“From the very start, there was never a chance, otherwise, I would have put in more effort.”
“Also, prepare to evacuate to the Horror Universe at any moment. Ensure all Spirit Monsters are ready, with no mistakes.” Qin Muye added.
“No one else has left either, probably to scavenge for events and resources.” Qin Muye didn’t think the other Lords still wanted to save the world, they were more likely packing up their valuables in preparation to leave.
“Yes, master, everything will be arranged properly,” Black Hand replied with a solemn expression. He too knew that the Magic Continent was beyond saving, and that the looting operation would need to be suspended. The focus now was on devising a better evacuation strategy.
“Hiss—aren’t these tendrils from the Monster Mother?” Qin Muye, observing the data sent by Black Hand through the Magic Network, noticed something enormous undulating beneath the soil. Every now and then, pale grey tendrils could be seen rising from the ground, forming enormous ravines before disappearing again.
“I plan to conscript all the Spirit Monsters scattered outside back here. Black Hand, arrange for their inspection,” Qin Muye said.
“This is only at 80%. What if it reaches 90%? Wouldn’t the Monster Mother’s body be fully restored?”
“The Monster Mother’s body is beginning to regain activity,” Qin Muye thought.
“Master, there seems to be an issue with the ground,” Black Hand hurried over with a grave voice.
“Ever since the Erosion Level reached 50%, it seems it’s impossible to completely eliminate the influence of the Monster Mother, which grows stronger by the day,” Qin Muye said, rather helplessly.
The Centaur God, the Cave Dweller God, and a host of other Divines were all plundered. Those who didn’t resist were beaten half to death but left alive, while those who did resist had themselves and their Divine Countries completely destroyed.
Furthermore, from Qin Muye’s observations, the higher the Rank, the less likely one could overpower those of higher Ranks. For example, Qin Muye at Rank 4 could take on Rank 6, but the True Dragon Emperor at Rank 6 probably couldn’t overpower Rank 8, although taking down Rank 7 would likely pose no problem.
However, he didn’t dwell on the thought too much. If he could plunder, naturally other Lords could too. It couldn’t be that only he had the power to take action, that would be too self-centered.
Excluding the possibility of someone like Long Aotian, who might consistently maintain such capability. After all, Qin Muye had not truly witnessed it himself; most of it was conjecture based on his own data.
Apart from this, the corresponding races also suffered a great blow. The Royal Capitals where the races resided were leveled, and a massive number of their powerful members died.
Based on the data and analysis at hand, it seemed that not even all six Lords combined could match this Monster Mother, not even at Rank 7.
But the problem was that all those who came to present themselves were weaklings. Forget about Gold Treasure Chests, there were hardly any Silver Treasure Chests, most were just Bronze Treasure Boxes without even a ‘Hero’ suffix.
There are also differences within the same Rank; take Qin Muye, for instance. If he were at Rank 6, he would be roughly equivalent to another True Dragon Emperor, extremely powerful.
Otherwise, without the Elf God sample, it would take Qin Muye much more time and effort to perfect it later on, which was unacceptable to him.
Had he known about it earlier, it would be fine, but finding out only after the issue had arisen, the hole had become as big as the sky.
There were also quite a few native inhabitants who thought Qin Muye was a soft Tier 4 “persimmon” ripe for squeezing. Qin Muye warmly welcomed them, for after all, who wouldn’t like others coming to deliver Points and Treasure Boxes?
It was just a server, and now it was battered and bruised. Even if they managed to beat the Ancient God back to Death, it would also make the world their enemy, and more importantly, a large amount of Resources had changed due to the influence of Ancient God’s Power.
The Different Plane Floating City taught the native inhabitants with overwhelming firepower what it meant to be tough. They did not dare to provoke the True Dragon Emperor because of his great strength, and now they did not dare to provoke Qin Muye either, which naturally was because he had enough power now.
Therefore, the malice towards Lords and Divine Beings was undeniable, but awkwardly, the power of these native forces was just too weak, completely incapable of defeating any Lord.
Hence, the top priority now was to thoroughly research the Elf God. The Elf God and his Divine Country were closely related. The Divine Country was now barely holding on due to the high concentration of Ancient God’s Power, and if it collapsed, the Elf God and his followers would all perish along with it.
This Magic Continent Server served as a place to farm Points, and everything he could farm was a profit. After the event ended and he claimed 10 pieces of Advanced Treasure of his choice, he could go to the Horror Universe to develop interstellar realms.
This caused Qin Muye to miss out, only looting the Treasure Vaults of the racial gods. Moreover, this trade was becoming more and more difficult, because other Lords were also starting to take action—swift, precise, and ruthless, not leaving even a feather for Qin Muye, which made him somewhat helpless for a time.
These Spirit Monsters relied on Mimicry to infiltrate various races and native forces to gather various kinds of intelligence.
These were tasks done by Qin Muye’s Spirit Monsters. The other Lords were slightly less brutal when they acted, wanting only Resources, unlike Qin Muye, who caused mass slaughter because he aimed to kill the Ancient God’s Descendants.
This entire world belonged to the Ancient Gods, and it was unlikely that Qin Muye and his foreign group would win.
If he really wanted to fix things, it wasn’t impossible; he could go seek powerful assistance from fairy tale stories, but after calculating, Qin Muye found it to be not worth it.
If it were not for the group of Lords, probably only the unfortunate Divine Beings would oppose the Ancient God Revival, because looking at the current situation, the revival of the Ancient Gods seemed to be what most desired—the upper echelons were the Descendants of Ancient Gods, the middle echelons were the Ancient God’s Minions, and the lower echelons were the followers of the Ancient Gods.
But this whole mess had already brought the Erosion Level to 79%, a rapid progression that was unstoppable.
As for the limited-time activity after the Ancient God Revival, Qin Muye did not really want to participate. Since it was called a limited-time activity, it could well be a survival mission.
Ever since he learned about the affairs related to the Ancient Gods, Qin Muye completely discarded his initial thought of saving the world.
As a mature force, having a complete Intelligence System was essential, but under the current circumstances, intelligence wasn’t of much use. They needed to quickly conscript these Spirit Monsters back, lest there be losses later.
