Chapter 1 A Giant's World

Shi Feng walked out of the Teleportation Hall. The streets outside were very wide, filled with towering NPC giants. Players who came here felt as if they had entered a world of giants.

Every building here was enormous, even the city's horse-drawn carriages were huge. However, these carriages were not pulled by horses, but by herbivorous earth dragons, which were stronger and as big as houses. In addition to the Giant race, other neutral races also lived here, and even Elves, who were very rare in the outside world, could be seen here.

Elves looked very similar to Half-Elf players, but the difference in their life levels was like heaven and earth.

In the distant ancient times, Elves could be said to be messengers of the gods, or even representatives of the gods. They were naturally favored by magical elements and could easily use magic beyond their level. However, as the gods in the Divine Realm fell, the Elf race also gradually declined, and their numbers became increasingly scarce.

Such a scene was shocking for players who came here for the first time, but Shi Feng was already used to it. He casually took an earth dragon carriage and headed to the city center.

As a super-large neutral city, Thunder Axe City was very vast. Even the Black Dragon Empire's capital, Black Dragon City, was only half the size of Thunder Axe City. The Teleportation Hall was located on the edge of Thunder Axe City. Players could not ride mounts or use any teleportation items or skills within the city. They could only rely on earth dragon carriages to move quickly.

Of course, if a player's status in Thunder Axe City reached the level of Viscount, they could ride their own mounts in the city. However, it was too difficult to reach the level of Viscount in a neutral city like Thunder Axe City. Even in his previous life, many players reached level 200 but could not reach the level of Viscount in Thunder Axe City. Therefore, it took a lot of time just to move around the city.

While Shi Feng was heading to the city center, a small commotion suddenly broke out in the Witch's Hill of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

"Did I hear correctly? Zero Wing Guild is actually telling its members to give up leveling in the Witch's Hill!"

"They probably don't want to keep fighting. You didn't see how powerful those monster players in the wild are. Dealing with Tier 2 experts is as easy as playing a game. A player transformed into a monster can easily wipe out a six-person Tier 2 team. Moreover, these monster players move in groups."

"Zero Wing Guild was able to compete with the Miracle Guild in the Black Dragon Empire before, but now it seems that's all it was. How long has it been, and they're already giving up?"

"I really didn't expect Zero Wing Guild to have this day. They used to be invincible, but now they can only give up the treasure land of the Witch's Hill. However, if Zero Wing gives up the Witch's Hill, their development in the Star-Moon Kingdom will probably be much slower than other guilds. If this continues, it's hard to say whether Zero Wing will be the number one guild in the Star-Moon Kingdom in the future."

"That's right! This is a good opportunity for other small guilds to rise by taking advantage of the Witch's Hill."

...

The players in the entire Witch's Hill were surprised by Zero Wing's sudden order. They didn't expect Zero Wing to be so decisive, giving up the Witch's Hill as soon as they said they would. Clearly, with the advantage of Zero Wing City, they could have continued to compete with the monster players of other guilds, but Zero Wing didn't do so.

However, after Zero Wing did this, many small guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom became active from their slumber. They all wanted to join the Starlight Alliance, which was formed by the guilds in the two small towns in the Witch's Hill. After all, the current situation was already very clear. The Starlight Alliance, which could turn players into monsters, had too great an advantage in the wild. As long as Zero Wing's members left the city, they would be dead.

Not long after Shi Feng issued the order, the high-level members of the major guilds of the Starlight Alliance gathered together and started a meeting in Hammerstone Town, not far from the Ten Thousand Tree Forest.

The leading guilds were Sin Domain from the Violet Kingdom and Angel Judgment and Hundred Battles Empire, which built the two small towns. Although Knight Judgment and Hundred Battles Empire were only second-rate guilds, their strength had greatly increased after several consortia invested in them. Now, in terms of strength, the two major guilds were not inferior to ordinary first-rate guilds.

"This time, Zero Wing was scared by our monster army. They're directly staying in Zero Wing City and not even active around it. Everyone knows the defense of Zero Wing City. It's impossible to attack it head-on now, but it's not a good idea to let Zero Wing Guild develop like this. Do you have any good suggestions?" Axe Light, the guild leader of Knight Judgment, asked, glancing at the dozen or so guild representatives present.

Zero Wing's decisiveness actually greatly exceeded their expectations and was not what they wanted to see at all.

In the eyes of outsiders, the monster army was very powerful and could be said to be invincible in the wild. However, everyone didn't know that players needed to consume a lot of life force to maintain their monster form, and they had to be level 50 or higher players who actively sacrificed themselves. It wasn't a good idea to fight Zero Wing for a long time.

"Since Zero Wing wants to give up the Witch's Hill decisively, then we'll find a way to make it impossible for Zero Wing to give up. We'll just have to force them to come out and fight."

"That's right, if Zero Wing doesn't want to fight, then we'll make them want to fight. Zero Wing wants to rely on Zero Wing City to develop, but we won't let them have their way. We can set up a teleportation blockade around Zero Wing City and spread the word that if Zero Wing Guild doesn't come out and fight in the wild, then as long as any player from Zero Wing City comes out in the future, we'll kill them without mercy. We'll kill them until Zero Wing Guild is willing to come out and fight. Even if Zero Wing Guild doesn't come out, as long as we kill all the players in Zero Wing City until they don't dare to come out, then let's see who else will dare to go to Zero Wing City. I don't believe that Zero Wing City will still have people after a long time? How will Zero Wing rely on Zero Wing City to develop then?"

"That's a good idea. Zero Wing Guild's income mainly relies on Zero Wing City. If Zero Wing City doesn't work, Zero Wing Guild won't be able to bear it. Zero Wing will come out and fight us for Zero Wing City."

"That's right! If Zero Wing Guild really doesn't come out, then Zero Wing's reputation as the number one guild in the Star-Moon Kingdom will become a joke. Let's see how they'll survive in the future!"

Everyone present nodded in agreement and decided to implement this plan, forcing Zero Wing Guild to come out.

While the Starlight Alliance was preparing to plan all of this, Shi Feng arrived at the city center of Thunder Axe City on an earth dragon carriage.

The city center was bustling with traffic. Even without players, the wide streets were somewhat crowded. Merchants from various neutral races from various cities were doing business here, and the number of items and materials sold was no less than that of player-run shops.

However, Shi Feng didn't look for too long and went straight into a mansion one street away from the main street. There were twenty giant guards at the entrance of the mansion, all of whom were level 180 Tier 2 guards. The leading guard was a level 180 Tier 3 class. Just standing here made people afraid to approach.

This mansion was where the Great Elder of the Giant race lived.

Arriving at the gate, Shi Feng directly asked the guards to deliver a message. The guards then received the order and led Shi Feng into the huge mansion. Soon, they arrived at an elegant study where an old man in a white robe was sitting.

The Giant race were natural warriors and were not very good at magic, but the Great Elder of the Giants in front of him was a level 200 Tier 5 Saint Magician, a hegemon in any empire.

"It's been a long time since a human adventurer has come here. I heard that you have the power to open the ancient teleportation magic array on the outskirts of Thunder Axe City. I wonder if this is true?" The Great Elder of the Giants examined Shi Feng and asked softly.

"Yes! This is the Ancient Cube I found. It can open the ancient teleportation magic array." Shi Feng immediately took out the Teleportation Cube from his backpack and handed it to the Great Elder of the Giants.

"It really is the teleportation core of the ancient magic array." The Great Elder of the Giants carefully checked it, and his eyes lit up. He said excitedly, "Thank you, human adventurer. This item is indeed something that our Giant race has always wanted to find. With this, our Giant race can finally get rid of the defense blockade set up in ancient times! You have helped our Giant race so much. Our Giant race will not mistreat you. This precious Giant Sacred Stone will be our Giant race's thanks."

After the Great Elder of the Giants finished speaking, Shi Feng took the Giant Sacred Stone, and a series of system notifications sounded in his ear.
