Chapter 773: Chapter 237: The Ten-Million-Light-Year Immortal Tower, Massive Improvement, The 800th Year, The Frenzied Elimination Begins

At the critical eight-hundred-year mark of the competition, the organizers made another massive change to the entire ruleset.

The moment the new rules were announced, the public forums of the entire battle zone instantly exploded with activity.

Countless posts discussing the new rules sprouted like mushrooms after a spring rain, frantically appearing and completely flooding the forums.

"Qin Feng, have you seen the latest rules?"

At almost the same moment, a message from Caesar arrived right on cue through the Subspace friend channel.

"I’ve seen them."

Qin Feng replied succinctly.

"What do you think?"

Caesar asked.

"Hmm..."

Qin Feng paused for a moment to gather his thoughts, then said slowly, "First, it’s obvious that the organizers have begun the final, and most brutal, ’clean-up’ phase of this long-running Cosmic Genius Battle."

"Look at the first and second rules.

The organizers are forcing all contestants to kill a certain number of the Mechanical Race within a set time, or they will be directly eliminated.

At the same time, killing members of the Mechanical Race will award a large amount of Combat Points.

This push and pull will undoubtedly eliminate another extremely large number of weaker Martial Artists."

"Second, ’Constant Star-level Resource Points will appear in every star system occupied by a contestant.’

This level of resource injection is terrifying.

But don’t forget, a large number of star systems are currently within territory occupied by the Mechanical Race.

To get these resources, you first have to fight a bloody battle with the Mechanical Race entrenched there. In reality, they are very difficult to obtain, which is basically a buff for the Mechanical Race.

And after absorbing these Constant Star-level Resources, the strength of those members of the Mechanical Race will inevitably undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

When we encounter these ’buffed’ Mechanicals, the Machine Soul Cores we obtain will naturally be of a higher quality, and I estimate the points we get will be greater as well.

But the difficulty will be much higher."

After hearing Qin Feng’s analysis, Caesar’s reply came quickly: "You’re right, Qin Feng. The organizers are personally handling the final ’clearing of the field’ for this competition."

"Right."

Qin Feng continued, "That includes the last rule, ’Expanding the hunting grounds for the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride.’ That’s also part of it.

All signs indicate that the organizers are about to start eliminating a large number of ’redundant’ Martial Artists."

"However, on the other hand, they’ve also massively increased the resource deployment.

Look, even the amount of Star System Level Resources deployed has been greatly increased... This means that as long as we can survive this brutal ’Great Elimination,’ the total resources we can obtain will be beyond anyone’s imagination.

In these last two hundred years, making a final push to break through to the true Star System level isn’t an impossible task."

At this point, Qin Feng’s tone suddenly shifted.

"Besides that, Caesar, have you noticed something?"

"What is it?"

"I’ve personally experienced how immense and precious Star System Level Resources are.

So... for leaders of the Star System Alliance like us, should we prioritize leading our Alliance Warriors to attack the Mechanical Race and help them complete their mandatory elimination quota?

Or, after completing our own quotas, should we immediately go off on our own to fight for those limited Star System Level Resources?

It’s a difficult choice."

Qin Feng’s voice grew a little heavy.

"If it weren’t for this massive Star System Alliance we built, we might never have conquered so many star systems, nor would we have been able to build up such a huge advantage right after entering the Constant Star level.

We made the Alliance, and in turn, the Alliance made us. It’s what allowed us to stay at the forefront of all the contestants’ power and, from that foundation, build the massive snowball we have now."

"Right now, with our strength, completing the elimination task of killing one hundred Constant Star-level Mechanicals would be a piece of cake.

It would take very little time.

So, after we’ve completed our own quotas, are we obligated—or rather, is it necessary—to lead them and help them complete theirs?"

"You have to remember, there are only two hundred years left in the competition.

If we want to place in the top one hundred, or even higher, we have to fight for every second and can’t afford to slack off in the slightest."

This question was extremely pointed, and brutally realistic.

Caesar’s message came back quickly. Clearly, he had already considered this.

"I was just thinking about that."

Caesar’s voice was still calm and steady.

"Of the three hundred star systems our alliance occupies, we’ve successfully conquered two hundred of them in the past sixty years.

Now, there are a final one hundred star systems left that we haven’t had time to conquer.

I just looked at the latest mission parameters. Every contestant needs to kill one hundred Constant Star-level members of the Mechanical Race."

"And right now, even in the weakest star systems within our territory, the number of entrenched Constant Star-level Mechanicals is at least in the hundreds of thousands.

Just in those last one hundred unconquered star systems, the number of Mechanicals inside is more than enough for the millions of Constant Star Martial Artists in our alliance to share."
