Absolute Destiny Game

Hong Fu Qitian seemed unsurprised by this decision and nodded slightly. Perhaps it was the early aging of his body, even though his actual age hadn’t increased, he already had some of the calmness and steadiness of an elderly person in his mindset. "In that case, many thanks to the chairman. However, given our Dragon Soaring Country’s current strength and resources, if we only protect one person, it would be somewhat wasteful. In my opinion, we must occupy two to three seats in the top ten to showcase the grandeur of Dragon Soaring and reserve more high-end combat power for the future."

"Then who do you think, apart from you, would be suitable?" Long Xingtianxia asked, knowing Hong Fu Qitian’s analytical skills are extremely strong.

"The selection must be careful," Hong Fu Qitian pondered, "The primary consideration is the possibility of becoming Immortal in the future. Therefore, members above Level 40 are basically not considered, as their profession system is already fixed with limited potential. Next, it’s best if they come from a Magic profession, according to analysis on the ’Hidden Moon Following Wind’ path, Immortal Path seems to lean more towards Qi Refinement and Magic Control. Physical professions, even if they luckily get guidance from an Immortal, are probably difficult to touch the true core of the Immortal Path, at most, it’s just a boost in combat power."

"Indeed." Long Xingtianxia nodded slightly, Hong Fu Qitian’s analysis coincided with the team’s conclusion. "In this light, candidates can only be chosen from the guild’s Level 20 to 30 of ’True Man’ or ’Heavenly Master’ professions. To be safe, focusing resources to push three people is more appropriate, too many and the resources would be spread out, possibly leaving none protected."

Regarding how to effectively ’harvest’ personal merits in large-scale events, major guilds have long had a mature and efficient operation model. Although the [World-saving Merit] nominally counts individually, a giant like Dragon Soaring naturally has the means to transform it into collective behavior.

Since killing strong elite monsters, especially Boss-level demons, can grant large amounts of merit, it’s simple—the guild organizes an elite team to wear down strong targets till they are weak and then allow the pushed candidate to finish it with the final strike, naturally concentrating the merit on the target.

Similarly, in the task of reclaiming lost land, the player completing the final "flag insertion" ceremony task will also receive huge merits, this spot can likewise be arranged for designated individuals. Once the guild machinery gets rolling, resource tilting, cultivating several top-of-the-merit candidates is not difficult.

And having similar thoughts, aiming to seize a share in this Immortal Fate feast, Dragon Soaring is clearly not alone.

"Boss, are you really going to step in yourself to compete for this Immortal Disciple?" Feng Lin Huoshan looked at the fist-rubbing Supreme Emperor, astonished.

"Of course!" Supreme Emperor raised his chin slightly, his face showing usual confidence and arrogance, "Who said that high level can’t participate? Just relying on my strong ability to transform into a Divine Dragon, isn’t it casual to harvest merit on the battlefield? Can those Little Monsters and Elites withstand a few of my claws?"

"But... isn’t the guild’s analysis saying that above Level 40 there’s no way to become Immortal? Even if one becomes an Immortal Disciple, I’m afraid..." Feng Lin Huoshan reminded.

"Hmph, so what if not becoming Immortal?" Supreme Emperor dismissed with a wave, "Being able to become an Immortal Disciple, in the end, allows one to learn strong skills and enhance strength. Moreover, how would one know without trying? What if there’s some special chance? Don’t forget, we are now ’Guest Generals’ at Dragon Soaring, seemingly holding a high position, but ultimately falling short in core resource allocation. Such a great opportunity concerning personal strength leap, naturally should prioritize personal interests.

I think, Feng Lin, you could also give it a shot! You are a ’Great Five Elements Mage’, born and bred in the Magic profession, with huge potential, perhaps taking this opportunity to advance once more, you might touch the edge of the Immortal Path!"

Jiuding Mountain — Fallen Star Cliff:

Twelve core members of the mysterious organization ’Pantheon’ (or their projections), gathered once more on the mystical jade plate.

"Everyone, Immortal Fate has appeared, just before our eyes! In my opinion, this time we must concentrate all resources, unite to push one or two people into the top ten, thus ensuring our Pantheon occupies a place at the start of this Immortal Path!" a resonant voice projection first spoke.

"Hmph, such noble words indeed!" someone immediately mocked, "Aren’t you recommending yourself, or your confidants, to be the lucky ones cultivated with concentrated resources?"

"In my opinion, everyone relies on their own abilities, as for me, I’m not interested in helping others become Immortal..."

"Wow, at this time still so selfish? Is there any team spirit?"

"Hahaha, how ridiculous, when did our Pantheon ever have team spirit? Last time at Man Yue State harvesting Soaring Snake, who took the drops and ran off."

On the jade plate, a noisy debate immediately arose. Some advocated distributing opportunities based on Contribution Points, others proposed internal contests, and some believed that members with special talents or holding key items should be prioritized for cultivation. Representatives of various factions argued placidly, citing references, mutual rebuke, making the scene quite chaotic. Everyone wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for themselves, after all, the temptation of becoming Immortal is too great, no one wanted to easily give way.

After a round of intense yet fruitless argument, Divine Calculation Sky Demon looked at these partners, each with hidden agendas and unwilling to yield, and couldn’t help but shake his head secretly. ’To conspire on major events with those who only know how to lust for power and profit, how difficult it is!’ He sighed in his heart. It seemed this time, the organization was unreliable, and he could only rely on himself and his direct forces to fight for a chance.
