Chapter 1524: Chapter 391: Clan Chronicle, Annals Chapter

Destruction can only yield momentary resources, whereas enslaving and observing the rise and fall of a civilization can harvest a continuous living history.

Simply explained, in the eyes of the Mingshi Clan, your branch clansmen are akin to a chicken that lays eggs.

Killing the chicken will only provide one meal.

Not killing means continued egg-laying.

This is the core purpose of the Mingshi Clan’s enslavement of the Moon Eclipse Branch; there are thousands of other enslaved races as well.

And this is just one of the core domains expanded by the Mingshi Clan, which they call the Observer Domain.]

After hearing the detailed explanation from the Guidance, Ah Lan’s heart was filled with indescribable shock.

Monster World is indeed a bizarre place.

Such a development approach where "history" itself becomes a source of power made him feel truly bizarre.

It’s like converting an abstract concept into concrete power through an unusual growth path.

Yet amid the shock, a realistic question surfaced in his mind.

How potent is the war potential of the Mingshi Clan, which possesses such unique rules and is bolstered by a vast "chronological history"?

One can infer from the description by Guidance.

This faction is currently an Overlord-level influence on the Wrathbound Continent, though the war intensity here may be far less than that of the Pale Continent Region.

But being a regional Overlord-level influence indeed signifies robust war potential.

Moreover, in the growth process of the Mingshi Clan, having devoured the historical accumulations of thousands upon thousands of civilizations, its foundation is immeasurable.

But his inability to estimate does not apply to Guidance.

He took a deep breath, his expression grave as he continued to inquire of Guidance:

"Brother Guide, I already understand their development model... so, what exactly is their war strength?

The war power of the Mingshi Clan far exceeds the limit that the current Player Faction can touch.

Their hands hold the Chronological Rules, accumulated with a vast thickness of history, endowed with immense rule-level resource foundation, and "chronological" is one of the eight major rules mastered by the Mingshi Clan, the most core rule.

Moreover, the strongest within their tribe is not the leader but a behind-the-scenes being called the "Historian".

Its power level has stabilized in the God Realm; it itself is the living history documenting the growth journey of the Mingshi Clan, with formidable combat power that mobilizes Book Power, challenging the Mingshi Clan with the current Player Faction’s power is like hitting a stone with an egg.]

Upon hearing Guidance’s answer, the situation was grimmer than he anticipated.

But Ah Lan did not become flustered or feel desperate because of this.

As a player, he needs not to be afraid of any influence, even if that influence currently has war power sufficient to crush the Player Faction completely.

Guidance’s answer was undoubtedly a cold shower that doused any fantasies of solving issues through force.

Yet it also brought a crucial piece of good news.

Since the branch clansmen have already become part of the Mingshi Clan’s "chronicles," at least for now, their safety is, instead, assured by this colossal entity.

The Mingshi Clan will clearly not allow the "living history" Chapters they circle to be torn apart by external forces, forced to conclude prematurely.

Any other influence wishing to move against this Moon Eclipse Branch must first consider whether they can withstand the wrath of the Mingshi Clan.

"Looks like... the path of armed rescue is completely infeasible." Ah Lan murmured to himself, his brain beginning to operate rapidly, discarding all unrealistic options.

The difficulty level has increased, but the goal is also clearer: the clansmen are alive, and their safety is temporarily guaranteed.

At least until the Mingshi Clan is destroyed by a stronger influence, this assurance will continue to exist.

But the risk still exists.

The changes in Monster World happen too fast, apart from the Black Tide, Insect Race, and other constant strong influences.

Even a powerful civilization with Divine Realm powerhouse overseeing, is far from being completely secure.

The strong Mingshi Clan still faces the risk of being devoured and destroyed by other unknown strong clans.

It’s necessary to find a way to bring the clansmen back as soon as possible.

At this moment, he already understood the future sought by the Star Network at this step.

In the current Earth Alliance, if discussing overall strength, the Moon Eclipse Clan undoubtedly leads all the tribes of the Earth Alliance.

It is also recognized by all Earth Alliance tribes as the leader.

But in terms of future development potential, the Human Clan is indeed the most dazzling one.

This potential is not from realistic technical development but exactly from the Human Clan’s population base, which is so large other races find it hard to reach.

Population count, before the appearance of Monster World, held little meaning.

Even in the eyes of smaller clans like the Gills Fish Clan, Abyss Fish Clan, it is a developmental burden.

Therefore, these smaller clans generally have planning directions for birth control, reducing the pressure of tribal resources allocation.

But after Monster World’s appearance, the situation underwent a fundamental reversal.

Large population bases have transformed from a potential burden into a race’s most precious strategic resource.

Every additional individual boosts the probability of drawing Player Qualification for the race.

Secondly, in the future Player Faction’s landscape, a race’s population count can determine its discourse power within the Player Faction.

More population means more players.

This includes the influence on forums, which would also rise with the tide.

More importantly, Monster World itself is a place full of infinite possibilities.

Every player starts from scratch, and theoretically, a vast scale contains countless paths leading to power.

An individual who appears ordinary might soar to the heavens due to luck in Monster World, becoming a pillar for supporting the entire tribe.

The advantage of numbers can significantly increase the probability of giving birth to such a "miracle."
