Chapter 142-3: King of Ideas Catastrophe Legion (3) |
Going forward, the building of the player legion will also develop toward diversification, with both combat power and logistics indispensable.
The sudden rise of the new city sparked heated discussion among players on the forum.
Hopeless Salted Fish: What the heck, I returned to the Emperor’s Mound Village space and almost thought I had teleported to the wrong place. How did the city change so much? Is this an attached function from the recent fusion of three Territory Nodes?
Self-Destruct Truck: Whoa, the city’s class shot straight up. There is actually a tavern near the revival plaza. I just went to take a look. It offers one free drink per day. Looking at the menu, all the alcohol from reality is there, but there is no spiritual wine provided.
Mo Ling: QVQ Can players buy the shops near the revival point? I want to buy one to sell various Spiritual Food and provide dine-in service. I just don’t know about the price. If it is very expensive, forget it. I will sell on the beach instead.
Midnight Moon Shines on Bed Strings: So awesome. Every district in the city has an internal teleportation array now. From now on you can instantly teleport to other districts of the city. This function gets a thumbs-up. If the city continues to expand, without internal teleportation arrays we would run ourselves to death. Another suggestion, build a passage near the revival point that teleports outward. It will be convenient to leave the village later. Just teleport directly, no need to run to the village entrance.
I Am a Superior Horse: I have a suggestion too. Simply merge the Teleportation Plaza with the revival point to form a plaza that can both revive and teleport, which will save even more time.
Believe in the Holy Light: Can we have some houses players can live in, to give us a feeling of home in the game? Also add a permission entry mode to the houses to prevent strangers from barging in and ruining me and my girlfriend doing good things.

He recorded many ideas that were worth referencing, to be improved in the next update.
While players were conducting in-depth exchanges about the drastic changes to the main city, Qi Sheng began to busy himself once more.
With new player recruitment imminent, he needed to open up another spatial node, find an environment suitable for beginners, and also set up one more new exploration channel.
This would prevent a situation where both other channels encountered accidents and were blocked, allowing players to still obtain sacrificial power through the new channel.
“Guide, set off.”
[Alright.]
In response, Guide’s consciousness carried him through the Emperor’s Mound Village barrier, flying east from Emperor’s Mound Village.
For the new spatial node, Qi Sheng still chose the Pale Continent region.
In his eyes, this was also the starting point for the player legion to reach a world class battlefield.
During the flight, his consciousness seemed to transform into a wisp of light wind, unbound by time and space, freely shuttling through the various scenes of the Pale Continent to embark on a searching journey.
A vast golden sea of sand, towering continuous mountain ranges, brilliant bright star-river lakes, green forests with layered canopies, a purple sea of flowers shrouded in mist… countless scenes flashed before his eyes.
In different scenes along the way, he occasionally saw lofty Evil Eye Towers and the rampantly expanding Black Tide Evil Entities.
They were like tumors parasitizing the Monster World, absorbing the Monster World’s energy to grow rapidly. All living beings near the Black Tide would suffer annihilation.
This kind of expansion was almost irreversible.
Without the ability to purify nodes, each time the Evil Moon shrouded an area, that area could not be dispelled.
Even if the Evil Spirit was killed, the Evil Moon would still shine overhead upon the shrouded area, continuously generating derivative Evil Entities and corrosion cores.
Passing through multiple scenes, Qi Sheng’s gaze was drawn to a golden ocean.
This ocean clearly did not belong to a Monster World scene. It was an externally integrated scene.
He could see countless giant beasts more than a hundred meters long swimming in the golden ocean.
After activating his analysis ability, scene information flooded into his mind.
[World Rule: Gigantification]
Target Analysis: A core world rule scene from the Giant Beast World. The controller of the rule can use the scene to grant the target the blessing of Gigantification, obtaining a greatly increased combat power, and nurturing and generating a kind of giant beast power.

What surprised Qi Sheng was that this entire scene was actually an evolution of rule power.
Compared to other world rule powers of smaller size, or even a fragment generated after a world shattered… as for the supreme rule mastered by Guide, it was more a conceptual existence, which could be borne by anything or turn intangible and merge with consciousness.
It was his first time seeing such an ultra-large condensation of rule power before his eyes.
It was very much like a rule domain node of the Monster World, but in terms of area, it was much larger than the rule nodes he had seen.
Qi Sheng, however, had no desire to examine in detail or master the power of this rule domain.
The forces at his doorstep were not yet settled. As for faraway forces, he would address them when players encountered them.
Under Guide’s guidance, his consciousness passed through the magnificent golden ocean scene and flew straight to the next Pale Continent scene.
Shuttling through different scenes, in addition to the original lands of the Monster World, he could also see many descending forces.
There were strong races and weak races.
The starting point of a weak race determined the future development of the race.
If they descended onto a Territory Node not shrouded by the Evil Moon, they could still draw node energy, convert it for use, and obtain an opportunity for rapid development.
For descending forces with bad luck, their debut meant annihilation.
If they descended in front of cheat-like forces that commanded rule abilities, the opening would be hell difficulty.
The Skyfire race was a very good reference example.
The characteristics of such forces were that they had ambitions for expansion and development and the ability to build large spatial portals. But they could not use perception tendrils to penetrate the world barrier to understand the situation of the Monster World.
They only knew that the Monster World was a higher level world with higher-quality resources available for use, which could significantly accelerate a race’s development.
Thus they descended with ambition, and when they discovered there was a problem, it was already impossible to go back.
Qi Sheng could fully understand the thinking of such forces.
The root of all problems lay in limited cognition.
They might already be invincible in a small world and even be worshiped as supreme deities. The long years of rule made them yearn for a higher growth platform, but their understanding of higher worlds was very limited.
They even believe the technology mastered by their race is extremely excellent and that they can make a grand showing in a wider world.
This can no longer be described as a frog at the bottom of a well.
At least a frog at the bottom of a well can look up and see the moon outside, but a force invincible in a small world cannot see even a corner of the Monster World.
Confidence and ambition led them to step out of the small world and head toward the Monster World.
The result was becoming fodder for other forces’ growth.
Scenes flashed by quickly.
In the end, Qi Sheng and Guide arrived at a scene of heavy snowfall.
Here the night sky was studded with brilliant stars. White snow covered the earth like a vast white velvet carpet.
In the distance, mountain ranges stretched on. Snow blanketed the peaks, solemn and majestic.
At the foot of the mountains, trees were covered in snow, icicles hung from branches, and low hunt level monsters lived nearby.
When his consciousness scanned a purple tower at the foot of the snowy mountain, Qi Sheng and Guide halted their exploration.
“What is this thing?”
At the moment he saw the purple tower, Qi Sheng was inwardly shaken.
Guide’s consciousness body floating beside him also wore a blank expression, as if struck by some visual shock.
Perceptive consciousness swept over the tower.
Purple mist surged below, a conversion furnace sat at the tower’s center, and on top of the tower stood a purple figure, with a purple eyeball floating beside it.
It looked like a Black Tide unit, but in fact it was not.
Qi Sheng spotted the problem at a glance.
This structure was as if its creator, caught between copying and innovation, had conducted an absurd experiment and produced a ridiculous chimera that was neither this nor that.
The tower had copied only the appearance of the Evil Eye Tower, without the corresponding internal structure.
The seemingly surging furnace converter was merely a knockoff half-finished product.
What really made Qi Sheng lose composure was the purple-skinned figure standing on the tower, clearly a copy of a Black Tide Evil Spirit warrior, while the purple eyeball floating beside it was a copy of an Evil Eye.
As for this figure, he could recognize its origin at a glance without analysis.
Its figure was similar to a human’s, its two eyes a deep purple, and behind it a pair of large purple wings.
It was none other than an old friend of the players, a member of the Ecstasy race.
