Chapter 221: Chapter221-Average Level Completed, New Game Features Appear
Only now did Gurok realize that he had completely underestimated Zar.
Although this man seemed to be around the same level as him, his strength was actually far beyond his own.
"With his strength, he could have completely crushed me.
"But he didn’t do so. Could it be because he’s wary of the Demon Progenitor?"
Just as Gurok was thinking this, a faint voice came from behind him.
"I’ll let you experience what a true demon race member is."
At that moment, Zar’s fist suddenly appeared once again, actually blasting toward Gurok’s only remaining head.
Just as Gurok’s head was about to be shattered, the Demon Progenitor’s voice suddenly rang out in the sky.
"Zar, stop."
However, it was already too late.
Boom! Boom!
Along with two deafening explosions, two terrifying waves of fist force plunged directly into Gurok’s head.
Gurok’s head exploded on the spot.
It was blown apart so thoroughly that not even a trace remained.
But very quickly, white light flashed over his headless corpse, and a new head appeared.
As he listened to the punishment notification ringing in his ears, Gurok’s figure flashed and returned to midair.
Opposite him, Zar was already standing with his hands behind his back, his face full of smiles, as though he had not been the one who had launched the attack just now.
The exchange between the two sides had happened in an instant.
Even though the Demon Progenitor had withdrawn his attention in time, he had still failed to stop it.
He could only watch helplessly as Gurok was killed once.
"Zar, you have crossed the line."
The Demon Progenitor gave a displeased cold snort.
"This is not the Hess Continent. You are not allowed to slaughter the innocent here as you please. Moreover, the one you killed was my disciple."
Zar, however, said lazily, "Lord Demon Progenitor, you had better understand this clearly. It was your disciple who provoked me first. According to the rules of the demon race, I had to kill him once before we could be considered even.
"Besides, I already held back. Otherwise, your disciple’s head would have exploded one more time by now."
Hearing this, the Demon Progenitor was immediately left speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since you possess the strength to instantly kill my disciple, your strength should not be much different from that John’s.
"In that case, when you head to the human world later, you must join forces with Gurok to deal with John.
"There must not be any accidents in this demon race invasion."
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Zar’s attack, the Demon Progenitor had already witnessed Zar’s true strength, and his evaluation of him rose another level.
An existence like Zar might very well have the opportunity to advance to the same Demon Progenitor position in the future.
Since that was the case, he had to either suppress him in advance or cultivate him in advance.
And this demon race invasion would be an opportunity. Whether it was suppression or cultivation, there would be plenty of room to maneuver.
As for the punishment for Gurok’s death, he could also use this opportunity to see whether it needed to be imposed.
After all, to the demon race, the true interest would always be the demon race itself, not Gurok alone.
When Zar heard the Demon Progenitor’s words, he nodded slightly. "Don’t worry. Leave John to me.
"Even if he can show off a little on the Hess Continent, once he comes to our side, I will make him understand that the demon race is the true ruler.
"This time, he absolutely won’t be able to return alive!"
When Gurok heard this from the side, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Who could understand better than him just how powerful John was? He did not believe that Zar could contend against him.
This trip to the human world would give him more opportunities to try and see whether he could recover his original identity.
However, if John’s strength was not as powerful as he imagined, then he would naturally go with the flow and allow the demon race to occupy the human world.
In short, compared to these demon race members, as a player, he possessed an extremely large degree of freedom in terms of identity.
...
At the same time, in the human world.
Notification sounds rang in the ears of all Overlord Guild members.
[Player average level completed. Change notification will now be issued.]
[Player average level completed. Change notification will now be issued.]
[The minimum average level of all players has been raised to Level 250.]
[Player Equipment Sharing System unlocked.]
[Player Skill Gifting System unlocked.]
[Player Cross Zone System unlocked.]
[Player Class Advancement System unlocked.]
[Updated and upgraded rewards.]
[Guild History System activated.]
[Average Reward: all players whose level is lower than the guild leader’s can permanently enjoy a double experience and double gold coin buff.]
[Players whose level exceeds or equals the guild leader’s can receive a reward of 100 billion experience and 10 million gold coins. However, there is a time limit. They must surpass him within one month.]
...
One announcement after another directly blew up the entire group of members.
They frantically spammed messages in the guild channel.
[Aaron] (Member): "This is amazing! The minimum level was directly raised to Level 250. That increased me by almost 100 levels!"
[Alice] (Member): "I can’t even imagine how terrifying the guild leader’s level must be now. He actually raised the levels of all guild players to this extent."
[Gareth] (Member): "And there’s also this permanent double experience and double gold coin bonus. It’s practically a divine skill!"
[Leah] (Member): "But almost no one can obtain that reward, right? After all, none of us will ever surpass the guild leader."
[Rook] (Member): "Sigh, be content. Having this many rewards is already more than enough."
...
Inside the City Lord Mansion, notification sounds rang in John’s ears.
[Congratulations. You used the scroll to update the levels of all guild players and have obtained a special reward.]
[Fame +10,000,000, gold coins +1,000,000, Divine Class Points +100!]
[Congratulations. The player Cross Zone System has been triggered!]
[Congratulations. As the current highest-level holder in the guild, you have obtained a permanent Divine Class Points doubling bonus!]
Hearing the notifications, John’s expression shifted slightly. He had not expected that using the Player Average Level Scroll would also grant such a reward.
He immediately opened the Cross Zone System to check it.
[Cross Zone System: Breaks through regional barriers. Players from different servers may now freely form cross-server teams, trade, and engage in PK.]
The Cross Zone System only had one very brief description.
But this function revealed infinite possibilities.
John’s heart immediately stirred.
"Does this count as an early server merge in some sense? Although Zone 1 and Zone 2 are still not under my rule, with this Cross Zone System, I can spread my influence infinitely into the regions where they are located.
"It will also pave the way for a true server merge later.
"This Cross Zone System is simply perfect."
More importantly, this Cross Zone System could only be used by members of the Overlord Guild.
As for the players of Zone 2 and Zone 1, they could only passively receive it, allowing the members of Zone 5 under Chen Yuan to cross zones.
This was practically like another form of master-servant contract.
It would definitely be useful for the future server merge and for John’s rule over the people of Zone 1 and Zone 2.
"However, the most urgent matter is still to deal with the current demon race invasion first. I can think about how to use the Cross Zone System to strengthen my influence over Zone 1 and Zone 2 afterward."
John’s eyes flickered. He gathered his thoughts and began arranging for the members of the Overlord Guild to respond to the demon race invasion.
