Chapter 505 - 372: 2.0 Version Update
Early in the morning, at the Kane Mansion,
Duke Lis Kain, freshly awakened from a warm bed, nostalgically touched the empty space beside him on the bed and called out the system.
In recent days, Lis had indeed relaxed a great deal. While adventuring outdoors, Lis had replaced sleep with meditation, but now he preferred to sleep at night, cuddling the fragrant Risa.
Lis pulled up the system panel to check the newly popped-up system notification.

Lis looked at the new notification on the system panel and the rapidly increasing player comments below, scratching his head.
Truthfully, if Fanor Continent’s 1.0 version plot core involved the war between Feis Kingdom and Boditch Kingdom, then the 2.0 version, just as its name [All-out War] suggests, had the war spread to nearly every Human Kingdom on Fanor Continent.
Unlike other continents, the influence of the Church of the Gods was extremely strong on Fanor Continent. Previously, the Church mediated many disputes and conflicts between kingdoms, maintaining this balance for hundreds of years.
This allowed powerful kingdoms to restrain their ambitions and caused incompetent kings to exploit the people outrageously while living lavishly and relying on the protection of the Church of the Gods.
Regardless of how weak a kingdom was, those powerful kingdoms could not recklessly defy the Church of the Gods and attack them.
But now, all that had been disrupted by the Feis Kingdom.

Even though Feis Kingdom’s declaration of war on Boditch Kingdom might have been justified by accusations of espionage and assassination attempts on Feis nobles by Boditch agents, such incidents had occurred before. Usually, the result was the Church of the Gods intervening and at most, granting some compensation.
Through countless years, this was how the Church handled issues. Although more people followed the Church, Fanor Continent seemed peaceful and calm on the surface for a long time, but this also caused the relationship between the Human Kingdoms to stagnate completely, bringing no progress.
After Feis Kingdom declared war on Boditch Kingdom, many kingdoms were shocked upon hearing the news. However, they were aware of King Morton of Feis Kingdom, who had brought prosperity and strength to Feis Kingdom within just a few decades, making it one of the most powerful Human Kingdoms in the eastern part of Fanor Continent.
Instantly, all the Human Kingdoms on Fanor Continent quieted down, silently waiting for the outcome of this war.
Would Feis Kingdom be punished for defying the Church of the Gods, or...
The result remained uncertain until the Royal Capital of Luminous Stone City in Boditch Kingdom was breached, and the King of Bodici had fallen, and not a single one of the Church of the Gods had intervened, not even the Storm Church or the Sea Goddess Church, which had deep ties with Boditch Kingdom. Instead, followers of the Evil God Church stirred up trouble.
Then, many realized that the Church of the Gods had indeed changed its previous stance and would no longer interfere in the chaos and wars among the Human Kingdoms.
This also marked the dawn of a new era on Fanor Continent!
Ambitious Human Kingdoms had already begun to accumulate strength, seizing this opportunity to expand their territories, while some kingdoms, worried and forming alliances, feared invasions from their neighbors.
Of course, there were still more kings who remained immersed in the past peace, unaware that they were about to be swept into the abyss by the tides of the era.
Lis remembered clearly that within just a month of the start of version 2.0, Fanor Continent had erupted in numerous wars between kingdoms, the fires of war covering the entire continent. For a time, the entire continent was engulfed in the smell of gunpowder as centuries-old suppressed conflicts and disputes among Human Kingdoms erupted within a brief period.
Weak nations were invaded and ravaged, powerful ones greedily seized all lands, wealth, and populations, continuously consolidating their strength.
Even the Elf Kingdom in the Navia Great Forest to the south, the Dwarf Kingdom in the Jianuo Mountain Range, and the nomadic tribes across the vast western deserts found themselves involved.
The whole of Fanor Continent was engulfed in a dark chaos, and the only action the Church of the Gods took during this period was to protect the helpless wandering civilians, dividing people’s faith.
It wasn’t until all the kingdoms were exhausted from the wars that the opening of the Different Plane portal, "Phillips Crystal," fell from outside the Gaia World, providing many forces in the Gaia World a new path for exploration and plunder, that the fires of war on Fanor Continent gradually subsided.
Incidentally, among the various Different Planes opened up by "Phillips Crystal," there were very small worlds, worlds the size of Bright City, and some were large, almost half the size of Fanor Continent.
