"Boss Yin, have you ever wondered … why the City Creation Stone reward was set to be an NPC raid?"
The Stars Bookmen brought Boss Yin to an unknown corridor in the God's Conference. As they walked deeper into the corridor, the Stars Bookmen suddenly spoke up.
The main reason was that the space in the corridor was too narrow and long to the point of suffocation. The Stars couldn't stop talking about the background story of the Holy Spirit.
"Why?"
Boss Yin kept an eye on the Holy Spirit Catfight Group as he walked deeper into the corridor. Air Bubble was already frantically tagging Boss Yin … The content of his tagging included …
"F * ck you!
You're from the Plane Pirate Faction, why are you trying to recruit people from our God's Alliance? "
"F * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck!
So what if you're rich?
Silver Ash!
Come out!
Hurry up and come out!
F * ck!
What did the Goddess of Harvest mean when she said she had an appointment with a silver-haired Holy Spirit?
You're that silver-haired Holy Spirit, right?
Come out and explain!
Silver Ash. "
There was an angry emoticon slamming the table with its slipper under the string of @ s.
Air Bubble was already in a frenzy in the Catfight Group. He definitely had to get first place in this NPC raid event.
Although Air Bubble didn't place as much importance on the City Creation Stone as Boss Yin, he had no reason not to aim for first place in this competition of guild strength.
In the end, when Air Bubble ordered his guild members to contact the Gods of the God's Alliance, there were already three Gods that Air Bubble liked who said, "Sorry, I already have a new person."
It had only been three hours since the event started!
Boss Yin didn't say anything. If he did, he would really be digging his own grave. Apart from Cola Fanatic, the other guilds maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards this event. If Boss Yin really admitted it, the other guilds would probably put in more effort to fight for it.
"Boss Yin, do you still remember what the Holy Spirit's main quest is?" The Stars Bookmen continued to explain the Holy Spirit's background story to themselves.
"I don't remember."
Mr. Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard Fan Xing's question. He really could not remember the backstory of the Holy Spirit. He only knew that this game might not be as simple as it seemed, and his current enemies were the Spell Stealer on the Blacktide Island, as well as the Annihilation Army that was watching from the sidelines.
Once the Annihilation Army and the Law Stealers wreaked havoc in the Inner World, bad things would happen!
It was a very bad thing!
This was the reason why Boss Yin was fully invested in the development of the Holy Ghost Guild. However, Boss Yin really didn't care much about the Holy Ghost's background story.
"Uh, the Holy Spirit is actually telling a story about repairing the world."
The Stars Bookmen looked at Mr. Yin's expression and did not continue the long lecture. "The world of the Holy Spirit that we are in is a destroyed world. Our main task is to find the fragments of Goddess Hai Lan's divinity in various worlds and give them to Freya to repair the destroyed world."
"I see."
When Mr. Yin answered, the Stars Bookmen stole a glance at him. Mr. Yin hurriedly said, "I'm really listening carefully. Go on."
"Ahem, anyway, the Shard of Divinity is the key driving point of the plot. The first Shard of Divinity is obtained by Queen Mey in the Battle of Divinity. After winning the first Battle of Divinity, the upper limit of our players increased from Level 50 to Level 55."
The Stars Bookmen said, "Therefore, the brothers on the forum speculated that the Holy Spirit's upper limit is not based on the game version and planning updates, but the speed at which the players obtain the Shard of Divinity."
"Take the background story of the Blacktide Island battle for example. The final boss of the Blacktide Island also has a Shard of Divinity. If we kill the final boss, the upper limit will increase from Level 55 to Level 60," the Stars Bookmen said.
"The setting of the Holy Spirit to increase the player's upper limit … is quite unique." Although Mr. Yin said so, he was more and more certain of some of his ideas.
Increasing the player's upper limit based on the speed at which the players cleared the dungeon was something that none of the online games in the world dared to do!
This was because the increase of the player's upper limit meant that the current equipment would become useless to the players, and they would have to work on it again. This would greatly increase the burden on the players, and it would also greatly reduce the lifespan of the game.
However, Mr. Yin believed that the Holy Spirit would come up with a solution to increase the level of equipment in the future, and the increase of the level limit was something that the Holy Spirit players urgently needed at the current stage.
Most of the Spell Stealers on the Blacktide Island had reached Level 60 or even Level 65. The Higher Celestials of the Pantheon Alliance were even above Level 80. The results of Detection were all question marks!
If this continued, the players' combat power might not be able to keep up with the game version.
"Let's get back to the topic. About this City Creation Stone, Mr. Yin, don't you think it looks like a Shard of Divinity?"
The Stars Bookmen took a screenshot of the City Creation Stone on the event interface and showed it to Mr. Yin.
"It looks like it. This one is glowing grey."
With Fan Xing's reminder, Mr. Yin also realized something. He had obtained the Shard of Divinity during the first Battle of Divinity. It looked like a rhombus-shaped crystal.
The one given by Queen Mey was glowing with a faint blue light, but this City Creation Stone's light was very dim.
"The description of the City Creation Stone also says that it is an item that has lost its divine power. Everything will return to its original state, so I guess this City Creation Stone should be … a Shard of Divinity that has lost its power."
As a historian of the Holy Spirit's backstory, Stars Bookmen might have a better understanding of the Holy Spirit's background than Jiang Qiao, who was not in the Creator Mode, or … some of the past stories of the God Eater God, including the country that Queen Mey ruled in the past.
"So … what does this have to do with farming these Gods' favorability?"
Boss Yin had already stopped. Right now, he was trying to gain favour with these Gods for the City Creation Stone, but the Starry Sky Guild seemed to know … a deeper reason.
"Reforging the world."
Fan Xing said something that only a God could do, but he did not know which God was involved. "The Battle of Divinity is the world within the Shard of Divinity, but Queen Mey's King's City is still very desolate, and the residents are all zombies. It can't be called … a city that can be lived in."
"Continue," Mr. Yin said.
If it was Mo Shigui, he would definitely be annoyed and say, "What's the point of a game's Instance Dungeon needing these NPCs to live in?"
However, Mr. Yin knew that the NPCs in Brandt Island needed to eat, drink, and sleep. In this aspect, they were no different from real people.
"As such, I'm guessing that if Boss Yin really obtained this City Creation Stone, it wouldn't be like a Stronghold, where you would set up a territory to create a city. This City Creation Stone would most likely have preset buildings, residents, and a complete city. However, within this city, fire wouldn't be able to burn, and water wouldn't be able to flow. Time would have stopped, and life would be in an endless cycle.
At this moment, Stars Bookmen was addicted to being a charlatan. After saying all this, he cleared his throat again.
"This is what I saw in a book called 'End of the Century' in Queen Mey's Library. In short, it's a small world without any rules," Fan Xing said.
"Then I think I understand the true goal of this event." Mr. Yin had already stopped in his tracks because he was already standing at the entrance of the God's Conference.
"Repairing the City Creation Stone … So, the Gods that Mr. Yin is fighting must be able to … light fire, inject rivers, and turn time … Do you want me to share this book called 'Founding Era' with you?" Fan Xing took out another book that he had obtained from Queen Mey's Library.
"No need, I've already thought of the candidates. All that's left is to trick them."
As Mr. Yin spoke, he had already pushed open the dusty door.
