Chapter 1923: Chapter 1923: Shattered
These worlds are basically on the verge of collapse, and many will be utterly extinguished, as the world’s will crumbles and reintegrates into the Void.
World-class powerhouses can hunt down the will of a plane and acquire rule fragments, thereby comprehending their own laws and stepping onto the path of the strong.
Initially, the faction leaders hesitated, as it was extremely dangerous. However, with increasingly powerful enemies, many world-class powerhouses have stepped onto these planes.
Among them, the most outstanding is the current Great Chieftain who successfully hunted down a twisted creature from an elemental plane, obtaining rule fragments that made him transcend and become extraordinary.
Later, he even acquired the Power of Earth Guardian, achieving the rank of Demigod.
Powerhouses on the path of strength who raise their madness level to a certain point can see the fundamental things of these collapsing betel nut worlds, realize the great terror of world destruction, and gain insight into the horror of twisted monsters.
In turn, not only can killing twisted mutant monsters yield more original items, which can be integrated into the path of the strong to enhance one’s profession, but it can also elevate one’s rank and even repair one’s origin.
Of course, the higher the madness level, the more dangerous it becomes. This is not a stable plane. Compared with stable main planes, the wills of these near-destruction worlds are twisted, not to mention that various creatures obtain extremely strange abilities.
In the last life, the plane operations continued for several years and became a place that top players had to challenge in order to mend their origins.
But this place was too insane. At the start, players were confidently entering with high madness levels, only to end up with nothing and facing defeat.
Later, they learned their lesson and generally entered at madness level one, exploring slowly, using time to grind and gradually progressing.
However, with a low madness level, while safer, it makes it impossible to see the essence of the world. Many hidden twisting treasure chests and treasures would remain invisible, let alone acquiring plane rule fragments.
And by the time top players had grown stronger, those planes had already been utterly extinguished, losing this opportunity.
Yet in the last life, Li Yao transitioned to a Hunter, diligently practiced archery, and after mastering it slightly, he luckily discovered a small plane unknown to anyone else.
Li Yao alone enjoyed this small plane, and after a few years of clearing out its monsters, he raised his madness level, hunted twisted world wills, and acquired rule fragments. This allowed him to grow to the quasi-god level, at the pinnacle of a Demigod, qualifying him to participate in the Divine Enthronement battle.
But this opportunity almost exhausted his luck. He did not acquire a good pet, and he ultimately failed to win the divine enthronement.
This time, he is years ahead of where he was, and he knows of many more sub-dimension entrances, having reached this level. For him, divine enthronement is no longer an issue; his aim is to become the strongest god.
Now Li Yao hesitates over which broken plane to choose.
Furthermore, in the past two months, it’s like Edward and the others have already obtained such opportunities. As long as their mentors reach a certain level, they will surely lead them to explore a corresponding broken plane.
This does not conflict with regular activities, and once entered, acquiring the Key of Plane allows for effortless teleportation like Hearthstone, making it very convenient.
In the past two months, Li Yao has been busy with guild matters, quite frustrated. He is neither good at nor likes these things.
However, without him overseeing the construction of the main city, it would have been ridiculous.
Now that the basic framework is complete, his presence is no longer as significant.
Li Yao, clad in a cloak, stands at the bow of the ship, with a few players on board. A young Ogre child rows the boat.
Though still young, the strength far surpasses that of ordinary races, making boat rowing a decent side job. Not only Ogres, but children from various races in the main city find part-time jobs whenever they are free, as survival lessons are not easy in this world.
It’s just that other races are not as physically strong as Ogres, so they can only do jobs like leading the way. Many players are generous, especially female players, charmed by the children’s cuteness, naturally tipping them.
To players who can get here, tipping a few silver coins is nothing. But for them, those few silver coins are a significant amount.
Ordinary people’s lives still trade in copper coins, but there are plenty of job opportunities with the main city’s new construction, and the NPCs’ lives are pretty good.
Starfire now has over a few billion funds; naturally, they won’t be stingy.
Because these races’ children became the residents of the main city, coupled with top-grade racial buildings, their intelligence is also boosted.
These children mainly are clean, with rosy cheeks. Although their food and drink aren’t lavish, they are nutritious enough.
After all, around this main city, there’s no shortage of prey. Unknown numbers of creatures mindlessly attack the main city daily. Some of these creatures are turned into food for the workers, while most are semi-sold and semi-donated to families with children.
Even the Blood Race and Ogres have adopted a family life, being forcibly organized into households by Sister Li and the Blood Race Duke, entering an orderly era.
However, some criticize Starfire on the forums for employing child labor and abusing children, leaving Starfire’s people speechless.
They know the main city currently lacks population, not resources, putting more effort into nurturing the next generation than anyone else.
Claiming child abuse is a joke; Starfire never has them do excessive manual labor.
The Ogre child lifts heavy stones for strength training every day, and rowing is much easier, especially since the river is not static. With Starfire’s planning, river routes are divided, making most destinations downstream and much less labor-intensive.
Under these circumstances, supplementing their household income following military school courses is considered child abuse, leaving Starfire at a loss for words.
They are all elite military seeds, powerful species of the magic world, incomparable to humans.
Apart from Li Yao, the other people clearly form a small team, laughing and chatting together. The two female players in the team constantly tease the young Ogre rowing the boat.
“Little guy, I heard Starfire set up a school for you. What have you learned?” a human Mage asked with a chuckle.
Before the Ogre could answer, the Thief in the team sneered: “I say, Starfire’s just putting on a show, likely due to forum criticism of child abuse. Then they set up a school, as if it’s the real world. Besides, given the stupidity of Ogres, even if they teach, what would they really learn?”
The head on the left was about to speak but snorted and stayed silent. However, the head that has been silent spoke angrily: “Get off the boat, I won’t carry you. Here’s your dirty money back.”
Five copper coins clinked as the Ogre tossed them onto the boat…
