Chapter 178: Chapter 103: Piracy Turns Legitimate_2

In response to the inquiry, Qi Sheng, shrouded in Emperor’s Fire, did not directly answer the question:

"The power of the Black Tide is far more terrifying than you imagine, all the plans you have laid out are like child’s play in front of it, utterly meaningless."

As he spoke, the crimson flames in the eyes of the Moon Eclipse Clan’s high-ranking officials violently fluctuated, and countless information screens flooded into their minds.

Galaxies dimmed, worlds crumbled, civilizations destroyed, all things withered... In these images, countless worlds faced their doomsdays under the rule of the Black Tide.

This overwhelming Black Tide, which swept across numerous worlds, always started its outbreaks with a silent infiltration into new worlds, forming a Space Rift. As time passed, it began its evil journey with endless greed and a desire for destruction.

Wherever it passed, everything returned to eternal silence.

The strength of some Black Tide Demonic Spirits depicted in these images even exceeded the understanding of the Moon Eclipse Clan’s high-level officials and the Star Network.

It also made them realize how laughable the so-called war was.

They only then discovered that the Horror Black Tide, which had once contended with the Peak Moon Eclipse Clan, was merely a speck of light among the myriad of stars and was far from the entirety of the Black Tide.

And yet, even this speck within the vast starry sea could not be defeated by them, despite nearly facing the extinction of their clan, ultimately choosing to abandon their homeland and flee through space.

As the images continued to shift, the shock that came with them turned into deep, bone-chilling despair.

Facing such a super calamity that spanned countless worlds, the Moon Eclipse Clan’s high-level officials saw no hope, knowing that even if they found a safe world, it would still be devoured by the forthcoming Horror Black Tide.

The scenes seen by the high-ranking officials of the Moon Eclipse Clan were the ones Qi Sheng had recorded while traveling through different worlds with Yan Ming.

These images had once caused Qi Sheng to be immensely shocked.

And it was even more so for the high-ranking officials present, as they knew that with the appearance of the Black Tide Rift, a catastrophic disaster awaited them.

As the images vanished, Qi Sheng’s gaze swept over the ashen-faced Moon Eclipse Clan officials, and his voice rose deep within their hearts:

"Looking up from the bottom of a well, unaware of the vastness of the sun, moon, and stars, your battle plans, no matter how they change, cannot alter the ending of the Black Tide devouring you."

Hearing this, the expressions of the leading Governors changed.

Through these images, they already understood that all the combat plans of the Moon Eclipse Clan were unworkable.

It was like a group of children discussing whether to use a stick or a wooden sword... which weapon to choose to defeat the enemy, while the enemy’s image in the database was a strong adult armed with firearms. In reality, behind this firearm-bearing adult, there was a Super Army capable of interstellar warfare.

The overwhelming difference in strength made their planning meaningless.

"Why have you come here?" the desperate Governor One asked after taking a deep breath, voicing their doubts.

"On a whim, I thought I’d play an interesting little game, creating a force with infinite growth potential to confront the Black Tide... and I chose Earth as the starting point for this game."

Qi Sheng did not reveal the truth in response to the question.

Instead, he fabricated the tale of a Creation Level powerful being, who on a whim, wanted to craft a superpower to contend with the Black Tide, and the Moon Eclipse Clan on Earth was one of the targets for recruitment.

After listening to Qi Sheng’s story, the high-ranking Moon Eclipse Clan officials understood his idea.

This mysterious existence wanted to launch a special game.

The ultimate goal of the game was to crush the Black Tide, but he would not take the field himself. Instead, he would grant the recruited players unlimited growth potential, allowing them to strive against the Black Tide through their own efforts.

As the Moon Eclipse Clan’s high-level officials were still in shock, the Star Network’s AI, controlled by Guidance, suddenly spoke up:

"Of course, there’s a prerequisite to experiencing this game. Before the one behind me wants to disclose the truth, you must keep it secret... In fact, if you don’t want to keep it secret, I have countless ways to make you do so. This is just a preemptive warning."

"In summary, I can grant you the growth potential to overcome the Black Tide, but you will have to forge your own path ahead."

"As to why I chose you, it’s because the individual behind me wants to release this game under your name..."

Guidance elaborated on the game plan.

In Qi Sheng’s view, this plan could be interpreted as a scheme to legitimize a pirated version.

Of this plan, only the 18 high-ranking officials of the Moon Eclipse Clan present, and the Intelligent Brain of the Star Network, knew part of the truth.

Before he wanted to reveal the truth, not even the members of the Moon Eclipse Clan would be aware of the truth, thinking that this was a game secretly developed by the clan’s upper management and the Star Network.

Even if other clans in reality realized that Dark Land and "Dark Land" were actually two different games, both would appear to them as releases by the Moon Eclipse Clan.

One would be a hidden version, and the other the official version publicly known.

At this moment, Governor Six, sitting in the sixth seat, suddenly questioned amidst the shock:

"I would like to know the content of this game. Although we have been granted infinite growth potential by you, we still need resources to convert into strength. So, where should we obtain these resources from?"

In response to the question, the Star Network, controlled by Guidance, provided an explanation:

"A Super World that can infinitely generate resources. There, you will explore the world as players, compete with numerous Strong Clans, and snatch resources that will allow you to grow rapidly."
