyond anyone\'s imagination. Clearing it would be an almost impossible task!
Just then, someone suddenly received the news that Jeremy had voluntarily joined the event.
A look of joy spread across his face as he excitedly announced to the room, "Good news, everyone! Just now, Jeremy signed up for the instance voluntarily!"
"What?!" Everyone in the conference room was stunned.
Jeremy had voluntarily joined the instance?
A wave of relief washed over their faces.
Jeremy was arguably the highest-level player among humans. Even if his top rank might be somewhat inflated, his presence carried significant weight.
No matter what happens next, his decision to enter the instance at this critical moment would undoubtedly boost morale.
"Haha! As expected of our human genius, he truly has the courage!" Edgar previously weary eyes lit up with renewed vigor, and he couldn\'t help but laugh heartily.
Whether or not Jeremy can clear the instance, his actions alone have given everyone a much-needed morale boost.
The people in the conference room began to perk up.
If a young man like Jeremy dared to voluntarily enter the "Land of Eternal Night," how could they, the older generation, afford to be discouraged?
Edgar immediately issued an order, "Release an announcement, contact all top-tier players, and ask if any of them are willing to enter the instance voluntarily. The more strong players we have, the greater our hope!"
Everyone in the conference room stood up to carry out the order.
...
Meanwhile, Jeremy had no idea that the Federation officials saw him as a brave and fearless young hero.
With about twenty minutes left before the instance began, he took the opportunity to call Emma and the others.
He urged them to be prepared and to contact him immediately if they were unlucky enough to be selected for the instance.
While he was concerned for everyone, his main worry was Emma.
As a support player, she had very little combat capability and could easily find herself in danger inside the instance.
"I understand. You be careful too." Emma\'s sweet voice came through the phone.
Jeremy reassured her with a few comforting words and told her not to worry, then ended the call.
Afterward, Jeremy decided to check the title he had acquired earlier.
