Zhang Pingfan returned to the Heavenly God Sect with these advanced skill books.
These skills were only allowed to be learned by designated players.
Furthermore, a certain condition must be met to learn higher-level skills.
Of course, learning these skills was not as simple as being a member of the Eternal Myth guild.
They needed to sign a non-withdrawal agreement from the guild, an agreement issued by the system itself.
Once they withdrew from the guild, all the skills they had learned would disappear.
Precisely because of this characteristic, Zhang Pingfan was not worried about them betraying him after learning the skills.
With these high-level skills, the combat power of the players led by his disciples would be greatly increased.
In addition to this.
The guild's resources were all channeled towards these 5,000 selected players.
Good equipment was prioritized for them.
In just half a month, this team of 5,000 people directly became the elite of the elites.
The four great families naturally saw the actions of Eternal Myth clearly.
The members of the four great families were also envious of those high-level skills.
After all, many of them had joined the Heavenly God Sect, but they were not qualified to learn those skills. Any single skill was coveted and could be sold at an exorbitant price.
"Relying on the village chief indeed brings many benefits. Those 5,000 people are truly lucky. How many of you are among these 5,000 people?"
It was impossible for the four great families to not react to the movements of the Eternal Myth guild.
There were definitely many spies from the four great families among these 5,000 people.
However, even so, they were still very displeased because if they withdrew from the guild or were kicked out, everything they had learned would disappear.
"The village chief, that old fox, is too good at exploiting system rules. This fundamentally prevents players from betraying. If anyone betrays, they will be directly kicked out of the guild, and all benefits will be lost, leaving them with nothing!"
"That's not true, at least the equipment remains on them!"
"What's that equipment worth? We want those skills, those are priceless treasures."
"The village chief hasn't attacked us during this period. What does he mean by that!"
"Who knows? He's an NPC, one moment like this, the next like that. No one can guess his thoughts. I wonder if the changes in the Eternal Myth guild this time are also his will!"
"When have our four great families ever suffered such humiliation domestically, being toyed with by an NPC? I'm truly impressed!"
"What can we do? It is said that this server is not from our Blue Star. Since it's not from our Blue Star, it must have its unique aspects. Perhaps this is one of them!"
It wasn't that Zhang Pingfan ignored them, but rather that Zhang Pingfan felt it was not necessary yet, as the elite team had just been formed and needed time to be nurtured.
However, the world's end was getting closer, with less than four months left.
If nothing unexpected happened, the end of the world for Blue Star would come in the summer.
On the other side of the game, the Lord of the Barbarian City found the Lord of the Central Earth Empire.
"It's great that you're willing to send troops to help us. The pressure on my side has been quite immense lately. If your Barbarian City is willing to help, I would be very grateful!"
The Lord of the Barbarian City also showed a smile.
"But I have a precondition!"
"Conditions? Name any condition you want. What's our relationship? We've known each other for eighty to a hundred years. If you want something, I'll give it to you without a second word!"
The Lord of the Barbarian City shook his head.
"What I want is not treasure, but you and the forces under your command!"
The Lord of the Central Earth City frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"You know about the Four Great Demon Emperors of my Barbarian City, right?"
Nonsense. You say you're here to help me, and it's precisely because of those Four Great Demon Emperors that I agreed. If you didn't have those Four Great Demon Emperors, what use would you be, a peak ninth-tier Battle God?"
"I know, of course I know. With the protection of the Four Great Demon Emperors, your Barbarian City is as solid as a fortress! Otherwise, why would other Demon Emperors come to attack my Central Earth!"
"The Four Great Demon Emperors are not so easy to subdue. Do you think I can do it alone?"
The Lord of the Central Earth City frowned. He naturally knew that with the strength of the Lord of the Barbarian City, let alone subduing the Four Great Demon Emperors, he would have a hard time fighting even the third-ranked among them.
"What do you mean by that? Do you have someone backing you? Someone beyond the peak ninth-tier Battle God?"
The Lord of the Barbarian City nodded.
"That's right. It's precisely because of this that that damn Ruler doesn't dare to touch my Barbarian City. He ended up coming to you because you have no experts here. If not you, then who!"
The Lord of the Central Earth Empire fell into deep thought. The Dwarf Kingdom had already been completely conquered, and the Dwarf King had escaped to his side, seriously injured.
"Then your visit today represents the intention of the person behind you?"
"Yes, my master said that as long as you submit to him, he will handle everything!"
The Lord of the Central Earth City fell silent.
He had already received news when the Four Great Demon Emperors attacked the Barbarian City.
But the news he received in the end was not that the Barbarian City was destroyed, but that the Four Great Demon Emperors had been subdued and had become the guardian beasts of the Barbarian City.
From that moment on, he suspected that there must be an expert behind the Barbarian City, and not just any expert, but one whose strength was at least beyond the level of a peak Battle God.
"Brother, can you give me some time to consider?"
"Of course! But your time is running out. Come find me after you've thought about it, but do it as soon as possible!"
After the Lord of the Barbarian City left, the Lord of the Central Earth City took out a token. It was given to him by a powerful figure from the Divine Realm.
He was not familiar with the person behind the Lord of the Barbarian City. If it came to the worst, he would contact the experts beyond the peak Battle God level from the Divine Realm.
However, it seemed that it was time to contact them.
The token glowed with golden light, indicating that the connection had been established.
"Elder Jin, I am the Lord of the Central Earth Empire. I have a very troublesome matter that requires your assistance. As long as you help my Central Earth Empire overcome this difficulty, I am willing to lead the peak Battle Gods of the Central Earth Empire to join the Heavenly God Sect!"
At this moment, Elder Jin was inside the Heavenly God Sect, and beside him were all the peak Battle God experts from the entire Divine Realm continent. Because of Zhang Pingfan, everyone had become his subordinate.
Perhaps Elder Jin had some ideas about the peak Battle Gods of the Central Earth Empire before, but now he didn't have those ideas anymore.
"You did? I know, but I'm busy now. Handle it yourself!"
The Lord of the Central Earth Empire was instantly dumbfounded.
"You repeatedly asked me to join your Heavenly God Sect before, but now that I'm offering myself, you don't want me?"
