Chapter 1 The Victory

"We won!"

"We won!"

Mu Xin and the other members of Frost Heaven Sword watched the giant screen, each with an excited expression. Some were excited, some were joyful, and many members even screamed to celebrate this moment of victory.

"This time was really dangerous enough," Shi Feng said, also breathing a slight sigh of relief.

The final score was only 30 points higher than that of Divine Grace. This amount of points was only equivalent to an hour's worth of points from a high-level resource area. If other guilds hadn't given up on the competition and sneak attacks at the end, the victor would likely have been Divine Grace.

It has to be said that the foundation of Divine Grace Guild was more powerful than many super guilds.

"But fortunately, everything went according to plan. Frost Heaven Sword has secured a seat, so whether it's the slots in the upper zone or the privilege of entering the kingdom's cities, we've got them all."

Shi Feng looked at the guild score rankings that began to appear on the screen. Frost Heaven Sword's score was officially ranked sixth, and he couldn't help but start considering the next steps in his plan.

In his previous life, after *God's Domain* underwent a major system upgrade, the structure of *God's Domain* completely changed, because with the addition of third-party NPC forces, the competitors of the major super forces were no longer just player forces, but also many NPC forces.

These NPC forces were not simple.

Before the *God's Domain* system was greatly upgraded, there were not many NPCs in *God's Domain*, but as *God's Domain* was greatly upgraded, the NPCs in *God's Domain* also began to increase madly.

Those force names that originally only appeared in books and NPC conversations would now emerge.

Even in a few days, the major forces would discover a terrifying thing, that is, the so-called vast number of players were only a minority in this *God's Domain* world.

That's right, the current hundreds of billions of players were only a minority in the entire *God's Domain* world.

Any kingdom in *God's Domain* had a population of over two billion. The current hundreds of billions of players could at most be equivalent to five or six kingdoms in terms of population, roughly equivalent to the level of an empire.

However, the players of *God's Domain* were distributed in various kingdoms and empires throughout the *God's Domain* continent, and even in many other plane worlds...

So, the local forces of the major kingdoms and empires were the strongest forces.

Moreover, after this major upgrade, there was also a serious problem, that is, the player protection mechanism was gone.

This player protection mechanism did not have much effect when players usually played *God's Domain*, because the so-called protection mechanism was just that NPCs would not actively target players.

So, most players did not discover the existence and true purpose of this mechanism, but simply regarded it as a matter of course.

But the *God's Domain* world after that would be different. As long as they left the big cities, this protection clause would no longer exist.

What did this mean?

Ordinary players would probably find it hard to imagine, but for the major player guilds that had already grown up, it would be a disaster.

Because those NPCs could actively attack players, such as robbery on the road, sneak attacks while fighting monsters, and direct killing if they were unhappy. This kind of thing could be said to be normal.

In his previous life, he had been robbed by those Tier 4 NPCs quite a few times...

Of course, those powerful NPCs did not rob everyone they saw, but only targeted some very valuable items. Ordinary items were difficult to arouse the interest of those powerful NPCs.

Now this rule was quite unfavorable to him, because he had too many thorny and valuable items in his hands. In the past, with the protection of rules, he didn't have to worry about those NPCs targeting him in the outside world. Now that the rules had changed, he had to act cautiously.

But these were not the most important things.

After the big upgrade, the management of guild towns was the most fatal.

Because of the intervention of NPC forces, there was nothing at the beginning of the big upgrade, but after those local NPC forces conducted a thorough investigation, they would begin to attack the player's guild towns.

If the guild towns did not have enough powerful combat power to defend them, it would be normal for the entire guild town to be taken away.

This was also one of the reasons why the major super forces disbanded in *God's Domain* in his previous life.

The current situation was even more serious. When the big upgrade happened, at least the major super forces had Tier 4 classes to defend the guild towns, but now, let alone Tier 4 classes, even the Tier 3 class experts of the major super forces were not many. It was simply a nightmare to want to defend the existing guild towns.

The great collapse of forces after that could be foreseen, and it would definitely be more tragic than in his previous life.

"After we get the guild privileges, we can apply for guild town teleportation permission to the NPC cities we enter. Then, it will no longer be a dream for Zero Wing to become a giant in *God's Domain* in one fell swoop in the great talent war." Shi Feng thought of the upcoming talent war, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

In his previous life, some first-rate guilds were able to emerge in one fell swoop and eventually grow into super guilds because they took advantage of the tailwind of the big upgrade.

In the early stage of the *God's Domain* server, the major super forces had too many advantages. After the players reached level 100, the vast number of players had been divided up by the major forces. Even if some guilds with strong strength later emerged, it was difficult for them to rise.

Because after the players reached level 100, especially after the players reached Tier 3, the number of players was essential for the guild to expand and grow, especially Tier 3 class players, who were the basic combat power to maintain the safety of the towns. Otherwise, they would not be able to stop the NPC forces and monster armies at all.

And the strength of a player guild, in addition to the prosperity of the guild town, the number of guild towns was also very important. This was also why the War God's Temple would stipulate the number of guild towns in the seat competition.

Guilds had to have a large number of people to maintain these towns.

Now the number of Zero Wing's guild members was indeed not small, more than the number of members of many first-rate guilds, but it was far from comparable to those super forces.

After the great collapse, the members of the former major forces would become free players. As long as Zero Wing got on this bandwagon, it would not be impossible to grow into a real super force in one fell swoop.

As long as Zero Wing had a sufficient player base, it would have enough confidence and foundation to face Star Ring, Holy Heart Hand, and even the five super guilds. It would not be as passive as it was now, only guarding a few towns, and it would only be a matter of time before it was destroyed.

After all, what the major super forces were really good at was the geniuses they cultivated. These geniuses would slowly grow into strong men and giants because of the resources of the major super forces. If Zero Wing did not prepare early, it should be grateful if it could protect itself with its current guild size and number of talents.

On the field, as the guild score rankings were officially determined, the players and major forces on the entire field were in an uproar.

"Damn! Frost Heaven Sword actually got a seat!"

"This Frost Heaven Sword is really lucky to find a dark horse like Zero Wing. Frost Heaven Sword is really going to be prosperous now."

"Zero Wing?"

The players and major forces present were both surprised and not very surprised that Frost Heaven Sword had won the seat. After all, the Tier 4 combat power displayed by Zero Wing was too terrifying, and Tier 3 classes simply could not compete with it.

Compared to Frost Heaven Sword's victory this time, Zero Wing was attracting more attention from the major forces.

"Hmph! Frost Heaven Sword is lucky." Han Guang Shi Ying looked at the ranking, glanced at Shi Feng in the information, and sneered, "But Zero Wing won't be so lucky in the future!"

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

Not to mention the Zero Wing that was so conspicuous now.

In the competition, the major super forces, especially the five super guilds, could only bring out too little of their foundation. They were just competing in the number of Tier 3 classes, but there were no such restrictions outside.

The Tier 4 class displayed by Zero Wing this time was something that all the major forces were extremely envious of.

Zero Wing was just a quasi-super force, but it could have two people promoted to Tier 4 class. No one would believe that there was no secret in it.

It could be foreseen that after this, both ordinary forces and super forces would frantically deal with Zero Wing until Zero Wing was willing to hand over the secret of promotion to Tier 4 class. Otherwise, the only thing waiting for Zero Wing would be death.

However, Shi Feng was not aware that the major super forces had already begun to target Zero Wing.

Only after the War God's Temple announced the six reserve seats to the public and gave the Zero Wing Guild a formal guild recognition certificate from the War God's Temple, Shi Feng directly disbanded the team, said goodbye to Mu Xin, and left the Fire Dragon Empire quietly without attending the Frost Heaven Sword's celebration banquet.

This made Yu Long Qi Jue and Hong Xin Yuan sigh for a while, because they did not have the opportunity to thank him properly.

"This Hei Yan is really unpredictable." Yu Long Qi Jue looked at Shi Feng's disappearing back, couldn't help but glanced at Mu Xin, and said seriously, "Mu Xin, from today onwards, you will be the first vice president. The upper zone quota and S-grade nutrient solution, as well as the subsequent alliance with Zero Wing, will all be your responsibility. I believe you will do a good job."

"President, please rest assured." Mu Xin's eyes lit up, and her heart was full of excitement. "I will definitely do this well."

After Shi Feng left, Shi Feng did not rush back to Zero Wing's驻地to preside over the upcoming major change.

Instead, he came to the Twin Tower Kingdom, a dilapidated country that was already devastated and not far from destruction, and also one of the most glorious kingdoms in the future.

Twin Tower City, City Hall.

"Sir, may I ask what brings you here?" A 180-level Tier 3 male steward looked at Shi Feng who walked in and said, "If you want to buy land here, then I can only say sorry, because we are no longer open to land sales."

"No, I'm not here to buy land." Shi Feng shook his head, and then took out a guild certification order from the War God's Temple, "I am the president of the Zero Wing Guild, and our guild wants to officially enter this city, is that possible?"
