Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 410 Endless Ruins
That's right, the most outrageous setting of [Endless Ruins] is here—completely random!
The design of this new dungeon has been criticized by players countless times, and the discussion on the forums has remained consistently heated. However, the game's official team has always played dead, adopting a shameless attitude of "play if you want, don't play if you don't want to," leaving everyone with no choice but to grit their teeth and endure it.

Completely random means that after the team enters the dungeon, they may encounter a demon lord that they cannot resist at all, or they may only encounter a few small, medium-sized demons. Although the experience reward will still vary depending on the strength of the BOSS, the final completion treasure chest will have the same quality and probability.

Most players with bad luck were dumbfounded after figuring out this – isn't this ridiculous? Is luck really a form of skill? If you're unlucky and always encounter the Demon Lord, resulting in a team wipe every time, wouldn't you never be able to clear the game?

The forum was filled with curses, but Fang Xianyu... Fang Xianyu pretended not to see them!
This design is a last resort.

After all, she could control the number and level of the Netherworld Demons entering the illusionary dungeons like the Great Thunder Dungeon and the Small Thunder Dungeon, which were built on the Nine Netherworld Passage. But she was completely powerless in the Five-Colored Array. If she had that ability, she would have already taken action to solve the Five-Colored Array once and for all!

Therefore, the entry of each player team into the small world within the Five-Colored Array is random, just like the dragons, spring spirits, and other alien races guarding the Five-Colored Array. They can only carry a special talisman called the "Return to Origin Talisman," which allows them to find the door to the central world, which serves as a buffer defense, among the many small worlds within the Five-Colored Array. This central world of the Five-Colored Array is what is known as the "queue space."

After passing through the teleportation array, Nietzsche and the other players arrived at a desolate wilderness.

The scenery here resembles a desert or Gobi, with fine sand and gravel underfoot. There is no vegetation, no greenery—or rather, apart from the silvery-brown sand and gravel, the earth has no other color. Looking into the distance, there is no end in sight, and the sky is devoid of sun, moon, and stars, as if time itself has become meaningless.

However, there is something here.

"Are you disciples of the Taiyin Sect? You're here to queue up, right?"

A rumbling sound came from behind them. When they turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, they found that the speaker was a huge dragon with golden scales.

He didn't seem to be in good condition; a piece of his dragon horn was broken off, the scales on his lower body were in disarray, and there were some bloodstains on the sand. Only his pair of silver-white vertical pupils were bright and piercing as he looked at the group of players.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the dragon, the players' noisy chatter fell silent for a moment, then erupted into even more exaggerated shouts—

"Wow! It's a dragon! It's a golden dragon!"

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

"I really want to touch its scales! Just a little bit! Just for a second!"

"Wake up! There's no compensation if you die. We still need to clear the land first!"

"But it's a dragon! It's a dragon!"

"Calm down! Please calm down!"

……

Normally, being treated like this would be extremely offensive, but Song Bing simply lay calmly on the ground, neither leaving nor making a sound to stop him.

The way these Taiyin Sect disciples looked at him was different from that of other human cultivators. There was no fear or greed in their eyes; instead, it was more like pure excitement and exhilaration, and some of them even seemed to have an expression of admiration...

Wait, admiration?

Song Bing frowned almost imperceptibly—a dragon-human relationship wouldn't work, would it? Besides, a creature without horns or scales is just too ugly!

"Hello," Nietzsche asked tentatively, ignoring the shouts of his uncooperative group members, "Are you... a guide NPC here?"

Interrupted from his thoughts, Song Bing lowered his head and looked at the small, short human on the ground, who had no horns or scales, had a low cultivation level but still possessed a certain imposing presence. He shook his head and replied, "I am the guard on duty at the central point of the Five-Colored Array this year, to prevent extraterrestrial demons from coming here."

Nietzsche then asked, "This year? Is it different every year?"

As she spoke, she introduced herself as usual: "My name is Nietzsche, and I am the president of the Taiyin Sect's Righteous Spirit Endures Society."

This is something veteran players understand—introducing yourself. You need to treat all the NPCs you interact with as if they were real people, including introducing yourself, in order to smoothly progress through certain storylines.

Song Bing stared at Nietzsche for a while before replying, "My name is Song Bing, and I am the Lord of Tai Mao Mountain."

He then continued, "The guards stationed at the central point of the Five-Colored Array are different every year, and there are five in total. They are located at the entrances of several other teleportation arrays."

Nietzsche suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

Before they could exchange more than a few words, a system notification suddenly popped up—

The queue for the [Endless Ruins] instance is now set. Please prepare to be teleported to the portal within 5 minutes.

Upon seeing the system message, Nietzsche immediately shouted into the group mic, "We've been queued for a dungeon! Everyone, get back to the teleportation point and get ready! If anyone messes up, don't blame me for being ruthless later!"

After speaking, she nodded apologetically to Song Bing as a greeting, and then hurriedly ran towards the teleportation array.

As the transmission was confirmed on the system interface, Nietzsche's vision changed.

Before long, countless skeletons appeared in the field of vision.

Or rather, it was a desolate wasteland covered with bones.

Among the scattered bones grew many low-growing grasses with gray leaves, while in the distance was the broken skeleton of a large animal—a keel.

Even in death, the oppressive aura emanating from that dragon bone made the newly arrived players feel quite uncomfortable for a while. Before they could react, a large number of birds swooped in from afar.

It is the Nine Nether Demon, a type of low-level demon that players are very familiar with: Night Owl.

"One tank pulls the mobs! Everyone else DPS, follow up! Attack the biggest one first! Healers, monitor your teammates' status! Vitality-based DPS, protect your healers!"

Nietzsche reacted very quickly and immediately began to direct the group.

The players then dispersed in an orderly fashion. Five players each grabbed two of the Night Owls, while Wu Ke rushed up to grab the largest one. He even took over the largest one, punching it several times until the leopard-sized Night Owl tumbled through the air several times before stumbling and crashing to the ground.

Then, a bunch of random talismans and spells came crashing down, some fire, some ice, and most of all, lightning of varying power. Accompanied by continuous screams, in an instant, the huge Night Owl turned into a wisp of black mist and dissipated, leaving only a hard, dark red feather on the ground.
