I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

Now that the Tower of Twilight no longer exists, they have no reason to persist.

If he risked the lives of the members for no reason, he would be criticized as an incompetent leader.

Seeing Samuel's team retreat instantly, Long Xiangtian could only shake his head.

He escaped as fast as ever.

Even after they went to the mainland, because of his timidity, he survived for a long time.However, since his strength and influence didn't improve much, he was finally caught up and he lost his life.

Wake up, we're back on solid ground.

Lord. I still feel a little dizzy.

She muttered to herself, half asleep and half awake.

Long Xiangtian sighed and hugged her tightly.

No, you don't have to.

Don't be so shy, I have an obligation to take good care of you.

Even when they stayed in the palace, Long Xiangtian was always by her side, taking care of her when she was unconscious.

In other words, Long Xiangtian would also wash her and change her clothes.

Thinking of what he had done, her face became hot and flushed.

Please let me down, I can go by myself.

Ok.

When Long Xiangtian let go of her, she quickly put some distance between them.

A woman's protective instinct.

She couldn't control her shyness.

Are you acting cute on purpose?
impossible.
Refina, who originally wanted to deny it, quickly shut her mouth when she saw Long Xiangtian staring at her.

Let's walk back slowly.

".OK.

A man who always does the unexpected.

Refina followed behind him with a sad face.

Quaddek!
Large cracks began to appear throughout the Tower of Twilight, and it began to collapse into a pile of ruins.

A mysterious building left there by the Creator.

It accommodated countless tragedies and recorded the rise and fall of many small kingdoms.

So is the future for these adventurers.They will have to solve different situations in this chaotic world.

Using the Portal Stone, the two of them left the unpredictable battlefield.

***
After returning to the fortress, Long Xiangtian got some updates about their current situation from the team leader.

For him, two years had passed in the Tower of Twilight, but only two weeks here in the canyon.

After resting for a day, Long Xiangtian led his undead army to search for rewards that might still be hidden in the mountains and valleys.

Unfortunately, apart from the top of the mountain, they didn't encounter anything of value.He just collected some leadership skill points and teleportation scrolls.

After concluding that he had more or less plundered everything, Long Xiangtian decided it was time to end this canyon phase.

There is no reason to procrastinate any longer.

Just three hours later.
The blue adventurers who were guarding the entrance of their fortress fell to the ground in pain.

Some chose to fight to the last man and had to be killed.

Kwazizke
Their guardian stone was smashed by Grandia, causing a white text to appear in front of everyone.

[Chun Woo Hyuk destroyed the enemy's guardian stone! ].

(victory)

[The grace period against violence begins now]
[All surviving blue faction adventurers have been sent to labor camps]
[Members are free to come and go to any fortress]
[The general store function in the Adventurer's Table is now invalid. ]
[Items sold in taverns are now free for red faction members].

[Any crime is now prohibited and offenders will be sent directly to jail without any exception].

[Leaders can discuss and decide how to deal with prisoners of war. ]
The stage has come to an end.All monsters on the entire map are now gone.The survivors have all been teleported to the entrance to the fountain of the blue faction.

Congratulations on your victory in this battlefield!

Eve smiled and looked down at the player with a serious expression.

What will happen next?
Shall we fight again?
Seeing everyone's anxious expressions, Eve shook her index finger.

No, no, the Battle of the Canyon is over.We will also part ways here.

Of course, the tests that continue to be imposed on them are basically endless.

They will now head to the main stage, forced to forge their own path.The game won't end until all thrones are occupied.

After hearing Eve's description, the adventurers couldn't help but despair.

Ace continent?

Obviously, there are going to be a lot of monsters out there.

Fear of the unknown.

Seeing their reactions, Eve showed a satisfied smile, and she waved her hand to summon a black portal.

I can understand your concerns.Let me give you a suggestion, that is to gather your strength!
During this grace period, the survivors had time to gather strength.

The battle for the throne.

This is a place where the leaders of the Throne face off in the desert map.

The winner will rise through the layers, absorbing the power of the opponent.The highest level they can reach is the ten-tier Golden Crown.

The team leaders swallowed their saliva. They were very excited about leading a team of 1 people.

But don't worry, you won't fight, because the fight avoids people from the same district.Wish ya'll good luck!

The grace period only lasts until the next night, depending on when the Battle of the Canyon ends.

To close any loopholes, the leader's ability to expel members, and members' ability to impeach the leader, has been temporarily disabled.

It is only possible to leave voluntarily, or use the negotiator skill to assimilate the forces.

As Eve disappeared, the remaining players began to discuss with each other in the group.Now everyone wants to join your group, what are you going to do?
Hong Youli whispered to Long Xiangtian.

Some people even secretly took off the unification ring while others were not paying attention.

I won't accept anyone.

Even if he leads an army of [-] to the continent of Ace, if they encounter a dangerous situation one day, it will be meaningless.

And there will be a downside, that is, the starting location will change according to the size of your team.

You can come out now.

Hearing Long Xiangtian's words, two beautiful women came out from his shadow.

Aris and Erin.

They have become Long Xiangtian's subordinates, so they will always monitor his six people.He decided to accept them into his team and they have been with him ever since.

uh, who are they?

They are my people.

Elegant silver-haired beauties and fiery red-haired beauties quickly caught her attention.For some reason, the number of competitors keeps increasing.

When Hong Yuli couldn't control his jealousy, a white text appeared in front of everyone.

[The leader vote to determine the fate of the prisoners of war begins now. ]
Depending on the level of the royal family, voting rights will vary
The options are: 1. Selling yourself as a slave 2. Death penalty 3. Abstaining from voting].

After being sold into slavery, prisoners of war are sold to the Demon Realm, where they spend their remaining days in what feels like hell.

It's an easy choice to trade their lives for coins that can be spent on the continent of Ace.

The death penalty also has its own benefits.Can receive items from inmates instead of coins.

I choose number 1.

As Long Xiangtian said, he pointed with his finger and cast his vote.

Seeing his decision, the other leaders who had been insisting quickly pressed number 1 as well.

[Announcement of voting results]
[No. 1 has been chosen and sold into slavery. ]
[Distribute coins to groups based on their contribution]
A team's contribution takes into account many different factors.From killing enemy players, to capturing prisoners or guarding the safety of towers.

By these standards, Long Xiangtian's contribution is clearly much higher than everyone else's.

Boss, are we going to fight the teams from other districts inside the portal?
Li Zaicheng led the team to meet him, and asked, Long Xiangtian also nodded.

I better get the gold crown right now.

After the grace period ends, the crowns on their heads disappear, and the ranks are represented by the unity rings.

A silver ring would represent a silver crown, and likewise, a gold ring would also be a gold crown.

Unlike before, once the grace period is over, the cap that leaders can recruit will drop.

Those without a unity ring can no longer be recruited.This is to incentivize players to join groups before their expiration.

But I see no reason to repeat the same mistakes as last time.

In the early stages, leaders only focus on building the peloton.This led to the formation of alliances, and when such large groups fought against each other, it caused chaos across the continent for a considerable period of time.

Later local factions and demons also joined in to complicate matters.

It all led to a big mess

In order to avoid getting into such trouble, he can only rely on personal strength and subordinates.

A good reward will also be given to the first person to obtain the golden crown.

Do you want to call some more members?
No, just these three people and I can do it.

The three he was referring to were Lefina, Aris and Irene.

Long Xiangtian inspected the remaining players in Li Zaicheng's team one by one, and then spoke again.

You guys should take a break and use this time to find some good seeds.

The players who gave up on group expansion drank in the tavern and had a great time.

A festive atmosphere descended on the fortress.

No longer have to worry about other people's attacks, they can feel at ease.

Are you sure it's enough?

no problem.

Afterwards, Long Xiangtian brought the three girls to the teleportation gate of the plane

After watching them leave, Hong Yuli complained to himself.

They clung to him like chewing rice cakes.Why can't it be me?

***
As night fell, Long Xiangtian walked towards the tavern.

He has managed to achieve level 10 Golden Crown and has gained some talented followers.

Anyone who does not meet his standards, he will forcibly remove the ring, and then be teleported out of the battlefield, otherwise he will be killed on the spot.

Asura, can we do our own thing now?

Anything is fine as long as you don't commit a crime.

hehe thanks.

Aris smiled like a naughty kitten and disappeared into the night.

She seemed interested in the many facilities found in the fortress.

My lord, are you sure you can leave her unattended?Since she is my subject, she cannot do any usual tricks.

She had already handed herself over to Asura, so she couldn't resist Long Xiangtian's order and obeyed obediently.

Even if he wants to abandon her, she will only beg to stay by his side, and will follow him stubbornly no matter what.

Long Xiangtian opened the door of the tavern and walked in.

Even though it was quite late, it was still crowded inside.

Boss, here.

Li Zaicheng and his men have already won a table in advance.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

We are always willing to wait for you.

Lee Jae-sung and others are quite tired because they have gone through some difficult times.Therefore, Long Xiangtian took out Akunaton's golden holy grail and poured some wine into the empty beer glass.

This one
It's a drink fit for a king, though I don't know if you'll like it.

Because it is one of the best wines, it is of a much better quality than anything in the tavern.

Li Zaicheng and Shangxun took a few sips from their cups, clicking their tongues again and again.

Chia!This is the best.

Tastes great.

Minors such as Liu Kaiying, Song Anna and her Wu Nini tasted it after only one sip.

Long Xiangtian also recommended Refina and Irene who were sitting next to him to taste some.

i'm a weak drinker
Don't worry, if you fall, I will catch you.

Shall I drink some too?

It would be helpful for everyone to get to know each other.

Seeing the two women drinking some wine, Li Zaicheng and Zheng Shangxun asked curiously.

What's the name of the silver-haired lady boss?
She is as beautiful as Refina.

Eileen's appearance is just too perfect.Even if she just stands still and doesn't speak, she is outstanding.

It's totally normal for men to fall for her.

Long Xiangtian looked at her, she sat there gracefully, like a decent young lady.

Erin, do you like any of them?

"."

Her golden eyes sized up the two determined suitors, but she quickly shook her head.

dislike.

"."

The two of them couldn't help but bow their heads, expressing their failure.

Anyway, I have done as you asked and everything is arranged.

All you have to do is show up for the in-person test tomorrow.

When Long Xiangtian announced that he was going to recruit players for his team, the volunteers rushed over like a swarm of bees.

Five technical players passed the screening.

The standard set by Long Xiangtian was higher than they expected, causing most of them to be eliminated in the middle of the test.

Good job, but let's have fun tonight.

Of their original ten, only four survived.It was great to have such a relaxed gathering, especially since he hadn't seen them when he was in the Tower of Twilight.

While they were chatting with each other, Long Xiangtian looked at Wu Nini who was sitting next to Song Anna.

Being able to have a soul as a companion gives them a body to walk on this plane.This is a completely different level from simply signing a contract with spirits and borrowing some of their power.

With its own body, Ling can grow and learn new skills like other players.

What would the other six abilities be?

When Long Xiangtian was immersed in his own thoughts, Wu Nini said a word to him.

Um.
She seemed reluctant to speak.

what's up?

can i ask you something
Please speak.

Long Xiangtian heard Undine's voice in his head.

Do you have a monster inside you?

Because it is a spirit body, she is very sensitive to mana and has sensed the mana in his body.

Have.

Why join forces with one person?

Elemental spirits are pure magic and natural enemies of demons.

It seems that he has to explain it.

Let's go talk elsewhere.

Long Xiangtian took Wu Nini's hand and left the tavern.The rest of the people watched them leave with puzzled faces.

What happened?

Is it because she's new here?
An awkward silence hung in the air since the two of them left.

Zheng Shangxun suppressed his cough and looked between Lefina and Irene.

Why don't you two drink more, you see we even have snacks...

Men are naturally animals that don't know when to give up.

Before the two women could react, Li Zaicheng filled their glasses with water.

Since we don't have any plans for tomorrow, let's play tonight.

The banquet continued, but the two bachelors weren't able to score that night.

After a long explanation, Long Xiangtian finally succeeded in persuading U Nini.In fact, she was only worried about Song Anna's safety.

Although there seemed to be some magic energy in Long Xiangtian's body, he didn't seem to be hostile.

Now that the confusion has been resolved, Long Xiangtian concentrates on selecting some new talents.The work of recruiting new members lasted for a day, and a total of ten were selected.Compared with the maximum 1 people he can lead now, it is indeed a small number.But based on his past experience, this is enough.

Anyway, I don't need to gather too much in the early stage.

If you have too many teams, you won't be sending them all to the same starting point.

The larger the number, the more time it will take to bring everyone together.

He would rather go to the continent of Ace than wait for the team to assemble because his team is too big.

Soon, the grace period was over, and Long Xiangtian was anxious to leave.

Hey --- is this goodbye again?
We don't have much choice because that's how the system works.

Hong Youli looked at Long Xiangtian's team enviously.

She also won the tenth-level golden crown and led a large group of people.

Considering her status and responsibilities, it is impossible for her to join Long Xiangtian's group.

Can I really do what you say?
OK, don't worry.

Long Xiangtian told her what is the best way for her to develop.Barring an unexpected twist, she should be able to quickly control a small area.

Well, let's talk about it next time.

Koyuri waved his hand, regretful on his face.

Other members of the red faction felt the same way.

They watched Long Xiangtian go away, looking forward to seeing him again in the future.

It was very different from last time.

Isaac was always the star that everyone wanted to be in.However, Long Xiangtian's team was bigger than this time, but it was full of weak players.

His start now is simply not comparable to back then, so things will be different.

While thinking about his future plans, Long Xiangtian stepped into the plane portal.
