The other two Vice-Leaders of the Witch Alliance also gathered with them, and hearing their sisters' conversation, they looked puzzled, "Leader, what are you talking about?"
Lin Qingxian smiled faintly, "Nothing, we should go back."
The other two nodded.
"It's time to go back. With the Dark Tide over, the gate to the Lord World has also opened."
"Let's go. I wonder what the death ratio between the War Lord and the Dungeon Lord is this time. It's probably even worse, especially since all the soul crystals were taken by that level 10 guy."
"Indeed, it used to be only 3% left. Now it's probably only 1%? Or... less than 1%?"
As they spoke, several people tapped on their systems, and their figures vanished from the Dark World.
With their disappearance, the Dark World seemed to press a pause button, and no further changes would occur. After the Dark Tide, the world entered a phase of immense change.
During this period, all forces were forbidden from leaving their territories. Otherwise, they could easily be destroyed by some power of the world's will, turning into dust with no chance of survival.
In the Great Xia Alliance, several people in the Alliance also bid each other farewell.
Li Siya: "Everyone, go take care of your own matters after you return. On the morning of the second day, wait at the entrance of the Sky Tavern."
Zhang Tianle: "Received!"
Bai Yunkong: "Received!"
Zhang Luoluo: "Received!"
There are currently 10 people in the group, and the other 5 Dungeon Lords also received the message.
Afterward, after arranging matters in their respective territories, everyone returned to the Lord World one by one.
Chen Yu was no exception.
With the Contract Adventurer absent, Lina and Effie could only temporarily manage the territory, but there wasn't much to manage. The entire territory had only a few hundred people, and everyone could take care of themselves.
Chen Yu only gave a few brief instructions.
Then he opened the system and, in response to its prompt, chose to return to the Lord World.
A flash of light, and Chen Yu disappeared from his spot.
Lord World.
Awakening Square.
A massive light gate stood at the end of the square, connecting to the Dark World.
There were many such squares in the Lord World.
At this moment, one Lord after another emerged from the light gate, all with their heads held high and faces full of vigor.
Only a very small portion looked dejected and dispirited.
It was clear that most people had a good time in the Dark World.
"Lord World, I'm back again..."
Under the massive light curtain, Chen Yu's figure appeared, a tiny speck compared to the vast curtain.
Last time, when he first transmigrated, he was in a hurry.
Chen Yu didn't have time to observe this place carefully.
After a careful observation this time, he realized that this Awakening Square actually had some technological elements.
For example, the machines used for awakening were made of a material that resembled some kind of alloy.
And the light curtain behind him, while seemingly pure magic, faintly emitted some mechanical operating sounds from within.
"That's strange. Did the system also incorporate technology when it was created? Or rather... was the system originally created by a highly advanced civilization?"
Chen Yu's eyes were filled with doubt.
He looked up at the LED screen above, where lines of the latest news were flashing.
【The Dark Tide is approaching, a new round is about to begin】 Countdown: 71:52:58.
【Newbie Lords Return】 Current Newbie Lord Survival Rate: War Lord 68% vs Dungeon Lord 20%.
【Previous Strongest Rookie King】 Saint Lingyun successfully summoned a Twelve-Winged Archangel and is about to clash with the former Rookie King, Sun Mengmeng. In the battle between the Twelve-Winged Archangel and the Golden Behemoth, who will claim the championship?
...
One piece of news after another fell into the eyes of the Lords emerging from the system's light gate.
"Wow, a showdown between two strongest Rookie Kings! This will be interesting after the Dark Tide. Although Sun Mengmeng had an early start, this Saint Lingyun developed very quickly. I heard he's going to challenge Sun Mengmeng after this seal is lifted."
Two girls discussed nearby. Judging by their conversation, they seemed to be Lords from the same period as Saint Lingyun and had some understanding of him.
"I heard that Saint Lingyun also has a younger brother named Saint Lingfeng, who also awakened an Angel troop. After this period of development, he's probably already dominating his area, right?"
"That's for sure... Angel troops are formidable at any stage, and their strength increases rapidly as they grow. His brother has probably already awakened Four-Winged or even Six-Winged Angels."
"This Angel Clan truly lives up to its reputation as a top family in the Lord World. No matter who comes out from them, they can become a hegemon. It would be great if we could establish a connection with them."
The two girls sighed.
In the Lord World, only a few could compare to the Angel Clan. Other powerful troop types either lacked bloodline inheritance and relied entirely on awakening, or their Lord numbers were too scarce to form a scale.
This battle between Saint Lingyun and Sun Mengmeng also represented a showdown between two top races, Angels and Behemoths.
The outcome would directly affect the reputation of the two top families.
"Speaking of which... after this Dark Tide, Saint Lingyun's brother, Saint Lingfeng, should also have a layer of his seal lifted and join this struggle for supremacy. Will the two brothers team up to deal with Sun Mengmeng?"
"This..."
The other girl was about to answer but immediately closed her mouth when she saw someone coming out of the light gate beside them.
She quietly pulled her companion's shoulder, telling her not to speak too much, as discussing such matters in this environment could easily cause trouble.
She immediately changed the subject, "Look... the survival rate of Newbie Lords this time is quite strange. The War Lord's survival rate has actually decreased to only 68%, and the most outrageous thing is... the Dungeon Lord's survival rate is actually 20%?"
"You're right, it is a bit strange... In the past, the Dungeon Lord's survival rate was always around 3%-5%. Even 5% was considered a gathering of wealthy people. This time it's actually 20%. Could it be that so many of this batch of Dungeon Lords are from aristocratic families?"
It's a recognized fact that in the early stages, Dungeon Lords could only survive by purchasing popular Dungeon IPs.
80% of all surviving Dungeon Lords were like this, with only the remaining 20% surviving through sheer strength. However, even those who persevered would find it difficult to continue in the next wave to the Dark World.
