Qi Sheng did not intend to continue using the remaining 2.89 million Sacrificial Power in storage, reserving it for novice player resurrection costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This portion of Sacrificial Power was like an interest-free loan; after all, novice players exploring the world in the early stages would inevitably Iron Face death yet be unable to pay resurrection fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before recruiting new players, Qi Sheng had discovered that most players from the Gillscale Clan and Abyssal Fish Clan were brick-moving type players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their entry would inevitably produce a large quantity of Sacrificial Power for trading; the problem of severe Sacrificial Power deficiency in the eyes of whale players would clearly be somewhat alleviated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, overall, the issue of insufficient Sacrificial Power could not yet be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this process, the Human side also needed to continuously expend real-world foreign currency to the two brick-moving races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from Qi Sheng's perspective, this deal meant the Humans had truly profited immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using real-world currency to buy Sacrificial Power was exactly what the Eclipse Clan had recently wanted to do but had struggled to accomplish due to a lack of any channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without dwelling on this issue, his gaze switched back to the perspective of the alien players at Colorful Mist Coast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the coast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scattered alien players swept through like a locust swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gnawing trees, catching crabs, diving to catch fish... every sort of bizarre behavior could be seen here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smart alien players had already logged into the forum, beginning to browse strategy guides and search for shortcuts to growth, but the vast majority of alien players still understood game functions through free exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, the regional voice channel was occupied by alien players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exclamations, curses, team invitations, novice questions... the only common point was that players from both alien races were awestruck by the perfect scene presentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how they tested, they could not find any virtual flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did they realize that the few races who had obtained qualifications early were actually eating so well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling how their requests for early game access had been rejected by the Eclipse Clan, they felt immense gratitude in their hearts for the generous help of Benefactor Father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This act was comparable to the story of Prometheus stealing fire in the Human mythological system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had brought hope of survival to them in their poverty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling him Benefactor Father once and kowtowing a few times was too light; they ought to erect a statue of him in Fishery Port City for worship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this secret, neither of the two alien races dared to state explicitly within the chat channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The selling price of 100 Earth Coins, plus the early acquisition of game qualifications—these benefits would likely vanish if the truth were exposed, and they would also be banned by the Eclipse Clan and kicked out of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The losses caused at that time would be enormous, and it would even implicate the Benefactor, trapping him in dire straits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with their own vital interests, they all tacitly chose to keep the secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what they did not know was that the Benefactor who brought the game qualifications did not care at all about the game being exposed, nor was there any possibility of him being imprisoned by the Eclipse Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, four kilometers northwest of the Colorful Mist Coast spatial node, underwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colorful coral clusters spread and grew upon the seabed rocks; at a glance, it resembled an underwater tropical rainforest, with schools of fish large and small shuttling and roaming within, composing a magnificent and colorful ecological wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a black shadow suddenly pounced upon a red fish about 30 centimeters in length.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the threat, the red fish quickly flicked its tail and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacking figure also suddenly accelerated its swimming speed at that moment; its elegant and vigorous posture seemed like the most agile melody in the ocean, each movement of its limbs easily adjusting its swimming direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It followed the red fish, shuttling through coral reefs and seaweed at an astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Got you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a cheer in his heart, this figure suddenly opened its mouth wide, its body shooting forward several meters in an instant, biting the red fish and swallowing it in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he chewed, a look of intoxication appeared on Jiao Chen's Iron Face, and a challenger notification sounded in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Notification: Killed Red Fruit Fish, gained 12 Evolution Points, gained 3 Sacrificial Power reward.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Notification: Consumed Red Fruit Fish meat, gained Body Tempering Experience +9.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So delicious.\" A fresh and sweet taste spread in his mouth; he could not stop praising it in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally understood what the older generation meant by the taste of spiritual food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swallowing the Red Fruit Fish, Jiao Chen twisted his form, switching to the Eagle-Headed Demon form; a sensation of suffocation immediately struck, so he decisively held his breath, activating his Perception Vision to search for nearby underwater creatures with low hunting ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Perception Vision quickly scanned the nearby coral sea, soon locking onto a shelled lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Switching back to his original form, he passed through a patch of blue coral clusters, approaching the aquatic lifeform named \"Black King Clam\" with a hunting rank of 1 as indicated in the analysis information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching his hand into a stone crevice and groping around, he touched the Black King Clam from his Perception Vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling it out from the stone crevice, he bit down, using his sharp teeth to crack the outer shell, then tore off a mouthful of tender clam meat with his teeth, hooking it into his mouth with his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delicious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another successful hunt, Jiao Chen's Eagle-Headed Demon Soul Soul rank reached Level 2, and he gained 12 points of Body Tempering Experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since his Body Tempering Rank had not reached Level 1, the increase in Soul Soul rank could not be inherited by his main body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chewing and swallowing the delicacy, Jiao Chen continued searching for underwater monsters he could hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He enjoyed this process immensely; the food brought not only an ultimate sensory experience of taste but also clear feedback from the flesh level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the food entered his stomach, an indescribable wonderful sensation would instantly surge throughout his entire body, as if thousands of fine, warm rays of light were wandering beneath his skin, gently penetrating every cell, bringing unprecedented comfort and vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even felt that this ocean was his true home, that he originally belonged here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hunting all the way, Jiao Chen's Eagle-Headed Demon rank reached Level 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still chose to continue hunting in his main form; after all, the Eagle-Headed Demon form was ill-suited for the marine environment, and switching would only weaken his strength while forcing him to surface periodically for air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these three hours of exploration, he discovered that this sea area teemed with powerful lifeforms capable of easily killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the feeling of being an apex predator in Earth's oceans, exploring this sea area required him to remain on high alert throughout, guarding against attacks that could come at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process was tense and thrilling, his heart pounding uncontrollably faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he had already been attacked several times by sea creatures; fortunately, the hunting ranks of the attacking monsters were not high, allowing him to escape by a narrow margin each time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continued exploring and advancing, a Challenger Notification suddenly rang out in Jiao Chen's mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Notification: Exploration discovered a new region in the Colorful Mist Coast, \"Crystal Cave,\" granting a Sacrificial Power reward of 300 points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\" Hearing the notification of the reward feedback, Jiao Chen clenched his fist in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he spent all 300 points on improving his Body Tempering rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a professional brick-moving player, he clearly understood that to gain long-term profits in a game, improving one's own strength was especially important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Land had only been online for a little over two months; as long as one worked hard enough and grinded to death, it was entirely possible to catch up to the growth progress of the first batch of players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Sacrificial Power given by low-hunting-rank monsters was far incomparable to that of high-hunting-rank monsters; with powerful strength, he could easily kill high-level monsters, earning several times, or even dozens of times, the profit gained from hunting low-level monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to invest all the profits earned in the first two months into boosting his strength, and after two months, he would consider whether to switch to a profit-making Cultivation Mode or a partial profit-making Cultivation Mode depending on the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here comes the big shark!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheering in his heart, he accelerated and pounced on a black fish swimming slowly nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon spotting him, the black fish suddenly flicked its tail and accelerated, surging forward at an explosive speed that seemed incredible to Jiao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Analysis Information activated, the black fish's introduction appeared in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Extreme Speed (Second-Generation Primordial)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Rank: 6\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Target Introduction: A Primordial Monster possessing the \"Extreme Speed\" ability trait;

killing just one could bring profits worth millions of Human Federation Credit Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't a monster at all; it was practically a walking opportunity to get rich overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Chen's eyes instantly turned red with greed; although this Primordial Monster's hunting rank reached Level 6, making it highly probable he was no match for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as there was a sliver of a chance, he did not want to miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared that if he missed it, he would Renbuzhu  slap himself hard across the Iron Face when looking back on it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a treasure monster in the game; even those Human players who had entered the game two months early had only captured a little over twenty of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, I'll risk it all, go for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Chen gritted his teeth fiercely and chased after the Extreme Speed Fish that was about to disappear from his sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he soon discovered that the swimming speed he had been proud of on Earth—having won third place in the Fishery Port City's \"Wave-Breaking Race\" for two consecutive terms and being able to chase dolphins—was simply not enough to look at in front of the Extreme Speed Fish; the fish vanished from the end of his vision in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to give up, Jiao Chen chose to grit his teeth and persist, hoping in his heart that the Extreme Speed Fish would stop ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten consecutive minutes of high-speed swimming, Jiao Chen was exhausted, his whole body sore and weak, yet the Extreme Speed Fish still had not appeared in his line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damnable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing not to persist further, Jiao Chen swung a punch forcefully into the water, his expression filled with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opportunity to get rich overnight had brushed past him; he felt so distressed he wanted to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was preparing to turn back, his gaze was attracted by a magnificent underwater crystal palace in the depths of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structure of this palace did not look like it was built by intelligent life, but rather like the handiwork of nature itself, shining with brilliant colors amidst the endless waves and dark seawater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire palace was composed of crystal-clear crystal, each piece radiating colorful light, like countless rainbows interwoven, breathtakingly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight penetrated the sea surface, diving deep to the seabed; after being refracted and scattered by the crystal, the entire palace was enveloped in a layer of soft radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the distance was far and he could only see the general outline, such a magnificent and beautiful sight still made Jiao Chen marvel in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thought that floated into his mind was that there might be hidden rewards inside the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the rewards given for exploring regions, they needed to be approached before they could be triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he immediately dove toward the palace on the seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he gradually approached the palace, he discovered that a large group of aquatic creatures, resembling enlarged versions of deep-sea shrimp, surrounded the entire perimeter of the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through analysis feedback, he learned that this was a type of underwater lifeform called Shadow-Scale Shrimp Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their body structure was very peculiar; their bodies were covered in dark blue scale armor, and through their semi-transparent foreheads, one could see a glowing flesh ball beating like a heart inside; their heads were slightly flattened, with two huge compound eyes rotating independently; in front of them was a pair of massive pincers evolved from strong forelimbs; growing on their backs was a pair of transparent fins shaped like thin wings, which gently swayed in the seawater as they swam, aiding them in shuttling quickly through the deep sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they swam, the water flow around their bodies was guided by their unique body structures, forming streaks of brilliant flowing light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scanning around with his gaze, he found that the hunting ranks of the Shadow-Scale Shrimp Guards were generally above Level 25.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that with his current strength he simply could not enter the Crystal Palace, Jiao Chen opened his map function, noted down the coordinate numbers, and prepared to turn back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, a Challenger Notification rang out in his mind, as well as across the entire channel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Notification (All Channels): Discovered Sea Area - Domain Node \"Crystal Hall.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Crystal Hall (Domain Node)]:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domain Type: Rule\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Territory Trait: Gathering the Masses\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trait Introduction: By gathering collective strength, obtain additional power that receives continuous enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domain Status: Occupied (Shadow-Scale Clan)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying the Challenger Notification popping up across all channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea area map automatically updated; a small crimson marker appeared over the region where the Crystal Hall was located, so that opening the map allowed one to very intuitively see that there was a Domain Node here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new Purification Task also popped up at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Notification (All Channels): Discovered a Domain Node not occupied by players, triggering a Global Task: Purify the Crystal Hall.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purify the Crystal Palace (Global Task):\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Task Requirement: Occupy the Crystal Palace and capture the Domain Node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward 1: Expand the area of Emperor Tomb Village and gain the blessing of the Domain Rule trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward 2: Distribute rewards according to contribution ranking, with the maximum possible reward being Body Tempering Experience +30,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of the Purification Task attracted the attention of all players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the first Purification Task in the Colorful Mist Coast region;
