The Human Race star domain's connection to the "Heavenly Dao" game has only lasted a few months, but other star domains have been playing for years. The demon race in the Tenth Universe alone has been playing for over three years, not to mention the universe where the Seven Races reside.
Therefore, the vast majority of players from the Seven Races have long surpassed the level requirement to enter the New Mortal Continent. Just as Ye Yun took control of the New Mortal Continent, they almost simultaneously sent a large number of their armies and some players from their respective star domain maps into the New Mortal Continent.
To accommodate the sudden surge in player numbers from the Seven Races, Yue Di and the other six individuals personally funded the construction of fourteen sub-cities within a two hundred thousand kilometer radius around Cloud Sky City. This meant that each race now had four sub-cities under Cloud Sky City, all instantly upgraded to two-star territories.
Ye Yun's sub-city count now reached thirty-six. Although all were two-star territories, each could accommodate 192,000 players. Combined with the main city, Cloud Sky City, the total player capacity reached a staggering 7.1 million!
Aside from the main city, Cloud Sky City, which had only a little over three thousand citizens, the other sub-cities were nearly full. A large portion of these were casual players, those who logged in at the start of a new cycle and again on the fifteenth to collect rewards.
As the star-level of the territories increased, the required tokens reached an astonishing two hundred thousand. If the players within the sub-cities were unwilling to exchange them for contribution points, Ye Yun would have needed at least three more cycles to upgrade Cloud Sky City to three-star territory by collecting Tuoyun Tokens himself. Even with the players' help, he was still short by fifty to sixty thousand Tuoyun Tokens to reach three-star territory.
"Boss, since players started entering the New Mortal Continent, this is the first time all race players can coexist so harmoniously. Previously, they would fight on sight. Now, under your leadership, it can be said that a golden age has dawned upon the New Mortal Continent!"
In Cloud Sky City, Yue Di stood beside Ye Yun, gazing at the boundless territory below, and couldn't help but sigh.
It's important to note that in the entire Ten Universes, there are hundreds of billions, even trillions, of players at level 75. However, only a few million dare to reside in the New Mortal Continent for extended periods, as no one wants to be stuck in a sea of suffering for over ten days, which would be a complete waste of time!
Just a month ago, their Seven Race vanguard was still living a life of hiding and evading on this continent. Now, with the full deployment of resources, the strength of these six hundred individuals has grown exponentially.
Even Yue Di, due to the surge in his game attributes, has reached the pinnacle of the Great Sage realm in reality, just one step away from becoming a Lord God!
As for Ye Yun, he was truly astonished by the gains from this period.
From the nearly 3.5 million players across all cities, Ye Yun had extracted nearly 15.6 billion spirit stones!
15.6 billion, not gold coins, but spirit stones! One spirit stone is equivalent to ten billion! Coupled with the over 900,000 divine stones he had reserved, Ye Yun's wealth reached its peak! If he were to use this to train his army, the attributes of those four thousand soldiers could instantly rival the top ten experts on the talent rankings!
However, Ye Yun did not wish to do so. A complete army system is not merely about his unilateral contribution; it also involves rewards and punishments, merits and demerits, talent cultivation, and so on.
Furthermore, he was not yet the strongest. The prerequisite for enhancing them was his own sufficient strength!
Zhou Ningdong and others had taken the Four Great Legions for exercises, and even Ding Yi had gone with them. On Mily Island, aside from the construction workers, Ye Yun was the only idle person, so he plunged himself into Heavenly Dao.
In the New Mortal Continent, Ye Yun appeared within the Cloud Sky City Lord's Mansion. The entire Cloud Sky City was bustling with activity. Players from various races, who had come from their respective sub-cities, filled the city. Because they no longer needed to fight for resources, Cloud Sky City was filled with peace and harmony.
Although Cloud Sky City appeared lively, the actual citizens belonging to Cloud Sky City were only over three thousand players. They worked in various places within the city, not just to earn a little money but, more importantly, to gain contribution points!
"Master, Lord Xiao Hei has completed its evolution!" As Ye Yun was idly cultivating, he finally heard an exhilarating piece of news. After nearly twenty days of evolution, Xiao Hei had finally finished!
Just as Ye Yun was about to teleport out, Hei Yi entered first.
"Master, Xiao Hei has met Master!" Hei Yi strode in and knelt directly before Ye Yun.
"System Prompt: Congratulations to player Life Beast 'Hei Yi' for completing evolution. Hei Yi Evolution One: Life Form Level 6 → Level 7, Agility +100%, Pet's Exclusive Hidden Attribute Intellect +25; Evolution Two: Defense Basic Coefficient 0.8 → 1.0; Evolution Three: Locked distance with player 600 yards → 1800 yards; Evolution Four: Awakened Skill - Protect Master."
A series of system prompts exploded in Ye Yun's mind as Hei Yi knelt.
Oh my, during the first evolution, Hei Yi's base HP increased from 1.5 to 2.0. This time, its defense has increased to 1.0! Although its attack is only 80% of his own, its overall attributes have surpassed Ye Yun's!
Not to mention its agility increased by 100%. If Ye Yun didn't use the 'Teleport' skill, he would definitely be beaten by his own pet!
"What the heck is this hidden attribute 'Intellect'?"
Ye Yun was puzzled but didn't dwell on it. He walked over and patted the shoulder of the greatly transformed Hei Yi.
"Good, very good. It finally completed its evolution before the fusion of the star domain maps. My pressure has instantly eased considerably," Ye Yun expressed his great relief, his top fighter had returned.
Hei Yi: ...
Protect Master (Passive - Life Beast Exclusive): Automatically activates when the master is attacked and their HP drops below 10%. Life Beast's all attributes +50%, Agility +100%, automatically gains ten seconds of invincibility, immune to all damage.
Good heavens...
Ye Yun circled the still kneeling Hei Yi a few times, his enthusiastic gaze causing Hei Yi to swallow nervously.
"Master, Lord Xiao Hei is still kneeling..."
Yue Di, who had intended to slip away unnoticed, could no longer bear Xiao Hei's pleading eyes and forced himself to speak.
Damn it, how could he let his top fighter kneel for so long? Ye Yun excitedly extended his hands and helped Hei Yi up...
