All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 208 The Sixth-Tier Match That Couldn't Be Started!

"You're something else! You took the top spot in the East District without saying a word, leaving us waiting outside for a whole month without being able to unlock the 'Star Lord Dungeon'!"

Zhou Wudao grabbed Chu Xiu by the collar and glared at him.

Beside them, the overlords of the other three major regions, along with Shen Dufu and the newly promoted eighth-level expert from the West Region, all five of them were watching, sweating profusely.

Nowadays, the only person who would dare to grab Chu Xiu by the collar and speak like that is Zhou Wudao.

It's not that he's so great, but that he has a wonderful daughter.

Before Chu Xiu even rose to prominence, he had the foresight to recognize his talent and decisively bet on him. Now Chu Xiu's strength has increased, and he has become the number one person on Blue Star, but his father-in-law is still his father-in-law.

"Um, cough cough, can't the other three zones also have dungeons?" Chu Xiu asked.

He expressed his apologies for taking over his father-in-law's dominant position, saying it was intentional.

I just wanted to teach Old Deng a lesson.

Just kidding.

Unexpectedly, even though he was only ranked tenth, after teaming up with Zhou Wushang to become the dungeon boss, Zhou Wudao was unable to take it back.

Every time you enter, you are greeted by an "unparalleled beauty".

Pure numerical superiority.

It perfectly countered Zhou Wudao's talent, leaving him completely helpless!

"What kind of Star Lord instance are they talking about!" Zhou Wudao said. "Only the overlord who opens the instance can become a Star Lord. If we let them open it, it's fine if they can't conquer it, but if they do, wouldn't I be working for nothing?"

Although the Star Lord dungeon can be entered in teams of up to six people, allowing one Overlord to open it and a group of people to fight it.

But there can only be one Star Lord position.

The original plan was for Zhou Wudao to be the team leader, along with the overlord of the third district, Shen Dufu, and the newly promoted eighth-rank in the west district. The six of them would join forces to fight the Star Lord boss and see if they could win.

There's no loss if he fails, but if he succeeds, Zhou Wudao will get the "first-clear reward".

Then, relying on the rewards he received, he would strengthen himself and protect the entire Blue Star when monsters attacked the city. This was his agreement with the overlords of the other three regions.

However, this agreement has one premise: that the others are merely assistants.

People who are unlikely to receive a reward will not even hope for one.

There's nothing wrong with helping someone out.

But it would be impossible to let Zhou Wudao, whose strength is in a class of its own, work as an assistant to help others obtain the position of Star Lord!

Asylum or anything like that is out of the question.

Whether they can defeat Zhou Wudao after receiving the reward is still uncertain.

"Another thing is, when fighting the Star Lord boss, the system will have an output statistic. If it's lower than the average of the five people, you can't become the overlord, and it's all for nothing!" Zhou Wudao added, "With those three, it's questionable whether they can even deal half the damage I take!"

That's a bit insulting.

However, the overlord of the third district did not speak upon hearing this.

Zhou Wudao's "Wudao Zhiren" is too abnormal. After ignoring the mechanism, it basically ignores defense and can break through all kinds of shields and the effect of being immune to all magic.

You might end up dealing most of the damage yourself.

The combined number of the three district overlords might not even equal the number of people he has alone!
“However, now that you’ve reached number one in the entire server, it’ll be easy!” Zhou Wudao said. “Just open the Star Lord dungeon. With the buff that allows you to take no damage, plus me and the overlord of the third server, the chances of winning should be pretty good, and your damage share will definitely be enough!”

Upon hearing this, the three district overlords all looked at him with expressions of pity.

"Wait, what do you three mean? Want to get beaten up?"

"It's meaningless!" Orion said somewhat reluctantly, "You've never been a hegemon, so you don't know that the Star Lord dungeon has a minimum level requirement; you need to be at level eight to unlock it!" Zhou Wudao: "???"

He really didn't know there was this restriction!
"So, can we give up the position of hegemon?" Chu Xiu asked.

He can't even get into the Star Lord instance right now, so occupying the overlord position is useless. It would be better to let Zhou Wudao be the overlord and then lead the team to see what the boss in the Star Lord instance is.

As a team member, there are no rank requirements.

He can still go in.

“No!” Zhou Wudao shook his head and said, “Whether it’s a city lord, a prefecture lord, a hegemon, or a star lord, none of them can abdicate. They can only be taken by someone stronger. At most, you can only choose not to take it back.”

This makes things difficult.

The overlords of the three districts can't get the position of Star Lord, so it's not worth it for them to get it. Chu Xiu can't get into the East District, and Zhou Wudao can't get back the overlord position, so he can't go there either.

"But a first kill reward isn't absolutely necessary, is it?" Zhou Wushang said. "We can take it after Chu Xiu and I level up!"

This blatant siding with outsiders pained Zhou Wudao even more.

However, when he realized that Chu Xiu's combat power had surpassed his own, he suddenly understood—the Star Lord's reward was to make the strong even stronger, and he was no longer the strongest, so what was the point of the reward?

It would be better to wait for Chu Xiu to be promoted.

However, the thought of advancing his rank gave him trouble again.

"The tide of time is rising soon, and the monster siege is imminent. You may not have enough time!" Zhou Wudao said. "With your combat strength, clearing the dungeon is easy, but how to find teammates after Tier 6 is a big problem!"

The most practical problem is that there are very few players of the sixth and seventh tiers on Blue Star, and it's impossible to gather 108 of them!
It was originally enough.

However, Zhou Wudao forcibly gathered people, using up the last chance of many seventh-tier players. Currently, there may be more than 108 seventh-tier players on Blue Star, but the number of those who can enter the dungeon is likely to be less than 100!
The same applies to the sixth order.

There aren't many people left at the very top of the pyramid!

"In fact, most of the sixth-tier players have been integrated with our resources and forcibly promoted to the seventh tier. Their numbers may not necessarily be more than those of the seventh tier, otherwise Qin Tianze, who was previously ranked first on both leaderboards, wouldn't have been stuck at the sixth tier!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu was taken aback.

"If we don't have enough players, won't we never be able to start a game?"

"No, there's another way, which is to smuggle in and match with players from other servers!" Zhou Wudao said, "But that's even harder! First, you need a smuggling privilege card, which is given as a top-ranking reward, and you have it. Second, you need coordinates, and the opposing team needs to have enough players of the corresponding rank to start a match as quickly as possible!"

That's difficult.

In order to foster the emergence of a dominant power, other planets will also try to start matches and will not keep a large number of players on the planet.

"Finally, and most importantly, before we can sneak into other servers, we need to negotiate with all the overlords or star lords there. Only if they don't stop us can we go!" Zhou Wudao added.

At this point, things became extremely difficult.

He needs to be able to communicate across servers and find someone!

"So, the problem comes full circle!" Zhou Wudao said, "Only Star Lords and Ninth-Order Overlords have the ability to create 'communicators' for cross-server communication!"

Chu Xiu was speechless upon hearing this.

No wonder Zhou Wudao, and the other three district overlords, all mentored the younger generation.

We can't not help them.

Without a sufficient player base, no matter how strong they are, they won't be able to complete dungeons, so how can they advance?

"Wait, would a ninth-tier overlord have a communicator?" Chu Xiu suddenly thought of the overlord's palace he had encountered in the River of Time and said, "If we take down the overlord's palace of a ninth-tier overlord who died from the tide of time, could we get a 'communicator' from it?"
