“All right! Fine!”
Although Chu Fu didn’t understand, she respected her brother’s decision.
Before long, Shen Chi, Xie Lin, Jiao Jiao, Suture Saint, and Feng Huimin had all gathered outside.
Shen Chi summoned a mecha.
However, this mecha was only three meters tall and two meters wide. It looked as though it could seat only two people.
Shen Chi said, “We’re limited by our current conditions. I couldn’t make the mecha too powerful because we don’t have enough materials. Still, this mecha has been fitted with a Spatial Stone, so it can teleport through space.
“I’ll take you to the coordinates first. Once we arrive, you can open a Forest Spirit Passage and let everyone else come through.”
Chu Fu was just about to nod when Xie Lin said from the side, “It really is rather cramped in there. Just let Fufu’s contracted spirit go up. Once you reach the destination, you can open the Forest Spirit Passage in reverse.”
The moment he finished speaking, Xie Lin clearly felt two gazes stabbing into him.
One came from Shen Chi. It seemed to contain a silent accusation and a wordless question.
The other was filled with killing intent.
Xie Lin’s Heart’s Eye talent stirred faintly. He then kept his eyes straight ahead, pretending not to notice the enormous invisible presence nearby.
Chu Feng: Fufu is not someone you can call Fufu!
Chu Feng: That said, the suggestion itself is fine.
“Let’s do that,” he said.
Hearing this inexplicable voice, everyone’s hearts stirred. They understood what had happened, and their expressions became rather strange.
They had always felt that Chu Feng really, truly disliked the authorities.
Shen Chi entered the mecha cockpit, while Chu Fu sent one of her contracted Snow Lotus Spirits inside.
It was summer, after all. The spirit could help keep Shen Chi cool.
Shen Chi gave a helpless smile, then closed the mecha’s hatch and tore open a spatial rift, arriving at the designated coordinates.
Once he reached the location, Shen Chi sent Chu Fu a message.
Chu Fu opened a Forest Spirit Passage, and everyone walked through.
As soon as they arrived, a large number of people came forward as well. After passing through layer upon layer of checkpoints, they reached the tenth underground level, where they met Long Zhantian.
“This is currently the most heavily defended location in Flower Country. It is also the only institution in Flower Country equipped with a shielding array.”
Long Zhantian gave only a brief introduction. Unlike Li Weizheng, he did not show Chu Fu and the others around.
They were short on time.
He did not waste a single word.
Long Zhantian took out a set of documents and distributed them to everyone.
“Based on our investigations into the enemy, we’ve made a reasonable deduction. Their influence and ability to interfere rank as follows: Origin-level instances > future maps > game worlds along the normal timeline > the real world.”
Within Origin-level instances, the enemies truly existed there, and their apostles could appear whenever they wished.
In future maps, monsters of various levels could invade and launch an all-out assault.
In game worlds along the normal timeline, Werewolf Tuge could only operate within the Novice Village. For him to truly appear, certain means of ‘descending into the world’ were required—for example, a player joining the werewolf faction and offering themselves as a sacrifice.
As for the real world, the influence was weakest. So far, only Level 4 monsters had synchronized with reality. In another eight days, Level 5 monsters would synchronize as well.
The enemies had also been clearly identified.
The Wolf God, Goblin God, and God of the Undead.
The Titan God, Elemental God, and Mechanical God.
At present, even the strongest players in Flower Country could not enter Level 70 maps, so they had no idea what enemy forces awaited them in the next four maps.
But their current objective was already crystal clear.
Counterattack!
Clear more Origin-level instances, accumulate attributes, and kill the invading gods in return.
Gods?
Flower Country had never believed in the existence of gods.
Those who could be put to use were gods.
Those who could not be put to use were monsters—and would be beaten to death.
“Chairwoman Chu, your reminder has been of tremendous help to our analysis team. This Origin-level instance is a conspiracy targeting us.
“Today, we had Wale. Tomorrow, there may be a second apostle, or even a third. We have no choice but to guard against it.
“However, entering the Origin-level rifts is something we must do. Clearing Origin-level instances allows us to stack our attributes. Because of the cultivation policies of the [Gate of Origins], it is impossible to enter village-level and town-level Origin instances.
“But city-level instances have no such requirement. Everyone can support one another.
“Suppose there are ten thousand cities across the entire world, and we begin participating in the Origin-level instances of every one of them. That would allow us to obtain one hundred thousand attribute points.
“Of course, I know this is an idealized estimate.
“But what about Flower Country? We have one thousand cities and one thousand servers. That would give us ten thousand points to every attribute.
“Based on the fact that ten thousand attribute points are enough to use a Godhead, this should be the standard for becoming a god.
“But how do we ensure that the people participating from every corner of the country can obtain the full attributes from the Origin-level instance in every city?
“That is why we need your help, Chairwoman Chu, as well as yours, Mr. Shen Chi.
“Here are the coordinates of all one thousand server cities in Flower Country.
“At present, because of our rapid development, the four servers located in Dragon Capital will trigger the Level 30, one-hundred-thousand-player rule ahead of schedule and begin their city defense battles early.
“We’ll start the city defenses in batches and stagger their times.
“There are still eighteen days left. Each day, we’ll tackle fifty Origin-level instances and forge a group of invincible forces.
“Or, perhaps, we should call them teams of god-tier players.
“This plan has been named the God-Making Project.”
Chu Fu was not surprised in the slightest upon hearing this.
Based on her understanding of the original story, Flower Country had carried out the God-Making Project in every lifetime.
All available resources were poured into a select group of people to create god-tier players capable of resisting the invaders.
But once such a plan was truly implemented, it would become an exploitation of low-level players to fatten those at the top.
When the enemy’s strength became overwhelming, the upper-level players would flee whenever an attack came, while the lower-level players would die.
It was under such circumstances that Chu Feng had barely survived in the first lifetime.
In that first lifetime, the authorities in Linjiang City had been unable to defeat the Four Great Conglomerates. The conglomerates occupied the safe zone and ruthlessly exploited the survivors. The low-level players lived worse than dogs.
But could anyone say Long Zhantian’s decision was wrong?
Of course not. Without those god-tier players, how could they resist the countless monsters?
Take The Anti-Magic Teacher and Water Mage Loki, for example. Had either of them not fought with everything they had to protect their city?
As for those who fled, one could only say that people were capable of both good and evil.
Taking a step back, Chu Fu had now been reborn. She understood the plot and stood on the third level, so to speak. She knew how the current situation compared with the first and second lifetimes, and she was stronger now.
Clearing Origin-level instances meant creating a path through which everyone else could also reach breakthrough-level strength.
Long Zhantian’s plan was not wrong.
In fact, he had not been wrong even in the first or second lifetime. His mistake lay in having too few resources at his disposal.
Once resources became abundant, the God-Making Project would not create a single god, but countless gods.
This time, Chu Fu did not bargain at all.
She nodded without hesitation.
“I’m willing to cooperate!”
Shen Chi nodded as well. “Naturally, I’m willing too.”
This was their support for the entire plan.
Although Chu Fu was an important part of the project, putting such a plan into practice would be incredibly difficult.
