Chapter 612 ZephyrStrider Transformation

Silvervale City Teleportation Hall.

Thanks to the growing fame of the Guild of Aether Wing and the many high-end products from Candlelight Trading House, more and more players were being attracted here. The spacious hall was filled with players forming groups for dungeons everywhere you looked.

The bustling scene was even more impressive than Eldoria City.

As soon as Eric stepped out of the teleportation hall, he could feel the surging energy behind all this prosperity.

Besides a large number of independent players on the streets, there were also quite a few players from other guilds. These guild players generally had high levels - though not as high as the Dark Cave players, they were still around level 27 or 28, which was definitely considered high-level in Divine Realms: Legends. Their equipment was all Adamantite Level and Mithril Level quality, making ordinary players green with envy.

"That guild is so impressive, their equipment is so fancy, almost catching up with those powerful guilds in Silvervale City."

"I've heard of that guild. It's a recently formed guild in Silvervale City called Heavenly Burial. Even though it's new, it's super strong. They've already cleared many 20-player Infernal-level team dungeons and are now working on 50-player team dungeons. I heard the forces backing Heavenly Burial are pretty solid."

"Heavenly Burial isn't just backed by solid forces. A few hours ago, one of their top players beat the fourth floor of the Gods and Demons Arena, making them the tenth guild in Silvervale City to reach the fourth floor."

"I've been to that new Gods and Demons Arena. I spent a Sorcerous Crystal to try it once. That challenge mode is seriously hard. I worked my butt off to clear the first floor and get to the second, but as soon as I entered the second floor, I got instantly killed. Only got one silver coin as a reward - what a huge loss."

"This Heavenly Burial is really something. Just formed not long ago and already reached the fourth floor so fast. The strongest guild in Silvervale City, Guild of Aether Wing, has only made it to the fifth floor of the Gods and Demons Arena."

Many players on the street were interested in the new guilds and the Gods and Demons Arena, chatting about these topics.

After the third system update in Divine Realms: Legends, combat became harder for players, but the Gods and Demons Arena was a great place to train skills. The only problem was the high cost, and it required Sorcerous Crystals as currency, which caused the price of Sorcerous Crystals to skyrocket - they'd already doubled in price.

"As expected, what's coming will always come." Eric glanced at the Heavenly Burial members, feeling somewhat helpless.

Not long after Divine Realms: Legends launched, major corporations around the world were still in the preparation stage, and other corporations and companies hadn't invested too much. But with the opening of the Gods and Demons Arena, which was showing signs of replacing the real-world Fighting Championship, these corporations and companies started taking it seriously and increased their investments.

Suddenly, countless new guilds popped up throughout Divine Realms: Legends, all wanting a piece of the pie.

Several major companies had entered the Eldoria Kingdom - some directly invested in established guilds, others formed their own new guilds. Among these guilds, the three most famous were Wind and Smoke Nine Heavens, Court of Light and Dark, and Heavenly Burial. These three guilds stirred up new waves in the Eldoria Kingdom, and combined with the training system in the Gods and Demons Arena, many regional guild powers were reshuffled.

In his previous life, Heavenly Burial had developed in Eldoria City with huge ambitions. While the two major guilds Stellar Alliance and Devouring Serpents were constantly wearing each other down, Heavenly Burial gave both first-tier guilds quite a hard time, establishing their position in Eldoria City in one fell swoop.

For a new guild to give two first-tier guilds a hard time and become a major power in Eldoria City - that strength absolutely couldn't be ignored.

Eric hadn't expected that after Silvervale City had quietly become the number one player city in Eldoria Kingdom, Heavenly Burial would come here to develop.

And among the new guilds Eric saw, Heavenly Burial wasn't the only one - there were members from two other guilds as well.

"How interesting. They all came running to Silvervale City, wanting to grab the fat piece of meat I worked so hard to build up. Do they really think Aether Wing is easy to bully?" Eric couldn't help but smile.

The Guild of Aether Wing certainly had many enemies - The Stygian Alliance lurking in the shadows, plus they'd provoked Dragon Pavilion.

If they made a big move, these guilds might indeed benefit, rising to become one of Silvervale City's dominant powers. After controlling massive player resources, it would be much easier to absorb other areas later.

As Eric made his way to the Silvervale City library.

He'd only been away from Silvervale City for a short time, but in the city center, he saw quite a few players with NPC guards.

NPC guards had become the hope for many players without combat ability, and were also receiving attention from major guilds. They were developing incredibly fast, especially valued by players who wanted to become merchants.

Divine Realms: Legends wasn't just about grinding in the wild - players could also do quests. Many merchants without combat ability could rely on these NPC guards for special quests, though for most quests, ordinary guards couldn't help players - only direct guards would work.

Having powerful direct guards was like having strong combat ability yourself, allowing you to complete high-level quests and obtain many rare items.

Just as Eric arrived in front of the Silvervale City library, a system call notification rang. The caller was WarUnbound.

"Brother Kai Blackthorn, you're finally online. I've been trying to contact you this whole time. How are your preparations going?" WarUnbound asked with some concern.

Eric was the expert he'd recommended, so if Eric didn't pass the selection, it would be quite embarrassing for him.

"I don't have any problems, I can go participate in the selection anytime. Brother Wuji, you're contacting me now - did something come up?" Eric asked.

The Beast City selection was tomorrow morning, still quite a while away. WarUnbound contacting him now must mean something happened.

"It's not really a big deal, it's just that the higher-ups temporarily changed the requirements for this selection. If you pass the selection and join the team, you must sign a contract and become a company employee. Of course, the benefits in all aspects have also greatly improved - like after winning competitions, individuals can get half a percent of the betting pool." WarUnbound explained. "If Kai Blackthorn joins the team, with your skills, you could easily earn several times or even over ten times more credit points than a first-tier guild leader. Once the team becomes famous, your status might be much higher than those first-tier guild leaders. What do you think, Brother Kai Blackthorn?"

WarUnbound and his brothers didn't care about signing contracts since they were already company employees, but Eric was different. Eric belonged to the Guild of Aether Wing and was a core member, so he must have signed a contract. If he joined the team, he couldn't join guilds anymore unless the company allowed it.

Simply put, it limited the freedom of team players - no longer a cooperative arrangement.

"Of course, if Kai Blackthorn is selected as a team member, the company will handle any guild contract violations - you can rest assured about that, Kai Blackthorn." WarUnbound was confident in Eric's abilities and hoped Eric would join the team.

In his view, what was a virtual game guild?

How could it compare to a world-class corporation?
