94: Chapter 93 Will the Fate Master participate?

It was even more intense than when they had discussed the Fate Master's invisibility just a short while ago.

The real-time online user counts for the Human Intelligence Realm, Symphony Realm, and Help Realm sections of the public forum all breached their peak limits within ninety seconds, causing a momentary congestion of the information flow in the World Echo channel of the Echo Passage.

Regardless of what they were doing or discussing at the moment, everyone on the Fate Platform shifted their focus to this post: "Revival Red Federation — An Open Letter to All Yanhuang Civilization Survivors."

The number of comments scrolled by at a rate of millions per second.

Three minutes — broke ten million.

Ten minutes — broke one hundred million.

Half an hour later, this post became the single post with the highest interaction volume since the establishment of the Cause and Effect Fate Platform.

"Holy f*ck, holy f*ck, holy f*ck! What's going on? Did all the major organizations agree on this together?"

"assembly order, assembly order! Is the Revival Society going to use the assembly order to summon everyone for this Faction Sequence Battle?"

"Brothers, this is the otherworld version of the Martial Forest Tournament! No, wait, it should be called the Heroes' Assembly! Ho ho ho ho ho! My blood pressure is through the roof!"

"The Revival Society is still the Revival Society. While we are still counting our loot and feeling all sad and sentimental, the Revival Society has already started making diligent preparations for the upcoming Faction Sequence Battle."

"Let's analyze the rules calmly. The Faction Sequence Battle only looks at the ranking of the squad with the highest number of wins. That means we only need one absolutely strong team. The Revival Society played this move beautifully — concentrate superior forces and make a Breakthrough at the key point."

"This brother's analysis is spot on. But let me add one point: from 5v5, 10v10, all the way to ten-thousand-person group battles, we have to fight in every scale. Just one strong team isn't enough; at least every tier needs a team capable of fighting. However, powerful individuals can participate repeatedly; the Fate Platform doesn't forbid that."

"That's why we need to gather a thousand people! One thousand powerhouses; we can pick the strongest. The strongest five participate in the first round, then we count to the tenth person for the second round, and so on. These one thousand powerhouses are the core for the final ten-thousand-person battle."

"And think about it, we have the magic sea compass, the Numerical Panel, and the three-colored life spring. How are survivors from other civilizations supposed to fight? With their heads? With their toes?"

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Other civilizations don't even have our basic configuration. Isn't this just a pure dimensional reduction strike?"

Optimism spread like a contagion.

But there were also clear-headed voices.

"Wait a minute, everyone. What is the battlefield for the Sequence Battle like? The announcement didn't say. If we are teleported to a special space for the confrontation, is it possible… that we won't be able to use the Fate Platform's functions?"

After this comment was posted, it was quiet for a few seconds below.

Then it was flooded by a large wave of replies.

"That shouldn't be very likely. Although the Fate Platform was established by the Fate Master, isn't it also a creation of the Magic Sea? It's impossible for it to specifically target us, right?"

"Exactly. If the Magic Sea really targeted the Fate Platform, that would only prove the Fate Master's power. We're set!"

"Don't scare yourselves. Just prepare for battle with peace of mind."

The ID that raised the question did not reply again.

The comment section became lively again.

A large number of survivors who had rankings on the merit ranking began to appear in high profile.

"Rank 917 on the merit ranking, Silver Grade talent [Grasp of Thunder], officially signing up! If Yanhuang Civilization needs me, I'll step up!" The attached image was a screenshot of their Personal Information Panel, with the talent slot glowing a blinding arc blue.

"Rank 603, holder of the [Rock Armor] talent. I just checked in with Vice President Zhao Zheng of the Little Life Society, and he thinks I'm very suitable for the front-line tank position in group battles. I think it's doable."

"Rank 2,900… Although my ranking is low, my talent is [Visual Field Expansion Kit], a scout type! It's definitely useful in group battles of ten people or more! Begging the Revival Society to give me a chance!"

Under every appearance post were hundreds to thousands of comments, some analyzing their combat power, some fawning over them, and others nitpicking.

"I've seen the livestream of this Grasp of Thunder; it's truly fierce. With one punch, all sea beasts within a three-meter radius are paralyzed."

"Brother Rock Armor is solid; you are the shield of the Yanhuang Camp!"

"Rank 2,900… Brother, your ranking is a bit precarious. With one thousand spots, you need to push forward a bit."

The atmosphere of the entire Fate Platform forum was very much like a fan forum before a major sporting event before the Transmigration — passionate, excited, and full of desire for victory.

Countless ordinary survivors were frantically spamming the comment section.

"If only I could go too! I don't ask to fight; I just want to see with my own eyes what the Renaissance and the Revival Society base with hundreds of thousands of people look like! Have they already restored modern civilization? Is there electricity?"

"If I went and took a photo to post on the Fate Platform, how glorious would that be! My grandson will look at my post in the future — 'Grandpa was someone who participated in the Yanhuang Top 1000 Conference back in the day!'"

"You're dreaming. Your merit ranking is 800,000; you wouldn't even be qualified to serve tea and water if you went."

"I'd be willing to serve tea and water too!!!"

Lively as it was, wherever there are people, there is noise.

When the comment section was flipped to the third page, a few glaring posts popped up.

"To say something unpleasant, this move by the Revival Society is ostensibly for the Sequence Battle, but what about in reality? Gathering the thousand strongest people of Yanhuang Civilization all onto their own ship—isn't this just taking the opportunity to co-opt them?"

"Agreed with the above. One thousand powerhouses go to the Renaissance, eat the Revival Society's food, use their equipment, and listen to their commands. When the Sequence Battle ends and they return, who do you think these people will listen to?"

"Zheng Yuanshan, a retired soldier from before the Transmigration, by what right does he style himself as the official authority of the Yanhuang Civilization survivor camp? Who appointed him as the No. 2 Chief? He appointed himself. The No. 1 Chief position is empty, waiting for whom? Waiting for him to sit in it himself?"

"The four words 'illegitimate claim to power,' those who understand, understand. Where was the true core before the Transmigration? Those people are the legitimate Bloodline. A marginalized retired old man, and he dares to command the world just by relying on a Gold Tier wonder?"

"The most disgusting thing is the organizations following up and echoing in the comments below, like the Iron Anchor Workshop, the Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce, the Deep Sea Hunter Alliance—it's obvious they colluded in advance. This is a joint monopoly on the resources of Yanhuang Civilization survivors!"

There were even more outrageous ones.

"Who can guarantee that the Revival Society won't round them all up after gathering these one thousand people? Seizing their resources and talents to bolster their own direct-line troops?"

The moment this was posted, it was roasted into a sieve below.

"Was your brain chewed on by a sea beast? The Fate Platform rules are written clearly — survivors of the same camp who harm each other will be marked with a red name, and killing those with red names grants extra merit. If the Revival Society dared to make a move, all 1.3 billion+ people of Yanhuang Civilization would chase them down to kill them, and the merit points would be off the charts."

"Exactly, one rule hammered your conspiracy theory to death, and you're still making things up here?"

The "round them all up" theory was instantly silenced.

But those few posts questioning the Revival Society's "illegitimate claim to power" and "taking the opportunity to co-opt" were not so easily suppressed.

Because these posts didn't violate rules or spread rumors; they were just "analyzing motives" — this kind of specious stuff is the hardest to refute.

But the Revival Society's supporters didn't need logical refutation at all.

They directly threw videos.

The link to that video, "Renaissance, The Last Shot," was densely smashed under every questioning post.

"Watch this before you speak."

"Did you see the Overlimit Mode? Tearing apart their own ship to use as a cannonball, just to protect the hundreds of thousands of people behind them. You call this having ulterior motives?"

"Have you seen General Zheng's merit points? Second place on the merit ranking! Over 21 million merit points! You say he has an illegitimate claim to power? What are your merit points? Show them!"

"To the person talking about legitimate Bloodlines, do you dare reveal your identity? What did you do before the Transmigration? Were you a spoiled brat? Used to bullying men and oppressing women, and now that you've arrived at the Magic Sea and no one is serving you, and you've lost all your birth advantages, all you have left is a mouth?"

"Laughing to death. You say you are the legitimate one, so where are your merit points? Where is your organization? How many people have you led? How many lives have you saved? The Revival Society has hundreds of thousands of people, four major general administrations, and the fighting spirit of warriors in Overlimit Mode — what do you have?"

After a round of dense artillery fire, those few questioning IDs fell completely silent.

No one dared to reply.

Because everyone knew that in the Magic Sea, merit points are the right to speak.

Your contributions are written on the ranking list, published every three days, and visible to the whole world.

You say you are the legitimate one?

The ranking list doesn't know you.

The storm subsided very quickly. The mainstream of the comment section returned to the discussion itself.

Discussing the strength comparison of the powerhouses already registered by various organizations, discussing the personnel composition of various tiers for the Faction Sequence Battle, discussing which talents are suitable for 5v5, and which are suitable for ten-thousand-person groups —

Until a post appeared.

Pushing the heat of the discussion to another peak once again.

"Wait a minute… have you guys thought about one question?"

"Will the Fate Master… participate?"
