This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

Damn, how come Xiao Ai is running so fast?

Not long ago, they were ranked in the dozens. How did they suddenly jump to third place and even have a combat power of over 100 million?

Did he take out a huge loan or did he have some kind of stroke of luck?

If we have the chance to catch him and ask him, and if we have any extraordinary encounters, we might as well share them.

But... wasn't he casting his own vote?

Jiang Liu glanced at the power rankings again and saw that the second and third place names had disappeared, apparently hiding their identities to avoid embarrassment.

A vote difference of millions of times is something all players in the region can see. If it were me, I would also hide it; it's too embarrassing.

Well, there's not much to say about these votes. Thanks for your support, brothers.

I, Jiang Liu, have no virtue or ability to repay you, so I can only lead you to victory in this event.

Previously, he would lead players from one route in his city to complete the event, but now he has to lead players from the entire region to win the event. He's a little nervous about it, feeling a lot of pressure!

This is not a small scene with a few million people, this is a big scene with hundreds of millions of players!

If all the players in the region were to become the protectors, and then the event was lost, he probably wouldn't even have the courage to look at the chat box.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot afford to lose our first cross-regional event!

Protect the divine pet that descended from the heavens!

Veteran player from Zone 3!

Get the mystery pet egg!

I have to be all!

"The first phase of selecting protectors will last for one day, which is enough time for me to prepare..."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, squinting slightly, as he began to plan what he could do in a day.

First, the concentration of both the Golden Dragon bloodline and the True Phoenix bloodline can be increased to over 10%, unlocking the second effect, Dragon's Might and Phoenix's Might, which can suppress surrounding monsters...

Gan!

A bloodline concentration of 11% can only suppress monsters. Only when the bloodline concentration reaches 31% can the Dragon and Phoenix Strikes be unlocked and have an effect on player units!

It's useless and won't improve anything, so I won't draw it for now.

If you don't pull from the limited-time banner, then the rest of your time is easy to manage; just keep farming Black Skulls.

Farming Black Skulls for Black Skull Summoning Tokens is definitely more useful than farming Black Skulls in the early stages of the Golden Core realm than farming them for 99% of players in the fourth server.

It's just that there wasn't enough time. Otherwise, if we had farmed thousands or tens of thousands of Black Skull Summoning Orders, we could have easily wiped out all the players in the three servers.

The third server only opened half a year earlier, so even if there are Golden Core players, the number probably won't be too large.

The players who truly influence the outcome of the battle are probably those in the Foundation Establishment stage.

There are probably thousands of times more Foundation Establishment players in Zone 3 than in Zone 4...

Damn, the more I think about it, the more certain it seems like we're doomed to lose.

Planner, you are in charge. You don’t want the first cross-regional event to have an embarrassing one-sided situation, right?

"Oh right, I also need to get some spirit stones."

As Jiang Liu pondered, he suddenly remembered that the pop-up notification box on the battle power ranking said that the Guardian position consumes a lot of spirit stone resources. Doesn't this clearly tell you that the Guardian position is exclusive to the super rich?

Yesterday, he bought 100,000 gacha packs in one go, and now he only has a little over 1 million spirit stones left in his backpack. He doesn't know if that's enough to squander.

Damn, the planner can’t be so shady, right?

Never mind, let's prepare more; consider it the cost of buying mystery pet eggs.

He thought secretly in his heart, opened the chat box, posted Baixiu Dan on the sect channel, and sent a message.

[Jiang Liu: Selling Hundred Cultivation Pills, original price 1 spirit stones, internal price 7777 spirit stones. Interested parties can click on my profile picture to trade directly. Limited quantity, first come first served.]

He drew a large number of Hundred Cultivation Pills from the limited-time pool, and with a new source of income in hand, he decided to give a 7% discount as a reward to his fellow sect members.

As soon as he said this, the sect channel started flooded with messages again, and his emails also started flashing wildly.

In less than five minutes, all 1300 Hundred Cultivation Pills were sold out, and more than 1000 million spirit stones were added to the inventory.

The speed and the amount of spirit stones astonished Jiang Liu.

Holy crap, these guys are seriously rich!

With over 1000 million spirit stones, the total number of spirit stones in my backpack has exceeded eight figures. This money-making speed is hundreds or thousands of times faster than selling magic artifacts and spells!

Alchemists, how noble!

If you can make money selling a Hundred Cultivation Pill for 1 spirit stones, who will still sell magic artifacts and spells for a few hundred spirit stones in the future?

Throw them all away. It would be a waste of time to take them out and mail them to Li Dongze.

Um......

It's still worth keeping some high-quality magical artifacts and spells.

The mid-grade ones haven't dropped in price much, so throwing them away would be a real waste.

Low-grade... Oh well, a few hundred spirit stones are still spirit stones, every little bit counts.

In five minutes, the participants had earned enough spirit stones, and there was only one thing left to do.

[Jiang Liu: @All members are on standby at the entrance of the Ghost-Faced Demon Palace. Yi Luoluo is on standby. Black Skulls are spawning endlessly!]

Chapter 169: The second phase of the event begins! Players from the third region launch a surprise attack! (5K daily votes requested!)

If I throw out 100 Black Skull Summoning Orders and the opponent throws out 1 Golden Core Summoning Orders in return, how should I respond?

Jiang Liu looked at the 100 Black Skull Summoning Orders in his backpack and fell into deep thought.

If you can one-shot the boss, this thing is really easy to farm!

In one day, he collected 100 cards, enough to summon 100 black skeletons to fight for him for an hour.

To be honest, he felt that these 100 summoning tokens were more useful than those from players in the fourth region.

The problem is, it's easy for him to farm, but it's also easy for players in Zone 3 to farm.

Even if their Gengjin Divine Continent doesn't have the Ghost-Faced Demon Palace map, it will have the Green-Faced Demon Palace, White-Faced Demon Palace, etc., and it will still drop BOSS Summoning Tokens.

He collected 100 summoning tokens in one day by himself. Doesn't that mean players in the third region have tens of thousands of BOSS summoning tokens?

If you try to unleash all that power at once, then you might as well give up and declare it a failure.

I have more summoning orders in my hand, but I feel that this battle is getting harder and harder.

But when he thought about it again, he realized he had misunderstood.

This is a Golden Core BOSS summoning order!

In the fourth region, without him, a single summoning order would be enough to help any player win first place in the event, making it extremely valuable.

Although the third zone opened half a year earlier, it certainly hasn't reached the point where Golden Cores are abundant. Golden Core BOSS Summoning Tokens are still considered precious items.

Is it appropriate to spend a lot of valuable items just for an event?

It's suitable for the entire region.

But for individuals, get lost.

Although he is an individual, he can afford to smash things!

Can he afford to spend the Golden Core BOSS Summoning Token in Zone 3?

So, in the end, it all comes down to financial resources?

Jiang Liu glanced at the Black Skull Summoning Token in his backpack a few times, then slowly lowered his gaze to the more than 1000 million spirit stones in his backpack at the bottom, a wealthy smile appearing on his face.

The first phase of the cross-region event "Divine Pets Descend from the Sky," namely the "Guardian Election," has ended.

[Jiang Liu, the top-ranked player on the combat power leaderboard, the Sect Master of the Primordial Beginning Sect, and the one who destroyed the Golden Core stage, has become the protector of this event. All players are requested to assist him in completing the remaining activities.]

The second phase of the cross-server event "Divine Pet Descends from Heaven," titled "Ninefold Thunder Array," is now open. Would you like to enter?

【Yes】

Jiang Liu responded, and then a beam of light enveloped him, and in a dizzying moment, he entered the event map.

When he opened his eyes again, he was met with a dense crowd of players, filling his entire field of vision. His vision was filled with a chaotic mix of colors, which made him feel dizzy and lightheaded at first glance.

How many people must that be!

The bodies of all the players around were semi-transparent, and within this small one-square-meter space, dozens or even hundreds of players were overlapping.

The densely packed players and their chaotic, bee-like noise sent chills down Jiang Liu's spine.

Wait, isn't this event map quite small? Why are so many players crammed together?

[The map has been found to have an excessive number of players. Would you like to enable blocking mode?]

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

After the one-click blocking, the surroundings quieted down, and only one player was displayed per square meter, which was an acceptable density.

It was at this moment that the system's voice resounded in his mind.

You have entered the event map—Feather Island.

You have participated in the second phase of the "Divine Pet Descends from Heaven" event—the Ninefold Thunder Array.

[This map is a cross-region map; the combat power in both regions has been balanced.]

[Map balance adjustments: Players in Zone 3 receive a 20% reduction in all attributes, while players in Zone 4 receive a 50% increase in all attributes]

Please check the event panel in the upper left corner for details of this event.

As soon as he entered the map, the system gave Jiang Liu a surprise.

Players in Zone 3 will have all attributes reduced by 20%!

Players in Zone 4 will receive a 50% increase in all attributes!

Damn, that cut really hurt!

Jiang Liu was overjoyed. He had guessed that the cross-regional activities would inevitably be balanced, but he hadn't expected the adjustment to be so significant.
