The Monster is Coming

Chapter 352 Two New Lands, Throat of Defying Fate
The news of the qualification being awarded spread throughout the various races of the Earth Alliance.

The long-dormant qualification distribution page on the Monster World official website suddenly became the focus of attention.

Countless ineligible players froze on their computer screens, watching the countdown tick away like an eternity.

With the countdown in its final hour, cities around the world seemed to have been silenced.

The once bustling city streets are now deserted, with only automated cleaning robots wandering around collecting non-existent trash.

Shops with staff on duty have all suspended operations.

Only the unmanned stores are still operating under the supervision of robots, but no customers are coming in.

The fountain in the city park was still operating according to its program, with water splashing in the air in beautiful arcs, but there wasn't a single spectator watching.

The traffic lights at the intersection mechanically changed colors. When the red light was on, the empty zebra crossing cast long shadows in the sunlight. When the green light flashed, no vehicles or pedestrians broke the eerie silence.

Even on popular mainstream forums, few netizens continued to post, and the analysis of the number of qualifications in the online live broadcast program ended early.

The experts who were just talking eloquently on the show have now returned to their rooms, just like the other netizens.

Waiting for fate to smile upon them.

In contrast to the tranquility outside, in every room, there is a pair of eyes intently fixed on the screen.

The official website for Monster World also underwent changes at this time.

A burning crimson flame appeared on the homepage of the qualification distribution page.

When the flames subsided, what appeared before the player's eyes was:
[Number of qualifications issued this time: 5000 million.]

At that moment, it seemed as if the entire earth was shaking, and players of all races roared with joy at this number.

The once quiet world instantly became noisy.

For example, a residential building is like a thunderbolt thrown into stagnant water; one after another, the windows of the entire building are pushed open, a man in his pajamas waves his fists and leans out to shout, a woman with disheveled hair rushes to the balcony with a tablet and screams... This is the case in cities of all ethnicities.

Although the number of qualifications issued has been increasing, players still habitually believe that this round will be another difficult "fighting against the world".

Winning a spot through luck is even harder than winning the lottery; the odds are extremely slim.

Unexpectedly, the number of qualifications announced this time was 5000 million player qualifications.

This means that their chances of qualifying have successfully broken through the 0.1% mark, and it also means that each round of qualification distribution will be no less than 5000 million.

In my lifetime, I finally have a chance to enter the monster world.

This presents a life-changing opportunity for unqualified outsiders.

Monster World is no longer just an entertainment game; after the Evolution Shop was launched, it became a ladder to heaven that rewrote reality.

Players can exchange the sacrificial power they earn in the game for lifespan and extraordinary power, which is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Meanwhile, within the City of Destiny, 30,000 pairs of silver eyes simultaneously locked onto the numbers flashing on the screen.

Minghou stood in the center of the Destiny Tower, using his mental power to support the portable computer given to him by the Star Network, which displayed a countdown to the qualification draw page.

His slender fingers tapped meaninglessly in the air.

Although he was a demigod, in the face of higher-dimensional gods, his value was clearly no different from that of other ordinary beings on Earth.

Although the sacrificial prayers were performed in the most solemn manner.

Whether the God of Di Zhao can respond is entirely unknown.

Perhaps the God of Di Zhao doesn't care at all.

It was like a group of ants holding a ceremony in what they thought was a grand ceremony, but in the eyes of the higher-dimensional gods, it was nothing more than a meaningless and ridiculous act.

He had a detailed understanding of the power structure of the monster world in ancient times.

At that time, the Emperor God had followers throughout the entire monster world, including the current Reverse Tide God, as well as the four supreme gods who appeared during the Cataclysmic War, and so on.

In the eyes of these top beings and even top powers, the entire Destiny Clan is undoubtedly just a mortal.

So why would the God of Di Zhao care about a sacrificial prayer ceremony that it led 30,000 of its people to perform?

But the reason he still chose to do it was even if the higher-dimensional gods didn't care.

This is also a way for them to express their respect to higher-dimensional deities.

Ten minutes left in the countdown.

Minghou's heart immediately tightened.

Even when I encountered powerful enemies in the monster world before, I was never this tense.

Ten minutes is a very short time, just a blink of an eye.

However, whether or not one is selected in the lottery can mean a world of difference.

Unconsciously, Minghou's fingers rubbed the rough texture of the "Fate and Tribulation" scroll tightly held in his left hand, but at this moment it felt like a red-hot iron, burning his palm until it went numb.

He could clearly hear the suppressed breathing and heavy heartbeats of the 30,000 tribesmen in the city; all of them, like him, were caught in the most anxious wait.

There are ten minutes left.

Such a short time, placed within the long span of his life, is but a fleeting moment.

But now, every second feels like it's been stretched a thousand times longer.

Anticipation and anxiety intertwined repeatedly.

Their generation was born into a world of monsters, and from birth they were burdened with the destiny of climbing to the top of the world.

This is not a fate that can be escaped simply by giving up.

In the brutal survival rules of the monster world, there is never a middle ground.

The way of life there is very simple.

Either climb to the top by stepping on the corpses of countless lives, becoming the one who can sit in the main seat at the "table" and use power to set the rules of the game for themselves.

Either they become mere crumbs between the teeth of the strong, completely annihilated before they even have a chance to utter a wail.

The monster world is not a warm and loving cradle, but an arena littered with skeletons.

He had witnessed too many ethnic groups heading towards destruction in their development, their tragic final moments met with no sympathy.

In such a world, giving up is tantamount to suicide.

If you don't want to climb, there will naturally be other races that will climb up by stepping on your back.

If you try to live a life of seclusion in a remote corner, you will eventually become an ant that others will crush while expanding their territory.

The Fate Clan has managed to survive to this day not by luck, but by the unwavering determination etched into the bones of each generation.

We must become stronger, we must stand taller, we must become the kind of person who can sit at the table and eat.

The members of each branch of the clan roam the monster world, earning rule-derived energy through equivalent trade, all for the future of their clan.

That's why he's so eager for this player qualification.

What Earth players see as entertainment is, in his eyes, the ticket to transform food into a diner.

It is an opportunity to break free from the savage survival rules of the monster world.

As long as the Emperor God bestows his grace, they can completely break free from their struggles and embark on a path straight to the peak battlefield.

These last ten minutes are the turning point that leads destiny toward the light.

If they are chosen, the Fate Clan can use this thread to climb to higher-dimensional gods and touch the hem of the supreme robe.

"Five minutes left."

Just then, the voice of Lifefall rang out on the mental communication channel, interrupting Lifethroat's thoughts.

This follower, who had once doubted his decision to come to Earth, now spoke with a trembling voice, unable to hide his excitement.

When Minghou came to his senses, he realized that his silver robe was already soaked with cold sweat.

I've long forgotten when the last time I sweated from nervousness was.

He looked up at the sky, his gaze passing through the transparent barrier of the Tower of Destiny and sweeping across the clouds.

It was as if one could see through the clouds into the indifferent eyes of a higher-dimensional deity, and the emotions rising in one's heart were a mixture of fear of the unknown and a resolute determination to gamble everything.

This is like a game never before played, but it's not an equal game.

The odds aren't even 50/50.

Whether one wins or loses depends entirely on the will of the higher-dimensional deities.

He took a deep breath and pressed the scroll of "Fate and Calamity" tightly against his chest, as if he could draw power from the flowing incantations.

Tension gripped his heart like vines, tightening ever more.

Even if his heart core were to leap out of his chest in the next second, he had to stand here and wait for the moment that would decide his fate.

The countdown has entered its final minute.

"Prepare."

Simple instructions were transmitted throughout the City of Destiny via the mental network.

All the clansmen took a deep breath in unison, their hands trembling as they gripped the mouse connected to the terminal.

At this moment, Minghou slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, he was no longer the high and mighty Lord of the Fate Clan, but just an ordinary being waiting for the gods' favor along with his clansmen.

All desires will be revealed in these few seconds.

"start."

When the countdown reached zero, at his command, all members of the Destiny Clan completed the clicks as quickly as possible.

Even without considering network transmission speed, the lottery speed of the 30,000 members of the Destiny Clan is among the fastest.

Immediately, the same message popped up on all the monitors:

[Your account has been registered and you are eligible to participate in the lottery. Please wait patiently: the lottery will begin in 59 minutes and 59 seconds.]

As the countdown began, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

The entire City of Destiny was shrouded in a peculiar atmosphere, and the 30,000 extraordinary beings were as restless as ordinary students waiting for their college entrance exam results.

His emotions were completely out of control.

It even made them feel uneasy.

Just recently, a special Soul that made them ecstatic was added to their Soul Bank: Strong Luck.

Misfortune plus good fortune—if they could enter the monster world, they couldn't even imagine how happy they would be.

But until you qualify, everything you imagine is just a pipe dream.

30 minutes left in the countdown.

The younger members of the tribe, unable to contain their impatience, began pacing unconsciously around the room.

One minute left in the countdown.

The crystals in the Destiny Tower suddenly shone with a dazzling light.

Minghou took a deep breath and slowly raised his right hand.

At this moment, the spiritual network of 30,000 tribesmen was completely synchronized, like a fully drawn bowstring, and began to chant the prayers and oaths of the Destiny Tribe.

The moment the countdown reached zero, all members of the Destiny Clan were on edge.

His eyes were glued to the screen, not daring to relax for even a moment.

At this moment, Minghou, like his clansmen, clenched his fists and stared intently at the screen.

At the center of the dazzling light emanating from the screen, a line of large, scarlet characters appeared:

[Congratulations! You have successfully obtained player status and your identity information has been linked. Please enter the Monster World within one hour to activate and use it.]

"Hahaha."

Laughter burst forth uncontrollably from his throat.

The same laughter echoed in different parts of the tribe's territory, accompanied by sighs of disappointment.

"How many clansmen qualified?" Minghou asked excitedly, suppressing his joy.

When asked, the clansmen who had been selected spoke up in their spiritual network.

According to the statistics, Minghou was pleasantly surprised to find that a total of 32 clan members obtained player qualifications in this round of qualification distribution.

Although the number is small, it is enough to prove that they are able to obtain qualifications in each round of qualification distribution.

This news made him clench his fist in excitement.

As for time.

They have plenty of time; they can wait on Earth for a long time.

Those clansmen who did not qualify can also assist their clansmen in growing in the monster world by watching the live stream.

Provide knowledge-based assistance.

"Qualified members will enter the game and will be allowed to develop freely for the time being. I will gather you all when the time is right."

After speaking, Minghou decisively went to the game pod.

He reached out and pressed the "start" button, waved to remove his silver robe, and crawled into the game pod to lie down.

The game pod was specially designed by the Lunar Eclipse Clan after collecting data from members of the Fate Clan, and its size is perfectly suited.

As for the nutrient solution, it is optional and meaningless.

Their bodies, even if left on Earth after death, would remain undecayed and incorrupt for countless years.

After the nerve tubes were connected to various parts of the body, Minghou decisively relaxed his mental defenses.

Otherwise, relying solely on the mental connection function built into the game pod, it would be impossible to break through the barrier of his mental consciousness.

After a few seconds of waiting, my vision gradually faded into darkness.

When it became clear again, it was on a virtual desktop with a background of a dynamic image of Earth taken from space.

Besides the "Virtual Functions" icon, there is only one burning scarlet flame icon above, with the words "Monster World" written below.

A touch of consciousness triggers a powerful suction force.

Its consciousness instantly fell into a hazy, half-awake state.

Once consciousness returns, the opening scene is presented before your eyes.

Each scene has its own unique characteristics, and representative forces are depicted in the visuals.

Besides the Rumbling Continent, Lifethroat also has knowledge of the environment and regions of the Pale Continent.

They return to the brutal monster world, but with a completely different mindset.

He's now a player, free to play however he wants without any restrictions, with an unlimited margin for error to support him.

Watching the opening scene, Minghou felt a surge of pride and confidence.

The magnificent landscape of this monster world is truly breathtaking, and the player, with a clear mindset, thoroughly filters out the hidden dangers in different scenarios.

After all the scenes were demonstrated, the blue crystal containment wall appeared in front of the throat.

The above lists the selectable Souls, which are essentially the rules.

Even in the monster world, rules are the rarest strategic resource.

Minghou's fingertips hovered in front of the crystal wall, trembling slightly.

The power of rules that required entire races to fight for in the monster world was now laid out before them like commodities.

In his eyes, every primordial monster within the crystal wall exuded an alluring aura.

"That was...exciting." His voice was so dry it sounded unlike his own. The Fate Clan had spent 30,000 years, advancing from a small world to a monster world, and had only mastered three rules.

Here, players can freely choose and combine items.

Some players even complained that a certain Soul was "useless" and that even a dog wouldn't play it.

It should be noted that each of the Primal Beasts here contains the complete power of the rules.

It's a framework-level set of rules for the monster world, which is incomparable to ordinary rules.

More importantly, once you enter the game, many Tier 1 rules can be purchased for only 500 sacrificial power.

In the monster world, resources equivalent to 500 sacrificial power are barely even a fraction of the rules.

It doesn't even mention the rules; it doesn't even touch on pseudo-rules.

Suddenly, Minghou recalled an event from history books where the Fate Clan sacrificed two entire branches of the clan in order to seize control of the rules.

Thus, these two branches disappeared completely.

Such devastating casualties, all for the sake of obtaining a rule.

However, at this moment, he obtained a containment wall with selectable rules simply by descending.

How ironic.

A fanatical glint flashed in Minghou's eyes, and the outline of the entire crystal wall was reflected in his silvery-white pupils.

Is this the power of higher-dimensional existence?
They manipulate the most coveted treasures from all over the world as if they were toys.

His gaze swept across the various primordial monsters, and he noticed that Lifethroat had two favorite Life Souls.

These are misfortune and good fortune, respectively, and these two life souls are perfectly suited to the growth system he wants to follow.

However, in the initial stage, these two life souls have almost no effect on combat power.

To grow quickly, combat power should be the core indicator in the early stages.

His gaze eventually focused on one of the three initial god-tier monsters mentioned by forum players: the Eagle-Headed Demon.

The combat style of the Fate Clan primarily relies on consuming mental energy.

It can generate a fierce wind to fight.

Eagle-headed Demon is one of the souls that provides the most boost to mental power in the early game, and it also provides perfect environmental perception, making it the most suitable first choice soul for him.

[Is it confirmed that the initial Soul Selection is a Tier 1 Soul: Eagle-Headed Demon?]

"determine."

Having made his choice, the harpy imprisoned in the third containment cell raised its head and cried out, then flapped its fiery red wings, shattering the crystal wall, and flew straight toward him, its sharp claws growing larger and larger before his eyes.

[Challenger's Hint: After completing the initial Soul selection: Eagle-Headed Demon, please name your game character: ...]

Having already decided on the game's name, four characters came to mind.

Immediately, the corresponding text popped up in the input box: Apostle of Fate.

[Challenger's Note: This name has already been used by another player. Please change your game name.]

"The Chosen One".

[Challenger's Note: This name has already been used by another player. Please change your game name.]

"The Wheel of Fortune".

"Take control of your destiny."

"A game of fate."

Life Throat: ...

He changed his name several times, but all the game IDs he wanted were already taken.

This left him feeling helpless.

After a brief moment of thought, he changed his name again.

"The throat of defying fate."

[Name successfully chosen, Throat of Destiny. Please select your initial landing location.]

Along with the prompts, three maps and introductory information appeared in Minghou's mind.

The first map in the picture is an aerial view of the mining area in Teizuka Village.

It is divided into two parts: an open-pit mine and an underground mine. Players can enter the underground mine directly through multiple tunnel entrances outside the open-pit mine.

The details are shown at the bottom of the screen.

Descent Location 1: Teizuka Village Mining Area.

Description: You will arrive at the Fusion Mine in Imperial Tomb Village and receive a basic pickaxe with 100/100 durability as a gift.

The second map shows a vast and desolate Gobi Desert.

The gray-brown rock strata were sculpted by the gale into sharp halberd shapes, like countless broken weapons piercing the leaden-gray sky.

In the distance, the sandstorm surged like giant waves, and occasionally, one could catch glimpses of wandering, gigantic skeletal creatures appearing and disappearing in the sandstorm.

Looking towards the horizon, one can see several ruined buildings left behind by the descending forces.

Descent Location Two: The Halberd of Sand (Pale Continent Region)
Introduction: You will descend upon the desolate easternmost edge of the Pale Continent, facing howling sandstorms and roaming monsters. This is a wild and unexplored region, fraught with danger but also hiding undiscovered special opportunities.

New area features: Numerous monsters, special events may occur during exploration, suitable for players with strong personal abilities and an adventurous spirit.

Life Throat's gaze turned to the third map.

What comes into view is a rugged coastline shrouded in gray mist.

The jet-black reefs pierced the sea like the fangs of a giant beast, and the waves splashed up fluorescent, toxic blue water as they crashed against them.

At low tide, narrow paths leading to the seabed are exposed between the slippery rock crevices, revealing the remains of many structures left by intelligent beings.

Looking towards the horizon at the end of the dynamic screen, the huge dorsal fins of the sea monsters occasionally cut through the water, stirring up swirling currents.

Descent Location 3: Rumbling Coast (Rumbling Continent Region - Southern Coast)

Introduction: You will arrive in the southernmost edge of the Rumbling Continent, which is shrouded in gray fog all year round. The humid air here is filled with toxic particles all year round. At high tide, reef paths leading to underwater ruins will appear. Ferocious sea beasts often invade the coast.

Features: A highly spiritual environment with abundant natural spiritual resources, but prolonged activity in this area will result in poisoning (suitable for players who enjoy gathering, adventure, and marine environments).

……

From Minghou's perspective, these three regions have obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Imperial Tomb Village is undoubtedly the safest environment for growth, with no external threats, but the returns are also the lowest.

The "Sandbreaker Halberd" at the eastern end of the Pale Continent produces few spiritual resources and is barren, but it has a large number of monsters to hunt.

Suitable for warlike players who enjoy hunting, leveling up, and challenging monsters.

The "Earth-Ringing Coast" region, located on the southern coast of the Earth-Ringing Continent, is rich in resources, but the environment is extremely dangerous. The air is toxic, and players' health is constantly decreasing during exploration. Before equipping the Qi-Eating Soul, exploration is quite difficult, but it is rich in spiritual resources.

After a brief moment of thought, Minghou decisively chose the Pale Continent region he was most familiar with: the Sandbreaker Halberd.

Having made his choice, a strong suction force swept over him, and his consciousness entered a state of transition once again.

Once his vision cleared, he found himself standing next to the teleportation array of the Sandbreaker Halberd, and a cacophony of noise immediately assaulted him.

Along with this came a strong feeling of weakness.

The newly formed player body, Life Throat, staggered, its knees almost collapsing to the ground.

This player's body... is too weak.

The demigod power that once flowed in his blood vanished after he became a player.

When I raise my hand, there is no longer any energy flowing through my fingertips, and even my breathing no longer resonates with the world; it even feels somewhat strenuous.

He instinctively pressed his hand to his chest, where a divine heart should have been beating, but now only the most basic mortal flesh and blood were pumping.

Strangely, this weakness was tinged with an unprecedented purity.

Although the player's body was weak, it was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, without any burdens.

This is a kind of "vitality" I have never felt before, like grass sprouts emerging from the frozen soil in early spring, full of surging vitality.

It even gave him a feeling of being reborn.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Look how crowded it is behind you. Can't you just get out and stand there like a dummy?"

Suddenly, a shoving came from behind, and Minghou snapped back to his senses, turning his head to look.

He saw a Giant Python player glaring at him fiercely.

"What are you looking at? Come on, I can tell you're a stinky outsider who just arrived recently. You're really lucky."

"Oh, oh." Realizing that his standing still was blocking the way for the players behind him, Minghou decisively followed the flow of people and moved forward.

During this time, shouts from players coming from all directions kept ringing in my ears:

"Get out of my way, or I'll cut you all down too."

"Hey hey hey, which bastard stepped on my foot? The newbie village is so crowded it's like a sardine can, and you're still running around like that. Don't you have any sense of public decency?"

"Damn it, I thought there would be fewer people on this map, but it's packed with people. This is terrible. I should have chosen the Teizuka Village mining area."

……

Just then, the Challenger's prompt rang in the minds of all players.

[Challenger's Notice (Sandbreaker Region Channel): Due to excessive number of players within the spatial node, a temporary special teleportation mode has been activated. All players remaining in the Sandbreaker scene for five minutes will be forcibly teleported out of the spatial node scene (duration: 10 days).]

[Challenger's Notice (All Channels): Starting today, a ranking event for newbies' overall Soul Level will be open. The top 100,000 players on the leaderboard will receive generous rewards.]

Countdown to the end of the event: 9 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes.

The event rewards are as follows:

First place: 100 million sacrificial power, Star Pulse Gauge +2
2nd-5th place: 50 Sacrifice Power, Star Pulse Gauge +1
6th-20th place: 10 Sacrifice Power, Star Pulse Gauge +1.

……

Event settings: The newbie leveling leaderboard is updated in real time, only displaying the game IDs of the top 10 players.

Limitations: This event only counts the level of Soul Essence obtained through hunting. Experience gained from consuming Evolution Pills or teaming up with veteran players will not be counted on the leaderboard. The event will be monitored throughout.

……

The newbie leveling event officially begins at this moment.

The players inside the spatial node went even crazier, all wanting to leave the spatial node as soon as possible and go outside to start hunting.

Many players have even prepared nutrient solutions and are ready to stay online for ten days straight.

I'm willing to grind all day, just to secure a spot on the newbie leveling leaderboard.

This way, you'll start the game with a beginner's gift pack.

As more and more players entered the game, forced teleportation was activated, and players continued to disappear in white light.

Squeezed into the crowd, feeling short of breath, Minghou was also transported out of the village at this moment.

After the white light that had enveloped our vision dissipated, a desolate Gobi Desert scene suddenly unfolded before us.

The four characters "Sand-Breaking Halberd" appeared in my eyes and then disappeared.

In the distance, the gray-brown rock formations stand like the skeleton of a giant beast under the blazing sun, while the distant sandstorm, like a moving city wall, slowly swallows the horizon.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the air also increases instantly upon entering the new scene.

The regional channels were a complete mess.

"Ahhh, so many people! Anyone want to team up? My goal is to become the strongest tanky player in the entire server. Looking for a small team or group willing to allocate a high percentage of resources."

"Any experienced players nearby? I'm a newbie looking for someone to guide me. I can handle anything, and I'll flatter you until you're happy, providing plenty of emotional support."

"CPDD, I am a warrior ranked in the top ten million of the entire server's combat power rankings in Sinful Lands. I will help you level up quickly. I will kill even the ugliest ones. Come on, anyone."

"Don't move, let me kill first. Don't force me to kneel down and beg you."

……

The heatwave, carrying sand and gravel, slapped against his face, and he instinctively raised his hand to shield himself.

This new body is extremely sensitive to pain; if it were the original body, this level of sandstorm wouldn't even scratch his skin.

Just as he was preparing to set off, the challenger's prompt sounded in his mind again:
[Challenger's Hint: Obtain the special item "Destiny Rule Derivative Imprint".]

"what?"

Minghou decisively brought up the function panel and opened the space bag.

In its initial state, the inventory only has 50 slots, and in the first slot lies a brand that shines with dazzling brilliance.

Focus your attention and present relevant information.

[Imprints Derived from the Rules of Fate]:
Item Description: Twelve Source-level Derivative Imprints of the Rules of Fate, each of the twelve Fate Lords of the Fate Clan holds one, which can connect to the Rules of Fate to activate the Law of Equivalent Game.

Note 1: The item is sealed and cannot be connected to the rules of fate.

Note 2: It can consume 115 million sacrificial power to unlock the item's seal and create it into a pseudo-rule soul (after the soul creation is completed, the fate rule derivative mark will sever its connection with the fate rule).
……

When he saw that the Destiny Source-level derivative rule he possessed had appeared in his backpack, Minghou was stunned.

He entered the monster world as a player, thinking that everything he owned would disappear with him.

From then on, nothing in reality will have any connection with the player's body until the moment of "mass ascension" in the StarNet arrives, at which point the game's attributes will be reflected in reality.

Unexpectedly, the power of the rules that he brought with him when he arrived on Earth also entered the game.

Before that, he was thinking of finding a way to contact the people of the monster world after he improved his strength.

Let them also descend to Earth and become part of the Earth Alliance.

In this way, the rules of fate can also be integrated into the player system, allowing them to grow rapidly in the monster world using their most proficient methods.

Unexpectedly, the rules of fate were available right from the start.

The only drawback is that it requires 115 million sacrificial power to create it into a life soul.

He immediately thought of the challenger's hint about the newbie leveling-up event.

The size of the ranking list for this event has increased from 10,000 in the previous round to 100,000.

The rewards have also been significantly increased.

The first place winner will receive a reward of 100 million sacrificial power.

This funding will be used to unlock the creation of this special life essence.

With the idea in mind, Minghou suddenly felt full of energy.

"Hey bro, wanna team up?"

Just then, a rough shout came from behind, interrupting Minghou's thoughts.

He turned his head and saw a player carrying a stone axe, which he had picked up from somewhere, waving at him. The player then pointed to the stone axe, which had been worn smooth by wind and sand, and grinned.

"I was born with a weapon bestowed by nature. Join me, and I guarantee you'll be on the leveling leaderboard early on."

Looking at the other person's smug expression, Minghou suddenly realized something.

Here, he is no longer the lord who needs to protect the entire tribe and worry about the future development of the tribe.

He was just a novice player who needed to improve quickly.

This feeling of being relieved of burdens... brought him unexpected pleasure.

After declining the player's invitation, Minghou transformed into a member of the "locust army," following the massive crowd into the dust-filled scene.
