The Monster is Coming

Chapter 356 I Came to Earth to Clean Up the Trash
Destiny City.

Ming Shu knelt on the ground, his face bruised and swollen.

He was surrounded by members of the Dragon Sparrow lineage, whose anger had not yet subsided.

Directly in front of it was the Life Throat, which had just been offline not long ago.

At this moment, the anger in Minghou's eyes almost solidified into a tangible form.

He looked down at the book of fate kneeling on the ground, and felt a surge of relief at surviving the ordeal.

Thanks to the timely warning from the Lunar Eclipse Clan, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

A brat from the Heavenly Mandate lineage actually dared to attempt to construct a blood sacrifice array on Earth, hoping to refine the entire planet.

It's just audacious.

If he were to activate the formation, I don't even want to imagine how serious the consequences would be.

His newly begun happiness will be completely destroyed.

This will also sever the connection between one's destiny and fate.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her long, silvery-white hair danced wildly without wind as her emotions surged.

"I told you to follow the trail, what are you doing?" Minghou's voice was chillingly cold.

At this moment, Ming Shu, who was kneeling on the ground, had his mask broken, revealing a face full of bruises and eyes swollen into slits.

He was about to look up when the angry glares from the Dragon Sparrow clan members forced him to lower his head again, and he mumbled incoherently:

"Oh... I really wanted to verify the astrological trajectory you left behind, and finally found the spatial coordinates you left behind... but after crossing the space, I found that this world was extremely desolate... I thought I had the wrong coordinates..."

Through the account in the Book of Fate, Fate Throat learned the whole story.

The root of all the problems was that he took all the resources from the Book of Fate.

The Book of Fate believed there was a problem with the teleportation and wanted to try again by rearranging the coordinates.

But lacking resources, they thought of refining the Earth to use it as a transit point for energy replenishment.

These words sent chills down the spines of the Dragon Sparrow clan members present.

At that time, the refining array was just one step away from being officially activated.

The Book of Fate will then lead them to the Yellow Springs.

Looking back now, I'm truly terrified.

The surrounding members of the Dragon Sparrow lineage echoed in hushed tones, some of them already unable to contain themselves and clenching their fists again.

But the Book of Fate had not yet realized just how much trouble it had caused.

Judging from the reactions of Minghou and the others, he seemed to have done something wrong, but he still didn't understand what he had done wrong.

Upon arriving in this world, it simply conducted a survey of its environment.

Then a refining array was set up.

The creatures of this world are clearly not worth the anger of the Dragon Sparrow lineage.

As the Destiny Clan has developed to this day, there are quite a few groups that have undergone refinement.

The creatures in this small world don't even have spiritual veins in their bodies, and are no different from ants. How could the Dragon Sparrow Lord possibly care?

Could it be that my own grand formation disrupted the Dragon Sparrow's hidden plans in this world?

Lost in thought, Ming Shu still had a question in his mind.

Why has the life force of the Dragon Sparrow Master recovered?

When we met in the monster world just now, the Dragon Sparrow's life force was extremely weak; a single breath would have killed it.

But in the blink of an eye, it regained its life force at the demigod level.

Various questions kept flooding into my mind, but the Book of Fate did not directly ask them.

The members of the Dragon Sparrow lineage are all furious.

If he said the wrong thing, he would probably get another beating, so he had no choice but to swallow his grievances.

This Dragon Sparrow Fate Master is truly going too far.

First, they took away the resources I had painstakingly accumulated, and then claimed they would guide me on a path to transcendence.

As a result, he turned around and led his clansmen to give him a severe beating.

This is blatant bullying of a junior! It's shameful!
Minghou looked down at Mingshu's cowering figure and said coldly:
"Get up. I know what you're thinking. Do you think I'm bullying a junior?"

"I wouldn't dare, I know I was wrong."

Even if there was resentment in his heart, the other party was, after all, the master of fate, so the Book of Fate decisively admitted defeat.

At this moment, Life Throat turned to look at Life Fall:
“Mingyun, take him to your room and let him see the truth.”

"Yes." Mingyun nodded immediately, then glared fiercely at Mingshu, who was kneeling on the ground:
"follow me."

Although Ming Shu was puzzled, he still got up unsteadily and followed Ming Hou toward the residential area.

Before long, it followed its fate to its destination.

The room where the man died was simply furnished, with only a monitor and a chair in the entire room.

The roof of the room was also torn open with a large hole.

He was pulled to the table and forced to sit down by Mingyun, who stood behind the table, his fingertips rapidly tapping on the portable screen.

The monitor lit up instantly, with a faint blue halo around the edges.

"Take a good look." Lifefall's tone was still impatient as he opened the official website homepage of Monster World.

What came into view were the four large characters "Monster World," which were automatically translated into the language of the Destiny Clan.

The Book of Fate frowned, not understanding what Fate's intentions were in doing this.

Then, under Mingyun's control, the webpage redirected to the live stream page, opened a screen recording, and played it at 10.0x speed.

This speed is perfectly understandable from the perspective of the Book of Fate.

The book of fate, initially puzzled, gradually turned to shock.

In the screen recording, he saw the Dragon Sparrow Fate Master born from the spatial node as a player, and its rapid growth after leaving the space.

And this was the weak Dragon Sparrow Fate Master he encountered in the monster world.

Their growth in strength has been remarkably rapid.

In less than three days, he gained the blessing of three rule powers.

When the scene shifts to the moment when the Dragon Sparrow Lord meets him, his strength has increased hundreds of times compared to when he was first born.

The subsequent scenes were even more shocking to the book of destiny.

In the scene, the Dragon Sparrow Lord chooses to self-destruct under the attack of a group of monsters, but is resurrected at the place of its birth an hour later.

At this moment, Mingyun turned off the screen recording and redirected the page to the forum.

I dug out a series of player-communicated strategy guides from my bookmarks.

Upon seeing the contents, which stated that players could be resurrected in the starting village an hour after death, and their bodies would be restored to their most perfect state, the pupils under the Destiny Book Mask suddenly contracted.

It subconsciously touched its bruised and swollen cheeks.

"If you want to know anything next, just browse around. You can use the mouse on the desktop to control the cursor."

"Life is about to end," he said coldly.

Upon hearing the decree, he pressed the mouse with trembling hands.

Try moving it, and the cursor on the screen will move in sync.

Soul Repository, World Map, Functional Buildings... Time slipped away as I browsed through them.

The content presented on the website was unbelievable to it.

They finally understood why the aura emanating from the Dragon Sparrow Lord was completely different from that in the Monster World.

Because he has two bodies.

One of them was the pure body he had examined, which was the player's body.

At this moment, the Book of Fate opened the "Historical Records of Glory".

A virtual photo album with gilded borders slowly unfolds on the official website page.

The cover features intertwined swords and shields. Turning the page, one hears a faint light and an aged murmur, as if recounting the glory of battles recorded by time.

The first thing that catches the eye is a line of text: In the long river of time, some stories are enough to be recorded in history and become legends.

As he continued reading, the records of major and minor battles made the Book of Fate realize something.

This is hardly a glorious chapter in history.

It's entirely a story of a group of players who have mastered a vast set of rules, crushing one faction after another in an almost cheating manner, and rapidly rising to power.

The extent of this force's growth is clearly recorded in the annals of glory.

This was also documented in earlier posts on the forum.

Initially, they fought fiercely against the evil spirits in the waning moon environment, and now they have established player factions with territories spanning multiple regions.

Players are like a swarm of locusts, growing rapidly through hunting and devouring.

Every piece of information on the Monster World official website is overturning its understanding of this world.

He was especially stunned when he learned that the player's rule-making abilities actually came from the primordial source.

While the strength of a Primal Monster may not be exceptional, each Primal Monster represents a framework-level rule of the monster world, making it impossible for any force to control it.

The information recorded in the forum and the annals of glory proves one thing.

Every primordial monster killed by players becomes a rule mastered by the players.

This discovery completely astonished the Book of Fate.

The Destiny Clan has historical records and has conducted detailed research and investigations into the primordial monsters.

Finally chose to give up.

The ability of the Fate Clan to contain the Primordial One is simply beyond their capabilities.

After learning about the systems of top forces like the Black Tide, they realized what the Primordial Monsters meant.

There is only one possibility for a player to contain the Primal.

Behind them stood the legendary creator god who personally created the monster world: Di Zhao.

This is further linked to the fact that the Dragon Sparrow lineage has now settled on Earth and become players.

All the fragmented information quickly pieced together a truth in his mind.

This muddy world of Earth is actually a land of blessings bestowed by higher-dimensional deities.

Those seemingly weak creatures on Earth, which could be wiped out with a breath, have another side that it had never seen before.

It is the player race, a brutal force that has rapidly risen in the monster world, exploring and hunting with unbridled abandon.

Time passed, but the Book of Fate was still browsing forum information.

It finally understood what the "transcendence opportunity" that the Dragon Sparrow's master had mentioned was.

That is to become a player.

Once you become a player, you can completely break free from racial barriers.

They gain a pure body capable of bearing countless rules and powers, and are also endowed with various rule-level functions that are unimaginable to other races.

The player's growth model is a freedom it once dared not even dream of.

Explore, hunt, arena, fishing, dungeons, and more.

As a player, you can live freely. You can even use other powerful forces as a source of nourishment for your own growth.

For example, the hardcore players who grew up in the Reverse Tide Legion.

Competitive players who grow stronger through battles in the Ancient Gods' Arena.

Or perhaps they are new players who have grown stronger through battles against the Elysians.

Or perhaps it's a dungeon-farming player who grows through dungeons in the adventurer world created by the top-tier "Blue Lantern Clan".

There are many other ways to play.

Players can have unlimited tolerance for error and grow in their preferred way, as long as they want.

The seemingly weak player race has actually already obtained the ticket to advance to the peak battlefield.

This force is protected by higher-dimensional deities.

Even the Dragon Sparrow Fate Lord, who possessed the strength of a demigod, suffered greatly at the hands of players, leading to a backlash from the rules and logic.

In its eyes, the creatures of Earth are nothing but ants with no future, but in the eyes of higher-dimensional gods, their existence is even less than that of ants.

Upon learning the truth, the book of fate was completely stunned.

He made a sound in his throat, but couldn't utter a single word.

The information on the Monster World website is like a scroll slowly unfolding before your eyes, revealing a crystal-clear path to heaven.

The resentment and anger from being brutally beaten by the Dragon Sparrow clan had long since vanished, leaving only a suffocating shock.

The truth that the Dragon Sparrow Fate Master had been hiding was actually the opportunity to become a player.

Information from the forum reveals that the higher-dimensional deities did not allow the beings of Earth to know the truth behind the players' factions.

The Dragon Sparrow Lord also chose to keep it a secret, fearing that his rash actions would anger the higher-dimensional gods.

Telling him to follow his own destiny is also giving him the opportunity to become a player.

Seeing its dejected appearance, Mingyun snorted coldly:
"Now you know why the Dragon Sparrow Fate Master is angry, right?"

Ignoring Mingyun's taunts, Mingshu stared intently at the words "Qualification Application" on the Monster World website.

It had come to understand what the Dragon Sparrow Lord's "weak" body in the monster world truly meant.

"So this is the truth of transcending shackles." The Book of Fate murmured to himself, his voice trembling, his eyes uncontrollably burning.

But then an overwhelming fear welled up deep inside me.

It suddenly realized just how serious a mistake it had made.

They actually dared to set up a refining array in the game arena where high-dimensional gods recruit players.

It's certain that this refining array will never be completed.

At the very moment it is about to take shape, divine punishment will descend; it is just one thought away from death.

The Battle of Spirit Breath is a cross-server war recorded in the annals of glory.

This is a hidden mini-world instance in the eyes of players.

But it is naturally clear that this is a real cross-border war.

When Earth faces a crisis, the power of higher-dimensional deities will secretly lend a helping hand.

If it had activated the refining array at that time, a high-dimensional divine force would have surely descended to punish it.

Fortunately, it was the brothers of the Dragon Sparrow lineage who stopped it.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Despite being severely beaten, Ming Shu felt only gratitude at that moment.

That beating was worth it.

Fear, dread, excitement, exhilaration... a mix of emotions swirled in Ming Shu's mind.

Ultimately, all emotions transformed into anticipation.

The Dragon Sparrow lineage has proven that the Fate Clan can become part of the player's faction, just like other alien races that have descended upon Earth.

Therefore, it also has the opportunity to become a player.

As his thoughts raced, the cursor, controlled by his hand, continued to slide across the Monster World player forum.

The rapidly flashing words, images, and videos sketch out a whole new world in its mind.

There, death is not the end, loss is nothing to regret, and even the most precious rules can be dismantled and replaced at any time.

In theory, as long as one has enough sacrificial power, one can fuse all the rules in the Soul Treasury with the player's body.

Furthermore, the number of rules in the Soul Treasury continues to grow as players explore and hunt the Primal Source.

This future sounds amazing.

The player faction showed it that as long as it was willing to work hard, it could easily master the rules.

In contrast, the growth model of an equivalent game merchant is like an ant trapped in a quagmire, still haggling over the gain or loss of a single grain of sugar.

They are completely different dimensions.

As Ming Shu looked at the various amusing stories shared by players on the forum, he suddenly felt that all the efforts he had made in the past for resources were a joke.

In the player system, value is not defined by bloodline or origin, but only by how much effort you are willing to put in to become stronger.

Those hardcore gamers who are willing to stay online for days on end progress much faster than casual gamers.

Luck is certainly important when exploring the world, but being able to become a player is already the greatest luck.

This clearly visible path of growth, without relying on an ethereal destiny, is entirely based on the feeling of controlling one's own future, like a fire burning ever brighter in one's heart.

Compared to the allure of becoming a player, what are these minor injuries?

Worth it!

"Have seen enough?"

Just then, the sound of death interrupted its thoughts.

Turning its head, it saw Mingyun leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, coldly watching it:
"Now that we know the truth, it's time to go back and give the person in charge an answer."

Upon hearing these words, Ming Shu felt a pang of anxiety.

"I see."

Knowing he had made a grave mistake, Ming Shu felt bitter; it seemed the crisis was far from over.

It nearly harmed the Dragon Sparrow Lord and his followers; killing it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Fortunately, since the Dragon Sparrow's master allowed it to understand the truth, it proves that there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

"Let's go, don't keep the client waiting."

The person who wrote the decree immediately got up.

Before leaving the room with its life, it couldn't help but look back at the "Qualification Application" page on the Monster World website.

After stepping across the threshold, Ming Shu took a deep breath and quickly caught up with Ming Yun's figure.

Before long, the Book of Fate returned to Fate Throat.

"Dragon Sparrow Fate Master, I was wrong."

Kneeling on one knee before Minghou, Mingshu lowered his head.

Looking at the already repentant fate book, Fate Throat's eyes were icy cold.

The fault of the Book of Fate is also his fault.

If he hadn't been so engrossed in the monster world that he forgot to instruct his tribe to receive him, the disaster that almost occurred could have been avoided.

Secondly, the Book of Fate clearly states that it initially believed there was an error in the teleportation coordinates.

Moreover, he gave all his resources to her, which led her to come up with the idea of ​​refining the Earth and using it as an energy transfer station.

Therefore, the errors are not entirely in the Book of Fate; one also bears some responsibility.

But punishment cannot be avoided.

It needs to give the Lunar Eclipse Clan a clear explanation.

Although the overall strength of the Lunar Eclipse Clan is negligible, and they could easily erase even the moon where they live, the Lunar Eclipse Clan is, after all, the representative of higher-dimensional gods on Earth.

It cannot be measured by the strength of combat power.

Secondly, his future plans for the Destiny Casino will require the cooperation of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild created by the Lunar Eclipse Clan.

Finally, it was also for the sake of the race members who would gradually join the Earth Alliance in the future.

The game pod, the StarNet, Earth citizenship... all the facilities and equipment required before becoming a player need the help of the Lunar Eclipse Clan.

The Fate Clan will need the support of the Lunar Eclipse Clan to go further in the future.

Therefore, he had to give the Lunar Eclipse Clan a satisfactory explanation.

He left the decision of how to handle the matter entirely to the Lunar Eclipse Clan, at most he would have to shamelessly plead for mercy for the Book of Fate.

If the Lunar Eclipse Clan truly intends for the Book of Fate to atone with his death, even if he is unwilling, he can only act in accordance with the Lunar Eclipse Clan's decision.

He could distinguish between the importance of an individual and the future of a community.

He glanced down at the Book of Fate kneeling before him, then transformed into a silver ray and flew toward the Tower of Fate in the city center.

Not long after, Minghou returned after finishing his conversation with Xingwang.

The Book of Fate, still kneeling on one knee, looked up at Fate's Throat, then lowered its head again.

It could roughly guess the departure of the throat.

Clearly, he was going to speak with the representative of a higher-dimensional deity on Earth to inquire about how to deal with himself.

"The Book of Fate".

"Junior is here."

“I bear some responsibility for the mistakes you made. Fortunately, the Lunar Eclipse Clan did not investigate further, but you have messed up the Earth’s marine ecosystem. This debt must be settled.”

After speaking, he leaned down and stared at the book of fate. The anger in his eyes faded, replaced by an undeniable air of authority.
"As per the demands of the Lunar Eclipse Clan, you are hereby punished to clean up global ocean pollution and reconstruct the marine ecosystem. You may return only after you have completed this task. In addition, you will have one year to set up a spiritual energy array on the seabed and attempt to nurture the Earth's spiritual energy based on the ocean."

Ming Shu suddenly looked up, the bruises on his face still lingering, but his eyes lit up.

The cleanup of ocean pollution and the year-long campaign of punishment, though seemingly arduous, were far less severe than anticipated.

It was about to agree, but then it couldn't help but swallow.

Then, mustering his courage, he looked at Minghou and tentatively asked in a low voice:
"Dragon Sparrow Lord, when can I apply for player status after I complete the mission?"

"You dare mention it again?" Minghou glared at it fiercely.
“You don’t even have the status of a citizen of the Earth Alliance, so you don’t have the authority to apply for player status. Get to the beach right now and don’t let me find out you’re slacking off. If I find out that half of the sea area is not up to standard within the specified time limit, you can forget about ever touching the game pod again.”

"Yes, junior obeys!"

As if granted a pardon, the messenger scrambled to his feet and flew out of the city.

It hadn't flown far when it suddenly turned back and bowed deeply in the direction of its throat.

Watching the Book of Fate stagger away, Fate's Fall, standing beside Fate's Throat, couldn't help but whisper:
"Master, isn't this punishment too lenient?"

Life and Throat shook their heads:

"The responsibility for this matter does not lie entirely with it. I was so engrossed in the rapid growth of the player's body that I forgot to instruct you to receive me beforehand, so I also bear some responsibility... Now, punishing him to spend a year improving the ocean environment is also a requirement of the Lunar Eclipse Clan."

"Alright, I'll leave the rest of the city restoration project to you. I have other important matters to attend to."

After speaking, he transformed into a silver streak and headed straight for the game pod.

It doesn't want to stay on Earth for even a second longer in this harsh environment.

I wasted too much time earlier and lost a lot of evolution points and sacrificial power. Time to log back in and fight!
