Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

According to Kal'tsit, not all races that ascend to the Abyss have an "ancestral land." Some, like Matt and Liu Nian, ascended before the Ascension War was over. These players are usually alone and are generally strong.

In addition, there are differences among the races that successfully won the promotion war.

Some annexed two races, some wiped out all other races, and some did not do so through combat but through diplomacy, alliances, or trade. A very small number of them rose to power as vassals.

The Sun Elves, for example, conquered a city through battle and then formed an alliance with another city through diplomacy, successfully achieving promotion. Since their region also includes another race that successfully achieved promotion, the Colossus, their region is not just the ancestral home of the Sun Elves, but rather a division between the two.

Kal'tsit's "Dawn" guild was established after arriving in the Land of Abyss. Its members are basically all kinds of elf and half-elf players, and are elf players from various regions who have successfully advanced to the Land of Abyss.

Yes, many guilds here are cross-regional forces.

There are currently about 800,000 players in the entire Naraku Realm, but the exact number of races is unknown.

In any case, apart from the races that have their own main cities, the others are distributed among the main cities of the four major systems.

The distribution of the system's main cities is not arbitrary.

The area where Liu Nian is currently located is within the radiation range of Otaveon, which is specifically prepared for humanoid races.

Elves, dwarves, gnomes, humans—basically anything humanoid is here.

Minotaur, centaur, gnoll, snake people, and lizard people all ascended to the vicinity of the barbaric fortress in the endless wilderness;

Elemental creatures such as stone giants, water elementals, snow monsters, and wind spirits are classified under Miserka;

The remaining strange creatures, such as murlocs, beholders, dryads, mind flayers, slimes, constructs, mantises, and undead, are all in Matarion.

There are also some creatures, like fire dwarves, who are both humanoid and possess strong fire elemental attributes. These creatures can move freely between Ovitan and Miserka.

More powerful races, such as those born of gods, demons, dragons, and fairies, are much freer and can move freely among the four cities.

Of course, that doesn't mean other creatures can't go. As long as you're strong enough, no one will stop you if you want to.

Besides the four main cities, the Land of Abyss is dotted with hundreds of cities of varying sizes, as well as countless dungeons, secret realms, fortresses, strongholds, instances, and interdimensional portals...

After Kal'tsit's explanation, Liu Nian finally had a general understanding of the situation in the Land of Abyss.

He then asked, "What about the NPC factions that rule the four main cities?"

Kal'tsit lowered her voice: "You've hit the nail on the head. On the surface, the four system cities operate independently with their own city lords, but the real controllers behind the scenes are those five—the Lord of Eternal Day, the Emperor of No Light, the Empress of the Empire, the Ancestral God of the Wilderness, and the Lord of the Deep Sea! However, they do it very discreetly, basically controlling things secretly through proxies."

Liu Nian thought to himself: The rulers of the five major factions... It's said they are also transcendent beings...

In other words, he is very likely to come into the sights of these five people.

Fortunately, he still had a heart for deception. Liu Nian felt that as long as these five people weren't face to face with him, no one should be able to discover his secret.

The two headed north.

The scenery along the way is changing—the wasteland is gradually being replaced by grassland, and occasionally you can see some player teams passing by in a hurry, keeping a wary distance from each other.

Kal'tsit pointed to a gigantic building that was faintly visible in the distance: "See that? That's Ovitar's directional teleportation node. The Abyss is too vast; you couldn't reach the main city on foot even in a year. So, teleportation arrays are set up at key locations in each area, and you can use them by paying a fee. However, teleportation arrays are divided into directional and non-directional ones. directional ones don't need to be activated in advance; after use, they will teleport you to the next fixed location. Non-directional ones require you to arrive in advance to activate, and after activation, you can reach other non-directional teleportation arrays at any time..."

Liu Nian looked in the direction she pointed—a lone obelisk, more than ten meters high, stood on the grassland, its base emitting a faint blue light.

As he approached, he discovered that a dozen or so people had gathered around the obelisk.

There were elves, dwarves, two gnomes, and a fellow shrouded in a cloak whose face was obscured.

The obelisk was very large, so everyone placed their hands on it without disturbing each other, and then disappeared in a beam of light.

"Oh, by the way, the currency here is crystal coins; 1000 gold coins can be exchanged for 1 crystal coin. Hmm~ it's on you this time!"

Liu Nian was silent for two seconds. He thought he was quite rich, but he didn't expect this place to be such a rip-off!

1000 gold coins can be exchanged for one crystal coin. Who the hell set this exchange rate?

It costs 1 crystal coin to teleport once!

He had saved up a lot of money in his original region, which he thought would be a huge sum, but now he realizes that the money he has is only enough to exchange for a few thousand crystal coins.

When it was their turn, Kal'tsit placed her hand on the obelisk, turned around and shouted to Liu Nian, "Remember, land in the central square, don't run around, wait for me—"

Before he could finish speaking, he disappeared.

Liu Nian followed her example and placed her hand on it as well.

A cool sensation surged from my palm and instantly spread throughout my body.

Several teleportation points immediately appeared inside, all of which were major key nodes within the city of Otawien.

Liu Nian chose the central square.

The scene before my eyes began to distort and blur, as if I had been thrown into a giant whirlpool.

Then, in a flash, Liu Nian's feet landed on solid ground.

He opened his eyes, and before he could even see his surroundings clearly, he was overwhelmed by a massive surge of information—

Welcome to Ovitan—one of the four major system cities, a gathering place for humanoid races.

[You are the leader of the "Dragonborn," and your identity has been recorded. You will have the following privileges here:]

5. Can participate in cross-server events such as the Void Arena and the Battlefield of the Gods.

6. More privileges are unlocked with reputation.

……

Liu Nian blinked, digesting the information before looking around.

He stood in the center of a huge square.

The square's surface is made of a warm, milky-white stone, with intricate magical patterns engraved on its surface. Light occasionally flows along these patterns, like the pulse of the city.

Looking up, the sky was an eerie hue of deep purple and dark gold. There was no sun or moon, but a soft light poured down from all directions, enveloping the entire city in an eternal twilight.

But the most shocking thing was directly overhead—

A city hanging upside down.

Yes, upside down.

Directly above Ovitan, about a kilometer in the air, another enormous city floats silently, but it is upside down—the spires point downwards, the foundations upwards, and the streets and buildings hang upside down in the sky, like a giant mirror.

You can vaguely see light flowing in that "fallen city" and a large number of figures moving about.

"Don't worry, you won't fall!" A familiar voice came, and Kal'tsit appeared beside him.
