Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

"Don't touch that!"

The power of Wan Jin Chao Zong swiftly bypassed all objects currently in use.

It only absorbs metals that are truly unclaimed or that have been granted permission by their owners.

[Little Golden Treasure, a member of the family, completes its life evolution.]

[Realm Advancement: Early Stage of the Eleventh Rank.]

[Gained evolved form: Myriad Gold Beast.]

[Gained Ability: Dissolve All Pacts.]

[Can remove the marks of forced enslavement, hostile manipulation, and the law of no master from within weapons.]

It is impossible to forcibly seize a weapon that is under the active control of its normal owner.

[Gained Ability: Treasures Gather in the Treasury.]

[It can create independent metal vaults and transfer unclaimed materials between nodes in the host world.]

When Little Jinbao saw the last line of the prompt, his eyes lit up completely.

It immediately carved out an independent treasure trove deep within the Carapace Cave.

As soon as the treasure vault was formed, Chu Zhou's roots placed a blue lotus seal at the entrance.

[Loot Registration Area.]

Little Jinbao stood in front of the seal, silent for a long time.

"Owner."

"This is my ability."

"It is also a world node for me."

"Can I keep a layer for myself?"

Chu Zhou's roots carved out the smallest possible area within the treasure vault.

This floor is yours.

Little Jinbao looked at his own floor, then looked at the remaining nine floors outside.

Ultimately, it first emptied everything from its storage bag into its own area.

At least I won't have to worry about the bag breaking anymore.

The seventh evolutionary fluctuation was not as strong as the eleventh-order law.

However, it covers the entire outer domain patrol area of ​​one thousand kilometers.

Black Tiger King stood at the boundary of what was originally the restricted area.

After the expansion, this area has changed from the outermost perimeter to the boundary between the inner and outer regions.

Tens of thousands of strange beasts are migrating.

Some headed to the newborn forest, some were unwilling to leave their original territory, and a large number of low-level cubs were frightened by the sudden appearance of the folded space and fled in all directions.

The Black Tiger King did not enter the area with the most concentrated spiritual energy to absorb the source.

It has been traveling between different mountain passes.

Which roads are allowed for spirit beasts to pass through?

Which areas need to be temporarily locked down?

Where there are human villages and towns, large alien beasts must not be allowed to approach.

All information is channeled into its Azure Lotus Mark through the outer patrol array patterns.

The Black Tiger King originally had only a simple lotus pattern on his forehead.

At this moment, twelve black tiger stripes, representing different patrol areas, gradually emerged around the lotus pattern.

It did not acquire the immense power to move mountains and seas.

His body has only grown a little bit since before.

But when the Black Tiger King let out a low roar, all the intelligent beasts within the entire thousand-mile outer domain could clearly hear its command.

[The Black Tiger King, a subordinate of the King, has completed its life evolution.]

[Realm Advancement: Mid-Tenth Rank.]

[Gained evolved form: Border-Patrolling Black Tiger.]

[Gained Ability: Hundred Beasts Patrol the Mountain.]

[Registered exotic beasts within the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone can be deployed to jointly maintain border order.]

[Gained Ability: Passage Through Restricted Areas.]

[It can temporarily open and close external portals and determine whether entrants carry hostile laws.]

After reading the information from the Azure Lotus Mark, the Black Tiger King was not disappointed that he had not advanced to the eleventh rank.

It raised its front paws.

The folding entrance closest to the city was immediately closed.

Another road, specifically for the Ninth Bureau's transport team, slowly opened up at the foot of the mountain.

The originally chaotic migration routes of the spirit beasts were quickly stabilized under the coordination of the Hundred Beasts Patrol Mountain.

A root from Chu Zhou crossed the mountains and forests and landed on the Black Tiger King's forehead.

"Patrolling over distant lands."

"I'll leave it to you from now on."

Black Tiger King looked up at the boundary of the restricted area, which was twice as large as before.

"It won't be chaotic."

The three words fell.

The twelve black tiger stripes lit up simultaneously.

The eighth aura of evolution appeared in the area of ​​newly grown spiritual plants.

Queen bee Jinrui led the bee swarm through the Jianmu root network from the Changbai Mountain node.

Tens of thousands of otherworldly spiritual plants appeared in the expanded restricted area.

Many of these pollen grains carry different laws of the world, and even slight contact with them can cause bloodline contamination in ordinary bee colonies.

Jinrui did not allow the bees to collect nectar immediately.

It first flew alone to all the spiritual plant areas, marking each flower that was contaminated or poisonous.

Only after confirming safety did the first batch of bees begin to enter.

Pollen from 361 worlds slowly mingles within the beehive.

No conflict occurred.

Each type of pollen is separated into individual beehives, eventually producing honey with different properties.

The golden patterns on Jinrui's body surface gradually turned into a bluish-gold color.

The hive also grew from an ordinary building into a small life realm capable of housing millions of spirit bees.

[Queen bee Jinrui completes her life evolution.]

[Realm Advancement: Early Stage of the Tenth Rank.]

[Achieved evolved form: Queen Bee of All Realms.]

[Gained Ability: Honey of the Hundred Flowers Realm.]

[Special spiritual honey can be brewed to heal injuries to the physical body, soul, and laws, based on the different laws governing various spiritual plants.]

[Gained Ability: Swarm Network.]

[The passage of spirit bees can provide information on contamination, hostility, and changes in spirit plants in restricted areas.]

The first batch of wild honeybees is not yet fully mature.

Jinrui then sent three of the jars to Xuanjia Beijia Cave.

One can is for the injured extraterrestrials.

One jar is used to treat the lingering injuries caused by the Xuanjia armor.

The last can was delivered to the outer patrol post under the Black Tiger King's jurisdiction.

Little Jinbao smelled the fragrance and immediately followed behind the transporting spirit bees.

But as soon as it got close, the swarm of bees formed a clear line of text in the air.

[For use only by the wounded.]

Little Jinbao circled the bee colony once.

In the end, they didn't forcibly take it away, but only asked when Jinrui could brew a metallic flavor.

Jinrui did not answer.

For the first time, it began to seriously consider whether there were any metallic spirit plants capable of flowering within the restricted area.

As the core members of the clan completed their evolution, other beasts in the forbidden zone also received feedback from the source.

A large number of new spiritual fluctuations appeared in the beast herd that had not yet developed intelligence.

The giant ape responsible for transporting spiritual materials broke through to the eighth rank.

Several aquatic beasts patrolling the waterways simultaneously condensed water-suppressing patterns.

The birds living in the northern mountains also gained the ability to pass through the folds of lower-level spaces.

Chu Zhou did not convert them all into official family members.

Black Tiger King first established new registration rules.

Beasts that are willing to accept the restrictions of the restricted area can obtain a Green Lotus Pass, a fixed territory, and cultivation resources.

Those who do not wish to join may also reside in the outer mountains and forests.

As long as they do not actively attack residential areas or damage the ley lines, the Ninth Bureau and the patrolling beasts will not forcibly control them.

After the restricted area has been expanded, the system notification appears again.

[Statistics on the current strength of core family members.]

[Qingfeng: Early stage of 11th rank.]

[Mystic Armor: Early Stage of Tier 11.]

[Mountain Demon: Early Stage of Eleventh Rank.]

[Azure Sea Dragon Whale King: Early Stage of Tier 11.]

[Bai Shan Jun: Early Stage of the Eleventh Rank.]

[Little Golden Treasure: Early Stage of Tier 11.]

[Black Tiger King: Mid-Tier 10.]

[Queen Bee Golden Bud: Early Stage 10]

The Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone has already acquired the ability to independently withstand early-stage Tier 12 enemies.

[When the host is not in the ancestral realm, the retinue can jointly draw upon a portion of the power of the myriad lotus realms through the Twelve Realm-Suppressing Arrays.]

Twelve azure and silver array platforms slowly rose from different areas of the forbidden zone.

Qingfeng has taken over the Eastern Root Network.

Xuanjia guards the central water vein.

The mountain chieftain is in charge of the northern mountains.

Bai Shanjun is stationed on the west side of Xinglu Road.

The Dragon Whale King of the Vast Ocean sank into the Southern Boundary Sea.

Xiao Jinbao is in charge of the forbidden zone's weapons and metal array patterns.

The Black Tiger King controls the outer perimeter patrol.

The bee colony of Jinrui became an intelligence network covering a vast area.

The remaining positions are currently vacant.

It is not required to fill it up immediately.

A strange rock hangs on the edge of the lotus platform of Chu Zhou.

It never entered any of the subordinate positions.

The first natal inscription remains intact.

However, after Chu Zhou advanced to the twelfth rank and the forbidden zone expanded, a second extremely blurry scarlet outline finally emerged from deeper within the stone body.

The inscription on the stele has not yet truly recovered.

Its appearance lasted only a moment, yet it caused a slight tremor in the second stone gate of the Azure Lotus Prison.

The roots of the Chu boat entangled the edge of the strange rock.

The twelfth-order life essence slowly entered the stone body.

"My beloved concubine has also broken through to a higher level?"

A crimson light suddenly shone on the surface of the strange rock.

"I am not your kin."

"I didn't say you were."

"Then loosen the roots."

Chu Zhou has no pine trees.

The second natal inscription has become slightly clearer under the nurturing influence of the source of life.

The strange rock struggled several times, but found that it could not shake open the roots without damaging the newly restored stele patterns, so it could only give a cold reminder.

"No more items of the thirteenth rank shall be dragged into the prison until the second stele pattern is fully restored."

The twelve lotus leaves of the Chu boat swayed gently.

"I will do my best."

The light emanating from the strange rock suddenly became even more dangerous.

On the third day after the expansion of the penalty area, the ninth inning completed the first round of boundary checks.

In reality, highways, railways, and cities were not affected.

The residents who originally lived in the surrounding mountains and forests only noticed that the distant peaks were taller than before, and that they could occasionally see a silvery-blue curtain of light at night.

The true core restricted area is folded behind a space inaccessible to ordinary people.

The Ninth Bureau established liaison stations at twelve public entrances.

Plant researchers, medical teams, transport teams, and licensed Awakened Ones can enter the Outer Realms through normal registration.

The core lotus domain remains closed to the public.

What global satellites can see is only the phantom of a twelve-petaled blue lotus shrouding the mountains and rivers of the Dragon Kingdom.

The shadow did not block the sunlight.

However, any law that carries pollution and hostility will immediately trigger the Azure Lotus Alert once it enters the thousand-mile range.

The White Eagle Nation, the Europa League, and the Northern Bear Nation are reassessing the strength of the Black Dragon Lake restricted area.

The final result can no longer be represented by the ordinary disaster level.

A twelve-tiered lotus of the Heavenly Path.

Six core members of the eleventh rank.

Two level 10 restricted area managers.

Twelve world nodes.

And the second level of the Azure Lotus Prison, capable of independently suppressing twelfth-order life forms.

The Global Joint Defence Council did not list Black Dragon Lake as the greatest global threat.

Instead, at the end of the file, a completely new title was used for the first time.

[The First Forbidden Zone of the Ancestral Realm.]

When Zhou Zhenshan and Elder Ye returned to Heilong Lake, the original wooden platform was still there.

The lake's surface has not expanded.

But as the two passed through the outer realm passage opened by the Black Tiger King, the landscape before them suddenly changed.

In the distance are the ten giant peaks that the mountain spirits had just moved there.

The Xuanjia armored creature, carrying the back armor cave, slowly passed through the newly formed waters.

The azure vines of Qingfeng stretched across the sky.

The golden bee swarm resembles a golden river, shuttling between different areas of spiritual plants.

Old Ye stood there for a long time.

"Last time I came here, I could see the other side of the lake from a pot of tea."

"If we want to get to the other side now, we'll probably have to ask Xuanjia when they're setting sail."

Zhou Zhenshan was still carrying the old thermos in his hand.

In her other hand, she held a blue lotus that the little girl had just drawn.

The lotus flower on the paper has been changed from ten leaves to twelve.

There was no longer just one black dot in Little Jinbao's arms.

Instead, he was carrying a bag bigger than himself, with various metals piled up behind him.

Chu Zhou rolled up the drawing paper with his roots.

Little Jinbao flew over from Xuanjia's back and examined it carefully for a long time.

"This drawing is almost finished."

It then pointed to its own storage bag on the paper: "The bag is still too small."

The Black Tiger King returned from his patrol of the outer realms.

Upon hearing this, I only glanced at it.

"No matter how big the paper is, it can't hold everything you want to bring back."

Little Jinbao was about to retort.

In the distance, the twelve boundary-suppressing arrays lit up simultaneously.

It was not an enemy attack.

Instead, the Heilonghu restricted area officially completed the registration of the "Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers".

The twelve lotus leaves of the Chu boat reflected the entire forbidden area.

The sound traveled along all the patrol array patterns, reaching the consciousness of every member of the family and the awakened beast.

"From today onwards."

"The outer domain of the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone has expanded by one thousand kilometers."

"Those who are willing to follow the rules may pass."

"Those who come seeking medical treatment, refuge, or to conduct business may register."

"But if it carries pollution, the laws of enslavement and hostility will step into the forbidden zone."

The twelve boundary-suppressing array platforms trembled simultaneously, and the auras of the six eleventh-tier followers soared into the sky.

"All laws cease; those who cross the boundary shall be subdued."
