An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

As for the last one, it is called Nightmare Flower Seed, which is a rare spiritual seed that targets the spiritual realm.

After it matures and blooms, any living person who gets close to it, or even a slightly mentally challenged monster, will be silently pulled into a real nightmare woven by its pollen, and endlessly reincarnated and mired in the dream.

However, according to the system's annotations, since the eerie is itself a collection of negative emotions, they have a very strong resistance to this, and the Nightmare Flower has a relatively small effect on them.

However, Lu Li, who was in his sea of ​​consciousness, gave a high evaluation after seeing the Nightmare Flower seed.

"This thing might be useless to others, but in your hands, it's a top-notch item."

Lu Li explained via telepathy: "The path of cultivation, especially the demonic path you are on, is most averse to the arising of inner demons. The dreams woven by this Nightmare Flower can be used to hone your soul's resilience and temper your killing intent. With my protection, you can train in the nightmare with peace of mind."

Carefully putting away the three seeds, Lu Xueyao couldn't help but sigh. She had to admit that this adventure of crossing the Ghost Gate and entering the unclaimed territory had been incredibly rewarding.

In the last relatively spacious stone house, which resembles a study, one can explore this ruin.

On a decaying wooden table, Lu Xueyao found an old diary that was relatively well-preserved, with a cover made of an unknown animal hide.

She gently opened the diary, which recorded the past glory of this unclaimed territory and the truth of its eventual destruction.

The handwriting in the diary gradually became messy and frantic, and through the paper, a sense of oppression and even suffocation-like despair came over you.

"In the seventh year of the Blood Moon Calendar, another massive wave of strange tides is about to invade. The territory's defenses are already riddled with holes, and our soldiers have been killed or wounded... We can't hold on any longer."

"In order to preserve this foundation, I made a decision that violated ancestral teachings. I activated the long-sealed altar of the evil god, and sacrificed half the lives of the civilians in the territory to that indescribable being, praying that He would send down His divine power to help us resist this catastrophe."

"The transaction is complete... A miracle has descended from the sky."

"But... I was wrong, terribly wrong! Miracles are a calamity far more terrifying than the tide of strange phenomena!"

"What has descended is not salvation, but a monster dressed in a theatrical costume, without any features! It claims to be a servant of the great evil god—the Playful Demon!"

"In just one night... yes, in just one night, that so-called divine servant forcibly dragged the invading monster tide, along with half of my remaining people, onto a stage that appeared out of thin air. It peeled off everyone's faces and turned them into obedient monster slaves..."

"My territory was destroyed, destroyed by my own arrogant and greedy transactions."

"Later generations... if you see this diary, please remember the blood and tears I paid for with my entire territory: do not believe in any miracles on this cursed wasteland."

"Making a deal with an evil god will ultimately lead to an abyss of no return..."

The diary ends abruptly here, the last page stained with glaring, blackened bloodstains.

After reading the diary, Lu Xueyao felt a chill run through her hands and feet, and a solemn expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"The retinue of an evil god..."

Lu Xueyao recalled the S-rank monster, capable of transforming into mythical figures, that her brother had crushed with a single finger not long ago.

The S-rank anomaly possessing the power of rules, deep within this wasteland, turns out to be nothing more than a servant of the so-called evil god, used as an errand boy.

Then, how terrifying must the true power of the evil god who can summon such terrifying followers be to be unimaginably powerful?

For a moment, Lu Xueyao's mind became heavy. She realized that what she was experiencing in this game of survival for the nation's destiny was probably not even the tip of the iceberg of the true nature of this bizarre world.

After putting away her diary, Lu Xueyao didn't linger any longer. She had taken all the benefits she could, and night was about to fall; it was time to return to her territory.

Lu Xueyao put away the starving ghost, the strange bride, and the white bone demon.

She silently chanted in her heart, "Back to the city!"

"Buzz!"

A dazzling white light instantly enveloped the area, and the spatial rules were activated. In the blink of an eye, Lu Xueyao traversed an endless distance and was directly teleported back to her town-level territory, which covered an area of ​​a hundred miles, and landed in the stone house of the lord's mansion.

"It's time to arrange the spoils of war." Lu Xueyao took a deep breath, a hint of anticipation appearing on her beautiful face.

She strode out of the lord's mansion and arrived at the core area of ​​the territory. With a thought, she activated her system inventory.

The first structure to be removed was a Class B building – Blood Pool and Flesh Forest.

"Xueyao, place the Blood Pool and Flesh Forest directly above the core of the Blood Transformation Array."

In her mind's eye, Lu Li's voice rang out at the right moment, the light of her double pupils already having planned out a perfect territory layout for her.

"clear!"

Lu Xueyao understood immediately and used her lord privileges to place the Blood Pool and Flesh Forest in the very center of her territory.

The fusion occurred, and the Blood Transformation Array, composed of twelve black pine wood array flags, had its array patterns perfectly embedded in the dark red stone walls of the Blood Pool and Flesh Forest, as if they were alive.

The two combined form a seamless production line, with the Blood Transformation Array responsible for capturing, imprisoning, and forcibly dissolving the flesh and blood of physical monsters during battle.

Once the strange creature is thrown into the array's core, it will fall directly into the blood pool and flesh forest. Through the building's automatic purification and refining, it will continuously produce pure blood crystals without side effects!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xueyao walked alone into the depths of the black pine forest on the edge of the territory.

With a deafening roar, the three-story S-class building, the Evil God Altar, rose from the ground.

On the dark purple rock, vein-like lines pulsated slightly, radiating a chilling pressure.

Then, Lu Xueyao summoned several of the strongest skeleton monsters.

"Go, plant these seeds."

She gave all the seeds of the Corpse-Eating Vine, Nether Flower, and Nightmare Flower that she had obtained from the unclaimed territory to these skeleton laborers.

The skeletal creatures, their empty eye sockets flickering with gray soul fire, stiffly accepted the seeds and walked to the outer edge of the psionic farm to begin tilling the soil and sowing.

They even used old wooden buckets to draw pale golden spring water from the Grade A Creation Spring and meticulously watered the seeds.

This scene left hundreds of millions of viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream completely dumbfounded, with the barrage of comments scrolling wildly like a waterfall.

[Holy crap! Making skeletons farm and water crops? Even capitalists would be ashamed!]

[Goddess Xueyao's territory development is simply outrageous! The Blood Transformation Array combined with the Blood Pool and Flesh Forest has achieved an automated assembly line for recycling bizarre remains; now even farming is fully automated!]

While others are playing PUBG in the Eternal Night Wasteland, Goddess Xueyao is playing a dark version of Farm Tycoon!

[A true core employee, working 007 (24/7), and doesn't even need a salary—I'm so envious!]

After arranging the planting, Lu Xueyao went to the side of the farmland and placed the A-grade building, the Moon Well, properly.
