68: Chapter 67 Individual × Faction Sequence Battle!
Hundreds and thousands of provocations, challenges, and doubts from experts of foreign civilizations were like rows of cold arrows, instantly piercing through the originally harmonious and Versailles-like atmosphere of the Symphony Realm.
The Yanhuang Camp instantly exploded!
Who is the Fate Master? He is a god-like existence who saved countless Yanhuang Civilization compatriots and single-handedly created the Yanhuang Civilization hegemony! He is the absolute faith in the hearts of all Yanhuang Civilization survivors!
To be so belittled and provoked by this group of people from foreign civilizations, who could endure this?!
"Bullshit! Jackson, what are you? You think you're worthy of challenging the Fate Master?!"
"You're killing me with laughter. Fritz, the total merit points of your Teutonic Faction don't even amount to a fraction of our Fate Master's, yet how dare you call yourselves experts and want to challenge the top of the leaderboard? Do you know what 25 billion merit points mean? The Fate Master could drown you with a single spit! The Fate Master once split a sea with one palm; can you do that?"
"Amit, you and those disgusting gods of yours from the Tianzhu civilization have the nerve to bring that up here! Tianzhu is almost wiped out, and you still have the face to bark here? The Fate Master was merciful and gave you a glimmer of hope, and you don't even know how to be grateful? Yet you shamelessly say the Fate Platform belongs to you? Get out of the Fate Platform!"
Ordinary Yanhuang Civilization survivors fought back angrily, while the top experts of the Yanhuang Camp entered the fray directly.
In the Deep Sea Hunter Alliance post section, the Alliance Leader "Iron Fish" released a pinned post—
"Warriors of foreign civilizations, the Fate Master does not need to step in personally. You want to fight? Fine. Members of this Alliance who have hunted over four hundred sea beasts are ready at any time. Just report your coordinates. Oh, I forgot, you don't even have positioning, so where did you get the guts to provoke the Fate Master!!!"
Immediately after, the Little Life Society.
Zhao Zheng's ID appeared in the Symphony Realm. Concise and to the point.
"The Armed Department of the Little Life Society, acting on behalf of the President, declares: The strength of the Lord of the Fate Altar does not need to be proven to anyone. But if anyone insists on provoking—my department has thirty-seven combat squads, one thousand two hundred armed combatants, and all non-combatant survivors under our command. We are ready to teach you a lesson at any time."
Then came the Revival Society.
This time, it wasn't Zheng Yuanshan speaking, but Director Sun Zheng, the Director of the Department of Defense and Security.
"The Revival Society's Department of Defense and Security solemnly declares—any public provocation against the core symbol of the Yanhuang Civilization will be regarded by the Revival Society as an act of disrespect toward all survivors of the Yanhuang Camp. We reserve the right to take all necessary measures and implement unreserved strikes!"
The wording was cold and hard, carrying a hint of official authority.
After the official organizations made their statements, the Yanhuang Civilization barrage in the Symphony Realm reached a frenzy.
Major organizations and civilian experts requested to fight one after another. The entire Yanhuang Camp shared a common hatred for the enemy, with a fanatical Aura of "The Fate Master doesn't need to make a move; we can beat the shit out of you ourselves."
The eleventh and twelfth days.
This mutual defiance among powerful survivors from different civilizations continued. Of course, it was only mutual defiance and verbal provocations on the Fate Platform.
After all, many of the powerful survivors from foreign civilizations who spoke up first had pointed it out. The basis for a challenge needed to be established on the Revival Society's willingness to use that Gold-tier Wonder, the assembly order. Without the assembly order, in the vast Magic Sea, no one could find anyone, let alone have a PK in person.
Survivors from foreign civilizations could only post once every three days, and the vast majority of ordinary survivors, fearing that they might be kicked out of the Fate Platform if they spoke carelessly, remained calm and did not participate in this dispute.
However, there were still a large number of civilization nationalists and powerful survivors from foreign civilizations who refused to accept the Yanhuang Camp, led by those top-ranked experts, who constantly provoked the Yanhuang Civilization survivors. This once caused the rhetoric of closing the visitor system and expelling the foreign barbarians to become rampant.
Fortunately, the vast majority of ordinary foreign civilization survivors behaved more friendly, politely, and even a bit humbly. They were not like those powerful survivors who had opened good sunken sea treasure chests and had the ability to survive independently even if they left the Fate Platform.
In just these few days of staying on the Fate Platform, they felt the radiance of the modern civilization that had long since drifted away. Tears in their eyes were the true portrayal of most ordinary survivors who used the Fate Platform, could communicate with others, and were freed from loneliness. Therefore, they were ten thousand times unwilling to leave the Fate Platform. This was the fundamental reason why most survivors of the Yanhuang Civilization remained calm and did not vent their anger on most foreign civilization survivors. The Yanhuang Civilization survivors had such high quality, and they were such good people.
Conversely, unlike these ordinary survivors struggling on the survival line, those foreign civilization survivors who were threatened with being kicked out of the Fate Platform were not afraid at all. First, they did believe this Fate Platform was useful to them, but it was not essential. Especially with the permission to only post a crappy post every three days and view those low-level help posts and survival posts that only weaklings needed, it was truly optional. They had long passed the time of having survival crises; without the Fate Platform, life would be a bit harder at most, but they would rather suffer a bit than let the Yanhuang Civilization be arrogant in front of them.
Secondly, through their observations on the Cause and Effect Fate Platform over these few days, they found that the personal strength of Yanhuang Civilization survivors was generally mediocre. Many foreign civilization survivors with some strength believed that, except for those few off-the-charts survivors who were piled up with collective resources by powerful organizations on the Fate Platform, they felt they could crush most of the other side one-on-one. They looked down on Yanhuang Civilization survivors, believing they were all babies who had not experienced wind and rain under the protection of the Cause and Effect Fate Platform, were lucky, and were nothing without the Fate Platform.
Finally, and most importantly, they seriously doubted that the Fate Platform was the property of that mysterious top-ranked Yang Hang. How could such a Divine Artifact belong to an individual survivor? Then what would be the point of this civilization hegemony and Magic Sea survival? They might as well just announce the Yanhuang Civilization as the winner. How could the Fate Platform invite them, foreign civilizations, to stay and find enemies for itself? The final conclusion was that the Yanhuang Civilization was just a bunch of lucky people.
This was the fundamental confidence they had to argue with Yanhuang Civilization survivors and not give an inch, although they couldn't use profanity. It was mostly sarcasm like "Yanhuang Civilization's weakness," "Yanhuang Civilization's products of a greenhouse, not real warriors," "Fate Master Yang Hang is just a coward," "The Fate Platform is not Yanhuang Civilization's, otherwise why invite them here"...
The Yanhuang Civilization was so long-standing and had such deep foundations that they naturally refuted and countered from various angles, their Aura not losing at all and even holding the upper hand. But people who were stubborn and set in their ways, even if they couldn't win the argument, would still keep repeating the dead logic they believed in.
This intermittent quarreling lasted until 12:00 noon on the twelfth day. With the announcement of the leaderboard and treasure chests, a colder, more grand, and irresistible announcement suddenly exploded in everyone's consciousness.
Magic Sea official announcement! [Magic Sea Announcement: The second large-scale beast tide is coming!]
[1. Beast tide duration: From 00:00 tonight to 12:00 tomorrow, lasting twelve hours.]
[2. Beast tide intensity: This time, a large number of Intermediate and above mutated sea beasts will appear. In regional areas with higher merit points, there is a possibility of re-spawning ultra-high-tier overlord creatures. All survivors, please prepare for battle and survival.]
[3. Special rules: This beast tide will lock the coordinates of all survivors. It is impossible to escape through conventional sailing methods, and the sea beasts will continue to pursue.]
As soon as these three pieces of information came out, it was like a basin of absolute zero ice water, instantly extinguishing the restlessness and fanaticism in everyone's hearts. Twelve hours! Cannot escape! Ultra-high-tier overlord creatures! This was not a test; this was a massacre!
But the announcement did not end. The following text made all four billion-plus survivors on Earth Star hold their breath. A separate announcement marked in red [Separate Announcement: 1. Personal Sequence Battle preview! After the beast tide ends, the "Personal Sequence Battle" will be launched simultaneously. All survivors can participate, engaging in battles in a single-player format, with the winner gaining 1 point. Settlement occurs every three leaderboard days, and the top ten on the leaderboard can receive corresponding rewards granted by the Magic Sea authorities (including but not limited to treasure chest quality improvement, lifespan leap, talent advancement, etc.).]
[2. The first round of the Camp Sequence Battle begins! This competition includes various team battle formats such as 5v5, 10v10, 50v50, 100v100, and the final ten-thousand-person grand team battle. Team formation is free; all survivors can send team invitations to survivors of the same camp on the personal sequence leaderboard, and then match for battles. Each small match lasts for six days, with no limit on the number of matches. Settlement is based on the team ranking of the highest winning matches of one's own camp, determining the points each camp can obtain, ranging from 231 points to 0 points. At the settlement on the thirtieth day, the camp with the highest total points can forcibly exchange all merit points and resource talents with lower-ranked camps.][Wishing you all, good fortune in martial arts.]
Dead silence. The entire Cause and Effect Fate Platform, whether it was the Yanhuang Civilization public forum or the foreign civilization's Symphony Realm, fell into an absolute dead silence that lasted for a minute at this moment.
Camp Sequence Battle... forcibly exchange all resources and talents?! What does this mean? This means that if the Yanhuang Camp remains in first place after thirty days, that would be fine. Conversely, if Yanhuang Civilization falls from the pedestal, everything they are proud of now—the luxurious Houseboat, the Cause and Effect Fate Platform, powerful talents—will all become someone else's wedding dress! This is a true zero-sum game. This is naked civilization devouring!
The Yanhuang Camp side fell silent. But the foreign civilizations boiled over! Those ordinary foreign civilization survivors originally felt that since there was no hope for civilization hegemony, they planned to temporarily devote themselves to being a dog for Yanhuang Civilization, with survival as the main core demand. As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that their own civilization camp actually had a chance to counterattack, and their hearts began to stir.
Let's not talk about the Personal Sequence Battle yet. If their own civilization camp defeats the Yanhuang Civilization in the Camp Sequence Battle thirty days later, wouldn't all the resources, talents, and even the Cause and Effect Fate Platform they coveted most, which Yanhuang Civilization currently possesses, really become their own? Would the positions with Yanhuang Civilization be swapped?
These ordinary foreign civilization survivors could naturally understand what the strong in their camp could understand. They were just weaker in brute force, not in intelligence, perhaps even stronger. After observing these days, they also had a judgment in their hearts. The overall personal strength displayed by Yanhuang Civilization survivors was generally weaker than theirs. This was derived from their comparison of the performance of survivors at the same level with themselves.
They judged that the reason might be related to the existence of the Cause and Effect Fate Platform. And this Camp Sequence Battle actually used the highest ranking of the camp's participating teams to divide points, not relying on the accumulation of matches. Simply put, it took the ranking of the team with the highest number of wins in that camp as the total camp ranking.
For example, the first place is a Yanhuang Camp team with one hundred wins. The second, third, and fourth places are all Star-Spangled Banner Camp teams, with ninety, eighty, and seventy respectively. Then even if the sum of the wins of the three Star-Spangled Banner Camp teams is far higher than the Yanhuang Civilization team. But Yanhuang Civilization is still the first place, and the Star-Spangled Banner Camp is second. Dividing points, it is 231 points for Yanhuang Civilization, 230 points for the Star-Spangled Banner Camp. The reverse is also true. The Star-Spangled Banner Camp has only one team occupying the first place, and Yanhuang Civilization occupies the second, third, and fourth. The sum of the three Yanhuang Civilization teams' wins is higher than the Star-Spangled Banner Camp team, but the first place is still the Star-Spangled Banner Camp. Dividing 231 points, Yanhuang Civilization can only get 230. It only looks at the highest one.
This means that in this competition where they cannot gather the entire collective strength and can only rely on countless small group confrontations to obtain the highest camp ranking, the Yanhuang Civilization's greatest advantage in numbers and collective strength was compressed to the extreme. They have a chance of winning!!!
At this moment, even the death threat of the upcoming Magic Sea Beast Tide was somewhat ignored and forgotten by the greed surging in their hearts. Just before they could stir, a Fate Platform notification extinguished the restlessness in their hearts, and instantly they felt a chill spreading from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet.
[Notification: Recently, 3,201,198 individuals who made comments maliciously slandering visitors have been deprived of their Fate Platform usage qualifications and kicked out of the Fate Platform.]
At the same time, those powerful foreign civilization experts who couldn't wait to post provocations and battle declarations on the Fate Platform... that is, the subjects of this notification, when they tried to open the Fate Platform, also received a notification. [Sorry, after evaluation by the Cause and Effect Fate Platform authorities, you do not meet the standards for Fate Platform users and have been kicked out.]
