Chapter 254 The Growth of Bloody Dawn
The base of the Xueli plane.
The City of Stars, a giant city worthy of being called a city of miracles, stands on this vast continent.
The city walls towered into the sky, as if they were about to penetrate the clouds, like an insurmountable natural moat, blocking all the fantasies of invaders. The lights in the city were brilliant, like stars, reflecting the stars in the night sky, making people feel as if they were in a dreamlike world.
Looking at the miraculous Star City in front of them, all the creatures who came here for the first time, whether they were believers and their families, or divine players, were shocked from the bottom of their hearts. It was difficult for them to imagine what kind of power could build such a city.
This city, built by a group of players, far exceeds any city in the player's plane in terms of scale and prosperity.
"This is the city built by the gods, the City of Stars! It is more magnificent than any main city in our empire. I can't imagine how many resources are needed to build a city like this?"
"This city wall is actually made entirely of meteorite iron, and it seems to be mixed with other rare materials. And the ground seems to be made of high-grade crystals that are helpful for cultivation. This is too luxurious!"
"The difference in spiritual energy between inside and outside the city is huge. Could it be that the spiritual energy of the entire plane has been gathered here?"
"These patrol guards are so strong. If they were in our place, they could be imperial guards. But here, they can only be guards."
"We are still developing the magic airship, but here we have a complete product. It looks even more powerful than what we advertised."
"That's a high-level suppression inscription..."
The young families who followed the caravan felt the prosperity of the City of Stars and talked about it a lot. They couldn't believe that there was such a prosperous city in the world.
Since coming to this plane, their hearts have never calmed down, as if they had suddenly come to a modern high-rise city from primitive society, and everything they see is new.
There are caravans constantly coming in and out, with no end in sight, like a long dragon. Day and night, they bring large amounts of local specialties to the City of Stars, or trade with other forces to obtain their own scarce resources, or exchange them for the unique currency here and then spend them directly.
This also makes the daily transaction volume of the City of Stars huge, and the taxes collected have reached an astronomical figure.
After so many years of development, even though Bloody Dawn had set extremely high standards in the beginning, the number of players coming here to trade has increased several times and is now close to one thousand.
One thousand people may not seem like a lot, but it also depends on who they are.
You have to know that the players who can come here, apart from anything else, their own strength alone has already reached the level of demigod.
A thousand demigods. Tsk tsk. Just thinking about it is a bit scary.
What's more, behind each of them is a super power with at least hundreds of millions of people. It is possible that there are even more than one of them. After all, some players have also joined other player organizations. Every time they come to trade, they may bring goods from multiple players.
The Bloody Dawn doesn't care about this. Anyway, the only player who can enter this plane is the one who is recognized. As for the believers and goods, they can arrange them as they please.
As for them joining other organizations? That's not a problem at all. Star City is just a trading platform and market, and it won't take care of such trivial matters.
Even in the Bloody Dawn, some members now have multiple roles.
For example, Poseidon, Pharmacist, and Black Marketer all have their own small circles.
Even the veterans are like this, let alone others.
It does seem a bit confusing.
Bloody Dawn is a relatively loose organization.
This is related to the original intention of establishing 'Bloody Dawn'.
When Glory and Blood God formed Scarlet Dawn, it was purely for trading purposes so that they could exchange special resources and make up for their own shortcomings through other members. As for how it developed into what it is now, we can only say that plans really can't keep up with changes.
The environment changed so quickly that everyone's plans had to change accordingly.
In the center of the inner city, there is a magic tower that rises as high as the clouds and is three feet above the ground.
This tall tower can also be regarded as the 'city lord's palace'.
The City of Stars does not have a designated city lord. Strictly speaking, this city belongs to all players of Bloody Dawn.
When attacking the Blood Dawn plane, all members of the Blood Dawn contributed to varying degrees, and the subsequent construction project also involved everyone’s contributions, so they all had some shares in the City of Stars, it was just a matter of how much.
As the Bloody Dawn grew stronger, gradually, things became more complicated and it was no longer as relaxing as before. One only needed to leave a few people to watch over and prevent people from causing trouble.
Especially as the players' strength increased and they all entered the realm of demigod and began to come into contact with players in the void near this plane, some disputes inevitably arose.
At times like this, the Bloody Dawn comes into play.
Not to mention helping to beat people up directly, at least go over and coordinate and give some support.
After all, most of the members of the organization in Bloody Dawn now come from the gangs of other veterans. No matter what, they are our own people and they should be protected.
But the people in charge of Bloody Dawn are rather lazy and don't like to be in charge of things.
So, after a few people discussed it, they decided to pick some people from outside the Senate, grant them the power, and let them manage on their behalf.
In the meeting room, five members of the Bloody Dawn were handling various matters at the round table.
"This year, the profits of Star City increased by about 15%, which is much more than in previous years."
"It's normal. There are new people coming in almost every year, and the strength of the original people is constantly getting stronger. The transaction volume will naturally increase, and naturally the tax revenue will also go up."
"More is better. The more taxes we collect, the more we get."
"Thirty-two players have applied to enter the Xueli plane and want to conduct transactions in the City of Stars. What do you think we should do?" One of the young men picked up a document, looked at the middle-aged man next to him, and asked.
Facing his companion's question, the middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "What else can I do? If they meet the requirements, they will be allowed in. If they don't meet the requirements, I can't do anything about it. I can't open the door for them, right? I'm just an employee, I don't have that much power!"
"hehe."
The young man who asked the question, Lin Huan, chuckled, scratched his head subconsciously, and said, "That's true, but there are four powerful demigods in there, and their strength is pretty good. If they join in, it will probably bring a lot of benefits."
Even though a lot of time has passed and many players have been promoted to powerful demigods, even so, powerful demigods are still considered strong.
Even in the Bloody Dawn, there are many members who are still among the high-level demigods.
"Xiao Lin, have a broader vision. He's just a powerful demigod. We have him too." Another member laughed when he heard that.
"Okay." Lin Huan nodded, then put the document down and went to deal with the next one.
"Wait. Show me the information of the applicants." The middle-aged man Liu Mo said.
Lin Huan was a little confused, but still handed over the document and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Liu?" "What else can I do? Of course I want to see if there are any members suitable to join." Liu Mo replied with a smile.
"But didn't you just say..." Upon hearing this, Lin Huan's face suddenly turned dark.
Liu Mo laughed, "We really can't break the rules and let them in through the back door, otherwise the boss will blame us and no one will be able to take the responsibility."
"So what are you doing now?" Lin Huan's eyes were filled with even more doubts.
"You are stupid, kid. Who said we have to open the back door to let them in? Look, how many people are we here?" Another older man couldn't help but point out when he saw Lin Huan so stunned.
Opening a backdoor for players who don't meet the standards and letting them in is too risky. Even if they are strong and have reached the level of powerful demigods, they dare not do so.
But as long as the three of them jointly nominate that player, then the other party meets the criteria and it will not be considered a violation of the rules.
"."
Lin Huan, who entered the meeting room for the first time, was stunned. He had never expected such an operation.
He said cautiously, "Is this still possible? What if there is something wrong with those people and the elders blame them?"
In Lin Huan's opinion, this was completely a loophole in the rules. If there was something wrong with the people who were let in, they would definitely not be able to escape responsibility.
"Of course, that's totally in line with the rules."
Liu Mo glanced at Him, patted the documents in his hand, and said unhappily: "Besides, I'm in the process of screening. I can't nominate just anyone, otherwise the Xueli plane would have been overcrowded." As he spoke, he quickly flipped through the list of information, carefully checking the information of each player.
Soon, He selected three people. "You can try to contact these three people. If you think they are suitable, you can recommend them together. Then, you can share the rewards equally. Old Xu, you are more experienced in this matter, so I will leave it to you."
"Row."
The older man looked up, took the document, and nodded silently.
"Brother Liu, He Dongming has sent another message for help, saying that they are about to fight." Another young man handed the document over directly.
Liu Mo took a quick look and felt helpless. He couldn't help but curse: "This guy, why is there so much trouble? At this time, several bosses are in seclusion. Where can I find a pseudo-god for him?"
“Then let Him just give up?” the young man asked in a low voice.
"This is not good. We have retreated once before. If we retreat again this time, where will we, the Bloody Dawn, put our reputation aside?" Old Xu frowned, not quite agreeing with the young man's opinion.
"But the other side is not a pushover. That small organization is not strong, and a few powerful demigods can easily wipe it out. But the power behind them is very troublesome, and it seems to be one of the top forces in the southern region."
The young man said helplessly: "Now the elders are either in seclusion, or we simply cannot handle the top masters on the opposite side. If we send too many people over, it might make things even more chaotic."
"Ugh"
Everyone looked at each other and sighed.
"Let him retreat first, and provide him with some resources from here, and then when the bosses are free, we will take the field back." Without the big guys in charge, they really don't have the confidence to fight the opponent. After all, if they are not careful, a war between two player forces will be triggered, and that is no joke.
At this moment, an indifferent voice reached everyone's ears: "I asked you to manage it, and this is how you manage it? You retreat when something goes wrong, what's the point of having you!"
Countless lights and shadows suddenly appeared, and then gathered together to form a figure.
"Your Majesty the Eternal Night."
"Boss Yongye."
Everyone stood up immediately, with surprise and joy on their faces, and greeted him respectfully.
"sit down."
Su Xingyu pulled over a stool and sat down, then took the document and glanced at it casually. "Don't worry about the strong man opposite. I will send people to keep an eye on him. Other matters can be arranged as they should be. Don't worry about things getting out of hand. If they really dare, the worst that can happen is a battle." As he spoke, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
"Yes." Everyone replied.
"If there is anything you can't decide, bring it over. I happen to have some time, so let's deal with it together."
A relatively remote dark void.
There are almost no planes with living beings here, most of them are dead and silent meteorites.
The spiritual energy is so thin that even the Void Beast dislikes the environment here.
Rumbling--
Suddenly, the entire void began to tremble, and then there was a sound of breaking glass. A tiny crack suddenly appeared in the dark void, and the breath of ancient wildness overflowed.
brush brush --
Several streams of light shot out from the cracks and flew rapidly towards the dark void in the distance.
One of the streaks of light flew an unknown distance before it was suddenly stopped in mid-air by a giant hand made of energy.
bang——
Even after flying a long distance, the stream of light still retained extremely strong energy, which almost pierced through the giant hand.
"what?"
A player appeared, looked at the ball of light that had just been intercepted, and then his eyes almost popped out: "Fuck, a semi-artifact."
The ball of light dissipated, revealing its true appearance: a semi-artifact long sword.
"Oh my god, what's going on? How come a semi-artifact suddenly flew over here?"
Rubbing his eyes, the player even suspected that he was hallucinating. Was he just lucky? A semi-artifact, he actually got a semi-artifact so easily, it was really weird!
He scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense and found nothing unusual.
"Fuck, who cares? Since it has no owner, and I got it, it's mine." The man grinned after using his spiritual sense to explore the long sword in his hand. He looked in the direction where the light came from, hesitated for a moment, then opened the door of space and returned to his original plane first.
