Chapter 1 After a Fantastic, Truly Heaven-Defying Possibility

After indulging in a fantastic, truly heaven-defying possibility, the attributes of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in its various forms seemed rather ordinary. After all, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was only a level 50 weapon. A player who had seen level 70 equipment wouldn't be scared off by this. However, the true value of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella wasn't limited to its powerful attributes, but more importantly, its transformations. Chen Guo understood this very well.

"Alright, let's hurry up and level up now!" Ye Xiu said.

Lord Grim was currently level 54. As long as he reached level 55, he could start running dungeons. The God Domain had countless level 55 dungeons, and the experience was even richer than in the normal server. As soon as he hit level 55 and started dungeon leveling, his leveling speed would definitely be like a rocket.

"Yeah, yeah, level up quickly!" Chen Guo said, also running off to manage the Happy Guild in the tenth server.

Ye Xiu's Lord Grim replenished his supplies in the city and was about to leave for the leveling area when a flurry of messages arrived, one after another, clearly urging him on. He opened them up and saw that they were from Wei Chen's Windward Formation, whom he had just added as a friend a couple of days ago.

"Where are you?"

"What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and come!"

"Get here quick!"

"Talk!"

Wei Chen burned his little universe for a moment, and the messages came like a torrential downpour. Ye Xiu read them one by one, calmly asking, "What's up?"

"Poison Fang Swamp, coordinates 27586, 45866, hurry up and come!" Wei Chen immediately replied.

"Level 65 leveling area? What am I doing here? I don't have any experience," Ye Xiu said.

"Stop pretending, hurry up," Wei Chen shouted.

Ye Xiu was helpless. Lord Grim first teleported to the nearest main city to Poison Fang Swamp. As soon as he came out of the teleportation array, he saw a team of Herb Garden players rushing past. Ye Xiu quickly had Lord Grim shrink to the side. In the God Domain, whether a main city was a safe zone depended on whether the character had reputation in that main city. Lord Grim came to the God Domain at level 50. He couldn't do quests, and killing monsters was always above his level. Don't even mention the main cities in the level 65 areas. He didn't even have any reputation in the main cities in the level 55 areas! Reputation needed to be earned by doing quests, but Lord Grim's level was too low. Where would he get quests?

So, for Lord Grim, the God Domain at this time could be said to have no safe zone at all. Suddenly seeing people from the club guilds, no matter which one, Ye Xiu didn't dare to be careless.

This team from Herb Garden was clearly in a hurry to get on the road and didn't pay much attention to the side. They ran straight towards the city gate as soon as they left the teleportation array. Ye Xiu also knew that the teleportation array was too dangerous, so he quickly had Lord Grim move far away. The direction he was going was actually the same as the Herb Garden team, but he took a different route.

Seeing these club guild people in such a hurry, Ye Xiu was even more certain of Wei Chen's intention in calling him here. There was no doubt that the wild boss in Poison Fang Swamp had spawned. And Wei Chen's Death's Hand was now level 60. To upgrade it further, he needed level 65 materials, which seemed to be in the Poison Fang Swamp.

Ye Xiu's memory of the God Domain wasn't as vague as it was for the normal server. Even after becoming a professional player and occasionally playing online games, it was always in the God Domain. Moreover, when he first became a professional player, the level cap was far from level 70. During his years as a professional player, whenever Glory raised the level cap, these professional characters would also have to level up and improve themselves.

Poison Fang Swamp, the wild boss Swamp Hunter Leip, was a combination of assassin and thief classes, appearing and disappearing unpredictably in the Poison Fang Swamp area.

Of course, appearing and disappearing unpredictably was a description given by the system's character settings. For players, wild bosses were all unpredictable because their spawn times were too random. However, as soon as they spawned, they were usually quickly discovered. The moment Old Wei gave the signal, the Herb Garden people arrived, didn't they?

Moreover, Herb Garden wasn't the only one. On the way, Ye Xiu and Lord Grim had already counted four guilds: Herb Garden, Misty Rain Pavilion, Tyrannical Ambition, and Samsara. All were major guilds under the clubs.

He really had to hurry! Old Wei, he didn't know what means he used to snatch the opportunity before these big guilds. It was really rare. It seemed that this guy had put a lot of effort into this Swamp Hunter Leip.

Ye Xiu thought to himself, not daring to be negligent. Without being noticed by these guilds, he rushed to the coordinates pointed out by Wei Chen as quickly as possible. He thought that this place would definitely be a scene of flashing swords and flying spells, fighting with Swamp Hunter Leip, determined to take down this boss before the big guilds arrived. But when he arrived at the coordinates "27586, 45866," Ye Xiu only felt the silence of Poison Fang Swamp, step by step dangerous.

As he was walking and preparing to send a message to Wei Chen to ask about the situation, in a small puddle beside him, the muddy water suddenly turned over, and a poisonous insect covered in mud jumped into the air and stung Lord Grim.

With Ye Xiu's reaction speed, he didn't even close the private chat window and immediately launched an attack. A silver light streaked out, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into a sword. Lord Grim used a Draw Sword Technique, slashing the poisonous insect from the air.

The poisonous insect didn't hesitate at all when it landed. It flapped its wings and flew over again. These poisonous flies in Poison Fang Swamp were definitely among the most unpopular monsters in Glory. They were small, fast, and often lurked in the swamp, making them troublesome for any class to kill. Poison Fang Swamp had therefore become an unpopular leveling area.

But in front of a great god like Ye Xiu, could a small monster still cause trouble? The poisonous fly landed and got up quickly, but Lord Grim's sword light was even faster. Ye Xiu didn't even bother to use the power of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's form change. With a sword in hand, he twisted the poisonous fly into a corpse. It was just a pity that it was a level 65 small monster, and a level 54 character was killing it. The output was difficult, and the experience was weakened to almost nothing, making it extremely unprofitable.

"Good skill." A voice sounded from the side. It was Wei Chen, who didn't know which mud pit he had crawled out of. His equipment was covered in mud.

"Where's the Boss?" Ye Xiu asked.

"This way, be careful," Wei Chen said.

"How much more careful can I be?" Ye Xiu said helplessly. This was already deep in Poison Fang Swamp, and such large and small mud pits and puddles were almost everywhere. Even if he knew which pits contained poisonous flies, it was impossible to avoid them.

"Tch, and you call yourself a great god, I despise you!" Wei Chen's Windward Formation led the way in front. He took something out of his pocket, and with a soft sound, it seemed to be lit. Then he flashed it on the ground, and a faint blue smoke spread around like ripples. Wherever it passed, the poisonous flies in the mud pits, like birds startled in the forest, drilled out of the mud and fled far away.

Ye Xiu saw it. He wanted to use this insect repellent smoke, but that was a level 70 item. This was where Wei Chen had no bottom line. This could even become a reason to despise Ye Xiu.

Following this guy for a while, they weren't too far from the coordinates Wei Chen had told Ye Xiu earlier. Ye Xiu saw that this guy had actually come to pick him up in person, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"You can actually get away. Don't tell me your Boss hasn't even had a preliminary attempt yet?" Ye Xiu said.

"Worthy of being a great god, a divine calculation, foreseeing the future!" Wei Chen praised.

"What's the situation now?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Five guilds have already arrived. No one has acted rashly yet. They're all in the planning stage," Wei Chen said.

"What's your plan?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Waiting for you to come was my entire plan just now. Now that you're here, let's continue to discuss the next step. Come, come, don't be polite." Wei Chen's Windward Formation went around a few more trees and finally stopped, beckoning Ye Xiu to hurry up. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim went over and saw a bunch of people whose IDs seemed familiar. They seemed to be the ones Wei Chen had led the team against that day.

Ye Xiu casually greeted them, and they responded. They weren't too cold, but they didn't show any enthusiasm either. Everyone's eyes were focused on what was ahead.

What was the situation ahead? Ye Xiu turned Lord Grim's perspective over and was so angry that his nose was crooked. Ahead were players, players from the various major guilds. Currently, Swamp Hunter Leip wasn't even within the sight of Wei Chen and his group. Within their sight were the troops from the major guilds who had surrounded Swamp Hunter Leip, and on the outer perimeter were the casual onlookers.

Ye Xiu thought that Wei Chen had seized some opportunity, but now, it would be good enough if they weren't mistaken for scavengers and cleared out first.

"Did you come to rob the Boss or scavenge?" Ye Xiu began to suspect Wei Chen's motives. He felt it was necessary to clarify this issue.

"Scavenge? How shameless! As a great god, do you have any bottom line? You're embarrassed to scavenge? Of course, we came to rob the Boss. Unless we really can't rob it, we'll scavenge a little," Wei Chen said.

"Teach me how to rob the Boss in this situation," Ye Xiu said.

"No, you should be teaching me. Let your despicable help give me a hand!" Wei Chen said.

"How about you all take off your equipment and run naked outside. That will definitely attract everyone's attention. I'll take the opportunity to sneak in and kill the Boss with one hit," Ye Xiu asked.

"Running naked isn't the problem. The problem is how can you do a one-hit kill?" Wei Chen asked.

"I have my own way. You take the team to run naked first," Ye Xiu said.

"Well, wait a minute. Let us first carefully observe the other party's situation," Wei Chen said.

"You've been here for half a day. Haven't you observed enough?" Ye Xiu said.

"The situation is constantly changing. Look, look, another guild has arrived," Wei Chen said.

"I saw four on the way here," Ye Xiu said.

"Any overlap with the ones in front?" Wei Chen asked.

"Two that aren't," Ye Xiu said.

"So, eight guilds have arrived already. How amazing. I think we should go back first, right?" Wei Chen said.

"Should have done that long ago," Ye Xiu said.

As a result, although the two said so, their characters didn't move a step. They even moved forward a little, wanting to see the situation more clearly.

"Damn it, lower yourself a bit. Don't expose your ID. Your name is like shit now. It attracts flies the most!" Wei Chen said.

"Hello, flies," Ye Xiu said to Wei Chen.
