As Shen Sui was planning the first game of the Descent Association, the Huaxia Exploration Bureau was fervently discussing pressing topics regarding the Soul Card World.

With the destruction of World No. 8, this previously forbidden world, after being tested by the Exploration Bureau and confirmed to be non-threatening, was officially opened to students.

Feedback from the first batch of students suggested that the benefits from World No. 8 were quite substantial.

A world where all rent-seeking classes were obliterated, everything needed redistribution, and with proper management, it’s easy to reap significant profits from it.

As for the Life Card Masters, this translates to a large number of Life Cards.

In today’s real world, every Life Card serves as a bullet against the extraordinary.

Zhang Fang sat expressionless in his chair, looking at the information in his hand.

"Headquarters, based on the immense benefits of World No. 8, I see no issues with the plan they proposed," an attending official said, "Besides, some countries have already taken this approach; we cannot fall behind."

The rebuilding of World No. 8, coupled with the influx of Life Cards, showed many the enormous profits that similar events could bring.

Some have even aggressively proposed plans to destroy other Soul Card Worlds.

Using the influence and resources Life Card Masters hold in the Soul Card World, they premeditatedly incite wars in stable Soul Card Worlds, and once these worlds are sufficiently devastated by war, a new batch of Life Card Masters steps in to rebuild the world on the ruins of war.

In theory, Life Card Masters can harvest two waves of Life Cards this way: one from the destruction of the world and another from its salvation and reconstruction.

This behavior is akin to how contemporary internet businesses rake in traffic—spreading rumors eats one wave of traffic, busting them eats another, even though mom’s gone, the profits are secured.

From a rational perspective, this behavior indeed promises huge returns.

This meeting was hastily convened because the group led by America had already picked an ordinary world to test the feasibility of this model.

Ordinary worlds lack extraordinary powers; countries and companies pass some technologies to Life Card Masters, who then influence corresponding Soul Card Worlds, thereby sparking wars in those worlds.

It can only be said, they are very adept and professional in causing destruction. This method of sowing discord, this manipulation of proxy agents, is useful even in the Soul Card World.

However, despite the apparent enormous gains, Zhang Fang disliked gaining massive Life Cards through such means.

Firstly, Life Card Masters and their Soul Cards do not constitute the majority population in corresponding Soul Card Worlds. Though equipped with more destructive weapons technology, they can easily start wars in ordinary Soul Card Worlds; once a war begins, once the destruction bell tolls, its subsequent developments cannot be controlled by anyone.

The crux is, opening this door effectively tells Life Card Masters worldwide that they can stir up conditions in Soul Card Worlds to reap an abundance of Life Cards.

Ordinary worlds may cope well; even if an invasion occurs, at least with the technological level of the real world, it’s barely manageable.

But what if a reckless Life Card Master causes a similar destructive event in an extraordinary world?

At present, nearly every world affected by an extraordinary invasion originates from these unstable Soul Card Worlds.

If one’s world were truly safe, who would find amusement by venturing into an unknown world? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Realistically speaking, the stability of Soul Card Worlds better serves human interests.

Previously, World No. 8 invaded the real world on a large scale because it was apocalypse-bound, and those lofty Dominators began seeking ways out.

Since Dominators could invade, no one knows which characters from other Extraordinary Soul Card Worlds might invade the real world.

But with the precedents of World No. 8, this huge profit is indeed very tempting.

Before Zhang Fang could speak, an official stepped forward to refute the proposal, though the reason given was "inhumane."

Although Zhang Fang found invoking humanitarianism ridiculous in matters concerning the survival of a world, it didn’t stop him from using that reason to temporarily table the proposal.

While Zhang Fang put it on hold, Life Card Masters, prompted by frequent extraordinary invasion incidents, aggressively engaged in life card harvesting across various Soul Card Worlds, causing unforeseeable effects.

Centered on the real world, the "Fourth Calamity" event, involving numerous Soul Card Worlds, is already brewing.

Initially oblivious extraordinary from those worlds started to grow curious due to the Life Card Masters’ radical actions.

Life card companies also saw the business opportunity within.

These companies profiting hugely from selling Life Cards actually command a troop of Life Card Masters from different Soul Card Worlds. They form guilds in corresponding worlds, akin to domestic dueling families, enabling life card mass farming through collusion.
