Chapter 160

The women heard it and all giggled, the atmosphere in the hall became very relaxed and cheerful.

At this moment, Li Qingge ran over, grabbed Li Qingxuan's arm and said, "Brother Qingxuan, we just discussed it—after this, the Bodhi Fruit will be prioritized for you, so you can unlock the Weird Divine Realm's effect faster."

Li Qingxuan nodded and said, "Exactly, that's what I intended. Once my Spirit Value exceeds 1000, I will first pause the priority supply."

Wang Hongmei and Chen Xiulan brought out breakfast, everyone sat together, eating breakfast while continuing to discuss various matters regarding the Weird Divine Realm and future plans.

Li Qingxuan had just taken two bites when the Control Panel suddenly popped up; looking around, unaware that his own panel had popped up, everyone's panels popped up.

【Ding! Global Announcement】

【Now releasing the Coexistence Rules of Ten Thousand Races; please all survivors prepare to respond】

【Rule Seven: Global Ranking System activated, four new rankings added: Shelter Level Ranking (scored by Shelter level and Defense Facility), Resource Reserve Ranking (calculated by total food, water, and supplies), Personal Strength Ranking (evaluated by individual comprehensive attribute values), Race Strength Ranking; the top ten each month will receive special rewards: 1st place: Legendary Building Blueprint*1, Resource Supply Box*5; 2nd-5th places: Epic Defense Facility*1, Resource Supply Box*3; 6th-10th places: High-level Supply Pack*1, Spirit Recovery Elixir*5】

【Rule Eight: Survival difficulty fully upgraded, duration of Natural Disasters increased to once every six months】

【Rule Nine: World Channel function opened: can send 3 free messages per day, extra messages require consuming special item—Small Horn, spreading despairing speech is prohibited, violators muted for 24 hours; Global Trading Platform opened: can post 5 transaction messages per week, new Alliance Function added: can ally with up to 5 camps】

【Rule Ten: New world events: random appearance of Resource-rich Zones (lasting 2 hours), periodically opening Ancient Ruins (can obtain rare blueprints), on full moon nights the Scarlet Chest appears (high reward, high risk)】

Weird Creature evolution: all monsters gain new abilities, regional-level Boss appears (refreshed weekly), added Weird Nest can be permanently cleared.

【Rule Eleven: Weird Planet descends upon the Magic Continent, world adds four great alien factions: Beastman Tribe (values strength, excels in melee), Elf Kingdom (proficient in magic, close to nature), Dwarf City (forging masters, subterranean experts), Dragon Race Nest (sky overlords, ancient wisdom); currently adjusting regional divisions】

【Special reminder: when interacting with alien races, remember—non-human hearts differ; some alien races may view humans as prey or slaves, interracial friendship requires payment, betrayal may come at any time】

【Final reminder: rankings are both glory and crisis; cautiously display your strength. The World Channel may bring help, but may also expose your coordinates. This is not a simple human survival game! In this world teeming with myriad races, humans must either become hunters or prey! Use wisdom and strength to claim a place for humanity!】

The content of the Global Announcement made the hall's atmosphere instantly turn solemn; the women all stopped what they were doing, looking worriedly at Li Qingxuan.

Li Qingxuan furrowed his brows, quickly scanning the new rules on the Control Panel, silently pondering the impact of these changes. He knew that with the activation of the Global Ranking System and the increase in survival difficulty, future days would become even harder.

"Brother Qingxuan, what do these new rules mean for us?" Wang Hongmei was the first to break the silence, her tone tinged with unease.

Li Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "The activation of the Ranking System means we must not only face external threats but also stand out in internal competition. The increase in survival difficulty further requires us to stay constantly vigilant, with no slack whatsoever."

"What about the World Channel and Trading Platform? Will they bring us some convenience?" Chen Xiulan interjected, trying to view the problem from another angle.

Li Qingxuan nodded and said, "The World Channel and Trading Platform can indeed provide us some help, such as obtaining urgently needed resources and making allies. However, we must also be careful not to expose too much information on the channel, lest we invite unnecessary trouble."

"Moreover, those newly added world events and Weird Creature evolution sound dangerous." Li Qingge said worriedly.

Li Qingxuan rubbed her head, comforting her: "Danger and opportunity coexist; although these events and evolution bring challenges, they also provide us opportunities for growth and acquiring rare resources. As long as we prepare well and respond cautiously, we can turn peril into safety."

"What about interacting with alien races? What should we do?" Li Xinxin also raised her question.

Li Qingxuan's eyes were firm as he said, "Interacting with alien races requires caution—we must stay friendly yet vigilant. Non-human hearts differ; we cannot easily trust them. At the same time, we must strive to improve our strength so that alien races dare not act against us lightly."

The women all nodded in agreement after hearing Li Qingxuan's words.

Although the new rules brought many challenges, they believed that as long as they united, there would be no difficulty they could not overcome.

"Alright, don't worry too much." Li Qingxuan stood up, encouraging, "From now on, we will train harder and improve ourselves to prepare for the upcoming challenges. I believe we will definitely secure a place for humanity in this world teeming with myriad races!"

At the same time, other camps also became lively.

Survivors gathered around the campfire or huddled in simple Shelters, watching the Global Announcement pop up on the Control Panel, their faces filled with shock and unease.

Leaders of some small camps urgently summoned members to discuss how to survive under these suddenly introduced rules.

They understood that the increased frequency of monthly Natural Disasters and the addition of world events meant that the already harsh survival environment would become even more perilous.

Meanwhile, in some large camps, leaders quickly assembled think tanks to analyze the potential impact of the Ranking System.

They understood that the special rewards for the top ten each month would become the focus of competition among camps, concerning not only resource acquisition but also the camps' status and prestige among the myriad races.

At the same time, the opening of the World Channel gave survivors their first opportunity to communicate with other humans worldwide.

In the Channel, various messages poured in—some sought help, some offered resource exchanges, and some spread uneasy remarks.

But soon, the System Panel began fulfilling its duty, muting those who spread despairing remarks to maintain order in the Channel.

On the Trading Platform, various camps posted their trade information, attempting to obtain needed resources through exchange.

Moreover, the opening of the Alliance Function led some camps that were originally close and got along well to start seeking allies to jointly face future challenges.

However, not all survivors felt panic about the new rules.

Some strong individuals or camps, upon seeing the Ranking System and world events, had their eyes light up with excitement instead.

They knew this was an excellent opportunity for them to display their strength, acquire rare resources, and even leap to become top-tier beings among the myriad races.

Within the territories of the alien factions, the release of the rules likewise stirred up waves.

The chieftain of the Beastman Tribe waved a massive War Axe, roaring orders for his people to intensify training, preparing to secure a place in future competition.

The mages of the Elf Kingdom gathered in the Elf Forest, researching how to use the newly added world events to obtain greater magical power.

The artisans of the Dwarf City began forging sturdier Defense Facilities and finer weapons to cope with possible threats.

In the Dragon Race Nest, the ancient Dragon Race elder opened his eyes, gazing into the distance, as if sensing the impending change.

The entire world was plunged into unprecedented turmoil and opportunity because of this single Global Announcement.
