91: System upgrade! The dust has settled

The System is upgrading...

After Tang Ziheng chose to search for the fifth world, this prompt appeared in the System.

Tang Ziheng was just about to check out the new world when, in a flash, the System Upgrade Complete message appeared.

"This upgrade speed is incredible!" Tang Ziheng checked what changes this System upgrade brought.

The overall changes were not significant; the main changes were in how worlds are searched.

Secondly, the System thoughtfully improved his "Exchange Platform" a little!

Tang Ziheng can now "activate" this Exchange Platform at any time; it's already a usable function.

Currently, there is only Clarissa as a "successful" worker; the others are not strong enough and need to continue growing and gaining experience. Joining this Exchange Platform too early would not bring much benefit.

After the System upgrade, world searching became more precise.

Level 1 World Search: 100,000-990,000 source points.

Level 2 World Search: 1,000,000-9,990,000 source points.

level 3 World Search: 10,000,000-99,990,000 source points.

Depending on the amount of source points invested, the higher the level of the world searched, the better its "quality" and "potential" within the same level.

Furthermore, for each level of world, Tang Ziheng also has a limited number of "slots."

For example, a level 1 world can only have 3 workers, a level 2 world 2, and a level 3 world 1.

To increase the number of workers in a world, source points must be spent to unlock more slots.

When searching for a world, one can choose to "sign a contract" or not. "Signing a contract" means deploying the System and designating "workers."

If one does not "sign a contract," then this world will be placed in the background as a backup.

One can then "dispose" of this world at will, for instance, by invading it!

That's right! Tang Ziheng only now realized that he can now determine the "goodness" or "evil" of the "System."

In other words, if he wanted to, he could completely become a Main God Space, invading other worlds and directly harvesting source points.

However, the System, for once, offered a suggestion.

The general meaning was to proceed according to the current situation, and to minimize, or ideally avoid, invasive and destructive actions like those of a Main God Space.

Tang Ziheng didn't mind; he felt the current situation was quite good!

The "goodness" or "evil" of the System entirely depended on him.

As someone who grew up under the red flag, he certainly wouldn't choose to do such things.

Although he is not human now, he still considers himself, first and foremost, a person!

Tang Ziheng didn't think too much about this world search feature. The "update announcement" provided by the System was just a rough explanation. Tang Ziheng needed to determine its purpose and usage during actual operation.

Immediately, Tang Ziheng shifted his gaze to the new world. After watching Yi Xin complete his championship battle, he gained some understanding of the world's power and system.

As expected of a level 3 world, and it seemed to be at the pinnacle even among level 3 worlds.

The system and power of this world are very strong; Yi Xin has only shown Tang Ziheng the tip of the iceberg so far.

However, from a "God's eye view," Tang Ziheng perceived the Gui Xu Realm as a whole, and the system and power of this world are incredibly vast!

"Not bad, the development potential is much, much higher than Clarissa's!" Tang Ziheng nodded in satisfaction. However, Clarissa came first; the "childhood sweetheart" cannot lose to the "newcomer"!

Tang Ziheng decided to activate the "Exchange Platform"!

...

Although Clarissa had grown to her current level, she still hadn't given up on practicing basic swordsmanship. If allowed, she would still practice basic swordsmanship and the extended Star Sword Technique for an hour every day. At the same time, this was also to comprehend the Star Sword Intent, and she could also use the power of the stars to temper herself, cooperating with the Radiant Sun Knight Breathing Technique - Star Lament.

Clarissa summarized this entire cultivation system as: Star Body Tempering Sword Technique.

Half a month had passed, and Clarissa had completely settled down.

During this half-month, undercurrents surged in the imperial capital, but she remained like a great mountain in the storm, standing firm and unmoving amidst the swaying winds and rain.

She was like a pure land in chaotic times, unaffected in the slightest.

Especially when... an aggressive aristocratic family forcibly "recruited" Clarissa, giving her two choices: either join them or die. If she joined, she would have wealth and honor, getting whatever she desired! If she didn't join, then they would have to apologize! They feared she might be recruited by their rivals, so it was better to eliminate this hidden danger first.

Then, after Clarissa cut down the three Radiant Sun Knights who came to her door, the entire imperial capital's turmoil seemed to pause for several days.

After that, Clarissa completely became a pure land.

All actions and conspiracies carefully bypassed her.

The title of Black Flame Sword Princess spread wider and wider, bringing a greater deterrent than killing the Berserk Orc!

After all, on the battlefield, there was only the account of Clarissa killing the Berserk Orc, besides those who were present at the time.

Who knew how Clarissa killed him? Or under what circumstances? After all, rumors spread, and a lie repeated often enough becomes truth.

Who knew what the real situation was?

But now, it was different; it happened right before everyone's eyes: one person, one sword, one strike for each.

Three Radiant Sun Knights were directly killed.

Such strength was no less than a Legend!

With no Legend appearing, Clarissa was truly the absolute pinnacle! No one else!

Little did they know, even if a Legend had appeared, they would likely have suffered the same fate.

Unless it was a top-tier Legend, or an even higher-level existence!

Clarissa's strength was already at the very top tier on the continent of Normanya.

"Hoo~" Clarissa slowly concluded her practice. Although she paid no attention to "worldly affairs," she still knew about the external turmoil through her butler's observations.

"It's almost over..." Clarissa murmured softly. Now that she had settled down, her daily sword practice was not only for cultivation but also for cultivating her mind.

After many days of settling, her extremely high talent meant her character also grew rapidly.

Furthermore, she had decided that since she was born here, she should be loyal to it. She was an apostle of a deity, but she was also a person of the Normanya Continent, a person of the Grosster Empire.

According to the hierarchy, Deity > Normanya Continent > Grosster Empire.

Therefore, as long as it didn't harm the interests of the Deity or the Normanya Continent, she naturally leaned towards the Grosster Empire, her country!

Moreover, it was undeniable that if the army hadn't arrived that day, perhaps she would have died, and there would be no System, let alone her current existence.

Today, everything concluded.

In this struggle, the royal family won!

And the winner was not the apparent "radical faction" or "conservative faction."

But the "new faction" - Princess Alice Grosster.

She became the new monarch! The Queen of the Grosster Empire!

Everything will now be rewritten!

This news, when it arrived, surprised Clarissa somewhat.

The Princess, no, now Queen Alice Grosster. Clarissa had heard of her; she was a "middle-ground" type. Not the kind who switches sides easily.

Rather, she was both radical and conservative at the same time.

It sounded a bit contradictory, but that was precisely it.

Upon ascending to power, Queen Alice's first act was to boldly and directly implement reforms!
