Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
Had the game company gone completely mad?
To directly abandon such a massive money-making machine?
Although.
Some had already vaguely speculated that such technology, combined with factors like the invasion from another world.
The game company might not be a native force of Shui Lan Star.
But they never expected this.
As more and more players poured in, and while huge profits were at stake.
The game was suddenly going to shut down.
If this announcement turned out to be true, it would be a major blow to the current players of Shui Lan Star!
As it stood.
A four-way war was about to begin.
The improvement in the game world was one of the biggest trump cards for the players of Shui Lan Star.
Now this trump card only had a thirty-day validity period.
This filled everyone with panic.
Except for the players who were banned, countless people were flooding into the game.
The prices of high-value items in the game skyrocketed.
Especially items that could be materialized, each was being hyped to astronomical prices.
Zhan Shen Ba Dao took the opportunity to sell off many things that their team didn't need.
Of course.
Not for money or immortal crystals.
But in exchange for rare materials, or precious recipes.
In short, anything that wasn't mass-produced could be exchanged for a materializable item from me.
For a time.
Zhan Shen Ba Dao's friend list exploded.
Countless players sent trade requests.
Zhan Shen Ba Dao accepted them all.
After all, they had plenty of treasures.
And.
Due to the long-term accumulation by the team members.
As well as Lin Feng often mailing over a large batch.
Their treasure reserves were practically unfathomable.
Many players, because their offered items were of too little value, couldn't even achieve a one-to-one exchange.
They had to unite with friends.
Or have their guild intervene.
Several or even a dozen items combined were needed to exchange for a coveted materializable item from Zhan Shen Ba Dao.
Watching item after item flow from Zhan Shen Ba Dao's hands to the market, or even be traded to players on other servers.
Some players on the Huaxia server became anxious.
"Big brother, don't just focus on making money and sell all the good stuff. Keep some for our own server!"
"Yeah, big brother, we're already gathering rare materials and will trade as soon as we reach the amount. Please don't sell the acquired treasure you saw before to others..."
But the reality proved their worries to be unnecessary.
Zhan Shen Ba Dao specifically issued a statement.
"There are plenty of treasures, everyone doesn't need to worry."
"As long as you have top-tier recipes and materials, or other rare items, materializable innate spiritual treasures and innate supreme treasures can also be exchanged!"
This statement caused a moment of silence in the world channel.
Then.
It exploded!
"Big brother, did you misspell? Materializable innate spiritual treasures, or even innate supreme treasures?"
"Aren't these treasures already the top-tier existence within the game? How can you talk about them like they're common cabbage?"
"Exactly, and they're materializable. Big brother, don't joke!"
Seeing that the players didn't believe him, Zhan Shen Ba Dao felt a little helpless.
However.
Thinking about it carefully, it was normal.
If it were in the past, he himself wouldn't have believed it.
When Lin Feng used to mail him such rarely seen treasures in large quantities, he was also somewhat overwhelmed.
It felt like they weren't playing the same game.
As if they could be mass-produced.
And over time, Lin Feng had created too many materializable treasures through the [Chaos Creation Divine Pool].
The Zhan Shen team only had ten people.
Even if each person was fully equipped, and they had two sets as spares.
There would still be 99% of the stock left in the warehouse.
Of course.
The top-tier items had all been consumed by themselves.
Even other items of the same grade would have significantly inferior effects.
But even so.
After Zhan Shen Ba Dao posted the attribute charts of several materializable innate spiritual treasures and innate supreme treasures on the global channel.
It was enough to drive the players into a frenzy.
These were innate treasures capable of fighting against Saints.
In the game, such treasures were held by the top players on each server, and were rarely seen.
Let alone being materializable, usable in reality.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say.
In reality, most people had only seen acquired spiritual treasures at most.
And such treasures were enough to make any Level 1 Grand Unity Golden Immortal player invincible.
If they had two such items, they could even contend with a Level 2 Quasi-Saint level expert.
And a Level 2 player with such treasures could also contend with a Level 3 player.
But Level 4 was a dividing line.
A Level 2 or Level 3 Quasi-Saint, relying on any external force, would find it difficult to contend with a Level 4 Saint level expert.
It was a vast gap in all aspects.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it crushing.
But now.
Everyone saw hope for cross-level battles.
With such treasures.
Level 2 and Level 3 cannon fodder could completely contend with Level 4 experts.
This was a leap in class!
Even stretching it further.
If a complete set of innate spiritual treasures could be assembled, it might not be impossible to contend with a Level 5 expert.
As for Level 6 Saints, who possessed invincible Saint power, that was not something that could be dealt with by relying on treasures.
If one had to say.
Perhaps something like Noah's Ark would be needed.
A treasure rumored to surpass innate supreme treasures and reach the level of pseudo-heaven-opening spiritual treasures.
But such a thing clearly exceeded the game's limitations.
The appearance of even one was an accident.
It was impossible for new ones to appear.
Therefore.
What Zhan Shen Ba Dao said about materializable innate spiritual treasures and innate supreme treasures completely exploded the players in the game.
Countless rare recipes and materials, as well as various strange items and props.
From the hands of the players, they continuously converged into Zhan Shen Ba Dao's hands.
Then he selected the promising ones and mailed them to Lin Feng one by one.
And when Lin Feng mailed them back, they had become ultimate treasures, strengthened and amplified, with their effects increased tens or even hundreds of times.
If the previous rare materials allowed a player to have the potential to rise from ordinary cannon fodder to an upper-tier expert.
Then.
After strengthening and amplification.
Any ordinary cannon fodder could be directly elevated to the level of top-tier cannon fodder.
Although still cannon fodder, it was a huge improvement.
Such things were naturally very useful to the team members.
Especially.
In large quantities.
Their already maxed-out immortal power limit, with the improvement from some recipes and materials, continued to grow.
Their immortal power recovery speed, under extreme conditions, also broke through and improved again.
It could almost reach a state where divine abilities could be used infinitely, and even immortal power could support it.
As for domains and laws.
Although Lin Feng had mailed them over.
He still told them to observe cautiously, and not to use them easily even if they were promoted to Quasi-Saint or even Saint level.
They would continuously improve within their own capabilities.
Their combat power also rose with the tide.
Just after the first wave of digestion and absorption, each person's combat power had at least doubled.
It was believed that after fully digesting everything, their combat power would increase several more times.
In reality, their original Level 5 strength might even break through to Level 6.
Creating a miracle of Grand Unity Golden Immortals rivaling invincible Saints.
While the players in the game were rushing to exchange items with each other and improve their strength.
In reality.
Quite a few changes had occurred.
The demonized team's members, naturally, prioritized the game.
Leaving behind in reality, besides some liaison personnel, were only the banned players.
These players, unable to log into the game, could only stay in reality.
Many of them went out and began forming teams to hunt for demon shadows.
And the other two factions, after several battles with the native forces of Shui Lan Star, the invasion situation also began to change gradually.
Most of the Immortals and Buddhas from the other world had their true bodies arrive on Shui Lan Star.
They appeared with increasing frequency.
This also caught many Shui Lan Star players, who were hunting for demon shadows, off guard, resulting in many casualties.
As for the other side.
The invasion of the demon shadow world was also deepening.
Compared to the other world, their numbers could only be described as terrifying.
If someone were in the wild, they would discover a magical phenomenon.
What initially appeared to be a dozen demon shadows in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, it might become hundreds.
This was not splitting.
But the current situation of the fusion and confrontation of two worlds.
And the rapid influx of these two sides happened to coincide with the major changes in the game and the Shui Lan Star players focusing on the game.
This time, the balance was broken.
Countless enemies began attacking human cities one after another.
The players, who had lost a small portion of their numbers, responded in a hurry.
But they were continuously defeated.
When they quickly called for the players in the game.
The situation finally began to change.
Players, armed with powerful treasures exchanged from the game and from Zhan Shen Ba Dao, easily fought against opponents they couldn't contend with before.
Level 2 and Level 3 players, one after another, roared and charged towards the Level 4 experts on the opposite side.
Before the opponents could sneer and mock them, their heads were easily taken.
Shocking the entire audience.
This time.
Instead, the two enemy factions were caught off guard, suffering heavy casualties.
After some investigation, both sides changed their strategies.
They increased their attention to the humans of Shui Lan Star.
You send three Level 3s.
Then I'll send two Level 4s.
Is that enough?
Under this strategy.
The casualties from the other world were greatly reduced.
Even.
They managed to ambush and kill quite a few players who thought they were invincible just because they had treasures.
These players were only focused on the thrill of challenging higher levels.
They forgot that Level 4 experts were Saints from the start.
They had domain advantages.
While a treasure could indeed enhance strength.
But when the opponent deliberately avoided its power and attacked its weaknesses, the treasure's effect would not be as significant.
However.
Due to the numerical advantage, the other world, although it recovered from the disadvantage.
It didn't gain much benefit either.
They could only temporarily form a stalemate.
But the attack from the other side, the demon shadows, was somewhat different.
Just as as many as eight members of the Zhan Shen team were in the game, exchanging items for the players.
A vast army of demon shadows suddenly appeared.
In front of the former demon shadow cave, it appeared instantly.
If someone had cultivated their Heavenly Dao amplified wisdom eye divine ability to a very high level, they would discover.
The strength of this army was excessively strong.
The vanguard army of over a thousand people was entirely at the Saint level of Level 4.
And the central army was guarded by hundreds of Level 5 experts.
At the very center of the army.
And the part with the most intense aura.
Forty-eight Level 6 experts stood solemnly.
Such a large number of invincible Saints had already surpassed the total number of Level 6 experts on Shui Lan Star.
But this was not all.
Above them, there were indeed sixteen demon shadows with even greater auras.
These were Level 7 experts standing at the apex of Shui Lan Star's combat power.
Beings at the level of Heavenly Dao Saints.
If these Heavenly Dao Saints had appeared all at once before, Shui Lan Star would have fallen into panic.
Even the demonized team could only flee in disarray.
Without the Zhan Shen team activating the combat power monitoring device's energy shield, they would be powerless to resist.
But even these top-tier existences.
They were actually lowering their heads, without any arrogance.
Instead, as soon as the army stabilized on the ground of Shui Lan Star.
These eight demon shadows, with their extremely dense blackness, spoke in unison.
"Welcome, Your Excellency!"
