Chapter 545: Chapter 86: The Crownless God_1

Up to this point, the preview trailer, lasting less than three minutes, had ended.

Although there wasn’t much information, the silhouette of the new version’s boss was still revealed.

As Annan’s oldest brother, Dmitry, the eldest son of the Duke of Winter, finally made his appearance in the players’ awareness.

Annan considered that after the players dispersed, there was still a chance they would encounter Solomonik and Vladimir. Knowing what the boss looked like in advance was a good thing for them.

And the "materials" for this preview trailer came from what Annan had witnessed.

He extracted these elements from his own memories and did some simple editing. Solomonik and Vladimir became traitors who coveted the power of the holy bones and betrayed the Duchy of Winter.

Vladimir had the look of a boss, while the hunchbacked Solomonik resembled a madman addicted to killing.

Of course, Annan knew there was a deeper reason behind Vladimir’s betrayal of Winter. However, it wasn’t easy to explain the details briefly. He decided to set their character first and then let the players investigate them on their own.

The information players investigated and discovered on their own was more credible to them.

——After all, these two were indeed no good.

It was better to have the players familiarize themselves with their faces and simply understand that "this is the boss of this Chapter; don’t rush in when you see them." Then Annan could let them roam freely in the Underworld.

Apart from leveling up, Annan also had the time to travel to different cities by subway to investigate the matter.

Therefore, Annan issued a new main quest to all the players who had watched the trailer:

[You have received the main quest: Wheel of Fate: Initiation]

[Quest Requirement: Form a swift strike team and reach the Bone-nurturing Ground by the first of July (0/1)]

[Special Requirement 1 (Normal difficulty): Complete the quest when all members of the squad reach the Bronze rank. Upon achieving this goal, the quest "Newborn Courage" can be taken.]

[Special Requirement 2 (Hard difficulty): Complete the quest when all members of the squad reach the Silver rank. Upon achieving this goal, the quest "True Courage" can be taken.]

[Special Requirement 3 (Twisted difficulty): Complete the quest when all members of the squad reach the Gold rank. Upon achieving this goal, the quest "Walk with Me" can be taken.]

For the first and second batch of players, as long as they didn’t die too many times, achieving hard difficulty was basically not difficult. Even new players could enter Silver within four months if they were efficient enough.

As for the one with twisted difficulty... it was actually just for show.

...Annan didn’t really expect players to advance to Gold within four months.

After all, to advance to Gold, one must have a strong and pure desire. This might stop a large number of players... If they didn’t treat this world as real, they would definitely not reach the Gold rank.

And their origins meant that their "Heart Demons" could only come from another world... This meant that the players had to achieve perfect balance between the two worlds.

They had to generate a strong "desire to ascend" in the real world, while also taking this world very seriously, treating it as a second life.

——But let’s write it down anyway.

Consider it a challenge for the hard-core players.

After all, the goal of reaching Silver rank was really too easy. There are already quite a few who have achieved it.

Four months’ time...

We can’t let the players slack off.

We have to prepare some game content for them.

Just in case there are hardcore players, right.jpg

They were already drooling over the numerous side dungeons of the Underworld.

After the teleportation points were opened, players began teleporting down en masse.

Aside from those whose teleportation point was about to open and were therefore delayed for a few days, almost all the other players had teleported to the Sporogenesis Mill in droves.

Only after seeing the seventy-odd Transcendents arrive one after another did Niusel truly realize that "The Hidden Eye" was serious.

After all, neither Annan nor Lin Yiyi and their party of three.

During this time, they hadn’t repeatedly stressed to Niusel that "we have a large number of reinforcements." Niusel himself had even forgotten about it until now.

Niusel now looked back.

He thought that Annan and the others didn’t emphasize or repeat this matter because they truly believed it was a matter of course... and that everyone found nothing odd about this.

—Because everyone from the "Secret Eye" felt that traveling all the way to the Underworld to help others purify nightmares was not something to boast about repeatedly!

But in Niusel’s view, this was a most noble deed.

The True God’s clergy earned people’s respect and political attention by faithfully fulfilling their mission with unwavering determination and their own lives.

How the Silver Baron’s priests treated them, how Yawen’s priests treated them, on the other hand, was just an addition.

The common people had no idea what the difference between a True God and a False God was.

To them, the biggest distinction was that "the True God’s clergy would proactively purify nightmares." Meanwhile, the False God’s clergy would prioritize themselves.

These young men and women of the Secret Eye...

Were like the clergy of True Gods who served no god at all.

Or perhaps... it was as Naifertali had said to him.

—The "Seventh Daylight, Unborn" worshipped by the Sun Council, was a "crownless God"?

If Naifertali hadn’t been there when the players dropped in, Niusel might even have suspected that Lin Yiyi and the others did something in the Sporogenesis Mill to allow so many Transcendents to teleport at once... Although there were less than a hundred people, it was already a strategic significance of large-scale Legion transportation capabilities.

— Keep in mind, this was Transcendent inter-nation transportation!

Not only was the range extremely far, but it also crossed the grand barrier... Niusel had heard from these newcomers that they were originally from Noah’s Kingdom.

But this rather dispelled Niusel’s doubts.

It proved that they were not official and were sufficiently peace-loving.

Because, if they were related to the Noah family or had sold this technology to the King, Noah’s people would have invaded the Winter Duchy by air-dropping a large number of Transcendents long ago.

If they could teleport over seventy silver-rank Transcendents skilled in guerrilla tactics in one go, the Frost Beast Legion on the Winter side might not even be able to make a move.

And afterwards, Naifertali quickly discerned the means of the "Secret Eye." After all, she was a wise woman of orthodox Ritualist origins.

Although the specifics were unclear... their teleportation was reliant on "rituals."

And it was about light, about candle flame, about the Seventh Daylight — that is, the ritual of the Light of the Chariot.

The Chariot, yet to become divine, even yet to be born, could support such a level of ritual... Perhaps this meant that its true power was already very close to that of a True God.

And this investigative result made Niusel and Naifertali respect the Secret Eye even more.

Since Giralda had delivered on his promise.

Niusel did not go back on his word.

All the players who were teleported over each received a set of estates in the Sporogenesis Mill, along with ample travel and living expenses, and were issued temporary residency permits for the Sporogenesis Mill. This meant that Niusel vouched for these players with his own reputation. This would allow them to avoid some unnecessary troubles when traveling to other cities.

To gather a large sum of money all at once, Niusel even liquidated part of his collection. He also prepared a gift for Lin Yiyi and the other two, intending to give it to them when they left.

Niusel even prepared a rather expensive gift for Annan — although Annan felt it was actually unnecessary, considering he had already received a relic of the saint’s bones... There’s a limit to how much fleece one can take from a sheep.

Too honest to fleece without guilt.jpg

It was only thanks to Niusel’s sponsorship that the players were able to travel to different cities.

They entered twenty different cities in teams of four, each conforming to the standard of light rangers — covering the underground of major cities in Noah Kingdom, the Winter Duchy, The Holy Nation, and the United Kingdom.

And as the players followed the original plan, heading to different Underground Cities.

Facing the promotional video for the second test players arriving in March... Annan was also ready.

—Today, March the first.

It was the day to officially release "second test qualifications" to Lin Yiyi’s world.

The number was, three hundred people.
