A beast tide is coming!
As Daenerys’s funds arrived, blocks of Eternal Stone were produced from the Eternal Forge.
This was followed by intense construction.
Led by 300 million Demon Engineer Bugs, supported by the rest of the Zerg Army, and joined by elite members of the Dragon Soul Guild.
With such a massive workforce, in just a day and a half, the prototype of a main city rose from the ground.
The entire main city was milky white, with walls over ten thousand feet high, appearing magnificent. From a distance, it resembled an ancient fierce beast, prostrate on the earth.
Beneath the main city lay a sprawling, interconnected Zerg Lair.
Compared to the main city, the Zerg Lair occupied a much more terrifying area, almost covering the entire internal region of the Wuyuan Mountain Range.
Through the Zerg Lair, the Zerg Army could reach any part of the Wuyuan Mountain Range's internal region in a short amount of time.
Chen Ming stood atop the main city wall, looking back at the nascent main city, a smile unfurling at the corner of his mouth.
"Next, I just need to repel the beast tide to gain main city authority."
Murmuring softly, Chen Ming turned his gaze to the quest panel.
[Time remaining until beast tide descends: 14 hours, 28 minutes, 16 seconds.]
In fourteen hours, the beast tide, with its ten-fold difficulty increase, would descend.
Chen Ming turned his gaze back to the Zerg Lair.
After two days of development, the Zerg Army's numbers had expanded again, reaching an astonishing 1.2 billion.
Not only that, the number of boss armies from the Authority of the God of Ten Thousand Beasts 30% had also reached an astonishing 360,000.
"Ten-fold difficulty beast tide?"
"I'm waiting for it!!"
Just as Chen Ming was murmuring softly, a figure walked up beside him.
It was none other than the Dragon Soul Guild's Guild Master, Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord.
Behind him followed the Dragon Soul Guild's strongest member, Dragon Soul - Sword God.
"How is it, Brother Calamity, what are the chances for tomorrow's beast tide?"
Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord hesitated for a moment before asking.
After reaching cooperation with Chen Ming, he had specifically searched for information about building a main city.
It was fine not to look.
But once he looked, his heart immediately sank by half.
According to the information he found, building a main city was extremely difficult.
It not only required a vast amount of manpower and resources.
It also necessitated facing extremely difficult city-building quests.
The city-building quest was divided into three stages, each incredibly difficult, requiring various trials.
If any stage of the quest failed, all prior investment in building the main city would be for naught.
In the history of Eternal, countless civilizations, races, and guild forces had attempted to build main cities.
Yet, to this day, all existing main cities in Eternal combined only numbered 327,500.
This number seemed large. But considering Eternal's massive player base and long history, this number was absolutely pitifully small.
From this point alone, one could see how difficult it was to build a main city.
Not only that, from the collected guides for city-building quests.
To 100% successfully build a main city, in addition to vast resources, at least thirty or more Tier 9 players were required to oversee it.
Otherwise, even the first stage of the city-building quest, [Beast Tide Approaches], would be difficult to pass.
While Chen Ming's displayed strength and his Zerg Army were formidable,
honestly, Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord wasn't too optimistic about Chen Ming's current city-building quest.
Therefore, he didn't blindly bring all Dragon Soul Guild members but only a portion of the elites.
Otherwise, if the city-building quest failed, the Dragon Soul Guild's losses would be exceptionally severe.
"What do you want to say?" Chen Ming looked back at Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord.
"I mean, if you're not absolutely confident, there's no need to rush building the main city."
"Otherwise, if it fails, the consequences will be too severe."
Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord took a deep breath and voiced his thoughts.
Chen Ming glanced at him: "You think I'll fail?"
"It's not that I think so, but there's a high probability of failure..."
Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord said, bracing himself.
However, before he could finish speaking, a spatial gate suddenly opened before his eyes.
Immediately after, dense swarms of monsters emerged from these spatial gates, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
These monsters were all bosses without exception, and all were above Level 70.
And at the very front were two god-tier bosses.
"This... how is this possible!!"
Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord was completely stunned, standing frozen in place, his eyes filled with confusion.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What did I just see?
Hundreds of thousands of Level 70+ bosses, including many high-tier bosses and even two god-tier bosses... He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, feeling as if he were dreaming.
Dragon Soul - Sword God, who was behind him, was also dumbfounded.
"So, do you now think I have absolute confidence in passing this city-building quest?"
"Oh, right,"
Chen Ming left with that remark, turning and departing.
A moment later, Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord and Dragon Soul - Sword God, having recovered, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
"I can feel that compared to our last meeting, Zai E's strength has improved significantly again."
"A monster, a legion entirely composed of bosses..."
"Truly, every time we meet Zai E, he always brings us a bit of shock."
...Time slowly passed, and soon it was early morning the next day.
The morning light pierced through the darkness, scattering across the earth through the clouds, as if adorning the entire Wuyuan Mountain Range with a golden veil.
However, within this beautiful scene, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression, like the calm before a storm.
On the ten-thousand-foot city wall, entirely crafted from Eternal Stone, Chen Ming gazed forward with an indifferent expression.
[Time remaining until beast tide descends: 10 seconds.]
[9...]
[8...]
The crimson countdown flashed before his eyes, and ten seconds quickly passed.
As the countdown ended, a crimson prompt popped up before Chen Ming's eyes.
[Beast Tide has descended.]
[Hint 1: The main city core has descended. You can specify the exact coordinates for the main city core's descent.]
[Hint 2: The main city core will take one hour to successfully integrate. During this hour, if the main city core is destroyed, this city-building quest will be declared a failure.]
As the prompt sound faded, a crystal tower descended from the sky, landing within the Zerg Lair.
[main city core]
[Level: 1]
[Health: 10e/10e points.]
[Physical Defense: 100,000 points.]
[Physical Defense: 100,000 points.]
[Upgrade Requirements: ????.]
[Hint: The main city core has successfully descended and has begun merging with the building [Zerg Lair]. This merger will take: 1 hour.]
[Hint: During the merger process, the main city core's durability and defense will drop to 10 points.]
The moment the main city core landed.
"Boom, boom!!"
The earth trembled violently.
The next moment, a grand spatial gate slowly appeared in front...
