Chapter 427 The Aftermath of the War: A Mixed Bag of Joy and Sorrow
The battle in the Undying City was like a magnitude 12 earthquake, completely overturning the existing landscape of "Origin Realm".
The aftershocks it brought were far more intense and far-reaching than anyone could have imagined.
First, there's the area inside District 21.
With the collapse of the Godslayer Alliance, the dominance of the Myth Guild is now a foregone conclusion.
Those guilds that were once enemies of the Myth Guild or remained neutral are now all scrambling to curry favor with it.
Lin Hai's communicator rang almost 24 hours a day for the next three days.
People came in droves, offering gifts, apologizing, and requesting to join their businesses.
Every day, long queues form outside the city gates of the City of Never Fall, filled with guild leaders and representatives from various guilds, all hoping to catch a glimpse of Hua Zitong.
Those guilds that betrayed the Myth Guild or took advantage of its misfortune in this war met their doom.
Under Hua Zitong's instructions, Immovable Mountain and Steel Shield led the high-spirited main force of the guild to carry out a merciless purge of these guilds.
In an instant, District 21 was filled with cries of despair.
Countless small and medium-sized guilds were forced to disband or be absorbed.
The territory of the Myth Guild expanded at an unprecedented speed in just a few days, encompassing more than 70% of the elite players in the entire 21st district.
The "City That Never Falls" has become the true and only center of District 21.
Outside of District 21, the reactions in other major districts were even more interesting.
District One, the Eternal Capital.
As the most recognized strongest server in the entire network, players in Server 1 have always had an innate sense of superiority.
But now, this sense of superiority has been shattered by Li Wu's devastating arrow.
Their pride and joy, the server's number one player, "Eternal Spear," paled in comparison to Li Wu's phenomenal achievements.
Inside the "Heavenly Punishment" guild of "Eternal Spear," the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
"Guild Master, are we... really not going to make any statement?" The guild's vice-guild master, who is also the younger brother of Eternal Spear, "Eternal Shield," asked cautiously.
Eternal Spear, a handsome man clad in silver armor and wielding a golden spear, stands in the center of the training ground, repeatedly practicing the most basic thrusting motion.
His forehead was covered in sweat, but his eyes were unusually focused.
Upon hearing his brother's words, he didn't pause in his work at all.
"A statement? A statement about what?" His voice was as cold as ice. "Admit I'm inferior to him? Or say his championship was just a fluke?"
"I..." The Shield of Eternity was speechless.
The Eternal Spear stood still, letting out a long breath. "On the battlefield, he killed three world-class lords with a single arrow. The facts are clear; any attempt to justify it is merely self-humiliation."
"But... public opinion outside is very unfavorable to us. Many people say that the era of District One is over."
"Then let them talk." A fierce fighting spirit ignited in the eyes of the Eternal Spear. "Era is not defined by words, but by battles."
"Issue my order: all core members of the guild are to cancel all leave and enter a state of maximum preparedness. Our goal is the world first kill in the next patch!"
"I want everyone to know that my Eternal Spear has not fallen!"
"Yes!" The Shield of Eternity looked at her brother, who had regained his spirits, and hope was rekindled in her heart.
Zone Three, the Ring of Elements.
Flora, the "Elemental Overlord," sat atop her mage tower, repeatedly watching the magical recording of Li Wu's final arrow.
She slowed down the video countless times, capturing every flow of energy runes with crystal clarity.
But the more she looked, the more her brows furrowed.
"I don't understand... I don't understand at all..." she murmured to herself. "This isn't a combination of elements, it's... the weaving of laws. Has he already reached that point?"
A female mage in a magnificent robe, her disciple, stepped forward.
"Teacher, you've been studying all day."
"You don't understand." Flora shook her head. "This contains the ultimate secret of our mage profession. If I can decipher even one ten-thousandth of it, my strength will reach a new level."
"So...did you crack it?"
"No," Flora said with a wry smile. "It's like asking an elementary school student to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. I can't even understand the problem."
She turned off the magic recording, stood up, and gazed into the distance.
"Pass down the order: starting today, our Elemental Ring will grant the Myth Guild in District 21 the highest level of academic exchange privileges. All research findings on elemental magic can be shared with them."
"Teacher? Why?" the disciple exclaimed in surprise. "This is our top secret!"
"Because," Flora's eyes gleamed with wisdom, "I have a premonition that he will write the rules of the future world. What we need to do now is not to be his enemy, but to learn something from him as much as possible."
"Even just a little bit is enough to benefit us for a lifetime."
District 8, the Temple of Knowledge.
The atmosphere in the secret meeting room of the "countermeasures team" was deathly silent.
The team leader, using his knife, distributed the final analysis report to every member present.
The report's title has only four characters.
Abandoning Analysis.
The report contained only one sentence.
"We cannot analyze the gods."
"Team leader..." a team member said with difficulty, "Are we really... just giving up like this? Since our countermeasures team was established, we have never encountered a target that we cannot analyze."
"Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it doesn't exist now." The man with the knife-sized head remained calm. "You've all seen the video. Can any of you tell me the principle behind that last arrow?"
No one answered.
"Can any of you tell me what method we can use to defend against that kind of 'existence erasure' attack?"
Still, no one answered.
"If we can't understand it, can't defend against it, and can't fight it, then what's the point of analyzing it? Is it a waste of time?"
Dao stood up and looked around at his team members.
"I hereby announce that, effective today, the 'Seeing Through the Fog' countermeasures team is officially disbanded."
"In the future, we have only one mission."
He paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Learn from him, understand him, follow him."
"Because he represents the correct answer for this world."
While the top forces in various regions were shocked by Li Wu's strength and adjusted their own strategies.
The forces behind those level 100 experts who he had sent to assassinate Li Wu but were ultimately killed by three arrows fell into a long silence after receiving the news.
They invested enormous resources, but ended up not even scratching the other side.
Even more terrifying, they discovered that they seemed to have provoked an existence that they absolutely could not afford to provoke.
Ultimately, they made a unanimous decision: to immediately withdraw all infiltrators from District 21, and at the same time prepare a generous gift and send it to the Myth Guild in order to seek reconciliation.
They dared not gamble, dared not gamble that the man might follow the clues and find them.
Because they knew that if he really came...
Then what awaits them may be the same fate as those three world-class lords.
It exists, and it is erased.
