Chapter 2716 â Godâs Domainâs Apex Battle
Flame Dragon City, War Godâs Temple:
Despite being the size of three sports stadiums, the plaza outside the War Godâs Temple was currently crowded with players. Aside from the various participating superpowersâ members, a large portion of these players was here as spectators. Everyone quietly waited for the official start of the competition.
âQuick, look! Theyâre about to announce the battlefield!â
Suddenly, a huge holographic projection appeared in the sky above the War Godâs Temple. The projection was hundreds of meters wide, and the image displayed was visible even from several miles away.
Meanwhile, with the emergence of this holographic projection, excitement surged in both the players and NPCs in Flame Dragon City.
âItâs finally starting!â
âThis competition will determine the future direction of the entire Godâs Domain. Many of the various superpowersâ hidden experts will reveal themselves. Once you guys enter the arena, make sure to record these expertsâ data. Theyâre going to become the giants of Godâs Domain in the future. We must make sure we donât accidentally offend any of them.â
âNewbies, listen up. The Guild spent a fortune to reserve a VIP viewing room to let you experience this competition as close as possible. Cherish this opportunity and learn as much as you can from those top talents!â
The various major powers here to spectate the competition spent time instructing their Guild talents and newcomers to cherish this viewing opportunity. After all, this was going to be the apex battle of Godâs Domain. âTalents? I want to see just how powerful they are.â
âI heard many of the people on the Godâs Domainâs Experts List would appear. I wonder if weâll get a chance to see a showdown between these experts?â.
The various major powersâ talents and newcomers grew excited upon hearing their superiorsâ words. They all wished they could take part in the competition themselves.
The players in Flame Dragon City werenât the only ones paying attention to this competition. Players all over Godâs Domain were also interested. Unfortunately, the people who could directly spectate the battle numbered very few, which had many players gnashing their teeth in frustration.
There were only 100 VIP viewing rooms, each capable of accommodating only 100 players. There were also only 10 million normal viewing seats available. Compared to Godâs Domainâs player population, this number was insignificant.
However, this still wasnât the most frustrating part. Instead, what frustrated players the most was that aside from players, even NPCs could purchase these viewing tickets.
According to the War Godâs Templeâs statistics, 20% of the tickets were bought by NPCs, 60% by Guilds, and only 20% by independent players. Time passed quickly. Before anyone knew it, the holographic projection above the War Godâs Temple revealed the battlefield for the upcoming competition. Displayed on the projection was an ocean with turbulent waves and dark thunderclouds. At a glance, it was evident this wasnât a place players could enter casually. Strewn across this ocean were 18 islands of varying sizes. The small islands were roughly the size of small leveling maps, while the large islands were around three times the size of the small islands.
A considerable distance separated these islands. With calm seas, a Bronze Speedboat would take at least two hours to travel from one island to another. The appearance of waves and storms could double this travel time.
âWhat?! Itâs going to be a naval battle?!â
âNo, there are quite a few islands on the ocean.â
âIs it an island occupation battle?â The players outside the War Godâs Temple were surprised by the unveiled battlefield, and heated discussions promptly broke out.
However, before anyone could reach a conclusion, the specific rules for the reserve seat competition were listed one after another.
When the players in the plaza saw these rules, they gasped in shock. After all, this competition depended heavily on Guild foundations and leadership.
The use of individual strength would be greatly restricted in this competition. Moreover, if a Guild didnât handle its distribution of teams properly, it might suffer complete annihilation.
âThe rules favor Guilds with greater numbers.â Mu Lingsha frowned as she gazed at the rules displayed above the War Godâs Temple.
The minimum requirement for players in this competition was Tier 3. Even if most of the participating superpowers had roughly the same number of Guild members, there was a huge difference in the number of Tier 3 players.
Take Unyielding Soul, for example. The Guild had only 4,500 or so Tier 3 players. However, the Super Guild Sky Dragon Family had over 8,000.
Of course, the Guilds participating in this competition had 6,000 Tier 3 players on average, so the difference between the participating Guilds wasnât as significant.
Even so, this situation would still create a huge gap between the participating Guilds.
To begin with, each of the Five Great Super Guilds had over 20,000 Tier 3 players. This wasnât a number any of the other superpowers could hope to compete with. This was also why none of the other superpowers held any hopes of competing for the five other reserve seats.
With the revelation of these rules, the gap between the Five Great Super Guilds and the other participating superpowers became even more significant.
For example, the Five Great Super Guilds could form twenty 1,000-man teams each, whereas the other superpowers couldnât even form ten. And given the random assignment to the various islands, the number of islands the Five Great Super Guilds could occupy right off the bat would already be several times higher than what the other superpowers could hold.
To make matters worse, if a Guild couldnât even rank within the top five of an islandâs point ranking, it couldnât leave for other islands to seek greener pastures.
âThese rules are excellent. Miracleâs victory is basically sealed now,â Cold Shadow said, smiling as she read the competition rules.
At this time, Miracleâs upper echelon was also ecstatic.
After all, Miracle had over 13,000 members participating in the competition this time. As to why the Guild could have so many Tier 3 experts, it was thanks entirely to the special tools Mythology provided. These tools allowed Tier 2 experts that had trouble with their promotion to overcome the final hurdle. Although these artificially produced Tier 3 experts were lacking in combat standards compared to other Tier 3 experts, they were still bona fide Tier 3 players and much stronger than Tier 2 players. With the addition of these artificial Tier 3 experts, Miracle had the sixth-largest player count in this competition.
In contrast to Miracleâs upper echelon, Seven Wonders and the rest of Frost Heavenâs upper echelon currently looked pale. Frost Heaven had only a little over 7,500 members participating. The Guild was just barely ranked within the top 10. If not for the competition venue and rules, Frost Heaven could have easily fought for the sixth seat. Now, however, it was evident this wouldnât be possible.
âOur only choice is to take the risk and form more teams. Otherwise, we wonât have a chance of securing a seat,â Seven Wonders stated calmly to the Elders and Grand Elders present.
âThatâs the only thing we can do. Otherwise, we wonât stand a chance against the Guilds with greater numbers,â Hong Xinyuan said, nodding in agreement.
The Grand Elders and Elders present similarly agreed with Seven Wondersâs opinion.
âSince thatâs the case, Iâll start assigning the teams.
âAlthough we have to split our numbers into as many teams as possible, we also need to consider the balance of combat power and the struggle for Resource Nodes. The five Grand Elders and 12 Elders present will each lead a team of 300. Your goal is to secure a Basic Resource Node. If your combat power is lacking, you can merge with another team to secure a Resource Node. âMe, Old Hong, and Brilliant Blue will each lead a team of 500 and the Ten Swords. Weâll do our best to secure an Intermediate Node each, or a Basic Node at the very minimum. The three Vice Guild Leaders will lead the remaining members together with Zero Wing to secure an Advanced Node or an Intermediate Node at minimum.â
Seven Wondersâs distribution was considerably conservative, ensuring the least number of problems for the Guild. Firstly, it ensured that the Guild had enough teams to provide sufficient coverage across the 18 islands. Secondly, every team would more or less have the strength for self-conservation, even if it came across a hostile 1,000-man team.
Of course, the chances of actually coming across a 1,000-man team were relatively low. Since each Guild only had so many players participating in the competition, using these limited players to form 1,000-man teams was a huge extravagance. To spread their influence as wide as possible, the various participating Guilds would naturally form as many teams as possible without compromising their overall combat power.
âWhat do you think?â Seven Wonders asked as he looked at the Guild upper echelon present.
In response, the Guild Elders exchanged looks with each other. However, none of them voiced any objections.
Seven Wonders nodded. âIn that caseââ.
Just as he was about to finalize his decision, however, a low voice entered everyoneâs ears. âI object!â
Immediately, Frost Heavenâs upper echelon turned to look at this voiceâs origin.
The owner of this voice was none other than Shi Feng, who had just arrived.
However, instead of getting upset at Shi Fengâs interjection, Seven Wonders instead asked sincerely, âGuild Leader Black Flame, do you have any better suggestions?â
Following Seven Wondersâs question, the Grand Elders and Elders present also turned to Shi Feng. Their actions showed that they were of the same mind as Seven Wonders, and they all looked forward to hearing Shi Fengâs suggestion.
What happened to these people while I was gone? Shi Feng was a little surprised at Seven Wonders and the othersâ response.
Before he left, these people couldnât even be bothered to look at him. Now, not only did Seven Wondersâs attitude change for the better, but even Frost Heavenâs Grand Elders and Elders had become more amiable.
What Shi Feng didnât know was that news of his frightening battle had already spread. With such terrifying combat power, let alone Frost Heaven, even Super Guilds would treat him respectfully.

However, Shi Feng didnât dwell on the matter.
âI canât say it is a good suggestion.â Calmly, Shi Feng added, âI just think that we should change the grouping slightly.â âHow do we change it?â Seven Wonders asked curiously.
Shi Feng then stretched out an open palm.
âMy suggestion is for Zero Wing to lead five separate 100-man teams, while your Vice Guild Leaders lead the remaining 500 players. This way, we can maximize our combat effectiveness.â
