Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 586: Chaos Alliance

Within the vast expanse of Taihao Chaos, a bridge shimmering with rainbow hues stretched forth, establishing a connection.

Su Yuan observed it for a time, yet the fundamental principles behind its existence remained elusive.

Before he could even begin to grasp the basic structure of this prismatic bridge, a consciousness reached out, probing from the void of Nothingness.

Su Yuan turned his gaze in that direction and was instantly taken aback.

Before his very eyes, countless Chaos realms were meticulously arranged in sequence, linked by these ethereal rainbow bridges, forming an expansive, intricate network of Chaos.

Cultivators could be seen traversing these bridges, navigating the Nothingness, their paths leading towards unexplored territories.

Taihao Chaos soon came to a halt, settling in a position near the heart of this immense "Chaos Net."

Upon the rainbow bridges, cultivators who had not yet attained the Dominator realm were incapable of perceiving Su Yuan and his companions within the Nothingness.

However, on the designated transfer station realms, numerous figures of Chaos Dominators materialized, offering amiable nods in their direction.

Within the scope of his perception, well over a thousand Chaos realms were already accounted for, and it was evident that far more lay beyond, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Su Yuan also let out a sigh, his voice laced with wonder, "The Nothingness is devoid of both space and time. The probability of a single Chaos realm emerging is infinitesimally small, akin to the difference between zero and one. Yet, once one comes into being, an abundance of others can follow!"

Hearing this profound observation, Zhou Hao nodded in agreement, his amazement growing.

Nearby, an elder arrived with swiftness, borne upon a stream of rainbow-colored light.

He offered a slight bow to their assembled group.

"I am merely an Elder of the Chaos Alliance, my name is Jiang Gong. My duties involve overseeing the integration of newly formed Chaos realms into our Alliance. You all undoubtedly possess numerous inquiries, and I am here to address them. Might I request that you select a spokesperson?"

Su Yuan and the others exchanged meaningful glances.

The Che Chi Old Man and the others deferred to the Taixuan Dominator, seemingly indicating their wish for him to represent Taihao Chaos.

The Taixuan Dominator, however, turned his attention to Su Yuan, transmitting a message, "Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, would you perhaps consider serving as our representative?"

Su Yuan shrugged lightly, replying, "I have only recently ascended to the Chaos Dominator realm; my strength is still somewhat lacking. You, having reached this level much earlier, would surely be the more suitable choice!"

Perceiving Su Yuan's reluctance, the Taixuan Dominator stepped forward, announcing, "My Daoist title is Taixuan. I shall tentatively assume the role of representative!"

Jiang Gong offered a warm smile, remarking, "The atmosphere within your Chaos realm is quite harmonious, to have confirmed a representative so swiftly. Some Chaos realms succumb to fierce internal conflict, marked by deep-seated animosities."

His experience allowed him to discern instantly the positive and cooperative spirit present in this new Chaos realm.

The Taixuan Dominator clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Jiang Gong. We have only just arrived and are uncertain of our next steps. Could you elaborate on the general circumstances here?"

Jiang Gong chuckled softly and replied, "The general situation is precisely as detailed within the information provided on the rainbow bridge earlier. Each Chaos realm, upon reaching a certain stage of development, invariably draws the attention of the Scavengers, who seek to purge them. They represent the primary threat to all Chaos. Our purpose in uniting is to collectively oppose these Scavengers!"

He gestured towards their current location, stating, "This sector constitutes the Third Frontline, comprised of ten million substantial Chaos realms that have recently joined our cause. Each individual Chaos realm boasts upwards of ten Chaos Dominators, bringing the total to one hundred million Dominators."

"This area is considered a rearward zone. Your Chaos realm will henceforth receive the protection afforded by the Alliance. This is one of the primary benefits. Your obligation is to dispatch warriors and Dominators to the forefront of the battlelines to contend with the Scavengers. In doing so, you can accumulate merit points, which may be exchanged for valuable resources."

"Ah, and occasionally, Scavengers may breach this defense and infiltrate these areas, requiring your assistance in repelling them!"

Following this, Jiang Gong proceeded to elaborate on various specific details to the assembled group.

Su Yuan's comprehension of the prevailing conditions gradually sharpened.

To put it plainly, it was a system where exceptionally powerful Chaos realms, facing overwhelming pressure from the Scavengers, had enlisted the aid of other Chaos realms. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Taixuan Dominator inquired with a solemn expression, "Might I ask if there is any risk to life involved?"

Jiang Gong's smile vanished, his expression turning serious. "Naturally, there are. The Scavengers possess the ability to annihilate and reset all existence. Even Chaos Dominators face the peril of annihilation! Consequently, the rewards reaped from engaging in battle are also immense. For every battle cycle you participate in, an appearance fee of ten million Chaos Jades is directly awarded. Furthermore, for each Dominator-level Scavenger you dispatch, you gain at least ten billion Chaos Jades worth of merit points, which can be exchanged for incredibly precious treasures!"

Upon hearing these staggering figures, the Taixuan Dominator was instantly enticed. Slaying one bounty yielding ten billion Chaos Jades? Wouldn't that mean one's strength could surge at an astonishing rate!

And this was merely the minimum compensation!

Perceiving their tempted states, Jiang Gong offered a subtle smile. It was only when he observed the composed Su Yuan that a hint of surprise flickered across his features.

He could discern that, among this contingent, Su Yuan stood out as the most exceptional.

"This is the fundamental overview. For each participation in a battle, your Chaos realm must field at least five Chaos Dominators, or half of its total Chaos Dominators. You may convene to decide on the initial contingent to be dispatched. Ah, yes, your Chaos realm's identification number is 30010086. The collective merit points accumulated by all of you will be ranked. Those achieving top positions on the ranking will also receive accolades, and this ranking serves as the determinant for advancement to higher-tier frontline sectors."

Having concluded his explanation, Jiang Gong proceeded to hand out a Chaos Alliance Token to each individual present. Through this token, they would gain access to real-time intelligence from the front lines.

Su Yuan idly manipulated the Chaos Alliance Token in his grasp and promptly navigated to the Alliance's merit point exchange platform. Displayed before him were an extensive array of Chaos Dominator Artifacts, Dominator-grade treasures, and even diverse inherited Daoist techniques—essentially, anything one could conceive of!

This was the very incentive that would drive individuals like them to eagerly participate in the battles.

He then turned his attention to the merit points ranking board.

Their own Chaos realm was situated at the absolute nadir of the standings, boasting not a single merit point, and ranked somewhere beyond the ten million mark.

Subsequently, he accessed the communication interface integrated within the token.

Within it, he found an internal channel designated for their specific Chaos realm, a channel for friends, a broad frontline communication channel, and others.

He observed a torrent of messages flooding the frontline channel.

[Omniscient Heavenly Lord]: "A new Chaos realm has joined the Alliance. Welcome, fellow Daoists from the newly arrived Chaos realm, to our Alliance family!"

[Great Treasure]: "Seeking to purchase Chaos Yulan Crystals via online transaction. Bartering is an option. Inquire for details if you possess them!"

[Fearless Battle Squad]: "The Fearless Battle Squad is actively recruiting new members. Requirements: a minimum of 10% comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao's true essence, possession of at least one Chaos Dominator Artifact. Preference given to individuals wielding area-control type treasures. Compensation is exceptionally high. Interested parties, please discuss privately."

[Azure Cloud Master]: "Skilled in the cultivation of quasi-Dominator realm cultivators and formidable war beasts. Possesses the capability to nurture Dominator-level powerhouses. Those interested, kindly send a private message!"

[Ju Li]: "Which scoundrel dared to plot against me? Do not let me discover your identity, or you shall face severe retribution!"

This deluge of messages evoked in Su Yuan a sensation akin to browsing the internet back in the mortal world.

However, Su Yuan was keenly aware that every individual posting was a genuine Chaos Dominator, not to be taken lightly.

He commenced contemplating the most effective strategies for development within this Chaos Alliance.
