Chapter 44: The Top Ten Guilds

Wu Shaochen took off his helmet, ordered some takeout, and then started browsing the forum to see if there were any posts that caught his interest. When he opened the forum, the first post wasn’t about him. Instead, it was about the various major guilds, posted by a user with the ID “Wangyou Baixiaosheng.”

“The Top Ten Most Powerful Guilds in the Gaming World, All Moving to ‘Divine Decree'”—Wu Shaochen clicked it with some curiosity.

In previous online games, there were many powerful guilds, but the top ten guilds were widely recognized as the strongest. Each of them had once dominated a major online game, and now that they were all moving into Divine Decree, what kind of sparks would fly? People were undoubtedly eager to see. Below, I will share the information I’ve gathered about these top guilds.

• Heavenly Myth: Once ruled several online games, with the highest number of members reaching 500,000. Their guild base is in Baize City. Guild leader “Shen Xian”: Level 14 Warrior.
• Dream Guild: A female-only guild, with a maximum of 300,000 members. Despite being all female players, they are incredibly powerful. Their guild base is in Qiushui City. Guild leader “Dreamlight Dance” was once the strongest mage but now holds the title of the strongest priest. It’s believed that she chose the priest class due to her natural talents.
• Hell Gate: Mostly composed of assassins, with a maximum of 200,000 members. Their guild base is in Mobei City. Guild leader “Hell Messenger”: Level 14 Assassin. It’s rumored that he holds a deep grudge against the first assassin, “Chen Feng,” and has vowed to defeat him and change his class.
• Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon: A long-established guild with a great reputation, known for its dominance in several games, but they do not bully solo players. Their guild base is in Fengyong City. Guild leader “Wind Moon No Feelings” is relatively low-key, and their strength is unknown.
• Pride of the Heroes: A rapidly growing guild in recent years, with substantial financial backing, allowing for fast development. Although they previously had only about 100,000 members, in Divine Decree, they’ve invested heavily and are catching up to old guilds. Their guild base is in Jinling City. There are rumors that “Chen Feng” is also in Jinling City, and people are excited to see the confrontation. Guild leader “Pride of the World”: Level 14 Warrior.
• God King Pavilion: Only accepts top-tier players. Although their numbers have always been the smallest, never exceeding 50,000, their power is undeniable, and they dominate in any game they join. The guild base is in Julu City. Guild leader “God King” has an unknown strength.
• Fate and Demise: This guild didn’t participate in many games but once dominated a major online game, causing even the top ten guilds to leave. At its peak, it had over 400,000 members. Their guild base is in Jibing City. Guild leader “Fate Begins” has an unknown strength.
• Soloists’ Paradise: Composed of countless solo players, this guild has the largest membership, with over 1 million members. It was formed by solo players who were oppressed by large guilds in a once-popular online game. Their guild base is in Huangsha City. Guild leader “Solo Players Go Mad”: Level 13 Archer.
• Three Kingdoms Unrivaled: A guild made up entirely of Three Kingdoms game fans, with a peak membership of 400,000. Their guild base is in Huangsha City. Guild leader “Dream Back to Three Kingdoms”: Level 13 Mage.
• Solid Rampart: Rumored to be formed by retired military personnel, this guild has extremely high member quality, and their coordination is impeccable. Their maximum membership is over 200,000. Their guild base is in Julu City. Guild leader “Guardian”: Level 13 Shield Guard.

Do you notice anything from the information above? Yes, several guilds seem to have a tacit understanding to separate into different cities. Only Julu City and Huangsha City have two guilds each. However, the two guilds in Julu City don’t conflict as one only accepts top-tier players and the other recruits retired soldiers, so there are no significant issues.

On the other hand, in Huangsha City, members of Soloists’ Paradise and Three Kingdoms Unrivaled often clash, although there haven’t been large-scale guild wars yet.

The game “Divine Decree” has also seen many guilds rise rapidly, and new talents are emerging—Chen Feng is a prime example.

As “Divine Decree” becomes more prominent, players from other games are quickly decreasing, and it’s likely that soon, only this game will remain. The arrival of the top ten guilds will undoubtedly bring exciting stories to the game, and “Wangyou Baixiaosheng” will continue to keep everyone updated with the latest news from Divine Decree. Thank you for your support!

Wu Shaochen patiently read through the long post, something he had never done before. While he had heard of the top guilds in the gaming world, he had never seen such a detailed breakdown.

“It looks like this game will get more and more exciting,” Wu Shaochen smiled as he read the post. This was the kind of competition he had been hoping for.

Soon, his takeout arrived, and Wu Shaochen dug in, saving the leftovers in the fridge for later. After finishing, his phone rang again. It was a call from Wu Ziyin. He smacked his forehead; he had completely forgotten to ask her what had happened earlier. His mind had been occupied with the game. He quickly answered.

“Hey, Ziyin…” Wu Shaochen’s voice softened.

“Hey, brother…” Wu Ziyin’s weak voice came from the other end.

“What’s going on? Did something not get handled right? You still haven’t told me what happened,” Wu Shaochen asked.

“No, the matter’s already been resolved. I just accidentally broke something at school, so I need to pay some money for it,” Wu Ziyin quickly explained, trying to reassure him.

“Okay, that’s fine. You should pay for what you broke. Do you have enough money? If not, let me know and I can send you some,” Wu Shaochen replied.

“I’m good, really. Don’t send me more, you’ve already sent me a lot last time. Also…” Wu Ziyin hesitated, afraid of making her brother upset.

“Also what?” Wu Shaochen asked, confused.

“Well… you can’t get mad at me for this,” Wu Ziyin said nervously.

“Go ahead,” Wu Shaochen said with a smile. He knew his sister was thoughtful and good-hearted, so he didn’t think she could have done anything that would really upset him.

“Well, it’s just… the money you sent me last time was a bit too much. After I paid for the broken item, I still had more than 10,000 left. My roommate said that you can make money in Divine Decree, and so… I spent 10,000 on a helmet,” Wu Ziyin said sheepishly.

“That’s it?” Wu Shaochen asked in disbelief, not really upset. He had originally planned on buying her a helmet but had hesitated since she didn’t play games. Now, he was curious why she would want to play.

“Ziyin, you’ve never been into games. Why suddenly now?” Wu Shaochen asked.

“Well… my roommate said the game can make money, and some people have made tens of thousands in-game. I thought maybe I could make some money and ease your burden a bit,” Wu Ziyin said softly.
