Chapter 279: Di Ku Shi Jie Undergoes a Sudden Change, the Divine Lamp Descends (Requesting Monthly Passes)
The thoughts of the Lord of Bliss were soon applied to reality.
However, this was limited to top-tier Bliss players who had graduated from the Death Space and were already active in the Monster World.
Among the player group, three players received a "Hidden Quest" issued by the Lord of Bliss and were granted a Rule Yan Sheng Lao Yin after returning to the Death Space.
The first thing these three players did was ask the Guide whether this Rule Yan Sheng Lao Yin could be crafted into a Painful Painful Minghun.
But the situation was similar to the Artifact Clan's Yan Sheng Lao Yin at that time.
The Rule Yan Sheng Lao Yin was essentially just a node generated by the "Bliss Rules," with the control of the rules still in the hands of the Lord of Bliss.
One could consume Shou Shou Jili to simulate the operation of Bliss Power to generate a Painful Painful Minghun, but the cost was huge and completely unnecessary.
However, the existence of this Rule Lao Yin also gave Dungeon Party players a way to utilize Bliss Rules to obtain additional benefits.
The key point was that there was no possibility of external forces extracting power from a player's body.
The energy benefits created by players using Bliss-derived rules could be enjoyed exclusively by the players; no matter what the Lord of Bliss did, he could not extract a single cent of profit from it.
Qi Sheng's setting was to continue deducting a commission at a 3:7 ratio.
Although the Lord of Bliss could not extract any, he still had to take a cut.
He had to take a portion of all profits generated by the players.
This included the Faith Power generated by the Divine Painful Painful Minghun used by the Headmaster; he had similarly set up a commission deduction.
Secondly, these three forum players also posted on the forum, seeking help from the vast number of players on how to utilize the Bliss-derived Rule Lao Yin to create benefits.
They had also asked the Guide, but for questions requiring detailed, hand-holding instruction, the Guide never paid any attention.
And the "Manifest as a Heavenly Demon, Delude the Masses" mentioned by the Lord of Bliss sounded simple, but it required a target group.
The characteristic of the Bliss Rules was that the stronger the living beings deluded, the more Bliss Power was produced by burning their essence and spirit during their fall.
This model was definitely 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 even if players died during their fall, they could resurrect after one hour, essentially yielding lossless returns where both sides got what they needed.
But this was obviously not feasible.
For external operations, there had to be a clear target.
The players who posted the help requests actually received many suggestions with the help of other forum players.
Some players suggested going to the developing Apocalypse Small World, descending as an Otherworldly Heavenly Demon, and harvesting living beings.
But this idea was met with various oppositions as soon as it was proposed.
The Apocalypse Small World was a resource ground for many support-style players possessing Wish Painful Painful Minghun, continuously generating returns.
If Heavenly Demon-style players from the Dungeon Party entered, it would severely affect their Wish Power returns, and they all expressed condemnation of this proposal.
Secondly, the production modes of Wish Power and Bliss Power were 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 spiritual satisfaction.
In contrast, the production of Bliss Power had very high requirements for the life strength of the "Fallen One."
The living beings in the Small World had weak physical constitutions; for Heavenly Demon-style players, they could only rely on volume, and the output was very low.
Besides being easy to delude, there were no advantages.
To obtain enough Bliss Power returns, the Monster World was the best choice, which was also the choice made by the Lord of Bliss back then.
During this period, some players also suggested normal hunting.
Eat two portions of a monster: first let the monster fall and die in painless bliss, then kill it to obtain feedback returns.
This method was relatively reliable, but the drawback was that it was difficult to mass-produce, still following the hunting growth path.
Qi Sheng did not pay much attention to this aspect of the discussion.
He always gave players complete freedom in their development, only formulating plans on a broad direction, giving players ample space for creative innovation.
Just as he was preparing to shift his gaze to the Colorful Mist Coast, the Guide fed back a message.
Qi Sheng did not hesitate and immediately followed the Guide's mark to jump his consciousness.
Di Ku Shi Jie.
Under the scene shrouded by a pale blue sky, Hong Yang squatted behind a rock, tightly gripping a spear in his hand, the spear tip gleaming with cold light.
Shifting his gaze to the other side, his three teammates were also squatting nearby, poised and ready.
The tank specialist Lao Wu, the assassin A Qi, and the ranged support archer Xiao Ye each occupied advantageous positions, holding their breath and focusing intently, exposing their heads to stare at the monster crouching in the nest ahead.
This was a Rock Armored Beetle with a hunting level of 69, its size like an ox, its back covered in hard scales, with its weakness located in the soft gray-white skin of its belly.
Killing it was not difficult; the difficulty lay in the necessity of a quick battle, otherwise the Rock Armored Beetle's cry would attract a swarm of Rock Armored Beetles to attack.
"Act according to plan," Hong Yang said in a low voice in the squad voice channel after glancing at the Rock Armored Beetle that had already crawled out of the cave.
"Lao Wu goes first to attract attention, A Qi flanks from behind; when it opens its mouth to spray acid, Xiao Ye shoots the eyes, and A Qi and I will finish it off."
Lao Wu nodded, stood up, raised his Rune Resonance Shield, left the cover, and suddenly struck the ground against the Rock Armored Beetle.
The Rock Armored Beetle was attracted by the sound, its vertical pupils instantly locking onto Lao Wu, then roaring as it charged, its thick tail sweeping across the rock wall, sending flying debris scattering.
Lao Wu tanked the blow, the shield and claws emitting a grating friction sound, but his body held steady like a rock, his calves sinking into the mud.
A Qi flashed out from the flank like a ghost, his dagger slicing across the Rock Armored Beetle's back.
The monster turned in pain, its throat swelling, a clear sign of imminent acid spray.
Xiao Ye's arrow pierced the air, precisely pinning into the Rock Armored Beetle's left eye; the acid spray went astray, corroding the ground and rising with pungent white smoke.
Seizing the opportunity, Hong Yang infused his spear with Gang Qi, and the energy crystals on the spear lit up in sequence.
Activating the Extreme Speed trait, he leaped from behind the cover, holding the spear with both hands, and in a downward chop posture, aimed the spear tip at the Rock Armored Beetle's exposed throat as it reared its head in pain.
"Take this spear!"
The spear blade pierced through flesh and blood; the Rock Armored Beetle struggled violently but was held down by Lao Wu rushing forward and pressing its mouth shut with all his might.
On the side, a golden hue suddenly flared on the dagger in A Qi's hand, activating the Critical Hit trait.
His figure moved like lightning, instantly closing in on the Rock Armored Beetle's skull; the dagger, carrying a sharp sound of tearing wind, hammered fiercely into the gap of the monster's hard skull.
Crack!
The dagger pierced through the scale armor and stabbed into the brain.
The Rock Armor Beetle writhed in agony, thrashing its body violently. It tried to screech, but its mouth was held shut, leaving it unable to make a sound.
After two violent convulsions, it finally collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.
The dead Rock Armor Beetle's corpse shrank and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, devoured and transformed by an invisible force.
The once cold-hued, hard scales instantly lost their luster, weathering and flaking away, while flesh and bone crumbled and dissolved like grains of sand.
At the same time, wisps of pure dark-red energy mist rose from the corpse, merging in the air, eventually transforming into several streams of blood-colored qi that burrowed into the bodies of Hong Yang, A-Qi, Old Wu, and Little Ye respectively.
Hiss!
Hong Yang drew in a deep breath, feeling a surge of scorching energy coursing through his limbs and bones. His muscles trembled under the scouring of this energy, and his strength grew another fraction.
The Challenger prompt followed closely, ringing in his mind.
As a professional hunter-class player, the exquisite thrill of slaying monsters never grows tiresome.
The gains from every hunt, and the subtle physical feedback from stat growth, always leave him unable to quit.
Glancing at his Painful Painful Minghun balance and finding it sufficient to upgrade his rune-resonance weapon, Hong Yang decided to head back to Imperial Tomb Village first.
At this moment, he looked toward the assassin-class player in the party:
"A-Qi, how's Little Flower doing over there?"
Little Flower was the only mage in the party, and also the party's damage-dealing backbone, running an extreme damage-output build.
Her only defense was her armed vehicle; her body was extremely fragile.
Especially as the intensity of hunted monsters increased, her fragile body was struggling to even withstand the shockwaves of intense combat.
After the previous hunt ended, Little Flower had returned to Imperial Tomb Village early to adjust her Painful Painful Minghun stat distribution ratio, so she hadn't shown up for this hunt.
"She's done switching. Stingy as ever, she shifted 10% of her vitality stat bonus. Asking her to add some defense is like asking for her Shou Shou Jili. She doesn't see that she's already barely keeping up with our progress now. Every hunt she's as fragile as a paper lantern, wobbling at the slightest shockwave." A-Qi toyed with his dagger as he complained.
Old Wu, off to the side with a grass root dangling from his lips, released his gang qi to polish his shield while joining in the teasing:
"A mage is a mage. Adding stats to Painful Painful Minghun is just different from us rough guys. Shifting even a tiny bit of stats feels like asking for her life."
Hong Yang chuckled lightly at their words.
He knew Little Flower's temperament all too well—she pursued extreme damage output, and even allocating an extra 1% of stats to defense would make her heart ache for half a day.
The fact that she'd proactively adjusted 10% of her stats toward physical conditioning this time was already a massive concession. It seemed the danger of the last battle had truly left her with lingering fear.
Amid the idle chat, Hong Yang decided to lead the party back to the village to rest and resupply.
Summoning his function panel, he was about to tap the "Return" function when the ground suddenly trembled violently.
Rumble rumble!
The amplitude of the spatial tremor kept intensifying, as if a force were bursting forth from deep underground.
The ground undulated like waves, the rock walls split open with countless grotesque fissures, and rubble rained down.
"What's going on?" The archer Little Ye in the party stumbled, nearly losing her footing.
Old Wu reacted fastest, instantly raising his shield and barking sharply:
"Everyone get over here to me!"
The few quickly gathered around Old Wu, and the Blood Wall characteristic Old Wu released suddenly unfurled, generating a defensive barrier that enveloped the party.
Just then, a crisp sound of shattering came from the sky.
Hong Yang's pupils contracted sharply. He looked up at the dome and saw a massive rift torn open in the heavens.
The space there was twisting and tearing, like a painting crumpled by an invisible hand.
The originally dim cavern ceiling began to show spreading, broken fissures that instantly swept across the entire sky.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
One booming crash after another rang out, and the entire scene began collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ground split into countless floating rock chunks, the surrounding scenery flickered madly like a film reel in reverse, and scorching molten lava surged up from underground.
"What's the situation—an opportunity or a disaster?" A-Qi's voice came through the party channel.
In truth, none of the party members felt the slightest fear.
As players, what reason was there to fear death?
They had already planned to return to the village to rest and resupply. Dying back, or going back through the "Return" function on the panel, made little difference.
The slight tension they felt was because they couldn't judge whether this was an omen before an opportunity appeared, or some kind of natural disaster.
If they died right before an opportunity appeared, that would be a huge loss.
As the space continued to shatter, through the broken spatial barrier, the party members saw an entirely different world.
Beneath a dark-red sky, countless massive skeletons towered like mountain ranges, with pale-blue flames coiling around the bleached-white frames.
Further in the distance stood a spire shrouded in seven-colored radiance, thrusting straight into the heavens, with a slowly rotating blue star suspended at its peak.
Driven by curiosity, Hong Yang activated his Analyze and swept it over, and instantly the relevant information flooded into his mind.
【Magic Lamp - Adventurer (Rule Component)】:
Rule Introduction: One of the 68 components that constitute the Rule Magic Lamp. Each component can be regarded as an independent rule, possessing the power to distort space, reconstruct space, and rewrite the logic of how space operates.
"Magic Lamp?" Seeing those two words, the bizarre Magic Lamp from the newbie village on the Frost Snow Plain immediately surfaced in Hong Yang's mind.
As a graduate of the "Hair-Pulling Battlefield" on the Frost Snow Plain, Hong Yang had naturally looked into the background of the Bliss Clan.
He also knew that the source of the Bliss Clan's innovation was imitation.
The Bliss Purple Tide imitated the legion system of the Combat Bug Race, possessing a faint adaptive evolution ability.
But the adaptive evolution here differed from that of the Combat Bug Race. It relied more on the Bliss Warriors controlling things from behind, who collected enemy abilities and made on-the-spot improvements, or sent the gathered information to the Lord of Bliss, who was responsible for the improvements.
The Bliss Purple Tide imitated the Black Tide legion system, possessing a vast arsenal of unit types, and also had a certain devouring-growth ability.
However, this devouring ability was ineffective against players even for the genuine Black Tide, let alone the Bliss Purple Tide.
And the Frost Winter Snowfield also has an obscure power system quietly developing—the Divine Lamp system.
Recently it has already been abandoned by the Lord of Bliss.
Back when the Bliss Divine Lamp was still around, the spatial logic within its shrouded area was utterly chaotic, and even the Lord of Blessings couldn't control the changes in how space operated.
Forum players had even held discussions about this.
What can be confirmed is that the Divine Lamp system is a powerful system certified by the Lord of Blessings.
After all, the Lord of Blessings doesn't copy garbage; whatever it values must be the most excellent war systems, which shows the Blue Lamp Clan's strength must be formidable.
It's just that their players have never come into contact with the Blue Lamp Clan, and know very little about this faction.
Seeing the analysis show that the Seven-Colored Gao Ta is actually a component of the Divine Lamp rules, and can also be an independent rule.
The first thing Meng Yuan Chu thought of was the strong clan certified by A Le: the Blue Lamp Clan.
The image in the sky kept changing, like a glazed dome shattered by a heavy hammer, with countless spatial fragments tumbling and colliding in the void.
Each fragment reflected an entirely different world.
A forest burning with purple flames, a crystal palace suspended in the air, a mechanical wasteland built of gears and steam, a river of stars flowing with liquid light… these images were precisely the different scene visuals of Di Ku Shi Jie.
The Divine Lamp was like a world furnace, crushing different scenes and fusing them together.
The different scenes roared as they collided.
The crushed space transformed into Fu Wen Lao Yin, like a string of code, assembling and reconstructing in the air.
The sky's color was sometimes pitch-black as ink, sometimes dazzlingly colorful.
Meng Yuan Chu saw a giant tree in the sky simultaneously undergoing growth, decay, metallization, and energy-ization, presenting entirely different forms under the interference of rule power.
"What are the Blue Lamp Clan trying to do? Are they going to swallow Di Ku Shi Jie?" A Qi said with some worry.
Hearing these words, Meng Yuan Chu's heart also tightened.
Di Ku Shi Jie is their favorite game mode, offering both the joy for explorers and the thrill of hunting.
Every time entering a Di Ku Shi Jie scene is like opening a blind box—you can't predict what kind of scene you'll enter.
If Di Ku Shi Jie disappears, they'll have to find another place to go in the future.
They had tried going to the newbie village battlefield at the Imperial Tomb Mountains some time ago, but the difficulty was too high.
Without a powerful guild leading the way, small-team mode simply couldn't survive.
After charging in for three rounds, they ultimately chose to return to Di Ku Shi Jie and continue their joyful blind-box journey.
Seeing massive scenes of Di Ku Shi Jie being crushed in batches right now, he felt immensely worried.
Just then, the Seven-Colored Divine Lamp enlarged in the sky.
More accurately, the scene they were in was rapidly approaching the Divine Lamp.
In the blink of an eye, the Divine Lamp had already blotted out the entire sky, with countless world illusions flowing across its surface.
Boom!
Amid the roar, the edges of the scene shattered inch by inch, rock layers crumbling into powder like fragile biscuits.
"Time to go browse the forum!" Old Wu calmly chewed on a grass root, put away his shield, spread his arms, and faced the rapidly enlarging Divine Lamp head-on.
"Brothers, see you in an hour." A Qi also shrugged helplessly.
"Don't chicken out, we can win, watch my Hou Yi shoot the sun." Little Ye, however, raised a crimson longbow at this moment, channeling all his qi and blood into the bowstring; his blood vessels bulged on the surface of his body, and his entire being blazed with dazzling red light like a burning torch.
An arrow condensed purely from qi and blood took shape on the bowstring.
"Die!"
After the arrow left the string, it plowed a brilliant blood-colored trail through the air.
But before this arrow could even touch the Divine Lamp, it was decomposed bit by bit by an invisible force, ultimately dissipating into the void.
"Damn, still messing around at a time like this!" A Qi cursed with a laugh.
"I'm not in good shape today, was just a tiny bit away from winning just now, can only reluctantly return to the village."
Little Ye said this astext, then raised his head and gave the rapidly enlarging Divine Lamp in his line of sight the middle finger:
"Just you wait, next time I'll definitely kill you!"
The four exchanged glances and laughed heartily, unanimously giving the Divine Lamp the middle finger at the last moment.
Then their figures turned into countless light points, and before dissipating, faintly came the sounds of laughing and cursing:
"My Mage didn't get buried with me, I'm dissatisfied about this, suggest he die once too, go into the little black room together for a passionate chat."
……
After entering the little black room, Meng Yuan Chu entered the forum.
The forum had already launched a heated discussion about the changes in Di Ku Shi Jie, with intelligence updating faster than even he, an eyewitness, could keep up with.
After searching "Di Ku Shi Jie," he found a post published 3 seconds ago.
It explained in detail what exactly was going on with Di Ku Shi Jie.
【Latest Intelligence on Di Ku Shi Jie, Scenes Outside the Newbie Village Exploded, Reasons Explained in Post】:
Poster: Shangguan Xingfeng.
Content:
Won't waste words with pleasantries, I am an eyewitness to the sudden situation in Di Ku.
At the time I asked the Guide what was happening, and the answer received was that the Blue Lamp Clan's "Adventurer Rules" were restructuring and rewriting Di Ku Shi Jie scenes.
This Blue Lamp Clan, veteran players shouldn't be unfamiliar with.
It's one of the strong clans certified (plagiarized) by the Lord of Blessings, just never appeared before.
Because the Blue Lamp Clan's main battlefield isn't in the Pale Continent region—it's a powerful faction spanning multiple continents.
According to the Guide's description, in the current Di Ku Shi Jie, aside from domain nodes being indestructible, everything in the scenes has been crushed and reconstructed.
Including Meng Yuan Chu monsters, all sent off to reincarnate, starting over from level 0.
The specific reason is that the Blue Lamp Clan has taken a liking to the multiple spatial scenes of the Di Ku Shi Jie and decided to reconstruct it into an Adventurer World.
Here, an explanation is needed on what an Adventurer World is.
Simply put, the Blue Lamp Clan has adapted the chaotic spatial scenes of the Di Ku Shi Jie into one independent dungeon space after another.
The Blue Lamp Clan has set up various difficulty challenges within the dungeons, along with numerous dungeon bosses created by the Blue Lamp Clan; the process for creatures from the Monster World entering these dungeons to adventure is essentially producing Rule Energy for the Blue Lamp Clan.
This is the Rule Energy generation logic behind the "Adventurer Rules."
Now that the Di Ku Shi Jie has been completely occupied by the Blue Lamp Clan, the dungeon mode will shift from random dungeons to a series of fixed dungeons.
There is only one problem I am currently worried about: can becoming an "Adventurer" yield rewards from this?
There are two hypotheses here.
The first hypothesis can reference the Ancient God Arena 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 mode, we players can thoroughly fleece the sheep within the dungeons.
Everyone takes what they need, happily holding hands and farming each other.
As for the loss, the Ancient God Clan might not care at all.
Last time I saw a post on the forum published by an Arena Faction player; in the post, he said that the Barbarian Slaves seemed to recognize him, but didn't care at all, letting him enter the arena to fight as usual.
Therefore, the mode where everyone takes what they need is extremely beneficial for us players.
Moreover, the dungeon scenes crafted by the Blue Lamp Clan have no quantity limit like the Ancient God Arena; those wishing to go can travel directly via the Di Ku Node Space, and thus the Dungeon Era has arrived.
The second mode: Palace of Extreme Bliss.
This mode is quite uncomfortable; the Extreme Bliss Clan relies on capturing creatures to go in and enjoy themselves to earn Extreme Bliss Power, and they must die once the enjoyment is over.
Let alone profits; even coming out, the legs are weak.
Ordinary clans entering only have the fate of being drained dry; wanting to earn profits from within, A Le would be the first to disagree.
As for us players, there is only one way to fleece the sheep in the Welfare Lord's entertainment city: killing the clients of the entertainment city who are currently falling into depravity; A Le would only agree if he were crazy.
The Adventurer World has not yet been formed, so it is currently unclear which mode it will be.
I hope it is the Ancient God Arena mode; if it is the second mode, the Di Ku Nodes would be considered useless, and no players would go there to play in the future.
A major version update is coming; let the Blind Box Faction players in the Di Ku tremble, as they might collectively lose their jobs and change careers.
Meng Yuan Chu Altar.
Qi Sheng has been paying close attention to the changes in the Di Ku Shi Jie throughout.
Just as the forum players explained in their posts, the Blue Lamp Clan has taken a liking to the multiple scenes of the Di Ku Shi Jie and is preparing to rewrite the space into an Adventurer World to obtain continuous output of Rule Power.
As for the problem players are worried about, after Qi Sheng consumed Shou Shou Jili to have the Guide deeply analyze the situation of the Blue Lamp Clan, he has already obtained the answer.
Upon comprehensive comparison, the strength of the Blue Lamp Clan surpasses that of the Ancient God Clan.
Even in some aspects, they are somewhat similar to the Player Legion; this is a special faction that uses only Rule Power and discards mundane power.
They have no physical bodies; they are purely Rule-derived lifeforms.
Their body structure tends toward elemental life, yet possesses many differences.
The Blue Lamp Clan has mastered 68 types of Rule Power; each type of Rule possesses the ability to distort reality and modify the logic of reality.
Adventure, Gambling, Fairy Tales, Collections... each type of Rule requires weaving a spatial scene to produce Rule Energy according to a specific logic.
What appeared in the Di Ku Shi Jie this time is the "Adventurer," one of the 68 components of the Genie Lamp Rule.
The characteristic effect of this Rule is the ability to generate Genie Lamp Energy through the behavior of "Adventure Challenges" within the spatial scene.
At this moment, the Blind Box Faction players on the forum are all worried that the Blue Lamp Clan will completely destroy the Di Ku Shi Jie, smashing their rice bowl for earning Shou Shou Jili profits.
But in reality, such worry is completely unnecessary.
Through the deep analysis information fed back by the Guide, Qi Sheng learned that the most special aspect of the Blue Lamp Clan is that they only use Rule Power but have not mastered the utilization of ordinary resources.
More accurately, the unique life structure of the Blue Lamp Clan prevents them from converting ordinary resources into development momentum.
Just as humans rely on carbohydrates for energy, the Blue Lamp Clan must rely on the energy produced by the Genie Lamp Rule to survive.
The Blue Lamp Clan can be viewed as digital lifeforms wandering in the network world, while ordinary races are like traditional nations, requiring physical resources such as oil, iron ore, and grain to maintain operations.
The Blue Lamp Clan can only mine via Rule Logic to acquire cryptocurrency (Rule Energy) to fill body consumption and even racial growth; no matter how many resources exist in the real world, they cannot be utilized directly.
In racial wars, the only thing the Blue Lamp Clan cares about is the Rules held by opposing factions.
Every time a racial war ends, the Blue Lamp Clan will feed the Rules of the opposing factions to the Genie Lamp to assist the Genie Lamp's growth.
The strength of this Genie Lamp is the strongest Rule Qi Sheng has encountered in the Monster World, aside from the Black Tide System and the Insect Race System.
It possesses the ability to devour other Rules to grow.
Ordinary Rules form their own systems and are difficult to destroy through any violent means; only by reverse-decomposing them according to the underlying logic of the Rules is it possible to damage them.
But the Genie Lamp Rule is like a predator among Rules, capable of crushing other Rules and absorbing them.
The absorbed parts are like a string of logic codes merging into the Genie Lamp Rule's code, automatically reconstructing and combining within it.
Among them, a significant amount of code is incompatible and will be spit out to reconstruct, generating an auxiliary Rule connected to the Genie Lamp Rule.
This is also the reason why the "Genie Lamp Rule" can split into 68 Rule components, and each component can be regarded as an independent Rule rather than a derivative Rule.
Essentially, these Rule components attached to the Genie Lamp are devoured Rules generated by combining with the Genie Lamp Rule's logical system.
But this devouring also has limitations.
Meng Yuan Chu monsters are not on the Genie Lamp Rule's food list.
Devouring Meng Yuan Chu is devouring the Monster World; the strength is not on the same level at all.
Due to the Blue Lamp Clan's unique life structure, they cannot use ordinary resources and can only obtain growth by borrowing the Rule Energy produced by the Genie Lamp.
This leads to the Blue Lamp Clan accumulating a large amount of alien resources in their hands after every war ends.
This portion of resources holds no value in the eyes of the Blue Lamp Clan.
To allow the resources in hand to create value, the Blue Lantern Race's choice is to bestow them upon individuals—or groups—who generate rule energy for the Blue Lantern Race.
The adventurer world reconstructed and generated by the Di Ku Shi Jie is one such venue for digesting "invalid resources."
Compared to the Bliss Race's sit-and-wait method of catching prey, the Blue Lantern Race's customer-acquisition method is simpler and more brute-force.
They will produce various resources to reward the foreign-race beings who participate in Fu Ben Shi Jie adventures, and they do not restrict personal freedom.
Through pure attraction of profit, they make the beings in nearby regions actively create value for them.
This model is even somewhat like going to work—it appeals to those who are willing to take the bait.
You come to the adventurer world to work, and you can obtain the Blue Lantern Race's reward wages; the higher your performance, the more wages.
Want to resign? You can leave at any time.
If midway you feel the risk in the Fu Ben is too high, you can also interrupt the adventure at any time and leave early.
For example, Qi Sheng saw a fully-formed Fu Ben scene with 32 bosses set up inside.
If a player challenges up to the fifth boss and doesn't want to continue, they can leave at any time through the teleport point in the Fu Ben.
Compared to the Ancient God Race and the Bliss Race's model of draining the pond for all fish in nearby regions, the Blue Lantern Race adopts a sustainable development model.
The Blue Lantern Race even hopes more that nearby races can grow strong, challenge more and harder adventurer Fu Bens, and produce more rule energy for them.
But this system has one limitation.
The Blue Lantern Race will only cultivate those racial forces that have no rules.
When a nearby racial force becomes powerful enough, growing through the resources given by the Blue Lantern Race to the height of possessing rules.
The Blue Lantern Race's mercy will transform into a butcher's blade.
So the underlying logic of this system is actually: fatten them up before slaughter, earning profit from both ends.
They earn rule energy through nearby groups challenging adventurer Fu Bens, then give resources to cultivate their growth, and slaughter them for rules once they possess them.
Of course, if a nearby race is always unable to ascend into a rule force, the Blue Lantern Race doesn't lose out either.
So behind the Blue Lantern Race's seemingly incongruous setting, there is actually a clear underlying logic.
This is a more advanced farm-harvest model than the Ascension Race's.
The Ascension Race cultivates individuals; the Blue Lantern Race cultivates groups; the ultimate purpose of both is profit.
It's just that the Blue Lantern Race's farming model is wrapped in a shell of "freedom."
In the eyes of ordinary groups, the adventurer world created by the Blue Lantern Race is like the heaven-sent fortune or ancient ruins that would likely appear in a xuanhuan novel.
It is regarded as a trial ground left behind by an ancient great power.
As long as one performs outstandingly in the trial, one can obtain generous rewards, and it will even be interpreted as a heritage gift of "it goes to the fated one."
In truth, when a race relies on the resources given by the Blue Lantern Race over long ages and grows to a certain height, it means that race has entered its mature period, and the butcher's blade may fall at any time.
It is like the "Ascension Moment" in the Ascension Race's farm.
Having understood the Blue Lantern Race's growth logic, Qi Sheng became interested in this soon-to-be-generated adventurer world.
The player army under his control clearly doesn't need to worry about being harvested by the Blue Lantern Race, nor does it need to worry about players dying in adventurer Fu Bens.
So this wool, he is determined to shear it.
He decided to wait until the adventurer world is fully generated, then push an update notice to give players a detailed introduction to the adventurer world and build a direct-access channel.
Encourage players to go enthusiastically and earn profit.
In essence, this is yet another kind of alternative win-win model.
Players produce rule energy for the Blue Lantern Race in the adventurer world, and then harvest various types of resource rewards given by the Blue Lantern Race.
For the Blue Lantern Race, this expenditure doesn't matter at all.
In their long years of war, they collected an entire space of "invalid resources."
The Blue Lantern Race has always been generous with the rewards given to adventurers.
