Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

The words of Lord Suiyang.

It is worth pondering deeply.

As a veteran who has experienced dozens of years, Xiao Yu is all too aware of the complex relationship between the chosen ones and the ancient people.

There is collaborative utilization.

There is also the fear of disagreement.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Will the Chosen Ones, as an external force, shake up the old world's ruling class or vested interest groups?

Throughout history, countless petty people have trampled on righteousness and disregarded the common people for their own selfish interests.

Second.

Those destined for greatness are difficult to kill by ordinary means, but they can improve themselves through killing and use the Ark Imprint to refine various living beings to generate resources.

It makes people envious.

This will only arouse more fear.

Will those destined for greatness indiscriminately kill innocent people and disregard the law, becoming a new source of disaster?

These are all real-world problems.

The mission of the Chosen Ones to purify nightmares and cut off deep-sea pollution should, in theory, be a great thing for the people and all living beings of the past.

But will this really win the full support and endorsement of our ancestors?

If you think that way.

This underestimates the diversity of human species!

The deeper the ancient world is in the deep sea, the more deep-sea energy it can absorb, which will increase both its cultivation limit and its spatial volume.

Take the old world as an example.

Since it sank into the deep sea 100 years ago, its total area has increased tenfold, and it will continue to grow over time.

Once the pollution is stopped...

The deep-sea threat has indeed been eliminated.

The world itself will also lose the ability to continue to grow, and there will always be a small group of extremely conservative and stubborn people who are dissatisfied with this.

of course.

anyway.

The old city was not large in scale or population, and survival was quite difficult, so the problems mentioned above were not too prominent.

The reason why Lord Suiyang said these words to Xiao Yu was to warn the chosen one to be wary of the "Deep Sea Believers".

Xiao Yu knew everything, of course.

But he pretended to be surprised.

"Why do you say that?"

Sima Geng explained in a deep voice, "Although the power of the Heavenly Order suppressed the Demon Lord Wu Zixu in the deep sea nightmare, the influence of the deep sea is still everywhere, and many of us have been corrupted."

"These people look no different from ordinary people, but in reality their souls have long been corrupted. They do not follow the way of heaven, but are believers in the deep sea, and are also the henchmen of Wu Zixu."

"They are extremely well-hidden and pose a tremendous threat!"

"Be careful at all times, as those who may interfere with, disrupt, or hinder your destiny."

"If you discover any believers, be sure to report it immediately. As long as there is sufficient evidence, once verified, we will give a generous reward."

"..."

【Ding! 】

[Side quest triggered!]

[Mission Name: Annihilate the Deep Sea Believers!]

Lord Suiyang has a high level of authority to issue tasks, and this is a long-term task that every player can participate in.

Xiao Yu nodded: "I see. Thank you for the reminder, Lord Suiyang. I will definitely pay more attention."

Want to harm him?

With the all-knowing eye.

It won't be that easy to succeed.

However, this task is not simple.

The Deep Sea Believers are not ordinary spies or traitors; they are more like dormant viruses lurking within the system.

Before it was exposed.

It is almost impossible to verify by any means.

They might even hypnotize themselves to forget their identity as believers, maintaining this facade for decades to ensure a perfect disguise that is automatically activated at crucial moments.

It is taboo to accuse believers without concrete evidence, and the Deep Sea believers are mostly powerful figures, many of whom are influential, so they are themselves very dangerous.

Let's play it safe and develop our resources first.

The spirit of Sun Tzu, the master strategist, should not be revealed too quickly.

That's about all I have to say.

"While you chosen ones bear the duty of saving the world, I also bear the responsibility of protecting the territory and ensuring the safety of the people. I hope you will collect and study this Suiyang Code carefully."

Sima Geng gave him a scroll of letters.

It records some basic local laws, especially those concerning the Chosen Ones, to prevent them from indiscriminately killing innocent people or committing crimes.

Everything that needed to be said has been said.

Sima Geng: "In the future, if you encounter any confusion or need help, you can come here to ask us for assistance. As long as the rules of Heaven allow it, we will do our best to help you."

"I do have a request!"

Xiao Yu got straight to the point: "I heard that as long as you reach level 4, you can apply for a teleportation order to the 'Ruins of Yingdu'."

"You'd like to take on the challenge of visiting the ruins of Yingdu?"

"good!"

Sima Geng frowned and said, "You are too eager for quick success. The Nightmare Land is extremely dangerous, and we need to make more thorough preparations."

"Please rest assured, Lord Suiyang! I have confidence!"

Sima Geng sighed softly.

Ultimately, my experience was too limited.

He's too young and impetuous!

They had no idea how terrifying the nightmare of the deep sea was!

They underestimated the resentment of the Demon King Wu Zixu!

However, he did not refuse and took out the teleportation token for the corresponding region.

Thirty Soul Stones are required.

Equivalent to the cost of a copy ticket.

Xiao Yu paid promptly without any hesitation.

Sima Geng instructed, "This order can create random temporary buoys near the entrance to the 'Yingdu Ruins,' allowing a maximum of eight people to be teleported at a time. I suggest you choose your partners carefully."

"Thank you, Lord Suiyang!"

Xiao Yu then took his leave.

He did not try to inquire about Fan Li.

Now is not the time to make contact with them; forcibly creating an opportunity to meet would be inappropriate.

top priority.

It is to connect the "Yingdu Ruins".

Once the "Ruins of Yingdu" is cleared first, Fan Li will summon him, and then it won't be too late to launch a series of plans.

We left the city lord's mansion.

I strolled around the area near the Heavenly Dao Altar.

There are many facilities and shops nearby that cater to the chosen ones, such as the Shrine of Heroes, the Refining Hall, the Alchemy Workshop, the Equipment Shop, and the Pharmacy.

Xiao Yu didn't even think about it.

Walk directly into the Martyrs' Shrine.

The place is filled with incense and candles, ancestral tablets, and a solemn atmosphere, somewhat resembling the ancestral halls or imperial temples of large families in TV dramas.

The Martyrs' Shrine primarily enshrines a portion of the local unnamed heroes.

Almost all of them are gray.

The number of white-tier Heroic Spirits is extremely small.

Gray-tier Heroic Spirits can be directly exchanged using Soul Stones, while white-tier Heroic Spirits can be obtained through related quests.

The Martyrs' Shrine also has an important function.

Here you'll find formations and equipment for nurturing heroic spirits, as well as spirit refiners who are ancient ancestors. Players can nurture heroic spirits here.

There are very few players currently seeking to refine spirits, so this place is rather deserted, with only a kind-looking old man present.

When I saw him.

Xiao Yu's lips curled up slightly.

[Spirit Refiner: Hua Geng], Level 6 Ordinary Unit... Brief Introduction: A member of the Hua clan of the Song family, one of the four major clans of Suiyang, currently serving as a Spirit Refiner in Suiyang City, and ordered by Sima Geng to serve the Chosen One.

There is hidden information.

Under normal circumstances, the All-Seeing Eye can only perceive basic information. To see more specific information, such as attributes, talents, abilities, or hidden information, one needs to consume mental energy.

The greater the gap in strength.

The more energy required, the better.

[Mental Strength -1!]

[Mental Strength -1!]

After consuming approximately 6 points of mental energy, more detailed information appeared before my eyes.

【Evil Eye Cult Follower: Hua Geng】, Level 6 Rare Elite... Brief Introduction: This is a deeply hidden and powerful deep-sea follower.

Lord Suiyang had just reminded this special group, who would have thought that they would encounter a believer so soon?

This guy even became a permanent spirit refiner in the Shrine of Heroes, which is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger lurking inside the Heavenly Dao Temple!

Once the Nightmare Tide erupts.

He could very well take advantage of the chaos to destroy the main altar, posing a deadly threat to all the Chosen Ones!

Xiao Yu knew.

Suiyang has four major ethnic groups.

These are also four very crucial forces.

They came from the four historical kingdoms of Song, Chu, Wu, and Yue, and were therefore known as the Four Clans of Suiyang. They controlled the entrances to some secret realms.

Players want to challenge these ancient secret realms.

You need to build a good relationship with them or even seek their assistance.

Wang Yang's spirit of Helü is controlled by the Wu clan, one of the four major powers, and he must have already established a relationship with the Wu clan.

Apart from Helu.

The four clans also control many top-tier ancient secret realms, among which the sleeping heroic spirits are even comparable to Helü.

For example, Xi Shi.

She is considered the foremost of the Four Beauties of ancient China.

Like Helü, she is of purple quality, and in terms of potential and ability, her rarity far surpasses that of Helü, and she is no less than some red-quality Servants.

Regrettably.

Such a rare heroic spirit.

In his previous life, he had not shone at all.

It was destroyed by the lurking believers in the deep sea as soon as it was born.

Xiao Yu is reborn and returns.

Naturally, we must strive to make up for this regret.

If recruiting Fan Li is a long-term goal, then acquiring Xi Shi's spirit will be a medium- to short-term goal.
