Chapter 129: World Ascension, a Battle to the Death Among Six Servers
Qin Mu Ye’s flying city project has turned into a long-term installment plan. This is partly because it has been upgraded to Tier 4, making the territory too vast and requiring an excessive amount of resources, and partly because the goblins under his command are not yet proficient in the necessary craftsmanship.
The technology required for a flying city is extremely advanced. Even after transitioning to a technical position, there are still numerous issues to address. Moreover, various materials need to be manufactured, and even with the formulas and smelting techniques provided by Qin Mu Ye, the goblins need time to learn and adapt. It’s not as if they can master everything immediately.
Thus, building a flying city has become a long-term project. The territory cannot afford the upfront costs and can only pay in installments.
And where will the installments come from? Of course, it will be through selling military equipment, monopolizing magic crystals, and other means. It’s not as if he can rely on selling luxury goods.
If it weren’t for the incompatibility of the civilization, Qin Mu Ye would have considered opening a stock market to manipulate the financial market, but that might make him a target.
“Whatever, since the Star Fortress flying city has turned into a long-term project, I should focus on developing the Gargoyle-class armor first. With this single-soldier combat armor, all the goblins can have their equipment upgraded.”
Qin Mu Ye took out books and blueprints and began studying.
Then, he suddenly remembered something.
“Now that I’m relatively stable, should I consider getting a partner?”
With his current strength, many factions are eager to send him beauties, whether human, elf, centaur, mermaid, or any other exotic race. There’s nothing they won’t send if Qin Mu Ye can think of it.
All to curry favor with him, a rising arms dealer.
Previously, he had not accepted any of them, prioritizing his safety and being cautious. But now, it doesn’t matter as much since Tier 4 offers a certain level of security.
Just as he was thinking about what kind of wife he should get, a new event in Lord Era suddenly appeared.
【Heavenly Lord · True Dragon Son initiates a long-term event: World Ascension】
【Long-term Event: World Ascension】
【Tier 6 is the limit for Server 9527 of the Magic Continent, but not for the lords. Six servers will compete for one server ascension slot. Successfully defeating other servers will raise the server’s limit to Tier 7.】
【This event will award points for destroying and killing other server lords. The event will continue until only one server’s lords remain.】
【After the event starts, destroying other server lords will grant 100% of their resources and all building blueprints they own or have learned.】
【After the event starts, killing other server heroes or lords will result in a 100% drop rate for treasure chests, the quality of which depends on the hero or lord’s strength.】
【This long-term event will not have a points leaderboard, but a special points store will be available for item exchanges.】
【Participating servers: 9527 Magic Continent, 6654 Ice Cold Tundra, 1318 Creepy Village, 1476 Wasteland City, 5953 Zombie Nation, 2115 Fertile Ocean】
【Note: Chat channels, lord leaderboards, and marketplaces have been merged.】
Qin Mu Ye looked at this and felt a chill run down his spine.
“What the hell? Only one server can survive out of six?”
A long-term event means it won’t end until the conditions are met. More importantly, these five other servers are not to be underestimated.
The Ice Cold Tundra, Creepy Village, and others sound formidable, with only the Fertile Ocean seeming slightly more straightforward. The others are likely filled with formidable opponents.
Qin Mu Ye checked the leaderboard and felt a sense of doom.
【1st: True Dragon Son (9527 Magic Continent), Territory: Dragon’s Nest, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【2nd: Jiang Tianjun (1318 Creepy Village), Territory: Black Cloud City, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【3rd: Sea Dragon King (2115 Fertile Ocean), Territory: Ghost Ship, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【4th: Han Mei (6654 Ice Cold Tundra), Territory: Sunlight Fortress, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【5th: Demon Slayer (9527 Magic Continent), Territory: Sin Temple, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【6th: Chen Sheng (1476 Wasteland City), Territory: Deep Space Base, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【7th: Zombie King (5953 Zombie Nation), Territory: Sky City, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【8th: River Child (2115 Fertile Ocean), Territory: Dragon Bone Warship, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【9th: Green Plum (2115 Fertile Ocean), Territory: Green Plum Merchant Ship, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【10th: Wang Junzi (9527 Magic Continent), Territory: Underworld Shrine, Overall Strength: Tier 6 Champion】
【57th: (9527 Magic Continent), Territory: Mage Tower, Overall Strength: Tier 4 Champion】
【77th.】
"Is this a bit exaggerated?"
What Qin Mu Ye found exaggerated was not that the top twenty were all Tier 6 Champions, but that the six servers combined had only 77 lords. The Fertile Ocean had the most, followed by the Magic Continent where Qin Mu Ye was located.
The most unfortunate was the Creepy Village, which had only Jiang Tianjun left. The remaining three servers had roughly similar numbers.
In other words, the weak had been wiped out, leaving only the strong.
"It seems that lords from different servers have territories with different characteristics?"
In the Magic Continent, the characteristic was a variety of fantastical creatures. The Creepy Village and Zombie Nation were both cities, though the specifics of the Creepy Village were unknown. The Fertile Ocean was a ship, indicating a world composed of the sea. The Wasteland City was a base, though the exact nature was unclear. The Ice Cold Tundra was a fortress, adding to the diversity.
With a massive tremor, Qin Mu Ye saw the sky tear apart as six vast worlds began to connect, merging the original six servers into one massive server.
"Tier 7," Qin Mu Ye sighed. If this had happened two or three months later, he wouldn't be so passive.
"However, this is also an opportunity. We can increase the production of military equipment. This time, it's not just about the lords; the natives will likely get involved as well."
This long-term event, in other words, was a world war. The winner would reach a higher level.
"Then what about Tier 8, 9, and 10? How will that be handled?"
"Is it going to be the same routine? That's ridiculous!!"
"No wonder there was no activity for a month. They were definitely planning something big."
Qin Mu Ye ranted for a while. As for finding a wife, he would put that thought on the back burner for now. He had managed to scrape by in the past, but the pressure was mounting.
In the past, no matter how much trouble there was, it never amounted to a major event. But now, Qin Mu Ye feared he might be captured and thrown into another server as a bomb. This was not an impossible scenario.
"Fortunately, True Dragon Son can still hold things together. Otherwise, we'd be in real trouble. I need to find a way to get this done quickly."
Qin Mu Ye steeled his resolve. When faced with such a situation, hiding was not an option; he had to find a way to deal with it.
"Reform equipment, improve magic, and ramp up military research. If I can't beat the Tier 6 Champions, I can at least bully the weaker ones."
He was the type to avoid conflict if possible, but if he couldn't, it meant he had to fight with all his might.
"Moreover, I need to step up the production of various military equipment. I should have Black Hand adjust the prices."
This time, it couldn't be done by him alone. He needed to collaborate with other lords and natives. Everyone had a common interest, so while there might be some backstabbing, it wouldn't be too overt.
Besides, Qin Mu Ye was the largest arms dealer. At this time, no one would want to cut off their own arm.
But Qin Mu Ye couldn't neglect his own improvement.
"Let's check out the points store. It's surprising that there are special items to exchange without a leaderboard, hmm."
【Random Dungeon Scroll: 100,000 points (1 per person)】
【Server Transfer Voucher: 10,000,000 points (1 per person)】
The two items at the top were these. Qin Mu Ye knew about the Random Dungeon Scroll, and the Server Transfer Voucher was quite interesting. Using it would randomly transfer one to another server, not limited to these six but to any server in Lord Era.
In addition, there were various other items like Apostle Qualification and Artifact Exchange Rights, but unfortunately, the inventory for these items was 0. Clearly, these valuable items were shared across the entire server, so they were snapped up quickly.
Of course, even if they were still available, Qin Mu Ye couldn't afford them. They all started at six-digit points, and apart from the Tier 6 Champions, other lords might not be able to afford them.
"Ah~ Points!!"
Qin Mu Ye wasn't greedy for the Server Transfer Voucher. He wanted the Random Dungeon Scroll. For others, it was a rich reward, but for Qin Mu Ye, it was a whole new world.
"This time, I can't avoid it. I have to fight."
