Chapter 1758 Conquer Them All!
[Raskran was once a continent that had a huge role in the development of the formation that would stop the universe"s destruction. Although the Severing Formation Array was used in the Sea of Stars against the Extinction Sphere, part of its array was created in this very continent.]
Author"s Note: For those who don"t remember the main plot, please check chapters 697 up to 700.
The system continued. [As a result, Soul Gem believes that one of the Foundation Fragments ended up here due to the intervention of destiny. As the hosts know well, you need to collect all 14 fragments, or else the foundation can"t be repaired.]
[The system can"t detect the presence of a fragment at the moment. However, the system can"t discard the possibility that the ruins where the array was developed are covering the fragment"s existence. As long as the hosts get close enough, the system should be able to identify the presence of the fragment.]
[Quest: Hosts are required to check the Raskran Development Center at the center of the Raskran Continent.]
[Reward Conditions 01: Fragment not detected, 50000 Destiny Points.]
[Reward Conditions 02: Fragment detected, the reward will be recalculated.]
[Time Limit: Unlimited.]
[Failure Conditions: Leaving the Raskran Continent before confirming whether the fragment is present or not.]
[Failure Penalty: 300000 Destiny Points.]
The twins were taken aback. It had been many years since they got the first fragment that they had almost forgotten about them already. "This..."
Of course, even though the system gave them the quest, it wasn"t like the old man in the sphere stopped talking.
"As you know, the continent is now available for a new organization outside the Center of the Realm of G.o.ds to take over. If it"s a clan, a sect, a guild, or whatever, we don"t care. However, you"ll have to follow the rules."
"First, as you"ve probably noticed, you"re the only ones in the regions you were brought to that have cultivations higher than the Nascent Soul Realm. That"s because we removed all cultivators at the Void Tempering Realm and above from the continent. That"s not all. Even if someone in the Void Tempering Realm or above enters the continent at the moment, their cultivation will be suppressed to the Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."
He continued, "The reason the same thing doesn"t happen to you all is because of the badges that you were given before coming to this place. These badges are bound to your own blood, so they can"t be used by others. They prevent the formation covering this continent from intervening in your cultivations. You can still fight at full strength and cultivate normally."
"Now, for the compet.i.tion itself. Just like the 57 regions of the Free Continent, 57 powers were called to take part in the compet.i.tion. Well, there"s one extra thing, but our representatives will explain that later. Before the compet.i.tion, we separated each region into 100 countries, which is also the number of compet.i.tors per region. Of course, some regions are bigger while others are not so much. Some have better resources, some are better for launching attacks, others are better for defense, some are better for cultivation, things like that."
"With that said, we can"t say that the region in each power"s hands is fairly at the same level. Well, life isn"t fair to start with, so deal with it. This compet.i.tion will also test the ability of their compet.i.tors to take care of their own regions, as well as their ability to overcome their difficulties and use their advantages."
"In relation to the populace that remained in the Free Continent, each region has almost the same amount of humanoid races, demon beasts, and spirits at the Nascent Soul Realm or below. How you"ll be able to rule them correctly is something we"re looking forward to seeing."
"Yes, this is not just some simple compet.i.tion where you can beat a few idiots and become the winner. This is a compet.i.tion that will have the entire continent as its arena. As for the main objective, it"s to conquer the entire continent! Do you want a new continent? Then go ahead and take it for yourself!"
"Let"s continue. The partic.i.p.ants and their subordinates are not allowed to go out and attack. There"s no such thing as a continent ruled by just three beings. When regions go to war, they gather their entire strength for it. Train your recruits! Build your armies! Command them and conquer regions! Show my Rambram Sect that your own continent has disciples good enough to sweep out the field!"
"I don"t care what kind of methods you use. Do you want to ally with other regions to get rid of the weaker parties first? Go ahead! Just don"t blame me later if you are betrayed. No, better yet, YOU"LL BE BETRAYED! Only a single power can take over this continent. There"s be no such thing as dividing the continent with others. Now, it"s up to you whether such alliances are good or not. Perhaps you decide to ally with another region just to find out that this region you allied with was, in fact, allied with someone else. Now you find yourself in their trap. These are just some examples."
"However, there"s one instance where the partic.i.p.ants are allowed to join the field. As you all know, the real top experts of your sects, clans, guilds, and so on only come out to fight when the situation is dire. They"re the last line of defense that protects the power you have over your own continents. That"s the case in this compet.i.tion as well. Suppose you see that you"re truly about to lose your region. In that case, you"re allowed to enter the field with your two hundred subordinates for a last-second struggle! Naturally, the attacking force is also allowed to use their own experts to finish the job."
The old man then smiled. "We don"t have forever to wait for this compet.i.tion to be over. With that said, the time limit is two hundred years. If a victor isn"t found by then, everyone will lose. In that case, my Rambram Sect will pick another power that"s not taking part in this compet.i.tion to rule this continent."
