Chapter 279: Upheaval in the Underground World, Descent of the Divine Lamp (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Lord of Bliss's idea was quickly applied to reality.

However, this was limited to top-tier Bliss players who had already graduated from the Death Space and were active in the Monster World.

Among the player community, three players received a "Hidden Quest" issued by the Lord of Bliss; upon returning to the Death Space, they were bestowed with Rule-Derived Imprints.

The first thing these three players did was ask the Guide whether they could craft this Rule-Derived Imprint into a Fate Soul.

But the situation was similar to the Artifact Clan's derived imprints from before.

Essentially, a Rule-Derived Imprint was merely a node generated by the "Bliss Rules," with control over the rules still resting in the hands of the Lord of Bliss.

One could consume Sacrificial Power to simulate the circulation of Bliss Power and generate a Fate Soul, but the cost was enormous and entirely unnecessary.

However, the existence of this Rule Imprint also provided Dungeon-Party players with a method to leverage the Bliss Rules to gain extra profits.

The key point was that a player's body possessed no possibility of having its power extracted externally.

The energy profits created by players using the Bliss-Derived Rules could be enjoyed solely by the players; no matter what the Lord of Bliss did, he could not extract a single fraction of profit from it.

Qi Sheng's setting was to continue taking a cut according to a 30:70 ratio.

Although the Lord of Bliss could not take a cut, he still had to.

He had to take a portion of all profits produced by the players.

This included the Faith Power produced by the Divine Grail Fate Soul used by the Park Director; he had similarly set up a deduction for that.

Secondly, these three forum players also posted on the forum, seeking help from the vast player base on how to utilize the Bliss-Derived Rule Imprints to create profits.

They had also asked the Guide, but for questions requiring detailed, hand-holding instruction, the Guide typically paid no attention.

Furthermore, the "transforming into Heavenly Demons and bewitching all living beings" spoken of by the Lord of Bliss sounded simple, but it required a target group.

The characteristic of the Bliss Rules was that the stronger the bewitched living being, the more Bliss Power was produced from the burning of their essence during corruption.

This model would definitely be ineffective for their own players; otherwise, they could open a Heavenly Demon Entertainment City within their own ranks, allowing players to enjoy themselves while generating profits, and since players could resurrect one hour after dying even during corruption, it was essentially risk-free profit, satisfying everyone's needs.

But this was clearly unfeasible.

For external operations, there had to be clear targets.

The players who posted help requests did receive quite a few suggestions with the assistance of forum players.

Some players suggested going to the Apocalyptic Minor Worlds currently under development, descending in the form of Outer Domain Heavenly Demons to harvest living beings.

However, as soon as this idea was proposed, it met with various objections.

The Apocalyptic Minor Worlds were resource grounds where many support-stream players possessing Wish Fate Souls continuously generated profits.

If Heavenly Demon-stream players from the Dungeon Party entered, it would severely affect their Wish Power profits, so they unanimously condemned this proposal.

Secondly, the production model of Wish Power and Bliss Power was completely different.

The output of Wish Power was also influenced by the "strength of desire" of the wisher; the stronger the desire to fulfill the wish, the more feedback energy was received after mental satisfaction.

In contrast, the production of Bliss Power had very high requirements for the life strength of the "corrupted."

The living beings in the Minor Worlds had weak physical constitutions; for Heavenly Demon-stream players, they could only rely on volume, and the output was extremely low.

Apart from being easy to bewitch, there were no advantages whatsoever.

To obtain sufficient Bliss Power profits, the Monster World was the best choice, which was also the choice the Lord of Bliss had made back then.

In the meantime, some players also suggested normal hunting.

Eat one monster twice: first let the monster die in painless bliss through corruption, then kill it to gain feedback profits.

This method was relatively reliable; the downside was that it was difficult to mass-produce, still following the hunting growth route.

Qi Sheng did not pay much attention to these discussions.

He had always given players complete freedom in their development, only setting plans for the general direction, providing ample space for players' creative brainstorming.

Just as he was preparing to shift his gaze to the Colorful Mist Coast, the Guide fed back a message.

Without hesitation, Qi Sheng immediately followed the Guide's marker to shift his consciousness.

Underground World.

Under a scene shrouded by a pale blue sky, Hong Yang crouched half-kneeling behind a rock, gripping a long spear tightly in his hand, the spear tip gleaming with cold light.

Shifting his gaze to the other side, his three teammates were also crouching not far away, poised and ready to strike.

Old Wu, who specialized in defense and tanking; A Qi, serving as the assassin; and Xiao Ye, the archer providing ranged support, each occupied advantageous positions, holding their breath and focusing intently, poking their heads out to stare at the monster crawling within the nest ahead.

This was a Rock Armored Beetle with a Hunting Rank of 69; it was ox-sized, its back covered in hard scales, with its weak point being the soft gray-white skin on its abdomen.

Killing it was not difficult; the challenge lay in needing to finish the battle quickly, otherwise the Rock Armored Beetle's cries would attract swarms of other Rock Armored Beetles.

"Act according to plan," Hong Yang said in a deep voice over the team voice channel after glancing at the Rock Armored Beetle that had already crawled out of the cave.

"Old Wu goes up first to attract attention, A Qi circles around the back; when it opens its mouth to spit acid, Xiao Ye shoots the eye, and A Qi and I will deliver the finishing blows."

Old Wu nodded, stood up, raised his Rune Resonance Shield, left the cover, and slammed the ground forcefully in front of the Rock Armored Beetle.

Attracted by the noise, the Rock Armored Beetle's vertical pupils instantly locked onto Old Wu, then it roared and charged, its thick tail sweeping across the rock wall and sending shards of stone flying.

Old Wu tanked the hit head-on; the shield and claws emitted a piercing grinding sound, but his body remained as steady as a boulder, resisting the impact until his calves sank into the mud.

A Qi flashed out from the flank like a phantom, his dagger slicing across the Rock Armored Beetle's back.

The monster turned in pain, its throat swelling, a sign that it was about to spit acid.

Xiao Ye's arrow broke through the air and arrived, precisely nailing into the Rock Armored Beetle's left eye; the acid spray went astray, corroding the ground and raising pungent white smoke.

Seizing the opportunity, Hong Yang poured his Crimson Gang Qi into the long spear, causing the energy crystals on the spear to light up one by one.

Activating the Speed characteristic, he leaped from behind the cover, holding the spear with both hands, and in a splitting motion, aimed the spear tip at the Rock Armored Beetle's exposed throat as it lifted its head in pain.

"Take my spear!"

The spear blade pierced through flesh and blood; the Rock Armored Beetle thrashed violently, but Old Wu pounced on it and held its mouth shut tightly.

From the side, a layer of gold suddenly flared up on the dagger in A Qi's hand as he activated the Critical Hit characteristic.

Moving like lightning, he instantly closed in on the Rock Armored Beetle's head; the dagger, wrapped in a sharp sound of tearing wind, was fiercely driven into the gaps of the monster's hard skull.

Crack!

The dagger penetrated the scaled armor and stabbed into the brain marrow.

In pain, the Rock Armored Beetle twisted its body violently, wanting to roar but unable to make a sound as its mouth was held shut.

Finally, after twitching violently twice, it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The corpse of the dead Rock Armored Beetle shrank and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, swallowed and transformed by an invisible force.

The hard scales, originally gleaming with a cold luster, instantly lost their shine, weathered and peeled off, while flesh and bones collapsed and dissolved like sand grains.

At the same time, wisps of pure dark red energy mist evaporated from the corpse, merging in the air before finally transforming into several streams of blood-colored qi that drilled into the bodies of Hong Yang, A Qi, Old Wu, and Xiao Ye respectively.

Hiss!

Hong Yang took a deep breath, feeling a scorching energy surging through his limbs and hundreds of bones; his muscles trembled under the cleansing of this energy, and his strength increased by another fraction.

The Challenger Prompt also rang out in his mind immediately after.

As a professional Hunting-Party player, the wonderful taste brought by killing monsters never grew tiresome.

The profits from every hunt, along with the subtle physical feedback from attribute growth, always made him feel unable to stop.

Glancing at his Sacrificial Power balance, which was sufficient to upgrade his Rune Resonance weapon, Hong Yang decided to return to Emperor Tomb Village first.

At this moment, he looked toward the assassin-stream player in the team:

"A Qi, how is things over with Xiao Hua?"

Xiao Hua was the team's only Mage and also their main damage dealer, following an extreme damage-dealing route.

Her only defense was her Armed Vehicle, making her constitution extremely fragile.

Especially as the strength of hunted monsters increased, her fragile frame struggled to even withstand the aftermath of fierce battles.

After the previous round of hunting ended, Xiao Hua had returned to Emperor Tomb Village early to adjust the attribute distribution ratio of her Fate Soul, so she was not present for this round of hunting.

"She's done adjusting," Xiao Qi said, playing with his dagger while complaining, "stingily tweaking a 10% boost to her Health attribute; asking her to add some defense is like asking for her Sacrificial Power. She doesn't even look at how she can barely keep up with our progress now; every hunt she's as fragile as a paper lantern, swaying with just a gust of aftermath wind."

Nearby, Old Wu, chewing on a blade of grass while releasing Crimson Gang Qi to wipe his shield, joined in the teasing:

"A Mage is a Mage; adding points to their Fate Soul is just different from us rough guys; shifting even a little attribute feels like it's costing them their life."

Hearing this, Hong Yang chuckled lightly.

He knew Xiao Hua's personality better than anyone; she pursued extreme damage output, and even allocating an extra 1% of attributes to defense would make her heart ache for half a day.

This time she actually took the initiative to adjust 10% of her attributes to physical constitution, which was already a huge concession; it seemed the danger of the last battle had indeed left her with lingering fear.

Amidst the small talk, Hong Yang decided to lead the team back to the village to rest and regroup.

Summoning the function panel, he was just about to click the "Return" function when suddenly the ground shook violently.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The amplitude of the spatial tremor continuously intensified, as if a force was erupting from the depths of the earth.

The ground rippled like waves, countless jagged cracks splitting open in the rock walls as shards of stone cascaded down.

"What's going on?" Xiao Ye, the archer in the team, stumbled, nearly losing his footing.

Old Wu reacted the fastest, instantly raising his shield and shouting sternly:

"Everyone get over to my side!"

The few of them quickly gathered around Old Wu, whose Blood Wall characteristic suddenly expanded, generating a defensive barrier that enveloped the team.

Just then, a crisp sound of cracking came from the sky.

Hong Yang's pupils constricted sharply; he looked up at the dome, only to see a huge fissure tear open across the sky.

The space there was twisting and tearing, like a scroll being crumpled by an invisible hand.

The originally dim ceiling of the Underground World began to reveal spreading, shattered cracks that instantly swept across the entire sky.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

One colossal sound of collapse after another rang out, and the entire scene began to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ground split into countless floating rock fragments, the surrounding scenery flashing wildly like a film reel in reverse, as scorching lava surged up from beneath the earth.

"What's happening, an opportunity or a disaster?" Xiao Qi's voice rang out in the team channel.

In truth, not a shred of fear existed in the hearts of the squad members.

As players, where was the logic in fearing death?

They had already planned to return to the village to regroup; dying back or using the "Return" function on the interface panel made little difference.

The slight tension they felt stemmed from an inability to judge whether this was an omen preceding an opportunity or some natural calamity.

Dying before the opportunity appeared would be a massive loss.

As space continued to shatter, looking through the broken spatial barriers, the squad members saw a completely different world.

Beneath a dark red sky, countless giant skeletons towered like mountain ranges, pale bones entwined with ghostly blue flames.

Further away, a spire shrouded in seven-colored light pierced the heavens, with a slowly rotating blue star hovering above its peak.

Driven by curiosity, Hong Yang activated his analysis scan, and immediately, relevant information flooded his mind.

[God Lamp - Adventurer (Rule Component)]:

Rule Introduction: One of the 68 components constituting the God Lamp Rules; each component can be regarded as an independent rule, possessing the power to distort space, reconstruct space, and rewrite the operational logic of space.

"God Lamp?" Upon seeing the words "God Lamp," Hong Yang's mind immediately conjured the bizarre God Lamp from the Winter Snowfield Novice Village.

As a graduate of the Winter Snowfield "Hair-Pulling Battlefield," Hong Yang naturally understood the background of the Bliss Clan.

He also knew that the source of the Bliss Clan's innovation was imitation.

The Bliss Purple Black Tide imitated the legion system of the Combat Insect Clan, possessing a weak capacity for adaptive evolution.

However, this adaptive evolution differed from that of the Combat Insect Clan; it mostly involved Bliss Warriors manipulating events from behind the scenes to collect enemy abilities and improve them on the spot, or sending collected information to the Lord of Bliss for refinement.

The Bliss Purple Black Tide imitated the Black Black Tide Legion system, boasting a vast arsenal of unit types and possessing a certain capacity for devouring growth.

Yet, even the authentic Black Black Tide's devouring ability was ineffective against them, the players, let alone the Bliss Purple Black Tide.

Furthermore, the Winter Snowfield harbored another obscurely developing power system: the God Lamp System.

Recently, it had been abandoned by the Lord of Bliss.

Back when the Bliss God Lamp still existed, the spatial logic within its covered region was utterly chaotic; even the Lord of Welfare could not control the changes in spatial operational logic.

Forum players had even debated this matter.

What could be confirmed was that the God Lamp System was a powerful system certified by the Lord of Welfare.

After all, the Lord of Welfare did not copy trash; anything it valued was among the finest war systems, indicating that the strength of the Blue Lamp Clan must be formidable.

It was just that they, the players, had never encountered the Blue Lamp Clan and knew very little about this faction.

At this moment, seeing the analysis display that the seven-colored tower was actually a component of the God Lamp Rules and could function as an independent rule,

the first thing Hong Yang thought of was A Le's certified strong clan: the Blue Lamp Clan.

The scene in the sky continued to change, resembling a glazed dome shattered by a heavy hammer, with countless spatial fragments tumbling and colliding in the void.

Each fragment reflected a completely different world.

Forests burning with purple flames, crystal palaces floating in mid-air, mechanical wastelands constructed from gears and steam, galaxy rivers flowing with liquid light... these scenes were precisely the various landscapes of the Underground Cave World.

The God Lamp seemed like a world furnace, crushing different scenes before fusing them together.

The colliding different scenes emitted roaring sounds.

The crushed space transformed into rune imprints, like strings of code, combining and reconstructing in the air.

The color of the sky shifted between ink-black and brilliantly colorful.

Hong Yang saw a giant tree in the sky simultaneously undergoing processes of growth, decay, metallization, and energization, presenting entirely different forms under the interference of rule power.

"What is the Blue Lamp Clan doing? Are they going to swallow the Underground Cave World?" A Qi asked with some worry.

Hearing these words, Hong Yang's heart also tightened.

The Underground Cave World was their favorite game Cultivation Mode, offering both the joy of exploration for the Exploration Party and the happiness of hunting.

Entering a scene in the Underground Cave World was like opening a blind box each time; one could never judge what kind of scene they would enter.

If the Underground Cave World disappeared, they would have to seek another destination in the future.

Some time ago, they had attempted to go to the novice village battlefield in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, but alas, the difficulty was too high.

Without the leadership of a powerful guild, the squad Cultivation Mode simply could not survive.

After charging forward for three rounds, they ultimately chose to return to the Underground Cave World to continue their joyful blind-box journey.

Now, seeing numerous scenes of the Underground Cave World being crushed in batches, he felt immense worry.

Just then, the Seven-Colored God Lamp enlarged in the sky.

More accurately, the scene they occupied was rapidly approaching the God Lamp.

In the blink of an eye, the God Lamp had obscured the entire firmament, with countless world phantoms flowing along its lamp walls.

Boom!

Amidst the tremendous roar, the edges of the scene shattered inch by inch, rock layers turning to powder like fragile cookies.

"Time to farm the forum!" Old Wu calmly chewed on a blade of grass, put away his shield, spread his arms, and faced the rapidly enlarging God Lamp in his line of sight.

"Brothers, see you in an hour," A Qi shrugged helplessly as well.

"Don't be cowards, we can win; watch me, Hou Yi shooting down the sun." At this moment, Xiao Ye raised his crimson longbow, channeling all his vital energy into the bowstring; veins bulged on his body's surface, and he erupted with blinding red light like a burning torch.

An arrow formed purely from condensed vital energy took shape on the bowstring.

"Die for me!"

After leaving the string, the arrow plowed a brilliant blood-red trajectory through the air.

But before this arrow could touch the God Lamp, it was decomposed bit by bit by an invisible force, finally dissipating into the void.

"Damn it, still pulling stunts at a time like this!" A Qi laughed and cursed.

"My condition isn't great today; I was just a tiny bit away from winning earlier, so I can only reluctantly return to the village."

Speaking thus, Xiao Ye raised his head and flipped the bird at the rapidly enlarging God Lamp in his line of sight:

"Just you wait, next time I'll definitely kill you!"

The four looked at each other and burst into laughter, tacitly flipping the bird at the God Lamp in the final moment.

Subsequently, their figures transformed into countless points of light; before vanishing, faint sounds of laughter and cursing could still be heard:

"I'm dissatisfied that my Mage didn't accompany me in death; I suggest he dies once too, so we can all enter the Little Black Room for some passionate chatting."

After entering the Little Black Room, Hong Yang accessed the forum.

The forum was already abuzz with heated discussion regarding the changes in the Underground Cave World; the speed of intelligence updates was even faster than for him, who had experienced it firsthand.

After searching for "Underground Cave World," he found a post published three seconds ago.

It explained in detail exactly what the situation with the Underground Cave World was.

[Latest Intelligence on the Underground Cave World: The scenes outside the Novice Village have exploded; enter the post for a detailed explanation of the cause]:

Poster: Shangguan Xingfeng.

Content:

I won't waste words; I am an eyewitness to the sudden incident in the Underground Cave.

At the time, I asked the Guide what was happening, and the response was that the Blue Lamp Clan's "Adventurer Rules" were currently reconstructing and rewriting the scenes of the Underground Cave World.

Veteran players should not be unfamiliar with this Blue Lamp Clan.

It is one of the strong clans certified (copied) by the Lord of Welfare, yet it has never made an appearance.

This is because the Blue Lamp Clan's main battlefield is not in the Pale Continent region; it is a powerful faction spanning multiple continents.

According to the Guide's description, apart from the Domain Nodes which cannot be destroyed, everything else in the current Underground Cave World scenes has been crushed and reconstructed.

This includes the Primordial Monsters, who have all been sent to reincarnate, starting over from level 0.

The specific reason is that the Blue Lamp Clan has taken a liking to the multi-spatial scenes of the Underground Cave World and decided to reconstruct them into an Adventurer World.

Here, an explanation is needed: what is an Adventurer World?

Simply put, the Blue Lamp Clan has adapted the disordered spatial scenes of the Underground Cave World into a series of independent dungeon spaces.

The Blue Lamp Clan has set various difficulty challenges within these dungeons, along with numerous checkpoint bosses created by the Blue Lamp Clan; as living beings of the Monster World enter these dungeons to adventure, they are producing rule energy for the Blue Lamp Clan.

This is also the rule energy generation logic of the "Adventurer Rules."

The Underground Cave World has now been completely occupied by the Blue Lamp Clan; henceforth, the dungeon Cultivation Mode will shift from random dungeons to a series of fixed dungeons.

The only problem I am currently worried about is whether becoming a "Dungeon Adventurer" will yield rewards.

There are two conjectures here.

The first conjecture can reference the Ancient God Arena Cultivation Mode.

As long as players complete the dungeon challenges created by the Blue Lamp Clan in the capacity of adventurers, they can obtain corresponding resource rewards.

If this is the model, we players can vigorously fleece them within the dungeons.

Everyone takes what they need, happily holding hands and farming each other.

As for losses, the Ancient God Clan perhaps doesn't care at all.

Last time I saw a post on the forum by an Arena Party player; he said in the post that Man Nu seemed to recognize him but didn't care at all, letting him enter the arena to fight as usual.

Therefore, a model of mutual benefit is extremely advantageous for us players.

Moreover, the dungeon scenes crafted by the Blue Lamp Clan do not have the quantity restrictions of the Ancient God Arena; one can reach them directly via the Underground Cave Node Space if they wish to go. The era of dungeons has thus arrived.

The second model is the Bliss Palace.

This model is rather unpleasant; the Bliss Clan relies on capturing living beings to go inside and enjoy themselves to earn Bliss Power, and after enjoying, one must die.

Let alone profits; coming out with soft legs is a given.

Ordinary clans entering there only get drained dry; wanting to earn profits from inside? A Le would be the first to disagree.

As for us players, there is only one way to fleece the Lord of Benefits' Pleasure City: by killing the Pleasure City clients who are currently falling into corruption; it would be strange if A Le agreed to that.

The Adventurer World has not yet been formed, so exactly which Cultivation Mode it will take remains unclear for now.

I hope it is the Ancient God Arena Cultivation Mode; if it turns out to be the second Cultivation Mode, the Underground Cave nodes will be useless, and no players will visit this place in the future.

A major version update is coming; the blind-box party players of the Underground Cave should tremble in fear, as they might collectively lose their jobs and need to retrain.

The Primordial Sacrifice Altar.

Qi Sheng had been monitoring the changes in the Underground Cave World the entire time.

Just as the forum players had posted to explain, the Blue Lamp Clan had taken a liking to the multiple scenes of the Underground Cave World and was preparing to rewrite the space into an Adventurer World to obtain a continuous output of rule power.

As for the concerns raised by the players, after Qi Sheng expended sacrificial power to have the Guide perform a deep analysis of the Blue Lamp Clan's situation, he had already obtained the answer.

Based on a comprehensive comparison, the strength of the Blue Lamp Clan surpassed that of the Ancient God Clan.

In some aspects, they were even somewhat similar to the player legions; this was a special faction that used only rule power, having discarded mortal power.

They possessed no physical bodies, being purely rule-derived lifeforms.

Their bodily structure tended toward that of elemental life, yet there were many differences.

The Blue Lamp Clan had mastered a total of 68 rule powers; each rule possessed the ability to distort reality and modify the logic of reality.

Adventure, gambling, fairy tales, collection... each rule required weaving a spatial scene to produce rule energy according to specific logic.

What had appeared in the Underground Cave World this time was the "Adventurer," one of the 68 components of the Divine Lamp Rule.

The characteristic effect of this rule was its ability to generate Divine Lamp energy through acts of "adventure challenges" within the spatial scenes.

At this moment, the blind-box party players on the forum were all worried that the Blue Lamp Clan would completely destroy the Underground Cave World, smashing their rice bowl for earning sacrificial power profits.

But in reality, such concerns were entirely unnecessary.

Through the deep analysis information fed back by the Guide, Qi Sheng learned that the most special aspect of the Blue Lamp Clan was that they only used rule power but had not mastered the utilization of ordinary resources.

More accurately, the unique life structure of the Blue Lamp Clan made it impossible for them to convert ordinary resources into developmental momentum.

Just as humans rely on carbohydrates for energy, the Blue Lamp Clan must depend on the energy produced by the Divine Lamp Rule to survive.

One could view the Blue Lamp Clan as digital lifeforms roaming within the network world, while ordinary races were like traditional nations, requiring physical resources such as oil, iron ore, and grain to maintain operations.

The Blue Lamp Clan, however, could only mine through rule logic to acquire cryptocurrency (rule energy) to fill their bodily consumption and even fuel racial growth; no matter how abundant the resources of the real world were, they could not be utilized directly.

In racial wars, the only thing the Blue Lamp Clan cared about was the rules controlled by hostile factions.

After each racial war ended, the Blue Lamp Clan would feed the rules of the hostile factions to the Divine Lamp to assist its growth.

The strength of this Divine Lamp was the strongest rule Qi Sheng had encountered in the Monster World, aside from the Black Black Tide system and the Insect Race system.

It possessed the ability to devour other rules to grow.

Ordinary rules formed their own self-contained systems and were difficult to destroy by any violent means; only by reverse-engineering and decomposing them based on their underlying logic was it possible to damage them.

But the Divine Lamp Rule was like a predator among rules, capable of shredding other rules and absorbing them.

The absorbed parts were like strings of logical code merging into the Divine Lamp Rule's code, automatically reconstructing and combining within it.

Among these, many codes were incompatible and would be spat out to be reconstructed, generating a subsidiary rule connected to the Divine Lamp Rule.

This was also the reason why the "Divine Lamp Rule" could split into 68 rule components, with each component capable of being viewed as an independent rule rather than a derived one.

Essentially, these rule components attached to the Divine Lamp were all devoured rules, generated by combining with the logical system of the Divine Lamp Rule.

However, this devouring also had limitations.

Primordial Monsters were not on the Divine Lamp Rule's food list.

Devouring a Primordial Monster meant devouring the Monster World itself; their intensities were simply not on the same level.

Due to the unique life structure of the Blue Lamp Clan, they could not use ordinary resources and could only rely on the rule energy produced by the Divine Lamp to achieve growth.

This resulted in the Blue Lamp Clan accumulating vast amounts of alien resources in their hands after each war ended.

In the eyes of the Blue Lamp Clan, these resources held no value whatsoever.

To create value from the resources in their possession, the Blue Lamp Clan's choice was to gift them to individuals or clans that created rule energy for them.

The Adventurer World, generated by the reconstruction of the Underground Cave World, was one such venue for digesting "ineffective resources."

Compared to the Pleasure Clan's method of waiting by the stump to catch prey, the Blue Lamp Clan's method of acquiring clients was far simpler and more crude.

They would offer various resources to reward alien beings who participated in adventures within dungeon worlds, without restricting their personal freedom.

Through pure profit attraction, they caused beings in nearby regions to voluntarily create value for them.

This model even resembled going to work, emphasizing that only willing victims would take the bait.

If you came to work in the Adventurer World, you could receive wages rewarded by the Blue Lamp Clan; the higher your performance, the higher your wages.

If you wanted to resign, you could leave at any time.

If midway through you felt the risks within the dungeon were too high, you could also interrupt the adventure at any time and leave early.

For example, Qi Sheng saw a fully perfected dungeon scene containing 32 bosses.

If a player challenged up to the fifth boss and did not wish to continue, they could leave at any time via a teleportation point within the dungeon.

Compared to the Cultivation Mode of draining the pond to catch all the fish adopted by the Ancient God Clan and the Pleasure Clan regarding nearby regions, the Blue Lamp Clan adopted a sustainable development model.

The Blue Lamp Clan even hoped that nearby races would grow robustly, challenging more and more difficult Adventurer dungeons to produce more rule energy for them.

But this system had one limitation.

The Blue Lamp Clan would only cultivate racial factions that possessed no rules.

When a nearby racial faction grew strong enough, utilizing the resources given by the Blue Lamp Clan to reach the height of possessing rules,

the mercy of the Blue Lamp Clan would turn into a slaughtering blade.

Therefore, the underlying logic of this system was actually to fatten them up before killing, profiting from both ends.

They earned rule energy through nearby clans challenging Adventurer dungeons, then gave resources to cultivate their growth, only to slaughter them to acquire their rules once they possessed them.

Of course, if the nearby races were never able to ascend into rule-holding factions, the Blue Lamp Clan would not lose out either.

Thus, behind the seemingly incongruous settings of the Blue Lamp Clan lay a clear underlying logic.

This was a farming and harvesting model even more advanced than that of the Ascension Clan.

The Ascension Clan cultivated individuals, while the Blue Lamp Clan cultivated entire races; their ultimate goals were both for profit.

It was just that the Blue Lamp Clan's farming model was wrapped in an outer shell of "freedom."

In the eyes of ordinary races, the Adventurer World created by the Blue Lamp Clan resembled the heaven-sent fortune or ancient ruins that frequently appeared in xianxia novels.

It was regarded as a trial ground left behind by ancient great experts.

As long as one performed excellently in the trials, one could receive generous rewards, which would also be interpreted as a legacy gift where "only those destined can obtain it."

In reality, when a race grew to a certain height relying on resources given by the Blue Lamp Clan over long years, it signified that this race had entered its maturity period, and the slaughtering blade could fall at any moment.

It was just like the "Ascension Moment" within the Ascension Clan's farms.

Having understood the growth logic of the Blue Lamp Clan, Qi Sheng became interested in this Adventurer World that was about to be generated.

The player legion under his control clearly did not need to worry about being harvested by the Blue Lamp Clan, nor did they need to worry about players dying within the Adventurer dungeons.

Therefore, he was determined to fleece this wool.

He decided that once the Adventurer World was fully generated, he would release an update notification to introduce the Adventurer World to the players in detail and create a direct express line.

He would encourage players to go there enthusiastically to earn profits.

This was essentially another form of a win-win model.

Players would produce rule energy for the Blue Lamp Clan in the Adventurer World, and then receive various types of resource rewards given by the Blue Lamp Clan.

For the Blue Lamp Clan, they did not care about expenditures in this regard at all.

During their long years of war, they had collected an entire space's worth of "ineffective resources."

The Blue Lamp Clan had always been generous with rewards given to adventurers.
