Chapter 1415
Within Sisbaning territory, Jilu Mine, inside a natural crystal cave.
Several Qiyuezhe from Apocalypse Paradise stood in a circle. In the center of them floated a transparent crystal. This crystal was about the size of a fist, and the inside of the crystal was chaotic. Staring at it for a few seconds would even cause dizziness.
"This is... the World Core?"
An old man wearing a miner's lamp hat and holding a high-tech mining shovel was staring blankly at the World Core. He had been looking at it like this for several minutes.
"What should we do? We just wanted to dig some rare ores, how did we dig out this thing? Sanctuary Paradise is not easy to provoke, and Reincarnation Paradise is even more of a concentration camp for crazy people. I don't want to fight them. I'm already prepared for the attribute deduction for mission failure."
A little loli looked up, and she also stared at the World Core for a long time.
"How about... we just pretend we didn't see it? Last World Contention, I just mixed through. Those main-war factions eventually won anyway."
"Are you kidding? Leaving it alone like this, we might be forcibly executed. Besides... there's a huge reward for discovering this thing. Aren't you tempted?"
"Very tempted, but those two sides will definitely rush over to grab it. If it's two against one..."
"Stop talking, I already have the picture in my head."
Several people surrounded the World Core. They were Qiyuezhe at the early stage of Tier 4, and they were the very Buddhist type. Every time they experienced a world, they completed the mission with a very low rating. Their main profit channel was searching for rare resources, which allowed them to earn quite a lot.
Such small teams were not uncommon in the relatively gentle Apocalypse Paradise. They were actually somewhat similar to staff members, just with much stronger combat power than staff members.
Qiyuezhe and staff members of Reincarnation Paradise were two extremes. One was fighting in blood and fire, while the other didn't have too high risk and had fewer ways to become stronger. Both were indispensable.
"Otherwise... hand it over to Black Bee. That guy really wants to fight someone from Reincarnation Paradise or Sanctuary Paradise."
"Good idea."
"Just hand it over like this? Is it a bit..."
"Don't hesitate. Once this thing is dug out, it will be located by all Qiyuezhe."
"It's happily decided like this, hand it over to Black Bee."
Just as several people were discussing, space surged, and a figure appeared in the mine cave.
"Black, Black Bee."
The little loli in the team stepped back a few steps and hid behind the old man.
"You found it?"
The man who appeared out of thin air spoke. His voice had a metallic texture, and his arms were of metal structure.
"That's right."
The old man wearing the miner's lamp hat was clearly much calmer. Although Black Bee was moody, he wouldn't be crazy enough to attack his own Qiyuezhe.
"Bring it here."
Black Bee reached out his metal arm. The old man hesitated for a moment, then handed the World Core to Black Bee.
Space power surged again, turning into a whirlpool, with a large group of black bees flying around the whirlpool. The man named Black Bee disappeared.
Sun Kingdom, God's Court, inside a bedroom.
A woman wearing a golden robe and a hood sat on a wooden chair.
"Have you considered it? How do you want to die? I can give you a decent way to die."
The woman's voice was gentle, but the words she spoke were intended to take a life.
"Lord Shen Nai, I just..."
The woman waved her hand: "I'm asking how you want to die, don't answer the wrong question. God is listening to our conversation, tell it directly, how do you want to die."
"..."
The man kneeling on the ground had his cheeks twitching.
"Shen Nai, if you kill me, no one will serve you anymore."
The man raised his head and made eye contact with the woman named Shen Nai.
"Actually, I don't want to kill you. It's hard to find a tool as useful as you. But just as you said, if you don't die, how can I convince the public?"
Shen Nai took out a piece of parchment. The man kneeling on one knee suddenly wanted to stand up, but several golden light circles appeared around him, binding him.
With a 'rip', the parchment was torn, and the man's complexion quickly turned gray, his body shattering like paper.
"Let... them go."
With a 'thud', the man fell to the ground. Strangely, Shen Nai, who killed her own personnel, didn't receive any punishment.
"The World Core is actually in Sisbaning territory. Finally, I don't have to tangle with that shit-stirrer anymore. That..."
Shen Nai seemed to want to swear, but considering it wasn't very good to do so, she took back the words that were about to slip out.
At the same time, inside an office in the God's Court.
"Actually calling me a shit-stirrer, then aren't you shit yourself."
Qing Yan, holding a glass of red wine, smiled. His plan was interrupted, which was something that couldn't be helped. After all, once someone discovered the World Core, the war situation would change in an instant.
Once someone discovered the World Core, it meant that the Qiyuezhe melee was about to begin.
The current situation seemed chaotic, and none of the three sides had fought on a large scale, but in reality, the situation was very clear.
The Reincarnation Paradise side couldn't cooperate with any side. In fact, no one dared to cooperate with these people. Whoever held the World Core, the Qiyuezhe of the Reincarnation Paradise side would fight them. For example, right now, the Apocalypse Paradise side held the World Core, so they were the biggest enemy.
Sanctuary Paradise was similar. Whoever had the World Core, they would fight them. As for cooperating with Reincarnation Paradise, it was completely impossible. Qing Yan had almost made them vomit blood from tossing them around.
Apocalypse Paradise was very simple. Except for a few main-war factions, their attitude was: you guys fight each other, just don't come to fight me. Whoever won, they would weigh whether they could beat them. If they couldn't beat them, they would just go through the motions to avoid being punished for passive fighting.
Right now, the World Source was in the hands of the Apocalypse Paradise side. Their strongest, Black Bee, clearly didn't fear Reincarnation Paradise and Sanctuary Paradise. In the last World Contention, the world where Black Bee was located won for the Apocalypse Paradise side.
Of course, Black Bee wouldn't be confident enough to inflate. His plan was to unite with Sanctuary Paradise and work with Sanctuary Paradise to solve the most troublesome Reincarnation Paradise first, and then decide the winner.
However, right now, the Gya Alliance army was pressing on the border. It would take some time for the Qiyuezhe of the Sanctuary Paradise side to leave the Sun Kingdom territory. As for the Qiyuezhe of the Reincarnation Paradise side, the Gya Alliance where they were located was the dominant side, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to withdraw from the battlefield.
Shengli Gate Fortress, beside the half-collapsed concrete trench.
Su Xiao was holding a bowl of meat soup, checking the notifications given by Reincarnation Paradise.
【Announcement: A Qiyuezhe already holds the World Core.】
【The World Core must be delivered to: Polar Region · Hot Rainforest Forest within 15 natural days.】
【Hot Rainforest Forest: Located in the center of Blue Sea Star. After arriving at the Hot Rainforest Forest, the World Core can be placed at a specific location to form a World Coordinate. During the formation of the coordinate, it must be guarded to avoid being captured by Qiyuezhe from the other two sides. If the World Coordinate is successfully established, the guarding side will become the winner of the World Contention.】
【Current World Core holder: Apocalypse Paradise.】
【War mission has changed. The Hunter must capture the World Core before the 'World Coordinate' is formed.】
"Found by the Apocalypse people."
Su Xiao muttered. Bubu Wang beside him raised its dog head, meaning: "Master, don't worry. Last time, it was those people from Apocalypse Paradise who found the World Core first. I'll go steal that thing right now. I'm very skilled at this business."
Su Xiao stood up. He was considering whether he should head to the center of the world: Polar Region · Hot Rainforest Forest, or go directly to Sisbaning territory. The World Core was something that had to be snatched.
