Chapter 1504: War Song

Swhoosh!

After teleporting to Dark Moon City and stepping into the territory hall, I found that Li Chengfeng, Xu Yang, Lu Buyi, Gui Guzi and more were already present.

"So?"

Gui Guzi looked to me for directions. "Are we participating in this conflict? And are we attacking Dark Mercenaries or Candle Dragon?"

I asked, "Who are you supporting, Chengfeng?"

Li Chengfeng responded, "I support the idea that we rush to the scene with sufficient men and figure out the exact situation first. Guild leader Eve shares the same opinion as me as well. We can't express our stance too soon anyway, or Candle Dragon and Warsky Alliance will be ready for us."

Xu Yang clenched his fists tightly. "Hmph! For the past few days, both our main guild and subguilds’ players have been killed by Candle Dragon and Warsky Alliance here and there. We haven't even paid them back for the Ancient Immortal-grade piece of equipment they dropped from one of our members, and now they're taunting us again?"

My eyes turned cold. "They killed our players? What did Warsky and Candlelight Shadow have to say for themselves?"

"They claimed that it was a personal feud and had nothing to do with the guild as a whole."

Lian Xin pursed her lips. "That's obviously a lie. Tiger Leopard Knight's 7-man party was ambushed by at least 100 Candle Dragon players at the foot of Dragonbone Mountain Range. The poor guy even lost his best equipment…"

I clenched my fists and smiled. "So, they're looking down on us because we haven't kicked their asses in too long. Very well. We shall head to the outer lands and reeducate them on the might of a king's guild!"

……

He Yi asked, "How many people are we bringing with us?"

I thought for a moment before replying, "50k Dragonlight Cavalry, 30k Dragonlight Archers, 20k Holy Mages and about 150k support players in total. We just need enough players to mount a sizable offense or defense. Warsky has been coveting our Dark Moon City after all."

"Mn, no problem!"

Ten minutes later, an entire formation of Dragonlight Cavalry entered our view. Their morale was high, and their average level was even higher. Even I was surprised to find that the Dragonlight Cavalry's average level was 245. It was something no other guild in the whole world possessed, not to mention that their equipment and mounts were top-tier as well. Their strength was definitely not a product of luck.

With a mini cyclone supporting my feet, my arms crossed proudly in front of my chest, I began with a smile on my face, "Brothers and sisters, Little Piglet and Dark Mercenaries are no ally of ours, but Candle Dragon and Warsky Alliance are definitely our competitors. The enemy or our enemy is our friend, which is why we'll be heading to the outer lands where they are fighting right now! Standby for my signal when we arrive at the battlefield. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is rivaled by no one!"

A golden light filled the sky when I pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword. All 50,000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen unsheathed their own weapons and chanted the slogan as well.

The hooves of war began earnestly. At this speed, we would pass through Sky City and arrive at the outer lands in less than an hour.

……

I flew in the sky while accompanied by three dragon knights and a phoenix knight. Of course, the three dragon knights were He Yi, Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi, and the phoenix knight was Beiming Xue. She was carrying Lian Xin behind her. Right now, they looked like they were basking in flames.

Suddenly, a system announcement rang beside our ears—

Ding~!

System Notice: Player "Wind Fantasy" (China) has attempted to absorb the divine energy of 100 Divine Crystals and failed. They are unable to ascend to become a god. Divine Crystal x100 has shattered, and the player's Luck has increased by 1!

……

"Poor Beauty Lin…"

I covered my forehead while saying, "That's 100 Divine Crystals gone just like that. Even if we pretend that each Divine Crystal only cost 100k, that's still a loss of 10 million RMB. Poor girl…"

He Yi asked, "I still have plenty of Divine Crystals. Should I give Yiyi some to make another attempt?"

I shook my head. "No, you should save them for yourself. I've collected a total of 137 Divine Crystals during my time in the Purgatory, so I'll do it. If she still cannot ascend, then I'll give you the remaining Divine Crystals."

Li Chengfeng said lazily while lying atop his Cyan Crystal Dragon, "Fuck, the late game of Heavenblessed is all about money. There's no way a lawful and incorrigible police officer like me can ascend…"

Gui Guzi said, "And yet we must. The difference between having Unusual Physique, Flight, or Mount Armor Transformation, and not having them, is just too huge. Even if by some miracle you managed to overcome the huge gulf of power between a mortal and a god, they could simply fly away to safety if the situation looks dangerous. There is just no comparison…"

I shook my head. "I'm going to see Yiyi now, so go on without me. Don't worry, I have high movement speed, I'll catch up to you guys in no time!"

"Mn. Come back soon!"

"Will do!"

……

After I sent Lin Yixin a message and received her coordinates, I immediately flew to her location.

Swhoosh!

I broke through the clouds and left behind a small shockwave at supersonic speed. The Ancient Divine Dragon's flight speed was just too good!

I stopped in my tracks when a blue dot appeared on my map screen. A beautiful girl was hovering in the clouds with a forlorn expression on her face. The Crimson Crystal Dragon's rune was glowing on her arm, and the Wind Severing Sword was suspended behind her back. She was of course Lin Yixin. She nearly broke into tears when she saw me, "I read the Book of Changes and found out that facing the sunlight from this angle at this time is where my luck will be at its best during the day, but it still wasn't enough…"

I let out a chuckle, gave her a hug and kissed her once on the forehead. Then, I said, "Calm down, girl. Only a couple of people have ascended so far, so this outcome is hardly unexpected. Also, it's not like you've lost all hope to succeed. I have enough Divine Crystals for you to make another attempt."

"Ah? You mean…" Lin Yixin's mouth fell open, but she shook her head and said, "No, you should save them for Sister Eve. My ascension can wait until later!"

"It's fine, Eve already has 100 Divine Crystals."

While saying this, I took out my 100 Perfect Divine Crystals and passed them to Lin Yixin. "Quickly now, let's make another attempt before the best hour is over. I would like to witness the birth of the fourth Divine Rank player with my own eyes!"

"Mn!"

Lin Yixin nodded heavily before receiving my Divine Crystals carefully. Then, she brought up the refinement screen and went through the necessary procedures. A second later, all the Divine Crystals shattered and started spinning wildly in front of Lin Yixin. At the same time, the spirit energy that escaped the Divine Crystals began merging as if it was trying to form something. Lin Yixin stared at the light show with wide open eyes while saying, "This is the part I failed in last time. The energy wasn't able to form a Divinity, and without a Divinity I couldn't ascend…"

I licked my lips. "Slow and steady…"

The crystalline light continued merging for a moment before there was a sudden ding. Then, we saw it transforming into a crimson, icy crystal and slipping into Lin Yixin's forehead. When her entire body became flooded by divine light, a system announcement rang across the sky—

System Announcement: Player "Wind Fantasy" (China) triggered an ascension! They have become a god and a War Divine Throne Guardian! The abilities they obtained are—Unusual Physique, Flight, War Song and Mount Armor Transformation

……

"Haha, it worked!" I hugged Lin Yixin tightly and laughed. "Your lucky place and time really does work!"

Lin Yixin was hugging me just as tightly. "I don't need to waste money anymore! Hurray! Hurray!"

I asked another question, "What is this War Song skill, by the way? Is it unique to War Divine Throne Guardians? Is it good?"

Lin Yixin showed me the skill detail with a hand wave, and it was pretty good—

War Song: Divine Rank skill. Damage dealt of all allies within 1000 yards of the user is increased by 20%!

Tsk tsk, not bad at all! Assuming that a player did 10k damage to a target, this skill would increase it to 12k[1]. It was definitely a very practical skill...

……

Lin Yixin's eyes were narrowed in happiness as she asked, "What are we doing next?"

I replied, "We're heading to the outer lands and maybe engaging Warsky Alliance and Candle Dragon in a small-scale battle. Are you joining?"

"In that case, I'll ask Purple Marquis to head over with a party of Snowy Cathaya players. We can always use some combat practice!"

"Okay!"

The two of us flew toward our destination together. Since we were both Divine Rank experts, our flight speed could only be described as superb. However, what really delighted Lin Yixin was the fact that she wasn't stuck at Level 255 anymore. The level cap for Divine Rank experts was 275 where another whole new realm awaited us.

I checked my level and noted that I was Level 270 right now. While being the highest-leveled player in the entire world was gratifying, it would probably take me at least a month of grinding to get to the next level. After all, I wouldn't be able to enter the Purgatory again, and even I wasn't shameless to ask Binglan to help me. Even if she would oblige my request,the Purgatory remained an exceedingly dangerous place that could kill me at any moment. Worst-case scenario, I could die and lose 20 levels. That would be counterproductive to say the least...

……

The outer lands were a vast map with little to no natural vegetation to be found. Players of the outer lands must be able to survive the threat of brutal monsters and seek out cheap supply spots to restore themselves. Players who could fly like me had no such problems, but those on foot might have to pay through the roof just to resupply one time.

That was why players who could survive the outer lands could be compared to winter grass; tough and unyielding.

Right now, the soil of the outer lands was wet with blood. The beats of war drums and battle cries filled the air, and two armies were clashing fiercely against one another. On the frontline, Little Piglet could be seen swinging a Divine Armament sword and killing a bunch of Qiu Beast cavalrymen. Thanks to the Heaven Suppressing Necklace, every attack he dished out caused massive green numbers to rise above his head. Occasionally, he would use his Crimson Dragon Arm and steal some equipment from his fallen foe. For example, he just seized a golden shield from an unfortunate fellow before cutting down the rest of the enemies with his sword.

……

On a low hill, Warsky abruptly unleashed a blade aura into a group of enemies before roaring, "How much longer are you going to stand here and watch your players be killed, Candlelight Shadow? Stop hesitating and kill Little Piglet already!"

However, Candlelight Shadow said coolly, "Not yet!"

"What could you possibly be waiting for? Are you waiting for us to be annihilated?" Wang Dongliang shouted from afar.

Blue Sky Scar chuckled. "Purgatory Mad Dragon truly are a bunch of idiots…"

1. E/N: That’s why it says “damage dealt” and not “attack power”. It increases damage that would be dealt after all calculations of Attack/Defense/armor penetration ☜
