Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

This intelligent system can combine human intuitive thinking, analytical thinking, spiritual power, and etheric energy to operate the entire human society with super-strong perception, computing power, and spiritual interference power.

"Nothing that happens in the Fifth World can escape the perception of the ultimate will."

Fifth Eye said, "The Ultimate Will possesses the wisdom of all humanity and the highest legal authority; it will be responsible for handling all criminal cases for humanity."

"The investigation and handling results of this terrorist attack should be available soon."

"At that time, all the results will be sent to the individuals involved by the final decision-maker."

"We'll know the results soon. Mr. Fan and Miss Youbai will also be notified."

"Ultimately, the will can break through the blockade of 'A'... What does 'A' refer to?"

Fan Xiao grasped the key information in Fifth Pupil's words.

“The letter A is the node.” The person who answered this question was Xia Li.

Fifth Eye added, "Due to some historical issues, the A-letter node and the D-letter node are currently in a hostile relationship..."

“Oh, I know that,” Fan Xiao replied.

Xiao Zhen mentioned this.

In the early days of evolution games, there was a battle between demi-human players and human players for supremacy, with the dragon race leading the demi-human players.

Later, the demi-human players were defeated, the dragons retreated and moved to the D-letter node, and the war ended... It seems that it only ended superficially.

"Mr. Fan knows? Then this matter is easier to explain."

Fifth Eye continued, "There is a group of people in the A-letter node who have never given up their invasion of our Fifth World. They have their eyes on the Dragon God's legacy."

"Many years ago, a covert struggle began between some ancient forces in the D05 node and the A node."

"Several hundred years ago, the ancient forces in node A launched a blatant invasion war, bringing their clandestine struggle into the open."

"They have created a weapon specifically designed to counter ether energy, and they launch an invasion against us every so often..."

As Fifth Eye recounts his story, Fan Xiao gradually gains a more detailed understanding of the open and covert struggle between A and D that has lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years.

In the beginning, node D05 was completely unable to resist the invasion of the ancient forces in node A and was once suppressed to the brink of extinction.

A – This is the name given by the people at node D05 to the cluster of suppressive forces dispatched from node A.

During the war, several coups occurred within the D05 node, and the social system continued to evolve and change until, hundreds of years ago, a large number of nations and mythical beast families, under the guidance of the Fifth Family, completely merged to form the "Pan-Human Federation" that unified the entire D05 node.

It was around that time that the ultimate will was finally born after a long period of research and development.

Ultimately, the will of humanity, uniting all nodes, exercised unimaginable authority and finally broke through "A's" blockade of etheric energy.

Fan Xiao had already witnessed this power of authority—the "mental restraint field" that suddenly appeared at the train station and suppressed the mind was a very small-scale and rudimentary application of authority.

When this authority is fully activated... it is said that the spiritual dimension and some conceptual realms will be tightly restricted, and only super players will be able to unleash some power for combat.

As for the super players, the Dragon God will deal with them.

Ultimate Will is one of the key features of the D05 node.

Since its inception, the D05 node has developed rapidly.

To this day, the invasion war waged by "A" against the D05 node is still ongoing and continues to erupt from time to time.

However, things are different now. The D05 node has developed a strong resistance force and has not suffered any defeats on its own territory.

“Node wars…don’t the game companies care?” Fan Xiao asked.

"Game companies never interfere in the war between nodes."

Fifth Eye shook his head: "In fact... game companies are quite happy to see open and covert struggles between different nodes."

"The company probably doesn't want to see any one company dominate at any point. If everyone is fighting, it will be more beneficial to the company's superior position."

"Moreover... we're not exactly fighting against the entire A-letter node. The A-letter node is the most powerful node in the entire evolution game, apart from the initial partition. No other node can compare to it for the time being."

"Our enemies are only those ancient families who survived that ancient war; they are now considered the world's nobles in Node A."

"World nobility?" Fan Xiao asked curiously, "The top ten noble families of a game company?"

“They’re different,” Fifth Eye replied. “The former were self-proclaimed by some powerful human players in the early days of the evolution game. The latter are ten mysterious families that existed before the game company was founded.”

At this moment, Xia Li asked curiously, "Fan Xiao, how do you know about the Ten Great Nobles?"

The existence of the game company's top ten nobles is not exactly a secret, but it is generally only known to high-level players.

Most players at the higher nodes had never even heard of him, let alone Fan Xiao, who came from a lower node.

After killing a mid-to-high-ranking member of the Glenndale family, he learned... Fan Xiao answered in his mind.

He would naturally not say such things directly.

He said, "I heard it from four players who came from the initial zone."

"What are the players in the initial partition doing at node G08?" Xia Li asked curiously.

“I don’t know,” Fan Xiao shook his head. “They only said they were going to arrest and deal with a dangerous individual, but they didn’t say anything else.”

Yes, this dangerous individual is sitting right in front of you.

“Let’s not talk about that,” Fan Xiao waved his hand. “I have a question for you. What exactly is the Dragon God? In the history I’ve heard, the Dragon God died a long time ago.”

What he was really puzzled about wasn't that the so-called Dragon God still existed.

It's just a title; whoever gets it becomes the Dragon God.

What he found truly strange was that the Dragon God in node D05... was the real deal!

He had confirmed one thing by flipping a coin – using supernatural powers to probe the Dragon God's information would be discovered by the Dragon God.

Even the most skilled players don't have this ability.

Unless you possess an S-rank information item.

"Mr. Fan, you are referring to the first generation of Dragon God."

Fifth Eye explained, "The first Dragon God was our common ancestor, and our ancestor did indeed pass away a long time ago."

"However, the power of our ancestors has been passed down from generation to generation through the 'God-Making Project,' which is no secret in our D05 node..."

The so-called god-making project is an ultimate plan that requires thousands of years of continuous intergenerational transmission to complete.

Although the first Dragon God died, he left behind four great legacies.

One is a remnant of the first S-class item in history—it has evolved into the final will of today.

The second is the S-level replica – it has been integrated with the entire D05 node.

Thirdly, there is the extraordinary gene—which is also integrated into node D05. All life born at node D05 possesses the Dragon God gene.

Fourthly, there is an unimaginably vast amount of etheric energy—only the most outstanding dragon gene awakeners, after their player level reaches S-rank, are qualified to receive this etheric energy and ascend to godhood in one fell swoop.

However, because this energy is so immense, the lifespan of each generation of dragon gods is not very long.

The shortest lifespan, less than 30 years, is when the extraordinary genes collapse due to the inability to bear the etheric energy, and the supernatural beings completely merge into the ether.

This is also the fate of every generation of dragon gods—everything about them will merge into the ether, amplify the ether, and complete the ether.

The energy of the ether grows larger with each generation.

The Dragon God's power grows stronger with each generation.

It has been passed down to this day and has long surpassed the first generation of Dragon God.

The Dragon God is now undoubtedly one of the top powerhouses in the entire Evolution Game.

Even within node D05, on his own territory, the Dragon God possesses unparalleled strength.

"The current Dragon God is the 32nd generation."

Fifth Eye explained, "The current Dragon God has foreseen his own death, so the selection of the 33rd Dragon God is about to begin."

At this point, she sighed softly and said, "I left the Zoroastrian Church and rushed back to node D05 just to participate in this selection."

Fifth Pupil's eyes revealed a sense of determination.

Giving up her long lifespan to participate in the selection of the Dragon God... she was prepared.

I just don't know what motivated her to do this.

“Tong, you haven’t completely left the Zoroastrian Church yet…”

Shari comforted her, "Rita said that you can go back anytime you want. Look at your hair color; your contract with the 'Azure Sword' is not over."

"If I succeed in becoming the Dragon God, I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back."

Fifth Eye gently shook his head.

Then, she turned her gaze to Fan Xiao, smiled, and sincerely invited, "Mr. Fan, I wonder if I might have the honor of receiving some help from you in the Dragon God Selection Battle?"

Chapter 786 Fan Xiao: Am I going to become a jinx?

Faced with Fifth Eye's temporary attempt to win him over, Fan Xiao did not immediately give an answer.

He didn't know the details of the Dragon God Selection Battle, and he certainly wouldn't agree to something so casually. After all... the Dragon God sounded quite strong, clearly a god-level player, and a rather powerful one at that.

At this stage, he might not be able to beat... uh, why is he already thinking about the problem based on fighting?

This kind of thinking is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable.

Fan Xiao immediately straightened his mind and inquired about the Dragon God Selection Battle's format and related details from Fifth Eye, quickly receiving an answer.

The selection of the Dragon God before the birth of the final will was too far in the past for Fifth Eye to know much about the details of that history.

After the final will is born, the Dragon God selection mechanism consists of three parts.

The first part is presided over by the ultimate will, which will score each candidate for Dragon God. Only candidates with sufficient scores can participate in the next round of selection.

The next round of selection, or the second part, is a public referendum—all citizens will participate and vote for the candidates. Only those who receive enough votes can advance to the third round.

The third round—the third part—is the Dragon God's final judgment.

The current Dragon God will select one of the remaining candidates to become the new Dragon God, who will be responsible for passing on the Ether, protecting the D05 node, and safeguarding all of humanity.

Generally speaking, the winner can be determined by the second round of the selection process.

It is rare for multiple candidates to participate in the third round at the same time.

"The most difficult part is the first round of selection."

Fifth Eye said, "After the S-level dungeon left behind by the first Dragon God merged with the D05 node, it was initially managed by each successive Dragon God."

"Later, the Dragon God wanted to focus on expanding and perfecting the ether energy. Just then, the Ultimate Will was born, and gradually, the dungeon was taken over and controlled by the Ultimate Will."

"The first round of selection will take place in this instance."

"The questions or dungeon missions for each selection battle may differ, but one thing remains constant—each candidate can bring two players of the same level as them into the arena..."

Through the descriptions in Fifth Eye, Fan Xiao gradually learned the reasons behind the selection mechanism's design.

The candidates for Dragon God are all backed by powerful forces.

For example, behind the Fifth Eye stands a small number of border regimes—autonomous regimes established by border defense forces under the permission of the Pan-Human Federation.

The selection of the Dragon God is, to some extent, also a contest between various forces. The "rule of recruiting allies" can be seen as a kind of feedback to various forces at the mechanism level—yes, a feedback.

Once the new Dragon God is selected, he/she will have the authority to mobilize all resources within the entire node to aid his/her growth.

All factions within node D05 will provide Dragon God with the maximum support they can.

There is always a reward for every effort.

The "rule of recruiting helpers" is one of the rewards.

Fifth Eye said to Fan Xiao, "Mr. Fan, the place where I need your help is in the first round of selection."

"I hope you can accompany me into the instance as my helper and assist me in the first round of selection."

"Regarding the difficulty and danger of the dungeon, you can rest assured. Although the dungeon of the first generation of Dragon God is S-level, after it is merged with the D05 node, its nature becomes similar to the final will. One has broken away from the category of items, and the other has broken away from the category of dungeons. Both have a high degree of autonomy."

"The Dragon God instance is now completely under the control of the ultimate will."

"The candidates for Dragon God are all A-level players, and the helpers they bring in must also be A-level players. Ultimately, the Will will design dungeon missions with corresponding difficulty and danger based on our level."

She paused, then assured them, "In other words, the danger of entering the Dragon God's S-rank instance is guaranteed. With your strength, you don't need to worry about safety at all."

Fifth Eye didn't have much hope that Fan Xiao would agree.

Although she guaranteed that there were safety measures in the dungeon, an S-rank dungeon is still an S-rank dungeon. A person's reputation precedes them, and limited by common sense, which A-rank player would dare to gamble with their life in such a situation?
