Version 4.0 was already halfway through, and one-fifth of the players had become high-grade professionals.
Currently, the City of Dawn had 1.8 million Advanced players. The number of Advanced players had surpassed the NPCs, but there was still a gap in terms of quality.
In particular, the bloodline would gradually improve according to the level. The gap between the two sides would also increase.
Other than the players who had good equipment and skills, it was very difficult to fight against NPCs of the same level.
To many players, NPCs were too human-like. Other than when carrying out missions, the players rarely killed NPCs. Most of the time, they would deal with the endless dark creatures.
The Lord had said that they had to become law-abiding mercenaries.
They had to become law-abiding mercenaries. Otherwise, if they were to come knocking on their door, don't blame your beloved prince for not taking care of you.
But after the players reached the Advanced level, they would have more experience points to level up. The advancement missions gradually became more difficult. Hence, many teams and guilds were born to help the players complete advancement missions.
The main reason was to lend equipment. Because the advancement mission could only be completed by a single player, many players could not complete it because they did not have enough equipment and strength.
Ever since William returned to the City of Dawn, he did not do much. Now, the employment missions in the City of Dawn were completed by other people on his behalf.
He only needed to say a few words and let his subordinates run errands. He could still enjoy the fruits of his labor. The life of a Lord was too wonderful.
In addition, many people thought that his Holy Road had been cut off, so he did not need to pretend to cultivate during this period of time. Instead, he used this short period of free time to start to increase his favorability in the various major cities in the territory.
But just as he was leisurely enjoying his life and had just arrived at the East Sea Metropolis.
A dormant volcano in the Magical Beast Forest suddenly erupted. Countless magma spewed out. The fire elements kept increasing, causing the area with a radius of hundreds of kilometers to turn into a fiery domain.
Just as countless people were looking in that direction.
A fiery red phoenix with a wingspan of thousands of meters broke through the clouds.
It was accompanied by a cry.
A huge shadow of the phoenix appeared in the sky with a radius of thousands of kilometers.
At the same time.
The entire sky of the Magical Beast Forest was raining with magic light.
In just a few breaths' time.
The magic density of the Magical Beast Forest increased by tens of times.
While countless magical beasts were greedily absorbing the magic, they used their own methods to worship that position.
The Beast Emperor had been born.
What's more, it was a Super Magical Beast, the Phoenix. Not to mention that kind of pressure, just that intoxicating magic was enough to make this group of less intelligent magical beasts surrender.
The Epic and Legendary Fire Professionals of the Eastern Region were also heading there like carps crossing the river. This was because after the Phoenix became a Sage, it would leave behind countless Fire Essences. This was the greatest opportunity for them to advance further.
However …
When these Epic and Legendary Fire-type professionals arrived, they discovered that the Fire Essence that the Phoenix had originally ignored had actually been collected …
This scene left countless professionals dumbfounded, but they could only swallow the resentment in their stomachs and leave dejectedly.
However, the flame essence was not for the phoenix's own use.
Instead, he gave them all to Burned Cinder, who had helped him recover from his injuries.
At this moment, in this volcano.
Burned Cinder sat cross-legged on countless Fire Crystals, devouring the endless flame essence in large mouthfuls. The fiery red magic that could be seen with the naked eye formed a vortex on the surface of his body. It continuously flowed into his mouth, nose, ears, and even every pore.
Beside him, the phoenix that had already become a Sage had already transformed into a human. His upper body was also bare, revealing a body with bulging veins and well-defined muscles.
This muscular Phoenix saw that Burned Cinder's expression was gradually becoming distorted. Seeing that he was about to be unable to withstand so many flame essences, he said in a low voice, "Make your choice. Do you want the three drops of blood essence of the Phoenix bloodline, or do you want three pure drops of blood essence? When you truly enter the Legendary realm, you will have your own Legendary bloodline."
At this moment, Burned Cinder was already on the verge of breaking through to the Legendary realm. Sweat continuously flowed out of his pores and evaporated at the same time. However, he still gritted his teeth and insisted, "Give it to me … I want the three drops of blood essence of the Phoenix bloodline. I don't believe that I will die!"
"Hmph, this is your choice. If there is a conflict with the Fire Dragon bloodline in your body, don't blame me if you die." The muscular Phoenix replied in a muffled voice.
Then he used a finger to pierce his chest and extracted three drops of blood essence from his heart.
Next.
He shot the three drops of blood essence into Burned Cinder's mouth.
In an instant.
Burned Cinder's face became extremely distorted. He was in so much pain that his entire face was wrinkled. He looked like a mangy dog that had just been born.
His body was also burning with huge flames. Fiery red Dragon scales grew on half of his body, while countless fiery red feathers grew on the other half of his body.
At this moment, he was like a monster.
Half of his body was covered in scales, while the other half was covered in feathers.
If William saw this scene, he would definitely mock him!
But this was a confrontation between the Phoenix bloodline and the Fire Dragon bloodline.
The current situation was not related to the level of the person who gave the blood essence. It was just a confrontation between the ancient bloodlines.
And the battlefield was his body.
At this moment, Burned Cinder felt as if he was in a furnace. The flames were roasting his internal organs, blood, and bones. The intense pain made him unable to open his mouth and cry out in pain.
But the conflict between the bloodlines in his body did not care about his thoughts.
Soon, the human bloodline in his body was going to be suppressed. Just as he was about to become a monster, and his consciousness was gradually fading away.
The muscular Phoenix finally could not stand it anymore. He vaguely remembered that the two of them had met in the valley. They had spent a few months together.
That day.
Burned Cinder wanted to leave.
He was a little reluctant, so he told Burned Cinder that he was injured and might not live for long. He wanted to have Burned Cinder accompany him.
But at that moment, Burned Cinder hesitated for a while and helplessly said to him, "Brother, I'll give you 50 drops of Life Potion. Whether your injuries can be healed depends on your luck. The other 50 drops of Life Potion will be very useful!"
The Phoenix was very touched. She thought that the 50 drops of Life Potion would be enough.
But halfway through the healing process, it was still not enough.
Hence, Burned Cinder made up his mind and gave the rest of the Life Potion to him!
In that short moment, the Phoenix recalled many things. Even after he became a Sage, he knew that this fellow in front of him had come to find him. But he still did not forget the friendship between the two of them.
"Forget it. I have already become a Sage. So what if I break the rules?" The muscular tyrant made up his mind and immediately sent a telepathic message to Burned Cinder. "Don't die. I'll teach you the Phoenix's Nirvana Ascension technique. You'd better stay alive. I also want to see what you, a fellow with the bloodline of both the Phoenix and the Dragon race, can become."
"If there are no accidents, if you survive, you will be the first person in the World of Gods …"
Burned Cinder did not reply.
But that voice was like a ray of light in the darkness, pulling him out of the endless abyss.
At the same time.
There were also countless complicated words that he couldn't understand, yet they were engraved in his heart, appearing in his mind.
But Burned Cinder did not need to understand those words.
The battle energy in his body started to circulate automatically, bringing the two different flames to every meridian and acupuncture point.
At that moment.
It was like ascension.
He felt that his body was becoming stronger. The Dragon scales and Phoenix feathers on the surface of his body started to fall off.
Burned Cinder did not know how much time had passed.
He also did not know what his body had become.
But the muscular Phoenix was a little surprised.
Because not only did Burned Cinder maintain his human appearance, but he also became much younger.
Oh, or rather, he seemed to have been reborn.
As for the Dragon scales and Phoenix feathers, they underwent a huge change. After they disappeared, they reappeared on the surface of his body in the form of flame tattoos.
Time passed.
Those tattoos started to change into strange runes that the Phoenix had never seen before.
But at this moment.
Endless white flames suddenly erupted from Burned Cinder's body. His Legendary aura suddenly increased. Under the pressure of the Phoenix, it even caused some lava to riot.
The muscular Phoenix raised his eyebrows. When he saw the naked man in front of him waking up, his lips curled into a meaningful smile.
…
A sage had appeared in the eastern region of the Magical Beast Forest.
And it was a Phoenix.
Even though William was in the East Sea Metropolis, he received the news very quickly.
William, who was fishing at the seaside, muttered to himself, "I don't know if Burned Cinder is dead or alive. But this Phoenix's injuries have been healed, and he has successfully attained the Sage level. This fellow should be able to obtain the Phoenix blood essence, right? He saved his life and helped him become a sage. I remember that the Phoenix race is very friendly. They should not be ungrateful. "
"If Burned Cinder successfully attains the Legendary level, besides Moses, I will have two Legendary generals, Sorimas and Burned Cinder."
"Oh, it's taken the bait!"
William used his battle energy to pull the fishing rod. He easily pulled a half-meter long fish out of the water and placed it in a large basin.
But just as he was thinking about how he should eat the fish, whether he should fry it, roast it, or steam it.
Suddenly, he heard a gurgling sound.
It was Lancelot.
It was that brother again.
But the moment William opened the magic transmission scroll.
Lancelot screamed in pain!
The next moment.
Lancelot's bloodied face appeared in front of him. Not only was this light element man who had stepped into the Legendary-realm nailed to a cross, he was also tortured by various tortures.
Subsequently.
A familiar face appeared in front of William.
The perverted Viscount of Darkness stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on Lancelot's body. Then he shouted with a ferocious expression, "Come, let me see if this fellow dares to save him!"
William took a deep breath and waited for the location to be revealed …
In the next second.
The video call was disconnected.
The corners of William's mouth twitched. Brother, if you want me to save him, at least tell me the location.
But immediately after, the Viscount of Darkness seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. This simple-minded fellow sent another sound transmission, using a distorted and ugly font to write a few large words …
William raised his eyebrows. Lancelot had been captured after the third Darkness invasion. Why did the Viscount of Darkness take action in advance? Was he tired of playing with Lancelot?
"Oh … in a dream? Could it be that you're jealous?"
"Damn, he's a pervert."
