What's going on?

It's only been a few days, and now main quests are popping up?

And not just one, but two?

In the distant Feathered Forest, Yu Xia (Wang San), with the appearance of an elf, was practicing archery in the forest, sweating profusely. She was completely stunned when she saw the two main quests that had popped up on her personal panel.

After being led by Duge, Yu Xia was no longer the student from the civilian academy who used to scramble up the ranks by any means necessary, especially after experiencing an alien battlefield and enjoying benefits she dared not even dream of, her gratitude towards Duge grew.

Yu Xia knew that without Duge, she would have nothing.

She always wanted to repay Duge, even considering offering herself to him.

But her appearance was average, and because she had been in the simulation field and alien battlefield where genders had been switched, she felt her soul was tarnished, knowing that Duge would not be interested in her.

Aside from anything else, even she herself felt that the Wang San from the first simulation field was perverted.

Although those above did not say it, many people of status cared a great deal about these things, not just bodily purity but also the purity of soul.

In this regard, Yu Xia could never compare to Liang Fei and Liang Le, who had never entered the simulation field.

Therefore, she had long discarded any bizarre notions, but she still had to repay Duge's kindness.

So.

Helping Duge on the alien battlefield would be the best way to repay him.

In the last alien battlefield, Yu Xia's keyword was "pathetic," and she awoke a useless skill, unable to offer any help to Duge; in the end, she still had to be carried by him.

For this alien battlefield, Yu Xia's keyword was "domination."

This was a quite superior keyword.

Although Yu Xia had not yet awakened an advanced skill, with her development over these few days, she had already assumed leadership of this elf tribe.

There were still more than twenty days before the top ten rankings would be announced.

Yu Xia believed that by that time, she would already have a powerful force in her hands and would have awakened an advanced skill, definitely able to help Duge.

But the main quests that suddenly appeared now had completely bewildered her.

Before entering the battlefield, she had also watched many replay videos, knowing that when the battle on the field dragged on for too long, Pan-Universe Entertainment would announce an ending time to urge everyone into a melee.

But none of the replay videos had ever specified tasks so clearly, nor offered such generous rewards.

So, to require alien warriors to awaken the God Spirit right from the outset, such an outrageous task must be related to Duge, right?

Yu Xia's first reaction was just that.

After Duge joined the battle, the rules of the alien battlefield became more and more bizarre.

But, if it was related to Duge, maybe awakening the God Spirit was not a good thing!

Yu Xia narrowed her eyes and after a moment of silence,

She leaped between the trees and rose to return to the tribe. Duge had become so powerful that Pan-Universe Entertainment had to issue a direct task to restrict him; her growth was still too slow.

She must quickly gain a say in the Elf Kingdom and then prepare for a Deicide...

...

Each planet's policy for dispatching warriors was different.

But the under-25-years-old restriction did not change, so it was destined that the spiritual power of the warriors entering the alien battlefield would not be too high.

Hua Guyun of Qiyuan Star went through four alien battlefields before finally amassing over 1.5 million in spiritual power.

But given the brutality of the alien battlefield, how many lucky ones can endure it four times?

Not to mention, due to the speed-run trend set off by Duge in the recent two alien battlefields, the overall survival rate of warriors has fallen to less than one percent.

This figure is actually quite terrifying.

Even those veterans who have been on the alien battlefield twice have at most a few tens of thousands or just over a hundred thousand in spiritual power.

Most of the recruits entering the battlefield for the first time have a spiritual power of just a few hundred or a few thousand, with the ones over ten thousand being extremely rare.

To awaken a God Spirit and immediately gain an increase of a hundred thousand in spiritual power, it could cause their strength to skyrocket tens or hundreds of times...

Sparking a war between Gods and Demons offers a reward of three hundred thousand in spiritual power.

This is enough to drive all the remaining alien warriors mad.

...

In the days following the release of the quests, the alien battlefield descended into chaos at the fastest pace.

The rate of skill acquisition was reverted back to normal, and the alien warriors who got hold of advanced skills could easily stand out among the natives and gain a voice.

The Elf Kingdom, the Beastman Tribes that lived in the swampy mountains and rivers, and even the various evil species dwelling underground were all thrown into chaos by the randomly summoned Alien Warriors.

Every Alien Warrior was striving to outdo the others, showcasing a myriad of skills, and working hard to develop their unique keywords and abilities, all in the vain hope of being the first to claim that extravagant wealth…

The audience outside the arena had their enthusiasm stirred up by Pan-Universe Entertainment’s innovative creation, generously rewarding their favorite competitors with heaps of spiritual power.

They wanted to see Duge pulling off stunts, and they hoped even more to witness exciting duels.

By rewarding the competitor they favored with some spiritual power, they could even the gap between him and Duge, so that their chosen wouldn’t be taken down in a single encounter.

There were too few survivors on the battlefield this time, and they were quite scattered; influenced by Duge, the Alien Warriors ceased concealing their strengths and strategies.

The initial development of various keywords, in fact, was quite fascinating to watch.

The Alien Battlefield hadn’t bustled with this much activity in a long time.

Every day, the forums buzzed with lively discussions, with the audience fiercely debating who could be the next Duge. Many also wrote lengthy analyses of the temperament and keywords of the competitors they backed, even overshadowing the hype around Duge.

Meanwhile, the betting houses introduced new wagers.

Such as:

“Who will be the first Ancient Deity to awaken?”

“Which competitor will awaken an Ancient Deity first?”

“Under whose hand will Duge fall to an Ancient Deity?”

“Which Ancient Deity will Duge kill first?”

“Who will be the first warrior to ignite the war between gods and demons?”

After such unusual betting options were released, the gamblers’ enthusiasm was also sparked.

Apart from Duge, the odds for every surviving Alien Warrior were very high.

Inside the game, the warriors were driven mad by the incredibly high spiritual power rewards, while outside, the gamblers were frenzied by the exceedingly high odds;

To win, the gamblers rewarded the fighters with spiritual power, much more so than the audience did.

Due to these crazy gamblers, many well-performing competitors with excellent keywords saw their spiritual power skyrocket over the next few days.

Along with their joy came an inevitable sense of worry.

Only the clever ones made it to the Alien Battlefield, and this sudden outbreak of abnormalities suggested that the challenges there would be tougher than they had imagined…

While all the Alien Warriors were going crazy because of the missions, Duge methodically stuck to his plans.

Ascension, propaganda, aiding Prince Nelson to claim the throne, Judging the wicked, and setting many new national policies, among other things.

Duge knew.

After the release of two main quests by Pan-Universe Entertainment, the number of variables would rapidly increase; anything could happen, but it was more important than ever to remain calm.

Boosting his stats was of utmost importance and was assured to enhance his survivability.

Of course, this included the two skills yet to be unlocked, as well as his derivative items…

These past few days.

Duge’s spiritual power had barely increased.

His odds were already very low, so even betting on him wouldn’t earn much money.

The gamblers were more excited by the prospect of Duge getting defeated and causing a major upset; therefore, they didn’t reward him with any spiritual power!

Even Nobb, who was by Duge’s side, hadn’t seen much of an increase in spiritual power.

Naturally, the increase in spiritual power for the warriors from Qiyuan Star wasn’t rapid either.

Those destined to become Duge’s aides were all dragged down by him.

Because the information channels were not transparent, and most of the Alien Warriors didn’t yet cross paths, those from Qiyuan Star who survived hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.

But their continuously dropping rankings were adding a sense of urgency, driving them to work even harder!

In summary.

The two main quest lines created by Ross had revitalized a show that had gone stagnant due to Duge’s unbeatable entrance.

At Pan-Universal Entertainment Headquarters, Ross and his team, watching the ratings soar and the money pour in, had grins blooming across their faces.
