What is gained and what is lost, this is destined to be a topic of eternal pain.

Until the end, no one knows, what is the most precious?

For example, the Five Cities Alliance, and Zhou Yue, who knows the truth at this moment, to be honest, he would rather not know the truth.

But this is the key to the most painful thing, before you don't know the truth, everyone can't wait to understand, but after you really understand, you regret it!

Is it good to be an NPC? Is it good to be manipulated by fate? If you had to choose between freedom and NPCs, it is estimated that most people would choose freedom.

But that's how cruel it is!

The Five Cities Alliance has experienced a painful lesson and witnessed the struggles of countless people, and finally learned that in this black city world where there is no escape at all, becoming an NPC, especially an NPC in the black city world, is the happiest thing, while the NPC on the earth can only be regarded as the second happiest, and the most tragic is the awakened!

Except for the so-called freedom, but this freedom is so bad!

The identity problem that Zhou Yue was worried about before was not a problem at all, and the awakened could enter and leave any main city freely!

However, unlike NPCs, every thirty years, thunder will fall from the world of the Black City, an incomparably terrifying thunder, and all awakened people who have broken free from the identity of NPCs will be cleaned up and killed by this thunder, and there is no room for maneuver!

If you want to dodge, if you want to break free from this fate!

It's very simple, 1 point of divine power can bribe heaven and earth, so as to resist this kind of thunder, don't expect to escape, even if you escape thousands of feet underground, the thunder will chase after you without any suspense!

Therefore, all the awakened must try their best to earn enough divine power to deal with this thunder every thirty years, which is the so-called Little Heavenly Tribulation!

But is that enough? Is that secure?

Wrong! Miss by a mile!

The small tribulation once in thirty years is just a piece of cake, once you carry five such small tribulations, then, these awakened people will suffer a great tribulation once in 150 years!

And this great catastrophe is not something that can be resisted by relying on divine power alone, even if it is bribed with 5 points of divine power, it is only to reduce the power of this great catastrophe by half, and the remaining half needs to be carried by various methods, desperately to carry it, I can't bear it, I'm sorry, I will scatter my soul!

According to the strength standard of the Black City World, to be able to resist a small catastrophe, at least the strength of an epic one-star is required, so this is equivalent to saving 1 point of divine power.

However, those who can resist the Great Heavenly Tribulation need at least the strength of a demigod-level one-star.

But this is still not the end, it seems that this is the punishment for the awakened, if an awakened person can withstand five small tribulations, five big tribulations, then, naturally, there will be a super large tribulation, this super large tribulation needs to take out 25 points of divine power, in order to reduce half of the power, but under normal circumstances, the guy who can resist this super large tribulation needs to have at least the strength of an ancient one-star.

Is that the end of it?

No, it can't be, when after enduring five super large tribulations, that is to say, at this time, this awakened person has at least awakened and lived for 3750 years, then, after the fifth super large tribulation, there will be an even more terrifying super berserk tribulation, which requires paying 125 points of divine power at a time to cut it in half, but it requires at least the strength of a flood level one star to be able to withstand it.

But that's not the end of it!

When an Awakened Person is able to survive five Super Raging Tribulations, that is, after living fifteen,750 after awakening, there will be a World Destroying Tribulation! It's almost insurmountable.

No Awakened can carry it!

At least that's true in the intelligence perception of the Five Cities Alliance.

In other words, even the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor can't resist this final catastrophe!

Of course, for a normal person, being able to live for 10,000 years is already earned, but take a closer look, an awakened person, since he took this step, is actually living under tremendous pressure every day, every year, a small catastrophe once in thirty years, a big catastrophe once in one hundred and fifty years, this is all fatal, who dares to be confused, who dares to relax, who dares to be careless?

At least Zhou Yue didn't dare!

And look at the real NPCs, even if the NPCs on the earth are counted, they only have a lifespan of a few decades, but the NPCs in the Black City sub-world are very easy to live for hundreds or thousands of years, as long as they are not too unlucky!

Compared to the two, there must be no one who wants to pursue any freedom, who wants to be an Awakened One, and everyone wants to become an NPC again.

It's a pity that this step is life and death!

Luck, Heavenly Luck, and divine power, these are all extremely needed by the awakened, but unfortunately, because of the awakening, they will be rejected by the Black City Sub-World!

In the simplest example, if an NPC soldier of the projection faction can kill an NPC soldier of the main faction, then at least three to five points of luck can be obtained.

But if you change to an Awakened One, it will immediately be dozens of times less, and you can only get 0. 1 share of luck, no matter what soldier is killed, it is the same, even if it is a general.

The divine power obtained is also in accordance with this rule.

What's even more painful is that the Awakened with the same strength has twice as long the cooldown time as the NPC when releasing various skills.

In terms of food, NPCs can not be hungry for three days with a piece of bread, but the Awakened can only eat one meal, and they have to eat at least two pieces of bread every day to replenish enough body!

One can imagine how harsh this black city world is for the Awakened!

In the previous three years, Zhou Yue didn't notice it at all because he had Alia's heart to restore his body, but now he knows how difficult the world he is facing is for him!

In this case, almost all the Awakened are trying their best to gather luck and divine power as best they can, and will do whatever it takes to achieve this goal.

It's all about living!

There are no lofty goals and hopes, and there is no negative hatred and hatred, because there is no need, just to survive, they have exhausted all means!

The Awakened are still like this, those Earth NPCs who were abducted in, because they were shackled, so the situation became more and more conceivable, they are also equal to the Awakened, and the tribulation once in thirty years still can't escape, but under the pressure of the Five Cities Alliance, they often die faster.

This is the truth that Zhou Yue obtained, and he himself was dripping in a cold sweat after learning about it, because he was not sure whether he could survive in this cruel environment.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he still has the heart of Alia!

But now Zhou Yue doesn't have to worry about the little tribulation after thirty years for the time being.

He also has a question, that is, the old dragon, according to the normal situation, the old dragon is also an NPC in the black city sub-world, but at the same time he understands the awakened one, logically speaking, he should be the awakened, but he can still integrate into the plot and has not suffered a catastrophe, which has to be said to be a strange thing.

In addition, the moon god maid, as well as the little blue bird, are all suspicious, according to their behavior, they should belong to the awakened, but they are beyond this category.

Unfortunately, Christina doesn't have any information about this in her memory.
