Chapter 1728: The Branch in the Human World
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Sword Alliance’s development could be said to be in full swing throughout these few months.
They had exceeded three million official members. Among them were over tens of thousands of Heavenly Gods.
As they did not openly accept registrations like Death Sickle and the Combat God Temple did, the total number of members they had could definitely not be compared with those two organizations.
However, the number of Heavenly Gods they had were on par with the veteran grade-7 organizations such as God Capital and the Combat God Temple.
Regarding the number of Lords and half-step Lords, there was no need to compare that with the rest of the organizations.
The reason being was that they would be a total bully for doing so.
Given that the Huang League and Heavenly God League had entered Royal’s instanced dungeon to obtain a huge amount of resources, the Sword Alliance’s financial crisis was lifted entirely.
The Sword Alliance’s headquarters could finally be considered to have stabilized in the God Territory.
The different collaborations with the other organizations in the God Territory were progressing steadily.
On the other side, the Sword Alliance’s branch in the human world had three Lords guarding it. They were Sword 4, Sword 5, and Sword 6.
One-third of the members from the Heavenly God League were assigned there to assist the three of them in managing the branch’s affairs.
After stabilizing the operations of the branch, the Sword Alliance soon announced the recruitment notice for new members.
A heated discussion broke out in the entire cultivation world among humans as soon as the recruitment notice was published.
Only a small number of top organizations among the humans knew that there was a Sword Alliance founded in the God Territory.
Regarding the information about the Sword Alliance, fewer humans knew about it.
Even fewer people knew that the Sword Alliance’s Chief, Lin Huang, was actually a human.
Meanwhile, in the recruitment notice, they revealed Lin Huang’s human identity directly.
Naturally, that created a stir.
“A human founded a grade-7 organization in the God Territory?! Can you guys use your head before you come up with stories? Will the grade-7 organizations in the God Territory agree to this? What makes you think that a human deserves to found a grade-7 organization in the God Territory?”
“This recruitment notice is so exaggerated. Although the internet we have here is different from the God Territory’s, it’s not impossible for us to find news about what goes on in the God Territory. As long as someone inquires, they can even find out what color Lin Huang’s underwear is.”
“Let’s report this deceiving advertisement. Let’s wait for it to be banned.”
“Let’s sit down and wait for the insiders from the God Territory to expose the truth.”
…
It was a one-sided criticism on the internet. Almost all of the netizens thought Lin Huang’s story was made up and that there was no organization called the Sword Alliance in the God Territory at all.
There were a small number of insiders who exposed information about the Sword Alliance, and the netizens treated them as the internet ghostwriters the Sword Alliance hired to make up stories.
This went on until the organization Hunt among the three Saints and the seven sects reposted the Sword Alliance’s branch’s recruitment notice.
Only a small number of netizens began to suspect that it was real.
After Hunt reposted the notice, within two minutes, the Mysterious Item Pavilion reposted it as well.
Later on, a couple more grade-5 and grade-6 organizations that were collaborating with the Sword Alliance reposted it too.
The trend on the internet began to change.
“What’s happening? Why did Hunt and Mysterious Item Pavilion’s official accounts repost that?!”
“Are they mocking them on purpose?”
…
Almost at the same time, some netizens who inquired about the matter from the God Territory received replies one after the other.
“There really is a new and rising grade-7 organization in the God Territory called the Sword Alliance.”
“The Sword Alliance’s chief is called Lin Huang. He’s a human Lord.”
“The Sword Alliance is the most popular organization in the God Territory. They have over 10,000 heavenly god-level members and they are on par with the remaining veteran grade-7 organizations in the God Territory.”
…
Some people posted screenshots of the God Territory’s replies on the internet.
At first, most of them still did not believe it.
As more and more evidence emerged, soon there were more insiders who revealed the information.
The trend on the internet had finally changed.
“So the Sword Alliance is real, and Lin Huang is also real… So the Sword Alliance we have here is really just a branch?”
“Crap, is this Sword Alliance an imitation?”
“Did they give it the same name just to ride on their coattails?”
“This organization is gutsy. Aren’t they afraid that the real Sword Alliance from the God Territory would send someone over to slap them?”
…
Since they found out about the Sword Alliance’s existence, that Lin Huang was real and a human, most of them still thought that the Sword Alliance in the human world was definitely an imitation.
After all, similar incidents had happened in the human world before.
Lin Huang and Sword 1 were not sure whether to laugh or cry when they learned of the humans’ reactions.
As they discussed it, they used the Sword Alliance’s account in the God Territory to post a thread to verify the authenticity of their branch in the human world.
The netizens finally ceased their suspicions when someone posted a screenshot of the thread on the human world’s internet.
“The Sword Alliance is real, Lin Huang is real, and this branch is real as well. What are you guys waiting for? Let’s apply to join them immediately!”
“I thought we’d see a show of someone being humiliated today. In the end, I’m the one feeling embarrassed.”
“After gossiping the entire day, it turns out everything is real after all.”
“I have a question. Even if this Lin Huang is a Lord, the other grade-7 organizations in the God Territory have Lords too. How could they just allow Lin Huang to found a grade-7 organization in their God Territory?”
“Maybe they can’t beat Lin Huang?” Someone replied to that instantly.
Later on, an insider revealed, “God Capital wanted to stir a ruckus at the Sword Alliance’s upgrade banquet, but they were humiliated on the spot. Also, Lin Huang isn’t the only Lord in the Sword Alliance. There’s someone called Lancelot who is suspected to be a middle-rank Lord.”
As more people revealed information about the Sword Alliance and Lin Huang, everyone was getting more and more curious about them.
Many netizens had learned to use VPN to browse for the Sword Alliance and Lin Huang’s information on all the social media platforms in the God Territory.
The Sword Alliance’s popularity had just passed not long ago on the internet on God Territory’s side.
Many viral threads were found quickly. Among them included threads with detailed notes of the entire process of how the Sword Alliance rose, which were made by some of the organization’s supporters.
After reading those threads, the people in the human world suddenly realized that the news that was exposed earlier was merely the tip of the iceberg.
This Sword Alliance and its chief Lin Huang were much more powerful than what they had imagined.
Very soon, someone had posted a detailed thread with notes on the internet on the humans’ side.
After reading the thread, everyone finally realized that there was really someone of their own kind who had been wandering in the foreign land, the God Territory, and hiding his identity just to avoid being killed. He achieved lord-level with his own ability and overthrew his enemy—the Myriad Tribe Palace, a top grade-6 organization in the God Territory—who had annihilated his native land. Later on, he founded a grade-7 organization—the Sword Alliance—with a group of Protoss friends upon the ruins of the Myriad Tribe Palace.
Most of the human cultivators admired Lin Huang after learning his story, while a small number of them felt regretful.
They thought if Lin Huang teleported to the human world directly back then, then there would be one more grade-7 organization among the humans.
Lin Huang’s story was quickly spread among the humans.
Many cultivators were inspired after reading the story.. They sent their applications to join the Sword Alliance’s branch in the human world.
