Starlinkâs Residence had once been brightly lit and crowded with people. However, after Zero Wingâs rise, the number of players visiting Starlinkâs Residence had steadily decreased. Now, apart from Guild members, almost nobody visited Starlinkâs Residence.
Starlink was now the least prosperous of the Dark Night Empireâs top four Guilds, not even comparable with first-rate Guilds.
However, many people had gathered in the Residenceâs top-floor meeting room, including representatives from the various superpowers and executives of many Dark Guilds. These people were here to discuss how to oppose the increasingly powerful Zero Wing in secret and the Outerworldâs invasion.
Only, after everyone present read the report they just received, their complexions turned indescribably ashen.
âHas Cold Shadow lost her mind?! She left Mythology for Zero Wing?! Is she not afraid of Mythologyâs retaliation?!â
âHasnât Cold Shadow always been at loggerheads with Zero Wing? Whatâs up with this situation?â
âIt seems Mythology is also stunned by this development. According to the reports I received, Cold Shadow seems to have planned this betrayal with her subordinates long ago. Not only did they annex hundreds of Shops simultaneously, but they also exchanged all their GCPs for resources. She took Mythology completely by surprise.â
Although the importance of Cold Shadowâs betrayal was insignificant compared to the Outerworldâs invasion, the various superpowers present were still shocked and confused by this situation.
Mythology was one of the Five Great Super Guilds. Cold Shadow herself also possessed extraordinary strength and status within the Guild. She had a high chance of becoming Mythologyâs Guild Leader. With such a bright future ahead of her, there should be no reason for her to leave Mythology.
Moreover, Zero Wing was currently in a terrible situation. The Guildâs ability to facilitate teleportation between the two main continents had made it an eyesore for the native superpowers and also a priority target for the Outerworld forces. Now that the second War of Worlds had begun, everyone was steering clear of Zero Wing.
Despite that, Cold Shadow had taken the initiative to join Zero Wing. The various representatives present simply couldnât wrap their heads around this situation. Some of them even suspected Cold Shadow of having a secret relationship with Shi Feng. Otherwise, why would Cold Shadow, a woman with a promising future, join Zero Wing, a Guild in a precarious situation?
âAll of you, be quiet!â Lu Tiandi shouted as the babel in the room reached unbearable levels. Standing up, he said, âAlthough Cold Shadowâs betrayal has increased Zero Wingâs strength substantially, our plans remain unchanged. According to the information I obtained, over ten Outerworld superpowers will lead a portion of the NPC conquest army to the Twin Towers Kingdom and Star-Moon Kingdom.
âTo ensure the swift destruction of these two kingdoms, we must get the experts there to leave as quickly as possible. We must also get the players of the neighboring kingdoms and empires to distance themselves from these two kingdoms. Without the help of expert players, the two kingdoms will fall with only their NPCs and Zero Wing to defend them!â
The various superpowersâ representatives and the various Dark Guildsâ executives nodded in agreement with Lu Tiandiâs words.
âGuild Leader Lu, rest assured, we will mobilize all available personnel to lure the independent experts of those kingdoms and empires away! We wonât let them assist Zero Wing!â
âThatâs right! We can also commission those experts to join the armies of other kingdoms and empires! I believe those independent experts will be more than happy to do so for an appropriate price! The Twin Towers Kingdom and Star-Moon Kingdom will have nobody to help them!â
In the current era where Zero Wing dominated the eastern continent, the superpowers and Dark Guilds hostile to Zero Wing were having an incredibly bad time. Moreover, with Shi Feng defending Zero Wing, even the Five Great Super Guilds could do nothing against Zero Wing.
Nevertheless, Zero Wing couldnât stop them from secretly carrying out small schemes. Players played a significant role in the War of Worlds. This remained true even for Tier 3 players because players could resurrect continuously even after falling in battle. While NPCs could also be resurrected, the process was much more complicated. Moreover, the battlefield spanned far and wide. Even if an individual possessed heaven-defying combat power, they could affect the outcome of only a limited area. Winning the war still required the cooperation of a large number of expert players.
In the first War of Worlds, the only reason the eastern continentâs forces managed to stop the Outerworld NPC armyâs advance was the large number of expert players who had participated in the war. Otherwise, the eastern continent wouldâve long since fallen.
Hence, the various superpowers and Dark Guilds present were confident of destroying the two kingdoms serving as Zero Wingâs backbone in the upcoming war.
While the various superpowers and Dark Guilds were secretly colluding against Zero Wing, a large number of Tier 4 experts had gathered in the distant Orc Empireâs Ancient Rock City. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the main street, the female Guardian Knight White Feather exclaimed, âVice Guild Leader, this city is absurd. Not only does it have stronger defenses than a royal capital, but the number of Tier 4 NPCs here also surpasses even that of certain imperial capitals.â
White Feather had been living and developing in the Fire Dragon Empire all this time, so she was accustomed to the prosperous and powerful Flame Dragon City. Hence, no Guild City had ever managed to catch her eye.
However, after arriving at Ancient Rock City, White Feather had to acknowledge the cityâs magnificence.
The number of Tier 4 NPCs visiting Ancient Rock City was especially amazing, practically comparable to Flame Dragon Cityâs!
Meanwhile, the presence of Tier 4 NPCs would greatly impact a Guild Cityâs defensive standard and the fortuitous opportunities available within it.
âIt is indeed well-developed. Even Mythologyâs main headquarters canât compare,â Cold Shadow said, nodding in agreement.
Originally, she still had some misgivings about her decision to join Zero Wing. However, seeing Ancient Rock City had considerably alleviated her worries.
With Ancient Rock Cityâs advantages, the city could repulse the various superpowersâ attacks even if Shi Feng were absent. It also wouldnât have any problems fending off Mythologyâs retaliation.
Moreover, given enough time, Ancient Rock City would not only attract a large number of players from the surrounding kingdoms and empires but also acquire increasingly better resources from the Orc Capital City. Afterward, so long as the eastern continent succeeded in fending off the Outerworldâs army, it wouldnât be difficult for Zero Wing to become Godâs Domainâs strongest Guild.
Her only concern was that fending off the Outerworldâs conquest army wouldnât be an easy task. If the defense were mishandled, Zero Wing might even perish in the upcoming war.
After thinking up to this point, Cold Shadow couldnât help frowning.
She couldnât understand why Shi Feng had suddenly called for Tier 4 members like herself to gather in Ancient Rock City. Now that the second War of Worlds was imminent, there was a lot of work to be done. It was especially important for them to recruit expert players from the neighboring kingdoms and empires. If they acted slowly, the other superpowers would definitely interfere with their plans.
When Cold Shadow and her team of nearly ten Tier 4 experts entered the City Lordâs Mansion, they were instantly stunned by the environment inside the building.

âWhy are the operating principles of Mana so clear here? The clarity inside Mythologyâs special secret land doesnât even come close,â White Feather exclaimed.
The special secret land Mythology had found and secured after paying a great price had an excellent environment that provided players with greater insight into the operating principles of Mana. However, only a limited number of people could enter the secret land at a time, resulting in fierce competition among the Guildâs many Tier 4 experts and the Tier 3 experts seeking to get promoted to Tier 4.
Moreover, even after one clinched a slot, they still needed to fork out a lot of resources to enter the secret land. One had to pay for these resources out of oneâs own pockets, the total cost of which was enough to make even Tier 4 experts wince.
Yet, not only did Ancient Rock Cityâs City Lordâs Mansionâs environment surpass that of Mythologyâs special secret land, but there was hardly an entry limit. With the size of the City Lordâs Mansion, thousands of players could enjoy this wonderful environment simultaneously. If Mythologyâs many Tier 4 experts found out about this, they would probably die of envy.
While Cold Shadow and the others were in a daze, Shi Feng, who had been waiting in the City Lordâs Mansion for some time now, suddenly said, âAlright! Now that everyoneâs here, letâs enter the Evil Godâs Secret Land!â
