Cursed Immortality

Outside the trial plain, the Epic Plains were not as peaceful as they used to be after the attack on the Epic Star Server and the star network's absence. The biggest problem that occurred because of this was the lack of Currency, Zodiac Credit!

The entire epic alive plains relied on the ZC to exchange for goods and personal exchange, and all that happened on the star network was because ZC had no material form. 

This brought forth a huge headache and economic disaster for everyone in the epic alive plains, and every business, whether it was from the three hegemonies or private, was shut off. 

The second problem was naturally the lack of communication, and any report or news had to be delivered physically through letters. It was like the advanced civilization had returned to its medieval state. 

Most effective because of this situation were naturally the three hegemonies because they controlled the entire epic alive plains with the help of Star Network, and because of its existence, no one could go against them or undermine their authority. 

The most absurd part was this all happened on the same day when the trial plain was descended, and the mighty All Alive Alliance (AAA) was forced to change their entire plan. 

Because of this exact reason, the AAA was forced to send only 30% of their vanguard forces to the trial plains that they had initially prepared and decided to wait for the star network recovery. They also made this decision on the base of the trial plains that had just descended. 

However, this wasn't even the start of epic plains troubles. Just four days after the star network went down, nuclear attacks started to occur all over the epic alive plains and in the large level cities nonetheless, and this process continued for two straight days.

The entire epic plains were in turmoil as people were dying left and right, and no place was safe anymore.

It was also then that people took notice of the true terror of nuclear weapons. Radiation started to spread all over the epic alive plains. Species under rare rank started to die, while rare species showed strange symptoms of unknown illnesses. 

Even the extraordinary species were affected by the fast spread of radiation. Only the epic-rank species were unaffected. Still, it didn't mean the radiation didn't affect them in other ways. 

When the food and water supply started to get affected, the high-level figures finally understood the gravity of the situation, and then on the seventh day, the alive epic plains experienced their first nuclear winter!

Death, misery, and despair slowly grip the hearts of living beings who were once living in peace. Even those high and mighty figures experience the meaning of true horror. 

All of this was happening because of one person, the Faceless Ancient!

Only now, everyone truly understands why the three hegemonies wanted to get rid of Faceless Ancient. However, some believed that it was their hunger for power that brought this disaster upon everyone. 

But the Faceless Ancient becomes a terrifying devil in everyone's heart who can bring the destruction of entire epic plains. In fact, many believed that the attack on Star Network was also Faceless Ancient's doing. The destruction had already begun, and three hegemonies were now helpless! 

In a sense, the Faceless Ancient was now even more infamous than the legendary Vile Witch! 

As if this wasn't enough, at the start of the second week after the epic star server destruction, news from all over the epic plains started to flood into the temporary AAA headquarters where the three leaders were staying and trying to get a hold of the chaotic situation. 

The news turned out to be very grave. High-ranking figures of three hegemonies and powerful species all over the epic alive plains were started to get assassinated. This started another upheaval, and this was also the final straw that broke the camel's back. 

People from all over the epic plains started to band together and marched towards the AAA headquarters, which were close to the trial plains, and decided to demand justice from the three hegemonies who were now silent and helpless.

Since they can't find the original culprits for their misery, they decide to find the ones who could possibly bring an end to it. 

While the epic plains were becoming more and more chaotic and moving towards destruction, on the 29th day after the epic trial plain descended, AAA's first Alliance Leader, Chairman Gunnar, instantly called for an emergency meeting between high-level figures of AAA, including the 2nd and 3rd Alliance Leaders. 

This naturally made everyone surprised because this giant didn't even react to the current situation of the epic plains, so what caused him to react so violently all of a sudden? 

They even suspect that Faceless Ancient has sent some threat to them to finish them off, so they quickly gather within an hour since they were all living in AAA headquarters, which was made virtually impenetrable by combining three hegemonies resources. 

It was probably the safest place in the entire epic plains at that moment, and to enter there, one needed a high-level clearance and had to undergo many security checks. 

At this moment, in a massive room, all the high-level figures of the three hegemonies were gathered together. The atmosphere was extremely grave because they were all aware of the current situation of the epic plains and the incoming mob, which was increasing day by day. 

Sitting at the very front were Lucy and Nelsen, while only Gunnar's giant seats were empty. Both of them were one of the sharpest minds in the epic plains and always appeared calm. 

Yet today, those were looking extremely agitated, as if they were sitting on thin ice. Even they didn't know why Gunnar suddenly called this meeting, but they sure guessed from his voice that it wasn't something good. 

At this moment, the door opened. Gunnar, wearing an imposing crimson armor, entered, and he was releasing an intense murderous aura like a vicious wolf. Everyone felt that aura and their expression went pale, and they quickly lowered their head with trepidation. They all could tell that Gunnar was extremely furious for some reason right now. 

Even Lucy and Nelsen hadn't seen Gunnar this furious before, and they both had known him for hundreds of years now. 

Gunnar stood in front of his seat and coldly stated while his murderous aura intensified even more, "I found the whereabouts of Faceless Ancient!"
