After 40 hours of the system upgrade, Shifeng heard the sound of a system notification as soon as he entered God's Domain.
System: This area's environment has changed.
System: You have 30 seconds of invulnerability to locate a safe zone.
"This place sure has changed a lot!" Shi Feng was slightly surprised as he surveyed his surroundings.
The originally lush valley was now scorched earth. Lava even flowed around the valley. The valley had transformed into a molten hell.
Even with Shifeng's high Fire Resistance, he felt his skin scorch as the heat waves assaulted him.
Even Shifeng could not stand the pungent smell of sulfur in the air.
Compared to the previous God's Domain, after the system's second evolution, players' five senses had become much sharper. This environment would have a greater impact on players' combat power.
Aside from the drastic change to the environment, the surrounding Level 40 monsters had also become extraordinarily ferocious.
Their ferocity was not reflected in their levels, but in their sensitivity. This upgrade had significantly increased the monsters' perception range.
Players would be at an extreme disadvantage at night, as players' vision would be greatly reduced. However, monsters' vision would not be reduced. Players would most likely be attacked by these monsters before they even noticed them. This was a nightmare for players who had been active in high-level maps all this time.
Adventuring in high-level maps was already dangerous enough. Now, however, it would be even more dangerous.
Although Shi Feng had chosen a safe location before he logged out of the game, the environment here had changed. Now, the safe location he had chosen was surrounded by monsters. If not for the system's invincible protection, he would've long since become a delicacy for these monsters.
Following which, Shifeng activated Wind Rider and searched for a safe zone to establish teleportation coordinates.
Finally, after half an hour or so, Shifeng found a high ground and established teleportation coordinates. At the same time, he set up a protective barrier around the area.
Aside from the original monsters, abyssal monsters could also be seen flying around the valley. These monsters were much higher-leveled than the ones in the valley. The lowest-leveled monsters were Level 80, while the higher-leveled ones were over Level 100. To current players, these monsters were practically invincible.
If not for the barrier set up by the Abyssal Book, anyone who came here would've only become a delicacy for these abyssal monsters.
However, it was thanks to these abyssal monsters that Shi Feng had the opportunity to make a fortune.
At that time, he would only need to pay a few Magic Crystals to earn a large sum of Coins.
After everything was settled, Shi Feng took out a Return Scroll and transformed into a streak of white light, disappearing from the valley.
Inside White River City … As soon as the Shifeng exited the Teleportation Hall, they discovered that White River City's defensive magic array had been activated. Thousands of abyssal monsters circled the city's sky, and the weakest among them was Level 180, while the strongest was a Level 200 Grand Lord.
With the appearance of so many frightening monsters, White River City's atmosphere became oppressive. The players on the streets felt a massive pressure weighing down on them, and they feared that the defensive magic array in the sky would collapse.
"We're doomed this time. With so many monsters, will White River City fall as well?"
"That can't be, right? This is White River City. Although it can't compare to the capital, it is still the largest city in the eastern region of the Starmoon Kingdom. If White River City falls, won't the other surrounding cities be even worse off?"
When everyone thought of the gigantic monsters in the sky, their scalps involuntarily tingled. With such a situation, they would not be able to grind and level up in the fields of White River City.
Meanwhile, all the Guilds in the eastern region of the Starmoon Kingdom were holding an emergency meeting.
Originally, the various large Guilds had assumed that the abyssal invasion would only affect the Twin Towers Kingdom and that it would not affect the other kingdoms. Now, however, the various large Guilds had no choice but to consider moving their cities. However, the consequences of doing so were unacceptable.
It had not been easy for them to take control of their cities step by step. Now, they had to leave their cities and start anew in another city. The price they would have to pay would be much higher than before.
Meanwhile, Overwhelming Smile, the second-largest Guild in the eastern region of the Starmoon Kingdom, was incredibly busy.
Over a hundred people filled the spacious meeting room. These people were all Overwhelming Smile's upper echelons. Ordinary players would have a hard time meeting them.
"Hahaha! These abyssal monsters came at just the right time! I want to see just how arrogant the Ling YI Society is going to be!" Feng Xuanyang could not help but grin as he read the latest report he had received.
According to Underworld's latest report, these abyssal monsters were not limited to the eastern region of the Starmoon Kingdom. They were also showing signs of spreading throughout the entire Starmoon Kingdom. At that time, it would be extremely dangerous for players to level up in the fields.
Underworld's upper echelons intended to temporarily move Overwhelming Smile's elites to the Black Dragon Empire, where they would not be harassed.
Underworld was a massive organization, and its influence spanned across several kingdoms. Since a mere Starmoon Kingdom could not level up for the time being, it was fully capable of transferring its elites to other kingdoms and empires under its control. Overall, Underworld's influence would not be significant.
However, the same could not be said for small Guilds and upstart Guilds that did not have a solid foundation. Their foundations were limited to a single location, and they could not transfer their elites to another city. Even if they transferred their elites, they would have to start from scratch. How could they compare to local Guilds that had been developing for several months?
If it were a small Guild, it would not be a big deal. After all, they did not have much accumulation in a single city. However, it was a different story for a giant like the Ling YI Society in the Starmoon Kingdom. Just the cost of moving to another city would be enough to cripple any first-rate Guild. The Guild's development would suffer a significant setback, and it would be very difficult for any first-rate Guild to catch up.
Youlan, who sat beside Feng Xuanyang, frowned slightly.
Ling Yi's luck is really bad. However, this is fate! Youlan could not help but sigh ruefully.
Ling Yi's rise could be considered a legend in the Starmoon Kingdom. However, in the end, it could not stop external factors.
Man proposes, God disposes. Who would have thought that the system would suddenly make such a move? This had truly screwed Ling Yi over.
Of course, the appearance of the abyssal monsters also made Youlan very happy.
After all, this was also an opportunity.
Due to the influence of the abyssal monsters, players from the neighboring kingdoms would eventually move to other kingdoms and empires. Among them, the possibility of players moving to the Black Dragon Empire was the highest. With so many players swarming into the Black Dragon Empire, the player population in the Black Dragon Empire's cities would definitely skyrocket. At that time, the merchandise market in the Black Dragon Empire would also rise.
If she could nurture a group of Advanced Lifestyle players of her own at this time, her authority in Underworld would also increase.
Thinking up to this point, Youlan could not help but want to take action as soon as possible.
At this time, every minute and second was money!
Originally, they had planned to head to Titan City today. However, due to the system upgrade, all actions had been delayed.
Just as all the Guilds were busy holding meetings, thinking about their future development …
Shifeng himself had also arrived at White River City's City Hall.
"How may I help you, sir?" the NPC beauty behind the VIP counter asked with a smile.
Shifeng calmly took out a purple-gold diamond-shaped token, calmly saying, "I wish to promote Candlelight to a 3-star Shop."
