Chapter 717: Chapter 347 Winning Broadcast, Regional Barrier! (Two in One)_3
When a second winner emerges, the strength of the regional barrier is reduced by a factor of two. When a third appears, it is reduced by an additional factor of three from its then-current strength, and so on. The Solar System is the 100th winner, so this time, the barrier’s intensity will be directly reduced by a factor of 100 from its current level. Naturally, breaking through should now take only about a year.
Attacking the regional barrier is actually a very tedious task because all one needs to do is place a hand on it and wait. The regional barrier automatically deducts barrier points every second, based on one’s total divine element. In the beginning, merely counting the number of digits in the regional barrier’s point value was enough to make one’s head spin. It’s much better now, though a great many points still remain. Breaking through will not be so easy.
However, once the Solar System secured its victory, the process would accelerate significantly as soon as another Star System won.
As news of the Solar System’s victory in the first regional competition spread among all Star Systems poised to potentially enter the second region, the upper echelons of the Heavenly Water System, who had always maintained a good relationship with the Solar System, promptly sent their congratulations.
“Congratulations on your victory in the first region.”
“To be honest, we are rather embarrassed. It was sheer luck that we produced such an outstanding youngster; we are merely basking in their glory.”
“Alas, our Heavenly Water System has not been so fortunate. We are struggling under immense pressure and fear we will soon be defeated. We only hope that you might spare us some slots for star citizenship conversion, allowing us to preserve a small part of our lineage.”
The leadership of the Heavenly Water System made no unreasonable demands, such as asking the Solar System to send forces to help them win their battles. They knew such a request was ludicrous and impossible. Once individuals from a different region entered their own, their lives and deaths would be entirely under the control of that region’s inhabitants. No matter how amicable the relationship, no one would willingly send their powerhouses into a situation where they had no autonomy over their own survival.
Knowing this, the Heavenly Water System’s leadership never even broached the subject of requesting aid. Firstly, their most pressing current need was to preserve a fragment of their lineage. Secondly, the Solar System had already won. Why would they send their people to help, incurring unnecessary casualties? The Heavenly Water System could offer the Solar System no benefits, so there was no reason for the Solar System’s people to make sacrifices for them. Even if the Heavenly Water System promised to follow the Solar System’s lead upon entering the second region, such a promise held no guarantee. Even if the speaker was sincere, the listener could not be certain of their truthfulness. Therefore, any aid from the Solar System would amount to a pointless sacrifice. Understanding this, the Heavenly Water System’s leadership knew they couldn’t possibly make such a request.
Thirdly, even if the Solar System genuinely sympathized and was willing to send aid, they would clearly not dispatch their top powerhouses. After all, once a powerhouse entered another region, regardless of their strength, they would be completely at the mercy of that region’s inhabitants. No matter how good the relationship, they wouldn’t risk their paramount experts. The only conceivable exception would be if they faced an existential threat, such as an entity like Chen Mo who could jeopardize their future survival; only then might they disregard all costs and deploy all available forces to eliminate him. And if top powerhouses weren’t sent, the battle’s outcome couldn’t be changed, rendering any other assistance meaningless. Consequently, these matters were best left unmentioned.
Upon reading the Heavenly Water System’s humble request, Jiang Yun and the other two fell silent for a moment.
“How many conversion cards should we give them?”
“We even gave 100 slots to the Yongming Star System, with whom we have a grudge. The Heavenly Water System has always been on good terms with us, so naturally, we can give them more. We might even be able to fully integrate all their powerhouses to serve us. After all, we have no enmity with the Heavenly Water System. Upon their arrival, their primary animosity would be directed towards the Star System they competed against, making their assimilation relatively straightforward.”
As the three of them conversed, two figures flickered into existence in the room. Chen Mo and Zhui Yi had exited the Tower of Eternity and appeared before the three Alliance Hierarchs.
After the Solar System’s resounding victory, everyone had gathered back at the Base of the Tower. At that moment, Chen Mo’s Mind Reading Technique had successfully detected several traitors among them. Although the Solar System had now achieved victory, these traitors had, to varying degrees, previously leaked intelligence about the Solar System. Clearly, some old scores needed to be settled.
As for how to settle these accounts, Chen Mo naturally felt it was most appropriate to leave the matter to the three Alliance Hierarchs. Thus, he flew in with Zhui Yi. He arrived just in time to hear the three Alliance Hierarchs discussing the integration of new forces. And as his Mind Reading Technique took effect, Chen Mo instantly gained a clear understanding of everything the three Alliance Hierarchs had recently been doing…
