Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1395: Chapter 363: King of Acting’s Time, the Big Fish Bites

After more than two years of development.

The Player Forum has divided different growth modes into two types, namely the Righteous Path and Evil Cultivator.

The Righteous Path refers to mainstream growth gameplay.

War, hunting, competitive sports, fishing, spirit chef, dungeons... These are mainstream gameplay, also the growth choices for the vast majority of players.

Evil Cultivator refers to the growth mode that goes against mainstream gameplay.

A representative player is: Little Mage.

His growth route is called the Great Demon King by players, rebelling from the Player Faction and establishing a brand new force outside.

He is also considered one of the strongest players by many.

There are many other Evil Cultivator playstyles.

One playstyle in Evil Cultivator that leans toward mainstream is Pet Flow, initially called Control Flow.

By capturing external pets, one obtains a pet that cannot be enhanced through Life Soul traits, only given active trait effects.

This is fundamentally different from the Summoning Stream.

If it’s a Life Soul summon, it can integrate all of the player’s abilities.

For example, abilities like Ink Flame and Rushing Thunder mastered by players can directly be conferred to the Summoned Beast.

However, external pets can only receive enhancements like Blood Burning and Broken Wind, enhancing them with active trait effects.

Going against mainstream gameplay is exactly the characteristic of Evil Cultivator.

The appearance of Summoning Stream has introduced a concept of a contest between Righteous Path and Evil.

Some players preparing to follow the Summoning Stream even stated: "There was rampant evil back then, now is the time for righteousness to rise."

These words undoubtedly express a message to Pet Flow players.

The times have changed; the orthodox Summoning Stream is about to suppress Evil Cultivator’s Pet Flow, with the seventh orthodox faction about to make its appearance.

Due to this, Pet Flow players felt a sense of crisis and began discussing how to break the situation.

If truly discussing growth potential.

Pet Flow is evidently not as good as Summoning Stream.

Summoning Stream can integrate all Life Soul traits and can even grant pets Luck Soul bonuses.

Players only need to improve their own strength, and the strength of the Summoned Beast will significantly improve alongside.

Unlike Pet Flow, which requires frequent pet replacements.

But in the eyes of Pet Flow players, their advantage is something Summoning Stream players cannot compare to.

They can possess pets controlled beyond their own strength.

The Shuyan Warrior of the past was one of the representative pets.

At its peak, a single Shuyan Warrior could easily overwhelm a group of top-tier players. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

But with the changing of times.

Just like the rivalry between Monster Stream and Star Vein Flow of the past.

The glory of Monster Stream waned as the Star Vein Flow system gradually perfected.

Until Monster Stream received epic-level enhancements, only then did it barely keep up with the Star Vein Flow growth mode.

Pertinent to similar dilemmas faced by Pet Flow.

As the strength of Shuyan Warrior can no longer keep up with the player’s growth progress, Pet Flow must capture new powerful pet channels to rise.

During this period, a player proposed the idea of capturing members of the Divine Artifact Clan, stirring discussions among Pet Flow players.

The combat power of this race generally surpasses 120, and even higher.

The leader of the Divine Artifact Clan, "Evil Sword," boasts a hunting level of 325, if the channel to capture members of the Divine Artifact Clan can be established, combat power can be supplemented through the Divine Artifact Clan for a long time.

In the "Pets" section of the forum, players immediately expressed their thoughts.

Wanting to pool money to build a Teleportation Array to advance toward the Divine Artifact Clan’s territory.

To better capture pets, Pet Flow players voluntarily gathered information related to the Divine Artifact Clan, engaging in exchanges to develop specific capture plans.

During this time, background information supplemented by Research Party players from the past was unearthed.

It mentioned a lot of relevant knowledge about the Divine Artifact Clan.

Originally appearing in a live stream of an Exploration Faction player, the Divine Artifact Clan is a parasitic type of lifeform, requiring a host companion to grow by absorbing the host’s negative emotions.

Thus, the more suffering the host experiences, the stronger the members of the Divine Artifact Clan become.

This fate determines that the artifact will lead the host step by step towards destruction.

Slaughtering relatives, betraying friends, conviction collapse... The Divine Artifact Clan will continuously seduce the host in the form of an elder or Protector, and every life parasitized by the artifact will ultimately die in despair.

After extracting the host’s value, the artifact goes in search of new hosts, continuing the parasitic cycle.

At that time, the Exploration Faction player who encountered members of the Divine Artifact Clan felt unable to seize the opportunity, choosing to sell this fortune to the well-known forum player "Suffering Brothers."

Thus revealing the background data of the Divine Artifact Clan.

Unlike other racial forces, encountering them means combat.

Though the combat power of members of the Divine Artifact Clan is strong, there are many exploitable weaknesses.

If one says the Divine Artifact Clan is like blood worms parasitizing other living creatures, the Suffering Brothers back then reversely parasitized the Overlord Sword, extracting the Power of Pain, until ultimately it was killed to gain hunting rewards.

Based on the early video footage unearthed, Pet Flow players found the characteristics of the Divine Artifact Clan’s parasitic targets.

They can accurately lock onto those living creatures pressed into the swamp by fate.

Whether being bullied by other members of their race, or in survival crises, or misunderstood by their race... the more one teeters on the edge of survival, the more they attract the Divine Artifact Clan following the scent of suffering.

Souls relentlessly kneaded by pain, like rotting fruits in a gutter, are the most perfect parasitic containers in their eyes.​​

The Divine Artifact Clan also appears under the guise of a Savior, leading the parasitized life into the desperate abyss they have woven.
