Battle for Supremacy Across Realms: From Novice Village to Lord of the Gods

As soon as the Heavenly Dao notification sound ended, the public channel of Novice Village No. 911 exploded.

[Heavenly Reminder: During the cross-village resource gambling period, the level and combat power rankings of the two newbie villages will be temporarily hidden and cannot be viewed.]

As soon as the news broke, the channel was flooded with cries of despair, filled with direct and urgent complaints, leaving no room for ambiguity.

"Holy crap! The rankings are completely locked; I can't even glance at them?"

"We really can't get in. Why is Heaven doing this for no reason? What are they up to?"

"Without the rankings, I have absolutely no confidence. Who can really figure out who's currently number one?"

"No need to guess, Heaven is deliberately manipulating us, specifically targeting our mindset to cause trouble."

"That's right. The less you understand the situation, the more panicked you become, and the easier it is to lose your composure."

"What's the panic! Our village has Liu Xuan backing us up. He's always been leading in levels. As long as he reaches level 5, we'll win this bet for sure."

"That makes sense, I wholeheartedly agree."

"Just stick close to Liu Xuan's coattails, and you're guaranteed to win the game if you follow him."

Emperor Qin lightly touched the screen with his fingertip, casually scanning the messages on the screen. A faint, cold smile appeared on his lips, and he remained silent throughout.

This group of people were so focused on praising Liu Xuan that they had no idea that he himself was the true number one in 911 Village.

He quietly accumulated experience, and his strength had already far surpassed that of others, but the others were kept in the dark and did not notice at all.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the cold, icy announcement from Heaven resounded throughout the entire newbie village once again. The red announcement popped up directly, completely drowning out all the casual chat messages.

[Heavenly Path Announcement: The chat channels for the two newbie villages have been successfully connected. Both sides can view each other's channel content, but there is no cross-channel speaking permission.]

【天道提醒：十分钟后开启跨村资源对赌，倒计时：10:00…9:59…9:58…】

The moment the announcement popped up, a gray entrance to the No. 137 Newbie Village channel immediately appeared in the lower right corner of Qin Dilin's screen, with a clear and eye-catching logo.

With a light tap of his finger, without the slightest hesitation, he switched channels and entered the public chat area of ​​Village 137.

As soon as I switched in, a dense barrage of messages started scrolling wildly, creating chaos and strife. The messages were filled with angry curses and complaints in foreign slang, making the level of chaos several levels higher than that of 9/11.

"Fuck! What's going on? Our Village 137 was perfectly fine, why did we suddenly gamble with Village 911 on resources? Who's so reckless as to make this decision on their own?"

"Didn't you see the Heavenly Dao's notification? It was initiated by a guy named Edward; there's no one else but him."

"Shit! Has Edward lost his mind? Such a big matter, and he didn't even consult anyone else, acting unilaterally to the extreme!"

"If we lose this bet, all the village's resources will be taken away, and we'll never be able to live a normal life again."

"I don't want to lose, I strongly object, this is completely against the rules!"

"What's the use of objecting? Heaven has already approved it, the rules are set, and no one can change them. Don't waste your energy."

"This is not democratic! It disregards human rights! Why shouldn't we have the right to vote? Why shouldn't we be allowed to choose freely?"

"Are you still living in a dream? The Way of Heaven is thousands of times stronger than the God you believe in. In its eyes, we are not even as good as ants."

This is a world of killing and survival, not the beacon of democracy you all keep talking about. Don't try to explain it with those outdated theories.

Looking at these incoherent statements, Emperor Qin suppressed a laugh, but instantly understood.

This No. 137 beginner village is full of players from the Blue Star Lighthouse Country, each with their own unique way of thinking.

They still haven't realized their dire situation and are clinging to outdated ideas about the old days; their foolishness is laughable.

In contrast, Village 911 is entirely populated by players from China. It's clear that the game developers deliberately divided the newbie villages by nationality, saving players a lot of trouble with cross-regional communication.

The insults in the channel didn't stop, and everyone's anger was fixed on Edward.

"It's all that damn Edward's fault. He completely ruined the whole thing."

"I just switched to the 911 Village channel and it's full of Chinese people, not a single one."

"Dragon Country? That Eastern country? I've heard they're all small and thin, and used to be called the 'Sick Man.' We're sure to win against them, so there's no need to panic."

"Don't be too confident. People from China may look thin, but they are exceptionally clever and their IQ has always been high. They should not be underestimated."

"IQ is useless! This is a killing world where fists do the talking. If you're not strong enough, no matter how smart you are, you can't beat a ferocious beast, let alone level up."

As everyone continued arguing, a message with an arrogant tone suddenly popped up at the top, and the noisy channel fell silent for half a second. Edward, the person in question, finally appeared.

Edward: "Gentlemen and ladies, please do not panic. I am the noble Baron Edward."

"Damn it, Edward, you've finally shown yourself! After hiding for so long, you finally dare to face everyone?"

"Baron? What's that? We've never heard of titles in our newbie village before."

Edward: "Ha ha, ignorant mortals, let me tell you the truth: I am not an ordinary human, but a vampire of noble blood."

These words caused the channel, which had been quiet for half a second, to explode. Messages scrolled so fast that the text was illegible, and the screen was filled with amazement and praise.

"My God! They're vampires! The legendary beings are actually real!"

"Vampires are born with immense strength and incredibly long lifespans, far surpassing ordinary people. This world of slaughter is practically tailor-made for them."

"Is the Baron rank the weakest rank among vampires?"

"Even the weakest vampire is a hundred times stronger than us ordinary people. Baron, you can definitely level up to level 5 quickly and lead us to win the bet with ease."

"No wonder he specifically targeted the beginner villages in the Dragon Kingdom. Those people look weak and frail, their basic attributes must be terrible, they can't possibly compete with the Baron."

"It's a sure win, we're going to win this round in Village 137. We're just waiting to get the extra resources."

Edward: "Remember, don't use such a vulgar term as 'vampire,' but rather the respectful term 'bloodline,' as it is a symbol of identity."

In this bet, victory is destined to belong to our Village 137.

"Your Excellency, if I may be so bold as to ask, what rank have you reached now?"

Edward: "I am already level 4, and I am only a little experience away from level 5. Reaching the top is only a matter of time."

"My God! The Baron is already level 4? I'm only level 1 after fighting tooth and nail, and I don't even dare to touch any ferocious beasts. He's too strong!"

"The Baron is simply a god descended from heaven. I've become a fan instantly. He's amazing."

"I admire you; you are the hope of our entire village."

The players from the United States, who were just moments before hurling insults, instantly switched sides, filling the screen with praise. However, one message popped up at an inopportune moment.

"I object! I absolutely do not support you; this violates democratic principles!"

Edward: "Oh? Sir, tell me your reasons for objecting."

"I want to win the bet, I want extra attributes and resources, but I'm going to oppose you. That's my freedom, and nobody can interfere."
