Darkness, fall, sea bottom, abyss!
Huo used all his strength to die with the Nightmare King. Ji Ye's body and soul were disintegrated by the red light emitted by the scarlet eye in the earth-shattering collision.
Only the last trace of consciousness is slowly retained!
However, this trace of consciousness is also rapidly becoming silent, just like a person falling on his back into the sea water, constantly falling towards the depths of the trench, with less and less sunlight in his field of vision, and is about to be swallowed up by the boundless darkness.
Ji Ye didn't have any fear in his heart.
After all, dying in the Land of Heritage is not really dying!
But, to be honest, he had some emotions in his heart. After initially passing the "internal test assessment" and learning about the magic of the inheritance land, the goal he set for himself was to reach a sufficient level to explore ways to resurrect his parents. .
Therefore, at the beginning, he kept telling himself to put improving his strength first.
Moreover, saving your own life should be your priority under any circumstances!
But I don’t know since when, my mentality has gradually changed. Although I still insist on the original intention of improving my strength, whenever I encounter some major decisions that require my own decision, I will unconsciously stand on the overall side of Dragon City. Thinking from a standpoint, making decisions from the standpoint of how to best maintain a survival base with complex personnel and powerful enemies surrounding it, and how to enable Dragon City to go further in the land of inheritance.
For this reason, you can even sacrifice some of your own personal interests.
Although I keep justifying myself, it is to invest something first to develop the stronghold, and then get more rewards from the developed stronghold.
In fact, I know in my heart that this contribution has exceeded certain limits.
Especially today's battle.
Maybe other people don't have much choice, but he is different.
As a transcendent eighth-level being, even if he cannot defeat the Nightmare King, he can still choose to retreat.
Leaving the Dragon City Continent and going to the vast sea, relying on the abilities and strength that I have developed through survival in the wild and extreme challenges, I can definitely live in this place of inheritance.
However, this idea of escaping never even occurred in his mind.
In addition, for this last blow, no one asked him to hold back without any reservations, to use eight or nine points of his strength to fight against the Nightmare King, and to use the remaining strength to protect himself from such an ending. This is what ordinary people think of. "Do your best"!
As a result, he did not hold back at all when he took action, even burning his body and soul.
Just because he knew that there was only one chance to kill the Nightmare King. If 90% of the power could not kill it, everyone in the stronghold would collapse and despair, and the Nightmare King would recover quickly.
But having exhausted all his luck, he has no way to heal himself!
Is this behavior of sacrificing oneself for others and deviating from the original "original intention" right or wrong
Or perhaps, it is one's own "original heart" that makes this choice.
I once thought I was far away from the human world, surviving alone in the wilderness, but I still couldn't help but post videos online to follow and communicate. How could I ever truly leave human society? "Human" is actually a social creature, the kind of completely Those who give up everything and only care about themselves can no longer be called "human beings".
However, many people may not agree with this view.
Alas, I don’t know how the new stronghold will face him after he is reincarnated, the "number one player on earth" who has lost his extraordinary power. On the surface, he will compliment him for his sacrifice for mankind, but in fact, he will laugh at him for being too much. "Holy Mother"!
In a short period of time, many thoughts flashed through Ji Ye's head.
Pictures even emerged, perhaps this is the legendary "revolving lantern" before death!
"City Lord, where is the City Lord!"
"The city lord is missing. Could it be that... he died in the battle?"
"No, the city lord must still be alive!"
"Why is this happening? I am willing to trade my life for the city lord's safe return."
In the picture, it is the Dragon City Continent that has become dilapidated due to this fierce battle. The earth has collapsed and the mountains and rivers have been displaced.
Many heroes who were injured in the battle, but still gritted their teeth and fought bloody battles, and who refused to bow down in the face of the terrifying mental oppression of the Nightmare King, all had sad looks on their faces.
Jiu Shu, Lu Zhishen, Yan Qing, Gongsun Sheng, Nie Xiaoqian, Zhao Yun and other people closest to Ji Ye all had tears in their eyes. Although Li Yuanba, who was regarded as a troubled boy, did not speak, he fiercely raised his red gold war hammer. Throwing it high, it killed an extraordinary alien that had just flown into the sky. The red eyes reflected on it were enough to show his thoughts!
Even people like Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Yang Zhi, and Xin Qiji, who have been used to seeing life and death on the battlefield for many years, have a somewhat gloomy look on their faces!
And the most ordinary people cried loudly.
For example, Ji Ye killed the black snake and rescued the original aborigines of Erlong Village. All of them, led by an old man named Hu Feng, knelt on the ground and prayed to God to open his eyes and protect Ji Ye from death; Several children learning musical instruments who were betrayed by their own humans and rescued from the "Jiaofang" stronghold that was about to be destroyed by the Magma Tribe were also wiping away tears while playing the music of "Nine Songs of National Sorrow".
There are also Guobei County, Longmen Grottoes, Diaoyu City... Millions of people cried at the same time, and thousands of prayers gathered together, inspiring a kind of thing similar to the one that gave birth to the Nightmare Clan before, but opposite to it. The positive extraordinary power!
And Ji Ye, who was confused and about to completely dissipate consciousness, felt a piece of information appear in his mind.
["For the sake of your own race and civilization, you must fight to the death with powerful enemies to meet the hidden promotion conditions of the 'Imperial Dragon Contract' talent. Your 'Imperial Dragon Contract' talent has been upgraded to inheritance quality. Obtain new Features: You can be resurrected by the faith of the contracted creature."]
["Do you want to use this feature?"]
So, is this the origin of the "inheritance" level talent skills
"However, I have already exhausted all my 'contribution points' when I made contracts with a large number of outstanding people. At this time, I don't have the power of luck to use my natural skills."
In a daze, Ji Ye didn't forget to complain.
["Kill the Nightmare King (Extraordinary Level 8·Legendary), gain experience: 992000, gain merit: 72029, gain rare merit: 5534!"]
However, at this moment, another piece of new information came to mind.
But it was the "Nightmare King" who also perished. His consciousness completely dissipated before him and he was judged to be dead.
Wow!
At the same moment that he killed the Nightmare King, Ji Ye's already depleted "power of luck" quickly resumed growth like a flood.
Ultimately, it's not just back to before the fight but far beyond.
Immediately afterwards, between heaven and earth, as if time and space were flowing backwards, a large amount of power of luck gathered together to form a golden light group, forming a human figure just like when a hero meets someone!
"Ah, it's the city lord!"
"City Lord, City Lord is still alive!"
"Since we are really alive, our prayers are effective!"
Seeing the figures in the sky, there were cheers and joy everywhere from the Dragon City Continent, to the Dragon Kingdom on the earth, to the rest of the countries on the earth.
Ji Ye, whose body was completely recast, looked down from a high position and saw tears on the excited faces of more than half of the people. This scene itself was already the highest praise and reward for him.
Ji Ye had a clear understanding in his heart, that is, it would not matter if he died in battle, because each of these people would use the "resurrection" they obtained after the stronghold promotion legendary "settlement" this time, just like he did to Chu Yin. The quota brought him back to Dragon City.
"He's actually still alive."
"We have no chance!"
"I don't want to lose my mind, I'm willing to surrender!"
After Ji Ye was resurrected, the remaining aliens were inevitably desperate, and their morale suddenly fell to the bottom. Some even surrendered like the giant dragons.
"Kill them all!"
"Leave no one behind!"
"Avenge your dead brother."
However, nearly half of the humans died in this battle. With such deep hatred, how could humans accept the surrender of these alien races in front of them? How could humans directly rely on the "Imperial Dao Dragon Contract" and reversely use Ji Ye's power to increase their combat effectiveness? Kill them under the leadership!
"The stronghold of the Kingdom of Sand comes to help in the battle!"
"The stronghold of Forest Country is here to help in the battle~"
At this time, the few remaining strongholds no longer hesitated. Perhaps they were finally able to take some free time from their own battles, or perhaps they were thinking of icing on the cake.
At this point, there is no doubt that there is no suspense about Dragon City's promotion to the legend this time.
"boom!"
When the last extraordinary "lich" was hit by Qin Yueyu's miniature "Golden Crow Nuclear Bomb Arrow", the battle ended in a way that almost killed several "reinforcement" players from the Lion Kingdom.
["Your stronghold has successfully passed the overall promotion assessment, and the core quality of the stronghold has been upgraded to legendary level."]
"hold head high!"
A huge amount of yellow light merged into the body of Longcheng's Luck Golden Dragon, causing the latter to excitedly rush into the sky and let out a thundering dragon roar.
Along with its roar, a large number of alien bodies began to decompose into the power of luck and merged into the land of Dragon City. In the blink of an eye, mountains, rivers, and lakes were formed everywhere, and the small land where Dragon City was located began to form. It has expanded, more than doubled, and its total area is already comparable to that of a small country on Earth.
["Your stronghold has obtained an exclusive mythical weapon 'Twenty-Four Histories'!"]
After a part of the power of luck was fused, a huge "epic stone gate" was formed suspended above the altar, carved with various totems and written records belonging to different dynasties.
[Twenty-Four Histories]
Level: Extraordinary ninth level
Level: Myth
Description: You can create a 'illusion' based on history, enter it and experience the friendship with the outstanding people in it to a certain extent, and you can directly lead people to Dragon City by consuming the power of luck!
It is indeed a "mythical" item, and it can directly attract outstanding people.
You must know that the entire "Twenty-Four Histories" records the Dragon Kingdom civilization from the Three Emperors to the late Ming Dynasty. In addition, the players are all modern people and have inherited modern culture to the greatest extent.
It can be said that with the acquisition of this artifact, Dragon City has completed the protection of Dragon Kingdom's own civilization, and is worthy of the heroes and ancestors of past generations!
And if this reward only makes the Chinese people feel excited.
The next reward will make people all over the world excited.
["The civilization race to which you belong has obtained a new batch of quotas for entering the inheritance land: 960709. The quotas for this batch of personnel will be announced in three days. After seven days, they will all arrive at the 'Dragon City' stronghold!" ”]
This news was also announced on Earth at the same time, and was cheered by the world.
After all, this means that the "Doomsday Ticket" has an additional 1 million places, and this part of the places corresponds to those who have already advanced to the Legendary Dragon City Stronghold!
In addition to this part of the randomly assigned places.
In this promotion assessment, the top 10,000 players and aboriginals with the highest contribution scores also received a certain "invitation quota" just like the last extraordinary promotion.
As for this part of the quota, one can imagine what kind of crazy competition there will be on earth.
After all, when the major strongholds were promoted to extraordinary in the last round, no one actually knew the news about the "Great Darkness".
And there are not many specific people who can advance to the extraordinary level, so except for some wealthy people who spent a lot of money to buy some places at the beginning, the price of subsequent places has actually become lower and lower.
However, based on the difficulty of the legendary promotion test faced by Dragon City this time, there is no doubt that there is a high probability that the entire earth civilization will eventually be able to advance to less than ten strongholds.
The most important thing is that with the advancement of Dragon City, all the strongholds that went to Dragon City to help out received a reminder.
Ordinary players will not be able to be directly reincarnated into Dragon City if their rare merits are insufficient, but they can obtain a certain "reincarnation quota" based on their performance in this battle.
Obviously, the "settlement restrictions" of the legendary stronghold, which are similar to the first-class cities on the earth, make people a little unprepared. It also makes some people who just want to come to Dragon City to pick up bargains and can't work in the battle feel the stronghold is like a bolt from the blue!
Of course, legendary strongholds are naturally different from extraordinary strongholds.
That is, people belonging to Dragon City can use rare merits to directly exchange for "invitation quotas", each with 100 points of rare merits.
This quota is not expensive. Killing a metamorphosis-level alien in this battle can roughly obtain one to ten rare merit points, and killing an extraordinary-level alien can directly obtain about 100 rare merit points. Just In this promotion assessment, Longcheng received more than 1 million rare merits...
However, this exchange is not without limitations.
Because each "Legendary Continent" also has an upper limit on the number of people it can accommodate based on the power of destiny it possesses.
Therefore, there is also an upper limit on the number of places that can be purchased.
In this case, the order in which you can spend rare merit to purchase quotas will be determined based on the ranking of your contribution to the stronghold.
After the promotion, the maximum number of people that the "Dragon Continent" where Dragon City is located has been able to withstand has been raised to five million.
This number is obviously not large, and it is far from enough to even accommodate the people who currently have player quotas on the entire planet. This should be the reason why Dragon City has "settlement restrictions."
Fortunately, the "Battlefield of Luck" will be fully opened next. Strongholds that have reached the legendary level can compete with other races for the power of luck and rare merits in this way that will not lead to death.
As long as human beings are strong enough, the power of destiny will be enough for human beings to gain 10 million, 100 million... or even all human beings!
When this news spread to the earth, the dark clouds of the "Great Darkness" that had been shrouding it dissipated a lot. People rushed to tell each other and cheered. The scene was ten times more joyful than the most grand festivals in various countries.
The already collapsed social order has also been stabilized and restored with the intervention of major player bases headed by Dragon City that are expected to be legendary!
Of course, not everyone cheers, and it is inevitable that some people in some countries are a little sad.
For example, the Indian-Vatican people saw their country’s “future number one player on earth” being beaten.
For another example, Sakura Kingdom was originally ranked first, but at the last moment decided to "reinforce" Dragon City. As a result, it directly ran into the Nightmare King with full firepower, and was killed by a wave of "Navigation" without even showing up. King's stronghold!
Well, wait, One Piece Stronghold isn’t actually too sad.
Because, after seeing more than a dozen of the original management powers through the live broadcast, the remaining players in the One Piece stronghold were wooing forces such as the "Denryujin", "Navy Headquarters", "Yonko", and "Shichibukai". Engaged in a round of civil war for power.
At this time, few people could care less about being sad.
The only people who really mourned the whole country were probably the people of Goryeo.
At this time, every household in the country was crying, and forums were full of "Oppa, Ernie..."
"The last stronghold of Samsung Kingdom has just been destroyed... In other words, there is no stronghold in their country anymore. All players will probably be reincarnated in us, Sakura Kingdom, or Chao Kingdom... You know The relationship between these countries and Samsung people is not very good."
"The most important thing is that according to the current rules, Samsung Country will not be able to have any new player quotas in the future."
"I'm afraid they will say that the Dragon City stronghold belongs to them in the future!"
Everyone believes that with the existence of Dragon City, the Dragon Kingdom can definitely avoid the fate of the Samsung Kingdom.
In addition to the rewards belonging to the stronghold, Ji Ye received personal rewards, which were actually more meaningful.
["You led your stronghold to complete the legendary assessment. Based on your comprehensive performance in all previous stages, your evaluation is upgraded to 'quasi-mythical'."]
["You have been given the opportunity to create a piece of your own mythical equipment and an exclusive mythic skill... You have been given the opportunity to make a range of 'requests' to the place of inheritance, including but not limited to resurrecting creatures."]
There are many rewards, which can be overwhelming.
However, the word "resurrection" directly caught Ji Ye's attention, and the faces of his parents immediately came to mind.
However, there was some hesitation.
Because, by this time, he had understood that the people resurrected in the inheritance place were actually "clones" with true self-awareness formed based on everyone's impressions.
In this regard, Ji Ye couldn't make a decision for a while, so he simply ignored it for now!
["The quality of your human city card has been upgraded to 'quasi-king'!"]
Then, Ji Ye looked at the last message.
Based on his current assessment, he should be qualified to obtain more information from the human city.
