"Don't be hasty. I don't think the Great Darkness will arrive immediately. According to the current information, the last time the Land of Inheritance was opened was at least a thousand years ago. The universe hasn't been destroyed yet, has it?"
Elder Jiao patted Mister Bug's shoulder and comforted him.
Having lived for more than eighty years, he was in his twilight years before the Land of Inheritance was opened. He was more open-minded about life and death than other people.
However, both he and Elder Meng had more juniors in their families than Mister Bug's family did.
He felt rather heavy-hearted after hearing the news.
Previously, after obtaining the quota, apart from Su Nongying, no one present chose to give the quota to their loved ones.
On one hand, it was because everybody here was a real elder of Dragon City, and they were all in important positions, so they had received much more Rare Honor than ordinary people.
Therefore, many people would trade Rare Honor for Extraordinary items that could build up their bodies or even prolong their lives for their family. Also, the products that Dragon City and Su Mingcheng's company developed had been released to the market.
It was very easy for their family members to live a healthy life of a hundred years or even longer on Earth. There was no need for players to enter Dragon City.
It must be noted that Dragon City was still developing, and nobody in Dragon City was willing to keep idle people.
Even when Ji Ye gave his spot to his cousin, she was assigned to the most dangerous virus workshop as an assistant.
Their parents couldn't live there either.
In comparison, wouldn't it be better to live a comfortable life on Earth?
Of course, the most important thing was …
In fact, everybody had been wary and suspicious about the purpose of the Land of Inheritance. They all thought that they should wait until they figured out the inside story of the Land of Inheritance before taking their families in!
However, now that they had figured out the inside story, they all regretted it.
In fact, most of the people here weren't too bad.
The few people who didn't participate in this small meeting and sold their spots.
They would probably regret it even more after learning the truth.
The price of a player spot in Dragon City was more than ten billion after the competition, and it was still billions after tax!
But the problem was that the ticket to Noah's Ark was worth more than half of the wealth of the top 100 richest people in the world, let alone billions. And that was under the condition that they didn't necessarily have to choose Dragon City, and the duration of the Great Darkness was still uncertain.
However, the world was about to be destroyed. Was there any meaning to the money on Earth?
Billions, tens of billions, and hundreds of billions were just numbers or waste paper. What was really valuable was the "money" in the Land of Inheritance, such as Civilization Coins, Honor, and Rare Honor!
"Right, speaking of rare merit points."
"I suggest that you don't use it indiscriminately in the future. Don't exchange for too many items on Earth. Try to save them as much as possible."
Ji Ye suddenly said.
"Since the Rare Honor is related to the exchange of items between Earth and the Land of Inheritance, what about the quota to enter the Land of Inheritance?"
"Perhaps it's also something that can be exchanged with Rare Honor Points!"
When everyone's gazes were focused on him, he continued to speak.
"That's possible!"
Apart from Elder Meng, who seemed to have thought of this, the rest of the people in the room held the teapot steadily.
The rest of the people shuddered.
Needless to say, this possibility existed, and it was quite high.
Some conditions might have to be met, such as the settlement reaching a certain level, or an individual receiving a certain "rating" to be qualified for the exchange.
But it wasn't entirely hopeless.
In particular, for Dragon City, completing the Road to Legendary quest was very likely to make it into a Legendary settlement.
Besides, since the Great Darkness would arrive one day, all the lives in the universe would be destroyed.
Therefore, exchanging Rare Honor for some technology and discovering Earth's civilization would be very meaningful.
"This Land of Inheritance is a bit of a scam!
"We can't reveal this information in advance. Many players have been competing to exchange Rare Honor for resources, haven't they?"
Mister Bug complained.
Scams seemed to be the style of the Land of Inheritance.
For example, the beta test, the Transcendent advancement test, and the quota allocation in each round weren't very friendly. People always felt that there was a scam.
Perhaps it was because the Land of Inheritance had limited space and had to be filtered in such a way.
"Actually, it's not entirely meaningless for them to exchange for technology and resources.
"It's like everyone knows that they will die one day, but they can still live a wonderful life.
"The quota on the Land of Inheritance is limited, and some people can't get tickets. So, it'll be a comfort for them to enjoy the benefits brought by the progress of technology and civilization before the Great Darkness arrives."
Shang Yan said.
"Also, by exchanging for technology, some advanced civilizations might be able to find a way to avoid the Great Darkness without going to the Land of Inheritance! In that case, they can reduce the burden on the ship so that the low-level civilizations like us can have more seats! "
She used to be a psychiatrist who was responsible for solving psychological problems for players and natives. She was used to talking to people in a positive way.
"Let's hope so."
Hearing Shang Yan's words, Li Qing and the others were indeed more spirited.
Ji Ye, however, didn't say anything.
He didn't know who the creator of the Land of Inheritance was.
But to be able to gather a lot of civilizations and species and even build some special planes, it had to be a godly civilization in science fiction.
Such an existence could only take refuge by establishing the Land of Inheritance instead of taking care of the source of the Great Darkness. Regular civilizations still relied on the technology they acquired from the Land of Inheritance. How likely were they to avoid the Great Darkness?
Besides, technically speaking …
The term "Great Darkness" was only translated by Ji Ye through the mental waves in the green Flood Dragon's memory. It might not be accurate.
The real apocalypse might be even more dreadful than the literal "darkness"!
However, there was no need to say it out loud to increase people's panic.
"Next, we need to decide whether or not we should send the intelligence back to Earth.
"If we do, should we announce it on the forum of the Inheritance or submit it to the Confederation Office in secret? Or should we do it in another way? "
Ji Ye opened his mouth and moved on to the next topic.
Hearing that, everybody fell silent again.
Needless to say, the information about the Great Darkness would definitely cause a huge uproar once it was sent back to Earth.
The leadership of Dragon City had seen a lot of things, and they had developed great courage in the battles against aliens. They were able to deal with the situation calmly even when they were on the verge of death.
But after hearing the news about the Great Darkness, all of them reacted so violently, and this was under the circumstance that everyone present had a 'ticket'.
It was not hard to imagine how the people on Earth who didn't have seats would react when they heard the news.
The entire Earth might fall into chaos. Even the Confederate government might not be able to control the situation!
"I think we should send the news back!
"To some extent, the players are lucky enough to get the places on the Land of Inheritance. However, these places are also obtained because of the intelligent civilization that has been created bit by bit by countless generations of people on Earth!
"Without the support of the entire civilization, we wouldn't have had the tickets. So, we should send the news back to Earth! "
Elder Meng suddenly put down his teacup and stood up. He spoke sincerely, which was rare for him.
Those who could be summoned by the Land of Inheritance were all intelligent civilizations. Even the Sludge Monsters could use tools to fight and communicate.
For a group of people to become "players", apart from personal luck, it was also because the entire human civilization had reached a certain level!
"Actually, that's what the City Master was planning to do, wasn't it? Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the second question. "
Elder Meng paused and looked at Ji Ye.
As Elder Meng said, Ji Ye was more inclined to send the information about the Great Darkness back to Earth, because there was no need to keep it a secret.
Besides, even if Dragon City didn't say anything, the other settlements would learn about it when they developed to a certain extent.
The only problem was, how should he send the information?
Should he publish it on the forum of the Land of Inheritance, or should he only inform the Confederation Office?
That seemed a little weird.
The forum of the Land of Inheritance was established by the Confederate government, and so was the Confederation Office.
What was the difference between the two?
In fact, they were very different.
The information was too shocking.
The Confederate government wouldn't publish it immediately after they received it. They would even list it as a top secret and only spread it among a small group of people.
As for which small group of people, there was no need to mention it.
After all, the Land of Inheritance had only been opened for a few months. It was far from enough time to change the status of the privileged class.
If the information was published on the forum of the Land of Inheritance, even if the Confederate government deleted the post as soon as possible, the news would spread out and soon, all human beings would learn about it.
"It's fair for everyone to publish it directly, but I'm afraid it's not a good choice."
Elder Jiao sighed.
Yes, it was the fairest solution, but it wasn't a good choice.
If everyone knew about the "end of the world", and if the Confederate government was completely unprepared, how chaotic would the social order be?
Burning, robbing, abandoning themselves to despair, and committing vicious crimes weren't the biggest problem.
Everyone was in a state of panic, and no longer had the mood to do anything. A large number of people were in a state of mental breakdown.
There was also the possibility that some people who were mentally unbalanced would specifically attack "players" and people related to players.
If something happened to Earth, their home base, and their families couldn't be safe, the players on the Land of Inheritance would be affected too. They wouldn't be able to focus on the competition and battle against aliens!
It must be noted that the tickets in the players' hands didn't mean that they could really board the ship.
Once all the settlements of the Earth civilization failed on the Land of Inheritance, nobody would be able to enter the Land of Inheritance without the guidance of the settlement's power of providence.
By then, it would be the real end of the world.
Perhaps, how to resolve the crisis caused by the information was the greatest test of the Land of Inheritance for a civilization!
