World version update

Chapter 313 Version Invasion
"EX-level story points rewards? Special titles? And permanent freedom from reincarnation?"

A burly young man named Dulin, with a longsword radiating a faint holy light at his waist, stared wide-eyed in shock, almost unable to believe what was displayed on his God Watch.

The other four members of the hero's team beside him, who had just fallen awkwardly from the void distortion, were all in the same state of shock and ecstasy. The fatigue and vigilance on their faces were instantly replaced by an uncontrollable excitement.

EX-level story points!

That's the highest-level universal reward in the God's Space. If you can make perfect use of an EX-level story point, along with enough resources and luck, you could even cultivate a titled Reincarnator with world-destroying power, comparable to the Void Refining Realm in the cultivation system.

An existence of this caliber would be able to roam freely in any world of a main god's mission.

As for special titles, their value is even greater than EX-level story points.

In the God Realm, titles are not only symbols of honor, but also often represent higher levels of God Realm authority.

Such as knowing some information about the next main god mission in advance, being exempt from the annihilation penalty for failing a mission, and forcibly returning to the main god space when encountering force majeure in the mission world.

These precious privileges, which ordinary reincarnators dream of, can only be unlocked by obtaining the corresponding titles.

Special titles are even rarer and more powerful. It is said that some top-tier special titles can even mark an entire God's quest world as their legion's base, making it an exclusive territory for cultivating their own power and continuously acquiring resources.

Those who possess such special titles are all terrifying beings standing at the top of the pyramid of the main god space, looking down on all living beings.

However, these two incredibly valuable rewards pale in comparison to the glittering gold text at the end of the task list, and seem insignificant.

Permanently removed from the cycle of reincarnation!

These few simple words, however, struck like a thunderbolt in the hearts of every member of the brave team, making their blood boil.

All those who enter the main god's space are well aware of a cruel destiny.

Once chosen, they are destined for an endless cycle of missions, traversing one bizarre and perilous world after another, constantly struggling and fighting for survival.

Even the most powerful reincarnators cannot truly escape the shackles of this destiny. A slight misstep could lead to their complete demise in a seemingly insignificant mission of the main god, turning them into cosmic dust.

To break free from this endless cycle of reincarnation and regain true freedom is the deepest desire in the hearts of all top reincarnators, and also the ultimate driving force for their continuous ascent.

However, while entering the main god space is easy, leaving is incredibly difficult.

To date, in the vast and ever-flowing history of reincarnators, there has never been a single reincarnator who has truly escaped the control of the Main God Space.

Right now, the God Realm has unexpectedly offered the ultimate reward: permanent freedom from reincarnation.

The value it contains is beyond words.

This news caused all the members of the Hero Squad to tremble slightly with extreme excitement, their eyes burning with an unprecedented fervor.

In the God's Space, a place teeming with all sorts of powerful individuals, the Brave Squad is considered a renowned top-tier Reincarnator squad.

The team's five core members, even the weakest among them, have reached the level of intruders comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation system, possessing the formidable strength to stir up trouble in the mission world.

Dulin, the team leader, and Sinark, the team's strategist and vice-captain, possess terrifying combat power comparable to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, making them renowned and powerful figures throughout the entire God Realm.

"We must get this escape permission!" A voluptuous female team member, dressed in revealing leather armor and wielding two massive battle axes, growled through gritted teeth, her eyes gleaming with bloodlust.

"I've waited for this day for far too long!" Another assassin-type team member, dressed in black and exuding an aura like a ghost, said in a hoarse voice, his clenched fists trembling slightly from the force.

"The difficulty of an EX-level large-scale legion combat mission is beyond imagination. We must treat it with utmost care and cannot be careless in the slightest," the young man in the futuristic combat suit calmly analyzed.

"The Supreme God will not issue missions that are certain to lead to death. No matter how difficult the mission is, there will always be a glimmer of hope."

We must fight with all our might! Otherwise, even if we survive this time, we will eventually die in some even more brutal mission from the main god in the future, with no hope of ever rising again.

In the end, it was Dulin, as the team captain, who was the first to calm down from that extreme excitement thanks to his strong willpower.

He took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening and resolute, and said in a deep voice:

"Alright, everyone calm down!"
As per our team's usual practice, our primary task is to gather intelligence on this native world, understanding its power structure, the distribution of major forces, and the specifics of our objective, the Sky Curtain. Only then will we formulate a detailed operational plan based on this intelligence.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over each team member, and continued:

"Since it is a large-scale legion confrontation mission, then there must be more than just our top reincarnator team participating in this mission."

The competition is foreseeably fierce, and we must unite all possible forces, whether it be the indigenous resistance forces of this world or other cooperative reincarnation teams, all of whom could be crucial to our mission.

After Captain Dulin's analysis and planning, the rest of the Brave Squad, who had been somewhat agitated by the huge reward, gradually calmed down and regained the composure and calmness befitting a top-tier Reincarnator.

Just then, the vice-captain, Snark, dressed in a deep blue arcane robe embroidered with intricate star and rune patterns, suddenly frowned and spoke:
"Have you noticed that this instance world we've entered seems to be fundamentally different from all the instance worlds we've experienced before?"

Snark is the only arcane master in the team, specializing in soul perception and rule analysis. He has an extraordinary keen insight into subtle changes in energy fluctuations and world laws.

In contrast, Captain Dulin follows the traditional Holy Sword Warrior system, which excels in direct combat and charging into battle. In terms of metaphysical aspects like the inspiration of rules, his perception is far inferior to that of Snark, who is proficient in arcane arts.

Upon hearing Snark's words, the other members of the team immediately shifted their attention from the excitement of the mission reward and began to carefully perceive their surroundings.

The team member dressed in futuristic combat gear even immediately took out a fist-sized metal sphere from his back.

With a casual toss, the sphere unfolded in mid-air, transforming into a buzzing little unmanned reconnaissance drone, which began rapidly collecting data such as spectral information, spatial curvature parameters, and energy particle concentrations of the surrounding world.

"Sinak, what specific differences are you referring to?" Captain Dulin suppressed his excitement, his expression turning serious as he asked Sinak.

Snark frowned, seemingly struggling to find the right words. After a long pause, he spoke slowly in an uncertain tone:
"I always felt that this instance world was much larger than any world we had ever experienced before."

"Big?" Upon hearing this, the sci-fi team member who was controlling the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft glanced at the data displayed on the virtual screen projected on his wrist, shook his head and said: "According to the information obtained from the preliminary scan by the reconnaissance aircraft, the total surface area of ​​this world is about 200 million square kilometers. Although it is vast, it is not particularly huge."

It was even smaller than the Zerg homeworld we had experienced, and that world of swords and magic with dragons and gods.

Hearing this, Snark frowned even more deeply, and slowly shook his head to explain:
"No, it's not about the size of the physical space, but rather a vastness on a cognitive level that's much harder to describe."

From the moment I entered this world, I felt a sense of comfort and release on a spiritual level.

It's as if my soul had been confined to a small, oppressive box, and now, finally freed from those constraints, has entered a much wider and more boundless world.

Snark's cryptic words seemed to have given Captain Dulin a hint.

He subconsciously glanced down at the God of War wristwatch on his wrist, a thoughtful expression on his face, and said hesitantly:

"Now that you mention it, I also vaguely sense that since entering this world, some very secret connections between me and the God Watch seem to have been weakened quite a bit."

It was as if a supreme god was being suppressed in this world.

The conversation between Snark and Dulin, which sounded somewhat strange and even unbelievable, immediately piqued the curiosity of the other three members of the Hero Squad. They all began to try to sense their connection with the Main God Space and the special features that this world might have.

After some discussion and verification, the members of the Brave Squad unanimously agreed that the Cyberpunk instance world they had entered must be hiding some huge secret that they were yet to discover.

However, they soon lost interest in pondering these profound questions.

Less than three minutes after these reincarnators arrived in this wilderness, the entire sky, which covered the heavens and shone with a cold metallic luster, suddenly flashed with an eerie, dark blue light without warning.

Immediately afterwards, the countless psionic matrix nodes above the sky, as dense as stars, began to operate and flow rapidly in a dazzling manner.

Finally, at the very center of the sky, countless beams of psionic energy converged, revealing an enormous, indescribably cold eye!
That eye hung in the sky, casting its all-seeing gaze precisely onto the wilderness where the hero's team was located.

"boom!!!"

A deep, resounding roar, seemingly from the heavens above or the depths of the earth, exploded across the land without warning.

Immediately afterwards, the members of the hero's team were horrified to see that something terrifying seemed to have been completely activated within the sky above them.

Countless beams of azure psionic energy, a million times more dazzling than when the eyes were manifested before, poured down from all directions of the sky like a burst dam.

These psionic beams were not chaotic, but rather possessed a breathtaking order and precision. They rapidly intertwined and converged in mid-air, instantly forming a surging ocean of energy.

The brave team could even clearly see the seawater, composed of pure psionic energy, violently churning and roaring. Each surge of the waves was accompanied by a violent distortion and wailing of space, as if even this world could not withstand the terrifying pressure of this energy.

"Not good!" Captain Dulin's expression changed drastically. Almost instinctively, he drew the longsword that emitted a soft holy light from his waist.

The sacred runes on the sword instantly lit up, and an incredibly solid golden sword aura shot out, attempting to cut a path to survival before the sea of ​​spiritual energy completely engulfed them.

However, his attack was as insignificant as a drop in the ocean in the face of such a massive energy surge.

The golden sword energy, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter peaks, disintegrated as quickly as ice and snow melting the moment it touched the edge of the sea of ​​spiritual energy, without even causing a ripple.

"Defend with all your might!" Vice-captain Snak's sharp shout rang in the ears of every team member.

At the tip of his arcane staff, a fist-sized azure crystal burst forth with dazzling light, and layers of energy shields made of arcane runes rapidly stacked up like onions, attempting to withstand the earth-shattering energy impact.

The other team members also displayed their unique abilities. The team member wearing the futuristic armor instantly deployed dozens of small energy deflection shields on the surface of the armor, while the energy cannons on his shoulders began to unleash a barrage of firepower in an attempt to weaken the impact of the psionic sea.

The female berserker wielding twin axes let out a deafening roar, her muscles bulging and her skin adorned with beast-like totems. Crimson flames blazed from her twin axes as she prepared to confront the torrent of energy head-on.

But all this resistance seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the sea of ​​psionic energy that was like a natural disaster.

In just an instant, the entire vast wasteland, along with everything on it, was completely submerged by this endless sea of ​​spiritual energy.

There was no loud explosion, nor any earth-shattering shockwave.

There was only a chilling sense of annihilation.

It was as if this wasteland, along with all the matter and energy on it, was completely decomposed and assimilated by the terrifying energy contained within it the moment it came into contact with the sea of ​​spiritual energy, turning into a part of that boiling ocean.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a raging, dark blue energy.

And this is just the beginning.

Within the vast expanse covered by the celestial canopy, in those unknown wildernesses, ruins, and even the fringes of cities, similar tragedies were unfolding almost simultaneously.

Hundreds of reincarnation squads from the Main God Space, like moths thrown into boiling oil, were mercilessly locked onto and devastated by the Eye of God the moment they arrived in this world.

Thick beams of psionic energy descended from the sky, and surging oceans of psionic energy appeared out of thin air, turning the reincarnators who had just set foot on this land, and who hadn't even had time to see their surroundings, into ashes in droves.

What's truly chilling is that the number of these reincarnators seems to be virtually endless.

They are like locusts drawn by some mysterious force. No matter how efficiently and cruelly the Eye of God exterminates them, new faces keep arriving in every corner of the world through various strange spatial rifts and energy fluctuations.

In this unprecedented purge, the vast majority of the reincarnator teams that were slightly weaker or unlucky perished swiftly under the all-seeing gaze of the Eye of God, without even making a ripple.

But there are always some survivors who are experienced, highly skilled, or possess special survival techniques.

The moment they arrived, they keenly sensed the terror that enveloped the entire world, and immediately, at all costs, they blended into the densely populated city as quickly as possible.

Like drops of water merging into the ocean, they quickly changed their appearance, imitated the speech and behavior of the world's natives, tried their best to conceal their own aura, and carefully assimilated themselves into this vast and sophisticated social system, temporarily escaping the omnipresent surveillance of the Eye of God.

In the cyber world, the version invasion has begun!
