Chapter 288: Big Is Good, Big Is Strong (Requesting Monthly Passes)

Qi Sheng withdrew his gaze from the surging tide of cheers.

With this battle concluded, the players had brought back a Domain Node and a Rule Imprint.

Among them, the Domain's special effect was Qi Multiplication, which, after integrating into Beneath Di Zhao Village, enhanced the Qi production within the space.

As for the Gigantification Rule, Qi Sheng had originally intended to decompose it into Shou Shou Jili.

However, considering the players' feelings and their expectations for the buff brought by their "Gigantification," he ultimately decided to craft it into a group-buff type Rule.

But to achieve this step, direct integration was not feasible.

He still needed to invest a large amount of Shou Shou Jili for optimization.

After all, the Gigantification Rule did not originally belong to the player system; integrating it into the Challenger System required a reconstruction at the Rule level to make it a Rule under the Beneath Di Zhao system.

Secondly, the current strength of the Gigantification Rule simply could not meet his basic requirements.

After glancing at his Shou Shou Jili balance, Qi Sheng began to act.

His figure stood upon the altar.

The instant he closed his eyes, glowing star tracks manifested from the void, orbiting around his body.

Like threads of fate woven by a deity, each star track was composed of the framework of the Monster World, radiating brilliant colors.

Rule Imprints representing Painful Painful Minghun appeared on the star tracks in different colors, with every Rule possessing a predetermined trajectory path.

With a raised hand, a brilliant golden light emerged from Qi Sheng's palm, like the rising sun.

This was precisely the Gigantification Rule contained by the players.

In the blink of an eye, the glowing Gigantification Rule rapidly expanded; the originally condensed golden radiance gradually extended, finally transforming into countless fine threads of laws that enveloped Qi Sheng, weaving together into a golden light net.

"Guide, get to work."

【Boss, coming!】

As the words fell, the Guide manifested his figure from the void.

But relying solely on his currently severely injured body, the Guide was utterly unable to reconstruct the Rule; in this aspect, Qi Sheng still had to drive it with the source power of Beneath Di Zhao.

The source power of Beneath Di Zhao, which had once created countless Rules, was the strongest force capable of driving Rule changes.

With the Guide's assistance, Qi Sheng's consciousness shuttled through the threads of laws.

Where his consciousness passed, every wisp of light thread trembled, decomposed, and reconstructed under his will, emitting a ringing sound.

At this moment, the Gigantification Rule was like a string plucked by an invisible hand, playing the mysterious sound of Rule reshaping.

At the core of the Imprint, the originally unified Rule matrix also peeled away during the process of decomposition and reconstruction, turning into myriad particles of shimmering light that circulated and reorganized between the star tracks surrounding Qi Sheng.

Like a scroll being taken apart.

During the reshaping process, some particles collapsed, some expanded, and some dissipated.

If someone outside could witness this scene, they would surely feel incomparably shocked.

Qi Sheng's figure remained immovable like a sculpture, with only star tracks orbiting and laws submitting.

Those Rule particles being decomposed and reconstructed arranged themselves into new sequences under the guidance of his consciousness, the brilliant scene seeming to create a small universe.

And the entire altar seemed to become the birthplace of a micro-universe, with star tracks orbiting and laws humming low.

Deep within Qi Sheng's pupils, this brilliant Rule reshaping was reflected, as he, in the guise of the Supreme Deity, wrote a new chapter of Rules.

During this period, vast amounts of energy in the Shou Shou Jili pool evaporated, turning into scarlet mist that merged into the Gigantification Rule Imprint.

Finally, the scarlet red faded, completely merging into the gold.

As time passed, the reconstruction of the Gigantification Rule gradually perfected.

Just then, countless swimming golden particles suddenly froze simultaneously.

As if a pause button had been pressed.

The next second, the original golden three-dimensional large net, which had been expanding and spreading outward, collapsed toward the center according to Qi Sheng's will.

All golden particles began to converge toward the central point.

In an instant, it was as if billions of stars were falling toward a central black hole, spontaneously weaving connected meridians during their descent.

Complex Rule Runes appeared one after another during the contraction process, as if zooming in from an Earth perspective to a universe perspective; star after star appeared during the zooming process, passing by Qi Sheng.

The suspended golden star tracks transformed into liquid light flows, injecting into the formed Imprint.

When the last star track merged into the light orb, what emerged in the light was no longer the original Gigantification Rule, but a brand new, reshaped Rule Imprint, its surface flowing with nebula-like patterns, inside which countless tiny Rule Runes, almost invisible to the naked eye, could be seen jumping and operating.

Just as the Gigantification Law was about to condense, Qi Sheng hesitated for an instant.

But he ultimately decided to bestow upon the Gigantification Rule a wisp of his own source power.

To promote it into a true Beneath Di Zhao system Rule.

Since the players were willing to choose this path, he, as the behind-the-scenes controller, naturally ought to support them.

It is just that the future of the Monster Flow is not sufficient with Gigantification alone; to become more perfect, only the players themselves can strive, gathering more Rule powers compatible with Gigantification.

What he could do was open a new growth path for the players; how far they could walk in the future was left to the players themselves.

When a wisp of Qi Sheng's source power descended.

Immediately, brilliant colors erupted on the surface of the golden Gigantification Rule; subsequently, the light slowly receded, finally condensing into a lustrous Rule Imprint.

Qi Sheng raised his hand, and the Gigantification Imprint automatically fell into his palm; the instant it touched his skin, the radiating golden light dissipated.

Not long after, a golden track appeared on the star tracks surrounding his body, with the golden Gigantification Rule orbiting Qi Sheng on it like subjects paying homage to a monarch.

Qi Sheng also opened his eyes at this moment; immediately, the brilliant light dissipated, and all star tracks likewise hid into invisibility.

The Gigantification Domain officially integrated into the Challenger System, and the Gigantification Rule of Beneath Di Zhao's solid self-source, which corresponded to it, also underwent a earth-shattering change in strength.

And his Beneath Di Zhao body, along with the integration of the new Rule, also strengthened by a fraction.

The next step was the update of new content.

Six hours after the Gigantification battle ended.

The update notification echoed in the minds of all players.

【Challenger Notification (All Channels): The rewards for this campaign are about to be settled. The update content for this settlement is as follows】:

Update Content One: Gigantification (Rule).

Rule Introduction: The glory prize of the Gigantification campaign, bestowed upon the ultimate victor tempered by war.

Gigantification bestows not power, but a violent rewriting of the essence of life, allowing warriors who choose this path to break through the shackles of flesh and blood and step onto the true "Path of the Great Beast," thereafter following only the most primal logic of survival, where size is power.

Ability One: Mortal Shedding

Shedding the shackles of the mortal frame, your life form will be redefined, and the obstacles to flesh and blood growth will shatter at this moment.

The path of Mortal Shedding begins with a body of inches and ends with the boundless.

Ultimately, carrying the Dao with the body and containing the heavens within the frame.

Effect Introduction: Size growth receives a 1.5x multiplier; taking the basic life form as the initial state, every increase in size brings a terrifying boost to strength; for every 1% increase in size, all attributes increase by 1% (based on the attributes bestowed by the Painful Painful Minghun).

Example: The Black-Armored Snake's initial form is 1 meter; after the Painful Painful Minghun upgrade, its size grows to 10 meters; after receiving the Gigantification boost, its size reaches 15 meters, resulting in a combat power boost of: 15 times.

Note: Specific details must be understood by going to the new function building "Baojundadian."

Ability Two: Flesh and Blood Perpetuity

Your life no longer follows fragile natural laws; wounds are invitations to evolution, severed limbs are the starting point of rebirth; the larger the body, the more ferocious the roar of flesh and blood, every drop of blood screaming for rebirth, every piece of flesh greedily devouring energy; a ten-meter giant frame, wounds heal like streams converging; a hundred-meter frame, severed limbs regenerate like spring grass growing wildly... a million-meter demon frame, even if only a fragment of bone remains, can still reassemble flesh and blood and return to the world!

Effect Introduction: Taking basic life recovery as the initial state, every increase in size brings a significant improvement in recovery ability; for every 1% increase in size, life recovery speed increases by 3%, gaining the ability of limb regeneration, allowing the body to be completely reshaped over time without drinking potions.

Ability Three: Dharma Form Tyrant.

Flesh and blood have limits; Dharma Forms are boundless.

If one chooses to maintain the original form, then forge a sky-reaching Dharma Form with the soul as bone and will as flesh.

The Dharma Form is neither void nor solid; it is the manifestation of the player's will, an extension of tyranny.

For every zhang the Dharma Form rises, the pressure weighs a fraction more.

Beneath the Dharma Form, grass and trees bow their heads, rivers and lakes cease their flow, and all living beings kneel in submission.

Effect Introduction: This function can be used by both Star Pulse Flow and Monster Flow players; after generating the Dharma Form, the Dharma Form can grow in size following the attributes of the original body (the higher the original body's comprehensive values, the larger the Dharma Form's size); the larger the Dharma Form, the stronger the combat power boost; it can integrate emotional power (Shi).

Cost to unlock new function: 1 million Shou Shou Jili.

Ability Four: None (Pending Unlock)

Introduction: The Path of the Great Beast is a growth path created autonomously by players; it cannot be boosted through the Star Pulse combination system, but can be further enhanced by accommodating external rules to strengthen corresponding abilities in the Great Beast form; Ability Four will unlock after accommodating rule integration (the Star Pulse system can be compatible with some abilities of the Monster system, but the Monster system cannot be compatible with the Painful Painful Minghun characteristic combinations under the Star Pulse system.)

Update Content Two: Tyrant Battlefield (Update Event).

Event Introduction: This event will open 24 hours after the update ends; players can enter the event scene through the new function building "Baojundadian" to experience the Monster Flow gameplay and use related functions of the Monster Flow system for matchmaking battles.

At the end of the event, the top ten thousand ranked players will receive event rewards (Shou Shou Jili).

Event Start: 23 hours 59 minutes 56 seconds (Countdown)

Event Duration: 72 hours (Not yet opened).

Comment Section:

I Am the Strongest Milk Farmer: Monster Flow players are tearing up; heading to Di Zao Village to activate this immediately, opening my own Monster growth path; size growth bringing attribute boosts, this fits Monster Flow players perfectly; I see the hope of the Monster Flow rising again.

Lone Shadow of Darkness: Actually, the strength of the Monster Flow is still inferior to the mainstream Star Pulse; it is just catching up at this stage; the combat power bonus of Star Pulse combinations is multiplicative; for example, the Battle Will Painful Painful Minghun characteristic can allow one's own attributes to improve following battle will; assuming a player gains a 3x full attribute boost during combat, if the Critical Strike Painful Painful Minghun is added at this point, compared to the form without any boost, it is a 9x critical strike; after combining various Painful Painful Minghun, the strength of the mainstream Star Pulse gameplay will increase higher and higher; Monster Flow players should strive to explore new scenes; without powerful new rule support, they will fall behind again soon.

Thousand-Faced Guanshi: As a Monster Flow player, I have endured for so long; now I can finally hold my head high on the forum again; additionally, I advise newbies to definitely choose the Monster Flow; the mainstream Star Pulse gameplay is not as good as the Monster Flow; the Monster Flow is the most invincible choice; size is justice, power is truth; when you are still scratching your heads over how to combine Star Pulse combinations, my Black-Armored Snake form can sweep half the map with a single tail whip; when you use precise movement to avoid damage, I can swallow the entire battlefield in one bite; the Monster Flow is the true way that carves violent aesthetics into the flesh and blood; real men choose the Monster Flow!

Mo Ran: The one above is starting again, right? Yesterday they were singing the swan song of the Monster Flow, and as soon as the version was buffed, their true face was exposed; to be honest, the Monster Flow isn't even fit to hold the shoes of my mainstream Star Pulse gameplay; don't fool newbies into playing; I suggest Monster Flow players collectively switch to the Mount Flow; this school will absolutely not sing a swan song and will continue eternally alongside the mainstream Star Pulse gameplay (Funny. jpg).

Six Strokes Per Second: Unlocking the Dharma Form Tyrant is so expensive; it takes 1 million just to initially unlock and use it; also, what exactly is "Shi"? I've seen it several times on the forum; is there any guide expert who can explain in detail?

Just as players began heated discussion about the new function.

A deafening roar suddenly exploded in the northern district of Di Zao Village.

The earth surged violently like waves, accompanied by the sound of cracking rocks, as a grotesque building broke through the ground from beneath.

The building's shape resembled the skull of some great beast; the entrance was the great beast's gaping maw, standing with two rows of sharp Shi Zhu, with three curved giant bone horns extending from the top, the surface covered in totem spirit patterns, flashing with ominous light under the golden wheel of Di Zao Village.

In the exact center atop the building, a Jin Se Lao Yin was embedded, overlooking the area below like the great beast's single eye, emitting suffocating pressure.

The entire building seemed to breathe, producing a regular rumbling sound with the energy fluctuations dissipating from Di Zao Village, as if it were a slumbering ancient ferocious beast.

Hanging at the building's entrance was a plaque made from the skull of some giant creature, upon which burning flame characters were written: Path of the Tyrant.

Viewed from high above, the building's overall shape resembled a severed head of an ancient ferocious beast.

Players participating in the Gigantification Domain campaign could recognize at a glance that the shape of this skull was precisely the strongest combat unit that appeared in this campaign, and also the leader of the Great Beast Legion: Divine Tiger.

At the same time, a new icon of the Divine Tiger's head appeared in the northern district of the Di Zao Village map; focusing the vision would pop up the relevant introduction.

【Baojundadian】:

Function Building Introduction: Anyone stepping into this place must forge a Wang Zuo with flesh and blood; this is an evolution path belonging to predators; when your footsteps step onto the Tyrant Hall, it means you have issued the most primal challenge declaration to this world.

Players can unlock their own Tyrant growth path within the Baojundadian by consuming Shou Shou Jili.

The appearance of the new function building immediately attracted a large crowd of players to go there.

Especially the guide-expert players; this was a good time for them to earn popularity on the forum; all wanted to seize the opportunity to quickly release relevant guide posts.

A few minutes ago, in the direction of the Colorful Mist Coast.

The night wind, carrying slightly salty seawater, gently brushed over.

The sky hung low, with stars like crushed diamonds scattered across the night sky, shining together with the glowing algae leaping on the sea surface.

During the day, the traces left in players' hearts by fierce battles had been gently smoothed away by the tide.

At this moment, countless players gathered on the beach for vacation; the coastline was bustling with voices yet strangely permeated with tranquility.

Players in twos and threes walked barefoot on the fine silver sand, leaving behind a string of deep and shallow footprints.

Some players had set up a bonfire, the orange-red firelight illuminating their smiling faces still wet with seawater.

Some lay on the beach with eyes closed, letting the surf gently kiss their ankles.

Further off, a few mage-class players were drawing brilliant light patterns across the night sky, their released ink-flames blooming like fireworks — each celebrating the victory in their own way.

Dozens of small lantern-lit boat vehicles floated on the sea, players sitting or lounging, raising cups to drink together.

Occasionally, players out fishing in the sea would burst back through the surface, leaping up and sending up a spray of crystalline water amid a rising chorus of laughter and cursing.

Spirit-chef players set up makeshift stalls, the aroma of grilled fish mingling with the mellow scent of fruit wine drifting on the evening breeze.

At one corner of the shore, three players skewered sea fish on their sword blades to roast; fat dripped onto the charcoal with a sizzling sound, and laughter punctuated their conversation.

Not far off, two assassin-class players were playing a throwing game with daggers — every time a sharp blade landed precisely in a tree trunk, it drew a burst of cheers.

Near the reef area, a Nightshade-race player dressed like a wandering bard strummed a harp, the melodious tune rising and falling with the waves, singing of the ancient, beautiful past of his people as recorded in old texts — stories from before they descended upon Earth.

Further out, a group of Gillfish-race players were holding a comical underwater wrestling match.

The defeated, hurled into the air, crashed into the water, the splash drawing laughter from the watching crowd.

Several Abyss-fish-race players shifted into high-speed fish forms, darting back and forth around the match's perimeter, every so often slapping up splashes with their tails to cause mischief.

Even the players of the Divine Hall Guild, who usually fought nonstop in the Imperial Tomb Mountain Range, were now lounging in pairs and small groups on beach chairs.

The rune-resonance weapons in their hands had become chilled fruit juice and fine wine, and their talk had shifted from tactical deployments to teasing their old rival, the Earth-Overlord.

Thinking of the Earth-Overlord, that old adversary, suffering a setback, they couldn't help feeling a warm satisfaction in their hearts.

During the festivities, one Night Demon-race player, drunk on high-proof spirit fruit wine, wobbled up onto a table and began telling an exaggerated tale of how, when he had first entered the game, he had single-handedly fought 180 floor-sweeping robots — sending his teammates into roars of laughter.

The tide sounded on and on, as if nature itself were keeping the beat for this post-battle revelry.

The fierce clashes and life-and-death struggles of the day had all, at this moment, become a glorious memory.

This was a romance unique to players — to be able to dance on the edge of life and death, and still lightly enjoy joy.

Rather than sinking, unable to pull free, into the grief of clansfolk and kin lost in war.

The night wind roared, yet the atmosphere on the scene was especially intense.

But this quiet was not an ending — it was the most beautiful interlude before the next legend began.

A corner of the beach.

Black Night Is Coming, who was drinking fruit juice and enjoying the delicacies, was at this moment leaning contentedly against a rock, eyes half-closed, listening to the God King recount the thrilling layout of this battle.

Just then, an update notification rang in the minds of all players.

The God King, who had been recounting the "Hand of God" move of Tourist No. 1, instinctively looked up at Black Night Is Coming, who was leaning against the beach rock:

"Brother Black Night, we've got work — wait for the strategy guide post you put up."

"Mm, wait till I post."

Black Night Is Coming, who had also heard the update notification, immediately stood up, brushed the sand from his body, and turned to walk toward the teleport point.

Halfway there, Black Night drained his fruit juice in one gulp, casually tossed the glass cup behind him; it traced a crystalline arc through the air and landed neatly in a recycling bin.

When he reached the teleport point, the languor in his eyes had completely faded, replaced by a fierce, sharp glint.

What came next was his battlefield!

When the blue light of the teleportation array lit up beneath his feet, the laughter and chatter on the beach were shut out.
