Today's first update: Chapter 3181! 1/4!
When the cold, merciless rule announcement representing the Battlefield Will resounded across the world, clearly proclaiming the iron law of the Tier-A Chasm that would end the Second Tier War, the first reaction of most powerhouses and decision-makers among the myriad races was to instinctively turn their attention to the existing Tier-A Sequence races.
They urgently compared the point totals of all four hundred Tier-A Races ranked from 101st to 500th, trying to find a sliver of hope—a lucky one capable of meeting that harsh "fivefold" requirement.
However, when the cruel data lay bare before them, revealing that even the strongest, first-ranked Tier-A Race had only reached 4.8 times the required score and still remained quite far from the finish line, a profound sense of powerlessness and a haze of near despair instantly descended upon countless races.
In their eyes, the rule's requirements were simply too far removed from reality, so far that there seemed to be virtually no possibility of achieving them naturally.
If the rule could not be met, then the Second Tier War, which had consumed countless lives and resources, would never end!
If the second phase could not end, then the Third Tier War—the Holy War that would determine the final rankings—would remain indefinitely out of reach.
That was tantamount to declaring that this Millennium Period's War of the Myriad Races would likely fall into a terrifying cycle of endless bloodshed and attrition!
This was absolutely not a future any race seeking stability and development wished to see.
Perhaps some onlookers might naïvely ask, "Since the rule is so harsh, why not simply stop fighting? Everyone could cease hostilities, withdraw their troops back to their own races when the battlefield opens, and maintain the status quo."
Heh. Anyone who
