Chapter 1

In front of a majestic temple filled with towering stone pillars, a team of twenty players sat quietly on the stone steps, resting.

Lying not far from these players was a two-headed giant bear, easily over ten meters tall. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this two-headed giant bear was actually a Level 60 High Lord, whose strength was so great that even an elite hundred-man team of the same level wouldn't be a match.

Yet, this twenty-man team had taken it down.

The players in this team were at least Level 41, with some already reaching Level 42. As for the weapons and equipment they wore, the worst were Level 40 Dark-Gold ranked items. A team like this would be considered top-tier even within super guilds.

Moreover, these individuals were all independent players; not a single one belonged to a guild.

"Weiyang Jie, what happened?" A Level 41 female priest asked, looking curiously at Weiyang Qianhen, whose expression had suddenly turned surprised.

"It's nothing, I just saw an interesting piece of information," Ling Jingxuan said with a slight smile.

"Interesting information? What is it?" The female priest couldn't help but ask, curious.

Weiyang Qianhen rarely found anything interesting in the game. If she said something was interesting, it was definitely something extraordinary.

"The Blackwater Guild was completely annihilated by the Zero Wing Guild just now. I estimate that this news will soon spread throughout God's Domain," Ling Jingxuan said in a tone as if it were none of her concern.

"Annihilated!" At that moment, a guardian knight carrying a snow-white round shield and reaching Level 42 exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be a typo? I heard that the Blackwater Guild is quite powerful, and it's backed by the Blackwater Financial Group. How could it be defeated like this?"

The word "annihilation" was rarely used in guild wars. After all, guild wars involved a large number of players, and it was already very difficult to eliminate seven or eight tenths of the opposing side, let alone completely annihilate them.

To be called an annihilation, generally, more than 95% of the opposing side had to be eliminated. To achieve such a complete victory, one side usually had to be much, much stronger than the other, or even on a completely different level.

"It's indeed the complete annihilation of the Blackwater Guild. Moreover, it's not just the Blackwater Guild; the Heavenly Burial and Pantheon, who also sent large armies, didn't have a single player leave Stone Forest Town alive," Ling Jingxuan shook her head and said with certainty.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing Ling Jingxuan's words.

If the Blackwater Guild was just a newly established guild, it was indeed possible for it to be completely annihilated, but what was Pantheon?

It was a super guild.

When had it ever been completely annihilated?

"Just who is this Zero Wing Guild? This is too amazing. Even the other super guilds in the past have never fought Pantheon and completely annihilated them. How did Zero Wing do it?"

"Zero Wing is going to be successful now. It will definitely stir up a storm in God's Domain."

"However, I estimate that Pantheon will definitely be furious. After all, Zero Wing stepped on them to climb up this time, and they definitely won't let Zero Wing go."

"I wonder what level Zero Wing will be classified into in this year's virtual game guild rankings."

"Generally speaking, it's very likely to be rated as a first-rate guild, but with this happening, it's really hard to say. I heard that two top-tier guilds have been declining recently, and they might be replaced."

"I don't think a top-tier guild is possible, but today's Five Emerging Guilds should be guaranteed."

"By the way, Weiyang, you're so concerned about the Zero Wing Guild. Could it be that you have friends in the Zero Wing Guild?"

Although the people in the team were independent players, their understanding of the virtual game world was no less than that of those big guilds. They knew the power of super guilds very well.

For a new guild established in God's Domain to achieve such success, it was definitely extremely rare among the many new guilds.

"Friends?" Ling Jingxuan thought for a moment and said seriously, "It should be about right. In short, I haven't spent less effort on Zero Wing."

Because of Qi Yitao's defeat, the entire Blackwater Guild was in chaos, and even the higher-ups of the Blackwater Financial Group were alarmed, asking her to attend a meeting to prepare to quickly make up for the loss of face within a short period of time.

After all, it was the first major battle of the Blackwater Guild. Losing would have been fine, but the key was being completely annihilated by others.

Even if they eventually destroyed Stone Forest Town and caused Zero Wing to suffer heavy losses, it wouldn't look good to the outside world.

In the eyes of the outside world, the reason for the destruction was because they couldn't obtain it.

…

Apocalypse Empire, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's residence in the imperial capital.

"They actually completely annihilated Blackwater?" Feng Qianyu couldn't believe the news she had just received.

Two hundred thousand monster troops plus more than one hundred thousand Blackwater elites, as well as fifty thousand Heavenly Burial Guild elites and the Pantheon's three core legions, including the famous Red Jade Legion, yet Zero Wing ultimately won a complete victory. It seemed somewhat unrealistic, but Zero Wing did it, which was simply unbelievable.

"Qianyu Jie, are we still going to White River City?" Qing Feng asked from the side.

The competition for Heavenly Thunder Island was quite fierce, and even if they gathered all the strength of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, they wouldn't have much confidence in obtaining control, let alone the individual Phoenix Pavilion.

Moreover, compared to the Starting Town they currently controlled, Heavenly Thunder Island was undoubtedly more important.

"Go, of course, we have to go." Feng Qianyu looked at the information in her hand and became more and more happy.

Originally, she didn't have much confidence in the matter of Heavenly Thunder Island, but now after reading Zero Wing's information, she couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope.

…

Meanwhile, in Star-Moon Kingdom, the entire official website forum had exploded. Almost all players were talking about the battle.

Blackwater and Heavenly Burial had suffered heavy losses, especially the Blackwater Guild, which had completely fallen into a trough. Many guild members expressed dissatisfaction with the command of the battle. In just over ten minutes, more than ten thousand members had left the guild, including many guild elites.

Because of this battle, the strength of the Blackwater and Heavenly Burial Guilds was severely depleted, allowing the Star River Alliance, which had been suppressed, to rise again.

On the other hand, the Zero Wing Guild, due to its great victory, completely dispelled the thoughts of many large guilds that still wanted to plot against them, especially the Smiling倾城 (Yi Xiao Qing Cheng) Guild, which had begun to shift the guild's focus to other kingdoms, no longer stopping Zero Wing members from developing towards surrounding cities.

For a time, no guild in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom dared to be enemies with Zero Wing, making it the uncrowned overlord of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

The only pity was that Zero Wing had lost Stone Forest Town, greatly limiting the sensational effect brought about by this hard-won victory.

However, just as the major guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom were secretly gloating, something surprising suddenly happened in Stone Forest Town that shocked the Zero Wing members.

That was, the evil aura that had been polluting the town actually began to slowly dissipate and weaken.
