It was the 20th year of the Dawn Era.
Time flew by quickly. Unknowingly, 27 years had passed since the players arrived in Sag World. Even on the Blue Planet, almost 7 years had passed.
The new version of the game, Elven Kingdom: World Tree, had been running for 20 Segers for years.
In the past twenty years, more and more players had arrived. The old players had become legends, the rookies had become elites, and the new players had listened to the legendary stories told by the elite players with admiration. At the same time, they imagined that they could complete the epic hidden quest and become famous in the entire Segg universe.
With the dream of the future, they joined the war against pollution and conquering worlds.
As the conquering of planes continued, the map of Elven Kingdom snowballed, and the merging of planes became faster and faster.
At first, it was only one plane per year, then one every few months, and then one every few days. Gradually, one plane could be merged every day, and now … there might be more than one every day.
Unknowingly, more than 2,000 planes had been merged by the World Tree. This included not only the main material plane that was suitable for all kinds of creatures, but it also included all kinds of elemental planes of various sizes and even the dead planes …
Almost every day, new planes would be sublimated under the golden radiance, becoming part of the World Tree's leaf. Almost every day, more than one new plane would be located by the players who explored it, building Goddess Altars that could be leveled up into resurrection points or even spawn points. One after another, unfamiliar names became famous and left all kinds of legends in the endless void. One after another, lost planes were washed away by the arrival of the players and were reborn.
The names of the Elven Chosen Ones had spread throughout the entire Segg Universe.
Saviors, prophets, messengers, heroes …
There were too many praises and halos that enveloped them.
As the number of players increased, there would always be groups and individuals that went against the mainstream perception and behavior. However, in Elven Kingdom's highly strict mission system and punishment mechanism, the overall order was still good.
Time and time again, liberals denounced the reward and punishment mechanism and quest line of "Elven Nation" on the Internet, complaining that too many rules and regulations made the whole game restrictive. They could not do what they liked freely and could only listen to the system's arrangement.
The Catastrophists believed that the game was ultimately a game, and the players were players. Treating the stories and NPCs in "Elven Nation" as another world, and treating the so-called "programs" as their companions was simply laughable. In particular, the various protective mechanisms that were beneficial to the NPCs were what they hated the most.
These voices were most common among the new players.
However, no matter how many voices there were, they couldn't defeat the mainstream supporters of "Elven Nation", which had been the mainstream motto since the closed beta of "Elven Nation".
This is a game, but this is also our world …
If you want to play, then play. If you don't want to play, then get lost. This is "Elven Nation", a world built by us Elven Chosen Ones. This is our other home in the virtual world. We will not allow anyone to blaspheme it!
Eve wanted to shape the players' will as early as during the closed beta. Finally, through the reinforcement of the missions, the selection of rewards and punishments, and the development of the game year after year, it became a reality.
Of course, among all the players, the veteran players who participated in the closed beta were the ones who felt it the most.
They were also the group of people who were the most committed to the original order and rules of "Elven Nation".
The optimist was one of them.
As a former member of the strongest Clearers in "Elven Nation", he had always been passionate about "Elven Nation" and also regarded the NPCs in the game as real companions in another world.
Of course, the former strongest Clearers had disbanded with the departure of their leader, Boxed Lunchbox.
However, the former members of Boxed Lunchbox did not leave. Instead, after a period of silence, they gathered again and joined the Mengmeng Committee's Pioneer Group to serve as the leaders of the Pioneer Group.
The Pioneer Group was a variant of the Clearers. It began to appear after the new version of "Elven Nation", "World Tree", and was successfully integrated by the World Tree. After the design of the Magic Gathering Core was put on the shop, it gradually improved and finally officially formed.
Huh?
You're asking why the shop has the long-lost Magic Gathering Core Design?
Don't ask, it's a benefit of the System.
Unlike the regular Clearers, the Pioneer Group only had one goal, and that was to find a new plane in the World of Segers, establish coordinates in the new plane, and build a stronghold for the subsequent cutting of the World Tree to prepare for the arrival of more players.
To put it bluntly, they were the vanguard of the expedition to other planes.
The Pioneer Group was often active in various parts of the World of Segers, looking for possible plane passages. Once they found one, they would enter with prepared materials, conduct preliminary exploration, and establish coordinates.
This was a preemptive action, so … during the exploration, different Pioneer Group often had conflicts. Even if there was a punishment mechanism, they would often fight to the death.
This was especially true for the World of Dawn, where they almost fought to the death during the exploration.
Since then, "Elven Nation" had updated the rules of exploration and officially established the exploration system for new worlds.
According to the updated rules after the integration of the World of Dawn, the exploration rights of the new world belonged to the first group to establish coordinates in the plane.
Once the coordinates were established, the System would determine that only the members of the group had the right to cut the World Tree and establish a resurrection point in the plane.
Of course, the System didn't prohibit the transfer of exploration rights.
Because of this, a large number of solo players and players from small guilds formed Pioneer Group to search for planes, hoping that after they found a plane, they could transfer the exploration rights to the big guilds and gain a huge amount of wealth.
These players were called Pioneer Players.
Of course, not all Pioneer Players were from small guilds. The Pioneer Group led by Optimist and the others relied on one of the most powerful guilds in "Elven Nation", the Mengmeng Committee.
Since the dawn of the plane exploration era, Optimist and the others had located more than 20 planes in the past decade or so.
This achievement was unique even among all the Pioneer Group. Optimist and the others used their own actions to prove that even without their leader, they could continue on. They were still the strongest in "Elven Nation"!
And today, they were going to continue on their journey.
However, this operation was a little different from the past …
World of Segers, Elven Forest.
Optimist stood on the roof of the Mengmeng Committee's branch building in the City of Heaven's Chosen, looking at the sky with an amazed expression.
Above the City of Heaven's Chosen, a magnificent floating city was floating above the city. The soaring Megalosaurus and various flying magical beasts were shuttling back and forth. On their backs, players of all shapes and sizes could be seen.
The entire floating city was circular. Compared to a city, it looked more like a large castle fortress. Its area was estimated to be more than 10 square kilometers.
The floating city's energy core was six super-large magic energy gathering cores brought back from the World of Dawn. The entire city was designed by the Mengmeng Committee's Magical Technology Research Center and jointly built by several major guilds. It could accommodate more than 200,000 people at most.
The floating city was equipped with more than 1,000 super-large magic crystal cannons, each of which had the power of a Gold rank. In addition, there were ten improved magic energy cannons. After charging, their destructive power could reach the Legendary rank.
However, this was not the most powerful. The most powerful part of the floating city was the enchantment magic and divine defensive barrier personally drawn by the Demigod Wizard Daniel. Through the prayers of the God's Chosen, Her Holiness the Goddess personally descends to cast her blessings.
The power of a god was enough to change everything. After Goddess Eve cast her blessings, the floating city's divine defensive barrier, once fully activated, would add an incredible bonus to the entire city.
In the words of the Demigod Keretz, this terrifying mobile fortress could even kill a Demigod when fully activated.
And this also made the floating city's chief designer, Gugu Niao, very emotional. A True God was a True God after all. In an Extraordinary world with gods, no matter how powerful the technology was, it could not compare to the bonus of a True God's blessing.
The above was the information publicly available on the official website.
Thinking back to the information he had read, the optimist was truly in awe. He clearly remembered that when he first came to the game, everyone was still cutting trees and building thatched houses. Only a few years had passed, and even a floating city had been created.
However, he and his teammates did not return to the City of Heaven's Chosen today to see this floating fortress.
This time, they were going to board it.
"So … are we going to ride it out of the World of Segers? Can we really succeed? "
Optimist could not help but ask as he looked at the guild leader, Salty Meow, and the vice leader, Gugu Niao, beside him.
"Of course, Brother Optimist. Our destination this time is the World of Segers. There is no plane channel, or rather … there might have been one, but it was irreversibly destroyed. If we want to go there, we can only use this method."
Salty Meow said.
As she spoke, she sighed.
"As you know, in the future, the difficulty of developing planes through the World of Segers will definitely get higher and higher. Only by walking out of the plane and stepping into the void will there be more possibilities."
Hearing her words, Optimist and the others secretly nodded.
Salty Meow was right.
Ever since the launch of the new expansion pack, plane adventures had become the mainstream activity of players. Plane development activities had also gradually reached a climax with the appearance of the development rights protection rules.
Almost every day, there would be new discoveries on the pipeline network. While the players were amazed by the incredible plane map of Elven Nation, they also yearned for the sea of stars in the game more and more.
However, after more than ten years, more and more plane channels were discovered by the players, and there were fewer and fewer plane channels that had yet to be discovered.
Although the World of Segers could be called the center of the entire universe, not all planes had a channel that led there. When all the channels were found, there would eventually be a moment when the plane development reached a bottleneck.
And now, there was such a trend.
Although the news of new planes being found was still increasing every day, after analyzing the big data, the players of the Mengmeng Committee had long discovered that the average time for the discovery of each plane was increasing.
In other words, the difficulty of developing new planes had already begun to increase.
It had not yet appeared because as the scale of the players and the average level increased, more and more players joined the development activities.
Obviously, as time passed and the number of players continued to increase, the difficulty of discovering new planes through the plane channel of the World of Segers would definitely increase until it was impossible to find new planes.
It was inevitable to develop planes through other methods.
The most likely possibility was to leave the plane and embark on a journey in the boundless void.
"But … does this floating city really have the ability to travel in the void? And … can its speed support us in finding new planes? That's the void, which is analogous to the space of the Bluestar. To be honest … according to the crazy scale of Elven Nation, I seriously suspect that we won't necessarily encounter a plane even if we float in the void for more than ten years. "
Optimist asked again.
This was his biggest doubt.
Salty Meow smiled.
"Don't worry, I've already asked Big Sis and Merril to appraise it. Our floating city already has the ability to cross planes and fly in the void. It's enough to take everyone out, and … there's also a resurrection point specially built on it."
"As for its speed … you don't have to worry. Lord Daniel helped us engrave a single-point directional ultra-long-distance teleportation circle on it. After entering the void, we can rely on continuous teleportation to travel, and each teleportation can cover a maximum distance as large as the entire continent of Segers …"
"Also, I've asked Merril, who's been to the void. The setting of the boundless void in Elven Nation is different from the space of the Bluestar. In the void, planes materialize as light clusters of different sizes, and the area of each light cluster isn't large. The area of each light cluster can even reach 1: 100000."
"In other words, our Plane of Saegus only looks like a ball of light that's a few thousand square kilometers wide in the Void. It's probably only a few hundred kilometers wide. We'll only discover something else after we enter."
"Not only that, it's said that the void of the universe of Segers isn't as vast as the space of the Bluestar … Merril said that even a legendary wizard can see a new plane after flying for ten days to half a month, not to mention that we're using teleportation leaps!"
Hearing Salty Meow's words, the optimist fell into deep thought, while the calabash asked curiously.
"Teleportation leaps? Does our guild have that much money to support teleportation leaps again and again? The ultra-long-distance teleportation circle is super expensive, especially when it's such a big thing, and it's single-point directional teleportation … "
"You don't have to worry about that. The boundless void is filled with Void energy. After the Goddess gave us her blessing, our floating city has the power to recharge with Void energy."
Cuckoo adjusted its glasses as it spoke.
"I see."
The calabash was enlightened.
"Not to mention … our destination has already been decided. After leaving the world of Segers, we just have to go straight to it."
Salty Meow smiled again.
"Already decided? Where is it? "
The optimist was slightly taken aback.
Salty Meow smiled, but his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Brother Optimist, do you still remember the Thunder Tribe?"
