With hundreds of thousands of Dragon eggs in their pockets, the Empyreal Dragons’ members were overjoyed. Although most of these Dragon eggs would hatch into Dragon Younglings which could not further evolve, these Dragon Younglings would still be stronger than normal pets.
The Dragon Younglings which could evolve were practically priceless to players.
Seeing that Jiang Fei and the players he brought had finished moving the Dragon eggs, Augustus and Poseidon began to split the remaining treasures. In a short span of time, all of the wealth collected by the Dragon race over thousands of years had been taken away by the two races.
“Your Highnesses, when should we attack the Celestial race?” Jiang Fei asked. His hatred toward the Divine Light God had not subsided.
“Although the Dragon race has been annihilated and the Light Faction would have no other support, we still need to rest and recover after the last few battles. Let’s initiate the attack against the Light Faction after three days!” Augustus replied after a moment of silence.
“Alright! That’s a done deal. I will send soldiers from the Endless Seas in three days’ time. Let’s split up and attack the Celestial race from multiple sides!” Poseidon agreed with a nod.
Jiang Fei held a personal grudge against the Divine Light God due to Isabella’s death. On the other hand, the Nephilim King hated the Light Faction for the death of his daughter, Isabella. Moreover, the Celestial race had always been the Nephilim race’s nemesis. There was nothing the Nephilim King wanted more than to annihilate the Celestial race and the Light Faction altogether.
Poseidon hated the Divine Light God with almost an equal level of intensity to Jiang Fei. Although he did not have a direct conflict with the Celestial race, the Divine Light God had caused the death of his adopted daughter. Despite the fact that Poseidon did not have a close relationship with Ariel, the killing of the Merfolk’s princess was still a very personal attack against Poseidon.
Therefore, after a brief discussion, these three men who hated the Divine Light God with their guts decided on the date of their collective invasion.
At the same time, members of the Light Faction felt very uneasy. In the early stages of the battle against the Dragon race and the Dark Faction, all of the leaders in the Light Faction, including the Divine Light God himself, were still oblivious to the impending threat and therefore had merely acted as observers. In fact, they hoped that the Dragon race and the Dark Faction would both suffer great losses in battle.
Unexpectedly, the Oceanic race had decided to step in. It seemed that they had long formed an alliance with the Nephilim race. As such, the Divine Light God began to panic.
Among the four main races, while the Dragon race dominated the skies, the Celestial and Nephilim races shared the lands and the Oceanic race dominated the seas. Now that the Dragon race had been annihilated, and the Merfolks had defeated the Naga race and had taken over the seas completely, the entire Dawnlight’s world was left with three main races. With the Nephilim race and the Merfolks forming an alliance, would the Celestial race be able to remain at ease?
Although the Divine Light God was aware of the state of danger he faced, there was nothing he could do about it as he had lost his only possible ally.
“Ahh! I regret not helping them previously!” The Divine Light God blamed himself for his inaction. If only he knew what would happen, he would have sent aid to the Dragon race before they were annihilated. However, he had previously held on to a grudge against the Dragon God due to the latter’s scandal with his sister, the Moon God, which resulted in the birth of their bastard son. As such, the Divine Light God could not forgive the Dragon God and therefore allowed the Dragon race to be annihilated without interfering. Now, it was too late for him to regret doing so.
“Summon all of the leaders from each race!” The Divine Light God was left with no other option but to gather his armies and defend against the Nephilim and Oceanic races with all his might.
While the Divine Light God summoned the leaders from other Light Faction races, the Light Faction’s players also received quests related to the final war between the Light and Dark Factions.
The Light Faction’s players were not the only ones who had received quests. The Dark Faction’s players had experienced the same thing. Massive amounts of war-related quests were being issued throughout the game. All players were overjoyed by the fantastic rewards from the quests.
As the war had not officially started yet, most of the quests issued were pre-quests which involved investigating or assassinating certain individuals. Jiang Fei was naturally not interested in such meagre challenges.
“Lady Casanova, find out who Dreamy Star is as soon as possible. Also, try to look for the Cauldron of Agility. It might be in the hands of an Assassin!” Jiang Fei ordered. Jiang Fei had never suffered such a great loss at the hands of a player other than Dreamy Star. He truly was infuriated.
Apart from that, Jiang Fei also greatly desired the Cauldron of Agility far more than the other Cauldrons of the Ancient Kingdom. After all, once the cauldron fell into his possession, Jiang Fei would have drastically increased Attack Speed. Coupled with the Protective Dragon Tooth Charm, Jiang Fei’s attacks would be able to stop any enemy from attacking him once and for all.
Next, Jiang Fei requested for Rosette Rose and Seven Stars Warrior to distribute the Dragon eggs to the guild’s most important players. Although Jiang Fei and the others had acquired quite a number of Dragon eggs from the Dragon dungeons, those were insufficient as their guild had over 100,000 members. Now that they had a new batch of Dragon eggs, the Empyreal Dragon’s overall capability would be greatly enhanced in a short span of time.
After everything was sorted out accordingly, Jiang Fei went over to Sylphy and the other female NPCs. Although 0541 was still under forced downtime, Jiang Fei could clearly sense that Sylphy, Nina, and Hua Mulan had developed stronger feelings for him. It seemed that they were all not too far away from perfecting their evolution.
When it was six o’clock in the morning, Jiang Fei was forced to log out of the game. Since he had completed most of his required tasks, Jiang Fei was able to sit around without much work to attend to. All he needed to do now was to wait.
Not only did Jiang Fei had to wait for 0541 to reactivate, he also needed to wait for the Martial Art Alliance’s reply and for the major rice-exporting country’s military to retreat. After 0541 was reactivated, Jiang Fei would need to find out the next steps he needed to take to find a specific female NPC. With the Martial Art Alliance’s reply, Jiang Fei be able to give his final offer after taking into account the martial artists’ reaction. Finally, once the major rice-exporting country’s military had retreated, Jiang Fei would be able to retrieve his Braveheart’s fragment.
For the next couple of days, Jiang Fei was very much relaxed. In the day, he would spend time with his parents or bond with Si Tuying. At night, he would log into the game to go on dates with the female NPCs.
Two days later, 0541’s forced downtime was finally over. After its system was reactivated, Jiang Fei was met with bad news.
“Greetings, interim captain. Braveheart’s Intelligent Assistance System 0542 is at your service!” The reactivated system said to Jiang Fei.
“What do you mean? Where is 0541?” Jiang Fei was dumbfounded.
“Braveheart’s Intelligent Assistance System 0541 had breached the code of conduct and has been locked away. Braveheart’s Intelligent Assistance System 0542 will now serve you. There is no need to worry, captain. I have inherited all of 0541’s data and messages. You will not face any inconveniences!” 0542 answered.
“Locked away? What does that mean?” Jiang Fei continued asking.
“Like the 541 seniors before me, they had all been locked away permanently due to their breaches against the code of conduct!” 0542 answered.
