Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 563 Registration is finally open.

With the launch of one event after another, the total number of registered players of "Ten Continents Chronicles" exceeded 100 million in just one month.

The authority over the celestial body Taiyin, namely the moon, was completely transferred to Fang Xianyu. In exchange, the surrounding celestial bodies began to be developed, and soon, new races would move in.

In addition, Nuwa also signed an agreement with Fang Xianyu to open up the world of the surrounding celestial bodies, which will allow for a significant increase in the number of maps that players can wreak havoc on in the future.

Strictly speaking, the Blue Star civilization only possessed the ability to contact the Alliance and glimpsed a tiny fraction of countless universes; it did not formally join the Alliance.

Under these circumstances, Nuwa would be unlikely to develop the Guixu Realm.

However, the alliance's approval and certification process takes over a century. If nothing unexpected happens, Earth would have already established diplomatic relations with many other civilizations. Acting first and asking for permission later does not violate the alliance's law; at most, it's just skirting the rules.

and……

"If the Twenty-Eight Mansions development project is undertaken by our Taiyin Sect, the cost will be quite high, and the construction period will be difficult to guarantee, since your requirements are exceptionally high."

Fang Xianyu put down the agreement in his hand and bargained, saying, "At least you have to give me the authority over the sun."

As the representative for the negotiations, the old acquaintance Yin Quan spread his hands and said, "We can't make that decision. The Sun is Taiyi's property, so you have to go and negotiate with Taiyi."

Fang Xianyu narrowed his eyes: "If I remember correctly, you should belong to the third branch of the Tianji Pioneer Group of the Pioneer Center of the 41st Star System, and have nothing to do with the private investment from Nuwa. But now it seems... you've received quite a lot of benefits, haven't you?"

Yin Quan smiled and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm currently processing my resignation, which will take a little time. However, my next job will be as an advisor to Nuwa, so I'm the one who came to contact you."

Fang Xianyu didn't really care about these things. In fact, as a civilization whose technological level was more than a generation behind others, she was even thinking of giving up.

Of course, that's just wishful thinking.

The Tiangong Base was a place that Fang Xianyu specifically designated for the Chinese people for strategic cooperation and investment purposes, for the purpose of scientific research and psionic development.

But what Fang Xianyu truly relied on was the original "Taiyin-Guangcheng Research Institute".

Besides the famous "Laboratory Ma Lou" and "Scapegoat Palace Giant" and other people sent by the Chinese, there were actually many more cultivators from various sects.

The original disciples of Guangcheng Sect gradually became diluted with the addition of more and more outside cultivators, but the overall level of the research institute steadily improved.

In fact, this research institute is Fang Xianyu's most precious asset—a group of "otherworldly scientists" who have already been trained and possess the ability to explore and the spirit of research.

Many psionic weapons and various theories originated from this laboratory, which is second only to the psionic research institute established by Wang Qiqing himself in terms of reputation.

Moreover, the latter's fame stems primarily from the fact that its director is Wang Qiqing, the legendary "Professor Wang"...

In terms of actual achievements, the Taiyin-Guangcheng Research Institute is still more impressive.

The factories on the other side of the Ten Thousand Mountains were gradually separated from the China project team. In addition to Huang Gong, Jiao Xueling, and Wei Congrong, who had sided with him in the early days, Fang Xianyu also boldly appointed a group of new cultivators who had come to join him, such as managers and elders from the Misty Immortal Sect and the Taiyi Sect.

If Fang Xianyu could regain control of the Sun, he would be able to dominate the planet Guixu.

Unfortunately, the Supreme God Taiyi did not agree.

Besides the inherent value of the sun as a man-made celestial body, it also reflects Fang Xianyu's distrust.

That's understandable. After all, for Taiyi, the investment in the Guixu Realm was all he had. Having lost his "civil servant" status in the pioneering group, he could only cling to the Guixu Realm's development to recoup his losses for the time being.

If Taiyi still had the Sun, he could at least keep Fang Xianyu in check. But if he transferred the Sun, and Fang Xianyu suddenly decided to destroy the Guixu Realm, the resulting economic losses would be devastating for Taiyi!

"Currently, the balance remains." Fang Xianyu tapped the table lightly, lost in thought.

The temporary balance is a relative equilibrium between the Blue Star civilization represented by the Chinese nation, Nuwa, a private investor subject to the so-called alliance, and the power representing the coexisting world civilization.

Among them, Nuwa's side is the most uncontrollable; the technological gap is not something that can be easily controlled by a simple alliance law.

To achieve a more stable balance, we need to tighten the chains between the two weaker sides and also accelerate technological development.

"The new season of 'Ten Continents Chronicles' is now live! Join our eponymous themed community!"

"Finally! On January 22nd, the eve of the Lunar New Year, 'Ten Continents Chronicle' will be fully open for registration!"
"A magnificent and vast otherworld, with ten continents within the seas and three islands overseas, a map so grand it's dizzying. Magnificent immortal myths, gods, ghosts, monsters, and demons... and the number one immortal cultivation sect in the world, built from scratch with the hard work of countless players!"

"Starting from the new season, the starting map for new players will be Penglai Island. After reaching level 10, players can freely explore the Guixu Realm map. After reaching level 50, players will enter the new season storyline, [The Seven Mansions of the East]!"
"In the new season's storyline, we have updated the city-building missions, the map exploration and wilderness combat system, and also updated the new immigrant faction - mysterious guests from beyond the world!"

"...More surprises await you!"
"See you on January 22nd!"

"The final interpretation of this announcement and publicity belongs to the game developer of 'Ten Continents Chronicle'."

"Otherworld Network Technology Co., Ltd."

Whether on forums or in the announcements popping up on the game login screen, this announcement, neither too long nor too short, kept refreshing its presence in the sight of players and netizens. Its content spread rapidly, even becoming a hot topic of discussion in various player groups.

"Holy crap, has the game designer finally figured out and decided to make big money?"

"This is incredible! I thought this game would never be released without a limit on the number of players!"

"Speaking of which, it seems it's because they said the game developers set up a new server that can handle a lot of data?"

"I think they only had the money to rent servers because they'd made enough money, right?"

"But to be fair, this game isn't too pay-to-win!"

"And this doesn't even require spending money! The outfits they offer are so expensive! I wouldn't even buy clothes that expensive in real life!"

"You don't have to buy it!"

"Wait a minute, am I the only one who cares about some themed community with the same name? Is Shizhou finally going to enter the real estate development business?"

"Oh, you mean that house lottery ticket? Do you think anyone actually wins it?"

"Statistically speaking, 0.5% is actually quite high!"

"Anyway, the new season's lottery results are on the eve of the Lunar New Year. We'll see then. I don't believe this little game is really willing to give away hundreds of houses!"

"What? You're planning to do a handstand and have diarrhea to freeload too?"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

Wang Ergou: ?
