Chapter 557: Long-Term Event - The Will in the Stars
Chapter 557: Long-Term Event - The Will in the Stars
[Long-Term Event: The Will in the Stars]
[When the stars gain self-awareness, and civilizations become parasites, the light in the universe will no longer shine. Unfortunately, all of this does not belong to you.]
[This event will award points through the slaying of Star Gods and evil psychic entities. The event will continue until the Cosmic Will returns, is destroyed, or sealed.]
[After the event starts, slaying Star Gods and evil psychic entities will result in a 100% drop rate of treasure chests. The quality of the treasure chest depends on the rank of the Star God or evil psychic entity.]
[After the event starts, slaying Star Gods will also grant special materials.]
[This long-term event will have a points leaderboard, with the final points determining the rankings. A special points shop will also be opened for exchanging items.]
[1st Place: 10 x Self-Selected Event Territory Traits]
[2nd Place: 7 x Self-Selected Event Territory Traits]
[3rd Place: 5 x Self-Selected Event Territory Traits]
[4th to 10th Place: 1 x Self-Selected Event Territory Trait]
[Please note: If the Cosmic Will returns, a limited-time event, the Star Age, will be initiated.]
"Such high rewards," Qin Muye observed the event, first rushing to the points shop to purchase a server transfer voucher and a random dungeon scroll. These items were limited in quantity, with only two of each available. Given his quick reaction, he managed to grab one of each. If he could have bought more, he would have, but each player was only allowed to purchase one of each.
Now, he had two server transfer vouchers and two random dungeon scrolls. No one ever had too many of these.
Of course, besides the special items in the points shop, the ranking rewards were even higher. Self-selected event territory traits were particularly valuable, especially since they were event-specific. General territory traits were much less valuable, but event territory traits were incredibly powerful.
Just like the four territory traits Qin Muye obtained in the Sorcerer Dynasty server, those were event territory traits.
With the self-selection option, these rewards were essentially top-tier.
However, Qin Muye wasn't particularly interested in this event. For him, territory traits were no longer a big deal; the Cosmic Will was the real prize.
As for the limited-time event, the Star Age, which would activate if the event failed, it was similar to the situation in the Magic Continent server, but even more dangerous.
[True Dragon Emperor: ], what do you think?
True Dragon Emperor immediately contacted Qin Muye in the chat channel. This event looked familiar to both of them, especially since True Dragon Emperor's previous server was the Magic Continent, unlike Qin Muye, who had experience in multiple servers.
[: What do I think? I'll just sit back and watch. We'll harvest some points and then use the server transfer vouchers to leave. The Cosmic Will is likely even more powerful than the ancient gods. Remember, the Magic Continent was only a 7th-rank server, but now we're in an 8th-rank server.]
Seeing this, Qin Muye exaggerated the danger, trying to scare everyone first regardless of the actual situation.
[True Dragon Emperor: Makes sense. Are you leaving?]
"Interesting, it seems the server transfer voucher is in True Dragon Emperor's hands. He's testing to see if I have one," Qin Muye couldn't help but smile.
[: Yes, I got one.]
Qin Muye had nothing to hide. He actually hoped for other lords to come and fight, so he could capture them and take all their resources and artifacts.
[Supreme True Man: , do you have any extra server transfer vouchers?]
The other party asked this question right away.
Qin Muye did have an extra, but he didn't want to respond. After all, a server transfer voucher was essentially a second life, and he couldn't just give it to someone else.
Even if he had extras, he wouldn't sell them. If he did, he would demand the other party's entire fortune, but that was impossible. The other party wouldn't give up everything to him.
What would they do in the new server if they did? Start over with nothing?
If they randomly ended up in a 6th-rank server, they might have a chance to start over, but if it was a 7th or 8th-rank server, they would be doomed with no hope of turning things around.
So, it was a paradox.
"Judging by the timing, Wang Wei obtained the Galactic Cube, which means he now possesses all three of the GROX Empire's greatest treasures. This indicates that the protective field, constructed from a secondary dimension to shield the Cosmic Will, has been completely damaged."
"Although there is a delay, the complete damage of the field will take some time."
"The disappearance of Wang Wei's Cosmic Favor talent is also somehow related to this."
Luckily, we have the person and item in hand, with nothing lost.
Qin Muken knew that Wang Wei had become a sacrificial pawn. He could only say that the world was cunning, and nothing was impossible.
When the Spirit-Calling World was first created, it was the rigid and unyielding nature of the system that caused all sorts of problems by constantly creating protagonists. The will of the universe in the Shining Universe server directly took advantage of Wang Wei, a reincarnator, to free itself.
Even the reborn ones seem to have a lot of issues.
It could be said that this was a rebirth, but in reality, it was just a memory. Qin Muken could also transplant similar memories to others, but the key aspect was that the information about the future was real.
This is something only the Cosmic Will is capable of. Qin Muken can tell fortunes, but only within the Tidal World that he's turned into a Serene Sanctuary. It doesn't work in other worlds or servers unless he can take it a step further and directly view the script.
The Cosmic Will is different. Whether it's foreseeing the future or influencing time is another matter, but with genuine opportunities and the favor of the universe, one can achieve anything and everything will go smoothly.
With such a powerful figure backing him, there's no way Wang Wei could lose.
"I wonder what the three major powers will think about this." Qin Muken was certain of one thing; the Stellar Calamity couldn't be hidden from them.
Even if those three lords don't speak up, won't the heroes under their command?
They have quite a few hero units from the Shining Universe server under their command. It's not like they're still using the same old team, but they should still be able to manage.
All of Qin Muken's subordinates required a steady stream of various talents, let alone them.
So basically, there's no point in trying to hide it. If we do, how are we going to organize the event?
There's still one crucial question: where is the Star God? He scanned the entire universe, yet the so-called Star God remains elusive.
In other words, we must stop it. If we can't, it'll be like a repeat of the Magic Continent server incident.
The logic is simple. Once the Universal Will has gathered enough power, it will directly crush everyone in its path.
That's an attack from an entire world, and even the three major forces combined with Qin Muken might not be able to withstand it.
However, there is some good news. Based on the current situation, it seems like a gradual approach is best, rather than giving them a big shock all at once.
At least the Star God hasn't fully conceived yet and needs enough time.
And during this gestation process, there was obviously the protection of the universe, otherwise, how could Qin Muken not be found?
The civilization weapons need to be cultivated as soon as possible, otherwise, the plan to occupy the enemy's nest will be delayed. Although the situation was unexpected, Qin Muken had been preparing for this moment for a long time, so he couldn't give up.
Even if plans don't always go as expected, he had prepared everything for this moment, and he was willing to take a gamble.
Winning would mean directly entering the ninth stage and becoming a big shot. At that time, he wouldn't even fear the ninth-tier servers.
If I lose, it's even simpler. Just choose a copy or transfer to another server; it's just a loss of the 8th-tier Shining Universe server.
After all, this Shining Universe server wasn't his to begin with, and he was still in the planning stages. If it's gone, it's gone, and he wouldn't lose much.
Other lords? Consider them unlucky.
I seriously suspect that I might be a jinx, dooming every world I enter to an early end.
I've only been in the Shining Universe server for a short time, and yet I've already encountered another major crisis. Is this normal? This is not normal at all!
This is a chance, but I'm not fully prepared. I originally planned to create the Many Shadows World as an offensive Titan-class construct after the Civilization's Child experiment succeeded, but now I have to rush things.
He hadn't even fully grasped the entire inheritance system of the GROX Empire, and the Star God Catastrophe had already broken out ahead of schedule.
But if given another year, Qin Muken would have been able to crush him effortlessly, instead of relying on schemes and tactics to do so now.
There is a huge difference between the two. The former has low costs and high returns, while the latter requires a significant investment, which squeezes the profit margin.
