It also made the three State Mansions much livelier.
Over three days, the three State Mansions gathered a large number of players, as many as four to five thousand, likely the largest scene since the game’s launch.
And the three major guilds have all assembled as well.
As for Wentian Wuji’s statements, the three guild leaders didn’t dare to completely believe them.
But they somewhat acknowledged the existence of Ascension Items. After all, if it’s real, and they really can get their hands on it, that would be amazing.
Of course, they wouldn’t naively think everyone would sit down and share the spoils. In the end, it’s about strength.
Fortunately, in an allied camp situation, attacking teammates would make one the target of public criticism. Under such mutual scruples, a basic cooperative relationship can be maintained.
Especially for Long Xingtianxia, his original plan had a similar purpose. He just didn’t realize at the time that it was the so-called ’Ascension Items’; he initially intended to acquire the title of Nine Provinces Human King to gain the [Heavenly Mandate]. Now that there’s something better, he can’t pass up the opportunity.
The entire Dragon Soaring Country is moving out in full force, ready to join the battle.
"Guild Leader, do we really have to go all out? Fully join the battle? Such a massive battle, many people are likely to die."
Long Xingtianxia said firmly, "Sacrifice is inevitable. For our great cause, how many brothers have we lost in the past? Are we to abandon them, even for those who have died, this time we must participate in the battle.
Long Wushang is a Dragon Queen Descendant. If my guess is correct, he might very likely drop a key item, something like an Imperial Jade Seal. As long as we can get it, our goal of uniting the Nine States will be within reach."
Longteng Sihai was a bit speechless—very likely? Again with the very likely. The guild leader is being somewhat presumptive.
In the past, the guild leader wouldn’t go all-in under such uncertainty.
Hong Fu Qitian suddenly said, "Guild Leader, do you know something we don’t?"
This young man with a weathered face had an aura of being an elder among a group of middle-aged and young people.
Perhaps playing games too much, Hong Fu Qitian now has a mindset and verbal demeanor that gives off the impression of being calculating, and his slightly clouded insightful eyes seem sharp enough to see through human hearts.
With just one sentence, Long Xingtianxia felt a pang of surprise.
"Ahem, I’m just making some guesses. Besides, Long Wushang is indeed aiming to unify the world. As the first guilds to establish a nation, it’s something we can’t avoid unless we give up competing for world domination.
Since that’s the case, we might as well meet the challenge head-on."
These words had some persuasive power.
Time quickly reached nine o’clock. At this moment, the three major State Mansion cities were already crowded with troops gathering, and players forming groups.
Wentian Wuji, as the strategist and executor of this action, appeared on the central seven-star Magic Altar of the Qiankun Shift Array.
To operate such an array, his strength alone was not enough. Not only was there the altar amplifying mana, but there were seven True Level Taoists around the altar assisting in casting.
Wentian Wuji glanced at the sea of people below the altar, feeling inexplicably stirred. Such a grand spectacle inevitably evoked a feeling of awe.
Yet he did not forget his true objective.
He declared boldly, "All troops enter the array, prepare for action!
With a single command, this epic battle officially commenced!
