Chapter 1 Aftermath

After receiving the key, Ziyan Liuyun felt a surge of anticipation. She looked forward to returning to the city and unsealing the key as soon as possible, so she could quickly become a vital force within the Zero Wing Guild.

On the surface, the major guilds of White River City seemed to be at peace, but beneath the surface, there was an undercurrent of activity. No one knew what these guilds were planning, especially Dark Star and Heroes of the World. They didn't seem like guilds that would give up after one or two failures.

Zero Wing was currently high-profile, yet these two guilds hadn't taken any action. How could people not be suspicious?

Although Ziyan Liuyun didn't know what these two guilds were planning, she knew that as long as Zero Wing was strong enough, any schemes and tricks would be useless.

"Star Remembrance?" Ziyan Liuyun muttered as she examined the key in her hand.

Star Remembrance, a magic item, a key forged by the ancient and great Star Sage Ryan Rice. It still contained the power of the Star Sage Ryan Rice, but was currently sealed by a mysterious force. It needed to be unsealed before other information could be viewed. The seal required a Tier 3 Grand Magister to break.

Previously, the key was displayed as unknown, but it revealed a part of itself because of Shi Feng's Eye of Omniscience.

Star Sage Ryan Rice was an extremely dazzling figure among the many legendary characters in God's Domain. Because of Ryan Rice's existence, the Star Enchanter was strong. However, with the fall of Ryan Rice, the entire Star Enchanter class was also buried by history. Now, in God's Domain, the Star Enchanter class had almost been forgotten by everyone.

"Now that the mechanical formations have been dispelled, let's go back."

Shi Feng looked around. The magic array had completely stopped running. All that was left to do was to clean up the Bloodhand Syndicate NPCs outside, and then destroy all the NPCs in the Bloodhand Syndicate's main camp in one go, and then the crusade quest would be successful.

Just as Shi Feng and the others were leaving the Bloodhand Syndicate's main camp, a major event was happening in White River City.

Originally, Zero Wing Guild only occupied the positions after 40th place on the White River City level leaderboard. However, in just one or two hours, the positions after 20th place on the level leaderboard were also occupied by Zero Wing. Only a dozen or so people remained before they could occupy the entire level leaderboard.

No guild in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom had ever managed to monopolize the top 100 spots on a city's level leaderboard. They didn't even dare to think about it. After all, there were many experts in each city, and there were always a few leveling maniacs. It was almost impossible for a guild to surpass all the players in a city.

Moreover, White River City wasn't a small city, but the most important city in the eastern part of the Star-Moon Kingdom. It was also the fifth largest city among the hundreds of cities in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom. Countless guilds and experts were gathered here, making it even more difficult to monopolize the level leaderboard.

But now that it was about to be achieved, how could the players in White River City not be excited? However, the most excited were the members of the Zero Wing Guild. At this time, many members of the Zero Wing Guild began to shout, cheering on Aqua Rose and the others who were charging up the leaderboard.

Such a thing as dominating the level leaderboard naturally brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

Dark Star's Only One Tyrant also used all means to watch the Zero Wing crowd chasing closely behind.

More than 600 people were sent from Dark Star to help Only One Tyrant level up, with 20 people per team, divided into more than 30 teams. These teams were distributed in the monster-dense areas closest to Only One Tyrant to farm monsters in groups.

As soon as any team was about to kill all the monsters, they would immediately invite Only One Tyrant to join the team, so that he could share the experience points. After the distribution, Only One Tyrant would leave the team, and then other teams would add him. With more than 30 teams, Only One Tyrant would just join and leave teams, purely gaining experience points. The speed of improvement was self-evident.

However, only a guild leader like Only One Tyrant could afford to spend so much manpower and resources. Others could only envy him. Even a tycoon wouldn't dare to level up in this way.

But this was also the only way Only One Tyrant could. He sent a large number of people to find the group of Zero Wing members who were leveling up, but he couldn't find any trace of them. He couldn't stop them even if he wanted to, so he could only resort to this method.

Only One Tyrant couldn't figure out why the Zero Wing members were improving so fast. He was leveling up in this way, but he wasn't much faster than the Zero Wing members. If it was just a few individuals from Zero Wing, that would be fine, but for such a large group of people to level up so quickly, what kind of method would be needed to do it?

If he really let so many Zero Wing members knock him off the level leaderboard, he, the dignified guild leader of Dark Star, who was famous for his level, would really become the laughingstock of White River City.

Therefore, Only One Tyrant could only come up with such a method.

However, as time went by, Only One Tyrant became more and more frightened, and the people in White River City were also very surprised, because the leveling speed of the Zero Wing members was getting faster and faster.

The positions on the level leaderboard were improving almost every few minutes.

The ranking quickly rose from 20th place to 15th place, and after a while, it rose to 12th place. It was unstoppable, all the way to 10th place, only one place away from Only One Tyrant.

This made Only One Tyrant even more crazy.

"All of you go and attract monsters, the more the better, and the others give me all the magic scrolls." Only One Tyrant's eyes were bloodshot at this time, completely like a gambler who had lost a bet and was preparing to make a final gamble. "Black Flame, you want to kick me off the level leaderboard? Maybe in a hundred years!"

Only One Tyrant used all kinds of AoE magic scrolls at any cost, killing hundreds of monsters that were attracted. Each of these AoE magic scrolls was very precious and was considered a strategic material of the guild, but at this time, it became Only One Tyrant's toy, and he used them casually.

The experience points were certainly increasing rapidly, but compared to the increase in experience points, such behavior was simply throwing money into the water, just to see the splash.

This made the members of the Dark Star Guild feel extremely distressed. These scrolls were slowly accumulated by the guild members bit by bit, but now they were all wasted to help Only One Tyrant level up, but they had no choice. Who made Only One Tyrant the guild leader?

Many people already regretted why they joined Dark Star instead of Zero Wing.

With such a selfish and self-interested guild leader in the Dark Star Guild, what future was there?

On the other hand, Zero Wing's guild leader, Black Flame, would rush to rescue them as soon as he knew that his guild brothers were being bullied. He even charged into the enemy camp alone, leading by example, and even spent huge sums of money to compensate his guild members, which made the members of each guild envious. He would rather suffer himself than let his guild brothers be wronged.

With such a guild leader, what did it matter if they risked their lives?

However, just as Only One Tyrant was frantically using magic scrolls.

The Zero Wing hundred-man team was also killing the remaining level 50 Tier 1 Bloodhand Syndicate elites.

In order to deal with these Bloodhand Syndicate elites, Blackie used Star of Light, Shi Feng used Flame Spirit Storm, and even Shi Feng's guards used all their AoE skills. The battle scene was earth-shattering, and even level 50 Tier 1 NPCs couldn't withstand it.

As these Bloodhand Syndicate elites died one by one, everyone's experience points increased crazily.

Not to mention that the experience of Tier 1 NPCs was more abundant than ordinary NPCs, just the level-crossing experience reward of level 50 was exciting. With the two superimposed, the level of the Zero Wing hundred-man team naturally jumped up.

Dozens of them died in a row, directly raising everyone's level to more than level 21, and instantly monopolized the top 100 spots on the level leaderboard.

At this moment, all the players in the entire White River City were silent.

Because the top 100 spots on the White River City level leaderboard were completely occupied by the Zero Wing Guild.

Seeing this situation, Only One Tyrant was stunned and even forgot to use the magic scrolls in his hand.

At the same time, a system announcement rang throughout the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.
