basically, both veteran players and newcomers had followed him, receiving system notifications every time he updated a post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Nightfall Approaching did not publish a strategy guide; instead, he initiated a discussion on the power structure within the known background of the Monster World and launched a vote in the post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Regarding the factions of the Monster World, I suddenly had a whim; brothers, come in and join the lively discussion.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poster: Nightfall Approaching\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Content:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few days, the Jile Palace incident has been quite the spectacle; I didn't go, but I watched many on-site videos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sparked a doubt in me, and I want to ask for everyone's opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the background of the game \"Dark Lands,\" the \"Monster World,\" we have already encountered many powerful racial factions; assuming we are not players but transmigrators entering the Monster World, and now you are given a chance to choose your identity background, how would you choose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me clarify in advance: the identities I have set are based on existing intelligence data and may not align with the facts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you have different ideas, leave a comment, and I will modify them as appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below are the racial factions participating in this selection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option One: The Terrifying Black Black Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a transmigrator in the Monster World, you will become a newly born intelligent evil spirit, possessing an Evil Eye to assist your growth (referencing the Ground-Nian Evil Spirit), controlling legion units starting from level 1-3 low-tier evil influences, and gradually building a multi-system Terrifying Black Black Tide legion during development, including Calamity-type, Plague-type, Death Disaster-type, Destruction-type, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast unit library possesses countless evil influence templates available for selection and generation; as long as you possess sufficient Black Black Tide energy, you can have whatever unit type you desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can also gradually expand your territory by covering node domains, obtaining more Black Black Tide nutrients, until you become a terrifying calamity sweeping across the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during this process, you may also encounter powerful factions and die instantly (after all, the Monster World is fraught with danger; theoretically, you could be destroyed at any moment by a suddenly descending powerful faction, such as the Mechanical Legion's sudden divine descent last time, which wiped out both us and the Black Black Tide instantly).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risk Factor: 3 stars (rated 1-10 stars)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Speed: 10 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Potential: Infinite\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option Two: Combat Insect Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After choosing this identity, you will transmigrate into the Monster World as a low-level Insect Race main brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon first entering the Monster World, you can gnaw on the ground (stones, plants, spiritual materials, and all other resources) to obtain the energy needed to breed Insect Race warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During your growth and development, you will continuously collect pheromones released by hostile factions, learn their racial characteristics, and breed new Insect Race warriors that counter these abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As you acquire more pheromones, the Insect Race warriors you breed will become stronger, gradually adapting to various combat environments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, your abilities have no upper limit; although you breed a single unit type, the bred units undergo infinite evolution, branching out like a skill tree to develop different unit systems; after a prolonged war of attrition with any racial faction, they will eventually become harmless sheep, completely losing the threat they pose to you, and ultimately becoming food for you to obtain growth nutrients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As your strength grows, your speed of spawning troops will become faster and faster; where your consciousness points, extreme clamor arises, and all things wail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it is still possible to die suddenly during the development process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risk Factor: 3 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Speed: 10 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Potential: Infinite\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option Three: Counter-Black Tide Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making this choice, you will become a humanoid alien creature (one can observe that the majority of intelligent beings in the Monster World are humanoid; although there are obvious differences in features, the overall life structure tends toward a humanoid form); next, you need to participate in the Counter-Black Tide Legion's selection tournament and become a representative of your race to attend training at the Phase One Training Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to become a true warrior, you still need to pass the strict assessments of Training Camps Phase 1 through Phase 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process has a higher safety factor compared to the transmigration options of the Black Black Tide and the Insect Black Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a new recruit, you will receive protection from the Counter-Black Tide Legion, but after completing the final trial assessment, you will be sent to the fierce front-line battlefield, gaining opportunities for rapid growth, but the probability of dying in battle will also increase significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching this stage of growth, your safety factor is far lower than that of the evil spirits in the rear-commander Cultivation Mode, or even the Insect Race main brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there is also a possibility that you survive countless times in fierce wars, obtaining power comparable to that of a god through the War God Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risk Factor: 1-7 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Speed: 7 stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Potential: 9 stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option Four: Ancient God Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descending into the Monster World, you become a member of the Ancient God Race, obtaining the power of Fighting Souls by supervising the operation of the arena; although your clansmen are not numerous (this is my guess, as living beings encountered in several nearby seas seem to have never seen the appearance of Ancient God Race members, so I believe this race has a small population and follows an elite development path), every clansman has a relatively high starting point for growth and can be allocated Fighting Soul power to rapidly increase strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With servants doing the work, your days are very relaxed; you only need to glance at the arena's profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(There is no accurate intelligence, but I feel the safety factor of transmigrating as an Ancient God Race member is relatively high; small-scale wars do not require your personal participation, and you possess numerous servants you can command to fight for you.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risk Factor: 2 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Speed: 8 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Potential: Theoretically infinite (lower than the explicit infinity of the Terrifying Black Black Tide and Combat Insect Race; this is merely theoretical).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option Five: Soul-Return Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member of the Soul-Return Race, you possess the rule ability to scatter Soul-Shaping Seeds; any living being that becomes your enemy and is killed by you will be swallowed and possessed by a Soul Beast (reshaping a physical body); the Soul Beast legion you build must start developing from a weak faction, swallowing and copying one hostile faction after another, controlling a vast and diversified legion, while your main hostile faction is the Counter-Black Tide Legion, with the crisis of racial extinction arriving at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, you need to lie low and develop, accumulating as much strength as possible until you completely crush the Counter-Black Tide Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risk Factor: 6 stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Speed: 9 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Potential: Depends on the quality of opponents; theoretically infinite (invincible in favorable situations, beaten in unfavorable ones).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option Six: Jile Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You will become a new-generation warrior following the Lord of Jile, responsible for supervising multiple Jile branch node scenes, obtaining a portion of Jile Power energy by hunting other living beings in the Monster World (the bulk still must be taxed to the Lord of Jile, so you can only obtain a part of the Jile Power).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the other options, your survival risk factor is the lowest; you can hide in independent spatial scenes without needing to compete with external beings for growth resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Importantly, you can occasionally use Jile Power to entertain yourself and enjoy a thrill, hiding in the Jile spatial scenes to watch with a smile as various factions engage in bloody slaughter in the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you have hidden away until you are strong enough, you will follow the Lord of Jile to charge into the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risk Factor: 1 star\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Speed: 7 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Potential: 8 stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, let's add one more option with a higher starting identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option Seven: Mechanical Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This option is difficult to handle; becoming a Mechanical Overlord directly gives a starting point that is too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I specifically asked the Guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guide indicated that there are also node-commander type warriors within the Mechanical Legion, who can be called Low-Level Overlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the starting phase, as a transmigrated Low-Level Overlord, you gain the ability to become stronger by devouring metallic substances, and you can also receive \"Divine Metal\" (a type of active metal that can automatically repair itself; for a low-spec reference, think of the T-1000 from old movies) enlightened by rules from the Overlord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Overlord's assistance, your technological development can be described as changing with each passing day; new technologies enter your mind every day, allowing you to rapidly update your body's strength through these techniques and establish a vast mechanical legion to sweep in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risk Factor: 3 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Speed: 9 stars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Potential: Theoretically infinite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Option Eight: Heavenly Fire Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, you directly transmigrate to become the leader of the Heavenly Fire Race, the Heavenly Fire Dharma King (there is no other way; the starting points and potential of other races are too high, so this time you directly become the boss).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your starting phase already has a hunting level of 76, the highest starting point of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment before transmigration, the Heavenly Fire Dharma King had already initiated the plan to go to the Monster World; just as you descend, you possess the Heavenly Fire Dharma King and are forced to descend into the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, you will lead your race to clash with myriad racial factions in the Monster World, seeking methods for growth and breaking the deadlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this time you have descended into a true novice village; nearby factions are not very strong, but you are deeply aware that the outside world is fraught with danger and need to lead your race to develop rapidly as soon as possible to cope with future crises that may arrive at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only benefit is that the resources of the Monster World are abundant, and your growth speed, along with that of your clansmen, is far higher than when you were still in the Minor World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risk Factor: 10 stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Speed: 1 star\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development Potential: 1 star\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Special Achievements Obtained: Racial Leader, Certificate of the Brave (starting with the old, weak, sick, and disabled; Nightmare Cultivation Mode; highest difficulty overall).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above are the eight different faction identities I have set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, among these eight identity options, which identity would you choose to descend into the Monster World?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whichever choice you make carries the possibility of sudden death; after all, the environment of the Monster World is too complex, with myriad races standing tall and heroes carving out territories, so in the settings, the starting phase involves descending near relatively weak factions, belonging to a novice village environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone vote quickly; let me see what your thoughts are, and feel free to speak your mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comment Section:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close-Combat Dharma King: Isn't this a single-choice question? I definitely choose the Jile Race, where I can occasionally entertain myself and enjoy a thrill; hiding in the Jile space to be happy and carefree, constantly capturing living beings from other worlds to provide me with growth nutrients; the name Jile Race already explains everything—just be happy, that's it; as for the issue of development potential being lower than other factions... let's enjoy ourselves first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word Ma Ya: If it were me, I would definitely choose the Terrifying Black Black Tide; with a loyal Evil Eye following me, I would control the endless Black Black Tide and wipe you all out; the person above still wants to hide and have fun; when the time comes, I will forcefully invade the Jile Main Hall, throw you into the Black Black Tide, and then generate 100 Calamity-type burly men to let you feel the extreme pressure of calamity; what weakling deserves to have fun in the Monster World? Only my Black Black Tide can have fun; you all die; I want to see rivers of blood flow (Brick-Moving Party grins wickedly.jpg)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Small Actor: The setting for the Combat Insect Race is super cool, okay? You can collect pheromones, and the bred units continuously gain evolution; after I fight through countless racial factions and gain full abilities plus full attribute resistance, you won't even be able to kill one of my small soldiers; this trait guarantees invincibility; you can refer to the Heavenly Fire Battle back then; in the late stage, the Heavenly Fire Race's abilities were almost ineffective against the Insect Race; once I fight through all races, I will rule the world and become the invincible Insect King (Explorer has this in the bag.jpg)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strong Fatty: Definitely choose the Jile Race; the lower development potential compared to other factions is not a problem at all, okay? The background of the Monster World is too exciting; the probability of exploding to death is terrifyingly high, so survival is the primary element; as for development potential and speed, you need to have a life to develop in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the Star Core: I want to ask why no one chose the Heavenly Fire Race; being the leader of a faction and starting a lord conquest Cultivation Mode, isn't it great to start with farming from the beginning? (Smirk.jpg)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Wind Asking Not for Return replying to Beneath the Star Core: Very good; I choose the Insect Race to gnaw on you first; good luck to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advanced Age: I like the Soul-Return Race; take everything for me; the units you worked hard to cultivate, I inherit in seconds; the Soul Beasts feel like a pet system, capable of generating different pet types; theoretically, I can possess the units of all factions in the Monster World, with huge development potential; the only drawback might be that I cannot gnaw on the ground to develop rapidly like the Insect Black Tide and Black Black Tide, but I don't need to develop; my main focus is possessing and growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question raised by Night Approaching sparked heated discussion on the forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the Heavenly Fire Clan, which was added purely for entertainment, the other seven racial factions all possess limitless potential for development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every race holds one, or even multiple, external cheat rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, after transmigrating, they all follow a protagonist template, capable of rapid growth and strengthening, eventually forming a calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding which faction is more suitable for transmigration, players launched discussions from three dimensions: development speed, development risk, and development potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, much of it stemmed from players' personal subjective factors adding points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After multiple rounds of discussion, the final voting results were as follows:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Place: The Pleasure Clan (Absorbing Endless Power of Joy)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Place: The Terrifying Black Black Tide (Devouring Evolution, Infinite Unit Arsenal, Portable Evil Eye Assistance)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Place: The Combat Insect Swarm (Devouring, Pheromone Modification Evolution)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth Place: The Counter-Black Tide Legion (Early-stage Resource Support, Late-stage War Growth)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth Place: The Mechanical Legion (Infinite Repair, Transcendent Technology)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixth Place: The Ancient God Clan (Empowered by Soul-Battle Power)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventh Place: The Soul-Return Clan (Soul Beast Possession Inheritance)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighth Place: The Heavenly Fire Clan (No External Cheats)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vote also revealed the players' judgment on the strength of various factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, the faction ranked first in strength is the Terrifying Black Black Tide; this is the known strongest force in the Monster World, and highly probable to be the actual strongest faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, although Guidance, Yan Ming, Super Dimension, and Nine Yin slew all the Black Black Tide Demon Gods, this represented only a portion of the Black Black Tide Legion's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exact proportion remains unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what is certain is that during the Cataclysm War, the supreme deity behind the Terrifying Black Black Tide did not make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even with all the Demon Gods dead, the Black Black Tide still retains formidable combat power and is currently waging a super-war spanning worlds, with the Monster World being just one of the battlefields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference lies in the fact that, in the eyes of the Black Black Tide, the Monster World is the core battlefield, while other worlds are merely localized small conflicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next comes the Combat Insect Swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their evolutionary ability, achieved through collecting and modifying pheromones, allows them to counterattack even against the Terrifying Black Black Tide, even gaining advantages in localized wars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a racial faction with a single unit type or a single ability faces the Insect Swarm, they will inevitably feel endless despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the Heavenly Fire Dharma King; he could not comprehend how the technology developed over generations with exhaustive effort was analyzed and countered within mere days, becoming completely harmless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fear is not very clear from the players' perspective, but switching the viewpoint to the Heavenly Fire Clan reveals a bone-chilling coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling it a dimensional strike would not be an exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its growth potential has already exceeded the scope that the Heavenly Fire Clan can comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the foreseeable future, as the player legions continue to grow, some of the factions they encounter will sequentially exit the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is like a card game; those who lose all their chips are forced to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Terrifying Black Black Tide and the Combat Insect Swarm, these two factions with deep foundations and infinite chips, will always remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the players crush the Insect Swarm and the Black Black Tide at the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, this is merely an insignificant part of the vast military systems of the Black Black Tide and the Insect Swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher one goes on the World Stage, the greater the presence of these two factions becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from these two factions, all other factions are also highly potential, possessing infinite possibilities for development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Guidance's speculation, the fall of Di Zhao caused the connections between the rule nodes of the Monster World to break, leading to a hidden barrier shrouding the Monster World to gradually dissipate over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, the Monster World was completely exposed to the eyes of countless factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a super-world they have never seen before, containing countless rule territories capable of infinitely breeding resources, with a richness far beyond comparison to other worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless greedy gazes converged upon this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this, a massive number of factions flooded into the Monster World, establishing new clan territories here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some factions even initiated the transformation of the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the Terrifying Black Black Tide integrated the worlds it devoured into the Monster World, thereby expanding the Monster World's area and aiding its growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, some factions, upon descending, brought the core plates of their worlds to integrate into the Monster World, thus creating a home-field advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrival of countless factions turned the Monster World into a battlefield where numerous powerful clans clashed and plundered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who can truly ascend to the peak of the Monster World and become the next supreme deity similar to Di Zhao remains unknown for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this process, some factions will exit the stage, while new factions will appear with the ambition to conquer the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowledge, power, civilization, barbarism, technology, talent, rules... all converge and collide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an unprecedented transformation for the Monster World; countless factions are stirring, eager to climb to the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reviewing the players' comments on various factions, a magnificent scroll unfolded in Qi Sheng's mind, depicting an epic scene of warlords carving out territories and myriad races vying for supremacy, stirring a surge of heroic spirit within his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A magnificent new era is slowly unveiling its curtain, and the player legion he leads is bound to secure a place in this new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is confident that, stepping on the remains of countless powerful racial factions and with the aid of the player legion, he can ascend to that supreme divine throne once belonging to Di Zhao and rule the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Boss, I also have confidence in you; under the assistance of us four attendants, you will surely reshape the true self of Di Zhao and control boundless mighty power.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qi Sheng turned his head to look at Guidance and asked with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you? Do you have any dreams?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes. When you, Boss, inherit all of Di Zhao's power, help me restore my true form.

But undoubtedly, the Terrifying Black Black Tide is indeed the most powerful faction we know of... As for the future, who can know? Perhaps a faction stronger than the Black Black Tide will descend, or perhaps a rising star will surge with the Black Tide, trampling those powerful clans with deep foundations underfoot to become a new calamity-level faction.

Its pair of huge eyes resembled two lanterns in the darkness, its towering dorsal fin like a sail on a fishing boat swaying gently with the current, while its pair of massive pectoral fins seemed capable of raising giant waves with every sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the monster appeared, small marine life nearby, as if startled, began fleeing in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive mouth, filled with sharp teeth, opened at that moment; seawater rushed in as it bit down on nearby players with the force of Mount Tai crushing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After players activated their Analysis ability, information about the monster flooded their minds:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bei Ya (Second-Generation Primordial)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Level: 52\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Target Analysis: A Second-Generation Primordial monster possessing the \"Control\" characteristic;

one also had to consider factors such as the target's defense, ability strength, kill efficiency, and self-healing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often, high-Hunting-Level monsters could easily kill players in droves, while the players' attacks could only inflict minimal damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, in the late stages, every single level increase resulted in significant differences in combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level 52 Bei Ya was like the Black Wind Clan leader who had attacked the Colorful Mist Coast back then, able to move with effortless ease amidst the siege of the two clans' players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the attacks of the two clans' players were not entirely ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of special-effect Primordial abilities like Blood Ignition, Deadly Poison, Shatter, and Blade Ban could still penetrate the defense and inflict damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the great battle, the Gilled Fish Clan and Abyssal Fish Clan followed command arrangements, scattering separately to avoid being killed in groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactic drastically reduced Bei Ya's offensive lethality; each kill required it to adjust direction and find a new target, suppressing its attack efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the process of whittling down its health gave the players of the two clans a severe headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the fight, they discovered that Bei Ya's body possessed powerful self-healing abilities; wounds on its body would heal in no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was simply a nightmare for the health-whittling tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some players even attempted to bypass Bei Ya to touch the node crystal, hoping to contain the domain node first before considering killing Bei Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bei Ya gave the players of the two clans no such opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some players also proposed the Coral Tactic, luring Bei Ya into underwater coral clusters to restrict its attack and movement efficiency through terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Bei Ya still did not take the bait, always guarding the area near the domain node tightly and refusing to let players approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This behavior left the players of the two clans very puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they did not dwell on this issue; their core objective now was to kill Bei Ya and occupy the domain node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By observing Bei Ya's fighting style, a player in the voice channel proposed a tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Parasite Tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactic was proposed by a human clan strategy guide player named \"Hot Spring Boiled Egg\" on the forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the post, Hot Spring Boiled Egg hypothesized a combat method usable under specific conditions, which he called the Parasite Style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three prerequisites for using this tactic, all related to the enemy's settings: a giant beast, powerful self-healing ability, and the absence of aura-type or domain-type continuous damage abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tactical plan was for players possessing the \"Thirst for Blood\" imprint to cling like parasites to the injured parts of the giant beast, using the continuous blood-draining effect of the Thirst for Blood imprint to prevent wound healing and inflict continuous damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players with the means could also pair this with other special-effect style Soul Souls to enhance the damage effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactic was just one of many proposed by the player Hot Spring Boiled Egg on the forum; it had low discussion Redu  and basically received no attention, quickly sinking without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But among those present, there was one Gilled Fish Clan member who had seen that post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shared the post link in the voice channel, hoping everyone would try this tactic, suggesting it might be possible to suppress Bei Ya's powerful self-healing ability through parasitism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commanders of the Gilled Fish Clan and Abyssal Fish Clan, understanding the tactical plan, acted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They grouped players within the warband who possessed the \"Thirst for Blood\" Soul Soul and launched a parasitic offensive against Bei Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the difficulty of attaching was incredibly high; players kept dying while approaching, but eventually, some managed to successfully attach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like barnacles adhering to a whale's surface, they used bandages released by their Thirst for Blood Soul Soul bodies to wrap around each other and secure their positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this, the commanders in the voice channel began ordering the players of the two clans to narrow their attack range to avoid killing their own allies who were in a parasitic state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactic indeed worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was barely manageable, under the suppression of the Thirst for Blood imprints, Bei Ya's self-healing ability was severely restricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damage on its surface could not heal, and the rhythm of battle accelerated accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when fewer than 500 players remained, the massive Bei Ya monster crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining players cheered excitedly, celebrating this hard-won victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Challenger Prompt sounded at that moment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Prompt (All Channels): Congratulations to player warbands: Power of the Gilled Fish and Abyssal Fish Entering the Sea for successfully containing the Second-Generation Primordial monster;

Why are you starting to play with multiple Soul Souls?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We Monster Style players focus on fighting in Soul Soul form; what does it matter how many Soul Souls we play with? Besides, we cultivate at most three Soul Souls. If we contain monster Soul Souls sufficient for sea, land, and air tri-phibious combat in the future, we will definitely switch back to a single Soul Soul and decompose the others. Unlike you Main Body Inheritance Style players who will have a huge pile of Soul Souls in the future, the cultivation difficulty is imaginable; just thinking about it makes me tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bei Ya is so handsome;

at level 52, it could grow to nearly 20 meters in length, its massive volume truly giving the immediate sensation of a ferocious underwater beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with Bei Ya's fierce performance in the battle video, Monster Style players fell in love with it at first sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as players were discussing the new Soul Soul, the remaining players in front of the Crystal Palace were excitedly picking up the lobsters and crab meat left behind by the great battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all spiritual ingredients; they could be listed on the Exchange Row to sell for money, or consumed directly to gain Body Tempering experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These materials were all extra gains from this seabed great battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After collecting all the spiritual food, they entered the Crystal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Crystal Palace stood a massive monster skeleton; analysis information indicated this was bone left behind after the death of an underwater ferocious beast, and it even mentioned that the owner of the remains had once raised Bei Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the players of the two groups realize that perhaps Bei Ya's behavior of manipulating sea creatures to protect the Crystal Palace domain node was related to the owner of this skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This behavior was like guarding a tomb, allowing the bones to be preserved under the nourishment of energy as a form of remembrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was merely a hypothesis derived from piecing together fragmented clues; the specific reason remained unknown to the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that could be confirmed was that the owner of this massive skeleton was definitely not Bei Ya's mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, according to the Guide's explanation, the Primordial Monsters possess no bloodline kinship; each Primordial Monster is an independent individual and shares no bloodline connection with any living being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing deeper into the palace, the players of the two clans finally spotted the floating node crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the leading player reached out and touched the node crystal, the node was instantly covered from bottom to top by a layer of scarlet power, transforming into a scarlet crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black speck formed above the crystal, spinning rapidly and expanding until it enveloped the entire Crystal Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the spaces of Emperor Tomb Village and Colorful Mist Coast trembled, their areas expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expansion ratio between the two spaces was 9:1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, for every new domain node contained, Emperor Tomb Village claimed ninety percent of the area, while one percent was allocated to the Colorful Mist Coast space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This setting was also something Qi Sheng had considered for future development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor Tomb Village space was the core, while the Colorful Mist Coast space was merely an affiliated branch;
