The mountain rain is about to come...
Throughout Southern Wilderness City, no, to be precise, across the entire Server, from the northernmost Northern Cold City to the southernmost Southern Wilderness City, and from the easternmost Dongli City to the westernmost Xiliang City, an unprecedented heavy atmosphere is unfolding at an uncontrollable Speed.
Perhaps the players are unaware of what exactly is happening.
But it is evident that a significant event is about to occur in the near future, and it will be a System-wide event!
...
Southern Wilderness City.
The entire System NPC Army has almost mobilized, marching in a grand procession that compels speculation about the special information contained within.
"Is the System going haywire?"
Similar voices arise almost every moment, as the System NPC Army not only gathers in various locations but also begins large-scale movements. Players are facing severe restrictions—at the city gates, a large group of Undead Faction players finds themselves blocked outside.
"What the hell is going on? Why can't we enter the city?"
"Is there going to be a large-scale faction war? Why can Human Faction players come and go freely while Undead Faction players are turned away?"
"Is anyone out there? Come out and explain!"
The city gate has turned into chaos, with countless players who chose the Undead Faction intercepted outside. Even those inside the city who belong to the Undead Faction are under strict control; they cannot leave the city and are treated as outcasts when trying to enter System shops.
Upon realizing this situation, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan were both deeply shocked!
As some of the few who understand the underlying issues, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan undoubtedly hold significant authority in this matter. The sudden turmoil across the Server directly corresponds to the impending Restoration Wars led by Princess Elena of the Empire and Shiriel, Leader of the Blood Phantom Alliance.
One side is targeting Otherworldly Races;
One side is rising again!
No one could have imagined that, after the Holy War a thousand years ago, the two races of humanity and the Undead, who had always been at odds, would join forces at this moment a millennium later.
"Boss, President..."
An urgent call suddenly rang out as Proud Dragon and The Terminator of Regrets hurriedly rushed out from the Guild Base's Teleportation Circle.
"How did you come out of the Teleportation Circle?" Yi Tianchen asked, puzzled.
After all, they both had flying mounts, and the Guild's Teleportation Circle only connected to Southern Wilderness City. As a region under the jurisdiction of Southern Wilderness City, the Rainy Years Guild's Base of Operations' Teleportation Circle could only freely travel between these two places.
"We entered the city and couldn't get out anymore," Proud Dragon said.
"You went to Southern Wilderness City?"
Liu Yuhan pondered for a moment before continuing, "What is the situation like in Southern Wilderness City now?"
"In one word: chaos!"
The Terminator of Regrets chuckled bitterly. "And it's a riot! The city gates are sealed, and all players who chose the Undead Faction are trapped inside. Even the System shops are no longer open to them. Some troublemakers took advantage of this to spread rumors that the two factions are about to go to war."
"Thus, players from different factions started fighting each other," Proud Dragon added.
"Exactly! Nowadays, Southern Wilderness City is filled with brawls everywhere! Players from both factions almost attack each other on sight. The entire Southern Wilderness City has turned into a new PvP zone, and the System's NPC Army has launched a citywide hunt..."
"Hunt?"
"Who?"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback, and in response, Liu Yuhan picked up the conversation. The Terminator of Regrets and Proud Dragon both wore expressions of bitterness, and after a moment, said, "Boss President, you absolutely won't believe it. The one they are hunting is the lord of Southern Wilderness City—Doron!"
"Doron is missing?"
Faced with this revelation from The Terminator of Regrets and Proud Dragon, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan were genuinely caught off guard.
Logically speaking, Lord Doron of Southern Wilderness City should have been aware of the entire situation from the beginning.
In other words, as a loyal subject of the empire who understood the ins and outs and had been waiting for this day to arrive, he should have anticipated that such a day would eventually come and prepared for it well in advance.
But what was the outcome?
A System NPC, the lord of Southern Wilderness City, had gone missing?
"Boss, could this be related to your main quest?" Proud Dragon pondered, while The Terminator of Regrets looked at Yi Tianchen with a confused expression.
"That's right; this will be the final battle!"
Yi Tianchen briefly explained what he knew about the situation, which shocked both Proud Dragon and The Terminator of Regrets. However, upon further reflection, their surprise quickly turned into excitement.
A server-wide battle surely promised substantial rewards!
Meanwhile, Liu Yuhan had already informed all members of Rainy Years Guild who were trapped in Southern Wilderness City through the Guild channel, urging them to teleport back to the Guild Base as soon as possible while warning them to avoid getting involved in any faction conflicts.
"Boss President, what about us? What should we do?" The Terminator of Regrets asked.
Yi Tianchen remained silent, but Liu Yuhan simply smiled calmly and declared, "This is merely the prelude to the server-wide war. For now, we only need to remember four words—watch and wait!"
"However, we must also be ready to engage at any moment!"
Yi Tianchen added this line, which instantly sparked a glimmer of desire and excitement for battle in both of their gazes. At the same time, his tone grew serious, tinged with a hint of playfulness: "It seems I really need to go check out a certain place!"
"…"
The Terminator of Regrets and Proud Dragon exchanged glances, yet they completely missed the implication in Yi Tianchen's words. Liu Yuhan smiled and said, "Go ahead! If anything changes, remember to inform us right away. You're the key to whether we can take the lead in this Server-wide battle!"
"Mm!"
Yi Tianchen nodded and, under Liu Yuhan's watchful gaze and the puzzled expressions of The Terminator of Regrets and Proud Dragon, left the Base of Operations alone.
Soon, Yi Tianchen and his mount became a small black dot in the eyes of the three!
Outside Southern Wilderness City, the situation seemed no better than inside; in fact, it was even more chaotic. Although it was nominally about factional confrontations, many people were simply taking advantage of the chaos to loot. Whether they were from the Human Faction or the Undead Faction, they charged in without hesitation, swinging their weapons fiercely.
Thousand Wood Forest.
It was unclear when exactly countless Undead Soldiers had appeared here, and among them were also scattered human soldiers.
"Haha, young warrior, your timing couldn't be better!"
Uke's voice was always unexpectedly loud and high-pitched. As Yi Tianchen watched Uke Lord stride towards him confidently, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
"What the hell? How did Doron end up here?"
