In the endless void, the base of the World Tree.
Accompanied by a dazzling radiance, a majestic floating fortress appeared in the void. It was the floating city that the players had spent almost a decade building in the game.
Optimist and the others sat in the command room, looking out through the crystal window with awe in their eyes.
In the deep void, the towering World Tree seemed to be holding up the entire universe. Dense balls of light were scattered around the World Tree, like stars that surrounded and protected the World Tree.
Those were planes that drifted away from the World Tree.
Even further away, the dazzling galaxy formed from planes formed the backdrop of the universe of Segers.
Looking at the deep starry sky and the World Tree that left every player in awe, at that moment … everyone felt their own insignificance.
"How beautiful …"
Salty Meow's gaze stopped on the World Tree that was emitting a gentle halo, a hint of intoxication appeared in his eyes.
Demacia who came with Li Mu had a glint in his eyes, as if he smelled a business opportunity …
There was no doubt that as the players officially stepped into the void and the World Tree's true form was once again displayed before their eyes, another famous scenic spot in 'Elven Nation' would be added.
Still, while the players were stunned by the depth of the void and the magnificence of the World Tree, they did not forget their mission this time.
"Set coordinates, activate teleportation core!"
"Teleportation core activated, beginning charging …"
Orders after orders were issued from the command center of the Dingyuan. The six towers that housed the mana gathering cores of the towering floating city abruptly emitted magical radiance, and a bright hexagram circle appeared above the floating city.
Then, a huge vortex appeared at the center of the circle. A terrifying suction force came, sucking in the surrounding Void energy …
Massive amounts of Void energy poured into the center of the circle, which was also the core of the floating city — the World Tree branch. The World Tree branch abruptly brightened, activating [Devour] and [Assimilate] to convert the Void energy into the mana required by the floating city.
"Charging complete!"
"Checking coordinates, prepare for teleportation!"
"Counting down … Ten, nine, eight, seven …"
Following the cooing of the cooing bird, the entire floating city gradually lit up. Specks of golden light once again appeared around the Dingyuan.
The number of photons increased as they revolved around the floating fortress.
When the countdown ended, the entire floating city was bathed in an ocean of light, just like the moment when the world of Segers entered the portal of light.
"Teleport!"
An order was given.
Immediately afterward, the light suddenly became brighter, and the entire floating city seemed to have turned into a star.
Accompanied by an explosion, a circular spatial shock suddenly spread out, turning into ripples, and a wormhole-like vortex appeared where the floating city was, swallowing it.
The next moment, the entire world fell silent.
Almost at the same time, in another direction, an area the size of the continent of Segers where the floating city vanished slowly formed a wormhole-like vortex, with the floating city's silhouette streaking out from within.
The teleportation was a success.
Seeing this scene, the technical players on the floating city cheered.
Although they had already simulated the teleportation many times with the help of various parameters of "Elven Nation" in various virtual software, everyone was still very excited when the teleportation was actually successful in the game.
This proved that the players were about to embark on a new adventure in "Elven Nation" with their own efforts.
They weren't just players, but also the creators of the game.
"There's still 91.3% of the journey to the coordinates. It's estimated to teleport another ten times!"
The cooing bird monitoring the star map reported.
"How long will it take?"
Li Mu asked.
"About … three days."
The cooing bird replied.
"Three days?"
The optimist and the others were stunned.
The cooing bird explained.
This kind of large-scale fixed-point, one-way, ultra-long-distance teleportation is too stressful and exhausting on the magic circle and inscription runes. After each teleportation, it has to be repaired again. "
"Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the teleportation will fail, and might even cause a void storm."
"So that's how it is."
Everyone was enlightened.
After the first teleportation, the cooing bird led the technical players to repair the magic circle and prepare for the second teleportation. Meanwhile, the other players were either curiously touring the Dingyuan or simply standing on the floating city's surface to admire the beautiful scenery of the void.
Although they would be spending a considerable amount of time on the floating fortress, as voluntary players, it was almost their first time setting foot on this majestic floating city. It was also their first time leaving the world of Segers and entering the void. Naturally, they were filled with curiosity.
At the same time, in the online world of Bluestar, the entire internet fell into a new frenzy following the departure of the Dingyuan.
At a glance, the internet was filled with news related to the game. Various video websites were also flooded with uploaded videos. Even some chat software and WeChat friend circles were discussing the Dingyuan.
Its popularity was no longer just a simple online game.
Actually, it made sense when one thought about it.
Early on, when Elven Nation only had a million players, the game was already world-famous due to its superior quality and various unique black technologies compared to other virtual MMOs.
Unlike many games, in addition to having a large number of gamers who had a low withdrawal rate that was enough to make any game company die of envy, it also had an even larger group of supporters. Their love for Elven Kingdom was no less than that of many gamers.
And that was the cloud players of Elven Nation.
Or rather … the "audience" of the game "Elf Nation".
That's right, the audience.
For many netizens who did not have the qualifications to play the game, learning about the various stories of Elven Nation was a joy.
Especially as the number of players increased, all kinds of secondary creations with "Elven Kingdom" as the core also exploded.
It could not be helped. Elven Nation had too much freedom, and was considered the best breeding ground for Doujinshi creations and freelance movie design.
As the number of players increased, various excellent Doujinshi novels, movies set with Elven Nation as the setting, and even web dramas sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Just like the popularity of Elven music, the entire Bluestar was swept up in the popularity of Elven Nation.
Of course, this was also because Elven Nation had completely opened up the adaptation copyright of the game, allowing anyone and any group to make any secondary creations for profit or for profit.
And those who liked Elven Nation due to various derivative products but did not have a slot were called cloud players of Elven Nation.
It was speculated that the number of cloud players of Elven Nation was likely to be ten times or even dozens of times more than the number of real players.
It was precisely because of this that Elven Nation had far more influence than the number of players.
The above was the influence of Elven Nation when the number of players exceeded a million.
And now, the total number of players in the entire game was close to twenty million, and it was still increasing at an even faster rate.
As the map of Elven Nation expanded rapidly, the number of slots available each time also increased.
However, even if there were too many slots available, they were almost all taken up in an instant.
Elven Nation was too popular …
Not only did its popularity not die down over the years, but it also reached a new height as the map expanded step by step, and the game was opened to the world.
Today, almost everyone in Bluestar knew about Elven Nation.
Even if it was an old man sunbathing on the street, if you asked him, he would say a few words about "Elven Nation".
Thinking back, as the number of players increased, there were players who were worried that the map of Elven Nation would not be able to accommodate too many people.
After all … this game only had one server, and it strictly adhered to the "authenticity" mechanism.
There were very few places in the game where wild monsters were spawned. Even monsters needed normal time to reproduce, just like living creatures in reality.
Resources were limited.
Even the few pioneers from the optimistic faction thought the same way back then.
The optimists even carefully thought about how the official website of Elven Nation would solve the problem of resource depletion in the world of Segers as the number of players increased.
However, today, no players were worried about this.
There was no other reason except that the map was too ridiculously large.
Recently, there were crazy new super-large maps online every day. Even the smallest plane map was enough to crush other large-scale virtual MMORPGs famous for their exploration freedom.
Sometimes, when exploring a plane, one might not encounter another player for months …
The optimists' worries had long changed from too many players putting too much pressure on the world of Segers, to how to gather more people when expanding the plane …
There was no helping it. There were too many maps, and everyone had too many choices.
However, that was not what the optimists were concerned about now.
His mind was now full of how to greet the Thunder Tribe after meeting them.
Apart from the optimists, there was another person who showed even stronger motivation and hope for this mission.
That was the famous NPC who had followed the players to the Dingyuan. The Goddess's Chosen, the Saintess of the Church of Life — Alice.
Staying in the command room, the beautiful Saintess was restless. Every once in a while, she could not help but ask when the next teleportation would be activated.
It was obvious that she could not wait to meet her companions from the Thunder Tribe.
On the other hand, another superhuman NPC who was also sitting in the command room, the Goddess Eve's Chosen, Lady Zero, looked much calmer.
Even the players seemed to be more excited than her.
The rest of the journey was not difficult.
While waiting for the teleportation, the players saw more than once astonishing Void Creatures such as Void Whales, Void Crystal Monsters, Freedom Angels, and so on … However, they did not attack the players' Floating City. Instead, they stayed far away.
This surprised the players who had done their homework in advance, such as Coot Bird.
The world of Segers had no lack of books that recorded Void Creatures. According to their understanding, many Void Creatures were very violent and aggressive. It was also because of this that the players specially equipped the Floating City with powerful firepower and defense.
However, the result was … the monsters all stayed away.
It was as if … they were afraid of the Floating City.
This left Coot Bird and the others puzzled. In the end, they could only conclude that these Void Creatures had sensed the blessings that Her Holiness the Goddess had left on the Floating City.
After all, blessings were equivalent to a mark. Now that Her Holiness the Goddess looked down on the world of Segers, there should not be anyone who dared to attack the Floating City that belonged to Her.
Of course, this was only a guess and was not important.
After knowing that they were safe, the players dived into the teleportation preparations.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
To be more precise, it did not take three days. Instead, it took a little more than two days for the Dingyuan to complete the last teleportation.
After the last teleportation, the players' Floating City appeared above a plane of light that was almost two-thirds smaller than the plane of light in the world of Segers.
However, compared to the radiant Segers, this light that symbolized the plane of light seemed much dimmer.
Moreover, it did not have the protection of a seal like the Mindel Plane. Instead, it was like the most ordinary plane, exposed to the void …
However, if one used the Floating City's plane detection magic to investigate, they would find that the plane's reaction was a little strange. It was flickering in the detection display, appearing and disappearing.
This phenomenon was like some kind of malfunctioning concealment effect.
Fortunately, although it was disappearing and disappearing, it did not affect the positioning. At most, it was just that they had to seize the opportunity during the teleportation.
"Arrived at the coordinates. Prepare to descend."
Coot Bird's voice once again sounded throughout the Floating City.
The players in the command room looked at each other and nodded secretly. Li Mu, who was temporarily in command, issued a new order.
"All troops, prepare for battle! Begin the descent! "
No one could predict what was in this plane.
However, they were certain that the Thunder Tribe had not contacted them for so long. They must have met with some trouble.
As for them, they were here to solve the problem and bring the elves home.
Following Li Mu's order, the majestic Floating City began to move again and slowly flew towards the plane of light.
When the entire floating city approached the planar light sphere, the void gradually distorted, and the entire floating city gradually shrank.
Finally, as if reaching a critical point, the Floating City turned into a ray of light and escaped into the target plane under a mysterious gravitational force.
The next moment, the Dingyuan appeared in the sky of the target plane.
However, when the players looked out of the Floating City's windows and saw the world outside, they were all stunned.
"This … is the world where the Thunder Tribe once lived?"
The optimists stared with wide eyes, stunned.
