So he also thought of a backup plan. That is to summon those elite players who are willing to join HIM's side to gather around.
Pengpeng knows that HIM has the ability to teleport people, and if HIM agrees, they will be able to reach the entrance of the Divine Domain competition faster.
After hearing Pengpeng's words, Xu Yuan thought for a moment.
Pengpeng's suggestion was good. He had also considered the possibility that zombie players might not be able to enter the Divine Domain competition.
Xu Yuan was also unsure whether he could enter the Divine Domain competition. So bringing some well-skilled players was a good idea.
After thinking about this, Xu Yuan told Pengpeng.
"All of you come with me."
Xu Yuan also refined Pengpeng's plan a bit more.
If Xu Yuan himself couldn't enter the Divine Domain competition and those players who entered didn't win first place, then the final grand prize would definitely fall into the hands of other players.
In that case, if one wanted to obtain the final artifact, they could only snatch it from the players.
Although Xu Yuan could handle it with just one avatar, he didn't know how long the Divine Domain competition would last.
Naturally, Xu Yuan couldn't stay there guarding it the whole time.
So bringing Pengpeng and the others was the best choice.
Furthermore, there would definitely be many players who thought like Xu Yuan.
If they couldn't get it, they would just try to snatch it.
Outside the entrance to the Divine Domain competition, there would certainly be many players lying in wait.
If Pengpeng and the others went, they could let them and 007 level up a bit.
Xu Yuan also wouldn't let go of any opportunity to "milk the sheep."
It was at the point that even capitalists would shed tears.
After hearing HIM's proposal, Pengpeng immediately gathered the players. After knowing HIM's intentions, Pengpeng was also extremely excited.
This was their first time fighting alongside HIM!
Seeing this, Pengpeng immediately summoned the zombie players and the uninfected players to come over.
The players were divided into two teams, one led by Pengpeng with the zombie players.
The other team consisted of the uninfected players.
What Xu Yuan didn't expect was that this group of uninfected players was actually led by Black Blade.
When the players gathered, Xu Yuan was surprised to see that Black Blade had appeared among the uninfected players.
At this moment, his skin color had returned to its normal state. It seemed like he no longer belonged to the zombie faction.
Xu Yuan, upon noticing this, looked at the control list and, sure enough, his vision no longer showed Black Blade.
When Black Blade saw Xu Yuan looking at him, he quickly stepped forward and kneeled in front of Xu Yuan. Before Xu Yuan could ask, he hurriedly explained. "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
"You granted me power, and I should have cherished it."
"But the Divine Domain competition is the first task You have given us... I don't trust others... So I wanted to personally lead the team to complete this task..."
Pengpeng saw this and immediately stepped forward to explain.
"Your Majesty... Black Blade is the best at technology among us... He gave up the power You granted him just to complete the task..."
Actually, when Black Blade proposed it to Pengpeng, Pengpeng was also shocked. You should know, the power granted by HIM was hard to come by.
Pengpeng didn't know the exact conditions for receiving HIM's power. Black Blade had finally obtained the power HIM granted him. With his skills and the power he had, he was already at the top of the player hierarchy.
But Black Blade gave it all up.
His exact words were, "These players I've summoned may have good skills, but they're not reliable. If someone really gets the artifact, we still don't know if they are loyal to Your Majesty. So, it's best for me to go. My skills surpass theirs, and I can also give some commands."
"Since the president already has the infection ability, I can be infected again later."
Black Blade's words and actions proved his loyalty. He gave up all the values he had worked hard to accumulate for so long and the power HIM granted him.
All of that was to ensure that he could complete the task HIM had given.
Whether the task was completed or not, he would have to start over.
All his previous efforts became nothing. But he didn't think twice about it; his only thought was to successfully complete the task.
Pengpeng had also tried to persuade Black Blade several times to reconsider. But Black Blade didn't hesitate at all and stuck to his plan. Seeing this, Pengpeng could only go along with him.
After hearing their words, Xu Yuan was also surprised. At this moment, he saw the fanatic HIM worshippers from the village in Black Blade.
Previously, when Xu Yuan observed the village, he always thought that the HIM worshippers there were a bit exaggerated.
But now, something similar was happening to him.
Since Xu Yuan gained the infection ability, he was also very clear that the players wanted to join the zombie faction because zombies could grow.
Later, when Xu Yuan evolved Pengpeng, many people wanted to join the zombie faction because they longed for power.
In short, these people cared more about their own interests. But Black Blade was different.
He willingly gave up the abilities and attributes he had worked so hard to acquire to complete HIM's task. He was the true believer of HIM.
Outsiders might think that Black Blade wasted everything, but Xu Yuan knew better. Black Blade's actions were not a waste.
Even if he had to start from scratch, because of his faith in HIM, Black Blade would grow quickly. Xu Yuan believed that it wouldn't be long before he could evolve again.
Xu Yuan looked at Pengpeng and Black Blade, who were kneeling before him.
Both looked very nervous. They were also afraid that Xu Yuan would blame them. After all, Pengpeng and Black Blade were the only ones who had been granted power by HIM. Black Blade was giving up that power.
They were afraid that HIM might misunderstand and think that Black Blade disrespected HIM. Xu Yuan raised his hand, signaling them to stand up.
Seeing that HIM didn't blame them, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to say something, the scenery in front of them shifted.
The next second, everyone found themselves in a plain. Looking at the coordinates, they realized they had arrived near the entrance to the Divine Domain competition.
In the distance on the prairie, people were everywhere. A huge, distorted spatial entrance hovered above the grassland.
Pengpeng and the others gasped in surprise. "What the heck?! So many people?!"
"Ugh... Good thing His Majesty didn't bring us directly here. We would've been surrounded..."
"This must be intentional, right? The entrance to the Divine Domain competition is in a PVP zone?!"
It's unclear whether the official set this up on purpose or if it was random. The location of the Divine Domain competition was right in the middle of a PVP zone.
On the grassland, all sorts of blocks were haphazardly placed. Leaves, cacti, clay tiles, and more...
The ground was chaotic with pits everywhere. There were also flowing lava, water, flames, and various traps.
In the sky, besides flying arrows, there were all kinds of strange things... Half-bricks, wooden sticks, wooden doors, eggs, rotten meat...
These were still considered normal.
There were even players being thrown out and their underwear... One had to admit, this free combat mode was pretty intense.
Before even entering the Divine Domain competition, the players had already started a large-scale brawl. After all, every player they killed outside would reduce one spot for entry, and one less competitor for themselves.
"Whose underwear is this? It slapped me in the face!!"
"Who the heck is throwing poisonous potatoes?! Damn, I just swallowed one!! Ugh!"
"Who the heck fights with doors?! It squashed me!!"
"Brothers! Cover me! I'm trying to sneak in!!"
"Damn! Can't we fight inside? Why are we all stuck out here?!"
"Stop fighting! We've finally found a spot, can we just get in and see?!"
"..."
Although it was chaotic, from this battle, one could tell that players' strength had significantly progressed during this time.
