[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have entered the Hell-level Dungeon (Magma Valley).]

[Adventurer, please kill the culprit behind the eruption of Astera Volcano, the Lava Lord (Leader Level), before the eruption.]

[Countdown to Astera Volcano’s next eruption—59:58]

After becoming able to move again, Liu Ming immediately killed the Fire Elemental monster that was closest to him.

…

Groups of players gathered to brag and chat outside the Dungeon Altar, making it extremely lively.

A group of players who had good equipment suddenly descended onto the altar at this very moment, shocking plenty of the surrounding players.

“The Sanguine Guild’s Bloodied Hands Team! Have they cleared the Dungeon so quickly!?!”

“How could it be! Apart from the Easy-level Dungeon, there will be area announcements when the other dungeon stages are cleared. Besides, the first ten teams to clear the dungeons will also be recorded on the stone tablet in front of the altar.”

“No way! The Bloodied Hands Team is the Sanguine Guild’s top elite team. If even they’ve been defeated, how difficult is this dungeon!?!”

“Who knows? The Bloodied Hands Team may be really impressive in other games, but that might not be the case in this game.”

“Exactly, God Domain is the first complete virtual reality game. Having rich experience in other games might not be of much use.”

…

The players were speaking rather loudly, thus making the Bloodied Hands Team members’ faces grow sullen. However, too many players were present. Hence, they dared not anger the public. They had no choice but to leave the Dungeon Altar sulkily.

With the departure of the Bloodied Hands Team members, many players began to realize that their guesses were right. It was not that the dungeon was too difficult, but rather, the Bloodied Hands Team members had become incapacitated after switching to a different game.

However, before the group of players finished expressing their amazement, rays of light came from the Dungeon Altar’s Teleportation Portal one after another. The groups of elites from the major guilds—who were the first batch to enter the dungeon—were teleported back.

Like the Bloodied Hands team members, no system announcements sounded when the major guilds’ elites were teleported over.

At this moment, the surrounding players reacted and realized that things did not seem to be that simple. A huge uproar instantly broke out in the entire Dungeon Altar’s vicinity.

“Damn it! Qingfeng Pavillion’s Qingfeng Crescent and Qingfeng Phantom… actually failed.”

“Qingfeng Pavilion’s elites are not the only ones. Including the Bloodied Hands Team members, it seems like seven of the game’s 12 major guilds have already failed to clear the dungeon and have been teleported back.”

“Damn it! Half of the 12 major guilds have failed. The damned planners of God Domain are really inhumane.”

…

If only one guild’s pioneer raiders had failed, the other players could say that it was because of their incompetence. However, elites from seven of the nation’s 12 top guilds—as well as the elites of quite a few second-tier guilds—had all returned. This proved that the difficulty of the game’s dungeons was truly inhumane.

All of a sudden, many normal players had already begun cursing the planners of God Domain.

After all, even the manor guilds’ elite players could not clear the dungeon, let alone players like them—who could not even become official members of the major guilds.

“Damned planners, please be more humane. Who can clear such a difficult dungeon!?!”

“Damn it, orphan planners! If I play God Domain again, I’ll be a dog!”
