Chapter 723 The Final Unsealing Request - The Convergence Zone

Does the Hunter's Guild not know that its Stardust and Seliana are practically being swallowed up in disguise?
They certainly knew, and understood, the situation better than anyone else.

However, they simply did not have any effective countermeasures.

The combination of the Sun Legion and the Sunship is a devastating blow to the Hunter's Guild in every sense. Perhaps some of those who already benefit from their high positions can use their strong willpower and self-interest to resist the benefits of the Sun Legion.

However, the lower-level hunters, especially the fifth generation members who are mainly young people and make up more than half of the total number of Star and Moon members, totaling 500 people, will not be so easy to go back after eating good food.

Although people are very adaptable, if Cheng Tianzhen just packs up and leaves, there's not much they can do. After a painful period of adjustment, they will eventually return to their original lives and, at some point in the future, start to miss the benefits of the Lieyang. Why go back to eating the leftovers when you can eat something new?

The Grand Commander is a front-line combatant. Although he seems to be in a high position, his interests are actually more aligned with those of the hunters at the bottom. He knows what kind of "despair" the hunters, who have been almost completely assimilated by the Blazing Sun Legion, will be in when Cheng Tian leaves.

Not to mention, the Balance Sect, which currently maintains a balance between redemption and sacrifice and greatly reduces the occurrence of soul and body distortions among hunters, exists entirely based on Cheng Tian.

If Cheng Tian leaves, there will be no one who can perfectly take his place and continue to provide the power to maintain the balance between redemption and sacrifice.

Oh, and there's another potentially fatal possibility—

That is, these hunters who are used to the benefits of the Sunfire Legion and do not have a lofty belief in "maintaining ecological balance" may choose to leave the guild directly and become NPCs stationed in the legion, similar to puppet troops.

This is a devastating loss for Xingchen and Yuechen, almost equivalent to cutting off their lifeline!

This was practically blatant poaching, and the Hunter's Guild could only watch helplessly. As for trying to seize power through force, just like they had done with the Monster Riders back then...

It's not that Cheng Tian looks down on them, but the number of members who would respond to the Hunter Guild's Fifth Fleet is probably very small.

Moreover, Cheng Tian will not stop this matter at all, and the reason is very simple.

What gives you the right to stop young people from going to better places?
So what if I try to poach your partner right to your face?
"As you should know, Geralt of Rivia and I are actually quite similar; we are both visitors from another world. Moreover, I have my own things to do and cannot stay here permanently."

With their status completely reversed, and Cheng, who was now practically above the higher-ups of Starry Sky and Moon, explained while forcefully shoving the Grand Commander's head aside.

The commander, who seemed to have his brain completely occupied by his muscles, was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized that Cheng Tian's strength was far greater than before!

Breaking through the power limit doesn't just mean that Cheng Tian's base strength exceeds 50 points; it also means that the corresponding bonuses from Cheng Tian's equipment, skills, talents, and other factors can be perfectly reflected in the data panel.

When Cheng Tian first broke through, his strength was 53 points. He gained another 6 points from the sacrifice. With the original equipment bonus, Cheng Tian's strength value on his panel has reached 78 points.

This is almost the average level that many players in the Bronze B rank who mainly focus on strength can achieve. When the humanoid golden lion was clinging to Cheng Tian's leg, it wasn't going all out, so it was easily pushed aside.

"Besides, you guys made it through before the fifth generation arrived, so you can always apply for a sixth generation member after I leave~"

Cheng remained unmoved, completely unaffected by the Grand Commander. That's true; new recruits who hadn't encountered the Blazing Sun Legion would naturally be usable. However, the problem is that while the storyline focuses almost entirely on Azure Star in the Fifth Fleet, she was actually just the most outstanding member. The other members, though not as famous, were all seasoned veterans, selected through rigorous processes to join the Fifth Fleet.

The fact that this group was able to successfully land after their ship was capsized by the Lava Dragon and that not a single one of them died fully demonstrates their formidable strength.

These 500-plus people are already the elite of the elite. Even if the Hunter Guild wanted to gather such a group, it would be impossible to do so in a short time. Even if they were to form a sixth squad according to Cheng Tian's suggestion, the quality of the personnel would only drop sharply compared to the fifth squad, and they would not be in the same league at all.

In this era where the law of soul sacrifice exists, sending a group of inexperienced novices to the New World is tantamount to sending them to their deaths...

"How long does Commander Orange plan to stay?"

Unlike the Grand Master, Merlin, knowing it was impossible to stop Cheng Tian from leaving, asked directly.

Incidentally, the nickname "Orange Commander" wasn't Cheng Tian's own idea. It was someone else who started it after he killed Behemoth, and the nickname just spread like wildfire.

Cheng Tian had no objection to this; it sounded much better than being called "General Cheng"...

"Theoretically, I can leave at any time, but if I stay for the longest period, it will probably be about 26 standard hours."

Cheng Tian didn't hide anything and said this after glancing at the countdown timer for the stay.

"If that's the case, we hope that Commander Orange can accept the final commission from the guild, as this may be the only way to solve the distortion problem once and for all."

As if he had prepared it in advance, Merlin pulled out a task information sheet that had not yet been officially posted on the bulletin board.

As Cheng Tian received it, the corresponding spatial information popped up in front of him.

You have triggered the final quest from the Hunter's Guild—"The Convergence."

[Added main questline, team quests, and faction quests. A large amount of energy is flowing through the ley lines of the New World, and we have located the area where the energy is most concentrated.]

However, this energy also has a strong attraction to those monsters whose souls and bodies have been distorted due to the rules of soul sacrifice, resulting in a certain scale of monster migration. They are now converging in the same direction.

According to scholars, that direction, besides having the most concentrated ley line energy, may also be the source of the soul sacrifice rule that led to the emergence of the New World.

To uncover the truth, besides having the courage to face everything, one must also possess the formidable combat strength to withstand successive boss battles.
