Chapter 678: Nine Years Later
Outer Continent.
Time flies, and nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Originally, the strife between the empires was limited to Glory, Ripples, and Mera.
The three are adjacent to each other, but they have different beliefs, respectively believing in the sacred fire, the deep sea, and the plague, which is why irreconcilable conflicts and wars occur.
According to common sense, the other six empires that were not affected by the war are all countries that believe in the "fire of salvation", and even if they do not participate in the war, they will help the glorious empire in private, so this war will not last long, and it will most likely end in the victory of the glorious empire.
However, this originally such fate line has undergone earth-shaking changes with the intervention of a young girl.
She...... No, it should be called Him now, it is none other than Danilucius.
Dini had been promoted to the demigod of the Holy Fire a year earlier.
In the past nine years, under his call, countless immortal strangers who have descended on the outer continent have joined the "Blue Serpent" mercenary group.
Hundreds of thousands of mid-sequence transcendents have given the Ripple Empire its unrivaled strength, so much so that in this war, it has become a well-deserved overlord-level existence.
In addition, among the other eight empires, there are still undead strangers scattered like elbows and armpits, wantonly destroying, causing the original order to collapse rapidly.
The glorious empire collapsed three years ago, and the territory was divided and devoured by Ripples and Mera.
As a result, the six empires of Bai Ye, Starfire, Burning, Sunset, Endless and Apocalypse were completely enraged, and they swore an alliance and together targeted the Ripple Empire.
The Mera Empire is also within their striking range.
Fortunately, the outer continent is vast and the battle front is long, relying on geographical advantages, Ripple and Mera resisted the pressure at the initial stage.
However, three years later, the alliance of the six empires still reached the territory of the Ripple Empire, encircling the central city of "Vieri", which is second only to the capital.
The Ripple Army, the Serpent Mercenary Regiment, and the Abbasid Order are desperately resisting the onslaught, and beyond the tall walls, there are countless coalition forces.
The sound of weapons clashing, the rain of arrows, the sound of throwing stones, the sound of trumpets and drums, intermingled, suddenly resembled an epic symphony called "war".
On the city walls, the North Star squad stood still.
They work together, with someone in charge of observing the situation, someone in charge of analyzing and proposing, and someone in charge of liaising with the next level of player captain to obtain real-time intelligence.
But in the end, it will be Polaris himself who will give macro orders in the channel of "Blue Snake", directing hundreds of thousands of players to fight.
This is an unprecedented, super-sized battle.
It is also the main story with the highest player participation and the most enjoyable in the four versions.
It is worth mentioning that in the past nine years, in addition to the first promotion of the Sage on the North Star, six high-ranking players have appeared one after another.
In the Polaris team, there are only three people!
They are Dongyang, Chenxi and Pumpkin.
The remaining three are on the side of the Sun Continent, and there is an old acquaintance among them, that is the "Liu Mang" in the Divine Chosen Team, who regards Polaris as an old enemy, and also takes the path of fate.
The other two are unknown, one is a female player named "Dream Cat", who takes the natural path, and the last one is called "Rotten Man", which is said to be a deep sea way to play.
These seven players who are the strongest in the current version have been nicknamed "4.0 Seven Saints" by players in the game forum, attracting the attention of countless people.
However, Polaris doesn't care.
It's not that he's arrogant, it's that his heart has long since stopped seeing it all as a game, but as a real and important journey...... He wanted to follow the teacher's guidance and gain more power here.
So that in the coming "apocalypse", you can have the capital to protect yourself and protect your relatives and friends.
"—What about the Dinies?"
Polaris looked at the increasingly devastated situation under the city, and asked in the channel with a frown.
However, the players of the "Blue Snake" mercenary group have said that they don't know.
"—how to play missing at such a critical time."
Polaris was a little depressed.
Although there are four high-ranking players in their squad, it can't have much impact on the overall battle situation...... After all, the alliance forces of the six empires also followed a large number of high-level combat forces.
What's more, the Polaris team also shoulders the heavy responsibility of coordinating the overall situation.
"—Danie's combat power is ridiculously high, and without him, our battle is indeed difficult."
Goutou Jin couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking of the "miracles" that Dani has shown again and again over the years, even players like them are shocked...... In particular, after he was promoted to a high position, the actual combat power he possessed was not at the same level as that of a regular saint.
To use the most appropriate description, that is "Jack II".
Even in some ways, even more outrageous than what Jack has done!
They saw with their own eyes that when Dani was promoted to the fourth sage of the sequence, she directly teleported away, and came back two hours later, and soon came the news of the tragic death of His Majesty Schroeder of the Brilliant Empire and the destruction of the Church of the Redemption of the Royal Capital......
It was a core realm with more than one demigod to defend it, but it was left to the slaughter of Daini, a new Sage.
Even if the players think about it, they feel that they are human.
"-Well, I'll have to wait a little longer, until Dinny returns."
Polaris said in the channel.

*
Beyond the borders of the Nine Great Empires, an endless wasteland.
It is an inaccessible and barren plain.
As far as the eye can see, it is almost entirely dead grass and crumbling vegetation, and the ground is covered with yellow-brown mud and sand, and patches of bubbling muddy swamps.
A young girl in a gray dress stepped lightly on the ground, her figure turned into a pale flame, dissipated and then flickered flickering farther away, and in just a few flickers, he came to a village surrounded by black trees.
The village is quite dead and silent, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
However, the girl glanced at it and chuckled.
"Hiding here?"
He took a step, intending to enter straight through the door.
At this time, there was a burst of string music from the village, like the old Nikohpa, and like the Huai Harp, the sound was monotonous but inexplicably harmonious, but the music was quite sad and strange.
At the same time, a chorus of vocals sounded along with the strings.
There are voices of both men and women, young and old, and the leading voice is a man's singing, and the whole song is quite beautiful, at least Dani thinks it is a beautiful song that she has never heard before.
The words in the song, which Dinny didn't understand, were a strange language.
But the emotions contained in it penetrated deep into his heart.
It was a mourning of great sorrow, mixed with reluctance and resentment, and Dinny paused and closed her eyes in listening.
【You are under mysterious influence......】
[You listen to the song played by the "Master of the Curse" in the fourth sequence of the Hustle and Bustle Pathway, and are cursed with "blood clotting", "muscle dissolution", "breathlessness", "paralysis of the mind", "transcendent exhaustion", and "mental confusion"......]
【Mystic Position Judgment ......】
【Mystic Resistance Neutral ......】
[Willpower judgment ......]
[Mystic influence has no effect on you, and you are exempt from all curses!] 】
Although Deni is not affected by the mystery, she is moved by the emotions in the song, as if she is an old man who survived the war and massacre, telling him about the cruelty of death and the memory of her loved ones.
Tears streamed down the corners of Daini's eyes.
"It's worthy of the way of the outer gods...... Influencing things through singing, and bestowing curses? ”
Dani slowly opened her eyes, her eyes indifferent.
He raised his hand, and a pale flame slowly flickered in his palm.
On the panel, the belief attribute has reached more than 700, and the Cangwang Divine Technique can be extremely strong.
"Ember."
Dani folded her fingers together and flicked her fingers.
The pale flame fell to the door of the village ahead.
Bear!!
The flame rises instantly, ignites when touched, and burns when touched.
The fire covered the village, setting stone walls and houses on fire, and at first glance it looked like a distorted pale patch, constantly exuding a rich mythological power and pollution.
This is the power that Dani gained by absorbing the knowledge of the three major pathways of fate, magic, and nature after being promoted to the third sequence of the Holy Fire Path, [Fire Gate], and borrowing from the Cangwang Divine Technique "Boundless".
In a matter of seconds, the fire burned the entire ruined village, leaving behind a scorched earth.
However, at this moment, a figure burst out, moving away from the area opposite to Daini.
Daini's face was expressionless, and a fire burned all over her body.
Immediately a flame flickered.
He came to the man, raised his hand, and grabbed him by the neck.
When I picked it up, it was an old man with dark skin and messy hair, with a gray and dull face, and resentment between his eyebrows.
Especially those eyes, as if hiding endless sadness.
"You guys are quite able to hide, it took me a lot of effort to find such a high-ranking sage as you......"
Dani said lightly.
The old man did not speak, but struggled, and played the tune with a harp hanging from his waist, and kept casting curses to attack the girl in front of him.
The eerie music, like shouts and curses, contains the power of mythical curses.
However, none of this helps.
It was as if Deni was like a black hole, and no matter how vicious the curse was, it could not stir up a ripple if it did not enter it.
"The transcendents of the wasteland civilization are mute and can't speak? I just heard you sing and sing pretty well......"
Dani laughed.
The old man still closed his wrinkled lips and looked at him coldly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't speak, anyway, I have a way to get what I want from you......"
Dani immediately cast the Cangwang Divine Technique, using "mind stealing" to forcibly invade the other party's mind.
The old man finally showed a panicked expression.
But it's too late.
The knowledge of the hustle and bustle pathways in his head, as well as the locations and people of the various tribes of the wasteland civilization, had all been stolen by Daini.
'Sequence 9 [Singer], Sequence 8 [Throat], Sequence 7 [Musician], Sequence 6 [Inspirer], Sequence 5 [Missionary], Sequence 4 [Master of the Damned], and Sequence 3 [Loud Voices]......
Dani smiled in satisfaction.
And on his slender and white arms, a faint fire suddenly rose, engulfing the old man in an instant.
The Celestial Sage let out a scream.
But this scream also contains a tune, like a lamentation.
Listening to the sound of death, Dinny actually showed an expression of enjoyment.
Half a day.
He left behind three copies of the dark purple mysterious substance in his hands, and the old man turned into ashes and scattered.
At this moment, there was a burst of footsteps and applause behind him.
Bang Bang Bang ......
"Your Majesty, we have been searching for years for this priest of the wasteland civilization and have not been able to catch his tail, but you can find it in a few days and kill him easily...... It is worthy of being a strong man that the nine empires are afraid of, and we admire it. ”
A man's voice rang out.
When Dani turned, she saw seven or eight figures in white cloaks approaching, led by a man with pale skin and long white hair.
"You've got ...... again"
Dani said flatly.
"Don't talk about cooperation, the alliance of the six empires, I don't care about it at all."
"What if we agreed to your previous conditions?"
The man said, holding an ancient white marble slab in both hands, engraved with dense mystical patterns and words.
"This is an old calendar tablet from our hometown, the city of 'Victor Solomia' in the sky, which contains the knowledge of the path of the winter bell, from the lower to the higher, and even the ...... of power."
Dani's eyes narrowed.
As early as a year ago, when he had just been promoted to demigod, the people of Sky Island Heaven sent messengers to make secret contact with him.
The other party's intention is very simple, that is, to occupy a place in the original pattern of the outer continent.
And he, the key figure who provoked the war and tore the order, was the goal of their long-observed cooperation.
"Since you are so sincere, then I agreed."
Dani grinned suddenly, and walked along the slate at breakneck speed.
The envoys from Heaven couldn't help but be stunned.
