Chapter 458

Gu Ding, who did not use Burning Sky, was in a sorry state when fighting the Fallen Feather Beast. After all, the Fallen Feather Beast was still a divine beast in its infancy. The combat skills it acquired from its inherited memories were definitely not something other beasts could compare to. Moreover, its Infinite Melting Flames was also very effective against Gu Ding, so for Gu Ding, this kind of opponent was hard to come by.

After more than an hour, Gu Ding finally managed to grind a Fallen Feather Beast to death. This time, he did not use Burning Sky. Instead, he relied on pure brute force. However, the battle was extremely dangerous. He was in danger several times and was almost killed. After an hour, he was a little exhausted. He stepped back from the steps, swallowed a bottle of energy supplement, and began to recover. At the same time, he began to recall his battle just now, looking for the shortcomings he had shown in the battle. Fighting with a similarly powerful existence was the best way to discover one's shortcomings.

More than an hour's delay had caused Gu Ding to fall out of the top twenty on the leaderboard, falling to the twenty-first place.

Everyone also noticed that Fu Tu's ranking had also dropped by one place to the twentieth. His points rose by 4,000 points each time, but it only rose once in about half an hour, which made many people secretly exclaim that it was abnormal.

Therefore, the most eye-catching thing about this leaderboard was not the skyrocketing points of the top few, but the changes in points of the twentieth and twenty-first people. This kind of thing was very rare because, under normal circumstances, the most eye-catching people on any leaderboard would be the top few. However, in this virtual world, because of the existence of Gu Ding and Futu, the two outliers, everyone's attention was focused on them.

Gu Ding did not notice the change in Fu Tu's points. He had not even opened the leaderboard since he set foot in the five-star extreme deity area. He also did not know that Lilliath had now become the first place, and that Lilliath's points were far ahead of Karlot, who was in second place. Neptune did not tell Gu Ding about these things because he was busy deciphering the line structure of this Virtual World and preparing to break the True God Prohibition. For him, as long as Gu Ding did not fall out of the top thousand, there was nothing to worry about.

Half a day had passed in the virtual world. Many people who were not strong enough had been eliminated. They could not survive in such a harsh environment, let alone hunt virtual creatures. Of the 15.88 million participants, only less than 11 million were left. In just half a day, nearly one-third of them had been eliminated.

Most of the remaining people had figured out the environment, survived, and started to hunt virtual creatures for points. Among them were Fath and Mikko from the gravity zone.

Under Neptune's guidance, the two of them finally gathered together and began to work together to hunt. Mi Ke 'er was in charge of arranging the formation, while Faust was in charge of attracting the beasts. As a matter of fact, this kind of hunting speed was indeed not slow. The two of them also entered the intermediate deity region from the lesser deity region and stopped at the five-star intermediate deity region. The two of them divided the points equally, but even so, they both made it into the top 1,000, ranked 987th and 988th respectively. Moreover, their rankings were also steadily rising.

Naturally, they also noticed the changes in the rankings.

"Gu Ding is amazing. He has already killed two five-star extreme deity virtual creatures." Fath looked at the changes in Gu Ding's points on the rankings with some envy. Then, he saw Futu who was ranked ahead of Gu Ding. "That guy called Futu is also very strong. He has already hunted down eight four-star extreme deity virtual creatures."

"The two of them can be said to be the strongest demigods in the human world in this era. The strongest demigods in the past could at most kill three-star extreme deities." Mi Ke was very concerned about a lot of information in the Cosmic Sea, including the Demigod Monster Ranking that he had always looked forward to. He clearly remembered the ranking of every Demigod Monster Ranking in this era, and he had also collected information about those powerhouses. "It's really hard to imagine how powerful Brother Gu Ding will be when he becomes a True God."

"True God, I hope Efu can successfully pass through the True God Tribulation." Fath looked up at the sky. When it came to this issue, he was vaguely worried about the old butler Efu. He had heard countless legends describing the horrors of the True God Tribulation, and Efu had always said that his chances of passing through the True God Tribulation were not high. The last time he saved his parents, his soul was damaged. Even if he really got the help of medicine to repair it, it was impossible to repair it completely.

In the Frost Zone, Lilliath was doing very well. She was sitting on the head of a ten-thousand-meter-long ice dragon. It was a Two-star Supreme Deity powerhouse, and she was controlling it with her Ocular Secret Skill. Around her were a dozen or so Icicle Witches whose bodies were entirely blue. These Icicle Witches were One-star Extreme Deities, and they were extremely adept at area-of-effect attacks. With a flick of their fingers, a certain area would be completely frozen. This made her hunting speed in the five-star upper deity area several times faster than before. This was also why the gap between her and Karlot's points was widening.

In the Frost Zone, there were also a few top powerhouses who saw Lilliath's momentum and stayed far away, afraid that they would be affected by her plunder. They could handle five-star upper deities, but if they encountered a one-star extreme deity, even if there was only one, they would not be able to match it, let alone Lilliath's monster army.

After all, in this world, it was also possible to kill humans and take all their points. Although Gu Ding's crew had a good reputation on Skynet, they were still Interstellar Pirates, and Lilliath was also a member of this crew. No one knew if she would take the initiative to plunder. As top powerhouses, although most people did not know what it meant to be in the top thousand, no one was willing to be eliminated. Therefore, avoiding Lilliath was the most appropriate choice.

In the purple thunder zone, Dockett stood on a spear as dozens of flying daggers easily penetrated the bodies of the five-star upper deities. The spear under his feet was actually just a three-star god weapon with no attack power. He stood on it to practice Object Manipulation Flight. Although his flying speed was not as fast as his running speed, he could get a better view from a high place, which increased his hunting speed a lot. Moreover, standing on the spear also made him look more heroic. At least, that was what he thought.

In this area, he was practically invincible. All of the Five-star Higher Deities were pierced and killed with a single strike. Some of them didn't even notice his existence at all.

However, according to Neptune, when the official battle began, the other members should try to hide their strength as much as possible. There was no need to show all their strength, so he did not step into the extreme deity zone. However, what Gu Ding wanted to do was completely different. He wanted to use his powerful strength to intimidate everyone.

Such a strategy would make those who wanted to attack Gu Ding's crew members think about whether they could withstand Gu Ding's anger. Those who really attacked Gu Ding's crew members would be met with a terrifying counterattack that erupted with all their strength.

In the strong wind zone, Ayesha's long hair fluttered in the wind. After discovering a virtual biological community, she rushed in with her big ax. With a swing of the blood-red ax, a red ripple spread out and instantly penetrated the bodies of the creatures. In the next moment, the virtual creatures' bodies automatically separated and began to disintegrate. Ayesha's ax directly cut more than twenty five-star upper deity virtual creatures in half at the waist.

After the attack, Ayesha did not stop. She ran directly toward the next red dot on the map. It was a map of the virtual life divisions that Neptune had marked for them. Each red dot represented a community. Ayesha could not remember how many communities she had destroyed, but she could clearly feel that her ax technique was getting more and more proficient, and the integration with the concept of ax was getting closer.

She also wanted to enter the extreme deity zone and fight stronger virtual lives, but she thought of Neptune's strategy and gave up. She also knew that this was just the beginning. The battles would get crueler every day, and sooner or later, she would encounter powerful opponents with the strength of an extreme deity.

In this virtual world, many people showed their own survival strategies.

Gu Ding and Futu, for example, directly displayed their super strength that was enough to suppress all powerhouses, so that no one would covet them.

People like Karlot, Phaser, and Dockett belonged to the top powerhouses who hid their strength. They clearly had the combat power to kill an extreme deity, but they refused to step into the extreme deity zone because they knew that their strength was not as unique as Gu Ding and Futu's. They knew that there were existences in this world that could rival them, so they could not let their enemies know their trump cards.

There were also powerhouses who were second only to the top level who chose to keep a low profile. Many of them were powerhouses who were already ranked on the Demigod Monster Ranking, but they did not perform very conspicuously. Instead, they chose to hang far away in inconspicuous places hundreds of places on the ranking, so that people would ignore their existence, and only hope to explode at the critical moment.

Most of them were like Faust and Mi Coco, who cooperated to survive. Their individual combat power was on the weak side. In order to obtain more points, they could only find people to cooperate with, earn points together, and then distribute them according to various ratios. Of course, Faust and Mi Coco were still relatively strong among such people. Many of these cooperative teams did not have the strength of a Medium Deity.

There were also a very small number of lone wolves who did not trust others. They chose to carefully find a safe place to survive, and then slowly kill virtual lives to accumulate points. These people were not very strong, and their points were not high, but they also survived in their own way.

All kinds of different survival methods were soon put to the test, because the first day passed quickly. Once the second day arrived, everyone would be randomly transported to a new environment to undergo a new test …
