Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 961 - 266: The Real World, Leave It at That (5)

Under this series of moves, some races began to waver, thus one after another connecting to the Star Network.

With more and more racial forces docking with the Star Network, even those still holding out became aware that this might be the future development trend for all races on Earth.

To choose to refuse means to remain stuck in the past, gradually becoming a marginal force.

At that time, fierce debates ensued among the upper echelons of the Human Clan, splitting them into two factions.

One faction advocated for reform and opening up, aligning with the trend of the times to connect to the Star Network.

The other faction supported conservative development, insisting that the Human Clan should retain autonomy over internet issues, without overly relying on the technology of the Moon Eclipse Clan.

During the final round of voting, one member of the high command back then uttered a sentence that made it into the annals of history:

"I ask the managers of all major cities present, and the federal congressmen, given the technological level of the Moon Eclipse Clan, if they were to have any intentions towards humanity, what would be the likelihood of us successfully resisting?"

This sentence left the protestors at the meeting in silence.

The fact is, if the Moon Eclipse Clan wanted to crush the Human Clan, the Human Clan would have no power to resist.

Over the years of contact with the Moon Eclipse Clan, they've never shown any hostility towards humanity, even proactively offering various technological support.

The final vote decided that the Human Clan Federation would connect to the Star Network and request developmental assistance from the Moon Eclipse Clan.

The Moon Eclipse Clan did not disappoint the Human Clan's expectations.

Every year, they provide a large amount of new technology and help the Human Clan with Purification of many polluted areas.

As the first cooperative partner at the establishment of the Earth Alliance, the Human Clan not only has city Intelligent Brains but also gained main brain permissions provided by the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Thus, the Human Clan ushered in an era of rapid development.

Looking back from the present day, Ji Chen believes that the Human Clan's decision back then was undoubtedly correct, but the future remains unknown.

The Human Clan's alliance also prompted many strong clans in the alliance to compromise.

Thus, the barriers to connection among the races were thoroughly broken through, genuinely ushering in the era of interconnection.

Cultural integration, technological exchange, economic linkage... The earth coin was also born during this stage.

Today, the Human Clan can travel to Breaking City, tomorrow to Eclipse City, the day after to the Floating City of the Tianyu Clan... The boundaries between races have gradually weakened in this process.

Many new-generation members of the arriving forces do not even think of themselves as part of an invading force.

There was once a popular joke on the internet.

A new-generation member of the Breaking Clan, in a verbal spat with another newly arrived alien new-generation member, cursed the opponent as: foreign scum.

This seemingly absurd behavior actually proves that many new-generation members of the races have long considered themselves part of Earth.

After hours of reading, Ji Chen's impression of the Moon Eclipse Clan changed.

Yet the doubts in his mind grew deeper.

According to online information, the initial intention behind the Moon Eclipse Clan's creation of virtual games was for development, that is, anticipating possible war crises.

This idea is perfectly valid.

But compared to the development trajectory of virtual games, there are quite a few doubts.

Starting with the viewpoint that the Monster World is the real world, reverse-engineering the virtual game development technology of the Moon Eclipse Clan, one would be surprised to find the pace of technological advancement far too exaggerated.

The virtual games before the birth of Monster World were excellent in technology but could never achieve the full simulation of reality.

Until the birth of Monster World.

This process was like jumping from the Stone Age to the interstellar civilization.

The technological leap was too significant.

Other races may speculate, believing this launch of Monster World is made with advanced technology of the Moon Eclipse Clan that hasn't been opened to the public.

But he knows in essence it's not a game but a completely real world.

So the essence of the game is actually the Moon Eclipse Clan ferrying members of the real world's races to Monster World as players.

However, this viewpoint has aspects that cannot be explained.

Can the Moon Eclipse Clan truly achieve this?

Firstly, the original intention for the birth of virtual games was that the Moon Eclipse Clan created a simulated world to deal with war.

But the various Rule Powers mastered by the Moon Eclipse Clan in Monster World sufficiently prove that the Moon Eclipse Clan's potential power fears no challenge, with no need to worry about any challenge arising.

Secondly, he saw a news release from the Moon Eclipse Clan.

The representative of the Moon Eclipse Clan mentioned in the conference that Monster World is fully managed by the Star Network, and all players from various races have the same starting point, with the Star Network offering no privilege whatsoever to the players of the Moon Eclipse Clan, including high-levels of the Moon Eclipse Clan having no authority to interfere with the operations of Monster World.

This explanation, at first glance, raises no issue.

But to Ji Chen, it contains unexplainable logic.

After all, in his era, many game companies also proclaimed there were no insiders in the game, with game development being dominated by player will, but in reality, many pay-to-win games had insiders.

Game officials never took player experience as a core goal but prioritized profits.

They might even exhaust resources towards the end of the game's lifecycle, draining the last bit of value from players.

In comparison, the Moon Eclipse Clan, having invested countless resources in crafting a game, logically should not have offered any privilege to its own clan.

Even more exaggerated, the quota for Moon Eclipse Clan native players is very few.

The Moon Eclipse Clan explained externally that there are A and B versions of Monster World.

Many members of the Moon Eclipse Clan engage in activities in Monster World A version, and eventually, the A version servers will be gradually closed, moving all players to the B version server.

However, viewing this explanation from the perspective of Monster World as the real world, it rather seems like concealing the truth that the Moon Eclipse Clan couldn't obtain game qualifications.

Many other irrational aspects still abound.

For instance, the Moon Eclipse Clan's acquisition of sacrificial power.

Or the collaboration between the Moon Eclipse Clan and other small clans, exchanging support for construction projects for sacrificial power resources in the game.

All explanations are logical.

But adding the viewpoint "Monster World is the real world," all explanations appear more as concealments.

And the strength of the Moon Eclipse Clan remains an enigma.

The Moon Eclipse Clan has never truly participated in anti-invasion wars nor demonstrated its true power.

In previous invasion wars, the adopted approach was resource and weapon equipment support to help the Earth Alliance address invasion crises.

Yet the essence of the Moon Eclipse Clan was they were a force fleeing to Earth to escape the doom of clan annihilation.

How could such a force possess countless Rule Powers regarded as "Strong Clan Seed" by Dragon Descendants?

Continuing to deduce along with this viewpoint.

The answer is close at hand.

The Moon Eclipse Clan is merely a front pushed onto the stage, with a stronger existence behind it.

This kind of power, calling it a God isn't an exaggeration.

Ferrying players, infinite resurrection, Life Soul Seed, hunting growth, negative purification... Each power is unimaginably strong.

The strong Dragon Descendants he once revered might not even be considered ants before this unknown existence.

This entity is the mastermind behind manipulating countless Rule Powers and directing race members to Monster World as players.

The series of actions by the Moon Eclipse Clan all coordinates with this supreme existence to cover the truth.

Upon thinking of this, most problems get resolved easily.

All of the Moon Eclipse Clan's actions have a reasonable explanation.

But the question is, why cover the truth.

The Moon Eclipse Clan has the power to destroy all races within the Earth Alliance, no racial force can prevent this from happening.

The stronger scheming controller behind it can easily achieve this, what's the point of doing so?

Various clues are interwoven in Ji Chen's mind, yet he cannot come up with a reasonable explanation for this question.

Just as Ji Chen intended to continue browsing historical data for answers.

A familiar voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Kid, let it rest for a while, if you keep going I'm gonna revoke your title."
