Origin Player.

Chapter 761 Returning to the Present
Origin and present situation.

Borderlands, vast wilderness, Yuwang City.

The entire animal team is back.

Jiang He stood on the central tower and scanned the surroundings. The danger level of this Nine Provinces World was high, so he did not let his animal companions act alone. Otherwise, if they encountered powerful beings, especially the Demon Lord, the situation would become very troublesome.

"You're back!"

"I've made it all the way to Legendary status!"

Si Ning ran wildly through Yuwang City, her ten snow-white fox tails swaying incessantly.

Wuhe preened his feathers and gave a soft hum. He actually didn't like this guy, but considering that Si Ning might become the boss's partner in the future, he didn't want to make things difficult for the boss.

A giant black dog, wearing a crown of the underworld on its head, walked into the dark forest. The old black dog was preparing to inspect its territory and collect materials needed to make a puppet.

Whoosh!
Two letters flew through the air and landed in Jiang He's palm.

One of the letter writers was Ji You, and to Jiang He's surprise, Ji You immediately relinquished the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Did you go deep into the Great Wilderness to prepare for your ascension to mythology?"

Jiang He thought to himself, when he was Silver, Ji You was just an ordinary Legend. Pride has no bottleneck before Mythic level. Of course, this does not mean that once you reach Mythic level, you become like a normal player. Advancing to the next level is still quite easy for Pride.

"The only problem is that it's hard to come back once you go out. The Origin will not allow high-level beings to disrupt the evolutionary process of the present world."

Jiang He estimated that he would not see Ji You for a long time, which was a pleasant surprise.

As for the second letter, it came from the Current Defense Council and was originally intended for Ji You.

[Hint: The first legendary player in the current realm has been created. Player ID: Compassionate Knight (A Common Being from the Legendary Era)]
Wuhe landed on his shoulder and cackled, "Boss, the Knights of Mercy are on the Roman side and wield the power of Virtue: Mercy."

The eight virtues of the boundless void—humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul—are all sources of supreme power. These virtues are created later in life, and when combined, they form a secondary source of power—wisdom.

The eight virtues are not something that living beings are born with, but rather they are derived from wisdom. As the source of wisdom, this "wisdom" is comparable to a single, complete great sin.

"The Realm Legend Tournament, initiated by the Merciful Knight and the Lord of the Roman Faction, invites legends from all sides, especially those from major factions, to participate. The venue is Tucson Island in the Pacific Ocean."

Jiang He pondered, this was a sign that something important was about to happen.

Ji You's intention before leaving was to have him attend on her behalf.

"Boss, shall we go?" Wuhe asked thoughtfully. "Since the leader of the Roman camp has expressed his support, several of his legendary peak figures should also be present."

Jiang He nodded and said, "Let's go take a look. It's probably related to the [Four Realms Fusion] event before the public beta version. Si Ning and Lao Hei will stay behind. You come with me."

To be honest, he doesn't recognize all the legendary figures in the current realm, and he's even unclear about the surnames of the nine orthodox families.

……

Night falls.

Date: March 15, 2029.

Jiang He wasn't particularly concerned about the fact that she had unknowingly turned nineteen.

The borders were opened and then closed, and the current situation remains peaceful as always. However, the Defense Council has already warmed up the Shadowlands throughout the territory to prepare for a major conflict among the Legends.

A Kowloon palanquin ascends into the sky above Anping Island.

The nine dragon-blooded creatures had long lost their active minds and were only responsible for completing their assigned tasks.

Inside the carriage, Wuhe purchased new legendary intelligence from the Shadow Nest on the border. He spent 10,000 of the Immortal Coins from the Nine Provinces World, almost depleting his personal savings. This was equivalent to paying for a sub-legendary item.

In essence, the number of legendary figures in the present realm is not fixed. Just like the legendary figures of Kyushu, once you reach this level, each legendary figure is more skilled at doing sit-ups than the last, and it is common for them to revive and return if their souls are not annihilated.

"Currently, the Great Xia camp has nine orthodox legends, the leader of whom is named Ji Jun, a legendary elite and the ancestor of the Ji clan. The Order Bureau has five legends, who are the highest guardians of the five major regions. The camp leader is the Ancient Supervisor, a peak legend, who is suspected to be [Da Yan], one of the nine immortal gods of the Divine Court world."

"In addition, the Buddhist and Taoist Council has two legends, and another legend who is outside the order. Some chaotic forces within the territory are closely related to it."

"A total of eighteen people, the largest number among all the major factions."

Jiang He fell into thought.

Within the Divine Court world, nine native myths have been born in various worlds so far. The confirmed ones are: Wrathful Immortal, Fire Thief, Lilith, Great Evolution, Dragon God, and Demon Lord. The remaining Toad God and Snake God are undoubtedly from other places and contain ancient god styles.

Wuhe introduced it one by one.

There are six major factions: Great Xia, Rome, America, Tsarist Russia, Egypt, and India, plus smaller factions like Yingzhou and Zuizhou, with a total of just over a hundred legendary players.

Compared to the Nine Provinces world during the time of the three founders of religions, the current world is fully capable of fighting back. However, when facing the prosperous Divine Court world, the three sub-mythologies represent a terrifying suppression.

Fortunately, the test in the public beta version is not a one-on-one battle between the two sides. There are also the Light World Group and the Myriad Races World Group. Once the test is passed and the public beta is launched, the current realm can enter the new version, and then we will have to get along with the [Galactic Empire].

It is worth mentioning that the nine divine beings of the Divine Court did not live in the same era, but each had their own unique style.

"...Jupiter, the leader of the Roman camp, wields the power of thunder and the power of the sky. He is the head of the twelve [Original Gods] and the pinnacle of legend."

"...The chief of the Russian camp, who holds the authority over the soul, has four legendary [metropolitans] under his command. This camp suffered the most heavy losses during the God-Making Project."

"...The leader of the American camp, Father Gold, wields the power of aberration, is a quasi-alchemy myth, has six subordinate [business owners], and is the sole lifelong chairman of the Beacon Council."

"...Shiva, the lord of the Indian camp, wields the power of destruction, and has eight [deities] under his command."

"...The Pharaoh, the ruler of the Egyptian faction, holds the power of death, and has seven [Pharaohs] under his command." The legends of the six major factions account for half of the total, and their average strength is even greater, with peak figures in charge. Only when the smaller factions unite do they have any say.

"The current Chairman of the Realm Defense Council, an ancient creature named Hermes, has recently ascended to the Alchemy Mythic level, wielding the power of the stars and reaching the pinnacle of Legend. He has twelve [constellations] under his command, currently not enough to fill all his ranks."

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly; seventh place, the legendary peak.

The Kowloon palanquin arrived at Tucson Island in the sea.

Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, this is the most remote place from human habitation. There is only one white open-air palace on the island, which resembles the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

A dozen heroic beings stood high in the sky, intercepting irrelevant bystanders. Some legends had already descended. Jupiter, as an important initiator, was not present, which meant that the leaders of other factions would only send representatives.

"Sir, please show me your invitation."

A young man with features of a Highlander descended from the sky.

Jiang He thought for a moment, then threw a punch. The relatively gentle fist light shattered space along the path of cause and effect.

In the pure white hall, the legendary Liu Wusheng had just taken his seat when he immediately sensed a deadly crisis. Before he could react, a fist struck his chest, blasting him into the sea.

"Mo Ke!"

Liu Wusheng was shocked and furious. He could discern the aura within the fist technique, but what shocked him was that Mo Ke, who had been powerless to resist just a while ago, now possessed such formidable strength.

“Why hit me!”

It's a ridiculous question, but it does raise some questions about the legends. In any case, with hundreds of legends about to arrive and the leaders of various factions watching, killing anyone would be impossible, or rather, a losing proposition.

"If I don't beat you up, how will others know my strength?"

Jiang He didn't want to waste his time because of the peak life level of heroes.

Liu Wusheng gritted his teeth and rose from the sea. It had been less than a month since the two last met on the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway.

The young hero smiled awkwardly and said, "Lord Mo Ke, among the current level experts, there is no one who doesn't know you. Please forgive me for not announcing this beforehand."

He was so serious just now because he didn't want to get into trouble. As the only king of the era in the boundless void, his reputation far surpasses that of the top few popular idols in the void.

Jiang He remained silent, knowing that even if he spoke, he would still be beaten. He was determined to kill Liu Wusheng, but he needed to find the right opportunity.

The Kowloon palanquin entered Tucson Island.

In just a few hours, the legends arrived one after another.

All the seats in the main hall were at the same height. Jiang He closed her eyes to rest, but noticed that many eyes were lingering on her.

The supervisor of the Great Xia Order Bureau, a burly man in black, immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty the Ancient One does not wish to see the King of the Ages perish in his homeland."

Their gazes immediately shifted away.

Jiang He remained noncommittal. In his view, favors that were unnecessary were just a waste of time, and in short, he didn't appreciate them.

As night deepened, most of the seats in the pure white hall were filled. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked to the center. He had long, bright red hair, as fiery as flames.

"The number one legendary player has extraordinary potential. Apart from that King, there are probably very few who can rival him."

“Every legend has the right to set rules for the current situation. As long as the majority of legends do not object, I don’t know what he wants to do. At least Lord Jupiter’s attitude is very clear.”

"Hmph, even the leader of a faction has a veto power, so persuading seven peak-level experts won't be easy."

After the discussion quieted down a bit, the Knight of Mercy bowed and said, "Gentlemen, there is an important announcement to be made at today's meeting. I believe that the public beta version of the Origin game—[Five Realms Fusion]—should not be a secret to you. Previously, the Eternal Dark World disappeared inexplicably, and the fusion process accelerated. At that time, the council predicted that theoretically, there were still one or two years before the fusion would begin."

"But as the investigation progressed, we discovered that the speed of fusion depends on the size of the target being merged. In other words, the fewer worlds there are, the faster the fusion. This is also the result of Lord Hermes's experiments."

Inside the pure white hall, all eyes turned serious.

Some legends even foresaw this, their eyes changing.

The Merciful Knight continued, "The World of Eternal Darkness has vanished, and the nineteen worlds that were attached to it have lost their anchor points because the Void Tide has moved away from the World Cluster."

"The number of merged worlds has decreased significantly, which has led to the public beta war arriving much faster than anyone expected."

The burly man in black asked in a deep voice, "The exact time?"

The merciful knight bowed slightly, acknowledging the overseer behind the other party, and said, "The fusion of the four realms has begun."

Wow!
Even the legends were taken aback and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

The start of the integration was tantamount to sounding the war horn.

More than one legend turned their gaze toward Jiang He. No one really regarded the King of the Era as the pinnacle of heroism. Some low-level players even spontaneously organized themselves after learning of the King of the Era's existence, regarding him as the savior of the impending apocalypse.

Jiang He calmly said, "I can definitely kill legendary elites, but I can't handle legendary peaks. Don't count on me too much."

The burly man in black sighed. There is no chosen one in the present realm, and the origin will never favor individual beings. Otherwise, the growth of the King of the Era might have been even faster. After all, no one else is more qualified to receive such a gift from heaven and earth.

"Everyone, please be patient."

The Merciful Knight smiled and said, "Actually, the matter is not as serious as you all think. Hermes, the Supervisor, Lord Jupiter and others were not present because they were investigating the situation together."

"It turns out that the [fusion of the four realms] is a process. In the beginning, there were just secret realms descending. In essence, it was just a corner of the world overlapping. But it is undeniable that we are experiencing a great era."
