[(Horn) Peak of Martial Arts: Great Dying Star, please look over here and satisfy my curiosity (sad) (sad) (sad).]
Star of Jupiter pressed enter and smiled with a smug face at his monitor.
These days, those fans would only shout at him to fight again, giving him no other choice but to play dirty by purchasing an alt account himself. Now that he mobilized the mod and shifted the players’ mood towards someone else. He wouldn’t believe that Dying Star could continue to stay silent.
As long as Dying Star came out and fought, he could take the opportunity to study A- – – – Killer’s play style. That way, he would have more confidence in another rematch.
According to his observation during these few days, he could tell Dying Star was inferior to A- – – – Killer and would probably lose. Since he lost once, he wanted Dying Star to lose once as well. He could divert people’s attention along the way. It was killing two birds with one stone.
He watched the increasingly noisy and bustling world chat as the smug smile became wider, waiting patiently for Dying Star to respond.
The two people in the centre of the vortex were in an arena room.
Jiang Xiao knew they must be discussing some countermeasures. After asking for the room number, he heard Pure White Sun’s voice as soon as he entered the room, “This is most likely that bastard’s doing!”
Yue Ran uttered, “I see.”
Pure White Sun huffed, “What should we do now? Delay until Sunken Moon finishes his stream? I was already spotted online. What reason should I give for the delay? Tempest, got any ideas?”
Tempest glanced at the little summoner on the side and said indifferently, “You have two choices. First, you send a horn message on fighting already in private and have a win rate of fifty-fifty to satisfy his curiosity. Second, just delete your account.”
The monk asked tentatively, “Little Star?”
After two seconds of thinking, Yue Ran decided, “I guess just delete your account.”
Pure White Sun needed to confirm. “You sure?”
Yue Ran replied with “Yes” like it was an insignificant decision.
He knew that if it was really Star of Jupiter’s doing, that scumbag would definitely think of other ways to force them to fight publicly if he picked the first choice. He was exhausted by these annoying people and planned to do this permanent option the happiest way he can.
Pure White Sun’s character immediately moved like a haze as he quickly stripped every bit of equipment off, leaving only the default underpants and sending a trade request.
Yue Ran said, “All for me?”
The monk chirped, “Of course, not going to waste them.”
Yue Ran accepted and completed the trade. He opened his inventory window and found himself loaded.
The small unpleasant feeling that had clung to him had vanished into thin air. These were enough to repay his cousin and Jiang Xiao. So he abruptly sent a trade request to Jiang Xiao and put the materials he used last time in the trading window.
Jiang Xiao was powerless because he knew the little summoner’s temper. He had no choice but to click ‘Accept’.
During this time, Pure White Sun began to send messages using the horn.
[(Horn) Dying Star: I saw the messages (smile).]
[(Horn) Dying Star: I’m going to delete my account, farewell everyone (smile).]
The whole server became silent for an instant, like the calm before the storm, because the chat exploded like a volcano eruption afterwards.
[(World) Song of Requiem: ???]
[(World) Gossip Lover: ???]
[(World) Eternal Moon Love: No stop! Does Sunken Moon know?]
[(World) Crystal Water: Wow, to actually blow this passerby out. How did it end up like this?]
[(World) Do Not Regret True Love: Dang! Did Dying Star Great God run away in fear?]
[(World) Killer K: Without a doubt.]

[(World) I am Support: Impossible, Star God, why?]
[(World) Daylily: Star God, don’t do this!]

He bought this account at random. Like Jiang Xiao’s long blade, he used a skill name for the character’s name, ‘Earth-Shattering’.
Showing off the most common stave in his hand and using the basic skills that every player got. Those two uncomplicated variables plus Pure White Sun, a variable of smooth and masterful control, equalled an earth-shattering result.
He read through the world chat and found that someone had already shared his offline status.
In the game, accounts below level fifteen could be deleted immediately, the deletion for accounts above that threshold could be reversed within five days, to allow any players to reconsider their decision. After that five days, Dying Star would completely disappear on the new server.
The players obviously knew this, that was why they could spit out this claim.
Most people thought that Dying Star was running away. Although a small number of fans knew that this didn’t sound like Dying Star, they were very anxious about the rush action on the account deletion. So they ran to Sunken Moon’s livestream for help using the stream chat.
Sunken Moon, who just received a WeChat message from Tempest, saw the change in his livestream and only replied that he would check after his stream, ignoring the issue afterwards.
Pure White Sun wanted to clarify immediately, but he didn’t post any message after Tempest told him to wait. So he watched the fight happening in world chat.
Right at this moment, Star of Jupiter was really about to roll on the floor laughing.
He guessed numerous reactions from Dying Star, but none was this one, which was significantly better than losing PK!
He waited for the players to quarrel for a while, scrolled through the forum posts to pass time, and happily watched them scolding Dying Star. Then he logged on to his main account in the new server, pretended to have just heard the news, and sent horn messages.
[(Horn) Star of Jupiter: I heard that Dying Star wants to delete his account, is that true?]
This was the first great god that appeared after Dying Star announced his decision.
Many players replied to him, telling him it was true.
[(Horn) Star of Jupiter: I messaged Sunken Moon on WeChat. He isn’t replying because he is streaming. So what actually happened?]
The speed of the world chat went crazy again as players fought to explain the whole story.
[(Horn) Star of Jupiter: I don’t think it’s possible. For the players at our level, we tend to want to fight against obvious pros, because that’s how we improve. Wait to see if I can get an answer. Dying Star Senior has always been a great god that I look up to very much. It’s a pity that I never had a chance to fight him on the field. I actually wanted to challenge him once I got my mentality back. I really don’t want him to delete his account again.]
The players all replied that they would wait for updates from him. Seeing that the Star God stopped messaging, they continued to discuss.
Those who thought that Dying Star was being a coward sneered again. Although Star of Jupiter lost to A- – – – Killer, he at least proactively scheduled for a fight from the start. While Dying Star acted in a completely different attitude. It was very contradictory when the two were placed side by side.
[(World) Killer K: Returning to our main topic, Dying Star deleted his account the first time right before the tournament too, right? He deleted his account because he knew joining the competition was inevitable. So was his daily imposing manner real?]
[(World) This Great One is an A: And the effort Sunken Moon went through to train him in this return, he doesn’t deserve it!]
[(Horn) Tempest: It’s not up to you whether he deserves it or not.]
After Jiang Xiao instructed Pure White Sun and Sunken Moon, he logged in to an alt account he bought and changed his name with a name change coupon.
Players were stunned the moment they spotted the famous name, before they could react, they saw another message.
[(Horn) Tempest: Star of Jupiter, I knew you wouldn’t keep your mouth shut. See you on Weibo.]
Pure White Sun also changed his monk character’s name to a more eye-catching one and finally sent a horn message.
[(Horn) Pure White Sun: I was the one who was playing on that Dying Star account. I’ll make a statement on my Weibo. See you there.]
Two of the most popular great gods sent messages back to back, the amount of information was too large for the players to handle as they were dumbfounded again.
This time, before they had the time to process the information, two more horn messages followed closely.
[(Horn) Sunken Moon: I ended my stream in advance. A-Bai pretending to be Dying Star was my idea. Check out my Weibo for more information.]
[(Horn) Inky I Love You: Come everyone~ See you on Weibo as well.]
This captured everyone’s attention right away, as they curiously and hurriedly camped on Weibo.
Star of Jupiter was confused since the first horn message.
That Dying Star was Pure White Sun? Then who was the real Dying Star?
He suddenly had a bad feeling. He suppressed his palpitations and opened Weibo and saw that Pure White Sun had quickly explained everything. At the end of his explanation, he included how Star of Jupiter looked down upon Dying Star. [Star of Jupiter, I’ve never seen such a despicable person as you. Going forward, we don’t have to play pretend anymore. Don’t come to me for ranked in the future.]
Jiang Xiao reposted Pure White Sun’s post instantly, commented [+1], and added more details along the way.
Because he did a little digging and found that ‘Peak of Martial Arts’ was a recently purchased alt account. And after Peak of Martial Arts went offline, Star of Jupiter went online closely after, which was very suspicious.
Inked Sun followed tightly behind and queued a [+1].
Like Sunken Moon, he was bound by the livestream contract. It was punishable to become hostile with another host, but adding plus one didn’t matter as much since they were just exhibiting their popularity to the world, the punishment at most would be miniscale.
After Sunken Moon came clean with his own clarification, he also added one.
So far, the four great gods of TSSM stood up together.
This was how the players from other servers learned that the new server was causing a disturbance. They showed up to eat a large pile of melon seeds. Star of Jupiter appeared refined and courteous usually, they never expected him to have such a dirty intention.
The new server’s world chat refreshed the same speed as the Weibo, it was like two pots battling on who could boil the hottest.
[(World) Light Ray: Sunken Moon said they made a fake Dying Star to force the real one out, and he also mentioned the real one had returned. Then…who is it?]
[(World) I am Support: I think we’re all thinking of the same person.]
[(World) Three Layers of Yarn: Oh my gosh, I remembered now. Before the last rematch, I remembered someone also caused an uproar on how the other was too scared to fight.]
[(World) Pendant of Moon God: Same…]
[(World) King of Support: The real Dying Star is a super sharp player!]
[(World) Return of Autumn: No wonder he was so strong because he was one of the great gods!]
However, while there were some players who preferred watching the excitement from the sideline, there was also some brainless fan who didn’t know right from wrong as they immediately jumped out and scolded Sunken Moon on how they knew that A- – – – Killer was Dying Star, but they had the fun of watching Star of Jupiter being destroyed and had the audacity to stream it as well. This was junior abuse.
The scolding was understandable, but there was bound to be shameless people.
[(Horn) Inky I Love You: Not at all, Little Star misunderstood Sunken Moon and Pure White Sun, he thought they found someone to replace him. This leads to Little Star ignoring them. We didn’t figure this out, that’s why we were spectating on that day. I do have to thank everyone’s hard work, otherwise, we wouldn’t have determined Little Star’s identity this quickly.]
Other players were laughing as they started copying and pasting, [Thanks for everyone’s hard work.]
The diehard fans were so angry that they jumped around for a while to cause noise, but once they found it wasn’t working, they stopped and licked their wounds.
Yue Ran saw that things were about done, so he sent a horn as a finisher.
[(Horn) A- – – – Killer: If you want a rematch, just be straight with it. I’ll wait for you.]
The implication is, come at me promptly if you want to fight, and stop playing that twisty nonsense.
Players that started the game back in the good-old days were familiar with his style and immediately bowed down to the burn. The vague rumour wasn’t fake. The real Dying Star was really a man of few but fierce words!
Star of Jupiter’s complexion was ghostly white.
His popularity must be dropping right now from the queue on Weibo. Now that the truth of A- – – – Killer being Dying Star was revealed, if either of them were the topic of a conversation, the first thing people would talk about was Dying Star destroying him three matches in a row!
It was over! Everything was done for!
He threw his mouse against the wall in rage.
At the same time, all the great gods of TSSM were still hanging out in the arena room.
Yue Ran listened to the others chatting while scrolling the guild chat. The Past and others learned of his identity, causing a huge explosion in the guild chat again. He effortlessly replied to their message and heard a system notification. He clicked to open it and found it was a name change coupon.
Sunken Moon smiled. “Did you receive the gift? Consider it compensation. It’s up to you whether you want to change your name or not.”
After pondering for a moment, Yue Ran calmly accepted the gift. Implying that he would change it in a few days since things had ended up like this.
Pure White Sun was very happy. “Congratulations on the official return of our Little Star! I expect Star of Jupiter would be keeping his mouth shut now” He burst out in laughter and ended in a sudden cough.
Coughing from the sudden choke.
Because there was a new series of messages flashing with the horn.
[(Horn) Carnation: What’s so fun about playing support? How could it be more fun than close combat? I would rather shit myself while doing a handstand than touch a support in this lifetime!]
[(Horn) Return of Autumn: What’s so fun about playing support? How could it be more fun than close combat? I would rather shit myself while doing a handstand than touch a support in this lifetime!]
[(Horn) I am Support: What’s so fun about playing support…
……
Everyone was laughing like crazy while shouting for Sun God to come out and shit himself while doing a handstand.
Sunken Moon and Inked Sun couldn’t hold back their laughter, which also brought out a few chuckles from Yue Ran. Then, he heard two knocks from the door. He turned his head and saw his father standing by the door with a slightly guilty expression.
He muted himself and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Yue Shizhong said, “You are Dying Star?”
Yue Ran nodded.
Yue Shizhong put his hand over his chest, looking like he was really in need of a smoke.
He just checked. Dying Star had a rare summoned spirit beast. Back then, this concept meant nothing to him, but now, he knew what it meant.
Yue Ran could tell what his father was thinking. “It’s alright, that was ancient history anyway.”
Yue Shizhong was very distressed. “We didn’t understand at that time. But why didn’t you tell us?”
Because of his chuunibyou nature!
Yue Ran answered, “It really did interfere with my study. It’s alright, I can refine another again.”
Yue Shizhong was still very distressed and reached out to headpat his son.
Yue Ran patiently comforted his father. Seeing his old man calm down before leaving his room.
After that day, Star of Jupiter didn’t dare to run his mouth off again. Yue Ran naturally had many players come knocking on his door asking about the rare spirit beast.
He was so annoyed that he used a horn to shout how he forgot the formula. Then he began to concentrate on continuing to grind his father’s level.
Five days later, the fake Dying Star’s account was officially deleted. Yue Ran changed his ID back and ran to find his father to run an instance dungeon.
His father was close to maxing out his level. One more instance dungeon should do the trick.
But who would have thought that when they met, he found that his father had reached the max level.
Now only that, the other also joined a guild.
Based on the principle of ‘children should have their own space’, Yue Shizhong didn’t want to be in the same guild with his son. Today, he joined a new guild and immediately showed it off. “What do you think? Your father joined a guild.”
Yue Ran could feel the black edge around his vision from the name above his father’s character’s head. “White Koi?”
There were too many names to remember in the game, so Yue Shizhong had long forgotten that the person suspected to be his son-in-law belonged to this guild. He didn’t notice any problem at all, exclaiming, “That’s right. I was doing an instance dungeon with Attired Guqin, the officer, today. He is also a swordsman and helped me reach max level.”
Yue Ran: “…”
Yue Shizhong continued proudly, “Our officer said that although I am a newbie, I have great potential. In time, I could become an amazing player. And their guild needed a player like myself, so I accepted their invite.”
Yue Ran: “…”
Thanks for the chapter!!!
Yay everyone got their own names and identity back. Just missing a new rare summoned beast -side eyes chicken- and the duo competition. Father-in-law is too innocent. he should at least be at the level to know that he’s not good at the game 😅
