In the conference hall of Dragon City.
Today, all of them were players, and all of them were the core players!
Elder Jiao, Elder Meng, Li Qing, Shang Yan, Su Nongying, Mister Bug, Chu Yin …
Apart from Guo Wei, even Wu Qiao and the other senior players who joined later didn't show up.
"After two days of statistics, the conclusion of the battle against Old Demon Black Mountain and the mermaids and mermaids is out."
Next to Ji Ye's empty seat, Su Nongying, who looked slightly tired, was reporting some information.
"All in all, we've suffered a heavy loss …"
It was indeed a heavy loss.
Dozens of heroes were killed, including Hao Dahai, the chef of Dragon City, the three Ruan brothers, Hua Rong, and Hu Sanniang …
Because the battle took place in Dragon City's territory, a lot of resources were lost too.
The fast-growing prairie in the north was wiped out, and the cows and sheep that weren't evacuated in time were eaten by the sea monsters.
When the mermaids and mermaids retreated, they looted all the resources in the Mirage Monsters' settlement. Together with the navy camp that had been completely destroyed, Dragon City had lost at least one-third of its resources in the battle against Old Demon Black Mountain!
"However, we've actually gained a lot too.
"In terms of offerings alone, we've obtained more than 18,000 Ordinary offerings, 3,100 Extraordinary offerings, and 19 Transcendent offerings … Together with the people from Guobei County, it's estimated that the population of Dragon City will exceed 40,000!"
While Su Nongying was talking …
The SkyNet in the sky also projected all kinds of data and spoils of war in front of everyone.
It was worth mentioning that, because it had self-awareness, SkyNet had been contracted by Ji Ye too. Just like the Mutant Blood Tree's "Blood" and the Golden Condor's "Gold", it was named "Sky"!
Now that Ji Ye's Contract talent had advanced to the Transcendent level, the intelligent life that he bought from the City of Humans for 100,000 Civilization Coins could be further improved through Fusion or even Treasure Refinement.
Perhaps one day, it would become an existence similar to the legendary "Heavenly Dao".
"Right, on our way back from Guobei County, we accidentally ran into a team of human cavalrymen who were riding purple tigers. They claimed to be Lord Wei Li Mi's subordinates," said Ji Ye.
"He said that he had already defeated a group of foreign races made up of 'werewolves' and had settled in there. Now, he was going to gather the human races from all over the world and work together to build an extraordinary foundation..."
Su Nongying waved her finger in the air again and unfolded a three-dimensional map of Dragon City. She also marked a location.
"Interesting. We've just left 'Liangshan', and now we're going to be pulled into 'Wagang' …"
The name "Li Mi" was not unfamiliar to the people sitting here.
After all, the popularity of the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties was not lower than that of Water Margin, and because of the different backgrounds of Dragon City, everyone had been learning a lot of ancient history and knowledge over the past few days.
The Wagang Army had also appeared on this continent, probably because Li Yuanba had joined Dragon City. Also, it seemed that he had defeated an alien settlement and become a settlement force. He had learned some of the rules of the Land of Inheritance!
"Waggon, there is a problem. There must be a lot of Transcendent heroes in there, right? "
Chu Yin slightly opened her mouth and frowned.
To some extent, Waggon might be more powerful than the mermaids and mermaids.
It was because among the 46 Friends of Wagang in the novel, there might even be Legendary heroes!
"They're not that powerful …"
Su Nongying shook her head.
If the Wagang Army was complete, they would indeed be an opponent that they had to pay attention to. However, the people who returned to Dragon City had encountered an incomplete army.
Because Heartless, who had the ability to read minds, happened to be nearby, he used his innate skill to directly obtain some information from the scout team's hearts.
The Wagang Army that entered the Land of Inheritance was led by Lord Wei Li Mi, and Wang Bodang, the White Robed Archer, was his deputy.
Just like Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army, the two of them should be Transcendent based on their historical status and popularity.
Li Mi might even be above "Superior" among the Transcendent heroes.
However, the other famous historical heroes, such as Qin Qiong, Li Ji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, and Qu Tutong …
Those Transcendent and even Legendary heroes, who were ranked among the 24 heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion, didn't appear on the Land of Inheritance with the Wagang Army.
As for the "46 Friends of Wagang Village" that were fictional or unknown in history, such as Ding Tianqing, Yuchi Nan, Yuchi Bei, and Du Wenzhong, in terms of strength, they were similar to the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends in Liangshan. They were Extraordinary Superior, Excellent, and even Refined.
According to the intelligence, the Wagang Army had more than 30,000 people compared to the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army.
It might be wishful thinking to conquer Dragon City with Wagang alone.
The werewolf settlement that they had defeated earlier was only an Extraordinary Rank-8 settlement, and there wasn't even a Transcendent being in it.
Perhaps because of that, Li Mi and Wang bodang, who had been given Transcendent abilities by the Land of Inheritance, were too arrogant and thought that they were the Children of Destiny. Just like Wang Qing and Tian Hu, they wanted to achieve great things on the Land of Inheritance and build a divine kingdom!
"We can keep in touch with them …"
"After we digest the offerings and spoils of war, and after the power of providence and population of the settlement are fully recovered, we will have a good 'discussion' with them and bring those people over. Then, we might really consider establishing a nation."
Guo Wei's eyes flashed behind his high-tech glasses.
Without Qin Qiong and Wei Zheng, the top heroes in history …
Even though the Wagang Army had more people than Dragon City did, Dragon City didn't take them seriously at all.
Well, it wasn't that he didn't care about them at all.
The Wagang Army had tens of thousands of people, which meant that once Dragon City conquered them, its population would double again.
Even if they couldn't conquer the entire Land of A Hundred Vying Barges, it wouldn't be difficult for them to complete the Road to Legendary quest!
"Also, the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties was written in the Qing Dynasty and has something in common with Water Margin. They're both mythical.
"Many leaders in the Wagang Army belong to the 28 Mansions in Heaven. For example, Li Mi is the Golden Dog Lou, and Wang BoDang is the Golden Bull Niu … Our Five Direction Feng Shui Formation was destroyed earlier, and we're only relying on the 28 Mansions Formation Flags. It's not enough for us to defend ourselves. We might be able to strengthen it after we conquer the Wagang Army."
As usual, Elder Meng gave everyone a supplementary lesson.
"Actually, I'm not very interested in the Wagang Village. I'm more interested in the Colorful Coiled Dragon Silk offering dropped by the green Flood Dragon that was killed by the City Master. Which Legendary figure will it summon?"
"A Legendary hero will be of great help to a settlement. Theoretically speaking, it can significantly increase the settlement's power of providence!"
Shang Yan said excitedly.
Yes, it was just like Cao Cao's talent, which could summon extra power of providence from Earth and buff a hero.
When a Legendary figure arrived, not only could they significantly increase their power of providence, their talent ability could also boost the power of providence of Earth and even buff other people.
It was different from Ji Ye's Emperor Dragon Contract talent.
Ji Ye's talent allowed him to obtain extra power of providence from his subordinates, and he could use the power of providence to improve his subordinates' abilities so that they could create more value and give back more power of providence.
It seemed that the power of providence had increased, but in fact, it was only the change of the power of providence within a settlement. The total power of providence of Dragon City remained the same.
From that point of view, the arrival of any Legendary hero could significantly increase the comprehensive power of a settlement.
It might even involve the competition among the countries on Earth.
It was possible that the "extra power of providence" of the entire Earth civilization was limited. The national settlement that summoned more Legendary heroes would occupy more power of providence!
"Do you think the City Master has become a Legendary expert?"
Suddenly, Mister Bug opened his mouth and raised a question that silenced the entire conference room.
Everybody couldn't help but recall what happened after Ji Ye fused the True Dragon's Heart.
When he fought the green Flood Dragon, it shook the world like a god. Had he already become a Legendary expert?
"Not yet, but he will soon."
A voice echoed.
Before the voice died away, Ji Ye had already appeared on the main seat of the conference room.
Just as they speculated, Ji Ye did know something about Legends from the green Flood Dragon's memory pieces.
Speaking of which, the requirements to advance from the Transcendent level to the Legendary level weren't too complicated. They were as simple as they sounded. One had to accomplish something that was worthy of being called a Legendary expert on the Land of Inheritance.
For example, he had successfully survived. Not only did he change his fate, but he had also fused the Legendary True Dragon's Heart and killed the powerful green Flood Dragon.
To some extent, the series of events had fully satisfied the requirements of a Legendary expert.
However, Ji Ye didn't do it mainly with his own strength!
During the process of changing his fate, Li Chunfeng played a very important role. The Fusion talent, which was the core factor, was also part of his inheritance and wasn't entirely his own strength.
Part of the credit for killing the green Flood Dragon could be attributed to the mermaids' temporary betrayal.
Because of that, Ji Ye wasn't rated as a Legendary expert directly. Instead, he was rated as a Quasi expert!
However, that wasn't a big problem.
He had almost reached the Transcendent Rank-5 God level.
In the current phase, apart from the creatures left from the previous round like the green Flood Dragon, he should be at the top level!
As for the "players", even if they came from the "extraordinary planes", there was a high chance that they wouldn't be that strong. With absolute strength, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to achieve "Legendary".
"The City Master is here!"
"The City Master!"
The moment Ji Ye appeared, the heated discussion about the Wagang Army stopped, and they all greeted him.
None of them, including Qin Yueyu, who was in charge of the archer camp, and Li Qing, who was in charge of the sniper camp, saw how Ji Ye entered the conference room.
More importantly, even though Ji Ye didn't do anything on purpose, the people sitting in the conference room couldn't help but feel pressured.
It was mainly because before the battle in Guobei County, the most powerful monster that Dragon City had seen was only Transcendent Rank-2!
In the previous battle, they first saw Old Demon Black Mountain, who had reached Transcendent Rank-3 and commanded a mountain, ten thousand ghost soldiers, and the Yellow Turban Zombies to attack the city.
Then, they encountered the Transcendent Rank-4 green Flood Dragon, which covered half of Dragon City with a thunderstorm.
They even met the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and the Colorful Dragon, which had reached Transcendent Rank-5 in the end and could destroy the world with their long-range attacks alone.
They had a better understanding of Ji Ye's strength, and they couldn't help but feel awed!
"I've called everyone for this meeting.
"It's because I just received some important information."
Ji Ye didn't pay much attention to that. He went straight to the topic.
Ji Ye's tone was obviously solemn, which made the others' expressions turn serious.
"Everyone should know that the Dragon Race has inherited memories, and I discovered something in this green flood dragon's inherited memories …" Lin Yun said.
Weighing his words, Ji Ye went on.
"It's about the nature of the Land of Inheritance …"
As Ji Ye said that, the expressions of the people sitting in the room changed.
The Great Darkness, the destruction of civilizations, the Land of Sanctuary, the extraordinary dimension … All sorts of concepts and information shocked everyone, and they felt like a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts.
"So, I speculate that the so-called dragons, the Eagle Men, and the Mirage Monsters are all creatures from different planets in the same universe as us. The cultivation worlds, fantasy worlds, and magic worlds that we thought were actually special planes that were created to perfect the Land of Inheritance.
"There's no such thing as a universe. There's only one real universe, which is Earth!"
Ji Ye stated his speculation, or rather, his conclusion.
"So, the Great Darkness is actually the universe we live in? In the universe where Earth is, all lives will be destroyed! The Land of Inheritance is the only place where the tinder of civilization can be passed on. It's like Noah's Ark in western mythology, and we were lucky enough to get a ticket to the end of the world? "
Qin Yueyu's slightly red eyes widened as she stared at Ji Ye.
A pair of hands that could hold a bow and arrow with extreme stability, able to shoot through the air with even more precision than a bullet, right now, were clearly trembling a bit.
In fact, she wasn't the only one who was shaking.
Mister Bug, Li Qing, Guo Wei, and even Shang Yan, who was a psychiatrist, and Chu Yin, who had always been cold, were all shaking.
At this moment, their hearts were surging like tides.
How could they be calm?
Although everyone in the room was indeed holding a "ticket" in their hands, it was not a big deal.
In fact, due to Dragon City's development and progress, the tickets in everyone's hands had gradually increased to business class and even VIP class.
However, a lot of people on Earth didn't have a ticket yet.
Even at this moment, there were only slightly more than ten million players who had tickets, but the population of Earth was close to ten billion!
Who here didn't have family or friends?
Even Ji Ye, who enjoyed the treatment of the main character.
Some of the parents like Elder Meng and Elder Jiao had passed away, but they still had other family members.
These people did not even have a 'ticket'!
"Damn it. I didn't know that. Then I should've given the ticket I got after the advancement to my settlement to my mom … "
Mister Bug's face turned awful, and he sounded very impatient.
He received a ticket when Dragon City advanced to the Transcendent level last time.
In the end, he gave it to his cousin who was studying for a PhD. He had thought that the boy could be his advisor in the superpower camp to make up for his lack of intelligence.
Little did he know that the guy had become a nerd and was trying to write his PhD thesis on the Land of Inheritance in his settlement every day, hoping to win a prize and become famous on Earth. Mister Bug was infuriated!
Now that he learned that the universe on Earth would enter the Great Darkness, it meant that the ticket was much more precious than he had imagined.
He couldn't have regretted it more.
It must be noted that he had never liked studying and always caused trouble.
His father was in prison, he was a single parent, he got into fights, skipped school, wandered on the streets, carried knives … He had done almost all the bad things that normal people would think of him, except that he didn't smoke much.
He was a "negative example" to the teachers in the neighborhood.
However, his mother, who was weak and petite and even shorter than him in middle school, was the only exception.
She never said anything harsh to him.
Every time he got into trouble and ran away to hide, he would just silently watch.
She cried as she went out from house to house, bowing and apologizing to everyone, speaking humbly.
Then, when he came home at night, he would curse and even go on a hunger strike because he thought that he had lost face. She would heat the rice again and again while crying.
This repeated cry accompanied him from elementary school to high school dropout!
Although he had complained more than once in his heart that it was all because of his mother's weak character that she had led him astray.
However, when he accidentally obtained a place in the Land of Inheritance, a group of armed men came knocking on his door and yelled at him to leave, shutting the door tightly.
In the end, she even knelt in front of him for the first time.
Mister Bug, who thought that he was a hero, had bloodshot eyes. It was also the reason why he admitted defeat so easily after he entered Dragon City!
He didn't give her the ticket before.
It was because he didn't want her to enter the Land of Inheritance and see all kinds of terrifying monsters. She might even face the risk of death, even if it wasn't a real death.
Given her personality, she would probably be severely traumatized!
As a matter of fact, if she really entered the Land of Inheritance, even if she only saw him fighting aliens or monsters, covered in blood, half-dead, and with broken limbs, she would probably cry incessantly. That way, he would lose face as a commander in front of a bunch of superpower camp lackeys.
However, at this moment …
Compared to the risk she would face, his reputation was worthless!
