Chapter 766: Golden Light Soars to the Heavens

Hehe, how's it going, Chairman Mo Wen? Got any gains?

Lang Xing Tianxia, chuckling, said to Su Sheng.

At the same time, Lang Xing Tianxia watched the mythical lion mount beneath Su Sheng's seat with envy.

Who wouldn't want such a mount?

Especially for a War Knight, a flying mount is literally a "dream lover."

"Not bad, got some gains," Su Sheng chuckled.

Lang Xing Tianxia's eyes showed even more envy.

The guild leaders present, while their attention was on the Demon Race war statues before them, realized they had to concentrate their focus on these, lest a careless move cause a crash.

But they had all seen Su Sheng's actions earlier; at a moment like this, running to the North Gate was, without doubt, a rush toward that massive ancient war demon elephant.

But on this point they could only be envious, for if they went instead, there was no guarantee they'd reap any reward.

That massive ancient war demon elephant would probably shatter at the slightest touch; whether their attacks could pierce its defense is another matter— even if they barely broke its guard, it would likely be hard to earn any damage contribution.

"Tsk tsk, wrap it up quickly; this should be it for now."

Daozu of Hongmeng, looking ahead at the dwindling war statues, spoke.

At this point, there were few Demon Race war demon elephants left in the arena, and the distant Demon Siege machines were all gone.

The NPC knight squads of Xuanwu Main City were still moving swiftly.

The only difficulty was likely the endless numbers and that massive ancient war demon elephant.

Unfortunately, the ancient war demon elephant was blocked by a Xuan Wu mechanical beast…

Moreover, the endless Demon Race monster numbers were mitigated thanks to the Dream Builder members' warning; leveraging his status as the top player on the Domestic Server, Su Sheng directly rallied over 80% of Domestic Server players to gather at the Xuan Wu and Bai Hu main cities.

Otherwise, this sudden expansion could have caused incalculable loss to the Domestic Server.

As time passed, after about half an hour, the last Demon Race war statues were cleared.

At this point, this expansion was essentially over.

The Demon Energy suppression on their bodies vanished at an unknown moment.

Beyond Xuanwu Main City, the lingering Demon Energy began to dissipate gradually.

However, just as the final war statue collapsed into wreckage…

From within Xuanwu Main City emerged a squad of NPC members dressed as white Holy Light Priests.

Then, these priests began to chant…

Soft white light blossomed on them, covering the surrounding area.

The remaining black Demon Energy, upon contacting the white Holy Light, began to melt away bit by bit.

This NPC priest squad chanted while advancing, and as they moved, the surrounding Demon Energy was gradually cleansed.

"Is this Purification of Demon Energy?"

"Looks like it. In the 'Zhu Lu' setting, the world has its own set of operating rules; although this Demon Energy is slowly dissipating, the rate is not fast. It doesn't affect us players much, but it does have considerable impact on local NPCs."

"Look at that Da Gong Ji over there; it could have been just an ordinary poultry, but look now."

Many players noticed that at a household's fence in the city, the Da Gong Ji's appearance had changed…

Its once brilliant feathers and red comb had turned gray‑black.

Su Sheng, seeing those feathers, recalled the earlier Dungeon in Wutong Town…

"Hey, Chicken brother."

I wonder if this Chicken brother has been training for two and a half years…

"Damn, brothers, quickly go Purify Demon Energy at Holy Light speed, and earn contribution!"

At that moment, a male Holy Light Priest player let out a startled shout.

He bore a Holy Light tree on his back, just like the squad of Holy Light Priest NPCs below the city, emitting a soft pure white light; the surrounding Demon Energy melted away bit by bit under his Holy Light.

"Whoa, charge, sisters!"

Then a group of 'women's army' charged out.

The number of healer players exceeded that of healer dads…

Thus, instantly outside Xuanwu Main City, countless Holy Light Priest players wielding the Holy Light skill roamed everywhere.

Other players could only watch enviously.

The battle had ended; now there wasn't a single monster.

They now had no other means to earn faction contribution.

Then a group of Punishment Priests also ran out.

Although they are Punishment Priests, they also have the basic Holy Light skill.

However, the Holy Light's range and effect aren't as good as those of Holy Light Priests…

But at least they can earn contribution points without fighting monsters—a free ride—so they'd take them.

Now that so many players had gathered here, the number of priest players rushing out was naturally a swarm.

And then…

That NPC squad turned a corner and blinked with a bewildered expression.

What about the Demon Energy?

Is it just gone?

Gone?

Meanwhile, a group of satisfied priest players smiled at their faction contributions.

Ding~

Demon Tribe Invasion DLC, the first act ends.

Congratulations to Huaxia server players, after arduous battles they defended two Main Cities.

The victors… Huaxia server players.

Ding~

Camp victory, gaining rewards…

All players with camp contributions over 100, reward level +1.

Swish~

In an instant, dense golden light shot up into the sky.

Hundreds of millions of players simultaneously leveled up—what a spectacular sight?

"Hahaha! I didn't lose a level, I actually gained one, and now I gained another—awesome!!"

"Ha, I leveled up too!"

"Phew, phew, I dropped a level, but I just made it back up—essentially I earned points for free."

"I dropped a level, but after killing monsters I'm about to level up anyway; now I've gained a level, and if I kill a few more monsters I can level up again!"

"Should we thank A San now?"

"We definitely ought to properly "thank" A San!"

"Come on, brothers, how about we go explore the Demon Realm? See if we can get our hands on the A San Server."

Su Sheng looked at the settlement screen and couldn't help but smile.

Not bad, it's both a challenge and an opportunity.

As long as they take down this Demon Siege, the original crisis will turn into a blessing.

This time the difficulty is high; on average it's almost as if every player lost a level.

Some players even lost two levels; extremely unlucky ones even lost three.

But this time it basically made up for most of the losses.

Among them, some elite players weren't mobilized during the siege, and now they're making a huge profit.

Checking the leaderboard, Su Sheng is now level 61.

Then the vast majority of elite players have already reached level 56 or even 57.

"Haha, the boss didn't show up, otherwise we'd have gained another level." Shen Xiao beside them burst out laughing.

Su Sheng also smiled; Shen Wang, this "king of kings," but as the saying goes, a loss may be a blessing in disguise.

Ding~
