Chapter 569: Dimensional War
The two continued flying for about eight minutes, and then they saw a giant tower 1,500 meters high rising from the ground, surrounded by four giant towers 800 meters high.
Gu Qingchen led Lin Feng to land in front of one of the giant towers, which was 800 meters tall.
The base of the tower is surrounded by a spacious circular plaza with a diameter of three kilometers, the ground of which is covered with obsidian crystals.
"That one in the center is the Throne Tower, which is also the residence of Viscount Eternal Night, but he doesn't usually live here."
Gu Qingchen said, "This time we just need to find the sheriff to complete the formalities."
After saying that, he led Lin Feng toward the giant tower's gate.
...
Ten minutes later, with the certification of a senior sheriff in Eternal Night City, Lin Feng officially incorporated the Blue Star plane into the management sequence of the Gate of Eternal Night.
From then on, the Awakened Ones of the Blue Star plane only needed to obtain a pass from the sheriffs in various parts of the Beacon Territory to enter and exit the Gate of Eternal Night at any time.
Of course, if you want to travel to other dimensions, you still need to obtain the corresponding dimension's access token.
After completing the formalities, Gu Qingchen led Lin Feng out of the giant tower's main gate.
"Lord Lin, to tell you the truth, the reason I came to pick you up at the teleportation plaza today is actually because I received a mission from the Human Race Unity Association."
Gu Qingchen stopped and spoke in a more formal tone, "Now I formally invite you to join the Human Race Unity Association."
Lin Feng did not rush to agree, but cautiously asked, "Lord Gu, what restrictions are there after joining the Tongxin Society?"
Gu Qingchen seemed to have anticipated this question and explained with a smile, "There are basically no restrictions. The original intention of the Tongxin Society was to facilitate the exchange of intelligence among humans and to resolve internal conflicts."
Of course, some valuable intelligence needs to be purchased, or you can issue missions.
After all, we're in the Nightmare faction, meaning we not only have to compete with other races, but also with enemies outside our faction for survival.
Lin Feng nodded: "I'm willing to join."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingchen's smile deepened: "Good, that's great! Welcome Lord Lin to the Alliance. Our base is located in the Forge Alliance District. We will notify you in advance of any future meetings."
Lin Feng then asked, "Lord Gu, could you elaborate on the enemies outside our faction that you mentioned earlier?"
Gu Qingchen's smile faded, clearly indicating that he had been prepared.
A very thin, dark booklet appeared out of thin air in his palm. It was only the size of a palm, with no words on the cover, but a symbol resembling a love knot was imprinted in the center.
"This is the 'Introduction to the Tongxin Society' prepared for new members."
He handed the booklet to Lin Feng, saying, "The questions you want to know are all answered in detail here."
Lin Feng took the booklet.
"Keep this for now and look at it slowly when you get back. I have some things to take care of today, so I won't accompany you around. Come to the Forge Alliance area another day, and I'll treat you to drinks."
"Until we meet again." Lin Feng took the booklet but didn't immediately flip through it.
Gu Qingchen didn't say anything more, and took off into the air, flying towards the northeast.
His figure gradually shrank after passing the top of the first secondary tower, and soon blended into the distant horizon.
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and opened the book "Introduction to the Tongxin Society" in his hand.
The concentric knot pattern on the cover glows slightly, and a line of dark gold words slowly emerges on the title page: "Nightmare without end, unity is the shore."
The writing only lingered for three seconds before turning into specks of light and dissipating, as if it had never existed. Yet, those eight characters were deeply imprinted in Lin Feng's heart.
He turned to the second page and continued reading, but the more he turned the page, the more his brows furrowed.
After reading it all, he closed the booklet and stood there in silence for a long time, a strange sense of absurdity rising in his heart.
The Nightmare faction's mortal enemy is actually the human race, and specifically an Eastern human race, with black hair and black eyes, just like him, a Great Xia person.
Although these Eastern human races also have ranks, their names are completely different from those of the Nightmare race.
The Nightmare Clan refers to levels 1 to 10 as Iron, levels 11 to 19 as Bronze, levels 20 to 29 as Silver, and levels 30 to 39 as Gold.
Level 40 is Nightmare General, level 49 is Nightmare Knight, levels 50 to 54 are Lower Apostles, levels 55 to 58 are High Apostles, level 59 is Upper Apostle, and level 60 and above are Gods.
The corresponding titles for the Eastern human race are: mortal, acquired, innate, grandmaster, great grandmaster, and celestial being.
Level 50 and above is the third level of Shattered Void, and after the third level, one becomes an Immortal.
But that's not the main point. The main point is that the Eastern human race, which the Nightmare faction faces, is also divided into several major forces with irreconcilable conflicts between them. However, their only common point is that they all regard the Nightmare faction as their mortal enemy.
Under the attack of the Eastern Humans, the Nightmare Clan has been on the defensive.
His duty as the Nightmare Baron was to resist the invasion of these Eastern humans under the leadership of Viscount Eternal Night.
Of course, since he had just become the Nightmare Baron, he had a ten-year adaptation period, and he would not be conscripted unless there was a major crisis.
The star field of Viscount Eternal Night has been equipped with a defensive array deployed by the Nightmare Origin. The main force of the Eastern Human Race must first break through the Gate of Eternal Night before they can invade planes such as Blue Star.
But this does not mean that the Blue Star plane is safe. On the contrary, a plane like ours, which has just given birth to the Nightmare Baron, is extremely vulnerable to being targeted by the other party.
Because that defensive formation was deployed according to the rules of this universe, and the preference of the rules of this universe is "lord", this universe can be called the "lord universe".
If the opponent's lord is a being at the first level of the Shattered Void, then the Blue Star plane can be locked.
Once locked on, both the attacker and defender will be enveloped by the will of the universe, which will teleport people from other planes away and isolate them from external detection, thus initiating a plane war.
There are two types of interdimensional warfare, which are chosen by the defending side.
The first type is a lord duel, where two lords fight one-on-one. Whoever dies loses, and the victor gains a complete dimensional heart and all of the opponent's equipment.
The second scenario involves both sides' lords being restricted from taking action, with the battle taking place between combat forces below level 50 from both planes. The victory condition is to break through the opponent's plane core.
In this war mode, when the loser is breached for the first time, there is a 1% chance that they will drop a complete Dimensional Heart, and a 100% chance that they will drop a shattered Dimensional Heart.
If the complete Heart of the Plane falls, the plane will be destroyed, and the plane's ruler will die along with it.
If the plane is breached a second time, there is still a 1% chance that a complete Plane Heart will drop, but a broken Plane Heart cannot drop again.
Of course, the losing side has a 100-year truce period, during which other planes cannot attack this plane in this way again for 100 years.
"Therefore, a plane that has never been conquered even once will definitely be the enemy's first target, since it will 100% drop the shattered plane heart."
Lin Feng muttered to himself.
