Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 707: Chapter 353: Dawn Ascension 3.0: Gods Descend!

Players cannot relax, as once they do, the Federation will surely fall into chaos.

At the same time, extraordinary times require extraordinary measures.

Originally, the treatment for Dawn Residents and players was almost the same, but now the proportion for players is decreasing while it is increasing for Dawn Residents.

This means for the same crime of theft, Dawn Residents would only be detained for a period and then released, while players would be directly executed by the Star Core F Series Robot.

Each of these tiny things boasts at least the strength of Level 50, still a crushing existence for players.

Even though their current cap is Level 45.

Baiyi glanced at the Demon Realm, where souls following the Source of the Forty Ounce World were slowly merging into the world.

He opened the trailer in the forum once again.

It begins with mechanicals, steel structures, a land being layered with soil and greenery, pervasive full-system projections, all attracting customers.

Various maglev vehicles and personal flying devices shuttle through the city of steel under AI planning.

This is Dongwu City now, where most residents have a smile on their face, whereas Transcendents start to look worried.

The reason is simple, as competitions, hunting, and arenas have become the targets for most Transcendents, offering a chance to get rich overnight.

Yet, such competitions can only be held once a year.

Entering the top ten gives a great chance of being recruited by various legions or families, leading to a bright future as a civil servant.

The top three get an opportunity to choose an institution to join and receive an extremely generous reward.

Take Dongwu City as an example, the officially hosted Silver Level competition’s first prize is: [Fulfill a reasonable wish of yours.]

The second prize is: [500,000 Gold Coins.]

The third prize is: [100,000 Gold Coins.]

For all other than the first place in the Bronze Level, the rewards decrease by 80%, but the second prize is still 100,000 Gold Coins.

These 100,000 Gold Coins are immensely attractive to Bronze Level contestants, requiring full effort in every match.

Besides these, some families also host similar competitions with extremely generous rewards.

Moreover, job positions in Dongwu City are skyrocketing, and as wealthy merchants gather, they bring their businesses here, making Dongwu City increasingly prosperous.

The trailer briefly showcased the arena and prosperity, then the entire world erupted with a violent roar.

Immediately, the whole sky turned black.

An overwhelming sense of oppression enveloped the world, animals and Magical Beasts began to roar anxiously, and giant mechas on the edge of Dongwu City stood up one by one.

Thump, thump... thump, thump...

The pulsating sound of a colossal heart resonated again after several years, synchronizing with the heartbeat of everyone in the city.

Faces originally marked by either worry or joy now turned into concern and fear, as they all lifted their heads to gaze at the sky.

Amidst the pitch-darkness, a phantom locked its eyes onto Dongwu City, with a bizarre expression mixing indifference and greed.

Behind it, numerous phantoms followed, all greedily eyeing various locations.

But their gazes primarily focused on just four locations.

Dawn, Stars, Sun, Wei Sea.

Their figures gradually became solid.

The intense oppression churned even the distant seas and instilled terror in all living beings on land.

A minimum Charm Value of -27 began to disrupt even the Natural Elements.

Buzz~

In a distant region, a murky purple rift opened, though it appeared inconspicuous under the enormous godly pressure.

Tap, tap~

Amidst this oppressive atmosphere, a clear sound of footsteps emerged.

Baiyi appeared in the trailer, occupying the entire view.

He looked up at the sky, locking eyes with the phantoms behind the darkness.

At the moment the phantoms became solid, Baiyi raised his hand.

The Alchemy Array text swept across the sky like a gale, with a myriad of engraved text bearing azure crystals forming a dreamy pattern in the heavens.

Boom!

Absolute Zero froze five Gods.

Immediately, a powerful Alchemy Array text shot a golden sphere, one Baiyi had never seen, into the sky, suspended before the crumbling wall of Solid Ice.

Thump~

The golden Fierce Sun dispersed the darkness in the sky, enveloping the entire frame.

When the scene became clear again, it had significantly changed.

Dongwu City was slightly damaged, but a God was permanently kneeling at the city’s edge, with Divine Blood dripping one drop at a time.

Baiyi’s scarlet eyes kindled with anger, holding a black dagger with eerie patterns trembling unsettlingly.

It emitted a continuous hum.

The frame freezes here, then the frame gradually shrinks, finally revealing an image.

In the image, Baiyi is at the center, his eyes radiating the glory of a Saint, with scarlet eyes behind him on the deliberately elongated shadow appearing quite sinister.

Beside him stands an expressionless young man, followed by a line of familiar or unfamiliar faces centered around Baiyi.

Massive wings form darkness behind these young faces, blocking the scarlet.

Above their heads is the pitch-black sky from the previous video.

Each phantom overlooks these young, even adolescent individuals, with more prominent eyes overhead, each eye containing fine threads controlling tiny figures, all similarly casting their gaze upon that row of youths.

[Dawn Ascension 3.0: Descent of the Gods!]

As these words appear in two lines, all imagery concludes.

Baiyi gathered a lot of information from it.

Baiyi carefully counted, and there were 84 gods entering Xia.

These were all Ancient Gods, with no trace of Evil Gods, and Plane Gods did not join the front in dividing Xia.

Yet these Eighty-four Ancient Gods alone suffocate Xia.

And with excess elements involved, the other two Federations are similar; only the protagonist opposing the gods differs.

However, the final scene is identical to Dawn’s.

Five gods initially target Dawn.

While these gods are Ancient Gods with Tiny to Weak Divine Power, Baiyi still feels pressured.

Sufficient force to deter gods is required for further development; otherwise, everything ends.

From the cover, Baiyi sees some positive aspects.

Namely, none of the Federations have perished in the first wave.

The Sun Federation is sturdier than Baiyi imagined...

Though not necessarily sturdy, there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests. This statement is undeniably true.

Because the trailer contains one crucial, albeit difficult-to-spot, piece of information.

Behind the Legend-tier Legendary Divine Mage who advanced to Tier Ten, darkness consistently undulates subtly, like a loss of virginity.

Yet Baiyi identifies that the Sun Federation’s survival hinges on Charles, the Sun Federation’s biggest antagonist.

This guy, for unknown reasons, preserved the Sun Federation, but this bears little relevance to Baiyi; he doesn’t plan to hint at his realization.

It’s enough to know that [Charles doesn’t want the Sun Federation to perish].

After all, he is unaware of the extent of the tug-of-war between Charles and the Gods; rash involvement might lead to being torn apart.

As long as power is continuously nurtured, any conspiracy becomes irrelevant when one possesses power.

Additionally, on the final cover, the wings spanning between the gods and the youth are those of a Giant Dragon.

Baiyi can’t help but think of Black Dragon Lixting.

In the past, the Great Level Lady of the Night swung a palm across countless dimensions toward Xia; after that palm, a shadow obscuring the sky flew through that area.

That was an Ancient Dragon, a Forbidden Level Giant Dragon.

This type of dragon has no Divine Rules, yet it’s still called a Mythical Giant Dragon.

Because they possess the strength to actually kill gods head-on.

Though the trailer wasn’t explicit, perhaps dragons will make an appearance in this version, coming with the power to contend with early-stage gods and becoming the current savior for Xia.

Giving them time to continue growing.

A long exhale.

Baiyi looked at the completed Soul Potion in his hand and drank it directly.

[You drank the Holy Soul Potion; your Soul slightly improved, Holy Spirit +1.]

Baiyi glanced at his Attributes: Holy Spirit: 230.

Closed his eyes to Perceive, then glanced at the unborn Demon Realm manager prototype, still needing three days within the two-thousand-times time flow.

Baiyi decided to activate the ninth Extreme Evil Specialization choice.

The current Spiritual Power is once again completely suppressing the Dark Side, safely allowing the acquisition of this potentially key Specialization.

[You opened Extreme Evil Specialization ×1.]

[Please choose one from the three Specializations below.]
