Chapter 265 Fully Revived
In the Ivory Summit House of Aetheria...
A middle-aged guy smashed a crystal glass worth $188,888 into pieces.
"Can someone tell me why all the players in the Jinse Empire region suddenly have a 10% boost in their top ten basic attributes and 500 free attribute points each? What the heck is going on?"
"Mr. President, it's all because of that Ice King!" an assistant replied.
The middle-aged man hurled his $9 million watch at the assistant.
"Ice King! Ice King! It's always Ice King. I'm sick of hearing about him. I know about the server-wide announcements. What I need is a solution. Got it?"
The assistant, Felix, calmly caught the watch and slipped it into his back pocket. "Mr. President, we've already got the Cox Group to put a bounty on Ice King..."
"And what happened?" The middle-aged man picked up a football-sized precious orb, ready to throw it. Then he remembered it was worth $98 million and put it down.
"Useless!"
"How do I end up with such useless people around me? I want results, and all I see is that Ice King is not only fine but has also revived the ancient Jinse Empire."
"I don't care about the ancient Jinse Empire, but now all players in that region have a 10% boost in their top ten basic attributes, 500 free attribute points, and new gear and skills. What do you expect me to do?"
Felix glanced at the precious orb and lowered his hands, which were ready to catch it.
"Mr. President, I think we should call a Sun Never Sets Alliance meeting, talk with the top officials of other countries, and plan a preemptive strike."
"No matter how strong Ice King is, he's just one guy. As soon as he shows up on the Vast Continent, we'll have people kill him ten times over."
"If ten times isn't enough, then a hundred times, until he's too scared to leave the city!"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. "Finally, you come up with a somewhat decent idea. Draft and execute this plan immediately."
"Yes, Mr. President," Felix replied.
The revival of the ancient Jinse Empire had shaken the entire internet.
Of course, it wasn't just the players and top officials of various countries who were alarmed; certain entities in Ragnarok were also stirred.
On the Vast Continent, in the extreme west, where there was nothing but endless sand...
This was the largest desert on the Vast Continent, the Meklatin Desert.
Deep within this vast desert, buried in the sand, lay a palace.
A giant, crimson, and extremely enchanting flower slowly opened, revealing a woman sleeping within its petals.
The woman was covered by petals, or more accurately, she wore a long dress woven from crimson petals.
The woman in the flower dress slowly opened her eyes, sat up from the flower, and looked in the direction of the ancient Jinse Empire.
"The ancient Jinse Empire has revived! What a bunch of useless people, they actually let the ancient Jinse Empire revive." In the darkness, a low, hoarse voice echoed.
"After sleeping for so long, it's time to stretch my muscles. I wonder how many people on the Vast Continent still remember us." The woman in the flower dress glanced into the darkness.
"Let's not rush. The ancient Jinse Empire just came back; let's wait and see."
At the Death Cliff of the Vast Continent...
Death Cliff was so deep you couldn't see the bottom, just feel the heat waves constantly rising.
At the bottom of Death Cliff, it was all flames.
These flames were like ghost fires, burning for countless years without any fuel, never going out.
In the depths of these flames lay a massive, unknown creature's skeleton.
The bones were like a small mountain range, winding and coiling.
The head of this skeleton was as large as a palace, making it unimaginable how powerful the creature was and why it fell here.
At the head of the skeleton...
A little girl, looking almost thirteen and wearing a black long dress, seemed to sense something and looked towards the ancient Jinse Empire.
"After so many years, can I finally go home? I wonder how my father is doing now?"
Scenes like this were playing out all over Ragnarok.
The revival of the ancient Jinse Empire had a far greater impact than many had imagined.
The Vast Continent, and even the entire Ragnarok, would be reshaped by this event.
Outside Lindataria...
There was a rumbling sound as an ancient town emerged from the ground.
The ancient town was bustling with people.
But their time seemed to be frozen; everyone was stuck in specific actions, motionless.
Once the ancient town fully emerged, the people within it seemed to come out of a time freeze and began to move normally.
Not just here, in Oceanus Kingdom, Chaos Territory, Netherland, and numerous islands in the endless sea, massive structures were emerging from the ground.
It was powerful and unstoppable.
As these structures emerged, everything within them—people, events, objects—seemed to be in a time freeze.
Only when the structures stabilized did they seem to break free from the time freeze and resume their normal lives.
In the heart of the Oceanus Kingdom, Starcity...
There was a constant rumbling sound from underground, and the buildings of Starcity began to collapse and turn to dust.
A large number of NPCs and players were mysteriously transported outside the city.
The scale of this city was a hundred times larger than Starcity, grand, majestic, and with an indescribable sense of solemnity!
When a third of the city had emerged, someone saw its name: [Dragon Capital!]
Besides the changes on the ground, in the sky, white cranes and various birds seemed to appear out of thin air, suddenly filling the sky.
The players in Oceanus Kingdom were dumbfounded.
"Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?"
"Is this the ancient Jinse Empire? These buildings really match our aesthetic. What were those previous town buildings?"
"The emergence of new towns means new quests, new hidden classes, and new brothels?"
"Damn, you're right. Honestly, the brothels in Oceanus Kingdom were okay, but they lacked something. Now, seeing these towns and the NPCs within them, I feel like visiting the brothels this time will be a whole new experience."
The ancient Jinse Empire had fully revived!
In the Hall of Glory, earth-shattering changes were also taking place.
