aside from the final battle before the territory was contained, players could happily farm various types of fragile evil spirits within the Evil Moon Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that it was on its own turf, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit had evolved into what players saw as the Earth Chant Bully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A masterful display of the Backlash Tactic unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To quote the forum player Night Falls: \"A squad struggles for half a day, watching an evil spirit drop to low health and seemingly within reach, only for it to turn around, trigger a backlash, and revive at full health.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactic made players utterly despise it, especially lone-wolf squads; it was nothing short of a nightmare in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting the Black Black Tide required constant vigilance, and squads had to be equipped with support units possessing binding soul spirits to impose restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, a single successful backlash could ruin a player's entire day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all evil spirit systems, the Calamity-type and Plague-type were considered the most shameless by players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What annoyed players most was that the Earth Chant Bully's tactics were highly targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During its eastward horizontal expansion, the Earth Chant Bully deployed massive numbers of Calamity-type and Plague-type units along both flanks of the front line, like two rows of guards protecting the offensive units in the central zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forum players dubbed these two defensive barriers \"city walls\" or \"green belts\"; players simply could not farm evil spirits here as freely as they had in the Evil Moon Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Chant Evil Spirit's specific combat strategy involved the central main force pushing forward horizontally, while the Calamity-type and Plague-type units on the flanks moved alongside to construct defensive ramparts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every step the central main force advanced, the Calamity-type units pushed forward in tandem, acting as a veritable firewall against the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the players' primary directions of operation began to diverge after the Earth Chant Bully returned to the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Operations were mainly divided into four directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority of novices returned to the Winter Snowfield region, beginning their clumsy skirmishes against the Bliss Purple Black Tide and the Bliss Insect Black Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With players providing combat training, the development of the Bliss Lord's two major legion-style factions had recently accelerated rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, the Bliss Warrior's methods for controlling the Bliss Insect Black Tide and the Bliss Purple Black Tide were continuously refined, achieving breakthrough progress in controllability; control shifted from constantly switching single-direction commands to linked control, where one order caused an entire group of Purple Black Tide warriors to act in sync.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to the genuine Black Black Tide and Insect Black Tide, which allowed for precise multi-tasking control, there was still no comparison whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players gained improvements through the Purple Black Tide, while the Bliss Lord treated the Winter Snowfield as a training ground, using profits from the Bliss Palace to subsidize warfare and technological research in the snowfield region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast to the Earth Chant Evil Spirit, which grew at a terrifying pace and possessed horrifying battlefield dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Welfare Lord, seen by players as hardworking and eager to learn yet perpetually poor in results, firmly held the number one spot on the forum's \"Most Liked Villain\" ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a villain, weak yet diligent, exuded a unique charisma in the eyes of the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely the origin of the title \"Welfare Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly hardworking and eager to learn, the Earth Chant Bully, with its endless array of nauseating tactics, fell far short in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being eager to learn was a good thing, but once the grades actually improved, the players would no longer be happy about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, the Welfare Lord truly distributed welfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second batch of players consisted mostly of squads and small teams; their primary operational direction was the Shu Yan Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Outer Domain Heavenly Demon described in Shu Yan's stories, it defined players as chaotic evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They frequently interfered with the normal functioning of the world, tempting cultivators to fall into the abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire framework of the story had now divided into three factions: the warriors controlled by Shu Yan were the protagonists resisting the Upper Realm in the tale, the Ascended Clan were the undisputed great villains of the Heavenly Realm, and the players were fiends who ignored both heroes and villains, striking from the Outer Domain whenever an opportunity arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of players, known as the Outer Domain Heavenly Demons, enjoyed highly unstable returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally they could kill a dying Ascended warrior and reap huge profits; occasionally they could gain custom Shu Yan warriors by controlling soul spirits; and sometimes they gained nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third batch of players was also located in the Colorful Mist Coast region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, like clocking in for work, they waited by the coast at the crack of dawn for the bus to start their shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the morning light first appeared, the Ancient God Clan's shuttle would arrive to pick people up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players on the shore, eager and clamoring, signed up enthusiastically; those selected could proceed to the Ancient God Arena to begin a pleasant journey of clearing stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, players sent to the Ancient God Arena, unless their luck was exceptionally poor, could secure decent returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current highest record had already reached five victories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of players, enthusiastic about the arena, also constituted the segment of the entire player legion with the finest combat skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had even applied on the forum to create a sub-forum, where they daily discussed various Star Vein combinations for boosting combat power and methods for honing combat techniques; the sub-forum featured daily updates of duel videos, with many players participating in critiques and offering suggestions for improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like a group of players in a competitive game who only loved playing ranked matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the sub-forum's social circle, screenshots of real-time rank updates were also posted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players with one victory were called Bronze Players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players with two victories were called Silver Players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players with three victories were called Gold Players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players with four victories were called Diamond Players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players holding the current highest record of five victories were called Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With clear milestones for victory establishing a chain of contempt, clearance screenshots were displayed on players' personal profile pages, making it easy to distinguish strength from weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competitive atmosphere in the sub-forum's social circle was intense; besides human players, a large influx of Night Demon Clan and Giant Python Clan players had recently joined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like these human players, they too felt a strong longing for such hot-blooded competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This marked the first time the Giant Python Clan and Night Demon Clan had humbly sought to understand combat techniques resulting from combinations of soul spirit traits, hoping thereby to improve their killing abilities in the Ancient God Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that troubled this group of players was that the number of qualifications issued daily by the Ancient God Clan could never meet demand; being able to play one ranked match a day was already considered very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with poor luck might not be able to enter the Ancient God Arena even once over several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing their daily clock-in on the shore, players who did not enter the arena's matchmaking Cultivation Mode would proceed to the sea regions to hunt and grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth batch of players formed the absolute main force of the player legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Composed of major guilds and powerful small groups, they developed horizontally alongside the Earth Chant Bully in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever the Earth Chant Bully annihilated a minor faction during its eastward expansion and prepared to devour that faction's stockpiled resources, the players and the insect clan would decisively intervene to intercept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They forcibly joined the table to share the dishes, or even snatched food right from the Earth Chant Bully's bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when domain nodes appeared, they were absolutely contested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal of this player group was clear: besides absorbing sacrificial power by killing evil spirits, their actions were also intended to curb the growth of the Earth Chant Bully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, the Earth Chant Bully grew too fast; if they could cause trouble, they would not let the opportunity slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving in tacit understanding with the insect clan, sandwiching the Black Black Tide as they expanded horizontally, they would occasionally stop in the middle to switch into brawl Cultivation Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side was the combat insect clan, growing in sync like a stubborn plaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side was the player clan, shameless and inexhaustible; even if temporarily defeated, they would return again before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from cursing, the Earth Chant Bully had no effective countermeasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond these four main development models, the player legion also contained many gameplay factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, there were the Fishing Party players who engaged in high-intensity fishing in the sea regions year-round and then showed off their catches in the forum's fishing section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day in the forum's fishing section, experiences were exchanged regarding bait usage, crafting of fishing gear, and fishing techniques... this group also served as the primary suppliers of spiritual food in the Transaction Row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual food resources produced by players of other factions were extremely scarce; everything relied on these fishing enthusiasts to provide the massive supplementation of spiritual food needed to restore stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the Fishing Party players, there was a clear chain of contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although all engaged in sea fishing, the comparison of equipment and the comparison of catch grades were fiercely competitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Fishing Party player's forum personal profile necessarily displayed their highest hunted-grade catch, and it had to be a joint photo of them holding the catch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, there was the continuously growing number of Exploration Party players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gene for adventure was carved into the bones of many players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Climbing towering peaks that pierced the clouds, overlooking magnificent mountains and rivers... following the steps of exploration, they always unearthed unique joys; this happiness lay in their pursuit of the unknown, a wonderful experience unique to the eyes of Exploration Party players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exploration Party players were also the primary producing group for the \"Enlightenment Information Orbs\" at the current stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recent updates had provided this group of players with channels to earn extra returns, adding a bit more joy to their journeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were the Spiritual Chef players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cooking delicious dishes from recipes, or even researching new dishes not recorded in any recipe, was the pursuit of this group of players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small cluster of players held significant meaning in the eyes of all players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They added an extra portion of happiness to life in the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the spiritual food made by spiritual chefs in the Transaction Row was priced on the high side, every consumption brought buyers a dual, ultimate enjoyment of both body and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many other minor classified faction gameplay styles, such as Arms Dealers, Alchemists... all factions together constructed the current player legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their gameplay differed, all were contributing their own strength to the development of the player legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Operating from behind the scenes, while observing the development of the player legion, Qi Sheng was also recording information produced by players in real-time, gathering directions for updates and optimization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, he was preparing to implement a major update to the teaming Cultivation Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the current stage, lone-wolf players remained the largest group in the game; encountering special operations often required calling for people in the channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to launch a convenient teaming function based on player demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would primarily satisfy player needs from two directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first function was posting teaming requirements; players could publish specific needs, exact action times, and requirements for recruited players on the teaming interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gather at Emperor Tomb Mountain Range tomorrow at 8 AM to fight evil spirits; requiring Stone Statue Flow players, Main Soul Spirit Level (x), Average Soul Spirit Level (x).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players meeting the conditional requirements could directly join the squad via recruitment and communicate with the recruiting players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second function was the Regional Teaming List.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When encountering sudden situations, players did not need to shout in the regional channel; they simply needed to open the teaming interface, filter by conditions for the direction of activity, and could precisely locate the player squads wishing to execute that sudden activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this function, squad leaders who activated teaming Cultivation Mode could also set conditional filters to weed out players who did not meet the requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the convenient party-formation feature, player growth speed can be significantly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reduces time spent on party communication, precisely locking onto target groups desired for recruitment, or accurately finding player parties with identical needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The specific implementation plan has not yet been finalized; Shen Wang intends to launch this feature during the next update.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted at this moment to the player's perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging Black Black Tide halted its expansion and began constructing corrosion nodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the players' expansion did not pause; they continued pushing eastward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Warband Cultivation Mode, Shen Wang was conducting battlefield command within the chat channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Brain Overclock Cultivation Mode, he was aided as if by a god; after rapidly analyzing terrain, player conditions, and a series of other factors through his perception, he issued effective decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After harvesting a batch of spiritual plants along the way, Shen Wang issued an order:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone rest, restock at the Mall, and recover your status.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the order was given, the player warbands still advancing immediately halted and scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some players lit bonfires to roast fresh spiritual food, some purchased finished spiritual meals from the Exchange Row to enjoy delicious flavors, and others sat on the ground browsing forum information to pass the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wang, serving as the warband commander, also came to an open area and sat down, taking a spiritual food meal out of his Spatial Sack to devour heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the spiritual food, he raised his head to look at the churning Black Black Tide in the distance, a trace of helplessness floating in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having played games for so many years, he had always participated in game campaigns in the capacity of a commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Land of Sin, he was a human commander ranked within the top 20, having participated in countless battles large and small, including clashes between human guilds and engagements against foreign guilds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Campaigns, he was a human commander ranked within the top ten, with multiple highlight battles recorded by officials and remembered by many veteran players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the first time in a game, he felt a strong sense of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clashed with the Earth Mania Bully as soon as it descended, organizing player warbands to seize domain nodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their initial engagement, the Earth Mania Bully's understanding of the players was zero, allowing him to successfully capture two domain nodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the Cloud Field Domain Node and the Magic Fall Pit Domain Node, which had already been contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after that, the Earth Mania Bully's growth was rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling he got was that his tactics had been completely seen through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever he wanted to do, the Earth Mania Bully could anticipate in advance, then design traps waiting for him to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that a significant gap had already opened up between himself and the Earth Mania Bully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this gap was continuing to widen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, having obtained the super command Soul Soul \"Brain Overclock,\" his command ability should have leaped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, it had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after he obtained Brain Overclock, the Earth Mania Bully's growth was even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brain Overclock not only failed to narrow the gap in command ability between him and the Earth Mania Bully, but as time passed, the gap continued to expand further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a talent monster like the Earth Mania Bully, what surged in his heart was not anger, but an indescribable sense of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All efforts appeared pale and powerless in the Iron Face of the Earth Mania Bully's talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was clearly trying very hard to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, he spent five hours reading forum guides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The detailed performance effects of every Soul Soul, the pros and cons of every Star Vein combination, the latest Star Vein pairings... including the recently updated Enlightenment Mall, with the specific effects of its 688 buff states, he had studied in detail, all to skillfully utilize the strengths of his own players on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides understanding his own faction's capabilities, he also browsed the Evil Bestiary to learn information about the evil creature types of the Earth Mania Bully's faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, \"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles\"; he had indeed done exactly that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his efforts brought no sense of achievement; in every subsequent confrontation, he could feel the power gap continuing to widen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustration washed over him like a Black Tide, drowning the pride in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although helpless, he had no thought of giving up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a player, his future held too many possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps in the future, a super Soul Soul similar to \"Brain Overclock\" would appear, granting his command ability a significant boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the Shentang Society under his leadership was still expanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Earth Mania Bully's Black Black Tide was growing, the number of players in his Shentang Society was also increasing daily, and those recruited were all elite players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, with several other major societies coordinating during every operation, their comprehensive strength growth had not fallen behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the only shortcoming was that his command ability could not keep up with the Earth Mania Bully, and as the number of players grew, the pressure on command intensity increased day by day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Monster World fully opened qualifications in the future, the wars he would have to command would likely be on a scale of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not even imagine how to command a war of such scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had discussed this issue with his brothers in the livestream room, joking that his ability was ultimately limited and that he would probably fail to keep up with the escalation of war scales in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a tourist in the livestream room did provide him with a line of thinking to solve the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tourist's code was \"1,\" obviously the first unqualified player to log into the Monster World official website as a tourist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the livestream room, he proposed a command suggestion based on a decentralized structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Break the warband into multiple command groups, grant decentralized authority, have high-level commanders responsible for strategic decisions, mid-level commanders responsible for tactical layouts, and grassroots commanders responsible for specific execution, transmitting information layer by layer through the broken-down voice channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This did give him inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the concept of a modular group command Cultivation Mode was entirely feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the current scale of fifty thousand, such detail wasn't necessary, but for future world-class wars, his Eagle Head Demon perception would be unable to cover the entire battlefield; many unseen areas would require decentralized unified command to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did not dwell on this problem, as when full opening would occur was still unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that time, very powerful players would surely appear, and he might not still possess the supreme command authority over the player legions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for now, with the boost from Brain Overclock, he still had spare capacity to command a scale of fifty thousand; any scale beyond that would require leveling up both the Eagle Head Demon and the Brain Overclock Soul Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting his tableware away into his Spatial Sack, Shen Wang once again raised his head to look at the churning Black Black Tide in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the expansion actions of these past two days, they had clashed with three minor clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The analysis information indicated that these three minor clans were all Descended Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Shen Wang did not feel there was any problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a detailed understanding of the power structure of the Pale Continent region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, any faction with some strength on the Pale Continent had joined the Counter-Black Tide Legion and obtained its protection; those remaining outside were basically all Descended Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the process of advancing with the Black Black Tide, he also discovered a very bizarre phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three factions all viewed the other two as opponents, yet whenever an obstructing faction appeared during expansion, all three factions would turn their guns to attack the obstructing faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Descended Faction \"Ghost Lodging Clan\" that had just blocked their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the players' proactive assault, the Ghost Lodging Clan resisted fiercely, forcing them to actively retreat several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Earth Mania Bully manipulated the Black Black Tide to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the players, the Earth Mania Bully simply ignored them, focusing entirely on devouring the Ghost Lodging Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Earth Mania Bully begin to devour and grow, he, who had originally intended to clash with the Black Black Tide, decisively turned his guns as well, issuing orders for the warband players to continue attacking the Ghost Lodging Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he thought in his heart was: for every one they kill, the Earth Mania Bully can swallow one less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, since evil creatures are all poor mobs, facing the Ghost Lodging Clan whose numbers were equally astonishing, the profit difference between hunting and killing the two was threefold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether for the sake of countering the Black Black Tide or choosing maximum profit maximization, the Ghost Lodging Clan was the optimal target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Earth Mania Bully's thinking was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its eyes, players couldn't even be described as poor mobs; fighting them yielded only negative returns with no energy output whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the \"tender and delicious\" Ghost Lodging Clan, players were more like waste that possessed combat power but dissolved into the air upon death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to choose between the two was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Insect Clan only knew how to bury their heads and kill blindly, they would also turn their guns when facing devourable targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Insect Clan warriors had no brains, the Mastermind behind the Insect Clan possessed wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind their brutality and bloodthirstiness, they also understood how to weigh profits and losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the bizarre scene of all three factions turning their guns outward emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as the obstructing factions were cleared, the mutual brawling between the three factions would begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To seize the resources of the obstructing factions, they would fight fiercely, delivering deadly blows to the other two factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Earth Mania Bully's application of tactics was already divine; all he could do was try to minimize clear combat orders, creating chaos and uncertainty within the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any order with clear intent was easily countered by the Earth Mania Bully, instead causing even more losses for his own players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the previous assassin position-swap explosion was countered by the Earth Mania Bully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another example was his order to change the front-line damage-soaking players, which the Earth Mania Bully seized as an opportunity to complete the backlash remodeling of its own front-line damage-soaking unit types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many other similar cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to playing tactics, he was simply no match for the Earth Mania Bully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, his current combat strategy had only one point: try to utilize the chaotic and disordered nature of the players, launching attacks against the Black Black Tide through a semi-free war Cultivation Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of command, he now resembled more of a resource dispatcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the battlefield through the Eagle Head Demon's perception, he then reminded different small teams of players: health is unhealthy and needs replenishing, watch out for evil creature ambushes and defend, remember to harvest when the opponent is low on health, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had transformed from a unified commander into a reminder robot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a commander, having fallen to such a state, he sighed in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a feeling of frustration akin to studying hard and striving vigorously, only to be pinned to the ground and ruthlessly rubbed by a talent monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, a voice sounded in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, we've spotted a Sixth-Generation Primordial (Primordial_screenshot.jpg)!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled from his thoughts, the God-King's heart skipped a beat; he immediately used his consciousness to tap the screenshot, enlarging the image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lord (Sixth-Generation Primordial)]:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Level: 129.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Introduction: A Primordial monster possessing Lord characteristics; it can gain ability amplification by occupying territories (Territory Markers).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image was sent by a guild brother scouting ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was set in an area not yet swallowed by the Black Black Tide, boasting beautiful scenery, where the player who took the screenshot appeared incredibly tiny within the frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord in the image stood over a hundred meters tall with a humanoid appearance, standing before a mountain peak and looking down upon the players below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, it resembled a colossal tower erected upon the earth; its azure skin stretched tight over bulging muscles, with muscle lines like cast steel, the undulations between them resembling mountain ridges or resilient armor, flowing with a strange dim light, while its arms were as thick as giant pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its most prominent feature was the dense white beard on its chin, hanging down like cascading waterfalls, giving the whole figure a profound sense of age and vicissitudes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the guild brother say it was a Sixth-Generation Primordial, the God-King instantly perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he clicked the screenshot and saw the Hunting Level, most of the enthusiasm in his heart extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the Hunting Level of this Primordial monster was truly too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The average main Life-Soul combat level of players across several guilds combined was 49.6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monster strength of level 129 simply could not be suppressed through numerical superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that even if the warband brothers made their move, breaking its defense would be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, should we give it a try?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A curious inquiry from a guild brother came through the voice channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can we try? Do you think we have the strength to handle a level 129 monster?\" the God-King retorted irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if we give up, the path of horizontal expansion will be blocked; this Sixth-Generation Primordial is intercepting the road right in the middle. If we want to expand eastward, we must swallow it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the guild brother's reply, the God-King fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To take down a boss of this level, many factors needed consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most critical factor among them was the Primordial monster's health regeneration speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some monsters possessed extremely high regeneration capabilities; every breath could absorb free-floating energy from the air, causing their health bars to rise. Even if one could barely break their defense, little effective damage could be dealt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could theoretically use numerical superiority combined with the Blood-Burn Life-Soul to directly burn the monster's health bar and deal true damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, true damage was not percentage-based; the damage effect was limited and might not exceed the monster's regeneration speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More critically, Blood-Burn was essentially a buff-enhancement characteristic; using it to deal damage was merely a usage method developed by players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A level 129 Sixth-Generation Primordial was already terrifyingly strong; adding the amplification effect of the Blood-Burn characteristic would make it even more unplayable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a Lord was not like those useless wastes in the Hall of Extreme Bliss who were incapable of tying a chicken, completely addicted to falling into pleasure, and would not counterattack even when players attacked Iron Face-to-Iron Face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Providing an amplification effect to a level 129 monster would make it increasingly terrifying, and casualties on their side would inevitably skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the tactic of using Blood-Burn to deal true damage was clearly unfeasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Life-Link and Blood-Reflection Life-Souls, the prerequisite for these two Life-Souls was not being killed in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When facing high-Hunting-Level monsters like \"Lords\" that could easily one-shot players, the characteristic effects of these two Life-Souls made no difference whether one had them or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the only effective means was to use effect-stream Life-Souls like Deadly Poison, Forbidden Blade, and Soul-Separation to stack damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the most useful should be \"Wither,\" one of the newest magic-system Life-Souls; this was currently the only effect-stream Life-Soul capable of infinitely stacking damage effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the premise was being able to withstand the Lord's terrifying output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The complete crush in Hunting Levels plunged the God-King into deep thought, pondering how to formulate an effective boss-pushing tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst surging thoughts, he suddenly thought of a possibility, then summoned the guild chat group: Peak of Players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-King: (Sixth-Generation Primordial screenshot) Anyone interested in taking down this Primordial?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wo-Si-Ni-Die: God-King, are you crazy? How can we swallow this thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Wing: Damn, I got excited seeing a Sixth-Generation Primordial, but after clicking to see the Hunting Level, it felt like eating a huge pile of shit. I'd love to kill it, but my strength doesn't allow it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May the Imperial Prince Bless You: Seeing the Hunting Level, my brain automatically popped up the tactic of using Blood-Burn for true damage, then suddenly realized that applying Blood-Burn to this thing is just asking for death. We can't beat it already; with Blood-Burn, we definitely can't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually-There-Is-A-Master: God-King, have you been depressed lately, wanting to vent the anger from being tortured by the Earth-Concept Bully on a Sixth-Generation Primordial? But the problem is, us brothers don't have the ability to vent your anger either. I feel you're making things difficult for me; at level 129, we really can't even pretend to compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Salted-Fish-That-Can't-Turn-Over: I'm in, provided we know how to win. I feel Dog-God-King must have an idea; hurry up and speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-King: Let me ask first, how many Custom Shu-Yan Warriors do you have on hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wo-Si-Ni-Die: Our guild has three, but these three are our guild's treasures! If they die, I could cry for three days. We worked so hard to catch them. Not joining, not joining, I can't afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May the Imperial Prince Bless You: Dog-God-King, our guild only has two Custom Shu-Yan; we usually can't bear to bring them to the battlefield. They are currently resting in the Emperor Tomb Space. Not joining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic Fourteen Methods: I'm currently bringing one, with two stored in the Emperor Tomb Village space. If you really want to gamble, I'm in with you. Brother, I know you've been suffering lately; I'll give my full support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cat-Small-d-Happy: Let's count how many there are. If we have a numerical advantage, let's gamble. Leaving them in the space just lets them gather dust. Don't treat Custom Shu-Yan Warriors like treasures; this is the time to use them. If they die, we can just ask Shu-Yan for more. We are all Outer-Domain Heavenly Demons now; catching two Shu-Yan Warriors is no problem, it fits the story setting (slippery.jpg).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-King: Actually, I don't want to fight either, but mainly because this Sixth-Generation Primordial is blocking our path forward. To continue advancing, this Sixth-Generation Primordial must be cleared, otherwise, we'll be stuck on this road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic Fourteen Methods: If it's blocking the expansion path, shouldn't the Earth-Concept Bully make a move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-King: Not necessarily. It's intercepting our line; the Earth-Concept Bully is above us and unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the exchange, the guild masters of the major guilds began counting the number of Shu-Yan Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the statistical data reached the God-King's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the major guilds, including those in his own hands, there were a total of 32 Shu-Yan Warriors, with an average combat level of 91.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether their combined combat strength could take down the Sixth-Generation Primordial \"Lord\" seemed a bit dubious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the level gap was only 38 levels, but this 38-level gap didn't even count as a single life grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like back when the Black-Wind Clan Chief, at level 50-something, suppressed and slaughtered a group of level 20-something players at the Colorful-Mist Coast; the gap in life grades brought about a qualitative change in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to attempt pushing the boss, the God-King decided via voting, casting an affirmative vote himself first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the voting results were out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final decided result was to gamble the lives of all Shu-Yan Warriors and make one attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the major guilds began contacting members, including those powerful player squads, who were also recruited via contact to participate in this boss-pushing operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shu-Yan Warriors, stored in the Emperor Tomb Village space and standing guard on the streets, were also brought one by one to the assembly point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As evening approached, the sun gradually retracted its dazzling light, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clouds on the horizon layered upon layered, transforming into various wondrous shapes under the reflection of the setting sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the God-King's command, the player team advanced toward the location of the Sixth-Generation Primordial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, a body as massive as a mountain range appeared in the warband players' field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it with one's own eyes felt completely different from looking at a screenshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord's body, towering over a hundred meters, brought a strong visual shock to the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a colossal statue stretching across the earth, its bulging muscles, each block like a giant rock, were filled with bursting power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscle lines of its thick arms resembled winding pythons, rising and falling with movement; the broad back muscles were like continuous mountain ranges, supporting its massive body, looking impregnable, while its leg muscles were even thicker than stone pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wild and fierce aura rushed toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squad voice channels within the warband instantly exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God-King had introduced in advance that they were facing a level 129 Sixth-Generation Primordial monster, but the visual impact brought by seeing it directly was exceptionally intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even made many players feel an abnormal sense of their own tininess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was not a shred of fear in the players' hearts; shock aside, when it came to killing, they would not be soft-handed in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God-King also issued the attack command at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone scatter, spread out as much as possible, free output!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless players scattered in all directions like a Black Tide, increasing the distance between them to avoid excessive casualties at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skills released by magic-system players rose into the sky like brilliant fireworks, falling straight onto the Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the entire warband, only the Gargoyle players did not unleash their abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a boss whose strength far surpassed their own, charging for the Damage-Taking Gargoyle stream became meaningless; all they could do was spread out, occupy a position to be attacked, and strive to absorb one death for the warband, slowing down the rate of their side's losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Gargoyle-stream player in the voice channel self-mocked: \"Right now, I'm just cannon fodder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the players' fierce offensive, the Lord, which had its eyes closed, suddenly opened them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its stern Iron Face looked exceptionally majestic; a pair of huge eyes resembled burning blue flames, revealing endless murderous light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enduring round after round of attacks from the magic-system players, small flames constantly splashed up on its body, yet it remained unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players' attacks at this moment were like mosquito bites, unable to move it in the slightest; it still stood majestically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the Lord's brows furrowed slightly, seeming somewhat impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slightly opened its mouth, and instantly the surrounding air was frantically stirred, forming a huge vortex surging like seawater pouring backward; sand, stones, and dust on the ground were enveloped by a powerful suction force, converging into the Lord's mouth at extreme speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its chest was like a bottomless black hole, continuously absorbing everything around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a deafening roar, the sound was like an invisible shockwave, spreading out toward the players with the force of overturning mountains and seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, sand flew and rocks danced, and a wild wind howled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if thousands of giant beasts were roaring simultaneously, shaking the nearby players' eardrums painfully; players who were closer hadn't even had time to exclaim \"Holy crap\" before being instantly sent to the Little Black Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that a single wave of offense had caused hundreds of player casualties on their side, the God-King decisively spoke up, signaling the crowd to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he requested the warband players to continue spreading out, increasing the distance between their positions, while magic-system players continued their output to stack the Wither characteristic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shu-Yan Warriors also made their move at this time, surrounding the Lord from different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Book Speech Warrior charging at the very front was slapped flying by the Lord in a single exchange, immediately entering a heavily injured state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the players' constant harassment, the Lord was clearly enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowly raised its arm; that thick limb resembled a pillar holding up the sky, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sudden sweep of its massive hand, tremendous power surged out like a violent Black Tide, creating sonic booms in the air. Wherever the gale struck, players' bodies flew backward uncontrollably like kites with severed strings, sliced to death by sharp wind blades mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord's right leg, which had always stood firmly on the ground, suddenly lifted and smashed down. The earth immediately rumbled with a dull boom as the leg pierced through the ground. Cracks spread outward from the impact point like a spiderweb, extending toward the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike seemed poised to shatter the earth, triggering an earthquake that knocked many magic-based players to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resulting shockwave caused yet another wave of player deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, only the Book Speech Warriors could withstand the energy shockwaves released by the Lord's every move, yet even they struggled immensely when engaging the Lord head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the players' relentless harassment, it was evident that the Lord's rage value was rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its furious state, flames burned within the Lord's eyes; its gaze was like a tangible blade, instilling an intense sense of oppressive death wherever it swept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, exclamations continuously rang out in the President's chat channel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap, God King, is this thing really something we can fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is this? The damage output is ridiculously high; we'd probably need to invite a Champion Fighter to subdue it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Wither stacks have already reached layer 29, but this health bar is dropping way too slowly. Adding the Wither stacks from other magic-based players, it must be in the tens of thousands. How many more layers do we need to stack before it starts taking real damage? I'm afraid we can't hold on much longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this first encounter, the Lord's performance filled the players with despair.
