I Can Bring In-game Items Out

The Small Knife brought them to his own cave residence, each of them overjoyed.

Because their cultivation methods were still normal, the environment here could multiply their cultivation speed several times over.

Now, Small Knife is at the peak of the Seventh-Layer of Qi Cultivation.

Naturally, it's achieved by using Spirit Stones.

He then went into seclusion to start adapting to the new Cultivation Technique.

While Small Knife was diligently cultivating here, a change had occurred within the World Alliance.

Ever since Small Knife displayed his strength by slaying the Undying,

there had been constant disputes within the Undying Guild.

Now, they directly started to pressure the Holy Sanctuary Guild, baring their Tusks, wanting to merge early, combining into one.

Once the two major forces merge, possessing both the Southern Insect Realm and the Western Wilderness, they would rival the Little Knife Studio. Adding their previous contributions and such, the two giants naturally ranked first, possessing sufficient voice.

The situation was tense, and they were aggressive, determined to succeed.

"Do you really want to do this?" the Grand Elder coldly looked at the emissary from the Undying Guild.

How could the Holy Leader Guild possibly be willing to be devoured?

You haven't even become the Master of the World yet.

This emissary was evidently a powerful figure of the Undying Guild, with a demeanor that was both immortal-like and ancient. In the outside world, he was also an Elder of a Cultivation Sect.

"Cooperation benefits both. Our Undying Guild also doesn't want internal strife, but internal peace is needed to handle external threats. Now, we've been pushed to this step, and there is no other choice. Moreover, this time we came fully prepared. Should you refuse, in no more than a day, the Holy Sanctuary will be destroyed."

Despite his smiling face, he spoke the cruelest words.

"Moreover, that one at the Water Element Sect, distant water cannot quench a nearby thirst. No matter how strong he is, he's just one person. Coming here would be a death sentence."

"Is that so?"

"Activate the Insect Realm."

"Kill!"

The Grand Elder suddenly sneered, flipping his stance.

The Insect Realm swiftly enveloped around.

It was evidently premeditated.

"You're courting death," the strong figure from the Undying Guild roared furiously, controlling the sword to escape.

But it was too late.

Soon, he was enveloped by the Insect Realm.

"I am undying, just wait for the Undying Guild's retaliation," the severely injured powerhouse quickly roared.

This was his confidence.

"Undying? That's already a thing of the past. Your Undying Guild has lost the ability of undying and your numbers are no match for our Holy Sanctuary." Looking at the severely injured, defenseless enemy, the Grand Elder took out the Great Witch Artifact for the final blow.

This thing is truly a rip-off, its asking price is outrageously expensive.

But it's all worth it.

There were no additional conditions, no matter how expensive, the Holy Sanctuary Guild could only be grateful.

If they had produced this Great Witch Artifact, they definitely wouldn't sell it for only Spirit Stones.

The emissary sensed something was amiss, but it was too late.

He was instantly struck down by the Great Witch Artifact and died.

"Luckily, I am undying." Not far from here, a leopard on a tree suddenly burst open, flesh writhing, and a human head emerged from within.

"Just wait for our Undying Guild's revenge. If it weren't for old ties, the Holy Sanctuary Guild would have long been gone," he grumbled viciously.

Struggling to crawl out.

Even though he could resurrect, it still came at a significant cost, which outsiders wouldn't know.

But before he even got an arm out, flesh began to fall off, turning dark.

Poison?

"No!"

He seemed to realize something, terror spreading across his face.

Reviving in another body, but the similar rotting, poisonous condition occurred even faster.

Soon, he truly died.

His face filled with terror and unwillingness.

Such a death for the Undying Guild inflicted damage even on Soul Fragments, more severe than ordinary players' deaths.

All retained Experience was erased, forcing them to start anew.

In a short time, a massive upheaval ensued within the Undying Guild.

This time, without internal discussions or meetings.

The Sect they belonged to directly mobilized all Sect natives, along with all Undying Guild players, and charged towards the Holy Sanctuary Guild's headquarters.

They knew this battle would lead to enormous losses and had some chance of failure.

But by this point, there was no other choice.

Their means of undying was broken, they could only go all out, or be devoured.

The only hope was to overthrow the Holy Sanctuary Guild, conquer the Southern Insect Realm, and unify the two realms for a future and hope.

So, they bet everything on this.

Any hesitation, letting the Holy Sanctuary Guild ally with another side, would spell their end.

The Holy Sanctuary Guild quickly received the intel.

Embarrassed into rage?

Ignoring the threat from indigenous enemies? Actually targeting us player factions.

The Undying Guild had been arrogant too long, so long that they were embarrassed by falling from their pedestal.

"Then submit the application."

A proposal to amend the World Alliance rules was initiated by the Holy Sanctuary Guild, ranked third among the three giants of the World Alliance (Prototype), with the new rule being permanent and unchangeable.

New various rule limitations emerged.

So swift, evidently arranged in advance.

The key to changing the rules was permanence.

The original rules were good, but changeable. The Holy Sanctuary Guild wasn't foolish. They understood once the Undying Guild gained absolute dominance and became the Master of the World, they would definitely change the original rules to devour the Holy Sanctuary Guild.

But they couldn't resist.

The Undying Guild was overly confident, believing their grip on World Alliance dominance was unshakable, allowing no faction to gain modification rights besides the core.

Of course, this also offered the Holy Sanctuary Guild a chance to struggle for dominance, life, and hope.

If from the start the Holy Sanctuary Guild had no way out, there would only be mutual destruction.

Giving a sliver of life now was like boiling a frog in warm water.

Originally, the Holy Sanctuary Guild had no hope, eventually being swallowed in its quest for survival.

But now.

Small Knife had already negotiated thoroughly; the clauses were well understood, so after a brief glance, they confirmed there were no modifications, matching their discussions, and agreed immediately.

The consequence was that once confirmed, solidified, even if they occupied this world, with Little Knife Studio in a dominant position, the rules couldn't be changed.

This was the primary reason that swayed the Holy Sanctuary Guild.

Promises and assurances were far less straightforward and credible than a contract or rule.

With Little Knife Guild being one of the three giants, especially the top-ranked, this agreement, in overwhelming favor, led to the new rules being passed and thereafter fixed and unchangeable.

"Impossible?" The traveling Undying Guild heard the prompt, examined the key rules, and only the words "impossible" emerged.

Because, once solidified, this would mean Little Knife Studio even if victorious could not swallow the other two giants and become the true leader.

Are they crazy? Having a chance at victory, yet sharing the spoils in advance?

The Undying Guild couldn't comprehend this.

They immediately halted.

Understanding and researching the new rules.

Not to mention, the new rules prevented them from easily violating internal strife.

More importantly, it had lost its significance.

No matter the cost, what if they conquered the Southern Insect Realm? Regardless of success or the price.

Ultimately, even if they became the strongest force, occupied this world, and became Master of the World, due to solidified rules and pre-established contracts, they couldn't swallow the other two major forces.

Then, losing the greatest benefit of conquest, is there any need to act?

Of course, since it's not worth the blame, preserving strength became more critical.

Even if they can't achieve dominance in the end, preserving their faction's development makes it unnecessary to risk everything for mutual destruction.

Thus, with renewed hope, discord arose among the higher-ups of the Undying Guild.

Before long, they left in a huff.

The Holy Sanctuary Guild wasn't surprised; as long as there's hope, without being cornered, why risk everything?

Only an odd faction like the Little Knife Studio would forgo dominating player factions even with an advantage.

They found it hard to understand.

Since the rules were set, with the system present and inviolate, it's now up to ability.

The Master of the World, the Holy Sanctuary Guild, plans to compete for dominance.

The data suggests that while the person who came out on top of the public test was powerful and had mysterious native experts under his command, their numbers were still limited.

Hereafter, everything would depend on Contribution, and the Holy Sanctuary Guild still had a fighting chance.

The same was true for the Undying Guild; the fixed rules indeed prevented them from easily breaking internal conflict.

Anyway, because the benefits would not outweigh the costs, preserving strength was more important.

Even if they ultimately couldn't achieve dominance, preserving their strength was more vital.

Yet, internally, the Undying Guild's discontent over the situation inevitably arose.

Very soon, they left in disgrace.

The Holy Sanctuary Guild was not surprised; as long as there's endless hope, and it's not a hopeless situation, why would they fight to the death?

Only a peculiar force like the Little Knife Guild would give up dominating, even with an advantage.

The World Alliance, the Holy Sanctuary Guild intended to contest as well.

According to their data, although the first to cultivate publicly was powerful and had mysterious native experts with him, ultimately, their numbers were limited.

Hereafter, reliant on Contribution, the Holy Sanctuary Guild still had the strength to compete.

The Undying Guild was the same way; the hardened rule made defying internal struggles not easy.

Thus, due to diminishing returns, conserving strength was a priority.

The key to changing rules is permanence.

The original rules were adequate, but they could indeed be amended. The Holy Sanctuary Guild wasn't foolish, understanding that once the Undying Guild seized absolute control and became Master of the World, they would inevitably change the original rules and swallow the Holy Sanctuary Guild.

But they lack the power to resist.

The Undying Guild was too confident, thinking their hold on the World Alliance's leading role was unshakeable. Without a core, no power could obtain the right to amend.

Of course, this also provided the Holy Sanctuary Guild room to struggle for leadership, as a chance at existence and hope.

Had they forced the Holy Sanctuary Guild into a dead end from the beginning, it would have been a fight to the death.

Now, there's a glimmer of hope, a warm water frog boil.
