Free Web NovelChapter 1549: Chapter 962: The Path of Transcendence (XI): Half a Year
Tony stayed in Demon City for three days.
In those three days, he made quite a few friends, and also gained a deeper understanding of the influence of "Elf Kingdom".
Three days later, he went back into the game.
His vacation was about done; it was time to set out on the next expedition...
...
The offline celebration of "Elf Kingdom" was just a small interlude.
Although grand, for "Elf Kingdom" with its eighty million players, at most it could only be considered a festival belonging to the Chosen Ones.
Hell wars, plane expeditions, relic exploration...
Now the entire game map was getting larger and larger, and players had far too many activities they could engage in.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Goddess, who had appeared at the celebration venue in projection form, also ended the connection and returned from the temple on the World Tree to the Divine Country.
Divine Power surged, radiance flickered, and Her figure slowly changed, turning into the appearance of Divine Favored Zero.
It was Eve’s incarnation.
"Your Divine Crown..."
The Fairy King Fenrir came before Divine Favored Zero and bowed respectfully.
By now, the identities of Divine Favored Zero and Wind were no longer a secret to these Myth followers.
Letting Her gaze sweep over Fenrir, Divine Favored Zero smiled faintly.
Divine Power surged again, and She once more returned to the form of the Goddess, sitting upon the divine throne.
"Any new information lately?"
She asked.
As time went by, the power this incarnation of Eve possessed grew smaller and smaller.
By today, although She could still maintain the minimum level of True God power, Her perception had almost fallen below the mythic level, and Her Divine Soul Power was extremely weakened.
The players’ footsteps now covered the entire universe; they were essentially Eve’s eyes.
In the past, for things like all kinds of information in the universe, She didn’t need to ask Fenrir at all, just a glance at the game system network was enough.
But now, this incarnation could only rely on Fenrir.
However, this wasn’t a bad thing.
Eve’s incarnation knew that this meant the main body’s advancement had reached a critical moment, and had drawn back Her own consciousness, which in turn affected the Divine Soul Power of the incarnation.
This meant the main body was very likely about to awaken.
"Your Divine Crown, the plane fusion is still progressing steadily. In the past month, a total of 102 planes have successfully fused. In addition... the Chosen Ones have established new teleportation points on 217 planes."
"Last month, we added one million new Chosen Ones, with 5,432 people reincarnating. Among them, 4,895 chose to retain their game memories and seal their Blue Star memories, reincarnating as ’amnesiac reincarnators’; 537 chose to erase all memories and reincarnate as newborn Primordial Elves."
"Across the whole server, 8,919 new Gold rank players were added, among whom 423 were Upper, 2,146 were Mid, and 6,350 were Lower."
"At present, the total number of players on the server has reached 83.27 million, among whom Gold players total 1.13 million, silver players 78.21 million, and black iron players 3.91 million."
"The players’ influence on the universe is steadily increasing..."
"..."
Fenrir reported each data point with a solemn expression, while Eve’s incarnation sat upright on the divine throne, nodding lightly.
Gold Upper Level Full Level was the ceiling for players, because Legend involved comprehension of the laws, so... Eve had no intention of opening that to the players.
That was no longer something one could reach by simply leveling up and grinding. Unless Eve forcefully poured Divine Power into them, but that would go against Her original intention.
Because the cost required to raise a single player to Legend far exceeded the energy he himself could bring to Eve.
The balance of income and expenditure just didn’t work.
In truth, the Gold rank was already enough. After all, the players had developed increasingly outrageous Magic Technology. Power at the Legend level could naturally be achieved through doomsday weapons like aerial fortresses and Floating Cities.
Of course, the path to Legend wasn’t completely cut off. For those reincarnated players, Eve would open up that possibility, and grant them a strand of Power of Laws at the moment of their reincarnation to accelerate their comprehension during their growth.
And all of this was for one purpose: to pry loose the creator’s control over the Segis Universe.
"Still no news of Rigdar...?"
Eve’s incarnation asked again.
Fenrir shook his head:
"None. We haven’t found any trace of him anywhere in the entire game network."
"What about the Abyss?"
"The conflict among the Demon Gods is still escalating. Ever since we secretly spread the oracle that Your main body is about to recover, the relationship between the Demon Gods Belusabab, Mammon, and Belial and Leviathan has grown increasingly hostile."
"And Helair?"
"He has not appeared. This First Demon God has also fallen silent; we don’t know what he’s doing. As You know, the seventh layer of Hell where he resides lies in the deepest part of the Abyss, and he is the strongest among the Demon Gods. If he wants to conceal himself, it’s very difficult for us to know what he’s up to."
After listening to Fenrir, Eve nodded slightly.
Fenrir hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help asking:
"Your Divine Crown, why did You spread the news that Your main body is about to awaken? Wouldn’t that be... not very safe?"
Eve’s incarnation was slightly taken aback, then smiled:
"Fenrir, do you think there is anyone in this universe, aside from the creator, who has the strength to threaten my existence?"
Fenrir froze.
He quickly reacted and said in sudden realization:
"I understand..."
Having fused more than half of the material worlds in the entire universe that possessed complete laws, and now about to step onto true Greatness, within the Segis Universe, aside from the creator, Eve already had no enemy left who could threaten Her life.
