Chapter 779: Chapter 238: The Shortest Path is the Long Way Around! Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride! Qin Feng Achieves the Golden Tower! Just Like the Golden King

Most of the Star System Alliances abandoned by their leaders fell apart in an incredibly short amount of time.

Without the coordination and restraint of their top leaders, the remaining Constant Star-level Powerhouses within these alliances began fighting amongst themselves. They vied for the massive number of newly appeared Constant Star-level Resource Points, and everything descended into utter chaos.

Of course, there were always exceptions.

In one or two Star System Alliances, however, after the initial chaos and turmoil, the remaining Constant Star Martial Artists who could still see the bigger picture banded together of their own accord.

They elected a new leadership, took charge of the overall situation, and led the alliance’s remaining forces to methodically continue their campaign against the Mechanical Race within their territory.

At the same time, they did their best to help more members complete the mandatory elimination missions. In doing so, they plundered resources and struggled to keep their alliance afloat.

However, such Star System Alliances were, in the end, a tiny minority.

As for the vast majority of other alliances, their more powerful Constant Star Martial Artists immediately followed suit after seeing their leaders flee. They deserted their alliances, which now existed in name only, and became free "Loose Cultivators."

They began searching the vast Cosmos for newly appeared, unoccupied Constant Star-level Resource Points.

The reason was very simple.

The rapid disintegration of numerous alliances meant that vast swathes of territory they once occupied had reverted to being a "Land Without Master."

Meanwhile, the strength of the Mechanical Race entrenched within the Uninhabited Zones was also expanding at an insane rate.

Chaos meant opportunity.

For these powerful Independent Martial Artists, the huge number of Constant Star-level Resource Points now lying in the "Land Without Master" were like incredibly rich hunting grounds, just waiting to be harvested.

Suddenly, the entire great warzone descended into utter chaos.

It was big fish eating little fish, and little fish eating shrimp.

The law of the jungle was on full, stark display.

To this day, the number of Star System Alliances that had managed to maintain their footing and keep their command structure intact had dwindled to no more than three.

"Heh, how ironic."

Watching the chaos unfold on the forums, a faint, unreadable smile touched Qin Feng’s lips, a mix of derision and deep reflection.

He saw countless posts on the forum, all using the most venomous language to furiously curse the shameless leaders who had betrayed their own alliances.

It was worth noting that most of the powerhouses who chose betrayal, once freed from the constraints of their alliances, immediately threw themselves into the mad scramble for the newly appeared Star System Level Resources.

Many of them, relying on their own formidable strength that far surpassed the average person, did indeed succeed in seizing more than one Star System Level Resource point after some vicious fighting.

However, what awaited them was not a meteoric rise in strength.

[SHOCKING! Cato, former leader of the ’Cato Alliance,’ was instantly killed by ’Stone Race’s Celestial Pride’ Stone Pan Mountain at the ’Crying Star River’ Resource Point! His Indestructible Phantom, towering at five million light-years, was completely powerless to resist!]

[HAHAHA! He just finished grabbing the Star System Level Resources and didn’t even have time to get them warm before he was caught. Serves him right!]

[LMAO! Looks like these Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Prides can use Subspace Teleportation too! It’s probably a special privilege the organizers gave them! Did that idiot Cato really think he’d be safe just by teleporting away?]

[This is the price for betraying your alliance! He deserved it!]

[We followed him and fought tooth and nail for so many years. Not only did he embezzle the lion’s share of the alliance’s resources, but now that Star System Level Resources have appeared in abundance, he just up and left without a second thought!

He even personally killed a bunch of his old comrades in the alliance just to snatch the resources from our hands before he bailed!]

[Unreal.

To be honest, I can understand just betraying the alliance.

Everyone has their own ambitions. Wanting to compete for a top 100 spot in the great warzone... it’s only human nature to resort to betrayal for that.

But to turn around and kill your own people after betraying them? That’s taking it way too far.

All I can say is, this time, he really had it coming!]

[Haha...]

From what Qin Feng could see, there were quite a few posts like this on the forums now.

A significant number of the leader-class powerhouses who betrayed their alliances went on killing sprees while seizing Star System Level Resources. As a result, their rankings on the Combat Power charts skyrocketed in a short period.

The final result, naturally, was that they were targeted with pinpoint accuracy by the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Prides, who were like sharks drawn to the scent of blood.

What followed was a hunt, their demise, and their elimination from the event.

Of course, there were also plenty of leader-class figures who chose betrayal, seized Star System Level Resources, and likewise saw their Combat Power rankings soar.

However, their rankings mostly stayed within the 80 to 90 range, so for the time being, they had avoided being hunted by the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Prides.

However, this kind of "lively" situation would only occur in the first ten years or so after the new rules were announced.

By now, plenty of clear-headed powerhouses had analyzed these bloody case studies and had completely figured out the underlying mechanics of how the "Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Prides" hunted down Martial Artists.
