Chapter 104 Pirated Products Become Legal
Through guidance feedback, we learned that the Eclipse Clan is holding a supreme meeting.

Qi Sheng followed the instructions and arrived, listening to the meeting proceedings from the side with a conscious perception perspective.

During the meeting, it was discovered that the entire conference room was shrouded in haze when it was discovered through the Star Network that a black tide would most likely arrive one day in the future.

There was a suffocating silence in the air. The high-ranking members of the Eclipse Clan present had heavy expressions, and their eyes were filled with a mixture of helplessness, despair and other complex emotions.

Qi Sheng could fully understand this.

This group of Eclipse people were born on the moon, but they did not lose the history of the development of their race. A series of disastrous events before they came to Earth can still be seen from the database.

The more they understood history, the more they would understand the gap in power between the terrifying Black Tide and them.

When Guidance was looking through the Eclipse Clan's information database, he discovered that the Eclipse Clan had actually been preparing for the coming of the Black Tide.

As the core of the Eclipse Clan, the Star Network Intelligent Brain has prepared two response plans in advance.

Option one: find a way out.

Tearing down space barriers through explorer shuttles and trying to find safe habitats on other worlds is also one of the plans that Star Network attaches the most importance to.

Option 2: War resistance.

Create a virtual battlefield, start war training in advance, and strengthen the combat capabilities of all races in the Earth Alliance.

Along with this plan, the mechanical warrior manufacturing assembly line was also launched.

Every year, a large number of mechanical warriors are created and stored in underground arsenals.

These mechanical warriors can all be connected to the star network. If that day really comes, warriors of all races can become a force that controls the mechanical army.

The various skills in the game are also the skills mastered by mechanical warriors.

In addition to technological weapons, they are also equipped with alchemical magic technology provided by alien races. For example, the robots in batch 1223 are embedded with alchemical cores, which can release a series of alchemical magic abilities such as Dark Grip and Dark Amplification.

This was the layout for the initial stages of the war.

If the mechanical army is completely destroyed, the war will enter the second stage of the star network layout, which is the Earth Alliance combat plan...

Of these two options, the first is evacuation and the second is war.

But StarNet always prefers the first option.

There is no other reason.

Analyzing the information recorded in the historical database, StarNet believes that the possibility of the Earth Alliance defeating the Black Tide at this stage is almost zero, and the war is more like a last-ditch struggle before death. This may prolong the existence of the Eclipse Clan, but the final outcome will not change.

The war between the Black Tide and the Eclipse Clan will end with the destruction of the Eclipse Clan.

The second war plan has very low feasibility, but it must exist in the eyes of the Star Network.

Because the second option will gradually increase its weight level over time.
When Qi Sheng heard the guidance and analysis of this part, he felt very puzzled.

The guidance then explained that the two options can be seen as the two ends of a scale, influencing StarNet's judgment.

In the initial stage when the two plans were launched simultaneously, the evacuation plan in the eyes of Star Network overwhelmed the war plan with absolute weight.

But time is on the side of the war plan.

As time goes by, the Eclipse Clan integrates a large number of technologies provided by alien races in the Earth Alliance, and its strength steadily increases.

So every once in a while, when StarNet judges the two plans based on the current technological level, it will add a weight to the war plan.

The longer time passes, the heavier the war plan becomes.

Assume that after ten thousand years, the Earth Alliance led by the Eclipse Clan has broken through the bottleneck of technological development and achieved unimaginable technological progress. The Star Network will make a judgment based on the relevant information of the Black Tide in the database and believe that the Earth Alliance is capable of defeating the Black Tide. In this case, the second option will overwhelm the first option.

Even if a retreat has been found by then, StarNet will still choose the second war plan.

Therefore, the two plans are launched simultaneously, and the weights change with the development of technology and the passage of time.

But the second option is premised on having enough time to develop, and StarNet's judgment is also based on the strength of the Black Tide in the database.

What the Star Network didn't know was that the Peak Eclipse Clan was only challenging a branch of the terrifying Black Tide, not all of it.

In the absence of complete information, the conclusions drawn by StarNet analysis include a large number of factors that are not taken into account.

But none of this matters.

What’s important is that the Kuroshio Rift appeared too early.

Neither the Star Network nor the Eclipse Clan leaders in the conference room could find a solution to the Black Tide invasion.

This is also what makes them feel extremely desperate.

They don't know when the black tide rift will expand rapidly, but as long as the black tide comes, the possibility of the Earth Alliance defeating the black tide is 0% in the judgment of the Star Network, which means there is no possibility at all.

As the meeting progressed to this point, an idea emerged in Qi Sheng's mind.

Why not work with the top Eclipse people in the conference room to give the current "pirated" games a legitimate shell?

This is also the reason why he chose to descend on the Eclipse Clan Conference Center.

As for the Star Network, it had already been guided and controlled and would not show any resistance at all. Therefore, the high-ranking members of the Eclipse Clan in the conference room could not understand why the Star Network did not activate its defense system to counterattack the unknown invading force.

"who are you?"

An unknown force quietly infiltrated and descended. Although the leading Archon No. 1 was terrified in his heart, he still suppressed his emotions and asked in a deep voice.

Faced with the question, Qi Sheng, whose figure was shrouded in the Emperor's Omen Fire, did not directly answer the question:

"The power of the Black Tide is far more terrifying than you can imagine. All your plans are like child's play in front of the Black Tide. They are meaningless."

After he finished speaking, the scarlet flames in the eyes of the Eclipse Clan leaders fluctuated violently, and countless information images flooded into their minds.

The galaxy dims, the world collapses, civilization is destroyed, all things wither... In the picture, countless worlds are facing their doomsday under the rule of the black tide.

This black tide that has swept across countless worlds, each time it erupts, it silently infiltrates into the new world, forming a space rift, and as time goes by, it begins its evil journey with endless greed and desire for destruction.

Wherever it passes, everything returns to eternal silence.

The strength of some of the evil black creatures that appeared in these images even surpassed the knowledge of the Eclipse Clan’s high-level officials and the Star Network.

It also makes them realize how ridiculous the so-called war is.

Only then did they realize that the terrifying black tide that had once contended with the peak Eclipse Clan was just a speck of light among the stars in the sky and was far from the entire black tide.

But even this speck of light in the vast sea of ​​stars could not be defeated, even if they paid the price of nearly genocide. In the end, they could only choose to abandon their homeland and escape across space.

As the scenes continue to switch, behind the shock lies a despair that runs deep into the bones.

As enemies of this super disaster that spans countless worlds, the Eclipse Clan has no hope at all. Even if they find a safe world, they will eventually be swallowed up by the horrific black tide that will come in the future.

The scene that the Eclipse Clan's high-level officials saw was exactly the scene that Qi Sheng had recorded when he followed Yan Ming through different worlds.

These scenes also shocked Qi Sheng greatly.

This was even more true for the high-ranking members of the Eclipse Clan present, because the black tide rift had already appeared, and they knew what a terrible disaster they were about to face.

The picture disappeared, and Qi Sheng's eyes swept over the pale-faced senior members of the Eclipse Clan. A voice rang out in the depths of their hearts:

"Sitting in a well and looking at the sky, you don't know the vastness of the sun, moon and stars. No matter how you change your battle plan, it can't change the outcome that the black tide will swallow you up."

When the leading consul heard this, his expression changed.

Through these images, they have realized that the Eclipse Clan's series of combat plans are not feasible.

It's like a group of children discussing whether to use a wooden stick or a wooden sword... Which weapon can defeat the enemy? The image of this enemy in the database is a strong adult armed with hot weapons, but in fact, behind this strong adult armed with hot weapons, there is a super legion that can fight across multiple worlds.

The huge gap in strength made the battle plan they discussed seem meaningless.

"Excuse me, why are you here?" After taking a deep breath, Archon No. 1, feeling desperate, asked the question in his mind.

"On a whim, I wanted to play an interesting little game and create a force with infinite growth potential to fight against the black tide... In the end, I chose the Earth as the starting point of this game."

Regarding this issue, Qi Sheng did not tell the truth.

Instead, he fabricated a supreme life form that already possessed powerful creation-level strength, and on a whim wanted to create a super force to compete with the Black Tide. The Eclipse Clan on Earth was one of the targets for recruitment.

After listening to Qi Sheng's story, the high-level members of the Eclipse Clan present already understood his thoughts.

This mysterious being wants to start a special game.

The ultimate goal of the game is to defeat the Black Tide, but he will not take part in it himself. Instead, he will give the recruited players unlimited growth potential, allowing them to fight the Black Tide through their own efforts.

Just as the Eclipse Clan's high-ranking officials were in shock, the Star Network that was being guided and controlled suddenly spoke:
"Of course, there is a prerequisite for experiencing this game. You need to keep it secret until the person behind me wants to reveal the truth... In fact, if you don't want to keep it secret, I have countless ways to make you keep it secret. This is just an advance warning."

"In summary, I can give you the growth potential to defeat the Black Tide, but the future path requires your own efforts."

"As for why I'm looking for you, it's because the person behind me wants to release this game under your name..."

The guide explained the game plan in detail. In Qi Sheng's eyes, this plan could be understood as a plan to turn pirated products into legitimate ones.

Only the 18 high-ranking members of the Eclipse Clan and the StarNet AI present at the scene knew part of the truth about this plan.

Before he wants to reveal the truth, no one, including the members of the Eclipse Clan, will know the truth. They will only think that this is a game secretly developed by the clan’s management and StarNet.

Even if other races in reality realize that the Dark Land and "Dark Land" are actually two different games, in their eyes, both games are released by the Eclipse Clan.

One is a hidden version, and the other is an authentic version.

At this time, the Archon sitting in seat 6 was shocked and suddenly asked:

"I want to know what the content of this game is. Although you have given us unlimited potential for growth, we also need resources to be converted into strength. So where should we get the resources from?"

In response to the inquiry, the Star Network under guidance and control gave an explanation:

"A super world that can generate infinite resources. You will explore the world as a player, compete with countless powerful tribes, and snatch resources that can make you grow rapidly."

As the words of guidance fell, countless pieces of information flooded into the minds of the Eclipse Clan leaders present.

The picture shows a vast and boundless scene of the monster world.

Countless terrifying beasts roam the sky and the deep sea. Their bodies are as majestic as mountains and rivers, and every breath they take can cause storms and tides… Ancient and powerful life forms control the trajectory of the heaven and earth. Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas all show holy signs, and the sun, moon and stars also obey the holy orders.

The scene continued to jump, and then various forces appeared.

The endless army of mechanical souls under the control of the Mechanical Overlord, the fighting Zerg that devoured all matter like locusts all over the mountains and plains, the terrifying black tide that covered the sky and the sun and swept across the world...a bizarre super world unfolded in the minds of the high-level leaders of the Lunar Eclipse Clan.

This world is also swept by the terrifying black tide, but it is different from other worlds.

In addition to the terrifying black tide, there are also a large number of forces with infinite growth potential, all of which want to become the overlord that monopolizes all the world's resources.

These scenes include the endless battle between the fighting insect swarm and the terrifying black tide, the mechanical soul army controlled by the Mechanical Overlord slaughtering the evil black tide, and so on.

"In the future, you will also go to this world and join the endless battle for resources in the name of players until you stand on top of the world."

The images in their minds made the Eclipse Clan leaders present understand how this game should unfold.

At this moment, the feelings of the Eclipse Clan leaders were extremely complicated.

This complex emotion is very similar to that of the senior officials of the Human Federation before they were connected to the Star Network, and even worse.

At that time, the human race’s top leaders agreed to access the Star Network, which was undoubtedly a gamble on the future of the human race. From then on, the human race had no secrets in front of the Eclipse tribe, and the Star Network could access all the information produced by the human race at any time.

They can only hope that the Eclipse Clan will never betray humans.

Their current situation is more severe than the choice that the human race had to face back then. They need to gamble the future of the Eclipse Clan and play a game of unknown challenges. However, the consequence of refusal is that they will not be able to keep up with the development of the times, and will eventually face doomsday under the sweeping black tide.

The difference is that the human race at that time had choices.

Even if they make the worst choice, the worst that can happen is that they will not be able to keep up with the development of the times, will not be able to obtain technical support from the Eclipse Clan, and will eventually become the bottom-level ethnic group in the Earth Alliance.

The price of their refusal was the destruction of the entire ethnic group.

It seems like a multiple-choice question, but they already have the answer in their minds.

At this moment, they understood why the underlying logical laws of the Star Network were modified silently.

This was obviously caused by a mysterious force.

This is a creation-level power that exceeds the limits of their cognition.

I also understood why StarNet said that there was a string of unopenable links spreading in the StarNet in the name of a cracked version of "Dark Land".

This was obviously the result of a preliminary test on Earth of a mysterious figure that was above the mundane world, recruiting players in the name of games.

The mystery that had previously shrouded the Eclipse Clan was finally revealed, and the truth was beyond their belief.

This can be heard from the narration of this transcendental follower.

This game recruits all ethnic groups on Earth, including the Eclipse Clan who built cities on the moon. They are not the only players in the game.

"I have one more question."

"Ask." The guide nodded at this time.

"Suppose a black tide of terror were to sweep across the real world we live in now, how would we fight it?"

"When that day really comes, the one behind me will give you everything in the game. The abilities and resources you gain there, everything will be reflected in reality. You will still have the power to fight against the black tide. The difference is that you will need to fight on two fronts by then." The Star Network under its guidance and control gave the answer.

This answer made the Eclipse Clan leaders feel extremely happy.

"I accept your invitation." Archon No. 1 said in a deep voice at this time.

"You are wrong. This is not an invitation but a notification. You have no right to decide from the beginning to the end." When the guide said this, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Qi Sheng, who inherited Emperor Zhaogu's origin, is the boss in his eyes and the object of his faith and following.

The explanation for his appearance was also because of the boss's request.

But in his eyes, all races on Earth were just weak mortals, not at the same level as himself.

In the past, any one of the forces under his control could easily destroy the Eclipse Clan, or even the Earth Alliance headed by the Eclipse Clan.

Although the war with the terrifying black tide caused him to lose most of his power, and the various tribes that followed him were also destroyed by the terrifying black tide in this battle, he was still the supreme god that the Eclipse tribe could not reach.

This arrogance that transcends the mundane has never been lost, but it has not been shown in front of the boss.

Because in the eyes of the guidance, the boss is a special existence who inherited the origin of Emperor Zhaogu. From that moment on, he is no longer a weak human being.

Perhaps the boss still retains the memory of humans and has a unique feeling for humans, but in his eyes, the boss is a being with a higher life structure than his own, and the only successor to the Emperor Omen God he once followed.

"I...I understand." There was bitterness in Archon No. 1's eyes, but he did not dare to refute the guidance.

"Very good, then let the game begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Sheng's figure, enveloped in scarlet flames, gradually dissipated until it disappeared.

"and many more."

"What's wrong again?" The star network under guidance and control said dissatisfiedly.

"How can members of my clan enter the game and become players?"

"The address link you received contains a channel to enter the monster world and become a player. A random number of qualifications will be issued at random times. Whether you can get one depends on your luck."

"One last question."

"ask."

"Can you provide us with an additional batch of player qualifications?"

"You are dreaming. If you want the qualifications, just click the link. There is no possibility of issuing additional qualifications. You must understand that the Eclipse Clan is just one of the races recruited. Compared with other Earth races, there is no special treatment."

As the words fell, the guiding consciousness also left, unwilling to give any more answers.

StarNet regained sovereignty at this time, and a smile immediately appeared on its face.

Noticing the change in StarNet's expression and realizing that the mysterious being controlling StarNet had left, Archon No. 3 couldn't help but ask:
"Starnet, what are you laughing at?"

"The future of our people is saved."

Hearing this, Archon No. 1 couldn't help but sigh:
"But from now on, our people will have to act under the control of a mysterious entity and will completely lose their freedom."

Regarding this view, StarNet shook its head and denied it:
"We follow the rules of the world, which can also be understood as acting under the control of the world's will, including eating, growing, and breathing. Everything is a rule set by the world's will. We are all following the rules and codes. The mysterious power that created the game Monster World is equivalent to the world's will. The process of becoming a player can be understood as entering a world with different rules. You need to develop and grow again according to the new rules, so there is no real freedom at all."

"But our relative freedom will not change. That mysterious being will not restrict any of our actions. After entering the game, we are still members of the Eclipse Clan, but we also have unlimited growth potential. This is not a crisis, but an opportunity."

"So we don't need to be depressed, we should be happy about it."

"At least we have hope of changing the inevitable outcome. This is a blessing."

At this point, Xingwang smiled even more happily:
"I really look forward to the day when the game reflects reality. Perhaps when that day comes, the Eclipse Clan will grow into a super power that even the Peak Eclipse Clan cannot reach."

"At that time, you will face the horrific disasters that your ancestors once challenged. The difference is that you have the powerful strength to fight against them... In the past, we were lambs slaughtered at will by the black tide, but this time, it will be a real war."

After listening to Star Network’s explanation, the haze in the hearts of the Eclipse Clan’s high-level officials completely dissipated.

I also understand why StarNet is so happy.

As the order regulator and guardian of the Eclipse Clan, in the eyes of the Star Network, the Eclipse Clan was able to break through the fog and move forward in the face of inevitable defeat.

"Xingwang, do you have any suggestions on how to quickly obtain game qualifications?"

"Manually buy it, but remember what that person said. Don't reveal any truth about the secrets of the game except you. Including our people, let them think that this is a game we secretly developed in secret."
