Chapter 442 - 110: Become the Plane King, Then the Domain King, and Finally the King of the World
He was the only one who could save these Hua Country Lords from the brink of annihilation.
This way, his position as "King" would no longer be based on the intimidation of sheer combat power. Instead, it would be a title willingly bestowed upon him by all the Hua Country players—their only light in a desperate situation, the "Common Lord" who could lead them to survival.
’Conquer Hua Country...’
’Then conquer the globe...’
’Become the most powerful mortal Emperor outside the Divine Domain...’
With that thought, Qin Feng turned to look out the window. The neon lights of the city flickered in the dead of night, but they couldn’t penetrate the surging ambition and sharpness in his eyes.
He knew very well.
This path to kingship held the greatest variable.
The elusive Destiny Deities, who hid behind the rules of the "game."
If those Deities intervened, he might be forced to stop at being a mere "Lord of Planes."
But as long as those lofty beings remained silent, as long as he was given this one chance, he believed that with the trump cards from his Riding and Cutting system and the combat power of the Holy Empire, it wouldn’t be difficult. Forget just consolidating the Hua Country Plane and ruling the globe—even overthrowing the existing order and dethroning the "Destiny Deities" was within reach.
’I wonder what kind of intervention you’ll make in response to my next actions...’
’Or maybe...’
’You won’t meddle in my affairs at all...’
As he finished his thought, Qin Feng’s finger tapped on the virtual panel. A cold smile curled his lips, his eyes glinting with the sharpness of assured victory. This "coronation ceremony," disguised as a disaster, was about to officially begin.
[System Notification!]
[You have activated the Power of a Divine Gift’s Authority—Eye of the Hunter (Level 3)!]
[Current hunt target is "Eagle Country Player: John." Until he is completely killed (this includes, but is not limited to, activating the ’Sealed Resurrection’ effect; as long as the target dies, even if they can be resurrected later, this hunt will be considered complete, and you may select a new target), you can track two additional targets!]
John.
He was the core player the Eagle Country players had sent to "snipe" him last time.
He was the Commander of the entire Eagle Country Realm’s Plane army, as well as a core member of the Eagle Country Realm’s strongest major Player Alliance, the "Peace Dove Alliance."
Because the guy was a notorious trash-talker, Qin Feng remembered him clearly. He had always held the top spot on Qin Feng’s mental list of "people to make an example of."

The landing gear of the Boeing 777 gently touched the runway at Eagle Country’s Mambo Airport. As the vibrations from the friction between the tires and the ground traveled up through the cabin wall, Qin Feng was resting with his eyes closed, leaning against the window.
His custom-tailored, dark gray suit was impeccably cut, its shoulder line pressed without a single wrinkle. The silk tie peeking from his collar had an intricate pattern, and even his cufflinks were embedded with discreet diamond chips.
Dressed like this and sitting in the airport’s VIP lounge, he looked every bit the corporate executive who constantly flew international routes. Every gesture exuded the steady aura of a business elite.
The matte black briefcase at his feet was another testament to his attention to detail. Its fine leather was subtle, not ostentatious, and it stood there quietly as if filled with transnational contracts waiting to be signed.
No one would ever connect the man before them with Tingfeng—the one who could live in the Otherworld for months on end, leading his Divine Chosen Army into battle every day, and never returning to the Real World.
Following the crowd out into the arrivals hall, he smoothly passed the customs officer’s routine questions with a gentle smile and fluent English.
The moment he stepped into the airport terminal, his finger discreetly brushed across his palm. A faint golden light flashed beneath his skin. The Divine Gift: Eye of the Hunter activated at his will. A translucent, pale-gold coordinate interface immediately appeared on his retina. A red dot representing John blinked once per second, with his precise latitude and longitude displayed below, accurate down to the meter.
51°30′N, 0°07′W.
An accompanying holographic projection displayed the outline of the target’s building: a detached Victorian-style villa in the Hajimi District. Its ivy-covered exterior walls were clearly visible in the projection.
Qin Feng raised a hand to hail a black cab. When he gave a street name near the coordinates, the driver turned to look at him.
"First time in Mambo, sir?"
"That area’s a rich white neighborhood. Security around there is tight. Ordinary folks can’t even get close."
"Especially someone like you..."
Hearing this, Qin Feng just smiled. He didn’t explain, simply motioning for the driver to keep going before turning his gaze to the streetscape outside the window.
The Eye of the Hunter’s interface didn’t disappear. Instead, it continuously updated the route as the car moved. Auxiliary information popped up at the edge of the display, marking every Real World Law Enforcer from the "Peace Dove Alliance" they passed along the way.
Those plain-clothed individuals, who seemed to be just strolling down the street, were all crystal clear in his eyes. They were all Tier Four Eagle Country players, level 90 or higher.
Just like the Real World Law Enforcers in Hua Country, they worked in shifts, patrolling their assigned cities to prevent Evil God Players from causing chaos or Lord Players from troubling ordinary people in the Real World.
Then, the taxi reached an intersection in the Hajimi District. Qin Feng paid the fare, got out, and deliberately walked past the street corner where the Peace Dove Alliance Law Enforcers were stationed.
He slung the briefcase over his shoulder. His stride seemed casual, but he was actually using the innate footwork of a Sigmar Combat Priest, each step precisely landing in the blind spots of the Eagle Country players’ vision.
Just then, a notification popped up on the Eye of the Hunter’s interface. The red dot’s blinking frequency increased, and the accompanying vital signs showed that John was active inside the villa.
He walked to a café across the street, ordered an Americano, and sat down at a window seat.
Then, Qin Feng’s fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop in a slow, steady rhythm, as if he were calculating something.
Just as the white steam rising from the coffee cup began to dissipate, a faint golden light silently bloomed in his eyes. The "Eagle Eye" skill from his Ranger class activated without a sound. A translucent, glass-like X-ray interface materialized behind the steam, dissecting the villa across the street layer by layer, revealing every minute detail.
The scene on the first floor came into focus first. John was sunk into a large leather sofa, a cigar between his fingers, speaking animatedly to two men in black suits. His posture was relaxed, yet tinged with the arrogance of a superior.
On the long walnut table in front of him, there were no exquisite ornaments. Instead, a thick volume lay open, its cover stamped with the Alliance Badge of the "Peace Dove Alliance." A gilded bookmark tucked between the pages glinted in his X-ray vision, clearly indicating it was an important book for the Peace Dove Alliance.
The X-ray view slid upward. The second-floor bedroom and study were empty. The custom suits hanging in the closet formed an odd pairing with the various ancient weapons on the weapon rack.
The third-floor attic was even more deserted, filled only with some dusty old boxes. There wasn’t even the faintest sign of life.
It was obvious.
This villa wasn’t a temporary base for the Peace Dove Alliance.
From the private cigar cabinet in the living room to the fountain pen engraved with John’s name in the study, everything bore the mark of its "owner."
And the high-level Eagle Country players scattered around the villa, hidden behind plants or in surveillance blind spots, were the guards sent by the "Peace Dove Alliance." They stood guard at the entrance or hid in the attic access, surrounding the villa like an iron fortress.
Watching John puffing out clouds of smoke in the X-ray view, Qin Feng’s lips curled into a sneer as he chuckled softly.
"He’s already a level 100 Lord Player, and his own combat strength isn’t weak, yet he still needs so many people for personal protection."
"Are you really that afraid of dying?"
"Or do you just want to experience the luxurious lifestyle only the rich and powerful get to enjoy?"
Musing to himself, Qin Feng took a sip of his coffee, his gaze drifting across the street to the ivy-covered villa.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the villa’s walls. No one would have guessed that this seemingly ordinary tourist from the East was using an unimaginably Powerful ability to take in every detail within the villa.
He put down his coffee cup, dropped his briefcase, took off his suit jacket, and walked straight toward the villa.
’Forget it.’
’I don’t care what he’s trying to do.’
’Anyway, now’s the time for the foul-mouthed John to serve his purpose.’
’I hope he chooses to be a good person in his next life.’
