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

In an instant, the extremely rich vitality almost turned into liquid and dripped down, and even the space around the imperial carriage could not withstand this power of creation, so that golden lotuses of the Great Dao bloomed.

Lu Li glanced at the Qilin Immortality Elixir in his hand, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes.

If it were just a few days ago, when he was desperately seeking a way to prolong his life on the outskirts of the Undying Mountain, this elixir of immortality would have driven him mad.

But now, having just received the five thousand years of lifespan reward as a protector, his vital energy is at its peak, so he doesn't need such a divine object for the time being.

He flipped his hand and sealed it in a jade box, storing it in his storage space for future use.

……

Meanwhile, in the Eternal Night Wasteland.

Soichiro Yagyu, the chosen one of the Sakura Kingdom, is a swordsman dressed in traditional samurai attire. He not only successfully established his own territory on the first day, but also displayed a suffocatingly powerful aura.

His manor was also mysteriously invaded at night.

It was an all-pervasive C-level water monster; the foul-smelling black water had seeped into its territory, almost submerging his ankles.

But Yagyu Souichirou showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he drew his katana, unhesitatingly slashed his palm, splattering blood into the air, and roared fiercely, "Come forth, Orochi!"

"boom--"

The black mist above the territory was instantly torn apart, and a huge golden phantom descended with a roar.

This was none other than a terrifying phantom of a demon god with eight ferocious heads and eight thick tails—a golden-quality monster pet, Yamata no Orochi!

Its eight heads, as large as small mountains, had sixteen scarlet vertical pupils that radiated a greedy desire to devour everything.

Following Yagyu Souichirou's command, one of the Yamata no Orochi's heads suddenly opened its gaping maw, unleashing a powerful suction force.

The foul-smelling stagnant water that was trying to encroach on the territory, along with the C-level water monster hidden in the water, didn't even have a chance to struggle before being completely swallowed up by that head, just like a whale sucking in water!

"roar!"

After devouring the water monster, the Yamata no Orochi let out a deafening roar.

Its phantom became more solid, and the eerie pressure it emitted surged from D-level to C-level!

As a Ghost Master, Yagyu Souichirou received a boost from the Ghost Pet and successfully advanced to a C-rank Ghost Master.

Feeling the surging supernatural power within him, he gripped his katana tightly and slashed out, leaving a sharp, visible shockwave in the air.

"Lord Yagyu is invincible! The value of this golden-level monster pet is still rising!"

"Hahaha, that water monster didn't even have a chance to fight back! Our Great Sakura Empire is the strongest in the national destiny game!"

On the other side of the live stream, another chosen one named Hiiro Kamishiro was also attacked in a strange manner.

Unable to establish a territory, Hizuki Kamishiro could only huddle in a damp cave.

At that moment, she was being stared at by a C-rank starving monster that reeked of stench and had a bulging belly. The starving monster did not rush at her directly, but stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at her with a cold gaze, and foul-smelling sludge kept dripping from the corner of its mouth.

"Get out of here!"

With a scream, Hiiro Shinobi summoned her purple-quality monster, the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

This eerie creature has disheveled hair, and its once normal face is now split open with a terrifying gaping maw that extends all the way to its ears.

Moreover, as it appeared, gaping maws filled with sharp teeth burst open on its chest, abdomen, and even limbs.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman's defining characteristic is its ability to devour. Seeing the approaching, starving monster, Hiiro Kamishiro's eyes flashed with madness: "Slit-Mouthed Woman, eat it up!"

Upon receiving the command, the Slit-Mouthed Woman opened all of her dozens of mouths at the same time, lunged at the Starving Ghost, bit off half of its body, and then swallowed it whole.

"She swallowed it! Miss Kamishiro won too!"

"The purple-colored monster is indeed very strong!"

Just when viewers in Japan thought the crisis was over, the Slit-Mouthed Woman's originally swollen body suddenly began to shrivel up at an extremely fast speed in the live broadcast.

"What's going on?" Hizuki Kamishiro's face turned pale. She was horrified to see that something was writhing and gnawing wildly under the skin of the slit-mouthed woman's abdomen.

It turns out that after the starving ghost entered the body of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, it was not digested. Instead, it triggered its insatiable hunger rule and began to feast on the flesh and blood of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, which was full of supernatural power, starting from the inside!

It only lasted a few dozen seconds.

"Pfft!"

The slit-mouthed woman's withered belly was torn apart by a pale hand.

It was completely swallowed up, leaving not even the supernatural core behind.

The starving monster crawled out unharmed, its belly even rounder, its greedy eyes fixed on the terrified Hiiro Shinobu.

"No... Help—ah!"

Accompanied by chewing sounds, Hizuki Kamishiro was swallowed whole by the starving monster.

[National Fortune Announcement!]

[The Chosen One of the Cherry Blossom Country, Hiiro Kamishiro, is dead!]

[Deduct 10 points of Japan's national fortune value!]

[Punishment Arrives: 1000 C-rank Starving Monsters will appear within the territory of the Sakura Kingdom!]

The moment the announcement was made, the celebrations in Japan came to an abrupt halt, replaced by endless fear and condemnation.

"Baka! That stupid, idiotic woman! She brought the devil into reality!"

However, the insults were to no avail on the bustling streets of Tokyo, the land of cherry blossoms.

Clusters of black mist appeared out of thin air, and one after another, starving monsters with swollen bellies and foul-smelling slime dripping from their mouths pounced on the dense crowd like zombies unleashed from their cages.

They bite anyone they see, devouring flesh, steel, and even concrete structures with their insatiable jaws.

The bustling street instantly turned into a bloody hell.

Immediately afterwards, a system announcement sounded.

[A vacancy for the Chosen One has been detected. A new Chosen One is being randomly selected from the Kingdom of Sakura...]

The next day, in the Eternal Night Wasteland, a gray-white light appeared on the horizon, suppressing the chilling aura that had raged across the wasteland all night.

Lu Xueyao opened her eyes on the stone bed in the lord's mansion.

After a whole night of staring directly at the terrifying illusions of the B-level Ghost Eye, although she had not yet condensed the first Hundred Soul Seal in her sea of ​​consciousness, her spiritual power had been tempered in a transformative way.

The original range of 500 meters has now increased to an astonishing 2,000 meters.

"Hoo..." Lu Xueyao exhaled a breath of stale air, her eyes gleaming.

She pushed open the stone door and breathed in the cold air of the wasteland.

She plans to collect the special base material needed to build the [Strange Fire] today – Strange Stone.

This is the most crucial building for all the chosen ones to survive in the early stages.

However, deep within her sea of ​​consciousness, Lu Li's wisp of imperial divine consciousness, which had been entrenched there, had already silently spread outwards, instantly covering an area of ​​a hundred miles in radius.
