Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

The Descender platform allowed one to post information, communicate with other Descenders, and even conduct remote transactions.

The platform had many sections, designed somewhat like online forums, and Players could also pay Star Yuan to create their own chat groups.

’In the Starry Sky, it seems Star Yuan is the main currency!’

It was a realization for Wang Yi. He continued to study the platform and discovered that the most active users in the High-Dimensional Divine Hall were mostly of the Adventurer class—in other words, what were commonly known as "Starry Sky Gods."

The system defined a Starry Sky God as an Adventurer Player whose level exceeded 100.

Some Starry Sky Gods joined a Royal Court or a Divine Country, while others remained lone wolves. There were also those who banded together for mutual support, forming factions, becoming Star Pirates, or establishing companies.

On the platform, Wang Yi found a post titled "Seeking to Purchase Reincarnated Starry Sky Gods." The poster was signed: "Divine Factor Technology Company"!

The post stated that the company was acquiring reincarnated Starry Sky Gods, primarily for researching World Law. They required live subjects, with purchase prices ranging from 10,000 to 1,000,000 Star Yuan, depending on the subject’s quality.

’So this kind of trade actually exists! To think people are playing the game like this... It’s true, once you become powerful enough, Mortals are no different from ants...’

Wang Yi shook his head slightly. He closed the platform and continued to study the functions of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall. He discovered that a Descender’s level was extremely important for activities within the Divine Hall.

The lowest Descender Level was D-level and the highest was SS-Class. A Descender Level could only be raised by accumulating experience from completing Descent missions. The higher the level, the greater the privileges, which was mainly reflected in the ability to accept missions.

Descent missions were issued by the system and also had level requirements. A Descender had to meet the level requirement to accept a mission.

All three of Wang Yi’s Descender identities were D-level, meaning he could only accept D-level Descent missions.

D-level Descent missions were generally simple and numerous, but their rewards were low.

Wang Yi noticed there were currently a total of three SS-Class Descent missions available.

The first was to descend into the "Hundred Battle Mountain" in the Fourth Dimension and eliminate the recently spawned level 500 War Soul Giant Beast. The reward for completion was one small Resource Planet and 1,000 Descent Points.

The second was to descend into the "Fourth Ark" in the Fourth Dimension and search for an item called the "Fourth Divine Form." Each Fourth Divine Form could be exchanged for 3,000 Descent Points.

The third SS-Class mission was to descend into the "Sealing Sacred Domain" in the Fourth Dimension and defeat "King You" within. The reward for completion was 1,000 Descender experience points, one Super Experience Book, and one Skill Enhancement Scroll.

’Hundred Battle Mountain? Fourth Ark? Sealing Sacred Domain?’

Wang Yi’s heart skipped a beat. These three locations were marked on his family’s heirloom Bronze Map, which meant they had existed for 129,600,000 years.

’These three places have existed for eons; they must be anything but safe. But even if I wanted to explore them, it would be pointless. My Descender Level is too low. I can’t go at all.’

Wang Yi stopped looking at the Descent missions and proceeded to study the "Points Shop" that was part of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall.

As the name suggested, the Points Shop was a window where one could spend Descent Points.

Numerous items were available for purchase, such as various Descent Coupons, Skill Books, Chaos Blind Boxes, Chaos Eggs, Universal Skill Books, Weapon Equipment, Reclassification Certificates, and more.

One could even exchange points for a [Perfect Resurrection Gemstone].

[Perfect Resurrection Gemstone: Exchangeable for 100,000 Descent Points. Ignores all restrictions. Automatically consumed upon the holder’s death, granting a perfect, unharmed resurrection with no items dropped.]

’One hundred thousand points for a single stone... The Perfect Resurrection Gemstone is great, but the price is too high!’

Wang Yi carefully examined all the items in the Points Shop and felt that, aside from the Chaos Blind Box, he didn’t need anything else.

The Chaos Blind Boxes in the Points Shop weren’t cheap, either. A Seven-Colored Quality box cost 1,000 Descent Points to redeem.

After familiarizing himself with all the functions of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall, Wang Yi left. For now, none of the Descent missions particularly interested him.

A moment later, Wang Yi released the eight Starlight Rivers he had refined earlier, setting them up as Starlight Arch Bridges throughout his territory.

’The death gratuity gave me too many Chaos Crystal Stones. Now, I can go refine even more massive Starlight Rivers!’

As Wang Yi mused to himself, he headed to the Wukong Dojo and constructed the Great Spirit Mountain within it.

The Great Spirit Mountain immediately increased the Wukong Ecosystem’s Evolution progress by 30%!

’The Wukong Ecosystem might be the first to complete its third metamorphosis. I wonder what an Eco-Dominator with divinity and an independent personality will be like?’

Filled with a little anticipation, Wang Yi spent a full three days exploring the Great Spirit Mountain by himself.

From the outside, the Great Spirit Mountain looked like a mountain over a thousand meters tall, covering a dozen or so square kilometers. But when factoring in its folded spaces and hidden Secret Realms, its internal space spanned hundreds of li!

Wang Yi discovered that not only could Spirit Stones be gathered in the Great Spirit Mountain, but it was also home to many rare Exotic Beasts and precious plants. Checking its information panel, he found that it could naturally spawn Spirit Beasts like great pengs, white-furred rats, and jade-tailed bees, as well as high-level Spirit Plants like Lingzhi and ginseng.

’One Great Spirit Mountain and sixteen Fangcun Mountains... my Wukong Dojo is finally taking shape. I just wonder when a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land like this will start to feel lively. There are still too few residents in the territory!’

Wang Yi sighed to himself. He then used the Eco-Core’s ability to create some World Seeds before using a Town Recall Scroll to travel to Yamero Star.

The territory’s ascension had no effect on Yamero Star; its people continued to live their lives as usual.

’Thanks to the death gratuity, I don’t really need the Chaos Crystal Stones from Yamero Star anymore. There’s still a demand for metal ores, but the most precious resource here isn’t ore—it’s the Starlight River. I can refine one while I’m here.’

Wang Yi gazed at the sky of Yamero Star. A moment later, he found a level 12 Ye Qitian, a level 26 Xue Shentian, and a level 38 Li Mingli at the Super God Football stadium.

The three of them were dressed in jerseys, acting as head coaches and explaining tactics to their players. It looked like a soccer match was about to begin.

Wang Yi gathered the three of them and spoke slowly. "You are Chaos Lords, but your territories no longer exist. I am now offering you a chance to have your own independent territories and start over. But your territories will become affiliated territories of my Strongest Royal Court. What do you say?"

"The Strongest Royal Court?"

"That name is just asking for trouble! Wait, your territory was promoted to a Royal Court?"

"You’re saying we can start over?"

Ye Qitian and the other two were skeptical.

Wang Yi said, "Gather your players. Whoever is willing to follow me to the Royal Court World should assemble here in three days."

"For real?"

"You’re not going to make us keep mining?"

"This isn’t a trick, is it? If we leave now, what about the soccer match?"

Ye Qitian and the other two immediately put their heads together, whispering amongst themselves.

"This is a rare opportunity. Whether you want to become Affiliated Lords is your decision. I will be back in three days."

Wang Yi’s expression was calm. Starlight appeared beneath his feet, and with a single step, he teleported several hundred meters away.

A short while later, Wang Yi found a Starlight River more than five thousand kilometers long. It was the longest one he had discovered to date. Refining it would require a whopping 5 billion Chaos Energy.

’It’s only five billion. I’ll refine it!’

Wang Yi was flush with resources now. He took out his Chaos Crystal Stones and used them frantically. A moment later, he had accumulated 5 billion Chaos Energy and, without any hesitation, immediately began the Refinement of the five-thousand-kilometer-long Starlight River.

At that very moment, in the Fourth Dimension, beyond the Starry Sky, a Starry Giant Beast fully ten thousand meters long was slowly approaching Wang Yi’s territory.

This Starry Giant Beast resembled a whale. It was named [Base Fusion Insect], had skin like rock, and was level 360. A white-haired man stood atop its head.

The white-haired man stared at the bubble-like world barrier ahead. He had already received a system notification informing him that he was approaching the "Strongest Royal Court."

"The Strongest Royal Court? A newly ascended one, is it? I’ve seen at least three Royal Courts with this name, and all of them have been destroyed."

The white-haired man chuckled, then said to the Giant Beast beneath him, "Charge! Since we’ve stumbled upon it, it’s time for a little robbery!"
