OFR – Chapter 349 Industry Earthquake (Part 2)!

Right now, on the livestream page that the entire internet is watching, after nearly two intense hours of fierce battle, only Guan Zong and Qian “Male God” remain in the once-mighty God-Tier Alliance!

It was nothing short of a crushing defeat.
No one had expected such a scene.

After all, the many “god-tier” patrons in the alliance were all towering figures renowned throughout the entire streaming industry.

In the eyes of the public, each of them was a pillar, standing tall and proud—yet now they had fallen in such a brutal, devastating way!
The sight was a stark contrast to just moments ago, when the God-Tier Alliance had been so arrogant that they destroyed the entire “Mortal Vanity” team without mercy.

It was as if they had just been lords of the world, and in the blink of an eye, they were utterly defeated.

This turn of events made every viewer flood the chat with exclamations and disbelief, whether in individual livestream rooms or on the platform’s front page.

Among them, of course, were even more messages of awe and reverence—directed at the man who, all alone, dared to stand against the entire Douyu platform and had achieved such dazzling success.

The barrage of comments filled the grand event of the streaming industry with even more heat and excitement.
And amidst the lively atmosphere, time quietly slipped by—it was already approaching 6 p.m. before anyone noticed.

Although today was Lunar New Year’s Eve, the weather remained overcast. As six o’clock neared, night fell quickly.

This was a day for family reunions, not like any ordinary day—so even in the wealthy Xuanwu Zhongshan neighborhood, where residents often came home in the middle of the night, the lights were already on early.

Mu Bai’s luxurious villa was no exception.

He didn’t have many friends, but ever since his grandfather’s passing, he had grown used to spending these solitary days alone over the years.

There was no sadness, nor any sense of loneliness.

Mu Bai had simply grown accustomed to it. Sitting calmly on the sofa with a cup of hot tea in hand, he watched the chaos of comments flying across the livestream screen.

At noon, he had taken only a short break for lunch, returning before the “Clash of Titans” had begun.

But instead of joining immediately, he entered on a small alternate account to observe.

During that time, he saw Nuan Baobao and Han Xiaoxiao struggling helplessly, saw Dai Mei’s cunning decision to forfeit, and of course saw Zhang Yuyan stubbornly holding on with gritted teeth.

It wasn’t that he intended to abandon his own streamers. Rather, Mu Bai was waiting for the perfect moment for his “One Man Reigns” side quest and “Who Will Be King” random mission to trigger.
For such missions, the greater the external pressure and setbacks, the higher the chance of triggering the opportunity.

So he waited—until Nuan Baobao, Han Xiaoxiao, and the others truly fell, and the random mission was unlocked again—before making his move to return to the main stage.
It wasn’t cruelty, simply practicality. For him, staying in what he now saw as the rather childish streaming industry was only about completing these two extremely lucrative missions.

That was his top priority.
As for Zhang Yuyan, Nuan Baobao, and the other streamers he trusted implicitly, when he left the industry, he would give them either a generous payout or the security to ensure that, for the next decade, they could work in peace, untouched by anyone’s bullying.

Originally, Mu Bai had only planned to crush the God-Tier Alliance, use this grand online event to gather the 500,000 prestige points needed, and finish the enhanced “Who Will Be King” mission.

But unexpectedly, just as he was preparing to “reason” with the entire Douyu platform, a figure appeared—Yu Huang (“Fish Emperor”). Though he had yet to act, his mere appearance triggered the final stage of the “One Man Reigns” side quest!

Yu Huang.

Mu Bai had only been in the streaming industry for a few months, so he didn’t know exactly what kind of figure this ID had been in the past.
But the fact that Yu Huang’s appearance instantly triggered the final side quest told him this was no ordinary person.

“Ding! As the system has detected a strengthened rival in the streaming industry, in addition to unlocking and upgrading the ‘Who Will Be King’ random mission, the final ‘One Man Reigns’ side quest has been triggered. Defeat every opponent who dares stand in your way, and achieve a level of prestige and dominance never before seen in the streaming industry—creating an era where, for decades to come, all will remember the reign of one man, and the world will fall silent before him. Rewards: 500,000 network silver coins, one random unlock of a quasi–six-star black market privilege, and one random unlock of a mysterious space feature.”

This triggered the instant Yu Huang appeared.

“One Man Reigns, the World Falls Silent.”

The system didn’t need to explain—Mu Bai understood exactly how overwhelming his prestige and authority would have to be.

And this final side quest made something very clear: Yu Huang, after Nalan Yunshao’s retirement, was likely the second-most powerful figure in the entire industry in terms of reputation and influence.
Defeating him would likely secure the 500,000 prestige points needed for the random mission, and even bring Mu Bai to the brink of completing the ultimate “One Man Reigns” goal.

So crushing the God-Tier Alliance today didn’t excite him.

Because in the grand scheme of the day, that alliance—seemingly massive—was just an eye-catching appetizer. The true drama was only beginning.

With this in mind, Mu Bai’s delicate features, lit by the warm glow of the room, softened slightly with interest as he looked at Yu Huang’s ID on the screen.

He was curious about Yu Huang’s real identity.
Anyone who could trigger the final side quest couldn’t be simple. But for someone of that caliber to still linger in the streaming industry? Either they were still young and playful, or—as rumors said—they had deep business ties with Douyu TV.

But Mu Bai only pondered briefly before smiling faintly and setting the thought aside.
He didn’t bother using his black market intelligence network to dig into the truth.

After all, Yu Huang played by the rules—using no underhanded tricks on Douyu itself, but choosing instead to fight openly on a platform no one could manipulate.

So there was no need for Mu Bai to dig further.
Whoever Yu Huang was, it made no difference—it wouldn’t change what came next.

Although briefly lost in thought, Mu Bai didn’t pause for long. He took a sip of tea, refocused, and heard Xiao Leng’s tearful plea on the livestream—begging him to spare Guan Zong and Qian Male God.

Her pitiful tone, paired with her beautiful face on camera, could stir sympathy in anyone.

But Mu Bai’s expression didn’t waver. After a few seconds’ thought, he simply lifted a finger and tapped his phone again.

Two or three seconds later, a golden dragon-patterned message appeared in the most prominent spot on the livestream screen, visible to the billions watching across all platforms.

It instantly drew everyone’s full attention.

The reason was simple:
The ID in front of that message now shone with a blinding brilliance after destroying the God-Tier Alliance—so dazzling that no one could possibly ignore it.
