Chapter 726: Culture and Society! A Proactive Offensive!

"Proposal complete!"

"Member Yin Yue's proposal time has ended; we are now entering the Free Discussion Session, time limit 30 minutes."

Tiger turned its head toward Su Yang, its curved brows and eyes tinged with curiosity, "Is this the method you use to fight the Old Era Remnant Faction?"

Su Yang nodded without giving a direct answer, "As everyone knows, every era has a Round Table Meeting; with the Golden Throne about to appear, they will inevitably act against us to step onto the Golden Road."

"There are countless eras, and the old monsters are like the sands of the Ganges, innumerable."

"The Old Era Divine Ascension Seed that bears a grudge against me threatens to engulf our era."

"I have a bold conjecture: if we are to traverse the Golden Road smoothly, the annexation of eras is an unavoidable pass..."

"Then, before the Great World Struggle, our New Era must inevitably be the first to bear the brunt!"

"If these ancient beings, who have lived for several hundred to over a thousand years, propose through the Round Table Meeting to eliminate mechanisms that cannot match due to version differences, may I ask how you all would respond?"

At those words, everyone was visibly moved.

Especially Python, who seemed to sense a strong danger, "You mean... that all Old Era Players are highly likely to be the first to cut us down?"

Flower pondered for a moment, then said, "At this stage, the Old Era Players we encounter are all ones we run into because of their outdated versions; their Evolution Level is not high."

Dragon nodded, "Brother Yin Yue's proposal can indeed help us avert the crisis; if a seven‑tier or eight‑tier Gene Modification Player suddenly appears in the game, they would be wiped out in an instant."

Wood Grain voiced a differing opinion, "Is the version gap that easy to eliminate?"

Su Yang gave him a glance and said slowly, "Not to hide it from you, I have a dependent who has already defected; the opposing Divine Ascension Seed is the Fox who slipped into the Round Table Meeting last time!"

Boom!

【7】 The words just fell, like a massive bomb detonating in the brain.

The words just fell, like a heavy Bomb exploding in the Brain.

"What?!" Yao Ri and Tiger exclaimed in unison.

The most surprised were the two of them.

Back then, only seven players had obtained the rare Hidden Achievement.

And the Round Table Meeting's member limit is eight.

In that under‑populated situation, Fox employed an unknown Innate Talent to slip in unnoticed.

Originally Su Yang was merely skeptical, but Tiger directly exposed his identity at the meeting.

Later he learned the true identity from Zhai Sixin's mouth.

Now, hearing Su Yang recount that his dependent was 'abducted', they were inevitably shocked.

"The 'Fox' you mentioned... who is it?" Python was completely baffled.

"A cunning, depraved scoundrel!" Tiger said, each word measured.

"Strong?"

"Whether he's strong or not, I don't know, but his ambition and Desire are incalculable," Su Yang said.

"Now that you mention it, I actually want to meet him," Python suddenly became interested.

"Don't underestimate the people of the world; they may right now be scheming in another Sea Area on how to subdue us," Su Yang said.

"Yin Yue's proposal truly is timely rain; if they were to be the first to break the Era Barrier, we would be in great danger," Tiger said, his tone heavy.

"I actually think... the matter doesn't seem that simple," Monkey suddenly spoke.

"What is your view?" Su Yang asked.

"Think about it, the Old Era you speak of sits above an even older era; back then they perhaps faced the same predicament as we do now."

"They have persisted this long without being annexed, and have lived for several hundred years, so they must have a countermeasure."

"Since they've been rained upon, the players harmed by it must know how to maximize benefit."

"Based on these points... why didn't they break the Era Barrier earlier?"

"Why wait until now?"

"Don't you find it strange?"

Monkey's words made everyone's brows knit.

The matter truly is suspicious.

One could strike without waiting until now.

The simplest, most brutal way is to kill you while you're ill.

When the New Era first entered the Sea Area, it was still a newborn in swaddling clothes, with no combat power.

At that time, striking would have been far easier than now.

Reflecting on this, Su Yang mused, "... the Old Era you speak of, could it be that it has already been annexed?"

"What does that mean?" Monkey was taken aback.

"As far as I know, they have long since left their original cage and entered an immensely vast Continent."

"There are mountains and rivers, plains and soil there."

"There are towering, verdant trees, waterfalls that plunge straight down, and inexhaustible mineral veins and energy sources."

"There are skyscrapers, commercial districts, streets, even cars shuttling back and forth, and aircraft soaring in the sky."

"The people there have already formed a society, with their own currency, commercial logic, and system."

"Living there is no different from our original world."

"The population exceeds a hundred thousand; may I ask, have any of you imagined such a scene?" Su Yang said slowly.

Cities?

Commerce?

Can't even imagine!

"Their cultural literacy and society have already evolved to this stage?" Monkey's eyes instantly showed longing.

Su Yang nodded and continued, "As for why they didn't strike earlier..."

The answer is simple: the Round Table Meeting can only set the rules for one era and cannot affect others.

The Old Era Remnant Faction took my Dependents away; they not only intend to steal our information through him, but more importantly, they want to use him as a pretext to achieve annexation!

Precisely because of that, they are willing to spare no cost to snipe our people.

Now they have succeeded, and at the same time, their counterparts in another Sea Area must also be discussing in the Round Table Meeting how to strike us.

Rather than being passively trapped, it's better to take the initiative and strike.

When they voluntarily initiate Cross-Era Matching, the situation will be vastly different.

Whether you prefer to take the blows or seize the initiative is entirely up to each of you.

Having said that, Su Yang believes they know what is of greater or lesser importance.

This sword— is a crucial weapon for thrusting against the Old Era.

He doesn't care how many traitors are in this meeting, nor whether they have gained any benefit.

Since the matter has been made clear, there is no intention to hide personal gain.

The cards are laid out and the sword is drawn; the resolve to go to war is already present!

"Discussion Session is over, member 'Tiger' may present a Proposal."

Tiger was still lost in thought, and snapped back to attention upon hearing the voice.

She stared silently at the table, and after a while spoke:

"My Proposal is simple; its inspiration comes from the Old Era."

"Activate the Resurrection Channel; based on the Dependents' Evolution Level, consuming the corresponding Faith Value can resurrect them!"
