Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 890 Dual World Announcement: A New S-Rank Mission Triggered!
Isabel Gospel in her luminous form reappears.

She looked around and then bowed respectfully: "My lord, good night."

Cao Xing handed over the holy book: "Gospel, you heard the conversation just now too."

"This sacred book contains powerful light, which perfectly matches your power."

"Now, let's proceed with the binding."

Isabel accepted the holy book with both hands, her eyes shining with piety: "Yes, my lord!"

"Thank you for your grace, the Holy Light will forever protect you and your land..."

After saying this, she solemnly held the sacred text to her chest.

The next moment, bursts of golden holy light surged from the holy book, causing her long golden hair to move without wind, undulating like waves in the holy light.

These holy lights transformed into countless runes of light, swirling and dancing around Isabel.

As these runes of light gradually merged into her body, it officially declared that she had become one with the power of the [Scripture of Light].

Isabel's aura surged dramatically!

She radiated a pure, divine light, making even the surrounding air feel fresher.

Immediately afterwards, a system prompt appeared.

[Ding! Your territory member Isabel Gospel has successfully bound to the [Grimoire of Light (Semi-Artifact)]!]
The title "Star Picker" has been upgraded, and luck has increased by 50 (actually +30, already at the 200 cap).
[Ding! As the first survivor in the entire server to reach the maximum Luck value, a special hidden quest has been activated: The Blessing of the God of Luck (S-rank)]
...

...

Upon seeing the last notification, Cao Xing was briefly stunned.

"Huh? My luck stat is full, and I've even triggered a hidden S-rank quest?"

When he opened the system interface and checked the task prompts, a task message immediately appeared in front of him.

[Quest: The Blessing of Lady Luck]

[Mission Difficulty: S Level]

Triggering conditions

1: The first survivor lord in the entire server to reach the maximum luck value of 200.

2: Possess at least one semi-divine artifact or five or more legendary equipment.

3: The lord's level must be 100 or above.

[Mission Objective.]

Phase 1: Lucky Roulette

Find the 'Lucky Altar' at coordinates '4177, 12523, 21522' and offer sacrifices to activate the Lucky Wheel.

After passing the lucky roulette test, you will complete this stage of the task and receive a reward.

[Rewards: Lucky Altar Construction Blueprint (Legendary), Divine Power Shards *100]

...

...

Phase Two: The War of Slaying Calamity
Head to coordinates '4822, 19245, 32116' and defeat 'The Beast of Doom - Mordis (Demigod-level)'.

[Rewards: God of Fortune's Dice (Unknown), Divine Power Shards *100]

...

[Third Stage: Chapter of Divine Favor (Hidden)]
Trigger condition: The final blow to defeat 'Mordis, the Beast of Doom' is a critical hit.

[Reward: Unknown]

[Do you accept this task?]

...

After reading the series of mission descriptions, Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

"This S-rank mission is quite interesting."

Compared to the S-rank mission he triggered before, "Uprooted", this "Blessed by the God of Luck" is much simpler and more detailed.

It not only specifies the content of the task, but also clearly defines the task objectives and location.

Simply follow the system instructions step by step to complete the process.

Of course, this is on the premise that you have enough ability.

"The first stage reward is an altar blueprint and 100 divine power fragments, although I don't know what the purpose of this [Lucky Altar] is."

"But the legendary quality alone makes this blueprint extraordinary."

"The second stage requires defeating a demigod-level monster, and the reward is a die of unknown purpose..."

"Furthermore, there's even a hidden third stage..."

Overall, this task is worth doing.

After all, putting aside other rewards, the 200 [Divine Power Fragments] alone are enough to make Cao Xing's trip.

So he clicked "Accept".

[You have successfully accepted the quest: 【The Blessing of Fortune (S-Rank)】]
[Current task progress: 0/3]
...

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xing opened the system's built-in mini-map function and entered the coordinates for the first stage.

In an instant, the map switched to an area shrouded in mist, with the entire scene displaying an eerie gray-blue hue.

However, through the gaps in the mist, one could vaguely discern that this place seemed to be outside the border of the continent.

The white background at the edge of the map reveals a vast, frozen sea.

In other words, this coordinate points to the perpetually frozen sea, which is known as the 'forbidden zone for living beings'!

After determining the coordinates, Cao Xing frowned: "I didn't expect... the first stage of this lucky mission is to go to the [Eternal Frozen Sea]."

"Furthermore, according to the coordinates, the location of the second phase mission objective, the Calamity Beast, also seems to be near the [Eternal Frozen Sea]..."

Cao Xing remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.

Speaking of which, he now has quite a few clues and missions, all of which are related to the Eternal Frozen Sea.

The first item is the [Mysterious Sea Chart] that Brûl brought back from his dream, which is said to be related to the 'treasure of the God of Wealth'.

The second one concerns the ancient dragon, Droma, whose lair is the Frozen Sea, and is also related to the next expansion.

The third is the Silver Sea Kingdom that Binglan once mentioned. This kingdom contains clues about a legendary weapon: the Dance of Fine Snow.

There's also the [block-shaped ambergris] he recently acquired, which is said to be able to catch giant deep-sea creatures when made into bait.

Now there's another quest called "Blessed by Lady Luck".

Cao Xing rubbed his temples: "It seems that after this Dream Fragment event ends, I'll need to explore that frozen sea area properly."

He slowly let out a sigh of relief and then closed the task interface.

At the same time, as Isabel's aura completely merged with the [Scripture of Light].

The second prompt appears again.

[Attention, survivor Cao Xing!]

[You are the first lord in the entire server to bind a semi-divine artifact, and have received the special title: Son of Gold. Do you wish to make a server-wide announcement?]

...

Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise: "Oh? There's even a server-wide announcement about this?"

After a moment's thought, he clicked "Confirm".

However, at the same time he successfully bound the semi-divine artifact.

In the far-off center of the western continent, a dramatic change occurred in an area shrouded in dark purple mist for thousands of kilometers.

All the fog began to recede rapidly towards the center point.

"Crash..."

Like the receding tide, the fog dissipated, revealing the true face of the human empire.

Ancient towns and fortresses appeared on the snow-covered land.

Countless sleeping humans lie in those towns, villages, and castles.

Whether they were ragged commoners, richly dressed nobles, or even fully armed soldiers, they all fell into a strange state of slumber.

They remained in their final poses, some even in the postures of eating or fighting, as if time had frozen over them.

When the fog completely dissipated, it was as if some terrifying will had left the area.

A faint sigh echoed in the sky, followed by a slight tremor throughout the entire western continent.

[Server-wide Announcement: Attention all survivors!]

[Lord Cao Xing from Region 1 has successfully bound the first 'semi-divine artifact' in the entire server, and has received the title reward: Son of Gold.]

Human race's luck value +5000

...

[Server-wide Announcement: Attention all survivors!]

[The lord from the 18th region, 'Meng Yi,' has successfully dispelled the dream of the Human Empire, activated the "Human Race Luck Value" function, and obtained the title: Light of Salvation.]

Human race's luck value +50000

...

[Server-wide Announcement: Attention all survivors!]

[The lord from the 18 regions, 'Meng Yi,' has transformed into a demigod-level being!]

Human race's luck value +5000

...

When three consecutive 'server-wide announcements' appeared, survivors all over the world fell silent for a moment.

Many people even thought they had misread it and opened the system interface to double-check. When they saw that there were indeed three 'server-wide announcements,' the entire world chat channel exploded!

"Holy crap! Holy crap! What's going on? Three server-wide announcements all at once?"

"This is outrageous! Besides Boss Cao Xing, there's actually another name!"

"Who is this Meng Yi? And what is this about dispelling the dream of the Human Empire? How did he do it?"

"My God! Meng Yi has actually broken through to the demigod realm! He even broke through earlier than Cao Xing!"

"Brothers from District 18, come out and tell me, who is this Meng Yi? He actually overshadowed Boss Cao Xing."

"By the way, what is the function of this [Human Race Luck Value]?"

"..."

Various messages kept flooding the screen, most of which were asking who Meng Yi was, and many people were discussing the specific function of 'human race luck value'.

Even the announcement of Cao Xing being bound to a semi-divine artifact was suppressed, which shows the sensation it caused.

The chat channel was refreshing with hundreds of messages per second, eventually forming three main areas of discussion.

1. Who is Meng Yi?
2: What is the dream of the human empire?
3: What is the function of the Human Race's Luck Value?
At this moment, a lord said, "Quickly open your panels and take a look. There's a new [Luck Value] bonus feature."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately checked their attribute panels.

Then, a collective gasp of realization rippled through the chat channel.

"Wow... so this [Luck Value] is a buff shared by the entire human race. It can increase our combat experience points and also increase our movement speed. This effect is really good!"

Others chimed in, "Yes, and triggering world announcements and completing major events will increase the human race's luck value."

"Holy crap! Cao Xing alone added 24, that's incredible!"

"That's awesome! No wonder he's Boss Cao Xing!"

For a time, the entire world channel and regional chat channels were filled with discussions about 'luck value', 'Meng Yi', and 'Cao Xing'.

...

at the same time.

Cao Xing stared intently at the three server-wide announcements that popped up one after another.

"Interesting... They triggered the announcement at the same time as me."

"Moreover... it also dispelled the dream of the human empire."

He murmured to himself, "It seems that what I expected was pretty much true. The being that the Pale Sacred Tree spoke of, 'breaking free from the shackles of fate,' is Meng Yi."

Cao Xing was not surprised by this result. After all, anyone who could attract the attention of the Pale Sacred Tree and be specifically mentioned must be extraordinary.

What he didn't expect was that Meng Yi was able to break through the dream in the center of the empire and even dispel it.

After all, the entity that created this dreamscape was an ancient dragon.

That is a supreme being comparable to the Six True Gods!

Conventional rules have absolutely no effect on these beings.

“This Meng Yi is indeed capable; no wonder the Pale Sacred Tree reminded me.”

"Moreover, he has broken through to the demigod realm..."

Of the billions of survivors across the server, probably no one understands the difficulty of breaking through to the demigod realm better than Cao Xing.

Even he had to expend a lot of resources and complete several world-class events to bring two or three demigods into his territory.

Meng Yi had been trapped in a dream for a year, yet he still grew at such a rapid pace, which truly surprised Cao Xing.

In addition, Cao Xing also noticed the [Luck Value] function on the character interface.

"Luck value? Let me see what it does."

After clicking on the details, a brand new interface appears before your eyes.

[Human Race Luck Value]

[Introduction: When the entire human race of Blue Star completes certain major events or achieves special accomplishments, it will accumulate luck points for the human race.]

[Current total luck value: 326200]

[Buff Effect: All Earthlings gain 32.6% more experience from killing monsters, 32.6% more territory resource production, 32.6% more population cap, and 32.6% more movement speed.]

[Ranking by Luck Value]

[First Place: Cao Xing, 240000 Luck Points]

[Second Place: Meng Yi, 55000 Luck Points]

[Third Place: Angelina, 2300 Luck Points]

[Fourth Place: William Howard, 1800 Luck Points]

[Fifth Place: Rasin Ganji, 1400 Luck Points]

[Sixth place…]

...

The ranking lists the names of nearly 50 people.

However, apart from Cao Xing and Meng Yi, who both have luck values ​​of over five digits, the others have luck values ​​of one or two hundred or one or two thousand.

It can be said that the achievements of these two alone account for more than 90% of the achievements of the entire human race.

Cao Xing said in surprise, "The luck points I contributed actually reached 24."

"It seems that the various tasks and major events I completed in the past have accumulated a lot of luck value without my knowledge."

"As for this Meng Yi..."

He murmured to himself, "According to the Pale Tree, it might help me fight against those ancient beings."

"In other words, this person is a friend, not an enemy, so there is no need to be too wary of him."

"Of course, one should always be wary of others. I cannot completely trust this person just because of what the Pale Tree said."

“If he doesn’t come to me, I don’t need to take the initiative to contact him.”

With that thought in mind, Cao Xing stopped thinking about Meng Yi and closed the Luck Value interface.

Then, he looked at the Holy Light Sage in front of him, who was bathed in holy light after being bound to the [Glyph of Light], and nodded in satisfaction.

"Gospel, the Holy Scripture is now fully bound. You may return now."

The Holy Light Sage bowed slightly and said softly, "The Holy Light will follow your will, Lord."

After saying that, she turned around gracefully and walked towards her residence.

After Isabel left, Cao Xing looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

He muttered to himself, "I've basically used up all the rewards from this great battle with the God of Light."

"I don't have anything important to do next."

"The main purpose is to shatter the dream layers of our combat members, while also guarding against retaliation from the Holy See."

"Then, after a month, we can set off for the [Eternal Frozen Sea] to complete the S-rank mission and find clues to the 'mysterious sea chart'..."

"Besides that, we'll see how things go and go to the Silver Sea Kingdom first..."

He quickly devised a plan for the future development, and while pondering it, he returned to the lord's castle.

...

...

After Cao Xing returned to his room to rest, the survivors around the world were still in a state of excitement.

They were excitedly discussing the server-wide announcements and the [Luck Value] feature in the chat channels or their own legions.

After all, the opening of the [Luck Value] this time is a significant boost for the entire human race.

The 32.6% experience points alone are enough to speed up their leveling up considerably!
Moreover, there are also bonuses to resource production, population, and movement speed.

Moreover, the current large-scale event, [Dream Fragments], is open, which will greatly help other survivors.

It is safe to say that after this event, a large number of survivors will reach the maximum level of 100 or 70.

The era of masters and heroes for all is coming!

Furthermore, there may even be some top-tier individuals among them who can break through the limits and become legendary powerhouses in one fell swoop!
With a population of over a billion humans on Earth, this will be a force that shakes the entire continent's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure or pattern of the world).

Even in the face of future disasters, these survivors will not be without any means to protect themselves.

Amidst the excited discussion, time flew by, and it was already past midnight.

...

...

at the same time.

In an unknown corner of the world, there lies a sacred region, over a thousand kilometers in diameter, shrouded in a shield of holy light.

Every so often, a solemn holy city is built, its buildings exuding an aura of majesty, and the streets are filled with devout believers dressed in white robes.

This is the stronghold of the Papacy.

At this moment, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire magnificent hall.

Of the original twenty-four statues that radiated holy light, one has become extremely dim, and its light is about to be completely extinguished.

In the center of the hall, two disheveled figures knelt in a sorry state.

Their bodies trembled slightly, and their robes were stained with blood, clearly indicating that they had just experienced a fierce battle.

The entire hall was completely silent, except for the faint crackling sound of the sacred fire burning.

After a moment, the golden phantom on the throne, whose features were obscured, finally spoke.

"The Twelve Saints, the Fourteen Great Sages... do you have anything to say about what happened tonight, and the conflict with that otherworldly lord?"

……
