When Wolong and the others struck against the Three Main Gods, Chen Zijin had all along been watching silently in the shadows, observing the whole situation.
She realized: with the strength of Wolong, Hidden Dragon, and Xuan Lan, they could indeed fight against the Three Main Gods.
But they could not handle the Flowing Gold Warrior.
So, as long as the Flowing Gold Warrior was removed, everything else would be easier to deal with.
And just so, Chen Zijin happened to have a [Medal of Death] on her.
Even if she couldn't kill the Flowing Gold Warrior, as long as she was killed by him, then he would suffer the punishment of the Medal of Death, and be buried with her.
Even if it couldn't change the fate that the Champion Reward of the Hell Arena, the Mythical-grade Profession Scroll, would fall into Beacon Nation's hands, Chen Zijin could not just stand by and watch this world get destroyed and do nothing.
Doing what she could, this was the only thing Chen Zijin could do.
But she never thought that her plan would actually be seen through by the Flowing Gold Warrior.
Clearly, he had sensed that Chen Zijin carried the Medal of Death, so instead of killing her, he used the God of Desire's Demon Realm to imprison her in a mysterious domain.
"I really underestimated you. Didn't expect, you're even more cunning than I imagined."
Chen Zijin sat on the ground, a little regretful.
At the same time, she sighed for this world that was about to be destroyed.
"Sorry, I tried my best, but still couldn't change anything…"
"Ah… Zhang Yue, looks like I'll be seeing you soon. I wonder if it'll be in heaven… or in hell…"
Saying so, Chen Zijin stood up and began surveying her surroundings.
At this point, she didn't plan to struggle anymore.
But still, even if she was going to die, she had to at least know where she was dying, right?
Looking around, she found herself standing on a highland.
And all around, below the highlands, was a sea of surging magma.
Surrounding her, every few hundred meters, there was another highland.
Standing in this Molten World, Chen Zijin's small head was filled with great confusion.
"Where is this?"
———
At the same time, elsewhere—
While the Three Main Gods were being held back, Ghostsword Elfa joined with Frost Magic King Kwon Ji-Hyun, and with the aid of the remaining powerhouse professionals from the Eight Great Nations, once again slew the resurrected Hell Familiar, Golia.
After the second kill of the Hell Familiar, everyone's eyes fixed on its corpse, terrified of any further change.
Sure enough, the Hell Familiar didn't disappoint.
After being slain the second time, within seconds, the Hell Familiar shockingly rose once again from death, revived at full health.
At that moment, the surrounding fighters completely collapsed in despair.
"What the hell… it can't even be killed?"
"That's the second resurrection? Does this guy have infinite resurrection ability?"
"What's going on? Is this a bug??"
Just as everyone was panicking, another heavy message arrived, ["Dragon Nation and Bear Nation have already fallen in succession, the Flowing Gold Warrior is now leading the Three Main Gods to ravage everywhere, and the Eight Great Nations' professionals have all suffered disastrous losses."]
Looking back, behind them was already a wasteland, everywhere resembling a human purgatory.
No one could resist the Three Main Gods.
Everyone targeted, without exception, became the Flowing Gold Warrior's devoured prey.
The vast Arena had become nothing more than the slaughter ground of the Flowing Gold Warrior and the Three Main Gods.
Endless fear spread everywhere…

[Molten World]
Chen Zijin had already given up resistance.
But suddenly, she remembered: earlier, Wolong and the others seemed to have said that Zhang Yue might not have died, but instead was imprisoned by the God of Desire, one of the Three Main Gods, using some kind of power, into a certain domain.
And thinking again, just now, the one who acted on her and released the space rift was exactly the God of Desire, Wu En.
"Could it be… Zhang Yue is just like me, trapped in this place?"
Thinking this, Chen Zijin turned her gaze to the surrounding highlands, and at once, a spark of hope to live rose in her heart.
If Zhang Yue was really here, then she had to find him.
So, Chen Zijin came to the edge of the highland, trying to find a way to leap to another highland.
But just as she reached the edge, she was suddenly ambushed.
From the magma below shot out a Crimson Flame Fire Dragon, its whole body flowing with searing molten lava.
ROAR!
The dragon roared and spat a fireball at Chen Zijin.
Chen Zijin swiftly leapt aside, her body flashing like an afterimage as she dashed in and unleashed a flurry of rapid slashes, instantly killing the Crimson Flame Fire Dragon on the spot.
With a wail, the dragon toppled into the magma beneath it.
Before Chen Zijin could even catch her breath, two more Crimson Flame Fire Dragons appeared, launching their attack on her.
Mere level-175 ordinary mobs, naturally, they posed no threat at all to Chen Zijin.
However, as one wave after another of fire dragons kept coming, she realized they were endless, charging forward in droves.
Looking at these flying fire dragons, Chen Zijin suddenly thought of an idea.
Locking onto one Crimson Flame Fire Dragon, she pretended to attack, then leapt up and landed directly on its back.
She stepped on the dragon, attempting to use it as a mount to fly over to the neighboring highland.
But as soon as she left her highland, magma below erupted with pillars of flame, shooting straight at her.
Even as she dodged left and right, jumping back and forth across several fire dragons to evade the flame pillars in succession, in the end, Chen Zijin was still struck by one of the flame pillars.
The scorching burn made her grit her teeth in pain as she quickly jumped back to her original highland.
Looking at her arm, she saw where the flame pillar had grazed her, there were already severe burn marks, radiating with searing pain.
Chen Zijin nearly cried out, "So ugly, my arm's all scarred from the burn!"
What's worse, she realized: the damage from the magma was directly corroding her HP limit.
At this moment, her maximum HP had already dropped by 86%.
Just from a scrape, she had lost 14 points of HP limit, and it seemed it couldn't be restored.
"It hurts so much!"
Feeling the burning heat pressing in from all around, Chen Zijin looked up, and suddenly saw countless Crimson Flame Fire Dragons all around her.
It seemed that her earlier actions had angered the dragon swarm, causing them to launch a group assault on her.
Even though they couldn't directly cross onto her highland, it didn't stop them from launching long-range attacks from outside.
All around, countless fire dragons opened their giant maws, locked onto Chen Zijin, and spat blazing fireballs at her.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
At once, endless fireballs rained down toward Chen Zijin.
Staring at the sky full of fire rain, Chen Zijin's brows furrowed tight, "This is bad, I'm about to be roasted…"
"ZHANG YUE, HELP!"
Just as the endless fireballs were about to engulf Chen Zijin—
CRASH!
A flaming domain gate suddenly opened.
The next moment, a Thirty-Six-Winged Armageddon Black Dragon soared out.
WHOOSH!
In a flash, Zhang Yue appeared in front of Chen Zijin.
"Someone called?"
