Chapter 163 Players' Trouble, Spirit of Fortune
As the supreme ruler of the empire, every move he makes will have a huge impact, let alone something as big as resignation.

There was no surprise. Even though it had been warmed up in advance, the resignation of the consul still caused a huge wave within the empire.

After all, the people of the empire can be said to have grown up listening to stories about the "patriarch". From the small Red River tribe to the super empire that now dominates the East Continent, the "patriarch" has played an irreplaceable role in it.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem for Su Xingyu to be called a "legendary figure" within the empire.

Now that such a legendary figure is about to resign, it is normal for the people of the empire to be affected. If it were not for the gods, some people would even suspect that someone is going to persecute the "patriarch".

Of course, no matter what the empire’s response was, Su Xingyu’s goal of resigning was achieved.

The position of consul has become vacant, so naturally someone has to take over and sit on the position of the supreme ruler of the empire.

The empire cannot be without a ruler for a day.

For a huge empire, even if the whole country does not move in completely unison, at least it must be unified in the general direction.

The more powerful the force, the more it should avoid indecision and wavering.

To put it bluntly, taking the wrong path is better than wavering left or right.

After all, with the strength of the empire, taking the wrong path does not mean that it will not work.

Swinging left and right is completely internal consumption.

Su Xingyu already had a candidate for the second consul, and that was his adjutant, Ye San.

Since the Eternal Night Empire was still a tribe, Ye San had been following him and assisting him in handling government affairs.

Whether considering ability or other aspects, Ye San is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Have ability, prestige and connections.

Apart from him, Su Xingyu really couldn't find any better candidate.

After a series of complicated procedures, Su Xingyu resigned from the position of consul and handed over the two items that symbolized status and power, the crown and the scepter, to Ye San.

"Come on, the future of the empire depends on you." Patting Ye San on the shoulder, Su Xingyu said with a smile, then turned and walked into the temple.

“……” Watching him leaving, Ye San remained silent for a long time.

…………

Although Su Xingyu's resignation had a significant impact within the empire, it was gradually smoothed over with the passage of time.

After all, people always have to look forward. Looking back at the past cannot change the present.

Besides, the patriarch just resigned, not died.

Under Ye San's leadership, the empire was no different from before, because before that, it was actually him who handled the empire's government affairs and led the empire forward.

After the plane was promoted to the medium realm.

The first and biggest impact is the increasing concentration of spiritual energy.

This is a far more outrageous improvement than the world's blessing.

All the tribesmen who felt this impact remembered that it was the same decades ago, when the concentration of spiritual energy in the world began to increase wildly.

However, it is all about the improvement of spiritual energy. What is different from decades ago is that this time the empire has become completely stable.

There are no longer any security risks in the territory they control.

Therefore, for the empire, the impacts brought about by the increase in the concentration of spiritual energy are all positive.

As for outside the empire, it has nothing to do with them.

The Empire's army only protects the Empire's people.

According to the empire's speculation, this spiritual energy boost will last for about a year.

After the upgrade, the average spiritual energy concentration of this plane will reach 5.5 to 6.5 times of the previous level. As for the black soil plain, it will be 10 times or more.

It is now raining spiritual energy next to the spirit gathering tree in the center of the city. It is estimated that a spiritual energy pool will be formed after a while.

Cultivation becomes simpler.

Internally, it is stable development, and externally, it is conquest and expansion.

The Eternal Night Empire is like a greedy beast that is never full and needs to keep devouring things.

They don't want to stop, and they can't stop.

The rapidly growing population of the empire forced them to continue expanding.

Now the entire Eastern Continent is full of people from the Empire.

Just like planting radishes, sometimes a dozen people can occupy a large territory.

After all, with the quality of the empire's people today, defeating these indigenous tribes of the plane is a complete crushing operation. It's simply too easy.

A dozen veteran soldiers could recruit a few hundred servants, take out a loan to buy some equipment, conquer a few indigenous tribes, divide the territory, and instantly transform themselves from citizens into nobles.

If you encounter a tribe that you cannot defeat, just call for support from the empire and send regular troops over.

Even if the empire's elite are undergoing transformation, the ordinary imperial army alone can sweep across the world.

There is no way, the strength is too strong.

Ordinary imperial warriors have at least reached the middle level of the extraordinary rank, and are well-equipped, with each person wearing a gold-grade suit. Compared with other indigenous forces, this can be considered super elite.

opponent?

There are no opponents anymore.

At least on the East Continent, the Eternal Night Empire can no longer find an opponent that can match it.

……

Players from the entire middle realm.

After experiencing the initial sense of novelty, they all entered a state of stable development and began to farm in their own planes.

Some players who are not strong enough gather together in one area. They cooperate with each other, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and improve their own strength.

Players with stronger abilities will occupy an area of ​​their own, develop on their own, and begin to prepare for their own path to becoming a demigod.

no way.

The sixth-level legion can be accumulated over time.

They also have more or less several sixth-order legions, and as time goes on, the number of sixth-order legions in their forces will increase, and they may even achieve the achievement of having the entire army at the sixth order.

But the seventh-level legion is completely different. Without the conditions of the Eternal Night Empire, the birth of the seventh-level legion cannot rely solely on the accumulation of time, but also requires a bit of luck.

In other words, even if resources are sufficient, their tribe will reach a bottleneck in the near future.

Their foundation will become stronger and stronger, but their strength level will not change much.

Therefore, they unconsciously transferred the object of improvement to themselves.

They began to improve the strength of their own gods, striving to enter the demigod realm as soon as possible.

As for their respective clans and tribes, they will continue to develop and expand on their own.

It should be mentioned here that the closure of shops has had a significant impact on many players.

In the primary realm, the development of many players' forces was somewhat distorted, more inclined towards combat, and their independent production capacity was slightly insufficient. Let's not talk about anything else, just the most basic food.

It is impossible for players who are frantically expanding their territory and whose population is rapidly expanding to be self-sufficient.

Even Su Xingyu's Eternal Night Empire has not achieved complete self-sufficiency. Its food self-sufficiency rate is only about 50%.

Originally, he should have had more land, but part of it was placed on those plane fragments, and he sold it all at the same time.

This resulted in a significant reduction in production.

The fact that we can still achieve a 50% self-sufficiency rate has a lot to do with Su Xingyu himself forcing the empire to farm. Otherwise, if mining is so profitable, why would we farm at all?

In the past, like those players who were short of food, he also exchanged crystals for basic supplies such as food.

However, what makes Su Xingyu different from other players who are short of food is that in addition to food, he can also use spiritual materials to refine special potions to fill the food gap in the empire.

Using medicine as food is undoubtedly an extremely luxurious act, but it can also be a life-saving measure at critical moments.

The disappearance of the system store instantly put many players into an embarrassing situation.

They had thought that after being promoted to the intermediate realm, they would be cut off from information communication with the primary realm, but they did not expect that the shops would be closed.

If there is not enough food, the population cannot grow rapidly. If the population does not grow, the expansion of the clan’s power will slow down, which will lead to a series of impacts.

Therefore, the first thing many players do when they arrive at the middle realm is not to explore changes in the environment, but to run to the City of Gods to find food traders.

At this time, the benefits of being organized are reflected.

Members of the Bloody Dawn can ask their "little brothers" in the primary realm to help collect the goods, and go to the City of Gods to trade regularly every once in a while.

Others have a lot of trouble, and sometimes they have no choice but to buy second-hand food at high prices.

Although everyone has their own little problems, overall everyone has entered a magical stage.

Weak players enter a stage of explosive growth. Relying on the terrifying concentration of spiritual energy, they increase the strength of their clan warriors and fully enter the era of mid-level transcendence.

Slightly stronger players will enter the extreme stage, converting their accumulation into combat power, first sending out a few sixth-order legions to reach the limit of their clan.

As for the stronger players, they have entered the transformation stage. On the one hand, they try to create a seventh-level legion, and on the other hand, they work hard to cultivate and condense their divinity in order to enter the demigod stage as soon as possible.

It can be predicted that the intermediate realm will remain in this state for a long time in the future.

Until the player has the strength to step into the void.

The minimum requirement to step into the void is——

Demi god.

…………

This plane.

Very far away from the Eternal Night Empire.

Endless sea, isolated island on the sea.

The island has a complex and diverse terrain, with steep peaks, deep canyons, winding rivers and vast beaches. The vegetation here is lush, with lush green forests and towering trees that reach the sky. It is completely unaffected by civilization and exudes a primitive and wild atmosphere everywhere.

Even in such a desolate place far away from the world, there are still human beings living.

On the outskirts of the island, there is a small tribe of only a few hundred people, who are struggling to survive here.

The tribe was extremely simple. The outer walls were made of wood and covered with sharp thorns. There were also two "watchtowers" where tribesmen were patrolling at all times.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened and the tribesmen who went out hunting came back.

They are tall and strong, with well-defined muscles, and look extremely strong.

They are generally two meters tall, wearing animal skins, with various paints on their faces, holding various iron and wood mixed weapons, carrying simply processed prey on their backs, and a fierce aura rushing towards you.

The entire tribe has only seventeen hunting members, who are generally young and middle-aged people in the tribe and are the bravest members of the tribe.

According to the classification of extraordinary ranks in other places, most of their members have reached the middle level, and a few young men are slightly worse off, only at the third level.

As for the strongest middle-aged man, he reached the sixth level.

"Uncle Fang, you're finally back. It's almost dark." In the tribe, a sharp-eyed boy spotted them and immediately went up to them with excitement on his face.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man with a circle of unknown animal fangs hanging around his neck walked up quickly, touched the boy's head, and laughed, "Yes, I'm back. I hunted a blood-thirsty tiger today. I'll process it later. You can drink tiger meat soup tonight, and I'll give you tiger blood for body building tomorrow."

"Great! I want to become as strong as Big Brother Stone, and then go out with everyone to hunt ferocious beasts..." The young man shouted happily when he heard that.

"Haha... then you have to work hard. Your brother Shitou persisted until a whole sunset." A young man in the hunting team said with a smile.

"Okay, Xiaohu, don't stop your Uncle Fang and the others. They are very tired after being out for a day. If you have anything to say, we can talk later. Let them in first." A middle-aged woman rushed over and pulled the boy aside.

After handing the prey over to the women in the tribe, the hunting team quickly dispersed. Some treated their wounds, some went back to their houses to rest, and those who still had energy went out to exercise.

The leader of the hunting team, the strongest man in the tribe, a middle-aged man named Fang, did not rest or exercise, but came to a house in the center of the tribe.

bang bang...

He knocked gently on the wooden door, carefully controlling his strength for fear of accidentally breaking it.

"Who?" an old voice came from inside.

"Master Priest, it's me."

"Fang, come in."

Fang pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as he stepped in, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

Inside the room, there were medicine bottles and stone bowls placed everywhere. An old man with gray hair and a slightly aged appearance was concentrating on mixing herbs. Although his hands were covered with wrinkles from the years, they were still steady and powerful, and his skillful movements revealed his superb skills.

Seeing Fang coming in, the old man just looked up and then ignored him, continuing to concentrate on fiddling with the herbs.

After closing the door, Fang did not urge him, but stood quietly by the side, watching the old man make the ointment.

After about half an hour, the old man finally finished. He looked up at Fang and asked, "Did the hunting go well today?"

The old man is the tribe's priest and pharmacist. He is also the oldest member of the tribe and one of the few wise men.

"Well, those beasts are getting stronger and stronger. Four more members of the hunting team were injured today."

Fang nodded. "The competition in the core area is getting more and more intense. Many big beasts have fled to the periphery. If this continues, let alone hunting beasts, I'm afraid the survival of the tribe will be affected. Master Priest, we should make a decision. Either leave here, or..."

"Do you want to believe in that unknown god?" The priest asked with a serious expression, looking at the man.

"Ah."

Fang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "We have no choice. Let's not talk about leaving here, what about those ordinary tribesmen? Even if we are lucky enough to leave alive, where should we go?"

Half a year ago, a mysterious being contacted them and wanted them to offer their loyalty and faith, and he would give the tribe divine blessings so that they could survive, develop and grow stronger.

That mysterious being, calling himself——

good fortune.

"Ugh……"

The priest sighed and said, "I am old now. The future of the tribe belongs to you young people. You decide for yourselves."
