Chapter 5 The Shock of the Lords of All Realms, The True Inheritance of the Dao Ancestor?
The echoes of the global announcement still reverberate in the heavens.
The entire battlefield of myriad realms seemed to fall into a deathly silence.
Even the wind stopped.
No.
To be precise, countless lords who were fighting stopped what they were doing at the same moment, looked up in stunned silence at the golden announcement that stretched across the sky.
That string of words was etched into the pupils of every living being like a brand.
[World Announcement: The human novice lord "True Inheritance of the Dao Ancestor" has broken the record for the "Newbie Camp" trial mission "Standing Ground" across all realms, completing the battle in a total time of 31 seconds!]
31 seconds.
This number struck like a heavy hammer, slamming into the heart of every lord.
……
Battlefield of Myriad Realms, Central Continent, within the territory of the Human Federation.
In a territory that has just completed the novice lord trial and successfully advanced to the first tier, a young lord with the ID "Sword Soaring Clouds" is counting his newly acquired spoils.
It took him three whole days and countless tactical maneuvers to barely clear out the three monster spawn points around his territory.
At this moment, he was feeling smug about his "excellent results".
After all, completing the beginner tasks in three days is already considered to be above average among newcomers of the same period.
Then, the world announcement rang out.
Jian Lingyun's smile froze on his face.
"Holy crap... 3...31...seconds?"
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
I rubbed it again.
Still 31 seconds.
"impossible!"
He suddenly stood up, and the chair crashed to the ground.
"This is absolutely impossible! There are only three monster spawn points in the beginner quest; just walking there takes more than 31 seconds! How is this possible?!"
His lips were trembling.
Three days.
It took him three days.
And that person... took 31 seconds.
Jian Lingyun plopped back down on the ground, his eyes vacant, as if all his energy had been drained away.
"I...I don't understand."
……
Battlefield of Myriad Realms, Northern Ice Plains.
A tall orc lord was commanding his wolf riders to hunt down the last wild monster.
His body was covered in silvery-white fur, his fangs were exposed, and his eyes gleamed with ferocity.
His name is "Bloodfang," and he is the recognized genius lord of the current generation of orc tribes.
His time to complete the newbie quest was one day and seven hours.
This achievement would rank among the top ten in the history of the Orc tribes.
At this moment, he was stroking his newly acquired spoils with his rough, large hands, a smug smile spreading across his face.
"Haha, those weaklings from the human race are probably still struggling with that first little monster, right?"
Before he could finish speaking...
A global announcement has arrived.
Bloodfang's smile froze instantly.
31 seconds.
His pupils contracted sharply, and his fangs clenched with a grinding sound.
"Impossible...impossible! By the Beast God, this must be a mistake! 31 seconds? Even if you kill a monster with one strike, it would still take several minutes, right?"
"How could we possibly complete the mission in such a short time?"
"Unless... unless he arrives in the 'Myriad Realms' with an army of thousands!"
But Bloodfang knew that there was no way to cheat in the beginner quests.
These are rules set by the will of the heavens, and no race or power can interfere with them.
That is to say-
That human lord called "True Disciple of the Dao Ancestor" truly completed the beginner's quest in 31 seconds by virtue of his own strength.
Bloodfang fell silent.
After a long silence, he muttered, "Could this guy really be a true disciple of the Dao Ancestor?"
"If that's the case, then humanity... is likely to face a major upheaval."
……
Battlefield of Myriad Realms, Southern Dense Forest.
The elven territory is like a string of pearls set among towering trees.
At this moment, a beautiful elven girl with waist-length silver hair stood atop the treetop, overlooking her territory.
Her ID is "Moon Song". She is of royal elven blood and has an SS-level lord talent rating. She is the most dazzling new star of this generation of elves.
Her tutorial completion time was four hours.
This broke the Elven record that had stood for nearly a century.
At this moment, she is receiving an award from the clan elders.
"Moon Song, you are the pride of my people."
A white-bearded elf elder smiled and said, "A four-hour performance is something few can achieve across the entire battlefield of the myriad realms. You have already brought glory to the elven race."
Yuege nodded slightly, a reserved smile playing on her lips.
"Elder, you flatter me. Yuege did her best."
The voice just fell.
The announcement resounded throughout the world.
31 seconds.
Yuege's smile vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Her fingers tightened slightly, her nails digging into her palms.
"31... seconds?"
Elder Whitebeard's smile also froze.
An eerie silence fell over the entire elven territory.
After a long silence, Yuege spoke softly, her voice tinged with an undisguised bitterness: "Elder, I take back what I just said. Four hours... doesn't seem like much at all."
The elder opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort him, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.
31 seconds.
This number, like a mountain, weighs heavily on the heads of all the genius lords.
……
Battlefield of Myriad Realms, Abyss Below.
The territory of the Machine Race is like a finely tuned steel fortress, with countless gears turning and steam billowing out.
A mechanical life form, its entire body made of silvery-white metal, is scanning its territory data with cold electronic eyes.
Its designation is "XK-001", the most powerful lord in terms of computing power among the new generation of the Machine Race.
Its beginner quest completion time is three hours and fifteen minutes.
This is the fastest record in the history of the Machine Race, and it even comes close to the historical record of the entire Battlefield of All Worlds.
Green data streams flashed in XK-001's electronic eyes as it analyzed the contents of the world announcement.
"31 seconds... Calculating... Verifying... Conclusion: Under the current rules, this result is theoretically impossible to achieve."
Its mechanical fingers tapped rapidly on the ground.
"Unless... this lord possesses a top-tier talent that transcends the current understanding of the world. Recalculating... Unable to calculate. Insufficient data. Recommendation: Immediately gather information on this lord."
The electronic eye of the XK-001 flashes at a faster frequency.
This was the first time it had encountered something that couldn't be explained by logic.
……
Battlefield of myriad realms, abyss of demons.
Lava churned, and the smell of sulfur filled the air.
A demon lord with curved ram horns and a long, thin tail sat on a bone throne, watching the world announcement with great interest.
His name is "Fen Tian," the most brutal genius of this generation of demons.
His newbie quest completion time was exactly ten days.
It wasn't that he wasn't skilled enough, but rather that he deliberately didn't clear the level, waiting for the monsters to respawn so he could continue killing them—he wanted to enjoy the thrill of slaughter.
"The true teachings of the Dao Ancestor? What arrogance!"
Fen Tian grinned ferociously, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"Hehehe!"
"A genius like that must be a real treat to eat."
He licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
"Go, thoroughly investigate this new human lord's background. Once his newbie protection period is over..."
He crushed the bone armrest in his hand.
"I want to tear him to pieces with my own hands."
