Damn it, I finally found a resource vein, but ended up with nothing.

What a miserable situation.

The thought of all his previous efforts being wasted made Chunming very angry.

Now, apart from his own plane, the void resources he controlled were extremely limited.

Either they were small celestial bodies with minimal mining resources, or they were semiplanes jointly developed with other players, which while rich in resources, had high extraction difficulties.

He thought finding a deserted meteor cluster would make him prosperous.

But who knew it would end like this? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and now that there was no one to vent to, he felt even more frustrated.

After a while, having vented his emotions, he calmed down and his eyes turned cold.

What if I join forces with others and strike back? The rich mineral resources on the meteor were indeed hard for Chunming to resist.

But relying solely on his own strength, even defeating those metal giants was somewhat challenging.

Not to mention just that demagod metal giant leader was enough of a hassle.

If a few ninth tier powerhouses surrounded him and severely injured him, it wouldn't be impossible.

That's right.

It was that dire.

Compared to players within organizations like Blood Dawn, players like Chunming were not fairing well.

Their early accumulation was not deep enough.

So after advancing to the intermediate realm, they did not experience a qualitative change.

Their divine body strength was barely at the demagod level.

Situated between ordinary demagods and highle demagods, this level of strength might suffice to bully some weak void beast kings.

But when encountering tough opponents, they would definitely be in a difficult position.

And it was clear that the demagod metal giant leader was one of the toughest opponents.

His overwhelming vitality made Chunming question his life.

Since relying on himself was not feasible, he could only seek external assistance.

Having advanced for so long, Chunming naturally could not remain alone.

Realizing the importance of organizations, he had been seeking avenues to join larger organizations.

However, no major organization was willing to accept him.

After some setbacks, Chunming joined a small organization nearby.

The members of this organization were in similar situations to Chunming.

To survive better, they had to unite and form a mutual aid alliance.

After all, not every player had the ability to develop the void and conquer planes.

If one person couldn't stand, then they would gather as a group.

Although the benefits would be less, it was still better than having nothing.

Now, Chunming held such a thought.

Since he couldn't handle the metal giants on that meteor alone, he would call others to join him.

With a dozen demagods working together, even if that metal giant leader was strong, he would surely be annihilated on the spot.

However, this idea only lingered in Chuning<unk>s mind for a moment before he directly dismissed it.

After casting several mental clarity spells on himself, his mind completely cleared up.

He slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, "I can't believe I was crazy enough to think about going after those monsters.

" In Shinming's view, those players ranked at the top are real monsters.

Back in the elementary realm, everyone hadn't fully developed yet and could rely on their numbers to put up a fight.

Now, it's been a long time since they've advanced to the intermediate realm.

With the foundation of those big shots, who knows how much they've developed by now.

Although he hasn't seen the opposing forces, Chinming suspects that the entire organization he belongs to with a dozen players combined wouldn't even match the scale of Yongya alone.

Shaking his head, Chunming felt a bit of fear that S Yongya the second in the Eastern District.

I'm a low-ranking noob.

And while it's one thing not to curry favor, I actually dared to have designs on him.

What a death wish.

Wait, curry favor? After thinking for a moment, Chun Ming muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Although this might be a bit embarrassing, it doesn't seem impossible.

If I could grab onto the thigh of this top player, even a little trash he gives me would be enough to fill me up.

Chunming fell into contemplation, and gradually a thought began to form in his mind.

Time flies and before he knew it, it had been 43 years since the Yongya Empire unified the entire plane and the Yongya monarch fell into slumber in the Yongya plane.

In Yongya city, the capital of the empire, newly expanded, has reached a grandeur that surpasses human imagination.

The sturdy metal city walls, hundreds of meters high, twist and coil like a giant dragon, towering majestically with an imposing presence.

Ancient forbidden inscriptions are carved into the walls, possessing terrifying power.

They interconnect to form a citywide protective magic array that once fully deployed can unleash world destroying power in an instant.

Cannon after cannon of magical energy sits at top the walls with long and straight barrels entirely black, gleaming with a metallic luster.

And just looking at them instills a sense of the terrifying power they contain.

Inside the city, numerous magical towers stand tall.

The towers reach a height of 100 m like giant swords thrust into the city.

Unremarkable in appearance, but when they fully bloom, they could change the world.

Besides various machinery and equipment, tall black armored soldiers patrol the area.

They are much taller than normal humans, averaging 3 m in height, resembling small giants.

The entire city feels like an ultra- massive war fortress capable of destroying any invading enemies once activated.

However, that said, the defensive system of Yongya City doesn't te even rank in the top 10 within the empire.

After all, Yongya City is the imperial capital located at the core of the empire, making it impossible for any force to reach here.

Even if we take a step back and assume a force does reach here, then no defense system would matter.

Thus, for the empire, the defensive system of Yongya city serves more as a decorative facade, a mere show of strength.

From a distance, one can feel the grandeur and magnificence of Yongya City.

But stepping inside is an entirely different experience.

It feels magical.

It's as if one has entered a fantastical world where one can see a high combination of magic and technology.

Towering buildings reach 100 meters, maintaining an incredible form under the glow of magic.

Their surfaces embedded with glowing gemstones that emit a soft light at night, illuminating the entire city.

The streets are wide and clean with no garbage in sight.

Various strange magical plants are planted along the streets, thriving in the rich spiritual energy.

Some even blooming with phosphoresence at night, adding a touch of mystery to the city.

Occasionally, citizens can be seen riding flying carpets overhead, moving at incredible speeds, yet with remarkable stability, following routes laid out by the Empire as if traveling on a high altitude highway.

These flying carpets are products of the Empire's technology and magic.

Utilizing special magic arrays to control flight direction and speed, requiring only a small amount of crystal stones to operate, thanks to the magic array covering the entire city.

On the ground, horsedrawn carriages are still used, driven by specially bred exotic beasts.

The continued use of such primitive biological power does not imply that the Yongya Empire lacks better, more convenient forms of propulsion.

Whether it's magical puppets or the undead, both are excellent power sources.

However, compared to those lifeless entities, the citizens of the Empire still prefer living creatures.

The feeling of conquering other life forms is quite refreshing for them.

After nearly half a century of development during which various technologies were acquired, the technological advancement of Yonga Empire has exceeded imagination leading to an improvement in the standard of living reaching its current level.

At the center of Yongya city stands a lielike statue of a deity representing the ultimate faith of all beings in the Yongya Empire, the Yongya monarch.

The statue is immensely tall, reaching into the clouds and overlooking the entire city.

Its face is stern, eyes calm, dressed in black armor, holding a book in its left hand and a sword in its right, exuding divine majesty, resembling a tyrannical king ruling over the world.

yet also like a wise sage guiding civilization forward.

Taking decades to create using countless rare materials and crafted by the empire's most outstanding sculptors in collaboration with the Imperial Research Institute.

This is not only a work of art, but also a terrifying war machine.

Every day, a large number of citizens of the empire come to worship, praying to the deity, offering their loyalty and faith.

Today is no exception as thousands of Yongya citizens are praying.

Suddenly, boom.

A loud noise broke the tranquility of the place.

Chapter 241.

Awakening.

Change.
