Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

Seeking Enlightenment: [What's your opinion, senior?]

I heard rumors that the bodies of captured Cursed Clan members could be refined into some incredibly powerful treasure. So I suspect...

Could it be that these Cursed Clan players, while appearing to have committed 'mass suicide,' actually sacrificed a portion of their clan to forge that heaven-defying treasure?

Seeking the "heaven-defying treasure" mentioned by Xunwu...

It's actually a "soul essence"!

Its extraordinary feature lies in helping players create a second identity...

Jiang Yi thought so too.

Just like in the movie "The Leap of the Ibex" that I watched when I was a child, when the antelope herd reaches the cliff, some of the antelopes will be sacrificed.

Let the young antelopes leap across the cliff, stepping on the leaping figures of the older antelopes.

Antelopes are essentially a "race".

Even though they lack human intelligence, they can still preserve the spark of life through their survival instincts.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Cursed Clan, who are even more intelligent than antelopes, could make voluntary sacrifices.

Moreover, their "collective suicide" is not just about being able to quickly manipulate the player ratio between the two factions.

You can also obtain a considerable amount of Soul Essence!

This step was probably planned by the Curse Clan players before they even entered the Realm Battlefield.

That's why they were able to implement it so quickly.

It's even possible that those soul essences forged on the battlefield have already been paired with exclusive destiny plates and used by the Curse Clan players to create the second identities of their race's sparks!

This might be cruel...

But it was truly a last resort.

but……

Jiang Yi was more curious about—

The methods for refining soul essence, and the techniques for creating a second identity by combining it with a unique destiny chart...

How did the Cursed Clan acquire their power?

He had a vague suspicion in his mind.

Before I could think about it further, Xunwu sent another message:

[Hey senior, check the group chat! Something's happened again!]

Jiang Yi's attention immediately shifted to the [Boundless Academy Special Training Group], and sure enough, he saw the group messages scrolling wildly—

[Holy crap! Look at our group member count! It's dropping like crazy!]

What happened? How could so many people die all at once? Did some large team get wiped out?

[Impossible! These drastically reduced members barely interact! They almost never team up! And in such a short time... In short, the possibility of a complete wipeout is extremely low!]

So, could they have been killed by... a ferocious beast?

[Don't joke around! Do you even believe it if you say it yourself? Our Boundless Academy may not be as strong as the Longevity Academy, but surely we can't even defeat a ferocious beast!]

[Either they're a Cursed Clan player, or those bastards from the Longevity Academy... I lean towards the latter!]

[Damn it! The moment I saw the sharp drop in members, I knew it was those bastards from the Longevity Academy who did it! And you guys, still foolishly analyzing it! What the hell is there to analyze? It's definitely those bastards!]

[Could it be that they saw the number of Cursed Clan players plummeting, so they came to kill our Boundless Academy students to control the player ratio between the two factions? What the hell?! Have they gone mad?!]

This conclusion...

It makes sense, but it's really too crazy!

Jiang Yi frowned slightly as he looked at him.

Then I received a private message from Xunwu:

[This doesn't make sense, does it? The Cursed Clan's "collective suicide" is a desperate gamble in a hopeless situation, and they can even use their bodies to forge heaven-defying treasures...]

【But we "invaders," the Longevity Academy and the Boundless Academy, though rivals, wouldn't go so far as to fight amongst ourselves to the point of competing with the Curse Clan to see who can commit the most ruthless suicide, would we?】

The key point is that their cursed race was facing annihilation, so they were naturally capable of going berserk during their "mass suicide"...

No matter how much we prodigies fight among ourselves, we can't possibly defeat the Cursed Clan!

Surely the prodigies of the Longevity Academy can see through this?

[And... in such a short time, the notification that the faction's core has been destroyed has sounded again!]

In such a critical moment, instead of fighting amongst ourselves to see who can commit the most drastic suicide, shouldn't we be focusing on preserving the core of our faction as quickly as possible?
