Inside the Summoning Hall, when the divine runes around the Shifeng disappeared, the Saint-level Saint-rons-l'Abléc opened its eyes abruptly. It was surprised to see the Shifeng appear before it.
"You … succeeded?"
Saint-rons-l'Abléc had confirmed that the Shifeng had passed the trial the moment it laid eyes on the Shifeng.
In Saint-rons-l'Abléc's eyes, the Shifeng looked completely different from before.
Although Shi Feng's level hadn't increased, the Mana he radiated was completely different from before. Not only did the Mana he radiated blend well with the ambient Mana, but the intensity of his Mana had also undergone a qualitative transformation. This was proof that Shi Feng's control over his Mana had reached such a level after passing the trial.
Even so, Saint-rons-l'Abléc still couldn't believe its eyes.
According to Saint-rons-l'Abléc's expectations, the Shifeng would be incredibly powerful if he could clear the trial on his third attempt.
Yet, Shi Feng had actually succeeded on his first attempt …
"Mhm. I was lucky." Shifeng nodded.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to break through to the Tier 5 standard at the last minute and receive the World's Blessing to rebuild his Sea of Consciousness, clearing the trial would've been nothing but a dream.
"That's right. There was no luck in clearing the trial. It was all because of your strength," Aurelic said, shaking his head. Auerbeck shook his head and said, "Then according to our agreement, from now on, you are a contractor acknowledged by me, Auerbeck."
As soon as Saint-rons-l'Abléc finished speaking, Shifeng suddenly felt a burning sensation on his arm.
Before he realized it, a silver dragon mark had appeared on Shifeng's left arm. At the same time, the sound of an emotionless system notification rang out in his mind.
System: Congratulations! You have completed the second phase of the Epic Quest "Void Cage." You have obtained the acknowledgement of Saint-rons-l'Abléc and become a true Dragon's Contractor. You now possess the power to summon Saint-rons-l'Abléc to do battle for you at any time. Rewarding 30 Free Legacy Points and one Level.
Immediately, Shifeng's level rose from 150 to 151. He also gained 30 Free Legacy Points.
"If you run into any trouble in the future, you can always summon me." "With the Contract Rune, I can teleport to your location at any time. However, you must be careful. The Contract Rune's power is limited, and it can't sense certain things. Moreover, God's Domain has changed. Although you've grown a lot, you'll still fall's. Although you've been in the outside world, you'll still fall's...... your soul can't.....
.. r.. Has the World Passage already opened? Shifeng was slightly surprised to hear this.
If even Saint-rons-l'Abléc, who could defeat ordinary Tier 5 existences, had to warn him to this extent, it was obvious that God's Domain had undergone massive changes. Otherwise, there would be no need to warn him.
"That's right. The World Passage has fully opened. Existences from another world have already invaded this world. Some of God's Domain's laws have changed as well. You'll understand once you take a look outside," Saint-rons-l'Abléc said, nodding. He then pointed at the entrance, which was now sealed by a magic array. "If you encounter any trouble, it's best if you summon me immediately."
"Thank you for your reminder, Your Excellency. I'll be careful."
Shifeng nodded. Inwardly, he grew slightly more vigilant. He then left the Summoning Hall. As for Saint-rons-l'Abléc, he lay down and fell asleep in the Summoning Hall.
When Shifeng exited the Summoning Hall and arrived outside, he was stunned.
"What a rich magic power!"
At this moment, the Starlight Fortress's Mana density was more than double what it had been before his trial. In fact, the Mana here was so dense that it was close to vaporizing.
Aside from Ling Yi City, no player city or city could compare to the Starlight Fortress's Mana density. Not even Stone Forest City's Freedom Hotel could compare to the Starlight Fortress's Mana density.
Moreover, the Starlight Fortress's Mana affinity and operating principles had also improved significantly. It was as if the Starlight Fortress was a weakened version of the ancient God's Domain.
However, compared to the changes to the Mana environment, the Starlight Fortress's transformation was even more shocking.
Before Shi Feng had left, the Starlight Fortress's player traffic had already been frightening. Now, however, it was nothing compared to before. The Starlight Fortress's population had more than tripled. In fact, Shi Feng could even spot a few Tier 4 experts on the streets.
Just a rough estimate told him that there were more than 70 Tier 4 experts in the Starlight Fortress. This was a frightening number.
However, this still wasn't the most shocking part!
Compared to the Starlight Fortress's interior, the Starlight Fortress's exterior was a sea of players. Just the long line alone made Shi Feng feel as if he couldn't see the end of it. With a rough estimate, Shi Feng estimated that there were over a million players waiting in line.
Moreover, none of the players waiting in line were ordinary players. Even the weakest among them was a Tier 3 expert, and every one of them was Level 135 or above. There were even Tier 4 experts in the line.
If not for these players quietly waiting in line, Shifeng would've wondered if they were here to attack the Starlight Fortress.
However, before Shifeng could snap out of his daze, he saw a group of players rushing madly toward the fortress's entrance. The person leading this group was none other than the commander of Divine Tribe's Divine Hymn Legion, Fithalia.
At this moment, not only was Fithalia a Tier 4 player, but she had also reached Level 145. Based on the Mana density around her, it was obvious that her Mana Body had broken through the 100% threshold. She also carried at least two Fragmented Legendary items. She should have no problems going up against a Superior Mythic monster of the same level.
Moreover, aside from Fithalia, there were three other Tier 4 players in her team. Not only did all three of them have Void Realm combat standards, but they also wore over eight pieces of Epic Equipment. Only, none of them had broken through the 100% threshold of their Mana Bodies.
With such a team's strength, they could even slay a Superior Mythic monster of the same level.
At this moment, however, Fithalia and the others wore anxious expressions as they rushed madly toward the fortress's entrance.
"Did something happen?"
Shifeng was also curious about this situation. He immediately took a step forward and flew toward the group of players.
Although Fithalia and the others weren't Ling Yi's subordinates, Divine Tribe was Ling Yi's strategic ally on the western continent. Moreover, Divine Tribe was responsible for maintaining the Starlight Fortress's security on Ling Yi's behalf. Unless something major happened, Divine Tribe wouldn't alert Fithalia.
A short moment later, Fithalia and the others arrived before the Starlight Fortress's entrance.
At this time, over 10,000 players had already gathered before the fortress's entrance. These players all curiously looked at the group of players standing before the fortress's entrance.
To be precise, this group consisted of a group of NPCs and a small group of players.
However, among this small group of players, there were a total of five Tier 4 players. As for the NPCs, there were more than 10 Tier 4 players.
"Why are the Blood Alliance's members suddenly here? Aren't they a superpower alliance operating in the outer seas? "
"It is indeed strange. If I recall correctly, they've never been active on land and have always dominated the various seas. Even the Five Great Super Guilds don't want to provoke them in the sea."
"I heard that the Blood Alliance had a war with many of the Outerworld's major powers in the outer seas. Although both sides ended in a draw, the Blood Alliance suffered heavy losses. I heard that the Outerworld killed over five million Tier 3 players, and three island cities were razed to the ground."
Everyone started discussing the sudden arrival of these Tier 4 experts. Some of them were even confused. The Blood Alliance was clearly a superpower operating in the sea, yet it had suddenly come to a place like the Starlight Fortress. The Starlight Fortress was very far from the sea. Just the teleportation fee to the fortress was close to 6 Gold.
"Don't tell me you guys are eyeing the Starlight Fortress and have come here to take it?"
"That's very likely. After all, the Starlight Fortress is simply too amazing. Not only is the Mana density here extremely high, but it also has a much higher affinity with Mana and a clearer understanding of Mana's operating principles than the outside world. In addition, the fortress is so close to a God Mode Regional Dungeon. The fortress will be of great help to players obtaining various resources, completing their Tier 4 Promotion Quests, and leveling up."
"That can't be, right? Don't they know that the Starlight Fortress has a Tier 4 Divine Dragon guarding it? That's not an existence that Tier 4 players can go up against."
Just as everyone was wondering why the Blood Alliance's members had come to the fortress, Fithalia's group arrived before them.
"Guild Leader Brut, may I know why you've come all of a sudden?"
Fithalia could not help but look at a thin man in gray robes who carried a pitch-black wooden staff on his back. Her tone carried a hint of questioning as she looked at the man in the crowd.
He had brought more than ten Tier 4 NPCs and three of the Blood Alliance's top ten Tier 4 experts with him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he didn't come here with good intentions.
"Commander Fithalia, there's no need for you to be so nervous. We're not here to cause trouble. Moreover, we're not here to look for you," the thin, gray-robed man said, chuckling. "You can say that this matter has nothing to do with Divine Tribe. After all, we're here to look for Ling Yi. We wish to discuss a partnership with the Ling YI Society."
"Discuss a partnership with Ling Yi?" Fithalia frowned. She then chuckled and said, "Of course, that's none of my business. However, you've brought so many Tier 4 experts with you. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like you're here to discuss a partnership. May I know why you've brought so many Tier 4 NPCs with you, Guild Leader Brut?"
"I didn't call them here," Brut said, shaking his head. "They're here on behalf of the sea's many NPC forces."
"On behalf of the sea's many NPC forces?" Fithalia couldn't help her surprise.
If only one NPC force had sent these Tier 4 NPCs, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, if they had come from the sea's many NPC forces, this was no small matter. She had no choice but to take this matter seriously.
God's Domain's various kingdoms and empires had always avoided setting foot in the sea. Aside from the many troublesome sea monsters in the sea, the sea's many NPC forces were also extraordinary. Some of these NPC forces even had Tier 5 NPCs overseeing them.
Brut nodded. In an unquestionable tone, he said, "That's right. Commander Fithalia, it's fine if you don't let us in. However, I'll have to trouble you to relay a message that the Blood Alliance will be requisitioning a portion of the Starlight Fortress's temporary Residence to resist the Outerworld's invaders."
