"No news about your brother yet?"

At the dinner table, Luo's mother just took a few bites and then put down her chopsticks and asked.

Opposite her are her daughter Luo Qiu, whose temperament is completely different from before she became a replacement, and her husband, who has gone from a slightly fatter figure to normal.

Now, three years have passed since the ‘open beta day’.

Aquamarine Star and Gray Territory have both undergone earth-shaking changes.

Of course, the term 'open beta day' is actually a folk joke. The time point when the first batch of wearers will be launched is called the open beta of the super-dimensional soul, and the previous soul wearers are naturally the so-called internal beta bosses.

Already.

In the past three years, as the number of Aquablue Star replacements has increased, it has grown at a constant rate.

The three empires that could originally turn a blind eye finally could no longer sit back and watch.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that when the number of replacements reaches a certain critical point, they can no longer be as 'honest and obedient' as before.

There are even many Displacers who are themselves anarchists and are unwilling to be bound by the seven major political systems before they gain strength.

After becoming a replacement, he acted more and more unscrupulously.

Therefore, the situation in both the Gray Domain and Aqua Blue Star is developing in a more chaotic direction, and the situation in Gray Domain is actually more serious than that of Aqua Blue Star.

Some displacers who are unwilling to be left alone will even cooperate with the underground forces of the three empires and even the remnants of the evil gods to stir up unrest everywhere.

The seven major political bodies originally thought about establishing a fourth empire in the Gray Realm, and also had some discussions with the three major empires. However, as these lone wolf replacements added fuel to the fire, more and more conflicts were caused.

When mutual trust does not exist, there is naturally nothing left to talk about.

In the second year after the 'Public Beta Day', the conflict between the two sides finally moved from the bottom of the table to the table. The most radical Red Flame Empire even openly issued a wanted order for the replacement!

Anyone who has not registered their detailed identity in the Red Flame Empire and has not obtained the ‘Red Flame Seal’ can be arrested!

Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!

As for what the 'Red Flame Seal' is, to put it bluntly, it means using a soldering iron to burn a red flame mark right below the neck, which is essentially a slave mark.

This almost humiliating method naturally triggered a large-scale backlash, but the Red Flame Empire didn't care at all.

After a large number of displacers died, the remaining displacers finally accepted this rule in humiliation, and some of the displacers eventually fled to the other two empires, as well as areas outside the sphere of influence of the three empires.

However, although the Empire of Storms and the Titan Empire did not go as far as the Red Flame Empire because their royal families had certain connections with the Displacers, the radical voices within the empires were also mainstream.

Under such general trends, even the royal family will not act arbitrarily.

Just like the Empire of Storms, the current Emperor Yeager is said to have had an old relationship with the Displacer back then.

But as the leader of a country, he cannot be swayed by some personal relationships in the past. The most important thing to him is always the interests of the empire.

Therefore, even the Displacers in the Empire of Storms still have difficult living conditions.

These three years were also the three years with the most tragic casualties on Aqua Blue Star.

Aquamarine originally had a population of more than three billion, but as one-tenth of the people gradually became replacements, the original order had long since disappeared, and chaos, war, and confrontation... were all inevitable.

Appear.

The population of more than three billion has dropped sharply to less than one billion in just a few years. Even the Great Inflammation, which was relatively least affected, was not immune.

Since Luo Qiu became the replacement in the Luo family, Luo's father and Luo's mother have also experienced this change one after another.

Fortunately, Luo Qiu is now at the silver level, and he has connections with Twilight Village. Although he cannot change the situation, he can still protect himself.

It is worth mentioning that as the number of replacers increases day by day, the gray domain itself has actually undergone some changes.

Some people who were originally stuck in the silver level for many years have actually easily crossed that threshold. It is easier for the low-level gold to break through the mid-level gold, and the number of high-level gold that was once rare in a century has also continued to increase.

To sum it up, breakthroughs become easier and easier.

It's as if the shackles of the entire world have been unlocked, making it easier for everyone to advance, and this naturally brings more casualties.

As for why Luo's mother suddenly asked Luo Qiu about Rorschach, it was mainly because Rorschach had not appeared for almost three years.

Although Luo's mother also learned from Luo Qiu that her son was already the top replacement, so he should be fine.

But not seeing each other for three years still made her very worried.

"I asked Sister Xueqi when she came back last time. My brother is okay. It's just that he encountered a little accident and he can't come back for the time being." Luo Qiu said.

"But……"

"It's okay, I told you it's okay, so don't ask. There's no point in embarrassing Xiaoqiu about this kind of thing." Luo's father interrupted.

"Do you think I'm as heartless as you? My son hasn't called back for three years and I'm worried about what's going on. How can I be called a embarrassment?" Luo's mother said dissatisfied.

As Luo's father interrupted, Luo's mother's attention also shifted to her husband, and she finally stopped asking questions about Rorschach.

Seeing this, Luo Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she didn't completely tell the truth to Luo's mother, because Su Xueqi also left the Gray Realm a year ago and went to the world outside the [Grey Tower].

She actually doesn't know Rorschach's condition at all now.

Just as she was complaining in her heart, the familiar voice of the superdimensional spirit sounded in her ears again:

"The final replacement is about to begin, and Aqua Blue Star and Gray Domain are about to merge. After this replacement, there will be no next replacement."

"The Battle of Hundred Domains is about to begin. This is a battle of civilizations and also a battle of individuals!"

"The winner lives, the loser dies!"

"The final survivor will receive supreme glory and the opportunity to evolve!"

This voice made Luo Qiu's face change drastically!

However, what she didn't know was that she and the other displacers on Planet Aqua were not the only ones hearing the voice at this time.

Those displacers who had not returned to Aquamarine, or even gone outside the gray realm, also heard this voice.

…

"I'll take it for granted, the Battle of Hundred Domains?"

After Jin Kela heard the voice of the superdimensional spirit, he couldn't help but let out a low cry!

"Don't be surprised all day long. You are already a wizard's apprentice and you are still so frizzy." The middle-aged man beside him said helplessly.

This middle-aged man's name is Gustave Rodrigo, the former president of the Demon Spirit Society, the patriarch of the Rodrigo family, and the father of Jin Kela.

Today, he is already one of the top high-level wizard apprentices in [Grey Tower Academy], and is regarded as one of the most promising candidates to be promoted to Morning Star!

You know, from the time Aquablue Star started the replacement to now, less than twenty years have passed in total.

Gustav has gone from an ordinary person to where he is today in twenty years.

This kind of promotion speed is rare even in [Gray Tower Academy].

However, Gustave vaguely felt that the overall promotion speed of the replacers was much faster than that of others, and it became faster and faster as they went back, as if they had been affected by some kind of fate.

Generally favored.

But he was not very happy because he understood that there is no free lunch in this world.

Since the identity of the Displacer brings such advantages, there must be a price in the end, so he is not surprised at all by the reminder just now.

Because he had already foreseen this day coming.

In fact, other top replacements are also the same and have been mentally prepared for this.

"Hurry up and become stronger. This will be our last chance. I will try to break through the Morning Star before the Battle of Hundred Realms. If you fail, you will have to rely on yourself from now on." Gustave looked at

He said to his son.

The old butler Peter on the side said quickly: "No, sir, if you can't succeed, no one on Aqua Blue Star can succeed."

"Old Pete often talks nonsense, but this time I agree with him. Dad, don't let me down. I'm still waiting to bite you for the rest of my life!" Jin Kela said with a smile on his face.

"You worthless thing, get out of here and practice!" Gustave was furious and drove Jin Kela out.

…

Gray Tower Continent, inside the [Omniscient Tower].

"Battle of Hundred Realms? Tsk, I knew this day would come." The silver-haired young man who was borrowing books in the library also heard the prompt.

He closed the book he had just read halfway, took it to the door of the library, and said to the old man wearing a pair of toad glasses at the counter: "Uncle Kraft, please record it for me and borrow this book."

This is it."

Kafu, the old man with the toad mirror, did not record it for him immediately. Instead, he looked at the little bloody toad squatting on his shoulder and said:

"Don't you really think about selling this little guy to me? I promise you won't suffer a loss in terms of price. I really like it."

"Quack!!"

The little bloody toad shouted angrily at the old man Kafu, sounding like he was telling him to get lost.

"Hahahahaha, this little guy has quite a temper. The more I look at him, the more I like him." Kafu, the old man with the toad mirror, laughed.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Kraft, Xiao Gu is my partner and I won't sell it." The silver-haired young man shook his head apologetically.
