Anonymous 07: "Has the Destiny Fluctuation Index stabilized?"
Anonymous 11: "It’s currently hovering between one and ten, most of the time around zero... It can be considered completely stable now."
Hawk Eye III: "That’s great. Now that the BOSS has fallen, how are the fragments divided? Let’s make it clear first, I’m particularly interested in ’Destiny,’ Memory,’ and ’War.’
Overlord Arkur: "Everyone relies on their own ability, don’t think about using your status to pressure others... These days, who’s afraid of whom, I’ve long wanted to test your Meteors Strategy."
When the meteors fall, when the Gods return to the Mortal World, and when the World’s Will falls into slumber, the original ’Order’ naturally ceases to exist.
Most of the human Quasi-Gods were expelled, but with the arrival of time, they were quickly drawn back into this world... Unlike previously when only some of the high-tier combat power arrived, this time not only did the majority of the high level combat power from Linnu Force arrive, but also quite a few from the ’brother forces.’
Of course, they aren’t here "for the sake of the big family of Lin Nu’s Church"... They are simply here for themselves.
Therefore, in order to avoid chaos and unnecessary conflicts, a channel for communication is needed.
The information network built by Lord Xiuyi of the "great crowd" is quite simple and crude. In a time when most networks are cut off, she dispatched ’Familiars’ to find most of the eighth-tier and Quasi-Gods, offering them a "message board" for communication.
At this moment, in the cities deep under the sea, on the floaters above the ocean, and within the floating cities in the air, one Big Shot after another watched the characters scrolling on the backs of the Familiars, exchanging information with each other.
And the message board not only facilitated their interaction, thereby avoiding pointless clashes among their forces (they would still fight if there were conflicts of interest), but also served as a warning.
Xiuyi: Arkur, consider this a warning. Don’t provoke strife among your peers.
As a manager, if Lord Xiuyi is able to send Familiar Clones to find these Big Shots, it won’t be too difficult for her true self to come looking as well.
Most of the Big Shots have no chance of winning against this veteran, anyway.
If she were truly offended, even if one was not killed in retaliation and managed to escape, there would be no hope for them in this feast.
Shortly after her warning, Arkur, who had just arrived in this world, also added a comment.
Overlord Arkur: I apologize, I just hope that the trade can be a little fairer. After all, not only have the old-timers like us arrived, but also the middle and high tiers, along with the young elite. If it really turns into bullying or oppressive dominance, the atmosphere will be spoiled for everyone in the future... You wouldn’t want your juniors to follow in your footsteps, endlessly squabbling over trivial gains and dragging you into their fights if they can’t win, right?
Arkur spoke earnestly, which in a way was subtly conceding, but he was right... After all, they had more time to spend together in the future, so it was best not to burn bridges.
With his statement, the subsequent communication became much "more amicable."
As Arkur mentioned, the "dishes" at this feast were indeed too valuable, and everyone qualified to be seated, or even those likely to pick up leftovers at the door, had arrived. If the situation really turned into unregulated chaos or lifelong grudges were formed, everyone still needing to make a living on Earth would suffer.
Naturally, a Consensus emerged, and considering the future, the posts on the message board became much more cordial.
Anonymous 07: I have a ’War’ fragment, and I’m looking for ’Reproduction,’ ’Flame,’ and ’Depravation’ fragments. If anyone has them, I’m willing to trade one for one, and Lord Xiuyi would probably be willing to mediate.
This was a lucky individual who had already found a fragment, but since the fragment was not usable by him, he was not that lucky.
Anonymous 22: I have a ’Volcano,’ but I don’t need ’War.’ If there’s any ’Dragon,’ ’Lizard’ type of life form, Evolution fragments, I’m willing to trade. Oh, ’Wisdom’ works too, it’s a universal plugin for the Beast Taming series.
Anonymous 9: I guess you won’t be able to trade it, they are not equivalent at all. We’re mostly from the Life system, who would want a volcano...
Anonymous 22: Uh, are you trying to drive down the price? It looks like you have it, I’m willing to throw in a little extra...
Every High-Tier Professional has their own Path and reasoning. Most fragments, even when obtained, cannot be absorbed if they don’t meet one’s needs.
Trading ’treasures’ or exchanging relevant information is the greatest value of this message board.
At this moment, in a field of volcanoes, a Big Shot holding the half-corpse of a Long Hand Clan member frowned deeply.
He inserted his finger into the brain of this Mortal, trying to find the reason for the peculiar state before, but apart from a mush, he could find nothing.
After hesitating for a moment, he still made up his mind and wrote on his owl message board:
Anonymous 15: Personified Wills seem to have descended. Eliminate them immediately upon discovery, and do not let them awaken the entire world, or else... we may have no choice but to retreat.
And his message was instantly met with a flood of replies.
Anonymous22: No way, it still has self-consciousness? Did Elder Liu’s sacrifice not succeed?
Lord Liu: My clone has completely merged with nature, and has also integrated with the origin of this world... But if the part that It tore off successfully returns, it could be possible to awaken it.
Overlord Arkur: Elder Liu has sacrificed a lot... Let’s prioritize getting rid of these nuisances so we can bring the treasure home.
Anonymous05: Heh, I’m afraid some people don’t plan on leaving....
As the conversation continued, some started talking in veiled terms and stirring up conflicts to divert the topic.
But most people’s attention was still on that so-called "personified will".
What Number 7 and Number 11 mentioned before about "the stability of fate" means that the backstabbing has been successful, the personality consciousness of our world has indeed fallen into a deep sleep, no longer interfering with the fate of the Mortal World as often and as actively as before.
However, from the current feedback, it seems that while the human side’s backstabbing was successful, it did not win completely... Parts of that personality will, along with those stars, have descended to the Mortal World.
They are like survivors who, in an act of self-amputation to rid themselves of poison (to survive), severed their connection with the world to preserve their self-consciousness.
Though they severed their ties with the world, once They return, They could naturally awaken the world, and by then...
Xiuyi: Everyone, put aside the squabbles and fighting for now, let’s prioritize getting rid of those ’descended wills’.
Overlord Arkur: I second that.
Anonymous02: I second that.
Lord Liu: Agreed.
When the Big Shots set the tone, which also aligned with everyone’s interests, a unanimous agreement was naturally achieved.
However, what they had to face was not just a counterattack from the world’s will.
Anonymous01: The pressure at the frontline is increasing, two Quasi-God level Divine Envoys have arrived from the Octopus side, who can come and lend me a hand... if I collapse, you all won’t be able to withstand it either.
I Am Not a Dragon: Hey, hey, hey, I’m in more dire need of help here, those Volcano Giants are really annoying...
The world is not just for humans, when the links between time and space reopen, the influx of Exotic Realm Invaders also becomes a big headache.
And now, when this place has become Unowned Land, naturally, it’s time for some who expected to possess it long-term to stand up to the external enemies... but clearly, most people’s attention has been drawn to the "fragments".
Anonymous03: Lord Xiuyi, the Fragment of Wisdom I sensed has suddenly decreased by one... Has someone already successfully absorbed it?
The sudden remark shocked everyone.
Though there seemed to be a multitude of meteor-like fragments, even Quasi-Gods find it not so easy to merge with a fragment, let alone to come across one that "fits their needs".
Xiuyi: Yes... but as to who it is, I won’t say.
Now that there’s a lucky one? Immediately, there was another round of discussion and speculation about the fortunate one.
Since Lord Xiuyi doesn’t want to say, it must be one of us. As a result, a few of those who followed the Scholar Path and were "one of us" came under close suspicion.
Even as they were pressured to speak out one by one, no one believed them still...
Old Book Snake: It really wasn’t me, maybe it’s not among us.
Anonymous03: Cut it out, anything below a Quasi-God can’t even think about absorbing such a thing, even just holding on to it for a long time is courting death...
But in fact, there really was a "low-level" professional who had successfully absorbed one.
