Those among the top too in the trials can be recognized on the Golden List, thereby receiving the rewards of heaven and earth.
What standard is used to rank the Golden List?
The ranking could be influenced by various factors such as the number of enemies killed, the efficiency of kills, the number of soldiers lost, whether the territory is destroyed, and so on.
Undoubtedly, the most crucial factor is the kill count.
Naturally, higher-level, higher-grade monsters carry higher ‘kill scores’. The exact weight of these factors is unknown, but the Trial Golden List, condensed by the rules of the Eternal World, is absolutely fair.
The strong rise, the weak fall.
Of course, during the trials, players are ‘passively’ killing monsters. Perhaps the powerful territories of new players can kill a wave of the Monster Tide more quickly and easily, but the kill count depends solely on the scale of the siege onslaught.
If there are too few monsters, even mighty territories can’t cook without rice.
However, such an awkward situation rarely happens.
The stronger the forces of the new lords, the more advanced and comprehensive the construction of the territories, and the broader the range of exploration and sweeping, the more prominent their presence becomes. It’s as if they are torches in the night; some torches only burn a few sparks and are not striking, while others are like the dawn torches that drive away the darkness, attracting countless evil spirits to rush over, wishing to extinguish the glaring and eye-catching torches.
The struggle for the Trial Golden List began at the very beginning.
Powerful new territories will shoulder more responsibilities, endure more violent assaults from the Monster Tide, but they are also more qualified to challenge the Golden List and receive favors from heaven and earth.
As for whether they will overreach?
Even when dealing with more violent Monster Tides, the top-ranked new lords can resist much more easily than most new lords, and there is almost no possibility of being breached by the Monster Tide.
It was like this in previous years.
“Ding!”
“Prompt: Your territory ‘Tianyuan Territory’ has successfully entered the trial list and is currently ranked 99th.”
The rank is not high.
After all, during the first wave of the Monster Tide, the Skeleton Warriors of his family didn’t kill quickly, more of probing in the fight.
The Golden List’s rankings are changing rapidly at this time, with territories constantly making the list and being pushed down.
In a while, his Tianyuan Territory has disappeared from the Trial Golden List.
“No rush.”
“The territory trials are a war of attrition, lasting at least two days. The later it gets, the more critical it is, whether it’s competing for ranking or… resisting the potentially fierce onslaught of the Monster Tide.”
Patience is an essential condition for stability.
At this time, monsters were still intermittently attacking the territory. There were only a few or tens of monsters at times when there are less, and hundreds or even thousands at times with more.
This was the situation Mu Yuan faced.
It’s almost the same for all the new lords, only facing a lesser level of attack, the danger level is not high for now. Despite this, none of the new lords dared to be careless, accidents can happen at any time.
Mu Yuan made a pot of tea in reality to refresh himself, and in the Eternal World, he also brewed some Calming Grass as tea.
Picking up the cup, he sipped the tea. Listening to the occasional roars and explosions outside, his mood was exceedingly calm, dull, in fact.
After all, without lifting a finger, Great Lord Mu managed to slay all the siege monsters outside the battle line.
He glanced at the Trial Golden List.
Several hours had passed, and Tianyuan Territory had already risen to the thirties. At this time, the ranking on the Golden List was more valuable. Mu Yuan also saw several familiar names in the top ranks.
At this time, the territory temporarily ranked first was ‘Da Ri Territory’. It seemed that this lord was one of the flagship new players pushed by the Red Lotus Group. The live room had started early and was bustling. While Mu Yuan was idle, he went to take a peek.
Indeed, the battle at the front of Da Ri Territory was fierce. Monsters came out from the dark far away. Mu Yuan even saw many Big Goblins, Skeleton Soldiers, Giant Wolves, Zombies, and other Three-Star monsters. But in the next moment…
One after another, brilliant golden lights shot out from a Watchtower inside Da Ri Territory, and each one of them instantly wiped out these troublesome Three-Star monsters.
The entire process took only ten or so seconds.
The bullet screen was filled with exclamations.
The camera also timely turned to the Watchtower and focused on a figure wearing golden armor, holding a faintly glowing golden bow, looking incredibly majestic.
“What kind of troops are these?”
This is just a rare one-star strong shooter, however, he has donned a set of extravagantly luxurious armor, holding a rare level war bow, and the arrows he fires are even accompanied by an explosive effect-an entry-level consumable. The arrows he shoots are not just arrows, they are money, such a waste!
“This must be the Red Lotus Group intentionally stirring up the atmosphere!
Mu Yuan sips on his lemonade just as he spots Seventeen on his own watchtower, a figure of elegant vigor, a rare three-star archer with exceptional natural beauty, yet only wearing basic initial equipment and equipped with ordinary arrows, he feels somewhat ashamed.
Next time for sure!
Compared to the fierce battle situation in the Da Ri Territory, things were quite calm here, the monsters didn’t seem too enthusiastic…
“Roar-!”
A deafening roar echoes from the darkness in the distance, the earth trembles, the few green plants in the territory rustle their leaves in response.
A Hurricane War Hawk takes flight, its sharp eyes capturing a giant and robust figure appearing under the red fog in the midst of the monster tide.
It has turquoise skin, a rotund body, muscles coiled like pythons, and even a height exceeding six meters – it’s terrifying beyond belief.
“It’s a rare two-star level monster, an ogre. Probably the one we couldn’t find earlier.”
It charges at an incredible speed, each step it takes cause a thumping sound, its solid paw leaving a clear footprint on the ground. Ordinary monsters in its path are knocked away like small toys.
Unstoppable, plowing through everything.
We cannot let it charge directly.
Mu Yuan’s mental power acts like invisible threads, dialing in to connect with Dead Bone, Duo Lai, Seventeen, Lu Liu and other generals, pulling them into a group chat.
General Duo Lai volunteers.
“Indeed, Duo Lai is suitable to take the enemy’s head amidst the disorderly army.”
Go ahead then, it’s decided to be you.
Grr~!
In its wild charge, the ogre with blazing red eyes still retains a strong innate instinct, and intuition for battle. The veins in its muscles pulse violently, and under the momentum, its body swerves sharply, leaping to the side.
The very next moment…
Boom I!
A massive object falls from the sky, brutally slamming the earth with a giant claw-like impact. The entire earth vibrates several times, causing dust and stones to rise several meters high. Ordinary monsters within the area of impact get blasted into the ground and crushed into pulp.
But, the wandering ogre narrowly avoids the onslaught.
Duo Lai, who has a certain level of combat experience, immediately changes shape. Its two giant iron palms clenched into fists, humming as it maxes out its power gauge, and pummels the ogre relentlessly.
Back and forth, the conflict intensifies.
Massive fists and wooden clubs clash continuously, making sparks fly, and creating multiple craters on the ground.
But this way, even if they fight until the universe falls into silence, they might not be able to beat this formidable ogre to death.
Duo Lai’s ability to attack at specific points is weak, this has always been its shortcoming, but now, under the guidance of Lord Shepherd, this shortcoming has been largely remedied.
Zap–
Duo Lai changes its fists to palms, numerous lightning arcs sprouting from its palm, immediately spreading to engulf the entire giant iron palm, forming a dazzling and brilliant thunderbolt palm.
But this is still not enough, not enough to handle this tall wandering ogre. Duo Lai pondered, when you need to be tough, you need to be tough. Being merciful at this moment would only make things worse. Biting down, it releases all the thunderbolt energy stored inside its body, which originates from the coil tower. It seems as though a bolt of lightning shoots upwards, illuminating the night sky. The uncontrollable thunderbolt energy dissipates in all directions, scorching the earth, destroying monsters, and causing the messy hair on the nearby ogre’s head to stand on end.
In front of the roaring ogre, Duo Lai lets out a roar that carries an immense momentum, and the thunderbolt enveloping its iron palm exponentially intensifies.
Its steel arm emits a creaking sound as if bearing a great burden, turning a burnt black and spreading inch by inch.
Duo Lai leaps and pounces, carrying an endless thunderbolt, its giant palm falling heavily, tearing through the lingering energy on the ogre’s body, smashing the giant wooden club being waved around, and then strikes heavily on the ogre’s massive blue head, like bursting an inflated ball.
Lightning streaks across the sky..
