Chapter 128: Scheme of the Blue Star Will
The players in Winter City were enthusiastically engaged in construction.
However, the players in Dawn Town were far from enthusiastic.
They didn’t understand why joining the Eagle Territory would grant them five professions and Fine Grade equipment.
What they understood even less was why the Eagle Territory only had a quota of five hundred people.
If given the chance, they would have all joined the Eagle Territory.
Many players were so angered that they simply logged off.
Their sole purpose was to question the game’s official developers about the unfairness of the situation. If they didn’t receive a clear answer, they threatened to flood and destroy the official forums.
Though they had never succeeded before.
Ye Hao was also fuming at this moment.
His player count had decreased by five hundred, and his Godhead had been stolen by a special power.
What was worse, it was difficult for him to find a second wave of demi-humans. Almost all the demi-humans in the Eagle Territory had already been captured and brought to Winter City.
If he couldn’t submit the demi-humans on time a month later, the demonic brands in the contract would take effect, and those fiends who delighted in toying with souls would torture him to death.
“What should I do? What should I do?”
Ye Hao paced back and forth in his room, gnawing on his fingernails as he walked.
This was an old habit of his; when he was anxious, he would instinctively bite his fingers.
[Ye Hao]
The grand will of the blue planet, the Blue Star Will, appeared beside Ye Hao, its form now much more solidified, no longer feeling as unstable as before.
[The matter of the Godhead is known to Me. This is Cain Will’s counterattack.]
[However, I am not without gains. That strange item from the Orc Tribe has been analyzed by Me, and I can now grant the Orcs professions for My citizens.]
“But the current problem cannot be solved simply by opening up an Orc profession or by increasing my strength.”
“The players’ anti-war sentiment towards the Eagle Territory is clearly evident, and they have also secretly allied with the First Prince of the Kolon Empire.”
Ye Hao gnawed on his finger, his anxiety growing with every word he spoke. He roared,
“The players are now almost allied with the Lord of the Eagle Territory, and what about me?”
“I am just a clown. Do you know what those players say about me on the forums?”
“They call me the third party, the wronged party, the good-for-nothing!”
[That prince bears the heavy responsibility of the Undead. I can help you expose his identity before your citizens.]
[Furthermore, since you have cooperated with the Abyss again, this matter cannot be undone. Go and cooperate with the Balda Holy See to obtain demi-humans from them.]
[In the subsequent war, you can also lead my citizens to suddenly turn against the First Prince and the Lord of the Eagle Territory, reaping the benefits.]
After speaking, the Blue Star Will remained silent for a moment.
With eyes that emanated divine light, He looked at the disheveled young man before Him. This young man was supposed to be the chosen prodigy He had specially selected.
However…
He shook His head helplessly and continued to speak faintly,
[Cain’s slumbering gods are beginning to awaken, and I am also fanning the flames.]
[The Lord of the Eagle Territory currently has four vessels for gods by his side. I have seized an item from Cain’s endless ocean, which can help the god who controls the power of the raging ocean waves to awaken.]
The Blue Star Will spoke, and the space before Him twisted.
Ye Hao felt a gust of oceanic mist hit his face.
Extremely fast currents squeezed out of the space, intertwining and eventually forming a golden trident before Ye Hao.
Ye Hao could feel a powerful will slumbering within the trident, but he was unable to harm it in the slightest.
[The slumbering object of the god is indestructible. Even with my current level of infiltration into Cain, I cannot destroy it, only utilize it.]
[If you help it awaken, then before it returns to the Divine Kingdom, it will also lend you a hand.]
Ye Hao grasped the trident. He knew it was an extraordinary Divine Artifact, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the authority to use it. In his hands, it was merely an indestructible fire poker.
“What should I do?”
Ye Hao stared intently at the grand will, his eyes filled with determination and hatred.
[Take it and find that demi-human named Xing Hai. Pierce her heart with this item.]
Ye Hao nodded. He suddenly noticed a dark, twisted object on the blade of the trident, seemingly devouring the Divine Artifact.
As if noticing Ye Hao’s confusion, the grand will sighed and explained,
[This is the pollution of an Old God. It cannot be removed for the time being. Even if Cain rewinds time, it will be useless. This is also a challenge I must face.]
[Do not touch the polluted area, or you will fall into endless delirium and eventually degenerate into an irrecoverable slave of the Old God.]
After saying this, the Blue Star Will’s body twisted, and the divine light emanating from it gradually became illusory and dim as its body faded, finally disappearing completely.
At the same time, all the players in Dawn Town received a new main quest:
[Temporary Epic War Quest: Royal Capital Melee]
[Quest Description: You, allied with the First Prince, are preparing to jointly attack the Royal Capital to prevent the Pope from usurping the throne. However, you are unaware that the First Prince has long been transformed into a special vampire prince by the Undead.]
[No one can discern his identity.]
[He intends to use the meat grinder battlefield of the Royal Capital as a spell array to summon a terrifying Undead Calamity, spreading outwards from the Kolon Empire until the center of the entire Cain Continent becomes a sea of undead.]
[Ye Hao, as the Son of Destiny, has long foreseen the First Prince’s scheme. He decides to play along and deliver a fatal blow to the First Prince at a critical moment to prevent the Undead Calamity.]
[Quest Restrictions: None]
[Quest Reward 1: Equipment below Master Grade, Rare Mount Griffin, Rare Mount Dire Wolf, a large amount of Experience Points, qualification to change class to Orc, Equipment Enhancement Coupon.]
[Quest Reward 2: Players who accept this quest will immediately receive a set of Normal Grade equipment for free, and three Skill Enhancement Scrolls (each scroll can be used as one Skill Point).]
This time, the Blue Star Will did not make empty promises. These rewards were tangible benefits that could be directly given to the players, as making empty promises last time had already angered the masses.
He still needed these citizens to be his laborers. How could he not offer them some incentives?
Therefore, this time, he decided to directly give away equipment. After all, they had already established a foothold on the Cain Continent, and being stingy was not a good look.
The new war quest immediately caused a stir among the players in Dawn Town, not only because the rewards were quite good and they received equipment just for accepting the quest, but also because of the First Prince’s hidden scheme and identity.
A player who had gone to Grey Fortress with the Scheming Frog said with lingering fear in the public chat,
“I knew that First Prince looked a bit strange. The way he looked at me was also weird, as if he was thinking about where to take a bite…”
“Frog Brother, should we accept this quest?”
The Scheming Frog looked at the rapidly scrolling public channel and lightly nodded, typing,
“Accept it, why not? We’ll help whoever gives us more benefits. It’s just a matter of switching sides.”
“Besides, the quest description is very clear, that Bai Leferun is not a good person.”
