Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True
Chapter 201

In the battle for resource points, collisions between territories were far from rare.

This mechanic was one of the most common forms of player competition in the Boundless Territory gameplay, second only to territorial wars.

Unlike territorial wars, which typically required players to be on the same server and revolved around disputes over territory boundaries and resource control, resource point battles were far more flexible. Taking the form of instanced dungeons, they encompassed territories across the entire game.

Even if you lost a resource point battle, the penalty was merely the loss of one dungeon attempt—nowhere near as devastating as the existential threat posed by losing a territorial war. This made resource point battles a much more frequent form of competition, which was why the upgrade requirements from a level 8 to a level 9 territory were heavily focused on military development.

Once two sides encountered each other in a resource point battle, if either party chose to open a channel, the other side had no choice but to engage. The only way to avoid being pulled into the "matchmaking" mechanic was to expend additional resources on a rare capture. However, even with the extra cost, this method could only be used once per month, making it impossible to consistently dodge battles.

The only somewhat effective strategy was to carefully time void captures to minimize the chances of being matched against opponents.

That said, no lord player would actively avoid battle. Victory meant double the resource rewards—essentially turning the time invested in a void capture into a doubled return.

Except for the "lucky" ones—like the team from the Gu Yin civilization, who encountered the forces of White Night City in their very first resource point battle.

The battle ended far too quickly. Before the spatial channel between the two sides had even fully stabilized, the Hellfire Demon Lord Walsh stepped through, his expression one of mild confusion.

Before the players could even react, the divine realm champions they had brought into the dungeon as reinforcements instantly recognized him.

"Oh heavens… the Hellfire Demon Lord!"

"Run if you can!"

After delivering these brief warnings to their summoners, every single divine realm champion unanimously terminated their "contracts" and vanished back to the divine realm.

As the saying went, divine summoning wasn’t a strict contractual relationship. Summoned beings only fulfilled reasonable requests—helping where they could within reason, but never at the cost of their lives.

Even the most honor-bound knights would retreat at this point. They could always compensate the players by answering another summon later—only a madman would stand against an unstoppable force for the sake of a routine contract.

With the divine champions gone in an instant, the enemies that might have held Walsh’s attention for a second or two were now utterly uninteresting.

While the players were still reeling from the revelation that White Night City had not only the Elven Queen but also the Hellfire Demon Lord in its ranks, Walsh casually flicked his wrist, sending a wave of hellfire their way.

Less than three seconds after being "burned," every player on the field saw their vision go black as they entered the dark void of the death state.

—What kind of nonsense was this?!

The Gu Yin civilization, skilled in commercial operations, quickly sold the intel about "White Night City securing the Hellfire Demon Lord’s aid" to recoup their losses from the void dungeon.

The major civilizations across the universe, upon receiving this information, fell into silence once again.

Especially since players now had a basic understanding of the divine realm’s hierarchy—they knew exactly what kind of universally despised, rebellious role the Hellfire lineage played. Even the Hellfire-aligned champions that players could summon were notoriously difficult to please.

On the StarNet, news about White Night City became a hot topic again with the appearance of the Hellfire Demon Lord, and this time, the reports couldn’t help but drip with envy:

[Just how rich is White Night? How many resources did they spend? Is this related to personal luck?]

[First, the Elven Queen acts as a productivity buff in their territory, now the Hellfire Demon Lord helps seize resource points… Speculating on the possibility of an Ancient Dragon appearing in White Night City.]

[Gu Yin Civilization now selling the most up-to-date, comprehensive data on White Night City’s void capture schedule. Interested civilizations, please inquire.]

……

The Hellfire Demon Lord’s appearance sent shockwaves through the interstellar civilizations. In the midst of this, the Gu Yin civilization made a small fortune by selling intel on White Night City’s likely dungeon entry times.

Under fully stocked resource conditions, void captures followed a fixed schedule. By estimating the last time White Night City had cleared a dungeon, other civilizations could avoid the "matchmaking" window and dodge an unexpected disaster.

The timing wasn’t perfectly precise, since it was based on dungeon clear times, but for that half-day window, every civilization with the intel deliberately avoided initiating void captures.

Better to delay their dungeon runs than risk getting matched against White Night City!

White Night City, for its part, seemed indifferent. It made no effort to adjust its dungeon schedule to hunt down other players, much to everyone’s relief.

Meanwhile, territorial wars erupted between player territories as resource point disputes intensified.

To be fair, territorial wars had already broken out in other servers over various resources, but the competition for resource points pushed the frequency of conflicts into overdrive.

Some territories experienced explosive growth thanks to resource points or successful wars, while others suffered devastating losses on the battlefield, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Yet, amid all this frenzied fighting, White Night City continued its rapid development, entirely unaffected.

The first reason was the unique nature of the Blue Star server. No civilization had committed significant forces to establishing territories here—even the Blue Star Council’s leading members, the Qilong Empire and the Pan-Stellar Federation, kept their main territories in their home star systems.

By comparison, the Blue Star server was mostly populated by spies, with only a handful of lord players, the most advanced of whom had only reached town-level development.

The second reason was sheer strength. Even though many lords later recognized the advantages of White Night City’s Origin Crystal Mines, they only sought similar resources within their own servers. Launching a territorial war via teleportation was not only prohibitively expensive… but more importantly, victory was far from guaranteed.

Even ignoring the current presence of the Elven Queen and the Hellfire Demon Lord in White Night City, no territory would have dared declare war on it in the past.

Now, with most territories having accumulated significant factional alignment values in their mid-to-late development stages, declaring a territorial war triggered a direct comparison between the three major factional values of both sides. These three factions were in constant opposition—whichever side had higher alignment values would receive corresponding factional support.

This support could come in the form of resources, knowledge, influence, or even direct military aid—all depending on the faction alignment values.

In other territorial wars, even the weaker side could secure backing from at least one faction. But White Night City's faction alignment far surpasses that of any other player territory, making it a true 'all-rounder.' If war were declared, they wouldn’t receive any faction support at all; instead, their opponents would gain substantial backing.

Due to its overwhelming comprehensive strength, White Night City has gradually transcended the perception of being just another player territory in the interstellar civilization. It has become something beyond the ordinary player tier—an entity to be revered.

Even the most powerful cosmic civilizations in reality can no longer deny this fact.

…

[Congratulations to White Night City for constructing the server’s first Grand Library!]

[You have achieved the milestone ‘Grand Library’; +1000 Magic Faction alignment, +1000 Alchemy Faction alignment, +1000 Chaos Faction alignment.]

Unnoticed by many, three months had passed since the Divine Summoning first appeared, and nearly two months since the Five Divine Kings arrived in White Night City. During this time, the territory had not only experienced explosive resource growth under the assistance of the Elven Queen and the Infernal Demon God but had also made staggering progress in development.

In terms of territorial construction, the Advanced Academy was upgraded a month ago, and the most challenging landmark—the Grand Library—was swiftly completed once the required number of inventions from the territory’s talents was met.

Militarily, the number of top-tier units steadily increased through void captures. Culturally and educationally, a surge of new inventions emerged as the professional skills of the territory’s talents improved. Economically, it was nothing short of a golden age, with monthly revenues long surpassing 10,000 gold coins…

Everything was progressing smoothly. The only thing missing was a few of the territory’s most exceptional high-level talents breaking through to the Master rank, fulfilling the requirement of ten top-tier professionals to meet the final conditions for upgrading to a Level 10 territory.

Under the guidance of Naoh—a divine-level scholar in Runic Studies, a divine Archmage, a divine Alchemist, and other god-tier professionals—the territory’s professionals were just one step away from shattering the barrier to Mastery.

On the streets of White Night City, Naoh stood at the center, casting ‘Concealment’ on himself. Passersby walked right through his form, oblivious to his presence, as if he existed in another layer of space.

His usually pale cheeks were tinged with a faint flush as he gazed around the territory, unwilling to blink. Then, through their mental link, he asked:

"Can you see it?"

The Black Pupils of the Divine King’s Hand grew deeper and more profound than usual, for within them reflected another pair of dark eyes.

"I can see it. It’s no different from seeing it myself," Ye Bai replied from her throne, smiling. "Could you show me around?"

"Of course. It would be my honor," Naoh responded immediately.

During her time on the throne, Ye Bai’s power had continued to grow. With her increasing strength and mastery over the control panel, she could now accomplish far more than before.

For instance, she had always been able to sense the territory, but that perception was macro-level—similar to a third-person view in a single-player city-building game. It was like when she first chose the territory’s location: a broad, bird’s-eye perspective that offered only a general overview, with details remaining hazy.

Now, however, by leveraging her connection to the Tree of Creation and her ‘authorization’ over Naoh, she could share his vision, experiencing the current state of White Night City in first-person.

As Naoh walked, Ye Bai ‘toured’ White Night City unnoticed. Familiar faces were everywhere—those who had followed her ten thousand years later and those who had followed her ten thousand years earlier.

Back in the Eternal City of the Divine Realm, during her reign as the Divine King, Ye Bai had already enjoyed an extravagant city setup. But that was with administrator privileges, playing a single-player game with a walkthrough—naturally, everything was top-tier.

She had the Phantom King as her deputy, overseeing the library; the Spatial Dragon as her mount, guarding the treasury; the Elven Queen swearing allegiance to tend the Eternal City’s gardens; the Infernal Demon God, no matter how rebellious, bound to wage war at her command; and the Sea God as her pet, whose daily duties involved… eating and blowing bubbles.

Now, in White Night City, the roster of elite talents under Ye Bai’s command was far more extensive and well-rounded than players could imagine. It was the kind of VVV…VIP experience one could only get by treating an MMO like a single-player game—with cheats enabled.

The Phantom King handled territorial education, the Elven Queen managed agriculture, the Infernal Demon God and the Sea God assisted in military campaigns and dungeon raids, and the Ancient Dragon…

At the sight of the Ancient Dragon’s location, Ye Bai paused on her throne.

Well… the Ancient Dragon was guarding a bakery.
