Chapter 132 Three years later, the final replacement begins!
"No news from your brother yet?"

At the dinner table, Luo's mother took two bites and put down her chopsticks before asking.

Opposite her is her daughter Luo Qiu, whose temperament is completely different from before she became a replacement, and her husband, who has returned to normal after gaining a little weight.

Today, three years have passed since the 'open beta day'.

Both the Blue Water Star and the Gray Region have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Of course, the term "public beta day" is actually a nickname among the people. The time point when the first batch of souls will be launched is called the public beta of the Super Dimensional Spirit, and the soul-transforming people before that are naturally the so-called internal beta testers.

In the past three years, the number of replacers on Water Blue Star has increased, and has grown at a geometric rate.

The three empires, which had originally turned a blind eye, could no longer sit idly by.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that when the number of replacers reaches a certain critical point, they will no longer be as 'honest and obedient' as before.

There are even many replacers who are apolitical themselves and are unwilling to be bound by the seven political systems before they gain power.

After becoming a replacer, he acted more and more unscrupulously.

Therefore, the situations in the Gray Domain and the Blue Water Star are developing in a more chaotic direction, and the situation in the Gray Domain is actually more serious than that in the Blue Water Star.

Some displacers who are unwilling to be lonely will even cooperate with the underground forces of the three empires and even the remnants of evil gods to stir up unrest everywhere.

The seven political systems originally thought about establishing the Fourth Empire in the Gray Domain, and had also discussed it with the three major empires. However, with the lone wolf replacers adding fuel to the fire, more and more conflicts were caused.

When mutual trust does not exist, there is naturally nothing to talk about.

In the second year after the "open beta day", the conflict between the two sides finally came to the surface. The most radical Red Flame Empire even directly issued a wanted order for the Replacer!
Anyone who has not registered their detailed identity characteristics in the Red Flame Empire and has not obtained the replacement of the 'Red Flame Seal' can be arrested!

Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!

As for what the 'Red Flame Mark' is, to put it simply, it is a red flame mark branded just below the neck with a branding iron, which is essentially a slave mark.

This almost humiliating approach naturally triggered a massive backlash, but the Red Flame Empire didn't care at all.

After a large number of replacers died, the remaining replacers finally accepted this rule humiliatingly. Some replacers eventually fled to the other two empires and areas outside the influence of the three major empires.

However, although the Storm Empire and the Titan Empire did not go as far as the Scarlet Flame Empire because their royal families had certain connections with the Replacers, radical voices within the empires were still the mainstream.

Under such circumstances, even the royal family would not act arbitrarily.

Just like the Storm Empire, the current Emperor Jaeger is said to have a past relationship with the Replacer.

But as the ruler of a country, he could not be swayed by some of his former personal relationships. The most important thing to him was always the interests of the empire.

Therefore, even for the displacers within the Storm Empire, living conditions are equally difficult.

These three years were also the years with the most tragic casualties on Water Blue Planet.

The Blue Water Planet originally had a population of more than three billion, but as one-tenth of its people gradually became replacers, the original order had long since disappeared, and chaos, war, confrontation... were inevitably apparent.

The population of more than three billion dropped sharply to less than one billion in just a few years. Even Da Yan, which was relatively least affected, was not spared.

Since Luo Qiu became the replacement, Luo's father and mother also gradually welcomed this change.

Fortunately, Luo Qiu is now at the silver level, and he also has the relationship with the Dusk Village. Although he cannot change the overall situation, he can still protect himself.

It is worth mentioning that as the number of replacers increases, the gray domain itself has actually undergone some changes.

Some people who had been stuck at the silver level for many years were able to cross that threshold very easily. The lower-level golds also found it easier to break through to the middle-level golds, and the number of upper-level golds that were once rarely seen in a century also increased.

To sum up, breakthroughs are becoming easier and easier.

It was as if the whole world had been unshackled, making it easier for everyone to get promoted, which naturally brought more casualties.

As for why Luo's mother suddenly asked Luo Qiu about Rorschach, it was mainly because Rorschach had not appeared for almost three years.

Although Luo's mother also learned from Luo Qiu that her son had already been a top-notch replacer, he should be fine.

But after not seeing her for three years, she was still very worried.

"I asked Sister Xueqi when she came back last time. She said my brother is fine. He just encountered a minor accident and can't come back for the time being." Luo Qiu said.

"But……"

"Don't say buts. I've already told you it's okay, so don't ask. It's useless to embarrass Xiaoqiu about this matter." Father Luo interrupted.

"Do you think I'm as heartless as you? What's wrong with me worrying about my son who hasn't come back for three years? Why do you think it's a problem?" Luo's mother said dissatisfiedly.

As Luo's father interrupted, Luo's mother's attention shifted to her husband, and she finally stopped asking questions about Rorschach.

Seeing this, Luo Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she didn't tell the whole truth to Luo's mother, because Su Xueqi also left the Gray Region a year ago and went to the world outside the Gray Tower.

She actually had no idea of ​​Rorschach's situation. Just as she was complaining in her heart, the familiar voice of the Super Dimensional Spirit rang in her ears again:

"The final replacement is about to begin. The Aquamarine Star and the Gray Region are about to merge. After this replacement, there will be no next replacement."

"The Battle of the Hundred Realms is about to begin. This is a battle of civilizations, but also a battle of individuals!"

"The winner lives, the loser dies!"

"The final survivor will receive supreme glory and the opportunity to evolve!"

This voice made Luo Qiu's face change drastically!

However, what she didn't know was that it wasn't just her and the other displacers on the Blue Water Star who heard this voice.

Those who did not return to the Blue Water Star, or even went outside the Gray Domain, also heard this voice.

……

"Oh my god, the Battle of Hundred Realms?"

After hearing the voice of the super-dimensional spirit, Jin Kara couldn't help but let out a low cry!
"Don't be so jumpy all the time. You're already a wizard's apprentice and yet you're still so irritable." The middle-aged man next to him said helplessly.

The middle-aged man's name is Gustave Rodrigo, the former president of the Demon Society, the patriarch of the Rodrigo family, and Jin Kara's father.

Today, he is already one of the top high-level wizard apprentices in the Grey Tower Academy and is regarded as one of the most promising candidates for promotion to Morning Star!

You know, it has been less than twenty years since the replacement of Water Blue Star started.

In just twenty years, Gustav has gone from an ordinary person to where he is today.

This speed of promotion is rare even in [Grey Tower Academy].

However, Gustav vaguely felt that the overall promotion speed of the replacers was much faster than that of others, and it became faster and faster as time went on, as if they were favored by some kind of mysterious fate.

But he was not very happy about it, because he knew that there was no free lunch in the world.

Since the identity of a swapper brings such advantages, there must be a price to pay in the end, so he was not surprised at all by the hint just now.

Because he had foreseen this day coming.

In fact, the other top replacers were the same and were mentally prepared for this.

"Hurry up and become stronger. This will be our last chance. I will try to break through Morning Star before the Battle of Hundred Realms. If you fail, you will have to rely on yourself from now on." Gustav looked at his son and said.

The old butler Peter at the side said quickly: "No, sir, if you can't succeed, no one on the Blue Water Star can succeed."

"Old Pete always talks nonsense, but this time I agree with his point of view. Dad, please don't let me down. I'm still waiting to chew on you for the rest of my life!" Jin Kara said with a smile on his face.

"You useless thing, get out of here and practice!" Gustav was furious and drove Jin Kara out directly.

……

Gray Tower Continent, inside the [Tower of Omniscience].

"The War of Hundred Realms? Tsk, I knew this day would come." The silver-haired young man who was borrowing books in the library also heard the prompt sound.

He closed the book he had just read halfway, brought it to the door of the library, and said to the old man wearing a pair of frog glasses at the counter: "Uncle Kraft, please record it for me. This is the only book I want to borrow."

The old man Kaf in the toad mirror did not help him record it immediately. Instead, he looked at the bloody little toad squatting on his shoulder and said:
"Will you really not consider selling this little guy to me? I promise you won't get a bad price for it. I really like it."

"Cuck!!"

The bloody little toad angrily shouted at the old man Kaf in the toad mirror, as if asking him to get out.

"Hahahahahaha, this little guy has quite a temper. The more I look at him, the more I like him." The old man Kaf in frog-eye glasses laughed.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Kraft, Xiao Gu is my partner and I won't sell it." The silver-haired young man shook his head apologetically.

"Well, I can't force you to do anything." The old man with frog-eye glasses, Kaf, shook his head with some regret, and then helped him record the books he wanted to borrow. "Then you have to bring it to see me often in the future. You should be able to see that I have no resistance to this kind of cute little guy."

When he said this, he specifically pointed to the frog-shaped glasses on his nose and the green coat with frog patterns on it that he was wearing.

This odd aesthetic made the silver-haired young man look strange, but he still nodded and said, "I will."

After saying that, he took the borrowed book and left the library.

The old man, Kaf, wearing frog-eye glasses, continued to lie back in the rocking chair and took a nap.

"I didn't realize you were so popular, Xiao Gu." The silver-haired young man, Rorschach, chuckled.

"I told you not to call me Xiao Gu, but to call me the great Lord Segura!" The bloody little toad standing on his shoulder protested.

"Okay, Xiaogu."
