The Death List Novel - Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Invitation Letter

“In this way, there are indeed many things that can be explained!” Qin Lun nodded. “So Atlantis is such a floating continent that was teleported into the shattered starry sky as a whole?”

“En!” Malfoy seemed to feel that he had deviated from the main theme, so he turned around and said, “Perhaps it was because this continent-wide teleportation allowed Atlantis to maintain the laws of the originally civilized world that the humans on it did not become apostles.”

However, due to the spacetime storm during the teleportation process and its collision with the laws of the shattered starry sky, Atlantis had lost more than 90% of its population when it first appeared. For the first hundred years, the humans above Atlantis had been struggling to the brink of death. Not only did they have to fight against wild creatures and natural disasters, they also had to endure hunger and disease!

The Atlanteans of this period showed unimaginable courage and strength. Together, they established a strong base in the continental plains, slowly reproducing under the leadership of a few apostles who were transported into Atlantis.

Because the intelligent races of the other floating continents in the Broken Star System didn’t know the coordinates of Atlantis’ star gates at this time, they weren’t invaded by the other floating continents and safely passed the first hundred years.

After Atlantis entered its second century, the humans above also began a period of great development. In this century, not only did they wipe out the large-scale wildlife nests on Atlantis, but they also built many cities. The population slowly recovered to its peak. At its peak, it was said that there were tens of millions of humans on it.

The Holy City of Atlantis in the center of the continent was built at this time! There were millions of humans and tens of thousands of apostles inside, and they were no weaker than any other apostle city.

During this hundred years, the surrounding floating continents slowly learned the coordinates of Atlantis’ star gates, and they fought several continental wars with Atlantis one after another.

In these continental wars, Atlantis relied on an incomparably strong population base and the sincere cooperation of tens of thousands of apostles. They had all won major victories and occupied several nearby floating continents one after another, stabilizing their position in the shattered starry sky.

However, when the Atlanteans entered the third century full of confidence, the lack of experience of the newborn race appeared! They had made the same fatal mistake as all the intelligent races of the Ancient Fragmentary Universe!

The humans of Atlantis ignored the iron law of the intelligent races and apostles of the Shattered Universe, or rather, they had not yet grasped the cruelty of the iron law.

Their obedience to the higher apostles and their arrogance towards the beginner apostles caused the higher apostles in the Holy City to often squeeze the beginner apostles. As a result, the beginner apostles had to travel to other floating continents to find a new place to stay.

Inside Atlantis, there were mountains of humans. For the sake of their own group interests, they drove their high-level apostle guilds to battle each other, causing endless internal strife.

When most of the high-level apostles died in mission worlds and internal friction wars, and the apostle team didn’t have enough time to replenish their blood, Atlantis’ foreign wars began to fail one after another. They quickly lost the floating continent they occupied nearby, and were gradually invaded by other intelligent races into Atlantis.

Most regrettably, Atlantis’ Holy City was not destroyed in an external war, but was destroyed in internal strife! More than half of the city’s population and tens of thousands of apostles were dragged into the civil war, and Atlantis’ most resplendent pearl of civilization fell!

“Atlantis, as a whole, only lasted 300 years in the shattered starry sky!” Malfoy shook his head emotionally. “They were like a dazzling meteor that gave off a brief dazzling light and disappeared into the long river of history!”

“What happened afterwards? What happened afterwards!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he listened with interest. Seeing that Malfoy had stopped talking, he hurriedly asked.

“Afterwards … there was no aftermath!” Malfoy was originally a little sentimental, but seeing Qin Lun’s heartless and heartless appearance, he instantly lost all mood and glared at Qin Lun angrily.

“Oh!” Qin Lun smacked his lips and suddenly asked with a frown, “What does this card have to do with you saying so much?”

“Atlantis, as a whole, has vanished into thin air. However, the people, minerals, and cultural heritage it left behind have not disappeared! Besides, although the Holy City of Atlantis was destroyed by the Civil War, there must still be the treasures of the Apostles of Atlantis in every corner of the city!” Malfoy said with a smile.

“You know, after the death of the apostles, most of the equipment and items that fused with the Laws of Fragmentation will be taken back by the Shattered Universe. However, equipment items that were special treasures would be left on the spot. Moreover, Atlantis had dozens of large apostle teams at its peak. They must have had quite a few half-plane sites, and there were quite a few good items in those sites … ”

“So, this card you sent is … a pass to Atlantis?” Qin Lun pointed at the card and asked.

“Pass?” Malfoy was slightly stunned, then he smiled and said, “No, this thing isn’t a pass yet. It’s just an invitation letter!”

The decline of Atlantis attracted the attention of many intelligent races and apostolic cities. No intelligent race, not even an apostolic city, could devour such a large piece of cake alone.

The intelligent races needed Atlantis’ population, minerals, and cultural heritage, the apostles needed special treasures left in the Holy City, and the large high-level apostle guilds needed half of the guild … In short, everyone coveted Atlantis, but they didn’t have enough strength to obtain all of it.

Therefore, the intelligent races and apostle cities that had fought Atlantis could only divide Atlantis up and obtain a portion of it according to their strength. In order not to cause chaotic wars in the century, the old apostle cities in the shattered starry sky had launched the fairest form of distribution. They will send representatives of the apostles from the cities to determine the proportion of their profits based on their strength.

This kind of battle between the apostle cities was called the city war!

“The apostle city’s battle for supremacy?!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he asked cautiously, “This kind of competition should be between high-level apostles. Why would someone give me an invitation to a hegemony battle?”

“No, the city war is a measure of the overall strength of the entire apostle city, including apostles of all levels, legends versus legends, high-order versus high-order, low-order apostles will naturally be dealt with by low-order apostles!” Malfoy said with a smile.

“The allocation of resources between cities is determined by the number of apostles who survive the battle for supremacy. They win the largest share of the cake in the cities with the largest number of apostles remaining. Within the cities, the management races and large apostle teams also reap the benefits they deserve in this way!”

“Haha, in that case, only the apostles will fight in the city wars. Your intelligent races are just spectators!” Qin Lun mockingly winked at Malfoy.

“You’re so merciless!” Malfoy smiled bitterly. “A war of urban hegemony may kill hundreds of thousands of apostles, but the intelligent races in charge of managing the cities that qualify to participate in the war of urban hegemony must have sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people in the war! Do you think we will be able to relax?”

“I’m sorry! But why would a large team send invitations to outsiders like us?” Qin Lun pondered for a moment before raising his head and asking again.

“Haha, you’ve got the point!” Malfoy looked at Qin Lun with admiration.

“For an apostolic city to continue to thrive, large teams at the top cannot control all of the benefits and even tilt a significant portion of their resources towards the bottom apostles. Only a portion of them will be sent out, and other invitations will be sent to small and medium-sized apostle teams in the apostolic alliance.

However, invitations to small and medium-sized apostle teams are not the same as the ones in your hands. Those invitations are called wildcards. The invitations in your hands should belong to the inner cards of the Lost team. ”

“Is there any difference between an inner card and an outer card?” Qin Lun asked curiously.

“There are two ways of issuing wild cards. One is through the Alliance of Three Ambassadors and Disciples of the Horn of the Devil to small teams in the Alliance, and the other is through the management race entrusting urban mercenaries, who are basically mercenary apostles with high urban points. The other is through large teams like ‘Lost’, as well as within the management race.

The biggest difference between the two was that the apostles who obtained the Wild Card had to undergo several rounds of selection in the Apostolic Alliance’s Half-Plane Arena. As for the apostles who obtained Necca, they only needed to go through one selection, and that was the elimination match between the three ambassadors and disciples of the Horn of the Devil, “Maffa sighed.

“I thought you would need at least half a year to get in touch with these things. I didn’t expect that someone would send you an invitation to the City Hegemon Tournament. Be careful, that person might not be appreciating you, but he might be harming you.

One had to know that even though the urban hegemony battle was between the beginner and the beginner, the difference in strength between the apostles who had just entered the beginner realm and those who were at the peak of the beginner realm was still very large. And in a war of hegemony, a well-connected apostle is different from a solitary apostle like you. “They will form a temporary guild, and you have only been in the Corner of the Abyss for two months. Even if you know a few people, they may not be able to help you in the battle for supremacy!”

“Haha, Malfoy, if I can survive the battle, what benefits will I get?” Qin Lun’s eyes shone brightly. His emotions gradually became excited. He opened his palm and clenched his fists again. His knuckles were pale from being clenched by him.
