Clicking in, it's an analysis of recent developments in "Zhūtiān".

Translation: "Clicking in, it was an analysis of recent developments in 《Myriad Heavens》."

The reason it's called a sleepless night is that, based on the rate of level progression, at midnight tonight in the real world the Blue Star war zone could see over 100,000 level‑100 players emerge, meeting the requirement to unlock the main city boundaries.

Translation: "Although I don't know"

The source of these statistics is unclear, but they're probably about right.

Translation: "where the statistics come from, but they should be roughly accurate."

This is an extremely terrifying quantity!

If several billion players were to fight, the scene would be more astonishing than any world war; even in the game world, it would be a sea of people, earth‑shaking!

Now everyone on the forum is discussing the direction of this national war.

The most debated point among them is whether top players can decide the overall situation.

Because the Dragon Nation's war zone has seen Xiao Feng's fixed team of six abnormal players over level 200, plus the doggedly pursuing top player Sword Slaying the Heavens.

Many people feel that just these seven individuals could make the foreign server players cry.

Others believe that no matter how strong an individual is, facing several million people is just a freebie— a single mouthful of spit could drown them.

Furthermore, there are 24 main cities, with countless national‑level and guild‑level forces, making the overall situation hard to predict.

Not to mention ordinary players, even Xiao Feng, the strongest player, couldn't help but start analyzing after seeing the post.

Just how many ordinary players could he himself handle?

100,000?

1,000,000?

Or even more?

Besides him, there are also several players in the foreign server whose stats are heaven‑defying and whose levels far outstrip everyone else.

Like the foreign server's former number one player who once boasted 'I'll conquer you at level 100', Battle Axe, who has now reached level 151, completed his fourth class advancement, and is on par with Sword Slaying the Heavens.

The expert who once soloed an level‑80 mythic boss, Lord of Darkness, has likewise reached level 146, and is said to specifically hunt mythic bosses to gain experience.

Although no heaven‑defying 200‑level entity has appeared yet, their total player count exceeds that of the Dragon Nation, making it really hard to guess how a real fight would turn out.

Apart from topics related to the opening of national borders, there are many other things in the game that have also attracted people's attention.

The major recent event in the Dragon Nation is mainly the lowering of the difficulty of the Ashen Plains battlefield directly caused by Xiao Feng. After the main base was demolished, no mythic bosses appeared on the battlefield, turning it into a holy ground for ordinary players to farm contribution.

The Frostwind Mountain Range battlefield is similar, except the teleportation array remains, and occasionally a few stronger monsters appear.

Also, the lord of Stormwind City has changed, with Ariel Lord 'ascending the throne', holding a special celebration event that lets players gain some experience and gold coins.

These things, for the game as a whole, are plot‑style advancements that will continually influence future development.

Similar things are also happening on the foreign server.

One of the three great bosses of the Abyss, the Dark Demon God, has sent its minions to invade Xi Dalu, forming a player force called the 'Dark Legion', which has spawned large numbers of necromancers, death knights, liches and other undead classes; its overall strength is considerably greater than that of ordinary players, making it quite formidable.

This force once tried to occupy 'Starlight City', but failed. After the borders open, perhaps it will come to the Dragon Nation's original cities to launch an assault.
