Chapter 1615: Chapter 411: A Brand-New Experience, Damned Shady Merchant

Ecstasy and Defense Break unfold simultaneously in every city.

Ye Ming, having gained qualification, did not hesitate for a moment. He decisively tore open the high-efficiency nutrient canister prepared by his feet and struggled to connect it to the power interface of the game pod.

Afterwards, he swiftly lay down inside the pod.

The cover closed, and the cold nutrient liquid quickly filled up.

Vision abruptly dimmed.

Before long, a magnificent and stunning CG scene unfolded in his consciousness, depicting regions explored by players in Monster World and representative forces.

When the CG played up to the Bright Star Sea Area, a complex, indescribable emotion welled up in Ye Ming’s heart.

In the previous opening CG shared by players on the forum.

The first to appear was the Ancient God Arena situated in the Death Sea Domain, with the background featuring Champion Fighters with bulging muscles, roaring at the heavens.

Next was his own heroic figure, commanding the legion on Mingwu Island, faintly visible amidst the surging Mist Sea.

Then came the golden light sphere representing the Shuyan Will in the Shuyan Domain.

Lastly, the image of Chi Yan surrounded by elemental brilliance on the Magma Throne at the Ascension Island.

The four great powers stood side by side, the pattern distinctly defined.

But at this moment, the new CG scene unfolding before him still retained a grand sea view, though its content had changed.

The opening remained the Ancient God Arena represented by Champion Fighters.

Then it transitioned to the Shuyan Domain, with the Will light sphere suspended in mid-air.

It looked down indifferently at the former homeland of the Mingwu Clan, which had changed hands, and the ruins of Ascension Clan’s buildings scattered across the sea, with four Rule Powers floating in front of it, extending Perception to look toward the direction of the Ancient God Arena.

The Mingwu Clan and Ascension Clan had fallen into ruin, becoming merely a backdrop for Shuyan.

The CG scene flashed by without lingering, yet that momentary visual impact cruelly declared a fact:

The old era has come to an end, and a new overlord has been crowned.

Ye Ming watched in silence, his face showing no expression, but a surging flame ignited in his heart.

The past is a settled matter, and his future will be rewritten.

Soon, all the lights and shadows retreated, and he found himself in a strange space.

All around was an endless pale blue Void.

Directly ahead stood a blue Crystal Wall, whose grandeur defied description by words.

The Crystal Wall was not solid, but seemed to be formed by countless flowing Source symbols, vast as the Star Sea.

Within the wall were divided grids, inside which floated countless Monster figures: Fire-red Eagle Head Monsters spreading wings and shrieking, Magma Giant Beasts with huge bodies, and various Elemental types of life forms, etc.

They are the foundations of Monster World, the derivative forms of the world framework: Primordial Monsters.

Here also marks the starting point to determine his future path: Character Creation Space.

As a rookie player, he could obtain a First Generation Origin Monster for free as his starting base.

Before entering the game, Ye Ming had already decided on his initial Source choice.

His gaze fell upon the 11th grid, where a Source Monster resembling a black cloud: Dusk Shadow was.

Dusk Shadow’s trait effect is that it allows players to enter Shadow Transformation state, ignoring any physical level damage.

Even at Level 1 trait, it can exempt all non-Rule System physical damage.

However, Energy forms of damage cannot be exempted, including Qi-Blood damage released in close combat or various Elemental damages.

Once his gaze focused, Challenger Tips echoed in his mind:

[Challenger Tips: Do you confirm choosing "Dusk Shadow" as your initial Life Soul?]

Yes!

In the next second, a new tip popped up in his mind.

[Challenger Tips: Initial Life Soul selection complete. Please name your player character...]

A brand new start, he gave himself a new title: Mist Commander.

[Challenger Tips: Naming succeeded; qualification officially activated; Hidden Task updated.]

[Hidden Task: Mingwu Army]:

First stage privilege: Consuming 5000 points of sacrificial power can resurrect one designated Mingwu Clan member.

Resurrection limit: 0/1000.

Requirement to open the second stage: Contain one Rule Territory 0/1 (Rule Territory type not limited).

...

Along with the appearance of the tips, a magnificent scroll imprinted directly into his consciousness emerged.

A gray mist emerging from deep in memory unfolded in his mind.

Within the mist stood countless vague yet deeply familiar figures.

They maintained their stances from life, some tightly holding Fog Blades, preparing for a charge, some casting magic, with fingers entwined with dim Mingwu Energy, some leaning on each other, as if defending the last stronghold...

Though their faces blurred and veiled their specific identities, Ye Ming could clearly sense the distinct aura of each Mingwu Clan warrior.

They silently stood within this void of consciousness, like sculptures frozen by Time.

Awaiting him to gather enough sacrificial power to bring them back from eternal silence.

This silent image possessed more power than any Inspiration.

It also materialized the heavy responsibility resting on his shoulders.

Ye Ming took a deep breath, consciousness exiting the revival space of the Hidden Task, refocusing his vision on the initial interface.

Three dynamic maps slowly unfolded from the interface, each presenting distinctly different regional appearances.

Left map: Fallen Star Sea Area.

The scene displayed a boundless azure, star-spangled islands dotting its surface.

In the sky, fragments of Stars burning with various colors of flames occasionally dove down, crashing into the sea, spouting water columns sky-high, or leaving craters on islands.
