Absolute Destiny Game

Xiao Jie’s gaze constantly shifted between the dozens of large and small screens of the Mysterious Light Reflection Pond. While meticulously observing the real-time dynamics of various battlefields across Canglin State, analyzing the players’ tactics and strengths, he also paid attention to the expressions and verbal reactions of the three Immortals beside him, Lin Xuance, Wu Qingyue, and Su Zhiqing, trying to glean more hints about the connection between the "system" and the "Immortals."

As the game’s time quietly reached the scheduled eight o’clock in the morning, the main force of the Longxiang Three States Alliance Army led by Long Xingtianxia surged across Canglin State’s border like a bursting flood, stepping into this land ravaged by demons.

The mighty army did not crowd into one place but swiftly and efficiently divided into over a dozen columns, advancing toward their predetermined targets. Their mission was clear: to reclaim the towns and villages along the way occupied by demons, while conducting a comprehensive cleanup of the roaming, rampant demon scattered troops in the wild.

However, even before the main force of the Alliance Army officially entered, keen-sensed players had already formed one formidable or elite team after another, much like sharks smelling blood, taking the initiative to start the hunt for demons.

During the event, the drop rate for all demon-type monsters increased significantly, and defeating them also awarded precious [World-saving Merit]. Such a beneficial scenario where players can both collect treasures and compete in rankings was naturally irresistible. High-level players, full of confidence, directly formed elite teams, specifically targeting elite monsters and small-sized bosses, achieving remarkable efficiency; those players with lower levels or less confidence in their strength wisely chose to blend into the large army of NPC Alliance forces, letting the NPC soldiers take the damage while they seized opportunities for kills and looted equipment, filling their pockets as they mixed in the "fat and round belly."

At this moment, the entire Canglin State seemed to have truly transformed into a demon’s carnival paradise, with various twisted and bizarre demon-type monsters visible almost everywhere. Formerly bustling or peaceful towns and villages mostly fell into demon-aligned nests.

Thus, with the advancement of the Alliance Army and the activation of player teams, the flames of battle ignited across Canglin State. The siege battles to reclaim lands, the encounter battles in the wilderness, the annihilation battles against elites... battles of various scales sprang up one after another.

Soon, in more than eighty percent of the screens in the Mysterious Light Reflection Pond, scenes of intense combat were occupying the view. The sound of battle cries, the clash of weapons, the explosions of spells, and the roars of demons seemed to be able to transmit through the water screen. Yet, the three Immortals sitting by the pond could manage multiple tasks simultaneously, calmly transferring their gaze between different scenes, taking in all the battle situations without missing anything, showcasing the strength of Immortal Divine Sense clearly.

Meanwhile, at the top right of all players’ screens, a [World-saving Merit Ranking] appeared. This was a display unique to the event, updating in real-time to show the current rankings of the top ten players’ IDs and their respective affiliations.

Xiao Jie looked up, only to see the one currently topping the list was none other than Hong Fu Qitian of the Dragon Soaring Guild!

"It seems Dragon Soaring is determined to staunchly defend this position." Xiao Jie realized inwardly. From the screens showing the scenes of recaptured towns, several towns that were conquered by the Alliance Army saw Hong Fu Qitian completing the final "flag setting" ritual, announcing the reclamation.

Not only that, but some elite leaders and even small bosses entrenched within the towns were cooperatively weakened by Dragon Soaring’s elite teams, leaving Hong Fu Qitian to easily land the final blow and reap a massive amount of merit points. This guild-centered resource "raising strategy" is not uncommon in large events and proves highly effective. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Xiao Jie wasn’t surprised by this; Hong Fu Qitian’s contributions to Dragon Soaring were numerous, and giving him such benefits was only reasonable.

The second in the merit ranking was a player with the ID Qingfeng Lanhuai. Xiao Jie had a slight impression of this person, who was the president of the "Wind Hunting Group," a medium-sized guild known for its mobility and long-range firepower. The last time Flipped Cake was with him, he ended up dying while fighting a world boss. The president clearly took advantage of Wind Hunting Group’s adeptness at mobile and long-range combat, leading an elite squad that early infiltrated the event area, successfully grabbing the first discovered outdoor boss’s kill within five minutes of the event opening, propelling merit to the top three, showing impressive momentum.

However, as Dragon Soaring and several other powerful large guilds successively engaged fully, investing massive resources, Qingfeng Lanhuai’s ranking was quickly pushed down.

Although Dragon Soaring Country is now at its peak, being the largest guild power in the game, there are some formidable guilds in Man Yue State, Flowing Fire State, Dream Swamp State, and even locally in Canglin State. These guilds, due to activities in high-risk maps with higher monster levels and harsher environments over the years, may not have as many members as Dragon Soaring, but their average levels, equipment standards, and battle proficiency are noticeably higher. Currently, among the top ten in the merit ranking, four slots are occupied by core members of these "local tyrant" guilds, each demonstrating considerable strength.

Suddenly, a name that was quite familiar to Xiao Jie caught his eye—Divine Calculation Sky Demon!

"Hehe, this kid has joined the battle as well." Xiao Jie’s lips curled into a smile of ambiguous meaning. For a few seconds, he even felt a surge of impulse in his heart to immediately set out, find this guy and knock him out of the competition. After all, during the Ten Extremes Formation, this guy had once dumped quite a bit of blame on him.
