Razor introduced Demon Elephant Zaka and Scarlet North Star to Azure Sea and Heaven as experts capable of securing global tournament slots. Azure Sea and Heaven dismissed the proposal skeptically, insisting on proof of their Pioneer qualifications first, prompting Razor to leave. Kuangxing then informed Azure that his own slot was secured, along with over five thousand legion members. Azure reflected on his defeat by Descent of High Martial's Bone Forging Realm players and the game's untapped potential, as conglomerates vied for the five million new slots. The thirty-six-hour update concluded with five million players logging in simultaneously.

Mist Mountain Region, Red Moon City.

Red Moon City, already bustling, grew even more overcrowded with the arrival of five million players. Newcomers diving into Descent of High Martial for the first time acted like wide-eyed kids, stunned by how lifelike every detail of the game seemed.

From the NPCs to the city's diverse structures, players felt transported to an alien metropolis where each inhabitant led their own existence. Every building served a purpose, streets brimmed with endless shops, and vehicles zipped along roads while flying cars soared overhead. Some folks even hovered through the air—pure sci-fi wonder.

"Is this Descent of High Martial?"

"This is incredible; it feels exactly like the real world, with zero differences. No surprise those who snagged spots remain logged in nonstop, refusing to quit."

"Earn Points! Earn Points! I'll snag my own skyscraper here, employ NPCs to run it, and bask in a worry-free existence in this realm."

"I aim to hit Heavenly Human Realm mastery, grab a Sky Giant Ship, and host my real-world buddies for endless fun. Way flashier than any mansion or yacht out there."

Right now, fresh entrants and big guild members alike buzzed with excitement like goblins unearthing a fresh land, realizing Descent of High Martial surpassed their wildest dreams.

Back home, folks lead mundane lives where climbing the ladder proves brutally tough. Here, as players, they simply cultivate and hone abilities to claim opulent lifestyles and outlive their real-world selves—pure bliss.

As rookies hustled through quests or training sessions, seasoned players who joined alongside them gazed on in awe.

"Times have really shifted. In our era, we scraped by in shabby Martial Arts Halls without even Basic Martial Techniques available—we just dug holes daily. Today, newbies roam the full map freely, snapping up potent Martial Arts Techniques via Points. Points come easier too, thanks to street-filling NPCs; lend them a hand at work, and they pile up fast," Twilight of the Gods observed, eyeing the newbie-packed thoroughfares.

We veterans erected every Martial Arts Hall ourselves, stone by stone. Our digs were so wretched even rats would turn up their noses. Yet now, street-side opulence awaits—with enough Points, snag a presidential suite complete with NPC attendants. Sheer delight.

Numerous old-timers nodded along. New player digs vastly outshine what they endured. Securing a weapon back then meant risking it all. Their views? Crumbling Martial Arts Halls and ramshackle lanes.

Luxe malls beckon for browsing, stunning NPCs catch the eye. Even casual explorers ticking off daily mining gigs live better than countless real-world normies.

"No need for regrets," Luo Wushang stated coolly. "Sure, newbies enjoy superior setups now, but shining among them is tougher. Once, a plain Martial Artist or mere Advanced Apprentice stood out as elite. Today, without Bone Forging Realm strength, joining events is a stretch, forget cultivation resources. Plus, this player surge guarantees more top talents. Slack off, and these fresh faces will overtake you, claiming your resource haul."

Luo Wushang's reminder snapped veterans to attention.

Prime in-game resources remain scarce. Past small crowds and expansive maps meant no sharing woes. Now, with numbers ballooned several-fold and set to climb higher, laziness invites overtake by hotshot geniuses and pros. This game's hyper-realistic—no mindless mob-grinding to power up. True growth demands insight and grind.

Ordinary players need days to grasp a martial art, but geniuses nail it in hours. Factor in big-money backing, funnel a bit of cash and gear, and elites rocket ahead.

Soon, high-end map spoils might elude vets of middling or slightly better talent.

Yet Luo Wushang wasted no time on reflection, issuing commands: "Stick to the plan—Bone Forging Realm members lead squads. Scout high-potential newbies; tap base supplies for them. They'll join your squads. Hit Bone Forging Realm, and they're full Defense Corps. Blood Coagulation Realm folks, trail me into battle."

"Yes!"

Celestial Might's crew sprang into motion.

This player boom handed Celestial Might perfect expansion fuel. Solo play nets meager hauls; teams dominate for fat rewards, vital for resource holds and city sieges needing rotating masses.

Not only Celestial Might stirred—every top squad hustled to enlist new blood, fold them in, and dispatch Bone Forging Realm leads for resource hunts and drills.
