Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

The more Xiao Yun thought about it, the louder and clearer the murmurs in his ears became.

It seemed as if countless people were roaring and cheering wildly:

"The world returns to the dead! All things are reborn!"

Under that eerie and wondrous melody, the look in Xiao Yun's eyes began to unfocus, and he murmured softly:

"The world... belongs to the dead..."

His body was gradually covered with a layer of frost.

At that moment, the Dragon Heart pounded wildly in his chest, accompanied by a majestic low roar.

[Eternal Blood] activated on its own, and a crimson-gold hue appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Yun suddenly woke up with a start.

After discovering the abnormality in his body, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

"The dead are not just a calamity on the night of the full moon, but a disaster that sweeps across the entire world!"

"Perhaps the root cause of the strange changes in the cold winter is related to the dead..."

Xiao Yun's face turned pale. He instinctively tried to think, but then stopped himself in an instant.

"I can't think about it anymore. I'm too easily influenced. I should wait until after the full moon or after I advance to the seventh sequence before I can study it in depth."

Xiao Yun cleared his mind of distractions and slowly calmed himself down using the "Unity of Heaven and Man" technique.

Just then, he realized that the guild channel was frantically calling for him.

Jiang Shangzhen: "@Xiao Yun, a King-level Withering Vulture has appeared in the South Campus. Jing Feiwan requests backup!"

"I'll go right away!"

Xiao Yun's expression turned solemn. He stood up, wiped the frost off his body and sword, and walked towards the designated teleportation portal.

Under the crimson full moon, disasters are raging all over the world.

Many areas were quickly overrun by attacks from King-level monsters and the internal catastrophe of the dead.

If you could look down on the entire Eternal Terra from God's perspective, you would find that the azure sea has long been frozen around this vast and boundless continent.

In the eastern part of the continent, along the banks of a great river that runs almost through the entire eastern continent, there was a once very large and prosperous settlement.

This place was originally one of the most prosperous cities in Dongda, a misty, rainy Jiangnan region, a land of fish and rice.

Even after traveling through time, this place still retains its original characteristics—abundant resources, so there's no need to rob; a quick stroll around is enough to satisfy all needs.

But everything changed after winter arrived.

The arrival of the full moon only made matters worse.

The past comforts eventually led to disaster. In an instant, the dead formed a large army, and even several kings appeared.

At the entrance of the shelter, a well-equipped middle-aged couple and a beautiful young girl stood facing each other.

"Little Moon, stay home and look after the house. Prepare dinner. Your dad and I will be back soon."

"Um."

The girl nodded, forcing a smile.

Watching her parents' figures disappear into the crimson moonlight, she wiped away her tears, heartbroken.

"I'm too weak. I wish I could be as strong as Mr. Death..."

……

In the northeast of the Eastern Continent, amidst high mountains and deep forests.

The heavily armored youth licked the warm blood from his face, grinned widely, and charged into the beast horde once more, wielding his greatsword.

"The battle was awesome!"

……

In the southwest of the eastern continent, in a deep basin.

In the cold office, a slender woman sat behind her desk.

Even at this time, she was wearing a full uniform, her hair was neatly combed, and she even wore perfume.

However, her tense expression betrayed her inner turmoil.

"The special operations team handled the situation well, and the internal deaths were not a significant threat, but why are so many professionals in good condition suddenly dying?"

"At this rate, we'll collapse on our own, without even needing the dead or monsters..."

Just then, a message popped up in the guild chat:

"Team Leader Ai, please arrange for personnel to resolve the issue of the professional's sudden death immediately. The chairman said that if it cannot be resolved by noon tomorrow, your special operations team can be disbanded."

The woman lowered her head in thought, her eyes filled with weariness and distress.

……

ideal country.

They worked for an unknown amount of time, until everyone was injured, and the wounded were rotated several times.

Fortunately, the situation gradually stabilized.

Good news kept coming in.

"The student council president defeated a King-level monster in the South Campus! That vulture's wings were even chopped off!"

Many of the combat personnel who had returned from the front lines also looked excited:

"Hey, you guys have no idea how much fun this was! Those monsters were like idiots, crowding together for us to attack. I just blasted a whole bunch of them with one Alchemy Explosive, like mowing grass!"

"Dude, you're just relying on the guild leader's prophetic abilities to set up defenses and gather monsters for you. It's not as fun as what we in the North District have done. Ever tried armor fusion? Do you know what it feels like to go on a rampage through a beast horde?"

"Hey buddy, hold on a second, I have a question for you—where's your leg? You're missing one!"

"No problem, it won't stop me from wearing armor later. Besides, we're almost ready to develop a Gundam over there, so I can just go be a pilot!"

Finally, when Zhong Mo returned to the main building carrying an eyeball with tentacles, the atmosphere instantly reached its climax.

"Holy crap! Even the King-level beings are dead! Minister Zhong is awesome! No wonder he's a big shot in the seventh-sequence special profession!"

"Brother, you're flattering the wrong person. Look at the sword mark on that eyeball; the guild leader is clearly the MVP!"

After a while of laughter and merriment, the group suddenly felt as if they had been transported to another world.

"He's alive..."

"Yes, another day has passed. No matter when or where, Cola Novels will always be your most loyal reading companion."

Overwhelmed with joy at surviving the ordeal, many wept with happiness.

"It's been almost 24 hours since the full moon, and the most dangerous part is basically over. All that's left is to stay vigilant and take precautions."

Jing Feiwan sat in the conference room, rubbing her sore calves, a look of感慨 on her face:

"Looks like we don't need the support from the Land of No Worries anymore. My little man is amazing!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her arm and draped it over Xiao Yun beside her.

Xiao Yun dodged to the side, giving her a disdainful look:

"Don't try to get close to me, who says we're on the same side as you?"

"Oh, you were praising me for making you feel good just half an hour ago, and now you're turning your back on me. You men are all the same."

"...I shouldn't have let you cast that healing spell on me just to save time."

Xiao Yun's lips twitched violently, and he helplessly rubbed his forehead:

"Stop fooling around, Minister Jing, I'm thinking about serious matters."

"What important matter? Are you discussing whether Su Su or I should be the legal wife?"

"..."

Xiao Yun was completely at a loss and began to speak his own thoughts:

"Don't you think this full moon night was too easy?"

After hearing this, Jing Feiwan raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise:

"Simple? This is the first time I've heard someone complain that the night of the full moon is simple."

"The impact of King-level monsters, beast hordes, and the dead has everyone swamped. Hundreds of professionals have died, and half of the infrastructure is destroyed. Aren't you satisfied yet?"

Jing Feiwan, with a mocking expression, reached out and lifted Xiao Yun's chin, laughing:

"Hehehe, I didn't know my little man had this kind of hobby... No problem, I can have it too!"

As she spoke, her smile faded. He crossed his legs and coldly commanded Xiao Yun:

"Come, give this queen a leg massage!"

"roll!"

Xiao Yun glared at her, then sighed softly.

"I always feel like it's not over yet..."

Jing Feiwan sighed softly, thinking that he was overthinking it.

At the doorway, Gu Shen suddenly stopped, his face extremely grim.

"Why are these guys showing up now? The spirit world hasn't even fully appeared yet, how could the seal be broken so early?"

His main consciousness switched to his clone, looking at the bizarre creature before him, three stories high and resembling a pile of rotting flesh, and he sighed softly:

"The overlord-level ones are all here... This is tough..."

ideal country.

Xiao Yun pondered for a long time, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

So he silently opened the preview system and searched for information.

After a silent wait, a black pop-up appeared, with large, blood-red characters flashing wildly on my retina.

[Trailer Announcement: A series of deaths unexpectedly summoned a terrifying being sealed in the abyss; a supreme ruler leads two kings to descend.]

[Preview: The Abyss - Corrupted Titan (Overlord) appears near Worry-Free Land]

[Preview: The Abyss - The Yellow-Robed Cleric has summoned four King-level monsters, gathering around the Ideal Country, preparing to launch a surprise attack at dawn tomorrow.]

Xiao Yun's pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly stood up from his chair.

"What happened?!"

The people nearby, who were discussing postwar reconstruction, were startled.

Xiao Yun's face was ashen as he explained the information he had received.

The conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Jing Feiwan forced a smile:

"No...no way, little man, you can't be joking, can you? Five King-level beings, and they've formed a force, preparing for a surprise attack? How is that possible?"

"I didn't want to, but that's just how it is."

Xiao Yun sighed softly, and the others also frowned.

"How's the situation in Wuyou Township? With so many King-level experts gathered here, the pressure on other places should be less. Can you send people to provide support?"

Everyone looked at Jing Feiwan, who remained silent for a moment before indicating that she would ask first.

Xiao Yun waved his hand, stopping her from taking out her phone.

"Don't waste resources. The situation in Wuyou Township is probably not optimistic either. And even if we can provide support, it's so dangerous outside. We might not be able to get there by dawn tomorrow."

Everyone's faces fell, and they began to discuss the plan.

The atmosphere grew increasingly somber. Xiao Yun lowered his head, looking at the [Profession Advancement Card] in his hand.

"Looks like I need to advance to the next level..."

Time passed by unnoticed, and soon it was dawn.

A pessimistic atmosphere still permeated the meeting room, and a group of people even proposed a contingency plan to preserve the flame.

Xiao Yun found an opportunity to sneak back to his dormitory, intending to advance his skills there.

However, the Crow King, who was far away on the South Campus, suddenly sent an urgent message.

"The Tarot is urging me to participate? Is the situation urgent, concerning all the survivors?"

Xiao Yun frowned slightly and shook his head:

"I'm busy. You can go and listen in. Just let me know if you get any important information."

"Giggle! (Got it!)"

The Crow King responded, just about to do as Xiao Yun said.

Suddenly, Xiao Yun said again:

"Wait a minute, I think... I sensed something..."

Xiao Yun was surprised.

Just now, as if sensing that the danger was not over, a strange tremor ran through my heart again.

It seems I'll regret not attending this tarot gathering?
