CHAPTER 520: CHAPTER 246 SOUL GATHERING TOWER (6K)_3

Even the experiments can only be researched here, and implemented through the combination of the territory’s bodies and the Zhan Yi.

Currently, the revisions have only brought some attribute enhancements to the Undead.

However, in the past two weeks, her main gain is not these Undead, but in the virtual instance of the Cycle Challenge!

Since confirming cooperation with that Lord last time, three weeks have passed in the virtual instance!

Under the three rounds of investment opportunities, with increasing investment permissions each time, the Transcendent growth speed in Donglin has been almost exponential.

Originally, according to the rules, the increase in investment permissions was based on the experiences and achievements of the investors during this time, and since she set up in Donglin, after a major scheme.

The monsters remained dormant for two whole weeks before recovering and resuming their usual attack frequency.

Moreover, even so, the attacks on Donglin, and even on neighboring Wu Jing, have decreased significantly, to the point of being called "perfunctory."

Basically, there was nothing that could make the siblings invested by Bai Yi do anything, so normally it wouldn’t have doubled the investment permissions as before.

To solve this problem, she and the cooperative Lord concluded to resume the expansion and reclaim the lost lands as speculated by the outside world.

This not only harvested ample investment permissions but also served to mislead the outside world.

The power she invested in grew rapidly, but the monsters did not have Bai Yi’s investment capabilities.

Unable to continue organizing major events, they could only occasionally send out investors to earn some rewards, and with her gains accumulating, her advantage increased.

Besides these overt actions, there have been further studies on the unusual Space of the monster’s side.

With remote guidance from another Lord, a large Array has been secretly constructed inside the virtual instance using Bai Yi’s investor’s mastery of metals.

It could truly project people into another world, fully supporting the human side for a large-scale counterattack.

Simultaneously, exploration of the Monster World has made significant progress, finding the city where the monsters reside.

All the work is progressing steadily, and by agreement, next week will be their time to officially counterattack.

Even those investors funded by that Lord have now crossed great distances to Donglin, preparing to act immediately after next week’s investment qualification is issued.

Bai Yi has invested little effort in this aspect.

After all, she has already gained what she needs most, and whatever remains is just additional gain.

But the investments in Bai Yi are still ongoing, and those massive points are quite appealing.

Moreover, she also discovered another issue that kept her partially attentive.

She suspects that the Lord she cooperates with is not from this planet...

This was discovered from some of the Lord’s statements, occasionally mentioning a super powerful Tier 5 Lord suppressing other Lords including himself.

Suspected to follow a mechanical path, stuck with the Tier Six advancement task, thus remaining at Tier Five.

It’s also because of this he wanted support from her in terms of power.

But the problem is, as a Tier Five, if on the same planet as her, at least she should be able to see him in the world ranking.

Yet currently, the first and second places are still occupied by her and Yun Dao from the expeditionary army.

Yes, recently, Landon, who benefited from hitching on her modifications, rose in rank.

But there isn’t a Lord or territory name suggesting expertise in mechanics; furthermore, his tone suggests the regional borders have long been opened...

Bai Yi feels it’s very likely true.

This discovery also made her ponder game arrangements more.

"The last Cycle Challenge was to let Lords interact with other regions, followed by a chaotic Battle Zone amongst regions, and the opening of the regional barrier seems near...

Would this interaction with other regions’ Lords be some sort of portent?

The beginning of contact with Lords from other planets?

Just like how Tier Six first touches the Starry Sky, an adaptation phase offered by the game?

Like how Tier Six advancement requires the conquest of a region, inevitably linking to the region’s opening.

This contact with other planet Lords might signify related upcoming advancement tasks, and with Seventh Rank confirmed, it can only possibly hint at the 8th Rank...

In some sense, it makes sense. After all, Tier Six can access the Star Sky Transfer Zone; with more Tier Six Lords, it’s possible to meet in the Transfer Zone...

No, perhaps the Transfer Zone that Tier Six can enter is the real initial contact point, just like how seeing the world leaderboard after Tier Five, the encounter in the Transfer Zone might be an enhanced version of such a leaderboard.

And there’s definitely something to Tier Seven’s advancement...

Requiring the surrender of 10 Lords, what if someone preemptively eliminated all Lords in their area?

In the future, perhaps even more Lords’ submission will be needed?

If the surrender needed for Tier Seven advancement can still be filled with hostile Lords from other regions after the regional barriers open, then further thought...
