Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 276 The Essence of the Game: You Don't Lose Out, But I Gain a Huge Profit!
Is ten thousand years a long time for a powerful deity?
No, at least in the eyes of the three gods of the universe, this is nothing more than a matter of taking a nap.

Lin Ke only truly understood the game mechanics of Universe when the real game and Universe Games were truly integrated.

The underlying logic of Universal Games is actually quite similar to that of real games in many ways.

In other words, whether it's a real game or a global game, its core base is the player base.

But unlike real games.

The core of the real game is only Earth, and players are recruited in a gentle way.

Even the rules of the real game, which cover Earth, completely isolate Earth's time flow from the outside world.

But Universal Games is much more domineering.

Because there were three gods from the very beginning of the Universal Games.

Therefore, under the control of the three gods, the rules they seek for the players are very simple and brutal.

That means players should choose planets with advanced civilizations as their origin as possible.

After all, it's an ignorant planet. The creatures there are too ignorant to adapt, and they don't have the erudition and flexible thinking of creatures in modern civilizations.

Therefore, almost all of Universal Games' players, the 'Ascensioners,' come from the world after the Industrial Revolution.

Of course, Universal Games doesn't incorporate every modern civilization into its core platform.

The rules established by the three gods.

The main feature is that one 'Ascendant' is enough.

Furthermore, even on the chosen planets, the life forms on their surface will undergo a rigorous selection process.

The main theme is the survival of the fittest, and it even aims to make the 'elders' feel grateful.

have to say.

These three gods do have some tricks up their sleeves.

But there aren't many.

However, no matter what, the three gods were already quite powerful when they obtained the universe, so they certainly wouldn't be as gentle as in the real game.

Moreover, the most important point, which is also the key point that Lin Ke only just learned about now, is that...

That means the actual game was originally set on Earth.

Therefore, invisibly, the real game is influenced by the collective thinking of the beings on Earth, that is, humanity.

Thus began the extraordinary destiny that began for the ordinary planet Earth.

In the actual game, there are no three gods to activate them.

Therefore, it has been in a standby state for many years.

However, even in standby mode, the underlying logic of a real game, and its operation mechanism similar to an 'AI brain,' have made many preparations for 'booting up.'

Just like the power contract that the gods of the continent of Auckland had previously encountered in a real game.

Just like the fallen dragons, whose value was ultimately stripped away by the real game.

have to say.

At this point, Lin Ke finally understood the origin of the real game and the reason why everything started on Earth.

Fragments.

They're all fragments.

Like Universal Games, Real Games is also a fragment.

The fragments resembled dim, yellowish firelight.

The flames resembled fragments, but they weren't actually fragments.

In short, nobody knows what it is.

Even the Universal Game controlled by the three gods is the same.

However, the three gods speculated that this fragment might be related to the earliest secrets of the birth of the universe and the starry sea.

As for why the fragments' abilities appear in the form of a 'game'...

In fact, the God of a Thousand Faces is the most qualified to speak on this matter!

Just like Universal Games, it was originally obtained unintentionally by one of the incarnations of the God of a Thousand Faces.

The so-called "obtained unintentionally" is actually just another way of saying it.

When the God of a Thousand Faces discovered Universal Game, Universal Game was already operating in a world similar to modern civilization!

The God of a Thousand Faces destroyed that planet with absolute power at the very beginning of the game!
That planet wasn't as lucky as Earth.

There was no one like Lin Ke who could stop all of this.

Therefore, after that planet perished, 'Universal Games' fell into a state of 'self-isolation'.

The God of a Thousand Faces could not reactivate the Universal Game no matter what.

So in the end, this guy found the God of All Machines and the Mother of All Things.

Thus, through the tireless efforts and research of the three individuals.

Finally, Universal Games was reactivated.

There are three basic conditions that confirm the activation of the Universal Game.

First, a world civilization that has just entered the modern era has a high level of cognition and acceptance of the universe, and is worth nurturing. Subsequently, the fragment will unfold its power in a form that is most easily accepted by the beings of this world. Therefore, in the eyes of the God of a Thousand Faces, the fragment may not necessarily be presented in the form of a game, but there are not many options for the unfolding mode.

Second, there must be a lucky one on the planet chosen by the fragment. This lucky one may not be very strong, but will definitely have a very harmonious and mysterious compatibility with the 'fragment', and will have the opportunity to completely control and merge with the fragment in the future.

Third, once a fragment chooses a certain civilization as its underlying operating logic, even the mighty Three Gods cannot change this fact. Just as when the fragment was once again moved by the Three Gods to a planet that met the above two points, the players whose souls were protected by the world that Universal initially operated were eventually reborn when Universal resumed operation. Although it was a rebirth of the 'game world', they were indeed the first batch of players 'ascended'. Most of these people became members of the Three Gods' current direct descendants.

As for the purpose of the fragments, the three gods couldn't say for sure.

However, after encountering the real game, the three gods believed that the purpose of cultivating civilization with fragments was actually to enhance their own power, so that they could better search for other fragments and fuse them.

Furthermore, the three gods believed that the fragments themselves possessed their own will and consciousness, so once their side was strong enough, they could merge with other fragments.

This point becomes even more convincing when faced with real-world gameplay.

As for the first batch of players in the universe, it wasn't that the Three Gods didn't want to kill them at first, but that they couldn't!

Because Universal Games controls the souls and spiritual essence of these players, even if the three gods kill these resurrected 'players,' these players can still be resurrected in the game world once again.

These players are completely protected by Universal Games.

Even if Universal Games ultimately decides to relinquish its highest authority, it will be like Lin Ke now possessing a ten-thousand-year contract.

The Three Gods must absolutely not actively harm these players within ten thousand years.

As for the God of a Thousand Faces, due to his special divine abilities, Universal Games ultimately handed over the soul of the player who was the most 'suitable' for Universal Games.

In the end, the God of a Thousand Faces used his abilities to merge this chief player, who was similar to 'Lin Ke', into himself.

Although this player still has a self, he has actually become one of the many 'incarnations' of the God of a Thousand Faces.

In addition, perhaps influenced by the top player, Huanyu has a certain psychology of hatred towards all sides.

Thus, the universe ultimately divided power among the Mother of All Things and the God of All Machines, 'Cancer,' who were originally unrelated.

It's impossible for the God of a Thousand Faces to have no regrets about this!

But the God of a Thousand Faces is as divine as his name suggests.

This guy has too many 'personalities,' which has resulted in the Thousand-Faced God's true form having an unusually 'mental illness.'

Most of the time, the God of a Thousand Faces doesn't seem like a god.

Instead, he's like a 'god of fun'.

As long as it doesn't involve His fundamental interests, He treats many things as amusement and doesn't take them seriously at all.

Even when this guy gains the upper hand in battles against the God of Myriad Machines and the Mother of All Things for authority, he doesn't take it seriously at all.

He sells his entire clan without hesitation, and he cares even less about the planets and creatures to which his power belongs. But this guy is also a god who knows how to "get things done".

Sometimes, when searching for a powerful civilization in the game, or when drawing lots or arranging the order of civilization wars among the three gods, you might encounter situations where...

The God of a Thousand Faces will then seize the opportunity to launch a 'war of authority' against the other two gods who may be engaged in a war of civilizations.

With the God of a Thousand Faces doing this, the other two gods naturally wouldn't lag behind.

Thus, under the cunning maneuvering of the God of a Thousand Faces, although the scale of Universal Games has been expanding over the years, and the territory under the Civilization War has also become larger and larger.

However, with the three gods fighting independently, the overall strength of their subordinate clans did not see a significant qualitative leap.

However, the three gods' strength still has much to improve.

Before the three gods obtained and reactivated the Universal Game, none of them had reached the 'authority level'.

Moreover, in the beginning, these three gods all came from the same star system.

It also comes from an extremely rare Samsung system.

The so-called Samsung system.

It consists of three planets, similar to the relationship between Earth and the Moon.

These three planets orbit each other within a solar system, and all three are habitable planets.

Therefore, after the three gods emerged from their respective planets, they also went through some struggles, but ultimately none of them came out on top.

Thus, over many years they developed a tacit understanding that was both like friends and like enemies.

The three gods unite against external forces to ensure the growth of Samsung and their respective companies.

The God of a Thousand Faces suffers from 'mental illness,' so even after obtaining a treasure like the Universe...

This guy never thought of hiding and slowly searching for a way to activate it; instead, he chose to study the Cancer of All Machines and the Mother of All Things together.

That's how 'Universal Games' came to be with its current scale and structure!

To be honest, when the God of a Thousand Faces revealed all this information to Lin Ke, Lin Ke couldn't help but gasp in shock.

MD.

What exactly is this Thousand-Faced God?
Even if a normal person or a normal god obtains a treasure that they cannot use, they will still hide it away and study it slowly, right?

How could I possibly share it with someone who's both an enemy and a friend?

But that's exactly what the God of a Thousand Faces did!
This even resulted in two separate owners of the 'treasure'.

What's all this?
Another point that Lin Ke couldn't help but complain about was...

That is, after He and the Cancer of Myriad Machines tested each other, the God of a Thousand Faces took the lead and directly revealed the situation of the Universal Game to Lin Ke.

Furthermore, after the real game was completely integrated with the universe, this guy has now revealed everything about how he obtained the universe and his relationship with the two gods.

have to say.

Anyone who isn't mentally ill wouldn't do something like this.

After all, even if Lin Ke has now joined the Three Gods of the Universe camp, he is still a newly joined 'Outer God'!

If the God of a Thousand Faces did this, someone who didn't know better would think that he wanted to befriend Lin Ke and fight against the other two gods.

But what about reality?

After revealing the truth, and even after seeing the real game and the universal game reach a contract and begin the fusion process, the God of a Thousand Faces was the first to run away after transmitting this information to Lin Ke.

That is, leaving this strange, empty space.

In short, this scene left Lin Ke speechless.

And it wasn't just Lin Ke who remained silent; of course, the Cancer of Myriad Machines and the Mother of All Things, who were currently in this space, were also silent.

However, Lin Ke didn't care anymore.

Regardless of whether the God of a Thousand Faces is truly mentally ill or has ulterior motives, there is one thing He now knows.

That is, Universal Games does indeed possess the same methods as real games.

However, the level of nurturing 'players' and even providing powerful feedback for growth to those with authority is nowhere near as impressive as in a real game.

Or perhaps it's because Universal Games was forced to accept the three gods.

In Lin Ke's view, the growth rate of these three gods was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.

The three gods have controlled Universal Games for over 60,000 years.

But, just as Lin Ke saw it.

The current state of the three gods is simply that they all broke through to the level of authority about 20,000 years ago.

As for the so-called 'power struggle' between Universal Games.

In fact, it was just a promise made by the three gods themselves at the beginning of the reactivation of Universal Games, and the content of a certain contract reached under the witness of Universal Games.

The contract was very simple.

That is, provided that the three gods do not intervene, their respective clans and affiliated forces can fight each other.

When one faction is ultimately defeated by the other, the supreme authority of that deity will naturally be stripped away, thus losing all power in the game.

If any of the three gods can't accept defeat and steps down, the outcome will be the same.

The rules of Universal Games will directly revoke its privileges.

In short, this 'battle for control' has become one of the fundamental rules of the game.

But is the struggle for power such an easy war to wage?

A tripartite balance of power.

It is impossible for either side to see one of them defeated by the other.

After all, once one person gains full control of the game from the other, the remaining person has absolutely no chance of winning.

Therefore, over the years, although the three gods have always had conflicts, they have always eventually stopped fighting due to the intervention of the other one.

The three gods weren't fools, so Universal Games operated smoothly under their guidance.

And now there's Lin Ke.

Although there are more variables, the three gods think it's all about the same!

Having an additional decentralizer might seem to diminish the benefits everyone receives.

But don't forget that Lin Ke joined the team with his own funding.

With the integration of Real Game and Universal Game, the game will definitely change, and there will even be more benefits in terms of functionality and feedback.

Therefore, the three gods also knew that Lin Ke's decentralization was not a decentralization at all.

On the contrary, the three gods gained a great advantage, acquiring more benefits they didn't have in the first place.

Therefore, the three gods were not stupid, and naturally knew that they needed to compensate Lin Ke in order to trick him into the 'trap'.

Otherwise, do you think Lin Ke is a fool?
Therefore, after deliberation by the three gods, and at the suggestion of Universal Games, they finally offered three not-so-exaggerated, and even quite reasonable, perpetual compensation terms.

Thus, after Lin Ke chose to join.

The three gods did not feel they had suffered a great loss; on the contrary, they felt they had gained a great deal.

After all, in their view, the three perpetual compensation clauses could actually be negotiated further.

For example, 15,000 years, 20,000 years, or something like that.

But what about Lin Ke?

Did they accept it so hastily?
Thus, to the astonishment of the three gods.

The three gods' initial reaction to Lin Ke's smile was similar to that of a seasoned veteran at a company seeing a fresh-faced college graduate join the workforce.

But actually?
Lin Ke not only did not lose out, but also gained all the original permissions of the real game within ten thousand years, and even obtained another quarter of the permissions of the game after the fusion, which was qualitatively changed.

Heh~ it's hard to say who wins and who loses!
Lin Ke sighed inwardly, thinking how wonderful it was to have encountered three arrogant idiots with preconceived notions about 'games'.
