When the Ascension Conference had been going on for five hours, there were basically no mortals left in the various Ascension Lands.
Every savior had been initiated, and those who had not been initiated had all died.
On average, there were only about 40 trillion people left in each Ascension Land, forming about 10,000 teams.
Every team had at least one billion members, and there were even hundreds of billions of people.
Among them, the self-proclaimed saviors of low-level civilizations made up the majority, about 90% of them.
However, according to Bai Ge's database, the true saviors of low-level civilizations were less than 20%. Most of the members were just lying.
In short, they prioritized the continuation of their civilization. Even if there was only one Star System in the future, they had to survive.
Although they were very dissatisfied with this situation of maliciously "lowering the price", they had no choice but to go with the flow.
Even if their civilization was extremely great in the original universe, they could only try their best to fight for the survival of their mother civilization here.
Not only that, but everyone had to do their best to help their captain ascend.
Otherwise, everything would be meaningless if their team did not get a spot in the top ten.
When such a situation had been formed, and everyone had changed themselves to be the most rational.
There were three self-evident axioms in the Ascension Lands.
First, those who had lived to this point would definitely want to win. Their desire to survive was extremely strong.
Second, all the captains could be victors. Before the top ten ascenders appeared, every team was an enemy.
Third, before the victors appeared, the fewer teams there were, the higher the survival rate of their team. If the team was reduced to ten or less, they would definitely survive.
Under these three publicly acknowledged axioms, in order to take the initiative, they did not pin their hopes on the extremely low probability of "our captain just happened to be able to get a spot".
All the teams would choose to use violent means to reduce competitors before the ascenders appeared.
Even if there were teams that did not do so, they would think, "If I don't do this, the other teams will do the same. If my team is destroyed, everything will be over."
Thus, even if they did not strike first, they would try to rope in allies as soon as possible to strengthen their team and prevent themselves from being destroyed.
There was another concept to consider here. There were strong and weak teams. Basically, they could be summarized as strong teams, medium teams, and weak teams.
If it was a one-on-one battle.
A strong team could easily destroy a weak team because the difference in strength was too great.
When the strength of the two teams was about the same, no one could destroy the other. Attacking each other would only interfere with each other, and in the end, drag down the progress of both teams.
It was impossible for a team to single-handedly annihilate an entire squadron. After all, everyone would fight to the death. So even if the strongest team annihilated a mid-tier team, it would severely weaken their strength. The gains would not make up for the losses.
Therefore, for the strong teams, the better choice was: "Ally with the strong teams, destroy the weak teams, and suppress the medium teams."
For the squadrons, it seemed that the better choice was to form an alliance with the squadrons to keep the strong teams in check.
As for the weak teams, they only had one choice: "Stick together and seek self-preservation."
However, this was only a relatively good situation in theory. In reality, it was impossible to do so.
This was because every team wanted to win. If the weak teams wanted to win, they would have to survive until the ascenders appeared and bet on their captain's strength.
If the strong teams wanted to win, they naturally had to eliminate the other teams as much as possible to reduce the competition.
Squadrons were in between the two.
If they were to form an alliance like this, they would end up in a stalemate.
Therefore, the best choice for a strong team would be: "Ally with a weak team, destroy the squadron, and then destroy the weak team."
The best choice for a squadron would be: "Ally with a weak team, resist a strong team."
It seemed that the weak teams had suddenly become a hot steamed bun. However, the weak teams were not stupid. They could not form an alliance with any strong team because the number of members in the squadrons and the strong teams were already saturated. They could not truly become their own people. If they were to form an alliance, it would be tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. After the matter was settled, regardless of whether it was a squadron or a strong team, they would gather their strength to annihilate the weak teams.
Therefore, the weak teams still only had one choice: "Stick together and seek self-preservation."
However, everyone could imagine what the others would do. They were all smart people. After living for so long, every team had the belief that they had to win no matter what.
They had the same knowledge, and every team had a large number of people. Under the collective wisdom, it was equivalent to forming a calm and united body.
Therefore, their choice would change again.
The strong teams would form an alliance with the strong teams and wait for the exhausted. The squadrons would form an alliance with the squadrons and wait for the situation to change. The weak teams would form an alliance to seek self-preservation.
In the end, it would still be a stalemate. It would become a situation where they bet on their captain's ascension first.
Therefore, everyone would realize that there was no strategy where they had the advantage. The strategy would constantly change according to the situation.
However, the current situation was one where no one could control the overall situation.
The teams were widely distributed. Even if they used secret methods to communicate, it would be useless. It was difficult to unite with each other.
A weak team was here, and the weak team closest to it might be millions of kilometers away. Who knew how many strong teams and squadrons were in the way. How could they form an alliance?
Moreover, the Land of Ascension was too big. It was comparable to a sun. The atmosphere was shrouded in a thick layer of blue and white. It was impossible to see far with one's eyesight. Satellites could not be used either.
If they flew too conspicuously, they would be easily discovered by other teams. Everyone was using various systems of spells and technology to interfere with nearby communications to prevent information from being leaked.
Every team could only communicate internally. The entire Land of Ascension had already entered a state of complete blocking of all frequencies.
Basically, only when they actually encountered each other would they know the strength of the teams they encountered.
In the end, the weak teams unanimously chose to hide themselves.
Before they could determine the strength of the teams around them, they would not expose the position of the main force to prevent them from encountering strong teams.
Tens of thousands of cannon fodder were sent out. They used their lives to scout the distribution of the surrounding forces as much as possible.
As for the main force, they were hidden underground.
In comparison, the strong teams were much better. They could basically do whatever they wanted. If they encountered a strong team, they could just form an alliance. If they encountered a squadron, they could just ignore them. If they encountered a weak team, they could just eliminate them. As long as they were not too unlucky, they basically did not have to worry about their safety.
Similarly, the squadrons could also look for allies. If they encountered a strong team alone, they also did not have to be afraid. They firmly believed that there would not be a strong team so stupid that they would lose eight hundred of their own to kill a thousand of their enemies.
However, the squadrons also had to send cannon fodder to prevent them from encountering a strong team alliance that might have formed.
A single squadron would still be annihilated if they were to encounter multiple powerful squadrons.
At this point, the entire Land of Ascension had become a hunting ground.
The hunters were constantly searching for prey and looking for other hunters along the way.
The strong prey gathered together as much as possible to form large herds.
As for the prey at the bottom of the food chain, they had no other choice but to mindlessly hide and live to the end.
The weak teams seemed to be the most isolated choice, but it was actually the best choice.
This was because to distinguish between strong and weak teams, unless they really fought, they could only judge based on the number of people and the number of weapons they had.
Everyone had a huge amount of knowledge. The more ascension power they grasped, the stronger the tools and weapons they could use. Therefore, by looking at the level of weapons the other party used, they could get a glimpse of the other party's strength. Combined with the number of people and the number of weapons, the strong and the weak teams could be seen at a glance.
However, there were naturally strong teams that deliberately pretended to be weak based on this situation. They purposely lured the weak teams to take the bait and trick them into revealing themselves.
If it was a weak team that was surrounded and in urgent need of allies, although they knew that it could be a trap, they could not take the risk.
Therefore, the weak did not even have the chance to huddle together for warmth. They could not trust any team and could only do their best to hide, hide, and hide again.
All kinds of tricks and counter-tricks emerged one after another. Countless people racked their brains all over the Land of Ascension to survive and live.
This was because everyone could consider any situation.
Therefore, other than the unlucky weak teams that were destroyed, all the other weak teams entered a mindless hiding mode to prevent themselves from being exposed to any other team.
When they saw a weak team, they did not dare to make too much contact because it could be a strong team.
When they saw a squadron, they did not dare to make too much contact because the strong teams might know that the weak teams had considered the previous situation and deliberately pretended to be a squadron.
When they saw a strong team, needless to say, it could really be a strong team …
Reality was often much more cruel than one's imagination. Because everyone was too scattered, there would always be unlucky weak teams that were caught.
There would always be unlucky strong teams that encountered a large squadron.
This was reality. When faced with a different reality, the weak teams that were naturally at a disadvantage racked their brains to survive.
Some of the weak teams realized that they were either surrounded by strong teams or squadrons, and they were all alone in the middle.
They tried to form an alliance with the squadrons to survive first and think about other things later.
There were also some who chose to hide deeper underground, leaving a small group of cannon fodder on the surface to forcefully break through the encirclement and send them away, pretending that they were all dead.
There were even some who bragged about their survival, trying their best to disguise themselves as squadrons and creating a bunch of empty weapons to scare people.
But these were all struggles, and they could only ask for temporary safety.
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer weak teams, and those who could survive to the final stage could be counted on one hand.
"The situation is basically set, and the ten spots will be decided from these teams. Now, it's up to them to interfere with each other and eliminate each other. Who is more brilliant?" Bai Ge said.
He watched for more than ten hours, and the teams from the various ascension grounds had been sharply reduced to more than five hundred.
Only thirty to forty of them were weak teams, hiding in remote areas and struggling at death's door.
There were also very few squadrons, less than a hundred of them, and the remaining four hundred teams were all strong teams.
The reason was simple, there were too many strong teams deliberately hiding their strength, and this caused great difficulty for the squadrons to form an alliance.
If they did not form an alliance, they would be defeated one by one. If they formed an alliance, it was very likely that strong teams would sneak in, and in the end, a few teams in the alliance would suddenly erupt with their true strength and suddenly form an alliance. "You didn't expect this, right? We're in the same team."
Therefore, the strong teams were calm and united, and there was no doubt that many of them would survive.
But even so, there were still heavy casualties. There were originally more than a thousand strong teams. The team that had been formed by the first person to enter the door had long been reduced to ashes.
However, that was the end. When the number of weak squadrons decreased, all the strong teams no longer had the basis to cooperate. They started to view each other as enemies.
The remaining squadrons could finally truly form an alliance and participate in the confrontation.
All the teams returned to their initial state, harassing each other, hiding the positions of their captains, and guessing the positions of their captains.
"It's impossible for the number of teams to decrease anymore. The final spot will depend on whose captains are protected the best, receive the least amount of interference, and have the best progress. Ling Dang, can you simulate the first ten teams? "Bai Ge asked somewhat uninterestedly.
Ling Dang said, "According to my simulation, there will be an ascender who will not be in any team. Some saviors will always be alone, and one of them is about to ascend."
"A lone ranger?" Bai Ge was a little surprised.
He had been watching the game of various large teams for a long time, and Ling Dang had actually told him that a lone ranger was about to ascend?
"Not only that, but he's also a savior of low-leveled civilizations," Ling Dang continued.
"What? Low-leveled civilizations? "Bai Ge was instantly interested.
