Chapter 322 The Past

Bai Ye's mind was a little hazy, and many past scenes flickered before his eyes.

Back then, the world battlefield had reached its end, and there were no longer so many regional divisions.

Most of the areas were either destroyed or merged.

In the end, everyone divided the world battlefield into only four zones: East, South, West, and North, plus the central area where the world battlefield exit was located.

East Zone: Double Bai, Bai Lu and Bai Ye!

The two of them dominated all the technological areas in the East Zone.

Bai Lu alone could destroy a city.

Bai Ye alone possessed the combat power of a city.

In the West Zone was Huang Quan, known as the Underworld King, who could summon an army of undead to roam freely. He once fought Bai Ye's mechanical army to a standstill.

No outsider could encroach upon the West Zone he controlled.

This was imperial power!

In the North Zone, two heroes clashed: Sword God Xia Zhi Feng and Demon King Heath Morass. They played the script of destined enemies, fighting fiercely day and night.

During the contest for the central area, they fought even more desperately, ultimately both perishing.

In the South Zone was Lilith Jerra, crowned with the title of Apostle, the only woman to receive divine power. At that time, many experts referred to her as the closest to god.

In fact, Bai Ye's reaching the end had an element of luck.

At that time, the person most people believed was closest to the central tower and could leave the world battlefield was Lilith Jerra.

Excluding the top-tier experts...

On Broken Sky Mountain, Situ Chi Cheng meditated on the way of the sword.

In the Nine-Layered Tomb, Dolonus meticulously trained his flying corpses.

In the Flying Thunder Heaven, Kasala tempered his Thunder Hammer.

By the Forgetfulness Sea, Ye Yue played barefoot in the water.

But did these named experts advance the course of the world battlefield?

No, absolutely not!

This matter had nothing to do with strength. Often, there were limits to what one person could achieve, no matter how strong they were. Things that couldn't be done, couldn't be done.

The progress of the world battlefield was fundamentally driven by regional exploration and the excavation of forbidden zones, which led to the massive emergence of God Stone fragments and large-scale battles.

Then...

To adapt to this pace, exploration and excavation of forbidden zones had to continue, in a cycle.

Therefore, what truly propelled the progress of the world battlefield...

Bai Ye believed it was the three major factions!

Namely...

The Hidden Dragon Society, the Evil Spirit Gang, and Flower Street.

These three major factions had a large number of personnel and could act in an organized and orderly manner. Their activity was the core driving force behind the world battlefield's progress.

To put it more directly...

Bai Ye's final battle in his previous life—the Central Area War!

Was the contest at that time between major experts?

Of course not!

The total number of combatants in that war exceeded ten thousand, making it the final battle and the largest in the history of the world battlefield.

And the majority of these people belonged to the three major factions.

There were only so many renowned experts, after all.

How could they initiate the Central Area War?

It was the three major factions that truly initiated the Central Area War!

They believed the time for the final war had arrived, and their respective factions were qualified to fight their way into the central area.

Thus, the Central Area War commenced.

Experts?

So-called experts were merely those who followed the tide of the era and joined this war.

And as it stands now, the Hidden Dragon Society has already taken initial shape.

This was unavoidable. The controllers of the Hidden Dragon Society were not even within the world battlefield. They were powerful individuals who had entered and then left the world battlefield, only to establish this organization in their own worlds.

Therefore, the Hidden Dragon Society possessed a natural foundation. At the beginning of their entry into the world battlefield, some of them were already allied.

Then, based on this group of people from the same world, they continuously expanded their influence, inevitably leading to rapid development.

As for the Evil Spirit Gang, which Bai Ye now faced...

Bai Ye had some understanding of them.

The Evil Spirit Gang was founded due to the oppression by the Hidden Dragon Society.

In order to establish an early advantage, the Hidden Dragon Society acted excessively. Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Then...

A man named Harvey Stanson found his opportunity.

He used the oppression of the Hidden Dragon Society to establish the Evil Spirit Gang, and Harvey was, in a certain sense, a prodigy.

In Bai Ye's memory, Harvey Stanson's personal strength was average. Supported by the Evil Spirit Gang, he could only barely be considered a top-tier contender in the later stages of the world battlefield.

Simultaneously, he relied on a large quantity of valuable resources, with his personal strength always being somewhat unsatisfactory.

Combat talent, after all, existed!

However, Harvey's talent in leadership was clearly maxed out.

He managed the Evil Spirit Gang by applying corporate management methods, establishing a hierarchical structure and assigning different departments to specific tasks.

After initially gathering a large number of people by exploiting the Hidden Dragon Society's oppression, he then used his excellent management style to stabilize and expand the Evil Spirit Gang.

In the early stages, they naturally could not compare to the Hidden Dragon Society. However, once the world battlefield passed its midpoint, the Evil Spirit Gang took off.

The Hidden Dragon Society's development hit a bottleneck, while the Evil Spirit Gang continued to develop steadily, eventually leading to a state of mutual opposition.

And if the Evil Spirit Gang could be considered a steadily improving entity...

Then, among the three major factions, Flower Street was exceptionally legendary.

Bai Ye did not know much about Flower Street. In fact, most people knew very little about Flower Street. They only knew that the leader of Flower Street was called Hua Zhi Xiao, and people referred to her as Sister Hua.

The rise of Flower Street was a complete mystery.

No one knew how Flower Street developed, yet one always heard news about them.

Although Flower Street was one of the three major factions.

However, before the outbreak of the Central War, the generally recognized major factions were only the Hidden Dragon Society and the Evil Spirit Gang.

It was not an exaggeration to say it was a two-horse race between these two.

As a result...

When the Central War began, Flower Street surprised everyone.

Flower Street showed everyone the reason for its terror.

Because, more than half of Flower Street's members...

Were actually members of the Hidden Dragon Society and the Evil Spirit Gang!

This inevitably brought to mind two words: infiltration!

But normal infiltration meant a single person hidden among a group. This was incredible; Flower Street's infiltration had resulted in at least a quarter of the members of both major factions being their own people.

And those renowned experts, who seemed to have no contact with Flower Street, were discovered to be Flower Street members when the Central Area War broke out.

Therefore, Flower Street truly made a name for itself in the final battle. It was at that time that everyone realized Flower Street's strength was no less than that of the Hidden Dragon Society and the Evil Spirit Gang.
