Starmoon Kingdom, White River City:
A sea of people crowded the main street of the city's skyscrapers. Even the capital cities of powerful kingdoms paled in comparison to the city's prosperity.
At this moment, a man and a woman wearing Crimson Emperor's Emblem walked down the street. The man was handsome and mighty, while the woman was beautiful and intelligent. Moreover, both had already reached Level 68. If not for the Black Cloak's concealment, they would've most likely become the center of attention on the street.
"Ling Yi really is amazing. She has developed White River City to such an extent. Even if we lose Stone Forest City, there is a high chance that White River City will become an overlord in God's Domain in the future," Illusory Words commented as she looked at the players walking down the street.
After Ling Yi had taken control of White River City's Auction House, the city's development had changed rapidly. Every day, a large number of players would swarm into White River City. Generally, this was the case for cities with Auction Houses under their control. Only, White River City was clearly a little too powerful.
Unlike other NPC cities, the majority of the players that came to White River City were not new players. They were either members of well-known adventurer teams, merchant players, or Lifestyle players with relatively high standards.
Newcomers could not compare to these players. As they had only recently joined God's Domain, both their personal strength and financial strength were relatively weak. They could not directly contribute anything to a city or Guild. However, it was a different story for the members of well-known adventurer teams, merchant players, and Lifestyle players with relatively high standards.
A gathering of experts could provide a ready-made combat power for a Guild. Merchant players could increase a city's economic standard, and Lifestyle players could provide a plentiful supply of goods to support players' daily expenditures. A city's development speed could not be compared to that of new players. At the same time, they could also bring more profits to the Guild that controlled the city.
Crimson Emperor controlled two NPC cities. Moreover, both were capital cities of large empires. During this period, Crimson Emperor had invested a lot in developing these two cities. However, compared to White River City, these two NPC cities were significantly weaker. Only imperial capitals of empires could surpass these two cities.
"An overlord of the Divine Realm?" Crimson Gate snorted. "Illusory, you overestimate Zero Wing. Becoming an overlord is easier said than done. Not only do you need enough experts and Legacies, but you also need a massive amount of financial resources. Even if Zero Wing manages to defend Stone Forest City this time, it's uncertain whether it can succeed in the future. Even if Zero Wing fails to defend the city, it still has a chance. As long as it knows what's good for it, it can still get a share of the city's profits."
"Are you tactful?" Illusory Words didn't object to Crimson Gate's suggestion. Instead, she glanced at the other superpowers' members resting on the street and shook her head, sighing. "I'm afraid that even if Ling Yi agrees, she won't get much of the loot."
The implications of Stone Forest City were simply too great. Currently, the various superpowers had set their sights on Stone Forest City. Even the superpowers that had originally planned to trade with Ling Yi had changed their minds. Crimson Emperor was one of those superpowers.
To get a share of the loot, the various superpowers had sent representatives to Stone Forest City. Based on the information Illusory Words had received, more than ten superpowers had gathered in White River City.
This situation was simply terrifying!
Even in God's Domain, no more than seven or eight superpowers had gathered in an empire, yet now, more than ten superpowers had gathered in White River City. Aside from the Dark Arena, such a grand occasion hadn't occurred in the virtual gaming world for many years.
The reason Illusory Words hadn't yet visited Ling Yi's Residence was because they were waiting for the various superpowers' armies to finish gathering in Stone Forest City.
"Even if Ling Yi doesn't want to, it's useless. This isn't something Ling Yi can decide. Even the Secret Pavilion behind Ling Yi can't decide," Crimson Emperor Jiuge said, chuckling. Crimson Gate sneered. "If Zero Wing refuses, only destruction awaits it. At that time, Zero Wing won't even have a place in Stone Forest City."
The Secret Pavilion was very powerful. It was one of the few transcendental powers in the virtual gaming world. Not even ordinary Super Guilds dared to provoke it.
However, at the end of the day, the Secret Pavilion wasn't the only superpower in the virtual gaming world, much less the current God's Domain.
A fierce tiger couldn't win against a pack of wolves. The Secret Pavilion understood this principle. Abandoning Ling Yi wouldn't be a surprise.
While Crimson Emperor and Illusory Words conversed in private and quietly waited for the various superpowers' armies to arrive in Stone Forest City, the various superpowers resting on the streets of Stone Forest City stirred.
"What's wrong with these people?" Crimson Emperor could not help his confusion when he saw the various superpowers' members' expressions. "Has the army arrived?"
"No!" Illusory Words gave Crimson Emperor a complicated look as she read the latest report. "We've just received news that Ling Yi stopped Starlink's assault in Stone Forest City."
"Stopped it?" Crimson Gate was slightly surprised. Starlink was an up-and-coming superpower. Aside from its slightly inferior Legacy, the Guild's overall strength was stronger than Crimson Emperor's. "It seems Zero Wing is quite capable. It actually stopped Starlink's all-out assault. It's no wonder why the various major powers are acting so strangely."
"That's not all … According to internal reports, everyone Starlink sent … has been annihilated!" Illusory Words said with a grim expression.
"Annihilated?! How is that possible?! "Crimson Emperor exclaimed." There must be a mistake. Let me take a look. "
As Starlink's longtime rival, he knew just how powerful the Guild was. Not even Crimson Emperor could withstand Starlink's assault. Otherwise, Unyielding Soul wouldn't have suffered such a grievous loss.
Although the fact that Ling Yi had stopped Starlink's assault with the help of Stone Forest City was surprising, Crimson Emperor believed it was possible. After all, the Secret Pavilion had been on Starlink's side. In addition, Ling Yi had extraordinary means.
However, Crimson Emperor's claim that Starlink had been annihilated was ridiculous!
Although Starlink had hastily mobilized its forces, it should've had no problems assembling an army of 3,000 experts within a short time. Including Starlink's foundations, even if Crimson Emperor mobilized all of its forces, it'd be fortunate if it could take out half of Starlink's forces. After all, Starlink's members weren't ordinary experts. If they fled, how many could catch up to them?
Hence, Crimson Emperor's claim that Starlink had been annihilated was a joke!
However, after Crimson Emperor finished reading the report, his expression froze.
One person had forced the Heavenly Demon and Horned Dragon teams to retreat!
One person had suppressed four of Starlink's great experts and killed two of them instantly!
One person had commanded a Great Demon Marquis to slaughter Starlink's members!
After reading the report, Crimson Emperor wasn't the only one who was confused. The various superpowers' upper echelons were similarly speechless.
Was this person even human?
