Three days later, Jiang Yan awoke from his meditation.
In the darkness, a faint connection came from a distant time and space.
He understood that his soul was now bound to the "Worlds," and he could return anytime, anywhere.
"We're safe now."
Jiang Yan stretched his limbs and quietly pondered his next plan.
After completing the registration for "All Realms", it means that you must face the endless abyss.
No one knows where it came from, nor how many levels it has. Even ten years later, the strongest beings within the Star Empire only reached level 49.
It is unknowable, difficult to observe, and impossible to resist.
Fortunately, the "All Realms" used its supreme power to divide the entire passage to the abyss into fragments and seal them in countless worlds, freezing them one by one until the right time to unseal them.
For example, after this round of logins in "All Realms" ends, a new abyss world will be unlocked, and all players who logged in this round must go to that world to resist the abyss's invasion.
Each lord will initially receive a base and a corresponding abyss passage.
Monsters will continuously descend from the abyss passages, and they must be resisted and contained with the assistance of local forces.
If one fails, one will lose the status of a lord and be unable to travel to the "Worlds".
For the faction behind it, it must either spend survival points to freeze the abyss passage or transfer the pressure to another lord, otherwise the out-of-control abyss passage will continue to spread, affecting its companions and the real world.
Furthermore, as the erosion of the abyss in this world increases, the monsters descending into the passages will become increasingly powerful, and resistance will become increasingly difficult.
—Unless someone can completely destroy all the passages, but almost no one can do that.
Because attacking the abyss passage will forcibly summon an abyss demon god whose erosion level is at the upper limit of that plane, and it is almost invincible.
Moreover, each phase involves at least a million lords, and with the existing channels in the region, you would have to kill over a million Abyss Demons to completely close the channels.
Therefore, even with the help of "All Realms", the creatures of the real world are still struggling to survive.
I wonder if the powerful classes of Angel and Undead Emperor can achieve this.
Jiang Yan pondered to himself.
Legend has it that if someone could truly destroy all the abyssal passages in a world, that world would become a safe zone, no longer threatened by the abyss. Even if the real world were destroyed, they could guide their fellow beings to settle down in that world.
"Beep! Master, a visit request has been received."
At that moment, the crystal watch on my wrist gave a notification.
Jiang Yan looked over and saw that it was the ambassador of the Star Empire who had come to visit.
Representatives from these various factions had already arranged a time with him two days prior.
The saying goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling at you." Even though he had already decided to stay in the Federation, there was no need to refuse to see him and completely offend him.
After tidying himself up a bit, Jiang Yan went downstairs to greet him.
Besides the ambassador we had seen earlier, there was another well-dressed man with a faint star-shaped mark between his eyebrows, clearly a member of the Star Empire's royal family.
A Federation human followed at the very end.
"Young Master Jiang, I apologize for disturbing you. It's just that time is of the essence, so please forgive me," Ambassador Xinghuan said warmly upon meeting him.
"Not at all, please come in," Jiang Yan replied with a smile.
He understood what the other person meant.
After registering in "All Realms", you must confirm your faction and enter the Abyss World within ten days.
For example, if he chooses to enter from the Federation, then everything he has in the Abyss World will be bound to the Federation. If his Abyss Passage is breached, it will also affect the Abyss Rift Erosion Level of the Federation in the real world.
Conversely, the same applies.
Therefore, these forces are all eager to win over each other within these ten days.
"Young Master Jiang, let me introduce you. This is His Highness Luo Baiyu, the seventh prince of our Starry Sky Empire," the Starry Sky Ambassador said.
"Nice to meet you." Luo Baiyu extended his right hand.
"I didn't expect Your Highness to know the Federation's etiquette." Jiang Yan reached out, somewhat surprised.
“Young man, you may not know this, but our Highness has gone to learn the etiquette of the Federation.” The ambassador added from the side.
Luo Baiyu smiled noncommittally and waved his hand to project a virtual list.
"Jiang Yan, I've never liked beating around the bush, so I'll just say it straight."
"The Empire, including my father, greatly admires you. We have come with sincerity. You can take a look; I guarantee that the conditions far exceed what any other power can offer. As long as you are willing to join the Empire, all of these will be fulfilled within 10 days."
Jiang Yan looked over subconsciously.
1. Ten master-level support professionals.
2. Five epic-level building blueprints and one legendary-level blueprint.
3. Epic-level full set of equipment.
4. Resources are allocated to the Star Empire's directly subordinate factions.
5...
There are 37 articles in total, covering almost all aspects except those prohibited by "All Realms".
Support professions, including spirit array masters and spirit food masters, can build defensive arrays for the base and create magical foods that can upgrade its level.
They can sign a subservient pact with the lord, joining his ranks and entering the same base. With their assistance, it's like adding wings to a tiger.
Leaving aside the various blueprints, the blueprints in "All Realms" are not categorized by specific item before use, only by level. After use, they automatically generate a random building related to the user's clan. In his previous life as a god, he only had one epic-level building.
Other conditions are also exceptionally valuable.
"That's quite a generous gesture," Jiang Yan thought to himself.
"Furthermore, we will provide the Federation with some support to compensate for the pressure of the vacant positions you leave behind." Seeing Jiang Yan remain silent, Luo Baiyu continued, "The Empire has always been very generous in its treatment of talented individuals. You only need to sign the faction transfer contract, and we will take care of everything else for you, so you will have no worries."
“Yes, Junior Jiang.” The third person, who had been silent until now, suddenly stepped forward and said, “I don’t know if you know me, my name is Chen Shan, and I also graduated from the Department of Conducting.”
"Senior Brother Chen, of course I've heard of you. You're three years ahead of me, and your name is on the monument to outstanding graduates."
"I can't claim to be outstanding. Back then, I only managed to pass the difficult level. Not to mention Jiang, I wasn't even the best among my peers." Chen Shan said with a rather smug smile, "But look at my strength now."
"Demigod level?"
“That’s right. As far as I know, the other students who passed the difficult level at the same time are now only at Diamond Rank 9 at most. But after I joined the Star Empire, I have far surpassed them.” Chen Shan suddenly looked at Jiang Yan and said meaningfully, “Junior Jiang, you are a smart person. I believe you understand that many times, choice is more important than effort.”
“I agree with that,” Jiang Yan said with a faint smile.
"So, what's your choice?" The members of the Star Empire laughed.
"But I'm probably a stupid person."
Jiang Yan said with a hint of apology, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness and the Empire, but I have already decided to stay in the Federation."
