In the player base of Yang City on Earth.
Ji Ye, who hadn't logged off for a long time, logged on the forum of the Land of Inheritance to see if there was any news about the Great Darkness after he returned to Earth.
Of course, he didn't search with terms such as "apocalypse" or "darkness" but simply browsed through the forum.
Dragon City defeated the Transcendent mermaids and mermen and defended the glory of the best settlement!
The best player on Earth! After killing Old Demon Black Mountain and the green Flood Dragon, the Master of Dragon City had become a Legendary?
…
The first place on the homepage was a few battle reports from Dragon City.
Dragon City restricted the players from logging off and forbade them from leaking information about the summer on the forum.
However, a lot of players died in the battle.
Some players even streamed the battle at the cost of Rare Honor on the battlefield!
Therefore, the battle received a lot of attention on Earth as soon as it started.
This was especially so when Dragon City's army was ambushed when they went out to fight against Old Demon Black Mountain. They were fighting on two fronts, and they were attacked from both sides.
Old Demon Black Mountain, who drove a huge black mountain that even nuclear bombs couldn't kill, and the green Flood Dragon, who suppressed the entire sky of Dragon City with only one clone.
Or the mermaids and mermen who raised the ocean and drowned the city.
Either of them was unimaginably terrifying for the ordinary people on Earth who weren't players!
Even some of the players who had died and were still in the "Forbidden to Log in" period felt a little hopeless.
It was because those powers were beyond their understanding.
Because of that, when the heroes couldn't make it back in time and Dragon City was at a disadvantage …
Immediately, many comments appeared on the forum.
"Dragon City is too arrogant. It attacked with all its troops, leaving its rear undefended. It doesn't know the art of war at all. Dragon City is the best settlement based on luck. Hehe. The best settlement on Earth?" "The Avengers advanced one week later than Dragon City. How can they claim to be the best?" … and so on.
Most of the comments were made in a language other than Chidragon.
Humans were complicated. The Land of Inheritance was a competition between different races, but it wasn't a competition within the same race.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be divided into different countries, regions, and cultural backgrounds.
Many foreigners were not happy to see Dragon City become the strongest settlement on Earth. Now that it was facing destruction, it was inevitable that some people would gloat over it.
Even "Dragon City's settlement is destroyed" was one of the top three most searched topics on the first page!
Of course, after Dragon City turned the tide and defeated the enemy, those people were all slapped in the face. In particular, Ji Ye turned into the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon that symbolized Chidragon and killed the Colorful Dragon that the Flood Dragon turned into. The people of Chidragon were even more confident.
"Dragon City is the best! Chidragon is the best!"
"Chidragon is the best! Chidragon is the best!"
"Five thousand years of history and culture. How can these barbarians compare to us? That's right, I'm talking about you. That's only 300 years old. Even the history books aren't as thick as ours. "
"Ah San next door, look carefully. Dragon City's mount isn't some Garuda, it's our Golden-winged Roc!"
Hundreds of millions of people posted crazily on the forum and pushed all the posts about Dragon City to the first page. It was like a carnival. Even the forum server, which had been modified with the technology exchanged for the Power of Inheritance, was lagging.
"If the news of the Great Darkness is leaked, the forum will probably explode!"
In the base, Ji Ye shook his head and thought to himself.
Of course, he wouldn't really do that.
Once the news of the Great Darkness was leaked, Earth might not have such a carnival again, not to mention that he would ruin the fun.
However, Ji Ye had never been interested in those who "live-streamed" the battles, especially when Rare Honor might be related to "tickets".
It seemed that he should manage the players of Dragon City after he went online.
Sakura's Konoha settlement and Ameagle's Gotham settlement passed the advancement test. There were a hundred Transcendent settlements on Earth!
After reading many posts about Dragon City for a long time, Ji Ye finally found the information he needed.
A settlement in Sakura had advanced into the Transcendent level, and a settlement in Ameagle, which ranked third, had advanced too. As a result, the number of Transcendent settlements on Earth reached three digits!
"Only a hundred?"
"That's a lot less than I expected."
"It seems that the competition in A Hundred Barges is much more difficult than the Ten-Species Competition.
Of course, it was not only because "a hundred" was ten times more than "ten", but also because the competitors in A Hundred Vying Barges were all the victors of the Ten-Species Competition. There couldn't be any weak ones!
Besides, "a hundred" was just an empty word. The real number of competitors was far more than a hundred.
Also, the further one advanced, the more difficult it would be.
If a competing settlement in A Hundred Vying Barges advanced to the Transcendent level before it did, the settlement core would have to use part of its power of providence to test the new settlement. Once the new settlement successfully advanced, the power of providence would be lost, and the new settlement would benefit the new settlement instead.
The settlement that made the advancement first would be even more powerful because of the power of providence. During the advancement test, the other settlements would even be faced with Transcendent villains that were transformed from the power of providence of the settlement!
It also meant that the further one advanced, the less likely it was to advance.
According to the statistics of the Confederation Office, there were about five thousand settlements from Earth on the Land of Inheritance.
"However, only about five hundred of them will eventually advance to the Transcendent level. Compared to the initial quota of more than five hundred settlements, the elimination rate is more than 99%."
Ji Ye felt that his heart was heavy.
Most of the settlements that had persisted to this point were very strong and had many famous heroes.
For example, the Mount Shu settlement, the Star Wars settlement, the Winterfell settlement, the Unmoving City of Magic Devourer settlement …
However, up to this point in time.
Those settlements probably wouldn't have a chance to be the first to advance.
It also meant that the continent they were on would have nothing to do with human beings. Even if they could advance to the Transcendent level, it would be difficult for them to pass the Road to Legendary.
"Maybe only a few dozen or even fewer will become Legendary in the end!"
Ji Ye truly felt that he was under a lot of pressure.
From five hundred thousand at the beginning to fifty at the end, that would still be considered Legendary.
As for the Mythical level …
Perhaps they would have to go through a competition similar to the Thousand Sails Race in order to advance. Even Dragon City might not succeed!
"Huh?"
While he was browsing, Ji Ye saw a new thread that shocked him. A player was reincarnated into a cannibal settlement and was cooked and eaten alive!
"What's going on?
"Is it possible that players won't be disqualified after they die too many times. Instead, they'll be reincarnated in other settlements of alien races?"
Ji Ye was slightly stunned.
If that was the case, wouldn't it be even crueler?
After a player died, nothing but Rare Honor could be kept. The beta testers only had one chance to keep their talents!
It meant that they would be completely useless after they were reincarnated in other settlements. There was no chance for them to survive at all.
So, when the Great Darkness arrived, even if there was only a slim chance of survival, the players would still enter it without caring about anything, wouldn't they?
Even being treated as pets or food by aliens would be better than that …
However, it might not be a good thing to have such a way of retreat. It might even destroy the players' fighting spirit!
"After your third death, you chose to be reincarnated regretfully. After a flash of white light, you appeared in a shabby temple of a settlement wearing nothing but underwear that could only cover your private parts.
"There was a burst of happy cheers around you. A group of people in simple clothes rushed out and surrounded you. Their eyes were shining with excitement and hospitality."
"Some of them even knelt before the altar and cheered loudly.
"Although you couldn't understand what they were saying because of the language barrier, you could clearly sense the sincere joy on their faces.
"You saw that they started a fire, set up a pot, and danced a rough and beautiful bonfire dance. They even sent out two passionate beauties to undress you and wipe your body with clean water …
"You're already thinking about using your identity as the Chosen One to live the life of an emperor in this backward primitive settlement. Then, they added salt, spices, and pepper to the pot. Then, they all looked at you with weird smiles on their faces …
"What is this …"
Looking at this somewhat anti-human feeling of the second person.
Ji Ye frowned and realized that it was actually a "clickbait".
In reality, a player had reincarnated into a settlement that had been attacked by the Amazon "cannibals" and imprisoned a player in this settlement.
Because the player did not have enough Rare Honor points to re-enter after another death, he was unwilling to commit suicide to avoid losing his qualification as a player. As a result, the settlement core's summoning function was always on.
After some new players entered, they immediately became food for the cannibals!
It could be said that a large number of people had been harmed because of a single person.
"Such a thing actually happened!"
"In that case, all the more we can't announce the news of the Great Darkness."
Ji Ye's heart became even heavier.
He had always thought that the villains and villains in the Land of Inheritance were just there to give players EXP and equipment.
From the looks of it, this might be one of the tests that the Land of Inheritance had for a civilization!
If a civilization was too "evil", they would probably be killed by their own people.
Ji Ye browsed through the forum but didn't find any information about the Great Darkness.
It seemed that Dragon City was indeed the first to receive the news.
Therefore, without any hesitation, he picked up the internal phone in his room and called Senior Brother Zhou, who was in charge of the player base in Yang City.
"Senior Brother Zhou, can you reach No.1 of the Confederation Office of Chidragon?"
…
Several hours later, a special plane landed in the three-star airport of Yang City.
Dozens of minutes later, a fleet of vehicles accompanied by a lot of people drove into the player base in Yang City!
"Young Friend Ji, I've heard a lot about you!"
In the meeting room, a tall, thin old man with a plain face shook hands with Ji Ye with a smile.
"Leader, I didn't expect you to come in person."
Ji Ye looked at the old man and couldn't help but feel excited, because the man was one of the decision-makers of Chidragon.
He didn't expect that the man would come to Dragon City in person.
"Young Friend Ji, thank you for bringing us the news. You've saved us from being too passive!"
Beside the tall and skinny old man, there was another old man with a gentle face who had a slightly worried look on his face.
He was the director of the Confederation Office of Chidragon and the deputy leader of the country.
As the person in charge of government affairs, he had already considered the huge impact of this piece of news at the first moment.
He had been holding a remote meeting with the Confederation Government with the latest 3D projection technology, and he came to Yang City with the leader as soon as the meeting was over!
It was safe to say that he attached great importance to Ji Ye's news.
As a matter of fact, it was indeed worth it. It concerned the life and death of the entire Chidragon and even all the people on Earth.
"Alas, it's a shame that the Confederation Government voted to ban the player base in today's meeting. I said that we need to consider the decision carefully."
To be honest, the deputy leader was rather worried.
The Confederation Government banned the player base.
A large part of the reason was that in Western culture, people were very particular about the so-called "human rights" and "freedom."
Many people thought that the player base was a scheme of the Confederation Government. As the players grew stronger and stronger, they even formed a common interest with some large financial groups, which eventually pushed for the player base to be disbanded. However, it was easy to disband a player base, but it would be very difficult to establish it again.
Well, unless …
"My young friend Ji, I have a personal request that I hope you can consider."
The deputy leader raised his head and looked at Ji Ye.
"Please go ahead."
"I hope that you can keep the news about the Great Darkness a secret for some time. I mean, only Chidragon has the right to know the news.
"Rest assured, we'll certainly release it to the public, but we need some time to prepare."
The deputy leader looked at Ji Ye solemnly.
"That … That's not a problem."
Ji Ye nodded.
As a Chidragon native, he naturally wouldn't turn it down.
In fact, it was also the reason why he contacted his superiors through the Confederation Office.
Although the Confederation Office was under the jurisdiction of the Confederation Government in name, it was the governments of other countries that really maintained it.
However, if he did that …
Once the Confederation Government learned of it, the other countries would probably blame Chidragon. After all, the Confederation Office was established for everybody to share information.
Chidragon would keep the news a secret, even if it was only for a few days.
Some people in other countries wouldn't be able to react in time, and they would suffer huge losses.
"I'll take responsibility for my mistake.
"Back when the Confederation Government was established, Chidragon was doubted and criticized by the Western countries."
The leader smiled generously.
He wasn't tall, but he sounded extremely determined.
"My young friend Ji!
"The entire Chidragon will fully support the development of Dragon City's settlement. You can contact us if you need anything!"
Both the leader and the deputy leader sounded very sincere.
With the promise of these two, there would naturally be no problem with the "loan".
Because the news had been kept under wraps by the Chidragon government, they couldn't use their Honor points as collateral!
Furthermore, because the news hadn't been fully publicized, Dragon City couldn't receive the theoretical "huge amount of Honor". However, as compensation, they would receive the support funds for settlements with potential in Chidragon's name!
After taking care of the funds, Ji Ye didn't waste any more time and went online again.
