CHAPTER 575: CHAPTER 260: 100 MILLION POINTS! (6K)_2

In fact, especially after a few Tier 5 Lords had ascended recently, comparing their situations with the outside world, they found that under your suppression, their lives were much better than other Lords, leading to a sharp rise in your reputation.

And at the same time, through this interaction, they became aware of the dangers in the outside world.

At this point, all you need to do is post the ascension requirements, indicating an open and honest approach, and express that if they want to ascend, they must do so at the cost of their subjugation, pushing the responsibility onto the panel’s ascension requirements.

Then reveal that the surrounding areas have long been conquered by you, exhibiting some of your strength.

Most Lords would willingly submit to you without needing you to take action.

After all, compared to exploring alone and obtaining protection, from the information they currently have, the former obviously seems bleak.

Meanwhile, with your strength as a deterrent, even those Lords who are confident in themselves would submit under pressure.

As for those few Lords who have already reached Tier Six, in this situation, they are left with only two choices: submission or departure, both of which can be decided by you."

Although the final outcome was no different from her own thoughts, it was clear that Shang Ji’s suggestion aligned more with Bai Yi’s own ideas.

It wasn’t about being more humane or anything like that, because in the end, it would all result in her assimilation and annexation, but one required her to mobilize her insect swarm or witches to act, while the other merely needed a message.

If the result can be ensured to be the same, why not save the effort?

Thus, the decision was agreed upon.

Shang Ji was not surprised by this, given that this idea was specifically tailor-made for Bai Yi.

Their Highness’s thoughts were mostly transparent to them, and as onlookers, they understood her internal conflicts the best.

Although there had been some changes, with a more decisive approach towards enemies, and now she could even decide to harvest the life of those who weren’t enemies.

This might be due to their Highness’s influence, or perhaps it was their subtle influence on her in return.

But before becoming the Lord, and before becoming their Highness, her past experiences and insights still held certain beliefs in her heart.

Toward those former compatriots, there still was an unconscious goodwill.

Subconsciously, she would try to protect those familiar Lords, unwilling to personally wield the blade against them.

Even though they had already noticed that their Highness had started to have thoughts of harvesting these Lords, she also maintained the idea of not wanting to act in her current capacity.

After Bai Yi left, Shang Ji immediately got into work mode; the idea from earlier was quickly carried out by Shang Ji.

Just like the plan she presented earlier, releasing the messages in hand one by one, resulting in the current answers echoing in the channel.

"Very well, I will arrange the following process, and ask all Lords to surrender according to the procedure.

All Lords..."

Looking at the arrangements "she" made in the channel, Bai Yi was completely at ease and decided not to interfere anymore.

Instead, she began to focus her attention on updating this cycle’s challenge.

This cycle’s challenge provided three days as a buffer, and as usual, the next cycle’s challenge was publicly disclosed with the update. Unsurprisingly, it was the regional opening she had always speculated.

Moreover, this time the panel prompts even had some additional gains...

[Cycle Challenge — Regional Opening: The barrier dividing the regions has finally breached, this is a blood-soaked revelry, a call to war. This cycle challenge rewards conquest outside the region, with Lords successfully annihilating outside region Lords receiving rewards. Rewards will be distributed based on the contribution to the annihilated Lords]

[Note: After the regional opening, some areas will still retain regional barriers, the areas within the barriers are home to high-tier Beast Kings, please do not approach recklessly]

"As expected...

Some time ago, I considered that the Seventh Rank is so powerful, it wouldn’t be possible for us to face it directly so soon. As expected, just as I guessed, it didn’t immediately let us face the Seventh Rank...

Now having a barrier blocking them is actually convenient for me. I can prepare properly before crossing the barrier for a ’fair and just’ one-on-one duel~"

Speaking of this, Bai Yi thought of her little Ju back home, currently, her avatar was making the final push in the territory for Ju.

Now, Ju had no distractions in describing how she felt, focusing entirely, the true ascension should be today, perhaps even in a few minutes.

For the next cycle’s challenge, with her current strength dominating this world, there was nothing to worry about, at least not among the Lords.

"Hiss...

Wait, the Seventh Rank and 8th Rank are temporarily sealed, but knowing the nature of the game, unsealing them is only a matter of time...

The Seventh Rank is tolerable, but if it’s the 8th Rank..."

Bai Yi suddenly realized this, and a sense of urgency filled her heart.

Even with the power of the Seventh Rank, it isn’t a target that an ordinary Tier Six can overcome with numbers, let alone the 8th Rank!

Even when she was still low-tier, she had already experienced that kind of power reigning a planet.

Just by relying on one’s own strength, they could change celestial phenomena, and according to what was described by several Beast Kings at the time, the first Beast God even needed to voluntarily enter slumber to prevent their energy from scattering and causing planetary climate mutation.

Even the land of slumber had turned into a desert due to the distortion of abilities...
