Chapter 1253

Xiao Feng supplemented: "It's best if these candidates are experts or have great potential—only by strengthening the strong can we realize their value."

The Primeval Inheritance isn't just about boosting the civilization index; its main purpose is to increase our war zone's overall strength.

If successful, gaining over a hundred Primeval Inheritances could produce a batch of experts whose strength matches that of fifth-tier talent holders.

Zhan Tian nodded and said, "Exactly. We should spend a few hours carefully selecting them, just like we did for the Flying Bird Calamity dungeon last time—half the slots from the alliance, half from other guilds in the war zone."

Shen Di added, "Ideally we need people who can be called upon when needed; in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield showdown, we'll certainly need expert players to lead teams, and we shouldn't waste the opportunity on selfish individuals."

Xiao Feng gave a slight nod: "Let's handle this ourselves—we can select from those who've cleared dungeons before; there's no need to alert the whole zone."

Since everyone he knows is also acquainted with Shen Di and the gang, he doesn't need to worry about picking the candidates.

Shen Di said, "Alright, just wait at Wind Spirit Island; we'll lock in the candidates today and fly there on a flying vessel—you'll get there in about three days."

"That's better—it stops people from running amok once they get to Wind Spirit Island." Xiao Feng was very pleased.

Traveling together in a flying vessel ensures everyone arrives simultaneously, so there's no need to wait.

"Should we bring in Sword Slaying the Heavens? He's got good potential and top-tier operational awareness, but he's already undergone a Main God-level inheritance."

Zhang Fan then asked.

Seeing his close friend, Xiao Feng sensed that Old Zhang was worried Sword Slaying the Heavens would outpace him and leave him behind, prompting the question.

He replied, "If you don't want him, you can leave him out."

Zhang Fan looked a bit embarrassed, his ulterior motive exposed.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Let's bring him—he's an expert and will be a major combat asset when we play on overseas servers. I'll work hard to see if I can catch up to him!"

Xiao Feng readily agreed: "Sure. When we get there, I'll first take you to encounter a few stronger inheritances; if the compatibility is high, your future prospects will be limitless."

The Primeval Inheritance within the Chaos Immortal Realm includes several Venerable-level inheritances; he intends to lead his close friends first to try to acquire them.

But if the compatibility is truly too low, we shouldn't force it—otherwise it would be a waste for both the player and the inheritance.

"Little Fan will surely become an unparalleled powerhouse!" Yun Shang Yan took Zhang Fan's hand and encouraged him.

Encouraged, Zhang Fan's face lit up with fighting spirit.

Li Li laughed, "We also need to work hard to get stronger; if there's still a Primeval World event like that, we'll strive to survive to the end together with Old Xiao."

"Yeah, let's work hard together!"

Zhang Fan reached out a hand.

"Let's work hard together!"

Everyone placed a hand on top of another, encouraging each other.

Xiao Feng chuckled, pulled out the Void Umbrella, and got ready to leave.

At that moment, Shen Di suddenly said, "Oh right, there's one more thing."

"What is it?" Xiao Feng asked.

Everyone turned their gaze to Shen Di.

Shen Di and Zhan Tian exchanged a look and said, "When we came back from the Primeval World, didn't we mention holding an offline celebration banquet? We now have a plan, but we still need to hear your opinions and ideas."

The offline celebration banquet…

Upon hearing that, everyone's expressions turned a bit odd.

Everyone's been enjoying the game, but many team members have never met in real life.

In the game everyone's getting stronger, but offline we're just a bunch of homebodies—no idea if meeting will be awkward.

Xiao Feng asked, "First, tell us the general details—what time and what place?"

Shen Di immediately said, "I originally wanted to host this myself, but since the big boss behind Zhan Tian also wants to join, we decided to co-host it. The venue is a holiday island near Sea Prefecture, fairly close to you, Xiao Feng. It'll be about four days in the real world—roughly two days after the game's annual season ends. I'll arrange a special flight to pick you up, along with overseas players like the Son of God. Then we'll take a ship from Sea Prefecture, board a yacht to the island, and spend two or three days there."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt the plan was getting a bit large-scale.

A sea island, a special flight, a yacht…

What a luxury for the elite!

Li Li timidly asked, "Could this be some kind of shady party?"

Shen Di, with his wife beside him, hurried to clarify: "It's completely legitimate, totally proper—absolutely no lingerie models or outsiders, just in‑circle players. You can bring family members, not just from the game but also real‑life relatives and friends if they wish to come; the venue is large enough."

"No lingerie models? Then I'm not going." Xiao Feng scowled.

Everyone laughed loudly.

Zhan Tian added, "Several higher‑up bosses also want to meet you to talk about how Myriad Heavens affects the real world and your future plans. After that it's just free time—you can go online, go fishing at sea for good food, or do whatever you like."

"If you like the spot, you can stay longer—it's an officially owned holiday island, so you hardly have to spend anything."

Everyone exchanged glances to gauge each other's thoughts.

Xiao Feng is the group's backbone, and his opinion carries the most weight.

Seeing everyone's gaze on him, he nodded and said, "I'm fine with anything; we have plenty of time—just don't hit me after we meet because I'm too handsome."

"Then you also have to be able to beat me." Shen Di chuckled, his words hinting at something.

However, nobody else really paid attention.

Zhang Fan looked at his online girlfriend, whom he'd never met face‑to‑face, and cautiously asked, "Yun Yan, are you coming?"

He looked nervous, afraid she'd refuse yet also afraid she'd agree, leaving him unsure what to do.

Yun Shang Yan smiled slightly: "Such a good opportunity definitely shouldn't be missed. My family is strict; if I said I was going to see you, they'd likely object. But with Shen Di and Zhan Tian as bosses backing me, they couldn't stop me even if they tried."

"Mm, that's good." Zhang Fan's eyes lit up, anticipation written all over his face.

Qing Feng Yan Yu teased, "We've been online dating in the game for months; finally we're meeting in person—congratulations!"

Dun Dun chimed in: "After you meet, don't get too excited—young folks need to exercise restraint."

"Two little troublemakers, ignore you!" Yun Shang Yan snorted softly, grabbed Zhang Fan and teleported away, not knowing where they'd go to whisper.

Qing Feng Yan Yu sighed, "Ah, once you have a boyfriend you don't need a best friend anymore; I'd better skip the celebration banquet, otherwise I'll end up alone with nobody to talk to."

Goddess Empress smiled and said: "You single little beauty, you'll definitely be the focus then; who knows how many toasts you'll get, I'll just get you drunk and take you back to the room... heh~"

Clear Wind and Misty Rain heard the words, her pretty face blushed: "Then I absolutely cannot go."

Everyone laughed and chatted.

After a while, they parted in Azure Blue City, each went their own way.

Xiao Feng directly returned to Wind Spirit Island, continuing his cultivation and comprehension of the Dao, nurturing the Chaos Tree, waiting for the opportunity to open the Chaos Immortal Realm.
