Compared to other cities, the City of Hope was established not long ago. Its cultural heritage and the sense of belonging among its people are both significantly weaker.

Upon hearing Luo Tianyu expressing a desire to fight to the death, some agreed, some sneered, and some even made sarcastic remarks on the side.

Wang Qi sighed and waved his hand, “Let’s wait for the city lord to return before making a decision. If we really must, we can temporarily join this so-called City Alliance, but the specific terms, we can discuss slowly.”

With Song Jian absent, Wang Qi, as the Vice City Lord, had the final say. Hearing his words, a look of clear disappointment flashed in Luo Tianyu’s eyes.

“Just delay, delay as long as we can!” Wang Qi sighed and said.

Soon, three days passed.

On this day, more than ten warriors from the Legendary Realm were heading towards the City of Hope. They were representatives of the City Alliance, including the City of Hymns, the City of Sin, and other major neighboring cities–nearly all were included.

Even before these city representatives arrived, many NPC strongholds had already emerged within the City of Hope.

Looking at these individuals, the people of the City of Hope standing atop a high-rise building all had very unpleasant expressions on their faces.

“Hmph, I really didn’t know that the City of Hope was so attractive!” Luo Tianyu snorted disdainfully.

“Nothing but a pack of hyenas that, smelling blood, naturally come running, hmph!”

“Does everyone really think the City of Hope is weak and they all want a piece of the action? And look over there, a group of players with third-tier combat power have also joined in, these people are truly…”

“The City of Hope is the first among players to establish a level-five city. Could they also be here to take advantage of us?”

“Hmph, if they were here to help us, they would have contacted us by now. Standing so far away now, it’s clear they want to reap the benefits. These people are even more despicable than those hyenas!”

…

“Has the evacuation of the city’s inhabitants been completed?” Wang Qi asked softly, his mood heavy. Previously, when Song Jian was around, Wang Qi didn’t feel such pressure. In the past few months, Song Jian seemed to have disappeared while the City Alliance pressured them from all sides. Economic blockades were in place, and if a decision wasn’t made soon, the City of Hope’s economy was on the brink of bankruptcy. Joining the alliance was a move of desperation.

“Haven’t we already decided to join the City Alliance? Why are we still evacuating the city’s inhabitants?” someone asked curiously.

“It’s just a gesture, in case their demands are too harsh, we will not hesitate to risk everything!”

“Sigh, the Legendary Realm… If only we had someone reach the Legendary Realm, those big cities, which one doesn’t have a Legendary Realm warrior in residence? Some are even said to have warriors at the Demi-God Level…”

“Foundation. The Legendary Realm is the foundation of a city. The City of Hope was established too late, giving us no chance to develop. If we had a few hundred years – no, just another ten years – the City of Hope would surely see the emergence of Legendary Realm warriors!”

In the City of Hope, many players have now stepped into the third-tier of combat power, but that’s just barely. Even within the third-tier, they’re only average and not capable of fighting across tiers.

In fact, some players have now reached the third-tier of combat power, but the highest level is just hovering around level one hundred. After level one hundred, leveling up requires a massive amount of battle experience. Even using Purple Crystals to level up requires hundreds of them, which is simply not affordable for players at this stage.

Just then, a commotion arose, and a golden arc streaked across the sky. A middle-aged man in golden armor cut through the Protective Black Mist surrounding the City of Hope and landed in the central square of the city.

“`

The Legendary Realm experts moved with extreme speed, and to them, the light shield’s defense was like paper, providing absolutely no protective effect.

“This is Yin Tian City’s Guardian, Golden Knight Monte. Yin Tian City is over three thousand kilometers away from the City of Hope and has no trade relations with it whatsoever. How did he get here so fast?”

“Hmph, he probably wants a piece of the action. Who says profits can only come from trade? Right now, the City of Hope is like a succulent piece of meat; anyone who comes wants to carve out a big chunk!”

Monte, holding a knight’s spear over two meters long, stood in the plaza, sweeping his gaze over the surrounding crowd.

Soon, more powerhouses began to appear, one by one, lights twinkling as Legendary Realm experts converged from all directions.

“The Vice City Lord from the City of Sin has also arrived.”

“The High Priest from Rizhao City, and the Saintess too. Hey, that Saintess really is beautiful, just like a person out of a painting.”

“The High Priest from Broken Bear City, what’s going on? Even the Beastmen have shown up. Are they part of the City Alliance too?”

“A Druid faction from the Tide of Darkness? Aren’t the resources in the Dark Forest enough for them to take? The City of Hope is just an ant compared to the whole Dark Forest; can they actually be interested?”

…

Each Legendary Realm expert radiated with dazzling light, their presence swelling and deep like the ocean. The people around them all instinctively moved back, the sense of oppression being too intense. Ordinary players could not bear it, and some had even begun to lose health.

“These big cities are really too bullying, just as players finally build a city, they want to snatch it away. It’s simply the behavior of thieving bullies…” some players couldn’t help but express their dissatisfaction at the oppression from the big cities.

“There’s no helping it. The City of Hope is the only Level 5 city among players. It’s the tall nail that gets hammered. Do you see those Level 2 and Level 3 cities around? Do the big cities care about them?”

“I heard that the City Lord of the City of Hope is also very powerful. Why doesn’t he resist?”

“Are you talking about Song Jian? His strength is indeed formidable, but that’s only compared to other players. Compared to those NPCs who have cultivated for decades or even hundreds of years, he still falls a bit short. However, give him a few more years, and he might reach their level since players level up pretty fast…”

“There’s no longer a ranking for Song Jian on the Level Honor Board; I wonder if he’s dead…”

“Even if he isn’t dead, his level can’t be too high. After level one hundred, to go up a single level, it requires billions of combat experience. Just a glance at the requirements is enough to make one despair. I don’t even feel motivated to level up anymore…”

A group of bystander players widened their eyes in fascination, witnessing so many Legendary Figures for the first time. One must know that in the realm of bosses, Legendary Realm is equivalent to King Level, and many players have not even seen what a King Level boss looks like.

“Boom!”

A holy pillar of light descended from the sky, illuminating the entire central plaza.

“The Church of Light has arrived, from the City of Hymns, no less. I’ve heard that the God of Light truly exists and often manifests miracles…”

Countless people stood up, looking towards the pillar of light, even the Legendary Realm experts who had already arrived turned their heads to gaze at it.
