When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 1005 - 359: Spanning Billions of Light Years, Igniting the Star Sea
Whether others would feel fear for this, she was unsure, but she knew she was really so excited that she began to hum softly.
Would anyone really not hum at this point?
Bai Fu continued reading, and when she saw the task notes, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
It's already challenging enough to crush the fourth squad, and now you expect me to take out the Apostle Holy City's reinforcements? You must really think highly of me.
Bai Fu closed the task panel, noticing the time was just right. She sat in the chair, continuing to act as Sha Fu.
As Bai Fu teased Aijie, players from the Silent Court camp, stationed at the front line, simultaneously received a new notification.
[Silent Court Level One Directive: All Undying People who receive this message, please immediately retreat from the frontline back to Ancestral Origin Star. We have more important tasks awaiting us!]
Accompanying the notification was a new main task.
This notice sparked a wave of intense discussion among the player community.
Since joining the Silent Court, it was the first time they had received such an order.
[Treasures, treasures, what's going on?]
Digging Girl: [I have no idea]
[Why not just ask Fu... oh, wait, I forgot Fufu turned into Sha Fu. Ugh, how did this happen?]
[Could it be that the Silent Court was attacked again and requires our support?]
[Don't joke, what can we support with our power?]
[Or could it be that the relationship between the Silent Court and the three cosmic level civilizations has broken down, and that's why they urgently need us back?]
[It's possible the relationship has soured, but a full breakdown doesn't seem likely.]
[Indeed, the three cosmic level civilizations aren't foolish; having a fallout with the Silent Court at this time wouldn't benefit them at all.]
Gradually, a large number of conspiracy theories began appearing in the community.
Players across the Star Sea temporarily put aside their tasks, frequently checking the community for updates on this event, hoping to find out what was really happening.
After all, this could potentially impact the future plot development of the game.
Amidst the chaos, certain connected players tried leveraging their relationships to uncover the reason, planning to prepare in advance; however, despite their efforts, they gained no new insights.
Even connections as strong as Digging Girl were not exempt.
[Forget it, if we can't figure it out, let's not guess. They said it's an important task, so the rewards must be significant. I'm heading back first.]
[We just accepted a very rewarding task here at the front line; abandoning it now would be a massive loss. Damn it, I'm not going back. I can't believe the Silent Court's task rewards could be higher than this one I have now.]
Ultimately, most players chose to return to the Silent Court, while a few others continued to hold the frontline.
"Only 19 million players came back? Well, that's enough; they don't need to engage in deep space combat for this mission, just protect the battleships."
Upon receiving Julia's report, Bai Fu immediately instructed Julia to organize all the players, dividing them into multiple arrays, and let them become familiar with the battleships sent by the three cosmic level civilizations in preparation for the decisive battle.
The days of waiting were long.
As the players returning to Ancestral Origin Star became familiar with spaceship operations and gained experience from basic tasks, those still on the frontline were enjoying themselves immensely.
They acted with the Alliance Army of the three cosmic level civilizations, fighting valiantly among the stars. Every day, they were either heroes themselves or witnessing the rise and fall of heroes.
They were like a flame burning on the vast front lines spanning countless light-years.
They were always strikingly brilliant.
Of course, this brilliance was also accompanied by the bloodshed from the relentless push and pull of the warring factions.
For both the Apostle Holy City and the three cosmic level civilizations, this was by far the hardest fought war they had experienced.
Both sides deployed massive top-tier weapons, a large number of Cosmic Treasures, many Dominators, and Super Supremes, engaging in attacks and defenses on a grand battlefield fueled by lifeblood.
For NPCs, this was the prelude to the apocalypse.
But for players, it was an era of thrilling passion.
For those players watching from Ancestral Origin Star, saying they weren't envious would be a lie.
However, their envy didn't last long.
Half a month later, when Bai Fu, under Aijie's care, was finally able to "recognize people," an urgent message arrived from Litt.
[Under the Supreme Divine Disciple's instruction, Apostle Holy City's force number four is conducting large-scale troop movements. They plan to shift from the Imperial side to Titan Industry, believing that Titan Industry's great mechanical legion and Titan Array are top priorities for handling. Our opportunity has arrived!]
Indeed, the long-awaited opportunity had finally arrived.
Reflecting on the past, Bai Fu remembered when she obtained a True Spirit Relic Fragment of Apostle number three, she hadn't even left Ancestral Origin Star yet.
When she finally had a chance to gather all the fragments, twenty years had rushed by.
"The Star Sea has entered a chaotic age; Silent Court need not remain silent anymore. Let's embark!"
Bai Fu's voice resonated within the virtual conference room.
A few minutes later.
The message about the task's commencement spread across Ancestral Origin Star.
Stationed players boarded the ships sent by the three cosmic level civilizations in succession. Under the leadership of Julia, Fei Ye, Black King, and Shadow Fu, they commanded millions of capital ships and over a billion escort ships to leap into the sky, tearing apart the starry sky amidst interwoven waves of dark energy.
Billions of warships traversed billions of stars, heading toward battlefields billions of light-years away!
At the same time, in that unknown secret battleground,
Litt led the Anti-Apostle Holy City Alliance in a stealthy operation, while Suixi lay dormant silently on the Holy Land Star; Bai Fu's true form, along with Jin Lu, King Bai, and Sorrowful Eye, like an invisible wind, passed through the deathly silent Void Dimension, advancing toward Lupus's location, while An Ya, Xia Shi, Cecilia, and the countless "main characters" Bai Fu had gathered over the years using various methods, kept tabs on every movement of the Rebirth Empire.
