Chapter 509 - Prelude to the World War (Part 1)
“Only one day remains until the end of the King’s Battle event and the start of the World War! Predictions indicate no further changes to Blue Planet’s top ten king seats!”
“Among Blue Planet’s representatives, six are from Xia, and four are ancient beastmasters. Xia’s position as the top beastmaster nation on Blue Planet is unshakable!”
“International Beastmaster Alliance: This war is no longer about nationality. It is a conflict between two worlds. Regardless of the outcome, let us cheer for the beastmasters representing Blue Planet together.”
“Expert analysis suggests Blue Planet’s overall strength still lags slightly behind Stellar Moon. The key to victory may lie in evolution crystals.”
“By now, Blue Planet and Stellar Moon beastmasters have had numerous interactions. Blue Planet’s advantage lies in the unique trait fusion mechanism granted by contract cards and the evolution mechanism.
“Because Stellar Moon’s familiars can only rely on cultivation-based evolution, their familiars rarely possess abilities beyond their inherent species traits. Their growth and evolution paths are relatively normal and scientific, relying on inherited knowledge.
“In contrast, Blue Planet’s familiars can fuse various bizarre traits, with little precedent to follow. This makes their evolution more diverse, and their species abilities often defy conventional logic. Records show that in ascension realms, when two familiars of the same level and species clash, Blue Planet beastmasters have a higher win rate against Stellar Moon beastmasters.
“Although Blue Planet is slightly weaker in average beastmaster levels, our familiars’ cultivation depth gives us the upper hand. Even if both sides’ familiars are strengthened by evolution crystals, Blue Planet’s familiars that are equipped with a myriad of peculiar traits will demonstrate greater tactical value in battle!
“According to intelligence, the ancient beastmaster, Drought Demon, recently revealed two Superior-Overlord Fire-attribute familiars and attempted to challenge the Flame Phoenix Ruins to obtain a Legendary Flame Phoenix egg. Although he ultimately failed, his prolonged battle in the ruins suggests he might be key to Blue Planet’s victory against Stellar Moon’s Ice Emperor!”
As expected, following Fang Lan, Gu Qingyi and Lin Nian eliminated the Snow Federation King and the Ahsan King. For Xia, this outcome was cause for celebration, but globally, it left beastmasters from other nations feeling powerless.
However, with the World War imminent, mainstream media across Blue Planet couldn’t afford to dampen morale. They tirelessly highlighted Blue Planet’s strengths. While many nations were displeased that Xia dominated the representative roster, there was little they could do. The slots were earned through battle. Their own beastmasters simply hadn’t measured up.
At this point, the identity of the representatives mattered less than securing victory. No one wanted Blue Planet’s Limitless City to be downgraded due to defeat. After all, Stellar Moon’s beastmasters envied Blue Planet’s Limitless City facilities immensely.
