The National Conference
Parliament Hall of the Dragon Nation <Cloud Sea> Administration Bureau.
An elderly man, dressed in a crisp Zhongshan suit, sat upright at the head of the main hall. His expression was calm, his collar was buttoned up, and his brows revealed composure and dignity.
Have the players who created the Heaven-Tier Skill been found?
From over a month ago until now, the <Cloud Sea> system has been broadcasting news of the successful creation of six Heaven-Tier Skills. Among them, apart from Night Blade Mercenary Group Ye Bugu, the owners of the other five Heaven-Tier Skill chose to remain anonymous.
The emergence of each Heaven-Tier Skill is crucial to the game and even the nation behind the player. These days, all nations on Blue Star are searching for the owners of these Heaven-Tier Skills, and the Dragon Nation is no exception.
"Chief, our undercover investigations these past few days have covered every human settlement in the Cloud Sea, but we haven't found those five Heaven-Tier Skill holders."
The speaker was Zhou He, the leader in charge of the players in the Cloud Sea Military Department.
The Cloud Sea Military Department urgently needs Heaven-Tier Skill holder. Ever since the system broadcast the announcement, the Military Department has been searching for someone who can create Heaven-Tier Skill, but unfortunately, they haven't found one yet.
Upon hearing this, the old man frowned.
"Have any other countries discovered individuals who created Heaven-Tier Skill?"
If they're not from their Dragon Nation, then they must be players from other countries. The old man's face darkened. If these five players were from different countries, that would be fine, but if they were from the same country, that would be terrible!
"No, according to our information, other countries are searching for someone who can create a Heaven-Tier Skill, and so far, no country has found a new player who can create Heaven-Tier Skill," Zhou He replied.
"If they're not in the Dragon Nation, nor in any other country, then where are these creators of Heaven-Tier Skill?"
This is too strange! It would be understandable if one or two of the five anonymous creators of Heaven-Tier Skill couldn't be found, but it's a bit abnormal that all five of them can't be found.
A hush fell over the conference room; everyone lowered their eyes and remained silent.
After a long while, Zhou He seemed to think of something and suddenly stood up.
"Chief, will these five players who created the Heaven-Tier Skill be in the Novice Zone?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up.
Novice Zone? Is that even possible?
It's important to understand that the creation of every Heaven-Tier Skill is built upon a massive accumulation of experience and countless trials and errors.
It's an open secret that players below level 50 cannot create Heaven-Tier Skill.
How could a complete novice, someone who has never played the game before, possibly create a Heaven-Tier Skill?
"Chief, the game has been infiltrating for ten years. Today's new players are not as clueless as we were when we first entered the game. They already have access to a lot of game information before entering. Who can guarantee that there aren't exceptionally talented players among them?"
Zhou He's words jolted everyone awake.
Yes, the world is never short of geniuses. Who can say that players can't create Heaven-Tier Skill as soon as they enter the game?
"Furthermore, upon closer examination, the first and second Heaven-Tier Skill were successfully created on the day of the college entrance examination, which also coincides with the time they logged into the game to create the skills. I think this is not a coincidence; at least two of the players who created these five Heaven-Tier Skills were beginners."
As soon as Zhou He finished speaking, everyone present unconsciously sat up straight.
If the person who created the Heaven-Tier Skill is indeed a novice player, this is a significant event for the entire Human Race, and a revolutionary one for players of <Cloud Sea>.
This shows that the players' strength is increasing, which is a good thing.
The elderly man at the head of the table suddenly stood up, his eyes resolute.
"Contact the Village Chief of each Novice Village and ask them to investigate, especially the Novice Village Zone 1 and Zone 2 starting villages, and make sure they investigate thoroughly."
If we're talking about players most likely to create Heaven-Tier Skill, it's definitely in the Novice Village Zone 1 and Zone 2 starting villages. Moreover, the factions in these two Novice Village are intricately intertwined, so there's a possibility of things being concealed.
"Yes, Chief!" The old man spoke again just as Zhou He was about to go down to carry out the order.
"By the way, any news about the player who created the God-Tier Skill?"
The moment the old man spoke, everyone's expression changed.
Two weeks ago, the system suddenly announced that a player had created God-Tier Skill, which caused quite a stir worldwide.
After ten years of gaming intrusion, players are very clear about the skill levels in <Cloud Sea>.
The four levels: Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow.
But now, a "God Rank" skill has suddenly appeared in the world.
It not only breaks players' existing understanding, but also acts as a signal, foreshadowing some new kind of power.
These days, all countries are frantically searching for the owner of this God-Tier Skill —in games, in reality, in their own countries, and in other countries—they're practically digging to the ends of the earth.
Unfortunately, there has been no news since.
Previously, the White Race Nation was making a huge fuss, claiming that their country's strongest player Cannon, was a player who created God-Tier Skill.
At that time, many players from other countries infiltrated the White Race Nation region to investigate, including those from the Dragon Nation.
Keep in mind that Cannon was already one of the four Heaven-Tier Skill owners. If he creates another God-Tier Skill, he will firmly hold the position of the strongest in the Cloud Sea.
No one knows just how powerful God-Tier Skill are. The fact that players from other countries have created God-Tier Skill is not good news for the Dragon Nation.
Fortunately, after investigation, it turned out that all of this was just boasting from the White Race Nation.
Zhou He shook his head awkwardly. He couldn't find any players who could create Heaven-Tier Skill, let alone God Rank ones. They didn't even know how to find them.
"No, this player is very mysterious; we have no leads whatsoever."
The old man sighed in disappointment, "I wonder which country the player who possesses this God-Tier Skill belongs to."
The power of Heaven-Tier Skill far exceeds human comprehension; how powerful must God-Tier Skill be?
I can't imagine it, and I dare not even think about it.
"The Shen Family still hasn't agreed to explore the secret realm?" the old man turned to ask about another matter.
A few days ago, when the National Team players were exploring the Cloud Sea, they discovered a mysterious secret realm for twenty people in a glacier, but the exploration resulted in heavy casualties.
According to players who survived, the secret realm was extremely mysterious, and its contents were beyond their comprehension.
The nation considered the exploration of this secret realm to be of great significance, so it dispatched Jian Qingfeng and nineteen level 70 National Team with complete Earth-Tier Skill chains to explore it.
Jian Qingfeng is one of the two players in the Dragon Nation who possess Heaven-Tier Skill.
To everyone's surprise, the exploration failed again, and only eight of the twenty people returned alive.
According to Jian Qingfeng, many people died inexplicably before they even saw the secret realm boss.
It's no exaggeration to say that this secret realm is a hundred times more difficult than any other known secret realm in <Cloud Sea>.
Left with no other option, the Dragon Nation had to seek help from another user of Heaven-Tier Skill.
This means that Shen Long, the head of the Shen Family, Four Great Families, wants to explore this secret realm together.
Speaking of Shen Long, Zhou He was furious.
"That old bastard demanded that our people withdraw from the Falling Star human settlement where the Shen Sect Headquarters is located before he would cooperate."
All human settlements in the Cloud Sea are managed by government officials. Shen Long's request is undoubtedly an attempt to completely control the Falling Star Gathering Place. As the commander-in-chief of the Cloud Sea Military Department, Zhou He is certainly not happy about this.
The old man pondered for a long time before finally speaking.
"Exploring the secret realm is more important; let's agree to his request first."
"Yes, Chief!"
