Chapter 1050: Modify the rules again
"Twenty-four hours have passed, and the Invisibility Cloak has reappeared. Doesn't that mean that by using these companion pets, we can continue to reincarnate day after day, endlessly, until the last day of the leaderboard ends and we enter the single infinite challenge mode. Only then will we have a chance to knock the Golden War God Halberd off the top spot?"
"Oh my god, they can still do this? Then we won't have anything to watch. There are still several days until the end of the leaderboard."
"Let me count. There are a total of thirteen mythical companion pets. That's quite scary. If an ordinary guardian were to meet him, I'm afraid there would be no chance of winning, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. Some powerful guardians possess group kill abilities, so even a large number of low-level mythical companion pets are useless."
"Haha, I originally thought it would be a battle between guardians, but I didn't expect that in the next few days, I might not see any guardians."
"It's a pity that pure humans can't appear. Otherwise, I'd really like to see what the scene would be like if these companion pets appeared with a person."
As everyone was discussing, they suddenly noticed that the dazzling light appeared again above the cube fighting arena.
This time, the dazzling creature was even more direct. Upon appearing, it announced, "The time for companion pets to accept challenges has been shortened to three minutes. Failure to accept the challenge within three minutes will be considered a forfeit."
After saying that, the dazzling creature flew away into the air and disappeared.
"Why is it only targeting companion pets? Why aren't guardians restricted?"
"This is clearly discrimination against humans. Not allowing pure humans to participate is one thing, but even companion pets are being targeted by these repeated rule changes. Why not just not allow companion pets to participate? Why are you still so hypocritical? It's disgusting."
"What can we do? The rules were made by the extra-dimensional creatures. This is their game. They can change it however they want. Humans are nothing."
"I'm so fucking angry. They like to play this way, they have the capital to play this way, and when they can't win, they change the rules. It's so fucking shameless."
"If you can't afford it, then don't play. Why not just state that only Guardians can participate in the battle?"
The last time the rules were changed, some people gloated over it, but this time, many people are speaking up for the owners of the companion pets.
It’s not that they have any feelings for these companion pets, nor do they really like to stand up for the weak. It’s just that they have seen through the essence of the ranking battle by modifying the rules again from another dimension.
This is not a game for humans at all. Even humans' companion pets have been targeted time and time again. This feeling makes people very uncomfortable.
"The challenge acceptance time has been changed to three minutes, so we need twice as many companion pets in one day to complete the top of the list. Even if it is any one of the six major families, it may not be easy to gather twenty-four mythical companion pets." Zhang Chunqiu sighed.
"Is there no other way?" Zhang Yuzhi said, looking at the golden war halberd on the screen.
"There's no way, unless more mythical companion pets join the battle. But even if we gather twenty-four mythical companion pets, the extra-dimensional creatures can still modify the rules again." Zhang Chunqiu said.
"In that case, what's the point of customizing rules?" Zhang Yuzhi said.
"It doesn't make any sense. For the other dimension, it's just a game, but for our Earth, this game may determine our fate in the coming year," said Zhang Chunqiu.
"Is it that serious? If you win first place, will you really become the king of the earth? I don't think so." Zhang Yuzhi disagreed with Zhang Chunqiu's point of view.
"It's very serious, so serious that it's unimaginable." Zhang Chunqiu said seriously.
"If it's so serious, why don't you stop it?" Zhang Yuzhi asked in confusion.
"We're trying, but time is running out." Zhang Chunqiu smiled. "But the situation isn't that bad. After all, the Guardians participating in the battle must rely on the power of humans to go further. Perhaps those humans can influence the Guardians."
"The Guardians are growing, but the strength of humans themselves is stagnant. Their influence will only become weaker and weaker. How much effect can they have?" Zhang Yuzhi obviously knew what the Guardians were.
"That may not be the case. There is still another way." Zhang Chunqiu said with narrowed eyes.
"You mean Ya and Wang Mingyuan and the others..." Zhang Yuzhi was shocked.
"What they can do may not be impossible for our Zhang family with its capabilities," said Zhang Chunqiu.
"But that would mean..." Zhang Yuzhi didn't finish the rest of the sentence.
"Becoming a monster, huh?" Zhang Chunqiu leaned over the railing, looking at Longhu Mountain in the distance and said, "It's sometimes really hard to distinguish between humans and monsters. If I had to choose between a monster and a slave, I'd rather become a monster."
As he spoke, Zhang Chunqiu turned around and smiled brightly at Zhang Yuzhi: "Of course, it's the kind of monster that doesn't eat humans."
At the Dugu family in the South District, Dugu Ge was also watching the live broadcast. There was no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Second uncle, is it really impossible for humans to ascend to mythology by their own strength?" Dugu Ge was still in a daze, but he asked Dugu Chong who was standing beside him.
"No one can do it yet." Dugu Chong replied.
Dugu Ge seemed to have known the answer long ago, and continued to mutter to himself, "Our Dugu family has studied for so many years, but we still haven't found a way for humans to ascend to mythical status. Is it really true that we can only follow Wang Mingyuan's old path?"
"That's not the case. In fact, our family's research over the years has made some progress. For example, the technique of combining humans and Gu may allow humans to become mythical beings." Dugu Chong said.
Dugu Ge shook his head and said, "You're just deceiving yourself. What's the difference between the so-called human-gu fusion and Wang Mingyuan's? He only uses the Guardian, while we use the Gu. We both become monsters, there's no difference."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Humans' inherent talents are extremely flawed, and there's an unbridgeable gap between them and the mythical level." Dugu Chong was also a little helpless.
When he was young, he was as passionate as Dugu Ge and the others, and wanted to rely on his own strength to ascend to the mythical level. However, after so many years, the poisonous insects he raised were indeed promoted to the mythical level, but he himself was only at the epic peak and could not make any further progress.
"Forget it, let's first see how the owners of those companion pets are going to deal with it. It would be difficult for even the six major families now to gather twenty-four mythical companion pets in a short time, right? Even if they could gather them, no one would expose all their strength in public." Dugu Ge watched the live broadcast of the Golden God of War Halberd with great interest.
