Chapter 867 The System Evolved During These Years!
“This…” and as I was puzzled by this, I found a symbol in the centre of this world.
The twenty zones were marked in big circles, and they were aligned to form a huge circle, surrounding a central zone.
And in the middle of this zone, he left behind something like a door mark. “Is this… The path leading to the core world he told me about?”
I looked at this door for a few minutes, “if there is a core, then it should be underground… If the missing five zones aren’t on the surface, then they should be underground.”
This was the only explanation I got for this. I looked at the maps for one more time. Aside from the twenty zones, the central door, there was nothing important aside from terrain landmarks.
Cities and towns weren’t marked or drawn at all! I sighed. Even if the souls came from their people, they didn’t place any importance over them.
They simply ignored these souls, considering them as being nothing of value.
“Time to go to the next zone,” after clearing things here, and the people I gained started their big march towards that path, it was time for me to start my zone hunt.
Each zone was formed in the same way as this one. There were such huge mountains circling a centre zone inside. I fought and conquered each zone in the same way like the first one.
Not a single zone had a decent group of leaders, all decided to fight and resist, and all failed in the end.
I gained tons of races, all were unique and formidable. The ones that made me laugh greatly were the soulers.
They were indeed inhabiting a single zone, numbering in hundreds of millions there.
The only thing that would prevent soulers from growing in numbers was the lack of enough souls to keep them alive. And here? This world was just like a paradise to them.
Fighting them was really funny! Soulers were mighty against huge armies, creating a great threat.
Yet against me? Against my chariot and shield? Well… They couldn’t do anything! Even the siege weapons and shields I saw at other zones weren’t present here.
Soulers fought using different fighting tactics than any other race I met before. Using siege weapons and shields? That was hilarious in their eyes, and that made their fall faster than any other region.
Plus I gained all of them without missing a single one! They couldn’t fight me, didn’t kill each other, and that was all thanks to their lack of shield.
My chariot was invited inside their living zone, just like inviting a wolf in the house. All I did was to roam around and my threads did the rest.
The second zone that didn’t cause much trouble to me was a zone controlled by necromancers. They used a wave tactic, using a great number of skeletons to fight their foes.
But they had no way to deal with me. Even if they had such elite skeletons, archers and mages, able to attack my chariot in the air, they ended up doing nothing at all thanks to my shield.
Then came those zombies. Well… They were fighting in a similar way like necromancers. They controlled a large number of infected zombies, forming a great wave like a tsunami.
But against aerial targets like my chariot, they couldn’t do anything.
Yet these last two races used siege weapons and shields. Unlike soulers, they were controlled after losing almost two thirds or more of their numbers.
I gained a lot! And kept jumping from one zone to another while laughing.
There was a ton of good news by getting these races.
First they were formidable ancient races, ones that were taken out of the picture for such a long time. Who remained were either seen as cursed and untouchable, or were treated as warriors.
Then their lack of cultivation was another big harvest. I could now train them to start cultivating, and send them to many betting worlds and conquer these places later on.
They came from ancient times, when the system was simple and rudimentary. I doubted apocalypses even existed at their time, with quests and stat addition things.
They lacked good gears, lacked good stats, and definitely lacked skills. They got their abilities, but it wasn’t that much without stats and skills.
I formed a theory, a theory about why and when the system started to form the apocalypse scenario and spread it all across the universe.
It must have happened after the fall of these mighty races. The universe was well protected by these formidable forces. And once gone, the system and its higher ups must have felt a real threat.
So they started this apocalypse sh*t, training all the weak races and finding new ways to make them stronger.
What would that imply? Such races were already formidable, enough to make them the top target for the hostile universe and those dirty people who caused all this mess.
Giving these races the ability to raise stats, get quests, and even start cultivation was like giving a copra wings to turn into a dragon and soar to heavens.
But taking control over each zone took at least a couple of days. Besides, I had to go and meet with the leader of each zone, speak with him about the state and history of the world.
Their stories didn’t differ that much. They all repeated the same, and all didn’t know anything about the missing five zones.
They warned me about the same things; don’t try out paths or go to the core of this world.
I didn’t give any heed to what they said. I had to go to the core to get rid of this world.
But first, I had to go and clear these paths. Then I’d send all of these races to the outside.
Fearing to cause a traffic jam, I scattered the twenty groups of them over the twenty-five paths. Like this, their departure from here would be faster.
