Compared to players and the Black Tide, Insect Warriors are the purest killing machines.
Unaffected by any external forces, they charge forward with the sole purpose of killing.
In the extremely chaotic mixed battle, only the world where the Earth Thought Bully was injured has been achieved.
Qi Sheng, watching the battle, found this situation laughable yet troubling.
These three factions appear weak now, but they all have backing.
The backing of the Earth Thought Evil Spirits is the Horror Black Tide.
The backing of the Player Clan is Emperor Zhao.
The Insect Race's backing is the supreme mastermind of the Combat Insect Clan.
In contrast, the situation of the Earth Thought Evil Spirits is the worst.
Although the Horror Black Tide is the strongest among the three factions in terms of overall power, the Earth Thought Evil Spirits are merely insignificant members of it, without resources to aid their growth.
By contrast, the Player Clan has his full support, continuously developing new technologies to integrate into the Challenger System, providing better development.
The Combat Insect Clan has the full support of the supreme mastermind, ensuring they keep up with the Black Tide's development pace.
While the Earth Thought Evil Spirits seem like an unrecognized child by the Black Tide, relying solely on their own fists to conquer the world.
Compared to other Evil Spirit Warriors, the Earth Thought Evil Spirits had a Hell Level start.
But even in such dire circumstances, they managed to fight through.
They laid out plans to devour the Black Tide Energy of two kin warriors, increasing the strength of the Black Tide continuously, and now they have also opened a path for future expansion.
It can be said that the Earth Thought Evil Spirit grew step by step right under his nose.
He also saw the growth potential of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.
[Boss, when I scanned the Earth information database, I found a storyline in novels that greatly matches the current situation.]
Hearing this, Qi Sheng turned to look at the Guiding Water Ball floating by his side:
"What are you trying to say?"
[In many novel scenarios, the protagonist starts from humble beginnings, appearing insignificant in the eyes of the big villain, merely a small obstacle in their plan. Even if the protagonist disrupts some actions during their growth, these behaviors are negligible in the eyes of the villainous BOSS, having no impact on the development of the grand plan...until the protagonist slowly grows and eventually turns the tables to defeat the villain.]
[But if the villain realized this sooner, they might avoid the tragedy, like killing the protagonist early on.]
Qi Sheng:...
"Are you suggesting that the Earth Thought Evil Spirit is that gifted protagonist starting from the bottom, and I'm the villain secretly observing?"
[Hehe, I just think the storyline is somewhat similar. The Earth Thought Evil Spirit really does possess many protagonist-like qualities such as being studious, tenacious, fearless, and wise... In this light, don't you resemble an ultimate villain overlooking the weak protagonist at the start?]
Finishing the thought, the Guiding Water Ball shifted the topic:
[Of course, this is merely a resemblance in the storyline. Dimension-wise, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit can never be on par with you, Boss. Overlooking it creates no issues, especially since the Earth Thought Bully has often aided players in their development, like assisting in the first two devours of the Evil Moon Domain, allowing players to seamlessly capture Domain Nodes. Keeping it around might even bring unexpected surprises in the future.]
[I even think the Earth Thought Evil Spirit has mentally broken through some limitations of the Black Tide, developing too many self-conceived ideas, including those of the Evil Eye following it, potentially becoming a major risk within the Black Tide in the future.]
The Guiding Water Ball's words were exactly what piqued Qi Sheng's curiosity.
They had once discussed the army structure of the Black Tide, including the potential mind controls of the behind-the-scenes master of the Black Tide over the Evil Spirit Warriors.
After all, the power of Evil Spirit Warriors is immense.
There must be some inherent restrictions, likely originating from a mental level.
Moreover, the emotionless Evil Eye is both a war support and possibly a monitor beside the Evil Spirit Warriors.
However, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit not only achieved a certain unknown breakthrough mentally but even the Evil Eye following it has shown some issues, with emotions gradually becoming richer.
The direction in which this unknown change will lead the Earth Thought Evil Spirit is something he is very curious about.
After observing the mixed battle for a long time, Qi Sheng's attention shifted towards the sea direction of the Colorful Mist Coast Region.
A group of players equipped with Controlled Life Souls were waiting for the opportunity to capture Shuyan Warriors, while some were looking for chances to ambush the dying Ascension Clan warriors.
As the battle dragged into a stalemate, the war became less intense.
The deeper war erupted in the Small World.
The Ascension Clan began to continuously undergo Divine Descent into the Small World, spreading resources, creating immortal images, and even proactively contacting the mortals of the Small World to grant opportunities.
By doing so, they aimed to break a series of descriptions about immortals not interacting with the lower world in the story's subtext.
The Ascension Clan's approach reminded Qi Sheng of the Earth before his transmigration.
After World War II, the Soviet Union established a socialist welfare system, providing extensive free welfare for the public, including free medical care, education, and housing. This welfare model influenced internationally, creating external pressure for Western countries.
To showcase the superiority of the capitalist system, and compete with the Soviet Union on ideological grounds, Western countries, feeling threatened, improved their welfare systems, adopting the "cradle to grave" high-welfare model to enhance public treatment.
Although external pressure wasn't the absolute reason for advancing welfare, it was a key factor driving events.
To eliminate hidden seeds in the Small World, the Ascension Clan's manner of handling was very similar.
In fact, the Ascension Clan had already clandestinely cleaned up a batch of storytellers before this, but the transmission paths of Shuyan's stories were unaffected, killing one only brought the next story propagator.
The war between the Ascension Clan and Shuyan unfolded simultaneously in both the Monster World and the Small World.
During this process, Shuyan was also under significant pressure.
In the Monster World, Shuyan was destined not to write a feel-good story. The story content would inevitably be tortuous under the oppression of the background.
In the war against the Ascension Clan, Shuyan was the weaker party, but it had meticulously calculated the feasibility of the war, believing it had the assurance to wear out the Ascension Clan through a prolonged struggle.
However, the emergence of players became a variable in this plan.
Originally, when characters died in the story, Shuyan could reclaim some Ink Power.
But the presence of players disrupted Shuyan's plan, occasionally causing some Shuyan Warriors to be disconnected.
Several times, even important supporting characters nearly perished, and if it weren't for realizing the abnormal situation and hastily controlling the protagonist to seize the dying supporting characters, key character loss would have occurred.
To make the variables in the story reasonable, the players, occasionally popping up, were given an identity explanation in Shuyan's tale.
They were explained as an evil presence from the heavens, using conspiracy and deceit to disrupt cultivators' cultivation, causing many to go mad and produce Heart Demons. Cultivators affected by Heart Demons would be enticed to venture into the Outer World, never to return.
In Shuyan's story, players have a name: Outer Heaven Demon.
