Chapter 376 - 79: The Eight Realms Alliance Army? Attack! Attack the Eight Realms Alliance Army
The Alliance Headquarters served as the "core of power" for a Player Alliance. The authority to select a site and construct this special building rested solely in the hands of the Player Alliance’s Alliance Leader.
Once the headquarters was successfully established, it would transform into a "combat engine" for all alliance members, providing massive Ability Value and Attribute Value bonuses to everyone on the team and significantly boosting their overall strength.
Moreover, this bonus could also be unlocked during a Plane War, but it came with specific situational restrictions.
The bonuses could only be fully activated when Lord Players acted as the "Defender," holding their ground and using their home-field advantage to bolster their combat power.
If a Player Alliance took the offensive and became the "Attacker," the Alliance Headquarters could not be moved to the enemy Plane. This powerful bonus would thus be unavailable, forcing them to rely on their own strength to launch an assault.
The rule for destroying an Alliance Headquarters was identical to that of a Lord’s Hall, employing a "king versus king" duel format.
Once the battle began, the strongest "King of War" from each Player Alliance had to personally enter the fray. They would clash head-on within a special area inside the Alliance Headquarters, and the outcome would directly determine its fate.
Notably, the defending King of War would receive additional Attribute bonuses from the Alliance Headquarters, effectively granting them a "home-field aura."
Therefore, in a battle to defend an Alliance Headquarters, the defending side typically held a distinct advantage.
Of course, for the current Qin Feng, who possessed Heaven-Defying Level strength and bonuses, sweeping through every Player Alliance Headquarters on his Plane would be a simple matter.
But he hadn’t done so.
The reason was simple: the Plane World he was on was a "Peace District" that valued unity. The Lord Players there never fought amongst themselves, and no one ever tried to stir up trouble.
As the leader among the Lord Players and the acknowledged "Heaven’s Chosen Ruler" of the entire Plane’s forces, Qin Feng’s interests were already intertwined with the other Lord Players. They shared a common destiny.
For him, there was no need to use measures of Punishment against these companions.
However, if another Plane World declared war on his, he would make their Alliance Headquarters understand what it meant to face a seasoned, god-like veteran.
Next was the Sky City System.
It was the "Combat Power Regulator" of the third stage.
’In Qin Feng’s view, the Sky City System was more like another form of the Void Realm. It didn’t follow the Void Realm’s general combat logic, but it perfectly filled the power vacuum in this new stage.’
’Especially in the early to mid-third stage, the vast majority of Lord Players were still stuck below the level 75 cap.’
’At this point, the Sky City would enter an ’Absolutely Invincible’ mode, and no attack could damage it.’
At the same time, like a Void Gate hanging overhead, it would continuously send down the "Illusory Remnant Souls" of fallen Lord Players from history. These souls retained the various Core Skills they had in life. Along with them came the "Illusory Remnant Souls" of the Divine Chosen Teams who had been loyal to those Lords, their combat power just as formidable as it was in their prime.
’The purpose of these special hostile units was essentially to replace the Void Creatures, which had been completely ’annihilated’ in the second stage.’
’Otherwise, once a Lord Plane was unified and the Void threat from the Evil God Faction was eliminated, the players wouldn’t fight each other due to the peace mode. The entire Plane would then fall into the awkward predicament of having ’no wars to wage.’’
’Without battles to gain experience or conflicts to hone their strength, the Lords would eventually stagnate, unable to break through to the next level.’
The Illusory Remnant Souls deployed by the Sky City provided everyone with continuous combat targets, allowing their power to keep growing.
Furthermore, once most of the Lord Players on the Plane broke through their bottlenecks and reached the level 75 cap, the Sky City’s "Invincible" state would be deactivated.
At that point, this special structure, which had continuously deployed enemies, would transform, becoming the crucial "sieve" for entering the fourth stage.
Only the Lord Planes capable of conquering the Sky City would qualify to pass the selection threshold and earn the chance to advance to a higher-tier Lord World.
’As for why Void Creatures were no longer used as leveling targets for the players, Qin Feng didn’t have a definitive answer.’
’He could only make two hypotheses based on the situation.’
’The first hypothesis was ’entertainment-driven.’ He suspected the Deities who created the Lord Game felt that using the same monsters for too long was getting stale. By changing the ’challenge targets,’ they could add more surprise and novelty to the game, preventing players from suffering from aesthetic and combat fatigue.’
’The second hypothesis focused more on ’practical combat training.’ The Deities, who were akin to Creators, might have noticed that certain Lord Planes in a ’state of peace’ had no internal conflicts or invasions from other Planes. This meant the Lord Players there had almost no opportunity to practice PvP in real combat situations.’
’Therefore, they specifically deployed Illusory Remnant Souls with power levels similar to the players. This allowed everyone to hone their PvP skills through combat and make up for their lack of real battle experience.’
Finally, there was the "Otherworldly Divine Chosen Team."
This was the very opportunity Qin Feng had been waiting for—a chance for the Wood Elves and Skaven Ratmen to openly take the stage.
As the Lord World entered its third stage, the entire Plane’s state of "seclusion" was shattered. It would now not only face invasions from other Lord Planes but also have to contend with the emergence of "Space-Time Turbulence."
