Origin Paradise!

Chapter 372 All Members at Their Peak

January 12th, the sixth year of the Kaiyuan era.

A message spread to various places through player channels.

Three powerful life forms surrounded and killed one person, resulting in two deaths and one escape. Most players initially laughed it off, but as the communication markers of the Mad Priest and the All-Powerful Mage disappeared, thousands of players were in an uproar.

In the Silver Age, a supreme life form was born.

The Seventh Fortress, the Headquarters of Order.

The deputy commander of operations received intelligence from Jian Chaoyang: Mo Ke is no longer just a powerful force; he has advanced countless steps since the Battle of the Remnants, surpassing theoretical limits and becoming a hegemon.

"What does the Sword Fairy think about this?" The Deputy Commander of Operations turned to look at Chu Fuqiang. These ancient families were small circles with serious xenophobia, and some things required skillful inquiries.

Chu Fuqiang said helplessly, "They're almost going crazy. They killed nearly 500 silver-level players in two hours, including many top-tier players with unique skills. If it were a hegemon, things would be much easier to understand."

"Sword Fairy believes that Mo Ke is also seriously injured at this moment, but in fact we all know that is nonsense. She was probably overwhelmed by the death of her blood brother."

Chu Fuqiang's expression was complicated. He still remembered the scene when he first participated in the Yangzhou derivative mission with Mo Ke. Faced with a complete rout, the other party almost single-handedly killed Tie Duo. His toughness was indescribable.

After a moment's thought, the Deputy Commander of Operations asked, "Is the Overlord really that powerful, capable of defeating three great powers?"

Chu Fuqiang chuckled and replied, "I haven't seen it either, but the records in the various clans are similar. They were invincible in one era. As far as we know, there have been several overlords in the boundless void, but they all met a tragic end. Whether intentional or unintentional, they often became the source of conflict."

The Deputy Commander of Operations nodded slowly. These ancient families have a long history. In their heyday before the supernatural lineage was broken, each generation of orthodox lineage could produce a powerful leader to guide the collective forward and maintain the prosperity of each family. The Sword Fairy is a supernatural seed that is expected to be planted in the new era.

Even though the great powers have continued for generations, the Buddhist and Taoist Council has never had a dominant power emerge.

The deputy commander of operations examined the several intelligence reports in his hand. One report stated that Jian Chaoyang had barely managed to pinpoint the approximate teleportation location of the Ant Guild Leader using talismans, but had not reported it, presumably because he had triggered a special side quest.

Secondly, there were alliance invitations from the first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth fortresses. All factions agreed that the overlord should be eliminated first, otherwise, if the opponent were to be defeated one by one, this broken game would be unplayable for everyone.

"Build high walls, store up plenty of grain, and delay declaring yourself king. Use stillness to control movement and focus on expanding your territory." The Deputy Commander of Operations made his decision. Because of his own great sacrifice, he gained the right to speak among the players of the Order Bureau in the struggle for power and had the authority to decide on strategies.

Most importantly, the Deputy Chief of Operations knew someone's true identity. It was impossible for him to sacrifice all the players of the Order Bureau to fight against the Allied Forces for that person, but he was far from aiding and abetting evil.

Strictly speaking, only Mo Ke's identity is known to himself, Consultant Gu, Chu Fuqiang, and the head of the Southern Region. In fact, there is also competition between the major regions, and some players in the region who are worth cultivating, winning over, and cooperating with will be "cold-out".

It is worth mentioning that this is not concealment, but simply that reporting requires careful procedures. The difference between the two is an extremely serious matter of nature and attitude.

"Tell him about the alliance."

"receive."

……

First fortress, Supreme Council Hall.

Most of the once-powerful local parliamentary families have been wiped out, and the aliens have taken over the leadership of the alliance.

As the quantum projection descended, the new councilors took their seats around the highest round table.

The twelve large guilds, each with over a hundred members, included most of the major factions, excluding freelance players.

The powerful dinosaur tyrant sized up the attendees, looking down on half of them. Only the powers or gold were worthy of equal exchange.

Across the table, a powerful player was trimming his fingernails. He looked very young, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with an indifferent expression on his unremarkable face. When the leader of a major guild approached to speak to him, he didn't respond at all.

The Dinosaur Tyrant secretly labeled him as useless, and the punishment for the Twilight Battlefield mission was so severe that people were so envious they wanted to roll on the ground in envy.

To the left, the powerful Night Elf was resting with his eyes closed. He was from a Void race that was attached to Twilight. He was strong but disliked fighting and had a strange habit of digging graves everywhere.

There were as many as three powerful figures present, including the Mad Priest, the Ant Guild Master, the All-Round Mage, the Sword Fairy, and the Roman Fire Stealer from the Origin Realm. Most of the four Silver-level powerhouses from the battlefield had been mobilized.

However, the great powers did not hold absolute power in the Supreme Parliament.

The Red Dragon Queen, covered in bright red scales, said, "I can tell you a sad fact. According to the request for help from the Ant Guild's strategy team leader, the three powerful forces received exclusive side missions before their attack. This means that the overlord has most likely received the same treatment. The winner takes all on the battlefield, and his strength may increase again."

The council chamber fell silent.

He stopped trimming his nails, rounding off the amount of nail trimming.

The dinosaur tyrant couldn't help but bare its teeth.

The Night Man opened his eyes, somewhat surprised.

The leaders of the major guilds all had similar expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.

What is even more disheartening than the birth of a contemporary overlord is that this overlord is still growing.

In the corner, Fist Peak stood in the shadows, acting as a guard for his guild leader. Although he had been promoted to Silver Peak, he felt like a lackey. When he heard news of someone, he couldn't help but sigh. He had done his best to survive the disease-ridden Fog City last time.

Everyone was quickly processing the news: the Red Dragon Queen had successfully advanced to Gold level with her Silver-level skills, possessing a complete Red Dragon Domain and raising a large flock of dragons. Her words carried great authority, after all, a Gold-level being was even stronger than the Silver-level powerhouses.

After a while, someone spoke up.

"The Wanderers' Guild is withdrawing from this alliance."

Everyone turned to look, but one young man remained unmoved by the gazes directed at him. He was player ID Passing Fellow Daoist, whose combat strength was not outstanding, as he had focused all his resources on speed.

The entire Wanderers Guild consists of players who prioritize escaping, and the one who can run the fastest is the guild leader, Passerby.

Some guild leaders abandoned their threats, arguing that these guys were like eels, and the cost of killing them would be enough to give anyone a headache, making them not worth targeting.

"What about the others?" the thin old man asked.

The Golden Warrior Death Servant possesses a complete Death Domain.

"Fight him! No matter how strong he is, how can he fight against everyone? We might not be able to win in a head-on confrontation, but we can harass him and infiltrate the Ninth Fortress. We can wear him down until he's exhausted. We don't need to destroy him in the Ember World, but we can at least drive him out."

On a large chair, the boy and girl spoke in unison: they were rare conjoined twins. Due to their intertwined souls, they were considered individuals in the battlefield's assessment. At this moment, they had already advanced to the Gold level. They did not have a domain, but they contained two extraordinary system cores.

“We need a wise and strategic leader; only by clenching our fists can we unleash our power,” said the Dinosaur Tyrant.

No one spoke, and some of the association leaders wore mocking smiles.

The multiple silver-producing powers and the gold-producing powers were all unwilling to submit to each other.

The Red Dragon Queen chuckled, "Just kidding. The position of leader of the alliance can probably only be held by that overlord, who can command the respect of the people."

Everyone was speechless.

“Then let’s put that aside for now,” the Death Servant said. “The next question is whether the Ant Guild is still worth saving. They can’t withdraw, and the punishment for the mission is execution.”

"Hopeless."

"Do you expect me to fight the overlord?"

"If you're unlucky enough to be caught up in it, it's all fate. Blame yourself."

The Dinosaur President felt a pang of sorrow. He had originally thought that the battle for the world would be a contest of wits and courage among all parties, with each side forming alliances and ultimately emerging victorious. Who would have thought it would turn out to be a battle against a BOSS? The Origin shamelessly deployed such an ultimate weapon; no wonder it always ended in extraordinary oblivion.

"Then there are two more questions: if we kill the overlord, how will we distribute the spoils afterward? And with the world's core about to be born, how will we, the people here, compete for it?" the Red Dragon Queen said.

The topic instantly ignited the atmosphere in the Supreme Council chamber, with all parties arguing endlessly.

……

The city gate is upside down.

Jiang He took a sip of dragon blood wine, the spiciness and rich, blood-like aroma stimulating her taste buds.

[Hint: Your exclusive side quest has been completed (Defend the Upside-Down Pass for 10 natural days)]

[Hint: You have obtained an Undying-level Skill Enhancement Scroll]

Jiang He tore the scroll apart, choosing to upgrade the Overlord Armor.

[Name: Overlord's Armor]

[Category: Active Skill]

[Quality: Unfading]

[Effect ①: Overlord - Increases all base stats by 100%]

[Effect 2: Dominance - Unbreakable Strength]

[Effect ③: Leak-free - Ultimate toughness/Ultimate shock absorption/Ultimate blade protection/Ultimate corrosion resistance/Ultimate energy absorption/Ultimate water repellency]

[Note: Your Domination is Here (Each activation consumes 500 Silver Energy Points)]

Because it failed to continue to learn from the strengths of others, the sturdiness of the Overlord's Armor remained at the level of not falling, but the improvement of all-round base values ​​increased from the original 60% to 100%, and all other defensive attributes were enhanced to the ultimate, resulting in a huge increase in overall defense.

"Combat strength increased by about 20%."

Jiang He gave a rough assessment: after transforming into an overlord, his defense was somewhat lagging behind the level. Of course, this was only for an overlord. Now that the weakness has been addressed, his overall combat power has improved significantly.

Two cores appeared in the palm of the hand.

[Name: Core of the Power System - Implantable]

[Category: Functional]

[Quality: Supreme]

[Effect ①: After ingestion and implantation, it merges with the user's most suitable extraordinary system power, transforming into the true core]

[Effect ②: Upon initial implantation by a user without a core, all attributes are increased by +4, and Silver Energy is increased by +2000.]

[Effect 3: Raise one energy attribute to its ultimate level]

[Effect 4: When a user suffers a fatal injury, the substitute user dies (once), without conflicting with the core of the Gold Stage domain]

[Effect 5: Grants the user's body extremely robustness]

[Effect 6: In case of heart or brain damage, it can replace physiological functions for up to 24 hours]

[Effect ⑦: Energy recovery speed increased by 50%, health recovery speed increased by 50%, stamina recovery speed increased by 50%]

[Remark:

"Huh?" Jiang He was stunned for a moment. Apart from the Long-lasting Dragon Spear, this seemed to be the first time he had seen an item with seven effects. Even the Martial Saint Body only had six.

If he didn't already have a core that combined martial arts, knighthood, and the power of gluttony, Jiang He wouldn't even mind using it directly. Within his own team, improving his own strength was the top priority, so he could obtain higher-level benefits to give back to his teammates. This implanted core was all about numerical values, which suited his "aesthetic sense" quite well.

"Then let's go back first."

Jiang He activated the King's Landing and returned to the Saint Lilith.

In fact, the battle for the Upside-Down Pass is still ongoing. The Human Ant Guild may have been subjected to an execution mission. The Human Ant swarm has only a little over a million members left, but there is no sign of them withdrawing.

Meanwhile, on the Bureau of Order's side, Chu Fuqiang had already sent intelligence about the alliance of fortresses from various regions forming a coalition army. This coalition included three powerful figures, two fully-fledged Gold Saints, and one Gold Twin. In addition, twelve large guilds had at least a thousand Silver Saint players, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Back in the ship's main hall, Wuhe directed Ada and others to mine over a dozen gold and silver mines, yielding 400 tons of gold and 1600 tons of silver. The number of intact corpses was plentiful, and a steady stream of human ants was being transported back from the front lines.

"One black guy, one rabble."

Jiang He took out the implanted core and let out a strange cry. Old Hei, who was squatting on the spot, couldn't help but blink.

"This is outrageous. It seems like this is the first time Origin has been so generous." Wuhe exclaimed in amazement. Implanting the core was enough to double his overall strength.

"After all, it's a reward for killing powerful nations." Old Hei calmed himself down and swallowed the implanted core.

Zhuang Ya stared longingly at the food, looking at someone with a hint of grievance. She didn't care about the ultimate sword, but this was food.

Jiang He rubbed his temples and said, "Dragons advance to the Gold rank with their bodies as the core; you don't need that."

Zhuang Ya nodded heavily.

With the implantation of the core, Lao Hei successfully leaped from Silver Ordinary to Silver Peak. Except for Charm, all attributes increased by 31 points, and his energy value increased to 6200 points. The rapid cultivation of the Undying Demon Art not only provided a large number of balanced real attribute points, but also gave birth to the energy property of Steel. Through this enhancement, he successfully upgraded it to the Supreme level, and his body's sturdiness rose to the Extreme level.

Through the All-Seeing Eye, Jiang He saw the steel core inside Lao Hei's body, which resembled a black gemstone.

On the other side, Wuhe completed the implantation.

His life level has advanced to the peak of Silver, with an energy value of 6700 points. He possesses the ultimate energy nature of Shadow, making his body extremely sturdy. When he uses the Sky Escape Technique and his own escape skills simultaneously, his speed can reach the level of a master. He has invested too many resources in this aspect.

"You'll probably have to figure out your own way to achieve the Golden Will," Jiang He said, indicating that he couldn't help.

"Hehe, boss, I already have an idea," Wuhe yelled.

Old Black is quite composed, and he lacks confidence in the Golden Will.

Jiang He walked towards the deck to prepare to refine the Evil Fiend Soldier. The high-level resources were repeatedly used to cultivate it, which enabled the entire animal team to advance to the peak of Silver rank. In particular, Zhuang Ya's main attribute had reached the limit of Silver rank.

Chapter 373 Allied Forces

Edge of the Great Plains.

A small village with a steel watchtower stands here.

The small village was once a military food transfer station in the wild. After it was abandoned, wanderers gathered there, forming a medium-sized settlement of several thousand people. After several generations, it stabilized and had its own guard and exploration teams.

Just a few days ago, the exploration team found a strange man while searching for medicine.
