Flame Dragon City, War God's Temple:
The War God's Plaza, which was the size of three sports stadiums, was currently crowded. Not only were the various superpowers' experts present, but there were also a large number of players who had come to spectate the competition.
"Quick, look! They're about to announce the location of the battle! "
As some players spoke, a gigantic holographic projection appeared above the War God's Temple. The projection was several hundred meters wide, and players could see it from over 10,000 yards away. It had become a symbol of Flame Dragon City.
When this holographic image appeared, not only were Flame Dragon City's players excited, but even the city's NPCs were overjoyed.
"It's finally starting!"
"This competition will determine God's Domain's future. Many of the various superpowers' hidden experts will also appear. Once you enter, make sure to record these experts' data. These experts are not to be trifled with in the future. In fact, some of these experts might even become giants in God's Domain in the future."
"All of you newbies, take note. This time, in order to allow you to experience the competition up close, the Guild has spent a lot of money to reserve a VIP viewing room. You must cherish this opportunity and learn as much as you can from those top geniuses!"
…
For a time, the various superpowers' experts in the plaza began to instruct their Guild's geniuses to cherish this opportunity. After all, this was the apex battle of God's Domain.
"Geniuses? I want to see just how powerful they are. "
"I've heard that many of the famous people on the God's Domain's Experts List will appear. I wonder if we'll get a chance to see them compete?"
The various superpowers' geniuses grew excited when they heard the announcements. They even had the urge to participate in the competition.
Meanwhile, the War God's Plaza in Flame Dragon City wasn't the only place paying attention to this competition. Players throughout the Fire Dragon Empire and God's Domain were also paying attention to this competition. Only, very few players could actually watch the competition.
There were only 1,000 VIP viewing rooms, each of which could accommodate only 100 spectators. As for the normal spectator stands, there were only 10,000,000 seats. Compared to God's Domain's player population, this number was negligible.
However, this wasn't the most infuriating part. The most infuriating part was that not only did players purchase tickets to watch the battle, but there were also NPCs.
According to the War God's Temple's report, over 20% of the tickets had been purchased by NPCs, and over 60% of the tickets reserved for players had been taken by the various major powers. Only less than 20% were in the hands of independent players …
Time passed. Unknowingly?
The holographic projection above the War God Temple also showed the competition venue.
Was there an ocean in the holographic image?
Towering waves, flashes of lightning, and rolls of thunder?
It wasn't a place that players could casually enter.
Apart from the ocean, there are eighteen islands?
These islands were all different in size. The small islands were like small leveling maps.
Large islands were three times the size of small islands.
The distance between these islands is also quite far?
If there were no wind or waves, it would take at least two hours to get there by bronze speedboat. What if there were huge waves and storms?
It was normal for the time to double.
"No way! It's a naval battle? "
"Wrong?
There are still many small islands in the sea. "
"Could it be a battle for control of the islands?"
The spectating players and the various superpowers' participating members discussed the battle outside of the War Temple. They, too, were surprised by the battle's location.
However, before they could discuss it for long, the competition's rules were announced one after another.
1. Teams will be randomly teleported to an island. Teams must have a minimum of 100 members and a maximum of 1,000 members.
Every island has a different Resource Node. A minimum of 12 Resource Nodes?
A maximum of 30 Resource Nodes?
Different Resource Nodes will grant different amounts of GCPs. Basic Resource Nodes will be occupied for one hour?
10 GCPs will be awarded. Intermediate Resource Nodes will be occupied for one hour?
20 GCPs will be awarded.
Advanced Resource Nodes will be occupied for one hour?
30 GCPs will be awarded.
The competition will last for 24 hours. At the end of the competition, the top six Guilds on each island will obtain 12 reserve seats.
2. Among the 18 island competition zones, the larger the island, the greater the restriction on players' Stamina and Concentration. Players will not be allowed to use any Berserk Skills or magic tools. The top five Guilds in each island competition zone may proceed to other island competition zones. If players die during the competition, they will be automatically teleported out of the competition zone and lose two levels.
When the spectating players read the competition's rules, they gasped involuntarily. After all, this competition relied heavily on a Guild's foundations and leadership.
Not only would an individual's strength be of limited use in this competition, but if a team's combat power wasn't distributed properly, it could even lead to a complete annihilation.
"These rules are simply too advantageous for the Guilds with more participants." Mu Lingsha, who stood in the War God's Plaza, frowned when she read the competition's rules.
The minimum requirement to participate in this competition was Tier 3. Even though many superpowers had roughly the same number of members, there was a massive difference in the number of Tier 3 players they had.
Take Unyielding Soul, for example. Even now, it only had 4,500 Tier 3 players. However, a Super Guild like Sky Dragon House had over 8,000 Tier 3 players.
Of course, every Guild participating in this competition had over 6,000 Tier 3 players on average. The difference wasn't as large as Unyielding Soul's.
Even so, there was still a massive difference in the number of Guilds participating in this competition.
After all, the Five Great Super Guilds each had over 20,000 Tier 3 players. This was why none of God's Domain's various superpowers had any hope of securing the other five seats.
Meanwhile, this difference in the number of participants would be magnified significantly in this competition.
For example, if the Five Great Super Guilds formed a 1,000-man team, they could have 20 members, while the other Guilds would have less than 10. If the Five Great Super Guilds were randomly assigned to islands, they could occupy several times more islands than the other Guilds.
Not to mention, if a Guild didn't rank among the top five on an island, it wouldn't be able to leave the island to compete for resources.
"These rules are pretty good. Miracle Society's participation in this competition is basically set in stone," Cold Shadow said, smiling faintly as she read the competition's rules.
At this moment, aside from Cold Shadow, Miracle Society was also ecstatic.
After all, Miracle Society had over 13,000 participants this time. The reason why so many Tier 3 players were participating in this competition was all thanks to the special tools Mythology had provided. With these tools, many Tier 2 experts, who had originally struggled to reach Tier 3, had successfully reached Tier 3 recently.
Although these Tier 3 experts' combat standards were slightly weaker than other Tier 3 experts, they were still Tier 3 players. They were much more powerful than Tier 2 players. Currently, Frost Heaven's Guild ranked sixth among all the powers participating in this competition.
Meanwhile, Seven Wonders and the other Guild upper echelons on Frost Heaven's side wore ashen expressions.
This was because Frost Heaven only had a little over 7,500 participants, barely ranking among the top ten in terms of number of participants. If this were any other venue and rules, Frost Heaven could definitely compete for one of the spots. However, in this competition's venue, Frost Heaven's Guild was significantly weaker.
"It seems we have no choice but to take the risk of splitting more teams. Otherwise, we won't have any chance of winning a spot," Seven Wonders said to the other Grand Elders and Elders after calming down.
"That's our only choice. Otherwise, we won't be able to compete with those Guilds with more participants," Hong Xinyuan said, nodding.
The Grand Elders and Elders present also agreed with Seven Wonders' opinion.
"Since that's the case, I'll start arranging the teams' combat power.
"Although we need to split more teams, we also need to consider the balance of combat power and the competition for resources. Five Grand Elders and 12 Elders, each of you will lead a 300-man team. Your main target will be a Basic Resource Node. If you don't have enough combat power, try your best to combine your teams to capture a Resource Node.
"Old Hong, Brilliant Blue, and I will each lead a 500-man team and the Ten Swords of Frost Heaven to capture an Intermediate Resource Node. At the very least, we must capture a Basic Resource Node. As for the three Vice Guild Leaders, you and the foreign aid team will lead a team of less than 1,000 people to capture an Advanced Resource Node. At the very least, you must capture an Intermediate Resource Node."
The distribution of the Seven Wonders of the Fish-Dragons was rather standard and also relatively conservative.
Firstly, it ensured that there would be enough teams to cast a wide net. Secondly, even if they encountered a 1,000-man team, each team would have the strength to protect themselves.
Of course, the chances of encountering a 1,000-man team were still very rare. After all, there were only so many Guilds participating in the competition. Extravagantly forming a 1,000-man team would be a huge waste of manpower. In order to cast a wider net, the more teams there were, the better.
"What do you all think?" Seven Wonders asked as he glanced at the Guild upper echelons present.
The Guild upper echelons looked at each other. None of them objected.
"Then, let's do this …"
Seven Wonders nodded. Just as he was about to make a decision, however, a deep voice suddenly reached his ears.
"I object!"
As soon as this voice finished speaking, Frost Heaven's upper echelons could not help but turn to look at the speaker.
The speaker was none other than Shifeng, who had just arrived.
"Guild Leader Black Flame, do you have any good suggestions?" Seven Wonders asked sincerely, not angered by Shi Feng's words.
Upon hearing Seven Wonders's question, the Grand Elders and Elders present also turned to look at Xiang Shifeng. It was obvious that they shared the same opinion as Seven Wonders.
"What's wrong with these people?" Shifeng looked at Seven Wonders and the others strangely.
When he had left, these people had hated him. Now, not only had Seven Wonders's attitude changed for the better, but even the Grand Elders and Elders' attitudes had softened significantly.
However, Shifeng did not know this. Due to his astonishing performance in the qualifier, he had nearly single-handedly taken on 1,000 opponents. With such frightening combat power, let alone Frost Heaven, even Super Guilds would treat him with respect.
However, Shifeng did not dwell on this matter.
"I can't say that it's a good suggestion," Shifeng said calmly. "I just think that we can change the grouping slightly."
"How?" Seven Wonders asked curiously.
Shifeng could not help but extend his palm.
"Five!"
"My suggestion is for Ling Yi to lead five 100-man teams, while your Guild's Vice Guild Leader will lead the remaining 500. This way, we can maximize the team's combat power."
