A different world game? A different world game!

The city surrounding the tower.

South City.

In the conference hall.

The Night's Watch's high command gathered here once again.

In the spacious conference hall, light streamed through the huge alchemical crystal windows, illuminating the tiny dust particles in the air.

The core members responsible for each department had already taken their seats around that iconic, huge round table.

The air was thick with a serious yet slightly tense atmosphere, foreshadowing the importance of the topics to be discussed.

Aliris sat upright in the main seat, her back straight as a javelin, her authority as judge silently radiating.

Her blood-red eyes, as clear as precious rubies, slowly swept over each of the executives present with a scrutinizing gaze.

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the smooth tabletop, producing a crisp sound that broke the brief silence.

"That stinky rat, he's late again."

Her expression was serious, but there was no blame in her voice; instead, there was a hint of doting helplessness.

The others at the table also smiled.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the heavy oak door was pushed open with a bang.

Popote, dressed in a pristine white mage's robe, practically rolled in, his round figure looking rather disheveled.

She stood with her hands on her hips, her small chest heaving violently, clearly having run all the way here.

Her round, dark eyes immediately glared at Aliris in the main seat, and she squeaked in dissatisfaction, her little mustache twitching with anger.

"The majestic Lady Areris is talking badly about me again."

She was panting heavily as she complained in her distinctive, slightly high-pitched voice in a sarcastic tone.

At the same time, she nimbly climbed towards the high stool specially made for her—after all, as a round-eared rat-person, she was much shorter than the shortest dwarf, and without this stool, she couldn't even reach the tabletop.

After settling into her seat, Popper seemed to feel that her "entrance" hadn't made her presence felt strong enough, so she patted the seat twice with her fluffy tail before looking around with satisfaction.

Listening to her complaints and the expressions of habit and even amusement on the faces of everyone present, Alyris simply raised an eyebrow slightly.

The Night's Watch's top brass are close-knit and know each other well, so these small meetings usually don't need to be overly formal.

Everyone knew that what they were discussing at that moment was often a major issue concerning the future of the entire organization and even the world.

On the contrary, even someone as unconventional as Popper would restrain himself and display due solemnity at large-scale plenary meetings—even though those meetings were more communicative in nature.

Sitting to Alyris's right, the towering Lurek was the first to speak.

He stroked his thick beard, a憨厚 smile on his face, breaking the little interruption caused by Popper: "To be honest, Popper, the portals you guys make are getting better and better!"

He gestured in the air with his thick fingers.

"This time after being teleported back, my old bones didn't feel too much dizziness or discomfort, which is really strange. And..."

He paused, frowned, and pried open his thick fingers, seemingly trying to recall.

"The number of times seems to have decreased? I remember the last time I teleported, it seemed to have taken... five times? Yes, it took five teleports to get back!"

Hearing this slightly exaggerated praise, Popper's unhappiness from being scolded for being late vanished instantly. She proudly raised her little head, her round ears twitching triumphantly, her voice filled with undisguised pride.

"Hmph, of course! Our teleportation technology is constantly being updated and iterated, so naturally it has to be made better and better."

She waved her little paw excitedly in the air, "Our goal is to connect the entire world into a giant teleportation network!"

However, General Black, sitting opposite Popper with a ramrod-straight posture like a soldier, frowned.

He placed his hands on the table, his knuckles turning slightly white from the pressure, showing his seriousness about the matter and a hint of dissatisfaction.

“Popot, convenient teleportation is a good thing. But…”

He leaned forward slightly, his tone serious.

"Can we find a way to increase the teleportation capacity? Currently, most teleportation is done by individuals, and the amount of supplies that can be transported is extremely limited!"

He spread one hand, his tone tinged with helplessness: "The energy cost of teleportation is almost equal to the value of the supplies themselves. This is hardly enough to mobilize a large number of troops."

As the commander of the Night's Watch army, Black commands the army, but primarily commands the Guardians of Light, which are modeled after the army.

He knew all too well how crucial the ability to rapidly and systematically deploy troops would be in the face of an impending large-scale conflict.

While current teleportation networks are advanced, they are almost incapable of supporting legion-level operations.

Although those large teleportation nodes exist, they are almost all used to support the operation of countless small individual teleportations, and large troops still have to rely on slow ships or marches.

This predicament stands in stark contrast to the Night Watchers' advantage of being able to rapidly deploy intelligence and forces through single-target teleportation.

When faced with Blake's pointed question, Popper's initial smugness was quickly extinguished.

She put her little paws on her hips, curled her tail in a little annoyance, and raised her voice: "Blake, it's not that simple."

She sighed, as if she felt she needed to explain more clearly, “Expanding the current teleportation system to support the kind of large-scale troop teleportation you envision is extremely difficult. Let me be clear,” she held up two thin fingers, “there are only two ways.”

Popper raised his first finger, his expression unusually serious: "The first possibility is that another god will be born in our world. Moreover, the main rules of this god must include space, especially the aspect of spatial teleportation."

Then she raised a second one: "The second one," her gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Ariris with a hint of anticipation, "is the successful completion of the 'God Kingdom Project.' As long as it's within the scope of the God Kingdom Project, where the rules are under our control, any teleportation effect you desire can theoretically be achieved."

Blake frowned even more deeply after hearing this, but he could only shake his head helplessly and say nothing more.

He understood that Popper was telling the truth, and that his question was more of an expression of expectation.

After all, with the ever-present threat of the Void Rift, quick reaction time is extremely important.

Each time a rift opens without warning, it means that the Night Watchers stationed in the area have to use their own flesh and blood to buy time, resulting in heavy casualties.

Even more terrifying is that if the entire Night's Watch is wiped out by a powerful enemy, their souls may be corrupted and eroded, and the chance of resurrection is slim—this has become the biggest cause of abnormal casualties among the Night's Watch.

Maxim, an elf who was also a mage scholar and sat next to Blake, keenly grasped the key point.

Their voices held a hint of inquiry: "Popot, what about Kana? I remember when he became a god, didn't he also master some spatial rules? His divine power seemed to be able to influence space as well." As high-ranking members, they were aware of some of the rules Kana mastered after becoming a god, especially the widespread availability of spatial equipment, which was clear evidence of this.

Upon hearing this, Poppot spread his little paws and explained, "That's not His Majesty Cana's main rule; it's a very minor one. Although we did iterate on teleportation technology under his guidance, which led to our current progress."

She shook her little head.

"But divine power also has its focus. That's why I think that unless a god whose main rule is space appears, or the divine kingdom project successfully achieves control at the rule level, then that kind of large-scale, low-cost teleportation... will really be difficult to achieve in the short term."

Just as Popper finished explaining and everyone fell into a brief moment of thought, Alyris, sitting at the head of the table, tapped the table lightly with her knuckles again. The crisp sound was like a command, instantly drawing everyone's attention back.

“Alright, everyone,” Alyris’s voice regained the judge’s characteristic coolness and decisiveness, her ruby-like eyes sweeping across the room with her usual authority.

"Enough with the small talk. Now, let's get down to business."

Her gaze lingered on everyone's faces for a moment, making sure everyone was focused.

She took a slight breath and announced, "Our leader, His Highness Kana, returned a few days ago."

This statement is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

Uncle Lurek's face immediately broke into a relieved smile, and he slapped the table with his hand: "You're back? Oh, that's wonderful."

Blake subconsciously raised an eyebrow, a hint of relaxation and anticipation flashing in his eyes.

The others present also showed expressions of joy to varying degrees.

Although Kana has long since relinquished worldly affairs, his every appearance as a leader and pillar of support, especially for those in the core leadership, always brings new direction and strength.

And this time, the people had indeed not seen him for quite some time.

Without pausing, Alyris cut straight to the heart of the matter: "His Majesty Kana's return brings with it a crucial plan."

Her tone became more forceful, and her gaze sharpened. "This plan is expected to solve many of the key problems we are currently facing."

Before the words were even finished, Maxim blurted out, his eyes gleaming, "Could it be... something related to advancing to legendary status?"

As a key figure in charge of the Night's Watch's internal promotion system and development planning, he was most sensitive to this.

Alyris nodded firmly, a rare, faint smile even appearing on her lips: "Exactly."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the conference hall seemed to be ignited.

Everyone's faces showed immense surprise and anticipation.

The lack of legendary combat power is indeed a problem that has plagued the Night's Watch leadership for a long time, like a sword hanging over their heads.

Maxim leaned forward slightly, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

His current predicament flashed through his mind: [The sentence is incomplete and requires more context to be translated accurately.]

Although the Night's Watch has gained the goodwill and even support of many legendary figures, especially those legends on the continent of Taril who have publicly fought against the "Rat Plague".

But quantity! The key is quantity!
The legendary demands scattered across the vast world and at every crucial juncture are like a bottomless pit.

Although the astral dragons are powerful, their responsibilities are dispersed and they are difficult to command directly.

The alchemical dragons are firefighters, but they are still struggling to keep up with the increasing frequency of Void Vanguard invasions and the immense pressure of the Abyss Bloodbath.

The legendary figures of the land, though aware of the global crisis, are bound by their own stances and interests, making it impossible for them to completely obey the Night's Watch, especially when the Night's Watch's efforts to unite the world's forces against the Void inevitably touch upon the fundamental interests of the old powers...

The Divine Kingdom Project requires the Abyss to provide massive energy, and breakthroughs in the Abyss require legendary combat power.

The expansion and consolidation of power on the continent of Talia requires legendary combatants to oversee it.

Legendary power is required to defeat the Void Rift Vanguard.

Even in the event of a potential future international conflict, sufficient legendary combat power would be needed for deterrence and suppression in order to concentrate forces...

Each one is urgent, and each one is eagerly awaiting its arrival.

Now, Cana has brought back a plan to solve this core bottleneck, which is like a ray of dawn piercing through the gloom, giving everyone hope that the Night's Watch is about to usher in another leap forward in development.

Inside the conference hall, a feeling of excitement and anticipation spread silently.

"Kana always manages to bring exciting good news. To be honest, I feel like we're becoming too dependent on him."

Lurek shook his head helplessly as he spoke.

This is indeed true.

The Night's Watch does indeed rely heavily on Karna, but there's nothing that can be done about it.

What other normally developing organization could grow into such a behemoth in just a decade or two like the Night's Watch?

Not only they themselves, but also those forces clearly knew that the core issue lay in the existence of this person, Kana.

"Alright, there's no point in saying such discouraging things now. After all, during the time he started to divest himself, we at least did a pretty good job, didn't we?"

Popper offered a rare word of comfort.

This idea arose after Cana became a god and began to delegate the responsibility of holding power.

They also knew very well why Kana did this. After Kana became a god, he needed a broader perspective to do things that only gods could do.

It is highly inappropriate to impose one's own burdens on another.

During this time, they did indeed proceed in an orderly manner. Apart from the sudden invasion of the void crisis, which caused them some panic and minor problems, everything was under control.

"So how should we prepare for this operation? What kind of coordination do we need?"

After all, it allows a level 10 Night Watchman to advance to Legendary status.

It's definitely not a simple matter.

If it were that simple, Kana wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble.

"The specific components haven't come out yet, only a certain framework has been established. Your Highness is still thinking about how to fill in the details, but it shouldn't take long."

Now we need to discuss preparing with a rather broad, preliminary perspective, because this is no small matter, and it can't be kept secret any longer. (End of Chapter)
