The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

"Abyss Invasion? Isn't this event supposed to start in the second half of the year? Why has it started early?!"

The invasion of the Abyss sounds terrifying.

But actually, just like dungeons, world bosses, and monster riots, it's one of the gameplay elements.

However, after games are integrated with reality, some gameplay elements can indeed be described as terrifying.

When talking about the Abyss Invasion, one cannot help but mention the Battle of the Ten Races.

The Ten Races Battleground is held every four years, and the "ten races" participating are ten different races, including humans from Earth.

In the game "Cleric", players actually have to choose one of ten races when creating a character, and then awaken their class.

Different racial talents, when combined with different class talents, will create a wider range of effects.

However, once integrated with reality, humans are naturally the human race, and have no choice in the matter.

Where did the other nine races go?

They didn't disappear; they appeared in the Ten Clans Battlefield gameplay.

The Ten Races Battlefield features many different battles, with representatives from each of the ten races participating. Victories earn points, which are then used to rank the participants.

There are many restrictions on participating representatives, so it is not possible to send the strongest member of each race to participate in every battle.

The campaign format is not limited to a single battlefield space; sometimes it also takes place in the real world.

For example, an alien raid could occur if the other nine races appear in the territory of Glory City through some spatial gaps, attacking professionals or damaging the city's defenses.

Of course, even if alien races appear in the real world, they will only operate within the territory of Glory City; they cannot go to other places.

There are rewards for winning battles, earning points, and ranking settlements.

The rewards do not go to individual players, but to the Federation.

As punishment, the three races that finish at the bottom in each cycle will have their worlds subjected to attacks from the Abyss.

The rules here are worth pondering.

The world we live in?

So, are the other nine races just NPCs in the game world, or are there really nine such races that, like humans, have also experienced the fusion of the game and reality, and the universal job change?

In the past, it was generally believed that they should just be NPCs in the game world, but now the entire race has become NPCs.

Now that the Bureau of Paranormal Research has announced the existence of Dark Star, humanity no longer has any doubts about the existence of extraterrestrial life.

More and more people believe that there may be nine other intelligent races that have experienced the same history as humans on Earth, and that their world has also merged with the game!

Because they couldn't understand each other's languages ​​and writing systems, humans couldn't communicate with them when they met on the battlefield.

Even if they can communicate, highly intelligent NPCs believe they are a world in themselves, and humans cannot tell whether they are NPCs or not.

"This is not right. The Abyss invasion should not have come prematurely. Something must have gone wrong."

Whatever the problem is, Song Gua cannot hesitate any longer.

There are hundreds of his clones in Glory City.

The invasion of the abyss means that countless, overwhelming, and endless abyssal creatures will attack the main city and guard cities of each district.

Song Gua was able to retrieve his clone.

It wasn't to escape, but to send them into the city to fight the abyssal creatures.

We can't just leave it in the wild and let it be overwhelmed by abyssal creatures.

You should know that killing abyssal creatures earns you prestige!

Normally, grinding reputation is so troublesome, with time and quantity limits. When the Abyss Invasion comes, are the creatures coming from the Abyss?

That's all reputation!

As long as you have the ability, you can spend as much as you want!

"Brothers, there's no time to rest! Except for the squads guarding the Shi family officials and the sentinels used for teleportation around the world, everyone else, come with me to Glory City to resist the Abyss's invasion!"

……

几分钟前。

Glory City, the main city.

The stars twinkled, and the full moon cast its silvery glow.

On the main city wall, Tong Zhan, Long Tan, Gou Bi, Zhu Xin, Li Zixue, Tuoba Xiao, and a hundred other trainees from the capital were all leaning on the wall, admiring the lonely city's night view and discussing their future lives.

The Song hexagram is also here.

It's just a clone.

These one hundred people have been in Glory City for a month.

There's no point in staying any longer; I won't gain any reputation from any activities.

So, they plan to go back together tomorrow.

Tong Zhan opened his arms and embraced the night sky.

"Ah! What a beautiful night view! In the city, there's light pollution everywhere, so you can't see such a beautiful scene!"

Longtan laughed.

"You uncouth fellow, you actually know how to appreciate the night view?"

Tong Zhan glared at him.

"Do you want me to ban you from the group chat again?"

Longtan made a zipping motion near his mouth.

Gou Bi was looking at her phone, occasionally letting out a laugh.

Tong Zhan walked to his side.

"What are you laughing at? We all agreed to get together on our last night together, to look at the stars and the moon. Why are you staring at your phone the whole time?"

"I'm watching the live stream."

"What live stream is this? It's so interesting!"

"My brother's concert."

"Damn! You're a fan of a sissy! No wonder I felt you were somewhat... "

"Take another look."

"Wait a minute, what kind of concert is this? Why are they beheading people?!"

Everyone became interested and gathered around.

Just then, I saw Mirror Ghost Brother go on a killing spree, slashing one after another.

"Good heavens, these people practicing the 'Sitting in Oblivion' method have gone too far!"

"They really do whatever they want! It feels kind of fun..."

"Huh? This live stream has been going on for quite a while, how come it hasn't been stopped?"

"You know what, it's quite intriguing..."

"They killed high-ranking officials of the Shi family. The Shi family's influence in the officialdom of Xichuan City is too great. I'm afraid that Zuowangdao is not the only one who wants to get rid of this tumor."

As expected of a powerful force from the capital, these young people, though young, possess a very high level of vision and strategic thinking.

Upon hearing their words, Song Gua immediately realized that their plan was likely being pushed forward by some unseen forces.

Tong Zhan got bored after watching for a few minutes, walked over to Song Gua, and sat down on the city wall like him.

"Aren't you going to go take a look?"

"I know it's the Zuowangdao sect's tricks even without watching. They just keep using the same few tricks over and over again. It's not very interesting."

"Indeed, just like our trip to Glory City, apart from serving the family like slaves for a month, there was nothing interesting about it."

"I noticed you were really into fighting them for the Star Beasts."

"Tsk, it's alright, but I feel it's still not exciting enough, lacking a bit of pressure..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A global announcement was made.

The entire city of Glory froze at that moment.

Everyone stared blankly at the notification that popped up in front of them, incredulous.

The city gates were wide open, the city defenses were closed, and the city defense personnel were scattered in various places...

Completely unprepared!

The Abyss invasion is here?

Song Gua looked at Tong Zhan, whose lips were twitching.

"Is that enough of an oppressive feeling?"

Tong Zhan pointed ahead, his lips trembling slightly.

"Stop joking! Look, it doesn't seem fake. That's spatial turbulence that teleports abyssal creatures, right? Is it for real?!"
