Chapter 399: A New World, the Imperial Capital

Fang Yi said with indignation, "Even in a world with conscious guidance, for life to forge equipment, comprehend skills, and cultivate transcendent beings, it all requires a long passage of time."

Even the lowest-quality equipment containing transcendent energy does not come from nothing.

For example, magic equipment,

requires a blacksmith to constantly experiment, the furnace, forging techniques, quenching, selecting ores...

It even requires the help of a Mage to engrave magic patterns and inject magic energy so that the transcendent energy can operate continuously.

These are all things gradually explored over countless years.

They are the crystallized craftsmanship condensed at the end.

"Skills are the same."

A warrior fighting in a bloodbath must constantly hone their techniques, and only with outstanding talent is there a probability of comprehending the lowest-level skill, 【Whirlwind Slash】.

Then, through constant inheritance, generations of warriors polish their techniques; from simple martial arts, there is a very faint probability of them transforming into energy skills.

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Even if players control an entire nation, or even the world, they cannot directly use the Origin; they can only develop slowly and passively."

"However..."

Changing the subject, Fang Yi revealed his true intentions, "The Samsara Game can provide players with the highest quality service."

"With barracks blueprints, once built, one can directly recruit civilians of that world and quickly master relevant combat techniques. The higher the barracks level, the more powerful the combat techniques that can be quickly learned."

"Castle blueprints can teach 【Knight】 related techniques and even allow for promotion to the 【Knight】 profession."

"Equipment blueprints, once purchased, allow one to directly start forging equipment related to the Zombie World, such as Peach Wood Swords, Abomination Blades, Jiangshi Zhua..."

"..."

"That is why I say, handing the world over to players is the best choice!"

"Players will obediently hand over the Origin they worked so hard to mine to the Samsara Game in various ways."

"Just like industrious little bees."

Working without complaint, tirelessly dedicating themselves to resisting the Polluted World—what a great spirit this is.

Fang Yi sighed in his heart.

A Fu opened his mouth wide, unable to speak.

"Let's go!"

The war in the Zombie World is intensifying,

and all players are frantically searching for Ghost Generals, wanting to obtain an admission ticket to the Imperial Palace Underground Palace.

Although the Corpse Dragon is powerful,

once it is targeted by these players, it will likely soon turn into nutrients like 【Gem】s and 【Reward Point】s, helping the players grow.

"Where to?"

White-haired A Fu looked dazed, as if he had just woken up.

Could it be that they are going to take the initiative to hunt the pollution? "Since the Samsara Game has already been exposed to the vision of the Polluted World, we have no need for concern."

"Starting now, recruit players on a large scale."

Fang Yi's gaze pierced through layers of spatial barriers, landing in the world where a certain player was located, and said, "Go to the Imperial Capital. The 【World Cornerstone】 of this world is very suitable for building a structure that can train players."

He extended his index finger and let it fall lightly,

and space rippled like the surface of the sea. Fang Yi carried white-haired A Fu through these ripples.

It was like passing through a door,

and the scene before Fang Yi gradually brightened: spacious and clean streets, noisy and bustling passersby; the architectural style was still medieval, but it was very prosperous.

The most eye-catching building was the Royal City in the very center of the Imperial Capital, which stood a full head taller than its surroundings, like a giant fortress.

The most noble group of people in this world lived inside.

"Master, what are we going to do?"

White-haired A Fu was eager to move, looking at the food shops on both sides of the street, habitually wanting to feast on the delicacies of another world.

Looking at the bustling popularity, Fang Yi said with a relaxed smile, "Go to the Royal City and find the Emperor of this world, though... a minister will also do." Diju Shijie,

can also be called 【Akame ga Kill!】, because the one favored by fate in this world is a young girl named Akame.

Just as people will decay, a nation will one day head toward destruction. Even the Imperial Capital, with its thousand years of prosperity, is nothing more than a corrupt hell on earth, where monsters in human skin run rampant and act with arrogance! This is the most truthful portrayal of this world.

The seemingly prosperous Imperial Capital before them is actually corrupt to the extreme; according to the historical progression, it is the final years of a dynasty.

Everywhere there are corrupt officials, commoners are treated like pigs and dogs, and the upper echelons indulge in luxury and pleasure...

The attribute of this world's cornerstone is 【Tool】.

Therefore, about a thousand years ago, the Emperor who unified Diju Dalu, in order to maintain long-term rule, used the Empire's immense financial resources and power to summon the highest-level craftsmen from all over the world. Using legendary super-dangerous species as materials, combined with rare metals like Orichalcum and a large amount of long-lost secret arts, he developed forty-eight powerful weapons that could not be replicated, calling them 【Teigu】.

This was the guidance of the World Consciousness, turning the Origin into individual 【Teigu】.

According to the World Consciousness's idea, these Teigu were only the beginning; in the future, more and more divine artifacts would be forged, leading the entire world to promote to 【Tier 2】.

But things went contrary to expectations; soon, the Empire began to decay, and these Teigu were all used as tools to enslave the commoners.

A large number of commoners were killed, and blacksmiths, carpenters, swordsmiths... all kinds of people capable of manufacturing stronger tools died tragically. The first batch of 【Teigu】 manufactured actually became the strongest tools.

Later, because of the Empire's various evil deeds, the army became corrupt, bureaucrats ran rampant, commoners struggled to survive, and various techniques and inheritances for manufacturing tools were lost.

Even with the power of the whole world, they could barely forge inferior 【Ministerial Tool】s.

Therefore, the consciousness of Diju Shijie began to construct a new fate, which is the plot known in Fang Yi's mind,

where the righteous side is the secret unit affiliated with the Revolutionary Army, born under the guidance of the World Consciousness, the assassin group that shocked the Imperial Capital, 【Night Raid】. To help the Revolutionary Army overthrow the rule of the Imperial Capital, they assassinated various corrupt officials and wealthy merchants, thereby causing turmoil among the Imperial Capital's upper echelons.

The evil side is the 【Jaegers】 unit, established by the world's strongest, the Imperial Capital's Jiangjiun Esdeath, who had just become a Samsara Game Player, to protect the Imperial Capital.

Because of the special nature of Diju Shijie, the Origin is contained within the 【Teigu】, so even the righteous side did not receive the protection of the World Consciousness.

They aimed entirely at overthrowing the Imperial Capital, perishing together, and recovering the Teigu.

Therefore, the protagonist group and the villain group almost all died tragically.

Just like the main melody of this world: decay, darkness, and then welcoming death.

"Thank you, sir. Are you a traveler from out of town?"

The roadside vendor revealed a fawning smile, took the copper coins Fang Yi handed him, and said, "You haven't found a place to stay for the night yet, have you?"

"I know of a very high-class inn; would you like me to recommend it to you?"

A Fu, with his white hair, was eating a roasted suckling pig and did not speak, his mouth dripping with grease.

Fang Yi wore a smile and refused, saying, "No need, thank you."

The malice on the other person was already about to overflow.

In the eyes of Fang Yi, whose strength was roughly equivalent to several times that of a Tier 2 World-Class Boss, it could not be concealed at all.

Just after he left,

the vendor's expression turned gloomy, and he muttered, "What a vigilant guy. I originally wanted to sell him for a good price..."

He had a cooperative relationship with the innkeeper; once Fang Yi followed his arrangement to the inn, he would disappear without a trace, and the vendor would get twenty percent of the money on him.

Rumble...

From the backyard came the sounds of railings collapsing one after another.

The vendor hurried back to the backyard, looked at the white pig that had arched its way out of the pen, and raged, "Even you lot want to run away?"

Saying this, he picked up a pig-slaughtering knife and walked toward the pig pen with heavy steps.

Pfft...

A suckling pig, not even as high as the vendor's knees, revealed scarlet eyes, no longer looking like something waiting to be slaughtered.

It was just like those Danger Beasts outside the city in legends.

The vendor collapsed to the ground, two razor-like tusks piercing his belly; watching the pig that had mutated into a Danger Beast kill him,

his eyes were filled with shock and terror.
