161: The First Stage of the National War: The Battle for Hegemony
National War Quest has officially begun.
National War Phase 1: Heroes Rise, Nations Contend.
Quest Synopsis: Heroes rose, nations contended, and after years of chaos, Meteor took the lead and established its hegemony; however, the nations allied to jointly attack Meteor, and due to a single misstep, Meteor fell. At a time of crisis for humanity, the National War was initiated to decide fate. The unifier, who gathers the luck of humanity, can attack gods and demons.
Note: Please, everyone, die for your country.
Note: The world is sealed for one year, cutting off the paths of both the divine and demon races.
The Nations Contend Quest has been updated.
Phase 1 Quest: Accumulate National Luck.
Quest Description: Humans will be teleported to a mysterious space. In this mysterious space, World Bosses will be refreshed from time to time. Killing World Bosses can grant powerful National Luck and very generous rewards.
Note: World Boss kills are not recorded based on the final blow. Instead, they are based on damage dealt. The nation with higher damage will obtain the luck carried by the Boss.
Note: Altars will appear in the mysterious space. Players can revive infinitely and can kill each other without any equipment drops.
The quest officially begins.
As the cold voice slowly faded, everyone's figures vanished from the city, reappearing on a vast, boundless continent.
Dense crowds stretched as far as the eye could see. Behind them, on the main position, stood a sky-obscuring banner, emblazoned with the words "Meteor Empire."
“This is too outrageous, a World Boss. What use are we even if we go?”
“Yeah, I feel like we’re just here to make up the numbers, completely useless.”
“Damn it, this is suicidal!”
“This game thinks highly of me. I’m only at Six Revolutions right now. Even a full-power attack probably won’t break that World Boss’s defense.”
Everyone looked up at the sky and sighed.
They were still just small fries, with no room to retaliate against a World Boss.
World Boss, it seems this National War is no small matter!
At the same time, terrifying figures descended before everyone, their auras exceptionally wild.
“You’ve all returned?”
The Emperor Yuxing stepped forward, looking at the people beside him, taking a deep breath, and speaking softly.
Over 40 Nine Revolutions experts, an absolutely suffocating presence.
In terms of Nine Revolutions experts, the Meteor Empire undoubtedly had the most.
It was just a pity that their nation had no divine envoys, so they had to send more Nine Revolutions experts to suppress the Demon Abyss in the deep void.
“The Demon Abyss is closed, so we returned.”
Hearing this, the leading expert nodded and spoke softly.
“Good, good, good. This is a great thing. With dozens of you assisting us, our chances of victory have increased by several points.”
Seeing the people before him, the Meteor Emperor's face showed a faint smile as he spoke softly.
A large portion of the experts turned and walked towards their families. They had spent most of their time guarding the Demon Abyss and had been unable to live with their families for a long time.
“Your Majesty, why haven’t I seen anyone from the Zhao family?”
One of the guardians looked at his Majesty, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“The Zhao family, the Zhao family…”
The Meteor Emperor's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
“Your Majesty, has something happened to my Zhao family?”
The old man's eyes showed a hint of solemnity as he quickly asked.
No matter what, that was the family he had personally founded.
“Nothing happened, but the Zhao family rebelled against the entire empire. They joined the White Bear Empire.”
Hearing this, the Meteor Emperor's face showed a hint of embarrassment, finding it difficult to speak.
Mainly, Old Man Zhao had guarded the starry sky for decades without returning home. He had certainly endured hardships, if not achieved merits.
But his grandsons were truly unfilial; they directly caused trouble for the Old Man, even defecting to an enemy nation.
How could such actions make this old man feel?
“Is this true?”
“Emperor, you can’t joke about such things. My Zhao family are all men of integrity and passion. How could they betray us?”
Old Man Zhao's eyes showed an expression of disbelief upon hearing this.
“Hmm!”
The Meteor Emperor nodded, a hint of helplessness on his face.
The old man was so angry that his nose almost twisted when he heard the Meteor Emperor. He wished he could tear those scoundrels into pieces.
Those bastards, I'm fighting for my life out here, and you dare to stab me in the back? You're simply courting death.
“Old Zhao, how could His Majesty lie to you? All your family members have defected.”
Jiang Lin stepped out, nodded, and quickly explained.
Defection, traitors, abandoning their nation!
These words constantly filled Old Man Zhao’s mind, making him so angry that he spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He thought of himself, dedicating his life to the entire Meteor Empire, only to be betrayed by his descendants. How pathetic!
“These bastards are truly shameless.”
“Everyone present, listen to my order: if you encounter anyone from the Zhao family in this space, kill them on the spot. You don’t need to show me face, nor do you need to explain anything to them.”
The Old Man's voice, like rolling thunder, resonated throughout the entire area.
“Old Man, your righteousness is admirable.”
“It has to be you, Old Man. If you were in charge of the Zhao family, they definitely wouldn't have defected.”
“Sir, your righteousness is great.”
“Old Man, rest assured, we will show no mercy to traitors.”
Everyone cupped their hands towards the Old Man, their eyes showing a hint of respect.
“All experts above Eight Revolutions, step forward.”
“This time, in the siege of the World Boss, I hope everyone will give their all.”
The Meteor Emperor cupped his hands towards the many high-level experts and spoke softly.
“Rest assured, Your Majesty, this first place will surely belong to our Meteor Empire.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded and spoke.
“It’s finally begun. Everyone, form up with me to face the enemy.”
The White Bear Empire’s monarch snorted coldly, his eyes showing a hint of determination.
Over 20 Nine Revolutions experts stepped forward. From the man’s body, an intense chill emanated, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
...
...
World Boss has refreshed.
Just then, a huge map appeared in everyone’s view, showing the World Boss’s location.
They could see their own position on the map.
“Advance!”
The Meteor Emperor waved his hand, and incredibly terrifying warships appeared behind everyone, emanating an extremely strong aura.
Everyone boarded the warships and sped towards the central area.
