Morning on the Main Island of the World Market Alliance
Children were running around the green open field, filled with flowers, shady trees, and playground equipment. Vendors surrounded the park, selling their snacks to the visitors.
"Careful, Lius, slide down slowly," a mother said to her son, who was about to go down a half-meter slide. Her husband, standing beside her, was also worried.
"Hold on tight, son, trust your dad," he said.
Scenes of happy families like this could be seen throughout the park. Everyone was enjoying a comfortable and peaceful life. Children played, and parents watched with joy, creating a truly serene atmosphere.
In stark contrast to the main island, a tense atmosphere filled the room inside a flying ship.
"Damn it... I told you to retreat. Why are you all so stubborn?" shouted a man with a longbow angrily at everyone in the room.
He looked furious, his eyes red, and his fists clenched tightly. He glared at each person around him, as if wanting to crush them with his gaze.
"I'm sorry, Captain. We were too greedy," a young man said fearfully but bravely tried to calm the angry captain.
"Sorry? Sorry for what?... Do you think they can come back to life with your useless apology?" the man with the bow continued to berate his crew without mercy, looking as if he had lost something precious.

"Sis Laras, how about we go to Meanos Mall? I heard there are lots of good things sold there."
"Hmmm... sounds good. Let's go," Laras replied.
The two women in the flying car were discussing where to go next. They were Nita and Laras, who had grown very close over the past few days. Nita felt that Laras was like an older sister who cared for her, making her feel comfortable around her.
Soon, they reached a very crowded area. The main road was 10 meters wide, and the tallest building in the area was 25 floors high with a very aesthetic appearance.
Nita and Laras parked their car at one of the buildings and walked towards the mall entrance.
As they entered, they were greeted by a vast space. White lights illuminated the entire area, and people bustled about non-stop in front of them.
"It's huge... I didn't expect a mall this big to be built in just 15 days," Nita said, her mouth forming a big O. She was the main brain behind managing Lein's main island, but due to the many responsibilities and tasks she handled, she forgot to try out amazing things like Meanos Mall.
"Haha... let's go. Look, there's a jewelry seller over there," Laras said, pulling Nita's hand and heading towards a jewelry store.

Unlike Nita, Lein was currently in a very quiet and spacious room. The room was brightly lit with white lights.
This room was filled with racks containing gold chests, neatly arranged like bookshelves in a library. Yes, this was Lein's main storage room. The materials he possessed were countless at this point.
Imagine, 10,000 chests opened 24 times a day for 15 days equals 3,000,000 gold chests. Which regional alliance could produce 3 million gold chests?
Even during the first event, with a gold chest priced at 1 million points, obtaining 3 million gold chests would require 3 trillion kill points.
[Do you want to open a gold chest?]
"Yes."
[Successfully opened a gold chest, obtained:]
- White stone x4
- Medium well blueprint
- Hard iron sword
Items immediately dropped from thin air: a white stone, a blueprint, and an iron sword.
Lein gathered the dropped materials and placed them in the chest beside him. Opening chests and organizing the items into gold chests was Lein's daily routine. Since his bag was full, the items from the gold chest fell from thin air.
Lein tirelessly and unboredly continued to open the next gold chest. Since his failure to be in the top 20 in the first event, he had rid himself of the arrogance of obtaining an SSS-tier talent. He had become someone with calculated and realistic plans and would not do anything without a clear strategy.

On a floating island with a size of 3 million square kilometers, in a grand room, there was a 10-meter high black portal with an endless black water flow.
Suddenly, someone emerged from the portal.
A young man with a broad smile stepped out. He looked around and nodded.
"Awesome... Lord William has finally returned."
"Welcome back, Lord."
"William, how was the journey to the realm of the Gods?" someone asked.
William shook his head and replied, "Calm down, I've just returned. Hold an emergency meeting in the Alliance Main Hall in 10 minutes."
"Yes, Lord," a woman in a tight suit and black skirt responded promptly, noting down and contacting someone.
Ordinary people might not know, but the same event was happening in two other places in the divine sky realm. Each person emerging from the portal had an intimidating power, seemingly worlds apart from level 20 rulers.

Back on Lein's island.
Lein was in the Alliance Main Hall, reading reports on his desk. He had information on the total permanent population of 240,000, the formation of hunter associations, guilds, and martial arts organizations, and the security and crime rates on the main island.
As the main owner of the alliance, he had full control over what happened. Therefore, he needed to know everything that was going on and how the island was developing. The heavy data-gathering tasks were handled by the 10 core members.
It was almost 12 noon, so Lein wanted to leave the Main Hall to grab lunch at his favorite restaurant, Rudi Resto.
Before he could stand up from his chair, the long-silent system notification appeared in his view.
[Congratulations to the Sovereign who are still standing]...
[The Race War Battle Event has begun]
[Event duration: 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes]
[Regional boundaries have been removed]...
[Regional chat has been removed, Blue Planet race chat has been added]...
Lein's Island, Life City
Lein saw the system announcement that had just appeared. He read it carefully, paying attention to every detail.
The first thing he noticed was the removal of regional boundaries, meaning that all humans on Earth could now meet. In other words, the strong individuals from the previous event would be facing him. He was very curious about how powerful these people were.
Deep down, Lein also wanted to duplicate the items they had obtained as the top three in the previous event.
Lein then shifted his gaze to the system panel. The system indicated that regional chat had been removed and replaced with the Blue Planet Human Race chat.
[Blue Planet Human Race]
- (William Alexander: Supreme Overlord) Earth Paradise Alliance is recruiting individuals with B-S rank talents. Regardless of your country, race, or gender, as long as you have an A-rank talent or higher, you will be accepted. S-rank talents will become core members.
- (Bai Qi: Supreme Overlord) Hello everyone, we welcome all. Come and grow together with the Eternal Life Sect. For Chinese citizens, join us and receive free level 10 equipment.
- (Vladimir Nova: Supreme Overlord) For sovereign with a total status of over 1000, the King of Hell Alliance is opening opportunities.
- Jackson: Awesome, all humans can finally join. Dad, I'm in region #5622. Add me as a friend.
- Usami: Cherry Blossom Market is selling high-level medicine. Come and save your precious life.
- Meng Hao: Abyssal Vanguard Sect is accepting disciples.
- Haruka: Did any of you find a portal appearing on your island? Where do these portals lead?...
- Diki: My friend already entered the portal, but he hasn't returned...
- Xiao Yu: Look at the top 3 chats, their names are glowing. What's with the titles after their names? Do they have any real effect?...
- Hubert: The rewards for the top 3 this time seem several times crazier than the previous event. What does it feel like to be in the top 3?...
Most people felt happy because now all humans could meet and were no longer restricted as before. They were almost all talking about the ongoing event.
A very striking and different feature of the chat this time was the three golden chats at the top. The three names belonged to the top three in the previous event. Their chats never moved down like banner notifications. Even their messages had golden borders and dragon icon at the ends.
"Sigh..."
Seeing the arrogant benefits provided by the system, Lein could only sigh. He remembered how arrogant he was to compete with those people without conducting any investigation on them.
"Patience... patience..."
He reassured himself several times before finally calming down. He then shifted his gaze to the leaderboard.
[Event Rank]
- Top 1-3: Super Territory Artifact, 100 million crystals, epic chest, ancestral dragon's nest.
- Top 4-10: Regular Territory Artifact, 10 million crystals, gold chest, sky griffin's nest.
- Top 11-50: 1 million crystals, gold chest, hell monkey's nest.
- ...
As usual, the leaderboard did not disappoint. The items listed were always new and had very impressive names.
Lein didn't look any longer. He then sent a message to the 10 core members of the alliance and to Nita, informing them of an important meeting.
***
On the northern streets of Life City, there was a small bar with a few people inside.
"Mr. Ari, weren't you planning to join the World Market Alliance?" an old man asked the elderly man next to his chair.
"Yes... but I won't apply now. I want to join this new event first," replied the old man with a long white mustache.
"Hahaha... at your age, do you still have hope of competing with those young people? Wouldn't joining the World Market Alliance ensure a good life for your grandchildren?"
"Fool... we are not on Earth right now. Do you think the miracles and wonders you see every day make sense to an earthly human like you?" the old man with the mustache looked at his old friend with a mocking gaze.
"But..."
"Enough... enough... you won't understand. Just run your farming business like a robot without a future."
They continued their conversation as old friends.
In another room, a sturdy woman was reporting to an old man sitting at a large desk.
"All main forces have returned to the city, sir. Access to the portal is very easy as it appears randomly in open land," the woman said in a firm and clear tone.
The old man nodded and said, "Is there any movement from the island owners?"
"So far, none, sir. But it seems they will hold a big meeting in a few minutes."
The old man clasped his hands on the table, then rested his head on his clasped hands. He seemed to be pondering something.
After a long silence, the old man said, "Speed up all preparations and try to investigate with new organizations from outside the region."
"Yes, sir."
The random appearance of portals was one of the reasons everyone was talking about the new event. Not only ordinary people, but guilds, alliances, associations, and major organizations were discussing the same thing. As the main owner of the island, Lein did not restrict these people. The more they developed, the happier Lein would be.
***
Main Hall of the World Market Alliance, Conference Room
A very spacious white room. The walls are red-brown with beautiful, neatly engraved patterns. Statues of various mythical animals and flowers with different aromas fill the corners of the room. A large chandelier in the center of the ceiling adds a majestic feel to the room.
There are not many components in this room except for decorations and a large, long table with 10 big chairs lined up along the sides. At the front of the table, there are 2 special black chairs.
Lein and Nita sat in the two black chairs, while the 10 other alliance members sat in the red chairs along the sides of the table. All ten members were present, knowing how important this meeting was.
