[ World of Disorder Non-Stop Update Announcement:]
The final phase [Epilogue] of the large-scale long-running quest [ The Great Adventurer ] officially ended on June 17th, 909 of the World of Disorder Calendar. The phase quest rating is SSS, and the quest rewards have been settled in real time.
The final phase of the special mission [ Important Target Escort ] [Mission Fulfillment] officially ended on June 15th, 909 in the World of Disorder. The mission rating for this phase is SSS, and the mission rewards have been distributed along with the mission completion announcement.
Thanks to the efforts of all the Soul Returner, the world situation has quietly changed. The following changes will be implemented along with this announcement:
1. Adjustments to the Wilderness of Chaos city [ Klaf City ]:
Thanks to the efforts of the Soul Returner in "cleaning up" over the past month, Klaf City is much safer than when it was first discovered, and most areas now have complete maps.
Effective immediately, the zoning of Klaf City will be adjusted as follows:
The ground floor (forest area) is designated as a [safe zone], home to a large number of Swarm from the Sea of Flowers. In the foreseeable future, they will maintain a friendly relationship with the Second Holy See.
The first and second basement levels (city area) contain numerous ruins of ancient kingdoms and commercial cities. After being cleared by the Soul Returner, they are now basically safe. This area will later be opened as a large-scale adventure Dungeon, where a large number of Blood Corpse appear. It supports switching difficulties and repeatable playthroughs.
It should be noted that some streets and buildings on the first and second basement levels will vary depending on the time and the difficulty of the Dungeon, and will also have some random variations.
The third and fourth underground levels (the grotto area) are mainly composed of large natural caves. After being cleared by the Soul Returner, it is now basically safe. This area will also be opened as a large-scale adventure Dungeon, where a large number of mutated non-humanoid monsters appear. It supports switching difficulties and repeating the playthrough.
It should be noted that some of the grottoes and caves on the third and fourth underground levels will vary depending on the time and the difficulty of the Dungeon, and will also have some random variations.
Special Area: Jiangxinzhou City Lord's Mansion, which will be opened later as a transit station and teleportation target location for Soul Returner. The area inside the City Lord's Mansion is a [Safe Zone] and contains a large number of public facilities.
2. Adjustments to the mainland faction's [ Graycast Corridor ]:
Alliance level adjusted (upgraded), defensive alliances remain in effect, and the other party is obligated to send troops to support one side when it is attacked. The Second Holy See also recognizes the Graycast Corridor as an "important ally".
The urban area within the Graycast Corridor has been reclassified as a [Safe Zone], while the non-urban areas have been reclassified as [Neutral Zones]. Areas near the Wilderness of Chaos (West), Demon Realm (East), Eternal Domain (North), and Floating Corpse Sea (South) remain unchanged as [Danger Zones].
Players are encouraged to upload their own maps of the Graycast Corridor area. Please note that during the drawing process, you must respect the social system, lifestyle, and personal privacy of the local people of Graycast Corridor.
Players can explore the Graycast Corridor and communicate normally with messages of level "Confidential" or lower.
Note: The Root Network and plant terminal permissions within the Graycast Corridor are currently under negotiation. Until authorization is obtained, Soul Returner must use physical currency for transactions within the Graycast Corridor.
3. Adjustments to certain areas of the Wilderness of Chaos:
The territory of Klaf City and its surrounding area has been changed from [ Wilderness of Chaos ] to [ Second Holy See ].
The territory of the Southern Sea of Flowers and its surrounding area has been changed from [ Wilderness of Chaos ] to [ Second Holy See ].
The territory within a five-kilometer radius of each Stability Anchor has been changed from [ Wilderness of Chaos ] to [ Second Holy See ].
The above summarizes the new regional and faction updates. The following are the new quests that Soul Returner can freely choose:
1. The large-scale long-term quest [ The Only Holy Church ] is now open, Phase 1 - [Issuing a Proclamation]:
Thanks to the tireless efforts of countless Soul Returner, the existence of the Second Holy See is no longer a secret.
But division is only temporary; integration is the ultimate destiny of all things.
We are about to face off against the Holy City. It may be a life-or-death battle in the open field, a continuous assault, or a brutal, meat-grinding street fight... Ultimately, there can only be one Holy See.
However, before that, it is necessary to let every province and every town in the Tree Worship Church Theocracy know of our existence and our creed.
The messenger Xilǐ'er had already left Valhalla, carrying the credentials belonging to the Son of God, and traveled to each province in turn.
Now, a steady stream of intelligence is flowing back to the Second Holy See. Xilǐ'er has labeled every province, town, and even village he passes through; some have chosen to comply, while others intend to resist to the end.
But whatever their choice, we will not let any guilty person go unpunished. Let's take action and let the whole world know.
There can only be one Tree Worship Church in this world!
Tasks for this phase:
Head to the friendly human settlement that the messenger Xilǐ'er has marked, find and arrest all the Stained Ones hiding there, and temporarily take over the administration of the area.
Conduct intelligence reconnaissance on neutral or hostile towns, synchronize the information to Commander Mar of the Soul Returners Legion, and await the arrival of the army.
Task contribution rewards:
Maintaining stability in villages, towns, and cities earns basic contribution points; identifying and capturing Stained Ones earns additional contribution points; and scouting enemy positions earns additional contribution points.
Task reward settings:
There is no upper limit to the reward pool for this phase of the task; only a basic reward amount is set for each individual. Contribution level affects the final settlement coefficient. We hope that all Soul Returner will cooperate sincerely.
Duration of this phase of the task:
From now until late July, the specific settlement time will be affected by the collective actions of those Soul Returner.
Recommended rating:
To ensure a smooth gaming experience for Soul Returner, it is recommended to accept the quest only after reaching level 10.
Note: The hidden side quest for this large-scale, long-term mission will be available in the second phase.
2. Regional Tasks [ Divide and Disintegrate ]:
The Second Holy See has taken control of Klaf City in the central part of the Wilderness of Chaos and the Sea of Flowers in the southern part of the Wilderness of Chaos, but there is still an area of hundreds of miles between the two that has not been cleared or explored.
This area contains a large number of Blood Corpse that have escaped capture and urgently need to be cleared out.
In addition, there are many inexplicable natural Calamity in this area, but fortunately, the research findings of the Willow Serityma and her mother can effectively suppress these phenomena.
Task content:
By using Stability Anchor to construct continuous safe zones, the Wilderness of Chaos is fragmented and gradually encroached upon, bringing dangerous areas under the rule of the Second Holy See. The Anti-Demonic Tide Psionic Energy Secret Technique provided by Willow Serityma are used to limit dangerous Calamity.
Task Rewards:
Contribution is calculated based on the area of the transformed region and the scale of Calamity dispelled. Contribution increases the coefficient during reward calculation. Additionally, a small amount of silver coins is immediately awarded for each Stability Anchor successfully activated.
