Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 881 - 249: Ants Gazing at the Moon, Fire of Civilization

"Blood King, what do you think?"

Faced with the inquiry, the Little Mage was momentarily speechless.

To him, these two options were not choices at all.

He knew the positioning of the Blue World very well; it was their Earth, also the Spirit Breaths Tribe's next target for invasion.

This was certainly an undeveloped new map, just like the airwalls in a game, how could they go there?

Thinking about how he was temporarily tied to the Spirit Breaths Tribe, he nodded coldly and said solemnly:

"I support the Soul King's idea, choosing to struggle in a low-level world and ultimately becoming a maggot or betting everything for a future in Purgatory. My choice is I'd rather be crushed under the feet of the strong than rot in a mire."

As soon as he said this, the Little Mage was suddenly taken aback.

He realized that these words were basically insulting his real homeland.

Comparing Earth to a mire, what villainous thinking, shameful!

"Then let's vote on the decision," the Soul King nodded at this moment.

Eight tentacles simultaneously pointed to the blood-colored Crystal Stone at the center of the conference table.

The final voting result was to be born in death, betting on the Spirit Breaths Tribe's future for a possibility.

...

Returning to the Blood Pool Army, the Little Mage began to ask the Guide how to cultivate the growth system of the Apocalypse Behemoth.

Also, how to create the Apocalypse Behemoth as a Rule-type Special Life Soul.

The Guide provided two growth paths for this.

The first path.

The Apocalypse Behemoth can optimize its life structure to grow by devouring the genes of flesh life.

However, as the Apocalypse Behemoth is made from the derivatives of Spirit Breath World's rules, there are limited gene structures it can decompose, but it can use sacrificial power to aid the decomposition.

This means that as the Apocalypse Behemoth devours a type of flesh life in Monster World and gets sacrificial power as a reward, it must also consume sacrificial power to digest the flesh life to grow.

This is a gradual growth route, where breaking through the growth threshold by devouring enough genes opens up the opportunity to evolve by rule.

This rule's trait will also relate to devouring evolution.

The second path.

Strip the Rule Origin of the Spirit Breath World, then integrate it into the "Source of Evil."

This method is relatively simple, and the Guide can help.

But it requires a one-time payment of over a hundred million sacrificial power in advance.

As for which to choose, the Little Mage decisively chose the former.

The price reminded him of the Special Life Soul in the director's hand, the Dark Race Crystal Corps, expensive when fully assembled.

Over a hundred million sacrificial power was unimaginable for him.

He wondered if he would ever have the ability to forge the Apocalypse Behemoth into a Rule-type Life Soul in this lifetime.

But he already had a new goal in mind.

Using the Spirit Breaths Tribe's power to establish his own influence in the game.

If the plan fails... he'll return to the village miserably.

If successful, he would witness as the Blood King the rise of the Spirit Breaths Tribe in Monster World.

Though uncertain if his lifespan would allow him to see that day.

The freedom in Monster World is incredibly high, where racial ascension is never instantaneous but rather has a gradual development process akin to reality.

It truly feels like playing a game with one's lifespan.

He wonders if Monster World's account can be inherited, allowing his descendants to inherit his power and continue striving.

As for whether the Spirit Breaths Tribe can gain a foothold in Monster World, he does not know, but he's aware that a predecessor of a descending force succeeded.

Ah Le is a perfect example.

He had seen player-posted background supplement threads on the forum, mentioning Ah Le's rise.

This frog that leapt out of the well truly gains foothold in Monster World, with his entertainment centers spread across multiple regions of Monster World.

With riches accumulated over many years, he is already building a new corps system.

The Spirit Breaths Tribe may have similar opportunities.

Even though he sees the Spirit Breaths Tribe as weak, they have good development potential and an advanced technology system.

Unlike Ah Le, who at the start was aided by rules as the king of Small World.

But Monster World would be a platform for the Spirit Breaths Tribe to reach new heights.

Thinking of this, the Little Mage is suddenly taken aback.

He realized he was actually considering the future of the Spirit Breaths Tribe.

"Hiss~ I feel like I'm walking further down the road of villainy."

He then turned his head towards the Guiding Water Ball floating beside him:

"Brother Guide, will there be any problems if I don't follow the development route of the player faction?"

Faced with the inquiry, the Guide raised his eyelids:

[No problem, you can play however you like. Regardless, you remain a member of the player faction and can continue using features like the mall, Star Vein, Body Refining Level enhancement, etc., just with different gameplay.]

What the Guide didn't say was: As long as sacrificial power taxes are not reduced, there will be no issue.

Receiving the Guide's affirmation, the Little Mage sighed helplessly.

Deep down, he still wants to return to Imperial Tomb Village, still wants to fight together with his guild buddies.

Growing up with a bunch of NPCs is truly boring.

Yet things have come to this point, and he has no choice.

He decided to proceed with the enhancement of the Apocalypse Behemoth next.

The goods in the warehouse he plans to sell entirely in exchange for sacrificial power.

Much of the potential value items directly sacrificed to the Sacrificial Emperor don't yield much sacrificial power, nor do direct negotiations with demanding guilds work.

His reputation on the forum is tainted, no players would want to cooperate with him.

For instance, the 132 Amber Coffins in his personal Space Bag, storing genetic live samples from different races, could be sold to the Alchemist Guild in exchange for rewards.
