Chapter 468 - 184: All Eyes on the Forum Debut and the Super Divine Artifact’s Second Inheritance

And just like him, countless other players had entered all sorts of special Secret Realms over the past week. Although they lacked Secret Realm Refresh Scrolls and couldn’t enter multiple realms alone, the sheer size of the human player base was a significant factor. Since these Secret Realm instances were currently the only way to obtain enhancement items aside from inherited game abilities, every human player wanted to give one a try.

As a result, out of tens of millions of players, some were bound to fail. In fact, their numbers were not small. For every failed Secret Realm, the remaining monsters would be inherited into reality, with either their numbers or their Combat Power multiplied by ten thousand.

Fortunately, the vast majority of these monsters that manifested with ten-thousandfold power stayed in the immediate vicinity of their respective Secret Realms. Aside from blocking players from re-entering, they hadn’t formed into monster tides to attack settlements or cities. Because of this, Shen Fei hadn’t been in a hurry to deal with these ten-thousandfold manifested hordes before.

Now, since he was using the Teleportation Array to traverse the various corners of Great Xia, he might as well take the opportunity to clean up these manifested monsters in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if these monsters continued to gather, the hordes might explode into chaos. If that happened at a time when he couldn’t spare a moment, certain places would be in grave danger.

And the probability of him being unavailable was quite high. After all, he was about to enter a special area where communications would be cut off. I really might not be able to get away...

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

Moving at incredible speed, Shen Fei zipped across the entire territory of Great Xia, heading for every location where a ten-thousandfold manifested monster horde was located. He then commanded his now abundant supply of Defense Towers, effortlessly using Cluster Attacks to instantly annihilate all kinds of monster hordes.

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

Shen Fei struck swiftly as he moved, and at the same time, all sorts of combat notifications spammed his personal interface.

[Ding!]

[You have leveled up to Level 145!]

A little over half an hour later, as Shen Fei finished visiting nearly every recorded location of the ten-thousandfold manifested hordes, a flash of light once again enveloped him. He had leveled up again! By annihilating all sorts of monsters, he had gained three and a half levels in a row.

WHOOSH!

After sweeping across all of Great Xia, Shen Fei’s vision blurred, and in the next moment, he was back on the walls of Qing City. The ten-thousandfold manifested monster hordes that had been building up were wiped out by him in one go, and the massive, once-a-week monster tide outbreak was being effortlessly held back by the Defense Towers he had placed.

This time, after the inheritance of game abilities, the obvious problems seemed to have all been solved. However, Shen Fei knew very well! The real trouble is yet to come! I can’t celebrate too early...

"Bro!" a voice cried out. "We can’t hold them anymore! It’s up to you now!"

Shen Fei had just teleported back to the walls of Qing City to catch his breath when he received Sun Yu’s call for help. Shen Fei hadn’t placed any Defense Towers in Qing City. Although the city had a large number of Tower Masters who had just inherited a new wave of abilities, they were facing a full 36 separate monster tides. They had managed to hold on for over half an hour without his help, and by now, the players with mandatory quests had all completed them. But now, Sun Yu’s cry for help finally came through. If Shen Fei didn’t act, they truly wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer.

WHOOSH!

In response to Sun Yu’s plea, Shen Fei didn’t hesitate. He waved his hand and deployed his Defense Towers. The overwhelming tide of monsters that had densely surrounded the nine Neutral Cities on the outskirts of Qing City was instantly annihilated.

Thanks to the precise control granted by the various Gem Arrays, Shen Fei’s Defense Tower attacks had become far more refined and elegant.

WHOOSH!

The monsters were instantly cleared, and the pressure around Qing City immediately vanished. Seeing that it would take several minutes for the next wave of monsters spawning from distant lairs to arrive, all of Qing City’s defenders collapsed to the ground to rest. They had fought for over half an hour without Shen Fei’s intervention, and only now did they realize just how difficult it was to fend off so many monsters.

WHOOSH!

The monster tide was being held back as hoped, and Zhao Li also reported that he had led his men to swiftly eliminate the ocean NPCs who had come ashore. Shen Fei, whose mood hadn’t relaxed at all, opened the Forum while he waited.

Tonight, everyone would inherit their game abilities, but not everyone would be attacked by a monster tide. Nor would everyone have to guard against being kidnapped by NPCs emerging from the ocean. Some players living inland, and not in Neutral Cities, had a particularly quiet night after inheriting their abilities. Aside from a very small number who received mandatory quests, most people didn’t have much to do after inheriting their game abilities for the fourth time.

Originally, these players who inherited abilities outside of Neutral Cities were supposed to be fighting game monsters that randomly appeared in their surroundings. However, as Shen Fei teleported all over the world annihilating the ten-thousandfold manifested hordes, he had also incidentally cleared the monsters near every settlement. As a result, these players, who should have been busy defending their homes, were left with nothing to do.

So, what could they do? They could log on to the Forum.
