Chapter 322 The Past

Bai Ye’s mind was a little hazy, and many past scenes flashed before his eyes.

Back then, the world battlefield had reached its final stage, and there were no longer so many regional divisions.

Most areas were either destroyed or merged.

Ultimately, everyone divided the world battlefield into only four zones: East, West, North, and South, plus the Central zone where the exit of the world battlefield was located.

The East Zone: Twin Whites, Bai Lu and Bai Ye!

The two of them dominated all the technological zones in the East.

Bai Lu alone could destroy a city.

Bai Ye alone possessed the combat power to control a city.

In the West Zone was Huang Quan, known as the Underworld King, who could summon an army of the undead and rampage unchecked. He once fought Bai Ye’s mechanical army to a draw.

The West Zone, under his control, was impenetrable to outsiders.

This was the reign of kings!

In the North Zone, two heroes clashed: Sword God Xia Zhi Feng and Demon King Heath Morras, playing the roles of destined enemies, fighting fiercely day in and day out.

During the struggle for the Central Zone, they both went berserk, ultimately fighting to their deaths.

In the South Zone, Lilith Jera, crowned with the title of Apostle, was the only woman to receive divine power. At the time, many experts referred to her as the closest to a god.

In fact, Bai Ye’s journey to the end also involved an element of luck.

At that time, Lilith Jera was considered the one closest to the Central Tower and most likely to leave the world battlefield.

Apart from the top-tier experts…

On Mount Duankong, Situ Chicheng meditated on the way of the sword.

In the Nine-Layered Tomb, Dolonu meticulously trained his flying corpses.

In Feilei Tian, Kasala tempered his Thunder Hammer.

By the Sea of Oblivion, Ye Yue playfully waded in the water barefoot.

But did these named experts drive the progression of the world battlefield?

No, not at all!

It had nothing to do with strength; often, there was a limit to what one person could achieve, no matter how powerful they were.

The fundamental core driving the world battlefield’s progression was regional exploration and the excavation of forbidden zones, which led to the massive appearance of Divine Stone fragments and large-scale conflicts.

Then…

To adapt to this rhythm, they had to continue exploring and excavating forbidden zones, in a repeating cycle.

Therefore, Bai Ye believed that the ones truly pushing the world battlefield’s progress…

Were the three major factions!

Namely…

The Hidden Dragon Society, the Evil Spirit Legion, and the Flower Street.

These three factions had a large number of personnel and could act in an organized and orderly manner. Their activities were the core driving force behind the world battlefield’s progression.

To put it more directly…

Bai Ye’s final battle in his previous life—the Central Zone War!

Was the conflict then among the various top experts?

Certainly not!

The total number of participants in that war exceeded ten thousand. It was the final battle and the largest in the history of the world battlefield.

And the majority of these participants were from the three major factions.

The so-called experts were, in the end, only a limited number of individuals.

How could they possibly initiate the Central Zone War?

It was the three major factions that truly initiated the Central Zone War!

They believed that the final hour had come, and their factions were qualified to advance into the Central Zone.

Therefore, the Central Zone War commenced.

Experts?

The so-called experts were merely conforming to the era and joining this war.

As for the present, the Hidden Dragon Society had already begun to take shape.

This was unavoidable. The orchestrators of the Hidden Dragon Society were not even within the world battlefield. They were powerful individuals who had entered and then left the world battlefield, establishing it in their own worlds.

Thus, the Hidden Dragon Society had a natural foundation. At the beginning of their entry into the world battlefield, some of them were already united.

Then, based on these individuals from the same world, they continuously expanded their influence, inevitably leading to rapid development.

As for the Evil Spirit Legion that Bai Ye now faced…

Bai Ye had a certain understanding of them.

The establishment of the Evil Spirit Legion was a response to the oppression of the Hidden Dragon Society.

The Hidden Dragon Society, in its bid to gain an early advantage, had gone too far. Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Then…

A man named Harvey Stanson found his opportunity.

He used the oppression of the Hidden Dragon Society to establish the Evil Spirit Legion, and Harvey was, in some aspects, truly a prodigy.

In Bai Ye’s memory, Harvey Stanson’s personal strength was very ordinary. With the support of the Evil Spirit Legion, he could only barely manage to enter the ranks of the top tier in the later stages of the world battlefield.

At the same time, he relied on a large number of good resources; his personal strength remained consistently mediocre.

Combat talent still existed!

However, Harvey’s talent in command was clearly maxed out.

He managed the Evil Spirit Legion by using a corporate management style, establishing a tiered system and assigning different departments to specific responsibilities.

After initially amassing a large number of followers by exploiting the oppression of the Hidden Dragon Society, he then used his excellent management methods to stably expand the Evil Spirit Legion.

In the early stages, they were naturally incomparable to the Hidden Dragon Society, but after the mid-game of the world battlefield, the Evil Spirit Legion took off.

The Hidden Dragon Society’s development reached a bottleneck, while the Evil Spirit Legion continued to develop steadily, eventually leading to a state of opposition.

And if the Evil Spirit Legion could be considered a steadily improving type…

Then the Flower Street, one of the three major factions, was incredibly legendary.

Bai Ye didn’t know much about Flower Street; in fact, most people knew very little about it. They only knew that the leader of Flower Street was named Hua Zhi Xiao, whom people called Sister Hua.

The rise of Flower Street was a complete mystery.

No one knew how Flower Street developed, yet rumors of it were always heard.

Although Flower Street was one of the three major factions.

However, before the outbreak of the Central War, the acknowledged major factions were actually only the Hidden Dragon Society and the Evil Spirit Legion.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was a two-horse race between them.

As a result…

When the Central War broke out, Flower Street surprised everyone.

Flower Street revealed its terrifying power.

Because, more than half of Flower Street’s members…

Were actually members of the Hidden Dragon Society and the Evil Spirit Legion!

This inevitably brought to mind two words: undercover!

But normal undercover agents were a single person hidden within a group. These guys, Flower Street’s infiltration, actually had at least a quarter of the personnel from the two major factions as their own people.

And those renowned experts, who seemed to have no contact with Flower Street, were discovered during the Central Zone War to be members of Flower Street.

Therefore, Flower Street truly became famous in the final battle, and it was only then that everyone realized Flower Street’s strength was in no way inferior to that of the Hidden Dragon Society and the Evil Spirit Legion.
