Chapter 1519: Chapter 947: Plane Exploration (Part 1): Floating City_2
Once coordinates are established, the system will determine that only members of this team have the right to insert World Tree branches on the plane and establish resurrection points.
Of course, the transfer of development rights is not prohibited by the system.
As a result, numerous solo players and small guild players have formed exploration teams to seek out planes, hoping to transfer development rights to larger guilds for a substantial fortune.
These players are referred to as pioneer players.
However, not all pioneer players belong to small organizations; teams like the Optimists rely on one of the strongest guilds in the Elf Kingdom, the Mengmeng Committee.
Since the advent of the plane exploration era, in over ten years, the Optimists have located more than twenty planes.
This achievement is unique among all exploration teams, and the Optimists have demonstrated through their actions that even without a captain, they can continue their journey and remain the strongest in the Elf Kingdom!
Today, they are about to set forth on their journey again.
However, this time, their journey is a bit different...
Segis World, Elf Forest.
The Optimists stood on the rooftop of the Mengmeng Committee’s branch building in Chosen City, looking at the sky with amazement.
High above Chosen City, a magnificent Floating City hovered over the metropolis, with soaring dragons and various flying demon beasts weaving through it, carrying players of all kinds on their backs.
The entire Floating City is circular; rather than resembling a city, it looks more like a large fortress castle, with an estimated area exceeding ten square kilometers.
The energy core of the Floating City consists of six colossal Magic Energy Cores brought back from the Dawn World, designed by the Magic Technology Research Center of the Mengmeng Committee, and jointly crafted by several Tianchao guilds, capable of accommodating over two hundred thousand people.
The Floating City is equipped with over a thousand colossal Magic Crystal Cannons, each possessing Golden Rank power, and additionally, there are ten improved Magic Energy Cannons, whose charged destructive capacity can reach legendary levels.
However, the strongest feature of the Floating City is the magic and divine barrier graced by True God protection, personally crafted by the Demigod Mage, Daniel, prayed for by Divine Favored Zero, and blessed by the Goddess’s presence.
The power exerted by the Divine can alter everything, and after Eve Goddess bestowed her blessings, when fully operational, the divine barrier of this Floating City endows the entire city with an incredible enhancement.
According to Demigod Kai Leici, this terrifying mobile fortress, at full capacity, might even be able to kill a demigod.
This also deeply moved Gugu Bird, the Floating City’s chief designer; a True God remains as such, for in a world transcended by the Divine, no amount of technology rivals the enhancement gained from a single blessing by a True God.
The above are all publicly disclosed data from the official site.
Reflecting on the information he read, the Optimists sincerely feel admiration; he vividly recalls when he first entered the game, where people were still cutting trees for straw huts, and now, within just a few years, they’ve actually built a Floating City.
However, he and his teammates did not return to Chosen City today just to see this Floating Fortress.
This time, they plan to ascend.
"So... are we really leaving the Segis World aboard her? Can we truly succeed?"
Looking at the Guild Leader, Little Xian Miao, and Vice Leader, Gugu Bird, beside him, the Optimists couldn’t resist asking.
"Of course, Optimists big brother. This time our destination lacks a plane channel in the Segis World, or rather... there might have been one, but it was irreversibly destroyed. To get there, we can only use this method."
Little Xian Miao explained.
She sighed and said:
"You know, the difficulty of exploring planes through Segis World will inevitably become increasingly harder in the future; only by stepping out into the void can there be more possibilities."
Upon hearing her words, the Optimists and others nodded in agreement.
Little Xian Miao was right.
Since the new expansion pack launched, plane adventures have become the players’ mainstream activity, and exploration has reached a climax with the advent of development rights protection rules.
Almost daily, new discoveries appear online, as players marvel at the incredible planar map of the Elf Kingdom and yearn evermore for the stars and seas in the game.
However, in over ten years, players have discovered more and more plane channels, while uncharted ones are fewer and fewer.
Although Segis World is considered the universe’s center, not all planes possess channels leading here; once all channels are found, plane exploration will inevitably reach a bottleneck.
Currently, that trend is already underway.
Although the news of finding new planes continues to increase daily, after analyzing big data, the players of the Mengmeng Committee have long noticed the average discovery time per plane is growing.
In other words, the difficulty of exploring new planes has started to increase.
For now, it hasn’t become apparent, simply because with an expanding player base and rising average levels, more players are joining the exploration activities.
Clearly, with time’s progression and the further increase of player numbers, the difficulty of discovering new planes through Segis World’s plane channels will inevitably escalate, until no new planes can be found.
Exploring planes through other methods is inevitable.
The most likely scenario is departing the planes and embarking on a journey in the boundless void.
"But... does this Floating City really have the ability to navigate through the void? Moreover... does its speed support us in finding new planes? That void, when compared to Blue Star’s space, honestly... according to the Elf Kingdom’s ludicrous scale, I seriously doubt we’ll encounter a plane within a decade of drifting in the void."
The Optimists asked again.
This was his biggest doubt.
Little Xian Miao smiled slightly:
"Don’t worry, I’ve already had the leader and Mairrel assess it. Our Floating City has the capability to cross planes and fly in the void, sufficient to lead everyone out, and... resurrection points have been specifically established on it."
"As for the speed... you don’t need to worry either. Lord Daniel helped us by engraving a single-point oriented, ultra-long-distance teleportation array on it. After entering the void, we can rely on continuous teleportation to navigate; each teleportation can cover a distance spanning the entire Segis Continent..."
"Additionally, I’ve inquired from Mairrel who’ve been into the void; the boundless void setting of the Elf Kingdom differs from Blue Star’s space. Within the void, the materialization of planes appears as varying sized clusters of light, with each cluster’s size being considerably smaller, compared to the planes’ area at a ratio of 1:100,000."
"In other words, our Segis Plane, in the void’s form, is merely a few thousand square kilometers light cluster; its radius possibly just a few hundred kilometers. You discover the vastness only upon entering."
"Moreover, it’s said that Segis Universe’s void is not as vast as Blue Star’s space... Mairrel mentioned even Legendary Mages could encounter new planes within ten days to half a month of flying, not to mention we’re using teleportation jumps!"
Upon hearing Little Xian Miao’s words, the Optimists pondered, while Hu Lu curiously asked:
"Teleportation jumps? Do we have enough money to fund one jump after another? Ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays are incredibly expensive, especially for such a huge entity, and it’s a single-point directed teleportation..."
"There’s no need to worry about that. The boundless void is teeming with void energy; after the Goddess’s blessings, our Floating City has acquired the power to recharge using Void Power."
Gugu Bird adjusted her glasses and said.
"I see."
Hu Lu realized.
"Not to mention... our target has long been decided; after leaving the Segis World, we’ll head straight to the target."
Little Xian Miao added with a smile.
"Already decided? Where is it?"
The Optimists were momentarily stunned.
Little Xian Miao smiled and suddenly became serious:
"Optimists big brother, do you remember the Thunder Clan?"
