Origin Paradise!

The phrase "I think" silenced the elders present, and the air was thick with the smell of blood and the threat.

The Deputy Chief of Operations roused himself, scanned the attendees, and replied, "It is precisely because the Sword Fairy has become a powerful figure that she receives such attention."

Jiang He nodded. "Then find someone to replace her. Let me state in advance that I have a suitable candidate who can achieve the goal. The birth of the new power means that the Order Bureau has no intention of weakening its allies, and it also means that the fundamental conflict between me and the other eight orthodox families no longer exists. We can talk about the secondary issue of face later."

"The second question is, if this powerful nation is born into the Si family, the prerequisite is that the Si family needs to shield me from the Liu family's wrath. Is the Si family willing to do that?"

The Deputy Chief of Operations wished he could agree on behalf of the Si family to split the entire orthodox clan into a separate Liu family, which would reduce the pressure exponentially. In fact, faced with the wrath of all the ancient clans of the orthodox clan, the Bureau of Order would inevitably have to give in.

Si Nan's brows furrowed deeply.

If the Si family were to give rise to a powerful nation, it goes without saying who would become the leader in the future landscape. The difference between being a mere supporting player and becoming the leader is obvious to the naked eye.

However, since it concerns the enormous interests of the entire family and the overall strategy, even though he knew the established answer, he did not have the qualifications or confidence to make a decision unilaterally. If he nodded at this time, he would have to bear the responsibility in the future.

"willing."

Suddenly, an elder of the Si family said, "Even if the ancestor were to his face, he would never refuse. In this extraordinary era, if we don't compete and seize opportunities and just sit by and watch them slip away, we might as well just wait to die."

The deputy chief of operations hesitated to speak, and after sowing discord within the organization, Mo Ke employed another tactic: shifting the blame.

Si Nan suddenly looked up, stared intently at Mo Ke, and asked, "The problem is, how can you guarantee it?"

Jiang He scoffed: "I could design a whole set of martial arts tailored to a pig, and even a pig could learn it, let alone your sister."

This is the absolute truth. The advantage of a custom-made product is that it is absolutely suitable. Even if it is clumsy, there are modifications. There is no problem that it is difficult to master or to exert full power in profound traditional martial arts. Moreover, the speed of mastery is extremely fast.

However, this is on the premise that the target is achievable and that a considerable amount of time and effort is invested. The reason it seemed easy before was because divine thinking was involved throughout the process.

Half an hour later, the second round of negotiations ended.

The Liu family was persuaded to stop by the Si family.

The other seven companies only require superficial compensation.

During the first round of negotiations, the issue of the allocation of fortresses was revised twice: someone had to give up one fortress, and it was necessary to ensure that the fortress was controlled by seven parties.

The two sides signed a written agreement, and the deputy commander of operations rose and led everyone to take their leave, preparing to return to the Seventh Fortress. Si Nan stayed behind at the inner city villa to act as a liaison.

As for the three swords of the Sword Fairy, Jiang He did not return them. To be frank, they were an apology for the assassination attempt.

In the corridor outside the main hall, the garden was untended, yet a hundred flowers bloomed in competition. Si Ning leaned against a stone pillar, watching someone walk by with an unfriendly expression.

"You made the decision for me?"

Jiang He took a sip of his drink and said, "As a black glove, you'll eventually be discarded like a dog after the rabbit is killed. What's wrong with taking this opportunity to return to the family? I naturally have some other ideas, but my strength is far from sufficient at the moment, and it's not time to show them yet."

Si Ning's face turned ashen. "I'd rather die."

Jiang He stared intently at the woman in front of him for a long while, then suddenly sneered, "I can't give you the Undying White Dragon Sword, but I don't care about the two Supreme Swords."

Si Ning's gaze was cold and indifferent; she remained silent.

Jiang He also had no intention of backing down. The Eternal Regret Dragon Spear was his top priority for improving his strength. Offending the orthodox sects would allow him to enter the border, but since it involved fundamental interests, there was absolutely no possibility of compromise. Although there would be opportunities to strengthen the Dragon Spear in the future, one step ahead would mean another, and time waits for no one.

"One is an undead-level offensive sword technique—Cloud White Willow Sword, which focuses on speed. The other is an undead-level defensive sword technique, which is an upgraded version of Azure Lotus Sword and Shield. To support its effects and power, you need to deal with the props, equipment, auxiliary skills, and passive levels yourself. I am not familiar with you, so it will take more than half a month."

Jiang He had said all she needed to say; if it didn't work, then so be it.

Si Ning sighed. It was incredibly difficult to exploit the other party, but improving both offense and defense by several levels was indeed enough for her to cross that boundary and enter the ranks of the strong.

It is worth noting that the tailor-made martial arts technique is a level of martial arts foundation and accumulation that even legends cannot match. The opponent must have a certain special skill that surpasses the legendary level and reaches the god level.

"In return for your kindness," Si Ning said, "I'll assassinate the players causing trouble within the occupied area for you."

"Hand over the Scarlet Card."

"That's it."

"Just kidding, do as you please." Jiang He waved his hand, just like his drinking buddies, he and the other party were merely mutually beneficial allies.

……

late at night.

Jiang He is in seclusion inside the parliament hall.

Seclusion doesn't necessarily mean finding a secluded room; the implication is that no one should disturb you.

He currently has 450 Crimson Cards, and his Lucky Stones have already been used up, so the effect of activating them this time might not be as good as he hoped.

A series of crimson lights flashed as Jiang He repeatedly reached into the storage pouches of the dead players. Some were so cunning that they piled up sand, each grain of sand reducing the odds of winning, while others were exceptionally honest, their storage pouches containing important items.

Bang!

A bomb exploded in the palm of your hand.

Jiang He's face was covered in dust, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. If he had known this would happen, he should have crushed the player who hid the bomb to ashes back then.

"Anyone who dares to leave excrement here, don't blame me for bringing disaster upon my bloodline."

The card issuance process took a full half hour.

Six perfect items, twenty-eight excellent items, three rare items, and one unused scroll.

Using rare items as snacks, Jiang He rummaged through the trash heap, taking out a perfect ornament and six fine items to upgrade his cursed ring.

[Name: Cursed Blood Ring]

[Category: Jewelry]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect ①: Drip the target's blood to activate the curse, reducing overall defense by 45% and marking the live location]

[Effect 2: The ring contains a space the size of half a building, suitable for the survival and reproduction of blood flies]

[Note: Waste utilization]

With the remaining five perfect items and twenty-two excellent items, Jiang He reforged a set of five-dimensional rings, intending to further enhance Aya's combat power and prevent any external disturbances to Silver City during her seclusion.

As for the scroll, it was clearly the highest level of the Priest class, from the Mad Priest. This guy was a fighter and didn't seem to care much about pure priest skills.

[Name: Fleeting Brilliance]

[Category: Auxiliary]

[Quality: Supreme]

[Effect: Consumes 90% of stamina to apply the skill "Fleeting Brilliance" to a single target—instantly restores 90% of their health if they are in the same slot.]

[Note: This may severely impact combat effectiveness; use with caution.]

"Dawn, what are Aya and Lao Hei doing?"

"General Hei is playing cards with his guards, while Miss Si is learning how to make desserts from a gourmet in the kitchen."

Upon hearing that both of them were busy, Jiang He could only call over two guards to deliver the items. The Supreme Scroll belonged to Lao Hei, and the Five-Dimensional Ring was given to Aya. Without Lilith's help, the little guy couldn't use the scroll, and pure Origin items wouldn't work either. They would have to be transformed and processed by the Gluttonous Lord into something like a secret treasure.

Allocation complete.

Jiang He began compiling sword techniques, and Si Ning's life-size human model was constructed in his mental world. Every muscle, every hair, every movement detail and meridian pathway needed to be carefully deduced and then gradually integrated with the sword techniques.

[Announcement: Fellow Daoist has obtained the World Core. From this moment forward, the exact location will be announced live. Please bring the World Core to the designated location to ignite the coordinate fire—the very center of the Alliance: Silver City.]

[Announcement: The arrival period is 10 calendar days. Those who exceed this period will be executed by the Pillar of Eternity. The time limit will not be reset if looted by other factions. Upon arrival at the designated location, the Duel Wall will descend.]

Chapter 383 Tomorrow's News

January 26th, the sixth year of the Kaiyuan era.

Ten days have passed since the ownership of the world's core was decided.

The inner city alleys outside the Parliament building.

A burly man in a purple suit squatted on a trash can, reading a newspaper with his head down.

Tomorrow's News is a border faction within the Battlefield faction. It has always stayed away from conflicts, but it often recruits reporters among the player groups in the four Battlefields. Its influence has a long history, a wide audience, and a clean background, making it relatively objective, which is why it continues to grow and expand.

As the sole heir of a powerful force in the world of all beings, Quan Dian knows many secrets unknown to others, such as that all beings, the end, and twilight were originally the "present state".

The past "present realm" failed to reach the stage goal of the origin, thus encountering the "world line cutoff". However, because its own strength was actually quite good, it withstood the mass extinction of life and completely broke away from the cutoff. Therefore, it was authorized and finally established a branch battlefield, dominating a region in the boundless void.

However, other "realms" that cannot withstand the interruption of the world line do not have such a glorious fate. They can only wander around the "realm" of each generation day after day, becoming borderlands.

A portion of the border, after being severed, successfully recovered, fostering a thriving local environment that eventually coalesced into a powerful force.

Another part of the border, cut off and left half-dead, awaits the new generation of the present realm to start it up, and then pick up some broken pieces.

Another section of the border, once severed, became a forbidden zone where no living being could enter, harboring all sorts of dangerous and bizarre life forms that harbored a deep-seated hatred for the source of their destruction.

All borders, and perhaps even the present world in the future, are like pieces of flesh that have been peeled away from a fruit over generations, originating from the same diners and knives that peel the flesh. Unless the "flesh world" achieves its intended outcome, this curse will continue indefinitely.

As for when it will be finished, whether it will be finished, and what it will look like, no one can give an accurate answer.

Regarding the current recovery and development of the current territory, the major powers in the other three battlefields have basically maintained a cold and indifferent attitude, or even a spectator mentality. Everyone has their glorious moments, so don't take a moment for a lifetime. Whether it can become a branch in the future is another matter. If it becomes a border, then there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

Tomorrow's News is the first type of border.

A new overlord is born – this generation's future is truly promising!

As Quan Dian browsed tomorrow's newspaper, sure enough, that person's existence had garnered tremendous attention, directly making the headlines of the month with 640 trillion likes.

Thinking of this, Quan Dian aimed at the bottom right corner of the newspaper and tapped it twice, reaching the limit for likes on a single newspaper. The annual price of Tomorrow's Newspaper is not low, so it naturally has some minor functions. It has a deep cooperation with the Border Food Foundation, and the Tomorrow Coin jointly issued by the two parties is one of the hundreds of mainstream currencies.

The top of the fist is used to scroll horizontally across the title, allowing you to browse through several short videos taken by tomorrow's war correspondents.

In a battle of sniping among the great powers, two were killed and one was defeated.

The Battle of Upside Down resulted in the annihilation of an army of millions.

The siege of the Ninth Fortress was a fierce battle, with gunfire raging and destroying the city.

Having slain three powerful beings and three Gold-level beings, he truly deserves the title of the overlord-level life form of the Silver Age.

In all the side-view shots, the overlord's face was shrouded in a mysterious haze, clearly indicating that Tomorrow's News was only interested in generating traffic and had no interest in offending a potential rising star.

In the comments section, there are countless speculations about the identity and appearance of the overlord. Some experts in the field of charm pointed out that, judging from the hair quality and the beauty of the side of the neck, the other party's original charm is no less than nine points.

The later growth of the charm attribute focuses on affinity and temperament. The former has a certain influence on elements, while the latter is conducive to communication with living beings. In the common sense, beauty or ugliness mainly depends on the original charm.

After careful consideration, Quan Dian felt that as a witness, he was qualified to give a genuine evaluation. As for getting some likes, that was just a minor, incidental thing to do.

"Even among the elves, who are known for their outstanding appearance, this overlord's looks are a once-in-a-century phenomenon."

"That's an exaggeration, bro."

"Suspected of frequent flight departures, he is disoriented."

"Little black-hearted guy, are you trying to flatter me to death?"

Just as the Fist Peak players were getting bored and enjoying their match, the Faceless Man, the former vice-captain of the Glorious Adventurer Group, walked into the alley.

Sensing the approach of this peak-level expert, the Fist Peak expert put away his newspaper, his expression serious. "Fellow Daoist passing by hasn't shown himself yet? Today is the deadline, isn't it?"

The designated location for ignition was in front of the Silver Palace, and it had nothing to do with any one person. The Silver Palace was located in the very center of the Alliance's central fortress. In the realm of mysticism, most capital cities follow this design to fit the symbolism, such as the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty and Bianjing of the Great Xia Dynasty, or the royal capital on the banks of the Blue River.

For a master alchemist, making predictions in advance is a form of targeted action.

The faceless man shook his head. "There's no news yet, but I've already contacted the great power, Dogus. The Ant Guild has been completely wiped out, and he's short-handed right now. If we go there, we'll have real power, and we can even become elders in the future."

Quan Dian laughed freely: "Is there a future? According to the consistent attitude of the masses or the end, they will probably let the players besiege that overlord. If the mission fails, the ending will probably be death. You and I have both survived once. Life is not always accompanied by luck."

The faceless man hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Dougs has a Supreme-grade team mission reduction card. Unless you encounter an exclusive side quest with no way to escape, it can basically downgrade the penalty for the main quest. Dogs is the leader of a major guild and a powerful figure. He's quite capable, so he must have some good stuff."

Fist Peak asked suspiciously, "You must have received prior notice before joining Dougs, right?"

The faceless man said with slight anger, "You are my first choice. You are clearly the sole heir of a major power."

"Besides magnetic fields and muscles, my master and I have nothing else," Quan Dian said helplessly. He didn't even have a main weapon, let alone any cards; he had never even seen one in his life.

[Announcement: The World Core has been delivered to the designated location. The Coordinate Fire has been ignited.

[Announcement: The fire of coordinates was ignited at the Origin Battlefield. Extinguishing the fire and reigniting it is possible. The ignition point can be changed. It will burn for 10 natural days, and world ownership will be locked. (During the burning period, the fire cannot be moved; its range is limited to the area around the Silver Palace.)]
