Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 286 The World Trends, the Black Prison Clan on Alert

In the blink of an eye, six years of game time, or the Empire of Stars, have passed since the players were placed in the Shadowlands.

All the first batch of players have now completed their twenty-first 100-day evaluation.

It must be said that the game developers are quite generous in their investment in this world.

At least for the older generation of players, in their words, the million new players in Shadowworld have caught the fast train of the new era.

After all, these players were fortunate enough to catch the full upgrade of the actual game version.

With the full upgrade of the real game version, many veteran players now know the inside story of many of the changes made to the original game.

Especially during the six years that the Star Empire waged full-scale war.

The so-called comprehensive upgrade to the real game, in the words of veteran players, or even the god of players.

The real game encountered a game system from the same source.

The two games merged, which led to the formation of the so-called faction system.

The so-called faction system, simply put, is a new game mode established by the chief dragon god of the real game and three other powerful gods from the same source game.

A truly global game, or rather, a truly global game.

This is the official name of the current fully upgraded version of the game.

In the words of the player deities, in the current real-world game, the other three deities, including the Dragon God Chief, are also quite powerful.

Otherwise, the so-called faction system would not exist.

In short, all players of Stellaris need to know just one thing right now.

In the actual game, aside from us, led by the Dragon God, all everyone else only needs to know that three powerful friendly faction units have appeared.

As for the faction situation, that's something that ordinary players can't know or participate in.

Follow orders.

In conclusion, final victory will surely belong to the Star Empire and to the players of the Dragon God faction.

This is a comprehensive overview of the game version upgrade; for the average player, this is the limit of their understanding.

In short, the upgraded, real-world game offers significantly better rewards than the original game.

Just like now.

Under the twenty-first 100-day settlement.

The number of high-level players in the Shadow World has exceeded four thousand.

There are even more than a dozen players at the Saint rank.

This terrifying speed of advancement doesn't even take into account the level of protection that the actual game provides for new players in this world.

In short, these things alone are enough to make many veteran players envious.

Meanwhile, with the emergence of numerous high-level players, and the covert development of hundreds of thousands of mid-to-low-level players, the situation was also underway.

It's fair to say that the current ranch world belonging to the Black Prison Clan has already been secretly infiltrated by real game players, turning it into a sieve.

Currently, calculations have been performed.

In the current Shadow World, the millions of players who initially joined do not include the new players who kept joining after the failures along the way.

There are probably 670,000 veteran players left.

Of these 670,000 veteran players, less than 100,000 are still lingering at the low rank.

Of these, nearly 600,000 players have already entered the middle tier.

This is a huge force, plus the temporary military rank system in the real game.

One can imagine how many of the original inhabitants of the Shadowlands have become 'superhuman recruits' under the players' rank system.

In short, to sum it up in one sentence.

Just like the Kingdom of Andrews where player Yue Xin was born.

At present, the power developed by the players alone is enough to instantly overturn everything in this kingdom.

Of course, using the word "subversion" is not accurate either.

Because, for the indigenous people, the mission triggering mode of this real game is obviously very mild.

Therefore, at this moment, the Kingdom of Andrews.

Not to mention Princess Tracy, who had already been recruited as a member of the Extinction Alliance.

Even the kingdom's eldest prince, who is also the current king of the Kingdom of Andrews, 'Andrews XVII', has long been a member of the Star Empire's Annihilation Alliance.

Today, it is located throughout the entire Kingdom of Andrews.

The power of all players has already been integrated.

Full name: Star Empire, Shadow World, Andrews Kingdom Region, Seventeenth Legion of the Free Legion

The first temporary legion commander was none other than player Yue Xin, also known as 'Betron' in this world.

The legion has a total of over 6,000 players.

One of them is a Saint-level being.

There are sixteen high-ranking individuals, and no one in the middle or low ranks.

The sheer number of players—over six thousand—who formed their own local forces is terrifying.

Let's say that.

The entire kingdom of Andrews is neither large nor small.

The annual population is approximately four million.

But of these four million people, the players ultimately made their selections through meticulous research and screening.

They practically wiped out the entire population with the potential to become extraordinary.

It must be said that although all humans in this world are mortals, it is still a world under the influence of magic.

Therefore, under the influence of the magic of this world, there are quite a few ordinary people with extraordinary talents.

Within the Kingdom of Andrews.

The number of people who were able to successfully enter the extraordinary realm through the bloodline infusion ritual was over 300,000.

Thus, the real game relies on the powerful logistical support of the Star Empire.

The continuous supply of bloodline potions allowed these players to quickly build a massive legion of extraordinary individuals.

Such a large-scale army of superhumans.

It's definitely not possible to achieve this by relying solely on players and the concealment of native creatures.

Therefore, we must mention the significant effort the actual game has invested in this world after the complete version upgrade.

All those extraordinary individuals who became part of the player's temporary legion were undoubtedly protected by the real game.

In other words, the real game uses contracts to strictly monitor and restrict the behavior of all superhuman soldiers.

For example, one should not display extraordinary power in front of ordinary people.

For example, they must not reveal anything about the existence of the extraordinary or the players.

Even if someone says it unintentionally, these words will eventually turn into muttering grumbles.

In short, there is comprehensive regulation of real games.

Such things are naturally difficult for the high-ranking members of the Black Prison Clan who spend most of their time in the sky to discover.

Putting in so much effort into a real game naturally yields results.

That means that by now, the real game has subtly eroded the rules of the Shadow World by nearly 80%.

Under such circumstances, the Black Prison Clan deities who guard this world were completely unaware!

The Black Prison Clan's deities are no ordinary deities.

Strictly speaking, they are beings similar to the divine-level dragon race.

The fact that even such deities failed to notice a problem in the world they were guarding demonstrates just how powerful the power of the real game truly is.

Of course, it's undeniable that this is also why Lin Ke values ​​the game resources that this world has invested the most in.

However, the real game has been subtly eroding the rules of this world so much that it's almost reached its limit.

After all, nearly 80% of the Mana's will and rules of authority in this world have been stolen.

The Black Prison Clan deities who guard and protect this world have all shown ominous signs and have been awakening one after another from their slumber of cultivation.

They have not yet discovered the world rules that have been eroded by real games.

However, it immediately awakened a large number of high-ranking and saint-ranking Black Prison Clan members who had been wandering in the high heavens and cultivating in slumber for many years.

Even at this time, some Black Prison Clan deities dispatched their demigods to walk the mortal world in human form.

In short, during this period, almost all the high-ranking members of the Black Prison Clan took action.

The Kingdom of Andrews was relatively lucky.

Currently, there are only two Saint-level Black Prison Clan members present within its territory.

At this moment, in the capital of Andrews, in Hydeland.

In the capital's square, one of the two Saint-level Black Prison Clan members landed on a stone pillar.

One of them was suspended in the air beside the pillar.

At this moment, the two Saint-level Black Prison Clan members, who had transformed into human forms, had contrasting expressions: one was calm, while the other looked somewhat pleased.

They had absolutely no sense of crisis.

Upon their arrival, they immediately swept across the entire capital with their powerful spiritual energy.

"By the way, Galina, how many years ago was the last time we harvested this world?"

"Three hundred years? Or five hundred years?"

The Black Prison Clan member, who resembled a kind old human, stood on the stone pillar and smiled innocently.

Upon hearing this, the Black Prison, who was disguised as a human woman and named Galina, said without any emotion, "Time has no meaning for us."

"Zoltan, if I remember correctly, you were the one who helped them set up this farm after the last harvest, right?"

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded with his smile undiminished and said, "That's right."

"In order to allow the remaining human 'seeds' to multiply quickly, and to prevent those brainless brats from causing trouble, this little barrier I set up here looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

As the old man spoke, he proudly pointed to the barrier above the capital city, a barrier that could even block all low- to mid-level Black Prison Clan members from entering.

However, the old man's smugness only elicited a slight frown from Galina.

"Zoltan, why do you always like to make such strange and unusual things?"

"This is a breeding farm, not your own testing ground!"

"Don't forget, it was because you created some kind of spiritual spell in the area you were in charge of and then passed it on to humans that caused the large-scale chaos during the last harvest."

"What, Zoltan, do you really want to die?"

Galina's reprimanding words did not upset the old man; on the contrary, he smiled.

"To die?"

"Death is merely the beginning of new life. Moreover, even eternal death is simply our soul returning to the embrace of the great Lord."

"In addition, although the harvest was somewhat difficult last time due to the appearance of the Spirit Echoes spell, Galina, you should know that both the adults in the Astral Plane and the guardians of various regions were actually very satisfied with the harvest last time."

"If they're not satisfied, Galina, do you think I'd still be here right now?"

"After being nurtured by the Spirit Echo Technique, the humans in the breeding farm possess a wonderful taste of souls that I think even you, Galina, will never forget, right?"

Zoltan looked at Galina with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Galina's expression remained unchanged; she simply said, "What good is it if it tastes good?"

"Don't forget, the farms we're protecting exist precisely to breed new generations."

"If those humans last time hadn't been relatively delicious, and if the Astral Lords hadn't vouched for them, you and those who allowed the Spirit Echoes to spread would definitely not have survived."

"Zoltan, you must understand that this kind of thing can only happen once, not twice."

Upon hearing Galina's words, the old man immediately smiled and shrugged gently.

"I know, of course I know that."

"Look, apart from this little barrier, I didn't do anything this time either."

Clearly, the Black Prison elder named Zoltan did not take the previous incident to heart.

"I hope so!"

Galina glanced indifferently at the old man, then looked around the entire capital and said:

"We've checked this place for now, and we haven't found anything unusual."

"However, I don't trust you, you old man with a criminal record."

"Furthermore, Zoltan, you should also know that this matter is definitely not simple."

"If the danger could trigger the collective danger prediction of the seven adults in the Star Realm, then the danger is very likely to come from the Star Sea, unless there is a source of danger in the breeding world."

"But anyway, I hope that this time, you haven't been hiding anything from me."

"Otherwise, once it's confirmed that a major problem has occurred in your area, then it will be absolutely useless for anyone to plead on your behalf this time!"

Galina looked directly at Zoltan.

"Karina, you're being too sensitive."

"However, no matter what I say now, you certainly won't believe me."

"Since you want to see, I'll show you all the areas I'm in charge of."

The old man feigned helplessness, then looked at the dense crowds below the capital's square and slowly said:
"I really don't know what the seven lords of the Star Realm are thinking."

"Since we already knew there was danger, we could have harvested the farm in advance."

Upon hearing this, Galina glanced at Zoltan and let out a rare cold snort.

"Hmph, do you think the adults don't want to?"

"It's not that adults don't want to, it's that they can't!"

“A great being who controls the laws of foreknowledge has already foreseen it.”

"This crisis is because some fools have set their sights on the creatures in our farm."

"In short, all you need to know is that whether this crisis comes from inside the farm or from outside the astral plane, if we harvest the creatures from the farm in advance, then we will inevitably start a war with the source of the crisis immediately!"

At this point, under Zoltan's surprised gaze, Galina of the Black Prison Clan continued with a slightly solemn expression:
"Now, everything we do is just a performance arranged by the adults."

"After all, this time we are facing someone that even the seven adults can sense as dangerous."

"Therefore, the adults have already informed the military commander of the star field about the situation here. Now all we need to do is stall for time and wait for the army dispatched by the military commander to arrive."

"Alright, that's all I know."

“Let’s go, Zoltan, come with me to the next place in your care area.”

Having said that, Galina of the Black Prison Clan transformed into a stream of light and ascended into the sky.

As for the elder of the Black Prison Clan, after a brief moment of astonishment, he quickly transformed into a stream of light and left the place.

After the two Black Prison Clan members left, they were inside the royal palace in the capital of Andrews.

On a clock tower, four pairs of eyes took in everything that happened when the two members of the Black Prison Clan appeared in the square of the royal palace in the capital.

"It seems we won't be able to keep this a secret any longer."

"But it doesn't matter, because at the current pace, the Empire can actually launch a war of civilizations at any time."

"However, we should try to delay as long as possible. In this way, once the war begins, as many of the people in this world as possible can be saved."
