Chapter 634 Wardland
In the silent night sky, countless shooting stars streaked across the sky.
At that moment, in an unknown, enormous conference hall, an old man sighed as he gazed at the shooting stars.
"Looks like it's another group of invaders."
The old man looked at the tiny, bright full moon and the shooting stars around it, and spoke slowly.
"Those great beings always enjoy playing this kind of game."
"That's what the other person said."
"What should we do then? The Smile Moon Society might be planning another event."
"Don't worry about them. Every now and then, there will be visitors, but most of them die."
"In my opinion, the same goes for these people."
Silence fell over the huge conference room after these words were spoken.
"That's settled then."
The old man sighed, then said with a hint of helplessness.
"Instead of worrying about these things, we should be more concerned about whether those chaotic believers will cause any trouble."
Someone said.
Immediately afterwards, the discussion resumed.

"Welcome to the Great Game. Your goal is simple: to reshape this world according to your own preferences as much as possible. The greater your influence and contribution to the world, the more points you will earn."
Skatsla was thrown directly into a demiplane. When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by endless darkness, with no end in sight.
Then, I heard the system's voice in my ear.
This is... a bit scary. Did they not realize my identity?
Skatsla thought to himself.
He quickly understood the current situation after browsing through the documents.
First, let's look at the victory conditions for this game.
Simply put, it's about killing everyone, then destroying or saving the world, and finally achieving victory.
However, this is somewhat extreme.
In addition, there are many other ways to earn points and redeem rewards.
For example, completing a task, achieving something, or even making a difference in the world.
Simply put, it's like an open world.
Furthermore, a positive aspect is that in this game, everyone can revive to a limited extent, requiring only a certain number of points.
Of course, you can choose to revive if you have no points, but in that case, your points will become negative.
The consequence of a negative number is that you'll be stuck here forever.
To be honest, Skatsla didn't understand this at first when she first saw it.
In his view, isn't this pure charity?
If someone dies and you resurrect them, the price is that you have to stay in your own world?
What's the difference between that and keeping idle people around?
But soon, he will stop thinking that way.
Please select a faction.
A cold voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Skatsla was taken aback, and then began to quickly read through this part of the setting.
There are three factions in total: Order, Chaos, and Dream.
These three belong to different great beings, and the rewards they received were issued by these great beings.
Therefore, the points they receive are also divided into three types.
Chaotic feathers, orderly threads, and dream dust.
The purpose of these items is to exchange them for items belonging to their respective factions.
Furthermore, these currencies can be stolen by others; by killing other participants, you can obtain their points.
However, the points gained from killing will be reduced.
The reduction is 50% for kills close to the target, and an additional 20% reduction is added for each subsequent level of kill.
The opposite is true for killing someone of a higher rank than oneself.
In other words, there is almost no benefit to a high-level player killing a low-level player, while the benefit of a low-level player killing a high-level player is ridiculously large.
As expected of the infamous Jiang Shuzhou, the malice in these rules is outrageous.
It encourages mutual killing while limiting the benefits of such killing.
Furthermore, since the benefits of killing higher-level enemies with lower-level enemies are extremely high, no one would miss such an opportunity if possible.
It can only be said that Jiang Shuzhou has mastered the art of manipulating human nature.
"Choose the Order faction."
Skatsla said that he was not crazy, so he would not choose the Chaos faction. He did not know much about the Dream faction, so he did not choose it randomly.
Of course, the faction you choose doesn't actually affect anything except your spawn point.
Please select your arrival location.
Then, a huge map appeared in front of Skatsla.
The words "Map of the Wardland Plane" were written in large characters on it.
Clearly, this is the specific map of this plane.
Staring at the map, Skatsla was somewhat at a loss.
The map was full of things he couldn't understand.
What is meant by "chaos and contamination level"?
What is meant by "degree of flesh-and-blood transformation"?
What is meant by "the level of demonic stone disease"?
What is meant by "reality stability"?
One by one, things that didn't sound very promising were displayed on the map.
Although she didn't know what these things were, Skatsla still looked at them one by one, trying her best to avoid the higher values.
However, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any values that were too low.
The only area where all these values are very low is the central city, which cannot be selected.
Unfortunately, Skatsla could only choose to descend to a place with relatively low stats if possible.
Immediately afterwards, another feeling of dizziness came over her, and soon, Skatsla descended upon Voldland.
On the other side, Jiang Shuzhou was keeping an eye on the other contestants while casually choosing a spot.
For him, this place is like his own home.
This time, Jiang Shuzhou chose to open his demiplane to host the competition, partly out of boredom, and partly to add variables to the demiplane.
After all, Jiang Shuzhou's demi-plane is now more like a plane than a demi-plane, completely losing its unfinished state.
After being fed and transformed by Jiang Shuzhou several times, Jiang Shuzhou's demiplane is now unimaginably large. Basically, it is not much different from the main plane, except that the difference is only in the level of power.
This has led to a mixed bag of people on Wardland, with all sorts of beliefs.
However, since these great beliefs were all just aspects of Jiang Shuzhou, he didn't pay any attention to them.
After all, this not only helps Jiang Shuzhou better control his power, but also allows him to have a lot of fun, so it's a win-win situation, with Jiang Shuzhou winning twice.
However, Wardland is inherently flawed and cannot surpass its limits to give birth to god-like beings. At most, it can only produce legends, which is not what Jiang Shuzhou hoped for.
Therefore, this game will determine the fate of Wardland.
Is it to return the world to chaos and then retrieve it, or to immerse it in a dream, or to reconstruct the world with order?
It all depends on the choices made by the participants.
As for resurrection or being eternally imprisoned?
This is not Jiang Shuzhou lying.
After all, the world of Wardland is a stage where you can find work whenever you want.
Sometimes, being alive is more painful than being dead.
