Origin Paradise!

Because heroes possess mythical forms reaching heights of up to a thousand meters, the nations of the Realm have long reached a consensus that beings of this level are strictly prohibited from engaging in battles in any region. The Realm Defense Council, headquartered on the island of Hawaii, is overseen by legendary figures from various nations who take turns waking up to maintain the most basic order in the Realm.

Inside the submarine.

A blond, middle-aged man with a stern face and a robust physique wore a basic Marine Corps combat uniform that resembled armor.

As a senator of the Beacon Society of the American faction and a Golden Peak Being, Dogster has the authority to access most of the intelligence in the present world.

Since half a month ago, many exploration-type daily quests have appeared in various locations.

These intelligence-focused missions all more or less hint at the same message—a dramatic change brought about by the new version is about to occur before the public beta begins.

Of course, the so-called "soon" does not mean immediately or instantly in the common sense. According to the council's estimate, there is roughly one to two years to respond.

In the face of dramatic changes, the faster one obtains firsthand intelligence, the more opportunities and resources one can seize. Therefore, all nations have dispatched their elite superhumans to gather intelligence, and there have been numerous bloodshed incidents in the shadows.

"Can't we use the domain?"

Dougster lowered his head and clenched his fist.

"Damn the current treaty, these ancient people have been blinded by false harmony. The jungle is the truth for humanity."

“Please watch your words, Your Excellency,” the adjutant said softly, adjusting his glasses.

Dogster turned around and sneered, "Only the truth needs to be covered up. From primitive tribes, survival of the fittest has been an instinct ingrained in our bones. In my opinion, when facing the new era, we should simply abandon all the rules of the old era."

"Free-for-all killing."

"To live freely."

"Growing and expanding freely"

The adjutant neither agreed nor disagreed, simply stating, "You are not qualified to decide the rules."

A brief silence fell, the murderous intent vanishing in an instant.

Dougster chuckled softly, without answering.

Because what the other party said was true.

Disagreement, dissatisfaction, unwillingness, or even immense pain are all irrelevant. Only the legends have the right to decide everything. As long as they believe that order and stability are beneficial to their slumber and thus resist the erosion of mythical forms, even heroes as powerful as they are must behave themselves and remain obedient.

In the East, the beings of this era are called sages.

In the West, the creatures of this era are known as legends.

But in Dougster's view, there is no difference between the titles of "legend" and "sage." More important than the insignificant titles themselves is that both symbolize the rule-makers.

[Notification: You have entered the Overseer's temporary territory]

[Warning: This supervisor is extremely dangerous. Please choose your next action carefully.]

Dougster was taken aback when he heard the notification tone.

The lieutenant also received a hint about the origin.

"Sir, would you like to make an application?"

"The answer to the application will definitely be rejection," Dogster said dismissively. "Isn't there a beach ahead? If we rush up there, I won't even see anyone. Do you think the Overseer can kill you or me?"

Meanwhile, on the cross-sea bridge connecting Penglai Island and the mainland, a futuristic RV slowed down briefly before continuing its journey. Zhen Ren, the deputy commander of operations for the southern region of the Order Bureau, was driving, while the chief of operations sat in the passenger seat with a serious expression.

High in the sky, among the clouds.

The archbishop from the Tsar's Cathedral descended from the sky.

On the edge of the island, the elephant-headed man from the Indian camp landed on the mudflats. He was one of the candidates for the mythical form of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god.

Faced with the prompt, the four giants unanimously chose to continue forward. Once a hero makes a move, he will be immediately locked onto by the legendary figures on the rotating committee, rather than a hero. Theoretically, it is impossible to kill a Gold-level being with a domain in one blow, leaving ample room for error.

But at some point.

On the top floor of the Penglai Island Hotel, a sudden, brutal gunshot rang out.

Jiang He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, facing the blue sea and sky ahead. She raised her hand and took out the Heart Image Revolver. In her pure white demonic eyes, she locked onto the figures of four peak experts.

boom!

At the edge of the island, the elephant-headed man's steps came to an abrupt halt. He looked down blankly at his empty chest, where a huge hole the size of a millstone had been blasted away, obliterating even the blood.

"How can it be……"

[Note: Damage exceeds the core's tolerance limit]

[Notification: You are dead]

High above the island, the archbishop, plummeting at breakneck speed, suddenly spotted a headless corpse. He tried to touch the throat, which was throbbing with pain, but found himself powerless. An unknown gunshot had struck his neck directly, shattering it in an instant.

[Notification: You are dead]

Inside the submarine beneath the sea surface.

boom!

The adjutant heard the loud sound of flesh and blood exploding.

Like rain, slightly bloody liquid splashed all over his face. He turned his head and saw that the once high-spirited Dogster was now only his lower body, and the surging aura of the Golden Peak had disappeared without a trace.

The adjutant remained silent, his indescribable terror almost rendering him unable to express himself.

"Notify the entire ship to return to port immediately..."

On the cross-sea bridge, inside a converted RV, the Chief of Operations watched helplessly as the bridge in front of him exploded in the middle, like a meteorite crashing down, the resulting sea column shooting into the sky, resembling an insurmountable chasm.

"What's this……"

Vice Minister Zhen Ren hurriedly slammed on the brakes. In that instant, he clearly sensed an indescribable crisis of death, as if he were standing on a guillotine, unable to move, his life and death out of his own hands.

The Chief of Operations remained silent for a moment, then said, "Stop the car and notify the person in charge. This is no longer something you or I can handle."

……

at the same time.

After half a day of exploration, when more than half of the fallen players had participated, all five star maps in the hotel were revealed.

The relevant intelligence was then shared with the mission supervisor.

"Located in the eternally dark world cluster in the west."

"Located in the Bright World Cluster in the east."

"The current location is in the south."

"Located in the northern part of the Myriad Races World Cluster."

"The Divine Court World Cluster located in the central region."

The five star charts appear in the form of radiant elements and eventually merge into one according to the theory of continental drift. The irregularities at the edges of the world groups correspond to each other perfectly.

Jiang He's gaze was solemn. The areas he used to frequent were mostly within the Eternal Dark World Group.

[Note: Special daily task has been completed]

[Hint: You have obtained information on the Fusion of the Five Realms]

[Executive's Exclusive Notice: Due to the player population reaching one ten-thousandth of the current total population, a phased group assessment before the open beta is about to begin (one to two years). The worlds within the Five Realms will be fully integrated, and the spatial distance between worlds will gradually shorten. If you fail the group assessment, the End of Dharma Era is expected to arrive, and some giant borderlands will not participate in this integration...]

[Divine Court World: Main World (Tier 5) within the Five Realms Region]

[Divine Court: The largest transcendent organization in this world. Over the past ten thousand years, nine gods/immortals have been born in the Five Realms, four of whom were born into or subsequently joined the Divine Court organization.]

[Executor's Exclusive Tip: The new world contains a great deal of destiny's power, which is expected to give birth to new gods/immortals as guardians of the world (Note: Current beings are not within the scope of destiny's favor)]

[Hint: You have obtained the Heart of Chronos]

A heart-shaped fruit appeared in Jiang He's palm, its rich power of time arousing an instinctive hunger.

He immediately took a bite of the fruit. So far, he only knew of two gods or immortals: one was Lilith, who had just advanced to the mythological era and then quickly perished; the other was the God of Fire, who seemed to be seeking revival, but not very successfully.

The fusion of the five realms signifies the birth of new deities, and whether the present realm can survive at that time will determine whether the end of the Dharma era will arrive.

[Hint: Your core skill – Soul Armament: Final Knight – has been upgraded to Immortal level]

[Name: Soul Armament - Final Knight]

[Category: System]

[Quality: Immortal]

[Effect ①: Final Time Ring - Resets own status three times per day, individually determines position +1 (sub-legendary level), can affect external targets and actual areas (area range is equivalent to the area of ​​effect of the domain), can select multiple targets when using]

[Effect ②: Bloodwings - Wears a pair of blood-red wings for flight, with 3,600 feathers, possessing epic-level sharpness and sturdiness, reducing all wind resistance when traveling on the ground]

[Effect ③: Blood Prince - Strength, Constitution, Agility, and Spirit stats +2, Charisma +3, Golden Energy +17000 (This stat increase ignores life level limits) (The normal limit for hero life energy is 100000)]

[Effect 4: Möbius - Can conjure two phantom knights symbolizing the past and the future (Past Knight and Future Knight), with the same basic attributes and active/passive abilities as the player, and the positions of the player and the phantom knights can be swapped.]

When Möbius's ultimate state is activated, the past, future, and present merge, increasing all stats by 100%. This skill will consume a significant amount of stamina.

[Effect ⑤: Blood Conversion - Through the Embrace ritual, a person is transformed into an alien species and controlled through blood. Each point of spirit is equal to one Embrace slot. Source blood can be created to transform the target being into a blood relative (Duke-level bloodline)]

[Note: Time will eventually stand still for it.]

Jiang He was practicing the "multiple target selection" related to the time cycle after his promotion.

boom!

A bolt of lightning struck, shattering the floor-to-ceiling window and exploding high in the sky outside the building, sending arcs of electricity flying everywhere.

Another loud bang, and black flames swept out.

Jiang He activated the Time Ring, and an invisible wave descended. Lightning and flames released at different points in time appeared simultaneously, combining with each other to form a pure white Radiant Element.

The second time loop is started.

Thunder, fire, and radiance appeared together.

"Are you starting to focus a little more on technique?"

Jiang He devoured and refined the remnants of the heart-shaped fruit. This time, his bloodline was promoted to the rank of Prince, and the improvement he received was not to be underestimated.

[Strength: 50+2→52+2]

[Agility: 50+2 → 52+2]

[Constitution: 50+2→52+2]

[Spirit: 50+2→52+2]

[Charm: 62+11→65+11]

[Gold Energy Value: 80000]

[Ordinary creatures of the Golden Age]

Jiang He couldn't help but ponder. The rapid improvement had caused his stats and combat power to become somewhat disconnected from his life level.

But in its golden age, it still has great potential waiting to be developed.

First, the main weapon, the Eternal Dragon Spear, is still two suitable epic-level items away from being upgraded. It is planned to choose targets with attributes such as sturdiness, sharpness, and destruction to maintain its era-leading lethality.

Secondly, apart from Yun Jianfeng, the other Dragon Spear Techniques are strictly speaking still at the Undying level, and he has not had enough time to digest the Eternal Darkness Technique.

Secondly, some key skills failed to be upgraded to epic.

Finally, the Overlord Martial Saint Body, as a numerical symbol, still has the potential to be strengthened to immortality, but it requires a massive amount of nourishment.

Suddenly, Jiang He stopped examining himself, stood up and looked outside Penglai Island. An extremely powerful aura was rushing towards the island without any concealment. Compared to the Jingyang King of the Eternal Dark World, the aura of the other party was obviously more powerful and vast.

“Your Excellency,” the fortune teller warned, “is likely the head of the Southern Region of the Bureau of Order, a peak being of the Heroic Age.”

Jiang He nodded. There was nothing more to say. He should just leave quickly. Before he had equal power, he didn't want to get too involved with major powers. His own value was too great, and there was no need to test the integrity of the Bureau of Order.

"Old Black, Wuhe, and Aya, they're back."

……

Meanwhile, the hotel's left tower.

When the five star charts came together, the corpses that had been leading the chase of the players stopped moving and stared intently at the scrolls.

The young man in the Taoist robe and the thousand-year-old green zombie sat half-dead on the ground; this corpse was most likely Mr. X.

More than a decade ago, before the world had undergone a remarkable recovery, the other party had already researched the trend of world integration. This talent is truly worthy of being the closed-door disciple of the faction leader, the Supervisor.

But it is precisely because of this that Mr. X feels hopeless about the future.

In the Age of Decline, even legendary figures cannot recover from intense battles by drawing supernatural elements from the environment. This means that hostile worlds can use their vast numbers of supernatural beings to weaken the combat power of their own legendary figures.
