Show off your muscles!

The underlying code of the universe is the law of the dark forest, where the weak are prey to the strong and the powerful reign supreme.

The strong dominate everything.

The weak can only take shelter under the wings of the strong.

Chen Ming had already vaguely noticed a change in himself.

Since the end of the last world event, his luck had been unnaturally good.

Everything he did went smoothly; it could even be said that his every wish came true.

Chen Ming was naturally happy to see this change.

After all, for him, it allowed his strength to increase even faster.

As for the consequences?

As the saying goes, all the gifts of fate come with a hidden price.

Chen Ming chuckled, "Price or no price, as long as I am strong enough, I will shatter any consequence or cost with a single arrow."

...

At the same time.

After a long meeting and discussion.

The high-level executives of the Dragon Soul Guild quickly made a decision—to join forces with Calamity to build a main city.

For them, this was a rare and precious opportunity.

As long as the main city was successfully built.

It would be the first main city of the Blue Star Civilization.

When that time came, Dragon Soul's overall strength would be greatly enhanced.

Not only that, but they could also take this opportunity to tie themselves closely to Calamity, forming an alliance of interests.

As the saying goes, there are no permanent friends, only Eternal interests.

Once the main city was completed, the Dragon Soul Guild and Calamity would become the firmest of allies.

With such a temptation, the high-level executives of the Dragon Soul Guild naturally wouldn't refuse.

Of course, this matter also carried significant risks.

First, building a main city required a massive amount of manpower and resources. Once they joined forces with Calamity, the Dragon Soul Guild's development might enter a period of stagnation for a long time.

Second, the construction task trial—whether it could be completed instantly. If it failed, all previous investments would go down the drain.

Third, whether they could hold the city after its successful construction. One had to know that Eternal had trillions of players, countless civilized races, and intricate major powers.

A newly built main city without top-tier powerhouses to guard it.

To any power, it would be a prize target that everyone would want a bite of.

"Although there are risks, for our Dragon Soul, this is a rare opportunity."

"If we succeed, it won't be long before Dragon Soul leaps to become a top-tier guild, and all Blue Star Civilization players will have a place to call home."

"If we fail, Dragon Soul could very well be destroyed overnight."

[Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

As the person in charge of Huaxia before the arrival of Eternal, [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] had always been a man of great courage and decisiveness.

While his combat talent might be average, his leadership skills and vision were top-notch.

He believed he hadn't misjudged Calamity.

As long as Calamity was there, bringing with him the opportunity to build a main city, success was highly likely.

Just as [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] was thinking this, he heard [Dragon Soul - Tie Bu Shan] beside him point to a cave not far away and say, "According to the coordinates sent by Brother Calamity, his base should be right ahead."

While speaking, the high-level members of Dragon Soul walked toward the cave.

However, just as they entered the cave.

The high-level members of Dragon Soul were all stunned in place.

What met their eyes was a dense, swarming Zerg Army.

"What... the hell is this?"

Everyone was terrified by this sight.

Even [Dragon Soul - Sword God], as one of Dragon Soul's top combatants, couldn't help but swallow hard.

The number of the Zerg Army before them was simply too massive.

It was so dense that one couldn't see the end of it.

Moreover, the attributes of this Zerg Army were ridiculously strong; the stats of each one were comparable to powerful players of the same rank, and some could even rival high-level bosses!

"Cover the Dragon Lord's retreat first!"

[Dragon Soul - Sword God] let out a low growl, standing at the very front with his greatsword in hand.

The rest of the Dragon Soul high-level members were also bewildered.

Such a terrifying Zerg Army could easily keep all of them here forever.

Although they still had revival chances and could respawn after dying.

If they were truly wiped out here, the guild's morale would surely take a massive hit.

"This couldn't be a trap set for us by Calamity, could it?"

"Why would he do this? What benefit would he get from it?"

In the moment of crisis, someone spoke up instinctively.

After all, these coordinates were sent to them by Calamity.

However, what puzzled everyone was why Calamity would do this? What would he gain?

However, their doubts were soon cleared.

Because the dense, nearly endless Zerg Army did not attack them; they even ignored them completely, going about their own business.

Then, a dragon's roar rang out.

Everyone instinctively looked back.

A frost dragon, its entire body a deep blue, suddenly descended from the sky.

The terrifying Dragon Might made everyone tremble, and any words they might have said were stuck in their throats.

"A dragon..."

Just then, a figure jumped down from the back of the Ice Abyss Dragon.

It was a young man in his early twenties, wearing Silver-white Armor and carrying a Blood-red Longbow on his back. Beneath his neat, short hair was a handsome face.

Although he wasn't breathtakingly handsome, he was very pleasant to look at—the type that grew on you the more you saw him.

A mysterious aura emanated from this young man.

With just a glance, one couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

The young man was none other than Chen Ming.

"You've arrived!"

Chen Ming greeted them casually.

He then turned and walked into the cave, with the Ice Abyss Dragon following close behind.

As Chen Ming entered the cave, what happened next shocked everyone.

The dense Zerg Army automatically parted, revealing a path leading deep into the cave, and then they prostrated themselves respectfully on the ground.

It was like thousands of subjects welcoming their emperor's return.

This scene was far too shocking.

The members of Dragon Soul all instinctively froze in place, falling into a daze.

It wasn't until Chen Ming spoke to urge them that they snapped back to their senses.

"Everyone, I invited you here to discuss building the main city, not to stand here in a daze."

As he spoke, Chen Ming quickly led the Dragon Soul members deep into the insect nest.

"I know you have many questions. You may ask them now."

Chen Ming sat in the head seat, fingers interlaced, and spoke calmly to everyone.

The high-level members of Dragon Soul looked at each other, clearly still reeling from the shock.

After a good while, [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord], leading the group, took a deep breath and asked, "Brother Calamity, I'm very curious—what is your relationship with that Zerg Army just now?"

Without a doubt, the strength of that Zerg Army was extremely formidable.

It could even rival some large-scale guilds.

"As you can see, they are all my most loyal servants, and they will also serve as the Guardian Army for the main city I build in the future."

Chen Ming had no intention of hiding anything and spoke quite openly.

Of course, there was another reason for his straightforward answer: to 'flex his muscles' to the Dragon Soul Guild.
