Chapter 150: The World Ascension Event Concludes and the Return of the Ancient Gods
After a loud noise, Qin Muye scratched his head, not giving it much thought.
What can you say, the fight has already started.
The True Dragon Emperor made the first move, directly restraining Jiang Tianjun. The remaining six 6th-rank lords from the Magic Continent, such as the Lord of the Dead and the Demon-Slaying Hermit, also joined in.
Even the 4th and 5th-rank lords joined in, though they were just there to make up the numbers. Qin Muye didn't join them.
Why would he go over there to die? His small frame would be beaten to death on the spot.
Though Jiang Tianjun's legacy is valuable, that's only if he can survive. Then, they would need to gang up and kill him to claim it.
Otherwise, there's no way to get it.
Actually, the fight didn't surprise Qin Muye. After all, a deadlock would eventually lead to action. What he didn't predict was who would make the first move and how they would do it.
Currently, the 6th-rank lords from the Magic Continent have formed a temporary alliance, with one goal: to keep Jiang Tianjun from leaving.
Qin Muye has no idea when the alliance was formed. Such confidential matters are unlikely to be known by him. It's not like the entire world would know right after the alliance was formed.
If that were the case, it would only mean one thing: there's a mole among the allies.
After all, they are planning to trap a powerful figure, one who can escape at any moment. It's impossible for the plan to leak.
With such a massive interest at stake, anyone who leaks the information would likely be killed before they could even get to Jiang Tianjun.
"I suspect that all the sarcastic and mocking messages in the chat channel these days were just an act." Qin Muye shook his head, feeling somewhat strange.
It seems he was the only one being fooled.
Perhaps the cooperation was already decided the moment the news was released.
Children see the right and wrong, but adults are blinded by their interests. This forced Jiang Tianjun into a desperate situation, making it seem like the True Dragon Emperor was on the verge of collapse. However, in reality, a tight circle of protection was formed around him.
This sudden ambush left Jiang Tianjun no time to use his server transfer voucher to leave, indicating that he truly fell into a trap and was restricted.
Otherwise, facing the combined attack of several 6th-rank lords, he would have no choice but to flee.
A True Dragon Emperor is already a formidable opponent, let alone the others.
"Compared to the interests, these are just trivial matters." Qin Muye knew that the lords were only united on the surface, with hidden conflicts. They would only gather if there was enough interest.
"While I was complaining, two lords are already gone."
Qin Muye suddenly noticed that he had become the last on the leaderboard, meaning the two 4th-rank lords behind him were eliminated.
They were likely killed by the aftermath of the battle. With several 6th-rank lords fighting, the impact was sometimes felt even from a distance. It's foolish to go near such a battle.
Although he became the last, his ranking improved by two places because a 5th-rank and a 6th-rank lord died earlier, probably killed instantly by Jiang Tianjun.
"Cheaters meeting cheaters, tsk." Qin Muye increasingly felt that the participants in this divine battle were not ordinary people.
"Kill each other, preferably to the death. Well, that's unlikely. Jiang Tianjun is doomed, I'm saying, not even Jesus can save him!"
Qin Muye doesn't know what methods they used to restrict Jiang Tianjun's departure, but he needs to be prepared.
After all, if they can restrict Jiang Tianjun, they can also restrict him.
"Only extraordinary people can reach the first tier, and I seem to encounter a lot of them."
But then Qin Muye thought, if all 1000 people in the server were ordinary, they would have died during the adaptation period and wouldn't have lived this long, let alone have the ability to initiate the world ascension event.
This means that if Qin Muye continues to stay in the Magic Continent server, he will inevitably deal with various prodigies.
Just thinking about it is overwhelming.
The survivors are all prodigies; ordinary people have long died in various events.
"Damn, I don't want to play with these cheaters. I just want to sell some military supplies and build my floating city." Qin Muye suddenly realized that he is being pushed into a situation where falling behind means death.
"But that's not right, in this situation, how many can survive?"
Qin Muye realized that he could switch to a less competitive server if he wanted to.
As long as everyone is trash, who can initiate the world ascension? Wouldn't they all just be living off their wits and fighting for survival, oh, wait, that's not right. They should be outsmarting the natives.
From what it looks like, not just anyone can casually initiate a world ascension. It requires sufficient strength and a matching process.
Moreover, with the current level of brutality, no one knows if the victor will be themselves. Some lords, if they crave stability, are more likely to kill all the other lords in their server and then safely transition.
In this case, the six servers that initiated the event all have ambitions, which is why they started it.
【Server 1318: Mysterious Village Eliminated】
A sudden change occurred, and Qin Muye saw that the second-ranked Jiang Tianjun had disappeared from the leaderboard. The entire world began to undergo drastic changes.
【This Round's Winner: Server 9527 - Magic Continent】
【Current World Tier: 7】
【1. Server territory expands a hundredfold, resources increase a hundredfold】
【2. Lord and territory tier limits raised to Tier 7】
Remove special exchanges from the Points Shop.
【4. Initiate long-term event: Return of the Ancient Gods】
【5. Remove the 7th-tier limit for natives】
【6. Other details to be explored】
"I can understand winning, but what the heck is the Return of the Ancient Gods?"
Qin Muye's eyes nearly bulged out. This thing doesn't sound good at all.
He knew about the ancient gods. The Divine Seed, the Crimson Source, and others were all born from a flesh ancient god, but this ancient god was an outsider.
However, this time, the Return of the Ancient Gods is clearly not from an outsider but from a local species.
"Is it because the world tier has been raised, leading to the awakening of ancient gods who were previously unable to awaken?" After reading the event details, Qin Muye's thoughts of fleeing grew stronger.
【Long-term Event: Return of the Ancient Gods】
【Ancient deities are awakening from their distant deaths. The world's advancement has given Them the possibility to erode the entire Magic Continent from the land of eternal silence. When the entire Magic Continent is eroded by Their divine power, They will return.】
【This event will award points through slaying ancient god minions, purifying ancient god erosion, and clearing ancient god ruins. The event will continue until the ancient gods awaken or are re-erased.】
【After the event starts, slaying ancient god minions will drop treasure chests with 100% chance, the quality of which depends on the strength of the minion.】
【After the event starts, purifying ancient god erosion will grant additional points and special materials.】
【After the event starts, clearing ancient god ruins will grant high-value instance rewards.】
This long-term event will feature a leaderboard, where final scores will determine rankings and allow for special exchanges in the Points Shop.
【1st Place: Mythic Bloodline: Ancient God】
【2nd Place: Artifact: Corrupted World】
【3rd Place: Artifact: Egg of All Things】
【4th to 10th Place: 10 High-tier Treasures of Choice】
【Note: If the ancient gods awaken, a limited-time event: Doomsday Bell, will be initiated.】
"Although it's a bit of a trap, it at least holds back the other lords' ambitions and prevents internal strife."
If the event fails and the limited-time event is initiated, Qin Muye suspects that it means the end of the world. Otherwise, why would it be called the Doomsday Bell.
As for the ranking rewards, to be honest, Qin Muye finds them quite appealing, but they are likely a big trap. So, he only wants to get a high-tier treasure of his choice.
Opening the Integral Store, he saw that special exchanges were available again.
This time, there were no server transfer vouchers or instance tickets, but a large number of high-tier treasures appeared.
For example, the Dragon Blood from the previous Dragon Blood event, the Dragon Heart, and other items. Additionally, there were high-tier treasures like the Black Magic Sword, the Necromancer's Amulet, and the Titan's Sword, which are components of various artifacts.
Although the exchange prices are high, Qin Muye knows this is an opportunity.
It must be due to the world tier increase and the intensity of the event, otherwise, these treasures wouldn't be available. Otherwise, he would have to get them from the leaderboard.
"Looks like I really need to give it a shot. Regardless, if I can get an artifact and then flee, many things will become much simpler."
Artifacts provide visible boosts to heroes or territories, almost like a bug-level enhancement. For example, the Ring of the Mage allows a mage hero to become a zero-cost artillery mage, and the Source of Magic is a powerful source of magic.
